Only work with brands who show the dollar
It’s spectacular to watch. Many floggers have storied about being transparent, labelling clearly, blah blah blah, but in reality they’re all guilty of it.
Just a message to all the influencees out there: These people are not your friends. They’re not your girl/boy next door. Theyre not the parents you meet on the school run, in the supermarket, at the drs surgery. They’re completely detached from reality. Who do you know IRL that gets sent a box of food to promote? Who do you know IRL who gets sent free toys/clothes/make up/holidays to DLP or wheverver it may be? I can bet it’s no one.
Social media (unless you follow dogsofinstagram) unfortunately will eat away at your soul and make you feel inferior. It will make you feel like you’re not good enough. It will make you feel like you’re not worthy with your £2 lippy as “everyone else” has their Bobbi brown lip balms. It will subtly make you feel like you’re not providing properly for your family as you work 40hrs + a week to save for your annual holiday, a week away with your family. It will make you question why you feel so knackered, defeated and underdressed without your hashtag gifted next coat and it’ll make you look in the mirror and question your mum tum as you’re getting ready for work, shovelling in a cold bit of toast because these other mums can afford PT sessions, gym memberships, hair and make up as they don’t actually live in the real world.
I hope that society start to see how toxic this industry really is. How damaging it is for those people scrolling through, feeling demoralised, not good enough.
You don’t see the tears, the sleepless nights, the arguments, the affairs, the pile of clothes on the landing. You see the heavily filtered, posed photos of what they want you to see.
It will take the asa to start fining instead of “warning” those who are guilty of it. It’s going to take time.
They’re working on the bigger dogs by the looks of it. The made in Chelsea stars, the TOWIE z listers, the pop stars. IMO they need to work on the “instamums/huns” as their target audience are as (if not more) vulnerable as the teens when they see all the BS that is being flogged. It wouldn’t be allowed on the tv, why is it allowed online?
I’ll get off my soap box now.
