I use the Postmates delivery app all the time, even for my morning coffee. I can’t leave to get it because I need to look good in the morning, so I’ll spend $9 on a Starbucks coffee with half and half. That’s how committed I am to looking groomed on camera.
If I could only have one grooming tool, it would be floss. I don’t want to have broken Cheetos in my teeth. To protect myself from the sun, I can find shade under a tree. To moisturize my skin, I could get really sweaty and then just rub it on myself. But how are you going to clean between your teeth without floss?
I still have my iPhone 7 Plus because I’m just not ready for the 8 or the X yet. I’ve never had an iPhone before that I wasn’t ready to get rid of. But even though my battery dies so fast, I’m just still really attached. It reminds me of a giant Pop-Tart. It’s just so big.
I love having the Olympic Channel app on my phone because I can watch old gymnastics videos any time. I’m obsessed with gymnastics. It’s like my football. And I like to watch women’s gymnastics a little bit more than men’s because I live for balance beam.
I always keep a Beats Pill+ portable speaker in my bag, especially for when I’m doing yoga outside. I like to go on a journey with my yoga playlist. Usually at the beginning I try to set up a meditative grounding, something a bit more quiet, like Donna De Lory. Then I will usually build up to something like a Solange—it’s got vocals but it’s more a medium tempo. And then I’ll build up to something more energetic for the highest apex of my workout before I wind back down.
I love the “Presidential” podcast. It goes chronologically through each president with a lot of sobering but interesting context on our history. I’m still at the beginning, though. I’m still on Jefferson.
Since I have psoriasis, I buy anything that feels good against my skin. I tend to wear really, really soft hoodies by the brand Velvet. Even if I don’t have a flare-up, I’m still like: Oh. My. God. This nice thing feels so good.
