Young Hollywood

I feel that. Yeah. Do you have like certain days that you do other things too? Like it's like no makeup day and like different things or you're just like whatever?

Saweetie

Um, mainly it's just no makeup day because I, I like putting on a lot of makeup. I don't do like a light beat. I do a heavy beat every time, girl. So, it's like it's either all in or nothing.

Young Hollywood

Saweetie

Girl, when I am really just, when I'm just you know, doing the most, probably three to four times a day. Does it? I'm just at my house, in my living room, bro. This is like my, I, I dress based on my mood. So if my mood switches, I my outfit switches. So that's why I change a lot sometimes.
