An Australian influencer has revealed she is closing her popular recipe platform.
Sarah Stevenson, who runs the blog Sarah’s Day, spoke to her YouTube channel to announce “the end of this chapter” on Thursday, detailing the reasons why she ditched her Sunee app.
The influencer said motherhood had changed her priorities and business goals.
“This season of motherhood has been my greatest blessing and an experience that I know is fleeting. In our lives there is time to do everything, but not all at once,” she said.
‘With all this in mind and my intentions to create more balance in my life, I have come to the decision to close the Sunee App.’

“This season of motherhood has been my greatest blessing and an experience that I know is fleeting. In our lives there is time to do everything, but not all at once,” she said
The businesswoman also said that although the app no longer exists, she will focus on more individual projects, such as cookbooks.
“It allows me to put all my creativity into my work, while prioritizing my role as a mother and raising my boys,” she added.
It comes after Sarah made headlines in March for posting a ‘tone deaf’ post in which she revealed her ‘big life update’ is that she has bought a plot of land for a holiday home.
The mother of two announced in a YouTube video that she had purchased a second “garbage house” that she and husband Kurt plan to completely renovate and use for photo shoots and vacations.
She didn’t say where they bought it, but it appears it’s in their home state of NSW.

A day earlier, she teased a “big life update” that would change her family’s lives forever in a post shared with her 1.2 million Instagram followers.
“I’m going to share some big life updates that will take up a lot of my time in the coming years and will change our lives forever,” she said.
“It’s pretty big news for us that I didn’t really want to share, but I decided it was going to come out anyway.”
When it was revealed on her YouTube channel the next day that this ‘major update’ meant she had bought a second home, many fans were angry and expressed their frustration in the comments section of the @InfluencerUpdatesAU account.
“I can hardly call that life-changing, lmao. What a privilege in the current crisis that most people are living in right now,” one person wrote.

Another said: ‘There is so much wrong with this. First of all, not exactly life-changing news, right? Just click us to watch her YouTube video so she can get more views and more money.
‘Secondly, while the rest of us are struggling to pay the rent/mortgages and keep up with the rising costs of food and fuel here, she is flaunting to her followers that she has bought another house, leading to a third house ; a holiday home/house to take photos in. What a privilege. It’s great to be able to pay for what she does, but I don’t think she had to announce it in such a way.
‘This was very bad form. I’m not following anymore.’
A third wrote: ‘Why did she tease this huge, huge life update when it was literally just ‘A rich person gets richer by buying a second house to rent out.’
Sarah, who already owns a house in Cronulla with her husband Kurt Tilse, has been called ‘tone deaf’ by some as the country faces a cost of living crisis and skyrocketing interest rates
