Anyone noticed this lady is no longer peddling all the tat from Matalan and JD Williams? Clearly her contracts with them have ended!

Thank GOD

And despite everything going on in the world she’s still flogging kimono gowns, jewellery, maxi dresses. She’s even using her kids in an AD. She really is relentless and hungry for money with all those swipe ups.

Last week M&S jeans were super soft, perfect fit with lots of wear...now it’s M&co that are super soft, perfect fit. I don’t believe a word she says, it’s one huge sales pitch.

If she said, I know I recommenced M&S last but if you want something that have a tighter fit these would be better. Some information that acknowledges what she is flogging and compares it.

Also that star print shorg has the lighter line because the fabric was printed badly.

 

[Cerase]

Yeah she's given up any pretence of actual content and instead, the same links are shared daily.

It's greed that does it. Shame really.

 

[Basicbasic]

You forgot the nivea cream and tinted moisturiser, all shrieked out ad infinitum !

So Helen has been storying about getting fit since Dec. She's been buying active wear and has constantly storied about sweaty betty. She's also been sharing followers posts singing the praises of sweaty betty. And today she stories that SB contacted her in November! It just feels so disingenuous, like it was all planned. If they contacted her in November she should have been straight from then. It's all sell sell sell without any thought for the exploitation going on. And my goodness what she did to those brand new marks jeans! What a mess and anxious waste of money.

I followed this woman for all of 3 days and had to unfollow. I’ve never known someone to repeatedly share the same shite EVERY SINGLE DAY. Wtf even is that back massager thing? Just why?? Her style is absolutely dreadful too.

 

[Basicbasic]

It's the same swipe ups at least 10 times a day! Which followers could possibly have not seen them yet?! This is the awful thing about influencers they try and make out they're looking after us, and we're all friends, and she's doing us a huge favour by showing us what we need to buy. But really it's complete exploitation and manipulation. They must be reading tattle because they've both started singing the praises of the retreat.

 

[Basicbasic]

Spot on. The bandy legged poses by women in their 40s, trying to wear backless top shop dresses (made for teenagers), and bikers in 6 shades is just so non relatable. Good article.

 

[VerrucaSalt]

I’m more bothered about where to get some paracetamol and eggs from.

 

[Fauxfurgilet]

I have stopped following.
She isn’t fashionable so there is no point following her.
The long floaty skirts etc are not cool.

I agree with this, she doesn’t even have good style. She honestly looks like a bag lady sometimes with the things she puts together and it’s all terrible quality.

Blazers seem to be a bit of armour to some of them. Its always "as long as you wear a blazer people will magically think you've got your shit together ".

Which is possibly true? If I met a mum at the school gates in a blazer, I'd definitely think it, I admit that.

Still wouldn't make me buy one though. I'd rather be cosy, even if I look slovenly by comparison. Blazers always look a) freezing and b) uncomfortable around the shoulders.

Which reminds me - is it just me or does Helen simply not feel the cold??? Its camis and blazers 10 months out of the year. Or thin dresses and blazers. I always think she looks absolutely perished. Maybe she just always has the heating on???!!

 

[cantstandinfluencers]

She must be raking it in with all these swipe ups (some are Amazon! ) and ads. Just what the planet needs, people to buy more stuff that they probably don’t need, but are influenced by these online conwomen who fake it to make money. Let’s face it - she could buy something, review and share for free. She doesn’t. Instead constantly ordering, receiving new clothes, jewellery, beauty products etc. Some of which gets returned after she’s tried it on and added a swipe up link! Wonder how much gets flogged on EBay too? Encouraging excessive consumerism is not good - you only have to read Attenborough’s book to realise this and all the tv documentaries.

 

[Saps]

Really tragic.
She use to be much more fashionable before the affiliate links etc

 

[DrTemperanceBrennan]

I liked her way back but unfollowed a.good while ago as her stories were constantly selling tat and everything had a link...everything! 25 stories on average all with an af link. The relatable Helen became predictable and boring!

 

[Boutros Boutros-Ghali]

She’s very clever, always saying ‘oh I don’t keep any of this, I only order and do try-ons to help you guys out’ As if it’s to help anyone out, it’s to help her line her own pockets

 

[Mauramoo]

Wow, that's mean and unnecessary

I always think they seem like really sweet girls!

 

[Basicbasic]

I once emailed her an article about fast fashion and how returns of clothing end up in landfill. It was back when I loved her account. She blocked me. Haha. So glad the Acardia gifting train has come to an abrupt end. Poor Helen, she'll just tasbee you push m&co and jd Williams even more.

 

[Fauxfurgilet]

Nothing will change for these accounts. Like Helen said yesterday 'I'm continue doing this because I did it when my dad died and we all need shit, right??!'. No Helen, no we don't need shit. We need essentials, we need to look out for others and we need to pray we keep our jobs and homes. She's is completely tone deaf.

Exactly!! Who has any interest in buying the latest new in dress from Topshop or any of the other tat she is peddling at the moment? Certainly not me! The most irritating thing is they are trying to make us think they’re doing us a favour to take our mind off things as opposed to lining their own pockets. And although the death of a parent is an awful time for anyone she can hardly compare it to a global crisis of this scale, it’s just not the same.

Helen tries to portray this image of ‘trust me, I’m just a nice normal mum’, but with all the swipe ups, gifts, ads, photo shoots, try ons etc etc she is a SALESWOMAN and she only does what she does to make money - that is what she is in it for. I haven’t followed any posts or stories, mainly because she gives me a headache, I can’t keep up with her endless drivel and I simply can’t stand seeing the endless dots when she posts her stories. She’s like a carousel. You’ll see the same trousers, tops shown at least 20 plus times. They go round and round on repeat! Watching her is like Groundhog Day on repeat
