To me Alena is a woman that will never be truly happy. Will go through life wanting xyz, getting it and then never really happy. She was certainly very different to the other three Bleinham ladies. They are genuine to their interest and it is their life. Alena is all about status, materialism - Fairfax £££ boots going to nice restaurants, having a lot of attention from her husband. Childlike,..seeing this behaviour from her just screamed narcissist.

I've just read that Alena has ended up in Australia. Lots of God showing them the way, but also, her husband used to live in Sydney and was ready to move back to Aus years ago.
She claims that someone on the internet shared where she lived in a gossip forum
which shook her to the core, but not enough, apparently, as she shared a photograph of what the front of her house looks like.
Pulling absolutely no punches about the fake Instagram friends who ditched her
I'm more sad that she parted with the Beryl. Her entire brand has been buy British/dig for victory/hearth and home/Englishness but the hubby, I mean, God, had other plans.

I wouldn’t be sad about the Beryl. It isn't really popular in Australia so better to have left it in the UK where it will be appreciated.

Alena changes her direction as much he wind blows in the UK !
This American tradwife popped up in my feed recently. It’s all very idealistic but heaps of people following so I’m obviously missing something.
I think a lot of her attitude is based on religion as she was home schooled and their introduction was arranged (I follow her too). However, she did have her own successful wedding photography business before she became ill and is open that she can only do one thing on certain days. She also has a small business reselling secondhand cottage core clothes. Very much a religious tradwife appealing to those wanting to learn traditional skills like preserving.
On the UK side of things, my mother was a housewife from 1948 onwards, frequently in some dodgy places (such as taking a boat downriver for shopping only to find a revolution going on!). Unlike Alena, she never had an 'allowance'. From day one they had a joint account and my mother held any cash from the time they met in 1943. It was a family joke that Dad would go up to the bar to order drinks and come scuttling back to get money off Mum. She also gave him 'pocket money' to go out

Just a little opinion on Tradwives. They are all over YouTube in particular, flaunting their selflessness, and throwing themselves bouquets for their life of service they have chosen, for the benefit of their husbands and children. The thing is though, that they are huge YouTubers;!!! Thats not very.... Trad, is it? Nor the fact that many of said husbands seem to not do very much except float around in the background of the videos 
They are cunning business people, more like. IMHO.

Yep. Plus it always annoys me that they make out that women who work don't take care of the home/children/washing/partner, when the reality is we're doing it AS WELL. Just like the tradwife women are when they devote their time to monetising their lives. They are very keen to earn an income, so perhaps not quite as trad or submissive as they make out....Just a little opinion on Tradwives.
