Don't have inferiority complex? This gal will give you one!

[Pretzel]

You guys remember canned-potato-Erin, don't you? (In case you don't,here's where you can catch up on your reading.)

So, just when I thought things couldn't get any more patronizing and "I.do.everything.a.little.better.than.you", I'm again googling for some household tips when THIS gal shows up on my search. Her name is Melissa Maker, and she could give Erin a run for her money in terms of talking condescendingly to her viewership about their housekeeping habits and showing you her sure fire way to be almost as awesome as her.

You don't believe me? Go watch her videos then.

How to get your

Here's a long vid about how y'all are doin' it wrong, while she doesn't -

And guess what, Melissa thinks she's so amazing that people wanna climb in bed with her. At least to clean their matresses properly, while she's sprawlin' on

Is it just me or are others just as unable to comprehend this? O.M.G. :doh:

I often feel bad about myself without anyone telling me why I should feel even worse.

If I manage to get through a day without a meltdown, manage to keep the house clean, go out to run errands without an anxiety attack that chases me back home and gets me sobbing while sitting on the floor wearing my outdoor clothes, and I manage to put together a decent meal, then I say I had a good day.

I don't need these perfect blogger assholes to show off their wonderful and flawless lives before me. They're perfect? Oh, GOOD for them! :sleeping:

[Pretzel]

I hear you, whoviana. I feel the same. I have so much worse to worry about than which cleaner to clean my grout with or which rags to buy to match the color of my kitchen wall paper, that sometimes I wish I had those perfect life bloggers "problems". And can I just say I HATE the condescending tone most of them have. Gah.

I just watched the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS30FQCk8sk, lol, and the comments speak for themselves. :mrgreen:

I like cleaning, but I could not get through that woman's videos. :?

If they had wonderful and flawless lives, they wouldn't be making youtube videos about cleaning. They would be doing something interesting with their lives instead of pretending they have something to offer the world.

Oh I checked out that freaking link. She is some company's product, her entire channel is, just like other medium to giant names. http://cleanmyspace.com/ This isn't her life, this is someone young and attractive being paid to be the face and the boobs for a youtube channel. In fact, we know nothing about her actual life. Not even from the "intro" they put up on the website.

Clean My Space is a brand, somewhat present on the Internet.

She sells her videos with her looks, and the focus on her cleavage. :roll: Actual housewifes will be irked out by her if they really want to find videos on cleaning. The last thing a mom with a load of tomato stained shirts needs is a clueless chica showing her boobs and speaking pre-written semi-humorous bullcrap.

OH I AM SO JEALOUS NOW!

My question is, if your original targets really were housewifes... why didn't you hire a hot dude? Dudes don't care about her household tips. Women who need cleaning advice don't care about a chick acting obnoxiously while thinking she's sexy.

This is just really stupid.

The tips that she shares, I learned them from my great-grandma and my grandmas.

What a career. Showing boobs on youtube while removing limescale from the toilet. :clap:

OMG, I'm dead on my feet but I will go through at least her entry titles at least, along with Partner, he is a sucker for random Internet crap and always bugs me to show him something funny. And she'll have someone appreciating those hard workin' boobies, too. Maybe.

"HOW TO CLEAN EARBUDS?" Earbuds tend to be waxy?! Who'da thunk... Teach me, master!

[catlady]

I attempted to watch her tell me how to pack a carry-on bag, but I had to turn it off after the first minute because she's such an inarticulate and boring speaker that the whole 13 minutes would have made my brain explode.

[KittenMitten]

I only got through 3 1/2 minutes of the clean any room video, it really was dill and the suggestions obvious. Did she address having husbands or kids or pets in the house?

when i was working at guardian protection (security system company) i had a woman call in about her keyfob not working after she cleaned it. turns out, she opened the case, dipped a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and rubbed it all over all of the electronic parts.

and she got upset that she couldn't get a replacement fob for free.

moral of the story: don't underestimate stupid people. i think einstein said it best, "the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." also: "only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and i'm not sure about the former."

Thank you for this...Loved it!!

The bedroom video have me a superiority complex. My cleaning method is so much faster. Sometimes I'll take before pictures when I haven't had a chance to clean in a couple weeks, post them to Facebook, and tell people to time me. As soon as I'm finished, I'll post the finished pics. Constantly people are floored. What I do is make the bed. First I yank out the laundry and put it in the hamper, then run any glasses to the kitchen. Then I grab everything that goes on my nightstand, and put it where it goes. Other night stand. Bookcase. What's left is usually garbage. Toss in a bag. Wipe stuff down. Vacuum. No matter how messy my room starts out, it always takes under 10 minutes. The trick is to minimize how many times you have to walk over each spot of the ground because the more you go over each, the more time it takes.

The 5 things we're doing wrong made me laugh.

Hand-wash knives (I admit I usually toss my knives in the dishwasher) is usually best. What the hell does he mean about rush? My knives are stainless, and won't sit around for weeks.

I live for those tumblers. They get rinsed. I got made when my husband accidentally put my favorite one in the washer. I don't know anyone who puts them in the washer.

Eyeglasses have scratch-resistent coatings now. She doesn't wear glasses, so shouldn't be telling people how to take care of them.

Ears? Wow. She shouldn't be telling people how to clean our bodies.

If your windows fog regularly, get some FogX.

Her personality is so grating that I couldn't watch the last video.

She's the one who started it. It's her company. :?

Those bloggers get a bit of pity from me. They can't possibly have lives outside their homes, and their value is 100% in how clean things are, to an extreme that might qualify as literal OCD.

I don't always have time to go through and clean every single thing, even though I am lightning fast at it, because I have other things I'm interested in doing, and when I have downtime, like now, I just plain don't always care. No one's judging me for the empty Pringles can on the coffee table (I'll throw it away when I next head toward the kitchen), or the dog fur on the floor (I'll vacuum maybe tomorrow), so why keep my home feeling like a sterile showplace? I've got BETTER things to do, like have an actual life.

Those perfect-life bloggers don't. They are putting on a show, and the show will come to and end, and they'll be lost. Do we really want to be as anal as Erica Shuppe?

Hi. Stupid person here, from stupid family. I would be OCD about getting my whites WHITE in the laundry, and have disintegrated clothes with bleach. While young, I was OCD about cleaning the bathroom so mixed ammonia and bleach (ok I never took Chemistry). My lungs have recovered. Then one time I went to my dad's who took it upon himself to clean my car. He also cleaned my engine. I had to spend the night while waiting for the engine to dry so I could start it. I do know better now and I would never ask for a replacement for my stupidity.

Of course you can (in theory) clean quickly when you are solo. But can this chick do all that in the same time while being interrupted by kids/spouse/cats??

edited to remove frustration I always feel when I see stuff like this!!:)

She is probably constantly interrupted by the urge of taking selfies, uploading them to IG and maniacally watch the reactions.

Hand the kids iPads, send them to their room, lock the animals in the back bedroom. As good as solo. :)

I try to wait till 3 yr old falls asleep, send DH out on an errand, and ignore kitties. But the stars don't always align so well:) But you are giving me some good ideas on kid+technology= distraction!:)

But how long do things stay clean, with kids, husbands and pets. My personal best was 2 days when husband and kid went camping. Otherwise several hours at best.
