Where is ingrid nilsen from

Her nationality is American. She had a very difficult teenage. Initially, she had a very comfortable childhood in a loving family with caring parents. Her father was an architect and provided her family very well.

However, she started facing problems when her father passed away. She was in her teens during that time. Her family had to face some financial problems and her mother had to work extra hard to sustain the family. Ingrid is a very compassionate person as she grew up in a conservative environment. Nilsen began a YouTube channel with the name Missglamorazzi where she wanted to share her feeling of confidence with other people and also push herself to overcome her fear of public speaking.

In her videos, she mostly covers topics such as fashion, lifestyle, and makeup. Should I get a corporate job? Do I want to do consulting? I was pretty much open to anything and everything. My first priority was taking a break over the summer, because I've never really completely had a break. I got to spend time with myself and see what came up for me. That's where the magic really happened. I was getting rest and allowing my imagination and my curiosity to just run wild. It wasn't even lit.

And I just thought to myself, Oh, I've always loved candles. I wonder how you make a candle. It just seemed like a huge headache. But in this moment it seemed so simple.

I just looked it up on the internet, on forums where people have been making candles for a long time and had a lot of experience and advice. I watched YouTube videos and realized that if I wanted to just basically learn how to make a candle, I could just get some simple supplies from a craft store and see what happens. I made my very first candles in the basement of Erica's dad's house on a ping pong table, and I loved it. I loved the entire process of it.

And so it was really just following the breadcrumbs and wondering what would happen if I experimented with different scents and different materials and different containers.

And then on the drive back from Indiana, I expressed to Erica that I thought that I could really do something with this, because I really loved it. And the more I spent time with it, the more I started remembering things over the years that I had said, like in Paris where I had just come out of this tea shop and I was smelling all these teas that were so fragrant.

This has been brewing for a while. I just didn't have space to really sit with it. What went into your decision to retire from YouTube? Did something specific happen? Ingrid: It really wasn't in the works for very long before it happened—I want to say a month and a half before I posted my video. It was really an unremarkable moment.

I was walking down the street on the sidewalk and I just had this question drop into my head. It was this moment of just saying yes to ideas that I had never let myself entertain before. So I remember coming home and telling Erica. Erica: I want to say it was under the surface for a while, even since I met you. It was clearly the final chapter of your career as an influencer, even though you hadn't articulated it so clearly until that day in May or June.

Whenever you were called an influencer, like out and about or introduced that way, you embraced it, obviously, and enjoyed it, but you really got into the space a decade ago to be a maker. And this is not to say there aren't really creative makers on the internet right now who are influencers. But that first generation of really wacky, creative, interesting kids who wanted a creative outlet Erica, how did you get involved with the project?

Erica: [We were] driving from Indiana to New York City and Ingrid was telling me about this vision and it just became really clear that I could complement her with my skills—building products and businesses inside of big tech companies. The throughline of my career has been entrepreneurship. It just seemed really exciting and tangible and different and possible, a fun thing to do together. So I offered to help her on the business side. And I think you said yes right away—or maybe you said you would think about it.

Going into business with your partner is also just, like, take it slow. We talked about it many times and thought about it and then worked with a lawyer to think through how things will be structured and really just took our time making sure that it felt right for both of us, and ultimately it did.

Erica: I left my job at Vox Media in December. So I did leave my day job and I'm working primarily on New Savant with some creative, independent writing projects that I'm passionate about. My dad had a small business growing up. He sold insurance in Indiana—my dad is big part of this story—but growing up I always thought to myself it'd be really fun to have my own business.

And after college, [where] I studied journalism and [then going] into media and technology and working for these big companies, it just felt impossible. What would a new company be, and how could that dream be realized?
