but the times comments 
It's all part of desperation to prove she isn't like other influencers. She paid thousands for a designer dog breed like every other influencer, but guys, she enquired about dogs with health issues first!! How selfless!!Doth she protest too much? Every story grace tells has way too many pointless details, almost like they aren’t quite true
And yeah, I remember her justification of getting Ziggy was that she got her travelling out of her system and she wasn't planning to go on holiday for a long time... then went to Dubai a few months after getting him.

All joking aside, I have seen so many excerpts/pages/notes of this book, stuff people have put up, shared stories, stories directly from Grace and I literally have ZERO idea what the book is about, haven't seen 1 single, useful point that somebody could implement into their lives or one piece of writing that I got through without feeling like I was having an aneurysm.
It literally just feels like she's written a book about virtually nothing, a culture and environment that she helps create and stereotype and I can't tell which side of the fence she's on, is it good or bad to work hard or hardly work? I am so confused.

Long time lurker, first time poster...
Basically, I can't stand Grace
short and simple.
So you know how Meggan Grubb launched her own fitness app, Beyond, at the beginning of the year? Well over the past few week the have changed the Shreddy colour scheme from pink and yellow to blue - beyond colour scheme has always been blue. Shreddy's Instagram feed is suddenly looking more like Beyonds. Beyond has always had a journaling feature, Shreddy is launching a journaling feature. Beyond had a 40% off sale last week, Shreddy has a 40% off sale now. Can we say threatened much?

Lmao ‘torrents of abuse’, do you mean your customers complaining on your businesses IG pages because you’ve sold them faulty products and they can’t get a reply off the customer service email?
God she is so fragile haha

I once sent her a lovely message, she chose to screenshot it and share it all over her stories but couldn’t actually manage a personal message back thanking me!

ah yes the heartwarming tale of a boy educated at a private school with boarding fees of £39k a year, defying all odds to go onto an oxford university education

I just feel like ‘announcement culture’ is only a problem experienced by influencers and people who live their lives through social media. I have literally never felt pressure to announce anything that is going on in my life on social media

I think the fact that she thinks “announcement culture” is a thing, just goes to show what her own mindset is like.
so I’ve just managed to actually read her post and I’m confused. She seems to be suggesting that people including herself do work and tick things off the list just so they can “announce” they have done it on social media, ie when she posts her long to do lists or working late at night etc.
Correct me if I’m wrong but surely people who have actual proper jobs, HAVE to do the work they have been given to do as they have deadlines to meet? We don’t post our lists of things to do on social media as though we are playing at adult life with a job? It seems like she’s referring to the influencer world rather than the real world.
Although, I may well have completely got the wrong end of the stick because it’s hard to make sense of what she is saying. To me, if “announcement culture” had to be a thing, I would say it’s where people priorities posting things like engagements and pregnancies on Instagram over being in the moment and so on.

Fully agree! It doesn't make her a bad person that she was born into her family and given opportunities, she just needs to acknowledge and own it. Like you say it's all surface level, she thinks voting for Labour and scraping together a pathetic story about babysitting makes her like the rest of us.
I think she missed a trick by not writing a tell-all book about the world of being privately educated in London, how it sets you up for Oxford etc (like people do with Harvard and stuff), I'd find that way more interesting and honest than a silly book about how to write a to-do list and become a millionaire suddenly. I think people wouldn't give her half as much flack for that as she's opening up and admitting her privileges, rather than constantly sweeping it under the carpet.
how does someone who is always going on holiday have a "dog friendly lifestyle"?Doth she protest too much? Every story grace tells has way too many pointless details, almost like they aren’t quite true
I read this and had to come here. Everything she's shown from her book sounds SO PRIVILEGED and like she thinks the rest of the world relates to her influencer lifestyle. Most people aren't hustling because they want ~to feel productive~, it's because they can't afford to not work 24/7. Same with the gig economy excerpt. I rolled my eyes so hard. Only privileged people sees spare time as time to make money because of pressure to work work work and not because they can't pay their bills if they relax. Fuck off Grace.
Honestly, this is what makes me think she wrote it herself because "accelerating the slow fashion space" is such a ridiculous oxymoron that I feel like only she could come up with. Slow fashion is inherently anti-consumerist - it's about resisting the urge to impulse buy, buying secondhand before buying new, reducing the amount of items you buy and ensuring those that you do purchase are good quality. TALA doesn't really hit any of these goals. Just because something is made out of recycled polyester doesn't mean it's slow fashion.

She’s also so predictable. Literally never engages on her social media unless she thinks she got this HILARIOUS reply to clap back with. On that post just before book lunch she’s decided to get involved in convos
announcement culture (like hustle culture) is Antonine thing weird z list influencers have invented for themselves and now moan about. I don’t know anyone in real jobs who would dream of bosting about a to do list
only a thing for these instagrammers who are constantly trying to prove they have a job 
also classic plagiarism by grez. Does she think she’s invented this analogy (obviously added more words than the original because word count= hustle= success). “Quoted myself” “share brains”. No you’re both just referring to a VERY famous phrase?

“When you think of someone who’s fulfilling their purpose, I don’t think of a job like being a doctor or a humanitarian worker any more, even though those careers are exceptional worthy.” Beverley says “I think of an Instagrammer, someone who can work from anywhere, doing something that’s hyper-lucrative and hyper-fulfilling. That is seen as the ultimate goal and it you’re not doing that, you’re doing it all wrong.”
WHAT. Did she actually say those words?? Is she joking???
