I think she sells quite a few of the mugs but she recently said she was thinking that this would be the last restock but then they all sold out super quickly so she was thinking about doing more. If she stopped doing them that would be a big chunk out of her income so I doubt she will.

Came here to say the exact same thing.
But I’m glad you’re having a read Emma, there’s some great suggestions for you

 

[Lola123]

it’s also creating negative connotations around those things? Having a lie in isn’t a bad thing, if your body needs it then your body needs it... she has a lot of skewed thoughts about what is “healthy and productive” like two workouts in her morning routine????

Your body needs time to renew the cells, it does that when you’re asleep, I barely sleep in the week because of my job, so at the weekend even if I can’t sleep I will be in bed! Honestly she wouldn’t survive outside being an influencer

The outfit video was so lazy...

I watched it with my other half in the room and with out being prompted he was like "wtf was that how boring"

I will say as someone who has had to isolate with no pre-warning (and no food at home as I hadn’t done my food shop) trying to get a food delivery slot at the moment really takes the piss. I don’t see anything wrong with having your food delivered in normal circumstances but as someone who never does, trying to get a single delivery slot sooner than 5 weeks away was ridiculous

that is a fair point! at the start of lockdown it was a pain trying to get a food slot until it sorted itself out, so I imagine it’s even worse trying to get one when you have to isolate

I think that’s something she does on purpose tbh? She always mentions getting up bright and early and being like “OMG I GOT SO MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT - 8 HOURS!” - I think it’s to combat the idea of influencers being lazy and able to get up whenever they want?

That being said it would make way more sense for her to actually have a lie in here and there and then actually get shit done, lol. I do not understand why she gets up at like 7 to sit around and count her lipsticks when she could be sleeping, or, you know, actually getting stuff done. So weird to me.

I honestly think she gets up early because she gets up to do something she enjoys. She doesn’t have to force herself out of bed to get to work My days off and late starts are precious opportunities for a lie in for me.

 

[justbecasual]

Anyone watch the loose skin video? I just CBA with her anymore cause she’s just too try hard and too triggering for my liking.

 

[Lola123]

I can’t get over how tiny their bed is!!

*emma’s, it’s clear she isn’t that happy with Tim moving in

 

[Raych23]

I didn’t know this!! I had to ask a family member to do a drive-by delivery instead and I felt so bad

I think cos its got such a flimsy reputation no one even thinks of checking but they do fridge stuff and veg too. Aw don't feel bad, desperate times call for desperate measures!

 

[BeautyBabe1999]

You're right, she said she was 12-14 in this. This is the haul with that bikini in:

She looks more like a 14-16 in this? Not dissimilar to my body shape, and that’s what I am!

 

[Purpleshampoo]

What is her PT’s name on Instagram? Can’t find her

This is her

 

[Metamorpheuse13]

In almost two months, Emma has gained 2k subscribers. She can’t be at all serious about her goal of reaching 250k within the year, or she’d be doing something different right about now.

it’s obvious she reads this Tattle too - literally just take some of the great ideas presented here, Emma, if you’re serious about your channel! “What I eat in a day” videos are supposedly your most popular but they’re not making your channel grow at all since the fitness part of YouTube is super oversaturated, so maybe put some effort into some more creative and fun vids if you want to stop your channel from growing completely stagnant.

 

[Bilbo16]

The problem is, she’ll be like this until it stops her from making money, from now on she can be lazy and makes a shed load from Instagram ads and that doesn’t get impacted by her messing about with lipsticks, which I think is horrible if they’re brand new.... like give some away! If not, focus on using up a certain amount instead, because the bacteria is gonna be rife

I totally agree. I just feel like she’s coasting through life at the moment and there’s only so long that lasts.

 

[justbecasual]

The loose skin video is so fucking problematic and I find it really weird she’s not being called out for it more to be honest.

Firstly, this video is 10000% for views and money. “LOOSE SKIN” “50LBS” in the title is asking for those views from people searching for the keywords above or following her fitness journey. It’s preying on diet culture.

Secondly, the focus on aesthetics is very thinly veiled as “building strength”. She says herself she struggles to gather her thoughts and that is particularly apparent in this video cause she can’t articulate much of a point, because, in my opinion, she’s not saying what she actually thinks. Remember, this is from a girl who last week did a 12k and a spin class (all cardio) in a day. She’s not building strength, she’s trying to shrink.

She says “I am happier in my current body than I was before” aka I am happy now I’m smaller. Not a problem on its own, but IT IS A PROBLEM WHEN YOU INFLUENCE YOUNG WOMEN ONLINE.

Honestly, and this is me being really honest, but people have eyes and I think she thinks she’s slimmer than she is. She’s making out she’s ripped and it’s just a bit of loose skin covering her washboard abs. She is a very normal looking girl... I’ve said it before but just give up the fitness influencer routine. You are feeding diet culture.

Stop with the faux body positivity Emma. Seriously. It’s so damaging. Or at least stop spewing it on the internet.

 

[JeepersPeepers]

Can’t you imagine asking your other half if HIS parents would mind storing your junk?! For a start, at least ask them themselves if it would be okay, and secondly don’t buy something if you’ve got no space to store it?! I know she missed the gym last time but she managed, just likes thousands of other people in this country.

I remember it so clearly because I thought surely you don’t just assume they’ll store a massive piece of equipment indefinitely! Especially when it’s not her family. Don’t get me wrong she’s obviously been with Tim a long time and gets on well with his parents but Ijust Think it’s an odd thing to do. I’d be so affronted to just rock up to my boyfriends parents with it for them to store

 

[ejej123]

She honestly gets worse with every video

 

[Purpleshampoo]

Okay I'm sorry this is sooo nitpicky but I really hate when she does that mWAH chefs kiss thing hahaha drives me insane

But I agree, I think her attitude towards her weight loss/fitness seemed really healthy at the start (I found her through her fitness journey video) and thought it was really refreshing to hear someone talking about a weight loss journey from the idea of being able to do something like climb macchu picchu but yeah, now it seems a bit concerning and I can definitely see thought patterns that I experienced while in a worse place with my ED - just a loooot of focus on good/bad food, 'healthy' or 'nutritious' options over anything else etc

Yeah I agree with the chefs kiss thing it makes me cringe

I feel like with the nails - a lot of nail techs are self employed so whilst it may seem unessessary, it is their only source of income for a lot of beauticians, as the government are pretty useless - why not go get your nails done if they’re open? Help out a struggling industry! There are precautions in place to make it a safe environment, I’ve been to get my nails and eyebrows done and was planning on booking in extra treatments, more to help them out as they have been struggling financially this year. That’s £40 in a nail techs pocket that the government wouldn’t be giving them

Nah... I can’t get behind that argument. It’s an industry that’s purely cosmetic. No-one needs to get their nails done to survive. I’m a flight attendant. I’m on unpaid leave. My country’s borders are closed, so my airline can’t fly. Nail techs and beauticians, just like airline staff, just like entertainers... are going to have to band our bellies and make it another way until this passes.
Not saying beauticians don’t deserve to eat but... it is an unnecessary luxury at the moment. Fair enough you want to support your favourite nail tech to do your bit to make sure they can live, however she gets her nails done almost weekly it seems like. Maddening.

Also does anybody else think shea desperate for jamie Genevieve to send her PR with the amount she keeps going on about loving her and wanting to try it all LOL

All of a sudden she’s posting more makeup videos when we’ve suffered through her eating apples for weeks!

 

[jjeett]

I guess it just makes me feel a bit sorry for Emma in particular because she seems like a lost kid who doesn't really know what she's doing. So to think that she's lost enough (and lacking in confidence enough) to look to Tattle for advice on how she should be running things is just a bit sad imo.

BUT I'm over it haha. Resume business as usual

 

[Bilbo16]

Ugh, the chipmunk voice Christmas music is really grating on me now!

Same! Does she have to use it in every vlog!
