"Breathed the whole way home" as opposed to what? Not breathing?

Long time lurker, first time poster. Just had a look at the reviews for Ella's new book on the Waterstones website - I was her I'd be terribly disappointed. Only two reviews, both with one star!
I don't understand why she makes posts like this. She talks about feeling so stressed and overworked all the time, despite being the face of a wellness and lifestyle brand. Just makes you think - is she too busy to actually live the lifestyle she promotes and sells on her app, or is she actually following it and it's not working for her? Either way, it's not the best way of marketing her brand.View attachment 1645405
Honestly this whole āchange your mindsetā stories spam is getting f****** annoying. Thereās a difference between appreciating what you have and trying to convince yourself that youāre happy. Oh, and bragging about breathing throughout the whole flight? Someone get Ella an award, cause I didnāt realise breathing was such a straining activity. I used to love her and find her inspiring, now sheās just an annoying upper class person telling poor people (for example me, dont mean to offend anyone) to just look on the bright side because garlicky mushrooms and moving your body or staying with the āgirliesā is such abliss
Honestly
As a side note, if I was in her position and experienced panic attacks during flights, I would be booking a therapy appointment asap and perhaps started doing CBT to ease the panic attacks next time. If it's really an issue that's been bothering her for a long time and she has the money for therapy, then I don't understand how she's trying to ignore the problem and just trying to breathe through it. It's almost as if she wants to feel like this, just so that she can dump her feelings on her followers online. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is just a thought I had.

Short answer is YES.
Long answer is ARE YOU EFFING BLIND ? and define Your meaning of fancy. Because THIS ain't...
No wonder she is anxious. Attacked everyday by every possible ugly pattern, I feel already anxious.

Yes If sheās struggling she should deal with it properly but I donāt believe her. Since she started the blog sheās gone on LOADS of long haul destinations, not to mention she grew up going to Mustique on holiday. Only thought to mention the panic of it now, no I donāt buy it.

Oh dear, those reviews look awful. A whole chapter of vegetables on toast
Seems like hiring a bunch of recipe ghost writers hasnāt worked - food still looks bland af.
I actually quite like this patternā¦ itās subtle, unlike the one in their house that gave me vertigo

I think she mentioned that she has been feeling anxious about flying since the last trip because of the turbulence. Not sure if she was scared of flying beforeā¦
Also canāt spell weirdā¦
So the big project, the big reveal is....
Food items / ready meals and snacks...but under the Plants name ? Not sure how Soups and yoghurt is such a big project when they already have a range of granola, cereal bars etc? Unless I'm missing something !

Yeah, it doesn't seem all that different to what they already have. They might have just added soups and yogurts to their existing range. I'm guessing they got a nice payoff from Waitrose for the partership (since they are all about Ā£Ā£Ā£ these days) and this is why the 'sister brand' was invented?
The āplantsā announcement seems like a venture thatās going to fail. Theyāre entering a crowded, overly saturated market, so have had to resort to waitrose - the UKās most expensive supermarket chain - to be their partner. What makes their coconut yogurt so special to buy it over the 50 other cheaper brands on the shelf with familiar names like āMullerā or āYeo Valleyā? Or soup brands like Heinz and Covent Garden? I imagine most people will be switching away from Waitrose in the next year anyway for cheaper shops like Lidl and Aldi during the cost of living crisisā¦
I also wonder how environmentally friendly all these one-portion products are and the packaging in general.
And then I think that it kind of "downgrades" the restaurant - it is so expensive and the food is meant to be exquisite, how can it relate to convenience food?

I enjoy that there is minimal stock on the shelves. Like I know this is probably just a set up to show off the new venture, but I still like that the shelves were pretty much empty bar a couple of pots
The one appeal I can see is that itās more locally produced and itās not a big brand. Some of the mainstream brands are owned by companies like nestle and the like who are by far worse and a lot less ethical than DE even with CEO Matthewās narrow minded strictly profit oriented business model.
the other thing isā¦the majority of people who shop in Waitrose now will continue to shop there. People cut down on other costs before they switch supermarket chains entirely. Also between Waitrose and Lidl you have Sainsbury and Tesco and Iām pretty sure they will expand to sell their products in other supermarkets too. They always start with Waitrose and Whole Foods.

This is what the world needed guyz!! Access to garlicky creamy mush and yogurt...my life is complete 
Exactly, I very occasionally buy things in waitress as it is my nearest big shop and has good sale/discounts at closing but would never regularly shop there. But even people I know who used to do their weekly shop there ate moving to cheaper places because of the cost of living crisis. It is just madness
Maybe itās just me, but I donāt think suddenly everyone will stop shopping at Waitrose, especially people who have paid off their mortgages (which is a surprising amount of people, although sadly not me ).
Me and my husband shop at Waitrose because itās a partnership so any money that would usually be a dividend to faceless shareholders is given as a bonus to the staff instead.
We havenāt turned our heating on this year, reduced lots of other things in our lives (washing up rather than dishwasher, walking and cycling more, being really careful with what we buy etc etc etc). For us though, supermarkets will be one of the last things we do
I think most people are happier to shop around these days and there is definitely less loyalty to brands and supermarkets, but I donāt think Waitrose is suddenly going to go bust because everyone will stop shopping there.
Itās weird because some people sort of go the opposite, they canāt afford to eat out anymore, but they can afford to shop at ānicerā shops like M&S or Waitrose and they deem that as their treat of the week. It was a big thing with the M&S Meal Deal because it was a way of people spending less than a meal out, but still feeling like theyāre having ānicerā food. I guess it just comes down to individual preference
Regardless, I doubt Iāll be buying any Plants branded soup any time soon!

Finding it a bit of a shame that a brand named after Ella that she created is slowly changing to remove her, Deliciously Ella, changing over to Plants by DE, soon to just be Plants, and Matthew will have successfully erased all trace of anyone elseās success
I think she is looking to sell the brand I assume? to @stardust21 as I have alraedy posted a lot of people actually are stopping their weekly shop at waitrose, I have seen the same in my parents and their friends, people will continue to buy some things there but (unless you are insaely rich and don't need to think at all about money) the people that continue to buy some things there will be buying the same brands as before and mving to cheaper places for pther things , not looking for another brand of coconut yogurt in waitrose (imo anyway)
