I highly doubt her Sister wants or needs Maddie's cast off kitchen worktops or old chairs ect. If it really is the case, then her Sister is setting a far better example than Maddie does.
Another thing that's winding me up is she keeps on saying her sister will have this or that, did her sister have nothing in her home until Maddie was renovating? Did she live with no bath, no table or whatever else Maddie is offloading in her direction
You're right! Seems impractical, especailly given all the renovation work they've done, not to have some sort of exhaust. I think you can get hobs with little exhausts that sit in the bench now too? I saw one on IG. It sort of popped up a few inches when needed while cooking. But I don't believe she has one.Does she not have an exhaust fan above the electric hob built into the island? In a recent vlog she was saying how steamy the kitchen was while cooking. Wouldn’t it smell really bad with no fan to clear out the cooking odours? And all the steam would have nowhere to go
I do think that she'll keep the items she's bought for a very long time but replacing things because you don't like how they look is not sustainable. She buys so much stuff, is having work done rather than repairing things, whilst lecturing people who are likely buying fast fashion because they can't afford expensive linen fox items. So infuriating, isn't it?
it’s so infuriating, the thing is no one is perfect we are all trying our best to do the least harm and least damage to the world we live in (at least I asssume those who watch Maddie are at least veggie and an environmentalist to some extreme). I always think about when I went vegan and someone asked about what cleaning and toiletry products I use, and I remember being a bit embarrassed that I hadn’t really thought much beyond food, leather and beauty products. But I took it on and tried to improve. Whereas Maddie cannot take any criticism. She won’t keep all these items, she didn’t from her last place either. But if anyone mentions it it’s attacking, bullying, trolls etc.it shows her ignorance. how long has she been a "minimalist/sustainability influencer"? nobody starts off knowing everything but by now I'd expect her to have educated herself about these issues. It's baffling to me that she thinks she can mention thrifting here and there in order to make herself seem more sustainable, when she's ripped out half her house unnecessarily and bought (been gifted) hundreds of things to fill it with!
I can understand why they moved in such a big house if they're planning on having a big family. but if they're not then... the only reason they've got such a mansion (because that#s what it is to a lot of us!) is out of greed. Not that it's any of our business if they want children or how many. but I am going to criticise a self-professed minimalist for upsizing into a giant home when their previous one was enough space for a couple and their pets.
I'm neither vegetarian nor vegan. I started watching her videos as I related to the minimalist/sustainable lifestyle she promoted at that time. Now I watch her in disbelief at how easily she let her values slide when the money started to roll in.(at least I asssume those who watch Maddie are at least veggie
never thought of that before but now you mention it, it's so true! I've noticed her love (and reliance!) on packaged snacks and processed vegan foods. if she really loved to cook so much surely she wouldn't want to eat these all the time? here and there, yes. but she almost lives off them when she's not cooking somethig for one of her videosif she wasn't vlogging I don't think she would cook at all because she's far more interested in either eating out or packaged and pre-prepared meals and snacks.
I was thinking that yesterday - she was scoffing a mince pie in a very nigella wayI get the feeling that these days she is trying to brand herself as some kind of vegan/style/decor Nigella
that comment is wrong though, it is legal to forage. You can pick anything growing wild (fruit, flowers, funi, and foliage) on any land as long as it is for personal consumption (Section 4 (Property) of the Theft Act (1968)) - not that hard to find if you google. Monetising the video doesn't mean what maddie foraged for is no longer for personal consumption, she's the only one who used what she foraged. there's a lot of things maddie can be criticised for but this isn't one of them, in my opinion.I lolled so hard
"Also if it for financial gain it is illegal. Unless your video was not monetised on this occasion?"
I never thought about this! If it's in a monetised Youtube video, is definitely not for personal use
I stand corrected. Probably more accurate to say people who watch at least began because she is sustainable, vegan or minimalist. Because in the nicest possible way, even when I really liked her content and watched it all the time it wasn’t for her personality aloneI'm neither vegetarian nor vegan. I started watching her videos as I related to the minimalist/sustainable lifestyle she promoted at that time. Now I watch her in disbelief at how easily she let her values slide when the money started to roll in.
Nigella Lawson, very famous TV chef who is known for her provocative cookingWho is Nigella? Youtuber? Recommendation or not?
Yeah the Frame TVs look good I think, but they still look like televisions. Not artwork.Surely putting an antique frame around a TV isn't going to fool anyone that it's a painting?! She wants the 'Country life' old fashioned aesthetic but still wants to watch her trashy reality shows on a 55" flat screen!
If you pay to have sky and an X box, then you obviously enjoy watching TV, so why the snobbery over it?
