right someone hold my cup of tea!
firstly... whether you believe it or not is irrelevant... but that is actually Mrs Hinch...
secondly... what a bunch of salty, nasty, gossiping bitches you lot are... Sophie is genuinely too nice of a person to say that to you, or even think it for that matter, but guess what... i'm not.
you can't just see a woman doing well in life and more importantly doing so much to help others in the process, and bringing so much positivity into a world which is so full of negativity the majority of the time, and congratulate her and wish her well. oh no... your jealous response to her success is to attempt to rip her to shreds and to nit pick at every single aspect of her as a person, and of her life... it honestly makes you pathetic and it makes you incredibly sad.
she's just a girl who enjoys cleaning and interior decor and whilst she chose to put her instagram on public yes, she did not expect for it to blow up like this in the short space of time that it has. yes, if you put yourself in a public space, expect opinion. no one is disputing said fact. but there are ways and means to express yourselves so that you don't come across like complete arseholes. you've made it personal and you've said horrible, nasty things about her. you've ganged up on her in this thread and bullied her and honestly it's disgusting to witness. this is mumsnet for Christ's sake! is this the sort of behaviour you will teach your children? would you want people attacking your kid like this one day? you should honestly be ashamed of yourselves!
stop talking down to her like she is shit on your shoe. she has disclaimered so many of her videos saying that it's how she uses products and that as responsible adults, everyone should be reading labels themselves and using products as per the manufacturers guidelines. just because she doesn't behave in a condescending, patronising manner and force this on people, does not make her irresponsible. also, the point RE affiliate links... educate yourself before you open your mouth... in the UK we are not required to declare them like people are in the US, and she makes absolute pittance off of them anyway so it's somewhat a mute point. so many of her followers have said they wished she was sponsored or was getting something out of this, so i doubt very much they would even bat an eyelid at a few affiliate links.
instead of sitting behind a keyboard and bullying a beautiful girl who is just trying to get by and help whoever she can in the process, why don't you lot go and make your own lives more fulfilling so that you don't feel the need to rip someone else's happiness to feel better about yourselves?
all the best!
