(alarm ringing)
- Oh yeah, I forgot you guys were gonna
be here this morning.
Thank God for these 'cause I didn't hear you coming in.
Industrial ear buds.
I got these when I got married
because my husband's a snorer.
So basically, when I wake up in the morning,
especially on a morning like this
where I'm headed to film yet another episode
of Pretty Big Deal, my podcast,
I like to set the intention of my day,
and part of setting my intention
is doing a bible study.
And I like to do it in bed
because once I get out of bed,
I have the urgency to check my phone
and to answer emails, get on Instagram,
so my intention is focused. (mellow music)
So, I have this awesome book,
and it's called The Magnificent Word of the Lord.
In the contents, it has all these different words,
like anxiety, loneliness, comfort,
conversation, it goes on and on and on.
You look up the word that you're feeling in the moment,
that week or that year, whatever you're going through
'cause we're all going through something,
and it takes you to almost every single verse
in the bible that it talks about that.
Conversation, what do you know?
"Use your tongue to bring you life."
There you go, so thank you, Jesus, for this day.
Usually, my bible studies are a little longer than that,
but we got Pretty Big Deal to go and record,
so here we go.
I like to also keep my hair up
in a bun because, you know,
David Lopez can give you a really good blowout,
and then you can just use it for the next day,
and I think this reflection is doing me well.
Let's go get it, kids.
Well hello, party people. (upbeat music)
Now, we're at my vanity
and I'm gonna take you through a little bit
of my skin regiment.
ZAO, one of the people I watch on Instagram who's like,
she's like a health,
everything's organic kinda person who uses it,
so I thought maybe I'd try it,
and I'm obsessed with this moisturizer.
I feel like every beauty blogger in the world
is using it right now.
Take two pumps of that.
Oh, moisture.
I like to look a little greasy,
and then you can go in
and powder where you don't wanna be greasy,
and then not powder where you wanna be highlighted.
You know, sometimes I pop a little vitamin C under my skin
if I'm feeling tired, but today I'm not feeling as tired,
can you tell?
We're also gonna do a little eye cream.
Some of these brands, I just don't even know
how to pronounce them.
Mazia, who's my facialist,
I just basically do whatever she says,
and after she gives me an oxygen facial,
I'm just like, "Okay, I want everything,
"I'll buy it all."
And you can't forget your SPF, kids,
especially if you're 30 years or older,
and even if you're younger,
you should be still protecting your skin.
I'm also a sucker for the Crystal deodorant,
but I prefer the spray 'cause I don't like
to have to get the stick wet in the sink, so
just spray a little bit of that on,
we don't wanna stink.
This is Neal's Yard Remedies
and it's an elixir, it's called Rose Sauvage.
Not savage, sauvage.
Just have a little bit of,
clearly I like this,
I need to order some more.
But, I use this kind of in my decolletage.
Just keep it all moisturized,
sexy, and it smells delightful,
like roses on my neck.
Oh, so good.
I also am a vitamin girl.
Ugh, greasy hands.
I have a holistic doctor that has me
on all kinds of, like, regiments.
I'm definitely not a hypochondriac,
but I do like to take care of my body
and my brain from the inside-out,
so I do all my vitamins,
a bit of energy, B-12.
Let me just fluff out this David Lopez
blowout from two days ago.
Thank you, David Lopez.
Now, on for a little bit of
makeup love.
Now, as some of you know,
I have a Revlon contract,
and I'm obsessed with pretty much everything.
But, when I'm on the go,
I don't like to do a ton of makeup,
I like to keep it really simple, really clean,
especially when I'm on my podcast
because I'm having conversations
with other women who I want them to just feel
as comfortable and themselves.
I try to just always dump everything out
so I can get to it very quickly.
I don't like to make a big fuss
and keep things nice and clean
because I'll just clean it up later.
Who has time for that?
So, I put a little foundation on my hands.
Sometimes, I mix a little bit of moisturizer
in with it.
Boop.
Take it, and then dab it all over my face.
I got made fun of in high school
for having foundation lines,
and I think I'm traumatized a little bit,
so I always take it down the jawline.
Sometimes, if I'm feeling a little tired,
I'll do a little bit of concealer under my eyes.
It's nothing major 'cause I don't wanna,
like, OD, 'cause I feel like
when you wear too much makeup,
it can make you look older or,
like, any fine lines you have,
it can just kind of seep into them,
and I'm 30, I don't have time
for any makeup to seep into my lines, okay?
Katie Jane told me that if you just put powder
where you don't want the makeup to move,
then everything else stays nice and glowy.
I think we need a time check
'cause I think I might be running late.
But, this is very normal in my life.
I'm always running a little bit late,
a little bit behind, but it's totally okay.
'Cause I feel like you have to feel
and look your best in order to go
into the real world and slay,
because you wanna feel confident when you leave.
So, if I'm running 15, 20 minutes late, you know what?
I don't really care because I know I look good.
Little gel.
When you brush your brows up,
you're brushing your life up, keep them high, honey.
I don't have any blush,
so I'm just gonna use a little bit of
gloss, just give my cheeks a little bit of color.
And, mascara.
Ta-da, she's ready.
(mellow music) I usually eat on the go,
I don't have the luxury of having a sit-down breakfast.
The yogurt, granola, fruit is in the back seat of a cab,
and I actually have to go
because Pretty Big Deal is calling.
Darcel, my assistant is calling.
Oh, lovely.
We've got crumbs inhabiting everywhere.
(hums) Alright, let's get this day going.
And that's it, I'm ready to go out
into the day.
Intentions are set, belly is full,
hair and makeup on fleek,
and I'm so happy that you got to come into my apartment
with me and spend my morning rituals.
Hope you get to take some home with you.
Ciao.
