. This unborn baby announcement was put out at the optimum time Sunday Evening so they are infact working already to gain Mammy and Daddy followers.This is exactly why I said I like Littlewoodlife’s account - transparency. What you see is what you get. That is not very common at all, but it’s what I’m looking for in people that I followWell i’ve always been a big advocate of transparency so I suppose it would be a bit hypocritical of me to lurk under a false name. Better to just hear these things from the horse’s mouth, eh?Thank you for clarifying anyway. I appreciate that!
No offence taken at all. It’s genuinely interesting to read different opinions. And you have hit the nail on the head. Whilst I loved it at the beginning, it’s becoming a very saturated market now and gradually losing authenticity. I do believe there are genuine people with great talents in writing and photography who are doing genuine things, but sadly it’s overshadowed by the money generating business it has become. I’m not knocking making a living from it at all (that would be hugely hypocritical) but I can totally appreciate that the constant barrage of ads and unattainable lifestyles are exhausting to view. And with a daughter in her early teenage years, and two more children following, I feel a real responsibility to make my online footprint a positive one. Otherwise what will their generation be faced with?
Anyhow, it’s food for thought!
Exactly, it’s cheaper. Plus she only posts angles that make it look like a big massive house with lots of land, in the middle of the country side. It is not any of these things. The fields around are not hers, there is a main road to the side of it and a large car dealership not too far in front. Plus her back yard is small, with a larger house (it’s a storey higher) right at her back fence looking over her garden and into the back of her house. She only ever shows certain angles of her garden and never the back. Always holds her phone low and moves quickly. Her photography angles make all her rooms look bigger than they are. It’s disgusting that some influencers portray things incorrectly - no wonder people feel that what they have is not good enough. I like family pictures on Instagram but showing your kids in the bath to advertise Johnstons, and broadcasting everything they say and do, is too far in my opinion. She needed the new house and new baby to keep getting ads and making money. But I think it will all come to a head for these kind of influencers as more and more people find them unrelatable.
It’s not a teeny house no, I never said it was, my point is it is not what it is made out to be, and is not shown in it’s true light for example The garden that belongs to the house is not the fields shown in stories that it is portrayed, and only certain angles are shown. The photography inside is carefully angled too. Same as the old house, the bathroom looked massive and was actually teeny, as a friend viewed her old house when it was for sale, but people would have been looking at the gifted Roll top bath and feel their bathrooms aren’t good enough
This. I admired her work hard working mum ethic now it’s all a crock of tit!
I used to really enjoy Anna's account she was one of my favourites, found her very relatable especially being a working mam while blogging on the side, she was v real and thats what i liked about her, when she gave up the day job i thought oh dear she's going to turn into full blown Insta mam with ads and sponsorships, but decided to give her a chance and see what she would be like however sadly that's what she is now I ended upscrolling past her storiesand her feed as found it too curated and the girls used too much to sell things. I unfollowed shortly after she announced pregnancy no 3 as I could foresee ad after ad after gift. Such a shame as she had a lovely account and I do understand her wanting to give up the day job, but in the end at what price?Yeah engagement makes sure that all those accounts then see your ad - all part of the Instagram algorithms that they all know about!
