I think if you look at all the influences who came out at the same time. Carys, Elle, Grace... they all started with what was ‘on trend’. Which at the time was fitness. They earned their money. They moved on. Home renovations, engagements, merch, body positivity.... it’s all the same.
They’re not into any particular realm of influencing. Just whatever is particular interesting at that time.
I think for Carys to say she wasn’t healthy and won’t get a job etc on her throwback post is wrong in many ways. She made a fortune selling her guides at the time, relentlews plugging, filming full days of eating saying how there was NO restrictions, she was always comfortable, always ate how and what she wanted. Basically. She’s a fraud. It’s easy in hindsight to say ‘oh I wasn’t happy’, if that’s the case - pull your fitness guides you created and ‘followed’ when you were so unhappy and restrictive. It’s like she’s made her dollar from it. Now she’s distancing herself from it.
I could go on. But. Yeah. So over Carys. She was one of the ‘influences’ I enjoyed as she was open and honest. I don’t think she struggled at all during her fitness phase. I call bullshit just so she can now gain money from being ‘bigger’.
or maybe they don't have a choice because they have to EARN money
I cant with the consumerism and spending and materialism. Why would you do that.
