Am I going crazy here or is this woman getting paid to make videos of her, getting her hair cut, getting her nails done, getting tattoos, talking about going for drinks, apologising for not having time to talk because she’s in a rush to get to her next beauty appointment or because she was hungover from socialising. She basically gets paid, to brag?! This is classed as a job? She gets paid to do all of this stuff most of her followers, (without whom she wouldn’t have the money to do all of this) could only dream of being able to afford? Why do people line these ‘influencers’ pockets?! I just don’t get it!

I only started watching her a few years ago because I assumed it was a woman in her late thirties and her teenage son. Took me a while to figure out I was wrong and Tim was actually her other half. Haven't watched her since the split because her posts are boring af.
Her newest vlog has wound me up sooo much omg. She prioritises her gym workout over being responsible and making it to a business meeting, doesn’t remember to actually make a note of the dates of an expensive event she booked as a Christmas gift for her sister and ends up missing it, and then whines about her grown out nails and the salon not having appointments for her over the weekend. I genuinely struggle to understand how she functions as a normal person. Her privilege is actually sickening. I’m the same age as her (25), I work 8-6/6 days a week as a retail manager, and I still can’t afford the luxury of a *free* Uk cruise to only then complain I’m not tanned because ‘I haven’t left the country in 2 years’. Or get my nails done weekly, or book myself onto a nice little art course, or go out to events/with my friends every night. She needs a reality check and I need to unfollow her immediately

Do you guys remember when she got all dressed up and drove to her old school to go do a speech at and then realised it was the wrong month and the talk was actually the month after?! Like how is that possible? Idiot

A 'nice busy week'
Monday
Shoots and edits a campaign (influencer speak for AD?)
Goes to the gym
Tuesday
Goes to the gym
Can't go to London as planned, which means she doesn't have to leave something until last minute tomorrow and can have a slow day tomorrow instead
Laughs at herself for being nervous about an art class
Laughs hysterically at a plate of eggs
Laughs at herself going on a walk
Flaps some more about art class
Goes to art class
Wednesday
Thursday
Shoots a Starbucks campaign (AD) which looks to be her wearing a blazer while burning pancakes
Friday
A visit to her sister and nephew today.
Big Laughs because Emma spent a fortune on Moulin Rouge tickets and didn't write the date down anywhere and now they've missed it. WHAT IS SHE LIKE GUYS!? Anyway, now she's going to go and share that news with her sister in lieu of a Christmas present. It's the thought that counts, ey?
Saturday
More burnt pancakes
Today is one of those 'reset' days they all like to do, so she's fake tanned and looking grubby
She's going to 'make a cute little fit' (which I assume is influencer speak for 'get dressed') before going bowling with her grown out nails
Sunday
More bowling

I didn't watch the entire vlog from this week because I'm just not that interested.
I think this is meant to be a dining room
Driving on a motorway with her hands off the wheel, pretending to sing into a microphone/ drumming. And why do influencers think anyone wants to see them singing in the car!?
Vaping
very cool
It stresses me out when she's running late to meet someone and sending things to her manager before rushing out the door even though she's just been faffing about doing her makeup and did a workout. I have friends like this and it's just such shitty behaviour that wears thin after awhile. It's all very well saying everyone around you just has to be patient, but maybe try managing your time better and showing some respect.

If you all will indulge me, here us a list of reasons why this vlog was the vlog to make me unsub:
1. No one enjoys watching ppl sing in the car. No one. Not a single life form is actually entertained by this.
2. The broad had a bad mental health day so she took a week, a whole week, off from her work, full well knowing that she had a cruise coming up and would be on vacation after already being on vacation.
3. The "work" she does do for these trips are equivalent to what I record or post on socials as a noninfluencer.
4. She has the balls to sarcastic about her upload schedule and it's totally blind to her privilege. It's never, "hey sorry I haven't been uploading decent content", or, "I know these trips, my lifestyle, my ability to go rogue whenever my mood dips, my lengthy daily gym sessions, are all because of my audience so thank you for sticking through what has been subquality and sparsely posted content". The entitlement is beyond me.

If you don't want to watch the vlog, here's a recap: 7 minutes of her moaning about being sick but also talking, though obviously not actually vlogging, about endless socialising (pub, drinks, "friends" over for dinner, gym). Can't vlog, can spread germs around.
Followed by 16 minutes of her rambling about Project 50. Also she's in a calorie deficit again and starting dance and boxing as well as gym, yoga and spin, so of course this project is actually thinly veiled diet culture.
Also, why doesn't she just give up on reading? She clearly doesn't enjoy it as a hobby, and that's fine. It's clearly a chore for her, why force yourself to do it?
----
Sorry for the double post but OMG she just said she's focussing on project 50 more than work right now because she needs to only do sponsored stuff and has to be selfish. Imagine being able to just sack off even the bare minimum of work she already did. She has absolutely no idea.

I completely agree you. I have been diagnosed with a host of mental health issues- GAD, OCD, depression, as well as ADHD, and it seems that when you ACTUALLY have these issues, you're still stigmatised. Over the last 15 years since my first diagnoses, it's become "cool" to say you have these disorders, but as long as it's the right kind. Anxiety is cool as long as it's saying you don't like other people or you work too hard, not if you say you have panic attacks when you have to leave the house. Depression is cool as long as you're wearing a trendy tracksuit and taking time for "self care" and not contemplating walking into traffic. OCD is cool as long as your cupboards are organised and you're a "perfectionist", not when it keeps you up all night or you can't think of anything else and ignore all other people and responsibilities. ADHD is cool as long as you're kind of pretty and bubbly but not the 18 boxes of all those hobbies you picked up for one week, became obsessed with and now hide in shame. A lot of instagram/tik toks about mental health or adhd seem to focus on the ways you can laugh at the diagnosis- oops I forgot my keys aren't I hilarious- rather than the real suffering and impact they have on your life.

in the vlog she just said "I don't want my arse hanging out" had to rewind to make sure those words actually came out of her mouth cause we've seen nothing but her arse for the past week

Congrats to @Lurker2867 for the new thread name! I had to amend it slightly because it was too long.
Anyone care to recap? In short:
- Emma's still extremely busy doing nothing...
- She started dating again, which we know because she loves to include cringeworthy moments of her fake laughing while looking at her phone in every#ad vlog. She also got stood up. Not that she mentions it often you know...
- She's trying to recreate the buzz she got from her first #fitness journey video that got her over a million views. It's a bit of a fail, though, as her two "My Fitness Journey 2.0" videos haven't even reached 50k views... combined
- She posted a "September/October faves" video in... December. Some viewers commented on that, to which she replied: "Would you rather she lied?". No, Emma, we would rather you put some effort into your job!
Emma’s Rectangle #3 I've got meals and reels, but keep your nose out of my feels.
Title is a mash-up of @bcfc999 and @Tom_Nook! RECAP (Love Life, Fitness, YouTube): - Broke up with long term and live-in boyfriend, Tim. Snapped at her followers for asking about the breakup before she was ready to talk about it. - Emma is still unhealthily OBSESSED with working out. - It's...

i think one of the things that really made me go from a fan to frustrated viewer was how little Emma assesses her problematic behaviour WHILST she’s doing it. It always starts with a statement we can tell isn't reality and then eventually it comes out.
- “just doing it for health” became “before I was actually doing it for aesthetics oh but NOW I’m doing it for health” which became “oh I’ve gained weight and when I said it wasn’t bothering me it actually did but now I’ve gained even more and it’s not bothering me I’m just stating a fact”
- “just a tiny bit of filler I want it to look really natural” will become “I am getting them dissolved and starting again I’m not sure why they’re so lumpy”
- and mark my words “happy with my loose skin” will become “I got a boob job because after I lost weight I just had all this loose skin there and needed to do it for my mental health”
Sounds harsh but it’s just so tiring. She used to be so fun to watch and now she just exhausts me because I can see all the consequences of her actions before she can!
I almost think she’s trying to make her being late a thing. So she seems quirky or something. But I find lateness just so rude. It happens, we’ve all been there, but why then take a call from a friend of you know you’ve got somewhere to be? I don’t get it. That would be like me running late for work but stopping to chat to my mate. Lateness is really disrespectful of the other parties time, and when it’s seemingly intentional, it’s even worse.
Sorry, long rant(?) incoming...
"it [ADHD] has been affecting me for about a year and a half..."
As a woman with ADHD, who also got diagnosed recently, this is something that has affected my whole. entire. life. Since before *I* can even remember. Also, bit of an indescrepancy in her story, how can the amount of time that it's "been affecting you" be the same amount of time you've been "meaning to get diagnosed"?
She does show some of the signs tbh, so I'm not invalidating (or trying not to), but it felt a little like a kick in the teeth to hear the disorder that's dominated my life for 30 years, and many others, be reduced to a hyperfixation on stewing apples. She also seemed far too happy/excited about it and talked about it like it was some massive amazing thing. Of course diagnosis is a positive/relief generally, but personally my diagnosis has also caused me a lot of trauma (anger at how adults didn't consider it when I was a very spacy kid, the multiple misdiagnoses, seeing all of my symptoms listed on a diagnosis sheet, and ultimately realising this is a chronic condition that I'll be managing forever). I know a lot goes on behind the scenes, and she could also be feeling these things, but it's not just a fun quirky thing to offload randomly in a vlog, it's a very loaded topic and I wish she would have taken the time to formulate a proper, informative response to sharing her diagnosis that was more than just "oh yeah while I'm talking about my apple obsession...". It's fucking shameful, actually. Especially if she does have ADHD she's doing herself a massive disservice in the way that she has presented it in this vlog.
She's not obligated to of course but I hope she does a video on it at some point because I'd be interested to hear her story and if it was present in childhood. It's in the diagnostic criteria but as someone said, it's very easy to fake. If it has been her entire life, all power to her for getting the diagnosis, as it's a hard process.
P.S. I wonder if she ever caught wind of the fact that ADHD meds reduce your appetite and quite often make you lose weight. Just another layer of nuance to add to the conversation, given her history...
