Hi my loves—this first video of 2026 is a real casual chit chat GRWM. I’m doing my makeup at night with nowhere to go (which honestly feels rare), and I’m just recapping 2025: the highs, the lows, my feelings, and why I finally decided to pivot. I talk about how the year started off great for me—mentally, emotionally, financially—and then how things shifted for me around late spring into summer, where I fell into a deep slump and just wasn’t feeling content creation the same way. I also get really honest about the behind-the-scenes reality of being a creator: it’s a desk job more than people think, it can be exhausting, and it can be unstable—especially when brand payments are net 45, net 60, or even way past that. I share the moment I knew I needed a change, why I decided to go back into the workforce (specifically commercial real estate), and how I approached the job search with structure—one hour a night—because I needed stability and I didn’t want to feel like I had to “perform” all the time. And of course, while I’m yip yip yapping, I’m also sharing the exact products I’m using—my same brow routine, my simple neutral eye, my extra foundation mix, and a setting powder I’m genuinely obsessed with right now.
