So she is claiming to love small companies that produce their own items. Oh SJ you only like them because they are FREE. You also like John Lewis (HUGE RETAILER) who furnish your rooms full of furniture for free, you love companies who can give you free flooring, you are happy to produce a cooking video for Tesco because they pay you, £1000 outdoor log burners, indoor log burners, free artwork, HelloFresh, you are even happy to be PAID A FEE to promote a hunger CHARITY through ASDA who you don’t even shop with ..and the list goes on and on! Where’s your expensive vitamin tea gone that you were trying to flog and even hinted it may help during the pandemic Only saw you recommending it when it was an AD. Not to be seen again! No morals - no values. SJ and the instamums are all the same. They only recommend or share because they’ve been paid to or gifted for free. I’d have more respect for her if she said that she had actually paid for HelloFresh and shared why she liked it so much. It would mean a lot more, than when she only talks about it for an AD.
She’s also clearly wealthy enough - why not give to refuges/ charities? Give bikes to children who don’t already have one? Donate instead of taking stuff all the time? It becomes like an endless shopping channel. Stop the swipe ups- just share information for free. To think I actually liked her account when she first started it. I don’t follow SJ anymore, but will still say my bit on tattle, because I believe social media can be damaging to people’s mental health and we need to have that debate about what influencers are doing and how they can have a negative effect. If we don’t discuss it then nothing will ever change. I’m thinking of the younger generation who will grow up thinking this is all ok. Growing up with an air of entitlement. Thinking it’s normal to document everything about daily life, and to rely on the validations of others. People thinking they must buy something, or they want to aspire to have a lifestyle like SJs and feel inadequate. I want my children to work for their success, be their own person, think for themselves, and help others - choosing inspirational role models to look up to, not mums on insta who couldn’t give a crap about you.
I am also totally against these mums using their children for content and to help them promote goods or services. If a child is too young to have a social media account, I think they should not be flaunted online for strangers to view and comment on. Let them be. Give them their privacy. Justalittlethought......
