Honeymoon Diaries

**Honeymoon Diaries** is a YouTube channel created by Ariana Murphy and Jones Crow for things related to Ariana's first world tour, The Honeymoon Tour.

## Background

* Ariana first announced the channel through Twitter on January 10, 2020.
* The profile picture for the channel is from a photoshoot that Ariana and Jones did several months before they made the channel.
* Jones is the one who films all the videos.
* On July 23, 2020, Ariana turned this account from public to private, making all the videos inaccessible. It was probably a mistake, because the next day the videos returned public.
