This is the thing self employment really needs self discipline

Late watching it, but watched the honest getting stuff off my chest video. I really did admire her honesty, when was speaking about her mum, it was very raw and i much prefer that to the overly curated image a lot of influences try to cultivate.
Really brave to be so open and honest.
Then sat through a few more vids. I think her sleeping pattern isn't helping her depression, i hope she can see light at the end of the tunnel there. She is lucky her bf is so emotionally supportive, loving someone with depression can be very testing. I don't know if she had siblings who could help too.
But yeah, sleeping patterns and wanting to live as remotely as possibly scream I'm not ok.

I think she looks lovely here. I love her mouth/teeth....she must have had SOOOO much donetbf she has admitted to everything she’s had done so full credit to her there. I just think it’s too much especially at her age when she looked so pretty before and looks too plastic now
Agreed - at least she is honest unlike someone (ahem Imo
) but it just shows the extent of it and I’m always shocked. She has posted old pictures of herself though so fair play to her. Also agree with the poster earlier that she does look good - hasn’t overdone the lips for example - but I just can’t believe how different she looks

I can’t stand she keeps starting her stories with “lots of you have been asking” literally no one has asked and if they have…. God help them

What a weird thing to post about, humble bragging how small you are. Genuine question, what does she do the whole day for work? She barely posts apart from stories.

It's strange. At least one of them should stay in a traditional job if for nothing else then for future employability.
The YouTube boyfriends are only doing part time work. Editing a few 15 minute videos doesn't need to be a full time job.
I know YouTube money is good but is it always worth ditching a salary, even a low one? If I could work full time and spend a few hours a week doing a high paid social gig, I'd do that!

I do think that she i still processing the loss if her Mum and will be for some time. The fact that she was so ill for so long and although she was alive she wasn't really getting to live and grieving for her partially when she was alive and for the relationship with her she never got to have. Urgh, horrendous.
That won't be easy, ever, but the crazy work hours are just making it worse for herself. And the zeal of the newly converted with adhd meds, she just seems to be looking for distractions.
Up, dressed and at the desk by a certain hour no matter how little sleep you had, just go to bed earlier the next night. Yes it's boring and hard to discipline yourself, but it will be worse for your MH if you don't.
Welcome to life!
To be fair I only just realised in sept that I have ADHD and that’s due to lack of awareness in society. Appreciate it might be annoying if you are neurotypical and can’t relate but anything that gets the word out more about ADHD, especially the female presentation of it, is good. It could help a hell of a lot of people seeing her talk about it
Idk as I haven’t seen much of this content but that could be a defense mechanism to speak about it with some tone of humour... it’s tough to talk about it without people thinking you’re moaning. Like self deprecation.
To be fair most people would be happy they are diagnosed because going through life not diagnosed and unaware is a massive struggle.

Just caught up on her testing collection make up video - first off she has completely lost any ability to actually review things and just says "yeah that's alright" or "looks okay at the moment". Secondly I switched off half way through because I am so over the "haha look ADHD is so funny oh my eyebrows look bad must be ADHD"
She reminds me of those people who aren't quirky at all but say they are all the time to make people think they are. She was like "I'm so gross yes I'll never change" a "why am I like this" - she used to be herself I thought and was fun because she was confident in it where as now all she talks about is not being confident and saying she's now being herself and wasn't before.
She was damn good at faking it then if her "fake" self felt more real than her real self

Is good to open up about mental health issues, the problem is that influencers made them a "trendy" thing like is cool to say you suffer of anxiety, many of their followers would start to auto diagnose themselves or start to get ideas in their mind.
Also I have noticed that the vast majority of youtubers, instagramers or content creators end up developing mental problems due to a lack of routine like waking up early, get ready to leave to work, the commute or journey from home to work, then coming back home leaving work at their workplace and switch to another thing once back home, without counting with the lack and sometimes almost nule social interaction you have staying at home the hole day.
Zoella is the most clear example of she fucked up her mental health by keeping this life for several years, she is one of the richest influencers in the UK but she never really travel anywhere unless her very closed and selected group of friends travel with her too. She doesn't go anywhere out of Brighton unless she has no choice, she barely leaves her house, she interact with a very reduced amount of people, is extremely emotional dependent of Alfie.
Steph also seems lost with no direction or the same passion from the beginning, her content is necoming worst and worst.

I feel the same. I'm not into extensions and I don't have fake nails and she looks so different now because of her fillers and other work she's had done. I think she looks great naturally it's a shame she doesn't see it.
Same here if people I want religiously do random videos I watch them all because of them but I feel like every clothing haul she does is exactly the same and nothing I would ever wear. Plus I feel like we never see her wear any of it any other time?

Yeah I agree. And the colour matching foundation she tried last week? Other youtubers were doing it 3 months ago. Which I watched at the time because I was curious but now I wouldn't waste time watching another video on it. I like her but her content is all the same and always a few weeks too late.

Needed to take some time off? She literally never posts anyway. Yawn
🥱That video was so real very unedited straight talking and from the heart. She didn't need to share it but actually it probably hopefully helped her to open up and say yea I'm not OK but she's looking like she's ready to tackle the deep issues. I know youtube influencer life must feel super easy but that's her job and to feel shit self employed must be scary.
Grim. I never engage with polls in Instagram stories but I immediately voted hell no when she suggested making this video because I had to make sure I had done everything in my power to stop it happening. I’m honestly not sure why anyone would want to watch that. Or why she would even think of doing it. Just... what, why? Gross.

I used to like her vidoes testing aldi and lidl makeup but now all her vids are just "full face of this and full face of that blah blah" it's so boring and it's like she's trying do hard to be random or something it's annoying she had a question box on her insta awhile ago and people were asking her genuine questions and she was answering them with literal random shite probably thinking it was hilarious
