get ready and i'm gonna answer some of the questions i actually ought to ask me because i am doing a q&a and if you want to participate in the next one girl all you got to do is follow me on instagram and i look forward to the next one i don't do these often just because i like to you know answer a lot of questions on my blog so make sure you tune into those um i may have answered some questions that you may be curious about so yeah i'm getting ready to go to an event so i'm just gonna do my face i already did my eyebrows my skin is looking so good so the first thing i like to do when i get ready is my eyes and lately i've been into wing a liner it enhances the eyes good i do like to use scotch tape for my eyes just to give me that lifted look when i'm putting on eyeshadow because i'm not i'm not a makeup artist girl i'm just not and i do whatever works this is like the cheat code especially for liner if you're just starting out girl put some tape on your eyes for my base i am going to use the ink velvet um and the rosy nude just like i just showed y'all in the previous clips because obviously you can use this on your eyes and i really like how this looks it gives gives me a flawless effortless look so i am going to use this as my base for my eyes for the first question that is on here um how do you feel about the koela situation just koela reference that story is so crazy to me and that's why i just don't sit around a lot of people you just never know who really likes you for who's around you for you know whatever whatever connections they want to make with the other people around you you just really never know who you're really sitting next to unless you know like this person is my right or died this person would never do me wrong that's why it's so important to make sure you just don't be sitting around anybody that's why i only go on trips with a select a few people that case is still going on they're still figuring out what happened um if y'all aren't familiar but i'm pretty sure you've seen it all over the media shin koela robinson she went on vacation and she was with a group of people they jumped her and end up you know she ended up passing they lied and said she died from alcohol poisoning i don't know like the back story of everything but i know that she thought she was on a trip with her friends and you know i don't know what led up to that situation that made them want to do that but like i said before i just don't sit with anybody that's why y'all see me in a house like that you really just never know and it's so scary i want to be social i want to go on dinners and stuff like people write me on the time but you girl you just never know i have to really like be like okay like i'm gonna go sit with this girl too she's about if i really take my time out to go to dinner with you or go on a trip or even get to know you for real on a friend level just know it means something and also i can feel like i'm a Pisces and i can feel when somebody is in genuine i don't know god gave me this gift girl and i just peep little things that i'm just like no this person don't really fuck with me for real they're not genuine i'm not saying to anybody pacific i'm just saying in general i can feel vibes i go out vibes it's scary out here i do send my condolences out to shinquela robinson and her family i watched the interview when her mom was on the news and said that shinquela called her and then she never got to speak to her ever again and that is crazy there's so much going on in the world right now and i really hope her family does get justice my therapist she's like she can read me and she was like i feel like you want genuine connections and i'm like you're absolutely correct i'd rather have my small group of genuine friends than be around a whole bunch of people that just don't really fuck with me for real what happened to her is just not okay so i pretty much did my eye now i'm gonna just go in with some liner y'all have to go get this period period it's just a good base for a smoky effortless eye and you can just wear this on like a regular day basis if you wanted to by itself i just wanted to enhance it just because i'm going somewhere but it's just so good so make sure you guys go shop their black Friday sick what is the hardest thing about being a content creator love you love you too and probably the hardest thing of being a content creator is honestly editing it just takes so long me because obviously i'm just a person that likes to put together a movie i like to make my blogs make sense um and i love filming i love making content it's the editing part what is so annoying because it's like okay i gotta get fresh music i get so many questions on where i get my music from i get my music from soundcloud i was thinking about making a separate youtube page to you know make that easier for the girls but i hear the girls in the screen recording the sounds and putting in the dogs which is no problem you know it's do what you gotta do sis okay do what you gotta do but i don't see no shame in that i don't care it is what it is you know i don't gate keep where i get my songs anyways if somebody asks me where this song is from i don't normally like comment under my picture but if somebody will DM me and say hey where is this song from i'll send it to them maybe in the future i might get an editor but for now i really like enjoying editing them it just takes a while um when i'm editing it literally takes me a vlog will take me at least six hours minimum i just really have to plan out my day and make sure i don't have nothing to do on my work editing days y'all this wing is about to come out so fire pure to keep it all the way 100 being the struggle of being a um content creator for real is honestly being consistent that's really the key to growing your channel growing whatever platform you want to grow um that's the main question i get asked like how do i grow it's being consistent and i struggle with that as well grow especially on instagram i don't be in a mood to upload photos i just don't be in the mood to take pictures sometimes i'll get in my ruts where i'm like i don't want to picture i'll get dressed up cute but i won't take a photo tiktok is pretty a mix like it's like play play for real and that's the way i'm taking an instagram now i'm about to come back full throttle i got some looks come in so make sure you follow me but i'm really just about to play around at this point is big playground and youtube is hard too but it's a little bit easier because i don't have to get dressed up i can be my authentic self i can wake up however and turn the camera on whatever do what i do you know but instagram you gotta get dressed you gotta put on makeup and i do all this extra stuff it's easier said than done i can tell y'all all day be consistent be consistent but if you want it bad enough baby you gonna get that content done okay you gonna get it done period period point blank okay i want to show y'all this magic real quick period oh my god the wing is winging the wing is winging the skin is getting this is tea right here okay we're gonna move on to face um my face is pretty basic i think i want a matte face today but i'm still want to be glowy so i'm gonna add highlight um but i'm gonna use foundation instead of my skin tint but i'm actually going to mix it um tinted moisturizer and also the bonus way max concealer somebody actually asks a good question how much growth do you feel like you made since living in atl as far as like my youtube channel growing and stuff i feel like obviously um the numbers have you know went up but as far as my growth as a person overall i feel like i've really grown it's just about my growth overall it's moving to elena has really to the woman i want to be obviously i've seeked the therapist i've seeked wanting to be a better person just growing as an overall woman there's no limits on growth i feel like you're always gonna grow you're always gonna learn yourself you may discover new things about yourself you never even knew or feelings that you never you know really thought about but as far as growth i feel like i have grown as a woman for sure especially when it comes to dealing with other people and also protecting my peace not to be so defensive and things like that for sure um i've definitely have grown and also i want to i want to learn more because my mental and the way i carry myself and how i act and how i feel and how i handle situations in life is more important to me than a following but i've definitely made connections out here with people i thought i would never who are in the industry that that i can learn off of you know and just get motivated instead of staying in the same place can you describe the first time you were recognized by a subscriber i honestly don't remember it had to be sometime in milwaukee um when i got approached by a subscriber i think the very first time i swear to god i filmed this um when i went to poppados a long time ago she was off she was probably my first supporter that i've ever met at poppados yeah probably the first first one ever i was shocked i was i was shocked i was like what this girl is watching me you know i was just happy i was like wow like it's people in illinois watching my videos only illinois is like an hour but it was still like a special moment for me it was like a surreal moment like wow like people are really interested in my little online are really seeing that people are just living their normal freaking lives and just doing them and people want to watch it so don't get discouraged at all if you feel like oh i can never do that yes you can all you gotta do is just put your mind to it and put your back into it i could do it with your back into it i just watched the same last minute if you have the determination to do it you will but it was a special moment and i'll never forget her uh that video will always be there it's a it's from like a long time well i think um it was when i went to poppados or something and i think i i put her in a thumbnail too um and i think i said meeting a subscriber so yeah and if you're watching this hey girl is it hard staying is it hard staying your authentic self when you're around other it people love jazz hey jazz baby and no because that would be me faking it i'm never that's the one thing about me i'm never a fake person if i don't want to be around you i'm not going to be i'm really not that um i don't never use anybody for cloud i'm always going to be myself my authentic self and when i get around these people i want to turn up taking shots i'm going to like you know see what you are about like off camera i'd never switch up who i am to be around them or when i'm around them i'm always a good time i am a good time and that's just period show it's no reason to switch up and be alive you know don't live life alive i live in my truth honestly i live in my truth i don't i'm not you know right y'all see i don't have a car yet i i can't afford a car don't get me wrong i can't afford a car it's just that my mom wants me to go about everything the right way and i just have things coming up that you know that are gonna set me up for a good future with my business so it's just i'm not in no rush i'm not in a rush to fake the funk at all like it is what it is i pull up in a black truck but it ain't nothing that's the end of the day who got something to say there's nothing nobody can say about me that i haven't already told the internet you know what i'm saying i just it's just like okay in like okay you're judging you're saying i don't have so-and-so and okay so what what what you're gonna do what are your goals for 2023 and what lessons will you be bringing in from 2022 first off the lesson i'll be bringing is focus on your goddamn self okay focus on you big bro it's on you big bro no literally focus on yourself i've spent a lot of time focus on other people i've spent a lot of time focused on other things that don't even pertain to me aren't making me move forward aren't enhancing my life i just i'm not with it they look at their followers and they're just like oh i'm not growing for me it's not about the number it's just about the people that are you know engaged with my everyday lifestyle that are always liking always commenting always see this these people like i feel like i have a community of people because i'm always seeing these girls the consistent girls i'm always seeing the same faces on my instagram um i don't change my battery i'm always seeing the same girls on my youtube videos instagram and it's just like these are my girls for real like this is how i make these connections and when i see y'all in person it's just so surreal like it puts the face to what's behind that screen you know what i'm saying so i just really feel like um that's just a tip for y'all but a goal of mine for 2023 um i'm not gonna say it just because i am just i like to keep my goals to myself just because i just don't want people praying to my downfall but um for sure is to i definitely want you know some more collabs and maybe my own capsule something i don't know but i have other goals as well but that's one of my goals for sure so people are asking me when i'm gonna come back to london one of my trips for 2023 and also is there any other place i would want to live i'm gonna add the rosy nude to my cheeks so we can start setting this because baby i need to go the number one trip i want to go to is definitely london the babes are asking me when i'm gonna come to london and i want to go back to europe so bad pierce was such a fun trip there was a viral tiktok that went viral home girl was saying she didn't know like pierce was all for the you know the culture i literally said for her tiktok for the places she went to and obviously i want to go back to places that i went to um i want to go back to pierce and i want to go to london at the same time and also i don't know why i was thinking i was thinking um i don't know i would not mind moving to like europe for like a month or something i have a whole life ahead of me and why settle for living in the united states the only thing that is an issue with that is obviously i'm so far i don't know anybody and also what if it's another lockdown i can't come back to the us um in my family's here so that's the only scary part but i would definitely be down to busy i cannot wait to go back to europe just because my friend kenya had me thinking because she's now a resident of mexico and she was like are y'all settling just for you know living in elena so i was just like that is so true wow those are my main trips i definitely want to just go back to europe and you know just explore smile look at that look at that what do you what would you say your style of influencing was my style is basically living your truth well for me live in my truth don't be anybody else i just live my life i like to show off you know lifestyle perfume fashion from time to time a little bit of makeup little razzle dazzle um and yeah i'm just you know i'm going with the vibes that's my influence going with the vibes and if i like something i'm going to tell you that's my style of influencing going with the vibes being my own aesthetic where do you see yourself in the next five years i'm definitely setting up for generational wealth for sure um the next five years i see myself in house my dream car i'm knocking off my goals you know etc or that just like everybody else i'm trying to make it just like everybody use in the next five years we're going to be doing bigger and better okay and that's just period you heard it here first okay you heard it here first do you miss things about your small town sometime hell no what is there to miss literally there's nothing to miss i'm not missing out anything out there everything was so boring that's why i just had to focus on getting the fuck out honestly y'all there's really nothing going on in wascona nothing like i had a if you watched my past videos on me getting you know surgery and stuff i'd go look outside of the city for somebody to do my massages because there's nobody doing it everything out there just sorry i got putter everything out there is just slow and they're late to the party so i'm not missing anything out there obviously i miss my mama and my sister sometimes if you wasn't doing youtube what else would you have sought out to be honestly obviously i was going to school for nursing i'm one of those girls that i'm really good at science and math so that would be um something i would be into because it would either be what a nurse being a nurse or um i did want to be a pharmacist at one point but i didn't pass my pharmacy uh tech classes so i said forget it i started my nursing and then i started doing youtube and then i just put that to a pause and this is where we are so i would actually want to be a travel nurse because obviously they make more money i wouldn't want to stay in Wisconsin how do i get up at 7 a.m every day to go to my workout class so listen the key to waking up early all that i found that works for me and may not work for you but obviously is scheduling a class first of all i pay for it second of all my friend you know mikaela at first i was waking up by myself but she would call me and make sure i'm up or i'll call her but now it's like a routine once you get into a 21 day habit obviously it's like second nature and now my body wakes up naturally around seven six and just schedule a class you gotta pay for it because if you don't have nowhere to be it's like what's the point of getting up early you know what i'm saying of course i have my days where my body is like no which is fine listen to your body most of the time i'm like i have to get to it because i'm dedicated to this journey right now it's definitely not easy sometimes but i enjoy getting up early and getting done with my my workout is only 45 minutes and if y'all want to come to cycle bar y'all can shoot i've been meeting so many supporters up in there they're like oh i've been coming because of you yes this makes me wake up early and i'm like yes yeah you begin it up in um spin class and it's not easy the instructors are so motivating they'll be like if you want it to be comfortable you could have stayed in bed so that would just make you go harder it's just something to look forward to and also if you struggle with you know trying to schedule something early do it with a friend so she can call you and be like hey girl where you at like what's up what we what we doing because the first day i went mckayla did not show up she was the one that put me on to cycle bar because one of her client that i met her name was debora she goes to cycle bar literally her body changed so much from it but after that we were on it consistently and i was like hey girl like you need to get up we gotta go we gotta get to it also my days are longer and i i get more work done for sure i get more work done because y'all know they like savings so it really just stretches out my days for me which i can appreciate which i do like i just like enjoy i enjoy it i love waking up when the sun is rising i don't know it's just something i like to look at and what really motivated me actually was my sister when i went to go visit my mama and my sister she wakes up at 6am to go to her workout and i was like that needs to be me i need to get on it i need to you know get to it too yeah because if you pay for it maybe you gonna show up you're gonna show up because who who get in charge for no reason can you film how to edit a video when you have time um if it's highly requested i will but i just feel like sometimes those videos don't do good i mean you know editing is really your own style just put your own little ump to it you know what i'm saying there's so many videos like i was saying before there's so many videos on how to edit you just really got to put your own flavor on it you know your own flavor okay i'm gonna answer like three or four more questions and then we're gonna wrap this up and then i'm gonna do lip what happened to your um past friendships in wisconsin so i don't know why y'all assume that i am not friends with the people i am friends with from back home because i 100% am kisha's pregnant um i'm gonna probably visit her when i go back home she's pregnant right now but i'm just one of those friends where you don't i don't i have to talk to you every single day to know that you might be it you know what i'm saying um i just know and there was another question on how do i remind myself it was a question in here how do i remind myself that my friends really mess with me like how do i get those doubts out of my head okay so now we're gonna do a lip and this is the period period again and i'm going in with the rosy nude for my lip combo and i really like to overline it is so pretty and so buttery and then i'm gonna go in with the ink velvets girl we did a whole look with this eyes cheeks lips how do i get brand deals how do you get brand deals um i think said this before but um you i get brand deals because they come to me i'm not the type of person to write them there's nothing wrong with writing them brands just reach out to you and you know just want to work with you and if you really want to work with a brand you'll try to get their attention especially on instagram tick tock the girlies are posting tick tocks yeah i really don't reach out and also when i was coming up i would you know take the product and then really wear it and then um for instance with jbw when i was first starting off jbw reached out to me they wanted to send me a watch and i was all for i was like yes i want to watch i want to be blinked out you know and they were like oh um we'll pay you off commission and then i would get like little decent checks from them honestly from the commission and then obviously now i have a relationship with them and now they you know now they pay but it's always levels to it you know what i'm saying so sometimes you have to sacrifice not getting paid if you want a relationship with these brands there's been brands in the past that i really wanted to work with but they didn't want to pay my rate but that's okay i i still want to you know promote their products but now um now they see like the numbers coming in now they pay my rate you know what i'm saying now it's you know it's the really levels to it you know so sometimes you just gotta you know sacrifice and it's okay because at the end of the day sometimes you really genuinely mess with the products you're going to use it anyway you're going to buy it with your own money so might as well get that little extra get the relationship and go from there you know what i'm saying but like i said there's nothing wrong with reaching out to brands either hmm she looking chassis girl so um yeah i'm gonna get dressed make sure you go get peri peria shop their black
