Agreed, absolutely nothing against waitressing, or anything else as a means to get by. But when you add Elle to the equation it becomes beautiful comedy and that's 100% on Elle.
I feel like she's in Seattle because Seattle, unlike most cities, has a favorable dating ratio for women, and she probably wants to find a tech guy. It's somewhat close to Vancouver so she can go if she needs to, and she can also maintain her PNW "brand" for YouTube.
Her first youtube bf Chris was a tech guy and the most successful out of all her exes, so maybe she wants to find that again? He was also the one that upgraded her from Walmart hauls to Nordstrom so she's probably hoping for a Seattle techie to upgrade her from sad, single Eleanor to his stay-at-home, dry-bar going, wife.
I hope for our sake that she finds someone better looking than Chris 1.0. I can't decide who was more nauseating to look at, him or Rickets. Joe was much easier on the eyes.
Joe was a cutie. There was something oddly endearing about him. Plus I loved the way he not only stuck that knife in but gave it a little turny-turn with the way he left her. Hope he's happier now.
Poor Smelley's swamp adventures and current predicament are definitely collateral damage from that breakup...she really should've locked Joe down. I actually enjoyed most of the videos from that era other than her constant smirk in everything, and vlogmas was quite fun as well. How the mighty have fallen.
I, for one, await the big announcement of the Nouvelle Pearl Belly Ring line with equal amounts of delight and terror.Poor Smelley's swamp adventures and current predicament are definitely collateral damage from that breakup...she really should've locked Joe down.

Assuming Emilie is the way she seems, I wouldn't be surprised at a #Joengagement by vlogmas. Eleanor's gonna freak out and I predict we'll start seeing a combo of low cut tube tops + short skirts and a belly ring in her new "5 outfits for WFH" series.
Agreed. Isn't it the waitresses who always get the guy in the Hallmark movies anyway?
I watched this a while back, and here she mentions that he's the one who wanted to go to the outlets. So if nothing else, he's maybe the one of her boyfriends who was the least likely to try to curb her shopping:Her first youtube bf Chris was a tech guy and the most successful out of all her exes, so maybe she wants to find that again?

While I know women can like handbags/fashion and take their work seriously, sadly there are still a lot of people who don't necessarily think that way. It's not fair that people are judged by their appearance, but it's a reality, and I'd rather be remembered or noticed because of the quality of my work than the logo on my accessories. I'd be interested to know how it is in more creative fields, if maybe the opposite is true, and there's an actual benefit from having a distinct style.
Meanwhile Elle, in her prime, hired peasants to wash her hair for her . . .
Rickets is just horrifyingly weird but Chris was really snotty and a real piece of work. He was also quite mean to Elle during the little glimpses we've caught of him in her vlogs (he refused to be on camera so we'd only hear his voice or caught glimpses of his face but he would do things like shove her arm away, or talk to her like she's a total moron). He also seemed to have a really high opinion of himself, constantly wore stupid scarves (is he the inspo for Nouvelle Apparel?), so I'm not surprised he didn't mind her spending (hell, he probably made rude comments to her about where she shopped, hence the complete upgrade in her lifestyle and spending after they went out for a while).
Not to defend Chris or anything but she was pretty good at acting like a total moron in her vids in his era.
...there's a lid for every pot. I guess it worked for the two of them...until he kicked her out within half a year, and after she spent money redecorating his place.
Well, he realized he was about to come into more money, and that was going to buy him younger and hotter than Elle....there's a lid for every pot. I guess it worked for the two of them...until he kicked her out within half a year, and after she spent money redecorating his place.
I thought she wasn't acting. She just IS a moron
I feel like it depends on your quality of work. If you work hard and kick ass at your job, wearing luxury becomes part of your kicking ass personality. But if you are sloppy and lazy at work, wearing luxury is a different statement : I don't need this job, I'm rolling in cash and this is just a pasttime!
TBH Joe is the only 'normal' guy Elle has ever dated. If any of my friends were to date a guy like Rick or Chris, I'll risk the friendship and ask them to run run run.I thought she wasn't acting. She just IS a moron
But that Chris guy was a huge as*hole in his own right. If someone talked to me the way he spoke to Smelle, I'd have been out the door in no time. I detest disrespectful people.
Dicky was a grade A creep and Chris had an overinflated ego with an awful personality. Both have them have definitely left a permanent mark on Eleanor. If she had met Joe before Chris, I think they could very well be married by now and she wouldn’t have turned into the crazy shopaholic that she is.
