Living through this shit storm of a pandemic has made me really see influencers for what they really are. The lack of awareness Danielle has shown since this started is actually beyond belief. She obviously isn’t stupid, she is degree educated and has a professional job, surely she can grasp the concept of empathy?!?!?! (I know there is muuuuch more than that to being emotionally intelligent but ya get me).
One of the things that has pissed me off if is that she doesn’t ever seem to ground herself. Eg I keep getting annoyed at the fact that I feel like my life is on hold (lol, I’ve been single for almost two years, times are hard) but whenever I feel like that I remind myself I'm actually lucky as fuck because I have a secure job and roof over my head, I’m young(ish) and healthy and my family and friends have all stayed safe. Danielle NEVER seems to recognise her position?! And then on the flip side she never acknowledges she’s having a hard time in any way deeper than “Omggg guyssss I’m sooooo sad I can’t go shopping!!!!!!” If she said she was having a hard time being isolated from friends, family, normality then it would be different but I think she can fucking cope without going to H&M.
FINALLY, I just wanna say, all of this is literally the problem with ex-diet accounts turning themselves into LiFeStYlE and fashun (Keelie whatever she’s called now and Char Louise I'm looking at you). I am all for people making a bit of money on insta, I honestly think go for it mate but also none of them actually give a fuck about their followers, and most of them don’t have the personality to make following them worth it.
Also the Tesco veganuary stories were a joke.
