Been watching her vlogs for a while and honestly the more I watched the more vapid she seemed and the less I wanted to watch. I actually found this site because I was shocked that in the comments there weren't more people airing the same thoughts I had. After the Covid 19 breakout she moved house and it was indeed a nice escape as the Cotswolds are my favorite part of the UK so I started watching again. I don't mind her BF too much and the house was pretty so it was so nice to be able to see someone enjoying that sort of thing. I knew she was able to buy it cuz she had family money and I was not at all upset by that, that's just how life is. So I enjoyed for a bit. I was a bit put off when she started mentioning the history of her house and didn't seem to know really basic things about history, that seemed a bit shocking but no one watches her vlogs for the education so I wrote it off. That said, her use of "the secret" has always bothered me, but this time, I think she went too far and I'm actually disgusted. Very much the wrong thing at the wrong time.
The first time it really ticked me off was when she said she stays thin while eating all the garbage she does because of it. No no dear, you have genetics on your side, please make now mistake about it. However, with the house it has gone a step too far and I'll likely not want to watch her anymore because it's actually super offputting how she uses this "ideology" to basically take credit for what is really just insane privilege. Most people can spend their whole life "manifesting" and working hard for a dream house, but they will never get it because they lack generational wealth. Most people will work super hard to make a good YouTube lifestyle channel but they aren't "blonde and perky and pretty" so they won't succeed. To do this now, with what is going on in the US (and the world) now shows just how much privilege plays into every aspect of daily life, from interactions to police officers, to getting a job you want, to having the generational wealth to buy a 2 Million pound property in the Cotswolds. That she would so openly mention how she used the secret to manifest this vs talking about how grateful she is for the privilege of being able to afford the home of her dreams (or just saying nothing at all about it) is flat out insulting. I say this as a person who has a lot of privilege. But yeah, I'm really grossed out by this and glad there is a place where I can say that where other people will understand.
