I still think it’s funny that her friend is living her dream - a wedding in Paris!
I wonder how she feels about this?

 

[BridgetJones]

I see no sense here.
first I agree she had to sand the furniture. I’m surprised her father didn’t tell her.
Second, how often does she use this room anyway? One night per month in summer? Therefore I wouldn’t even care if there is furniture in it or not.

Great spy work hahaha!
But where can I watch that sims house story?

looks like rokas has a type, Right?

 

[Lionsden]

The „I don’t smoke” lady

Wow, she looks rough. No wonder she uses so much filter. Smoking isn't going to help anything. I'm sure she is very happy with Rokas, but the lifestyle she has with him isn't good for her health and looks. Lots of rich food, alcohol, cigarettes.

 

[Lionsden]

She often posts people ordering flowers at her. Do you guys think that’s true?

I don't know. The first ones she delivered were probably gifts for other influencers. Maybe a couple of people from Vilnius who follow her ordered some. I don't see the appeal. There is nothing special about Ieva's bouquets. I would rather choose my own flowers if I was going to spend a lot of money.

 

[boringlette]

Her style is “very me”
She is a complete copy+paste of josefinehj

 

[BridgetJones]

She still uses akmuo for her image (her Insta-bio: I play with flowers and sell vintage) even though she hasn't updated her shop since 2020. I don't think her flower arranging can be seen as a serious business at this point. Yes, she gets some work, mainly because of her popularity and connections in Klaipeda / Vilnius, but it seems like a hobby, and it's impossible to tell how successful the "business" is since Ieva does everything from home (her own or her parents'), meaning there is no clear division between living expenses and expenses concerning the business. Flowers are a luxury and only time will tell how the market develops in regard to energy and gasoline prices, inflation, climate change, and so on. I do think it's remarkable how long she has stuck to it, and I'm interested in how things will develop. Unfortunately her content is super boring. I miss her old vlogs like you guys do. Hopefully we will have more to chat about here in the future.

Good points!
Summer will end soon which means wedding season will end too, which means less customers and projects.

 

[Destina]

Even her engagement video seems to be not an interesting one, so little views

 

[BridgetJones]

Something fun to watch. She used to get so many comments.

oh man, I really miss these personal vlogs.
F**k aesthetic, give me a casual vlog where people have fun and I will enjoy it.

i also really miss her try on vlogs where she went to the Akropolis (?) Center to check out what’s new at Zara, H&M and all those fast fashion shops.

Do you mean pro-Putin? Because of course Leka is pro-russian, but that doesn't mean she supports what the government is doing. Most Russians living in Russia don't either.

Yes, I meant to say „pro-Putin”, that was poorly articulated on my side. I didn’t mean to put everyone into one evil basket. I am well aware most Russians are against the war.
However I haven’t seen anything from Leka that could suggest she was against it, not a single post. I find it very surprising to be honest.

wtf are these facial expressions

If Ieva was a flower she would be a narcissus that’s for sure lol. Umi Floral’s signature bouquet should be a narcissus bouquet, that would be very much on brand.
Queen of eyefucking herself every chance she gets. Baffles me how can she think those selfies are attractive. I think it’s very off putting to see someone so self absorbed, vain, obsessed with the looks.

About engagements, I was just looking at Simona's Instagram and she and her boyfriend were already together for ten years before they got engaged. I think they are still not married one and a half years later. There's really no reason to rush. I guess Ieva couldn't wait and let things develop organically. Maybe she was desperate to be engaged before turning thirty. She's such a weird person. I really hope she is making the right decisions with Rokas. I remember when lots of viewers were seeing red flags with Arif and urging Ieva to protect herself, and Ieva always disregarded all warnings and said, I know who I'm with! Well, she didn't know, and he used and dumped her shamelessly while she was dreaming with eyes closed.

Yeah me too.. I also hope she's/they're doing the right thing because it's really really early to get married .. with a so short engagement and considering also that they met/they know each other for few months. Generally when couples rush this way is because 2 reasons: or the girl is pregnant or is a huge love/passion but since that she's not pregnant (we are sure about this because we saw her drinking alcohol) it means it's a huge love. And I hope that it will last even when the initial passion will be over and things (in bed and out of bed) will calm down replaced by affection and normal/regular love.

 

[Destina]

So she casually says she is only going to have only 2 body slimming procedures but does not disclose this is paid promotion.

 

[boringlette]

No girls you are right she is having waaaay too much of fatty food and alcohol lately hence the weight gain. She’s becoming so shapeless

 

[Alfje]

I wouldn't be surprised if her father told her to sand them before paint them and that she didn't want to follow his advice because she (always) wanted (wants) to do things her own way. Even knowing that she's doing wrong.

Maybe she's not painting them for having a different/more modern room where to spend the summer but maybe who knows maybe.. me just trying to guess.. maybe she has in plan to paint that furniture to bring it in the new Vilnius home and not to paint it to leave it there in her old room. We'll see.

The new video is up since 3 hours and got only 3 comments. ..so few. First time she gets so little comments in such hours of time. I'm afraid that many that were her fans are feeling a bit annoyed now by her boring stuff and began to stop writing to her but we must admit her content is not so exciting these last months I'm sincerely sorry for her. I hope she won't be forgotten soon. She is unnice as much we can say but she's still a human being with the wish since decades to have a yt channel to keep alive but if this we're watching these months is the only content she can put on it she's choosing death for her channel without willing.

I think there may be more comments but she deletes the negative ones. I'm sure some people complain about the many ads.

Ah and p.s.!! I forgot to say that Rokas and Ieva know each other from 2017 , they went to Paris Fashion Week in that year together, as proof u can see pictures there of them on Rokas' Instagram and in the web, googling. People always tell us what they want to tell, they don't say everything. We know what we are told. And very often we don't have to believe everything we're told but we have to be able to think/to image/to believe/And to understand things with our own brain and not only to believe things we are told/that people want us to know. I've known this very early in my life and have learnt to open my mind and my eyes and to reason- to think with my own brain very soon and not to believe everything i was told or shown, because this world needs us to be smart not slow, not naif and not gullible.

In 2017 Ieva went to PFW with her boyfriend, Arif. She met Karolis during the summer of 2019, when she regularly went to Vilnius to shag that ESC guy, Jurijus, and she met Rokas at Karolis' house in 2020. Ieva and Rokas have been together since the fall of 2020. Rokas' mother's name is Audronė. We have talked about all of this here before.

I did a rewatch of some of Ieva’s old videos and omg the memories:

- Her whispering in Zara and H&M.
- Everything and anything described as “luxurious“ or “Chanel inspired”, “Burberry inspired”.
- “teddy beer” - her English improved a lot through the years, though.
- Her cringy little dances in her bedroom.
- “Rosie Huntington-Whiteley inspired”.
- Poor Louis being described as “her cat” vs Billie who was “the family cat”.
- it was painful how obvious it was that she‘d never marry Arif or move to Paris to be with him. I don’t know how she held out a few more years after graduating from college. By the way, I didn’t find her graduation vlog. I don’t know if it’s private or if I‘m blind. I remember Ieva announcing she’d finally move to Paris right after graduation. It’s mind boggling how it took what 3 or 4 years for them to finally break up and move on.
- How much she cared about looking classy and put together. Then suddenly she broke up with her ex and went through a… let’s say very experimental fashion phase.
- Her multiple business ventures - I barely remembered her makeup studio and forgot all about her chokers.
- For some time it looked like she was going somewhere. Like her Panele magazine cover and column, some big sponsorships, she was invited to Paris Fashion Week. But then it seems like she suddenly went downhill fast. You can see her influencer career going down once she broke up with her ex.
- I think a huge part of Ieva’s appeal was her Paris dream. Girl living in her parents‘ attic finishing college so she can finally move to Paris to be with her long distance boyfriend sounds compelling even though Ieva is kind of boring as a person. Her content lost a lot of its appeal once that ended and Ieva never gave it any sort of direction anymore.

Reading ur recap made me remember watching her videos from all those years ago!
I forgot she had that bf in Paris! I quite enjoyed her vlogs and I dunno how I stopped watching her or she stopped uploading to YT.

Im surprised about you invited an Ieva with her 30k Followers all the way from Lithaunia. Sooo sustainable for about you, right? But okay that’s a different topic

So she went to a Starbucks she went 14 years ago and it was pretty emotional for her?
At that time she was 16 so I guess the reason why she was in Berlin had something to do with arif bc they met when she was 16, right?

That is interesting, I wonder if Ieva and Leka went to Berlin as teenagers? Leka's now-husband is German... so maybe they went on a trip there? Or did Leka meet her now-husband at via a university program?

Arif is a creep, It could be a possibility that Ieva and her friend went to Berlin as a girls trip or with Leka's mother and then secretly met him there? Not sure, there could be a hundred reasons and nothing to do with her ex "boyfriend". Unfortunately I was preyed on someone much like him when I was a teenager too but he was/is much worse than Arif. Until you realise your self-worth and know you don't deserve to be treated so disgustingly and you don't even want to be associated or near them at all. Some people are disgusting and foul humans out there. Predators get more brazen but it's interesting that Ieva had to go to Arif and he didn't travel to see her in Lithuania but he must have gone the second time. I can imagine Ieva's family not liking Arif, as most families can sense bad intentions...

I'm glad Ieva and I are both free and have respectful and amazing partners now but I do wish Ieva would embrace her own true personality. Ieva morphs into whoever she dates. I can help but feel Arif stole and wasted so much of her teenage/early 20's years, even if it was only 2 or 3 years or 9 years (how long did they date for?)... it's still time she feels like she needs to make up and discover what she missed out on back then, hence the Peter Pan type of living she's been doing.

I don't blame her in that sense but I do wonder how and why she turned 30 and still has never considered working somewhere with like-minded people, or in a creative field where she can get way more experience than she can be sitting and working in her own apartment. Yes, influencing is a real job now but I struggle to believe that she would be earning a decent wage... I mean, she gets a lot of stuff for free and perhaps she would get a few hundred to maybe a thousand euros a month (at most) but how long will that last? Most people her age have corporate jobs, of which they can also work from home and get paid a decent and steady wage.

It almost seems like Ieva's entire wardrobe is free, fast fashion clothes that brands send her and the same goes for a lot of her food/snacks.

It may sound nice and innocent at first but what will happen if these freebies start to stop? Without being rude, Ieva would be considered a MICRO influencer... there are non-influencers out there that get more engagement and likes than Ieva does. If she doesn't put meaningful effort into her posts or vlogs... people and brand deals will move into someone who they feel more connected to and inspired by.

Look at her likes on her recent posts, how can an influencer with apparently 30,000 followers only get a few hundred likes and one to three comments?! I used to love Ieva's content... I just wish she tried and cared more. I'm not saying anyone's self-worth is based on the number of likes they get but how can she consider herself a full-time influencer when she barely gets any engagement and doesn't really write proper comments back, when it's her job? I've seen people comment polite things to her and she doesn't reply that often... they definitely see the comments. She barely posts vlogs. Barely two videos a month is not a full-time job. I wish her the best.
