Not to mention her mispronunciation of ‘pronunciation’ lmao
I don't criticise her for being proud of the country she was and raised in, but when I read that paragraph I couldn't help but to think the same! Would Lily say her own mum/dad are not English because their parents were not? So why say her friends are Nigerian and Guyanese when they were also born and raised in England? It's not something only Lily does, but it's a good reflection of how immigration is perceived when the said immigrant is white vs non white.Well Lily herself is third generation immigrant, as far as I know both sides grandparents immigrated during or before WWII. This is typical Lily privileged logic: she is white, and living in England so she is English, remember not just British, but English. The other non-white friends could not possibly be even British in her mind, but Nigerian and Guyanese. However, don’t forget that since the publication of this book she has spent an entire day educating herself on race and even has a BLM highlight, so let’s all rest assured she would never make this mistake again,.
haha WHAT AN INSULT! To Mariah of course - her instagram and product shots are literally art.This comment was probably sincere but I find this stuff hilarious.
I am more so disappointed that the editor did not picked this up, it was written in 2018 FFS, not 1998.Well Lily herself is third generation immigrant, as far as I know both sides grandparents immigrated during or before WWII.

I guess no one told her!Has Lily never looked at a dictionary to see that pronunciations are literally written out? She could caption those stories easily. She's just being lazy af
She’s lucky she has an ‘office’. I’ve moved back home to my Mums this year due to a relationship breakdown. Thankfully I’ve always had a bedroom at home but I’ve had to make-do with working at the kitchen/dining table, sometimes sat on my bed replying to emails! She’s so entitled it’s untrue.We are all improvising with working from home indefinitely at the moment, everybody has had to designate different areas in their home as an office, even though that used to be someone’s gaming, sewing or shoe storage room. I’m always on calls with colleagues and hearing their partners in the background on calls for their work. Nobody speaks of “my office” anymore if that’s the place where both are currently working.
It fascinates me that Lily and Anna are so privileged to have a whole room to make their office, but from what I can see, they both appear to work directly on their laptops, from fashionable but impractical furniture.She’s lucky she has an ‘office’.

I would LOVE a study; I’m doing a PhD so you can imagine I have books/print offs all over including notebooks, sticky notes etc... it gets messy! I do have a desk at my university but I haven’t been there since March!It fascinates me that Lily and Anna are so privileged to have a whole room to make their office, but from what I can see, they both appear to work directly on their laptops, from fashionable but impractical furniture.
I get that external hard monitors aren't mid century modern and ugly ergonomic chairs aren't very Scandi, but why wouldn't you set up a comfortable work station if you have the space?!
I think they've both got massive desktop Macs (Lily certainly does, she has to move it whenever Rich needs to use the desk), but they both still seem to prefer using their laptops. It's almost like they... don't spend much time working on the computer or something?It fascinates me that Lily and Anna are so privileged to have a whole room to make their office, but from what I can see, they both appear to work directly on their laptops, from fashionable but impractical furniture.

Agreed, it's shoddy work. That said, the poor editor probably earns only a fraction of what Lily does, and will be juggling so much.I am more so disappointed that the editor did not picked this up, it was written in 2018 FFS, not 1998.
Exactly. Not only that but they barely create anything as well. Back in the day, when neither of them had a dedicated office room, they used to put out a lot more content. And before Lily goes all "But I only work 2 days a week now because I'm a mom!," just stfu already and stop making excuses for yourself. Lily could afford to hire someone to edit her videos if she wanted. Then she would be able to vlog both on "work days" and "Grey days," and all she'd have to do is just send the footage at the end of the day for someone else to edit. She can hire someone to create her thumbnails as well. It's really not that hard to figure out. Once upon a time she used to post two videos a week. Heck, she even did vlogmas for several years! Now she can barely manage one video a week and a glorified one-hour phone call with her friend (the podcast).It fascinates me that Lily and Anna are so privileged to have a whole room to make their office, but from what I can see, they both appear to work directly on their laptops, from fashionable but impractical furniture.

I hope your research is going well and you haven’t struggled too much with resources due to Library access restrictions this year.I would LOVE a study; I’m doing a PhD so you can imagine I have books/print offs all over including notebooks, sticky notes etc... it gets messy! I do have a desk at my university but I haven’t been there since March!
Aw thank you - I actually had my progression meeting today and I passed so I must be doing something right! Luckily most of the reading I need has been online, it is just the social aspect of things I’ve missed out on xI hope your research is going well and you haven’t struggled too much with resources due to Library access restrictions this year.
But getting mugged is such a London thing, Lily.I also messaged her about the whole map thing saying it was tone deaf and offensive. Just looked back at her reply and she said it was more about women running alone in London and that she had been mugged on her road before, makes sense with her not wanting to leave the house but again not something people would use against her...
I said LESS capsule like WAAAAY LESSAnna has questions up on instagram looking for feedback on her content - I replied telling her 'LESS LILY!!!!!!'
