00:00This is me last night at our road to essence festival party. But as senior beauty editor,
00:04a lot happens in a day before big events like this. On busy days, I set the tone by lighting
00:10a candle before hydrating with smart water and doing yoga. Then I reach for my journal to write
00:15out my to-dos and morning thoughts before grabbing some tea. After showering, brushing my teeth,
00:20and doing my skincare routine, I put on some makeup. Today I was super excited to try this
00:26new lip liner my favorite makeup artist Harold James showed me yesterday. Then I did a little
00:31fit check after meeting with a hair care brand I'm super excited about. I walked to do an interview
00:36with one of my favorite celebs who will also be at Essence Fest. I stuck around the hotel where we
00:41did the interview to answer some emails, write a couple stories, and edit a few as well. One of the
00:47stories was protective hairstyle recommendations for Essence Fest. Then it was time to head to
00:52the road to Essence Fest party. Here I am on the step and repeat. I of course had to bring my smart
00:58water with me because a girl's gotta stay hydrated, especially in busy times like these, okay? Then I
01:03took a little selfie in the beauty product lounge. I made my way into the DJ room where everyone was
01:09mingling and dancing and having a great time, myself included. I got my shimmy on. I ended the
01:16evening in the photo booth and I've never been to Essence Fest before, so if this was a preview,
01:21I'm even more excited now.
