I have been following and watching you guys for the past 5 years, since you moved from CA to TX and I remember watching your vlogs wanting to leave my 9-5 and do my own thing on the side. Since then I started my own business and I am so glad I did! Thank you for being such an inspiration

[@nikkipottz4477]

Love that Hunter, “life is more about mental sanity & happiness “

[@staceykennedy2611]

I loved the pep talk about going after what it is we want, you guys going through your journey and how far you’ve come. The whole time you were talking about doing what you love, I couldn’t help but picture you speaking like this to Smokey when he gets older and coming to you guys for advice, you guys are going to be so great as parents giving advice in a nurturing, positive, and helpful way. You guys are awesome ❤

[@mollylysowski6656]

So proud of u two and so excited for the cabin journey love the pep talk

[@erinjimenez389]

The relationship you both have with each other is what others spend a lifetime searching for. I love you guys so much!

[@charliconradi]

I really appreciate the conversation about navigating social media as a career. I started my KZbin channel last year (Feb 2023) and I have been really discouraged at times. I plan to continue posting consistently on KZbin for 2-4 more years (minimum) and reassess then. I also just started posting on IG! I love y'alls lifestyle and have always dreamed of being in your position! ❤

[@Rinney88]

I’ve been sick for over nine years with my stomach, my partner and I moved to Texas in 2017 for a fresh start with our children. Since I started watching you my partner has started a Marketing Agency and it is my dream to learn and add social media management and maybe start my own when/if my health gets better! Thank you for always inspiring us and sharing the stories you shared today ❤. You were such comfort to me on my worst days when I felt hopeless and not myself, you truly helped me turn that around, just by inspiring!

[@TheBrandMuze]

You can absolutely do it...hope this helps, social media management is amazing. I've done it professionally and as an entrepreneur and built a small team. Worked with clients around the globe, several celebrities. Start out with a client and build from there. You got it! Stay encouraged.

[@Christieinthejourney]

Ive been such a OG fan from the beginning you two, really you 4 🥰, but your relationship is such an inspiration! Truly! I'm 50, never been married and want to, just haven't met that one obviously, but you have such a connection that I can only pray I have one day. I think its so rare, and takes work I'm sure, but you make it look effortless. You are both so selfless, its admirable. Love you guys. love your family. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.❤

[@candytuft4254]

I just have to say, I always enjoy the music choices Hunter makes for the video. This Mimi loves watching you three grow! Love you guys!

[@mirjanakominovski9011]

Hearing your career path chat made me go watch your Texas house tour and its crazy to see your growth and how different you guys seem (in a good way just grown up and more knowledgeable on everything you guys love) but kudos to you guys. Your texas house is my current dream. ♥️

[@96missalaska]

I love you guys ❤ I’m 28 and I feel like I don’t have as many people to look up to anymore and I feel like I can gain inspiration and motivation from you guys. I love hearing your reminiscent stories and hearing how you got to where you are now. I find it inspiring and reminding myself that I’m not where I’m going to end up right now. ❤️

[@angier2382]

I’ve been watching for a few years now and love all your videos but I feel this video tops them all. I so appreciate you guys being real about your journey and how you guys got to where you are now!!

[@britanicruz]

Thank you so much for encouraging us about content creation- I have always LOVED watching you guys! I needed the encouragement to keep going. I am in the working full time and creating on the side phase.

[@HasminRose]

You two have such a beautiful relationship together ❤

[@xomarinanicole]

I’ve been following your journey since TX love seeing your guys evolve and the raw-ness you guys allow us to see I hope that you always are able to stay open with us + loveeeee seeing Smokey he’s soooo cute

[@nicole4704]

Love that you guys shared your journey and inspo on pursuing your passions. I’ve danced around the idea of creating a blog/vlog for a while now, and this was the sign I needed to go for it. Really great insight and advice into the commitment of creating your own content. Side note your Caesar salad recipe is my fav!

[@RyaneSullivan96]

would absolutely love to see a video from you guys about how you would start a social media account and all of your favorite tips and tricks that you are able to share. you content is everything that i consume but also live and you two inspire me so much.

[@micheleseda132]

The whistling back and forth was too funny😂 love you guys and it’s so inspiring to see how far you’ve come! It definitely motivates me to start social media and just do it!!

[@glamlife8059]

Hey Julia and Hunter! I’m here to thank you for the content. I found you a while back when I was searching for how to apply self tanner 🤣 then KZbin fed me more videos and I watched some of them because I love home decor. Anyway, my 10 year old daughter kinda joined me while I was watching your vlog week while I cook because she loves the baby. I don’t really let her watch tv because everything is trash these days. But I felt ok for her to watch you guys and your cute family and just do life and talk about how to succeed and other life things. My daughter and I get to discuss some of it and there you go! You are way more educational and safe than any Netflix and tv show. Keep up the good work you are all amazing! I’m 42 and I learn from you ❤

[@soniamoreira5003]

These chats are the key to my happiness. You bring such positivity and it helps. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channels. I personally can watch you both all day and re-watch with no issues.

[@ellerysmith9271]

The people on the streets just passing by out your window while you two chat was so cute 🥹

[@MandysLife]

your chat about KZbin and everything going into it has helped me so much to just keep going ❤️ love your vlogs so much 🤍

[@delaneyhalpin]

Dare I say one of my fav vlogs so far this year!

[@savannahderritt]

The Texas house is when I started following yall when you first moved in! I’ve enjoyed every minute of yalls journey and it’s so fun to hear about your dreams coming true from all yalls hard work!!

[@SarahPopolo]

you guys are the reason i started my YT channel back in 2020!!! loved your style of vlogs and such a huge inspiration of how raw and real you guys are! i always try to show my authentic self on my vlogs!! my channel is slowly growing but love the small community I have created! I would love for you guys to talk more about how to get a management company/when the right time would be to start looking.. or even where we can reach out for your management.. my channel is still small but have worked with a decent amount of companies and would love to try to make this a full time career at some point! :)

[@JuliaHunterHavens]

definitely keep going & dont give up. It took me around 3 years to hit 5k and you're already there! We'd say to not even consider management until you're around 30k. At that point management can really help you. when that time comes definitely email us and we'll set up a call! ❤️

[@skymartens111]

LOVE hearing about your journey, it's so inspiring! I'm currently 24 and have always had a passion for YT as well, so I started a vlog channel last year and have been pursuing it ever since!! You two are some of my fav people to follow, always loving your authentic content🥰

[@jillybean925]

The whistling was adorable lol. So inspired by you always. Thank you for sharing all that you do. So much love for “strangers” doing life elsewhere. Bizarre and beautiful!

[@taragraham7549]

I love you guys so much!❤ your realness and transparency is unmatched….keep inspiring us! It is greatly appreciated 😊

[@victoriachristiansen5013]

Loved this video and hearing more about yalls life journey!!! Truly my favs and such inspirations ❤

[@toripetrone6534]

Love you guys so much!! I needed that deep talk and motivation ❤

[@emihall6573]

I loveeeeed hearing these chats :) I’ve been a follower for a long time and we’ve heard these stories before but it never gets old hearing them again :) like proud besties

[@breanneodell7149]

Hi Hunter and Julia! I currently work in Influencer Marketing and live in Nashville! It is DEFINITELY not as glamorous and appreciate you all explaining the process. If you all are ever hiring or looking to expand your management team, IM YOUR GIRL!! Love yall!

[@jacquelynts90]

Ugh I just love you guys so much, your relationship and the life you live is so inspiring 🙌🏼♥️ your videos bring me so much joy and peace, appreciate y’all!

[@dianeA1320]

I see you guys having your own furniture and accessories line next!

[@nieciescott2868]

Me too! I’ve always said God is going to bless them with a major show. Although this channel is major too!

[@pamela3213]

Yes!! The Sky is the Limit with the Havens ❤️

[@annlatham]

Their last name is perfect for it too 👍🏼

[@JenLauren]

[@LetiBeecroft]

Been here since 2019!! Love your guys channel so much it’s definitely my me time to just watch and unwind after a long day ❤❤❤

[@jaytelfer7035]

Omg, the moment in this blog when u realize u haven’t acknowledged Hunter yet and kiss him and say good morning. SOOOO CAYUTEEEEE

[@PamelaFox-yl9lp]

I've been watching you guys since Texas. I adore your family Smokie Booker and your vlogs!!!

[@tanarae9556]

Omg, I remember one of the first video I’ve ever watched and I remember that little place you lived in, in LA. You had that Sitting Bull picture hanging up and Julia you went on one of your first influencer trip/event then I watched you move to Texas and all the other moves lol. It’s been that long. I really love your content ❤️👍🏽

[@jenniferrllawrence]

You two are literally my favorite KZbinrs. So cozy

[@foodandfoilsm8176]

Omg I didn’t realize when I started watching you back in the day you guys had really just started your youtube!! Love you guys and being able to grow with you guys! ❤

[@alexisnrod_]

I would love a havens home decor line 😭 you guys would kill it!! Love vlog week thank you for y’all’s effort and time ❤️ really enjoying them as me and my 8 month old fight off this upper respiratory infection 🥲 being a SAHM with a sick baby while your sick is so hard I’m glad Smokey is feeling better 🫶🏼

[@TatumBair]

Loved hearing about the beginning of y’all’s journey!!! I just started my own bakery out of my apartment last year and listening to you guys is so inspirational ❤❤ been a fan since the Texas days 😊

[@MaiandVinny]

You guys are SO real and that’s why I’ve been an avid watcher for years! A true inspiration 🫶🏼💕

[@dianeg7301]

What a team!. So dedicated with a strong work ethic. Such loving and caring parents to Smoke ! Continued success May all your dream come to life. May God show you his grace and bless you . Keep going and make all your dreams happen with your dedication! Keep going. What a power couple! A fine example to the young generation. Be proud on how far you have come and what still lies ahead in your future through your hard works God bless you both and your precious son!

[@bustingyewls154]

Yeah that commute when you have a 9 to 5 job and aren’t getting home until 6 or 7 is the reason people stop working out. Glad I found you guys last year through your Paris vlogs ! The Texas vlogs still pop up a lot on my home page lol you guys came a long way. I’m over my 9 to 5 and not really passionate about it and am tired all the time. I need to start a KZbin channel this year and at least try

[@pamela3213]

This brought sweet happy tears of memories of your journey. Feel like the Proud older sister reminiscing - I remember you both still had ties to SF when y'all first moved to Dallas. The traveling Julia had w/Sephora from Coast to Coast & even a trip or two to Europe. Hunter flying out to SF-like 2 ships passing in the night. From the beginning your strong work ethic, passion & dedication to a fault individually & jointly. The Holidays were Always a Fun & Crazy time-& then the tall Christmas tree would come out, the silliest lil arguments were so real & often funny! You both have been consistently true to yourselves ✨ I couldn't be Happier to see y'all now as loving & caring Parents to Smoke! Glad to see you truly have found a Happy Life Balance with so many Blessings while growing, evolving with Faith together as a Family!! Lysm 🤗

[@JuliaHunterHavens]

This is so sweet! Thank you so much Pamela 🫶🫶❤️❤️

[@itsadrienneleigh]

[@kerrymontgomery1800]

I’m a long time subscriber and this is one of my fave videos. I legit felt like I was sitting at the counter with you both lol.❤❤❤

[@kerrymontgomery1800]

I’m also going to buy that granola first thing tomorrow at Whole Foods😂

[@KafiaWaves397]

You guys are amazing, keep on keeping it real!

[@brookesutcliffe9402]

Congrats on all your success, it’s so well deserved!!! You guys are the best.

[@Tkeough84]

Thank you both for always being so honest, positive, and motivating to all of us who follow you both🫶🏼

[@hrh7886]

Thank you for sharing your story. You guys are good at what you do. What a journey. All the success u have u deserve! And u are both very humble. I love your content, it's not pretentious and it's still entertaining. Well done!! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤🎉

[@MauriceK-fr9wh]

I still really liked your Texas home, especially with the updates that y’all did!!

[@puneets9489]

Thank you for the uplifting yet realistic encouragement! ❤ also who/which pod were you talking about at the end re: seeking your own validation? ☺️

[@BeingCorsha]

Such good advice! Needed it! Thank you!

[@marinayaromich6779]

really needed to hear this message, thanks for sharing. Love you guys, and I’m glad you guys started this journey years and years ago. ❤️

[@kristennyoung]

Loved this vlog - so proud of how far y’all have come! I remember when y’all moved to Dallas- you’re moving vlog to Dallas was I started watching! That bathroom reno was amazingggg 😮‍💨

[@sunnibethimhoff]

Omggggg the Desi, Lusterlux & Jaclyn days of KZbin! Those were the days lol my husband and I would love to start documenting everything…we just need to do it!

[@shamrocks75]

I found y’all’s channel right after yall had moved into the Texas house and immediately went and binge watched from your very first post to the current time and then have followed and watched every video thats been posted…after watching this video it made me want to go back and look at the beginning of your channel and i saw your wedding video and rewatched it…i have to say hunter you should think about cutting your hair again you definitely have the face and swagger to pull off that short haircut its just so fresh and clean…

[@kristindeltoro1948]

I love hearing about your story and progression.. also watching y’all grow of course! I’ve been a sub for a while - y’all are my favorite “strangers” 😂

[@gracieleon76]

I love this !!! Thanks for the pep talk

[@melindavictorson7973]

Thank you for being so transparent. This is what makes me feel like you are real, like friends, like family. There is no one I would rather support than all these aforementioned.

[@JulieChang01]

Always love your music choices! How do you find these types of songs! ❤

[@dianamartinez8861]

I’ve been watching you guys since you lived in Texas and I remember I was obsessed with the dining room table and bench. I think it was an antique and used for something else when Hunter found it . Anyways love you guys

[@iheartlux0787]

Tell me why Julia makes her food look so delicious when she's eating, especially salad! I really enjoy watching you guys.💜

[@nadias9689]

It's crazy to think how hard it is to have a family and make under 100k and then to think about teachers making around 35k

[@maryc1923]

Special Ed Teacher here 🙃 it sucks and my boyfriend doesn’t make much either so it makes me want to reconsider

[@jenniferrodriguez3828]

Truly sad.

[@josiekernen7830]

Special education teacher here- could not relate more.

[@chrisses99]

I'm taking this as a sign... It's been heavy on my heart and mind that I want to create content because it would push me out of my comfort zone, and I get to share the things I love and am passionate about😌

[@LurdelizBatista]

You guys are so inspirational and it’s so true it’s really just ignoring the fear and going after what you want!!❤

[@luisjana00]

Your relationship is inspiring, your the best of friends🥰

[@rwhite3119]

Hey, thanks for the encouragement guys! I have 2 passions and thought I was too old to do either… But, perhaps I’m not! 🥰

[@thrilloftheluxe4542]

Aww not me feeling inspired at 36yrs old to give content creating a go 🥹 I remember watching Julia's hair videos she would record on her floor in the place you guys were describing. So cool seeing how far y'all have come!

[@amandasilzer6100]

You guys are so cute. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.

[@shaamanshaa]

✨Gosh yall literally speak to my soul✨ This was so helpful and inspirational and so relatable. I remember those 2016 days and my husband and I had just got married then too lol and I’ve been wanting to start a channel so bad and I’m really ready to just take the jump and start doing it and stop being scared and just start making content! Btw my best friends name is Carlee too and we’re from TN lol it’s literally crazy how relatable you guys are and thank yall for being so transparent and being the best✨

[@annlatham]

When she mentioned the Jaclyn Hill & Carli days omg yesss! OG’s. Tik Tok is fun for me when i see OOTD inspo or Smokes ! He always brings a huge smile 😃 Oh and recipes 😋 I just have to say y’all are doing an amazing job with finding balance and it could not happen if you didn’t have each other 🥰

[@Sydneyparker10]

You guys inspire me everyday I’m so thankful for you guys!!!

[@TaylorParnell]

WHO ELSE LOVES HAVENS VLOG WEEK ❤❤❤❤❤❤ YOU INSPIRED ME TO START VLOGGING ❤❤❤❤

[@Suej1212]

This was so inspiring and motivating. content. Please continue to share more of the process and recommendations.💕

[@AnneRas11]

I love your videos. I can definitely see how much work you both have to do to make these videos happen. Not to mention make content that makes people want to hit that subscribe button. I am too old for the fashion content but love your choices for interior design. I love renovation videos but your chill & travel videos are great too.

[@gail1447]

I miss the Texas days! I’ve been watching since 2019 and you really inspired me to get more in touch with my already-there love for interior design and I began freelancing. I also started like more high energy workouts because I thought F45 was cool but there were none near me. But, I found for a lot of women’s bodies, things like Pilates or low impact workouts are actually better for you. Julia, I really think you may benefit more mentally from low impact than high but as always do what you want with your life 🫶🏻 I also became vegetarian last year and watching you guys eat liver is so crazy hahahha

[@aileenhenry7801]

Love to hear about all the ins & outs of what it takes to do this full time! Crazy how it’s been 5 years since I first started watching you guys - time flies. Your videos help me get through 12 3 30 😂 Love vlog week ❤

[@aritendol3479]

I really love how they ended the video. ❤

[@deborah5578]

I loved your Texas videos the best. I loved the decor and down the earth videos.

[@HoaNguyen-yl3ew]

I remember the sf vlog days and how I wanted to live in SF and still do :)

[@brynpurvis]

you guys!! this was so inspiring. i’ve been itching to get into content creation for months now and this video LITERALLY gave me the push i needed! i’m sure you’ve answered this question before, but what vlog camera do you guys use?? any help would be so appreciated. thank you both for being such bright lights! xx

[@JuliaHunterHavens]

G7x mark ii

[@jamierenae3833]

I actually found you guys on TikTok, with Hunter’s OOTD!

[@LynnNessa]

My first apartment was a garage converted apartment space too in Bethpage, NY. I loved my little studio.

[@karlysalad5280]

Loved this chat!!!!! ❤

[@victoriabuksa3687]

Just love you guys!

[@kait9445]

The music in your vlogs lately 🔥👌🏼👌🏼

[@jasminjunio]

wow your guys talk was AMAZING.....thank you

[@elisehoffmann8933]

No she didn’t say a 60k salary wasn’t much 😢😢😢

[@wynstonarcher3963]

All perspective :)

[@twingzable]

It’s really not, with cost of living and depending on where you live, I live in southern Cali and that’s definitely not enough.

[@bustingyewls154]

In Cali it’s not a lot lol

[@gabrielle_mmichaud]

i WISH i made 60k a year lmfao

[@bustingyewls154]

@@gabrielle_mmichaud you can easily in california lol but cost of living is way higher here so 60k is really nothing here

[@aubz1430]

I have been watching y’all for about 6 years now and have enjoyed seeing your progression through life! Could yall elaborate (or anyone in the comments) how you approached your jobs in CA to request to work remotely and move to TX? My husband and I live in MD but want to relocated to TN. He has a fully remote job, but I have an in office corporate job. We are not sure how we begin the process moving to TN when we don’t know if my job will allow me to stay. Our dream of moving to TN won’t be possible if I have an income, don’t is important we time it just right. Any feedback from anyone would be greatly appreciated! Also, really loved this vlog! These chatty behind the scenes are my favorite by far! Excited for more to come ✨

[@honeysweetstuff67]

Thank you, I needed this

[@azkabanfamily]

Glad to hear your story.

[@izlarkins]

So glad I clicked on this video tonight 🫶🏼 y’all have inspired me for years and I just appreciate you being so transparent about your journey with KZbin, money, spiritual growth, etc. Thanks for this one guys!!!💕

[@monicameehan4473]

You have come a long way Baby !!

[@nieciescott2868]

Hey Boo’s! I needed this so much. As we speak Im in the middle of changing so much about my life. There will be so much newness and major change as I take a leap. God always send confirmation when you may be a little unsure. This is like the third confirmation in a week. ❤I’ve been watching you guys for years and so proud of you being so fearless.
