Then, my first job ended up being in beauty. I was completely self taught and would do people\u2019s makeup on the side while I was a student. I soon had the thought, you know what, I\u2019m an only child and love talking to myself all the time anyway, maybe I\u2019ll make a video and post it. I\u2019m not sure where my confidence came from because growing up I always wanted to draw the least amount of attention to myself as possible. I already felt so different, so I\u2019m not sure what possessed me to start posting videos online, but I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real from the start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d make videos every day between study breaks and on the weekends. I had a thirst for sharing all the little things I had learned online or just life tidbits\u2014even early on before I had a larger audience. There wasn\u2019t a word for vlogging at the time, but that\u2019s what I was doing. I\u2019m big into constantly being stimulated and learning and I find my industry an interesting place for personal growth. So, even though I kind of fell into it, I\u2019m happy to be here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my vlogs<\/a>, I really try to have meaningful conversations about whatever\u2019s on my mind and always try to speak directly to the person who\u2019s watching. I want my audience to feel as connected to me as possible and like they\u2019re a part of my life. From relationship ups and downs to any other emotional, personal bits I go through, I try to share them with the collective. I know if I\u2019m feeling a certain way and am needing to vent, there\u2019s probably a bunch of other people who are feeling the same way and will ultimately feel comforted by my vulnerability. Connecting with people on a personal level is my favorite part of creating content. It\u2019s always what keeps me coming back. I of course love the more superficial parts of my job too, like having fun talking about beauty and clothes, but the emotional connections are more dear to me. I aim for an overall good, big sister vibe on my channels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pockets of joy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As far as self-care goes, I think during the pandemic we all found ways to center and connect with ourselves. There felt like there was even more of an emphasis on mental health than before. For me, going to the park was essential. Just getting outside and spending two or three hours sunbathing, writing, reading, and feeling the grass between my toes did wonders. It was a bit of escapism that I really needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also just love making things beautiful. I\u2019m a very tactile person, so the medium doesn\u2019t matter as long as I can get my hands on something. If other people are involved, I feel even more motivated to create. For example, I love cooking for others and making videos for other people. It\u2019s kind of like a little gift from me to you. Like I said, honestly any medium is for me, as long as I feel there\u2019s room to grow within it. That\u2019s definitely a theme in my life: continuous growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pamper essentials\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to my beauty routine I am definitely low maintenance. That\u2019s why I make sure to use good products that work hard. I\u2019d much rather use fewer, good quality products, from hair care to makeup, that really make a difference as opposed to a lot of products paired with a high maintenance routine. After moving to New York and seeing how the girls value effortless beauty, I\u2019ve brought a lot of that minimalism into my own routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I do love a good pamper day from home. Ideally I\u2019d grab coffee and a great meal to take home then have a date night with myself in my loft<\/a>. I\u2019ll go all out and light candles and put on my diffuser. Then I\u2019ll either watch a movie or take a bath. Even just listening to music and zoning out for a little bit is one of my favorite things to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signature hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I also enjoy having a day where I do the most with my beauty routine. For example, I\u2019ll wash my hair, do a mask, and apply all my good skincare. One of my favorite ways to style my hair are my heatless waves. It\u2019s not a technique I originated but I have found that it works really well for my hair type. My hair is quite coarse, can be a little frizzy, and is somewhere in between poker straight and wavy. I used to dye my hair platinum blonde, which damaged my naturally dark hair so much. There came a point where it was so far gone, I was upset and couldn\u2019t believe that I had done that to my hair. So at that point is when I decided I needed to be good to my hair and use the best products possible. Heatless waves are a great way to style my hair while avoiding any heat damage, plus it adheres to my low maintenance style. I think there\u2019s a heatless waves hairstyle out there for everyone, it\u2019s just a matter of using the right products to suit your actual hair type. Knowing how to work with your texture and also finding something that works well with the kind of climate you live in is important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
