Influencer Kenzie Elizabeth shares her favorite splurges and budget buys

Kenzie Elizabeth is a Texas-loving influencer and podcaster who’s also a speedy reader, hot Pilates aficionado and trend forecaster. Her YouTube audience of 366K has her hustling and bustling — securing brand deals, strategizing content for her subscribers and always on the hunt for unique splurges and budget dupes.

“My brand is primarily lifestyle and wellness-focused and pretty much a reflection of my own life,” Elizabeth told The Post. “I’ll share whatever I’m interested in at the time and I want my viewers to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend when they’re watching my videos, just like a FaceTime call.”

Aside from YouTube, Elizabeth hosts the “I Love You So Much” podcast where she has interviewed guests including MLB Legend Darryl Strawberry, It Cosmetics Founder Jamie Kern Lima and Gwenyth Paltrow’s Health Advisor Dr. Will Cole.

Kenzie Elizabeth’s YouTube channel for her podcast, ‘ILYSM Podcast.’ Video: ‘MLB Legend Darryl Strawberry from Addiction & Jail to Living in Fullness and Freedom.’

“I have a ton of conversations ranging from CEOs to authors,” she said. “I have people from all walks of life to share their perspectives, advice, and thoughts.”

So, Elizabeth’s creative job isn’t the typical 9-to-5 her adored country icon Dolly Parton sings about. She’s go-go-go all the time, always onto the next engaging venture.
