Why feel the need to comment at all? The OP is specifically looking for people who have used them, not people who haven't. She would only need to ask herself if that's the case
Coz she is a natural expert at everything, even the stuff she’s never tried
If she felt she had to reply why not just say 'people I know who use them rate them'? Why insert the judgy 'I never use gyms'?
Her entire bleeping book is like this. It is dire.
Too early for a thread title nomination?!Coz she is a natural expert at everything, even the stuff she’s never tried
I’m still boggling that someone at her publisher said this was such an original idea for a book. It wasn’t even original 20 years ago let alone now - India Knight (shudder) & Rita Konig et al did very similar ‘guidebooks for living’ yonks ago. Like glossy women’s magazines, they kind of made sense back in the day if you wanted to know how people of taste & style roasted a chicken or what they have on their nightstands…but nowadays with Instagram & YouTube it seems a completely redundant idea. Especially for someone like Sali who never seems to entertain, never looks put together & whose home decor is nothing special.
Will she be pronouncing "because" like an adult human or will there be a few takes for her to shake it off.
The book looks like ones I used to see at the library back in the 90s - the layout, the colours and the content, very light on actual useful info and quickly gathering dust. It's already dated.

Yes it seems such a dated odd book.
Is it to be read through or consulted as problems arise like a manual? As so many others have said if I want to roast a chicken or look for advice on grieving or candles I'll either Google, use my common sense or look at specialist books.
I just can't see who this appeals to. Excluding hard core Sali fans and there can't be that many of them to justify it.
This is key for me. When there are influencers / experts for everything, why would anyone look to her advice about things she's not known for?
Mama DragName does this to me on social media all the time. But, she does it because she is trying to be helpful and involved in my life, not because she has to muscle in on everything with an opinion! (Although sometimes she will google things for me on my behalf when I am seeking an honest to god opinion from someone who has been to a place/done a thing/used a trades person). Bless her. Maybe she should write a book! She’s a pensioner and there’s a cost of living crisis. The royalties might help her out this year.
I feel like Sali's response would be fine/normal if you were hanging out with friends and someone asked this question, a quick not me personally but I know people who like it, fair enough. But there is no need to type it out and send it on twitter when the person you are responding to is literally on their phone/laptop already and could google and get this response if they so desired.
Sali is constantly showing that she has zero reading comprehension.
I absolutely
this post!@particularparsnip 100% agree. No need to answer a question that wasn't directed to her if she didn't know the answer. Just another way of saying 'I do nothing' (apart from the super expensive exercise bike and intermittent fasting)
It's like those responses in the 'Ask a question" section on Amazon listings when a potential buyer will ask about a listed item, something like "Is it suitable for...." and some random will reply, "I don't know, my wife bought it for her mother but it didn't match her decor so she sent it back".I absolutely

Not to be Sali about it but I watched that video when Trinny first posted it. Absolute Gold. I’m no Trinny fan, I find her overbearing and her assumption that it’s perfectly ok to cut another woman’s hair without asking sums her up for me. I stopped watching her because she had zillions of fans asking her for beauty and skincare advice and she was talking absolute shite and just recommending what she used (and making wildly inaccurate claims about what they could achieve). Her skincare knowledge is near-zero, it certainly was when I watched her in those days, maybe it’s improved since. The videos were nuts though, just her and her iPhone sellotaped to her bathroom window, with the occasional assistant crouched behind her on the stairs. Absolutely batshit. Her fashion and styling advice stuff was better as it was much more in her wheelhouse.OMG, I’ve not seen that, what was Trinny thinking?
I detest Trinny.
Oh bloody hell. What’s worse than Sali’s rules to live by book? Her narrating the audiobook version. Never before, in the history of ever, has anyone been less suited to the job of audiobook narrator. The gasps, the gulps, the sniffs, the general clacky mouth sounds and changes in pace of speech. Heinous.
Trinny is absolute gold, I agree @GossipMongoose. Proper posh people madness. Did you ever see the Trinny bathroom video where she was using hair mousse and couldn’t open the can so threw it into the bin and got another one? She carried on for a while oblivious to the foam apocalypse happening next to her in the bin and she couldn’t contain it and it went bleeping everywhere? I have searched for it but can’t find it again. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen on a live, except for during lockdown 1 when she was out of cotton wool and was dying her eyelashes so used the insides of puppy training accident pad things under her eyes. She is very good value, ol’ TrinTron
Even worse, it’s a dogs nappy
Anyway, sorry for derailing!

I heard about that but didn't see it - thankfully. Even this image could benefit from a bit more pixelation.Apologies in advance for derailing but your post just reminded me of the best (worst) Trinny live - when Saatchi made an unexpected appearance
