Okay. Like Starbucks. I feel like it's like first thing like love of coffee. Oh, anything self care, skincare makeup. Maybe nails. I don't know, it's like they're always done. Those are just off the top of the head.

Maybe does that trigger anything for you? You can keep, I mean, it makes me like the poses series. I feel like we love a hot girl summer moment and I'm missing some are a little right now even though I'm soaking up that Starbucks for the fall. But this is great. I'm gonna take a sip of, Okay, we have a couple more items. Is it a brown sugar? Almost shaken espresso.

It's you made it to talk about with the pumpkin cream, cold foam divine, literally the best.

Okay, these are cute little items that are significant your life and the questions we ask will definitely matter of fact that I have that camera inside my bag and then we have two cute things that you might be confused. But there's questions based on them that are actually really fun.

Okay. I can't wait. Okay, cute. Right. This is so cute. This is such a good idea. Oh my gosh.

Okay. So it was also, I know you love target. I love target everything except the equipment in the Starbucks. Target falling is what you're telling me. But I thought that, you know, target would be good for you because it fits in exactly. Exactly. Okay. So we started with the Starbucks. We did. So you posted a Tiktok about that to your what? 12 plus million followers?

All my friends. They're all my friends. That's what it is.

Okay. Talk a little bit about Speaking of Tiktok and you posted to all your fans. What, When you posted your first video, what did you think would come of Tiktok? Did you have any expectations?

No. And I think that's like the best part of the app is I was posting on social media for months before any of my videos went viral. Like I was making Tiktok like 2 to 3 a night every night for probably three or four months before a single video hit the for you page. And it was, it was fun. It was just like a way to document my life. It was a way to express myself. And I just moved to L. A. I was a little lonely. I don't have any friends. Um And it was just a nice way to just capture this experience that I was having being in this brand new city.

And what do you remember your first viral video?

Oh my gosh! I actually just got asked this. So I went back and I found it. Um and I can remember my first video. Got 70,000 views and I'm pretty sure I called all my extended family that I was madly famous. I'm just kidding. But it was remember the audio? That was like, I can take your man if I want. Okay, that was that audio. It did. But I made a joke in front of a mirror where I like walked in. This is like right before the I don't want it. Series became a thing I like walked from the mirror and I was like, all these girls are saying they can take my man but my boyfriend respects me and my relationship and I might not be cute on the outside, but I'm cute on the inside. And that was little in the video and I'm pretty sure I threw up a peace sign and you know, now we're here. Just got the ball rolling.

Now when you look at, okay, you said 70,000 now you have, you can get upwards of 45 million views. Like your pin ones have 45 million. Like 39 million. 33 million. So looking at that, what would you say about the course of like your life since you posted that one with

unbelievable. Like, I would have never imagined that. I mean, I graduated with my Master's and it became like, this is my full time career now and I would have never imagined that from just starting making videos in my apartment, like, my college apartment too. I mean, we went through a whole pandemic through the middle of it, but to now it's unbelievable. Like, now I get to go to such cool experiences and get to meet so many of you guys. It's incredible.

Yeah. And speaking of experiences, so we have the mic, so I'll have you like a little bit, so you don't feel like

I make my boyfriend proud holding this right now. Okay.

Mike was originally gonna be because he's on the radio but the clock, so everything will come back okay, Mike is because you host insane red carpets.

I don't know, I don't know how that happened. I like, I remember getting that email that was like, hello, you've been asked for it and I was like, excuse me, I've been asked to wear so it still shocks me. I'm like, it was harper's bizarre. It was the vanity fair Oscars after party. That was like the crazy one and I think there's been like little things in between that, I've got to kind of pop in and enjoy and I got to be there for um like the Spider man, No way home premiere. But I was just got to be an honorary like hype woman. Exactly.

But for that the, what was that like? Like now you're turning your personality and what you know how to do? Like verse with all these celebrities.

Yeah, I think it was, it was one of those experiences where it was such a learning curve. I've never had to think so on the spot. I had thankfully my co host which was brew was incredible to have somebody who had so much experience with like interviewing celebrities and like knowing how to keep the ball rolling. We did so much prep on our own time. We had like note cards for every person that we were anticipating to come through and as I'm speaking into the mic, like I'm talking into it. Um it was just like one of the things that I was so nervous because I still get very star struck. Like I like walk into a room and I'm like, oh my gosh, the people in this room, I should not be here. But it was so cool to get to meet like some of those like childhood like celebrities like Vanessa hudgens and like Hailey Bieber both are such icons and it was amazing. Yeah, exactly. And it was nice because I still feel like I am very casual, like try to be very casual where I'm not freaking out, but I was just, I was very nervous even if it didn't look like it,

who would you say was the most like, starstruck, You've been like Haley Vanessa or like someone else,

I don't know if this was like a starstruck moment, but this was like an anna getting to me, like somebody who, to me is like very iconic, very cool. I got to meet Emma Chamberlain at Louis Vuitton in paris Fashion week and like, I've, I feel like we've almost crossed paths a few times and I just think that it's incredible what she's done to take her career from being Youtube to being like, now she gets to host the Met gala or get to do all the fashion weeks Exactly. It's such an incredible career where she has all these amazing experiences in states, like humble and grounded and she was so sweet, so nice. Like that was one of those, like where I was like, saw her and I was like, oh man, I can't not say hi, but I have to play this so cool. Yeah, so yeah, she was so sweet though,

but you kind of honestly have almost like a similar, like, you could be like that status of like what Emma chamberlain went into because you have such a huge love Emma, you know what I mean? I love genuinely try to hype you up, They love you, that could happen.

You never know, you know what is a, like a big goal that you have, like you want to create a brand, you wanna like off of all the followers and everything you're doing.

That's such a good question. I think we're just talking about your goals too. So it's hard to, it's hard to say. I feel like I, I had a really good friend tell me like really early on in doing social media that in life you can either be a sailboat or speedboat. Speedboat knows where their final destination is and they're like working towards that one thing or a sailboat just goes with the way the wind blows them and they're kind of like enjoying the ride for the most part and I always liked the idea of being a sailboat a little bit more. Um, but I definitely have things like, I would love to break into the film and television space. I got my masters in that and I'm so passionate like storytelling and writing and directing. I would love to do something in that space. Um and I also love the fashion side. I love the chance that I feel like I keep learning every time I, I go to an event, whether it's a runway show or even just getting to see how girls dress and they go out. It's exciting and it's something that I didn't previously see if something I'd be interested in and now as I spent more time doing it, it's, I love like these little accents in the way that the fashion industry changes and evolves and becomes more creative and reinventing itself.

So it sounds like creative path like movies. You can style them. Oh my gosh. Watch out to takeover. Okay, Next one. Which one do you want to grab? We're gonna do a camera. Honestly, the camera. So your camera, this is a representation of your entire life because your life is on camera, right?

Yes. Absolutely.

And we know like you just spoke on, you do want to get into movies, you have your Masters in film. So what would you say is like the most significant thing that you think has happened in your life so far that has helped you just become a more like welfare person to be on camera.

Oh, I think that it's like, I was always behind the camera. I was like, never in front of it. I always grew up with, I think I got my first camcorder when I was in like fourth grade, like my dad got one for all three of the kids from like Sam's Club and Sam's Club. And so we all had these like little handheld camcorders and I would used to make videos, like I would make like family, like logs, videos that get mashed together. Like I'd like put music behind, like we have a full music video performance from our family vacations. Um, and I always just love that element of like capturing an era of your life, and I think social media has done this beautiful thing where Tiktok's become a video album for all those experiences that we have and yeah, I think just I never thought that I would be in front of the camera and all, honestly, even when I graduate from college and I went to my Masters, like writing, directing was what I wanted to do. So getting this experience where I get to be in front of the camera and I can almost see like all these pieces of the puzzle going together. I feel like that's where my engineering comes in again is like the strategy of how videography works and how creation works. Um Yeah, I just I just love that I finally, like, I get the chance to see another side of the industry that I didn't think I would ever get the chance of. Yeah, exactly. It's so exciting to, I love seeing things come together. I think that's why I liked, like, I liked engineering, I like math because there's a finished product from it. I liked calculus because you got a graph out of it. I like, you know, like working all these like little things because there's always this end product and with videography, I like feel that excitement every time I create a video that all these little elements that my brain for some reason c is coming together do, and it makes something that's a memory that's gonna you're gonna hold on forever, and also transition queen, you and your transition transition we were talking about.

Okay, so Caitlin and I had mentioned that we talked about you like last year or whatever, and she was like, oh, you take like five seconds sometimes to do those videos. There's sometimes one take wonders. I don't know how can you just take us through how long a transition video takes and how you kind of started doing this and you're like, oh, these are sick.

Yeah, I don't even know where it started. It's funny because sometimes when I go back in my Tiktok, I find old transition videos and I'm like, I get shocked how my brain worked. Like I'll see those before transitions were a thing on Tiktok and I'm like, she knew what she was doing like back in 2019 or something. Like, I don't know how like I was already piecing together that those cut transitions. Um but for me, transition video depending on like how intense it is. I just did one where I was like going through a day on set and I did a transition between each cut and that one was like, one take for each of those. So it just adds a little extra five seconds if you know the song? That's the hardest part. Honestly, I feel like I can hear the song and I want to cut on the rhythm. So that's what I'm listening for. I film everything in the app.

Okay, so you don't take it out in transition, you're in the app, it's easier to match the music if it's in the app.

So for all those videos that's in it, which that's like, that's top secret, that's exclusive content right there. No, no. Um, but yeah, so I feel most things like right in and when I do like those long get ready videos, those ones do take a little bit longer though because like, so you're like, okay, I need to start getting ready, but four hours before like you pretty fast regardless. I would say it adds about 30 minutes to my normal get ready time, which isn't that terrible. But like if I'm spending an hour and a half, two hours getting ready? Yeah. Sounds little clean. I don't know how I'm watching and I'm like, I love the, the hardest remembering to film before, like before my makeup done. I'm like, oh, I was like after I got out the shower storms, I'm like dang, I should do. My hair was dry. It would look better, but you make it up as you go for most of it.

Okay, so your life is on camera. What is one thing unless you do post everything. What is one thing you'll just never posted online?

Oh, I feel like I more recently have started to appreciate my quiet moments. Like there are times when I'm with my family and that's, I used to share more of that and like as I've grown, I've started share less I think? Um and it's not about whether or not I would share those experiences. It's more of just like things that I want to hold for myself, especially even relationship more recently to like a lot of people don't see the behind the scenes of what my relationship looks like in my family life or like what my day to day is. And although I share that sometimes there are moments where, you know, you kind of want to enjoy it. I went on a family vacation a couple weeks ago and I've never done this where I take, take time off and like I thought about nothing except for being on vacation and I just took videos of things that I loved and at the end, I mean it was kind of because then I end up looking back and having so many videos that I was like, oh my gosh, I love this memory and I was able to make content out of it later. But in the moment I really got to soak it up and enjoy it and just like, let myself be creative how I wanted to be and take the photos I wanted. And I wasn't thinking like, oh, should I post? I get ready this morning, I need to wear makeup. I just like, I enjoyed and I feel like that's something that I'm starting to find like a greater appreciation for as I can two and did that come with, do you feel pressure? You have 12 plus million dollars on just Tiktok? You have 1. 5 on instagram. So you have millions across the board. Do you feel pressure from that? And like how do you deal with a lot of like your Q and people are like, how much pressure do you feel like having to post all the time? So what, how do you deal with the pressure to?

I think I feel I have a lighter load because it's my normal life. So I don't feel a pressure in the sense of like I have to be doing something all the time because I can like make something out of anything. Like if I like go out and get started like a video of it and that counts is like, that's my video for the day. You know, I'm like, I made content and I'm excited about that and do that. Something that I really enjoy. It's like going for a target run. You have to go get groceries or you know, like, it's funny because your brain almost begins to hardwire itself to see like your life in like little bits. Um, and then it's funny because like when you go to the store and you don't feel like this is like a vacation. Like, oh my God, I'm like, take the day off. Exactly. It's so nice.

But there's this like I do it sometimes? Like feel pressure? I like you for sure. I think anybody will attest to the fact you get a little bit of stress when you're like, I have no ideas. My brain is drained. Like I've been like, you feel a little bit of burnout creeping up. You've had like maybe a hard day and you're like emotionally, I never want to put on like a fake performance where I'm like best day ever. And then like I cry in my bedroom 20 minutes later. Um So there for sure. Days were like, I feel I'm harder on myself because I'm not in a good mood to make a video and I'm not gonna take it like that's just not what I want to be. So sometimes that's how you get like the videos where I'm a little more um like emotionally vulnerable on the internet. And it's like moment where I'm like, you know what these days happen everybody and it's it's better just accept that they're gonna have and feel that then you know,

It's nice to see that you're really, you know what I mean? Like if you were just like not like posting that all the time. Like toxic toxic, toxic positivity is a thing and I like, yeah, you gotta have down days to have updates. You know like they're all in between.

Exactly.

Okay. We're gonna do the clock next. Would you have any guesses on what the clock signifies your life besides time and looking at like the, like, what's the symbol in this? Um, I don't know. I'm like, I'm curious. You know, like I've got, what's it gonna be Tiktok? No, just cracked the code. Um, like, okay. So what it actually means is persistent and this is completely related to your relationship. So that's your boyfriend. I love this. So we saw that you posted cause everybody has a million questions about how you guys met, like how your relationship is now and everything. But we saw that you posted that you rejected him for quite a while now. I mean like

It was, it's fun. It's funny. Like, it wasn't meant to be like intense rejection. It was just like, I knew that this was like a really sweet boy and I didn't want to like waste that shot and I was not ready to be like a girlfriend again because that's work. It's work to be a girlfriend. It's not easy. You gotta like, you know, be like dedicated, put in the time and if I do something, I want to do it 100%, I didn't want to give him.

So, but that's like, so like boulder because like I'm the type. I would fold. I'd be like, you know what, I'm gonna get right now and eventually he'll get the folder.

There's some like really stories of like the in between where like, you know, we could always cross paths and I always thought that he was wonderful. Like, you know from the get go. I mean, like, I did comment on a Tiktok that I was like, like, I got that follow back, you know? But it's like, it's cute to look back and see those days. But once I met him I was like, Oh, this boy is too sweet. Like, I like, I'm like not. And it was that I was trying to be like all over the place or something. I just like, I knew I needed me time still. Like, I wasn't feeling 100% yet and I wasn't gonna jump into something just because I thought that he was great. I wanted, I wanted to be great for him too. So yeah.

And what was the moment that you felt like you were ready?

Oh, what I always like kind of told myself like, I was like, looking for somebody who I didn't need something to make my life better. I need something to add to my already good stuff that I had going, like, I wanted to be good by myself and then have somebody who's like the cherry on top. And I mean, I think it was a collection. There's like, obviously there comes a time where like, you can't stop at this person, which I think is kind of cute. You know, like, like, I was like, man, I was really enjoying, um but we went to Chicago together. We came back, we had been like hanging out on and off and there's just a point where I was like, man, this kid. Like I I was not living in L. A. Yet. I was living in ventura which is like an hour and a half north of here. It's a little bit outside the city. And I I kept finding excuses to come to L. A. Because that's where he lived. And I feel like that's probably when it was, it was like this one where I like kept catching myself, I was like rushing the process of moving into my place because we lived down the street from each other and I was like, which also is completely by coincidence, that's a wild story within himself. Um But so I just was like rushing moving and I couldn't wait to see him. And yeah, there was like, like he just treated me so nicely. I can remember going, he was so respectful. It's I could talk about it. So I'm like literally going on a tangent about this boy. I could talk about him all day long. He's great. But yeah, there was like a moment where he was, he kind of felt like he like had so much respect for me. It's like a really gentle way to put that. But yeah,

You know, you listen to him on the radio before you started dating. Did he also used to put me on the radio. Did you know that that's like I like what you would like sometimes like call me and I'd call into the

I would call into the radio and I would give Starbucks reviews to the radio. Like so any dating advice you, I really like this boy actually outside your studio,

Would you ever co host a radio show with him?

I got to do a valentine's day segment this year which was really, really wholesome. It's so cute. He's the best honestly too. And it's like he's my best friend is wonderful. But yeah, I don't know if I'm good at the radio though. I feel like I don't know, I feel like I'd stumble over my words a little bit. I get a little nervous.

You can just continue to get start calling.

I know I'm gonna I'm gonna be guest starring like if he's talking to me, I could talk all day long time on the phone but like put me in front of mike mike, There's nothing behind these eyes and

What would you say? Last question. But what would you say is your favorite like just favorite thing about it? But the internet doesn't know or something he does that you just like adore

Everything. That's probably one of the places you would make, you know like when you date somebody and you actually pick up their mannerisms that's happening and it's very dangerous because it's just bad news. Like I think we start making the same face and we're like, yeah, and I got started, I just know that it happens something that I really like. He's very attentive, attentive and good attention to detail. Like he doesn't know that, but he like, is, he's very consistent, which is really nice. Like he makes you feel safe. He like, I wake up every morning to a cup of coffee, can't beat it. He like, makes sure I eat breakfast before I walk out the door, like makes me egg sandwiches. Like if you love like a sausage, egg mcmuffin, he has the secret sauce. But no, you show up actually it's over. Don't tell my boyfriend like that mean no relationship. Like actually, no, but it's not

Subscribe to the channel.

Yeah, exactly. Subscribe to the channel, we'll be back. But yeah, it was no, it's like
