05:16It's the best.
05:18What's the weirdest thing you did to prepare for Love Island?

06:40I'll give it to Cordell.
06:42Name something that should honestly be smaller.
06:44I would say lip liners, so I always have mini bags.

07:30I just told them to mail me my diploma.

07:40What's a childhood story your parents always bring up?
07:44Our first animal, me and my sister were outside playing with snails.
07:48We had no animals at this point.
07:49I think we were probably like eight years old.
07:52My parents came out and they were so like disgusted that we were literally playing with snails
07:56that they took us to go get rabbits.
07:58Would you ever want to be in a reality TV show about your life?
08:02I mean, I always say never say never, but I don't think so right now in this time of
08:06my life.
08:06It's a no from me.
08:08What's a misconception about love that you've had to unlearn?
08:12I feel like I've had to unlearn a lot of stuff because I feel like I didn't have the
08:15best relationships with men up until Miguel.
08:18So probably literally everything.
08:20Not going to lie.
08:21Like he has reshaped my idea of love.
08:23What's a beauty secret you've learned from a family member?
08:26I give a lot of beauty secrets to my family members.
08:30I really do.

08:39I literally grew them out with lash serum.
08:41What item do fans want you to autograph the most?
08:44Two people came to my Skylar pop-up and they had me sign their titties.
08:47That was like everything to me.
08:49I love that.
08:50Who was the first person you said I love you to outside of your family?
08:54Probably one of my friends.
08:56I don't know.
08:56That's so long ago, guys.
08:58It was probably like four.
09:01What's a beauty product you have to buy more of?
09:04Most often sunscreen I buy the most and face wash.
09:08What's your most questionable beauty decision?
09:12I got Botox like in my, this area because they were saying that it would help with like
09:17migraines.
09:18I have migraines with aura.
09:19Fun fact about me.
09:20It's when like your vision literally goes out when you get a migraine.
09:23So they said it would help with like detention, but I don't think it did.
09:27So that was weird.
09:27And I did not like that feeling of having shit go into my shoulders.
09:31Disgusting.
09:32What is a recipe you make to show your love for someone?
09:34I love to make spinach artichoke dip.
09:37That's like probably one of my favorite things to make for people.
09:40But I also like to make like spicy vodka pasta.
09:42That's a fun one too.
09:43Do you think your pets would get recognized without you or Miguel present?
09:47Yes, it has happened.
09:48It does happen.
09:49When they stay at the pet hotel, they're stars.
09:53They're always like, oh my gosh, they're here.
09:55What is something you cannot buy but is essential to your beauty routine?
10:00Turning the damn lights off at nighttime when you're showering is so relaxing.
10:06I have a shower light in my shower like an hour or so, two hours before bed.
10:10I like to have all the lights dim or off at least and only be in red light.
10:16It's just so relaxing.
10:17And it is so good for your nervous system, for everything.
10:21It's just, it's, you guys got to try it.
10:23What's your favorite way to exercise?
10:26I am a 10K steps a day girl.
10:29I love getting my steps in.
10:31If I can go there on foot, I will be going on foot.
10:34I love it.
10:35Walking is probably my favorite.
10:36Then I would say hiking and then I would say Pilates.
10:38What's something you'd never want to do with a significant other?
10:41Probably like, you know, those like matching shirts where people are, he's my Mickey, I'm his
10:46Minnie, like that's horrible.
10:48Do you believe in love at first sight?
10:49Yes.
10:50When I saw Miguel Dimples and his accent, woo, that was a lot.
10:54What is an absolute deal breaker for you in a romantic partner?
10:58I hate when men are like really rude.
11:01I also hate when they are rude to like people around them.
11:06I know some girls are like, oh, I want a man that's rude to everyone but me.
11:10I don't like that.
11:10I think it's nasty and I think that it would show later.
11:13What fictional couple do you consider relationship goals?
11:18I don't know if I have a fictional couple, guys.
11:20I'm sorry.
11:21You watched The Office?
11:22No, that's a fun fact about me.
11:24I've never watched The Office in my life and I actually don't think it's funny.
11:29All the clips I've seen of it, I really don't think it's funny, like at all.
11:34I actually think it's really cringe and I feel bad saying it.
11:38Do you believe in feng shui?
11:39If so, do you think your home has good feng shui?
11:43I do.
11:44I actually do and I've set up a lot of things in our home according to it.
11:48What was the hardest day filming Love Island?
11:51Honestly, guys, every day.
11:53Every day was a battle.
11:55Every day was...
11:57I was tired.
11:58I was irritated.
11:59I was hot.
12:00I was bothered.
12:01I was upset.
12:03I was going through it.
12:04My last day was probably the best day because I was ready to go home.
12:08What's one characteristic you've had to change to become a better person?
12:12I guess probably be a little less defensive, I would say, because it's really easy to want
12:17to defend yourself, but I think it's also easy to kind of just let go and feel like free.
12:25Do you watch any sports?
12:26If so, what teams do you root for?
12:29We just went to the World Cup yesterday, but I am not really like a diehard sports fan.
12:33I'm not gonna lie.
12:34I like sports, I'll go watch it, but I don't have anyone that I'm like, ugh, I'm gonna like
12:39go to every game.
12:41Outside of family, who have you been friends with the longest?
12:45I have a lot of friends from like middle school, high school, college that I've been friends
12:52with for a very long time.
12:54I guess it's another thing that I would like to debunk.
12:56People are like, oh my gosh, she has no friends outside of like the social media circle.
13:01But it's like my personal friends have seen what comes with it and they don't want any
13:07parts of it.
13:08They don't want to be tagged.
13:09It comes with a lot of weird stuff that not even I was prepared for.
13:13So I'm not gonna broadcast them to the world because gosh, some of these people are weird.
13:18What should people with eczema avoid in beauty products to prevent irritation?
13:23One thing that I would say is I used to get the worst rashes on my armpits from my eczema
13:28when I would shave.
13:30So now I epilate my armpits.
13:32What's the worst date you've ever been on?
13:35There was this guy that I really liked.
13:37His friend, I would say his acquaintance, hit me up.
13:42And I was like, let me be petty.
13:45So he invited me to watch like a UFC fight or something.
13:49And he was having like a watch party.
13:50So I went to go to his watch party.
13:53Lo and behold, who was sitting at this watch party?
13:57The guy that I really liked.
13:58So he saw me walk in with his pal.
14:00That was pretty, that was a lot.
14:02I thought it was funny.
14:10I'm fucking scared.
14:14Guys, guys, guys, no, this is wrong.

14:23Does this count?
14:24I think they're just flying to me.

14:31My water with beauty electrolytes.
14:34Every day, I actually have it with me right now.
14:37Are couples costumes on Halloween cute or cheesy?
14:40I think on Halloween you get a pass.
14:42I know, I know, I know I said something earlier.
14:45He's my Mickey, I'm his Minnie.
14:48Like, that's horrible.
14:49Halloween you get a pass.
14:51It's a costume.
14:52Gold or silver?

19:07I'm a dirty martini girl.
19:09Extra olives.
19:10What pair of shoes do you wear the most?
19:12Miguel got me these little like slippers from an animal shelter.
19:16The proceeds went to the shelter and they're like little cat slippers.
19:20So probably those ones.
19:22What's your favorite late night snack?
19:24I actually do not late night snack.
19:26And that is because I would always keep getting nightmares.
19:29And I researched and it said if you eat a lot at nighttime, you are prone to nightmares.
19:35And I don't want to have nightmares.
19:37What is your most used emoji?
19:39A face with the little hearts floating around.
19:41What's the greatest prank you've ever pulled on someone?
19:44Well, I just got the hottest hot ones thing in my purse.
19:49So maybe I'm about to prank Miguel with it.
19:52So maybe the one I'm about to do.
19:54What kind of animal do you relate to the most?
19:57Maybe a horse, I would say actually.
19:59They like are really sensitive to energy.
20:01And I feel like I am too.
20:02Like if someone's upset around me, then I'm upset.
20:04Like if someone's happy, then I'm happy.
20:05So I'd say probably a horse.
20:07What animal gives you the heebie-jeebies?
20:09Oh my gosh, there's one animal on this earth that I do not like.
20:12Just one animal.
20:14And it's a grasshopper.
20:16I do not like them.
20:17I think they are disgusting and I do not want them near me.
20:20If you could cast someone to play you in a movie about your life, who would it be?
20:24Maybe my girl Indy or Selma Hayek because iconic.
20:32This is the very last question, but it's the most hard question.
20:35Which one of your turkeys is your favorite turkey?
20:39This is so rude and nasty.
20:42Probably Sora because she comes to snuggle me on my lap, which is funny because Miguel is
20:48actually the one who picked Sora out and I was the one who picked Rexy out.
20:52Sora just likes to snuggle mama more.
20:54Which turkey loves you the most?
20:56Sora.
20:56Do you want more turkeys?
20:57Yes.
20:58Dying for more.
21:00Dying.
21:00I want the white turkeys as well.
21:03My goal is probably like 10 turkeys.
21:05I feel like that's where I would be like really happy.
21:07How many turkeys is too many turkeys?
21:10I feel like it's just never enough.
21:12Maybe when hopefully Thanksgiving rolls around, like maybe I can rescue a few because it's
21:19really sad.
21:20And guys, turkeys are so sweet.
21:22Like, you know, Chick-fil-A needs to do that thing, the sign where it's like eat more chicken
21:28and it's the cow.
21:29Someone needs to do that for the turkeys.
21:31If you designed a fragrance based on your turkeys, what would it smell like?
21:35My turkeys, they don't smell bad.
21:37They actually smell like, you know when like your dog's feet smell like little Fritos?
21:41It's like that, but like just, you just want to pick them up.
21:44They're like this like cozy little comforting little thing.
21:47Maybe like a cozy smell.
21:49They just are, they're the best.
21:51I'm going to start crying.
21:52I love my turkeys.
21:53And what do turkeys actually smell like?
21:55They smell like their feed.
21:57And their feed is like in their water, like they have like rosemary and like oregano.
22:04They can't taste.
22:05They have like none of the taste receptors.
22:07So like we put cayenne pepper and like hot chilies in their food because it's good for them.
22:11But they don't smell bad.
22:12They really don't smell bad.
22:13I actually think they smell better than like our cats.
22:16I need to know how many I got through.
22:20You're lying.
22:22This is the most so far.
22:24I'm a winner.
22:26Fuck yeah.
22:27Glamour, thank you so much for so many excessive questions.
22:31It was a pleasure.
22:32I will see you next time.
