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...
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. 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.
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 not but 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.
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)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.
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. Soz!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.
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!!! It took her 3 years to paint the stairs, I dread to think how long this kitchen is going to take
