And the charity also offers her a shield against any criticism too. It's so calculatedShe is now actually using the horrendous experiences that NHS staff have gone through to promote her own personal ‘brand’. I don’t think she can sink any lower.
It doesn't have a mansplaining tone to me at allRe the curry discussion above, I get the whole mansplaining thing, but I would have broken myself laughing if, instead of responding’you have good taste’ he’d replied ‘STFU whitey’
I agree @melfishAnd the charity also offers her a shield against any criticism too. It's so calculated

It is for personal gain. It's brand-building in a national newspaperI looked at the Chilli Pickle website. One of them seems to have worked 'in hotels in Dubai' which apparently have very strong Indian influences
I don't know what to make of the Beauty Banks/Superdrug pushing in her column. Something about it does seem off. I know it is not for her personal gain but still. She could've easily written about care for front line NHS staff without mentioning BB at all. A bit self congratulatory? And the 'my charity'- not 'the charity I co-founded'.
I just had a look re the cruelty free aspect - not very easy to find. On the AHC website it doesn't mention cruelty free (which doesn't necessarily mean it isn't - but you would think it would be mentioned).Days later, neither the animal-loving vegetarian herself or AHC have replied...

I didn't realise it was part of a broader IG movement. Thought it was a Sali thing, like the strange noises she makes when she speaks
Quite. He sounded like an Asian man just being friendly and offering helpful tips. Sali, as ever, has seen, done and eaten it all so of course she has no time for him.And the charity also offers her a shield against any criticism too. It's so calculated

Just reads like someone a bit excited to talk about their cuisine
Contemptuous. Though she'd probably call it "sass"Gosh, she’s unpleasant
I fear she’d call it a woman being assertive, and thus any criticism of her is misogynistic and having an issue with a strong woman.Contemptuous. Though she'd probably call it "sass"
It's a really unappealing trait
I don't think it's anything to do with being a woman, it's being a decent and kind humanIt’s these sorts of replies that first made me wonder. But then I’d tell myself, why does she have to ‘be nice’ when she’s a woman - as I know I’d reply to messages like that saying something like ‘ooh yes, I agree, thanks’ but I’m a people pleaser and it’s probably not my best trait! I think women should do less of that. BUT - then doesn’t it work both ways, if you’re not going to try to make people like you, can you be so thin skinned when they make it clear they don’t?
If you don’t suffer fools gladly, then a thick skin might also be needed against those that think you’re a fool. Hence again, I could not be an influencer!
And his second, chickpea, suggestion was presumably vegetarian.I agree @melfish
He was clearly making pleasant conversation. Sali's snippy response would have been the same towards a woman, we've all seen similar responses towards women who have dared to comment
