Product placement

Frugal Chic (book): Acts - it is the subject of the video, being announced and promoted. Removing it would change the video's purpose. Frugal Chic (brand): Appears - it is the name of the book and the creator's brand. Removing it would change the video's context but not its core action. The Psychology of Money (book): Appears - shown briefly as an example of a successful book in the same genre. Removing it would not change the video's core purpose.

A secret I've been keeping from you frugal chic

Transcript

I have a big announcement. For the last nine months, I've been working on something that I couldn't speak about, and being the queen of transparency that I am, that was quite difficult for me. But I mentioned a while ago that I was working on a project and finally, I can reveal what that actually is. Guys, as you know, Frugal Chic is my brand. It's a movement, it's something quite intangible, it's more of an idea. And it gained a lot of traction. It was a viral series, and I've now turned it into a newsletter and basically a digital media brand. After posting about financial literacy, my personal journey with my own personal finances for the last two years, so many of you have asked me if I'm ever going to write a book. So I finally did. This is what I've been working on. Frugal Chic, of course. I published with HarperCollins, who also did The Psychology of Money. I really wanted to sit alongside that title. That was very important to me. It's essentially going to be a one-stop shop for everything intentional spending, financial literacy. It was honestly looking for a place to put my ideas or things that I've learned over the years into one single place. And this is going to be it. Honestly, it feels crazy to become an author at age 25. I could never have foreseen that from my future. But I'm so grateful for everything and for all of you that make it possible. I know that sounds super cringe, but it's true. It's going to release on January the 12th, but you can pre-order now. And I'll leave the link in my bio to do so.
