Cristine is a big example of a YouTube Success Story. She’s moving on up . How can we be anything but proud?

How am I finding out about her retiring TWO YEARS LATER???

[rlaahslzk]

I feel like we should normalize youtubers retiring. They shouldn't have to get to this point of burn out. Thankful for the laughs I got to have on this channel over the years!

[TheFeelingOfC]

It took me a YEAR to have the courage to watch this and still cried haha, thank you for everything but most importantly, thank you for taking care of yourself

[Socks_at_life]

Hearing her say "my dad died last year" broke my heart instantly. I genuinely loved cristines dad, of his humor, the love he gives to his children and more. I never knew that my tears can flow that fast until i heard her say those words... even though its too late cristine, my condolences and i wish you the best...

[eggmon]

She’s not gone. She’s just creating different content that’s more fulfilling for her rn. I’m glad that she can find a form of content that she finds makes her ACTUALLY happy. :)

[aquariumlife]

This is so bittersweet. She’s a full fledged businesswoman and a real actual girl boss which we love. She may already be in her 30’s but she’s still grown up and matured. So proud.

Took me 2 years to build my courage to watch this video, I've spent my entire childhood watching her, learning from her... this felt like a reminder that my childhood is actually over...

Cristine,

When I was 17, 6 years ago, I was featured in one of your Q&A’s, as someone who was struggling because my parents wouldn’t allow me to wear nail polish. The words you gave me were the words that NOBODY around me ever said, but that I longed with all my heart to hear. You supported me and my love for nail polish when no one else did.

Today, at 23, I always have nail polish on my nails and I’m happier than ever being myself. I want to thank you for doing that for me, and I want to wish you happiness in everything you decide to do with your life. I’ll always be there to support you on any endeavors you take.

Love,
Johnny.

that "see y'all later bye" in the end with her voice cracking just a tiny bit just made my tears drop. cristine, jenna & safiya helped me get through 2020 when isolation was just so hard. cristine's voice in this video says a lot on how hard it was for her to make this...i'm sad but also happy that her business is thriving, she's doing content that actually makes her happy (streaming & podcasts) & that she finally put herself first by letting go of something that didn't make her happy anymore. i wish nothing but happiness & sucess for you, simply! thank you for making us happy these past 7 years, it's your turn now <3

I honestly never knew how you did it all. Having a “normal” job, owning a business, creating and editing videos, doing instagram and also be there for yourself and your family. You are an incredible inspiration to everybody. Not because you worked so hard, but because you show everybody that it is okay to stop something that is not good for you.
RIP dad - I’m so sorry for your loss.

[Puzka]

Rest in peace, papa taco 🌮
Sending you much love, and take as much time as you need! We’re here for you whenever you need us to be💕

[juliensolo]

such a powerful and well articulated video on something that rings so true to so many. proud of you and excited for what’s next for simply. 💕

[TheOneKEA]

Of course you’re not “just” a YouTuber anymore! You’re a badass multi-disciplinary, endlessly creative, delightfully entertaining CEO and founder of one of the hottest new brands of consumer products to yet be created! You’re also a highly productive, endlessly creative, hilariously entertaining live-streamer, podcaster and genuine gamer who delivers far more content than any of us could have ever predicted! Your fan base will understand and your fan base will always be here to enjoy whatever you produce for us. Thanks!

[moARRgan]

"please don't be sad, I'm okay" literally made me tear up. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be okay for other people. like we owe it to THEM to be okay, not to ourselves. Christine, you owe it to YOURSELF to be okay. Take your time. Do what you love. Do what makes you happy. Do what's sustainable. You're amazing.

[Gimpygladiator]

I'm Deaf. It's a huge part of my identity AND my language. Your videos are 100% captioned, so I **always** feel included, even with your podcasts (which is actually kinda rare). The fact that you always put out quality products that I get to wear (99% of the time, HT is my first choice, and if I can't decide on one, I'll just pick 10 colors and go with it) and because I use my hands to communicate, these colors are often the first thing people notice.... so there's quite literally a little of you is in every conversation. And yeah, I guess that sounds weird, but this proud, Deaf, gimpy wierdo-oddball is totally okay with that. ❤ That and HT bottles are harder for my feline roommates to knock over than other brands, so there's that at least! 🤣

Edit: damn typos!

[TwinCitiesFancy]

Like her good friend Jenna, she took an out when it no longer served a good headspace. Nothing but respect for you! Thanks for the great entertainment over the years!

[abbeyfarago]

That “see y’all later bye” hit different. So proud of you Cristine we support you <3

[AdriannaDeGuzman]

wait but the "thanks so much for watching and i'll see yall later bye" made me emotional, actually 😢 thank you christine for being such a critical part of my high school era. you introduced an aspect of self care in nail care that was important to me. best wishes to you if you read this

[natalm]

i hadnt checked her channel in years and i did now and i just bawled my eyes watching this. i’m happy you’re doing what best for you <3
