ALSO, when Snappers post endless videos of their nights out. It's just groups of people screaming and dancing to loud music.
How the hell is that entertaining for your followers?

This irritates the crap out of me and I've unfollowed a few due to it. Drink and Snapchat just don't mix unless it's for you and your mates to watch!

It was!

MUF story on Snapchat yesterday was TORTURE.
Whatever about cheeto fingers (which I also think is an insult) I had fairly slim fingers after all the tap tap tapping I did yesterday!
As for this rubbish of screenshotting all the 5 people who enjoyed what you did......meh.
I'm unfollowing. Didn't find her attitude nice, and it has annoyed me on several occasions so going to take her advice & unfollow.

Huge supporter of MUF but didn't enjoy her snaps yesterday as I'm a lazy yoke with no interest in exercise. Wouldn't have minded even ten snaps or so and a chat about food even though I've no real interest. I'm glad she's found someone she's. obbviously. Happy with but would hate to see her ruin a career she built from nothing.

Did anyone else notice the huge difference in her body shape when Paul was filming her and then at the end when she was doing selfies? She sure knows how to work her angles.

I enjoyed the food snaps more than the gym snaps I must say. The gym ones went on way too long and the constant moving to the good light was ridiculous and obvious. They said they don't Normally snap as the gyms busy and they don't want to get any gym members in the snaps. Most of her snaps had other gym members In the background of them? That must be illegal? I'd be raging and embarrassed if I knew I was in someone's snaps.

I was surprised she let him film her and post unedited photos... Her body is in no way in bad shape, but it's not nearly how she presents it herself when she's in control of the camera. Tbh I don't think she's anywhere near ready for a bikini comp. I'm actually shocked that she allowed him to upload all of those snaps with no editing, the difference was huge.

I noticed a huge difference compared to her edited pics but I actually thought she looked fab in them. There was a softness to her shape which is very real and natural compared to her photoshopped ones. Her body looked far more in proportion compared to her "curated content".
The way she looked in those videos yesterday was real and something to aspire to because for most of us its a reachable target, whereas her regular edited pics look fake and unattainable.
If she showed pics looking natural more often and not in silly poses with a huge amount of editing she won't alienate a large portion of her audience who for the most part, are average shaped Irish women.

I got blocked by Joanne a couple of years ago on Instagram for telling her she shouldn't be snapping while at the gym as she was showing other gym members working out. You could see their faces and all. It was terrible. Could you imagine going for a workout and not having the most flattering videos/photos of yourself plastered all over her Snapchat. She tried to defend herself and said she couldn't see a problem with it! Once she looked ok in them she couldn't care less of other people's feelings. Lost all respect for her. Total narcissism.

Private jokes should be private! Also telling the world your bf is bringing you to tesco to get you Panadol for your extremely bad period cramps is so unnecessary as is telling everyone the sexy lingerie days are over...why??? Why do we need to know this? Who would want to share that?

Who said this? MUF?

Ray37

Yes it was MUF. She's gone overboard on the whole sharing of her relationship thing, and it comes off extremely forced IMO. I know a lot of her followers arent thrilled with it. God forbid they break up she will be freaking out and going on about how her life is 'private'.... Personally I am not buying the whole 'relationship goals' thing she's selling, doesnt seem authentic at all.

Ray37

To add, she is now using 'we' etc when describing new blog posts.... I'm truly baffled by this, I would NEVER want a fella involved in my career I'd built for myself.

Aren't they together all of 6 months? Oh the romance....
I unfollow her a while ago but she really seems happy to throw her career away for a pretty short relationship.

idunno78

Ya a bit to much TMI! Although ya would think she would have gotten him to get the stuff before he came home!? I think she is saying 'we' because from her snaps he seems to have wrote her lastest blog post!

Ray37

Yep, I think she is throwing it all away too. She's moved to the UK to be with him (she said before it was coz she was a big fish in a small pond being in Ireland, egotistical or what??) and I don't feel she is getting as much work there at all. I think the move was solely for him under the guise of extending her reach into the UK, but nobody knows who she is there.... Her is involved in every aspect of her life, her trains her, gives her diet advice, writes blog posts, and snaps on her snapchat. WFT is she doing?? He comes across like a total opportunist, and even said before he had googled her before they met.... She plugs his business non stop too, it's all a bit one way IMO...

I did notice though that one day she met up with a friend for lunch and on snap chat afterwards she said that her friend had moved over for her boyfriend too. So she gave herself away there. Now that you say it, he is involved with everything! That's slightly worrying. He is her content now.

He googled her before they net? Whaaaat??

Mellor

Not sure how I wandered in here. But I read a few posts and am I bit lost.
People are complaining about what other people post on their personal blog/facebookpage/instagram/snap chat. WTF?

Have I missed something? It's their own platform, they are free to post what ever they want imo. It's like saying you don't like a particular magazine because of the content.
I agree that certain content is annoying, but not following those people is easy.

So he had looked her up before they met ? That's so odd !!!

Gunslinger92

Those latest snaps are mortifying.. as is describing yourselves as "couple goals"

frogstar

They met in tinder and he googled as he thought it could be a catfish.

Nothing wrong with that but the way it's worded above makes what he did sound worse without knowing the context.

I'm no fan of hers but it has probably only pissed off a minority of her following. If they don't like it surely they can unfollow and move on. People change all the time it's only natural her content is moving but this is her platform. If she is Happy and is still making money the so be it.

That's crazy. When did she say they met on tinder?
He's saturating her life, its like someone with their first boyfriend.

I had a look at her instagram page there, since I unfollowed her (about a week ago) she's lost another thousand followers.
You say "so be it" but that's her core audience that she's losing.

frogstar

I think it was the live Facebook video they did together which is still there to see. I think she was a bit embarrassed about how they met but that's how people meet these days.

Off topic but I don't get the point of FB or Instagram live.

frogstar

Well she blocked me on Instagram for suggesting her makeup brushes were overpriced so that might be another reason her following is gone down

Which isn't good business sense either. If I don't buy the brushes and think they are expensive it doesn't automatically mean I'm a troll or not interested in future products

I'm sure I read recently that Instagram are deleting fake followers so that could explain her follow numbers falling lately

What's a fake follower?

fussyonion

Why does MUF speak so fast and in staccato pauses?

The only person I do not mind featuring friends or family is James Patrice. His Ma and sister are gas. He also comes across really genuine and nice and he never annoys me.

There are websites that you can go to and pay for followers. You can choose how many followers you want and then the company get fake accounts to follow you. They're basically robot accounts.

Ray37

The fake accounts will also comment simple comments like 'nice profile', 'nice pic' etc. It makes it look like you have way more followers than you do, and a lot more traffic on your page. Instagram is due to be deleting these, which is only right. If I had a brand and was collabing with someone only to find out a portion of their followers were bought bots, I'd be utterly raging.

I think FBG'S sister put the foot down on sharing her baby on Snapchat!

The baby's face was never shown I don't think either so I don't know why FBG bothered to Snap a foot or a hand. It's always got to be about her hasn't it?

Ray37

A certain blogger today shared a screenshot of the wedding dress she wants, she sent it to her bf via whatsapp, and put it on snap. She is the same one who features him non stop. Sorry, but that kind of stuff is way too much to share, like what's gonna happen if they break up?? She is coming across as a mega bunny boiler, and is gonna ruin her career if she doesnt stop showing him/giving him snap take overs/flogging his business...

Just saw that, his reaction 'umm OK..." runs and hides"', should have been enough for her to delete it but then she asks does he like it?
Jesus. I'd be cringing telling my friends let alone strangers that story.

She comes across utterly desperate to be with him and is happy to destroy her brand if it means keeping him around, what happened to independent women? Girl boss etc??

Ray37

Nope, not engaged!

How embarrassing! His response was really awkward as well, I'd be mortified if anyone saw that conversation never mind sharing it on social media!!

Ray37

It goes to show how little self awareness she has as to how she is perceived... Like, I'd say she thinks this is cute banter, but it's actually really embarrassing behavior.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I was wondering with the baby snaps yesterday if she was duffed

allym

It was said before but she really is like a 16 year old in the throws of their first relationship.

I really hope this does work out for them because if not she's seriously damaging her brand by having him front and centre of everything she's doing

Or the stereotypical almost mid 30's hearing biological clock ticking and desperate to settle down - they aren't even together a year.

I do hope it works out for her too, she's changed a lot from when I first came across her and she was a vital, energetic woman all about make up and much more interesting.

Ray37

I doubt she's pregnant, I think she wants people to think that's where her relationship is heading, and why she keeps posting snaps of baby clothes etc... It's like she's trying to create this picture of this couple that's heading down the aisle,with a baby and all that, but I don't think he's in the same headspace... I still think he's there to get followers/fame from her, it's how he  comes across anyway

retro:electro

Why was she snapping baby clothes

Ray37

They were in some shop and she was snapping them, not just one snap, a few...... Sooo clingy, if I was a fella and my GF of less than a year was doing that, I'd be legging it!! It's not like this is even private, there are thousands of eyes seeing this.

idunno78

It's funny he dosent show her on his S.M. She said she played a Prank on him yday that it was over in instastories so being nosy I went for a look. Wasn't on hers but his! She pretended she got her nose pierced but it never showed her just him reacting to it. He briefly said I can't show her face. Thought it odd! Unless she didn't want her to video her. Angles and all that!?

blairbear

I totally agree that Joanne has let her relationship with Paul take over her business. She needs to remember that her insta/snap etc IS her business. Her whole livelihood depends on it.

I actually don't mind if relationships are featured on any outlet if it's honest; at the moment we're given the impression that all of their time is spent in utter bliss together, himself buying her glittery toys at every petrol station (which is a bit they do), never arguing, both delighted to spend every minute together, no intrusion of real life at all. I would much prefer if a blogger actually wrote about real relationship challenges, if they choose to share that aspect of themselves. But Joanne's followers just want the filtered version of it. They're 16 and want the fairytale.

I do think she shares content that is really inappropriate at times. His insta stories also featured a "treasure hunt" that she wrote for him a couple of weeks ago. It referenced her knickers, what was underneath them and oral sex. I genuinely thought he had posted it by accident but it stayed up for the 24 hours.

I like Joanne when she is honest and vulnerable. She doesn't need to be upset or unhappy to be those things of course, but that seems to be the only time she allows the veneer to slip. I think she is very hard on herself, and who can blame her? If I get one nasty comment on my appearance in the space of a whole year, it will play on my mind. Horrible trolls comment on her on a daily basis. I feel for her in that respect.

IrishinOz

He does look like he is a lot younger so perhaps that is why he doesn't appear as keen when it comes to wedding dresses and baby snaps. Or maybe he's just more business savvy and that is why he chooses not to add others to his SM and keeps it more business focused.

laylag

Ah lads I am scarlet for her.
I think even though they are similar in she he seems v young compared to her. Definitely not on the same page.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

He's 29 she's 30

Thanks be to jaysus I missed the knicker thing!!
