Meghan has renamed her luxury lifestyle brand 'As Ever'.

'As Ever essentially means as it's always been, and if you've followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I've always loved cooking and crafting and gardening — this is what I do,' she said. '

I have to agree.
There's a lot of far more important stuff going on in the world right now. It seems so petty to be zeroing in on this.

@mathanxiety Of course there are more important things going on in the world. Fuck's sake there are more important things going on in my family , me included . But in my world one cannot live by seriousness alone - and H&M can be so entertaining in a sort of Larry David curb your enthusiasm cringe way - (though he is acting & trying to be funny tbf)
I really don't see hate on these threads & easily reported if it appears. Yes people are taking the piss at times and being critical but IMHO they've (H&M) set themselves up for it.

I just read that piece. Thoughtful living.
In the words of Pamela Shipman, oh my Christ!
Honestly, most women I know are absolutely overwhelmed at the moment.
Dealing with kids - who looks after hers?
Dealing with a sick parent - who looks after hers?
Family issues - doesn’t bother.
I am not saying we are all grumpy and not enjoying life because lots of us do are best to stay well, enjoy friendships etc.
But to me thoughtful living means will my other half finally move the bastard step ladders he said he’d move three days ago which we are now in a stand-off over. It means will I need another bastard root canal when I go to the dentist on Friday, who will charge me £500 plus for it. It means will I stay awake to watch Eastenders and will I wake up at 3 am wondering why I didn’t marry Simon Le Bon and what is going to happen to my lovely wallpaper if I get new windows done?
How many hairs will I find growing out of my chin tomorrow?
Why does my skin come out in hives every time I try new skincare?
Why is every part of my body, including my eyeballs, dry?
Will I ever be arsed to have sex again or will I just give up?
Thoughtful living. I’m too bloody tired. 😂

I’m also very tired. I first read the last bit as “will I ever have arse sex again or will I just give up” 😮😂😂

One rule for thee , another rule for me!

I think it'll take many years for them to shake off the "grifter" tag. If ever.
Neither of them seem that smart and they've made some terrible choices. But the weirdest thing is the huge contradictions: the private jets/environmental lecturing, the privacy/psuedo royal tours etc. Are they really so dim or badly advised that they can't see them? The South Park episode was spot on, and it just continues.
The security stuff is all nonsense and hot air. Harry's miffed that he's no longer seen as important enough to have police protection here. (And Meghan probably can't believe there's something you can't get by throwing money at it.) Look at Zara Phillips: she leads a busy life with 3 children and doesn't spend her life crying about security or being papped. If they were really that concerned about security they wouldn't have gone to 2 of the most dangerous places in the world, Colombia and Nigeria. And Harry thinks it's too dangerous to bring his children to the UK??
They should have banked Harry's millions, bought a smaller house in a less-millionairish neighbourhood and got on with some of their "showing and up and doing good". But that was never going to happen.
I'll definitely watch Love Meghan or whatever it's called, but only in the same way I watch Kirsty Allsop's craft shows, to roll my eyes and wonder if anyone's taken in by all the fluff and fake enthusiasm. Better make the best of it, as looks as though there'll only be one series.

my thoughts exactly.
It's racist and insulting

By their logic, posters calling my criticism of MM racist are being critical about me, and are therefore being racist themselves because I'm a WOC.

Best wishes to a lovey lady who was able to navigate the hatred and racism thrown at her. Watching her thriving and literally glowing from the inside is so inspiring. Keep shining beautiful Meghan, keep shining.

This might be the funniest thing I’ve seen on MN today.

(Not including Eau D’Ear which is world
class)

Edited

I'm glad you find it funny😊. What can I say? I'd rather bring a smile to someone' s face you know? Anyway since she is literally glowing she should also drop a skin care line.

Why do people still say it's anything to do with colour.
I find that pretty insulting and racist TBH that the defining characteristic of a person is the colour of their skin rather than their actions and personality

or lack of

American Riviera Orchard - what As Ever used to be called

its an allusion to Hermes rebranding themselves as Evri and expecting a different result

Thedom · 18/02/2025 16:40

BasiliskStare · 18/02/2025 16:18

I guess it doesn't even matter if the town takes legal action or not, the fact they ripped off something from someone else is the real kicker and now its public knowledge they are using a rip off logo.

What a chaotic mess this rebrand is.

I agree - a skincare line on QVC, or a collab with Walmart or some such? Definitely a good idea.

Her brand is certainly radioactive.

Didn’t Fergie sell stuff on QVC back in the day ?

It makes me think of UK version of The Apprentice too. Was it a task on the US version which is obviously famous for the Trump family starting as hosts ?

Ohpleeeease · 18/02/2025 16:45

I can’t think of QVC without picturing the French and Saunders Diamonique sketch

Thanks for the link.

"'As ever' means 'as it's always been' or some even say 'in the same way as always,'" said Meghan's post.

She should have called it "Stagnant".

PMSL at stagnant!
