I am sure you are right there. What happened was absolutely awful. However this isn't really to do with that... It's about the instagrammers like her who seem to take take take...surely the right thing to do if you don't need it is to ask the company to re-gift to somebody who is in need?i’m sure she would happily trade in a lot of aspects of her privileged life for a baby
Yeah. The posh girl who swears routine is rather tiresome.She just tries to be funny and she isn’t. It makes me cringe so hard
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve become tired of following my posts. I generally just share what’s been going on in my life at the time (I don’t stage photos or keep them in my drafts) I just take a snap and post it. For the most part, at the moment anyway, that’s been stuff at home and the completion of our new kitchen. I’m well aware that it’s probably bored the tits off most people, and I joke about that to my friends, but my Instagram continues to be the place I share the things I love.I used to enjoy following her and admired all the charity work that she and her husband did. But God, her page has become so dull now. She had a new kitchen. Great, it's a beautiful kitchen but it's all we hear about!! Gifted this, ad that. It's almost as if she's running out of content. I really wish these companies would start gifting to people who are genuinely in need - the fact that she is privileged enough to not need to work (I am sure her husband works very hard and that is a great thing) suggests that she does not fall into the category of being in need. Yet she keeps being given more and more stuff.
I’m definitely not wild about dropping £150 on a Boden dress either, I won’t ever buy anything unless it’s 30% off. I’m glad you still enjoy my page, but again, just to answer a few things in reply to your observations...I do like Elle and she does make me laugh. I'm not wild about the dropping £150 on a Boden dress every now and again, which I cannot relate to at all, but she does balance that out with stuff from H&M and Zara. Her #ad content isn't even that bad. But I do feel it is very wrong of her to accept so many freebies when she can more than fucking afford it. I don't mind the jewellery, candles and shit like that but it's the really big stuff I object to.
Her husband works very long hours and very hard no doubt - he's a trader in oil commodities and must earn conservatively £200,000 a year (probably a lot more with bonuses) and he's obviously from serious money looking at his parent's houses - and she's had best selling book published purely on the back of her Instagram account. It wasn't that good - most of it was lifted from her blog and I did not agree with the shaming of the people who didn't act how she thought they should when her son died especially one of her friends.
Her new kitchen extension must have cost at least £100,000 and most of that appears to have been bought and paid for - fair enough - but she did accept a washing machine from AO which cost over £1,000 when I checked the model. That really fucked me off. And the Wimbledon tickets! You want to go to Wimbledon? Pay for it yourself! Probably doesn't even like tennis.
It's the same old story. Money goes to money. Gifted stuff goes to people who can more than afford it. It's all fucked up.
I have done exactly that, on many occasions. Smaller brands usually want to/ agree to donate to our fundraising so that they are making a donation to the Neonatal Unit or to Tommy’s the Baby Charity (in return for me promoting their Instagram page and not accepting whatever it was they wanted to send to me). For the bigger brands though, it isn’t really a case of them looking for someone to gift things to out of the goodness of their hearts, it’s advertising. I’m under no illusion; it’s not because they like me or they think I “deserve it” or because I’m “in need” that they offer it to me, it’s because they want me to promote it to my audience of 120,000 people. Often I go back and ask if they would consider a giveaway or a discount code for people, and am usually met with “it’s not in our marketing strategy”. Trust me when I say that I know so many other accounts on Instagram who go back with the same question. If I don’t take something from them, then they simply move onto the next person on the list who will.No, Elle does not owe anyone any explanations. But equally we are still allowed to discuss things on Instagram that annoy us, and if somebody deliberately places themselves in the public eye then they are going to be discussed most likely. I think all of us would agree that what Elle and her husband went through was absolutely horrendous but to be honest that is not really the reason for our discussions. And I am sorry but if somebody is in a position where they can spend £100,000 on their kitchen and haven't got to go out to work everyday at a company like most of us have to, then good luck to them but it still means they are coming from a position of incredible privilege. The fact that Elle admits herself that her inbox is full all the time of many difference products and invites thrown at her, surely means that she could use that position to suggest that these companies that they are regifted to somebody in much greater need?
It’s like she’s famous!?Oh my god, the sight of everyone licking Elle’s arse hole now she’s written a few replies is hilarious. People come here to bitch and moan about things that annoy them. So what? No need for everyone to shit their pants about it.
