Yep, he has been an alcoholic for many years, but now he is a dry one. And you're right that she shouldn't have that much alcohol in the house if he is struggling, like she said he is. That's why we think she used it as an excuse in her little rant the other day and denied it later on.
If Mirabeau has not taken the comments or complaints seriously,I can only think the firm has family or good friend connections .Seems suspicious to me. Otherwise maybe there is some place where Mirabeau could be reported to ?
Possibly a joke, or some sort of follower manipulation to get praise ...who knows if she really upholsters things herself.All we have seen so far is her ripping the covers off old chairs...so unless we actually see her upholstering...who knows !Why do they hire people for things they could easily do on their own and do things they can't by themselves?!
They need a carpenter to place shelfs in a room for cleaning utensils but she is trying to repolster an antique bed by herself? Is this some kind of joke?!
No she is a smart business woman: she knows she's catering to her gullible audience's desire for an idyllic English countrylife when she puts on a floral dress and potters about in her lush garden. They also love a sensible, humble, frugal but still stylish girl and what could be more wholesome than this kind of upmarket DIY?P.S. I am a little late with all my comments, I hope you all don't mind

Awww. I actually found this quite sad. She seemed so genuine here (real accent, genuine emotions, humble...)
It is sad, but from what I've seen so far they are both egocentric, manipulative liars and that has got nothing to do with alcoholism, so I don't think there's a happy, healthy future ahead of them tbh.
It was sad wasn't it. I can totally relate to the man drinking and picking a fight thing BUT you can work through it and come out the other side with a lot of work.
& other stoies and H&M have been sponsering influencers like crazy recently so she definitely didn't pay for those orders. Remember, she doesn't actually spend money when she receives packages, they are almost always gifted.
This is a good point, though she did say she was sending one of the H&M dresses back so I assumed she had paid for those. I might be wrong, but I didn't think that gifted clothes could be returned in the same way as ones you've bought?
She is lying about returning that (gifted!) dress. When she appears to be just like a normal shopper, she is more relatable to her audience. Another smart business move.
She didn't buy a thing, she was just promoting the company that send her those swatches in return for free fabric (and probably some money too) and she has ongoing deals with H&M, &Other Stories, Topshop, River Island, Farfetch, Reiss, Ted Baker and lots of other brands.
It's just her shallowness, deception and arrogance that irks me so much. I really don't care how she dresses or what she looks like, but her ethics suck! To top it all off she preaches to her audience like she is a Saint. I think that's why there is a thread about her at all. I really pity her, hope she will grow up a bit and learn humbleness and honesty but I'm not holding my breath.
I actually think that she returns a lot of that ordered stuff. She tries it on for the followers and to make content and suggestions. That's what I think. Didn't watch the video to see if she said what she was going to keep. If one can believe her.
Freddy My Love is operating on the same market as Josie is and even though she's very fake and annoying, she is also weirdly honest about how it all works with gifts, vouchers and sponsorships with the brands I've mentioned before.
.Having left my husband because of his drinking I would advise her to get him help or get out. There is nothing you can do on your own.
I used to follow Josie...thought she was hard-working and honest...er....anyway, I just can't with the gardening..... but then I'm a qualified garden designer with horticulture qualifications too. It makes my eyes bleedWhen I first saw them "gardening" I knew, that not a single plant will survive. How can they be so clueless?!
They will ruin the garden just as the house by adding things that just don't fit in here and there, the need a plan before changing anything.
Or a professional landscape gardener...
Pressing herbs into big chucks of dry soil won't work and neither will digging super tiny holes along the wall to put roses into these holes
But you probably don't wear a long flowy floral dress, straw hat with scarf combo whilst doing it, and that is why Josie is laughing her way to the bank right nowHaving left my husband because of his drinking I would advise her to get him help or get out. There is nothing you can do on your own.
