I’ve been to Nerja where she went onShe makes it all sound very dreary. Holidays without kids are different to holidays with kids but they shouldn’t be as dismal as she suggests. Why the need to order chips and bread, if they wanted salad or whatever, why not order that? Spanish restaurants are generally welcoming to families, you’d wonder how she felt she was being ignored. If they had the kids in bed every night at 9pm, they were doing well and should have been able to relax for a few hours.
Or maybe it’s just not a suitable place to holiday with kids, so maybe find somewhere more suitable next time. I’m guessing her family apartment might be small and not really suitable for toddlers.
100% agree. The floor has clearly fallen out the mama market, brands are savvier now and actually measure performance and expect to see comparable ROIs to other channels, which most of these guys clearly can’t provide especially for the high ticket items they were once being gifted.The Frugality we all wistfully remember, with the beautifully put together outfits and stylish home, was firmly an aspirational lifestyle account. It featured lots of travel, weekends away, meals out, on trend clothes and gorgeous, impractical interiors.
On reflection, probably 90% of that lifestyle was achieved with gifted or discounted stuff. Alex was just in the right place at the right time and she rode that influencing wave hard.
I feel businesses are becoming more discerning with where their influencing pounds go and that combined with the constraints of small, demanding children means her lifestyle is no longer enviable for her audience. It’s very ordinary and boring actually.
Alex seems resentful that her influencing career and lifestyle have been impacted so much by having children and I know I didn’t follow her for bib recommendations. She’s no longer frugal, stylish or interesting.
The way she describes it you'd think they been participating in that Bear Grylls show where you get dumped on an uninhabited island.I’ve been to Nerja where she went on
holiday quite a few times. Lots of families go there including Spanish ones. They have an afternoon siesta, bath or shower and then go for a promenade and then out to eat. Lots of children sleeping in chairs pushed together or in their pushchairs. They don’t go to eat until about 8- 9 pm. Just in case anyone didn’t know that is what often happens in Spain….
As someone who doesn’t have kids yet reading her description was very depressing. I literally love a Mediterranean holiday and won’t be changing that once I have kids. However, the reason I love them is because I’ve been going since I was a baby and all three of my siblings and I were taken out to the beach all day, no parent took us home for a nap. We’d then have dinner at 8/9 and the youngest would sleep in the pram if needed. How does she make it seem so horrific?The way she describes it you'd think they been participating in that Bear Grylls show where you get dumped on an uninhabited island.
It’s not just the children that have ruined her account’s ‘vibe’, it’s this. It’s fewer pounds having to be shared amongst more influencers.100% agree.

I’d be seriously worried if 100% of my household income was from one dwindling source, although at least they’ve got her family money to see them through.
100% this! And the other comment re less money spread around thinner between more influencers.Which reflects her frugality MO - don’t pay for the small stuff so you can buy the nice stuff you really want. But despite her creators should be paid for their content mantra everything I have seen indicates there is no way she would pay for content if it was optional. She loves a freebie!
Especially with the family home local you’d imagine they’d have built a rapport with local restaurants? It’s embarrassing they haven’t tbh? But like they say if you sit there nursing soft drinks for freebies, just want to buy a few sides, probably don’t tip and I can’t imagine they clean up the kids’ mess so you’ve got the poor waiters having to scrub soggy bread out a high chair on top of it all it’s no surprise they’re not served to the standards they want?She's actually pathetic. She wants everything for free, but expects people to pay for her content! Mind boggles to her logic. The 'free' tapas isn't actually that, the waiters prob want the miserable cheap fuckers to go so they don't sit there nursing a coke for hours to get 'free' tapas. She's in the family home, if you're that hard up get food from the supermarket and cook in the free apartment you're in.
she's just a miserable moaning resentful cow.
