Haha the 3rd screenshot perfectly captures how her head and neck are always protruding forwards, she does this a lot, straining or general bad posture I don't know but it looks bad.Every time she posts cringy videos like this I like to think Joeyyyyyyyyy and his brother just sit rolling in laughter at her while drinking beer and eating carbs
Man, it must be so boring to be her. Joey should feel incredibly lucky that he'd managed to escape before this lockdown startedI think the reasons she’s having to “worker harder” for motivation during this lockdown is because SHE HAS NOTHING to work on.
Presumably before she had her “skincare” line and Joey to babysit. It must be hard to fill your days when you have literally NOTHING to do but downward dog. What most people do just in between their work is her entire existence
Most people right now aren’t worried about ‘motivation’ because they have to do things. Does she think parents who are struggling financially to put food on the table and keep a roof over their kids heads are at all concerned with being ‘motivated’ to work? More like most people are desperate to keep their jobs and homes. Having to worry about motivation like it’s a choice you have is a privilege in itself. So freaking tone deaf yet again. And on that note I see she’s said nothing about the abysmal £5 worth of food that the government’s supposed £30 children’s lunchboxes are providing.I think the reasons she’s having to “worker harder” for motivation during this lockdown is because SHE HAS NOTHING to work on.

maybe it’s the oriental room?Does each room in that house has a different theme? because what the eff is going on that room.
I'm 'motivated' as I desperately need to hold onto my job! What a joke.Most people right now aren’t worried about ‘motivation’ because they have to do things.

I guess it’s not. Which is WEIRD!!She's started her own skincare brand which so far has been a flop, I mean is that not enough motivation for her to work harder? Probably had very little input which is why she's so indifferent and lazy. Ren and Origins probably pay more.
"Not an influencer" Niomi:I haven't watched that video ( they are all so painful to watch these days) so if she's not an influencer than what is she according to her? She's not a model or a celeb, she's not anything really.
You’re so right. And much as I sometimes pray for an easier life, you couldn’t pay me to be a fading influencer these days. The panic must be setting in.I would imagine her income has taken a real dive over the past year and she's probably shitting bricks about it. [...] Where do you go from there?!
I also wonder if in Niomi’s case in particular, getting engaged to Joe spurred her on with the skincare range because she thought she was about to marry up. She must’ve lost so much work bringing out her own line, and surely her management would know that even if she was naive about it. I bet she’s been turning down jobs etc - then the sudden wild influx of tonnes of ads when they split and she realised she had to try and pick up work again. But damage must’ve already been done.You’re so right. And much as I sometimes pray for an easier life, you couldn’t pay me to be a fading influencer these days. The panic must be setting in.
Agree with your whole post, and yes their dream is definitely for everyone to be a passive consumer - spot on.ohhhhThank you so much, and glad I could provide some entertainment You know... these forums get a bad rep and while I admittedly can see why, I honestly do think they provide a platform for some truly insightful and interesting conversations around the ‘new’ public sphere that is social media. It’s telling that many of the issues we pointed out to years ago are now being legislated about by governments around the world, eg undisclosed sponsorships or the displaying of children on the internet. Back in the day influencers would have complained that the people on “hate forums” were being unfair for saying that they disclose when they were being paid to name a product, but clearly we were raising legitimate concerns. I also find it funny how all these influencers seem to think that the people behind the forums are just a bunch of lonely, bitter losers when it’s pretty clear to me that many of us are actually highly educated (often far more than the influencers in question), well-rounded individuals. I would just love for them to know what I (and you all) do in real-life—I bet they wouldn’t believe it. Seems to me like the very reason most of us end up here is because we actually have critical thinking skills and a capacity to question/analyze the content we consume, which is actually so essential. Influencers like Niomi would like their viewers/followers to just remain passive consumers, to swallow everything they throw at them without giving it a second thought, but that’s not the reality and should never be.
Definitely one (of many) who perceives themselves to be well above their audience. Always a big mistake.So sososo true! If they could see pictures of the people criticizing them, and the lives we lead they’d see most of us are not the “stereotypical viewer”. These people don’t realize what most people have to do to get decent employment. Which is WORKING REALLY HARD, (just like the influencers say they do). When you’re making so much money so easily, I’m sure they do have a “god like” persona they subconsciously subscribe to. The hardest part about being an influencer is you’re ability to take criticism and transform in. NONE of these people are capable of that.
What an awful experience, I'm relieved for you that you tested negative for covid19, viral infections are still very nasty so i hope you feel stronger soon.Apologies in advance but rant ahead -
Okay so I never thought I was going to post this but for the last week I have been really unwell. I had aches/pains, feeling hot (without actually having a high temperature), stomach pain and tingling all over my body. I spoke to two different doctors, the first one last Thursday told me that I didn't have classic Covid symptoms and advised me to ring back if I got more severe symptoms. When I got worse on Saturday the second doctor told me I probably had gastroenteritis. Neither recommended going for a Covid test. On Sunday evening I still had all the same symptoms. Around midnight I woke up with bad chest pain (along with all the other symptoms), by 5am I was in agony as it felt like someone had repeatedly stamped on my chest. I called 111 and the doctor told me he was going to get me an ambulance as it sounded like I was possibly going to have a heart attack in the next hour. I was filled with complete anxiety, scared of what lay ahead.
Upon arriving at the hospital around 6am, they didn't know whether I had Covid or not so they put me on the ward with all the Covid patients. As I was deemed too high a risk to be put with the 'normal' other patients. Over the next few hours I had various blood tests, ECG's, blood pressure tests, temperature checks, a cannula inserted into my arm and a chest X-Ray. After about an hour of being admitted I was told it was time for my first Covid test. Please bear in mind I have a phobia of choking and I find it very difficult to swallow tablets generally. So having a swab put in my mouth made me freak out a bit, aside from all the additional anxiety I had from being ill all week not knowing if I had Covid or not, doctors not taking me seriously and a possible heart attack. The test was very difficult and I hadn't had a drink since 10pm the previous night, so my mouth was very dry. The test was horrid, it took a few attempts but I finally managed. Around an hour and a half later I was told my Covid test wasn't conclusive enough and I would need to do a second one much to my horror. I asked the nurse for a drink of water, thinking it might help if my mouth wasn't as dry as the first attempt. She refused saying water could wash away some of the potential Covid. Then the other nurse came to take my second test. She starting shouting at me, telling me to put my hands behind my back (I felt like I was being arrested!) as she told me she thought I might get violent with her due to my earlier struggle with the first test. I was crying hard at this point and I tried to reassure her I wasn't but I was just really scared/anxious. She told me to get a grip and that I wasn't helping by prolonging the procedure whilst shoving the swab repeatedly in my mouth.
To cut a very long story short my Covid test came back negative and all my other tests were clear. It turns out I have a very bad viral infection and I need to rest for the next two weeks. A lot of the chest pain was to do with my anxiety around my initial symptoms. So I was allowed to go home seven hours later. During my time on the Covid ward new people were being admitted every 25 minutes which was scary to see and nearly all of them around me were positive, so I was really worried I may catch something. One guy who was in the bed opposite me was 34 years old. He came in coughing and within around an hour he had an oxygen mask on as he could barely breathe. It was heartbreaking to see.
I think the point I am trying to make here is that it angers me so much that all these influencers (Niomi included) for the last few months have been swanning around without a care in the world. Breaking rules, not wearing masks or staying at home. Thinking none of this guidance applies to them. Moaning about how the restrictions are making their lives difficult. After having such a horrific time in that Covid ward yesterday, I wish more people would realise how deadly this virus is and how it is very real.
Sorry for the rant but I was angry with Niomi before but experiencing this has taken my anger to her and these stupid influencers to a whole new level.
