WOAH, you've completely hit the nail on the head in regards to how I feel about her. When I first found her, she was so refreshing; laid back, cool, had her own style etc. A few months ago she took on this really forced persona where she started throwing trends on everything and adopted this really aggressive way of speaking. I actually think it's because people liked her original quirkiness so she thought that by adding more she'd make people happy/get more followers. She really is naturally beautiful but it kills me when she preaches about self acceptance because, ironically, everything about her appearance is completely fake.Lazygirl191 wrote:Bassically, when I first came across this girl in 2015 watching her going blonde vid, I instantly found her so interesting, cool and inspiring. And yeah for a while I was obsessed with her videos and Christmas vlogs. I thought she was so sweet and just a normal teenager documenting her life and being content with life. Litualy felt she changed my life and sometimes I still look at the old videos for motivation but the beginning of 2016 I felt it started to change quite a bit. She started to talk differently didn't do many vlogs and started to change her appearance completely. Going from her cute 70's Boho look which btw I thought really really suited her, to this weird early 00's phase. I felt I couldn't really relate to her anymore, going to loads of festivals and trips even though she quit her job so couldnt possibly have thr money for all those festivals and before anyone says, she's not known well enough to be payed the big bucks from YouTube. For a while I started feeling shit she started to contradict herself saying in her old vlogs that she dosent wabt to only vlog the good days and portray her life as this superior unrealistic thing. Welk going to all these festivals and holidays started to put me down, like how the hell like I said was I ever gonna relate to her like she wants young girls to??? And when people make critical comments she bites their ass off and dosent take it in with maturity. Only thinks everyone's out to attack her which has now made her speak to her fan Base like she's some superior bitch and no one else will ever make it like she has. She sells over priced clothing on her depop which u can buy for way cheaper on eBay and may I add people have also noticed this. She dosent answer any questions when it comes to her appearance to give this impression that she's so naturally beautiful which everyone is of course but she's had lip fillers and God knows what else. She says everyone's beautiful in their own way but she recently commented on an old picture of herself on her Facebook saying how chubby she looked. This made me feel insecure as I'm no where near as skinny as she is. Now I've came to my senses and dosent care but seriously??? How can this girl be a rolemodel?? She's fake and stuck up. I'm so so so upset and disappointed in what she's became. She was the first youtuber I took interest in and loved her. But now I actually find her so fucking annoying. She's on and off with YouTube like now she's hardly on social media only posted pics when she went traveling with her new boo after Henry left her (which I think is why she's turned sour) and now dosent give a shit to the people who look up to her. Whatever man, I used to want to be like her but it's taught me more than ever to not have an unhealthy obsession and compare urself to someone completely different and insecure with themselves because it caused u to be the same. I'm just gonna do me, at the end of the day she can't even do that and it's sad.
The situation with her dreads is just so awful as well. She had POC literally telling her she was being offensive, and she couldn't of given less of a shit. That really shocked me because when I first found her channel she immediately struck me as someone who was very caring and conscious of other people's feelings.
I do think that Henry seemed very normal and I always assumed he kind of kept her feet on the ground. If he did break up with her, I wonder why? Maybe the constant festival going and partying was all a bit too much for him. Her new boyfriend is very attractive but I was surprised how quickly she moved on and how quickly she felt comfortable to go travelling with someone that she couldn't have been seeing for more than a couple of months. Even more surprising is that she's now moving to Bristol where her boyfriend currently lives, I wonder if she is moving in with him.
Finally, NOTHING annoys me more than when people buy absolute shite in charity shops or on ebay and try and sell it off for extortionate prices. She was selling some really ghastly items that actually just looked plain dirty/old and wouldn't look good on anyone. The thing is you damn well know she'll refer to this as 'hustling' or 'grinding' in order to follow her dreams; but she's straight up ripping off massive fans of hers, who probably wouldn't ever purchase these items if it wasn't her selling them.
I really do believe that she has a sweet soul and a kind heart but it seems like she is getting wrapped up in some weird shit atm. I don't want to place too much judgement on her or her life though because she's at that age where she is becoming an adult and going through a lot of changes. I too, am a little disappointed with her 'transformation'. But I guess that if she is in a truly happy place, then good for her.
