@Seven of Nine covered it I think, but here's mine!
At the start of the year Maddie and Alex moved into their new Georgian home. This was announced in a classic smug 'We've been keeping a secret...' Youtube video. Maddie disclosed that they had previously only been considering houses with two living rooms and it's been downhill from there really. The new home can never just be called a house and must always be referred to as a Georgian Home or Period Home or Georgian Farmhouse or some other wanky title. The gorgeous Wisteria also gets mentioned constantly.
They insisted that they love their new house and it's perfect, they then proceeded to make lots of big changes, like installing a new kitchen. Even though they managed with their cornish cottage kitchen for years, Maddie apparently needs a brand new huge kitchen for her job. They have a fridge and freezer big enough for a family of four (to fit inside) and have installed some huge cupboards that make the room feel nice and closed in. Oh and they have an Aga, which are known for being environmentally friendly.
Content wise, there has been a lack of food videos or any other non sponsored sit down video, and instead we've been treated to weekly vlog videos which mainly focus on Maddie repeating herself whinging about the beams in the kitchen while wandering around in huge tent dresses. These videos are part renovation update, part weekly vlog, often include a haul/ sponsored content and the branding of them is generally a mess. All videos now start with a 'highlight reel' which often includes someone laughing at a dog or Maddie telling us how great a brand is. She also uploads plenty of ADs, usually to Instagram. Youtube videos now heavily feature plinky plonky piano music and mimic 'slow living' style videos, even though they're not. There are three of them working on this content from their office in the garden of their Georgian Period Home.
Sustainability has gone out of the window since moving house and Maddie has recently purchased a new Apple Mac, replaced all their bedroom furniture, bought brand new furniture for their spare room, a new kitchen, a hot tub, plenty of new clothing and loads of plastic netting for their back garden which will be extra enjoyable for the local wildlife. They have also discussed getting a second car.
Maddie posted about there being some big scary changes, as far as we can deduce this was in relation to her leaving her management company. Speaking of work, 18 months into the pandemic Maddie gave us all the top advice to try setting up a separate workspace if we're struggling to focus at home. She also gave us a helpful video of her decluttering her tea cupboard, which was very insightful.
The house has had lots of problems which was the perfect opportunity for Maddie to publicly complain about every tradesman she's working with. She then wonders why no one wants to prioritise working with her. There was also a video on Instagram addressing 'haters' which seems to be directed here, but plenty of other comments have picked up on her lifestyle changes and apparent change of ethics.
Perhaps the only thing that has stayed the same is Maddie's constant flicking her hair around, touching her hair and refusal to tie up her hair when making food. Side note, if anyone finds a strand in their food it's likely to taste of whichever shampoo brand is sponsoring her that week.
They are now planning their wedding and Maddie has already been to see one venue without the groom, which is perfectly normal and fine. Everyone can't wait to see how sustainable the wedding is.
TLDR: Sustainability? We don't know her.
ETA I forgot to mention the sunglasses collaboration
