[@princessjoules]

Ahhhh hi angel! You’re so so sweet. Thank you for always being a loyal supporter. I appreciate you. I hope you’ve been well. Never stop being amazing. ❤️❤️❤️ Love ya, Xoxo Joules

[@WhiteNervosa]

"Over 12 years, now." I watched your videos for so long, I looked you up to recommend you to someone else when I was younger. You're an inspiration, queen, and you'll slay no matter what you do in life - you'll continue to be that inspiring.

[@princessjoules]

Awe! Thank you so much for being a supporter I really appreciate you. I hope you're doing well. Stay strong and shine on always! Xoxo Julie

[@gk9546]

We're the same age and I've been watching you from the very beginning.. I understand exactly the feeling. I really appreciate everything you've done to educate and entertain us at the same time. You're your own person, I hope find your spark soon enough ♥️!!

[@princessjoules]

1992 babies is where it's at! Thank you for understanding! Hopefully we can be back on track, more steady than ever. Bless. Xoxo

It's so nice to hear how you're doing - thank you for the update video. You look as young and beautiful as ever. I have the feeling that in your 40 year old update video you will look exactly as youthful as you do in this one!

[@princessjoules]

Thank you Tracey for being here! Such kind words. If I start taking skincare more seriously now, hopefully by 40 I will still look youthful hehe. Bless you.

Girl I would check your channel ever so often, looking to see if you’ve posted. Yes your videos were informative but your purpose wasn’t just about being informative. You would spread joy and light.

Hi!! I started watching you since I was barely in high school!!! I’m almost 26 now. Crazy! Your candidness about your struggles was something I really appreciated and I felt like I learned a lot

[@ryleefalk1008]

Glad to see an update video from you! You're one of my biggest inspirations and watching your transition throughout the years has helped me so much! It's because of you I finally felt ready to start my transition and now here I am, happier than ever!! You probably don't remember me but you replied to one of my comments on Facebook several years ago and that was one of the best moments of my life lol. Even if you never see this I want to thank you for helping me and so many others feel comfortable enough to live our lives as our true authentic selves. Thank you so much Mother Sparkles!!!

[@princessjoules]

Rylee!!! This touched my heart. I'm gonna cry stop. I'm glad you're on your journey, and I hope nothing but the best for you. Always remember not to rush anything, enjoy the process and the hard times will only make you become a stronger person. I'm glad that we can both help each other grow and blossom. Stay strong and always shine on. Bless your heart. Xoxo Mother Sparkles 🥰

[@itachivemo21]

Joules, you've inspired me so much and I've watched you since I was young. You helped me figure out my identity, and encouraged me to go through with pursuing my authentic self. I will be eternally grateful to you, for being a kind of "older sister" role model that I needed to help me get by. Love you, and I wish you the absolute best.

Welcome back, Queen! Miss these kind-off contents!

[@brittanya5144]

Good to hear from you again! I really looked up to you when I was a 16 and first went "full-time" as I believe they call that. I hated the way I looked and seeing your videos always kept me hopeful and trying to get to that point where I looked even remotely feminine. I'm 26 now, nearly 27. I've developed so much over the years, and my hair went from "short Asian boy cut" to absolutely flowing and reaching my lower back, and I have a boyfriend who absolutely adores me and treats me well (in extreme contrast to the gross chasers of my past that I would put up with). I never thought it would be possible, but seeing your progress kept me going through the rougher years in the beginning. It took me 11 years to learn to love myself, but I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

[@roseelliott2728]

Julie, I love your channel so much. Yours was the first channel I ever subscribed to and I fell in love with you and your content. I’d love to see you do lifestyle and travel content ❤

I agree! Thank you! Xoxo

[@donaldaxel]

I'm 76! Don't worry. You have developed knowledge how media works and you have used it well, in your own sweet way. I totally get that 12 years are a lot, and I have followed you maybe 11½ year, so I know there could be more reasons to either stop or partly stop (one video every half year, that would be half stop.) I don't need to list the reasons. Why I followed for such a long time? You were the first to be honest when appropriate, you have empathy, I remember two replys to me! and you have style. But now-adays you have made travel videos which are amazing, I have been "with you" (kind of) in Taj Mahal, in some fabulous temples and/or buildings in Iniai, then hiking, now Thailand, now VietNam, now-and-then Vancouver, and California, once Theatre, once BigBrotherCanada. And now I enjoy your FB story about the Dragon Bridge. I was seriously ill - in remission - and during those years there was always a smiling feminine travel-host, named Julie.

Glad to see you back & doing well!! 🥹👏👏 I turn 30 this year & literally just got done telling my husband I declare my 30's the decade I truly focus on health in all ways & balance in life. My 20's were about struggle, self discovery, & excess so I feel it's time to really look inward to become my best self for me & all the important people in my life! I wish you a fulfilling life & excellent 30's! From a fellow millennial🥳😊🥰

[@princessjoules]

Hi Liyanda! I totally can relate to what you're saying!!! I know in our 30's it's going to be the best decade ever. We got this! Exfoliate, moisturize and stay away from negativity. Stay strong and shine on gorgeous! Xoxo Julie

[@MingWLee]

A decade is not a short period of time, we only get 10 of it if we live to 100 yrs old! What an achievement and journey you have made, Joules. 💕 I could understand you feel a little lost overall in your life, I was there long ago and it seems so much uncertainty in front of you. As we grow older, we need to find more time for self caring, skincare is one of them. I'm not sure if everyone react the same but for most of my friends, they slow down quite a bit from their social life. Less party, less adventurous trips, and it becomes more lay down relaxing hang out, started to talk about the past events (Yep, it become way more often lol) In short, if I compare to my lifestyle in 20s, it is a complete opposite. Maybe it has something to do with having a family, but I suspect having a tie BFF group serve the same purpose. Since steaming has become to common now, maybe you could have fun and hang out with your fan base? As far as I know, you don't has to make a career out of it, but keep your connection with your fan isn't a bad idea, eh? Welcome back again~ 💕

Stopppp there’s no way I’m officially older than you were when you started KZbin 😵‍💫 I’m so happy to have grown up with you though. So much of the knowledge, understanding, and connection I’ve been able to have with the LGBTQ+ community is because of you sharing your journey and getting to be a part of it at a young age (I discovered your channel when I was around 11 or 12!

Joules, you are undoubtedly one of the first trans women I had ever seen as a little tweeny bopper. Im 24 now but ive been following you since about right before you came out (as a girl tehe) which idek how long ago was, and at the time I was a lost girl who denied and feared every aspect of her transness and womanhood. You showed me how beautiful and complicated the process of finding ourselves is, especially also being asian we had absolutely no asian trans representation in the early years so please never forget that you have helped so many girls like us by simply sharing your life so genuinely. I wouldnt have learned about gender-variance and then transness without your videos, and im grateful to see you happy again even if that means finding a new purpose

[@syarh]
