Just a couple of months ago, Rae, a mum-of-two from the UK, was working in a care home, where she had been employed for five years.
But now, she is self-employed and is attempting to earn a living through social media.
In one of her recent clips, she filmed herself preparing her partner's lunch, as she said: 'I charge my partner £10 a day to make his lunch for work.'
Following this, she added: 'If he's gonna go and spend £10 at McDonald's, Greggs, wherever it may be, and put money in a stranger's pocket, why not put money in my pocket instead?'
Rae recognised that not everyone will agree, but she isn't bothered, as she continued: 'It does seem to be a bit of a controversial topic, but it makes sense to me.
'Let's be honest, nothing in life comes free anymore, not even a paper bag - so if you're happy to go and pay the woman in Greggs for your lunch, then pay the woman that you love for your lunch, that way everyone's happy.'
Not only this, but she also set the record straight and confirmed: 'He's fed and happy, and I'm paid and happy.'
For Rae's partner's most recent lunch, she made him a peri peri chicken salad, which she served alongside cheesy coleslaw and two boiled eggs.
She also gave her 'fuss pot' partner a cereal bar, a chocolate bar and two cans of Tango.
Later in the clip, Rae confirmed that her man 'approved' of his packed lunch.
I'm a 'bad mum' but people are reporting me to welfare for feeding my kids junk - they mostly get fed at school anyway
Not only was he impressed, but he even described the tasty meal as 'absolutely beautiful.'
Big divide
But Rae's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @raeroberts.x, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 229,800 views in just two days.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 7,444 likes, 65 comments and 474 saves.
Social media users were left totally divided by Rae's actions - while some thought it was a fabulous idea to make an extra income off of her partner, others thought it was 'cheeky' and 'backwards.'
Charging him?! He should kick you out
TikTok user
One user shared: 'Great idea.'
A second chimed in: 'Love this.'
Whilst someone else penned: 'From today onwards I'll be charging.'
But at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary, as one person said: 'But if you love your man, you wouldn't charge him £10.'
Another added: 'Backwards mentality.'

To this, Rae wrote back and claimed: 'Backwards mentality is men expecting everything done for them when they're grown.'
A third commented: 'Charging him?! He should kick you out.'
Eager to clap back and prove the hater wrong, the savvy mum responded: 'Kick me out of a house that's equally both of ours, yeahhhh.'
Meanwhile, another gasped: 'I think that's a bit cheeky, £10 a day, a joke.'

It's 30°C This Weekend – This Is The Heatwave-Proof Uniqlo Dress I'm Reaching For
@@tonediscoveries via TikTok and @ Rogue August showers may have led you to believe that summer is nearing its end, but the UK weather has a few surprises in store. In fact, the weather apps are now predicting a heatwave over the weekend. Good news, if like me, you were looking for a reason to snap up another breezy frock. While there's plenty out there worth considering, none have caught our eye quite like Uniqlo's Gathered Mini Dress, and if Instagram is any indication, the style set agrees. Made from lightweight cotton to keep you cool once temperatures skyrocket to the late twenties, the mini dress is also incredibly affordable, meaning you won't regret only getting a few wears out of it before the September chill (until next summer, of course). So what is it about the dress that's us charmed? Well, to start with, the silhouette. Designed with an elegantly gathered bodice that cinches the waistline, it bears a striking resemblance to some of Dôen's whimsical frocks, namely the viral Ischia dress, minus the signature, extravagant puffed sleeves. Its fit and flare shape is also flattering across a range of body types, with sizes XXS through XL available to buy. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Olive Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) If you're looking for something lightweight that will see you through the stifling heatwave, consider this cotton Uniqlo mini dress. Fashion insiders have taken a liking to the olive green version. Of course, as with any Uniqlo staple, the brilliance of the dress doesn't end there. It comes in a conveyor belt of colours and patterns to cater to every mood. The classic black iteration is ideal if you're looking for something a little more traditional and chic, while the mossy olive is an excellent option if you want to inject a touch of (muted) colour into your wardrobe. Meanwhile, the ditsy floral versions have become a big hit among well-dressed women and are, surprisingly, still in stock in all sizes. Oh, and did I mention it comes with pockets (!)? Plenty of stylish dressers have worn the Uniqlo dress on its own with western and biker style boots. For a touch of boyish charm, retro style trainers are your best bet, and for a pop of colour, choose Adidas Gazelles in either pink or blue. We've also seen plenty of fashionable people wearing mini dresses like this one as blouses, layered on top of wide-leg jeans and trousers. For casual outings, sling a best-selling Uniqlo Round bag across your body, or for an elevated touch, opt for a designer-inspired tote bag such as the Ellyla Woven Leather Hobo Bag. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Light Blue Ditsy Print Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) The darling ditsy version of the Uniqlo is simply pretty, and is available in two colours, including this light blue iteration. 3. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Off White Ditsy Print Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) The off white version is equally as charming. 4. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Black Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) For a chic put together look, consider the black shade, which can be dressed up or down depending on your mood.

Woman issues airport security warning after priceless item left 'destroyed' by X-ray scanner
People take cameras with them on their travels to capture the memories and amazing sights. People take cameras with them on their travels to capture the memories and amazing sights. However, one woman has issued a warning after a priceless item was 'destroyed' by an X-ray scanner. Magdala, @magdalanyc2, shared a video on TikTok about her experience taking her camera through airport security. Sadly, it ended up with the 39 photos she captured ruined by the machine. She captioned the clip: 'PSA airport security x-rays destroy film even in little s**t disposable cameras and you lose everything (39 grained moments but ones you can't get back).' The TikToker revealed in a comment that her carry-on luggage went through the security machine three times. Others commented to share their experiences, while some shared advice. One TikTok user shared a tip to help others avoid getting their film ruined. They said: 'You can ask them to check it manually!! (They know the drill so they agree most of the time).' 'Oh, guess I shouldn't even bother developing my pictures from my last trip then,' one dismayed viewer said, followed by a crying emoji. But Magdala replied with some positive news. She said: 'If it just passed once it could be all good, the more times the more damage. Hope they come through for you just expensive to check.' Magdala also revealed in another comment that her carry-on luggage had gone through the scanner 'like three times'. But she advised that checked baggage scanners were even more risky for film cameras. She added: 'Checked is apparently an even stronger one so your best bet is to ask them to hand check it. 'I have one that was blank when it recently went through as a carry on just once and nothing was damaged!' It comes as someone else revealed passengers should look out for a 'growing' luggage tag scam as they make their way through airports. An airport worker, who claimed to be a baggage claims manager for American airline company Delta, warned about the new trick on Reddit. 'I just wanted to let everyone know to please start discarding your bag tags at home,' they urged in a post on the forum website. They alleged people were using tags thrown away in the airport to make 'fraudulent claims' with the information on them.
