'Support small businesses' whilst accepting another gift! I just could not do that! I at least hope she paid for the balloons at cost price or their labour/petrol. Seriously could not do that to somebody, taking their saturday away and leaving them out of pocket all for an insta ad by a small mum vlogger.

 

[Yoghurtpots]

Ok so double post! Sorry!
She has just addressed the gifts off of small businesses and rambled on and on about it being to help them out and that is why she has accepted more in the last month.. to help people out. To help small businesses. Of course the free nails, free facials and free balloon arch was so difficult to accept but you did it to help small businesses out. Just bloody pay and stop trying to justify it. Accept gifts from big companies and shop/buy local. I'm sorry but I think she think shes Mother Teresa for accepting small businesses time for free when in fact its stingy af. Shes hardly skint.

If she didn't buy so much crap at car boot sale she could pay for the goods from small businesses.

They don't even try to make it obvious that they read here she said as nobody had a problem, it was a 'speak now or forever hold your silence' thing. She feels its ok and she should rock on. 'Influencers' can't take criticism, thats why this site exists. Its pointless saying anything as it will lead to a passive aggressive response and blocked. The ads are getting too much too! Every single day.

Have you guys seen the AXA ads? The one of her jumping in the kitchen then the water on her face and T-shirt. Seriously what the hell. The boys will really thank her for that. Money talks for sure.
Also found her post about her son with additional needs at the weekend a bit crass. She’s completely exposed him for her own benefit whether that be to find similar people with those challenges or just use it for likes.
really feel she’s gone desperate now and it’s a shame as she got the balance more on point previously

Yeah the AXA ad was a bit much but wow she has an amazing figure! Don't know why she hides it under them awful baggy beige clothes she wears. I'm sick of the constant ads and affiliates. She only comes on stories now to promote or swipe up. She is getting very Emily Norris-esque for my liking. A bit to QVC. Also really didn't like that chair she bought! It looked like it just had one of them sofa covers from argos on it! And no idea how she has white sofa/chair either.

The ads are too much. And she needs to stop talking about her kids on SM. He's a teen and if his peers get hold of anything she's saying he'll be teased or bullied over it. He's entitled to his privacy and she really doesn't have to explain to the world why she's stressed over him. If she didn't tell us we wouldn't know.

It's quite obvious she has been told to stop featuring Mr OG's two older sons (or at least they don't want to be, I think they're old enough to decide now), I don't think I've seen either of them even mentioned since they got back together.

Not a fan of the chair either. But then the whole house is one big sea of beige, black, beige, white, beige, grey, beige, beige and more beige.

I was always surprised that she could be so open about them online. She even wrote a blog post about not getting along with them and how difficult it is being a step parent! I mean the honesty is great for other people but how did she get away with it! I always wonder why his sons mum didn't kick off. Perhaps she now has. Even yesterday when she was talking about how hard is it having 4 teenage boys in the house, she kept saying "its no reflection on them, its me", I clearly think shes been told off or shes being more closed as her channel has grown. They all end up becoming more and more fake and polished. I do love her interior though! Although I noticed the f&f homeware has disappeared after doing that ad last week

They all live in the same village don't they? (the ex wife, the ex husband etc..)

 

[DaisyDeluxe]

I remember her posting once about how their parenting arrangements work well, they seem to live fairly close by and there's no awkwardness about it - which is great. But regardless of how well you get on, I would not be allowing my ex's new partner to feature my children on a public blog like that. As I say though, perhaps the boys have decided themselves they don't want to be featured.

I like Jess, not sure entirely why. I think its because she shares a bit of the good and the bad without going too far in one direction and her Mum seems ace.

I have to agree. As much as I pass comment on here about her, the oversharing of the kids lives and the ads which are getting more cringy etc, I actually like Jess and her mum! Does she ever socialise with or mention friends though? Even pre covid, I don't remember her posting about going out with girlfriends etc

True she doesn't. Odd isn't it that she seems a home bird (nothing wrong with that at all) but then shares her world with everyone? Shows how weird social media is I guess.

 

[Yoghurtpots]

She said on her macmillion ad that she doesn't have friends as she has social anxiety. Very strange as she seems so outgoing! The ads are too much, I hate it when they get to a point of only coming on to promote something. I think they get too money hungry and its such an easy way to make money. They forget that some people see them as friends and that when they turn into a shopping channel they lose what they once had. She is definitely in money making mode atm and this was her career pre instagram so she is very good at her job and knowing that being relatable sells.

I can’t believe I haven’t raised the major issue- the perm!!!
Have perms come back into fashion?! Not in my neck of the woods they haven’t

 

[Porthos]

I don't understand why she got a perm either. Her hair was lovely before she had it done and now it's scraggly.

 

[DaisyDeluxe]

I actually like the curly hair and I wouldn't have looked at it and thought "oh she's had that permed!" She's probably got the same hair type as me, not particularly thick, has a a bit of a natural wave but not enough to hold a nice curly style on it's own, left to dry on it's own looks a bit crap and only looks nice with lots of time and styling products/tools which you cannot be arsed doing.

 

[instasham13]

I think she's really pretty. I always notice how her earlobes are attached. That isn't body shaming or being cruel. I just can't help but notice it and think it's cool lol.

Casper is the coolest little kid. The ads do grind on me though especially the starling bank ones.

 

[Yoghurtpots]

She came on stories today.. why? Because she was promoting her social club business. She is sort of cashing out at this point. No longer just a hobby with a bit of pocket money from it but actual proper salary money. She is forgetting though that people don't like to be constantly sold to! We can see through it! She barely posts about her day or her finds.. just ads and promo. Its boring! Also I prefer her hair straight to curly and I wish she would iron her linen clothes
