I do like that she shows us close ups of her actual skin rather than a smoothing filter. I think the darker lips work better on her skin tone than those iced pinks she was showing last.

Yeah, the skin thing is very commendable. I think darker lipsticks are better for her because she has nice full lips and look a bit vampy with a bold lip. Girly is not really her thing ;)

And? I thought it was part of a PR event, so crappy planning of the company and not Katie’s fault?
Also I am so fed up with this narrative. Are we now going to complain that it was disrespectful of J K Rowling to use Latin for her spells in HP, because Romans treated people in England badly? Are we going to stop using any elements of any culture that is not your own? Well, in that case translating literary works from one language to another is disrespectful, because translation is a form of rewriting and not a direct retelling?

I agree. Are we all supposed to just ignore every other culture and ‘stick to our own’ now rather than explore and enjoy other interesting elements of the world? Calling out “cultural appropriation” sometimes seems to be an excuse to keep everyone in separated boxes rather than encouraging unity. I understand acknowledgment is important but otherwise it just seems an exercise in showing off how offended you are, often on behalf of someone else, and for nothing more than to gain woke points.

Yes! Also may I just point out that it’s sooo bad to do it if we are talking about BIPOC culture, and yet making fun of Russian/Italian/etc culture and language is acceptable?
Babooshka by Kate Bush is all over Instagram and TikTok and yet the singer herself didn’t know why the word meant and not do any of the people using it? And all the mafia jokes about Italy on TikTok? And pasta recipes with fake Italian accent on TikTok? That’s fine.

I am interested in the response from others on this point as I was not aware that some may have considered it offensive. I have not made my own mind up yet or the broader topic 🙂
 
I think if you didn't know, you haven't done anything wrong unless you continue doing whatever insensitive thing. My understanding of native culture is that practices can be extremely sacred and the issue is more with people using it as 'fun' without knowing what it means. She didn't mean any harm and I don't think the commenter was trying to attack her, just make her aware for the future, which is fine.

Did we watch the allergy test video? I'm suspicious of the science behind these tests, she seems suspicious of the results as well.

Just glad the commenters are saying she needs to go to a doctor and get a skin test. Not like she'll listen.

Yeah, it's probably good that she's doing another test (tests) but she already spent quite a bit on the first one. I would insist on that dietitian appointment included with test if I were her, even if it's just on Zoom.
However, even the NHS website says this:
"A number of companies produce food intolerance tests, but these tests are not based on scientific evidence and are not recommended by the British Dietary Association (BDA)."

I am not familiar with how you get tested here in UK (never had to do one and it's different back home) but could she not pay to have some proper tests done privately ? (or maybe she's fishing for a clinic to contact her and sponsor the test - the influencers don't pay for anything these days)
She was very surprised to find out she was intolerant to rice, it's not that uncommon, happened to a friend of mine too

The comments under that video are pretty interesting. Everyone is just saying how she needs to go to the GP and its stupid spending silly amounts of money on these internet tests. I actually feel for her - I'd feel like shite after reading so many neggy comments. But hopefully she learns from it.
 
I like her recent vlogs. She can be a little irritating (like anyone...) but she seems to have taken on board some of the feedback from christmas time, and the content’s improved a lot. The diet stuff is interesting and declutters are a guilty pleasure!
I also think raising awareness of the foodbanks is no bad thing, I can’t criticise her for that. The book was naivety, but I have to admire her for committing and giving it a go with no guarantees.

Is anyone still watching her youtube videos after she stopped vlogging? 😅

LOL you're too nice matey

But I agree that's good she's taken some feedback onboard :giggle:
 
smudging or room cleansing is apparently big with Mormons and Catholics when getting ready for an exorcism.

the pr people didn't research enough. feel bad for her, she takes these things to heart.

less bad if daddy G wades in, so hopefully he'll keep his trap shut. I can't believe she fancies him tbh, yes he is tall with a decent job and his own hair / teeth, but their personalities seem at odds.

Is this how low the expectations are these days? :cry:

"smudging or room cleansing is apparently big with Mormons and Catholics when getting ready for an exorcism." - sorry if my following comment is a bit crass but are we hoping here she will stop laughing like a possessed person every time Maurice is being a cat?

Edit: speaking of Maurice...

(Ok, grumpy Maurice is actually cute)

And she did realise she got the days wrong
