healthyfitbella_ is a Limerick Instagrammer who owns Limerick restaurants La Cucina and La Cucina Centro her Italian husband. She has been blogging for years, sharing recipes and her story of how she beat breast cancer, lost weight and got in shape. Now she's a crossfit nut whose Instagram following soared during the pandemic when everyone was/is cooking from home. There's much to like about her: how forthcoming she is about her cancer battle and her recipes, which are divine. But I can't help but think how many of these are from her husband's family, who own a popular Italian restaurant in Limerick.
My main issue is the bit of a smell of want off of her? She begs A LOT for likes and shares and seems overly focused on the number of followers she has. I also noticed that recently she asked people their opinion on a fitness clothing brand, admitting she had never worn any pieces from that brand, but a few stories later shared her "favourite" pieces from the brand, all with swipe ups and affiliate links. Why is it our job to line your pockets, Restaurant Owner?
She is also known to harp on about how "tiny" she is getting because she can't pump iron at crossfit because of the mean, mean pandemic. My heart bleeds! And while her username says healthy, most of her recipes (while yummy) are packed full of oil, butter, cheese and cream.
