If you know me, you know that I recently re-downloaded TikTok after a very long break to post a Halloween video. While I was reintegrating myself into the For You page, I stumbled across a video by Alix Earle. I scrolled past without a second thought, but she quickly popped up again. After a day of seeing her videos at least once every hour, I followed her, and I’ve never looked back. From her relatable hungover GRWM videos to her jealousy-inducing brand trip outfit tours, I’m calling it now- Alix Earle will be owning everyone’s FYP’s very shortly.

Born and raised in central New Jersey, the U-Miami senior joins a huge group of very famous young adults at her university. In a get-to-know-me video, she said she tried many sports throughout her childhood, but horseback riding and dancing were her two favorites, even discussing turning down a modeling contract in hopes of becoming a professional dancer. Growing up, she struggled to find girl friends until high school and she discussed the intense bullying she experienced. She started working when she was twelve years old with all of her cousins at a local ice cream shop. When she was in high school, she worked at a clothing boutique, which she still buys from today. She is twenty-one years old, the oldest of five children. Earle says she is very close with her siblings and parents and posted many videos with her family during Parents Weekend.

Earle says she is a Sagittarius and is a firm believer in the magic of Drunk Elephant’s bronzing product and lower lid white eyeliner. Alix Earle has loved posting videos for as long as she can remember, but obviously takes it more seriously now. She also loves animals and has owned many different pets, including goats, pigs, and a horse. She loves the warm weather, hence her attendance at the regularly sunny and warm University of Miami where she studies marketing.

This year, she lives in a house with five of her best friends where she posts most of her videos. She plans on staying in Miami or moving to California after she graduates. She loves to travel and party and most of her content is dedicated to preparing for hitting the club or various parties across campus. Earle loves the phrase, “You only live once,” and she preaches that you should say “yes” to everything you can. Despite her fun and wild lifestyle, she says that she has been getting A’s for as long as she can remember.

If you haven’t fallen in love with her yet, her Amazon storefront is absolutely legendary. It is filled with all of her recommendations for everything from self-tanner to bikinis. Also linked to her TikTok is her Revolve favorites and her Poshmark. Honestly, she is the coolest girl on the face of the Earth and if you aren’t following her yet, you should be.
