Hi, new member here and another long time lurker.
I actually knew Anna years ago and so have refrained from posting before but I guess the gifted Killyhevlin stay was the thing that finally prompted me to comment.
I just cannot get over it to be honest.
Life for Anna in lockdown is simply the same as life before lockdown. She really doesn't seem to do much other than 'stage' pictures of her home, her children and herself, so I'm unsure of why this hotel group would choose her as a 'worthy' recipient of a gifted stay.
As others have said, any frontline or essential worker - from nurses, porters, retail staff, postal staff, delivery staff and the countless others who have still got up every day and worked long, difficult hours - surely any of these people would be much more worthy candidates.
Or someone who has lost a family member, or who has been made redundant.
Of all the options, the Killyhevlin chose an already privileged 'instagrammer' who benefits from free clothes, appliances, furniture etc every single day. Surely the most troublesome thing for Anna during lockdown has been getting up to open the door to accept the latest gifted delivery.
I think it's massively poor judgement on behalf of the Killyhevlin, and a bad marketing decision in light of everything that is going on.
Had they chosen any of the above mentioned, I think it would have been more of an incentive for others to choose to spend their hard earned money there (which they have worked for during the pandemic - Anna has not).
It is also poor judgement on Anna's part. As others have said, she could have opened this up for a follower to enjoy.
Two 'staycations' coming up and many, many people are struggling to pay their bills. I just think it would be more astute in a business sense (as she is promoting herself as a business woman) to judge the mood of the general public and to promote herself and 'gift' her stay to someone else.
It would go a small way in being slightly redeeming in regards her rather 'grabby' behaviour - and that of her husband - who pops up every so often when there's a bit of extra profit to be made in promoting a mundane 'ad' Anna has already flogged. Why not make double digits eh?
What really, really bothered me was the sad news that DIGG Childrenswear is closing down. If you remember, this is the company that provided Anna with countless 'stories' at the beginning of the year as she flew about, once again spending money that wasn't hers, promoting herself off the back of DIGG'S fundraising/charity initiative.
Not even a mention of the business closing - perhaps she did though and I missed it (I apologise if she did) - but I thought this was so insensitive.
Here was a woman (DIGG) who invested time, money and effort to create an ACTUAL business and has suffered because of the pandemic.
Not a pretend business like Anna's social media consultancy.
Again, as others have said, her spelling, grammar and sentence construction is atrocious, and this applies to basic words.
Why would you pay for a 'service' like this?
It is shocking and unbelievable that she is passing herself off as an expert in this field.
There are so many things I could go on about - the breast feeding - wanting to savour all the 'special moments' that should be private but whipping out the camera at 2am for another boob shot; the hens/chicken saga (really?); the garden 'makeover'; the whole 'winging it' (no you are most definitely not).
The fact she has no interiors style whatsoever - her home is without a doubt beautiful, but it could be ANY house on instagram.
Panelling -
Herringbone flooring -
Oversized plants -
Grey kitchen with a little cheeky F&B Railings island for a 'unique' contrast -
The oh so fashionable 'boot room' -
The 'so out there' pink sink cabinet -
The jewel coloured fabric furniture which are already on the list to be replaced /reupholstered -
I could go on and on, the list is endless.
Again, her home is beautiful but it is a straight look-a-like home, everyone elses 'insta' ideas all curated in the one place.
I do apologise for the long, long rant but I literally cannot get over her behaviour.
