How long have you been vlogging? 2 years
What inspired you to start your vlog? I found out about the youtube beauty community, & I felt out of place! Most people on Youtube have been formerly trained or have worn makeup their whole lives. As a 32 year old mother of 3, I had never worn makeup and I wanted to reach women like me, so we could learn together!
Any words of wisdom for someone considering starting a vlog? It sounds so standard, but BE YOURSELF! While we all are doing smokey eyes & contouring, it is our own individual personality that people connect with!
How long have you been using Magic Links? I have used Magic Links for about 8 months.
What is your favorite thing about MagicLinks? I love the ease of Magic Links! I also appreciate how quick I get responses if I need help.
What feature do you find the most useful in Magic Links? I love how easy it is to see my monthly performance.
What advice would you give other Magic Links users to get the most out of the program? Use the tools!!! I feel like Magic Links is always coming out with new tools to make it easier for us!
Have any pets? We love pets here at MagicLinks! I have 2 furbabies!!! I big lab that thinks he is a lap dog and a little poodle mix that thinks he is a guard dog!
Favorite quote or mantra that you live by? If you aren’t changing it, you’re choosing it.
If you could travel anywhere tomorrow where would you go? I would go to Hawaii!!! It has been a life long dream of mine! I LOVE the beach!
Favorite Magic Links Retailer? Sephora!
What is one of the best comments you have received on one of your videos? My channel isn’t just about makeup. I am so transparent on my channel. I have spoke about growing up with a parent that is an addict, sexual abuse, domestic violence & my journey to Christianity. The most powerful comments are the ones from women telling me that I helped their heart, I helped them not feel alone, or I brought some healing to them by simply sharing my story as I apply makeup.
Where is your favorite place to shop? I love Sephora so much, but if I had to pick an overall store to shop at for everything, it would have to be Target.
What’s the best deal you’ve scored in the past month? I have been loving the deals from Kohl’s!!! I love that you can stack coupons and they are always having sales!
