Hey y’all ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 If you are reading this, thank you! This is the first of a couple videos that I’ll post this month before we are gone. 🥰 Just want to encourage to watch the full video before making any assumptions! I really go into depth and the Lord has brought me through so much to even share this with y’all. So grateful for you guys as you’ve always been family to me growing up. 🥹

i’m gonna miss you so incredibly much chelsea. “BeautyLiciousInsider” was my whole childhood and you helped me in so many ways. i love you so much and i hope your new chapter in life outside of youtube is so so amazing. ❤️ thank you for the 12 years of your creativity and happiness you have shown me and so many others. ❤️

[nateandsutton]

Beautifully said. That dream gave me goosebumps. So cool how God doesn’t NEED people for His work, but chooses to let us in on it and speak through others. I know the community you’ve built will miss you so much! 💛

[shamelessmaya]

I completely understand and it is that deep since you’ve been online for your teens into young adult! Life is beautiful and God is taking you where you need to go. We’ll see you elsewhere and root for you on the sidelines

[t.d.d]

Wow Chels!! Saw the title and came right away! Watched the entire video and all I kept thinking was that this made sense and that I believe it’s the right decision! I’ve seen so many of my favorite YouTubers from back in the day come to the same conclusion as you and the ones that really mean it…..you can tell that their hearts weren’t in it anymore, which is just a part of life. YouTube isn’t life, no matter how much it consumes everyone! Love you and Nick, wishing you guys the absolute best. God is always in charge and He is a God that has plans for us to prosper and to have a hope and definite future!

[JennaReichard]

so proud of you for being obedient to what the Lord is calling you into! i am so honored to walk through these seasons with you sister. i love you so much! 🤎🥹

Chelsea, I will miss you! although I haven’t regularly watched in years, you were definitely a huge part of growing up for me too! We are the same age and I probably started watching you around age 14/15, it’s so crazy to think how fast time went by. You were always my favorite because you were genuine & god focused! Take care of yourself and love your life, that’s what matters most! ❤

[Karissaparker]

My heart sank when I read the title of this video. I've looked up to you for many years and your channel helped me grow closer to Christ in so many ways. I just thank you for sharing your life and talking about so many important topics over the years. Although your videos will be truly missed, I completely understand and respect your decision to leave the Youtube platform. May God bless you and lead in your beautiful family into so many great and new things!!

[izzylileas]

LONG time viewer, first time commenter. Thank you for sharing your journey of life with us throughout these years. I always felt connected to you being the same age and related to you in every season of life since middle school and then entering into marriage around the same time.🙈 I am so excited for you to enter into this season Jesus has been preparing you for all these years!!!💕 I can see the peace and excitement through your voice alone. So excited for you, friend!!!

[ryleeoswald]

We love you so much and are so proud of you!!! Do what you need to, we are loving you and supporting you always ❤️

[JenniferTorres]

I will admit, it is very sad to see you go. I grew up watching you and being the same age, it was as if I had a friend guiding me through adolescence. I have loved watching you grow over the years, especially in your faith. I also grew closer to Jesus after high school and found my faith stronger now, than it ever has been. I am a momma to 4 kiddos and I have been trying the Youtuber life for the last few years and it has been a slow growing process. I have found myself questioning if it is what I am called to do and to see you leaning on God to show you your path really impacts me to do the same. You have been a great influence in my life for years and I am so proud of the things you've done and will go on to do. Thank you, truly, for being a friend from a distance. All the blessings for you and your beautiful family. Thanks for the ride.

This video made me sad I won’t lie about that. You’ve done so much for me Chelsea! I met you at one of those beauty events at least 6 years ago. Can’t even remember what it was called. But I’m 23 now (and newly married) and it’s been so great to watch you grow in life. It has felt like I can watch you as an inspiration because you walk into stages of life right before I do. Thank you for being you and being such a genuine person. I love the things you prioritize in your life and I strive to be the same. I love that you care to benefit your viewers instead of following the trends of surface level videos simply for entertainment. You deserve so much happiness. Your inspiring for following what the lord has put on your heart. It’s not always easy to stray away from the popular thing in our society such as social media but you’re doing it! You’re making me reevaluate how present I am being and how much time I spend on social media. I can’t imagine being on social media for this many years. Wishing you and your little family all the best! Go grow girl, Gods got you!
Will your videos be here still for us to watch back?

[StefanieandCaleb]

You’re the most amazing person, most amazing mom, wife. The best friend I could ever ask for. I’m so proud of you!!! You are a world changer & God has so much amazing things he’s going to keep doing through you!!

[MyColdCoffee]

Thank you for all these years, growing together will continue to be amazing beyond youtube. I wish you the very best, to you and your family. See you soon :)

[MakenzieJoInspo]

Sad to see you go, but I’m so happy you’re following what the Lord is calling you to do. I’m thankful I’ve been following your journey for the last couple of years. You’ve been an inspiration to us all. God bless you on your new journey❤

[alyderrick]

Although I’m really sad about this because I’ve been watching you since I was so young, I feel like you’re my older sister, and im so encouraged by your obedience! Im so excited you are following what God has for you!

[tonyagaines]

I started watching you all several years ago because I found Your and Nicks testimonies about believing in Jesus and how you came to know Jesus and how he has changed your lives, Me being a Christian myself, I was so excited knowing I could finally watch something decent on You tube when I found this channel, this channel has been such an encouragement to me. There are very few channels on You tube that are Biblically based and has true Believers in Christ, and that's worth watching, You and Nick were THAT VERY I'm so saddened and heartbroken that I won't be able to go to your channel anymore for guidance, uplifting, for encouragement, for the Biblical spiritual aspect of it all. I could tell just by watching the videos that you all were truly believers in Christ and how you all set the example of being Christians. I don't know if I will ever be able to find another channel as Spiritually, biblically based as yours was...makes me want to cry just thinking about it. But anyways, I do understand that you got to do what you feel led to do by God and by the Holy Spirit. Just know that you've been a tremendous help to me in the past years, when I was down, discouraged, or needed strength or just an encouraging word, I flipped over to your channel for that help. As I finish writing this and as my tears are falling from my eyes, I pray, and I hope God richly Blesses you and your family abundantly. Keep doing what you are doing for Jesus, keep serving God, and don't ever lose the faith! Many, many blessing to the next new chapters and seasons of your lives. God Bless, much love to you and your family....Ms. Gaines

[maddiekaetterhenry]

I proud of you for following God’s calling for your life! It’s been such a pleasure to grow up with you, you’ve always been like a big sister to me❤

[ianaholiva]

You were part of my childhood I’m 22 now, thank you BeautyliciousInsider! 😊

[Bellechristinegilbertloftis]

I’ve been watching you since the beginning, you helped me not feel alone in staying pure til marriage. You have been my role model all these years. I read your book in one sitting and still go back to it when I’m going through certain things and it helps me so much. You’re like the best big sister. I’m so glad you are doing what God calls you to do. You always live out so beautifully what you believe, and this is just more evidence of the fact. God bless you and your beautiful family.
