Mrs hinch- recycling

20 replies

Beaverhausen · 21/02/2019 09:52

For all the hinch fluffies if you do not like what I have yo say please do move on. I am sure you have some hinching to get on with. No doubt she will be kept updated on the latest blog about her.

So I have a look at her profile very now and then as I need a good eye roll at least once a week.

I am quite concerned about her total lack of respect for recycling. For instance every time she goes shopping new plastic bags. Where are your reusable bags Mrs hinch? What do you do with the bags you buy every time? Or are people from Essex exempt from recycling?

She never uses cruelty free products other than those sent to her to advertise, her over use of cleaning products and purchasing of it when every nook and cranny in her house is filled to the brim with them already.

How can people find her compulsion for buying tat and buying things she clearly does not need so enthralling?

To me Mrs hinch and her whole hinching is what is wrong with this world. I had to laugh when she started using the Mari Kondo method of folding and called it #hinched.

Sorry Mrs hinch but I think your excessive buying of things you do not need would be Marie Kondo's worst nightmare.

I see absolutely no benefit in anything she does other than getting people to spend money that most of her followers probably do not have.

I don’t dislike her in the way a lot of MNers do but I think she actually exhibits a lot of really compulsive behaviours that I think she needs help with, not a raft of adoring fans encouraging.

I also think it’s hugely environmentally unfriendly.

Mewe · 21/02/2019 10:12

She seems very clean but so bloody bland.
It really concerns me about her lack of recycling and lack of cruelty free products too, OP.

ILoveMaxiBondi · 21/02/2019 10:17

I don’t follow Mrs Hinch, I doubt I could pick her out of a line up. I’m not a fan of the type of thing she is selling/promoting/encouraging.

But

You need to give your head a wobble. You actually go seeking out things to aggravate yourself over? Come on, are you 14?

pregnantforever · 21/02/2019 10:17

I have often wondered how somebody (especially just a couple not even a large family) can buy so much stuff on a daily basis. She empties out big bags of tat daily. But where does it go?

I'd like to think she donates it.

It must cost a fortune.

I was mortified the other day after washing one ofnthe baby blankets she sprayed it with the carpet deoderiser. That can not be good.

The problem is that quite a lot of her followers suffer from mental health issues like anxiety and depression. And unfortunately the high of going to the shops buying your hinch hail and everything else she puts on there with money that some of them more than likely do not have, will only be a very short high until you realise you have spent money you do not have. (This is just my assumption).

Surely there is more she can do to help people with anxiety and use her Insta fame for some good use by highlighting mental health and getting people involved with good healthy tips to combat bad days other than spending.

@ILoveMaxiBondi I was being sarcastic but like any woman can be nosey hence why I have a peruse once a week or so. And am shocked by her lack of recycling etc.

I do believe having a clean or tidy and organised house can help with good mental health.

No doubt I will be called jealous somewhere but all I am saying is she is not sending a very good message to probably most who follow her.

But why when you don’t like what she does and know it just annoys you to see it? Confused that’s a bit weird.

Widowodiw · 21/02/2019 10:38

Yes all those cleaning products I themselves are great for the environment - not! Which is a shame as she could use her platform to promote change .

Pinkiii · 21/02/2019 10:45

I agree.

A lot of her followers have no clue how bad all the stuff she uses are, especially mixing all sorts together.

I feel sorry for the baby she will be bringing into that enviornment.

ImNotKitten · 21/02/2019 10:53

I’ve heard of her but don’t follow her and have just looked her up. There’s a recent post about using wood balsam on an ikea tv unit 😂

I find any of these cult followings on social media weird.

pregnantforever · 21/02/2019 10:58

Oh god. Why would anybody do that to a baby blanket?

Pinkstars2501 · 21/02/2019 13:05

Why we’re you mortified?
It’s not a great thing to do so I can understand if you were shocked. But mortified? Not so much....

Pinkstars2501 · 21/02/2019 13:05

Were....autocorrect

lastqueenofscotland · 21/02/2019 13:37

There is a Facebook group of fans of hers too which has some terrifying stuff like putting highly flammable products in plug ins etc

SeededGhost · 21/02/2019 13:43

I agree that she promotes a very wasteful lifestyle and I find that depressing.

Just like all companies that advertise.

Surely there is more she can do to help people with anxiety and use her Insta fame for some good use by highlighting mental health and getting people involved with good healthy tips to combat bad days other than spending.

Like bookies should run Gambling Anonymous meetings instead of taking people's money?

Like McDonald's should stop selling burgers so all the fat people don't get fatter?

Like pubs should only sell soft drinks in case an alcoholic walks past?

She is a woman with an instagram account. She is not single handedly responsible for the demise of the planet, animal cruelty and the mental health of the population. I'm sure if she wanted to run a page on mental health she would but she seems to like cleaning so leave her to it.

sparkli · 21/02/2019 18:39

I really want to know if she thinks she'll be holding the dog's hand until he falls asleep once the baby arrives. Hmm I think she's in for a big shock!

DorothyZbornak · 21/02/2019 19:31

I think her 15 minutes are going to be up shortly. There's only so many times people can look at Zoflora and a dog.
I suppose when the baby comes along, that'll be a new angle for a while.

Oh, and is it just me or does anyone else often sense a lot of tension between herself and her mother?

scaredofthecity · 21/02/2019 19:38

I only just found her but I can't help but watch, it's addictive!

She's definately a collector, a basket of bin powders?! She was given a bath bomb and so has bought 15 to put in her new bath bomb basket Grin. Her cupboards must just be full of cleaning and smelly bits. Where's all the pans and utensils!

She seems lovely enough, I feel like watching her I'm doing my housework by default... its not working though.

I will definately be watching when the baby comes Blush

Thatsnotmyotter · 21/02/2019 19:41

She’s going to be in for a shock when that baby comes along and she either has to hand the cleaning reins to her partner, forget about it entirely, or leave her baby screaming to splash some
Zoflora about.

Thatsnotmyotter · 21/02/2019 19:45

Also where will all the garsishly coloured baby tat go? (I’m looking at you hideous jumperoo takin g up half my living room!)... There is literally no colour in that house 😳
