Growing up was difficult for Cooney as she would often get bullied at her school due to her lean and thin appearance so she had to change schools quite a lot of times.
However, the bullying grew overwhelming so her parents decided to take online school so she would not get bullied. After graduating from the school, Eugenia joined Connections Academy for her higher studies and completed her graduation in 2013.
At first, Eugenia knew nothing about YouTube and making videos so she joined modeling for a brief period. At the same time, she started becoming popular on YouTube when her modeling career prevented her online career.
