    It's grand, I was just saying I thought she hadn't hit 30 yet is all..I didn't mean anything towards yourself or condone her behaviour in anyway..was just mentioning what I thought.

    Ah no I know that I just wanted to be clear I only mentioned her age in regards I feel the older you get the more you realise if you want longevity then you need to be open honest and half content that appeals to anyone who not still in school.
    I don't know where Joanne's niche is it seems to be all over the place.
    Like Rosie's market would be the young mothers into fashion and beauty ect.
    The beautiful truth to me would be the kind of slightly oldee mother into different skincare make up fashion ect.
    Who is Joanne's target audience does anyone know between all the promoting I've no idea.

    I've actually never followed The Beautiful Truth. I've seen her mentioned here quite a bit, always positive mentions and I think I've checked out her instagram the odd time. I dont know why I've never fully committed to following her but am 100% going to follow her after reading that article this morning. She comes across so lovely and everything I want in a blogger. Every single point she brought up was bang on.

    She's either lying on FB, or she put her wrong date of birth down when she registered her business name with the CRO :D

    Pippa started off so well with the #ad today in the clothes shop. She gave up though pretty quickly.

    I've never heard of the shop before, but I presume they are making a huge investment using her. Hoping the pippa effect happens I suppose.

    I got bored, it was literally just snaps of different clothing and a few oohs and aahs. Then the scripted questions of course.

    She sure did! First couple of snaps with #Ad and then nothing for the next 30! I thought it was an extremely boring way of "showing"off the shop. Getting paid for going around the shop snapping each item. Like seriously, is this what it has all boiled down to.... No imagination gone into it at all and I'm sure she's getting a nice few bob for doing it.

    Interesting two complaints here
    http://www.asai.ie/complaint/health-beauty-8/
    http://www.asai.ie/complaint/health-beauty-4/

    I did notice the usual people complaints about on here have never shown up except them.  I would have thought Grace's skinny tea comment would have been grounds for an investigation also.  She clearly said you can lose five pounds from drinking it.

    Agree,she has never worked this hard at hashtagging before.Crazy though to think they are being paid to promote rsa and safety belts.Would have loved to see them give their time to the cause and maybe donated their fee to the cause.Also what was the statement that herself with a few other key influencer s where asked to hilight the RSA....Sj a key influencer?

    I noticed that too. She always has to get little passive aggressive digs in. This time with "key influencers" and before she has said things like "I'm one of the long term/old school bloggers". She can't hack that there are up and coming bloggers that are showing her up and are more honest and transparent than any of the older ones who should know the score by now.

    I nearly choked on my fairy burger when i heard that and had to drink my cup of skinny tea to revive myself...calling herself a Key Influencer!

    I've reported both Faces and Fairy to ASAI, had enough of the non disclosure. If everyone else has to play by the rules in terms of revenue/tax etc, why should these be exempt? If it's kept up I think we will see some changes. Rosie is doing very well on this #ad business, I had gone off her majorly, then re followed, and she's become pretty transparent. Really impressed. She's got a much better attitude lately and it's making me warm to her. Fair play like, it only others could take a leaf out of her book. She's also stopped unboxing as much as she used too, and the RNLI snaps she did were fantastic, nice to see a platform being used for good :)

    It's just occurred to me.  Cherry Sue said on snap yesterday that an #ad doesn't have to be declared unless money switches hands.  Is grace just receiving products and taking on affiliate type set ups to get any payment she can?  I'm not defending her, I'm more thinking can she not get sponsored work that's straight payment that much anymore since she had the baby.  Her brand and profile have definitely changed.
    There is a lot of pressure on bloggers to maintain a certain style of image.  Generally the image they create themselves.  It must be a lot of pressure to maintain weight to a level you set yourself, always wear make up if that's your thing or not complain about your kids if you're creating the perfect mommy vibe.  I would imagine if things started to change brands would be less interested and she is taking anything she can get and not being fussy at all what she advertises.
    I haven't followed her long - she may always have been like this.  I prefer the more curated bloggers who will only work with certain companies and products.

    Tbh it's gone to the stage with Grace that it's hard to know what's an ad or not anymore. Like she's constantly plugging the Naked Meat conpany and Meaghers.ie but never #ads then. And I doubt she's advertising them out of the goodness of her heart.

    People have to report it for it to be investigated and have proof to back it up... if someone's not being transparent now I'm not saying anything to them I'm just reporting

    Same here! Not worth getting your head torn off by the individual, and then blocked for just asking a question.
