Your story about moving to Hawaii is so inspirational!

Mad respect for you. It's so good to hear success stories like this! I wish you the best in the future and I am for sure your forever fan!

lol I know right! My friends all started families but I always knew that wasn't the path for me. There are other missions in life for us. :)

I really just eat what I like, no training or dieting involved, I don't count calories or carbs or weigh myself on scales. I just naturally love fresh wholesome foods from the earth. I like to eat what makes me feel good. I never feel good after eating packaged processed stuff or junk food lol. Also having a regular workout regimen helps, it inspires you to eat healthy and in turn, eating healthy inspires you to workout. :)

Thanks for being so honest and straight forward. Love your videos. Keep up the good work! All the best to you and Michael.

Hi Christine. Your courage and determination amaze me. I'm so in awe of you and everything you have accomplished. You're very inspiring and give great advice. Thank you for sharing, and also for your videos.

I love watching you do these types of videos, where you talk about your life and the way you see things. Never stop making videos Christine! xo

Cool! Yeah I'm not gonna lie, it was hella scary moving so far away from my home town alone BUT at the same time getting out of my comfort zone was the best thing I ever did. Every time you challenge yourself, you build a stronger more solid level of self confidence and independence.

Seriously, Christine you're such a down to earth, yet knows & loves her beliefs lady! I just love those things about you & your channel ! We have a lot in common ..no kids here either haha! Love your channel, keep being you!!

Your determination, ambition & motivation is inspiring! You should be so proud of how far you've come.

Thank you for sharing your story with us! Your ability to be so poised and genuine really says a lot about who you are as a person and how far you've come; even when your life could have gone a different direction. Thanks again Christine! Loving your videos!...And you look gorgeous as always! =)

Oh yeah of course! I never cut ties with anyone, just the town itself I was over.

You are the epitome of "follow your heart and it will come" That if you follow your heart and make good choices, everything in life will line up perfectly for you. My mother past away from a mental illness, and therefore I had no one. I always knew I just wanted to go and just find my way, but I didn't I listened to other people and made bad choices instead. So now I have this huge regret, I will always regret not following my heart.

Thanks for the video, Christine! Very inspiring and gave me a lot to think about. Thanks again for sharing with us and hope you have a great day. Take care, Sharon

@StylishOnline I did all of the SEO work myself. Never paid a dime for advertising or SEO work and I was always at the top of the search results. Companies will always try to get you to hire them to do search engine optimization work on your site, they charge outrageous fees. SEO is easily done on your own. No paid advertising necessary. xoxo

You're definitely the most inspiring "makeup" girl I've watched on here. You didn't have an easy childhood or have everything handed to you, but rather you worked hard to achieve your own success. Really gotta admire you for that. :)

you are an amazing woman! i didn't know anything about your background until watching this video and you just amaze me. love hearing about your past and how you made it all work on your own in Hawaii at such a young age. very brave!!

That was a great answer to telling where you buy your supplies! I can't believe someone would ask even that! Good for you, you have done well for yourself!!

Great video. Appriciate your honesty on your business, life, kids etc.

What a great video. Im so sorry that your life didnt have such a great start but pat yourself on the back, because of your determination and hard work you have surely turned your life around. Thanks Christine for sharing this part of your life...happiness always!

Thank you for your story, I always enjoy learning more about the ladies I follow and you're a joy to listen to and watch. Also, I watched some of your earlier eye tuts and learned how to do your amazing eye crease makeup, thanks so much, did it today and I love the look :)

Great getting to know you better :) Thank you for sharing this with us. So many great advices and information. This was just simply a great video, once again :) You have such an amazing story and I feel privileged to hear about it. Thank you so much :) Love the makeup by the way. Hope you are having a great day!

I now can see why you are so succesful!! Great video, thank you for opening up to all of us. BTW I love your new makeup, that foundation is perfect for you. You look beautiful!!

Thanks for letting us get to know you. Great story and great tips about starting a business.

Great video. I always love getting a slice of the gurus lives.

I always got the same reaction when I told people I didn't want to have kids. "You'll change your mind once you get older." Umm....nope. 42 now and neither my husband or I want kids. We are happy enough with our kitty. Great vid and very interesting!

aww your story really moved me, so happy it all worked out for you, your a very good business women, i was more than impressed with your shop/customer service, will be ordering again soon, i've even hinted to the boyfriend what items i want for christmas!

You are a very strong, level headed woman! Great advice for entrepreneurs.

Love you eye makeup! Wow! You are an inspiration!

I just want to say that I love your videos! I have been a long time subscriber and can honestly say you are someone that I never skip out on watching a new video from. You are not only smart but beautiful and I really admire you as a role model. I have been going to Maui every year with my family and your videos always get me so excited to go!

Thank you for sharing. For the first time, I listened intently, for you spoke about what's close to my heart- Going out to do what you are passionate about. I'm a new subbie and will look forward to sharing with you my experiences one day.

Thank you for sharing all of this Christine. You are an inspiration to me(:

What a great story! I never would have known if I didn't find this video! Really made me like you and your videos that much more :) And I love that you can admit with no shame that you don't want kids. It takes a strong person to do that!

Thanks for sharing...great advice!

Your very motivating, and seem very dedicated. You really inspire me!!

Very interesting. You are definitely a survivor. I love your story.

I usually get bored during these videos but loved yours. What a fighter you are. I really admire your drive to be sure you had a better life. I loved getting to know you better. Im not sure what island my aunt lived on but she was living in Hawaii working at a bar trying to survive while there. She said there is something so magical in the air there it makes you never want leave. I hope to visit the islands some day. Maybe for our honeymoon that we never had when he comes home from deployment.

I totally feel you on the kids part, I'm 30 and me and my husband also do not want to have kids. People look at you like there's something wrong with u, but it's just not for everyone. Good luck with everything, I love watching your videos it's not

What an amazing story!! Thank you for sharing with us :)

Thank you! I'll see what I can find. xoxo

You are a survivor Christine, great video - very inspiring :) I can't wait to get your necklace

This video was so inspiring and my respect for you grew even more! What an amazing story about how you ended up in Hawaii - I wish I had the courage and independence to move to a completely new place and make my dreams come true!

KUDOS to you for being straight forward and honest about your desire to live a child free life. Whenever hubby and I are asked 'Do you have kids?' we say NO... we have CATS. Life is not 'less' without children, just different. Others don't always understand but that's ok - it's not my job to explain. ;)

Great advice!

Great information and advice. Love watching your vids. Hugs xxx Eva

Great advice on starting a business ! Got it ! Thanks !

Thanks for the tip! I'm planning to try another brand remover next, did you find a new remover that you like?

you have such an amazing, inspiring story!

We pretty much have the same camcorder, I have the HDC-TM60 with built-in memory. I was a small business tax auditor for years and it's wonderful that your successful with your business. It's a seriously tough business and I came across people who overspent and lived in credit all the time because of lack of cash flow. I'm 32 and still unsure about having kids. :D

You're so open! I had no idea you flew to Hawaii on your own so young, strong woman!

Thank you for your videos you are truly an amazing person I love watching your videos! Your are so inspiring I wish there was more people like you in the world! Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge😘💜🌸🍥💓🌺

Love this type of video. Your answers make me admire you so much move, you are a true inspiration. I

Aw you seem such a lovely person, thanks so much for doing your videos, ive only recently found you and ive subscribed already....please dont listen to any nasty comments - your a genuinely sincere person, and just sooo watchable, your shopping days are just so funny as im the same with my hubby...thanks again, xxxxx

love how your eyes sparkle when you talk about michael

Hi Christine! Thanks for sharing! What eyeshadow do you have on? It's gorgeous!!! Also, I love the cupcake on your night stand! xoxo

you are the nicest sweetest person

your jewelry is beautiful!

Enjoyed this hun. : )

@alexisfluegge Hmm, that's really unusual. Do know for sure if your piggie is actually drinking the water or is the bottle dripping onto the floor of the cage? Bottles tend to drip a lot. For my two pigs, I clean their cage once a week and I use a bowl for their water and change it everyday sometimes twice a day.

@makeupbynight lol, yes I know. I should have worded that better. He doesn't eat animals or they're eggs. ;)

@rockybarragan Yep, I hear ya... Too funny! Yeah we're happy with just having pets for sure! xoxo

Do you highlight your own hair? If so what and how do you do it? I used to get it done but so pricey. I want to save money. I love your channel

Thanks for sharing!! You have an amazing story =)

Great video! Great story! I bet nobody expected it, I know I didn't. I agree the jewelry business is very competitive and you do need to be different. That is what has set us apart so far. It is very hard, people always think its a cake walk. They have no idea. We get the same question. It just seems so bold to me that people will ask for specifics of where you get supplies and how you make things. I have made people very mad not answering but you have to do that. Peg~

The way you carry yourself I would have thought you grew up rich or married rich, not that there is anything wrong with that, i love your videos and would never judge. I am a 26 year old single mom and my dad, who is all the family I have, is terminally ill with cancer. I keep thinking about what I want to do with my life and have often thought about just getting up and going somewhere like hawii You are truly an inspiration. I want to thank you for sharing your story.

I like your thoughts on and ideas about food. I'd LOVE to see a DITL video of what you've eaten for the day. Anna Saccone does that sometimes too! I ask because I'd really like to transition to a more plant/fruit based diet but I have a brain freeze when it comes to what to eat for all 3 meals and snacks. I feel like I would miss meat but i don't know that for sure. I'd LOVE to see your suggestions/tips. I think seeing what healthy foods/meals people eat is very inspiring. :)

I love watching your videos.... I'm so glad things are going well for and Michael....xoxo Misti

Passion & networking - agreed! How did you advertise your website?

what an inspiration....WOW!! so awesome!

You epitomise my philosophy in life ie 'never judge a book by it's cove'r. You always look so elegant and sopisticated anyone would think you'd come from a privileged background and never had a care. You're a brave girl, Christine, and I admire and congratulate you for achieveing all you have. Looking forward to more videos.

Your amazing!!! xo

@aureliabelle10 Oh really!? Eek! Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check it out!! xoxo Christine

That was so interesting, I would love to see what sort of foods you eat in your day in the iLife videos :)

i have always wanted to make my own jewelry, but i am not really sure how to start out. i don't want to know where you get your exact supplies from, but do you know of any other places, or something i can search online or anything? thanks for any help!

Using a sock or felt helps get glitter nail polish off very easily.

Thanks for sharing

I love how you can pull off a black smokey eye!!

i love your hoodie

I admire you!!!

Great advice with the three white powders, I really need to invest in trying to do that. I have lost 70 pounds but I have extra weight, I get that's what is holding me back. I love this FAQ video, thanks for taking time to do it. xo KATY

i like were u put your new cupcake jar? what did you end up putting on it? just curious.. thanks...

Oh and I love pinksofoxy and her videos.

Thank you for doing this video... I genuinely enjoyed learning about you... You are such a beautiful person inside and out:) My husband and I decided long ago we don't want children either... But... He has a child from a previous relationship... I guess I should have thought about that one before we got married!! Oh well... Love the dark smokey eye by the way!!! xo

@BunBunniful Thank you, it's Lucky Brand, got it at Macy's :)

I've gotten quotes for orthodontics work here, cheapest quote was $10,000.00 I declined. So I'm hoping to have dentistry work done in Thailand instead, I feel that they overcharge in Hawaii.

Crazy request, but...can you do a tour of your kitchen and fridge? :) It was interesting to hear about your diet and food preferences :)

Thanks for sharing, Your eyes are gorgeous xoxo

What an inspiring story! My dream is to live in hawaii, but I'm not american, not so easy. I'm a new subscriber, loving your videos. I do have a question , where did you get those beautiful pillows!?! :)

Just great...xxx

I hope this doesn't come out creepy. Usually things do when they start with that sentence. BUT there is just something ABOUT you that is so interesting to people (and me of course)! When you're talking theres just something *can't put my finger on it* loveable I guess! I can really see how your husband fell in love with you and STAYS in love with you. IDK I hope you know what I mean! You know I love you & your vids! xx

Have you always had a healthy diet & stayed away from carbs or did you have to train yourself to get used to that sort of diet?

where did you get your sweatshirt?

@navygirlist Thanks beautiful!! xoxo Christine

Hi! Can you please recommend a good website for building your own website for beginners?

wow Christine...what you've said just opened up a new perspective on life for me...you carry a truly inspirational story of your life! And did i say, how extra pretty you look today!! by the way.. one more mini question... what zodiac sign are you? :) Love ur videos!

BTW, your life story is really incredible.

You are wise beyond your years. Cliche, but you really "got it" quick. Hugs, Susan

your makeup looks beautiful today :) got a random question about your babies. how often are you having to change your guinea pigs cage? my daughters guinea goes through an entire water bottle per day and i am changing the chippings twice per week. this seems like a crazy amount! do yours drink that much water/day? she is not drinking due to heat either, here in san diego we are now in the 70's and she drinks just as much. im going crazy trying to keep up with keeping her clean :)

@xoxSUNSHiiNE23 I hear ya, trust me it took awhile to build up my business enough to support us both. He used to be a general contractor, he didn't like being in that line of work anymore. I made it my goal to rescue him from it. ;)

You look gorgeous in his vid....and I am so jealous I am in jumpers and you are in tank tops! LOL :-) x
