although all she seems to do is shop though
I don't think she has a whole lot else to do with her days. I watched two videos of hers last night (Day in the life and one of the reno videos) after not watching a video of hers in months and apart from meeting up with Lydia for an event and walking Barney twice a day, she doesn't seem to do much else. Her channel doesn't seem to have grown all that much since I first started watching her a few years back, but I guess she must be somehow making bank, since she seems to shop non-stop!

One of the family was explaining to me this new "thing" of influencers. I was slightly bemused that folk could "persuade" you to purchase items simply by showing them to you :oops: :) so I began to watch a few different people on youtube.

Some were so fake, all about the 🤑 (£££££) and didn't care what sort of rubbish, or how dangerous items were, they got paid so meh. Others were constant adverts, in between their own constant adverts 😴 some have the most unpleasant partners who are ok to enjoy the money the channel brings in, but treat the whole thing as either their channel and take over, or just bring a cringe to it and so I got fed up and ditched most of them.

But Freya did and for me, still does, come across as a sweet enough lady, what you see is what you get. Tom is a no-nonsense yorkshire (direction, apologies to any northern folk if I guessed wrong on accent) type fella, when he shows a smile, you know it's for real and he's actually having a nice/fun time.

She does reply and engage, which is nice as many ignore any comments and don't really make you feel part of their community vibe (don't think of viewers of those channels - youtube and instagram as fans 🤔 more like a following community? ) so that's why I like her personally I guess.

I'm thinking maybe with the dog being poorly recently and the house being full of workmen/ladies, that she isn't able to be out and about so much or able to show much like she used to (things like cleaning vids, or shopping, holidays and such?)

I do really like her as a person, I don’t find her irritating it’s just the obsession with beige, same with Gemma Louise Miles, Elle Darby etccc.
It can look nice but the fact she’ll just buy something if the packaging even fits with her aesthetic, brown paper packaging, the range that primark do that is just beige, creams, whites

Does her partner get to inject any colour and tat of his own in that house or does he have to put up with the beige? I've only just discovered her the past couple of months but I haven't watched any of her older stuff. Has she always been a fan of the beige? I just don't understand the point of white pumpkins...surely the vibe of Halloween tat is oranges and browns and blacks, not white?
She's a fan of neutrals.

Modelmouth is similar but not so obviously flogging.

I don’t mind Freya, but she seems very lonely. She doesn’t seem to mix with anyone or have a social life.

I really like her. And I think part of the appeal is that she isn't one of these fake "you're my best friends" "hi pals" "i do everything for you guyzzz" influencers. I feel she keeps her work life and private life separate, to the extent you can when you are an influencer and part of that "job" is sharing your house / style / other choices, but reveals enough for it to not seem like she's just a sales girl. She responds to comments and messages, which is more than can be said for a lot of others. Even down to her choosing to "influence" as Freya Farrington rather than use her actual name - another line of separation.

Some people aren't that social, but it could be that Freya just chooses not to share her "normal" socialising online, just that she does as part of her job (eg attending blogger events). I don't know, I'm just speculating.

I actually thought her bf was a bit grumpy at first. but after watching a few of her vlogs, I really like him. He does seem like a really genuine guy, and in Freya's last reno vlog, you could see his playful attitude - which went straight over her head. Most times she comes across as really sweet, but this last reno vlog, ooh her mask slipped a bit. I have the impression as she can be quite passive aggressive with Tom. But hey ho, we can all be a bit passive aggressive at times. In the big picture of Influencers / Bloggers / Youtubers, she is one of the likeable ones. Love her dog, he is a cutie.

Wasn't the fact that she she hardly ever seems to do general vlogs mentioned on here the other day...well guess what we have today?

See it goes to show that this site is not people being nasty.

Yeah, the weekly vlogs were always my favourite videos of hers. I don't mind hauls here and there but she went a bit overboard with them! I do like Freya and hopefully will get back to watching her if she starts mixing up her content a bit.

Img her latest video! Some of the comments - she’s so out of touch from reality, it’s shocking. She bought a new dressing gown and was like ‘this is work for me, how lucky am I?!’ And even bought a dog toy for Barney that is ‘aesthetically pleasing’ 🙄🙄🙄 it’s actually quite sad. I don’t mind her content usually, but this really wound me up

I really don’t like the panelling in her new house, it’s so chunky and the spacing is off especially in the bedroom.

So she keeps going on and on about how clever she was spacing the paneling and everything, but what happened with plug sockets in the master bedroom? Almost half of them on each side is covered by the bed. Where did those amazing planing and measuring skills go?

I noticed that what's the point in spending money on fancy sockets when u can bearly see them they didn't measure correctly for their super king size bed did they? they do seem to have a bottomless money pot for the house though 🤔

Does anyone know the price she paid for the property? I really find it interesting as it's not a new build.

Haven't a clue but that's a good thing really. I actually know where GLM lives by how much detailed she posted.
