What have I just read….

Made my sandwich and crisps blush…

Well there’s no credit crunch in their house.

A lot of crunching sounds coming from the bathroom, though.

I forgot all about the Amanda Bacon one! What amazes me about that is how often she eats. There are no proper meals, just constant supplement laden snacking.

She's doing well if she's getting all these ingredients looking fresh too- because having just come back to uk I'm shocked how poor a lot of the fruit and veg is in terms of freshness and shelf life- and that's shopping at Waitrose and M&S -- I've taken to paying a bit more at the farm shop for veg (and some meat too) - but obviously they don't grow oranges or bananas!!

Beautiful. You have a beautiful, chocolate covered soul, viques. I understand just how hard it is to be that empathic.

Jesus, sorry, that nest of posts is an abomination.

Think of it as bulking fibre for the thread.

I had to stop reading half way through 2nd day.
You know the Charlie Brown cartoon where the teacher is 'wah wah whah wha wha wha.....' thats what it sounded like as I read it!
So bloody pretentious!

Me….
crawled out of bed, cat had been sick on landing.
Cheerios for brekkie
did me job until lunchtime, crusty knob and ham for lunch with cheese and onion hoola hoops.
back to work but skived to put a wash on and did an online shop between calls to HMRC.
Tea was potato waffles, beans, egg and bacon.
watched Eastenders and Stranger Things.
had a brew
Bed.

YABU to read something called "Your guide to a more stylish life." I can't help but wonder if she knows she hasn't got a bra on and her blouse has come undone

That's someone with too much spare time. So pretentious. I bet she really eats pastie sandwiches with brown sauce and lots of butter.

Home bargains have them in, also I found them today at the till of the spar in a local petrol station.

Same - it's bloody ridiculous and I'd do nothing except shop, cook and clean up to eat like that, but a lot of it sounds like the sort of food I like to eat - except the bloody smoothie bowls, gross.

Did think some of it sounded a bit lacking in protein and calcium too.

Sorry, I nearly threw up in my mouth when I read "crusty knob."

I bet she has a tinkling laugh, wild but manageable hair and wafts around in effortlessly chic unstructured linen garments in tasteful shades of khaki, taupe and cream; espadrilles that are woven from cashmere strands naturally shed in the thorny bushes on the foothills of the atlas mountains :rides around town on a marvellous vintage shop messenger bike(,which she painstakingly restored to its original glory) and in her spare time runs an organic kambucha brewery which is just about to go public and multi-national

Sounds exhausting. But she is a nutritionist so has to pretend she eats all that while secretly scoffing pizza

Whilst it all looks very healthy and delicious I think she may be cancelling out a lot of the good she’s doing by eating out often which will no doubt include a glass or two of wine or cocktails. How fabulous it must be to live that life. I’m an advocate for healthy living but realistically the average size 12 mum of 3 in Birmingham isn’t going to be able to relate to her.

Ewww He doesn’t wash it then?

She sounds either insufferable, a liar, or both.

But it’s exactly what you’d expect from the Sheerluxe website. I stumbled across it a while back and it’s strangely addictive - as far as I can tell it consists of various posh thin blonde women selling very expensive things to each other. So Jemima will bang on about her jewellery business, Rose will be touting her fancy tablecloths, and Alice will be charging £500 an hour to tell you to eat more vegetables.

And the founder of the website has the surname Coleridge Cole, which I find very amusing.

I may have too much time on my hands…

Well there’s no credit crunch in their house.

To be fair she might not be able to afford a bra or hairband after spending a month's salary on poncy food? (Or shoes since it's not a full length pic)

Apart from the lack of carbs/cheese/chocolate I'm really unhappy with the amount of times she uses the word nourishing! (I really hate the word - not sure why!)

btw I hoped to set up a reduced price lindt bunny sanctuary after Easter but they had all been rescued.

I was too exhausted to read past the first paragraph.

Probably because she's bloody starving, given that there is very little substance in her food at all. I just love that her name is Bacon 😁must be so triggering for her to be named after processed food - the horror!

There's a certain type of actress/wellness blogger/ influencer that really buys into all this crap - it's all very Gweneth Paltrow and her Goop nonsense. It's the new kind of elitism, only those who can afford all these expensive ingredients and can spend ages prepping flavourless food can join in - the new rich person cult.

I can't help but feel a bit sad for them, none of it seems enjoyable at all - and I'm someone who eats healthy, is a vegetarian and likes vegetables. But FFS they are all so joyless and militant about it, with a million weird ingredients nobody has ever heard of.

If anyone wants more food ridiculousness, there's a woman on Youtube called Abbey Sharp who is an actual dietician (as in, actually qualified in something) who critiques these celebrity diets. Some of them are truly ridiculous.

'Did think some of it sounded a bit lacking in protein and calcium too.'

She'll be one of those people who thinks you can stave off osteoporosis by adding kale to your salad a couple of times a week.

'I'm someone who eats healthy, is a vegetarian and likes vegetables.'

Me too! But in a curry, or fajitas, or cauliflower cheese or great mounds of buttered carrots with a roast chicken

What a bell end. Roasted celeriac for breakfast? Have a day off.

Omg I'm howling, all these replies are why I love Mumsnet. Thank God we're capable of seeing through the shite! 😁
