Violet Benson
About this episode

Hey Besties! It’s the last Tuesday of the month, so you know what that means! To close this month Violet gives us a special Benson Knows Best episode, featuring a Q&A session where she reads messages from you all and gives the life changing advice that we all need.  

This week Violet channels her inner MUA influencer and finally lets everyone in on her skincare and hair routine. Next, Violet dives into the many questions you all sent in and does NOT hold back. From relationship struggles, to what he REALLY means when he sends you mixed signals, and even a special challenge Violet reveals at the end of the episode that she will be doing with you. That’s what Besties are for right? Don’t forget to send in your questions so you can be featured on the next Benson Knows Best and get some much needed advice from your big sis, Violet!
