Goodbye 🌻🌻🌻

The day has finally come - it's time to retire and say goodbye to my KZbin channel, and I want to say from the bottom of my heart how grateful I am for all of the support you've given me over the last 10 years. I wouldn't be in the position I am today without all of your love & support, and I thank each of you for tuning in each week for new content & following my journey through my 20's.
If you're still keen on staying up to date with home inspo & reno content, make sure to go and follow my home Insta account Arna Abode... new home content will be coming your way shortly!
Gah, not sure what else to say. This all feels so anticlimactic, but also just right, so I wish you all well, and look forward to chatting with y'all on Instagram!!

So much love to you all, my little sunflowers! 🌻

I am so sad to see you go 😩😩😩😩 Excited for your future IG content but IT’S NOT THE SAME!! Still I am SO proud of you and excited for you!!

[@taylorwynn]

Aw this makes me so sad but so happy you feel content about the decision and are loving your new jobs. You will be missed on KZbin!!! 🖤

[@gljohnson84]

You and arna are my absolute go to KZbinrs, gutted 😢 💔

[@sarahkalnajs5810]

Awww - I was so hoping this was Clickbait! You will be utterly missed.

[@ArnaAlayneMorton]

Awww I wouldn’t play with your hearts like that haha thank you for the love & support x

[@notabeautyguru9198]

@@ArnaAlayneMorton where did you get your earrings?

[@graciemorrison6863]

I would be lying if I didn’t say I was incredibly sad to see you leave KZbin, I completely understand why you’re leaving but still sad. I’ve been watching this channel for 7-8 years and even though I don’t know Arna personally, she feels like an old friend and I’ve watched every video she’s posted for many years. Best of luck in your new position and I’m glad we’ll still be able to keep up with you on social 😌

[@ambersara]

Please come back, us fair skin girls need you 😔🩷

[@Sara-iy3oz]

Any life updates? You were my one and only for anything pale skin related🥲

[@Mica1]

I've been here for years and it's been an absolute joy to cheer you and Mr. Morton on!✨ I am gutted to see you go, and I was looking forward to following you on this platform through our 30's. However, I absolutely understand your reasoning and support you 100%! ❤️Like you said, we've still got instagram! 📸 Thank you for all the moments you've shared with us, and I'm so grateful that I could tag along on the journey. I am so thrilled for you both and I wish you all the best in the future! ☀️ See you on instagram! ✨🌻🌻🌻✨❤️

[@emmagbee]

I couldn’t have said it better than this comment! I loved your maturity and realness and was looking forward to seeing a snippet into your thirties, along with my own thirties. But most of all, I just highly respect your decision, am proud of you, and look forward to little peaks on Instagram! Always wishing you the best.

[@whitneysteers8029]

I am so so sad about this but honestly feel so grateful to have “known” you at all!!! Thank you for all you have shared over the years. I will truly miss your videos!!!

[@lidiakuhn6505]

Awww, you are such a sweet young lady, you will be missed. What’s your life brings, best wishes to you and your husband. And let the music play … … … Be happy ❤️

[@Mimmiisnothere]

Oh my god...i don't really even know what to say...i've been following you since #thelightestshade 😭❤ I never comment, but i ALWAYS watch. You and other colleges always have helped me with my severe anxiety and depression. I am totally not saying that to "make you feel bad" for leaving, just to thank you for all of those years. We love you and are happy for you!♡

[@TracyD2]

I hope your able to eradicate your anxiety and depression over time. I understand it unfortunately. Meditation helps. Blessings to you and joy to you. 🤍

[@rachjade8785]

Your channel has helped me get through some of my worst times. When I was struggling with my degree and felt so isolated in a city that never felt like home, your channel helped me learn to be myself and to keep pushing through. I having been an active viewer since work and life have been crazy, but I always come back to your channel and love when I get a notification that you have uploaded. Thank you for everything you have done for me without knowing it, I could never stop smiling when you replied to my comments on here or on Instagram. Be happy ❤️

[@ArnaAlayneMorton]

Thank you lovely ☺️ so glad my content helped you through those years!! Xx

[@kamleon1975]

I dont get why she left though

[@sashadonovan-anns9528]

How incredible that you have been able to find such fulfilling work with your orchestra, it just seems right that that's where your journey has gone! I started following this channel way back as a ghostly teenager trying to not look orange and following up your pale skin recs. I say ghostly because I was also dealing withthe onset of chronic illness, and I really wasn't well at all. Once I'd ran out of laid back daytime TV to watch (that wouldn't make me feel sick!) I turned to calm, chatty KZbin. Since then I've seen your sofa over the balcony adventures, your historical makeup videos, your PhD... and here you are now! My favourite thing about your channel compared to other beauty channels is that it has always been secondary to you as a musician. I've loved the behind the scenes too, as a once vocational ballet dancer! It's so amazing how you've grown in your career, so I gotta take the bitter with the sweet and thank you right back for so many years of content! Xxxx

[@mandypratley9723]

Goodbye 😥, will still see you on Instagram 🌻🏡🌻

[@dreabenson7228]

You helped keep me sane during lock down. Thank you and good luck.

[@cheryladams4546]

Awe you will truly be missed !!! Good luck in all you do

[@mckenziekaryn1159]

I first found your channel because I couldn't find a light enough foundation, and then stayed for all of your other wonderful content. Can't believe it's been 10 years! Congrats on the milestone and I am sorry to see you go. All the best! Xxx

[@WhateverULike02]

I don’t have instagram, but I wish you all the best! My heart aches and I will miss you dearly!💕

[@lanaea8735]

You will be greatly missed on here! You are amazing and beautiful and will do many great things! ❤️

Sad you’re leaving. I wish you and your husband the very best. Much love to you. Your dog is so cute 🥰

[@meganwilliams207]

grew up watching you and I’m so sad to see you go🙁 I’m over here tearing up😭😭😭

[@CK_Loves_Tea]

It’s been wonderful to follow along your journey. The CSO are so lucky to have you! Thank you for your time & energy here. You have done wonderful things for pale folx in the Southern Hemisphere. I used your tips & tricks for my wedding makeup! I wish you all the best on your new adventures. You’re going to be magnificent in those roles. 🥳

[@ladybird242]

Gracious, I didn't think I'd ever be emotional about a KZbin channel ending but your super cozy vlogs got me through some lonely parts of the pandemic and most importantly I picked the violin back up because of your videos. I hadn't played since college and now I'm Principal 2nd in a county wide community orchestra and I'm part of a Fiddlers Association. Thank you for everything you shared over the years and your work with CSO sounds very exciting! They are so lucky that you and Mr. Morton returned to NZ!!

[@belindachipperfield1161]

😭😭😭😭 Im so sad, I will miss seeing you all very much

[@JuliasBBeauty]

Good luck on your next life journey Arna!

[@kelllycaldwelll5558]

Congratulations on wrapping up an amazing body of work on KZbin. I'm so excited for your next chapter. Thankyou for sharing your world with us over the years. It has been a pleasure to watch. I follow both arna abode and the CSO so its not goodbye. It just see you in another space. Well done Arna. Ive loved seeing you grow and thrive over the years.

[@kelseygeorge1654]

It's the end of an era! 😥You and I are about the same age, we're both musicians (piano for me), and fair skinned ladies. I spent a good chunk of my 20's growing up with you. I'll certainly miss seeing you on KZbin, but I'm so proud of all you've accomplished and absolutely thrilled to see you settled in your career with the CSO. I wish you and Alex the best of luck in your future endeavors. Thank you for all of the amazing content you've shared over the years! I'll catch you over on Instagram.❤

[@NikitaUnique]

Thank you for all that you’ve shared with us over the years! Best wishes in all that you do going forward. 🥰

So sad , but good luck with all your adventures ❤❤❤ you bring me so much joy

[@emiliebova]

I have enjoyed watching your videos over the years. You remind me of my two daughters who are 33 and 31 and finishing up dmas in piano performance. Will check in on instagram! Good luck with your new adventures.

[@ginnyburley9552]

It’s absolutely wonderful to see your professional and personal lives evolve so beautifully! During my professional life I had the honor of having new and challenging opportunities as the years passed. It will keep you vital and challenged and that’s just what life should be. I’m glad to be able to get glances of you on Instagram!

[@rachelgrubbs]

Thank you for sharing your life with us. I’ve been following you for more than 6 years, and we’ve both come so far and grown so much in that time. I hope you’ll leave this channel up for us to rewatch old videos. Wishing you all the best!

[@hananik1112]

😦 aww this makes me so sad. As long as you enjoy your new current job.

[@lofanlin]

Please leave the videos up 🥹🫶🏻🙏❤️your videos are very helpful

[@lilllisal]

So sorry to see you go. It's soooo hard to find truly pale pasty skinned recommendations :(so many people think they're pale when they're really not below the mainstream

[@nicoles2016]

I still can’t believe it 😢 I have been following you for so many years now. Good luck 💜

Good luck Arna. I wish you many blessings in your home and your new work journey! God bless! 🙏❤️

[@jdxx59]

Awwww I am sad. I much prefer You Tube to Instagram but I understand people can put up content quicker on Instagram. I have been watching your channel since you were near the end of your PhD and Mr Morton was working in Perth. I’ve loved watching your journey. I,will follow you on Arna Abode - I love your style. All the best with your busy life. CSO are lucky to have you! xx

Aww Arna I’m so sad I won’t see you here anymore, but it’s so exciting that your career has evolved as it has!! So glad I’ll still be able to stay updated on your Instagram ❤️❤️❤️

[@allisonhancockpresley6247]

I'm so sad... But incredibly happy for you! I hope you'll keep the content up so we can refer to swatches. No one else has the same skin tone exactly as me. If you don't, no hard feelings. I'll keep following on Instagram of course!!

[@LCoco021]

Oh no! Just found your channel a couple weeks ago, and I loved it so much. Sad to see you go but I wish you all the best for your future.

[@ArnaAlayneMorton]

Awww that’s always a shame when that happens eh!! Thank you - hopefully you can enjoy perusing my old content for a while x

[@SandiColette]

I've never been so sad for a goodbye video. Your transition from mainly a beauty channel coincided perfectly with my changing interests and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos. I was finishing my Master's around the same time you were getting your PhD. We even just bought a house! I feel so stupid that I feel like I am losing a friend. I never expected to be emotional over a KZbin channel. Lol. All that pity party being said, I am so happy for you that you have found the perfect mix of careers to fulfill you. It seems perfectly full circle after watching your pain completing your PhD. I wish you and Alex all the best and will definitely continue to follow on Insta! Xoxo

[@NatalieValentina6]

Arna, you will truly be missed here on YT🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻. I found you in 2015, through your pale skin content, & stayed for the ride. I'll never forget your GOT videos😋. Congratulations on your new position! I hope it's fulfilling, you deserve the best of everything😘. Cheers to you & Alex🥂.

[@catherinehigham6720]

So sorry, but I wish you only good things. Thanks for all your hard work. X

[@labaccident2010]

I’m not a big beauty video watcher, but I’ve always liked yours, partly because a lot of the ones I’ve watched from you were clicked on because I, too am extremely pale. Sad to see you go, but I wish you well in everything, and I’m fairly sure most everyone else here wishes you well also!

[@julz4196]

im sad to see u go but thank u so much for all the beauty recs and replying directly to help us etc!!! i hated my pale skin SO much until i learned how to embrace it and ur videos definitely helped a ton!!! wishing u all the best xx

[@littlefoot461]

This is bittersweet but I wish you all the best! I will miss your videos and am grateful to haven’t gotten to “know” you ❤️

Where are you from in New Zealand? Because my accent is kinda similar to yours and I’ve always felt like my kiwi accent is quite different to ppl in Auckland.

This is crazy, I just watched your Maybelline dream radiant foundation review and was about to subscribe only to see this! It’s super rare to see an Australian youtuber. Love your energy and all the very best for the future :)

[@Lilblue515]

It was so lovely to have been a part of watching and enjoying your channel. You were one of the first youtubers I ever followed when I started watching around 2018 I think. I wish you so much success in all your future endeavors and am so glad you were able to leave in a way that made you feel content.

[@lorileblanc616]

This is so sad. First Sarah Therese and now you. Things will not be the same but I wish you all the happiness.

[@Gmcw002]

Hmm you might regret this. Definitely don’t take your existing videos down they should still provide you money. Could have continued along for years with a video every couple months, could still get sponsorships. I wouldn’t discount the value of a big audience. Your audience on KZbin is a lot bigger than on IG. But I understand the not having time thing. Good luck

[@ElenaVictoriaNezh]

It’s been very nice following your videos and hearing about your music adventures too. Best wishes and you will be missed! 🎶

[@ArnaAlayneMorton]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@kimpelders4996]

[@pragyashrestha4886]

It is sad to see you go. You were my 1st youtuber, 1st person who taught me makeup. As a vision impaired, love for makeup and your techniques, product recommendation encouraged me to do more. I was sad when you changed from beauty to lifestyle but still stayed and used to eagerly wait for the makeup. videos. But seeing you go made me more sad. Good luck for your future. Hope you achieve more and more.

[@tahliaanderson2848]

SO sad to see you go Arna, but warmly wish you all the best in your new life. I’m not sure how many years I’ve followed you, but I can count 5 apartments/houses, you were brunette, pre-phD, you travelled overseas, Alex went to Perth, etc. You truly have grown as a person, and you deserve every success. You will be missed, but I look forward to continuing to follow you on Instagram :)
