Does anyone else find it annoying how she’s always complaining how she used to have more time/style/content/holidays? Maybe it’s just because she’s struggling for content at the mo but seems she’s often saying she had ‘more’ before kids/house...

She’s just sent an email newsletter thing saying she’s in her second trimester and not having morning sickness.
I’m delighted for her after late loss of twins last year.

Just seen that. Pleased for them
After her loss last year, it must have been so stressful for Alex to be in the early stages of pregnancy when the virus began to ramp up. I understand Instagram content wouldn’t have been her priority.
I’ve followed her for years, well before they bought the current house, but my finger hovered over unfollow after the recent Gap advertising where all the clothes she was advertising were wrinkled!
Ironically, I think today might be the day to unfollow after a story about ironing baby flannels.
Her fashion content used to be top class. It’s circling the bottom of the drain right now.

I like her. I don’t know how I found her or what she used to offer. I like her home style and fashion. She wear pieces which I suddenly get burning desire to buy (leopard gap puffa and ace and prince bag) but it’s few and far between.
I find her inoffensive but yeah wish there was more fashion. Not sure how she makes her money, what a life!

I thought the skirt and shirt combo looked odd as well as wrinkled. Reminded me of something Meghan Markle might wear. I do not like her perpetual orangey lipstick either.After her loss last year, it must have been so stressful for Alex to be in the early stages of pregnancy when the virus began to ramp up.

almost all the interior things she has are free or gifted or sponsored or whatever it's called.Not sure if you're being sarcastic or notbut yes, I'm sure it's just part of their MO. Houses in that area were going for around £700k at the time they bought theirs (I think someone mentioned this earlier upthread) and they've invested quite a bit doing it up so far. People who are skint don't buy furniture from Habitat and Loaf, don't go on several holidays a year, don't paint their walls with F&B and don't buy houses in that price range. Not criticising them for it and maybe they're feeling the pinch a little at present but I think it's obvious they're not poor.
Just had a look to see which outfit was mentioned that was crinkled. 
what the hell! The jumpsuit looks great, though.
what the hell! The jumpsuit looks great, though.I just can’t believe she says she likes ironing yet fails to iron anything that she’s promoting for her job, yet irons facecloths?! Does she mean she’s good at ironing small squares of material 
I'm new here, hi!
I generally don't mind her, her house or style. I like the fact there is minimal accepting gifts and free clothes (I know we will all have different ideas about how frequent 'minimal' is. but s hes not telling us she has something new to 'show' us/shes obsessed with X #gifted multiple times a week or even month like some do) and so it fees more genuine when she does talk about a product even though she mostly does that when she's paid to.
But, my god, i get so wound up by their food and kitchen situation. They bought that house 3 or 4 years ago... did they tear out their existing kitchen when they moved in expecting to be gifted one because I don't understand how they have had no kitchen? She claims it was frugal not to buy an oven when they moved in because it mightn't suit their final kitchen design and be a 'waste' of money so they have existed on a combi-microwave-oven, a single plug in hob/stove, and kettle. However you can get an electric oven complete with grill and hob for under £400 which isn't expensive over 3/4 years, less than a tenner a month to be able to actually cook plus they wouldn't have needed to buy the combi-oven thing. In the meantime the lack of oven has meant they've spent that on takeaways, deliveroo and convenience food. And the bit that really annoys me is that every time she shows that situation she acts like a martyr when it's actually choice they've made. It feels like begging for someone to gift them a kitchen.
She once showed a lidl receipt banging on that a £35ish food shop did them for the week, and i was really impressed (as a couple we spend about £75ish a week including cleaning/hygiene products ect so i wanted to see how we could reduce that cost slightly) but when i paused i noticed there wasn't a single piece of meat, fruit or veg; it was mostly pasta, bread, pesto, oven pizza's ect. So little nutrition. I feel really harsh saying this, but this woman always used to go on about how bad her skin appearance is however if you put tit in you get tit out. You might only spend £20 per person on food a week but the later health costs of that kind of diet, and the fact you 'need' an expensive skin care routine to compensate seems like the wrong way to prioritise that.

I don’t think cooking, let alone eating healthily, is a priority in their house.
They’re definitely people who see food as fuel rather than pleasure I think. Their portions are quite small. But I agree I couldn’t live like that!
I like how she does clear defined “ad breaks”. I don’t really know why I follow her, she doesn’t really influence me in any way but she’s harmless. I can’t believe how many bloody doors they seem to have painted!

I’ve said previously on here, they eat like students. Shite!!
I know what you mean and agree with you to a point but there are plenty of people who eat well, don’t smoke, drink moderately etc and also have iffy skin. Lots of athletes/sports people have acne and they have incredibly healthy specialist diets and exercise regimes planned to the last macro, mostly it’s just hormones (which face wash also can’t help with)
As for the little oven. We also renovated and bought a little electric tabletop oven with two on the top, combined with a microwave. It was less than £200 and we managed to cook pretty much all meals (odd takeaway as a treat) for us and 3 kids on it for the duration of the build. It now lives in the utility and we use it as an overflow or warming oven when we’re cooking for large numbers. It absolutely wasn’t a waste of money and I’m sure we could sell it on for a few ££ on our local FB group if we didn’t want it anymore. She could’ve done the same.
You're right. That was a bit of a crap thing for me to say. I also know plenty of people who do the opposite and have well behaved skin, so there isn't always a correlation.

But yes, sorting something like that early on when you're in it for the long-haul or you're not sure when you might have the money/time to do the kitchen seems like such a good investment. I'd hate to only be able to cook half a pizza and then serve it to one of us whilst we cook the other half (a thing she has shown them doing in the past). I'd spent the £200 not to live like that for 3/4 years, to me there is a huge value to being able to cook properly and enjoying a meal together. I recognise not everyone has the same priorities but it feels like such a basic thing to sort for the quality-of-life gain you would get, and it seems so short sighted money-wise to not make sure you have the ability to make a half decent meal.
All this definitely says a lot more about me than about her, it's just really grates on me so some reason i can't explain!
I like some elements of what she produces as she does seem to think before posting and isn’t selling out her kid as much as other influencers, but she is so dull!!! It took her 3 years to paint the stairs, I dread to think how long this kitchen is going to take 
I don't think there was a kitchen as such in the house when they bought it, I'm guessing the place needed rewiring too, so not straight forward to buy a stop gap electric oven as they need a certain type of cable.
Better not I’m sooo nosey and love do ups I don’t wanna be waiting ages to see this kitchen!I like some elements of what she produces as she does seem to think before posting and isn’t selling out her kid as much as other influencers, but she is so dull!!!

This article here says they'd spent £40,000 two years in, I can't imagine how much they've spent now. Frugal indeed... https://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/...-in-renovating-on-a-tight-budget-a126431.html
