- And so I was telling him if you're gonna rob me,
you might as well be handsome.
Oh, hi, sorry.
I didn't expect you there.
(playful music)
It smells like money, and I am manifesting money in 2020.
Oh my God, Noodle's manifesting a yeast infection.
(dog barks)
(bell dings)
Hi, everyone.
Thank you so much for watching this week's episode
of Tools of the Trade.
My name is Jonathan.
This is Noodle.
This is the show where we find out what everyday items
everyday entrepreneurs need to get through their day.
Today, we are going to be going
through the Monroe Steele box,
so for those of you who don't know,
Monroe Steele is a fashion blogger,
a lifestyle blogger, and an overall savant content creator,
who we've been working with for a little while now,
and we are so grateful that she took the time
to curate this box for us.
Monroe is someone who truly has made her own way
in the world.
She started her website, fashionsteeleenyc.com,
as a way to share some of her favorite items
that she would get while thrifting.
She is one of those people who is able to take clothes
that are really old, or clothes that are really new,
and mix and match them so
that she makes her own signature style
that a lot of people are inspired by.
You can see her looks on Monroe Steele on Instagram,
or you can check out her website to see everything
that she does.
Okay, so the first item we have
in the Monroe Steele box is...
Bohemia.
It's sort of a Bohemian square.
It looks like, oh, it's a candle.
Oh, it's a candle.
Wait, I'm going to open this.
So if you win this box, you will get the candle inside,
but this candle will not be in its packaging
because I am just about to remove it from its packaging.
Okay, so this is a, ooh, ooh,
you can smell it without even opening it.
Oh, yeah, that smells good.
Oh, this packaging is really cool.
Okay, so we've got a tiny little candle here.
Oh, it smells.
Ooh, this smells good.
Oh, it does.
Oh my God, it smells really good.
Noodle, what do you think?
He's blown away by it.
He was completely, I don't know if you guys saw,
but he just did like a back flip.
Did the camera caught while he did the back flip?
- [Man] It was just a little fast.
- It was yeah, okay.
So unfortunately the camera cut out
when he was doing the flip,
but I can guarantee you that he did it.
Monroe tells us that she lights one
of these whenever she's writing, 'cause it smells rich,
and she is manifesting success all year this year,
and I am so floored by that.
I'm floored by the swag of that
and floored by the confidence of it.
I think that that's absolutely brilliant.
She literally burns this
to incentivize herself to make bank.
You go, girl, that's how you do it.
They call that the Bezos.
Okay, the next item we have in the Monroe Steele box is...
Ah, it's a card reader.
You insert into your phone,
whether it's an iPhone or an Android,
and what you do is you can put in your SD card into this
to upload photos that you've taken on a professional camera,
like a DSLR, or something like that,
onto your iPhone for posting,
for editing, or anything like that, or your laptop,
whatever that might be,
so I think this is probably a need item
for anyone who wants to be really serious
about building content, and I know Monroe is hardcore.
She's posting new videos on YouTube,
on Sundays and Wednesdays.
She gives two new videos every single week
on top of the blog posts,
on top of the content she's posting on Instagram.
She's doing a lot, and this is probably something that,
for the longest time, was such a huge problem not to have.
Okay, so that's great.
This is a really cool item.
I think this is a very,
I can't believe I had no idea what this was,
but thank God that I have three other people in this room
to teach me and to guide me on this path.
The next item we have in the Monroe Steele box is...
A vitamin C tonic.
Oh, it's a brightening toner.
It's a brightening toner,
so I bet that she keeps this on her
at all times for photography, right?
Whether she's doing lifestyle shots around New York city
or she's at Fashion Week or something,
it is very important to always be photo ready,
when your job is to be online, is to be present online,
so this is something that,
obviously if you're a blogger or someone like that,
that's a great thing to keep in your bag.
There are some times where I'm walking down the street
and I'm like, oh my God.
If I were bum-rushed by paparazzi right now,
I would have to run.
I have to hide this swollen mug of mine,
but if I had this,
I can be ready for the camera at any time.
Now it's clear that Noodle has his toner on.
Noodle is ready for the camera, 25 hours, every eight days.
Okay, cool, so that's that.
The next item we have is, oh, I know what this is.
I know what this is.
We've got a matte lip pencil.
A lip pencil is always sort of wielded by someone
who knows what they're doing.
It outlines your lips, so you can get that good Kylie,
if you want, right?
You can be like,
"No, I want to have these kind of lips today."
So I bet this is another sort of tool
that she keeps in her camp,
so that if she wakes up for the day and she's like,
"You know what, I have a full day of creating content.
I have to go record a video,
then I have a meeting with a client,"
blah, blah, blah, whatever it is,
she's got a couple of her staple sort of makeup items
so that she always feels confident,
and she always feels ready to go.
Monroe, you're on it.
You are the real deal.
All right, the next item we've got in the Monroe Steele box
is a long gray stick.
Now, oh my God, I don't know what this is.
I'm gonna pull it out.
You know what I bet this is?
I bet it's a tripod.
I knew it, I knew it.
Okay, so this is a really great piece of equipment to have
because it's built specifically for your phone.
Having something like this is a great way
to help sort of amplify the access that people have to you,
because you're not gonna be filming
on some shaky little phone while you're walking
down the street.
This is a really nice tool.
Oh my God, another important piece.
It's a remote, so you can take photos.
So this is a little clicker, little clicker, little clicker,
bitch, and what you do is you set up your tripod,
little phone, and you can sit there and use this
to take photos.
You click this button,
and it will take a photograph from your phone.
So this technology is beyond me.
I do not know how this works,
but I do believe that it's real.
Monroe, you're operating on a higher plane
than the rest of us.
The next item we have in the Monroe Steele box is, oh,
Glow Habit Good Skin dietary supplements,
help to support skin, hydration, and texture.
Wow, okay.
Monroe, you and I are cut from the same cloth.
Hydration is the single most important thing
you can do for your skin.
If you are gonna go and you say,
"I want to have beautiful skin,"
or "I want to buy really great makeup.
I want to buy really fancy face washes."
If you are not drinking water,
if you are not hydrating your skin,
do not even bother to open those products.
They're not gonna do what they need to do.
Oh, they're vegan too.
Oh, they're vegan gummies.
That's really great.
Vegan gummies is really nice,
because especially when you're putting a gummy vitamin
or something like that,
they can throw a ton of crap in there,
like I know those Flintstone vitamins
and eat them like candy, 'cause they're just like covered
in sugar, so that really doesn't do the best for you.
It's like, yeah, you can be supporting some part of it,
but you are rotting your teeth.
So we cannot endorse this
for having any medicinal properties to it,
but Monroe swears by these,
and says that they really helped her
through some tough times with her skin.
Every 35 days, your cells regenerate,
so that when your cells do regenerate,
they're healthier, and they have helped her
to have better looking skin.
So that's me, Dr. Graziano is telling you
if you take these, you'll be gorgeous.
The last item we have in the Monroe Steele box is...
Oh, hi, do you want to see the last item?
Honestly, it was a no, but that was a really thoughtful no,
and that's okay, Noodle.
This is your show, and they're your rules.
This is a high-circulating fashion magazine.
And she uses this magazine to help her find inspiration,
and to pick vacation spots,
which I think is a fantastic idea.
There's some really top-tier fashion brands in here.
These aren't clothes that everyone can just walk
into a store and purchase,
but if you're someone like Monroe, and you say,
"Hey, this is an $1,800 Chloe dress,
I can find something like that,"
or "I want to find something.
I love that color, I love that cut.
I love that texture."
and then she's gonna go out and find something like that,
and then from there, she's able to build content, so again,
I think she's brilliant in so many ways,
and this is just one piece of the puzzle
that helps make her so special.
So that was the Monroe Steele box.
I am floored by how great it was,
and all the items that were inside.
I think anyone who is interested in pursuing their own blog
or even interesting in sharing some more
of their life with people on social,
I think this is one of the best parts
about sort of being a blogger.
If you are someone like Monroe
who works hard every single day,
who's built a successful brand, who works with partners,
and who's able to communicate with their audience,
and grow from the things that they tell her,
you're gonna be just as successful as she is.
More than anything in this box,
what she did is she showed us that she's thoughtful
about the kind of content that she shoots.
She is meticulous about how she takes care of herself,
and she lights a candle to manifest money,
and that's still, I think, my favorite thing,
