For me the best way to study was to make really neat notes, I would write everything down
and just by doing that I would learn a lot.

Yes! I was making sandwiches, I worked in accounting and before going 100% into Youtube I was working
5 years in a bank slash insurance company.

I've definitely found my person but I'm not getting married anytime soon.

Yes, probably 2.
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Sweet potato!

so good.
But I also love all the other foods.

I like almond butter, dark chocolate or any kind of fruit.

How are you so healthy?
I just don't buy junk food at all.
And if you don't have these things at home, you won't eat them.
You know it's10 o'clock in the evening you start itching for something unhealthy, and
you're not going to get it. Bingo!
What is your secret for perfect skin?
Girl! My skin is not perfect at all!
It's actually quite a struggle and I may do a video dedicated just to my skin one day.
Did you stop wearing clothes from the kids section?
No!
Do you actually sleep in that girly bed that you use in your videos?
You probably mean this room right?
I actually donated the furniture before moving out of the apartment so, no I don't sleep
in that room. I sleep here.
Have you ever tripped over doing your turns on camera?
I don't think so but I am clumsy so a lot of the times I would cut out the more awkward
parts of my spins.
Did you receive a YouTube play button?
Are you ever going to do a collab?
I live far away from any YouTuber that I know so I'm not sure about that.
Hello!
Anyone!?
Will there be a return if Maya from the costumes challenge!?
Hey Maya!
What?
Will you ever be in my videos again?
Maybe!
There you have it.
Did your parents agree when you told them you want to be a YouTuber?
I think I was around 26 so I just started the channel and after a few months I showed
them the videos.
Look mom that's me!
They probably never imagined where this could lead, as neither have I but they were always
very supportive.
What's the hardest part of being a YouTuber?
For me to disconnect and take a day off.
It's a job that never stops.
Breathe out...
OK I'll have to finish filming that video later.
Ugh focus, you're meditating.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Yeah, I'll edit the voice-over tonight and..
Are u planning to do some vlogs?
Maybe? Would you like that?
Are Katie and Miss Teacher real?
Miss Teacher, Katie! Come!
Do u have a secret talent?
I can walk really fast.
See, I told you!
What is your favorite color?
I love blue!
This shade is one of my favorites.
And what is your favorite animal?
Ok so when I was younger my favorite was a killer whale.
Cute, right?
But right now?!
I just cannot decide.
All the animals are so cute.
I could spend hours watching Tik Toks of small animals, they are the cutest thing ever.
And not just small, also big, all the animals, I love them all.
City or countryside?
Both have their charms, advantages and disadvantages, but for me personally – the countryside.
I could live in a small city but really huge ones – not for me.
I value so much the fresh air, space around me, so I can be alone, run, scream it just
makes me feel free.
I think I would feel really anxious and stressed living in a big city surrounded by millions
of people.
Not everyone has a choice of course, but since I do I prefer living more remotely.
Have you ever though about moving to the US?
No! I love Europe so much I don't think I'll never leave.
Why did you move to Norway in the first place and why did you leave?
I moved to Norway to study in Oslo and then I got a job in Bergen.
After 5 years I quit my job and I stayed a couple of years longer to do YouTube.
But I like to film outside so the majority of the year I was freezing too much, so I decided
to move somewhere warmer.
Do u play any sports and what is your favorite sport?
I like hiking!
Pilates!
Boxing!
Fun fact – when I was young like in primary school I was actually very good at sprinting.
So my PE teacher would always encourage me to you know start training and to become an
athlete and I just never did.
Let's see if I'm still any good.
I don't think so.
Do you have any pets?
No, but I would love to.
Do you love buying expensive things?
To me personally material things just don't bring me happiness.
But I don't judge people that spend money on you know cars, designer bags, shoes, clothes,
all that.
If you have money to do that and it makes you happy then go for it.
But for me personally it just doesn't bring me joy.
So I much rather spend my money on equipment for my videos – I want to have the best
possible quality and then I also spend quite a lot on healthy food.
When did you start making videos about DIY?
So I started with makeup, then I added a bit of nail art and then I actually made a few
DIY nail art tools tutorials and that kind of naturally led me to DIY, lifestyle, I added
a bit of comedy in there and that's where I really love it!
Are you doing all the editing yourself?
We are two people working on the videos and I do a lot of editing myself.
Who is your camera man?
Ma boy!
Are you going to make your own merch?
I would love to if I ever have time, But if I do it I want to do it really good, I want
to have a really good quality, maybe even make a specific brand for myself, but we'll see.
Why did you stop posting on the SaraBeautyCorner channel?
I created this very high expectation for me on this channel.
Making 20 minute long heavy edited videos... For me it was just so exhausting and I just
needed to take a step back.
That's why I said you know I'm going to make another channel called Fun With Sara.
I'm going to still post there very heavy edited videos but at least I'm going to make them
shorter. And that's what I've been doing.
I haven't actually taken a break, I was just posting on the other channel.
Why don’t you post regularly?
You know, I work on my videos all the time.
For me it's not humanly possible to spend more hours working on videos as I am already
doing. So I am actually posting totally regularly for me.
It just happens to be more like once a month.
I also think this way: Each video that I post is going to be on my channel forever.
So I can spend one week working on a video or I can spend 4 weeks working on a video
and be very proud of that video.
And then I'm going to have forever this video that I am super proud of, that makes me really
happy on my channel.
And that's just more important to me than fitting you know a schedule.
Do you know what I mean?
No.
And that's fine because some people appreciate the extra effort and some don't and that's
the beauty of internet.
There are so many creators out there so everyone can find something they really like.
How do you edit your videos?
I use Adobe Suite: Adobe Premiere Pro, After effects and for pictures Photoshop
If you weren’t a YouTuber, what would you be?
Probably I would still be working in a bank, finance, investments something along these lines.
If you could give any advice to a girl just starting a career, what would it be?
I would say go that extra mile.
Investing in your product whether that's a video or investing in your knowledge is always
a great idea.
What is your favorite video on your channel and the most fun you had filming one of the videos?
Halloween costumes video is one of my favorites.
I just loved all the DIYs in there.
I also like the car does art because it was such a unique idea.
And this DIY phone case video also has a very special place in my heart.
I remember editing this video right around the time when my grandma passed away and it
will always remind me of her and how it helped me take my mind of of things and gave me something
positive.
It was June everything was blooming I mean look at these colors.
So these are my favorites and now the most fun I had while filming it was probably when
we were filming this part of sneaking toys in class.
Literature writing is considered to be...
Often to do...
Is considered to be..
Is considered to be Aaa..
You know when you laugh so hard that everything hurts?
It was like that.
How long does it take to make one video?
It depends on the length of the video, on how many locations I film at, how I edit.
To give you an example: The Halloween costumes video – It took a day or two for planning,
making the script, and buying all the necessities.
Then it took me at least 10 days to film.
I remember it took me 3 whole days to film only the DIY parrot costume.
And I made 6 costumes in that video.
Then I spent one day filming all the costumes outside, making the drone shots all that.
1 day to film Sara and Katie and another day to film Miss Teacher and Maya.
And after that we also had to do all the editing: I sometimes spend a whole day just on making
the intro, then you have color grading, sound effects, visual effects, we make different
titles in every single video, always completely new music, which you have to find and edit
so it creates the perfect atmosphere.
Both of your costumes are so unique, creative and extremely well executed, so you both get
a 10! Bravo, Bravo!
Yes! Really!? Alright!
Enough, let's get serious again.
I know that when you watch the videos everything runs so smoothly that you think you know it
took me 20 minutes to make it.
But the reality is much less smooth and there is a lot of sweat, struggles and even tears
in there.
They make me very happy and proud so that's what matters to me.
I can honestly say I can retire tomorrow feeling very happy and accomplished with everything
that I have created and given to the world.
So goodbye!
Just kidding, I am not retiring.
These are all the questions, was it really necessary to wait 7 years to answer them?
Awesome, thank you so much to everyone who sent in the questions, if you missed the opportunity,
too bad - it's gone forever.
Love you guys and I'll see you soon! Bye!
