She opens the video telling us again that Mark used to be a project manager. I stopped there, I wonder if I should save the video for later in the day and make a drinking game out of it - 1 shot every time Mark is glorified for the most mundane skill?

Quick, should somebody tell Anna that Haiti and Afghanistan really need her good vibes right now? Please, Anna, the people are begging you, government officials are crying out: "If only we had some good vibes! BUT WHO WILL SEND THEM?"

What the chuffing fuck is this "look"?!
Is she just trolling now?

What is this title
Sounds like one of Tattle thread parody titles. Bloody hell she's cringe.

Anna to me is not a beauty or fashion influencer. She some lady with a big enough following that puts together expensive clothes and makeup badly with a doofy husband that she employs to take really bad pictures. Her. content is just to make money to support her life style. She knows it we know it. Unfortunately she has enough people that follow her that keep her in business.

And just to add, I hate how she keeps turning away from the camera to tell Mark what it is she’s talking about, hence repeating the same thing twice. That so badly needs to be edited.

You’ve just made me realise what it is that’s irritating me about her videos - the turning to Mark and repeating thing reminds me of phone calls with older relatives where the one on the phone keeps breaking away from the conversation to tell whoever is sitting near them what the conversation is about. ‘Oh you’ve bought shoes‘ turns away from the phone but you can still hear every part of the following one-sided conversations ‘yes, she’s bought shoes, you know, brown ones like the ones you got from Clarks that time but that didn’t fit and you had to take them back. Yes, the ones that gave you a bunion - no, a bunion, that’s why you’re in your slippers now. Yes, I know you need new slippers’ Turns back to the phone ‘And are they nice shoes?’ I love my relatives but that drives me insane ...

Title thread by @LittleBluebird oh my word!

Fashion and beauty recap from the last thread...

(First time poster to this thread - hi everyone!) My issue with Mark working for Anna is that he is objectively bad at his job. I don't begrudge him for quitting a job he didn't like. Anna clearly makes enough to support their family. But to give him responsibilities which he fails at, like taking awkward pictures and doing sloppy admin work, negatively affects Anna's brand and has kind of turned me off of her. I'd respect him more if he just embraced being a househusband and spent his days gardening and feeding birds, or whatever the f he does.

If anyone was on the fence about Mark being hot, in today's vlog we have him looking at his dandruff in the scalp massager and then picking his nose. Ryan Gosling's got some hot hot competition.

The whole “unexpected childcare” is another bullshit lie. As someone who lives with a trainspotter… that green steam engine on the edge of one of the photos is the Flying Scotsman, which is at the Bluebell Railway right now. Tickets to see it sold out ages ago. So this day out was very much planned.

She can’t have it both ways, imo.
She can’t get to AF to baby stuff to make bank while at the same time acting like she never had a baby. She’s happy enough to use him for links to make coin, but won’t show the odd picture of him or feature him in her life. Either stay the same course you always were and don’t mention baby things at all, or do and feature him a bit because otherwise it’s weird and shows a blatant disregard for those who have thus far invested in your life. The life you have AF’d the arse end out of and made great money from. She wants it both ways.. to make money from linking products to vulnerable mothers, but keeping the luxury of having her baby separate from her online life. She needs to pick a lane. She’s as shrewd as any of them. Her goofy smile doesn’t fool me.

She used to have a personality online. She has really scaled it back recently and I’m not even sure what she has to offer anymore only linking to oversized unflattering clothes and awful shoes. She’s phoning it in and she knows it.

i think Anna is basically a total vanilla. She likes routines and mainstream things. She was into make up and fashion, into healthy eating and sport, planning and renovating, jumping on to the property ladder and starting a family. Pretty much the normal stage’s people go through from 20-30. Being so ordinary was her big selling point.
She is probably not very confrontational and has a happy disposition (or had. After moving this seemed to change rapidly). She was lucky the mainstream style suited her extremely well when she started out and her purchases/sponsor partners fit mostly financially to her audience. Wearing the same 5 Whistles blouses for two years (not cheap but also reasonable priced) is much more relatable than buying £300 Chloe boots only to wear them for one season - never to be seen again. Now, her content resolves heavily around overpriced items that don’t even make her look nice anymore. The beige/yellow/brown is tricky for many white people. If you are not graced with a perfect rosy porcelain skin (and most aren’t) you just look like you have been locked up in an Victorian asylum for decades or are straight out of an workhouse. The massive eyebrows, strange poses and open mouth grimaces do the rest. Combined with orthopaedic fashion that makes you look like you are literally wearing layers of potatoes sacks (because all those rustic, natural fibres) for several hundreds of pounds. This has basically ended her option of being a fashion or make up person. If she stayed with what flattered her, she would be less fashionable but look pretty and could argue she had found her style.
Her flat renovation was good enough content with clear ideas about reselling and budget decisions. Their decisions around the mouldy mansion (what’s up with the snails in the kitchen nowadays by the way?) are mostly strange. Buying an older house has its unique challanges. It could have been great, relatable and relevant content. Slow but constant Reno content (you know have the better windows even if it will make other stuff take a back seat), DIY, some bigger jobs with Westelm, F&B etc. could have made a monthly video easily (and just think about the affiliate links). Throw in a weekly meal plan/prep and a weekly beauty/fashion segment (empties, what I use atm, week of outfits, good dupes for expensive coats/bags, favourite make up look…). Even a weekly Mark garden segment with lots of DIY, planning, seed starting, planting, harvesting, composting, chickens (?) would have worked. Gardening/Homesteading and batch cooking is a huge topic on YT atm. I don’t think Anna is doing a bad job around her son though. He is even more present in her content than I thought
and I think it’s good we don’t hear much about him. I love pregnancy/baby/family content but I have no problem when people decide to be extremely private about it.
But with all of the above, most of it easily to be pre produced, she could bring out daily Insta and weekly YT content easily without both having to work more than 2 days a week AND still be somewhat connected to her audience.
I liked her content for the longest time and was happily influenced by some of her choices 5 years ago (even though never through affiliate links, with some reading up, it was always clear they are actually pretty sneaky in the long run). We had a very similar, mainstream path through the years (as have many for the big milestones) but what she represents now is so far away from anything that entertains or inspires me- I had to unsubscribe on all channels. Because every time she posted it was just irritating.

I just feel like she has exhausted all her options to be honest, let me explain. Before I felt like her content was a view into a small piece of her everyday life, but what this vlog gave me was essentially that she made soup, folded a few pieces of clothing and received flowers from the sponsor of the video. I get that she wants to be more private, but then...should you vlog your everyday life? Also, all the pre- filming is quite poorly done because there are just such big gaps in terms of continuity. She quite often repeats herself (by this I mean saying the same things many times), and she was not wearing any of the outfits that she has put up on her grid this week...isn't the point that she is wearing the outfits that she showed off? I'm so bored with her that I'm not even capable of being annoyed with her anymore.

As a former horse girl, this is what this kind of leggings always remind me of....

(not that Anna looks like horse obvs)

This might’ve been said before but anyone else?

Excellently put, @Helmi.

Surely it’s also an insult to those young women who are self-employed, and who genuinely take the risk of a period of zero income when they give themselves leave after a baby.

Personally, I’m down for us keeping a running tally of the number of times she posts an affiliate link to Instagram whilst she is on maternity leave. And I’m not one to generally keep track of things like this, but I think she’s lowered the bar of behaviour herself with that comment on the podcast.

Zero income, sure Jan. Banking on the majority of her followers not understanding how affiliate links and AdSense work, more like.

Every day something even more hideous.
