thank you!!! this has been so fun to get back in to AND since it isn't what is supporting my life I feel like I can be pickier with sponsorships and just do the ones that organically fit into videos I already wanted to film.
I think for me, I don’t really mind that most of your videos these past few months have been sponsored! I’ve been watching your channel for over 10 years and I trust your opinion and you’ve shown us that you are honest!! You worked so hard to build this TH-cam channel and deserve to reap the benefits of your hard work!!
thank you so much! I know it bothers some people and I got so many questions about it, so I felt like I definitely had to answer it *especially doing a video with this topic lol
I really appreciate your transparency around sponsorships and how that’s allowed you to save for your future goals. You clearly put a lot of time and energy into your TH-cam videos, and you absolutely deserve to be able to make some money from it!
I’m still upset by how the internet was so mean to you and your sister. Especially b/c you were a minor at the time. It was perfectly normal to hide who you were, there’s a lot of bad people out there. I’m happy when we get content from you and your sister, brings a lot of joy to see you around.
Years ago I went to your Macy’s meet and greet and you and Elle really made me feel like you were my friends. I now work in beauty social media + influencer marketing (actually for a brand you’ve done a partnership with recently!) and it feels so full circle to see you back online and be able to support you in this new chapter in your life. It feels like we kind of grew up together and I’m so grateful for that, parasocial or not haha
haha it was big back in the day! my moms feelings were hurt because she was like wait.. that's my baby. I went through the morning sickness and labor and delivery HAHA
I honestly didnt even notice the sponsorships. And I am quite happy to see that you answered the questions but also to the point that you felt comfortable. I respect that a lot 😊
@@juicystar07 I give myself a name different from mine every time I order something in a place where they call your name out. I don't like strangers knowing my real name.
I love having you back in TH-cam Blair. Is so nostalgic and homely and reminds me of when I first started watching you all those years ago. Hoping you do vlogmas/Christmas videos x
I saw Alexa Losey’s TikTok and my mind was blown! I’d love to hear more about what it was like in LA being one of the first influencers. How did celebs and the media treat you? I assume it’s probably super different compared to now since influencers are so much more main stream, but would love your thoughts!
Only a few minutes in and Blair, you’ve grown OH so much! I am honestly honored to have seen your growth from your Tennessee bedroom to LA to TN. It is just so very clear that you’ve grown so much and I’m here for it. Thanks for coming back. ❤
As someone who’s been a subscriber since your first video (came straight from Elle’s channel as soon as you started) hearing you address all these rumours is such a trip down memory lane 😅 Also you get that money Blair! You and Elle practically invented influencer marketing and there is no reason why you shouldn’t make money from your content if you can. Love having you back! 0:30
I love how she addresses the assumptions in such a mature way! I'm sure being far removed from her past helps but I love this new TH-cam Blair! She's so chill and real haha. And girl even if you were only here to pay for your wedding, who cares! do it! wedding's are expensive why would you put yourself in a hole if you don't have to :)
I'm so happy for you that you're closer to your goal of renovating and starting your own firm! Also kudos for being able to take scrutiny and be introspective instead of defensive.
Okay but you NEED to get your hands on those unaired pilots and share! That would be so fun to watch you and Elle do a reaction video watching them back 😂
Blair, I adore you! Your growth has been amazing to see! I'm sure you of all people can testify that being honest and up front about sponsored videos is the best. You went through the ringer on here people would get so mad at you and Elle!! Get that bag girl you deserve it!! I hope Michelle Phan gets you as a guest on her podcast too!! That'd be great!
It’s been fantastic having you back and getting to learn where you are in this stage in your life. I don’t mind your sponsorships at all. You’ve always been super upfront about them. I’ve never felt like you were “selling” a product, just working with the brand. I totally understand not having time after the workday for more than just yourself. Get your money girl, life is hard these days. Shoot for the stars and live your dreams!
Just to add, thoughtfully curated ad content is mutually beneficial and anyone that says otherwise is a hater 😂 you’re doing a great job! I definitely bought that super cute Dagne Dover bag in your bridesmaid video and I’m super happy with it!! Influencers get commission, I get a super cute bag. It’s win/win!
as someone in their mid twenties just starting to figure things out, it's SO helpful to hear others talk about their plans and aspirations so openly. Thanks for sharing
I cant stop commenting on the fact that these videos take me back in the most comforting way. I keep thinking back to the whats in my bag videos filmed in the rainbow room with the coat hanger stand that had all the purses on it. I used to come home from high school every day and watch a new juicystar video. And the coastal scents 88 shimmer palette. And how i coveted my first mac eyeshadow quad because elle and blair used mac. Ugh the good ol days. I remember the reality show pilot rumors and i remember scouring the internet to figure out when it was gonna air lol. Im glad youre doing so well. Thank you for coming back to TH-cam
lmao GIRL - when your sponsorship is doordash you have exactly 0% explaining to do, get your bag! it's rough out here financially and doordash is a dope brand (+ let's be real, you and Elle were patient zero for sponsored influencers which is why you guys got so much (imho unjustified) heat - nowadays it's so so soooo common that it'd be weirder if your videos *weren't* sponsored hahah)
I've been admiring the (modern traditional?) interior design of your home in the background of these revival videos so I would kill to have some renovation/interior design content from you in the future!
I do that with TH-camrs I used to watch too, so I totally get it! it's like it puts you in a mind space of being young again and not having the responsibility or stress of adulthood yet haha
I love the format of this video. Rather than answering a ton of questions, you really took your time answering. I also really appreciate your honesty around sponsored videos ❤
I appreciate you addressing the sponsorships/leaving after the wedding question, and addressing it in such a thoughtful and mature way. So many of us have missed you and want to keep seeing you even after the wedding! I don't mind the sponsored content, but it makes sense that some people had that question.
Love having you back in this space! It really feels like reconnecting with an old friend! No matter how long you’re here, what you talk about, I’ll be around because I missed you!!!! (Also girl, get that BAG!)
this was so fun! It was really cool to see the behind the scenes of the future you and your fiance have planned out and how that relates to your return to youtube/sponsorships. Get ur coin!! Also loved hearing more from the behind the scenes from stuff that happened back in the day. I hope you do a part 2 :)) we are the same age and I started watching you as a teen so I love seeing how both of us have matured and how our lives have changed and taken such different paths from what we thought we might do back in the day.
You were the very first TH-camr I started following waaaaaaay back when and were the inspiration for me starting my own channel. I’m so happy to see you back!
@aprilsettimi7077 I want to say she just had a nose job right? And there were complications so she had to get it redone? I can't remember if she said she got a boob job too or not
I have a request.. can you please do fall, cozy, candle on, drinking hot cocoa, chatting, haul, type of vid? I might be asking for too much but I miss those kinda videos 🥹 loved this one too 💕
I love that yes, you’ve mentioned that Blair is not your birth name, but never confirmed what the actual name is. I too go by a different name than the name I was born with, sooo I 100000% get it! It’s amazing to see how much you’ve grown, been here since the beginning. I was 18/19 years old and in college…fast forward…I am married, 34 years old, and a Mom to and 18 month old little boy.
@JuicyStar07, I can’t express how excited I am to see you back on TH-cam! We’re the same age, and I remember watching your videos religiously back in the day. As a 🇨🇦Canadian fan, I absolutely loved watching your hauls-they were such a highlight for me! I recently discovered your return when my Google display suggested I watch your Bridesmaid bags video, and it brought back so many memories. I still credit you for teaching me how to do the perfect ombré makeup and those gorgeous Victoria’s Secret-inspired looks. Seeing you return is so nostalgic-it feels like I’m healing my younger self while balancing adulting and my demanding career in healthcare. Thank you for being such a big part of my beauty/lifestyle journey-I’m so happy you’re back!💕
I met you and Elle at the Mall of Georgia in 2012, I think it was. When I was standing in line I met your mom and started talking with her. She was the sweetest woman and it was just soo beautiful how proud she was of you guys! I always tell people about meeting you guys any chance I get! 😆
For sure get those sponsorships! I don't even purchase stuff and I'm not in the US but will engage and support so it helps. Putting out content is hard work.
Changing your name when you get married is super easy. They let you change first and middle too if you want. Then once you have your marriage certificate it’s easy to change your license, social security number etc ❤
Regardless of why you choose to upload content…I think your true subscribers don’t really care. Also if you can give a deal or a discount I would rather you do that. It’s crazy that people forget that you are a real person and that if you can make money from something why wouldn’t you??? Like they wouldn’t do the same thing in that situation. I love that you are documenting your wedding.
that's how I feel, but everyone has their own opinions! I appreciate you sharing that with me tho. sometimes it's hard to remember that when you're just reading comments like "you're just here for the money" etc.
I am sure that can make posting very hard at times. I think when people see others doing great it’s sadly easier to bring people down rather than rise them up when they are jealous . Well even when people are here to just hate thank them for their view and tell them to move on. 😂
Absolutely love this!! I hate when you tubers try hard to hide their sponsorships. I'm glad you and other seasoned people just say it upfront. Happy to see you happy making content and your life now is definitely more relatable
Love that you are back on TH-cam! Get those sponsorships!! Ive been watching you and Elle since I was 12 and I’m 28 now! I would love to hear about your thoughts on the influencer community today and what it has become since you and Elle are the OGs!
Changing your name is easy. If you're doing it after marriage to change your last name, you just do your first name as well. I had a cousin do the same thing, changing to the name she had gone by her whole life rather than her legal (birth certificate) name. Any name change is a pain, there's so much to update, but there's nothing special about doing your first name when you're doing any kind of name change already. -- I only caution to do it when you know you won't be traveling for a couple months after, just because you have to do things in a certain order and it takes a little while for some of the pieces to come back.
Girl get the money. You’ve grown up so much. You also don’t owe it to anyone to stick around anyway. It’s your life. You can change your mind any time you want.
Man, these videos have been so comforting, it's so nice to have you back, Blair! There just something so nostalgic about making my coffee in the morning and sitting down to watch your videos while getting ready for my day! Get that sponsorship bag, girl! It's hard out here, and every TH-camr relies on them nowadays.
Blair, you were the first beauty youtuber I watched over 15 years ago now + the reason why I love makeup today. Even if you came back to pay for your wedding, I would not have minded lol your content is so wholesome + I look forward to all your videos! happy to support you! so happy you're back!
Oh my godness. The amount of nostalgia I have watching this video. I literally grew up with you and Elle, being 12 years old when I started watching (and 28 now), it’s crazy how time flies. I vividly remember people so insane about the name thing! It’s honestly funny thinking about it now and the type of drama there is on yt now. I’m so happy you’re back filming - and good on you for taking the sponsorships you want. I really wish the internet would apologize to you and Elle for being frontrunners when it comes to making money on youtube. People didn’t understand it back then.
Get your bag Blair! You’ve worked hard since you were young and deserve your success however it may come to you. Watching this felt like catching up with a friend. I loved watching you and Elle on YT has a teen. Y’all were my favorite to watch and still are! ❤
Whether or not you're "in it for the sponsorships" is immaterial. You and your OG viewers are grown ups now, we need money. I enjoy your content now just as much as I did back when you started, and hearing your honest opinions on products is just another reason I continue watching
Low key obsessed with the thought of you having your own design firm !! I can't wait !! You're the only OG youtubers I still follow because I've always enjoyed watching you :) Also ... Get that sponsor money, gurl ! In this day and age we should all take advantage of what comes our way !
Get your bag girl! You are an unproblematic OG who deserves it! I loved this video and my high school self thanks you for fulfilling my curiosities 😂 happy to see you back and on my feed!
@@juicystar07 i think elle addressed most of it when she did her video like about skylark and all that. i for sure have to rack my brain though im sure there’s more LOL
You’ve always been such an engaging, succinct and eloquent storyteller. I feel like you and Elle both have always navigated otherwise difficult topics so tactfully. Do you feel like being a TH-camr made standing in front of a classroom and lecturing easier OR do you feel like your time standing in front of a class helped grow your public speaking skills? 🤔
I’m glad you’re back and I am glad you’re able to make money through sponsorships. Yes there are influencers that sell out but just because content is sponsored doesn’t negate that time and effort went into the content. You deserve to be compensated properly. I hope wedding planning is going well and I’m so excited to see your next chapter.
The reality show would off been cool but can totally understand why you guys didn't do it!! Thank you for your honesty and transparency in this video!!
Whenever I watch your videos I'm taken back to when I used to watch your videos when I was younger. I still remember your setup in your closet with all your different colour polo shirts hanging behind you.
You've never lead me astray since I bought an orabrush in 2009 lol I've always trusted your judgement when it comes to your brand deals. Congratulations, btw!!
I would love seeing you make this a series!!! You’re the best Blair and I cannot say how happy it’s made me that you’re back on TH-cam. You’re the first TH-cam channel I watched back in 2009 and here I am in my late 20’s watching your videos still 🥹🩷 and please never feel the need to explain sponsorships. That was such a huge and overblown thing back in the day cause you and Elle were the first to ever have major success on TH-cam, but seriously girl get that coin lol We trust you and Elle and you both are really deserving to get compensation for what you do.
You are the first youtuber that I followed. Your videos have always been aesthetically pleasing but also like a comfort blanket. I always went back to watch your old videos, so I'm excited for new content🤍
I’m around the same age as you and in the same point of my career so I hear ya when it comes to getting extra money whether it’s a side hustle or not! Your sponsorships haven’t bothered me whatsoever. I’ve honestly appreciated you being real about them, explaining why you like them/product, testing out beforehand, etc. Also like hello DoorDash? Who hasn’t used that or a similar service at one point in their life? Definitely going to use my 50% off to treat myself on Labor Day. Also I CANNOT wait for renovation, decorating, etc videos! 🥰
It’s no one’s business what you do with your earnings, if you were a man no one would question you. You get it girl! 🎉🎉🎉 side note… I’m a housewife, with a 2 year old boy, and I found so much inspiration as teenager when i followed you back in the day and I know you helped shape the happy and successful woman I became. x
We’re grown now! Bills need to be paid, get your sponsorship money girl!
iktr !!!!! get your bag im always happy to see you !
Exactly! And at least she’s honest about it. Most people nowadays just lie about it or hide it.
Get your sponsorships Blair!! No one’s forced to watch. Happy for you that this can be another source of income again & we’ve missed you so much ❤
thank you!!! this has been so fun to get back in to AND since it isn't what is supporting my life I feel like I can be pickier with sponsorships and just do the ones that organically fit into videos I already wanted to film.
Totally agree. Smart move, and I love that everything (TH-cam, portfolio, house renovations) is going to come together perfectly! Killing it. 💃
@@juicystar07love this for you and such a great step for your future family 🥰

Agree
Its a little gauche
People are weirdly jealous around money and their lack of I mean I get it. But that is the reason.
I love that your younger self is helping your older self achieve your dreams.
We need a part 2!!!! Or maybe talk about your relationship with TH-camrs in the past! Was their drama? 😂
I really appreciate your transparency around sponsorships and how that’s allowed you to save for your future goals. You clearly put a lot of time and energy into your TH-cam videos, and you absolutely deserve to be able to make some money from it!
I’m still upset by how the internet was so mean to you and your sister. Especially b/c you were a minor at the time. It was perfectly normal to hide who you were, there’s a lot of bad people out there.
I’m happy when we get content from you and your sister, brings a lot of joy to see you around.
Years ago I went to your Macy’s meet and greet and you and Elle really made me feel like you were my friends. I now work in beauty social media + influencer marketing (actually for a brand you’ve done a partnership with recently!) and it feels so full circle to see you back online and be able to support you in this new chapter in your life. It feels like we kind of grew up together and I’m so grateful for that, parasocial or not haha
I had not heard the rumor that Elle is Jelly Bean’s real mom but that is hilarious 🤣
haha it was big back in the day! my moms feelings were hurt because she was like wait.. that's my baby. I went through the morning sickness and labor and delivery HAHA
I entirely missed this rumor back then, too. Wild.
Me tooooo. Tho I was mainly just vibing with their vids…. And to think their only “proof” being Elle’s body is just wild 😭
Omg yes! Just cause they’re both blonde and age gap! 😂❤️ never believed it
Blair are you considering vlogmas? I miss it!
Oh yes! Just comeback for Vlogmas please haha✨👍🏻🤍(if you can)
This! It hasn’t felt like Christmas since Blair’s vlogmas days 😭
I honestly didnt even notice the sponsorships. And I am quite happy to see that you answered the questions but also to the point that you felt comfortable. I respect that a lot 😊
thank you!!
the name thing IS so 2008, lady bird (2017) already settled this: blair is your given name! given to you by you 💫
HAHA wait I love that! I'm gonna tell people that next time they ask if it's my given name - yes, I gave it to me LOL

thank you so much! that's so kind. it's hard to believe it's been that many years but it has!
Same! Been watching since the beginning ❤
I'm so happy for you that you're closer to your goal of renovating and starting your own firm! Also kudos for being able to take scrutiny and be introspective instead of defensive.
would love for you to touch on the concept of being an influencer having an inevitable "end" and how you and elle navigated that, if that makes sense?
Okay but you NEED to get your hands on those unaired pilots and share! That would be so fun to watch you and Elle do a reaction video watching them back 😂
Wow I admire how organized you are with your life! What advice would you give to someone who wanted to be more organized and oriented?
I have trusted every recommendation you've made since 2008 and have never been let down. Get your sponsorships! You deserve them!!!!

I remember that rumor about ur sister having a kid I had no idea where it came from and knowing it was about bra size makes it even more hilarious.
the proof was literally that her boobs were so massive she had to have had a kid before! HAHA she literally had giant knockers since she was 10

You’ve been giving me my old school TH-cam fix lately 😻😻
You should do a reaction video to your old design videos at your apartments and condos!
Hahaha the reality show! No way. I remember the days when y’all dropped Beneath the Glitter. You and Elle were like my big sisters!
aww haha yeah it was almost a show 3 times!

It’s crazy that people forget that you are a real person and that if you can make money from something why wouldn’t you??? Like they wouldn’t do the same thing in that situation. I love that you are documenting your wedding.
that's how I feel, but everyone has their own opinions! I appreciate you sharing that with me tho. sometimes it's hard to remember that when you're just reading comments like "you're just here for the money" etc.
I am sure that can make posting very hard at times. I think when people see others doing great it’s sadly easier to bring people down rather than rise them up when they are jealous . Well even when people are here to just hate thank them for their view and tell them to move on. 😂
I support you and you deserve all the sponsorships. So thankful I get to watch you again!!
I can totally see you becoming the next Sarah Richardson with your own show and being a working mama 😊
Goals. Dreams. Everything.
Absolutely love this!! I hate when you tubers try hard to hide their sponsorships. I'm glad you and other seasoned people just say it upfront. Happy to see you happy making content and your life now is definitely more relatable
Love that you are back on TH-cam! Get those sponsorships!! Ive been watching you and Elle since I was 12 and I’m 28 now! I would love to hear about your thoughts on the influencer community today and what it has become since you and Elle are the OGs!
Changing your name is easy. If you're doing it after marriage to change your last name, you just do your first name as well. I had a cousin do the same thing, changing to the name she had gone by her whole life rather than her legal (birth certificate) name. Any name change is a pain, there's so much to update, but there's nothing special about doing your first name when you're doing any kind of name change already. -- I only caution to do it when you know you won't be traveling for a couple months after, just because you have to do things in a certain order and it takes a little while for some of the pieces to come back.
I loved your 'Through the Years' series! Do you see this making a comeback and picking up from where you last left off?
I’m so happy you found such a great firm! I’m a graduate of Interior Design and have really struggled finding a place that would help me learn.
Would love to have a part 2! So happy to have you back on TH-cam!!!!
Girl get the money. You’ve grown up so much. You also don’t owe it to anyone to stick around anyway. It’s your life. You can change your mind any time you want.
NGL I love the idea of this being a series on your channel ❤
Man, these videos have been so comforting, it's so nice to have you back, Blair! There just something so nostalgic about making my coffee in the morning and sitting down to watch your videos while getting ready for my day!
Get that sponsorship bag, girl! It's hard out here, and every TH-camr relies on them nowadays.
so excited about the house content!!
Blair, you were the first beauty youtuber I watched over 15 years ago now + the reason why I love makeup today. Even if you came back to pay for your wedding, I would not have minded lol your content is so wholesome + I look forward to all your videos! happy to support you! so happy you're back!
I don’t think I’ve ever been this early?? lol can’t miss a juicystar07 video!!
thanks for your support!!!
Omg I’d die to see the pilot tv show!! Wish it was on TH-cam!
I wish I still had it!!!! I wonder if there's a time frame where we could share it now. but I don't even have copies.
@@juicystar07 if you ever find it you and Elle should react to it and post it to TH-cam!! ❤️
Oh my godness. The amount of nostalgia I have watching this video. I literally grew up with you and Elle, being 12 years old when I started watching (and 28 now), it’s crazy how time flies. I vividly remember people so insane about the name thing! It’s honestly funny thinking about it now and the type of drama there is on yt now. I’m so happy you’re back filming - and good on you for taking the sponsorships you want. I really wish the internet would apologize to you and Elle for being frontrunners when it comes to making money on youtube. People didn’t understand it back then.
Get your bag Blair! You’ve worked hard since you were young and deserve your success however it may come to you. Watching this felt like catching up with a friend. I loved watching you and Elle on YT has a teen. Y’all were my favorite to watch and still are! ❤
Whether or not you're "in it for the sponsorships" is immaterial. You and your OG viewers are grown ups now, we need money. I enjoy your content now just as much as I did back when you started, and hearing your honest opinions on products is just another reason I continue watching
Low key obsessed with the thought of you having your own design firm !! I can't wait !! You're the only OG youtubers I still follow because I've always enjoyed watching you :) Also ... Get that sponsor money, gurl ! In this day and age we should all take advantage of what comes our way !
Get your bag girl! You are an unproblematic OG who deserves it! I loved this video and my high school self thanks you for fulfilling my curiosities 😂 happy to see you back and on my feed!
i love when i get to hear the tea i thought i would never hear about as a kid😂
hahaha anything else you've been curious about?
@@juicystar07 Ha ha Yes. Hello, Blair.
@@juicystar07 i think elle addressed most of it when she did her video like about skylark and all that. i for sure have to rack my brain though im sure there’s more LOL
Can we get a tour of the house/ when you bought it why you bought it etc?
You’ve always been such an engaging, succinct and eloquent storyteller. I feel like you and Elle both have always navigated otherwise difficult topics so tactfully. Do you feel like being a TH-camr made standing in front of a classroom and lecturing easier OR do you feel like your time standing in front of a class helped grow your public speaking skills? 🤔
I’m glad you’re back and I am glad you’re able to make money through sponsorships. Yes there are influencers that sell out but just because content is sponsored doesn’t negate that time and effort went into the content. You deserve to be compensated properly. I hope wedding planning is going well and I’m so excited to see your next chapter.
I personally love seeing sponsorships, shows the success and she turned TH-cam into a career so let her make her coin 🎉
The reality show would off been cool but can totally understand why you guys didn't do it!! Thank you for your honesty and transparency in this video!!
i personally love that you have sponsors. you work hard on videos too even if its just a hobby.
YES, A SERIES, PLS
If anyone on TH-cam deserves sponsorships, it’s YOU. You are the OG! ❤
Definitely enjoy being married first before kids. Kids really do take over every aspect of life, mostly in good ways but it does change things.
Whenever I watch your videos I'm taken back to when I used to watch your videos when I was younger. I still remember your setup in your closet with all your different colour polo shirts hanging behind you.
Blair, with love I'll never forget your tissue sponsored video 😂 it was so cute, so funny & such a product of its time.
Soooo happy to see how far you've come!
Definitely need a port 2!!!!❤❤❤
You've never lead me astray since I bought an orabrush in 2009 lol I've always trusted your judgement when it comes to your brand deals. Congratulations, btw!!
WAIT! I STILL USE AN ORABRUSH EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
Love that you’re back and that you have sponsorships !
I would love seeing you make this a series!!! You’re the best Blair and I cannot say how happy it’s made me that you’re back on TH-cam. You’re the first TH-cam channel I watched back in 2009 and here I am in my late 20’s watching your videos still 🥹🩷 and please never feel the need to explain sponsorships. That was such a huge and overblown thing back in the day cause you and Elle were the first to ever have major success on TH-cam, but seriously girl get that coin lol We trust you and Elle and you both are really deserving to get compensation for what you do.
I always enjoyed your home decor videos! Can't wait to see what you get done with the up coming renovation projects :)
You are the first youtuber that I followed. Your videos have always been aesthetically pleasing but also like a comfort blanket. I always went back to watch your old videos, so I'm excited for new content🤍
I’m around the same age as you and in the same point of my career so I hear ya when it comes to getting extra money whether it’s a side hustle or not! Your sponsorships haven’t bothered me whatsoever. I’ve honestly appreciated you being real about them, explaining why you like them/product, testing out beforehand, etc.
Also like hello DoorDash? Who hasn’t used that or a similar service at one point in their life? Definitely going to use my 50% off to treat myself on Labor Day.
Also I CANNOT wait for renovation, decorating, etc videos! 🥰
Girl get the sponsorships and do it for the money! I look it like brands are paying you to entertain me, I love u 🥰
It’s no one’s business what you do with your earnings, if you were a man no one would question you. You get it girl! 🎉🎉🎉 side note… I’m a housewife, with a 2 year old boy, and I found so much inspiration as teenager when i followed you back in the day and I know you helped shape the happy and successful woman I became. x
Blair has always been an Entrepreneur, that's basically it. You never get away from Entrepreneurship and it always comes back to you.
