Hahaha I just saw it. Lol. And what's with the person who wanted to inform her they went to Rome one day and it was searing hot? 😒
Where was this? I do not know enough of social media/ads etc but I find it funny how kacie is able to be sponsored by (was it barbel?) And a few weeks later is again advertising her friends course, it doesn't seem like a good deal for either of them (especially with her level of italian)

Sofie and Zoey (separately) did Instagram tours in Rome through Airbnb back in the day, but I bet this would be with Kacie or someone else - remember Tess, that friend of Kylie who was running her own tours called Clam Tours (really unappealing name if you ask me)?

Oh no, she bought a rundown Tuscan farmhouse? Well no wonder they suddenly decided to bring the company to Italy, then all her Under the Tuscan Sun adventures can be written off! Is she about to be Renovating a Ruin? Maybe Bottega Flavell can team up with Sunday Riley for Milan Fashion Week.

Sunday Riley: “If it (Italian farmhouse) sucks, I can sell it.”
From the cunning business strategist who brought you “deleted negative reviews directly translates to more sales!!”

First off, “rubs me off the wrong way” is so funny. I don’t know what the commenter is trying to say about immigration in the U.S., that’s maybe a step too far.

I do agree, however, that Sofie’s renovation for the most part is far too beige and boring for my taste. I would also have removed the wall closing off the living room from the kitchen, but the wood doors and marble floors are so beautiful and unique. Sure the building shows its age from the 60s, but these details make you really feel like you’re in Italy. The bathrooms I do like, though. I hate the little tiles in the shower that were there before, it feels like those would be such a pain to clean (as little grout as possible makes it feel more hygienic to me, idk). I also really don’t like the little cabin-style showers in Italy, it feels claustrophobic to me.

Overall it’s a nice house and I would be happy to live there compared to where I’m at, but if I were spending money to renovate in Italy I’d put a lot more color, texture and interest into it. Not just boring minimalist fixtures 🙈
I think they meant Sofie acts like nothing is happening in the US while complaining about bullshit things being delayed in her newly renovated custom finished apt there, as an immigrant (passport or not).

That said, it is pretty beige, isn't it? 😅 TBF, most newer constructions are exactly like that and Italians love more minimal and modern features, for the most part. I don't know, maybe the commenter lives in her nonna's house. If anyone is able to find it, Casa a Prima Vista is a fun show and you can see so many homes at various price points.

I also like the bathrooms bc having tile, like you said, is just a PITA keeping up with grout.😒

I meant to comment yesterday after her stories about missing her family (obvs mother!). I wonder if Sofie's mom will eventually move to Italy like many retired and/or wealthy do. It seems like Soph runs to her a lot when things don't go well. I'm not sure if her step-father is retired, but I assume her mother has dual-citizenship as well. If not she could easily get it.

Not sure if he’s a licensed guide. I assume he works for EF Tours which is where they both worked before when they met.
Yeah, I know he's a qualified sommelier but am not sure he's a licensed tour guide. I just checked his LinkedIn, seems he's "just" a tour manager.

Has anyone else seen santi and dara? Typical channel of an American woman and an Italian guy who ate married. They keep coming up as recommended, most recently I saw her saying she wants to make more youtube content as they have so much to say short posts aren't enough... followed by basically a plea for content ideas. Reminded me of sofie and her lamenting that people aren't watching 🙄

Is she going to make it back to Italy alive? lol what about that huge ass spider that bit her she was supposed to go to the hospital for?
And almost bring killed by a wave 🙈 I don't think this is a promotional trip but wow she's making the Philippines seem awful lol.

Yeah, she keeps talking about having an identity crisis, being down in the dumps… work is weird… what’s going on?!
Yeah, the Q was "How is your new job going?" and she hesitated and said "It's... going." I know I always use that expression when I'm not happy. I don't know if she was tipsy (she said she came back from wine and sushi), but it was definitely a weird vibe re: work.

Nothing else really interesting. She sees herself living in Italy forever but maybe not always Florence, though she likes it. Someone asked if making friends was easy, she said yes but really just talked about the ease of "networking", which I don't consider making friends lol.

Just wondering if she's actually returning to her job (The leave seems too good to be true at this point. Though I can't remember when her medical leave ended and maternity began) or is she going to update her LinkedIn to put an end date?
I need to apply for a job a Sunday Riley. They seem to have the best pregnancy and maternity leave of all companies. 😉

I guess my question is, why does she *need* to promote SR on her own Instagram? If it’s for the money, then she is doing an ad, and she needs to claim it as such, even if she works for the company, right? Is her 77k salary not enough?
I assume it's a job requirement. But that's why I'm curious how it ISN'T an ad. It especially annoyed me when she tagged one story #gifted. 🙄 She means freebie to promote? I also rolled my eyes so hard when she mentioned her mother brought her SR's "latest release only available in the States so far" to try out. Is it possible they aren't in the SR office or warehouses with an imminent release? These are the things that put me off. I don't think she earns extra for these, but I feel like the company is being shady again. Yes her job is on her profile, but how many really look? Then she's "randomly" using all these products in Lives and stories lol.

Sofie needs a slap from the FTC and AGCOM since her "*afflink" is sooooo tiny and not clear at all she's earning off it. Also, I highly doubt the blush was...oh, randomly her mom's if she's linking it.

No SR in sight lately. She asked if we want an updated skincare routine; I'd be curious to see if she included any.

Spot the afflink🧐

New Sofie Q&A... the fact that she got a new camera and microphone tells us that she doesn't plan to stop YTing any time soon...

Yeah I’m really curious but don’t want to ask lol
All I could really find was an account with 20k followers that talked about about international taxes, residency, loopholes etc. from a former tax lawyer who talks about Italy a lot. https://instagram.com/wanderers.wealth?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
That type of content seems right up Zoey’s alley.
I know, if other stuff didn't fit I'd have guessed it was Zoey she was talking about! 🤣

Another expat just popped up on my feed.


the comments from Italians 💀
---
When someone said “I’ve only heard you say a few words in Italian and the pronunciation was wrong on every one” and indeed she talks about the “prèsepe” and “leem” (lime)
Girl, humble yourself 😂

In that podcast interview she said her mom was a model but her dad was jealous so he basically made her quit the job…
Yknow I kinda got the sense she has daddy issues.
Wow, a controlling jealous dude? You don't say ...lol.

Btw, her dad's "highly successful business" where they traveled all'estero too wouldn't be related to Jayne Sport, would it? 🤔😳🧐
