My dear elegant ladies, sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes - English isn't my first language and unlikely Aija, I won't pretend I am good at it.
I'm exactly the type of woman Aija is targeting: from a third world country, poor background, parentless and/or rough upbringing and experiencing a little of success in life (e.g able to pay for her course) and let me tell you: she isn't fooling us either.
I came across her videos on Youtube years ago. At first glance I found her content interesting, she seemed authentic, and I really needed advice navigating the "wealthy" new world I was getting into. Very soon her content stopped resonating with me as it clearly lacked substance and real life experience.
By the same time I found her YT videos, I joined her free FB group, and unlikely many ladies here, I did find it useful. Way more useful than all the content she ever did. Mind you: being from a very poor family in South America, I didn't learn etiquette or matters from the people that brought me up. All those silly "is it elegant?" questions were truly helpful to me bc I was honestly clueless, and this I give to Aija. She brought up a community that taught me all the very basic I wasn't able to learn at home. I am just stating this because I've seen many of you mocking it. I get it, it might seem absurd to someone that grew up living that life to see such ridiculous questions, but let me tell ya, the struggle is real lol
Despite that, we are not stupid. I am not from the ocean-front beach house type of family, and even I never fell for her marketing campaign, and I am sure the typical South American girl wouldn't either. We might be poor and clueless about manners and etiquette, but it is very hard to fool and get money out of us, specially bc money is so scarce here that we all learn to think a thousand times before giving it so some clown that promises too much and show no proof of what she is selling.
Since that fake as hell backdrop after the moving to Geneva I was sure she was full of sh*t. Who the f**k flaunts about a rich boyfriend, then moves in with him (after telling all her students to secure that ring and to never give in to a man before securing the fuck*ng ring) and can't even afford to have a room nice enough to film in it without having to use a fake backdrop?
After that came the hotel furniture background, that although I had no clue it was 4s, I could swear it wasn't her place. All this time, no IG stories besides a few restaurants and hotels + trekking in neon outfits and huggin trees. That privacy BS is the worst lie an influencer can tell. If you want privacy, you wouldn't be a (bad) influencer in the first place, and would live a reserved life.
That all being said, in the very beginning she made me question my relationship in a disgusting way, and I am ashamed of it. My fiancée is a hardworking, loving and hot "average Joe". He came from a sh*t hole as bad as I did, and through a lot of hustle we are middle/upper middle class ATM. We socially climbed through our company, and I am happy I didn't listen to Aija and broke up with him - which was one of her main advices in the beginning. He is able to provide me and our family with way more than her "fiancé" ever will - comfortable life and real love, for what that matters.
I am also glad I found this forum. I read many unnecessary and hurtful words about us, the "third country gals" and people that have no family to relate to on Christmas, but also a lot of hard truth that opened my eyes about reality outside my bubble. Keep spilling the tea ladies
