I see Julia has created a very professional looking video to promote Dina’s art boxes. There was mention in a recent vlog that Nadia was going to show the content of the box...but no further mention? I know those boxes aren’t worth what’s being charged, but it’s the principle of supporting Dina with the project that I admire Julia for putting that effort in, and seeing as there won’t be much profit in the project, she’ll have done that for free and is giving the video as much exposure as she can by pinning it to the top of her Twitter.
It irritates me, not that I’d want to buy the art box, that all the times Dina cooks, picks things up from the shops, house and dog-sits, willingly appears in the vlogs for no gain to herself and who knows what else, including caring for their parents when needed...because I remember in the video where Betty took Maddie to LW and Betty went home ill, Nadia then vlogged later that day from her garden saying how worried she was for her mother and would know more when Dina sent her an update...so it’s clear if the parents need support it’s not Nadia who makes the effort to walk next door to do anything practical for them, even though she only works 2 days a week and Dina (might) Work 5.
So for all her sister does to support her, and yes she has mentioned and instagrammed the art boxes so hasn’t ignored Dina’s project, but compare that with Julia’s thought, time and effort into creating a professional advert that Dina could use far and wide to promote herself and and friends project, and you can see how little effort Nadia has put in.
Mark is a director ffs, so in theory has the skills to produce an advert, they live next door so could easily work together on it, yet it’s Julia who lives miles away who puts the effort in with nothing to personally gain by doing so.
It irks me that we don’t EVER see Mark or Nadia going out of their way to help/support others, everything seems to be completely on their terms, and they’ll only for example help Dina with her project if it suits them on that particular day to include it in a photo or vlog, and it’ll be minimum effort as they won’t tidy the background or prepare a script, or even bother to edit it to make it look as good as is possible.
It’s an example that has irritated me, but it’s representative of their whole attitude towards family and friends, we just don’t see them doing things for others, it’s very one-way and they only seem to do things with others if it creates ‘good’ vlog content (nanny di in the garden being the prime example), and nothing to actually help others just out of care, which they are so big-headed that if they did, I am 99% sure they’d be mentioning/filming it.
Gold!
