      I mean, I personally stopped watching after the name scandal and the dishonesty about sponserships, I felt betrayed when I thought they could just be honest and we would of supported. As an adult I now understand about how new it all was and how young they were.
      Never left hate though, just stop watching.

Anyways I’m glad you’re back, I’ve been watching since almost the beginning.

    I remember being such a die hard fan of yours and Blair’s when I was younger. But it’s weird to say fans bc I’m around Blair’s age lol. I was so excited when I got my Skylark lip glosses and the note that was “signed” by you guys hah. When you wished me happy birthday on Twitter one year I literally shrieked lol. It’s so crazy to see how both yours and Blair’s lives have changed since I started watching you, while like my life changed at the same time. I remember you moving to NY and your sorority house with the Paris painting in the background, and Blair’s “rainbow bedroom” when I was in like 7th grade. I just graduated with my masters degree and watching you be a mom and wife and talk about growing as a person is amazing. It’s crazy to remember thinking that you guys were so out of my reach and not like me bc you were so popular on UA-cam. now you’re going through some of the things my close friends and me are and you seem closer to me now, if that makes any sense hah.

    I’ve always respected how “wholesome” your little corner of UA-cam has been since the beginning & I think part of the reason you don’t get hate is that most of us that have followed you since the start have now grown up along with you. We’re all settling down, babies, marriages, homes. It makes a difference when your followers are grown lol 💜

    I coslept with mine until the age of 4. Almost everyone told me that it will be so hard to get him to go to his own bed. I used to stress so much over it but he refuses to sleep without a person beside him. One day shortly after he turned 4 he decided he wanted to sleep in his own room. He is 6 now and once in a while he still comes in to cuddle in the middle of the night but for the most part he sleeps in his room. I think they will go when they are ready. Until then, enjoy the cuddles.

  • @dreamwishergirl

    I grew up watching Blair and you wayyy back starting in 2009 and the hate was literally INSANE. I remember people leaving comments about guru gossiper that was even started because of you guys I believe, Or just overall the very first beauty youtubers. People were SO jealous of you guys. Or they didn’t want you to succeed or something (a form of jealousy?) You guys were also the first I believe to have body modifications and to be sent free products done and I think that’s where all the hate came from as well, the “you’re a bad role model for my childddddd” while literally every single beauty youtuber has had something done and receives free PR and it’s not a thing anymore. It is so crazy how much things have changed.

    Hollister, Abercrombie and Abercrombie Kids still swapped employees up until The Kids store at our mall merged with the Abercrombie store. My daughter worked there all through high school too. She's a petite girl and she could wear the Abercrombie Kids clothes, so they loved that. She was also one of the only employees who was 18, and was only of the only employees who could be sent to the other stores. The pay was laughable, but she met 2 of her best friends who she still has as an adult/new mommy.

    I think a choppy lob would be a fabulous haircut on you. 🙌
    Also I follow a few influencers and they have done a few Abercrombie hauls and the company has clearly changed because their clothes are very modern and chic!
    Question for next Q&A: can you share a closet tour or how your style has changed now that you're in your 30s?

    From a viewers perspective it does seem like UA-cam has changed a lot, you and Blair have really paved the road for those who came after.
    Question: Do you still keep in touch/are friends with anyone who you’ve met through UA-cam?
