About

You're Doing Amazing, Sweetie is a memorable quote from the reality television series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Online, the phrase has been adapted as both a catchphrase and a reaction image with a screenshot from the show featuring Kris Jenner pointing her camera at a disrobed Kim Kardashian being used to express encouragement.
