Addressing the Rumors and Answering All Your Assumptions About Me!

[@sprklsbeauty]

Exactly! And at least she’s honest about it. Most people nowadays just lie about it or hide it.

[@isabellamacae1]

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 ❤

[@juicystar07]

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.

[@nsullivan12]

Totally agree. Smart move, and I love that everything (KZbin, portfolio, house renovations) is going to come together perfectly! Killing it. 💃

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 KZbin channel and deserve to reap the benefits of your hard work!!

[@juicystar07]

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

[@nosequeponer1600]

Agree

[@MsPinkFrosted]

Its a little gauche

[@Sarah3944]

People are weirdly jealous around money and their lack of I mean I get it. But that is the reason.

We need a part 2!!!! Or maybe talk about your relationship with KZbinrs in the past! Was their drama? 😂

[@12harrypotterfan34]

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 KZbin videos, and you absolutely deserve to be able to make some money from it!

Blair are you considering vlogmas? I miss it!

[@erikazavala1626]

Oh yes! Just comeback for Vlogmas please haha✨👍🏻🤍(if you can)

[@RhondasModernLife]

This! It hasn’t felt like Christmas since Blair’s vlogmas days 😭

[@chlobell]

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

[@MeLlamoJane]

I had not heard the rumor that Elle is Jelly Bean’s real mom but that is hilarious 🤣

[@juicystar07]

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

[@MaeGal]

I entirely missed this rumor back then, too. Wild.

[@joshytm]

Me tooooo. Tho I was mainly just vibing with their vids…. And to think their only “proof” being Elle’s body is just wild 😭

[@mawiewamos]

Omg yes! Just cause they’re both blonde and age gap! 😂❤️ never believed it

[@_inmyhead]

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]

thank you!!

[@itsannalewis]

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!

[@ellasolazzo9349]

I love having you back in KZbin 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

[@carolineprince14]

the name thing IS so 2008, lady bird (2017) already settled this: blair is your given name! given to you by you 💫

[@juicystar07]

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

[@carolineprince14]

I have a notes page on my phone with movies I wanna see and I just added this to the list! thanks for the recommendation!

[@user-ladygrier4]

​@@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'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.

[@lornamason5808]

All your videos just make my day. I'm about to turn 30 and I've been watching you since I was 14! Love how comfortable you are in yourself nowadays ❤

[@juicystar07]

thank you so much! that's so kind. it's hard to believe it's been that many years but it has!

[@MarlanaPolis]

Same! Been watching since the beginning ❤

[@morganc0]

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. ❤

[@juicystar07]

thank you so much! this is so kind and I appreciate the time you took to type this out :)

[@adrianaescalante663]

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?

[@hanelno]

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

[@indymast3443]

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 KZbin 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 :)

[@dani2g]

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?

[@allisonmoore4058]

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 😂

[@melissa2605]

I have trusted every recommendation you've made since 2008 and have never been let down. Get your sponsorships! You deserve them!!!!

[@BrandySwords]

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!

[@ilove_shoes]

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!

[@Kaleigh.M]

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!

[@nfrwasherbestalbum]

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

[@elmad770]

Now this is the type of tea we want! Blair always keeps it real and I really appreciate that ❤

[@kate.victoria]

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 KZbin

[@franciemcquarrie8736]

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!

[@ashleyelice5465]

Watching your videos makes me calm ☺️ It puts me in a happy place, especially when life challenges arise. Helps me decompress, so thank you, Blair!

[@juicystar07]

I'm so glad!

[@elizabethm6127]

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!)

[@imjoat7551]

With sponsors if I’m not interested in it I just fast forward that part - no issue :) it’s good to see you back!

[@roxannejade7187]

Love that you’re back! Been here since the very beginning and I sometimes still go back to your old Mac hauls to relive my childhood 💜

[@juicystar07]

I do that with KZbinrs 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

[@makeupbyjessw]

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 ❤

[@avaamaya5320]

You were the very first KZbinr I started following waaaaaaay back when and were the inspiration for me starting my own channel. I’m so happy to see you back!

[@VivaLaDecadence]

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.

[@juicystar07]

this is absolutely not the life I was expecting but I also could not have dreamed that it would be this good! thanks for your comment and support :)

[@collierincolor8972]

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.

@JuicyStar07, I can’t express how excited I am to see you back on KZbin! 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 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.
