Mikhila McDaid #18 Her haircuts always look the same, somehow her undiagnosed ADHD is to blame

[evoway13]

The way she dresses aside, I honestly thought she was 40 when i started watch her 5 or so years ago and that's no word of a lie or exaggeration! I think she could make this magical 40+ content now and her followers wouldn't bat an eyelid. I don't think she'd stick out as a sore thumb she's not in that age bracket if she stopped bleating on about her age.

She clearly thinks a rebranding and a more conscious effort to target an "older" demographic is going to bring in a new audience and more views. Its not going to happen after 10+ years.

I was about to comment she's approx 3 years in with no change to her subcount but thought I'd fact check that first and actually I'm wrong.... she's LOST 1000 subs

This is why she's complaining. If she just started a channel now, there's no way she'd even get near 100k subscribers. She got those subscribers from being a beauty vlogger. Her highest viewed video is 'Go blonder with John Frieda' at 673k views......and drugstore foundations at 321k views. Being her 'normal self' has made her views drop to dismal amounts. She's never going to get her views back to what they were.

She says this exact same thing every few months. I haven't even watched this latest one but it sounds like part of her usual rotation.

Not wanting to do hauls/ beauty any more
Just uploading what *she* wants
Can't find her niche/audience/ anyone else who films the content she's allegedly filming
Continues to vlog herself looking filthy and wandering around Primark

Repeat.

This is why I think she's bipolar: copied and pasted btw : People who live with bipolar disorder can often be affected or even triggered by the changing of seasons. Part of the reason that mood can be significantly affected during autumn and winter is due to daylight savings, where the clocks get put back.

I’m 41 and trying not to generalise but most of my friends my age are interested in:

Fashion
Beauty
Home
Health (inc menopause)
Relationships
Food
Education/ Raising their kids
Garden
Holidays/ travelling
Pets
Professional development

their other hobbies (anything from football, horse riding, running marathons, girlguiding, sports coaching to crafts).

their are definitely women in their 40s + doing this on various platforms already. She’s struggling to find her niche because shes Trying to do all of the above but not actually mastering one until she’s onto something else.

One of the best accounts I follow is the Monica way (does more on TikTok). She’s absolutely brilliant in front of the camera looks so put together and specialises in 2nd hand clothing- she does charity shops and vinted etc. but really talks about quality and how to style clothes that you will rewear over and over. She looks amazing and I find her really inspiring unlike rushing round primark cooing over Rita ora clothes my 16 year old is buying. I don’t think many women what ever their age need help finding clothes to slob around the house in.

This is all a facade to excuse the fact her channel has tanked. She doesn't belong because she can't make the contact she wants to until she's 40. She's found a gap in the youtube market but she cannot fill it until she has another 3 birthdays.... utter nonsense

So influencing today with Friday faves and fails then Mik

for someone who is selling mogs, you’d think she’d had posted a video today to get people to buy them…

 

[bystanderbynature]

Ahh don’t encourage her!

What I love is the constant Instagram posts saying “technical issue guys - it’s all sorted now, you can buy my candles/insert tat for sale this week” or “20% off for you guys”.. saving face way of advertising and getting rid of the crap filling up her house.

And the cheeky market research as she hasn’t got a clue what she is doing, this or this, ok and now, this or this? Bloody does my head in - lazy so and so!

She would have been better off taking up candle making as a hobby first. Setting up the shed as a work area. Taking time to perfect it. All I see now is someone trying to flog something that hasn’t particularly taken a long time to master- where is the confidence in the quality for the consumer?

If I’m buying something from a small business that I know I can get similar cheaper elsewhere, I want it to be an inspirational purchase. There’s a home account I follow who do fake flowers. I know I could go to the range and get something similar for half the price but the way she stages her house, the care she takes to show how to arrange them etc has led to a few purchases.

Exactly, make a business out of a hobby not the other way round.

Mik might have COVID. Or a cold. It's definitely not poor nutrition, erratic behaviour or breathing in concrete and wax scents. Just to be clear.

But according to the three-toothed uneducated Lee McTrump, Covid doesn't exist, remember? It is a lie and the government made it up to make money.

So she's got some kind of rash/ dermatitis and the answer is to smother it in 8hr cream? Did anyone else clock this health and safety nightmare!?

 

[Ugholhere]

Is it normal to put frothed milk into normal filter coffee? Just the thought of it makes me shutter 🫠
All her coffee concoctions she makes sound so gross, I don’t know how she manages to make coffee sound gross

 

[zebby]

UHT 'creamer' from the good ole U S of A (from August, not been refrigerated, let's think about how nutritious that might be), washed down with a Coke. I think we're beginning to piece together why you're always lacking in energy. I noticed a few comments saying the rash (for them) was peri-menopausal so we'll await a vlog addressing how she thinks she's PMenopausal (like all the other InstaHuns at the moment).

 

[Sunlifeover50]

Omg that utility room

 

[evoway13]

Isn't that candy twist table one of her charity shop finds that she painted for her 'coastal gromma with tv lip chic'????? ........it's now being wrecked with candle wax..........

 

[IrishName]

bleeping TV lip.

 

[Corgetta1]

She wreck more of her home with every manic episode she has. That poor family living with her hypermanic mood.

 

[BooksNCats]

Just watching her new vlog. According to our Mik, her moving a sofa after having a C-Section is proof that she has ADHD. I wish her the very best of luck with that diagnosis.

Also the state of her house, I could not live with that and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect her family to either. Risking being smothered to death while trying to stick a wash in 🫣

 

[Sunlifeover50]

I know we all live differently and some of these ott organising social media accounts do my head in but, The older I’ve got the more I can’t cope with crap all over my house. If it can’t fit in a cupboard it ain’t getting bought. Even those bags of coffee on her countertop would drive me crazy. I’d have to have them in a proper jar at the very least.

 

[bystanderbynature]

Forks sake - that hair brushing on her vlog..: made me feel anxious just watching her tug away rapidly at her hair. Jesus woman.. she needs go back to the gp re her mania. Nobody else will be able to help her, least of all herself.

Ooh and she has ocular dermatitis now guys - another shot for miks self diagnosis bingo!
---
And the milo bedroom one - god.. “this is the undiagnosed adhd in me, I measured something and wrote it down or forgot to write it down”… really??!?!!! This one needs a label, and adhd isn’t it. Man…

If someone has the generosity to send you some of their products at least take 2 minutes before filming to practice the name of the company. If you’ve been in email contact, it wouldn’t take a second to just confirm how to pronounce the brand. All I got from it was it’s rusty, expensive and not cosy, yet she proceeded to wear it all day, slept in it, did the school run in it and going back to bed in it. Let’s all go out and buy one….

She’s uploading a video each day in December creating a Christmas Island or something in animal crossing. Aye, great way to appeal to the over 40s market.
