In reply to Lena dee. Omg thank you so much! My friend Cleia wrote an amazing post about staying relatable as an influencer, and I found it really interesting! While I love getting free products to test out and write about, I just don't think it's worth it when your reputation is on the line. I mean I guess you can always receive the item and write a completely honest review on it. I don't know, I think it's something everyone has to learn as a blogger. You can't say yes to everything. You have to be geuninely interested in it! Thank you so much for reading and commenting Lena :) xxx

Yasss Mel! Preach! Homestly it’s amazing how many products are on the market and being offered to influencers when really and truly they shouldn’t even exist. But like everyone is so caught up in the SM world and the power they have to relay a message to others the more followers they have, however they hardly ever consider the message they’re delivering and the impact it can have. It’s such a shame tbh... wonderful post hun!! xx Lena | https://lenadeexo.com

In reply to carlarjenkins. I think the same exact thing. I'm all for supporting people who I love their work, but I won't support people for the sake of supporting people. It will clutter my feed, and then I won't be able to support people who I actually care about! xx

I can only promote things that I personally use. As a business blogger influencer, integrity is very important to me. Thanks for writing.

In reply to The Style of Laura Jane. Like you said, when you're an influencer you have to be careful about what you post and how you come across, especially in terms of health products. Thanks for giving your insight! I've never actually known anyone who's actually used the skinny teas and has had an experience with them. Thanks as always for reading :) x

People definitely have a right to be outraged! It's ridiculous to put all the blame on the youth and their parents. Both can only do so much without influencers in bombarding them. I'm glad people were outraged I would be upset if they weren't outraged.

I used to promote skinny coffee on my Instagram. I generally like the product and think it's amazing that it's all natural and uses 6 ingredients. However, I hated that they were marketing it as a weight-loss product and were offering intensives for people to talk about how much weight they lost using it, and taking before and after pics with dramatic weight loss. I ended up cancelling promoting.
I think it's so important that with health, you remain absolute honest. Of course, a good influencer should always be honest, but health is just an area where you take extra precaution. It is a shame that Kim chose to promote the lollipops. I remember reading an interview where Victoria Beckham spoke about sucking on frozen grapes to curb hunger pains, and I started doing it as well.
Great post girl - I think you make a perfect influencer and using me to be my true and best self!! 🙂 xxx
