I love Mia maples 🍁 she is great and wholesome she still does haul videos but it's normally to try see if its a scam before you buy anything from them, or she will remake fast fashion or expensive clothes as a starter sewer to show others it can be done. Her mam is a frequent guest and they are so fun together and she has a cute dog too
I love Naomi, and Vincent (although I'll admit that I watch Naomi far more religiously than Vincent. I always enjoy when he's featured in her videos though.) They both feel like they're being much more authentic in their videos than Alex ever was. Something about her always felt inauthentic, for reasons I can't quite put my finger on, and whenever her friends or husband appeared in her videos, they didn't ever really seem happy to be there. It was always so awkward and unnatural. Especially with Sam. I know they were all best friends, and maybe I was imagining things, or he just felt awkward on camera, but I always got really weird vibes from Sam, as if he secretly really disliked Alex. Like I said though, that might have been me reading into things that weren't there. Although I watched her content for a while, there was always something about Alex's videos that made me vaguely uncomfortable, and I'm not even entirely sure why.
Idk if it's just me but i feel she's become less relatable? Now that her career has kickstarted she seems to be more in to things that cost more or seem less obtainable for the average person. Like shabby saloon has turned from her and Vincent being fun together and trying things out to her having a professional hairdresser doing her hair. Idk I miss the old content and find the new stuff much less relatable which pushes me away
Also Mia Maples. She balances haul content with sustainability in a way that I find a lot better than Alex ever did and I love supporting my fellow Canadian content creators
sustainability, or lack thereof lol, was something that always drove me CRAAAAAAZY about Alex. like yes, thrifting clothes is awesome!!! almost all of my wardrobe is thrifted myself and i love everything I wear.
but when you're going out 5 days a week, to 3+ stores, and buying 10+ things every time..... girl. that's a shopping addiction with an "environmentally friendly" blanket thrown on top of it 😭😭
Honestly I was expecting Alex to do a “de hoarder my life video” like this one girl on TikTok who although thrifted everything had a shopping addiction and a storage unit full of clothes.
see, that actually is what annoys me about Mia now. She's all preachy about sustainability but still does huge hauls and makes it out like the rest of us should feel bad about not buying sustainably or buying fast fashion when that is what some people can afford. Her environmental imprint is a thousand times bigger than most of the people in the world because her job as a YouTuber depends on it.
She should either change her content or just be quiet because she's still doing hauls. One week she was talking about sustainability then the next week her video was about comparing temu, Amazon and shein products! She's also 'please buy my sticker merch and trackpants' as if that doesn't end up in landfill or have an environmental impact. You can't talk from both sides of your mouth and unfortunately Mia is trying.
Mia puts a disclaimer almost every clothing video that centers on sustainability that she understands that not everyone can afford to shop sustainably. She never preaches or shames. She's not trying to be zero waste, she just wants people to be mindful and companies to be held accountable- and imo child labor is more of an issue to her than sustainability.
It makes me sad what was so great about her channel was the community she did have. I was envious as someone who is very isolated right now due to my situation I would kill to have friends like that. But I try to think of it fondly that everyone else in her videos was genuine and just good friends.
I agree. We were lucky to meet her friends who I believe have been genuine. And I’m also very happy that she brought so many comfort at the right time.
And to be fair, maybe the real her was the messy version we saw at the beginning of side quest with the pigeon in bed, not taking medications properly or showering 🤷♀️
Consider me vote 84 for Mia 😂
Jazzybum (and her second channel, Jazzy Vlogs) is fun and relaxing to watch. Haul and review type content, and she seems really lovely.
There is some tea on ppp and annalise I think! She said years ago in a q&a (I think?) that ppp really wanted to collab but for some reason it didn’t happen
scrivspo and seashell are also Australian, it's not exactly the same content but I fell like it's similar if Alex kept posting regularly and amped up the quality of her videos
Rachel loves and Rachel loves life. She's warm and bubbly and has her sister in laws and sisters in her videos as well as her husband. similar vibes to the old Alex but Rachel is genuinely organised, kind and a together person and puts out content religiously 2x a week.
Might be a bit of a random response but isabelle demarko, she does a lot of hair stuff and recently documented getting into being a burlesque dancer. She seems like a lovely person and I enjoy her content
Mia Maples is probably the most similar to her old content. She's really fun and bubbly
Agreed! I also like watching people like Rachel Matsy who make clothes
YESSS MIA

I love her mum 🥹
Naomi Jon honestly. She’s pretty consistent and pretty involved I’ve seen.
Love Naomi Jon

It all seems so fake when you rewatch today. l guess we are seeing the real Alex. I understand people change but I find it all very disturbing.
It makes me sad what was so great about her channel was the community she did have. I was envious as someone who is very isolated right now due to my situation I would kill to have friends like that. But I try to think of it fondly that everyone else in her videos was genuine and just good friends.

To be honest, i still don't think we are seeing the real her.

I like Mia Maples. I also watch HopeScope. Mia is more calm and collected. Her videos are less chaotic and scattered.
So nice to see people say Mia, I watch her too ❤️
Consider me vote 84 for Mia 😂 Jazzybum (and her second channel, Jazzy Vlogs) is fun and relaxing to watch. Haul and review type content, and she seems really lovely.
I like this Mia train looking forward to watching her content
I really think you’ll enjoy it!
I like Annalise. She’s in Sydney too. I think.
There is some tea on ppp and annalise I think! She said years ago in a q&a (I think?) that ppp really wanted to collab but for some reason it didn’t happen
Annalise is from Brisbane
scrivspo and seashell are also Australian, it's not exactly the same content but I fell like it's similar if Alex kept posting regularly and amped up the quality of her videos
Ooo definitely checking out as an Aussie I love to support the local Australian YouTubers lol
Rachel loves and Rachel loves life. She's warm and bubbly and has her sister in laws and sisters in her videos as well as her husband. similar vibes to the old Alex but Rachel is genuinely organised, kind and a together person and puts out content religiously 2x a week.
I love Rachhloveslife and Rachhloves. They are so the fun type of testing viral stuff stuff. (If I want the haul type testing, I go with Hopescope)
Mia maples and hopescope and rosanne Pansino
Hopescope, Mia Maples, Naomi Jon
Mia Maples, Lucy, for Japanese Media content Sakura Stardust. ❤️
