A little known fact is that after her Masters in the summer, she was earning her living by bartending, working at a tanning salon and go-go dancing at a nightclub. However, she somehow still managed to fit in time for blogging, showing a hard work ethic.

It is estimated that her net worth is $2.5 m and rising. She has enjoyed her success by moving into her $1.1m Santa Monica town house and shooting videos at this location.
