Those stories were her begging for sponsorship, nothing more. Elements and her already have an existing relationship and that's why she's there; the venue (and presumably guest accommodations at Elements) is already sorted.
The stories yesterday were about her looking for a free wedding planner... and she was hinting she needed every aspect of the wedding to be heavily discounted or free- i.e.the flowers, the food, the mementos for guests, etc.
Every influencer who moans about the price of something is begging for it to be #gifted. At this point, most everyone realizes this, but I doubt Sarah's stans do since they don't get the game being played.
Whilst I'm at it, I'm utterly disgusted by the whole #spon #gifted game in general. Sarah exemplifies everything that is wrong with this system.
Because these influenzas never earn the stuff they're gifted, they show absolutely no respect for it. You'll find them hoarding tons of
tit (remember Sarah's PR room/ nursery?), with stuff strewn all over the floor, then all that stuff is conveniently discarded when they de-clutter videos for likes and clicks. There's no respect for the items, nothing is used properly, everything is treated as disposable because they don't see value in it (how could they when they never had to earn the items to begin with).
This has huge implications on an environmental level; ironic given Sarah keeps preaching about being good to our planet!
In addition, it has a negative impact on society and this generation's ideals. There's a focus on external validation, extrinsic and materialistic 'collections' as a litmus test of one's worth, and a complete lack of respect for the process that created these items (the human and environmental expense of these), the items themselves which are neglected and shoved off to litter the landfills of third world countries, and the actual 'owners' of said items who are left with an even bigger existential void in their souls that they cannot comprehend, but then try to fill with more materialistic crap.
Sarah's negative influence is often so subtle in these areas; not only does she not disclose how much of her life is gifted, but she's teaching her followers that by being bossy and demanding you are entitled to be gifted everything, that those gifted things are unworthy of proper care, and that they can only be truly happy if they possess MORE AND MORE stuff.
Sorry if none of this makes sense. I'm so angry with the fact that she's focused on her
crappy wedding during the pandemic, and it's bringing up all the other issues I have with her.
