Speaker 1: We've always had these conversations and we're like, we could
Speaker 1: talk about so many things. And the first time that
Speaker 1: I remember ever meeting you and I was so excited
Speaker 1: was my first brand trip to Benefit when we were
Speaker 1: in Keys. It was it was shout out to Benefit
Speaker 1: because they're really great. I love that brand so much,
Speaker 1: but I love the people that I went with. It
Speaker 1: was you, Jessie's and a bunch of other creators and influencers,
Speaker 1: and I just love that you guys made me feel
Speaker 1: so welcome on that trip, and I was like.
Speaker 2: You know what I feel like. As soon as we met,
Speaker 2: like everybody clicked and it felt like we had known
Speaker 2: each other forever, like honestly.
Speaker 1: Which is the beauti beautiful thing about social media is
Speaker 1: like you get to see someone and then you get
Speaker 1: to see another side of them when you actually meet them,
Speaker 1: and I love that. And we just related so much,
Speaker 1: like obviously like hate comments about our way and like
Speaker 1: we would crack jokes here and there whatever, and it's like,
Speaker 1: but it's the reality of the situation. You know, you've
Speaker 1: been in this industry, you've been doing, you do lives
Speaker 1: almost every day. You have your business as well, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I love the choice the color today
Speaker 1: so pretty.
Speaker 2: So I'm not even gonna lie. The reason I'm wearing
Speaker 2: this one because I had my eyebrows micro related.
Speaker 1: She's like, I need something to cover it, dude, And
Speaker 1: I used to when I had my banks is now
Speaker 1: I'm growing them out. They were a little annoying, but
Speaker 1: I would cover my eyebrows too. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: have to do them like perfectly, but yeah, I get.
Speaker 2: It, you know, I needs to see them peeling right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, which I feel like is one of the things
Speaker 1: you get the most hate on is about you wearing
Speaker 1: wigs all the time all the time.
Speaker 2: They're like, you have hair. Your natural hair is beautiful,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I know. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: I'm the only one promoting my business, Like I don't
Speaker 2: have a pair that works that way too, Exactly. I
Speaker 2: wear my products and when I go to events, you know,
Speaker 2: I promote my my shop and my entire family works
Speaker 2: with me. So it's like, if I don't promote the business,
Speaker 2: the business isn't going to keep going. So and I
Speaker 2: love them. They're so easy and I'm always late for things.
Speaker 1: And I'm always I know, because you always change. I
Speaker 1: think it's so cool and you're so unique and so
Speaker 1: detailed about every little thing that you do. Have you
Speaker 1: always been like that, like creative and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I used to like like jigsaw puzzles and
Speaker 2: coloring books.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I love all that stuff I do too.
Speaker 1: Just I love like, do you like doing this gave
Speaker 1: rooms and stuff? Yes, we're gonna do that.
Speaker 2: Keep my mind going.
Speaker 1: Yes, for sure. I don't know about the whole DIY,
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't make a dress for myself, but you know,
Speaker 1: I love Okay, Okay, I want to know about how
Speaker 1: you grew up because you are Puerto Rican you but
Speaker 1: you live out here what was your relationship like with
Speaker 1: your family and stuff.
Speaker 2: We were pretty it's a small family. My parents got
Speaker 2: divorced when I was like one, so that like never
Speaker 2: really affected me. I feel like I got two families,
Speaker 2: so I have like my dad and you know, his wife,
Speaker 2: who I love so much. He has other kids too
Speaker 2: that unfortunately they live in other states, so we're not
Speaker 2: as close as I wish we could be, but I
Speaker 2: love them very much. My Mom's always been like my
Speaker 2: number one. Love your dad, but mom is my number one.
Speaker 2: You have favorites, but I do love I love them both.
Speaker 2: But Mom has always been there for me, like just
Speaker 2: through everything, talk about like coloring books. We I didn't
Speaker 2: really grow up with like a lot of money, and
Speaker 2: so we just did what we could to get by.
Speaker 2: My mom was working like three jobs at the time,
Speaker 2: and like I remember, I always remember this one Christmas
Speaker 2: and I'll never forget that Christmas. And every time like
Speaker 2: things are going really well or things are going really bad,
Speaker 2: I always think of that day where my mom had
Speaker 2: no money to get me a gift and she went
Speaker 2: to the dollar store, and you know, like the dollar
Speaker 2: stores that are never just a dollar. She went in
Speaker 2: there and she saw this coloring book and it was
Speaker 2: three dollars and she had to ask for help for that,
Speaker 2: just to get me something for Christmas, and you were
Speaker 2: there and she was so embarrassed, and I loved it.
Speaker 2: It was like my favorite coloring book. And I remember
Speaker 2: I finished the entire coloring book and then I gave
Speaker 2: it back to her and I was like, it's all painted.
Speaker 2: I like, finished it.
Speaker 1: You didn't like let it go to waste or nothing.
Speaker 2: I loved it and like to her, like I always
Speaker 2: saw her struggle and how she was always trying to
Speaker 2: provide for me, and I always appreciated anything she like
Speaker 2: gave me. So that's how I am now too, And
Speaker 2: if I ever have kids, that's how I'm going to
Speaker 2: be too, Like I want them to just appreciate little
Speaker 2: things like that was three dollars meant the world to her,
Speaker 2: and it meant the world to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now it's different, and now you get to
Speaker 1: pay her back with like she works in your business. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I remember when I told her, I was like, mom,
Speaker 2: you get to quit that job. You get to quit
Speaker 2: that job. You're still gonna have to help me for
Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you don't gotta, you gotta probably now she.
Speaker 2: Was driving like three hours just there and then back
Speaker 2: wow every day. So I was like, no, now we're
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes away, you know, beautiful.
Speaker 1: Where did you live you? Okay, when did you come from?
Speaker 1: Were you born in pert Rico?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, so I lived there so I was eleven.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh wow, so you had lived a pretty good
Speaker 1: one of your life there.
Speaker 2: Literally all elementary school, and then I would visit every
Speaker 2: summer too, So it's like I was just both sides.
Speaker 1: What made you guys move?
Speaker 2: Work? So my mom, since she was working like the
Speaker 2: three jobs over there, she found one out here. And
Speaker 2: my stepdad's family was already here, so we were like
Speaker 2: in LA in Temecula Riverside. Okay. So my mom was like,
Speaker 2: we're just gonna have to move. And I hated it
Speaker 2: at first, yeah, because you know, when you're little, you
Speaker 2: have friends and stuff like that, and it's a big chain.
Speaker 2: I didn't know English, so it was tough.
Speaker 1: But how do you learn.
Speaker 2: Music and movies? And I forced myself because I was
Speaker 2: like I don't want to like show up somewhere and
Speaker 2: just not be able to like bend for myself, right,
Speaker 2: So I listened to music for the pronunciation of it
Speaker 2: so that I could be like on beat, and then
Speaker 2: for movies, so I would watch them in Spanish with
Speaker 2: English subtitles, and then in English with Spanish subtitles, and
Speaker 2: then in English with English subtitles, so I could see
Speaker 2: how everything was.
Speaker 1: She became her own Rosetta Stone. Was it hard in
Speaker 1: school and stuff though.
Speaker 2: Because you had to go to like the esl right,
Speaker 2: and then my Spanish accent is different. Yes, so there's heavy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Oh my, we did it. I love it.
Speaker 1: That's good your self, tyk. You've teld you everything basically.
Speaker 2: But now even in my lives, I still do it
Speaker 2: because I know how hard it was for me to
Speaker 2: try to understand just one language. So I translate everything
Speaker 2: in my videos.
Speaker 1: I know you do it so naturally and so perfectly.
Speaker 1: I'm like, my brain can't process like that. I'm like, she,
Speaker 1: you do it so fast, which is obviously good. Did
Speaker 1: your love for music come from them, like learning the language?
Speaker 2: No, So I've been singing since I was like four.
Speaker 2: I've always loved I want to know tell it, I
Speaker 2: freaking love it. Like my grandma used to take me
Speaker 2: to church and she would sing at church and stuff,
Speaker 2: and I just I love music. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love that for you? Is there any specific like
Speaker 1: you just love like the sound, you loved the singing,
Speaker 1: you loved everything about it.
Speaker 2: So that's something like people ask me all the time,
Speaker 2: like what genre, and I'm like, I like all of it,
Speaker 2: Like I just what I love is just music itself, English, Spanish,
Speaker 2: like I have like Indian music in my phone, Korean
Speaker 2: music in my phone. I like it and I like
Speaker 2: just hearing the different things that people can do with
Speaker 2: it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure, Like with my music, it's a little English sometimes
Speaker 2: a little Spanish. But what I really love I really
Speaker 2: love singing country ooh. I love country music and like ballads.
Speaker 2: Like my my personal preference is just give me a chair,
Speaker 2: give me a mic, and.
Speaker 1: Let's just vibe. Yeah and do it.
Speaker 2: I love but here I am doing. Don't think I
Speaker 2: can dance?
Speaker 1: Do you get hate about that too? Everything? Everything?
Speaker 2: There's anything I do? Any grass. We talked about the grass.
Speaker 1: She said that she got hate because she spray painted
Speaker 1: something on the grass and then everyone was mad about
Speaker 1: the grass. But it's like y'all are paying for the grass, and.
Speaker 2: Like can I ever, Like, what if I wanted to
Speaker 2: do like landscaping, I'm like, I can't touch the grass.
Speaker 1: No. Yeah, so yeah, either way, we're learning to be
Speaker 1: happy doing things for ourselves and you know whatever. But
Speaker 1: we'll get into that in a little bit. I want
Speaker 1: to know, Okay, where did when did you decide that
Speaker 1: you wanted to be just an artist? Because it's obviously look,
Speaker 1: you're an influencer, business owner and an artist. How what's
Speaker 1: in them? Lyne? Like, what's important most important to you?
Speaker 2: Honestly? Stability is my most importance right now, no matter
Speaker 2: what I'm doing. As long as my family's fed bills
Speaker 2: are getting paid, that's like the number one. But I
Speaker 2: love to sing. I genuinely love to sing, Like I
Speaker 2: can sing without a wig on.
Speaker 1: So it's you know, like like it's fun for you,
Speaker 1: Like is it healing?
Speaker 2: It is, especially when you're just in a mood and
Speaker 2: you you know, you want to sing something really happy
Speaker 2: or you want to sing something that you're relating to
Speaker 2: at the time and it's really sad and you kind
Speaker 2: of let those feelings go. Like I love that, yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's it's hard. I feel like when I when
Speaker 2: I was little I always told my mom, one day,
Speaker 2: you're gonna see me on TV, Like I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: like Disney Channel one day. Like I always liked all
Speaker 2: that stuff like theater and acting, and just to me,
Speaker 2: that was so like crazy, And I never thought I
Speaker 2: would make it as a singer, so I never actually
Speaker 2: like pursued it. I just did it for myself, like
Speaker 2: i'd sing in the bathroom. I do like competitions, like
Speaker 2: local competitions, like I did Riverside Sings three years in
Speaker 2: a row, and like I just I loved it. But
Speaker 2: when I started doing lives and I started the business
Speaker 2: and everything, I kind of just kept to the side.
Speaker 2: But I would do like my makeup lives and I'd
Speaker 2: always sing this song to my mom just to mess around,
Speaker 2: and I'd be like, mom, man for the beauty blender.
Speaker 2: And everybody was like you hit the notes like like
Speaker 2: you did sing And I'm like I wish and they're
Speaker 2: like do it. We'll support you, We'll you know yeah,
Speaker 2: And I was like, Okay, I'll come out with a song.
Speaker 2: And I came out with a song. That song made
Speaker 2: it to number one on iTunes, and I was like okay, slick,
Speaker 2: Like is this happening. Is this dream coming true?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And even though I still get like some hate for
Speaker 2: music because I get the another influencer trying to sing,
Speaker 2: another influence for that thing. She can do music.
Speaker 1: But I feel like you've been up singing for a
Speaker 1: while exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Literally, I did choir. I did, like I said,
Speaker 2: the Riverside Sings competitions. That was before I even had
Speaker 2: social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I remember, I remember when we were in
Speaker 1: Florida and they played your song and that was like
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty nineteen something like that. Here's ago, and
Speaker 1: even then you still had stuff before that. So it's
Speaker 1: like it's not just another influencer. It's like I think
Speaker 1: it's another artist being an influencer type thing, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, which you do both amazingly. Thank you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We're gonna go on a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back with Caddy lover all.
Speaker 1: Right you guys, welcome back. Okay. So what is the
Speaker 1: thing that you get the most hit on? What part
Speaker 1: of your life?
Speaker 2: Everything? Everything, but mostly my looks definitely appearance. Nothing I
Speaker 2: can do right. If I'm wearing makeup, I'm too fake
Speaker 2: for me. I'm fake if I'm not wearing makeup, you
Speaker 2: look sick, You're wrinkly, You're this, you're that, You're you're
Speaker 2: under eyebags. If I wear a wig, you're too fake.
Speaker 2: You have natural hair where your own hair, natural is better.
Speaker 2: If I take my wig off, you have a big forehead,
Speaker 2: your hair doesn't have volume. And then the receding hairline.
Speaker 2: Do you get that one hundred percent?
Speaker 1: I get that one all the come.
Speaker 2: I've had a since I was like twelve, bro like
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to do, Like.
Speaker 1: I can't pay for my surgery, pay for the hairline transplant.
Speaker 1: I know. I've seen it. I've seen people where they
Speaker 1: poke holes or whatever, and I'm like, you're that mad
Speaker 1: about my hairline?
Speaker 2: And then they go down the teeth. The teeth are
Speaker 2: too white, the teeth are too big. But I've explained,
Speaker 2: and the thing is like on social media, I'm very honest.
Speaker 2: I always say like if I put everything out there,
Speaker 2: people can't use it against me, but they still kind
Speaker 2: of do even though I'm open about it. Like my teeth,
Speaker 2: I had a really big gap when I was a
Speaker 2: little girl, Like you could fit straws like through my gap,
Speaker 2: and I had braces then I had him visil line,
Speaker 2: but they separate. They separate so fast that in like
Speaker 2: thirty minutes. Yeah, I don't know if you can hear that.
Speaker 2: This is with the Veneers, and they still separate, and
Speaker 2: I had to have them big so that it would
Speaker 2: kind of cover that space. And I still have to
Speaker 2: wearr a retainer, and they were they had to be
Speaker 2: big for that reason, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it sucks.
Speaker 2: And people are just like they're so wide, like it
Speaker 2: looks like piano keys, and I'm just like, dang, like.
Speaker 1: I didn't even say it.
Speaker 2: Like people are really bad at like someone just smiling
Speaker 2: because in reality, they're criticizing me because I'm smiling and
Speaker 2: it's sad. So it goes from like the forehead to
Speaker 2: the hair, to the face to the teeth and then
Speaker 2: the weight. One of my biggest struggles, like I was
Speaker 2: bullying when I was young, thinking that I was so big,
Speaker 2: and I look at my pictures now and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I really wasn't. But people just put that in your
Speaker 2: head and create so many insecurities. I had LiPo twice
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, that's all I need. I
Speaker 2: just need LiPo, And I realized that it wasn't even
Speaker 2: that what I needed. I was stress eating. I was
Speaker 2: battling and eating disorder. My binge eating was like to
Speaker 2: the max I could. I gained forty pounds in a month,
Speaker 2: in one month just from stress eating and binge eating,
Speaker 2: and then I started losing weight naturally. And people are
Speaker 2: still mad. When I'm big, I get bullied. When I
Speaker 2: lose weight, I get bullied. If I get surgery, I
Speaker 2: get bullied if I do it naturally. It's like I
Speaker 2: feel like with social media, you just don't win anymore O.
Speaker 1: And that's like that's the bad and good part, because
Speaker 1: this is what it kills the passion, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you have a passion to sing and
Speaker 1: to inspire people and to influence them. And then it's
Speaker 1: like do I even want to do this anymore?
Speaker 2: Yes, to mentally prepare yourself before you get on that
Speaker 2: camera all the time. But now I feel like it
Speaker 2: got worse. Like I don't know if you follow Chris Olsen, yes, and.
Speaker 1: I saw I saw clips of what He's.
Speaker 2: My heart, Yeah, my heart, because that's exactly what like
Speaker 2: a lot of us are feeling. It's like we really
Speaker 2: just come on to entertain and to make people's days
Speaker 2: sometimes just make them smile, and we get all this
Speaker 2: hate for no reason, Like we don't like go on,
Speaker 2: you know, on a cant to make anyone feel bad
Speaker 2: or to insult anybody.
Speaker 1: Or to make ourselves look bad.
Speaker 2: No, And I feel like now people are just casually
Speaker 2: just mean and it's normalized to just.
Speaker 1: When you thought it would be like a little bit better,
Speaker 1: you know, like I felt like it got a little
Speaker 1: bit better after COVID, you know, people started mental health
Speaker 1: started being more talked about, which was beautiful, like you know,
Speaker 1: going to the gym for healthier reasons, like for yourself.
Speaker 1: And then it just like keeps going down and down
Speaker 1: and down, and everyone hates you for everything. And I
Speaker 1: feel like the councel culture now is so toxic, like
Speaker 1: you will get canceled for absolutely any little thing, and
Speaker 1: it's like it shouldn't have to I shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: be scared or worried about anything, like or questioning what
Speaker 1: I'm doing because of the fear of getting canceled. And
Speaker 1: it's like, but then I get the fear of getting
Speaker 1: canceled because also this is everybody's livelihood exactly, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, And it's like the pressure of having
Speaker 1: literally having to be perfect, and it's like it's not
Speaker 1: even that I don't know, Like it's like I want
Speaker 1: to be natural, I want to be organtic. I want
Speaker 1: to give you what I have, but at the cost
Speaker 1: of also, like my mental health.
Speaker 2: Exactly yesterday I went live and I had a full
Speaker 2: on mental breakdown, like I had a panic attack, started
Speaker 2: crying on Live and people are like, well, why don't
Speaker 2: you turn it off? And I'm like, because honestly, this
Speaker 2: is the side of me that people should see. I'm
Speaker 2: not perfect. Do you think like all the celebrities that
Speaker 2: you see like on the big screens, they've never had
Speaker 2: a panic attack, They've never cried, they never go through
Speaker 2: like just normal struggles like yesterday I had a panic
Speaker 2: attack over something so stupid. But it's one of those
Speaker 2: things like when a lot of things build up and
Speaker 2: that one it was like it just sets you off.
Speaker 2: It happens to a lot of us. And I don't
Speaker 2: want people to look up to me and think that
Speaker 2: I don't go through those things, because I feel like
Speaker 2: that makes them feel worse, Like, oh, Candy, I want
Speaker 2: to be like you. I'm not perfect. I'm not perfect
Speaker 2: at all. I have like ups and I have my
Speaker 2: major downs. You know, like I show like the messages
Speaker 2: in my house, I get hated on it, and it's like,
Speaker 2: look in the mirror, nobody's perfect. You want to talk
Speaker 2: about my stretch marks. I'm sure you have some. They're
Speaker 2: beautiful because we all have them and we're women. We're growing,
Speaker 2: we're getting older, we're all gonna wrinkle, We're all you know,
Speaker 2: we're gonna have gray hairs. You know, we have razor
Speaker 2: bumps sometimes, Like it's freaking life, and it's so easy
Speaker 2: for people to just be like, well you have this
Speaker 2: or you don't have this, Well that's ugly. But it's like,
Speaker 2: how would you feel if someone said that to you?
Speaker 2: And not just once? Because yeah, you're saying it to
Speaker 2: me one time, that's not the only time I'm reading
Speaker 2: it in that day because from that one I get
Speaker 2: probably a thousand messages that are the same.
Speaker 1: So how do you navigate it? Then you personally like
Speaker 1: what are you doing right now?
Speaker 2: I'm going to therapy. I am to kind of like
Speaker 2: learn how to deal with it because I'm I was
Speaker 2: just always raised my mom raised me so well, Like
Speaker 2: my mom did such a good job. Like she made
Speaker 2: me into like the kind of person that I would
Speaker 2: never just go on social media and criticize somebody for
Speaker 2: how they look or what they do. I don't like something,
Speaker 2: I just keep scrolling. My mom always taught me, like,
Speaker 2: do not hurt anyone's feelings, like you don't know what
Speaker 2: they're going through, Like you're going out of your way
Speaker 2: to hurt that person and they might not read it.
Speaker 2: They might, but they might. My mom sees the comments
Speaker 2: that people leave me and it's horrible. Like she she's
Speaker 2: always calling me and she's like are you okay? Like
Speaker 2: I saw this, and I'm like I didn't see that yet.
Speaker 1: Why are we doing?
Speaker 2: But like it sucks like yeah for my family to
Speaker 2: get messages like you, oh you should have aborted her,
Speaker 2: Like you're bab No, you're lying. They've told my mom
Speaker 2: that she should have aborted me multiple times.
Speaker 1: See That's where I don't get it, Like I do
Speaker 1: not understand what like don't it like a school says
Speaker 1: like why do where does the hate? Where does the
Speaker 1: evil come from? Like what are you doing? It doesn't
Speaker 1: process through your head like what you're typing or what
Speaker 1: you're saying or how you're coming off, and.
Speaker 2: Then people will be like, well, you just have to
Speaker 2: ignore it. But I feel like when you ignore things,
Speaker 2: there's never a consequence, so it's just gonna keep happening.
Speaker 1: And I feel like for me ignoring it and reserving
Speaker 1: my like piece, my peace of mind, it's like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be fine, Like you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: there's there's the choice of addressing the consequences and then
Speaker 1: keeping your peace of mind and just staying quiet.
Speaker 2: And that was my biggest problem really when I ignored
Speaker 2: it and I kept it all in because I feel
Speaker 2: like it was.
Speaker 1: Bad for me personally. If I were to like say
Speaker 1: something or address every little thing, it's like I'm never like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna win and it's never gonna end, like
Speaker 1: it's always going to be something.
Speaker 2: But see what I do is I respond in a
Speaker 2: way to try to educate anyone else that might have
Speaker 2: that same thought of saying something, So like I'll explain,
Speaker 2: like if someone's talking about my teeth, oh they're too
Speaker 2: why they're this like you're disgusting. I'll literally just say, hey,
Speaker 2: this is what happened, this is why they're that big.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that you know they're not aesthetic aesthetically pleasing
Speaker 2: to you, but it's something that had to get done.
Speaker 2: And then some people will read that response and they're like, wow,
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Like I apologize forever talking about
Speaker 2: Like I've had people apologize and retract what they've said
Speaker 2: because they didn't realize the reason.
Speaker 1: People like to like talk a base judge without knowing.
Speaker 2: Without knowing that there's reasons for certain stuff. So I
Speaker 2: just try to ed educate them with kindness. I never
Speaker 2: just go off like I used to. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: try to.
Speaker 1: Just in the back of your head.
Speaker 2: You watch, I'm like, someone responses this person like just.
Speaker 1: I know, and I have to like bite my tongue
Speaker 1: and hold my fingers like just so that I don't
Speaker 1: cause it's just you know what, And it's I feel like,
Speaker 1: for me, it's a little bit more complicated because it's
Speaker 1: not just me that I have to worry about. It's
Speaker 1: my family and it goes back on, you know, my
Speaker 1: mom and all this stuff, and I'm just like like,
Speaker 1: I can't ever just be myself at the cost of
Speaker 1: everybody else.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's just so frustrating. It's like you will
Speaker 1: never win. And it's like, and again this is a
Speaker 1: to not say that we're not grateful nothing for where
Speaker 1: we're at, but it's like this is it comes with
Speaker 1: the price.
Speaker 2: But we also go through a lot of struggles. Yes, everybody,
Speaker 2: everybody goes through struggles, and everybody like feels different. You know,
Speaker 2: something that might not affect you can completely tear me
Speaker 2: down because that's just a mental thing. Like I see
Speaker 2: you see celebrities that honestly take their lives, yes, and
Speaker 2: you would think they're like the happiest and they have
Speaker 2: all this stuff, but you never know what someone's really
Speaker 2: going through on the inside, and you can't control it sometimes,
Speaker 2: Like I've been through days where I just start crying
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't know why I'm crying, Like
Speaker 2: it's just it's just happening. People forget that we're all human. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're all human. We all go through things and everybody
Speaker 2: gets affected differently. Like I see my mom and I
Speaker 2: relate so much to her now, Like before I be like,
Speaker 2: why she's so upset, Like we're okay, But now that
Speaker 2: I have also a responsibility for my own you know,
Speaker 2: like my whole family depends on me. They all depend
Speaker 2: on like whether if I don't post a video this
Speaker 2: day and I don't advertise and we don't make sales,
Speaker 2: their paychecks, you know, like I have to always put
Speaker 2: them first. And even if I'm not having a good day,
Speaker 2: I have to work. It's so much. It's a lot,
Speaker 2: Like I was, I was venting yesterday that I feel
Speaker 2: like I have to schedule my showers. I have to
Speaker 2: schedule my meals. I have to literally figure out when
Speaker 2: can I leave here so that I can do this,
Speaker 2: And you know there's nights where we have to pull
Speaker 2: all nighters and work on you know, like the business
Speaker 2: sides of things that people don't see because people only
Speaker 2: see what I show them on social media, which is like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I made a cute outfit. Oh we're gonna do a
Speaker 2: makeup tutorial. Get ready with me for my shows. But
Speaker 2: there's so much work that comes into getting all that
Speaker 2: stuff ready. Yeah sure, like just even ordering the inventory,
Speaker 2: dealing with you know, suppliers, manufacturers.
Speaker 1: The financing, all this stuff behind everything.
Speaker 2: My team like now that now that we're doing shows,
Speaker 2: like I have to make sure that we have like
Speaker 2: all the flights and everything. People are like, well, give
Speaker 2: us free tickets. I'm like, I know, we have to
Speaker 2: pay for all this travel, the equipment. It's hard. And
Speaker 2: then people are like, well, are you making all this money.
Speaker 2: I'm like, first of all, no one knows my finances.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, no one knows my expenses. Yeah,
Speaker 2: my expenses are insane. It's a risk, payroll rent because
Speaker 2: we have a warehouse now, the rent, the bills, like
Speaker 2: it's a lot. But people are just like, oh, you
Speaker 2: just make cute videos. That's all you do, and like
Speaker 2: that is not even. That's not even.
Speaker 1: And you're not the only one either. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of us, and I feel like it gets made fun of.
Speaker 1: We're picked at because you.
Speaker 2: Know, not a job. Yeah, it is a job, and
Speaker 2: when you have like a like you're like aware, like
Speaker 2: a like a physical business. I'm like, I'm doing my
Speaker 2: nine to five and then I'm doing everything else. So
Speaker 2: it's like I don't even know what the timeline is
Speaker 2: for me anymore. Because there's Thanksgiving, I'm at the warehouse. Well,
Speaker 2: everyone's with their families. I'm at the warehouse because I
Speaker 2: have to get everything ready for Black Friday.
Speaker 1: But that's where you got to set the boundaries. Too
Speaker 1: for your personal life, because I've seen you like, like
Speaker 1: you know, when we first started filming, I'm like, as
Speaker 1: you're not on live, you're traveling somewhere, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And obviously travel takes a lot of energy
Speaker 1: and a whole day of your life, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, and business and everything. So it's like when
Speaker 1: are you When are you gonna take care of yourself?
Speaker 2: Still finding out, I'm still trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: You gotta take a break you need?
Speaker 2: Is it because I'm gonna cry? I can't. There's no
Speaker 2: breaks because everyone's depending on me, and if I stop,
Speaker 2: everything around me stops.
Speaker 1: I know, but there has to be some type of
Speaker 1: like you need to take care of here because if not,
Speaker 1: you're gonna explode.
Speaker 2: I've been exploding, I know a few times.
Speaker 1: And I think it's important, like obviously, and then you're engaged,
Speaker 1: right or no?
Speaker 2: WHI one? Which one's Darren?
Speaker 1: Darren? I know, but I'm just yeah, sorry because I
Speaker 1: saw the ring and I'm like, maybe I should have sued,
Speaker 1: but you.
Speaker 2: Know, a long, long promise, right.
Speaker 1: No, But you know what I mean, It's like, when
Speaker 1: is the time for that? When is the time for
Speaker 1: you to like maybe maybe he's waiting on you too,
Speaker 1: or no, maybe they're never right. Let me not get it.
Speaker 2: Fill the team. I'm gonna spell it. So he wasn't
Speaker 2: a propose to me, and it got it got ruined
Speaker 2: how I was nominated and it was the first so
Speaker 2: I had won the two years before that, but it
Speaker 2: ended up being online because of covid H. So they're
Speaker 2: finally going to do it in person, and I guess
Speaker 2: he contacted the entire team because he wanted to propose
Speaker 2: to me at the at the wart show and they
Speaker 2: got canceled, like after he had everything, just everything planned.
Speaker 1: He told you though.
Speaker 2: He was pissed. We were literally driving in the car
Speaker 2: and he was like, I'm just gonna tell you and
Speaker 2: he was like I was gonna propose and they ruined
Speaker 2: it and everything's ruined. And then we go to Vegas
Speaker 2: because I did win the award. I was very happy,
Speaker 2: so he went to Vegas to celebrate, but I was
Speaker 2: upset that it wasn't like like tell it was just
Speaker 2: a list so of the winners, which I was like,
Speaker 2: I never got to go on stage and I never
Speaker 2: got to get like my little speech. But fine, we
Speaker 2: still want to celebrate to Vegas. I get drunk and
Speaker 2: I don't drink so like it's rare for me to drink.
Speaker 2: So when I do, like you give me like a
Speaker 2: little bit of just sprite and I'll be drunk. Like, oh,
Speaker 2: I was hammered. And my best friend's like, you didn't
Speaker 2: get there, like to experience the award and you didn't
Speaker 2: get proposed, so and I was like, but she punched
Speaker 2: me in the face. But I feel like now he's
Speaker 2: trying to set up this big thing and I'm like,
Speaker 2: we've been together for fourteen years. Yeah, just are you
Speaker 2: proposing to me? Or are you proposing to my followers?
Speaker 2: You know, like he he has built this like pressure
Speaker 2: inside of him that if he doesn't do it a
Speaker 2: certain way, people are gonna like be mad at him.
Speaker 2: And then but.
Speaker 1: You see that going through that that's totally separate.
Speaker 2: It is so sad because I know he's so excited,
Speaker 2: and he torments me about where the ring is. I
Speaker 2: know where the ring is? You do I do You've
Speaker 2: seen it? I have not. I have not because it
Speaker 2: has like a long pass code. I don't know how
Speaker 2: to get It's like it's in our safey. You have
Speaker 2: a safe and isn't there. I don't know how to
Speaker 2: get into it, but I know it's in there. And
Speaker 2: like every time I like walk by this and I'm like,
Speaker 2: and he's excited about it, but he feels so much pressure.
Speaker 1: How long ago was this?
Speaker 2: This was twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Okay, Darren, it's been two years. Chop it up, No,
Speaker 1: but I think, oh, I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, it's fine. But now I'm just kind of like,
Speaker 2: take your time. Because of that, I'm like, don't even
Speaker 2: worry about the social media. Like, if you want to
Speaker 2: record it, great, if you don't want to record it, great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like our relationship has been for so
Speaker 2: long that it already proves that, Hey, we've we've been
Speaker 2: through it, we've been together. Yeah, And people come for
Speaker 2: him hard. They're like, oh, he just he doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2: He just lives off of her. Like he's been there
Speaker 2: from when I was in high school. We were before
Speaker 2: you guys. He was the one working and I was
Speaker 2: going to school and he went to work, picked me
Speaker 2: up from school, dropped me off. He was giving me
Speaker 2: money because I wasn't working at the time, so like
Speaker 2: he was taking care of me. And then when he
Speaker 2: was truck driving. He was the one like driving like
Speaker 2: across the state and then would come back for four days.
Speaker 2: So I would only see him four days a month
Speaker 2: and he would come help me at the shop. So
Speaker 2: like he's been he's been there like through thick and thin.
Speaker 2: Like people don't see that he was there when I
Speaker 2: didn't have anything, and he's still here. And people are like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: now you're traveling and now you're losing weight. It's just
Speaker 2: amount of time before you leave him. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: absolutely not probably, I'm like what.
Speaker 1: Like why would people assume that?
Speaker 2: And he's always like he's like, whether you're chunky or
Speaker 2: you're not chunky, he grasps me the same way, the
Speaker 2: same way. I'm still bouncy because I'm Puerto Rican. At
Speaker 2: the end of the day, the booty not going nowhere
Speaker 2: loves it. He loves it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's your business.
Speaker 2: He's seen me out my biggest, out, my smallest, and
Speaker 2: he's been in it. It's fine, literally.
Speaker 1: But it's true. Why are so people, why are you
Speaker 1: so concerned about that?
Speaker 2: Well, he's never in your videos. I'm like, for like
Speaker 2: two hours a day, where's the other twenty two hours?
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's They'll be like, girl, where is he.
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's snoring right next to me. He's right there,
Speaker 2: just you know, and I put up with the snores.
Speaker 2: We put up with each other, and we communicate. The
Speaker 2: biggest thing I want to say for like someone that's
Speaker 2: traveling and doing social media and stuff like that, is
Speaker 2: to communicate. If there's something that he's not comfortable with,
Speaker 2: please let me know, and we make it worse. One hundred.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go on a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back with Caddy lover all right, you guys, we
Speaker 1: welcome back. You need a vacation.
Speaker 2: He doesn't fly.
Speaker 1: He doesn't fly, Okay, I get that, is it? He scared?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, so whenever I travel, I go with my
Speaker 2: best friend. And that's why people are like, oh, she
Speaker 2: just leaves him behind him, Like it's not me, it's
Speaker 2: not my choice. He's not comfortable, he's scared of it.
Speaker 1: And everyone has their own thing, and it's okay, okay.
Speaker 1: A staycation a staycation. You need to vegas, you need
Speaker 1: to get away and not go live for just a weekend,
Speaker 1: maybe just one weekend. I know, I know, but it's
Speaker 1: like you got.
Speaker 2: To get algorithm. The algarithms are ready for that.
Speaker 1: So oh that is so traumatizing. But it's like, I
Speaker 1: truly believe that in your mental peace, mental health, everything
Speaker 1: you need to take a break. I feel like you've
Speaker 1: been at it for a long, long, long long time.
Speaker 2: Yet since twenty sixteen exactly.
Speaker 1: But even before that, you know, you saw your mom struggle,
Speaker 1: you saw everything that she went through. So you take it,
Speaker 1: and you're just like.
Speaker 2: I gotta do it.
Speaker 1: I gotta do it so that so that you can
Speaker 1: protect her, you know, And I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna nothing's gonna happen in one weekend.
Speaker 2: It's terrifying, I.
Speaker 1: Know, but I look, just take it. You don't have
Speaker 1: to bad, just take it as a little course. No,
Speaker 1: like just recharge, refocus, receive, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like I do wish I could go back to like
Speaker 2: how it started, like where that passion was really not
Speaker 2: having to worry about Oh my god, today I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get hated on this and people are gonna not like this.
Speaker 2: Before I used to just sit do makeup and just
Speaker 2: hang out with the girls. And I miss I missed
Speaker 2: when social media was just you just go on and
Speaker 2: it's like your family and it's your friends are just watch.
Speaker 2: It's like a like a long distance spacetime with your girls.
Speaker 2: I miss that, and people don't support that anymore. I
Speaker 2: feel like even like makeup artists that are like so talented,
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, they don't get the recognition that they
Speaker 2: deserve for that talent. Now you have to like see
Speaker 2: what clickbait can I use so that people click on
Speaker 2: this video and actually watch it. What drama can I start?
Speaker 2: And it's like.
Speaker 1: People lose sight of the important thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they only want to see like, oh, what happened
Speaker 2: to her? Why is she doing this? Why what happened?
Speaker 2: I hear this?
Speaker 1: Did you see what they said? Well this? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I miss you. Remember the tutorials where it was just
Speaker 2: music and people just do their wake up Yeah, And.
Speaker 1: It was just like that was easy. I didn't have
Speaker 1: to talk to the camera. I'd wait at you know,
Speaker 1: look cute, leave the house, take my pictures.
Speaker 2: I miss those, Yes, now I do. I may have
Speaker 2: like let me tell you about it.
Speaker 1: And then you run out of stories.
Speaker 2: It's kind of I don't got dramas like it. Just
Speaker 2: I ate Burger King today.
Speaker 1: What did you go through today?
Speaker 2: They didn't give me the receipt.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know. And that's how you go
Speaker 1: live every day. I don't know how you do that.
Speaker 1: You know, TikTok banned me from live so I can't.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a blessing because God knows for what,
Speaker 1: for what, I don't know, like they just you know,
Speaker 1: like sometimes people report you, and I feel like so
Speaker 1: many people hate me that they reported me and I
Speaker 1: got banned, so I was never able and then I
Speaker 1: made another account to be able to go live, never go.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna take this as a sign from God.
Speaker 1: I do not need to live no, And it's totally fine,
Speaker 1: Like I'm good with it, don't need to do it,
Speaker 1: don't you know. And it's helped people are It's like whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm you know what, we live and we learn the process.
Speaker 1: I love what I do. I'm doing what I'm I'm
Speaker 1: allowing you guys to see. I'm entering my space as
Speaker 1: much as I want you guys to that's it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna leave it at that. We're gonna move on. You're gorgeous.
Speaker 1: You are thriving. I know that maybe right now you
Speaker 1: don't feel it, but I think that you know, your
Speaker 1: happiness is more important than what you're putting yourself through.
Speaker 2: I know I need to find balance. That's been the
Speaker 2: hardest thing. But the good thing is I do recognize
Speaker 2: the problem. It's just it's not a problem.
Speaker 1: That's not let's.
Speaker 2: Not and I'm grateful for the problem. It's a good
Speaker 2: problem to have, you know. It's a lot of like
Speaker 2: so so many like opportunities that I never thought I
Speaker 2: would get. Like like when they asked, they said your present,
Speaker 2: I was like.
Speaker 1: What, how was was it? It was rewarding for you?
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: I was amassed that whole trip, but in a good way,
Speaker 2: because it's like I'm not always like a negative mess,
Speaker 2: Like yes, I have my my really downs, but sometimes
Speaker 2: I'm just an emotional person and I'll cry out of
Speaker 2: happiness because I'm so excited. And you know, they asked
Speaker 2: me to be one of the live stream hosts and
Speaker 2: I was like heck, yeah, like I'm there, Like what
Speaker 2: am I ready to do? Like great? And then when
Speaker 2: I was there, they surprised me. They were like you're
Speaker 2: actually gonna be presenting on stage, and like everything hits
Speaker 2: to where like, I haven't touched the stage yet, and
Speaker 2: I've won awards and I've done this and I haven't
Speaker 2: touched this stage. And they're like, yeah, you're presenting on
Speaker 2: stage and you're you're I basically like it was in
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico. And then when they opened the envelope and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I need them passed up and I was
Speaker 2: like I need this about the work, and I'm like
Speaker 2: and in suddle, and you know, like even before going on,
Speaker 2: like on the live show itself, there's a commercial break
Speaker 2: and I have no idea if like the other presenters,
Speaker 2: like if they were like vibing in dancing with the crowd.
Speaker 2: But as soon as I walked out and they were
Speaker 2: like we're on commercial, I just chill like you're fine.
Speaker 2: I was like tworking and like on the floor dancing
Speaker 2: and saying hi to like the people out were there
Speaker 2: because I was so excited. And then as soon as
Speaker 2: they were like okay live and three, I was like serious,
Speaker 2: No one saw nothing like it was it. It was
Speaker 2: such a great experience.
Speaker 1: I love that I saw it. You looked beautiful, gorgeous,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure, like I said, it was rewarding, because yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's a different thing from getting invited. You walk
Speaker 1: the red carpet, they sit you somewhere, you know, and
Speaker 1: it's great, it's a wonderful opportunity. But then to be presenting,
Speaker 1: I think it just opened so many doors. And you
Speaker 1: have such like and you bring a lot of entertainment,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You know how to light
Speaker 1: up a room, you know how to talk to people,
Speaker 1: you know how to keep it going. And I feel
Speaker 1: like it's gonna take you so much more farther.
Speaker 2: And even just like the fact that I'm doing music too,
Speaker 2: I'm like stuff closer, Like I feel like the right
Speaker 2: doors are opening exactly, Like all the hard work, all
Speaker 2: the tears, it's it's paying off.
Speaker 1: It's gonna get easier.
Speaker 2: I think so too. Eventually, like one of them is
Speaker 2: going to take off to the point where I can
Speaker 2: still do the other just out of passion, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Because right now, like music is not
Speaker 2: making mon it's not paying my bills whatsoever. Anything, it's
Speaker 2: taking hearts. It's expensive because you're doing I'm doing it
Speaker 2: by myself to like I don't have like you know,
Speaker 2: like a like a big old label that's like putting
Speaker 2: all this. No, I'm doing everything myself out of pocket,
Speaker 2: and sometimes I'm like I should just quit, but then
Speaker 2: I get these opportunities and you know, like I've had
Speaker 2: artists reach out and just say, oh my god, like
Speaker 2: I've been seeing you keep up the good work.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like they like they're seeing you're recognized,
Speaker 1: you know, like you're not.
Speaker 2: Like I talked to we See and we sing, was
Speaker 2: like I see you like you have talent, You're doing
Speaker 2: so well and just know I'm here whatever you need.
Speaker 2: I was like, mom, we see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's.
Speaker 2: Crazy like people that I've always looked up to and
Speaker 2: now I'm like I'm in the same room as them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But that's also like how you're saying that I I
Speaker 2: have this personality that I like to entertain. And I
Speaker 2: think it's because sometimes when I would walk into a room,
Speaker 2: I felt completely invisible. I felt like absolutely no one.
Speaker 2: So when I walk into a room now, I want
Speaker 2: for but I want for everyone that's in that room
Speaker 2: to feel like they're being seen and they're being noticed.
Speaker 2: And like at the mall and stuff, like I've seen
Speaker 2: I've seen other influencers that people will ask them to
Speaker 2: take a picture and they're just like yeah, like whatever,
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, let's do it, like you want another one?
Speaker 2: Like how are you?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What's for me?
Speaker 1: Like I like I always compliment something about them.
Speaker 2: Too, always like I want them to yes, like I
Speaker 2: want you to feel good.
Speaker 1: Like recognize like you see me, I see you, you know.
Speaker 2: I want to be able like if I made your day,
Speaker 2: that makes my day. Yes, Like I don't ever want
Speaker 2: someone to like leave like either somewhere that I'm at
Speaker 2: or some be like oh Candy was like blah, like
Speaker 2: she was dry, she was mean, or she was never. No,
Speaker 2: I want everyone to feel just good because I know
Speaker 2: what it feels like to be somewhere and just feeling
Speaker 2: like you're just.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, And that's what they remember you by. Honestly, those little,
Speaker 1: very detailed moments like they remember it kind of just
Speaker 1: sets the tone. It's like oh wow, like they probably
Speaker 1: thought you were some type of way, you know, and
Speaker 1: then it's like no.
Speaker 2: I'm super nice. I'm so nice.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you how long have you had
Speaker 1: the shop open then, because it's has it been just wigs? No?
Speaker 2: So it started with phone cases. So I started when
Speaker 2: I was sixteen at the swap meet making phone cases
Speaker 2: by hand. So from the.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, ye, like the little creative juice is
Speaker 1: flowing a huh uh huh.
Speaker 2: I was sixteen, swapped me every Saturday Sunday because I
Speaker 2: was still in school and my mom was working, so
Speaker 2: we could only do it on the weekends. And from there,
Speaker 2: I started making them for influencers, like the like makeup influencers,
Speaker 2: and I would do them with like people's pictures and
Speaker 2: their names and they were so cute. I love my phonecases.
Speaker 2: And I started going to like the makeup events and
Speaker 2: I was like, this is so fun, Like this is
Speaker 2: so cool, Like these people were so cool. And I
Speaker 2: remember Patrick Starr was the first person that ever said
Speaker 2: you're creative. Why don't you do what you're doing to
Speaker 2: the phone cases but do it on your face? Really yeah,
Speaker 2: Like patrick'star really pushed me like a step further into
Speaker 2: thinking I could be more than just the phone cases.
Speaker 1: And that is like one of like the perfect examples
Speaker 1: because he's so creative, he's nice and like I would
Speaker 1: take advice from him, wow, And.
Speaker 2: I made him phoecuses for years and he just invited
Speaker 2: me to Miss USA with like beautiful insane and yeah.
Speaker 2: I started making focuses for the influencers and then started
Speaker 2: posting them online social media. My page started growing like
Speaker 2: crazy just from the phone cases. And then I turned
Speaker 2: eighteen and I was like, Mom, to go to college
Speaker 2: for a semester. But then I think I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: a break because I want to open a shop. And
Speaker 2: I was eighteen. So I did the semester and I
Speaker 2: was like, see my business, the way that I'm doing
Speaker 2: business is not the way they're teaching it in there,
Speaker 2: and they're saying that I'm wrong. So I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna prove them wrong. And my mom was terrified.
Speaker 2: I'm her only kid, Like my dad has other kids,
Speaker 2: but I'm her only kid. So she was like, you're
Speaker 2: leaving college like okay, And I was like, I promise,
Speaker 2: I'm dedicated, Like I'm gonna do this. And at eighteen,
Speaker 2: I opened my first door in Riverside, little thousand square
Speaker 2: foot shop. I started selling clothing. I was like, I'm
Speaker 2: not just gonna have phone cases because I have to
Speaker 2: make them by hand and it takes a lot of time.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna have clothing. I'm gonna have wigs, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna put the phone cases in there and jewelry, just
Speaker 2: anything from head to toe. And I had the shop
Speaker 2: for three years. I was doing okay. Then some safety
Speaker 2: things happened and I had to close unfortunately, but it
Speaker 2: did well, and I stayed online and I got depressed.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I'm an emotional wreck. I'm just a mess.
Speaker 2: It's fine, normal human things, it's just life. But I
Speaker 2: really depressed being at homemaking the everything and never going anywhere.
Speaker 2: So I was just like, dang, like I'm literally at
Speaker 2: home all day every day, I'm not doing anything. So
Speaker 2: I started going live and nobody would watch. It was
Speaker 2: just my mom watching and my makeup was atrocious. Like
Speaker 2: I don't know who was watching me back then. I
Speaker 2: don't know what camera to look at. But whoever was
Speaker 2: watching me back then was a liar because my makeup
Speaker 2: was not okay.
Speaker 1: I know. Do you go back to the pictures, You're like,
Speaker 1: have you seen the trend the eyebrow blindness?
Speaker 2: I had it. I had it like times one hundred.
Speaker 2: I did me with my things right now, Catherine, we still.
Speaker 1: Have the blindness, right, we're figuring it out. No, but
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I don't ever want to see those
Speaker 1: pictures and.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh my god, you're so good. I'm like, yes,
Speaker 2: I can conquer the world of makeups. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: This is the time where I was looking at my
Speaker 1: makeup like twenty like, I cannot believe I got invited
Speaker 1: to this event because of this glamor. I'm like, there's
Speaker 1: no way.
Speaker 2: And then they were complimenting you and you were just
Speaker 2: like it's killing it. And then you guys are lying
Speaker 2: you know what a flashback?
Speaker 1: Yes, so traumatizing. But anyways, you were saying that your
Speaker 1: mom would watch you whatever in your makeup.
Speaker 2: And all, yeah, and the people watching light instead of
Speaker 2: but it kept growing. But honestly, I don't think people
Speaker 2: watch me for the makeup. I don't think they watch
Speaker 2: because I do so many different things on life. I
Speaker 2: think they genuinely just watch me because I'm just a normal.
Speaker 1: Person, creative different things.
Speaker 2: I just I like to do different things, and I
Speaker 2: like to just play and be creative and have fun.
Speaker 2: I just have fun and even if I mess up,
Speaker 2: like I'll be like, oh that sucks, but then I'll
Speaker 2: find a way to fix it. So I go live
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, what are you guys? Doing like
Speaker 2: my day, my day was bad today, and then the
Speaker 2: next day, I'm like, what up, Like I'm.
Speaker 1: It's just a piece of yeah. Yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: So okay, So your mom and everybody works in the shop, right.
Speaker 2: Girl, my mom, my stepdad, my aunts, my cousins.
Speaker 1: You're taking care of everybody, taking.
Speaker 2: Care of everybody.
Speaker 1: Wow. And obviously because it's your own business, you got
Speaker 1: to promote it.
Speaker 2: And we went from that thousand square foot store now
Speaker 2: we have an eleven thousand square foot warehouse.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it.
Speaker 2: So I'm like the responsibilities back then, Yeah, but no bigger.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. But you know it was just me,
Speaker 2: like I and before I could take breaks. I could
Speaker 2: take breaks because it was the only person that affected
Speaker 2: was me.
Speaker 1: Now it's everybody. But you know what, bigger blessings, and
Speaker 1: it might get bigger, but you're going to get a
Speaker 1: bigger blessing with it a thousand person, it's going to
Speaker 1: get bigger. We're going to put that out there. You know,
Speaker 1: everything's going to get bigger. The career, every every little
Speaker 1: aspect is going to get bigger. And it's just going
Speaker 1: to be bigger blessings. God is just preparing you right
Speaker 1: now for it.
Speaker 2: I think what I really want people to say is that,
Speaker 2: like my music, I do take seriously.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I see a lot of people that you know, just
Speaker 2: throw music just to throw it out there. Like I
Speaker 2: take my music seriously. Like you can tell me to
Speaker 2: sing outside, tell me no, I don't need autotune. I
Speaker 2: don't need all these things.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 2: Like to sing. And I want people to see that
Speaker 2: and not just be like, oh, just the like we
Speaker 2: were talking about our ages, I want people to respect it.
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's going to be the next
Speaker 2: step into that part of the career is for people
Speaker 2: to see it. That's why we're doing like shows. I'm
Speaker 2: doing New York and I'm doing Texas, and I want
Speaker 2: people to come and see that. It's completely different because
Speaker 2: I go to a lot of concerts and I've been
Speaker 2: invited to a lot of concerts and it's really fun.
Speaker 2: But mine are just they're funny, Like literally we have
Speaker 2: a freaking blast. We'll laugh, and then we'll be crying.
Speaker 2: And then if I see someone crying, I'll stop everything
Speaker 2: and start crying with them. Like it's just but it's
Speaker 2: like a whole vibe, like it literally feels like, you know,
Speaker 2: when you go to like a family get together and
Speaker 2: this sounds really bad and I'm sorry to my management,
Speaker 2: they'll be like, why would you say that? But you
Speaker 2: know when you'd go and you just do karayoka with
Speaker 2: your friends and it's just fun. Yeah, that's how my
Speaker 2: shows are, like it's literally just us, like just hanging
Speaker 2: out and at the meet and greets. Sometimes I'm late
Speaker 2: to the show itself because I really want to give
Speaker 2: everybody that time. And yeah, I just I want that
Speaker 2: to be like the next step.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like for that to be girl, and I will,
Speaker 1: it will, And I think every all good things take time.
Speaker 1: The one you get in LA let me know.
Speaker 2: Oh you girl, you're coming. You're already there, You're already
Speaker 2: on the lib. I mean, if you want to go
Speaker 2: to New York and Texas with me, we got room
Speaker 2: of a.
Speaker 1: Sudden, I'm booked. I'm going to Texas apparently, guys no,
Speaker 1: but yeah, like I said, everything good things come with time.
Speaker 1: And I love that you said that. You just want
Speaker 1: the respect for it because it's not easy. It is
Speaker 1: not and I've seen it multiple times where it's like
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna say it takes your most money,
Speaker 1: it takes the most energy, it takes the most everything
Speaker 1: out of you to commit to.
Speaker 2: This, and some people want it for the wrong things too.
Speaker 2: Some people just want the fame and the money.
Speaker 1: The fame and the money, and it's like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you don't realize how how much it takes a long
Speaker 1: ass time to get money from doing music. And it
Speaker 1: is a commitment, Like if you're gonna do it, you
Speaker 1: gotta commit, and like be ready because it's not just
Speaker 1: going to come like this. If you want something quick
Speaker 1: and an answer like that, go find something else.
Speaker 2: Because people you're doing like small shows, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you start small, but if we can fill them up
Speaker 2: mm hmm. And I like, I I'm weird. I like
Speaker 2: the small shows. Lots people do personal.
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of artists even like Bad Money,
Speaker 1: he said, like this last tour, like he's like, I
Speaker 1: just want to go back to the clubs and like
Speaker 1: the small spaces everybody has said, like it's just like
Speaker 1: it's better when it's smaller and just feels more homey
Speaker 1: and obviously like stadiums are great, arenas are great, and
Speaker 1: like you know, I feel like that just proclaims a
Speaker 1: lot of yet, but it's like the homey feeling, the
Speaker 1: like the energy everybody all together, like when.
Speaker 2: You say familiar faces exactly. Like There's been some of
Speaker 2: the shows that I've done in the past where I like,
Speaker 2: I recognize people that follow me and I'm like, is
Speaker 2: that that Lisa Marie. Oh, she's one of like my
Speaker 2: my ogs. She's been there for years and I invited
Speaker 2: her to one of my shows. Actually, because I've built
Speaker 2: friendships with people that watch me, like literal friendships, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, these people live really far away. And there's
Speaker 2: been friendships that I've had in real life, like an
Speaker 2: online close that they just want something out of you.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I've met these people online that honestly,
Speaker 2: they just want to support and they just want a
Speaker 2: friendship and someone to just talk to them, Like I
Speaker 2: FaceTime my followers all the time.
Speaker 1: My numbers public, really, girl, that is a risk I
Speaker 1: could never.

Speaker 1: so much.
Speaker 2: Why it's particularly active, That's why it's you can't. You
Speaker 2: can't escape it on.
Speaker 1: The freeway when I'm in front of like the semi
Speaker 1: trucks or like a.
Speaker 2: Pole hanging from it. Absolutely not you.
Speaker 1: No, I cannot.
Speaker 2: Escalators, stairs like the ladders and stuff going over a
Speaker 2: bridge move.
Speaker 1: Do they ever tell you not to put your hand
Speaker 1: inside the sink?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I will never. I will never. That thing
Speaker 2: can stay dirty for life, like absolutely not.
Speaker 1: My sink is flooding, but I gotta clean up. I'm like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: the one time. Imagine I always think about the Devil
Speaker 1: never sleeps. That thing can turn off, turn on and magic. No. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you want to do those.
Speaker 2: Movies like just yeah, oh my god, it's it's unpredictable.
Speaker 2: You just never know. I But then I do like
Speaker 2: love like those pays and stuff like that. But I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's a person like come at.
Speaker 1: Me, which comes with like a whole nother thing. You
Speaker 1: gotta go to acting classes and all that stuff, right,
Speaker 1: which is another thing to add to the schedule.
Speaker 2: But you know what, I feel like people don't realize it,
Speaker 2: but I have a lot of bad days and when
Speaker 2: I go live, I just so I'm like, I feel
Speaker 2: like I have some experience in the acting part of it,
Speaker 2: I guess, So I don't know, and I do a
Speaker 2: lot of like, dude, I'm making myself sound so freaking
Speaker 2: crazy on this podcast is ridiculous. Like I'll talk to
Speaker 2: myself and just have these scenarios where I'm acting with myself.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, this is practice.
Speaker 1: No, you know what, Like it makes mean Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1: But it's like also when it comes to those situations
Speaker 1: like some like you just can't fake the funk, like
Speaker 1: you when you said you've you know, you had a
Speaker 1: panic attack, you.
Speaker 2: Blew up at one places. Yeah, sorry, mom.
Speaker 1: But this is normal, normal things. But you know, we
Speaker 1: got to take a step back and reanalyze and all
Speaker 1: that stuff.
Speaker 2: But I feel like it's like my little acting classes
Speaker 2: on the side.
Speaker 1: For sure, You're like if I could do this, I
Speaker 1: could do that. Yeah, I get it, I could see it.
Speaker 2: But from watching so many movies and stuff too, Like
Speaker 2: I feel like I've learned a lot of like how
Speaker 2: to act. Yeah, a lot of people try to overdo
Speaker 2: it to where you actually want to keep it just minimal.
Speaker 1: You know what, as a friend and someone that has
Speaker 1: seen you for a while and has admired obviously your
Speaker 1: creativity and everything that you do, because I could be creative,
Speaker 1: but your creativity is a whole nother level. You know,
Speaker 1: your brain is working at a million miles per hour.
Speaker 1: Like you make something for I'm all about your red
Speaker 1: carpet looks. Whenever you do something. I'm like, there's no
Speaker 1: way this bitch is doing this. Like she went as
Speaker 1: a hot cheetle. Okay, queen, go off like that is
Speaker 1: the passic.
Speaker 2: And I didn't wash the bag, so they totally smelled
Speaker 2: like it too.
Speaker 1: No way, so you smelled like a fart.
Speaker 2: I get, I got a rash.
Speaker 1: No, you know she's committed. She's a committed girl, you guys,
Speaker 1: please just I think, more than anything, if anybody's listening
Speaker 1: or watching to this podcast is learning to be kind
Speaker 1: and understanding and also appreciate the art of everything, you know,
Speaker 1: not just the music because obviously that's an art in itself,
Speaker 1: but the creativity here, your hard work for your family
Speaker 1: as well. Like it's a lot and.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are like, oh my god her outfits,
Speaker 2: Like it's so extra like yourself. I'm like, I love it.
Speaker 2: You step out, step out of your comfort zone and
Speaker 2: just do something that makes you happy that day, Like
Speaker 2: you want to like look funky for a day, look
Speaker 2: funky for the day, Like who cares? Like that person's
Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh well, yeah, like you look like crap.
Speaker 2: But it's like, did you enjoy it? Did you have fun?
Speaker 2: Like who cares? It's kind of like when I was
Speaker 2: big and people are like, oh, like, why would you
Speaker 2: wear that? Like that's so embarrassing. I'm like, because that's
Speaker 2: the body that I have today. Yeah, this is literally
Speaker 2: the body that I'm living in today, and I'm not
Speaker 2: getting that experience. I don't know what I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: this experience again. So I'm gonna enjoy the heck out
Speaker 2: of that day, not care what I look like. My
Speaker 2: arms are jiggling, jiggle away like.
Speaker 1: I'm no, but I admire everything that you're doing, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be checking in on you.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be going with me certain places.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be good out there. No, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be me. My main thing is how you're feeling here
Speaker 1: in them here.
Speaker 2: But wait, wait, wait, okay, you interviude me, But what
Speaker 2: about you?
Speaker 1: No, okay, tell me ask me something.
Speaker 2: Okay, where do you see yourself in three years?
Speaker 1: Three years? Okay, ware ware, you were we in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. We're in August. I do want to be
Speaker 1: I want to open a nonprofit foundation, whether that be
Speaker 1: for mental health or as I recently went to Cuba
Speaker 1: and I want to donate and add stuff and that
Speaker 1: touched my heart. So I want to do something along
Speaker 1: somewhere along those lines giving back. I love it, you know.
Speaker 1: I think in these next three years, I do I
Speaker 1: want to be more laid back, like I do want
Speaker 1: to get off the face of the internet for a
Speaker 1: little bit, because it's been a lot. It's been a
Speaker 1: long time, and I'm getting tired, very very tired of
Speaker 1: just things in general, and I'm just like this is
Speaker 1: not I want to start thinking of a plan BCD ABCD. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you know what I mean. I'm leaving my
Speaker 1: plan A but I need BCD. So whether that be
Speaker 1: like investing in other things and that helps me, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to just get off for a bit, so
Speaker 1: put myself in other businesses and step away a little
Speaker 1: bit from the internet.
Speaker 2: And what is it? What is like your number one
Speaker 2: passion right now? Passion right now?
Speaker 1: Ooh, my number one passion, I think taking care of myself.
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm like I was about you, because
Speaker 1: I stopped taking care of myself and taking care of
Speaker 1: everybody else for a long time. So I know what
Speaker 1: that is. And I would take care of people emotionally.
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm carrying the weight of other people's
Speaker 1: emotions when I'm not addressing my own. So like when
Speaker 1: you were talking about your family, it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my passion taking care of myself. And like obviously,
Speaker 1: like I said again, like the Cuba and like putting
Speaker 1: myself where things actually matter, like changing the world. Literally,
Speaker 1: I know it sounds so cliche, but I'm really big about,
Speaker 1: you know, making a change because yeah, obviously we're here,
Speaker 1: you know what we do here, We're making a difference.
Speaker 1: But again, it's at the cost of my mental health.
Speaker 1: And like so it's not change me, it's making me.
Speaker 1: It could make me more bitter and hate you know,
Speaker 1: certain things. So it's like, you know what, like I
Speaker 1: want to make a change. I want to do something
Speaker 1: better I want people. I want to be known for
Speaker 1: something other than just social media or being her daughter,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I don't know, there's
Speaker 1: just things that I just I feel like when you've
Speaker 1: been in this so long and as you get older,
Speaker 1: it changes. Yeah, And I'm just.
Speaker 2: And that's something people don't realize, Like we change, like all.
Speaker 1: All of us change, and it's like forbidden, Yeah, God
Speaker 1: forbid we change or whatever, and it's like no, it's
Speaker 1: like we learn six Like I'm going to be getting
Speaker 1: to my thirties, I'm gonna have kids, i want to
Speaker 1: get married, I want to fall in love. Like you know,
Speaker 1: things are moving.
Speaker 2: Thinking about that, so I'm like, do I get off
Speaker 2: the birth control?
Speaker 1: Exactly? Dynamic is changing, life is changing. Everyone needs to
Speaker 1: move along with the change.
Speaker 2: How old are you? I'm turning thirty, you're turning thirty. Yeah,

Speaker 2: I'm like, in five years, we're gonna, you know, try
Speaker 2: for a kid. It's I think it's been five years.
Speaker 2: Five years, yeah, in three and two.
Speaker 1: Okay, So now that you're here, do you want to
Speaker 1: now or do you want to wait longer? Now?
Speaker 2: I feel like there's no way. There's no way right now.
Speaker 2: And it's more of a I know the kind of
Speaker 2: mom that I'm gonna be, and there's no way I
Speaker 2: could have a kid right now. I will drop everything
Speaker 2: for my baby. I know how I am. I do
Speaker 2: for my dogs. That's not like when I seen them
Speaker 2: like friends, I love you, and that's something I do
Speaker 2: a lot too. So we get like the dog beds
Speaker 2: and toys and food, and we donate to like a
Speaker 2: lot of our local recues. For me, I would love
Speaker 2: one day to have like a dog sanctuary, like like
Speaker 2: a big farm. Yes, Like, oh my god, I've seen
Speaker 2: they have one in Poland. This is so random. I'm
Speaker 2: so sorry if this podcast is like, just kick me out,
Speaker 2: be like vigil what are you doing?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: But in Poland they have this like it's like a
Speaker 2: like a rescue, but it's individual like houses that look
Speaker 2: like a real house, and they train them so that
Speaker 2: when they get adopted they're ready.
Speaker 1: Like that's cute.
Speaker 2: It's the cutest thing.
Speaker 1: Which a lot of people don't like to do because
Speaker 1: they don't want to put the work.
Speaker 2: No, they have like little beds, and I'm like, it's
Speaker 2: a little house, like a real house, Like it looks
Speaker 2: like a house with a little yard and everything for
Speaker 2: each dog. And I was like, why don't we have
Speaker 2: this here? Yeah, because I've had to do videos, like
Speaker 2: at the Riverside Shelter because oh my god, the amount
Speaker 2: of dogs I can put down is ridiculous, and I've
Speaker 2: had to do videos and I go in there and
Speaker 2: I just see them. It's like it's everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's so sad.
Speaker 2: So we do a lot of that, Like our local
Speaker 2: rescues we give like the beds. I go to CJ.
Speaker 2: Max's they have the big, big ones, like the big beds,
Speaker 2: and we get these. And then City of Hope we
Speaker 2: don't eate weeks too. Like I also like giving back,
Speaker 2: but I don't like posting about it because I get
Speaker 2: hate for it. I life the grass.
Speaker 1: I know the dead grass. Where's the how's the grass today?
Speaker 1: Is it? Okay?
Speaker 2: It's painted, but it'll be fine. The gardener's coming tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's like a beige. I painted the thing.
Speaker 1: It looks dry. That's fine. It's somewhere it's hot.
Speaker 2: When everything's are having a bad air or someone's talking
Speaker 2: bad about you, like hit their grass.
Speaker 1: Did you see Candy spraping her grass today? Like why
Speaker 1: would she do? Like bro? What the fuck? Oh my god? Whatever. Anyways,
Speaker 1: we're talking about being good people, doing good for the earth,
Speaker 1: doing good for the dogs. I ruined it and no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's fine. No, But you live, I think, can you
Speaker 1: live in the perfect city to be able to get
Speaker 1: like a ranch or like a big ass something.
Speaker 2: And that's why I do it on that piece of grass.
Speaker 2: No one walks on that grass. That grass.
Speaker 1: I think that'd be so cute though, I think, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Just like love that, like I love dogs.
Speaker 1: There's a puppy I know where was the puppy beople?
Speaker 1: He was upstairs because if not, he gets too crazy
Speaker 1: and he jumps every on everything, and then he likes
Speaker 1: to be nosy. You see, he just comes being nosy
Speaker 1: and then he left.
Speaker 2: And he don't like matches, like the like the whole esthetic.
Speaker 1: It's like who are you and why are you touching?
Speaker 1: Why are you in this?
Speaker 2: But you know that's a good way to judge character
Speaker 2: for sure. If someone I feel like, if someone doesn't
Speaker 2: like pets to me, it's like, because pets, I feel
Speaker 2: like they're the most innocent thing. Like they love you unconditionally,
Speaker 2: like you could be thinking, and like they will just
Speaker 2: give you all this love. So I'm like, who doesn't.
Speaker 1: Doesn't I agree? And I didn't realize that until I
Speaker 1: had my like first dog, Like, because I think dogs are, like,
Speaker 1: you know, they're cute. I just never thought like I
Speaker 1: needed one to have, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: then obviously I got one. I'm just like, it's different,
Speaker 1: like you experience like he's gonna love me no matter.
Speaker 2: What, no matter what, like you're the highlight of their
