I agree.TheChemist wrote:I wouldn’t trust that website where the company is showing ‘Rich’s family’ - I think it’s showing other people with the same surname to look at.
If you check Companies House, it’s just Lily as director of 1 company that she’s had for years to pay herself dividends for tax purposes. Her dad used to be a director too but isn’t any more

definitely agree that London living experience is super diverse and there are many people from many different backgrounds, but I think when people refer to her being "London born" as a privilege, it is justified and it's not necessarily to do with wealth. As someone who recently graduated and hails from the North of England trying to get a full time job where my industry of choice is almost ENTIRELY based in London, being London born and bred is a massive advantage if you are also trying to get into that industry in terms of being able to do work experience, unpaid internships etc.Tulips wrote:Sorry for the double post but I get the impression from these boards that some people think the majority of Londoners are wealthy and privileged; this is only in certain parts of the city. Most of the areas I know and grew up in are quite run-down and nothing particularly special, although house prices are now crazy but it wasn't always like that. The swanky parts of central London (that some people may associate with the likes of Niomi and Tanya) and the wealthier suburbs Lily is used to are a far cry from a lot of Greater London areas
Thanks for the insight, I really enjoy reading this forum not just to gossip about the Cereal Moaner but really also to learn what’s really going on outside the YouTube bubble parallel world.holly golightly wrote:definitely agree that London living experience is super diverse and there are many people from many different backgrounds, but I think when people refer to her being "London born" as a privilege, it is justified and it's not necessarily to do with wealth.

In a lot of industries like publishing, media, marketing it is expected that you would do months of UNPAID placements before you can hope to be considered for an entry level role but the only way to be able to do that is by having parents/family who live in London who you can live with rent free until you get paid. Of course, your family being able to let you live rent free is not an option for every Londoner, but it's almost impossible if you don't already live in London. I'm not convinced that a lot of companies I've applied haven't just looked at the top of my CV, seen "Yorkshire" and just thrown my application in the bin.
There's also been a lot of talk recently in the media about how London has almost completely monopolised a lot of industries and has disadvantaged the younger generation trying to find work in the rest of the UK because of it. Someone said to me recently when I was talking about my job hunt that at this moment in time, the biggest blessing a parent could give to their child of my generation is to live in London.
Just my two cents but I don't think it the comments are to do with the (incorrect) notion that "all Londoners must be wealthy".
It's not her new company though, it's 3 years old. Didn't Anna buy her a Lingua Franca jumper with 'New Kid In Town' emblazoned on it for her birthday? It's her favorite Eagles song apparently. She's never been a director of another company so all her vlogging sponsorship income etc goes through this.Tulips wrote:Sorry for the double post but I'm not surprised Lily has kept this new company secret; I should imagine loads of youtubers have made investments on the side. I'd be a little surprised if these were disclosed to us, actually.
Why is it again that she doesn't like to wash her hair? Is it because it's curly and she doesn't want to have to straighten it too often? Even if that's the case....if you can tell that your own hair is greasy and even put a silly hat on to hide it (as she said in her insta story today)....then why not on earth wash it and get it over with? God knows she doesn't have that much to do.Rosie Ribbons wrote:I can understand having greasy hair at home during the week but when your invited to a retreat/spa where you know you will be going to dinner etc is it too much to actually wash your hair - unbelievably lazy and I'm not sure she washed it for that graduation ceremony either!
If she ever went back to a 'regular' job, she would have a meltdown each time she'd have to wash and straighten her hair late at night because she won't have enough time to do it when she has to leave early the next morning to go to work like the vast majority of people.londongirl2001 wrote:Why is it again that she doesn't like to wash her hair?

She really struggles with what to do to her hair. The ends are thin compared to the crown of her hair, and it's because she lets her hair air dry, then flat irons it, then uses the flat iron to create a bend. I think she uses aserosol product to then give the top of her hair a bit of volume, something like the Ouai spray, but doesn't do much to the ends, which she tries to 'save' and get as much length as she can.Tulips wrote:If she ever went back to a 'regular' job, she would have a meltdown each time she'd have to wash and straighten her hair late at night because she won't have enough time to do it when she has to leave early the next morning to go to work like the vast majority of people.londongirl2001 wrote:Why is it again that she doesn't like to wash her hair?

You're right, she can't be doing that much, surely, even with the decorating at the moment. It's not as if she has to fit it all around a full-time job.
She needs to go to a proper salon that deals with curly hair (I don't know if Deva salons are a thing in the UK) and they will do wonders for her hair and fix it. I wish she'd embrace her curls. She totally ruined them. Alternatively, if she doesn't want to embrace the curls, she needs to take proper care of her hair like you said. Ditch the straightener everyday, do hair masks, minimize heat, find what works.bibbyslaw wrote:She really struggles with what to do to her hair.

If she used a flat paddle brush, blew dry her hair roughly, she'd probably be able to skip the step of straightening the life out of it to get it smooth.
All of this would be worlds improved if she dealt with those frizzy curly baby hairs along her hairline on her forehead. They give the game away.
I generally agree. I mean, personally, I try to go as long as i possibly can without washing my hair, the natural oils are better for your scalp and the health of your hair, but when I have an important social or work occasion where I would just feel too self-conscious about it (rather than a normal day at work or at home), I wouldn't dare leave the house with obviously greasy hair. I always use dry shampoo in emergency situations, but come on Lily, suck it up and wash your hair!!! it's so damn short too.. like it doesn't take that long to manage (trust me lily, I have super long, thick, hair, hence my trying to wait as long as I can to wash it), but FFS, she's on a yoga mat... presumably lying her head on it.. and it's hella greasylondongirl2001 wrote:Why is it again that she doesn't like to wash her hair?
