I found her channel a few weeks ago and went back and subscribed today, nice to see not too much shit talking about her. She seems fairly calm and not annoying.

Yeah I'm not sure what the thought process here was...As I said before, I like Carrie. But I really don't get her fashion choices
I saw Alexa Sunshine83 did a Christmas thrift for Kathleen Illustrated, Alexa should hook her up with Carrie so she can help teach her about balance and shape with clothes

Wow her look in her new video is not super flattering? It ages her a lot I think. Her self tan is also kind of awful.

Right, as she was going through her wardrobe I'm thinking "Do these things fit her?" Her outfit was super unflattering

I do love Carrie but she frustrates me with her clothing choices 90% of the time. She insists on dressing in "gamine" styles from Tik-Tok which are intended for kids born in the mid-noughties. Those clothes just don't look right on a mid-size mid-30s grown woman.
She looks her best when dressing to highlight her chest and shoulders with her waist cinched and legs elongated. I don't know why she insists on draping herself in oversized trendy clothing which does nothing for her, I'm desperate to see her dressing like a confident grown woman. I think she'd notice a massive difference to her silhouette if she wore properly structured bras, too. Speaking from experience, the unpadded wireless bra does nothing for the bigger chested girlies.

She's super lovely, I've been watching her for years!
Her style was better previously, I think she's got a bit lost in the last 2 or 3 years and doesn't really know what *her* style is anymore because she's always chasing It Girl fashion and worrying about what's on trend rather than what she likes or what flatters her body.

Yeah, I started watching her about 5 years or so ago when she did a British foods video with Jasmin.
She definitely had better style back then.
I feel she tries to wear a lot of the stuff Alexa does too but they are completely different shapes/sizes

I like her. I was quite shocked at how old she is!
I thought she was maybe 30 at the oldest!

I wasn't sure of comments and likes. I just presumed they did.
I know they get paid for views though.
I'm sure I've seen quite a few where she says she's been sent clothes or something to try too.

They only earn money from ads that run on their videos. No money from comments or likes. It looks like her channels get about 800,000 views a month. So perhaps about $4000-$5000 from YouTube ads per month. Then she has sponsorships and maybe affiliate links. Probably a lot of the clothes are sent to her for free from brands?

I think it depends on how big the channel is and if the brands think by giving free stuff it is cheap advertising. channels with more subs and views are likely to get either free stuff or even get paid sponsorships in turn the companies get exposure. If the channel is small, then youtubers usually have to buy the stuff themselves because companies don't want to pay them or give them free stuff if the video doesnt get enough views.

I did have a quick Google and YouTube pays around $0.005 per view for someone of Carrie's channel size.
She has 2 channels and posts weekly, sometimes twice and averages around 100-120k views combining the 2 channels.
So she gets about $450-$650 a week. Just for 2 videos.
That's not including if she gets paid extra for likes and comments which they usually do

Just YouTube I believe!

I was so surprised at her age when I first started watching her because I didn't think she acted/dressed like a woman in her mid 30s.
I think she seems really nice.
I just don't like the style personally at all.
I agree that the shapes ect don't suit her either.

It's why they all do the "like and subscribe" thing or a lot of them say "comment with..."
Because they get paid extra for it

I quite like her, she's about my height and size, plus she's pretty relatable.
