I’m so happy in this city, but I’m also thinking about the past.

I was really enjoying the freedom and the autonomy.

I definitely over-plucked when I was a teenager, and now they’ve grown back.

I lovePamela Anderson’s iconic brow.

I think that that’s cool.

I also love [how she’s been wearing no makeup]she’s really inspiring in that regard.

Yeah, a thin brow or even lining the waterline."

Her Biggest Early Aughts Beauty Regret

“I regret taking an actual clothing iron to my hair.

I laid my hair down and would iron it.

We were trying to get it mad straight, and we would stop at nothing.

I also regret tanning beds.

I would go back-to-back in the tanning beda really, really bad time for my skin.”

No one knows what’s right for you but you.

I hope that they are inspired to forgive themselves and whoever else that they are holding grudges against.

So I hope that people know that it’s ok to change."

I do another fragrance on topFrapin 1270 by Frapin Parfumsthat has pineapple notes in it.

The bottle is so worn down, and I have ordered it several times.

Sometimes, I’ll do an oil, too.

The Beauty Products Always in Her Bag

“I always carrytea tree oilwith me.

It’s a really grounding scent, but it’s also something that I can put on blemishes.

[I also always carry around] Jao.

Its my favorite hand sanitizer.”

Also, it showed me that I really enjoy doing things that scare me.

But once I break through that, I grow from that.

“I also discovered how amazing it feels to find community.

I didn’t realize how alone I had felt for so long in the music industry.

I started so young, and everybody was older than me.

Now, that’s not the caseeveryone’s youngerbut I still felt that sense of isolation for so long.

The Songs She Has on Repeat

“‘Provide’ by Sunni Colon.

It’s really kind of genre-meldingit’s really nice.

Im also listening to Samara Joy’s version of ‘Tight.'”

Music isn’t meant to be hidden on a hard drive; it’s meant to be shared.

Her Pre-Performance Routine

“I steam with a portable machine using sterile water.

I ensure that my passageways are open and my throat is as moist as it can be.

Her Self-Care Rituals

“I love a bath.

I will always go for a bath if I see one at a hotel.

Thankfully, I have one here at my apartment.

That’s something that I love to do.

I like to meditate, as well, even if it’s just for 10 minutes.

Those minutes are so important for my mental wellbeing.”

The Skincare Step She Never Skips

“I never skip mySPF.

I’m quite fair naturally, very freckly.

Life is too short to put something on that makes you feel silly, just because it’s trendy.

How Her Beauty Routine Has Evolved

“As I get older, I think less is more.

I used to be more harsh and heavy-handed with the makeup.

I’ve been wanting to look a bit more natural than how I did when I was younger.

It’s about pleasure, enjoyment, and feeling good about yourself.”

And I’m really excited to perform this new music.

Music isn’t meant to be hidden on a hard drive; it’s meant to be shared.

So I can’t wait.”
