Yes, the other company I mentioned - Jo loves is what Jo Malone runs now. She started as soon as the time restrictions from Estee Lauder who bought her company ended.Aren't Jo Malone products now nothing to do with the person Jo Malone? I heard Jo sold her company to a big corporation
So curated, so 'wholesome' but so for the gram/society life. I agree it must be tiring. Eat Smart was probably the peak. I wonder if there will be another book.She came across so boastful in the Paris vlog. I don't know what it is, but everything seems like it has to be sOoOo peachy or she can't cope with the image she's put out. It's becoming insufferable.
I'm finding it really hard to define anything I still like about her.

They were all copy and pasted from blogs. No way would she dare put out another book as gleam books these days rightfully get the criticism they deserve.I agree. I've actually wondered but never worked out, did all her recipes in Eat Smart really come from her alone? I wonder how long she worked on and kept tweaking the recipes before publishing them. I keep thinking some had to have been inspired by or bits and pieces taken from others.
But aren’t all recipe books like that thought ?! Most recipes are inspired by others etc. I love taking a recipe and tweaking it etc .I agree.

There's truth to saying there's nothing new under the sun. But so many gleam books like niomi's and Alfie's are nothing more than blatant rip offs. At least girl online had a ghostwriter rather than a copier and pasted.But aren’t all recipe books like that thought ?!

Right, I agree. I'm sure no matter how hard someone has worked, their knowledge of part of it came from someone before them. Like basic baking or breadmaking principles, say. But, I don't think she worked hard behind the scenes testing stuff until she, alone got it right. I think there was a lot of things handed to her and inspiration from other vegan cookbooks and tricks that had already come before. Just putting her own twist on it.There's truth to saying there's nothing new under the sun. But so many gleam books like niomi's and Alfie's are nothing more than blatant rip offs.

Exactly. It made me sick. Saw it when I logged in and couldn't believe that she had the gall to talk about insecurity and comparing yourself to others. And some mumbo about realizing people aren't perfect and have flaws. Ok then show a bit of yours? Otherwise you're just feeding this model of perfection that the people you're trying to cater to can't live up to.Her new video
I don't think she has the best authority got to talk about this when she is part of the problem
Niomi has decided not to follow them. She's always putting #gifted right at the end of a long post and not marking it as a paid partnership. She's one of the worst offenders and because she claims to be vegan and smiles gets away with alot.on various recent instagram postsshe has tagged "gifted" and "presstrip" but not ad.. I thought these kind of things needed to all be tagged as ad now, or am I wrong?
Ugh "kindly gifted".Niomi has decided not to follow them. She's always putting #gifted right at the end of a long post and not marking it as a paid partnership. She's one of the worst offenders and because she claims to be vegan and smiles gets away with alot.

I noticed a lot of them do this...when the rules first came out people were all 'I'm not marking it as an ad if it was just gifted!'. I'm sure you're supposed to be the ad/gifted at the beginning of the post as well.on various recent instagram postsshe has tagged "gifted" and "presstrip" but not ad.. I thought these kind of things needed to all be tagged as ad now, or am I wrong?
I really like Niomi and her book was good but anyone who says “kindly gifted” makes me feel a bit sick.Ugh "kindly gifted".
Although that is congrats to all the bloggers she copied the recipes from and the team the publishers employed to take photos, cook the food, style the food and edit it. Her work for the book she "wrote" started and ended at turning up for the glamour photo shoot for the cover.and her book was good
