I wouldnt be surprised tbh. i remember another influencer (who was/is a teacher) saying she loved her job but her dream was to be an influencer and send "bloggy emails" (or something to that effect anyway) and she is on a career break down whilst working as an influencer so i mean its not surprising but its sad that even with a good education, job, career, being an influencer seems to be the "it job" nowadays. i think a lot of them see the recognition, 'fame', swipe ups, income that comes with it and want that, but at the sacrifice of their privacy (and their kids privacy in some cases).
no shade on anyone who does, each to their own, it wouldnt be for me personally, but i appreciate there are those who do love it.
yeah i think that too, but then ,she wasnt getting sponsorships (hasnt had any in a few years i think) and her youtube income didnt/doesnt seem to be a whole lot so realistically she needed another source of income and something that was stable and pensionable for when she retires when she's older. i mean, youtube wont give her a pension and doesn't seem to be a staple/reliable income so she had to do something. especially if she wants a mortgage and now having to pay for a baby.
i remember her saying in her announcement video that she left her previous job because she was in a high tax bracket, but then years ago said it was affecting her mental health? which was it? i dont believe it about the tax bracket (she worked part time alongside youtube) so i dont see how she could be in the higher tax bracket.
she said how youtube earned her good money, but then after her and jimmy broke up she said she was finished her elizabeth arden eye cream but couldnt afford €100 (or however much it was) to replace it so got another (more affordable) one instead. now if youtube was earning her such good money (as she said) wouldnt she be able to afford €110 for an eye cream? i mean if i was earning as much as she was making herself out to earn i could, even with a house and all the household expenses, and she had none of those as she was living at home.
i think this new job was to impress paddy but also to have extra money to keep up with and afford a social life, holidays, weekends away etc. what she earns from youtube (without sponsorships) was not going to pay for those.
I’m all for keeping your kids offline I don’t think kids should be exposed on SM but this is another level of narcissism, to show them but make of point of not showing only their face and think you’re protecting them...you’re not love
