    So what you’re saying is, growth can be slow but steady. Okay, I’m hanging in there with my senior channel (senior as in I’m 70) . Growth is slow but growing. CounselorSue - The Variety Show.

    My someday is oh...about 10 years. Yes, a decade. I felt too old at 37 back then and ancient now at 47. My terrible anxiety disorder, depression, chronic pain, (health issues) low self-esteem and more have held me back, unfortunately. I just found you this morning and I'm happy for you!

    Now actual ads selling make up is annoying because of this trend. Especially when it looks like its just repetition after the make up is flawless. At least she isn’t faking it. She started and finished. No pretending that she is still putting on make up.

    Thanks for posting this. It was actually nice to have something to look at that showed reasonable, yet exponential growth. For instance, at the end of your first two years you had done something like 78 videos total and had 270ish followers. That shows me I’m not on a bad track for longterm, sustainable growth!! Thanks for the transparency!! This is why, even as an older UA-camr, I love your channel!!

    I bought the dji osmo pocket 3 and it’s perfect when I vlog because it’s so tiny you don’t have a big camera that can bring lots of attention. Even smaller than a phone. I use to vlog with my phone but now I feel even more comfortable with this (even if it doesn’t remove all social anxiety)
