I followed for fashion etc and now it isn’t even fashion!
She has had an awful few years but the constant reference to it is far too full on for me. And if Instagram is an outlet for her then maybe she doesn’t need to mention it quite so much!!
Obviously not working with Matalan anymore so the black boots (the ones she said looked like DM’s) are no where to be seen!!!

Yes where are the Matalan boots she used to go on about? She just moved towards whatever brand is paying her. Encouraging people to keep on buying and ‘needing’ stuff is wrong. There’s no way she can keep all this stuff! Do you think she sells it on?

 

[Libbub]

Totally agree!
If you have seen today’s story - the jacket and jeans-she is trying like Princess Di in the 90’s!!

I know it's all a bit tragic actually. I think she needs a massive makeover. Try some things out of her comfort zone for once. She's trying to source another skirt the same as the one she had 2 years ago..... Move on ffs. See the kids are getting in on the freebies.

 

[Libbub]

Saw this about someone else but as we all know there's loadsa money to be made.....

I thought that about the cut out back - she will flog absolutely anything. No shame whatsoever. She can’t possibly keep all of those clothes either. Can’t stand the try ons either - did you see her story her best friend and her wearing jumpsuits and comparing themselves to ghostbusters? I would have deleted that video. Her poor mate looked ever so uncomfortable.

She'll drag anyone into her stories....... There's no doubt she's had her fair share of problems but so have we all. She's one of lifes repeaters in case you didn't catch it the first 50 times.......

Who actually pays £80 for a pair of leggings?? I’m waiting for the leggings styling video - white blazer and heels??

 

[Saps]

Oh yes!
A biker or a denim jacket solves everything!
Such a shame as when I first started following her she dressed so much better thank she does now-when she wasn’t doing it for cash!!

 

[AdAdAdGiftGiftGiftBoring]

I am so ready to hit the unfollow button - can’t take anymore M&S Matalan et al

 

[Saps]

Oh the long dresses are awful!

I didn’t even realise until I started following her that there were so many long dresses around.

the yoga pants heels and boots are particular low points!!

 

[Libbub]

I've often thought I'm the only one who doesn't own a blazer.

No i don't either. I'm ashamed to say at one point I bought one but took it back after looking in my mirror. Old and frumpy.!

 

[Libertine]

She’s becoming all a bit ad ad ad ad ad - which isn’t surprising as her husband was made redundant and they probably need the money - except she isn’t consistent in labelling advertising clearly as ad ad ad ad ad!!

 

[Basicbasic]

The matalan boots she's dragged out look wrecked. Funny that she only wears the marks expensive ones in real life. Looks like the matalan ones didn't even survive one dog walk. Goes against her mantra of buy good quality and but only what you need.

 

[Fauxfurgilet]

I think the thing that annoys me most is that there's so much emotional blackmail on Insta. Helen does it a lot. The whole 'I've been through so much grief' angle tied in with 'thanks to you guys supporting me I can do this to distract myself'. In the beginning it made me feel really invested in her, thinking by supporting her I was helping her through the grief. But eventually I realised that her job is to make me swipe/buy/ watch/ follow. It's got nothing at all to do with grief, or support, it's got everything to do with cold hard cash.

Totally agree with this, the grief thing is just too much now. I think it’s fine to touch on it but she brings it up so often. Did anyone see her stories this morning about her new bathroom and how it was all going on when her dad got diagnosed with cancer and her mum died? It is sad and this may sound heartless but everyone’s parents pass away in their old age. She’s using it as a selling point and to try and make people relate to her, want to support her etc. I see straight through it, it’s all about the cash.

And Ashani earrings and eyelash serum!

 

[TheBlueDonkey]

If she does another swipe up to that bloody denim jacket…. and she’s referenced that her teenage self looked like Fred West in her recent grid post - that’s in pretty bad taste at the moment?

 

[cantstandinfluencers]

Honestly she must have done about 100 Insta stories on those boots over the last week, there’s been more than 10 per day I’m sure! All that free sneaky advertising whilst her huns are crying “well done, you’ve worked so hard” and they don’t realise their being sold to constantly day in, day out!!

The ASA could come down hard on her for breaching their rules so everyone report her - these are her boots from her company that she profits from. She knows exactly what she is doing.

 

[RadiatorRamble]

I came on to see if anyone else watched that open mouthed. Like what?! What?! Yoga pants heels and what?! Wasn’t sure if I was still drunk.
I do like her but talk about scraping the barrel.

 

[Affiliatedlink]

They both seems to be talking about food more than anything else! What pisses me off though is SB is so expensive for gym gear there’s no way these two would ever actually put their hand in their pocket and buy these outfits themselves and yet they’re promoting it for us to buy!!
Slightly off topic but why does Abi always have black smudged make up around her eyes??

 

[OhhBacon]

You won’t regret it! I don’t even check in every now and again - just not interested at all and clearly judging from this thread nothing has changed with her

Just check in once a month, you’ll still see the tea dresses, ear rings, highlighting make up, jeans, raincoats and the odd family story chucked in.
I can write her social media posts for the next few weeks using the content that’s already there.

 

[VerrucaSalt]

Yes that’s it. Some of the things she chooses are nice. It’s just her styling is very dated.

 

[Basicbasic]

I've never known anyone in real life who shops there. Looks like tat to me. They are not doing a good job of selling it, and Helen never ever wears any of it after she gets the freebies.

 

[Affiliatedlink]

I find Helen far too hyper to watch on stories she irritates the f**k out of me. Abi isn’t as bad but i find her so boring to listen to. I can’t watch their stories all the way through. Both of them never stop with Ads, links, swipe ups..or “oh I’ve just been asked where my earrings are from” etc..no you haven’t!!!
