Amused by Anna saying she has “a douche” - yes I know it’s French for shower, but does she not know about the other meaning of douching?!

She is a douche

Why do you need paternal leave when your husband is jobless?

Is Mark not employed? I always thought he had a normal job, but I haven't kept up with Anna since she just started posting about her 'capsule wardrobe' and then she got pregnant and I related to her even less. Forgot I followed her on Youtube until her return, ha!

He quit his job and now takes photos/edits videos for Anna.

Mark has become a YouTube husband

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahaha oh my god why do all these men quit their professional roles and commit career suicide for these women? The idea of 'instagram/youtube husbands' is hilarious. These women know that their jobs and time on the internet won't last forever. How much are they paying their husbands? SURELY they're worse off now?!

Also she drinks it in the toilet. What a weirdo. 5 bed house and she had to drink it in the toilet where she tit and pee.

You don’t need me to give you the ‘new parent I have no time‘ spiel, but seriously people aren’t lying when they say that. These babies will only entertain themselves for an approximately two minute window in which I can now somehow load washing, make a morning smoothie and brush my teeth in. It’s miraculous what you can do without procrastination, it really is. So my beauty routine has been whittled down like never before and although there were a few weeks where if I even managed to cleanse my face it was a small miracle, I’ve now settled into a mini slimmed-down morning routine that makes me feel and look awake even when I’ve been up since 4am. TA-DAH! So today I thought I’d share my super speedy beauty edit from head to toe that makes me feel like an actual human again…

THE SHOWER
Before the little lad arrived I remember reading a blog post by Caroline where she mentioned the ‘Pyjama and Shower‘ rule. If you’re due to have a baby anytime soon I highly recommend a read and DAMN SHE IS SO RIGHT. You really, really need a shower everyday – even if you do just get into fresh pyjamas afterwards. It sounds completely obvious but when you’re really in the thick of it sometimes even just thinking about the energy it takes to stand up in the shower is enough to knacker you out, but have the shower – I always felt all the better for it. These days I keep my shower, body and hair routine extremely simple. Firstly a douche with the Kiehl’s Made For All Body Wash*, then I’ve discovered that the Beauty Pie Detox Shampoo* is just as good as other clarifying formulas I use and like half the price so I give my hair a rinse with that every other day. Then once I’m out the shower I rub the Susanne Kaufmann Stretch Mark Oil* on my belly (yes I’m still on that train!), throw on some deodorant, dry my hair if I’ve washed it and we’re done. Once a week I try and do a layer of the Tax-Luxe The Gradual* all over just because it makes me feel good and a Sunday bath always goes down well and I’m very happy to have the Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts* back in my life.
Actually I’m missing out a huge part of my beauty routine here – HAND CREAM! Oh my word when there is a newborn baby around you are washing your hands ALL. THE. TIME and I don’t think my hands have ever been so dry. Mark and I both love the Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve* (ad – gifted), but he has the Kiehl’s Richly Hydrating Scented Hand Cream in Grapefruit* (ad – gifted) in his bedside drawer and I badger him to let me use it before bed every night because it smells so ridiculously good.

THE SKINCARE
Whereas my shower routine has been pretty standard, my skincare is a little all over the place so I’ll share a sort of ‘in the middle‘ routine; sometimes I do more and other times just use one or two products for the AM or PM. For both morning and night I try my hardest to cleanse and I’m still loving the Kiehl’s Centella Sensitive Facial Cleanser*, then I follow that with some kind of spray like the Dr Jart Ceramidin Spray Mist* (ad – gifted), and then an eye cream because DAMN my eyes are taking a battering right now and I’m currently using the Beauty Pie Triple Hyaluronic Acid Lifting Eye Serum* (ad – gifted). If it’s the morning then I sometimes follow this with some kind of Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid serums, then a moisturiser or oil and finish it off with the Beauty Pie Super Healthy Skin Feather Light SPF 50* or if it’s the evening I go straight in with the Allies of Skin Promise Keeper Blemish Facial* and call it a day. But really the bare bones are a cleanse, spray and SPF in the morning and a cleanse and the Allies of Skinproduct in the evening.

THE MAKEUP
I might not wear makeup everyday, but sometimes I just fancy a bit of a face, you know? And whenever I do get a chance to throw some slap on it just makes me feel good. I use just a handful of products, use one or two brushes and can apply it basically with my eyes closed. First up MAC Face + Body in C2*, squirted onto a flat-top kabuki and applied it all over. It just gives a light coverage and a bit of glow when I need it most. Concealer-wise I’ve had to step it up a bit so now dab on the Dior Forever Skin Correct Creamy Concealer in 2N*. This is actually great just on it’s own when I can’t be arsed to apply a foundation underneath. Next I do some bronzer – I’m currently using the Marc Jacobs Bronzer in Tan-Tastic* (ad – gifted) – and I just use a big powder brush to dust that all over. Then I use the Patrick Ta Major Brow Lamination Gel* which is just absolutely incredible, put a bit of bronzer over my eyelids with a small fluffy brush, apply some Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Wet Waterproof Mascara*, then whatever lip balm I have hanging around (actually the Hermes Rosy Lip Enhancer in 30 is proper lush, if not ludicrously priced!), and I’m ready. Finito and ready to sing Old McDonald for the 188th time that day.

And yet she had time to write and aff link this whole post

These idiots make upwards of £400,000 a year apparently so they’re likely making more money than their actual jobs by being their glorified photographers. However, this is a bubble that’ll burst and they’ll have a lovely gap in their CV where they have to explain to employers that they mainly did nothing for X number of years.

He was unemployed for 2 years now, he is working as her photographer now.

 

[Burrito88]

Do people really wear makeup on mat leave though. If I’m wfh with no visitors I don’t bother?
Maybe it makes you feel good but it’s just messing with your skin for nothing?

 

[Bridget_mary]

The Kiehl’s products she shows in her video as purchased by Mawk are linked as gifted/ad on her new blog post.

 

[Shutterbug99]

SURELY they're worse off now?!

Nope! She talked about this on the podcast. In the first year Mark worked for her she said her earnings increased (she could take on more work, didn't have to outsource photography etc) and they earned far more than the previous year when he was working a regular job.

Mad! Just goes to show how lucrative the influencer business really is, especially considering that Mark had a "good job" in a high-paying industry.

She is just a depressing nut job tangled in her BS

 

[MoniC]

huh? Wait what? The duck? She's SO astronomically far from Travis Barker or Kourt Kardashian they're not even in the same solar system. More like channeling black trashbag considering how legit nothing about this outfit fits right

Is she for real? She really thinks she's a fashion icon

 

[dreamybutterfly]

Firstly a douche and then squirted foundation - I;m out!

And yet she had time to write and aff link this whole post

Aaaah but don't you know aff links on the blog fall into assistant Mark's remit?

 

[Bababe]

Is she gonna be one of those fools that once becoming parents are suddenly obsessing over being cool, youthful, edgy and fun? Coz she none of these things (or Mark)

 

[stinkytink]

Her skin looks so splotchy, like she has fallen in a puddle face first and didn't bother to have a bleeping wash.
Also, pink lipstick + orange face = 2000 Clown

£2000 clown this is thread title worthy, surely!

also, I bleeping HATE the way she writes. Hate it. Everything sounds so stupid and try hard, and there’s never high value content. It’s just “me me me affiliate link Mark trendy buzz word I sound nerdy using Mark affiliate link affiliate link me me me affiliate link Mark foreign word I can’t even pronounce Mark affiliate link me me me.”

Just like that, because she doesn’t use punctuation properly, therefore 99% of her written content is run-on sentences. Arrrrrrgh

 

[mindlessness]

I can be wrong but I think that AD/gifted is also when the brands send you preloaded gift cards. Then influencers spend as they wish. So he can take the gift card and buy his beloved grapefruit hand cream from KIEHL'S

It can mean either the item itself was gifted or that they were sent a giftcard I think. She's been getting free Kiehl's for years so I wouldn't be surprised if Mark has some favourite products like this beloved hand cream that he takes from the parcel whenever a PR delivery arrives.
