The way she shops is just bizarre. With most people- problem: need to air-fry this thing, solution: buy air fry thing. With her, she just hears a thing exists, buys it and THEN thinks about what she’s going to do with it.
Not arsed about how much money she spends, that’s her problem. Just think it’s a bit gross that she needs everything right now regardless of how much value it’s going to add to her life. The thought of it makes me feel a bit sad actually.
100% this. It feels like she will not attempt anything until she has the absolute top of the range stuff - clothes for hiking, the iPad for drawing, air fryer because it has to be the £200 one rather than a cheaper model to see if she actually gets use out of it before investing.
(More oversharing again): I actually do feel for her to an extent because I did the same thing a lot, albeit with much cheaper things, during my worst depressive period as a way to make me feel like I was being productive (eg. I bought a yoga mat that I never used for £5 and it made me feel good because 'now I'm all set to do yoga', then I'd feel worse for having all this clutter that I never touched and reminders of the fact I never actually did any yoga). I still do it sometimes now and have to remind myself not to buy everything I want, especially in lockdown where getting a parcel can be the most exciting bit of the day. Being an influencer is probably really negative on someone with that mindset and I really wouldn't be surprised if she was in debt because of this way of thinking.
Also, ngl, I think the trip to Curry's for roadside pickup is okay from a pandemic perspective. We all should be staying home but it's easy to get stir crazy, at least she isn't interacting with other people in doing that (for a change). Doing this is better than the 5x a week supermarket shops of the past and impacts less people. She should stay home because of the snow but for Helen, it's baby steps in the right direction lmao.
