Therese started her career by taking up a job in a local media and communication house. She started working while she was still pursuing her education. She then worked as a sales representative at ‘Hi3G Access’, a telecom operator in Sweden. After working there for some time, Therese switched her job.

During her last job tenure, Therese faced the most difficult phase of her life. She developed depression and underwent a series of panic attacks. She left her job and went into her shell. She showed no signs of recovery even after receiving medical treatment for a long period of time. Her state of mind finally improved after spending six months at home. Therese indulged in a lot of constructive activities while recuperating. One of these activities included watching videos on YouTube.

She watched a lot of videos and read a variety of blogs during her time at home. After a year, Therese’s condition improved but she was still far away from complete recovery. But she felt like she was on the right track and had once again gained confidence and energy. In the fall of 2011, Therese finally uploaded her first video on her YouTube channel. The channel took a bit of time to gain views and subscribers.

Back then, not many girls from Sweden were on YouTube. This fact worked in favor of Therese and her channel gradually became popular. Though she was posting a variety of videos right from the beginning, she was constantly willing to carry out research in order to improve her channel. Therese regularly followed American vloggers in order to incorporate quality and variety into her vlogs.

Initially, she was inclined towards video editing and focused more on the quality of her video, rather than focusing on the content. But as her channel became more and more popular, she came up with a variety of videos. Therese started uploading videos on hair and skin care. She also reviewed newly launched products. The popularity of her videos made her a star in no time. She soon became the most popular female internet star in Sweden with more than 10 million views per month and half a million followers on all her social media accounts.

The channel, which she started just to showcase her skills in video editing, has now become a tool to speak her heart out.
