Transcripts
hi so I thought it would be fun I
actually asked you guys on Instagram to
ask me some frequently asked questions
and as I'm getting ready I thought it'd
be fun to answer them and so basically
I'm just gonna get ready for the day I
just got back from the gym I just
showered and now I'm good and ready
so the first frequently asked question
that I actually get all of the time is
how do you do your messy buns so I
thought it'd be fun to start with hair
today and to show you my secret to a
messy bun so this messy bun actually
works better when your hair is a little
bit dirty
I had to spray dry shampoo into my hair
to start to give it a little bit more
texture and also I just went to the gym
so my hair is a little bit dirty so I do
that and I like to run my fingers
through my hair to make sure it's all
textured and nice and then my secret
weapon is actually this which it's
called the Barefoot blonde up and it is
a very thick extension and it has three
clips and this is what's gonna give me
the volume for on top of my head to make
a messy bun so the first thing that I do
is I just I part my hair like this and I
give it a nice part and then I take my
up and I hope you guys can see this but
I clip it upside down like so I will
show you once I'm done clipping it so I
clip it to where it's upside down
and it's pretty secure the way that
stays in it's really nice and then I'm
gonna flip my head over and just create
a ponytail just like that and this is
completely hidden in the back which is
really nice and then I like my messy
buns really messy hence the name messy
bun but some people like to do them like
where their hair is like perfectly
slicked back but I usually just throw it
up in a ponytail and for my hair type I
like to use a scrunchie I'm trying to
grow out my hair and I feel like
scrunchies are really healthy for your
hair it doesn't pull out your hair when
you take out your hair and then
basically I start kind of pulling on my
hair to give it that Messier look so I
want you guys to see you can see you
don't even see the extension in the back
which is so nice and it gave me so much
more hair to work with you can see my
hair cuts off right here and it gives me
all this extra volume and then I like to
just give my hair a little bit of a
tease so it's extra textured for the
messy bun and then I take a small rubber
band and I create a messy bun I just
like do a quick twist okay so I like to
do this and then I just tuck and play
with it until I get it to where I like
it and sometimes I like to use a bobby
pin to secure it depending on if I'm
going to work that day or whatever I am
doing so I'm gonna just take a couple of
bobby pins you can see there's some like
loose hairs over here just secure it in
the back but I just play with it until I
get it to where I like it I'm gonna do
one more bobby pin here and then I'm
gonna spray it Oh actually I'm gonna I
like to pull out a bunch of pieces to
make it even Messier make it look like
I've been wearing it for a minute and
then I'm gonna
hairspray it so I'm going to use the
Moroccan oil hair spray I like this
because
it smells super good and it also holds
my hair really nicely spread it and that
is the messy bun
and depending on my outfit I have like a
bunch of hair scarf sometimes I'll tie a
little hair scarf in my hair or put
another scrunchie on the outside but
today I'm just going very simple so I'm
just gonna leave my hair like this
alright now we could get into some of
the questions and get into the makeup
portion of this right now I have nothing
on my face so I'm about to put some
moisturizer on let's see I'm gonna read
through some of these questions that I
got and see what you guys are saying
let's start out with I'm gonna scroll to
the very beginning I've gotten quite a
few questions here so one said how is
your skin so clear so for me I like to
always be washing my face I feel like I
definitely have a couple little
breakouts on my skin but I'm always
using moisturizer this is the
moisturizer from Willing Beauty a skin
care line and I will actually link below
the skincare that I use but I always
start my makeup routine with putting on
moisturizer
I think moisturizing is so important
people forget to moisturize and
especially since I live in the desert
it's so important to extra moisturizer
your face um I always like 20 times a
day I'm royster izing my face I mean
it's very important and I like to drink
a lot of water my husband is always
telling me you need to drink more water
so he's helped me and inspired me to
drink more water
so the first step after moisturizing is
I use this Becca primer which it has a
lot of highlighter in it it's like a
really shimmery glowy look and I put
this all over my face to give my skin
like a really hydrated and glowy look
and I have to like cat it into my skin
you could kind of see how it creates
this glow on my skin so hopefully that
answers your question I think just
keeping up with your skincare regimen in
high school I have really bad acne
I just think that was hormonal and
unfortunately it was just really bad but
I think as you get older your skin gets
better but then also drinking water and
moisturizing a lot someone said do you
want kids if so when the answer to that
is absolutely I definitely want kids and
when I do not know because I'm just
going with the flow right now and
whenever I feel like it feels right
that's when we'll have kids but I feel
like I want like four or five kids I am
the oldest of five kids and I loved
growing up with a lot of siblings it was
super fun
and I just I love kids I got to meet my
little nephew last night which was so
sweet
he's a newborn he's two months old his
name is August and I'm obsessed with
little babies so maybe soon we'll see
where do you get all of your clothes you
have the cutest wardrobe well that is a
very nice I usually buy my clothes all
online Oh online I buy all my clothes
online I like to shop at a sauce calm
okay okay I call it a sauce I think it's
ASOS or ASOS I don't know ASOS calm and
I love to go through their sale category
I also really love Tsavo skirt it is an
Australian brand I buy a lot of clothes
from them I think it's really cute and
then just I'll occasionally go to the
mall and just browse some stores and see
what I can find but really ASOS calm
it's my jam it's where I buy everything
and my husband would say I have an
addiction sorry okay if you didn't own
origami owl what would your dream
jothee well I have to say origami how
really is my dream job like I can't
imagine a better and more rewarding job
I love what I do and I'm so grateful for
work on the owl and the blessing it's
been in my life
if you don't know I own a jewelry
company called origami owl I started it
when I was 14 years old and I did not
expect it to grow the way that it has
but I'm so grateful that it has and now
we're a direct sales company or social
selling company where you could buy a
kit of the product and you could sell it
yourself online which is so it's just so
cool to see people who are selling my
product all around the country and in
Canada it's been a really rewarding job
but if I didn't have origami owl which I
can't even imagine my life without it
I'm so blessed and so grateful for it I
would probably want to be like a travel
journalist or a photographer right now I
feel like I'm not that great of a
photographer but I would probably want
to perfect my skills and learn how to be
a good photographer I love this stuff
it's amazing
um so that's probably what I would do
someone said what is your favorite thing
to do in your spare time and I would
have to say travel anytime that I know
that I have a day off I'm usually
booking a flight somewhere with my
husband usually we we just love to
travel it's such a passion of ours and
we're grateful that we have the
opportunity to get to do it and so yeah
traveling is definitely something I like
to do whenever I have a day off also
other things I like to do in my spare
time is just I'm a homebody I like to
relax and watch TV hang out with friends
like I love going out to lunch with my
friends and yeah that's probably what I
would do in my spare time how do you
balance your company marriage travel
social media and not stress girl I'm
stressed
no I'm just kidding a rod stressed um I
just think that
definitely you have to set a schedule
for yourself
I always keep a schedule on my phone so
I know what my work responsibilities are
and I know but usually when we're
traveling you guys don't see this side
of our life but when we're traveling we
are traveling on the weekends so I am
leaving Friday and we're there Saturday
and Sunday and we come home Monday so
then I could get to work so that's
usually like what we're doing but I
think that one thing that just helps me
is keeping a schedule on my phone and
also realizing that is not always going
to be perfect but there are days where I
do stress and I have a lot on my plate
but you you just need to just try to
take a deep breath and not stress and
everything's gonna be okay Delon
interrupted my video and he is curly
peeing behind me he looks great before
and now what inspired you're working out
also your favorite meal and workout this
is a very frequently asked question so
let's talk about my workout journey for
a little bit it's definitely not perfect
and I have not a workout expert by any
means but I've recently found a passion
for working out and for being healthy
and that doesn't mean that I'm healthy
all the time but I just try my best and
I get so fired up about this topic
because I feel like there's so many
people who tell you that you have to
have a perfect meal plan that you have
to go to the gym every single day two
times a day in order to see results and
I don't think that's the case I think
that to be healthy and happy you need to
find what works for you and you need to
find a workout that you're actually
enjoying and having fun doing because if
you're not enjoying your workout and
you're going just because you want to
lose weight or whatever you're not going
to enjoy it
also another thing that I've found
during my workout journey is that there
are days where I don't feel that great
about myself I go to the gym I compare
myself to other girls I see some
he was just flattest ABS in the world
and I'm like dang like I don't look like
that and I don't think I ever will but
you got to stop doing that and I'm
telling this mostly to myself stop doing
that Bella because it only hurts
yourself and it lowers your self-esteem
and it's just good for nobody the
workout plan that I do so what I do
every day is I actually do a plan called
the sweat app basically it's an app this
girl on Instagram started she's a
fitness expert I will link it below it
has really changed my life I've been
doing it for about a year and a half to
two years now when I got into fitness I
was feeling really bad about myself I
was not healthy I was eating out every
single night and I was the heaviest that
I've ever been and I just started
feeling really bad about myself and so I
decided that I was just gonna make a
couple of small changes in my life so I
could start feeling a little bit better
about myself and that I could be healthy
so I started doing this white app
everyday well when I actually first
started working out I was doing it about
three to four times a week because I
couldn't work out every day my body
literally physically could not do it but
now my my regimen and what I do for the
week is I work out every morning and
that's just what works for me
I go to the gym in the morning for about
45 minutes to an hour I crank out a
little workout and I feel really great
throughout the day so I just like how
it's just changed my life and I guess I
would just say if you're not enjoying
your workout and you are feeling
miserable you need to stop and just take
it easy and find something that you love
also I used to get really intimidated
going into the gym like I felt I just
felt like everybody was looking at me or
they were judging me or I saw someone
who is like a girl who was like lifting
so much weight and I'm lifting like five
pound weights and struggling I was like
man they're probably like laughing in
their head at me nobody is thinking that
not a single person like not one person
is looking at you and judging you
everybody there is on their own journey
they're all just trying to be healthy
and happy and not one person is judging
you in that gym so you need to remember
that when you're going to the gym and
just remember that you are there for
yourself and no one else and if you see
a bunch of men in the weight section and
you feel a little bit insecure go in
that way such section and own it because
you've got this girl so someone said how
do you deal with thin hair ok so long
story short I just think that using less
heat on your hair helps I'm in the
process of growing out my hair myself so
I don't have a perfect answer for you
but using less heat on your hair has
really helped me grow out my hair not
blow-drying it as much and also using
scrunchies I swear it using scrunchies
has helped my hair so much because
before my hair I'd be ripping out my
hair my ponytail and my hair would be
coming out with it but with the
scrunchie I've noticed that no hair
comes out with it so I think it's so
important to use a scrunchie to help
your thin hair also find really good
products that work for you I changed my
shampoo and conditioner I think it's
worth it to spend a little extra money
on an expensive shampoo and conditioner
because you want your hair to be happy
right so that's really my tips I have
I'm not a hair expert so that's what I
do best tips to make my feet look so
cute and aesthetically pleasing I think
that using presets on your photos like a
cohesive preset can help but I also
think it doesn't really matter I just
think if you're posting quality photos
that's all that really matters I kind of
given up on trying to make my feet look
aesthetically pleasing I used to care so
much about it
but now it's kind of the least of my
worries I just try to post cute photos
and I use a couple of presets my
favorite presets are actually my friend
Lauren and Jennifer they are launching
their presets this week and they are so
good like so good you guys have to check
them out
just make sure you're following me
because you will see when I post about
their presets but using presets just
definitely helps you have a cohesive
feed next question is how did you and
Ellen meet and this is a frequently
asked question as well so I had a party
at my house where I was just going to
make a bunch of food invite some friends
over and people kept asking can I bring
a friend can I bring a friend so I was
like sure bring whoever you want
well my roommate at the time she was my
best friend still is she invited this
guy who invited his sister who invited
Dallin and basically we met that night
we became friends for about a year -
yeah just about a year and then we
started dating and it's funny because
Dallin told me when we first started
dating which I thought he was crazy he
said he was like I know that within six
months we'll be engaged and I was like
whoa this guy's a little bit crazy like
kind of scared me a little bit but he
was not wrong we were engaged like three
