(optimistic music)
- What up, boos?
Welcome, it's your girl Shameless
and we in the building.
Like, you officially at home with me.
(laughs)
What is life?
Okay, so I wanted to check in with you.
I feel like, I don't know about you,
but I've gone through the rollercoaster.
Follow me on Instagram for all that jazz.
But I've gone through the high and lows
of confusion.
Let's just chat.
I wanna do my face because when you're stuck at home,
it's fine, like I believe in natural beauty,
but I also like to have fun, do something different.
At the end of the day I think creation is key.
But yeah, corona.
I didn't wanna say that, which should not be named,
because it's just like a lot.
But how many rabbit holes have you jumped down?
I've been through many and now I'm just like,
"Maya, what actually matters?
"Okay, your health?"
And that's why it's so important to
live not just a positive life.
Live your life.
I did a video like a few years ago
on how to live when you're dying.
So, my question to you and to me
if I could do it all over again,
what would I do differently?
I wouldn't be absorbed in work.
I think what's good about this time
is to enjoy family.
Like, right now I'm a loner.
Like my family, nobody's here which is pretty a lot.
I've been going through that.
Like, I've had moments
where I feel sorry for myself and start crying.
It's like super lonely and isolating
and there are other times
where I'm just like, girl, you got God.
Don't you worry.
So, this is the bareMinerals Terra 8.5.
I really love this bareMinerals stuff that I got
a while back.
But yeah, spending time with the people that you love,
I don't have that luxury but I've been doing it
through FaceTime.
WhatsApp, all that fun stuff I've been doing.
But if I could do it again,
I kind of start to go down that rabbit hole
when I went to Columbia for my birthday.
I was by myself
and I was just walking along the beach.
I was staying at a hostel, a surf hostel.
So, it wasn't very glamorous in the sense
that being able to have these thoughts on a beach,
but realizing money can afford a certain lifestyle depending
on where you're living.
Like, living in Canada and the U.S.
and other parts of the world like London.
These are expensive, like metropolitan cities are expensive
and it's something that I've always strived for.
Like, I lived in Toronto, New York, Vancouver, L.A.
and now that I'm traveling to other remote parts
of this world I'm like what am I doing?
Why did I think I couldn't do life differently?
I'm just doing this little (clicking).
Financial education and I can admit
that I know how to acquire money
and I know how to spend it.
The disconnect comes when I don't necessarily know
how to invest or make it work, multiply.
And there's this notion that, oh,
I don't have enough money,
but it's like if I have enough money
to get my nails done, I have enough money.
So, let's be real, real.
Pardon me, I'm gonna take you on a journey
'cause I'm jumping all over the place.
So, I'm just gonna set all of this
'cause my face is greasy.
With some hourglass setting powder.
But yeah, the minimalist life is so appealing to me
especially now when it's like what actually matters.
I also think times like this,
forcing us to be in quarantine, is a good time
to do some self reflection.
Learning a skill is so important.
I'm using Fenty Beauty, this is so dope.
They're so small, so it's like perfect travel
and they snap together.
So, this is three and five I snapped together.
I'm gonna use this three.
What was I saying?
Using this time to develop a skill.
Or do the work that you haven't done.
Tax season, it might be pushed,
but it's still upon us for all the entrepreneurs out there.
Our taxes are a little bit more intricate.
But developing a skill,
having a business that you can do remotely.
I mean, I am working for myself, but it's not easy.
It doesn't mean you're safe.
It just means you have to be responsible
for other people 'cause a lot of people who work
for themself employ other people
and that is a scary place to be.
If there is anything that I've taken away
from this corona nonsense, it's to stop eating meat.
What are us?
Why are we still eating meat?
I feel like it's just easy.
It's almost autopilot.
So much of our life is on autopilot.
Like, if you really think about it.
And we deliberately look the other way
when we don't wanna see the truth.
When you actually look at what is happening
not just in these meat markets.
'Cause these meat markets
can have fancy names in other country.
Like, a cattle ranch.
I've seen some of them
and I'm just like what the?
I don't know, man.
Unless I'm ensuring that the meats that I'm eating
are coming from a good place, I'm done.
I gave up beef, like I don't know,
15 years ago or something like that, 12 years ago.
And then I never ate pork
'cause as a kid I was allergic to it.
I know, weird, right?
I was like are you really allergic to this, Maya?
It's not like a massive anaphylactic allergy.
It's more of like my face would break out.
And so I just stopped when I was a little kid
and when I googled to find out
is this really a thing?
Pork has a histamine, so for someone like me who
is sensitive to it, nothing about pork I've ever liked.
Water break!
And then chicken I gave up when I moved here
to Los Angeles and I was also vegetarian for a little while
and I started eating seafood again when I went to Hawaii
and I was like, "Oh wow, this is so part of the culture."
Like, I need to eat something, so I'll eat fish.
And so I still eat fish and shrimp,
but I don't wanna finish what's in my fridge, I'm done.
The only time I'll eat meat now
is when I travel and there's really nothing else for me.
But I have to make this home a meat-free home.
This is a wake-up call, a wake-up call.
If not eating meat meant not spreading crazy ass viruses.
All of these viruses come from meat, mad cow disease.
Remember that?
And then the swine flu.
I don't know if that came from eating meat
or another rabbit hole that it came from doing meat.
Just learning more, I really wanna learn more.
I feel like the lie that I tell myself
is like, oh you don't have enough time, Maya.
Oh, you got time.
Your phone tells you how much time
you spend on social media.
So, girl you got time.
So, I wanna be better at managing my time
and I wanna manage my time to learn.
I just wanna be a bookworm.
Knowledge, man, oof.
When you know, you know.
So, I wanna learn more.
I've been reading.
So, I love Sorelle Amore, she's such an amazing YouTuber.
The channel is litty.
I just watched her video on speed reading
and now I'm like, oh yeah,
I need to learn how to speed read.
But it's not just the concept of reading fast.
It's the information that you retain, your memory.
All that stuff, 'cause my memory, what?
I need to work on that.
And for all of us in a long-distance relationship,
I am mildly panicking, not really.
But in the back of my head I'm like
what's gonna happen if they really close the border on me?
Then I can't see my family and the love of my life.
They're gonna close the border on me.
Where does that leave me?
I don't know.
But I guess 'cause I've been living by myself for so long.
I'm just like, Maya, you've been a loner.
You have been a loner, what's so different?
The difference is the fear, oh my goodness.
I'm still using palette number three.
The fear that is being spread.
Social distancing, I was on my Instagram talking
about fear distancing, getting off of social media.
Like, social media is like a double-edged sword.
Take it when it's positive.
When it's negative and it's really hurting your soul,
you need to get off.
So, I even had to get off.
I put a social limiter, one hour.
And then at ten p.m. it blocks me.
So, if I really wanna be online,
'cause I really should be going to bed early.
'Cause everything starts at night,
the nighttime routine is so key.
How I set my day ups starts with what I'm doing
the night before.
So, am I going to bed early?
Am I praying, am I meditating?
And my goodness right now I feel like, yes,
there's a massive virus going around,
but it's also a spiritual battle.
'Cause if you believe and you fall into the negativity,
you become stressful and worried and once you're stressful
and worried, it brings your immune system down
and pow, immune system down, we out chere, we gon' get you.
I know that the numbers are high in Italy,
but it's like there's also
an older demographic.
I've been in Europe.
I cannot believe the amount of smoking happens in Europe.
I'm like why is everyone smoking?
I thought that was so 90s.
People still smoke.
I don't understand why.
Your lungs, your lungs have to be at optimal capacity.
No matter what it is.
Whether it's marijuana, you stop smoking.
This ish is attacking our lungs?
So yeah, health.
It's like mind, body and soul.
I feel like this virus is exposing every weakness
in the system whether it's financial.
We're going through a financial crash.
Our recession was already in the works,
but this is like hm.
All the cracks in your spirituality, if you had doubts,
that worry and fear is gonna set in
and your health, your physical health.
You can be the most physically active person
on the face of the earth,
but if your spiritual belief system is,
it's gon' get you, it's gon' get you too.
We literally have to be warriors, our bodies.
Sorry, I'm doing this so you can see me
'cause if I'm like this you don't see me.
Our bodies are our temples
and we gots to make sure that, that's all in order.
So, this is Make Up For Ever Y455.
So, on that note, take this time to workout at home.
Blogilates has amazing workout activities.
Workout routines on her Instagram
and her YouTube channel.
I'm more of a Instagram person, catch me on Instagram.
Look at my long eyebrows.
I was about to say my long Asian eyebrows.
I'm Filipino and Black
and my heart is breaking at the cruelty of humanity,
not just the racism.
I can't believe the amount
of (sighs) physical attacks happening
to the Asian community, like pedestrians attacking.
Government, let me just be specific,
Trump saying some comments that are not helping.
We have to be so careful
with what we say and how we say it.
Right now is not the time to point fingers.
Right now is the time to come up with solutions.
What should we do differently
when we get the chance to?
Are we gon' learn?
Are we really gonna learn?
I hope y'all bearing with me, she's just all over the place.
I just wanted to get all of these thoughts out.
Out of my head.
It is a reminder to be on point.
We need stress.
'Cause I had to start doing affirmations and praying again.
I've been doing my devotional, U version.
For those of you that are not into the Bible,
then there is Calm, Balance, Headspace,
meditation stuff for y'all, I like to do both.
This is the Fenty Mimosa Sunrise.
I like to do all of it.
As long as it's love,
ideas that spread unity and love, I'm all for it.
But never has the Bible been so prevalent.
Like, the words that I had read
over and over and over again.
Like now like really like, girl,
do you really believe us?
Are you really gonna lean on God?
And all I can say is
the thing that has calmed me down
is knowing that I am gonna die.
And death is not to be feared
and I think a lot of us,
we're so attached to this world,
our belongings, our families.
I don't know, I don't know if it's
'cause I'm, again, I'm a loner.
And if I were to die, which I will,
when I die I'm gonna be on my death bed
and be like I did that.
I jumped out of a plane.
I decided to be shameless on YouTube.
I decided to allow myself to fall in love again.
Nothing is for granted,
but I do know, don't allow fear to overpower you.
And let me know 'cause I'm thinking about having
Tiffany Budgetnista come back on here
and talk about money and just a reminder
because this world is operated on money, honey.
Even healthcare.
Here in the U.S. I couldn't believe what the bills
for Americans coming out of the hospital being treated
for corona, $35,000.
That's what happens when the healthcare is privatized.
What are they gonna pay for that treatment?
With what job?
We were just forced to close everything.
Also shout out to all the healthcare workers.
You are literally the modern day
Guardians of the Galaxy soldiers.
Like, hats off.
The war that they I don't know
if they actually prepared for.
And he's saying all kinds of nonsense.
He that will not be named.
Making comments.
Guess where we get our supplies from?
China.
This world has been so interdependent one country
on the other that if they actually force everything to stop,
you would have to do a whole new world.
Like, the system would have to be rebooted.
It'd have to be brand spanking new.
I want us to really go back to farm days.
I really wanna live on a farm.
That's what I wanna do differently.
I wanna have my own farm, I wanna have my own garden.
I wanna grow.
I wanna have a goat.
(goat bleating)
But then I think about those forms when you fly.
It's like have you been to a farm
in the last whatever it is?
I'm like no, why?
What am I supposed to be afraid of?
Let's just go with green.
Why not?
(groans)
I should of done this last.
(laughing)
Corona!
Corona corneas.
That's literally what I feel.
Like, this makeup is...
Listen, this is how I'm feeling.
This is me expressing myself.
Pray.
Meditate.
Really, girl?
Let's just go there.
This is what happens when you keep me indoors too long.
Oh!
Corneas.
Okay.
Leave it alone.
Okay, what was that?
I was about to just peace out this trick.
We're always going to grow, learn from this.
- Learn something from this!
- Until next time boos,
remember to do you, be you, and stay true.
Be shameless, live your life.
Fabulously.
