All of those moments are so comforting, and there's so much safety in those," she said.Caitlin Covington also reflected on being associated with the 'Christian Girl Autumn' title, adding that several people had preconceived notions about her due to her being a Christian.

We review various retailers, place orders, and then I spend hours trying on different outfits. Right now, I’m in the middle of trying on outfits for our Maine trip. We have very specific content ideas, like doing a video with a Gossip Girl audio. I’ll find an outfit that fits that theme, pack it down to a tee — including sunglasses, socks, everything — and then wear it on the trip. It’s probably around 100 hours of work that goes into each trip."Caitlin Covington's post last fall (Image via @PopCrave/X)In the interview, Covington also added that her work was a family business.
