I wonder how long this play area will last before she gets bored and turns it back into a little sanctuary coffee area for herself. She seems to need one in every corner of the house. Looks like she just moved the couch around and reshuffled a few bits. Does it need the god damn couch like? Get rid of it! Wonder will the poor young lad even get a play down there

By all accounts I’ve heard, she isn’t a nice girl. She’s quite cut throat and witchy. She was the mean girl in school and it stuck with her.
Thing about her house, she feels she’s entitled and deserving of all those products so she puts not care or pride into them. She has her partner, mother and sister all pandering to her. They clean for her, take care of the kids, cook for her etc. She doesn’t know how to be an adult. She’s 32. She’s a mother of 2. She’s a home owner. She’s self employed. She needs to take responsibility at some point because her children are going to be looking up to her and if they see someone who needs them to mind her (as she’s said many times before) then they won’t have a good role model to grow up with. She’s inconsistent and unreliable.
She has huge potential to be relatable and real but she doesn’t have the ability, talent or drive to follow through and be a good influencer. Her last blog post was January 2019 I think. I’ve never seen her properly review a product. I wouldn’t buy a thing she recommends because she only recommends whoever is paying her. She’s dishonest and calculated.
I didn’t realise regarding her not being nice, maybe I’m naive 😂 I do agree on the rest though as I’m younger than her and feel like shaking her sometimes when I watch everything being handed to her! I also wouldn’t trust any reviews from her because you’ll never hear of it again! I do still have faith she might turn it around but that’s my naivety again perhaps!

Ah she’s very good at playing this dumb nice girl to the camera but the mask has slipped many, many times both in her videos, other people’s videos and from people knowing her in real life.
She’s so inconsistent that even if she did suddenly become this amazing blogger it would last a week max 😂 her bi weekly YouTube videos didn’t even make it past half a week. Her weekly IGTV tutorialsnever happened. She gave up on her obsession of tiktok after a week. Her book club live chats lasted a week. She’s actually has 😂😂😂

Genuinely thought there was a rat in her pantry when she first showed it but it was just the cat
She was gifted a rat

Genuinely want to know why when she cleans stuff away... she goes on like shes just climbed Mount Everest on a charity climb for sick children... the over praising is ridiculous and repetitive.. news flash grace.....we all clean our tit away !

The inconsistency is so frustrating. She says she’s going to do something and then doesn’t follow through on it. I feel like she’s depressed but isn’t saying anything about it - I know she’s admitted to having anxiety but I think there’s deep rooted depression going on. She doesn’t seem to care about looking after her house.. or keeping her kids clean.. she’s constantly saying she feels poorly.. her videos are half assed like she only does them because she has to for the money. I think she needs to sit back and think is this ‘influencer’ life really for her because it’s not fair her getting brand deals when another influencer could get passed up for the same deal and give 100% when she can’t be arsed. I genuinely feel like she can’t be bothered being an influencer but enjoys the free stuff and would honestly really struggle with a normal job. She gets out of breath just walking up the stairs can you imagine her stacking shelves in dunnes or working in Tesco? She’d have to have a lie down in the aisles every 20 minutes for a little nap and a motivational speech reminding her how proud she is of herself

I agree with all of this.
I do genuinely worry for her when this bubble bursts, which it will. She isn’t putting the effort it and is going to keep losing deals. I’m sorry but things are bad when your doing sponsored content for frozen veg.

Remember the days she would be flown foreign for press trips? It’s been a long long time since she was invited to anything like that.

I think it’s that she has no niche anymore. To be a mammy blogger you have to be a mammy others aspire to be like in some way. Say like Orlaith Donlon Or Elle Pearls. But Grace isn’t house proud or have high enough personal hygiene to be classed in that category.

She isn’t in the fashion or makeup category anymore as there is zero drive to keep up to day with the trends in both areas and as such when she does try and make this content it’s boring as we are getting that content at 100% effort from someone else. People like Louise O’Donnel, The Beaut Truth and Simone Scribes to name but a few.

I agree that there is definitely deeper rooted depression there, the lack of care she gives to herself firstly and then her home. But this is where I think Chris as her husband to be needs to step in and make her visit a GP and give her a chat. My partner wouldn’t allow us live like that. I would be concerned her entering into a marriage with someone who isn’t putting her health and welfare first.

But I will keep watching and hoping she gets her tit together because as I said before and it may also be naive of me...I do like her. But I’m extremely frustrated with her and her lack of drive.

I’m in management and I can tell you 1000% she wouldn’t pass intial probation so I dunno what she will do when she has to re enter the workplace...which she will have to eventually do, probably sooner that she expects if her content keeps going the way it is.

If she or anyone she is friends with reads this thread, do the decent thing, have a good chat with her, see if she is really okay and then make her step away from this for a bit.

Also when this thread is eventually discussed by her on insta stories, which it will be. Grace 90% of the ppl on this thread are supportive and behind you, this is all constructive criticism. Please don’t lump everything on here into trolling as it’s not and I think you have a lot to take from what your followers on here have to say.

The couch needs go but she won't let it go cause it was free or highly discounted. I see the IKEA table is gone, probably in pile of stuff in the other part if the kitchen or hall.

Exactly! and I 100% agree with you that Chris should step up and help her. I mean we don’t see all of their life (a lot of it but not all) but if we can sense there is something wrong from these little snippets we see then surely he can see it more?

I used to love watching Graces videos and make up tutorials - now I feel like she will do a make up tutorial every now and again and it’s the same look over and over or it’s a tutorial for those plaits she does and they aren’t even helpful or easy to follow!

She got paid to go to Doha for work didn’t she and flew business class! Now she’s just accepting any old brand like the frozen peas and like someone else literally the day after the frozen pea video she uploaded a pic of her dinner saying ‘couldn’t be arsed with veg’ - frozen peas cook almost instantly in a pot of boiling water so? I know I said this in my last post but the inconsistency really is frustrating. I’ve lost count the amount of times I roll my eyes at her stories when watching them because it’s excuse after excuse after excuse ‘I’ve been in bed all day with a migraine’ - ‘my kidneys are bad today’ - ‘I’ve got the flu’. I keep watching because I have hope that she can get back to how she used to be but that hope fades a little bit every day! I wish she’d just be honest and admit she’s really struggling and get her tit together!

I used to like her.. in fact I even bought that grace selection box thing she done with meaghers pharmacy...

But now all I see is greed and pure laziness... theres a difference between depression and laziness... and i just think it's the latter unfortunately.. that's jus my opinion...

To be honest as time is going on I’m starting to agree.. she is incredibly lazy. Which is fine... but if you are........ own it 😂 you know what I mean? Don’t say you’re going to do all this tit like work out and lose weight if you’re just going to sit on your a everyday!

The other day she said ‘I’m going to post all my meals on here so I’m accountable for my actions and losing weight’ then she got offered a free takeaway (posting stories as payment) and her excuse was ‘I only got the salad’ then she showed a massive cheese and tomato pizza that Sienna got and said ‘obviously I had to try a piece’.... well if you’re on a diet and holding yourself accountable to your actions you didn’t need to try a piece!

I think people are getting sick of her promising things and not following through with them! She’s the patron saint of excuses. If it’s not ‘Sienna had this so I HAD to try a piece’ it’s I did a 10,000 steps so I DESERVE this takeaway. Whatever helps you sleep at night Grace 👍🏻

Yeah.

Agree with you... trust me I know how hard it is to lose weight... but when she comes on and give a 3 page essay on how shes on it and this is it... then gets a takeaway gifted..
Salad .plus some piz

But she has no time to walk cause she too busy putting away all the free packages... that she 100% doesnt deserve... no idea why a big brand like la roche posay sent her stuff yesterday... turns me off the brand now...

I remember her talking before about being on medication but it’s quite clearly not working and completely agree with a previous poster that’s where her husband needs to step in. As someone else said we only see a portion on their day but it’s clear for everyone to see that she’s got herself stuff in a slump and it’s not just affecting herself now it’s clearly affecting her kids too because no child should be left in the mess and dirt that she’s leaving the in but then again she does have a husband who I think is absolutely laziest person around. If she’s struggling why can’t he step in and do some cleaning or change the kids from their pjs or run a brush through siennas hair.

I mentioned in my previous post about suffering from mental health issues and 5 kids and long hours working from home for our business and a husband working long hours away from the home but when my mood starts to take a downward spiral he steps in and steps up to the plate when he’s needed. Whether it’s waking me before he leaves for work or ringing me through the day to make sure I’ve got few jobs done or even loading the dishwasher when he’s home it’s all stuff that helps, it’s little things like that that make sure the stuff doesn’t get on top of me otherwise your digging yourself into a bigger hole.

So I do really hope both grace and Chris have a good read through tattle and realise that something needs to change for the sake of their kids and themselves. Everybody goes through slumps and every relationship isn’t perfect but you can’t just lie down and let it fall around you, you need to get up and fight on and push through or it will just get worse. I’ve learned the hard way sometimes.

I definitely don’t think the Instagram life is for her, I honestly think she should go and do a refresher make up course and go back into that field because she was obviously happy in it before but needs an update without a doubt. And maybe then she might feel like she has a reason to get up and go and get a better routine going on.

*edited to add fyi my husband does help around the house as a general just using them examples by meaning he’ll see where I’m struggling and step in to help in that area whatever it may be.

She did, but some work really well for anxiety and ocd tenancies but not great for actual depression. I really do hope she has a mental health team. I had a wonderful one while I suffered with pnd and ocd. I was on many meds and had pretty intense therapy (for the ocd in particular).

I would say she's nearly afraid to take a step back in case she's forgotten about, which in itself must be really difficult.

I think she's so caught up in trying to be everyone else. There's big vibes of wanting to be like shoshanna or Orlaith Donlon but they have entirely different ways of life to Grace. It's not attainable for her to be like them. Orlaith is minimalist, quality over quantity every single time, earthy, organic wholesome content. She has regularly said she is very picky about press packages she accepts whereas Grace says no to nothing.

She worked in so many shops Like RI and counters such as Inglot but tells it as if she were designing clothes and doing runway shows. She did seem to like it all but it’s an industry where you have to be on top of trends, your training and be innovative and creative - she couldn’t do that. She got popular when she went into labour and hasn’t really done anything since then and even at that she wasn’t really doing proper looks or tutorials. The only thing I’ve seen her do a couple times a year for the past few years is orange/pink eye shadow smeared on the top and bottom of her eye. She can’t even do her own make up - she can’t colour match or blend eso imagine her giving advice to someone else? She rarely gives any product info (definitely not if it isn’t paid), no actual guidance or information. It’s basically her doing her make up with an editing style from 2010. Keep in mind she had someone who films this stuff for her. I get that it’s easy to fall out of the loop or behind the times but she gets sent products before they’re released to the public, she lives on her phone so she must be seeing other MUAs and their work. She’ll spend half an hour making a video of her making coffee and feeding the cat but not anything worthwhile. She needs another career path altogether but like someone said earlier, she’d pass out if she had to stock a shelf or even arrive to work on time.

There is a light gone out in her in recent years. When she shows all these throwback pictures from years ago, pictures of her dressing up or having the craic and looking brilliant, or the video she shared the other day of her dancing on stage, I don’t even recognise that person. I’m sure she doesn’t either. I don’t know if it’s medication that she’s on or what but there’s not much personality there anymore.

She obviously has sienna carted off the first opportunity she could get. No sign of her today or yesterday

Thought that too... I genuinely think she needs to give up this 'influencer ' life Nd get a normal job... but I think she would lose the plot if she didnt keep getting the cutest delivery ever anymore
