For the past two years, Kendall Jenner's app and its corresponding website, KendallJ.com, have been giving updates to her fans about anything related to Jenner's beauty and fashion tips. While it became easier for fans to keep up with the Jenner, things will be different next year as she plans to shut it down.

"As I look ahead to the next year, my goals and priorities are changing. I've had an incredible 2+ years connecting with all of you, but I've made the difficult decision to no longer update my app in 2018," writes Jenner on her website, which is actually the only thing fans will see on it. "I hope you've enjoyed this journey as much as I have, and am looking forward to sharing the next chapter with you."

Nothing else has been said about the app and website aside from Jenner's message. For some, it may not exactly be surprising given that among her sisters, Kendall is the most reserved, which she acknowledges as well. Her desire for privacy may have driven her move to shut down her app, especially since the past few months have seen her sisters in the spotlight. Her sisters have yet to actually say anything about Jenner's decision in public, if they even will.

The news also comes after she opened up about her anxiety issues in a teaser for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" resuming on Jan. 7, 2018. "I just get anxiety sometimes," said Jenner in the teaser. This is also more believable after hearing that she has also filed a restraining order on someone who apparently kept harassing her, as per Harper's Bazaar. She shares how she sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night suffering a panic attack.

Jenner and her sisters first released their own separate apps and websites back in 2015. Each of them had their own topic and niche, with Jenner focusing on beauty and fashion while her sisters focused on lifestyle in general. These other apps and websites are still up.

What is most significant is that the particular tradition of ‘Mothering Sunday’ – as found in the UK, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries – has its roots in an event that is much older than the US celebration and the commercial card-giving and gift-giving that the US event has inspired. And these roots express Christian beliefs and practices.
