Collab is SUPPOSED to mean a discount for the exposure but the term is so misused who knows! I had the uppa baby too I saved the whole 9 months and stopped myself going into Penney’s every week to save for it. No collab for me !Well Ailbhe is doing a #collab with Baby Elegance who now stock the Uppababy travel system she has a beautiful black and cream one gotten. What’s collab? Is that where they get a massive discount for advertising? I have last years version of the Uppababy it’s brilliant and we love it but we saved for it it certainly isn’t cheap. Worth every penny but it cost a fair few! We got a good price on Bella Baby for the whole travel system if anyone is in the market for one. #notanad #ipaidforit
I would love to just hear a mom blogger say ‘ lads my vagina was made tit of’ at least we could relate !! The idea that the baby pops out & mom back dolled up is just unrealisticAilbhe is another smug one who’s the only person to ever get pregnant . Can’t wait for her reality
Great point. She’s nobodies ‘ go to influence’
Jesus almighty I’m after nearly choking on me tea
that is hilarious! And I say that with the utmost respectful sympathy. I’m sure vaginal births are no craic at all. I had a section so I can’t relate! He was popped out alright but not by me! And I was too busy puking into a bowl for the next 6 hours and getting an IV to stop the sickness to be worried about putting makeup on or even brushing my hair!Could also be the tiny human she is growing - I used be completely breathless at about her stage of things he used be lodged up under my feckin ribs. Agree with you on the buggy though. I saw earlier in the week the collab with Baby Elegance and said no way would she be getting the Beep travel system. And they are lovely too and budget friendly. I can’t take the piss out of Vista owners - I am one but like the comment above I saved hard for it because it’s what I wanted so I worked overtime and denied myself Penney’s hauls for it and for unpaid maternity leave. No collab for me! Would be lovely if companies did more competitions for ordinary craythurs to win gifts instead of a big budget for influencers who get everything going for free. Just my opinion.
You remind me of myself ! I used to put €50 away every week for it for the 9 months & top up savings When I could. That’s what really annoys me about Collabs is how easily people (sometimes they haven’t even gone looking/begging) get stuff that we had the sacrifice to purchase. I’m a hairdresser like on €400 a week , €50 is a lot to save some weeks! It turns me off companies being really honest.
Yeah they are not cheap we got ours with a car seat and base as a bundle in a sale and saved the cost of the car seat with the discount. Now I will say it is a fantastic buggy and really lightweight and easy to unfold and dismantle etc. We would have been lost without it as I used it for overnight sleeping as well we never had a Moses basket. It has more than paid for itself and I’d say has been used daily since we had our son. But we paid for our own! I wish these companies would randomly select an ordinary Joe to do a collab with and make some family’s life easier rather than a “celebrity” who can afford their own stuff. I remember being violent when Aoibhin was expecting the first one Mothercare gave her everything free. Top of the range everything no own brand stuff for her! I never bought another thing there I was so mad.Just googled the price of the buggy and I think I need to sit down for a minute
An ordinary Joe wouldn’t have the same reach viewers wise with the public. I think it’s a really lazy advertising strategy using an influencer. But these are the times we live in.
If I saw a brand do something like that, I'd be way more inclined to buy from them. If the ordinary Joe they gave a product to didn't have a big following, all they'd have to do is post it on their own social media channels.
