I commented asking about potentially getting some content about her relationship to plastic, as there's been a lot of single use plastic in her vids recently (waitrose burgers, prepackaged chips etc). It's no problem at all (they are hard to get away from) but making the claims she does and shaming people for using teabags, of all things, while still using single use plastics without much thought is insulting to those of us actually trying to be better. To no ones surprise, the comment was deleted (read: censored).
She never makes veggie burgers from scratch and her hummus is often shop-bought. Someone who cares about the planet and get through a lot of hummus, should possibly make their own every now and then? It's better value for money (not that she has to worry) and often more delicious.

And she was gifted a £1200 thermomix that makes smooth hummus in seconds. She’s a joke

I watched her Cornwall vlog recently too (you know the one where she was supposed to be having a digital detox). I noticed that her and Ant didn't eat vegan/plant based suitable food. They had homemade croissants with Tally (the just roll homemade ones you do in the oven) and then jacket potatoes with beans and cheese on their walk. Is she actually vegan anymore?
Lots of pre-made croissants/pastry is actually vegan (#accidentlyvegan) because it's cheaper to make them with margarine than butter. I am not defending her but it's hard finding vegan foods in certain areas. They might have brought their own vegan cheese, this is what my vegan friend sometimes do (she also carries small bottles of decanted plant based milk). The burgers at the dish and chip shop might have not been vegan, as she said "veggie" a couple of times. She could have however made a disclaimer how hard is it to get the right food when you're travelling and also not to be too hard on oneself if you need to eat something veggie instead of vegan, it's not the end of world.
(or she could pre-made some food, it's not like she doesn't have the time.)

it’s not, there is still a grey area over their Chinese products due to mandatory testing on animals of foreign products in China. Even though Dove are now producing some products in China, there are various laws that mean that the products could be forced to undergo animal testing without Unilever’s (doves parent company) consent. All very murky!


Dove is cruelty free now

omg i just went back and looked. you know you are on the bleeping beg when you accept free pasta. i wish these companies would send free food to the people that actually need it.
There's another practically invisible gifted on her doing squats in the garden too!

I’m surprised this comment is still there but... She won’t address this, so people now think it is! No doubt if anyone answers they’ll get blocked.

someone asked Madeleine Olivia this one her post about being on the dove podcast and she at least replied and said they’re not vegan / cf but she was hoping to spread the word about sustainability.

Basically they (the brand) dont test on animals direct but the product will be tested via a third party to sell in China. Loads of companies have tried to distance themselves from it but by selling in China they are agreeing for someone to test on animals. Zanna is thick as tit so she wouldn't research or understand this

Sorry have to vent !
People here have criticised her :
Not eating - suddenly she is stuffing pasta - obvs some gifted!
That she does not drink her gin and it’s for show - suddenly she is necking it! Again obvs gifted of course!
That she continues to travel during pandemic - suddenly she is having away UK days
THERE IS A PANDEMIC - sorry am I the only one to think it not ok for her parents to presumably travel from Yorkshire where cases have risen and come South ? I can’t find the restrictions up there as Gov website so rubbish !!

tbf it's the east riding and there isn't a local lockdown there. They (her parents) live in the country and I imagine they are not mixing outside of their household, so I don't think there's any risk from them coming down if you know what I mean. Personally I'm just more shocked that Zanna isn't worried about being in close proximity to her parents (her dad more elderly) after socialising with multiple people... If I were her I'd have limited contact before the visit, but didn't she have cornwall trip, then a photoshoot, then a friend over, and gym trips?

anyone else that house would be perfect. It’s very tastefully decorated and even if you wanted to switch it up it is fine to live in now and do the changes slowly, you know like the majority of the population

it’s becoming more obvious that she is only doing the redecoration to fill that other account and from that get loads of freebies (which will not be noted clearly as gifts of course)

I sometimes wonder if the previous owners watch her stories and think what the hell is she doing! I know it’s none of their business what she does but they must feel a little bit of disappointment that their tasteful decor is getting changed so quickly

I wonder if she is doing the - 'it's so hard to get contractors at the moment' in the hope that some will offer their services to her for free?

Regarding jus rol - palm oil? is that not something she avoids?

I follow other vegans on Instagram who travel and they always stick to vegan food. It's really not difficult if you are in the UK and self catering!

Can anyone explain the aim behind hiding the “gifted” label? Is it because they think we’re more likely to engage with a non-gifted promotion? It really confuses me because a) I wouldn’t buy anything Zanna promotes 😉 and b) I wouldn’t rest change my mind about wanting something if it was promoted or it wasn’t? I get so confused by these influencers begging for likes and talking about how engagement is higher on certain things than others. We as users don’t see that so in short, we don’t care!!!

She just posted this and it kinda sums up what I mean. They’re all just so narcissistic. Do they think we’ll sit around missing them because they don’t post one day? They are one of probably hundreds of influencers people follow - life doesn’t just revolve around you Zanna! Getting to sick of seeing on insta how “the algorithm is working against me” 🤢🙄
FINAL ADDITION - WHO THE duck IS ASKING WHERE THAT MUG IS FROM?!

If she was genuinely interested in promoting sustainability, she wouldn’t be promoting Dove. You can wash your body with solid soap bars, not Dove’s body wash in recycled plastic bottles. She is a fraud and more interested in making £££ than making a difference.

I’ve lurked here a while but never posted. I was going to post earlier about the hidden “gifted” gif on the squatting video (I sent it to ASA because that is quite clearly breaking the rules - and what is the use in hiding it?!) but changed my mind. Her post from this morning has pushed me over the edge hahaha. I don’t know if I’m just being sensitive in saying this, but as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it really bothers me that she writes and hashtags love is love on a post about her boyfriend being shorter than her. That’s not what that phrase was coined to celebrate?! It’s not a big thing but really grinds my gears
