On September 1, 2016 she announced in the blog post "Why I'm 'Quitting' My YouTube Channel" and the video "Finishing with Sprinkle of Glitter" that she will be quitting her YouTube channel as it is now, and change to something more 'adult', as she feels she has grown up a lot since the start of her channel, and it's time for something new and something she feels is more 'Louise Pentland', instead of 'SprinkleofGlitter'.
