If she had been serious about sticking to and following no spend January, her content should have been focused around that.
She shouldn’t be doing “what’s new in primark” people who don’t genuinely don’t have money this time of year aren’t interested in this. Instead are you going to have sheep watching and thinking ooh I really need a boxy top to be like Mrs M and away they go spending £12 they perhaps don’t even really have. I don’t care what she says either but as soon as she had to go £1.00 over her no spend she should have stopped the shite about being on a spending ban. If she was serious about following it through she’d have had the willpower to walk away from the tortoise shell earrings. Besides, what happened to her fast fashion mumblings she was blurting out at the end of last year? Didn’t last very long either that one.
If I was a youtuber and I wanted to follow the no spend, my content would focus around that. She could have done things such as a meal plan and shopping on a budget for a family of 5. Tesco is not cheap. Neither are the delivery costs, but she’s got to keep in with Tesco so she needs to be showing them in some way.. think along the subliminal lines of the water wipes. It wasn’t by chance she included the supermarket she was using. Yet remember just before Christmas when she had an affiliate link for a toy from Asda, she couldn’t get enough of them because they were SO cheap compared to Tesco ?
The room tour thing is another joke, and again a ploy to have people spend money they perhaps don’t have, just so they too can have a nursery fit for their own little chicken nuggets. I will be shocked if there are no affiliate links to anything she shares.
Instead of the £100 worth of lipsticks and Elemis and whatever else, since she’s not brand loyal, what about showing things like beauty on a budget? Not telling sheep to start off with a £25 lip tint that lets be honest didn’t make any difference to her lips that I could see!
Her girls have all these beautiful clothes, her too - in abundance and they are all gifted. What about a vlog showing them donating to a local charity shop? They will have things they’ve outgrown yet other children could get the use of. It’s still the middle of winter and there are children out there without a warm coat and shoes. She’s parading her children in their £180 ski suits and their gifted next winter boots.
I don’t care that she has these things. I’m not in any way jealous of her, her life, anything. I feel sorry for her. The way she shows all these things like a conveyor belt, she doesn’t appreciate it. She doesn’t believe they are “so so fortunate” their “once in a liftetimes” are bullshit. I worry for people like this because see if it was all gone tomorrow, where would she be?
This month should have been her chance to reflect and better position herself with her channel, her content, attempting to rebuild trust with her followers but instead she’s shown the very attributes of what the whole true meaning of no spend is all about. Greed personified.
