I stopped watching due to the serial "cheap tat hauls".
Like others have said. Her home looks empty and has such high potential for proper content.
She never seems to go anywhere other than to the local shops, it's all weird.
Then I suddenly I noticed via IG she's wearing a Chanel bag? Then an expensive watch. She must be doing something else to generate an income. There's no way her little channel is paying enough for these "treats".

If I'm right in thinking the watch she wears is a Rolex that she treated herself to,hubby bought her the electric car.

I've often wondered how she affords her lifestyle too (all she seems to do is shop!) but she says she's a full-time influencer. I guess they do get paid silly money for IG ads.

I'm sure Tom does quite well with his property business too.

From previous posters I understand she is a nice girl who has worked really hard. So I bite my lip when it looks like she is flogging expensive stuff. She is showing us what we should be doing in a perfect world. Being mindful enjoying the small things in life and buying quality items rather than tat. But sadly this is a pipe dream to most of us.

Sorry, I'm not sure if I've misunderstood you, but I completely disagree that she's showing us what we should be doing in a perfect world. Girl goes to primary, b & m and home bargains every single week for fast fashion and cheap products to hoard.

I'm not sure that she has worked really hard - but she has shopped really hard, that's for sure!

The impression I get from Freya is this,she lives in her own little bubble. We rarely see her with the husband,the rest of her family or friends. All we've been seeing is the usual : the occasional trip to Ikea,the regular beige coloured something or other haul and there's the odd rearrange blog, the trip of her making her way through McDonald's drive thru and that's about it. What she needs is perhaps a bit of colour in her life and realize there's more to life than shopping. As for the dupe blogs, don't get me started on them. They are in my own personal opinion, awful.

I suppose we're just not used to an influencer who doesn't flog her family and friends so we start assuming things about her. In a recent blog she mentioned her father had been to stay, but did not force him on camera.
Her job is to present things to us so there will be a lot of shopping trips etc but that doesn't mean so much has to be purchased, but I expect the temptation is there if money is rolling in.
Influencers can also make the product look really good with filters so who amongst us hasn't been disappointed seeing the product in real life? It's all smoke and mirrors which we will all get sick of with the constant merry go round and this includes the influencers! 😄

This is what I dnt understand, when she buys stuff she’ll say about having a bbq in the nice weather outside or meeting friends we never see those things, so its easy to assume she does nothing other than shop. Maybe like the above poster has said shes just very good at keeping those boundaries because Ill be honest I dnt even really know what her boyfriend looks like. She also never seems stressed, about time or money or deadlines. All the shopping and filming and then editing must take a long time.
I do agree with the person who said she is living a slow and simple life and sometimes buys quality items (the money they obviously have helps) but shes also the opposite of a minimalist/slow living influencer with all the home bargains/bnm/poundland hauls

When I first started watching Freya, Tom used to feature in her vlogs quite a bit - Chef Tom etc. - but in the last vlog of hers I watched (months ago now) he was complaining a bit about her filming. I think they were golfing and he said something along the lines of 'Oh, you're not filming again, are you?' So maybe he's kind of over the whole vlogging thing. I haven't watched her much at all recently, but I won't miss him if he disappears from the vlogs.

They are not married, by the way. She's still waiting for that ring (it used to seem like she was waiting for a proposal way back when I watched her - not sure if she still mentions it) and Tom is still going on holiday with his mum every year and leaving Freya behind.

I've had a thought about Freya's psychology around the house/buying etc. I vaguely remember mention of her coming from a military family and moving around a lot so wonder if this explains her motivation about having a settled home at last.
She never talked about her last address as being permanent and they won their current house due to what they said to the vendors about what it meant to them/Freya getting the house.
You might remember more about this. I vaguely remember her talking about her thinking around possessions with having lived such a peripatetic life growing up. Maybe she wants her perfect home now.
She might not even realize the effect it is having on her.

Didn't she also mention that this isn't their forever home. Like wtf? The sellers accepted your offer because of your sob story!

Yes was going to say the same. They obviously want to make a profit and I think her bf is into property developing.

Surely it’s about time Tom put a ring on it. She seems the type who would want to get married before kids. She is 30 now so… maybe when the renovation content has dried up!

I do like watching the reno vlogs but I did make me laugh when she was holding up about 8 identical planks of wood trying to decide which one she likes. 1st world problems at its best 🤣

She was also stuck on which shade of white to have on the walls.
