So what’s the point? Take the day or the weekend off and just don’t post the photos, just enjoy yourself self and do what most people on days off, go home, and not come back and talk about work

I'd actually had that thought. It's a good idea for a digital detox now and again, but we should be encouraging people to do so on their own schedule and at their own time. Doing it right now is basically just asking to isolate people-I live alone right now in Glasgow. We're not allowed people in our houses, so basically if I wasn't on my phone I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone without forward planning. It's a good idea in theory, but it doesn't work in practice right now unless you're living in perfect circumstances.Well I personally loved digital detox day. My insta feed was full of real people I know and brands/celebs/influencers not jumping on the bandwagon. Cleansed of all the gleambots and Zoe stans who had detoxed off to pose in sunflower fields with books they aren’t actually reading and then have a Zoella lush bath bomb bath all to post the day after detox day. Lovely. I’m going to go through and unfollow a load. Thanks Zoe for encouraging me to unfollow all the crap accounts.
Truly a ridiculous campaign for influencers to be talking about the damage of social media and taking a day off. It’s them mostly causing the damage! And it’s nice of them to go away and remind us all to unfollow but the linking with buying a product as part of the detox is ridiculous. Ok it was partly going to charity but why not just partner with the actual charity! It’s just trying to get people into lush stores and buying other products.
Also the idea of a detox from social media at the moment is in poor taste. Many people as still social distancing, in quarantine, furloughed, worries about losing their jobs, have lost loved ones, are having tough days as key workers, social media is a life line for many at the moment as a way of seeing friends and socialising and feeling involved in the world, without meeting up and spreading the virus. Going on social media is a frankly harmless activity compared to many things at the moment.
Case and point, a post by Polly about digital detox day and how it left her depressed as she can’t see people at the moment because of the global pandemic. People like Zoe think life has gone back to normal because they can have Christmas slumber parties but it hasn’t for many.
I came to post Polly’s stories and I see someone already has. So yeah I just wanted to add I’m really glad she did that as it proves how important social media can be for people who live and work from home, especially on a weekend where it is still difficult to meet up with others and fill your time.
The pics Zoe’s posting now proves social media still did dictate her life yesterday as she was purposely getting shots to post today. Which in my opinion completely disregards the whole thing.
This was all a shambles. I use social media most to see what my friends and people I know are doing. People like Zoe being off it didn’t affect my life in the slightest. Good idea behind the whole thing but executed very poorly.

This whole thing is bizarre... what was the point of a DIGITAL detox is you’re just going to swap looking at social media pictures to taking a whole day’s worth of pictures to post on your social media the next day?? surely you’re encouraging people to look at your catch up posts longer than they would have yesterday 
Maybe they went because so many people say how quiet London is without as many tourists?
As if she put on her story ‘me and Alfie worked out that if you take away the 5 hours you spend on social media, that’s an extra 5 hours to do something else’ wowwwww groundbreaking stuff Einstein wonder how long it took them to ‘work that out’ 
Did you need a calculator for that hun

HAHAHAHA IT'S SO TRUE, I'M CACKLING YOU GUYS ARE TOO MUCH
Honestly how can you be more "present" when you're still taking photos for social media... just to be posted the day after?! And 5 hours per day on social, just showing yet again how detached she is from reality! You think people with real jobs are able to spend 5 hours per day on social media? Get a grip and do something with your life, Zoe.
Such a farce of a 'campaign' and a complete insult to those with mental health issues.
I know more and more people are breaking covid rules recently but the fact that Zoe does and then posts it to thousands of impressionable people is just...
Also how does she boast about only needing to wash her hair once every 1-2 weeks?! It looks so gross and greasy in those pictures on her story

surely her and alfie's head smells terrible. a good mix of sweat, bed head stink and hair products
Didn't she once go without washing her hair for more than a week? Even if your hair doesn't get oily you sweat and go outside where air is polluted. Gross
Ahhh that's where Alfies wax work ended up
Agreed. The fact she had Instagram fingers and was itching to check shows she has issues and all the posts of the campaign in Picadilly (the real reason she went to London) shows her level of narcissism
Her therapist should be helping her with all of this but I guess that's what you get with a Skype "therapist"
The problem is if Zoe has kids who end up resenting her, they will feel no way to bring up all her bs because they won't be her yes minions. I've seen it happen to narcissistic people who have kids and see their kids posts about "Urgghhh I wish my mum would go to therapy instead of pushing all her trauma onto me"
Zoe has an idealistic view that her kids will love her, that is not guaranteed

Wtf is the point in a digital detox day if you’re just posting all the things you did on the detox day the day after so stupid
so stupid
Oh come on! Who does she want to fool?
These stories are even taken using her usual filters so ofc she's used IG's camera!
Also I don't know about her, but in my vocabulary digital detox means not using the phone at all

what on earth is this horrible filter she's using?! Boots has turned teal!
I saw the posts and headed straight here. Its great that everyone here feels the same way I do. It's a bit of a farce of a campaign, an extravagant way to try and sell us a bath bomb and a complete insult to our intelligence and those who have mental health issues. An author who can't spell and Alfie looking like he's straining a number 2 out posing with notebooks, I imagine that's what he thinks hard work looks like.
I can't copeMaybe I am mean but this made me laugh. How dense are her followers? Imagine asking if you have to be in the UK to take a day offline?
I find it REALLY sad that people need an influencer to tell them to have a day off social media... A girl said she's "nervous." Jesus Christ. To me it shows how young and immature her followers are.

Seriously though, I don’t get this whole “dirty” trend. It’s awful.
I stopped posting to Instagram a couple years ago and it was largely because I had noticed that I kept looking at things I was seeing or doing, and automatically wondering how it would look as an Instagram post. I noticed I was always taking photos anticipating posting it later and lbr, subconsciously you’re really anticipating the fun of being looked at, and getting ‘likes’, so therefore, simply taking the photo is already engaging in part of that digital behaviour for the dopamine hit from social media. Truly unplugging IMO means phone down except for phone calls, disconnecting from digital devices altogether, and living life knowing it won’t later be recreated through filters on social media.
Going out and filming the day to post on your YouTube channel, whipping out your phone for constant pictures, posing for things knowing it’s going to be on Instagram in a matter of hours, and then of course seeing your digital detox day recreated online the next day in all its digital glory, really does take away from the intent of the day. So yes, I’m glad others have pointed this out too.
