Her wedding looks like a child planned it. Everything looks cheap and awful and centred around food (obvs). She cheapened out on a photographer looking at the photos or the photographer gave up because there was nothing they could do to make Emma look good.

Edit. I looked at the photographer's portfolio. Lovely portfolio, they clearly didn't know what to do with Emma haha
We did our wedding on the cheap. We were both utterly broke students who got a little money given to us from both sides of the family. My dress was £100 from BHS and a friend who was training to be a dressmaker altered it. I told my bridesmaids to choose a dress each they liked and would wear again and as long as it vaguely fitted my colour scheme idea I was ok with that (I had one very tall thin bridesmaid, one very petit one, one pregnant one and one child) and I paid for their dresses once they told me what they wanted. I printed and made our own invites. I approached a local restaurant we knew and loved and had been to many times (and we still do) and they did me a really good deal for a wedding lunch with wine for our guests and my dad provided champagne and there was a pay for your own bar. The flowers and cake were professional but simple. The whole lot cost us £3000. That was twenty years ago, mind. That blog post makes her sound selfish and childish and not very nice at all. I think if someone is happy with their wedding day then that’s the most important thing so if she was happy and the guests enjoyed it then that’s what matters but she makes it sound awful.

I know a few people who had weddings on the cheaper side and the whole set up was stunning. I think it just come down to style and taste, if you have none (Emma) it’s going to look tit no mater how much is spent. But I agree just sounds like everyone was getting shouted at all day
 
Predictable as ever Imma 🙄
What time is the next oooo. Sure she’ll be okay for that.

Honestly though I actually feel sorry for her. I’ve said on here before I stopped following as she is draining but really could do with a social media break. She’s got herself in a situation where she can’t as that’s obviously how she makes money. It’s not like her income dropping means they can live on Tony’s wage. Their whole livelihood depends on Emma’s socials and blogs from what I can tell. So she’s just in this spiral of feeling she has to post for the sake of it.
 
Imma - again I need to correct you - it’s Citaloptam. Guess what - I take it too !! Like millions of other people !
Missing one dose , as you take a smallish dose, 20mg, won’t make you feel ‘out of it’. Missing 2-3 doses in a row would though.
Stop digging for sympathy. Get on with your bloody day, do something that isn’t purely focused on you for once !
💯 I’m on Sertraline 100mg if I miss one day it’s not the end of the world, 2 days and it’s close!! I was also advised to take it in the morning as I have sleep issues and the first two days I didn’t sleep at all. I don’t make a huge song and dance about being on it, those who need to know know but Facebook acquaintances don’t!

There’s the expensive bag one tonight at 8, she’ll be on there buying something I’m sure.

I get she’s got this passive income going on, but surely you’d want to get a part time job just for a bit of routine. Her passive income is basically down to scamming people and that could dry up at any point. Surely you’d want to keep skills such as being approachable, working with customers etc? When this all flops, and it will. She will be unhireable because she’s so out of the real world now.

I'm not sure how much of her income comes from Instagram stories to be honest, she has lots of blogs and links set up making her passive income and even employs people to write blog posts for them. I don't think she needs to post most of what she does to get the current engagement/income she already has. Her problem is she is using her business insta page as her personal diary venting every minor inconvenience or upset to the world. Imma has a sad thought and her first reaction is to post it online. It's weird.

Well not directly. But she’s always pushing affiliate links on there isn’t she? Certainly used to. Also I think if she didn’t post on stories then people wouldn’t think to look at her websites etc. If she’s constantly on there you are constantly reminded of her and subconsciously more likely to visit her sites.

I’ve not idea to be honest how it works but posting like this doesn’t do herself or her brand any favours

Oh for sure, but I don't see aff links thst often, maybe 2 or 3 times a week? I know you have to post other stuff to keep people engaged but I've seen other people on Insta do this and increase a following without over sharing. Her posting so much about how her brain works just makes her vulnerable and feeling vulnerable will contribute to poor mental health. I don't think she's tied into posting like this to insta, she could absolutely change her approach and still make money
 
Two points about the new display shelves - firstly I would never have to bribe my husband to do anything around the house, he'd just do it unasked. Secondly I'm pretty sure that perfume should be kept out of sunlight because the sun will affect the colour and scent and with so many bottles on the go it will take ages for them to be used up.
I guess having one bottle that you use every day on your dressing table won't have time to spoil but not a whole shelf of them
 
I’m a really tit female 🤣 I have no skincare routine and I take my makeup off with makeup wipes lol but I’m really fortunate I’ve had about 3 spots in my life and I’ve got really good skin .... so is it possible to get bad skin from overdoing a skin routine badly? She clearly buys everything she sees so could she be literally using 10 products at once and making it worse?

I hate you!!! You lucky devil!!

I really think that she over shares on Instagram because she hasn't got any friends or family to share things with, talk things through, go to for advice, etc. - she's done a stellar job of alienating everyone aside from Tony (her husband/employee, as she likes to remind him).

I just don't know how many more years her passive income bubble can last for before it bursts, but I don't see how it's sustainable until she reaches retirement? Not sure what she'll do for work once that dries up or even how she'll motivate herself to go to work if she does manage to get a job. Would hope for her sake that she's got plenty of investments, but I doubt it.

I always think she would have been so comfortable in later life if she was good with money. She clearly earns or did earn decent money and could have had a hefty savings pot. She also didn’t need a house that big and could have saved there. It’s quite evident by her spending habits that money literally runs through her hands like water, it’ll eventually run out.

Her Twitter is literally the same 5/6 blog posts tweeted out all the time and they are crap posts. I think she was in a lot of blogging groups but in those you have to reciprocate so if you share a post you have to comment on others blog posts and she is too lazy and inert to be bothered.
I have no idea how she makes money. I think it’s link selling must be the main source.
 
Imma get off my phone in a minute.....

Wait. So she turns it blue or pink so tony knows her mood? Can’t she just tell him? I understand it could be useful for adults/ children with social and communication difficulties but she’s a grown adult???

Considering she loves to show us how often she texts tony, couldn't she just say "Tony I'm feeling a bit down. Can we have some touches to cheer myself up". She doesn't struggle to communicate with him.
 
I think she signed up to something like tailwind to post on twitter and can't be bothered to change the settings so it just reposts the same few posts. I don't think she makes much money from instagram but brands like to know how many social media followers you have. I think most of her followers come from the poundland appreciation society. She probably has a lot of passive recurring income from people who used her links to sign up for sites like profit accumulator and blue host. Her blogs have thousands of affiliate links so I doubt she will run out of money soon. Personally I think she could just leave instagram and still have enough to live on but she enjoys the attention. (even if it is mainly negative).
