Still feels so surreal every time you post videos these days. When you took time away from UA-cam, I missed your videos so much. Very excited to see you posting again as a longtime viewer ❤
What you've accomplished independently these last few years is so inspiring! I love hearing about your life now, how you prioritize things, budgeting etc. The hard work you put in and risks you took paid off 😊
I’m so excited to see this new side of you! I remember watching you back in 2009/2010 and you’ve changed so much! Congratulations on completing college and figuring out what you want in life ❤
Thank you!!!! Personal growth is something I’ve worked hard for, so having someone acknowledge it really makes me happy. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind comment.
@@juicystar07I agree it’s so wonderful to see how confident you are now in yourself. You’ve grown from a girl into a woman and it’s so beautiful to see 🥹
My ring is lab grown too! I was so set on not having a mined diamond due to just ethical reasons. I didn't want to look at my ring and feel guilty. Your ring is GORGEOUS ❤❤❤
I love the soft engagement idea when you have the conversation with your partner! My boyfriend and I had that a few months ago and it's the best knowing you both have the same intention. Love this video!
A beautifully unique ring! Gorgeous! So happy for you. Everything happens when it’s supposed to. Loving all your recent posts. It’s showing how happy you are. Thank you for sharing.
I love when you post. Instant nostalgia to my younger years when my sister and I would watch yours and Elle’s room tours and beg our mum to let us redesign our room. A true time capsule of my childhood. Like the smell of an old perfume. Congratulations on your engagement
That’s a gorgeous ring! I have had my ring for 4 years and I still don’t shower, sleep or shower with it. I want to keep my ring looking as good as the first day 🙏🏻
Congrats Blair 🤗 this is such a beautiful ring. I worked in jewelry for several years specifically with engagement rings, and your ring is so stunning and unique. Very classy!! Love it 🥰
Your ring is so stunning. It looks so regal and so elegant with a touch of southern class with the little gold beads. I felt like my 20s was with you and the og youtube beauty crew.
Congrats, Blair! You deserve a special ring and are worth even more. So happy that you found a man that loves and cherishes you. Wishing you all the best! ♥
Love this! Your ring is absolutely stunning! 💍 Also, video idea!! I would love to know/see how you do your budget. I have a super detailed one but am always looking for new ideas, tips and tricks, etc. Just a thought! It’s nice to see you on my socials again, Blair!!
Love the ring! My husband and I did a soft engagement too! Do you think you can do videos on your workout routine or your current go to clothing stores? Love you, Blair!
It’s just so lovely to see you grown, happy, and thriving. Loved this little window into your life. I’m so curious to see your wedding band after the wedding.
Loved getting to hear all these details!! My fiancé purchased my ring from an Etsy store and used my Pinterest board to help find my ring. He also knew how important it was for me to have a conflict free stone as well which meant so much 🥰 I believe my stone is moissanite and I've gotten sooooo many compliments on it
I got married in las vegas over the weekend! I'm looking at the website now for the jeweler because I'm in the market. I really like how you described your wants for the ring and choices.
Such a beautiful ring 😍 I went with a flat band as well, and chose an oval diamond! Mine is also lab-grown, we didn't want to spend a fortune on a natural diamond either. Your ring just screams Blair and gold is your colour ❤ Congratulations again, I looooved this video (got engaged a few months before you) ! Please do more engagement -era (and wedding -era) content 🙏🏻
I love this entire video! I am similar to you - engagement was definitely an open conversation me and my (now) husband had: whether I was comfortable getting proposed to be in public, how much we wanted to spend on a ring, what kind of ring, etc. I have always recommended to all my friends who are thinking of getting engaged to go to different jewelry stores and try things on bc you really do think you have an idea in your head and then you try it on and it's just not the ring for you! I thought I wanted a round-cut diamond with a halo setting. Tried that on - NOPE lol. Also a fellow lab diamond wearer! Best decision ever!
So so happy for your Blair! Thank you for sharing your ring details - in a world where the topic of natural vs. lab is so controversial (when it really isn't any one's business), I appreciate you sharing your experience! I also got engaged in February and have a lab diamond. Any judgement I now get for it, I can say "The iconic Blair did it, so can I!". Congrats again! ♥
I love this- thank you so much for sharing!!! My husband didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on something I wouldn’t absolutely love. I picked out my ring and style with my best friend and my husband picked out the stone. I also chose a lab grown diamond for ethics proposes. It is perfect and I cherish it so much. ❤
I got broken up with this year, have no boyfriend let alone someone I plan on marrying, but you best believe I have already planned out my ring design and I ALSO loveddd radiant (specifically elongated radiant). Love your ring!
I absolutely love these vids! I want to watch the whole journey of your wedding planning. It's fun! Plus I love that this is a chapter in your life that we get to be apart of.
Thank you for sharing! I love the thought behind the ring and how it means to the both of you. ♥️ Please can you share your everyday makeup routine? I work in an office and would find your makeup tutorial so helpful. xx
We did the ring shopping opposite to your friend. He chose the jeweller within his budget and chose a few styles that he liked and took me to try them on and choose my favourite ❤
My husband proposed with a £25 ring from a catalogue store when we were 18. We have since upgraded as life allowed us to but I think I still prefer my first engagement ring 😅 Congratulations to you and future husband! ❤
This is super helpful!! Expecting to be proposed to within the year and I have no clue about anything regarding rings! Much love, congrats to you both! Been watching for 13 years, you're awesome
Every time you upload a video, I feel so happy that you're back! I'm so happy for you and how much you've grown in all aspects of your life, but you're still the same chatty person who loves to share with us :)
Thanks for sharing! I think you're a few years younger than me (not exactly sure), but I'm in a similar place in life where I'm thinking about marriage and all the planning that goes along with it. I didn't expect to be in different places in life than some of my own friends, but I suppose that's completely normal! It's so fun to get your perspective, and so refreshing to get this low pressure, non-salesy take from you!
Is there ever such thing as a “frivolous video”? Um, not when you’re one of the OG’s of YT. I love catching up with the original creators here, it’s fun to see where people are at now, the paths they’ve taken and just how they are doing. Congrats on your engagement!!
gurl i have a lab diamond and when i see other ladies' rings i am just like.. YUP, love mine, they are so much more clear and clean without any flaws, the overall quality is just more appealing to me. idc about reselling value later on, it's my ring and i also feel less bad if anything were to ever happen to it....
It's stunning, Blair. I have been watching your videos since the beginning, and actually just got engaged myself. My ring is four sapphires, my birth stone :)
Blair, you are awesome! Been following you since 2009! So happy for what you’ve accomplished! Congrats on your engagement too! Can’t wait for more videos!
What a lovely memory to treasure throughout the years! If asked, I would give my fiancé three adjectives-filigree, white gold, and Marquise-and let him choose/design the ring from there. ❤
I love your ring! It’s so beautiful! When you announced your engagement, I thought it was a natural diamond. So you picked a beautiful stone that looks amazing! It’s good to know you guys didn’t buy a ring because of the pressure and something beyond your means. I went wedding ring shopping and I really prefer a lab grown as well. You designed a beautiful ring! 💍 ❤
My husband proposed with a ring pop! Sounds silly but we joked about it early on in dating because he wasn’t sure what I would like and I honestly had no idea either! So him proposing in Hawaii with the ring pop was really sweet. He even brought two different flavors.. just in case 😂. Then I got to pick out my dream ring and it worked out so well! 😊
I have a lab diamond as well I get so many compliments because of its clarity the way they sold it to me was explaining that a banana is still a banana whether it’s organic or not lol 😆 but your ring is stunning and very unique
I LOVE your ring! It's not what I would pick for me, but it's perfect for you! Unique and classic at the same time ❤ I got a moissanite that I love for our 10 year anniversary. It took a long time to find what I wanted, but I'm so happy with it. It's just a round (old European) cut solitaire, but it was hard to find a setting I liked. Then my band is a very simple dimond band. I love that I can wear my band on its own, and it's petite and simple. Especially since I have kids. I'm so happy for you guys!! Congratulations! ❤
Great video! Your ring is beautiful. The corners and placement of prongs really do make the ring in my opinion! I’m happy to hear you have a lab grown diamond. I am in the same position as you, not millionaires and I’m perfectly fine with a lab grown. I’ve been told I should sacrifice the size/style of the ring I want in order to have a natural diamond because the quality matters most. I disagree with that wholeheartedly and am relieved that someone I respect so much as yourself has a lab-gown herself!
Love how real and honest your content is, you’re so you and we love it, thanks for your content it’s always so enjoyable and informative like a friend 🧡🩷
very pretty ring. Can I just say what a good call a fall wedding is? As a New Englander I went to a wedding in the south last year in May and the outdoor part was awful - everyone was sweating. I had to go sit in my car with the aircon because I was about to pass out....
Still feels so surreal every time you post videos these days. When you took time away from UA-cam, I missed your videos so much. Very excited to see you posting again as a longtime viewer ❤
I agree! I was just going to comment this. We get so excited to see any content from you Blaire! So excited for you!
lab diamonds are the BEST!! literally 0 difference, and no cruelty or blood shed in making it
It’s just a way to get a bigger ring which can be a little tacky imo. Nothing like the real thing
@@JohannaB19 Judging other people's rings can be a little tacky imo
Lab diamonds are TACKY af 😂😂😂😂 Get yourself a real man who will buy you a real diamond sis. Yucky.
@@JohannaB19so if it was a large mined diamond would it still be tacky or is it just because it’s lab made ?
They're tacky. It means you can't afford to get that big of a ring as a real diamond.
What you've accomplished independently these last few years is so inspiring! I love hearing about your life now, how you prioritize things, budgeting etc. The hard work you put in and risks you took paid off 😊
I personally want a lab diamond only. They’re more ethical and affordable for basically the same quality. Love that you made that choice ❤
Not all real diamonds are unethical
I’m so excited to see this new side of you! I remember watching you back in 2009/2010 and you’ve changed so much! Congratulations on completing college and figuring out what you want in life ❤
Thank you!!!! Personal growth is something I’ve worked hard for, so having someone acknowledge it really makes me happy. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind comment.

I feel the same way! I wouldn’t want to look at my ring and wonder if someone lost their life for it. If we keep supporting it, it will never end.
Your authenticity and confidence really shine through in your videos. I am so happy that you are back! 💓
I love the soft engagement idea when you have the conversation with your partner! My boyfriend and I had that a few months ago and it's the best knowing you both have the same intention. Love this video!
A beautifully unique ring! Gorgeous! So happy for you. Everything happens when it’s supposed to. Loving all your recent posts. It’s showing how happy you are. Thank you for sharing.
Now I wanna know what your plans are for a wedding band! 😅 I have a slight obsession with wedding rings lol.
I love when you post. Instant nostalgia to my younger years when my sister and I would watch yours and Elle’s room tours and beg our mum to let us redesign our room. A true time capsule of my childhood. Like the smell of an old perfume. Congratulations on your engagement
That’s a gorgeous ring!

Congrats Blair 🤗 this is such a beautiful ring. I worked in jewelry for several years specifically with engagement rings, and your ring is so stunning and unique. Very classy!! Love it 🥰
Radiant is absolutely gorgeous! My yellow diamond engagement ring is radiant cut. I get compliments on it all the time
Blair, you've been in subscription box on and off for the past 12 years now. I love it so much
I love how the milgrain adds a delicate frame to the ring! I haven't seen such design. Lovely and unique!
Your ring is so stunning. It looks so regal and so elegant with a touch of southern class with the little gold beads.
I felt like my 20s was with you and the og youtube beauty crew.
Congrats, Blair! You deserve a special ring and are worth even more. So happy that you found a man that loves and cherishes you. Wishing you all the best! ♥

It’s so surreal that I grew up watching you and now we are both engaged just months apart! congrats and beautiful ring :)
This video made me smile. The excitement in your while talking about the details of your ring was precious ♥️
Love the ring! My husband and I did a soft engagement too! Do you think you can do videos on your workout routine or your current go to clothing stores? Love you, Blair!
I'm glad u found Mr. Right, Blair. I picked out my ring 💍. I told him if i didn't like it, i would send it back.
It’s just so lovely to see you grown, happy, and thriving. Loved this little window into your life. I’m so curious to see your wedding band after the wedding.
Omg congrats queen! I’ve been watching you since I was 10, I’m 25 now :)
Your ring deserved a dedicated video, it's so pretty!
Loved getting to hear all these details!! My fiancé purchased my ring from an Etsy store and used my Pinterest board to help find my ring. He also knew how important it was for me to have a conflict free stone as well which meant so much 🥰 I believe my stone is moissanite and I've gotten sooooo many compliments on it
This is such a gorgeous unique ring, love the flat band.
Lovely ring. Congratulations! Yes, claw prongs are so elegant and chic looking.
I got married in las vegas over the weekend! I'm looking at the website now for the jeweler because I'm in the market. I really like how you described your wants for the ring and choices.

Needed something to watch and got this notification YAY!! So happy you’re back on social media🎉 congratulations again!!!❤️
I haven’t heard of a radiant cut before. I love how it sparkles!
You are sooo articulate. No wonder you teach! Awesome video
Congrats and it's great that you were so involved in your own ring and engagement process
Congratulations Blair 🥹 been watching you since the beginning and so happy to see you in such a good place now 🩷 and posting again!!

So happy you are back Blair!!

I watched you for a long time, it's great to see you in this new chapter! Hope you will share more on wedding planning!
Love that you guys did this together! So special💖 I’ll definitely be doing the same with my partner when we get engaged💍
I’ve been loving your videos lately! I loved hearing about the design process and all the thought that was involved. Beautiful ring!
Is there ever such thing as a “frivolous video”? Um, not when you’re one of the OG’s of YT. I love catching up with the original creators here, it’s fun to see where people are at now, the paths they’ve taken and just how they are doing. Congrats on your engagement!!
Your hair is gorgeous, you take good care of it. I have dark hair too. Really pretty ring. I never heard of a hidden halo.
You look beautiful and the ring is stunning 😍 congratulations 🍾

Oh, congratulations to you both! The ring is perfect! You guys gave it a lot more thought than my husband and I did 😅
Such a classic and timeless ring!! ❤💍
Gorgeous ring!!! Also, you look so beautiful in that color blouse.
I feel that I grew up with you and your engagement makes me so honestly and truly happy ❤. You are so special to me. That this makes me emotional 😢
I love your ring! It’s so beautiful! When you announced your engagement, I thought it was a natural diamond. So you picked a beautiful stone that looks amazing!

Hi bestie can u do a bridal beauty series?
Like a countdown
It’s a stunning ring!! We love wedding content! I subscribed to LaurDIY just for the amazing wedding content … and I’ve been married over 10 years 😂😂
Loved this video! Always so exciting to watch wedding content 🩵
Soo happy you’re back!!! I used to watch you in gr.6 I am 25 now❤ you have a great smile btw did you have anything done to your teeth?
I had braces in middle/high school. Honestly my bottom teeth have shifted and I’ve considered getting Invisalign to straighten them up again.
So happy you’re back Blair :)
It's really beautiful. Congratulations to you both!
I picked out my marquise lab diamond on rare carat and designed the rest myself. I think it makes it more special! Your ring is gorgeous😍
I’m from Nashville so I’m so glad I found you! Your ring is absolutely beautiful. On my way to watch more of your videos! Already subscribed 💖
Can you do an everyday makeup routine soon? Also love the top where is it from?! Loving your updates so happy you are back to posting
My husband proposed with a ring pop! Sounds silly but we joked about it early on in dating because he wasn’t sure what I would like and I honestly had no idea either! So him proposing in Hawaii with the ring pop was really sweet. He even brought two different flavors.. just in case 😂. Then I got to pick out my dream ring and it worked out so well! 😊
So exciting to hear about all these details! I appreciate you. Can you share why you went with a lab diamond vs moissanite?
I have a lab diamond as well I get so many compliments because of its clarity the way they sold it to me was explaining that a banana is still a banana whether it’s organic or not lol 😆 but your ring is stunning and very unique
I just went to look at rings last weekend! So cool to be in the same stage of life as you :)
absolutely stunning!
I LOVE your ring! It's not what I would pick for me, but it's perfect for you! Unique and classic at the same time ❤ I got a moissanite that I love for our 10 year anniversary. It took a long time to find what I wanted, but I'm so happy with it. It's just a round (old European) cut solitaire, but it was hard to find a setting I liked. Then my band is a very simple dimond band. I love that I can wear my band on its own, and it's petite and simple. Especially since I have kids. I'm so happy for you guys!! Congratulations! ❤
this is EXACTLY my style! I think the Oval with the super thin band is gonna look like a trend in a few years
Do you have any recommendations on how to take care of your ring and keep it sparkly?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
Radiants are the best!
Keep the videos coming, Blair!
Your room looks so nice. Would you do a tour? Also, beautiful ring! Congrats!! Glad you’re back on UA-cam :)
Great video! Your ring is beautiful. The corners and placement of prongs really do make the ring in my opinion!
I’m happy to hear you have a lab grown diamond. I am in the same position as you, not millionaires and I’m perfectly fine with a lab grown.

Love how real and honest your content is, you’re so you and we love it, thanks for your content it’s always so enjoyable and informative like a friend 🧡🩷
Ok wait you know all those extreme details but don't know the carat?!?! LOL Blair!!That just made me laught, beautiful ring!
very pretty ring. Can I just say what a good call a fall wedding is? As a New Englander I went to a wedding in the south last year in May and the outdoor part was awful - everyone was sweating. I had to go sit in my car with the aircon because I was about to pass out....
That’s such a pretty color on you!
Your ring is absolutely gorgeous
Could you share the carats of the ring? Thank you!
