GRWM Q&A!! IM MOVING!

welcome back to my channel you guys

today's video is very different in the

sense that it's I don't oh God you guys

listen we're just going to keep this

video very real I am so tired we are

moving across the country just a little

over a week away I know you guys have a

ton of questions so I'm going to answer

your questions while doing a get ready

with me this is what we're working with

right now I'm sitting in front of a

window in my film room okay my film room

is like no longer my film room it looks

like this actually looks very pretty

over here it is like a disaster but I'm

sitting in front of the window and it is

about to pour rain like it's so gloomy

and cloudy and I'm like okay gr our

neighbors just started mowing their lawn

and so you might hear the lawn mower but

it is what it is this is life all aboard

the hot mess Express let's get into it

orange poppy I'm so obsessed hold

on that sound goes so hard the orange

and the watermelon I feel like there's

the two most slept on flavors by poppy

so freaking good and

refreshing oh nothing makes me happier

than when I find a brand that I fall in

love with especially one like poppy that

legitimately helped me get over the act

of drinking alcohol cuz I started making

mocktails and enjoying them so much and

then becoming a partner with them like

it's the best it's amazing and I

freaking love my job and I'm just

grateful and blessed to be here let's

get ready together I can't believe how

casual this video is I hope you guys

appreciate it because this is just my

life right now every produ that I use

will be listed in the description box

below since I am doing a Q&A as I get

ready I probably won't be able to talk

about every single product I'm applying

it so if you're interested what I

actually use my face description box the

first and most asked question is why

California I cannot believe I'm

moving and I can't believe I'm talking

about this out loud it's actually so

crazy the fact that now it's like been

put out there into the world it's been

such a long time coming and like such a

behind thes scenes situation it's giving

Kevin Mall Sarah I'm

like okay so I just want to start off by

saying that I have wanted to move out of

this house for years like my Hope was to

be out of this place before Jordan and I

got married because of the fact that I

bought this house before I ever met

Jordan even though he moved in and he

pays bills you know what I'm saying it

doesn't matter it still felt like mine

and I hated that so my goal was for him

and I to find a place before we got

married which is crazy because now we

are moving the same month as our oneyear

wedding anniversary which is actually

pretty crazy also I am filming

everything for Jaclyn's Journey so you

guys are going to see a lot more of this

process much more in depth and also

probably a much more raw vulnerable side

of me talking about moving and leaving

this house that I'm going to give you in

this video because I feel like they're

two separate type Style videos like

Jaclyn's Journey I'm just very very raw

and get ready with me I'm just a little

bit more yeah right I was going to say

composed as if I've wanted to leave this

house for years but ever since I stopped

drinking it's been like a whole

different level I'm like get me out of

this house the house itself is so

amazing this house is so beautiful the

location of it is amazing like it's

literally a 10 out of 10 it's an amazing

house in an amazing location I have gone

through the darkest days of my life in

this house and I've lived here for 7

years and like five of those years were

just so horrible that for me I'm like I

got to get out of here like it's part of

my story it's part of like my book if

you will it's like the next chapter

requires me to get out of this house the

past couple of years we have

consistently gone and looked at houses

in the Tampa area we've probably toured

20 30 houses in like the last I would

say 2 or 3 years that we always have our

eyes open for something that could like

open up and fall into our laps right

after I stopped drinking and I got

really clear-minded I was like I've got

to get out of this house it got to the

point where I was like listen Jordan I

don't care what that means I don't care

if we move to a less desirable area less

hot spot location and a smaller house

like I really don't care I just want to

get out of here like I don't need like

the big house we started exploring all

of our options because I was like I just

want to get out of this house and Jordan

was totally fully 100% on board one

night him and I were having a

conversation and I'm just feeling so

frustrated cuz I'm like nothing is

showing up like nothing is happening he

said to me what about California just

being like a total that I guess I

am was very dismissive and I was just

like yeah no I would never I used to

literally Say Never Say Never but I

would never live in California we have

so many friends out there you guys

that's where all the events are for both

of our careers now at this point we get

invited to events all the time that we

can't go to because a lot of these

events literally send the invite 48

hours or like 72 hours before the event

and I'm like um we have stuff to do it's

a 5H hour flight so with our friends

being out there the environment is just

so beautiful it's where our careers are

Jordan's like let's just think about it

we don't have kids yet there's nothing

that's tying us down here except for our

families who are all healthy able to

travel like let's just explore this

option and I was like okay we'll see

what happens if it's meant to be it's

meant to be we literally found our house

4 days later the second that we even

opened up our minds to the possibility

of going out there it literally fell

into our lap so this leads me to the

next question a ton of you guys are

asking how did we find the house it was

like out of a book like you just can't

even make this up basically long

story short we became friends with the

lers a couple of years ago we met them

at our friend well one of my best

friends Mike and PK's wedding okay we

met Taylor and Taylor lner at that

wedding and we became friends with them

they're the sweetest couple we told them

like Hey we're opening up to the

possibility of moving out to California

and he was like oh my gosh one of my

greatest friends is a realtor okay

period 2 Days Later the lers and a

couple of my friends met up with their

realtor and walked this house that was

still in the process of being built that

was off the market and they facetimed us

and we loved it so much that we put in

an offer it happened so quickly I called

my girlfriend and I said listen you're

meeting up with Taylor and Taylor lner I

need you to go tour this house for me I

need you to FaceTime me and she was like

I'll be there she's like this

house is incredible you would be an

idiot not to move here like it is 10 out

of 10 it fell into our laps it was a

brand new build hadn't even been on the

market no one else has even walked

through it yet like how is that even

possible in our price range in the area

that we were looking to move I didn't

even tell my mom because that's how

nonserious I was about this move I was

just like you know what if it's meant to

be it's meant to be Jordan and I said a

little prayer and we're like make it so

obvious that this is supposed to be our

next step that we're just for to do it

and literally the same week sorry my

makeup by Mario bronzer like broke it

will no longer roll up like they're

always a little tricky but like it's

completely broke it won't roll up

anymore it's been like that for like a

week so I'm just using it like this and

whatever technically this is not even my

shade but we're not going to focus on

that because we're talking about the

house right now another question

everyone wants to know is are we moving

to La no we are not moving to LA but

we're going to be close to La we're

about an hour outside of La I have

talked about how much I cannot stand La

basically my entire career and I still

stick by that you guys and I'm not

trying to be a hater I love California

California is I think personally the

most beautiful state that we have here

in the US like it is the weather the

mountains the valley the desert it is so

freaking gorgeous but I don't like LA

because more than anything you guys I've

always had a fear of getting caught up

in that lifestyle and like losing myself

to that because my morals are so

important to me I pride myself on being

very very family oriented and who I am

as a daughter and as a sister and as an

aunt it's my most important identifier

more than my career could ever be I

would live under a bridge in order to be

a good family member more so than being

like a celebrity but it's just gotten to

the point you guys where like I'm just

going to keep it real marrying Jordan

going to therapy and stopping drinking

just genuinely change in my life and for

the first time I actually feel like I'm

ready to take risks I'm ready to go on

adventure and I know I'm not going to

lose myself like I now at 33 years old

feel so grounded in who I am that I'm no

longer afraid of that it's getting deep

up in here guys I like it okay next

question and one of the biggest

questions that I got and I knew I was

going to get is about my family is my

family moving out there with me is my

family sad what am I going to do about

my family because you guys all know how

family oriented I am also side note I've

changed my blush placement that's hard

to say blush placement recently and I am

obsessed you know how everyone's like

bringing it up in this area I sto doing

that I'm focusing it more so on the

apples of the cheeks area and then

whatever is left over I like slightly go

up in here and blend it out with the

bronzer trust the process I'm obsessed I

just think it's so pretty and I'm like

why did I start bringing it up here so

everyone wants to know how they took the

news and all that so everything happened

so quickly that we did not even tell our

families that we were looking into

California and then we just poof found

this house and we're like holy this

is happening I've never been more

nervous in my entire life to tell my

brother we were repainting our bathroom

because we just couldn't find a house

and I was like going crazy here so my

mom was helping helping me repaint my

bathroom and I told my mom I was like

listen mom I think we're going to move

to California and I told her and she

cried she got all choked up and she's

like you know what sweetheart I support

you you're such a good man you have a

partner and I know that you know what's

best for you guys and your future family

I'll come out and see you guys all the

time like her instant reaction was just

so supportive and she just had so much

trust in me and Jordan and like our

decision for ourselves and our future

family the approval of my mom like I

can't even put into words how what that

to me my mom was fine I was like okay

check that box my brother I was like I'm

going to die like I invited my family my

brother his wife and his two kids tly

and Jada you guys know who they are

we've all grown up with them I was so

freaking nervous I could not sleep for

like three nights like I was in my own

personal hell because I was like this is

going to be the worst moment of my life

Talia and Jada they both cried my

brother and his wife they both knew it

was coming they were like yeah we've

seen this coming for a while they were

very understanding and that was that my

family is not moving out there with me

but Talia Jada and my sister-in-law they

already have their tickets booked they

come out there the same week as we move

which is like two less than two weeks

from now to come spend a few days with

us although I don't have kids of my own

my most important job that I've ever had

is being an aunt I cannot wait to be a

mother but in the meantime I have taken

my job as an aunt so seriously I've

always wanted to create such a safe

place even though I know that they have

such great parents like I never was

close with any of my aunts growing up

and I've always just been envious of

people who are I think it's such an

amazing relationship and bond like some

things you're not comfortable telling

your parents so being able to go to your

aunt and have like that trust that

conversation and then if something

really terrible is going on in their

life of course I can go to my brother my

sister and talk to them about it like

that's just always been a job that I

take very serious but here's the reality

of the situation you guys my nieces and

my nephew they're all growing up like

Talia is about to be 18 I'm going to

throw up all over the place on her 18th

birthday I'm not going to be well don't

even bother trying to check in on me the

girls are 15 16 17 and they're all just

growing up and it's at the point where

it's like they don't need me you know

what I'm saying and it's like they've

got their own lives they're doing their

own thing it's the way it's supposed to

be like now we hang out and we have fun

they're at the point where they can all

travel alone like they're all

comfortable getting on a plane they're

all comfortable traveling like at this

point they're like expert Travelers they

can come out and see me I'm going to

come out and see them like my entire

family is still here Jordan's entire

family is still here so it's like we're

going to be back and forth like crazy I

don't need to be here for them anymore

you know this time of my life is about

me I want to become a mother I need to

take care of myself because pretty soon

if I'm lucky enough if I'm blessed

enough to be able to conceive and have a

healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby

like pretty soon my life is going to be

consumed by a child and I'm going to be

the kind of mom who's going to fully

wrap myself up into the life of my

children this era of my life is about me

like this is my time it's my time to be

a wife it's my time to figure out where

I want to live what I want to do what's

the next step do I want to open up

another business do I want to do a

fragrance line do I want to do makeup

again do I want to redo my lipsticks

like I just need to figure out what I

want and I'm so blessed to have a

partner where I'm able to do that with

him and also because of him it's very

bittersweet because leaving my family

here in Tampa is going to be hard but at

the same time everybody supports it and

everybody knows that this is a really

good thing okay I threw my brows on and

I'm doing a little bit of baking down

here next question people want to know

if this house is going to be the same

style as our current house and the

answer is no it's actually really fun

and this is one of the reasons why I

wanted to move out of this house before

I got married to Jordan I wanted to like

find and create like our style as a

couple so I'm going to put some random

photos that I have saved right here of

just like inspiration photos for our new

house but this new house in general is a

completely different style it's much

more modern it's got like super light

wood it's very beige and I've never been

a fan of that home decor whatsoever but

Jordan has always loved it since we

started dating he's always loved that

and so this is about compromise right

like Jordan makes good money too he's

paying half the mortgage so we're going

to decorate this together and we're

going to compromise so we're having fun

really just kind of like creating and

finding out like what our style is right

now we're working with Restoration

Hardware because we both love

Restoration Hardware and I just cannot

wait to see this house and rooms come

together very modern it's got super

super tall ceilings like when you first

walk in it's like a very very open

concept like very just like open like

big and Grand where it's like kitchen

family room dining room the backyard is

just like a view like a view of just

like mountains like it's just it's so

different you guys we're so excited like

I cannot even wrap my head around how

excited we are just to have like a

change of scenery literally another

really big question is all about the

dogs and the cat how are Lolly Tipsy and

Marty getting there so we are flying

with them all of our belongings are

being taken like driven there we took

them to the vet they're all up to date

on their shots and their vaccinations

Marty is

microchipped they also gave Marty and

Tipsy a little something something to

take the edge off because they Marty is

a cat so she just like panicked and

Tipsy is tipsy your girl needs a

prescription they are ready for the

plane we bought them some crates that

they have to go in they're going to be

with us they're not going under the

plane they're going to be in our laps

the entire time I refuse to put my dogs

underneath with the luggage like

literally refus I would hold my dogs and

walk all the way to California before I

put them with the luggage on a plane

like I cannot so I'm so grateful that

they fit into those little kennels and

they'll be able to be with us the entire

time I also know that when it comes to

Marty we have to be really careful when

we first move there we've been looking

into a ctio we're trying to figure out

all the things we're have to keep her in

the house for a while it's not going to

be easy because she loves to go outside

I would say realistically in a 24-hour

period on a daily basis she probably

spends about 6 hours outside she hangs

out on our back porch she runs around

she says hi hipes the neighbors she runs

a few errands and then she always comes

back I'm really nervous about this new

house because I know she's going to want

to do that but we're not going to let

her at first because I'm too scared I'm

scared of everything it's a new

environment just so you guys know if

you're new around here I hate cats and

I've always hated cats and I've been

very vocal about that I'm like cat I'm

such a dog person and then this freaking

cat stumbled into my life she's freaking

so perfect so sweet so gentle she's like

a little lamb and I love her so much and

now I'm moving her ass across the

country what can I say she's truly part

of the family now okay one of the

biggest questions I'm getting asked is

what are we doing with this current

house are we selling it are we renting

it at first I wanted to keep it as a

second house just as like a security

blanket because I'm like okay moving

across country is really scary what if

we want to come back but then I quickly

reminded myself you don't want to live

in this house anymore like that's the

point that was the point of wanting to

move in the first place is I don't want

to live in this house anymore I need to

say goodbye to this house to close a

chapter of my life it's just necessary I

don't care how great the house is I

don't care how great the location is I

need to say goodbye in order to move on

it's just part of my journey so with

that being said we are going to be

selling this house not right the second

we are so freaking blessed in the sense

that like we got to purchase the new

house first we're going to get our stuff

out there and then we're going to sell

this house so it's going to be a lot

less stress and the fact that we work

from home it would have been a nightmare

to have people like walking through and

touring and viewing this house like

while we're trying to like sit here and

work and all that I know it's going to

be so weird to see it go but I just hope

it goes to like some incredible awesome

people who just get to enjoy this house

because I've put so much love into this

place I've made so many upgrades like

the amount of marble and tile and

Limestone that I've brought into this

house I hope that people come in and

just love and adore it there's only one

piece of furniture in this entire house

that we're taking and it's just like a

random piece of marble it's like a

random table that I've had for like 13

years and that is the only thing in this

house that we're taking we are donating

everything we are not selling we are

donating again I'm just very blessed to

be fortunate enough to be able to do

this it's part of who I am it's a love

language of mine to be able to give

these things to not only family and

friends but also strangers were donating

some of the stuff to a church and things

aren't like they used to be around here

I used to have so many employees you

guys I used to have I think it was 37

employees total I was depressed I was

miserable but I used to have so much

help I always say that like I used to

have an employee for everything except

wiping my ass like I had someone in

every single role you can possibly think

of now all I have is two employees I

have retired some people um like I take

care of a few people but as far as

people who actually work for me I only

have two people I have my editor hey

Evander and I have my assistant and that

is it and so when it comes to this move

Jordan and I are doing a lot of it on

our own which is completely different

than the way it used to be like when I

moved out to LA a couple of years ago

for a few months literally I did not

lift a finger I did not lift a finger I

had people move me literally they packed

up my makeup my clothes everything I had

people doing everything and now I'm

doing stuff on my own because I just

want to and I've realized that it's just

part of my happiness I like to do things

I like to be busy and it's a lot but

it's great all right I threw some lashes

on somebody asked what I most excited

for about living in California for me

it's a little bit of everything I am so

excited about all of the different food

and I know that sounds silly but I'm

being serious like Tampa doesn't really

have like great Cuisine like out there

it's like you have amazing Sushi you

have amazing Mexican you have amazing

Indian you have Amazing Thai like you

have so many different Cuisines we're

also so excited to be able to plant C

plants and be able to have like our own

vegetables we would love to have our own

chicken coup like even certain flowers

like roses like you cannot have roses

around your house here in Florida like

the environment won't allow it so it's

like there's just so many things that

we'll be able to do and have out there

like our quality of life we feel like is

going to just be so much more exciting

and so much better A lot of you guys are

asking what if you don't like it out

there and honestly you guys we're

prepared for that if we don't like it

we'll move back to Tampa all arrows and

signs pointed to California so we're

like let's do this like let's go on this

adventure it's just kind of fun just him

and I doing like something on our own

it's something so new and fresh and fun

and so if we hate it then we'll come

back my face is pretty much done I did

the most basic makeup ever I actually

don't even like it cuz I wasn't even

focusing on it I was focusing on the

questions I suck genuinely suck at get

ready with me like I don't understand

how all these girls on Tik Tok make it

look so

easy this is the best purchase I think

I've ever made in my entire life I will

never go back to using those fans that

you have to charge ever again this

literally dries your face in I would say

10 seconds I literally just did my

makeup only for this video I'm about to

go wash my face and then just pack and

do stuff around the house I felt like if

I sat down and answer these questions

with a full face of makeup on it'd be

too boring so I literally put on makeup

just for this and now I'm going to go

wash my face that is it for this get

ready with me Q&A I still can't believe

that I'm actually moving I cannot

believe that this house is torn up like

this I can't believe you guys know that

we're moving like

this is just crazy thank you so much to

all of you guys who just continue to

watch me and follow my journey wherever

life takes me it's so while just like

entering this whole new chapter of life

and having you guys with me like I am so

grateful for this online friendship I'm

so grateful for you guys just

understanding me for accepting all of my

apologies for watching me fall off the

horse and get back on time and time and

time again in my personal life and

business it's been quite the journey
