If I have to hear about how hard she and her husband work one more time...
I've said it many times before, but hello generational wealth!

Also Luke, because you enjoy reading here, you may have used your savings towards your house, but an awful lot of those savings have come from all of your wife’s undisclosed ads and freebies (oops sorry, I mean, Pr Trips) 
The buggies alone would have saved you well over £1000! And the many, many free holidays…? Well I can’t even imagine how many £££ you’ve saved yourselves there!

It's very weird that she even mentions it so I was almost wondering if it was a case of the lady doth protest too much? But I don't see that it's so unusual to look like that at 34. She keeps mentioning her age like she expects women to be dried up old crones by their mid-thirties and it's some sort of miracle that she isn't!

Mais non! Surely your perfect French parenting couldn't possibly lead to this Manon?? Where did it all go wrong?
I initially followed her because I liked her recipes and even bought her first cookbook. Her posts reek of pure desperation. Tagging apples? Apples? Really???
At first I found it rather embarrassing and then amusing but now I find it rather sad. What items can be worth selling yourself and your children? I can't even imagine the level of stress it must cause having to remember to edit every part of your life to sell it to the highest bidder.
If she advertises everything it also devalues her partners. There has to be a modicum of trust as well as authenticity between an advertiser (as she now is) and the audience but that confidence is gone because she advertises EVERYTHING.
Her brand is utterly diluted. It feels like she senses this and she's now regrouping and will relaunch herself as some kind of "wellness guru", hence the event she's now pushing.
Those who know the price of everything know the value of nothing.

Yes, and the whole "my husband doesn't know his way around the kitchen and had never baked a cake before" is too weird. How did he look after himself before he met Manon? And I think she's said he doesn't get home until the kids are in bed?

Oddly I think since she has been pregnant first time - despite it being challenging times for most new mums, not Madame - she has got more irritating and show offey. Must be the hard life of wearing all the free clothes, taking free family holidays and days out, using all the freebies in her soon to be free new kitchen no doubt including free o ago food shops.. not sure that could pay for the house - sorry, townhouse.
but yes, it is all down to sheer hard work, and perfect decisions. Nothing else! That and her of course humble upbringings, with parents that are better than yours, in a country better than yours and with a lifestyle and food better than yours.. face rubbed in it enough?

Nope... she's showing the girl from behind to brag about her "natural highlights and natural curls, mermaid hair"... and to lead to the gifted kids' shampoo she is promoting in her next story...
Never miss an opportunity to advertise free stuff on your kid's back... literally.

I hate insta grifting, but do understand that it is a legitimate exchange of service for showcasing to her followers.
It’s an insidious creep of boundaries, particularly where children are being exploited; and especially so with Manon, who is incapable of correctly disclosing the commercial relationships she is promoting to her viewers. Her viewers are led to believe, by many things she says (example above) that she works hard to pay for holidays and nice things. That is very different to being paid in cash or in kind to share footage of yourself in a bikini with your young children on the beach and tours of luxury accommodation.
She is practically Judith Chalmers crossed with QVC at this point, except at least people know what they’re getting with travel telly or shopping channels.

She might be gifted a lovely ‘French kitchen’ far superior to a British kitchen but at least I buy my own knickers!

You'd think Niki could at least tell Manon that it's hyaluronic acid rather than hydraulic then!

Seriously? Gets all her vacations, clothing, toys, prams, furniture, food items, kitchen appliances plus the french dream kitchen for free... and has the audacity to whine about not not getting the brand deals she wants
Showing off her 160 £ Sezane dresses and french lingerie all the time, but doesn't care how she dresses? Who is she kidding?
At least she never misses an opportunity to let us know what a dedicated stellar mum she is...

The ASA is clear on this. Any mutually beneficial arrangement counts as payment, as does any other ‘reciprocal arrangement.’ Payment does not need to be financial.
She is the most blatant person I see doing this on Instagram. I don’t know how she keeps getting away with it. It’s relentless. Why not just correctly label it as an ad?

Walter is back - excellent comparison there! Her latest instagram post - hot in London so she wears cowboy boots? (Or whatever they’re called). Odd choice but there you go! Agree re the French thing, but I’d say her arrogance is becoming due to ££ now. More so that just being French. She’s been able to get to the good life due to her husband’s backing, can’t doubt that.
And last nights dinner - just mince and veg with tomato sauce. And we need to know her dear children adored it, how great she is at cooking for them and the recipe? Sorry this is just stuff my mam used to chuck in a pot when not sure what to do and fridge is empty. Hey - a touch of dried herbs (sorry herbed de Provence) and voila, it’s a plat typique from France?!
