A lot has happened these past couple days. Let's talk about it. I cannot stop thinking about the Dancing with the Stars finale. Every single finalist performed with so much heart, so much energy. Like, it was such a beautiful night. I was so grateful to just even be in the ballroom. Before Mark and I got eliminated, we had this idea for a freestyle that we worse really passionate, really excited about. No, obviously, when we got eliminated, we were really bummed. But then the Alex Cooper called and told us that her and ABC wanted to make this freestyle happen. I'm not gonna lie. Mark and I were a little bit overwhelmed because we only had two, two and a half days to put this whole production together. After we got eliminated, we didn't think that tier going to be able to share this with the world. Everything just kind of organically happened, and he said something that really resonated with me, and he said that I think just some art is meant to be shared. It's bigger than us, and that's what this piece felt like to the both of us. Some people think that I apply my blush very weirdly, but I learned this from professional makeup artists. I'll put the blush on the top of my hand because you're supposed to warm up the product, and then I don't wipe. I just dab. This is Merit's Flush Balm in the color cheeky. It is so beautiful. There was so much going into making that mashup of a song. Rank is such a talented musician. When he said he wanted to combine Frank Sinatra my way to the secret lives of Mormon Wives theme song, I was like, you are crazy, but it worked. My absolute favorite part in that freestyle was when Rank and I go to the mirror, we put on our lipstick, we wipe it off, like, it just it felt so good performing. It was amazing choreography, and I hope you feel something when you watch that part. I just finished my liner. This is my favorite lip combo. This is the color coupe. This is the color maple tier. Just wait till you see the combo. A lot of people have been asking me, you know, what's next? I'm shooting my first movie in December. So crazy saying that out loud. And, also, maybe I'll see you in New York.
