My life is not perfect.

It's so hard not to smile.

I'm a total people pleaser.

I have an incredibly high metabolism.

Sharing is the essence of social media.

I don't really know how to work a camera.

You are my koala bear, and I am your tree.

I still love my little home on YouTube, really.

Everyone needs help when they try something new.

A girl can never have too many lipstick options!

Since I could read, I always had my nose in a book.

The story and the characters of 'Girl Online' are mine.

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back.

I don't like standing and talking in front of lots of people.

Sometimes I feel it would be nice to have a bit more privacy.

I know just how isolating it can feel to experience severe anxiety.

I get notes posted on my windscreen wipers and through my letterbox.

It's good for me to do things outside my comfort zone and push myself.

I do have some viewers who know where I live, and they'll stand outside.

It's always nice to have more than just two hands if you're making cakes.

I think a lot more people are starting to understand the power of YouTube.

People follow me because I am just a normal person, and they can relate to me.

I don't know, the word 'famous' just sounds really weird to me, because I'm just me.

Sometimes you have to face up to your fears to realize that they aren't actually real.

For every sad thing you think of, you should think of three happy things to chase it away.

There isn't any amount of money that could tempt me to promote something that I didn't believe in.

There are times I turn off my Wi-Fi, and I'm selective about what I want to share with the world now.

I love to do a messy top knot because it's so easy but looks like it could have taken a bit of effort!

When you're younger, you worry about so many things that you don't need to worry about, like image, appearance.

I'm so grateful to everyone who has bought a copy of 'Girl Online.' I love that so many of my viewers are enjoying the book!

The joy of YouTube is that you can create content about anything you feel passionate about, however silly the subject matter.

Nine per cent of my viewers are men, of which the majority is, I think, 45 to 50. I like to tell myself it's just my dad watching.

'Bake Off' is one of my favourite programmes, so I was genuinely a little bit shocked and very excited when I was asked to take part.

If you're having fun being yourself and filming something that you would watch yourself, it becomes contagious for other people to watch, too.

People say they like my fashion-haul videos because it's like you've been shopping with your friends, and you look back over what you have bought.

For the doubters out there, of course I was going to have help from Penguin's editorial team in telling my story, which I talked about from the beginning.

As cheesy as it sounds, nothing beats a smile and a bit of confidence! As long as you feel good on the inside, you can still look beautiful without any makeup at all.

When life catches up with us, we all need space to dream and indulge, so I have created my own special range of bath & beauty loveliness to help you find your happy place.

Every time you post something online you have a choice. You can either make it something that adds to the happiness levels in the world-or you can make it something that takes away.

I love watching other beauty girls on YouTube, so I get a lot of ideas through their videos. I also get plenty of requests from viewers, which is great. I can never run out of ideas!

I've decided that I'm not going to try to squeeze myself into a friendship that hurts me anymore. I'm going to let her go and just be friends with people who make me feel good about myself.

I'd always loved watching YouTube videos, and that's what inspired me to make them myself. Initially I was drawn to makeup tutorials - I learned everything I know about makeup from YouTube.

I'm not as tech savvy as some YouTubers, but I'm a lot better than my grandparents. Whenever I have a technical question, or something isn't working, I ask Google, and that usually throws up the answer.

When I got a million subscribers, it just sort of snowballed from there because a lot more people show interest. They're like, 'Who's this? They've got a million subscribers; maybe I'll like their channel.'

People send me fanmail in the post, and I keep every letter, and I always say I will read every single one. It might take me years and years, but I'll do it. Your audience are what makes you, so you have give as much back as you can.

I know that I do have influence over the people who watch me, and it's quite a pressure. I have to stay positive, and while I would never use the words 'role model', I am mindful of the responsibilities that come with a substantial viewership.

I'll post a video, and it might get 10,000 comments, and I'll scroll through and they'll all be lovely and nice - but then they'll be one saying, 'I hate you; I'm unsubscribing' and that's the one that sticks out and stays on your mind all day.

After I left school, where I studied art, photography and textiles at A-level, I started doing an apprenticeship in interior design, but I wasn't really enjoying it very much, so I decided to do something creative, and in 2009, I began blogging.

The second I walked into the first interview with Harry & Niall, Harry immediately came bounding up to me asked me my name, gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and asked if i’d like a drink or a chocolate bar from the fridge. Having only 8 minutes with each group, he probably knew I couldn’t sit munching on a chocolate bar, but he gave me the tour of his fridge nonetheless, and I did take a Daim bar.
