I was SO SO tempted to ask about the charity donations in that q&aAs if. No one wants to see her come to any harm. We're just slagging off your dirty home, dodgy fillers and brows and your awful clothes that you sell. Smacks of damage control on some of the other stories as she knows that she's directed people here.
Yes. I completely agree with this comment. It all changed once she got pregnant with the twins and then further down the line started O+A. Used to be friendly, I’ve messaged her quite a few times and we’ve had some nice chats. And I agree on the prices. Okay, for handmade rompers maybe I’d splurge £30 here and there. But not the stuff she’s flogging now. That you can easily find on eBay, Amazon, Ali express, SHEIN for a fraction of the price. She said they’re not yet turning a profit. Hence why the change in direction of what the website has now turned into, as seems like she’s actually doing quite well now.I think she unknowingly alienated a lot of her followers because I felt the exact same. When I first found her I was starting our weaning journey, she hadn’t had the twins yet and so o&a wasn’t even a thing. Her page was about weaning, with the occasional bit of personal ranting / raving like any normal mum. She was relatable, funny and incredibly friendly in her DM’s. Now though, her recipes are unoriginal/copied from other influencers, her page is 99% an advert for o&a which would have been to my taste if it weren’t for the extortionate prices. I’m all for supporting small, and I love babies in rompers. So when she announced o&a I thought they’d be perfect. However at over £30 a pop I can’t be dressing a child that needs a new wardrobe every 3-6 months in clothes at that price. It’s ridiculous. Also the babies in joggers comment makes me LOL based on the sole fact that she’s put her baby boys in tights on a regular basis. Leggings are okay up to a certain age, but I think once they are walking they need something looser and more comfortable!!

However I do not agree on your comment about leggingsMy son is 4 and he loooooves to wear leggings
How can she be happy with this business ‘direction’,having apparently graduating a fashion degree as well as a keen interest in it?!Almost identical leggings for £25 cheaper on Amazon
Also I found the site she gets her new stuff from. It’s a website called nova London and it’s a whole salers. She’s really upping the price
Ultimately - I think it comes down to wanting make a quick buck. I think she probably bit off more than she could chew and invested heavily at a time when she clearly wasn’t mentally well and it has spiralled from there. The portrayal we’re getting is that they’re in survival mode and desperately trying to make this a viable business because they have no other choice. I’ve said it before but it’s very sad to watch. They may be selling a lot of items right now but with no direction, what’s next? It’s now no longer empowerment products and switched to garments which are supposed to be a one size fits all approach to making women feel good about themselves rather than acknowledging diversity.How can she be happy with this business ‘direction’,having apparently graduating a fashion degree as well as a keen interest in it?!
She also said not long ago that on a women business WhatsApp group she’s part of, ‘lots of women are saying they’re turning away from childrenswear’. I think if you don’t have a concept, a really strong business ethos and idea and commitment behind you then yeah you would turn away from it as it’s not going to be profitable otherwise. Some of the businesses I follow selling childrenswear are thriving - look at mutha hood, love bee baby, didi and bud, the little worne store, being just a handful that I follow. It took time to get to where they are but they persevered, have obviously produced good quality products, often hand made that people love. Natalie clearly wanted instant rewards for her new business which doesn’t happen over night or even in a year.
It’s true though!She certainly seems to favour one of those twins - the more cute one. Yes I said it, she favours the cuter one.
Is it now a hate crime to discuss leggings?Has anyone seen her stories. Getting the police involved apparently. Did anyone see the post her 'bestie' apparently wrote.
