TAKING A BREAK FROM YOUTUBE | Finding Inspiration & Recharging

[@AllisonChase]

Hi friends 🩷 Salut tout le monde I have decided to take a small break from posting here in KZbin. Recently, I was left wondering "are all of these collections and brands uninspiring, or am I simply uninspired?". The best way to find out is to take a pause. This month marks the 8 year anniversary of my very first upload here on KZbin and since then I have posted consistently 3 times a week. It's time to rest and recharge and I look forward to coming back and sharing my morning coffee with you ☕ I will not be posting new content for a couple of months but I will be responding to comments so fee free to reach out.

[@DeborahCarlston]

Very considerate of you to tell us in advance. Enjoy your time off. We'll be here when you get back.

[@ivanaaparicio1788]

Yes. We will be here when you come back. And yes, the collections are unispired . Same thing every time. Make up creativity is limited unless we go to the next level beyond imagination: artistic makeup expression . We will miss you Ally. ❤❤❤❤

[@sergehoule7620]

You will leave a hole in my KZbin viewing! I enjoy your expertise, your taste and your input before purchasing a new product…. I will miss your content, but my bank account will thrive! Enjoy your hiatus…. But not too long ❤

[@masbella_]

We love & support you!! 💗🙏🏽💯

[@maureenmeganck400]

Enjoy and take care!!❤❤❤ we will be here when you come back! Wil miss you....

[@mjbelle23]

I love that you gave the watchers and didn’t just disappear, very thoughtful. Praying the best for you in your time off

[@polinatalmeltzer450]

I miss you very much, because you review makeup and skincare that I really like, without all those stupid trends and questional brands. But I understand, that everyone deserves a break! I hope, you’re ok and I’m looking forward to your return!! 🎉❤

[@AllisonChase]

Aww thank you 🩵 I've really been enjoying my break but I look forward to coming back Polina.

[@EXOmakemeHorololo]

I'm gonna miss you!!! Especially your Chanel takes and pretty looks. I like that you don't buy everything and have your own style 😅other channels often make me feel like you can't participate or interact if you don't constantly buy stuff but with you it feels more thoughtful and discerning

[@stephaniepfaff3648]

Nooooooo😢😢😢😢Saddest news ever...please come back soon...i will miss you dearly,as you know!xoxo, Steffi ❤Big hugs are coming your way!❤😘

[@petshopgirl39]

A well earned rest, Allison. There is so little inspiring makeup these days, Chanel behaving like Colourpop pumping out these random releases which lack cohesion. I wouldn’t blame you for feeling uninspired by it all. I feel the same. One of the reasons I like your channel is that you are mindful with your purchase and you create further content using your purchases. I wish you a great sabbatical and that you find your mojo!

[@beth6445]

Allison, this is so well-deserved. Enjoy and please come back when the time is right. You are fabulous and will be missed

[@LindsayGriffiths-ms7fz]

Wishing you all the best Allison, I shall miss your videos very much. ❤

[@yukikos4913]

I already can't wait for your return, but i shall watch your past videos and learn/get inspirations to use older products I already own. I will start slow-buy and focus on using what I own and love, not collecting new makeup! Until your return, take care! Love from U.K. ❤

[@AllisonChase]

Thank you so much 😊 I look forward to coming back.

[@Mi_Chelle1968]

You will be missed for sure! Putting yourself is most important! ♥️♥️♥️ Enjoy your time!

[@kellyg-wl8co]

You will be missed Allison but we’ll be here when you’re ready to return from your well deserved sabbatical! You are my favorite #1 Chanel Expert!!❤️

[@Coffee-911]

I am going to miss your content so much - I love everything you do. Rest, refresh and I look forward to your return❤

[@bzdwatson]

ohhh Allie you WILL be missed, but I am so glad you have the wisdom to know when you need to take a break and recharge. YOU are the most important thing, and your content will be better for it when you return feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Take great care of yourself and have a lovely break!

[@MaryVillano-bk7mi]

Good for you recognizing the need for a break and a recharge. Giving us all permission and inspiration to do the same.❤

[@butanska]

Alli, I hope you have the best of time during your sabbatical and come back as inspired and inspiring as ever! I will miss so much having my coffee with you three times a week, discovering and rediscovering makeup and beauty! I don't think I own a single makeup product that is not Alli approved at this point, so thank you for all the great reviews and recommendations! 😊 Finally, I just wanted you to know that after 30+ years of believing that blue eyeshadow is an absolute taboo for dark brown eyes, you convinced me to give it a try and it was actually pretty! 💙 Counting down the days until you're back, but until then I hope you enjoy every minute of every day and have lots of fun! 🤗

[@suvimaria82]

Take your time, enjoy your sabbatical and recharge your batteries. You and your great content will be missed. But I’m sure you’ll return with something even more exciting. ❤

[@An-ct5yf]

I loooooove your content and you as creator . Take your time ,enjoy & recharge and I will be there when you come back .

[@J_L970]

Enjoy this well deserved and overdue break! YT is a hard slog. 'Til next semester!

[@suzannemonks5148]

Your videos will be missed. I love your simple yet beautiful looks. But more excitedly enjoy your break, it will fly by, as time always does! Best of luck and I look forward to your return 😊

[@AllisonChase]

Thank you! I look forward to coming back 🩷

[@meggiegreen6415]

Thank you because it was really nice of you to warn us that you’re going on sabbatical. I wish you an eye opening and interesting time away from KZbin. I live in Montreal and who knows maybe we will bump into each other at Holts. Enjoy your well deserved break. See you whenever you’re ready to come back🤗.

[@flocali3270]

Precious Allison.....we all need a break at some point so I will say.......Just thoroughly enjoy it girl because you work very hard!!!! We all will be looking forward to your return. You are loved and so appreciated!!!

[@moltengirl6797]

Allison, Take care of yourself! Honestly, I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did. We need to look after ourselves so that we can be our best for others. Self-care is so neglected unfortunately and I fall into that category as well. You give so much of yourself to others that you have nothing left for yourself. With respect to makeup and all of these trends and products and launches, honestly? You can go crazy! But trust me.....they'll still be here and MORE when you return! Be well, nurture and be kind to yourself. You deserve it. Much love and best wishes for a successful semester and "Me-cation"!! 💖🌸

[@AllisonChase]

Right? 😆 I'm surprised that I made it this long too. But this break is good and long needed.

[@cristinafrancisco6773]

Hello Allison, I will miss your videos but I do understand why you’re taking a sabbatical. You’ve been a consistent creator who produces wonderful content. That being said, a break will allow you to focus on your creativity and find inspiration. Bonne chance chère Allison et je te souhaite tout le meilleur ❤❤❤

[@dreicher]

Recharge time! Breaks are good. I look forward to your return because I just love your channel.

[@lesleawitter5534]

I’ll miss your videos, but I’m happy to see you stepping back to recharge yourself. You deserve taking time for yourself and getting new perspectives. We’ll look forward to seeing you back after the new year!❤

[@AllisonChase]

Thank you Leslea 🥰 I look forward to being back!

[@SandraVLewis1]

You were the first person I watched on KZbin, don’t be away too long you will be missed xxx

[@Dr78-wn1zc]

Nooo 😢. I do understand. You will be missed! Love your luxury makeup videos. You are so creative! Please don’t stop with luxury. Miss you and sending hugs.

[@vickiejerane1250]

Oh No…😥😥😥😥😥😥😥……will miss you sooo much! I understand…..you do what you need to do😳. It won’t be the same not seeing you practically every day 😥 We all look forward to your return…. In he mean time…enjoy your sabbatical and I know your comeback with be stellar! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

[@Iamannasin]

Hi Allison! Agree with you 100%. I have a complete burnout myself and taking a break from beauty content in Instagram, as I feel that new collections in the past few years are being.... uninspiring... I have decided to switch my mind to Travel and Food area on KZbin and keeping a break from Insta. I hope you have a good rest, and looking forward to seeing you closer to Christmas! Love from London! xxx

[@mzalinga2994]

Love All your Dior inspirations

[@sylvanag1960]

Wishing you all the best Allison from a fellow Montrealer, I love your content and will miss your videos! Have a great sabbatical bye for now 👋

[@Humama23Boyz]

It is a strength to know when you need to step back for awhile. I hope that you will feel recharged and return refreshed. I will miss seeing you here in KZbin while you are gone, and look forward to your return when you are ready. It’s a brave step that you’re taking, and I admire your courage and self-awareness in knowing you need to do this. I am beginning the 34th year in the classroom. I wish a sabbatical were possible for me. I do plan to retire in a few more years, though. Be well, my fancy friend in Montreal!❤ See you on the other side of this time of renewal.

[@Kiwi_Christine]

You will be missed. But I understand that balance is needed in life. Enjoy your break.

[@AllisonChase]

Thank you 🩷

[@Krmn729]

I wish this to be a great time for you, but I’m going to miss your videos, and I’ll be here when you come back! 🤗🤩💖

[@maa6507]

Well I am bummed for my own selfish reasons. You have become my favorite makeup guru, I always watch although I don't comment that much. Your videos are great and stay true to the luxury beauty arena when others seem to sell out to the mass brands for sponsorships. Your own "brand" has stayed very high level. I will have to get thru this with Angela's videos as she is a very close runner up to you. I'll be back when you return though. In the meantime I wish for you a wonderful, joyful, restful and invigorating sabbatical. You deserve it. Get out there and enjoy all the world has to offer. See you next time! 🥰

[@KismetMullett]

You will be missed! Thank you for letting us all know. You deserve a break. Will miss all your videos.

[@jessabeauty917]

Enjoy the holidays, you, our fancy friend in Montreal. ❤

[@AllisonChase]

I will be thinking of you all 🥰 🩵

[@stephaniepfaff3648]

Funny thing is i just spoke to hubby maybe an hour ago, that for me trying out new things is the fun part,but i said,i can't imagine coming up with new stuff seemingly every day and have not only to be in kind of a hurry,but always keeping this excitement alive...i understand your decision and only hope,you will be back some day soon...you are a part of all makeup lovers lives you know!Love you, dear friend!❤😢

[@missmoz99]

Enjoy your break! Your videos will certainly be missed! I hope you find what you are looking for and I can’t wait to “see” you when you return!

[@lets_terraadventure7816]

We will miss you but go take care of you. Have fun in whatever you do and I hope you find joy, peace and adventure while you are away. We will be here when you get back. ❤

[@kelliremo139]

Miss you Alli! Hope you’re doing well and know we’ll be so happy to see you again when you’re ready to come back! 💗

[@AllisonChase]

Thank you so much Kelli 🩷🩷🩷

[@clr388]

I’m so excited for you to have this break and I completely understand why you’re doing it. That being said you were going to be greatly missed for the next few months. I hope you find all that you’re looking for and more during your break! thank you for all you do! See you on the flipside.

[@Catie-K-ku9vt]

I will miss uou very much Alison. You are the first person I subscribed to on KZbin. Everyone else was doing beiges and contrasting. You were demonstrating blue eyeshadow.! A kindred spirit. As a creative person I have experienced burn out or just plain disinterest. That signals me to put my energies into a new career, new hobby or focus on straightening out the house and garden. Whatever path you choose, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and I wish you well for the future. ❤

[@beautybydez]

Have a wonderful break - we heatt you and look forward to your return ❤

[@divisioneparzero]

I already miss your videos!

[@AllisonChase]

I'll be back soon🩷

[@chiaramorinelli3010]

You are a rare gem Alli! I so appreciate you being so honest, straightforward, and sincere about your thoughts, about what you’re going through and the fact that you need to take a break. I appreciate you letting us know that you will be taking a sabbatical, it would have been disappointing, not to see your videos anymore without knowing the reason why. I will definitely miss you and your videos and your presentations however, I think you need to do you and recharge the batteries. Take care and we will see you soon ♥️🤗

[@Swtshae]

Aw, Allison. Take care of yourself and so glad you are! I have enjoyed watching your channel grow while you physically get smaller and smaller. I am so happy to see how hard work has paid off for you. Glad you're just "pausing" and appreciate this video so I'm not coming up with all sorts of assumptions, lol!! Rest well.

[@verenamartin-dickin9967]

Bless you my Friend, Enjoy your Sabbatical and look after yourself! I am so happy I found you channel. Take care xxx

[@piaelisa6birke16]

Awh Alison ♥️ I will miss you! Thank you for taking your time to letting us know that you are taking a break. Ican totally understand you. Sometimes you have to let go, do something else in order to come back refreshed and inspired. I wish you the most best times. I will watch your videos in the meantime and enjoy my makeup and create looks that are inspired by you. I will miss you 🥰!Have a great time, big hug 😍🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻😍

[@tiffanyjames8163]

❤ So happy for you taking a time out Allison. You are a wonderful woman and an inspiration to us all. You’re definitely our fancy Canadian lady 🍁 Looking forward to seeing you in the new 2025 year when you’re ready 😊

Thank you so much 🩷 I hope you're also doing.

[@subur3570]

Hi Allison, I just came back from Quebec and I was thinking about you. It is good for you taking a break and I can’t wait till I see you in your videos again. Omg, I watched your videos mostly in the mornings while I’m getting ready for work and I thank you for being like a down earth, good honest person. Take care and stay well. See you soon!

[@Tokujacqueline77]

Merci pour tout jusqu'a present et profitez de votre pause, vous le meritez Allison ❤

Merci! J'apprécie beaucoup ton message 🩷

[@Em-zp6ho]

We are here when you are back ❤ I wish you a wonderful, wonderful time! We will miss you of course, but we are looking forward to seeing you back soon ❤❤ ❤

[@debgilbert3206]

I honor and respect your need to take time away. I get your point about, "am I uninspired or are beauty brands uninspiring as of late." I too feel the same. I decided to focus less on makeup and focus more on skincare for the time being. Like me, Im sure the rest of your subscriber will be here for you when you return. Take care Allie! ❤

[@trixischongeist9924]

I'll miss you, Allison! Your channel always inspired me, although the collections sometimes were uninspired and boring. Have a good time and enjoy your hot or ice coffee, I'm watching you from Vienna and tomorrow I'll take a hot coffee in a Kaffeehaus. 🌠💖

[@kaaliina2]

Thank you for announcing this, it shows true respect to your followers, I wish more would follow your lead😊

[@makeupboxfyi]

🥺🥺I’m so sad to hear this, but also happy for you taking a well deserved break. You honestly, are the most consistent luxury content creators I’m subscribed to. You’re also one of my very favorites. The one I was watching way before I started a KZbin channel, and one of the few I will continue to watch once this chapter has closed. Eight years is a long time to be on a platform that requires so much of you. I totally understand why you need this time, but man I’m gonna miss you Alli. Take all the time you need and rest assure we will all be here awaiting your refreshed and renewed return. Blessing upon blessings in this time❤️❤️❤️xoxoxoxo

[@maureenturk8578]

Wow - so happy for you that you are giving yourself a break ! Knowing you’re coming back is what takes the sting out of it. You are so bright, clever, pretty, funny , and adorably spunky. You speak your mind and you are unique! ❤. Love you and have some fun on your sabbatical!

[@nataliebond5157]

Have a good break Allison. We will be still here when you come back 😊

[@deborahbertolino9314]

Allison! 😢I will greatly miss your videos, but I can totally understand you needing to take a break. I think all these new releases are just getting out of control. How can anyone use up all this make up! I imagine it has been quite costly trying to keep up with it because it certainly is for me and I don’t buy all the make up that you do to show on your channel. I think you have such a great personality and I have enjoyed all of your advice and also your humor! I hope you enjoy this time away 😊 sending a virtual hug ❤

[@rosariarusso7437]

Happy sabbatical, I will miss your videos. Enjoy and take a good rest and come back revitalized. I wanted to let you know that I recently retired from my position of 41 years and guess what everyday is a new day and I am always finding stuff to do whether it is laundry or stuff around the house or going out. I am sure you will be fine. Oh yes there is some news on my part hopefully my daughter gave me some news by next year I will be even more busier. Take care and enjoy the rest of the summer plus the fall and the start of our winter months. See you next year.

[@maryservantes7301]

Take a break and regenerate your spirit . We'll miss you. Take care of you !❤ 🎉

[@NancyFoad-js3pe]

Of course we will miss you too! You are always creative and inspiring and i think you are so thoughtful to reach out and let us know where you are in life. Take your time and do whatever your heart desires to recharge and get your creative juices flowing again. You are very wise to recognize the need for a change and all to the betterment and happiness of whatever you chose to do in life. Thats what's most important. Stay safe, well and happy and I look forward to seeing you again soon my fancy Montreal friend! Xo

You have become my favorite and it's because I love seeing the looks your going to do, I love your aesthetic and your creativity/individuality, and just listening to you.

I like ur videos, I like how u bring out items in ur collection that u love & still use on a regular basis that may not necessarily b new releases,but jus part of ur collection bc a lot of us have those items as well & it inspires us 2 get those items out & use & appreciate them without having 2 spend money on every new release,I think that makes ur channel unique & more practical & some of us need that,so thank u 4 helping us appreciate the nice things we already have.:)
