Is it just me or is it very backwards, applying for something as Mr and Mrs Mark Newton? Is Anna not her own person anymore?

They were talking baby names on the podcast and Anna said she liked the name Norman. Norman Newton. I kid you not. Thankfully Mark vetoed that one. When Lily and Rich were talking baby names, Rich vetoed the name 'Panda.' Seriously. Lily also liked the name Bear. It just goes to show that while 'Grey' is a terrible name for that cute little girl, it could have been worse.

Grandad Mark's 'Top of the Box' is Gardeners' World. Surprise! He also has a subscription to Gardeners' World magazine. Of course he does.

Anna's giggling is off the charts on the podcast. She really needs to cut it out! She refers to Mark as her 'baby daddy,' and says they are currently in a 'baby love bubble.' That's when I had to switch off!
Lost count of how many times I cringed over this episode. I did think Rich's new parent advice was quite sweet, although it was interesting that Mark assumed the baby would be born with a fully-fledged personality.. delusional, plus not with you two as parents, pal!

I don't know who approved this but what the fuck does this even mean and why do I have to know what she does under the shower? Plus am I the only one who vividly remembers how she used to rave about the Braun IPL laser and how "life-changing" it was? "Life long shaver" my ass, Anna. :geek:
"The once a week - from head to toe baby! Quite literally."

:rolleyes: Are any of us surprised at this point that Anna doesn't know what the word "literally" means? To literally shave from head to toe means that you are truly shaving your head (and everything else).

I follow an influencer who only has about 30K followers on Instagram. She did a Black Friday round up newsletter and told everyone she was going to donate 50% of the money she made to a charity. This weekend she thanked everyone who purchased something through it because they had help raise £6,000 for charity. So that's £12K in total earnings for what is essentially a list of shop names and discount details that would have been emailed to her weeks ago via press releases. A list that encourages people to buy shit they don't need, further lining the pockets of H&M Group, Amazon and the rest.

So 10 X the number of followers = probably no help from Bank of mum and dad.

I have unfollowed every single influencer type because I'm really over the whole thing in general but a very strong reason is how utterly miserable most of them appear. There's so much whining and moaning from these privileged twats who act like they're really hard done by. As if they're overworked, underpaid and underappreciated.

I wonder if Anna will be invited for a though conversation with her management soon. Her current approach isn’t even really working with her fans anymore. And I wonder if she/they regret having Mark join her business. How do you tell your partner he is doing a really bad job? How can you fire him? Maybe he regrets it too? How to tell your partner her approach/content is utterly boring and stale? Negotiate a pay raise? Are that blaming each other? Openly or secretly? I don’t think life is too rosy and pleasant at the mouldy mansion at the moment.
I’m wondering this too. I used to prefer Anna’s content over Lily but since she’s had Ralph well frankly, it’s a mess.
She led everyone to believe she’s super organised etc but now regularly forgets to post, always having at least 3 days off a week. The signing out Friday morning really pisses me off. I mean do that if you want but it’s not relatable to your audience at all!
Also having Mark involved is a massive mistake. If she hired a proper assistant Anna could have shot and created content 2/3 days a week and her assistant would take care of uploading on the other days. This would ensure she is more visible and present which surely matters in the influencer game.
Clearly Anna and Mark want to be off at the same time and not work so there are big gaping holes. Either take a damn year off or hire a proper assistant to who can run things at least 5 out of 7 days. Right now it just feels like she’s rubbing it in peoples faces that she can get away with working so little.

I can’t quite workout what the difference is between ‘archiving’ clothes and just … y’know … having them in the wardrobe and not wearing them for a while?

This is really getting ridiculous.
I am unmarried, should I get offended everytime an influencer mentiones their husband or posts a picture of them? Of their anniversary? Of the two of them with their children? Because she's supposed the show solidarity with all her single followers and not flaunt her marriage at us? Does it trigger me sometimes? Yes, it does. Would I ever in a million years hold it against someone for being married and mention it on SM? Fuck no.
Ridiculous.
I agree and am in the same boat as you. What is this solidarity crap about? I can't stand Anna and think that she is as phony as they come, but why should she have to hide her figure under a sack just because other new mothers might not have lost as much weight? Ridiculous.

She looks like she’s in her late 40s… Her hair, her outfit, everything about her screams “I’ve given up”
Excuse me. None of my late 40s/early 50s friends have given up. We all look better dressed than many 20/30 somethings. We've now got the money and experience to dress very well.

Todays video is just too much… the title says „girls night out“… and there is not even a close up of a drink 🍹 or anything shown of that ohh-so-fantastic night out … just 12 minutes of painting her round face in the same old make up as in every video before.. and in the end telling the viewer she had a fun night out. She doesn‘t seem to understand the concept of showing actual video footage… otherwise the whole YouTube channel doesn‘t make any sense.. arrrggh.

Why release a yearly planner/diary in January?! I get a diary every year but always get it early to mid December so I can transfer things across and start putting stuff in for January. That might just be me, but surely it makes more sense to release it in December (plus people might buy it as a present!)

I have no idea what Appointed’s delivery is like but I think they’re US based, so delivery to the UK viewers could also take a while! So unless you buy it the day it comes out, you might not be getting a diary until end of Jan?!

The clothes are dull and ill fitting as ever but I get the vibe she is going for and the thing I don’t get about this vibe is it’s so far away from the goofy nerd she is in videos. It’s like catfishing for people who are into mid level boring fashion brands for wannabe hipsters.
It’s very contrived. She’s a homebody with a weirdo for a husband and kid who brings home the plague every day from daycare, not some gallery-hopping cool girl with client meetings and an artsy boyfriend.

One small breeze while wearing that green dress and her nips won’t be the only thing on show 😳
