00:00I'm not Gwyneth Faltrow yet, but I'm on my way.
00:06Okay, so this is like my big bag.
00:07Y'all know that you always have to have like a big bag
00:10that you keep in the car
00:11where you have all the things that you need,
00:12especially if you're going to the studio
00:14and you might be there all day like your girl.
00:16But inside my bag, I have my outfit bag
00:18because you already know I gotta have the full look.
00:20It's Chanel-y with the Chanel look.
00:22Get into it, girls.
00:22I have another bag in my bag.
00:24Yeah, that's right.
00:25Because, you know, you need to try to have some organization
00:27if you're a Virgo like myself.
00:28So that this is like a bag that's in the bag
00:31that helps organize the big bag.
00:33Now I'm going to start with one of my favorites.
00:35I always keep this on handy.
00:37My Mela B3 La Roche-Posay SPF.
00:40You can't be caught dead without it.
00:42Hyperpigmentation, skincare, making sure that you're well.
00:46This is going to keep you right.
00:48So I've always had this on me.
00:49I have this Listerine spray.
00:52Now I have a story about this, right?
00:53Because I did the pickup with Eddie Murphy.
00:55Maybe I'll say every hour or so.
00:58I would see him turn to his assistant and say,
01:00Binaca?
01:02And I'm like, what is Binaca?
01:05Literally, after seeing him do that through the whole movie,
01:08I said, I got to be like Eddie.
01:09My breath got to be fresh everywhere I go.
01:12Now mine's is not Binaca because Binaca's apparently
01:14this very classic vintage brand.
01:15So I got Listerine.
01:16But at the end of the day, on deck,
01:18your girl is like, spray.
01:21It was just so old school player to be like, Binaca?
01:24Lauren?
01:28Fresh as can be.
01:30Contacts.
01:31Holla at your girl.
01:32Yes.
01:32All the baddies are blind.
01:34That's just, that's how God made it.
01:36It's not my fault.
01:37I wear glasses.
01:38I wear contacts.
01:39I've always got them in my bag.
01:40Glasses in my bag.
01:41Because you never can, you know,
01:42you never know when your eyes get tired
01:43and your eyes are getting dry,
01:45you pop these glasses on.
01:46Yeah, your girl is blind.
01:49Now, I know this is strange maybe to some,
01:54but this is a lifesaver.
01:56You'll never know when you'll need food or sustenance,
01:59but there always will be hot water.
02:01So you drop this miso freeze-dried soup
02:05in a nice little hot cup of water
02:07and you get exactly what you need.
02:09I have an egg drop soup one.
02:11I have like regular basic miso with tofu soup one.
02:13I got a spinach and eggplant soup one.
02:17I literally just drop them in a hot little water thing
02:19and it's delicious.
02:23This is the mainstack.
02:24I've had a really fun time working on this show,
02:26The Burbs, that I have coming out on Peacock.
02:28It's like a remake of this Tom Hanks movie,
02:30this old Tom Hanks movie.
02:31My makeup artist on the show,
02:32she gave me one of these.
02:35I got Justin's almond butter.
02:38That's right.
02:39When you're working, my girls, you already know,
02:41in between each meal, you need to have a little snack.
02:44I got to keep that metabolism high.
02:46So got this right there.
02:49Eat that.
02:49But you know what's so cute?
02:50I also do with it.
02:51I got a nice low glycemic index situation with these dates.
02:56Yeah, I got dates to go.
02:58And I actually call dates to go.
03:02Do a little date, do a little almond butter,
03:03just a little snack in between meetings.
03:05Just like that.
03:06What else do I have here?
03:07Oh, more glasses.
03:08Like I said, you can never go wrong.
03:11Supplements.
03:12You know what's coming.
03:14I got selenium.
03:16That's right.
03:16This is good for something.
03:18I read it online.
03:19I'm taking it.
03:20D3 and K2 is doing something.
03:22I feel good.
03:25Ionic electrolytes.
03:27Now, I do know this hydrates me.
03:28When I turned 30, my knees started cracking.
03:30My hips started locking.
03:32I was popping and locking.
03:34And I just couldn't believe that it happened that fast.
03:37And I say, girl, it's time to start taking care of you.
03:39The real way.
03:41And I'm learning as I'm going.
03:42I don't know everything.
03:43You know what I'm saying?
03:43I'm not Gwyneth Faltrow yet.
03:45But I'm on my way.
03:46I will never trade the body aches for the wisdom that 30 gave me over the chaos of the 20s.
03:52Oh my gosh, I'm so glad they're behind me.
03:54Well, I've got a couple of things in here for Leo.
03:56My little baby boy, my son.
03:58He loves a car.
03:59This will help him real quick.
04:00If we're out somewhere, he's just like, we get his car.
04:03We start playing him.
04:05He loves that.
04:06I also have these partake cookies.
04:09Leo loves cookies and little snacks.
04:11Mommy loves them, too.
04:12Sometimes they go missing because she done ate them.
04:14Love those cookies.
04:15I've always been into giant bags because the problem is, though, you end up putting too
04:19much stuff in them.
04:20Like, for instance, why do I have the Just Kiki doll in here?
04:25Like, was I coming from the chute?
04:27Like, she just stayed up in here.
04:29You know what I mean?
04:29I wish we were matching today.
04:31That hair, we need to fix her wig.
04:34But other than that, mama looks good.
04:35We got her stand.
04:36She's standing up right.
04:38If you press her back, she goes, you know it's your girl.
04:42And then if you press her back again, she'll be like, in the case.
04:45If you press her back again, she'll say, call the list.
04:48Handle it.
04:49Which, by the way, that's from off script.
04:52And again, on the set of the verbs, my transpo driver, Nadine, her and her auntie put this
04:58together for me as a wrap gift.
05:00You can literally plug it into your phone, right?
05:03Make phone calls, all of that.
05:05But the great part about it is that on the back, it says, call the lawyers.
05:09Handle it.
05:10And yes, girl, I be calling that lawyer.
05:13And they be handling it.
05:14Shout out to Ken and Carrie.
05:16Y'all are the bomb.
05:17Why was Brandy's mom, one of the first people that my mom called, you're looking for advice
05:21with me?
05:22She said, get her a good attorney.
05:24And honey, she has saved me.
05:28Guess what else I got in my bag?
05:29My passport.
05:30All my travel baddies know what's up.
05:31And my son, he has a passport in here too.
05:33I'm not going to show y'all because it's too much information.
05:35However, his little baby picture, his baby passport picture, he was an infant.
05:41It's so cute.
05:42I'll be honest.
05:43I actually haven't been a lot of places.
05:45There are more places that I need to go.
05:47Like, I've never been anywhere in Asia.
05:48It's one of the places that I want to go so, so much.
05:51I really have only been all over America, a few places in Europe.
05:54I've been to Berlin.
05:55I've been to Budapest.
05:56Loved Berlin.
05:57I was surprised that people knew me in Berlin.
06:00And then it was interesting because some of them were knowing me from my Instagram page.
06:03People would be like, I love your dance videos and all this type of stuff like that.
06:06I'm like, that's crazy that you guys know me from this, you know, angle as opposed to
06:10the one back home.
06:12Oh, Croatia.
06:13Child, Croatia had the best nachos I ever had in my life.
06:16Could you believe it?
06:17I was in the Game of Thrones area where they filmed the Game of Thrones.
06:21I love Croatia.
06:22I had no idea that they was doing it like that in Croatia.
06:25I've been to Brazil.
06:26Oh my gosh.
06:27I saw Christ the Redeemer.
06:28I was up in there like, yes, Lord.
06:31Oh my gosh, Buenos Aires is so amazing.
06:33Now I feel like I actually have gone a few places.
06:36I named a bunch of things just then.
06:37This is random, but this is just me.
06:40This is just Kiki.
06:41I've got a whole bunch of $2 bills in my bag because good luck.
06:44Okay.
06:44I've had these for over 10 years.
06:47I'd say it's correct.
06:49Let's keep my little bag tucked.
06:50Oh, I have this Liss Blush.
06:52Oh no, this is Liss Contour.
06:54And then this is Liss Blush.
06:57I mean, I just feel like you never know what's going to happen.
07:00And at the end of the day, if you don't want to do a full beat, you can put a little bit
07:03of blush on, a little bit of contour, some mascara.
07:06This is my favorite mascara.
07:08Oh my gosh.
07:08Where is it?
07:09Let me find it for you guys.
07:09It's Tower 28 Mascara.
07:12I absolutely love, love, love, love, love this mascara.
07:14Now Tower, you better send me a bunch of stuff because I'm about to give a whole tutorial.
07:17So you're going to just, now this obviously I have a fake lash on, y'all know, obviously.
07:27But when I put this on, my real lashes, oh girl, you would think I was on Latisse.
07:34I'm almost done.
07:36Oh, I also love this blush by Danessa Myricks.
07:38It's a really good blush.
07:39It's again, another cream blush type of situation.
07:42What else do I have up in here?
07:48Oh, now these are disgusting, but so good for you.
07:54It's lipospheric vitamin C.
07:55You're literally going to put it in a shot of water.
07:57So let's say like, what would you do like with a shot of alcohol?
08:00Like do like water, maybe like a little bit more hot.
08:03Drop this in there, mix it, mix it up.
08:05The way that this is absorbing is so potent that it just, boom.
08:09Like I really, really, really love this so bad.
08:12What else do I have?
08:13What else do I have?
08:14A charger.
08:15I mean, because obviously.
08:17A pen, because I mean, obviously.
08:20But look how cute my pen is.
08:22It's for anything.
08:23Writing texts.
08:24It's also great for writing a journal.
08:26It's also great just for being like, do you need a pen?
08:29And showing people how it is.
08:31I love it so much.
08:32So cute.
08:33Speaking of journals, this is a journal that I just got.
08:35I've been keeping journals for a long time.
08:37Actually, Brandy gave me my first journal.
08:39And she wrote at the front of it, I am who I am because you are who you are.
08:42And there's actually a video, individual album called Amnesia.
08:46The video features this little girl.
08:48And I don't know, I feel like it's just very representative of what I hope to do for the next generation of young people trying to come up just like me.
08:57Just like Brandy did for me.
08:58You know, it's important that we have mirrors that reflect who we want to be and reflect who we can be.
09:03My typical music writing process actually is not, I don't write anything down.
09:06It's really a conversation.
09:08I'm talking, finding melodies, and then we're putting it together based off of what our conversation consisted of.
09:13That was much of what it was like working with Taylor on this project.
09:17Obviously, Taylor parts.
09:18But Offscript and Misunderstood are the two songs that we wrote first.
09:22And they immediately came out after a big conversation.
09:25So I have these headphones.
09:27I definitely do have the big ones, which are great and amazing.
09:30But sometimes I get so tired of wearing the big things on my head.
09:32They're like weighing my head down.
09:33And then I don't like the earbuds, guys, because it's like, who does?
09:36They're like always falling out your ear.
09:38Jeez Louise.
09:38But these are perfect.
09:40I'm a classic millennial girly, millennial diva, hands down.
09:43You know, it's your girl.
09:45Plug these in.
09:46Bada bing, bada boom, ba bam.
09:48What else do I have?
09:49Oh, these are Cheerios from Leo.
09:53Because, you know, he needs snacks.
09:55Remember, don't be a menace.
09:57That's the baby's food.
10:00And then also this is my Google Pixel.
10:03Because period, this is the boss phone.
10:05This is the emails.
10:06This is the decks.
10:06This is what I'm building my next pitch on.
10:09Okay.
10:11I really dumped this whole thing.
10:14Okay, I have a confession.
10:17I lost my credit card ages ago.
10:19I only pay via the phone.
10:22Isn't that crazy?
10:22Am I the only one that does that?
10:24I should cancel it.
10:24But I feel as if I lost it in my house and I just don't want to find it.
10:28You know what I'm saying?
10:29And it works on the phone.
10:30You can just beep.
10:31And it's done.
10:32I mean, everybody got the little pay thing.
10:34Google Pay, Apple Pay.
10:35It all pays.
10:36So as long as your card is plugged into your phone, I need to cancel that card.
10:43Confessions.
10:44Yeah, so I sampled the original song, Confessions, by Usher.
10:47The classic song, which I don't know why I did that.
10:50But I feel like it came out pretty good.
10:52The last item is, you know, and this is a special one to me, right?
10:55These are my keys.
10:56My keys aren't special.
10:57But what is special is what's on the keys.
10:59First of all, anybody that knows me knows I love Disney.
11:01I worked for Disney for years.
11:03I mean, it's a special, nostalgic brand.
11:06And for my baby shower, we had a bunch of these, like, little Mickey Mouse keys.
11:10We had, like, a bedazzled one.
11:11We had this one.
11:12So when I look at it, it just reminds me of, like, kind of like one of those last glimpse
11:16of who I was before my son was born.
11:18Because I'm a totally different person after he's born.
11:21So it reminds me of that time, of that really special time before those big changes that
11:25happen when you become a mom.
11:27When you're in process of becoming a mother.
11:30Okay, I don't know how I'm going to put all this stuff back in my bag, but I will.
11:33This is a jigsaw puzzle.
11:36I forgot about this.
11:53This bag is huge.
11:56Lifesaver bag.
11:58All right, that's all 8,000 things back in my bag.
12:02I'll see you next time.
12:02Thanks, love.
12:06Thanks, love.
