SJ Strum

I really like her too.

I mean she is another rich white middle class instagrammer but yes she seems really nice.

To the earlier poster that wrote about her having two boys first- yes she has done videos about this and how she really wanted a girl for her third.

When they put “mum/mom” in their titles - I think the Americans can guess what a “mum” is!

 

[truffletrot]

Tbh I really like Dylan on a girl lol

I’m sorry, I am a bit of a name snob, I’ll happily admit

 

[199666]

I feel for them, they do seem nice and Naomi is so young and her daughters are so small too, it's an awful situation to be in

 

[scrantonstrangler]

She just posted that the reason they've been absent is that Naomi has been diagnosed with incurable stage IV cancer

 

[CasinoRoyal]

Does she seriously call herself a baby name consultant??

 

[mingbag]

I dislike her a lot.
Just popping on to follow the thread

 

[sheleg]

Just awful. That poor family.

 

[Onthehop]

I’m sorry but this latest video is just sick. There’s no need to make a video on the back of her sister dying. How disgusting.

It doesn’t sit right with me too.

I really like SJ. I don’t watch her baby name content because well I’m not pregnant and have no desire to sit listening to names, but Love when she does her gentle parenting videos, and am enjoying her “thrift” series. Have had some nice conversations with her on insta about parenting, she’s very emotionally intelligent, and seems like she genuinely loves what she does and enjoys connecting with her viewers. I don’t get the same feelings about Lucy Carter or Emily Norris for example who are more about creating a brand rather than sharing themselves if you know what I mean.

However something that is bugging the life out of me with SJ and a few others at the moment is this whole thrift thing!!! What the hell is a thrift shop why are youtubers not calling them charity shops? Am I missing something here? We are not American and I personally have never heard anyone in RL say “I’m just going to drop these bags off at the thrift shop” lol. Apart from that she’s probably my favourite- nice to see something different to primark and B&M hauls

I'm guessing because they want followers from America, so use terminology that Americans recognise. Sounds silly, but I don't think they care much.

On her video, they say they are treating to cure.

That being said, stage 4 is rarely curable.

 

[doritos 24]

I thought that was such a clickbait video to post. Like really? Your sister has stage 4 cancer and you’re making a video about it now?!

 

[black ripped skinnies]

Yes I've just scrolled through he channel and seen 00'sof baby name videos! I can't bring myself to watch those.
She seems quite nice and normal so far,normal house etc.
I see she used Cambridge weight plan, and I'm sure she said her mum's a consultant for them?

 

[LurkyLou]

When they put “mum/mom” in their titles - I think the Americans can guess what a “mum” is!

If an American is searching for parenting content, they are going to use the term "mom" or "mother." That's why they put both in the title.

I'm guessing they also call it thrifting/thrift shopping because there is an actual movement/style out there called thrift store chic. I hope this helps.

 

[Vee6]

Ha yeah I thought she would be going for like six months at least from the way she was talking! A week - pffft
Nice thing to do though

 

[PinkFigs]

Her voice gets prissier and more high pitched with every video she does. In her latest video about Molly Mae’s possible baby names she sounds so affected!

 

[keeprowing]

I do wonder about how it works in the long term, it’s very extreme

 

[black ripped skinnies]

Oh I'm glad people like her then! I was searching for someone new to watch who's just normal and down to earth, so I'll keep watching her
I've never done Cambridge, but it seems very restrictive, fair play to her for having the dedication to stick to it.
Does she always speak in a sort of whispery voice, or have I just watched a couple of videos where she's been ill?

 

[37BBL]

Apparently this video was filmed when she was still stage 3 and they're no longer treating to cure now. Her poor children

Oh gosh I didn't know this, how awful.

 

[truffletrot]

Still can't apply her blusher subtlety I see

And sorry but… those brows *

*now I’ve got terrible natural brows so believe me I know the struggle
