Ah so you were also snooping on her phone screen? Give your head a wobble.

Was trying to look at stuff in the store. Dude’s yelling at her from 10-15 feet away, going the opposite direction. We crossed paths.
I noticed last year lots of people doing that in shops and restaurants. They seem to send one person in to buy for the entire family so you get a running commentary as they shop or look at the menu and then if you’re lucky they walk right into you when they turn to leave without buying.

She was primarily doing YT disney hauls then created a business personal shopping and mystery boxes. I believe she is friends w Jen. Pretty sure Jen has opened a box from her as well.
She lives in the UK.
Yeah, those are the dopes I saw in there. Just looked and apparently she's back on YT a couple weeks ago.
Interesting that I’ve avoided her so far! Lol
I wonder how that works being a personal shopper for people in the UK and declaring the proper costs of things when she arrives back at Customs. Likely fudges numbers like all these shady people.
Yes, Karen. She scoops up all the limited edition pins at DLP. Has her husband drive a huge rental truck to bring back stuff to create mystery boxes. She disappeared and shut down her shop without explanation about a year ago. Just popped back up on social media a couple of weeks ago promising to start boxes again. Very strange. I didn’t even notice she stopped posting. 
Was I the only one who has no clue what a “stretch goal” was and had to Google 
Her last earnings video was very detailed so I’d expect her to do another showing us the receipts for this alleged 6 figure income.
Now that I know what a stretch goal is I do have to laugh. Only someone married to a man who earns 200K+ could sit around making up stretch goals in flowerly notebooks and then slog it out for years. I mean I would also follow my dream if someone could finance it but it can come across as so tone deaf. I think when people lose sight of the circumstances that let them take chances, they start to believe it’s all hard work and a bit of “woo”. Then they get tone deaf and a bit insufferable.

Totally that! No clue what a stretch goal is nor do I care. But I think that these idiots really do “sell” a fake existence that people don’t realize is unattainable for the rest of us. I mean I’ve never had a spouse and have always paid the bills by myself. Sometimes working 1-2 part-time jobs in addition to my full time one. I made a massive change and went back to school at 43. Got govt funding but was also going to cash in some of my retirement investments. Then the day I was due to go to sign the paperwork, my banker informed me she had goofed and no, they weren’t redeemable. Thankfully my parents came through and gave me the money so I didn’t have to scramble for a loan while not working but that’s not my norm like some of these vloggers.
it’s hard work to build a channel, brand, etc so when someone has a spouse making 200k or Twattan with his endless money tree from mummy and daddy, etc funding their new hobby it’s really disingenuous. The amount of time most of us would need to save for the nicest laptop, camera, phone, let alone the actual trips and multiple trips a year at that! The average person with rent/mortgage, bills, etc is happy to just save for a one or two week vacation every year or two!

A grown ass able-bodied adult taking a Minnie Van over a regular Uber is a giant waste of money. Very few reasons to justify getting one. If you’re going to MK they drop off a pick up at the Bus depot vs. the TTC. Nice. Staying in an outer building at POR and are so tired you want to cry? Minnie Van will drop you off by your building whereas buses or regular ride shares cannot. Got car seat age kids and need to travel relatively quickly from one hotel/resort to the other? Minnie van is your best bet. Unless you fall into any of these scenarios, you don’t need to purchase a Minnie Van over a normal Uber or free Disney transport.
I used to really like Jen. She screams nouveau riche who wishes she was actually LOADED loaded. Really enjoyed her packing videos back in the day as I’m always looking for ways to downsize how much stuff I take with me when I travel. Then she got a bit of a following and became utterly obnoxious and pompous. I don’t care to know Augustine has served you multiple times on different cruises. He doesn’t like you anyways, just your tip money. He’s incentivized to be nice.
Omg poor Augustine. He must literally wonder “why doesn’t this witch take a cruise on a different cruise line for a change?!” The way she talks about the staff in some of her videos, she literally comes across as believing they’re her own personal staff, like the Real Housewives are with their Nannies and housekeepers. Like lady, you have a comfortable life because your husband is a pilot. You live in a cookie cutter suburban house north of ATL. You’re not rich rich by a long shot! Lol
I used to like her, too. She is now all about elevated experiences (club level, concierge, expensive clothing and accessories) and does come across as pompous. You said it perfectly. She has changed a lot. She used to seem like a really nice person and was humble. Now, she comes across differently, and it is as if we are supposed to give her money so she can sit around and drink coffee or tea and go to WDW for the umpteenth time. This would be fine if she were putting in the effort like this is her business (as she loves to tell us quite often). Her vlogs emulate Adam's style, where she barely puts any time into filming, editing, or even doing anything on these trips that interests the viewers.
She has been pushing her Patreon a lot recently and keeps writing about how it is the only way she can SHARE her trips and experiences. Guess all of these extra vacations drained the travel funds a bit. She even makes comments in her vlog addressing the IRS (as a joke) to ensure that she can write it all off. Most of her travel vlogs now are awful. She constantly mentions forgetting to vlog and doesn't really share much information. She isn't really a travel vlogger anymore. These are more like home videos, for the most part. She didn't used to be like that a couple of years ago.
Jen went from being likable and down to earth to being very unlikeable and pompous. Nobody wants to watch a privileged housewife unless it’s on Bravo lol
That was embarrassing.
She has two 35K sub channels. Not just one.
On one video I watched she tried to allege they once were tight for money but then she clarified that actually her husband was putting a huge chunk of his salary into his pension. Jen, how many people are earning so much that they can put a big chunk into a pension to ensure a very, very comfortable retirement and still have enough left to raise a family in an upper middle class suburb with all the trimmings. Please just be yourself. Don’t try to be down with the broke people and don’t try to fake like you’re filthy rich either.

I think she gets hella drunk off camera and has to sober up some to work her camera. She didn’t used to booze it up much at Disney and film it. She and Adam (mostly Jen though) got blitzed and acted like idiots. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for crushing a bottle of champagne on a special event or having a nice glass of scotch, but she’s kinda gone off the deep end. The Greece cruise when she’d get tipsy was straight up second hand embarrassing. If I was one of hers kids — that clearly avoid her at all costs— and she posted that on the internet I would be asking her to take it down and grow up.
OMG her obsession with Tory Burch is so bizarre to me. It is a nice women’s clothing line, but it is not the “it” brand it was 10 years ago. TB is also not high fashion, so stop acting like it is.
Don't forget her $2500 Burberry trench coat (although I think she paid less than $2000 in the airport Burberry store in Rome, but don't quote me on that). Somewhere around that time, she did a CLICKBAIT title saying she was BROKE.
After that video, she added the last-minute WDW trip with Adam, but she already had several more upcoming trips - Greece with her husband, another WDW Girl's trip, a concierge DVC Member cruise on the WIsh, and has mentioned more trips (Belize, maybe).
Unfortunately, I don't even enjoy her videos with tips and helpful information, although she rarely does those anymore. She loves to film her vlogs, where we watch her sip tea and look wispful, while she takes us along shopping and spending money or getting her hair done. Or the new favorite, twirling around in her outfits. I tried to hang on, but can't anymore. And, yes, the tipsy crap she left in was cringeworthy.
It’s the protests of “I’m not a drinker” followed by her being visibly tipsy that make it cringy. I can’t stand women who can’t handle 2-3 drinks and act like they’ve had 10 let alone a 50something woman doing it and filming it. Along with her trendy vegan pescatarian bull diet or whatever it’s called this week. Then trying other people’s food at the table that isn’t part of that diet.
The long haul flight tips were OK although she does sound very know it all in her explanations. I also find it hard to believe that a Delta pilot’s spouse with a higher tier FF status never gets gate upgraded. Every other airline employee/family member I watch does. Drop the money on a discounted friends and family rate on Delta 1 when you’re flying long haul. It’s not like she doesn’t spend it on hotel rooms and Disney cruises.
