I'm sorry but this whole idea that Caroline somehow planned on slagging off on Susan Yara in the same week of her book release is laughable. Unless she's a psychic she wouldn't have been able to plan this. Y'all really give Caroline too much credit, she did NOT start this drama, she's not big enough to. She commented on it, the drama had already started when she mentioned it. Remember, Susan Yara is a much bigger deal globally than Caroline.

Not suggesting she planned it or started it, I just think she saw a bandwagon & jumped aboard. Her insta rants are better for engagement & publicity than a measured & grown-up analysis of SY’s shadiness, plus as this is probably now a legal matter, couldn’t all this social media finger pointing & handbag clutching preclude a fair trial?
 
Susan obviously did a shady (and likely illegal) thing not declaring it was her brand.

However I’m sure Caroline is glad of the timing and being able to make a rant-filled video for her IG so close to her book launch. Part of her brand has always been the illusion that she doesn’t put up with BS in the industry etc. (Though obviously she does when they pay her...)

On her latest stories, I can’t make out if either she’s really working herself up into a tizzy or it’s all for show (probably the latter), over giving updates on who’s got the most stock of her book... It’s pathetic! Are her fans seriously that desperate to get their hands on it that they care whether they get it tomorrow or Friday??? Ffs. 😂

If they are talking about the way Caroline addressed it, fine. But people are literally defending Susan Yara solely because she was called out by Caroline as if she hadn't done anything wrong to begin with. Anyway, I'm done talking about this since it's not a Caroline issue to me.

Now that Caroline has discovered Cyspera, she's talking about it everyday like she's the grande dame of science. She literally found out about Cyspera a week ago from Andy, and Dija had to give her the details on it via instagram live just days ago, she doesn't even know the proper way of using of it when she brought it on This Morning... Like mate, stop pretending, you don't know much about the product and you're not trained on it, the least you can do is use it for a while then talk about it. How gullible of people to not see right through her...

She has gone hell for leather about this book and where it‘s most likely to be sent to her flock the fastest. It’s all about the money and how much she can rinse from the fans.

That’s why she gets so hyper, thinking of all the dosh she making out of those poor suckers!! She doesn’t give a tit about them. I bet she laughs about them behind their back. And I don’t think I’ve heard her say Thank you.

AMEN
 
I do think Caroline was right to call her out Tbh what she did is no different to what other influencers do when they rant

interesting to see she follows J* when she’s very blm and is friends with Jackie aina

secondly I honestly don’t get how esthetician can charge which dija does up to £2k to clear acne? Sorry no for some things genuinely think you should go to a dermatologist

£2160 for 12 treatments is expensive but not over the top for central London. I wouldn't go for that kind of treatment plan bc I like a variety of treatments from different brands/people. But from what I've heard, Dija offers to different treatments within the same plan so you can do different things each time, which doesn't sound too bad. It is important to go to a derm to check on moles and get prescriptions (if you need it), but if you want to go for a specific treatment at a private practice clinic, they will charge you extra (about the same amount as someone like Dija) and the treatment itself will still be performed by an in-house aesthetician.

I think CH is in danger of burn out. Kudos to the management that she went to after Gleam they have really moved her profile up the scale; books, TV etc etc, BUT does she have to jump on every bandwagon going. It must be exhausting to be her.

I think that she has been savvy to monetise her USP.

What is irritating me about this bloody book launch is that the majority of people she is reposting with the 'bible' have either been given the book for free or have been given it for free and are mentioned in it so of courses they are going to be sycophantic about it. Has anyone actually read it????

In fairness I am sure it is a rehash of all her free content on her blog with some nice pictures thrown in.

Well done CH for getting the book deal in the first place, however it was inevitable as that is what You Tubers/Bloggers do next and as she shouts the loudest and is the Queen it was always going to be her.

One other thing I have thought about CH...she professes to be 12th generation counter girl, (lets call it what it is) and that the beauty industry is in her Swedish Cherokee blood etc etc however I am not sure I buy that. She worked in HMV when she first came to London (she may have mentioned it a few times) and then probably fell into counter work as she had no formal qualifications. There is nothing wrong with that but I am not sure it was a life-long ambition. She then has managed to move up the chain but one would query as to whether that was to get her off the shop floor for fear of frightening the customers.

I just wish she could deal with all the bandwagoning in a more measured way instead of being manic. She cannot be everything to everyone and she is in danger of just becoming a parody IMO.

i can’t believe how many people seem to have been given the book for free. Of course they are going to say good things about it! Whilst all her freaks and followers have to part with cash to get it. I wouldn’t mind a read but annoys me all the people that can afford to buy it get a free copy. Might wait until it’s in my local library

And if I remember she came to London as an 18 year old Nanny first. Phew, she’s packed in a lot!!

Or the pound shop!
 
Why is she getting her knickers in a twist because she was called a "fairy godmother" and "outspoken"??? Well Caroline, you have an opinion on bleeping EVERYTHING and shout at and shut down people who have an opinion that differs to yours. You swear and are aggressive in your opinion. You remove people from your facebook group for having an opinion different to yours and your minions. How can you possibly dispute that you're outspoken you complete and utter hole.


Also, she's selling bookmarks for her book for £24, one for every chapter of the book. What the duck??? Her 'freaks' really aren't right. I forgot how hard it is to go to an index and look up a page...

They aren't 24 quid. That price is for a product above them. I thought the same and checked
