hello my frens it's nina and i am bare-faced yet again
which means we are doing a get ready with me
my skin has seen better days
my hormones are acting up
and i've been eating a lot of bread
which i know i shouldn't do
i know
but sometimes when you're stressed out
you just need bread
but that doesn't matter
my skin one day will heal
in the mean time i'm just going to deal with what i have
you two, y'all better heal soon
but along with this grwm i'm also doing a q&a
i asked you on instagram for your questions
but let's get started
also the makeup routine i'm doing is just my
"everyday 10 min makeup routine"
i have a video on it so if you wanna follow that
it's all in another video
but i'm just doing that. i'm not doing anything crazy
so the first question is
have you ever thought about dying your hair?
i think grey would look really good on you
i love you girlie keep flourishing
i hope you keep flourishing i hope you are thriving
i hope you guys are all thriving
i hope we are getting through life as best as we can
so i have thought about dying my hair
but i never see it as a reality because
i've never done anything crazy with my hair, i've never
actually
in middle school
i put highlights in my hair but i kinda did it wrong
the highlights came out brown
so i just had brown streaks in my hair
it wasn't anything really noticeable
but i also think grey would be a nice color
in general i just like grey hair
i don't know if it would look good on me
someone can edit a picture of me and let me know
maybe one day in the future if i'm feeling bold
i will dye my hair something
next question is
do you have a boyfriend or like exes?
this is basically a question about your love life
and also when are you gonna get married?
so the answer to both questions is nO
i don't have a partner
and i don't have exes
and i don't plan to get married any time soon
because i don't have a partner
so what's the point
personally in my life i just don't have
the attention span to have a partner
i'm just trying to take care of myself
make sure i'm thriving
make sure i'm getting somewhere
but also if something happens
then it happens
i'm not totally against the idea
of having someone in my life
but also i'm not really looking for that
it's not something i really need in my life right now
i really need concealer
but i haven't had time to go shopping
but i do need it
next question is
have you ever planned to do a meet and greet?
i would like to
but i don't know how to do it
i don't know how to organize a meet and greet
i don't know how to do that
i also don't really know where you guys are
but i would love to do that
it's just i don't know how to do it in an organized and safe way
if someone knows how to do that for me let me know
ideally it would be great if we can all just go to a convention
or if we all happened to be at a concert or something
maybe i can last minute arrange something
and the next question follows that, which is
would you ever go on tour?
now
ideally that would be a great thing
that would be fun
but realistically
i always just think about
what i would do on tour? i don't know what i would do
maybe i could start a music career or something
i don't know what i would do on tour so
i'll figure something out
maybe i could do a live painting with nina or something
or even a live cooking show
or we can just hang out
that works too
next question is
what's your favorite weird food combination?
i have one
but personally i don't think it's weird
when i did tweet about this
and people on twitter will know what i'm talking about
but when i tweeted about this food combination
i didn't think anything of it
but i got mixed reactions about it
i tweeted
once
about my love for
oatmeal, obviously made with water, not milk
oatmeal with a drizzle of sriracha on top
now
i got mixed reactions about it
and it took me a while to understand
but now i get it, i get it
you don't have to like oatmeal with sriracha
you don't have to like either
but that's what i like
i personally like savory/salty foods
and sometimes spicy food
so with my oatmeal i just put sriracha in it
because without anything oatmeal is just plain and flavorless
and sometimes i don't want maple syrup
or fruit in my oatmeal
i like to spice it up with some sriracha
it's not that weird, i think
next question is
do you workout or just eat really healthy
i used to workout
i had a gym membership
and i actually used to regularly kind of workout
i used to enjoy it
i may complain about working out and stuff
but i actually, when i do it
i was doing it well
probably like a year and a half to two years ago
i did work out
but now i just don't have the time to
and i also don't have a, actually no
in my college i do have a gym
because of the tuition and all that
but i don't have the time to go because
the gym is just all the way across campus
and i don't really have the time to go there
so i do have gym access
but i just haven't had the time to go
the only real exercise i do currently
is walking across campus all the time
and i kind of have to walk pretty fast
because i'm hopping from class to class
i'm also walking to my car a lot
because i do commute to school
so that would be my only real exercise
and eating healthy?
lately i haven't been eating the healthiest
but i think my lifestyle as it is
kind of makes me eat a little healthier than most people
i already don't like greasy foods
i don't really like the feeling of eating fried foods
so i kind of avoid it
and also i'm a pescatarian so i don't eat
a lot of meats
i don't eat red meats
i don't eat pork
i don't eat poultry
any of that
so that's kind of out of my system as well
and i don't consume that much dairy
unless it's like accidentally in a pastry or something
but i don't drink milk
or that kind of stuff because i don't really crave it
i also don't drink soda
so i think because of my lifestyle
i already naturally kind of avoid
foods that are not really good for you
so i guess that's why i maintain an okay lifestyle
but lately
i haven't been taking care of my health that well
i gotta take care of myself more
next question is
which other groups do you stan
and who are your biases from those groups
i do stan other groups besides bts
i know i talk about bts a lot
but that's just because they're the first group
that i started stanning
and so they're kind of my ult group
but i do stan other groups
and i do have biases for those groups
so i'm only going to mention the groups
that i have biases for
i listen to a lot of artists
but i don't STAN everyone just because
i only have two brain cells
and my brain cells can't do that much
so in no particular order
and i actually wrote them down so i don't forget anyone
but in no particular order
the groups that i stan along with the biases are
there we go
but i do listen to a lot of artists
so if you wanna check out who i listen to
here's my spotify
next question is
who is your favorite korean solo artist?
so i have two
two
solo artists that i really like
and they are
so dean
i feel like you guys know who he is
but if you don't
he is a solo artist
a korean solo artist
and he makes really good music
and his voice is literal honey
he's also a scorpio
i vibe with that
and then sunmi is my actual queen
i know she was from wonder girls
but right now she is doing solo things
and she's thriving
doing so well
next question is
from when were you an army
and how was the BTS concert?
so i found out about BTS
in may of 2017
that's when the 2017 billboard music awards happened
that's when they were first
nominated for top social artist
i found out about them through my mom actually
and then i fell down the rabbit hole
and now here i am
and how was the bts concert
i didn't make a vlog of the concert because
i was just way too in here
for me to pay attention to filming or anything
the only footage i got of the bts concert
was on my story
i mean it's a highlight now
but otherwise i didn't vlog it just because
when i go to a concert anyway
i don't really film that much
except for like 20 seconds of
a song
so i can at least have it in my camera roll
i'm not really on my phone that much
so i didn't get to vlog it or anything
but the concert was very good
i've been to concerts before
but i've never seen
that much performance
and that much choreography
it was just very overwhelming in a good way
but i was honestly for the most part just shook
i went on namjoon's birthday
on september 12
so it was pretty recent
actually no, it's november huh
so it was a while ago
but it was really good
the only complaint i do have about the concert is that
there was a person behind me
screaming really high pitched the entire time
she has powerful vocals
but it's ok she was having the time of her life
she was just
it was just a really high pitched scream so
but other than that it was a really fun time
actually on my instagram story
people thought that high pitched screaming was me
my voice literally
physically cannot go that high
so that wasn't me
but i didn't complain about it because
she was just having fun
same, except
i wouldn't be screaming that high
but it was really good, and i miss them
next question is
other than media studies
what would be your second choice of a degree?
so at berkeley
media studies was probably the major
that fit me the best
and interested me the most
but other than that i think
i would've probably done something visual
like film or even some kind of art
but then i wouldn't be at cal for that
i would be at an art school like my dad did
media studies was the major
that i would've taken because it's so interdisciplinary
and so i'm taking classes from a lot of areas
such as psychology, sociology, film
so i already learned a lot of stuff from different areas
which i'm thankful for
but otherwise
i would've done probably something visual
so at least i could've
focused more on art because
back in high school i used to be very art oriented
it's ok
i'm learning a lot right now in media studies
but i definitely would've liked to do film
or something creative
and visual
but i would've gone to art school for that
and that would've been a totally different thing so
i don't really like to think about
what else i would've done
next question is
how do you balance youtube and school?
this is a great question
i honestly
don't know how i've been managing so far
because i know for the last two semesters
back when i wasn't really doing youtube
that often
i was focusing a whole lot more on school than youtube
and so i would only post like every other week
than every week like i'm doing now
but i am managing right now just because i do
dedicate a whole period of time to youtube
and a whole period of time to school
the first four weekdays of the week
are dedicated to school only
and then the next three days
which is my three day weekend
is all entirely for youtube
and also on sunday i'll have some time for homework
it really is just a lot about
doing my best
and hoping that something comes out of it
next question is
do you sleep with socks?
i don't even sleep with pants on
so no i don't sleep with socks
next question is
do you have any irrational fears?
i have a lot of fears because i'm an irrational person
i'll at least just narrow it down
to my top fears
that i would consider irrational
and they are
natural disasters, bugs, and airplanes
now i know no one enjoys natural disasters
i don't think that's anything you would not be afraid of
but i think the extent of
the fear i have for natural disasters
is irrational
when i'm lying down in bed for example
i'll just be lying down on my stomach like this, right
but then i'll feel like a slight shaking
and i'll think that the house is shaking
and i'll think there's an earthquake coming
and i honestly freak out
but it's just my pulse
so i constantly think
that there's gonna be an earthquake
but it's really just my heartbeat
and sometimes my arm or leg twitches on its own
and then i think the house is shaking as well
but it's just my body
but i have a fear of earthquakes
and tsunamis and things that are just out of my control
i'm also frickin afraid of bugs
especially insects that can fly and make buzzing sounds
because you can't escape those
and it's just like
no no no
like, i hate wasps, and i hate
wasps
sometimes moths, it's just moths are kind of freaky
how do you say it? moths?
moths? moth?
and also moths like
how do i say moths?
i don't like moths
they are just broken butterflies
and they fly freaky
and they're very dusty
and then butterflies, like i get it
but they also kinda freak me out
but also i wouldn't kill a bug
because i don't wanna do that
so, they just freak me out
i would just like it if they left me alone
and bees?
i appreciate what bees do
i think bees are amazing
they do so much for the planet
but personally i am scared of them
i think they're doing a great job, it's just
the buzzing sound, and the flying
kinda freaks me out
but i won't kill them or bother them
because bees are good for the planet
so save the bees
but also if bees can just stay away from me
that'd be great too
but anyway i hate wasps
and then also i have an irrational fear of airplanes
it's not that
it's like, i can be on an airplane
i can be on an airplane
but i always have a fear that
the tail of the airplane's just gonna snap off
as we take off
and then i always am scared when we're landing
the whole shaking and whatever's just freaky
and also i just don't understand
how an airplane can be in the sky for that long
like i know it's physics and engineering but
how does it stay in the sky for that long
anyway
i do like traveling but
it's scary
next question is
would you consider the idea of
making a video spoken in korean?
ummmmmm
i'm not fully against the idea, but also
speaking a language is hard
you know
even speaking english is hard for me
speaking in front of a camera is already pretty difficult
and if i'm speaking a language that
i'm not so comfortable speaking
it's just gonna be a hard time so
but i spoke a little bit of korean in my last video
which already was pretty difficult for me
it took a lot of courage in me
to keep that in the video
i speak korean 70-80% of the time at home
so it's kind of natural for me to speak korean
but my pronunciation still sucks
and that's because i have an american mouth
and so we just pronounce everything
pretty badly anyway
i don't know
if i want to then maybe but i still have to learn a lot
my eyes are very glittery
wow
when i'm doing a get ready with me
and talking at the same time
i forget what i'm doing and
so i've been on this step for so long
i don't even know where i'm at right now
next question is
will you make another art related video
in the near future?
so i know i used to make art videos in the past
and that's probably what a lot of you guys know me for
so it does bum me out that i haven't
made an art related video recently
but i will say
i actually tried filming
a painting with nina like a few months ago
it was pretty recent
i actually tried doing a painting with nina
i have the canvas
i was painting a picture of peaches, right
it was a still life
i was actually trying
and there were peaches here
like you could probably kind of see it
probably not
but anyway
i was painting
and then as i got into it
i started getting tired
and i started dissociating
and then i just gave up
and then i scribbled everything that i painted
i got so frustrated that i just scribbled it
all into this one mess, actually you can see it right here
see there were many different colors
but i gave up and so i
kind of messed everything up
and now it's this one blank color
that also happens to match my sweater
but i do want to do more art related videos in the future
because i do, or at least i did enjoy painting
but it's just i don't have that kind of time
with the internet and whatever, and with social media
people think that making art is very fast and very simple
but it's still a very long process
one day when i have more time
especially since my semester's almost over
i literally have a few weeks left
maybe i'll get back into it
but don't worry
i haven't given up on art yet
it's literally part of my being
if i don't have art in my life
i don't know who i am
the only art that i have the time for lately
is just digital art on my ipad pro
i use the
adobe photoshop sketch app
and i just doodle on that
i have some doodles on my instagram
as a highlight
i just said doodle so many times right now
it sounds weird now
but that's kind of what i have time for
painting takes a lot of time and effort
and a lot of setup
but i did enjoy it
hopefully there will be
another painting with nina in the future
but i did try y'all, ok
it looks good on its own, right?
next question is
if you could be any animal
in your next life which one and why?
i would be
a bird that can fly
so i can fly away from natural disasters
as i've mentioned before
birds can fly away from tsunamis
they can fly away from earthquakes
they can fly
next question is
i know this is an annoying question but
do you know what you wanna do as a job?
it's not an annoying question
it just gives me an existential crisis
i would love to do
something visual
yet also in the entertainment realm
i would love to do
i would love to be a creative director or something
for short films or films
or music videos
even just entertaining things
i just like working with media and that kind of stuff
so that's what i would like to do
i personally love creating and telling stories
and i have a lot of ideas
and i also do have a visual artistic background
so i would like to incorporate that into my future
but who knows what will happen in the future
but that's my broad idea of what i would like to do
now this fren sent four questions
so i will answer all four
the first one is
who was your motivator to get into college?
my parents were kind of more laidback
about me getting into college
they weren't like the typical disciplinary parents
and so i was just motivated to
finish my education
make my parents proud make my family proud
the second question is
how has youtube helped you as a human being?
youtube has helped me a lot
i feel like it made me definitely a more confident person
and it's definitely changed my personality
i've definitely learned a lot because of youtube
not even with just youtube
but also with the community i have
you guys, i learn a lot from you guys
so i feel like that has changed me a lot
in a good way
the third question is
where would you like to travel?
i obviously would like to travel to korea
i would like to go to my country
and i would like to
have a culture shock
but i would like to go to korea
and i also would like to go to japan
just because my friends have gone
to both korea and japan
and i really wanna go too
but i would like to go there
the final question i got from her is
what advice would you give yourself from 4 years ago?
so 4 years ago, how old was i?
i was 16 so i was a junior/senior in high school
i would tell myself to just
not be afraid
to be myself, and just
have confidence
don't be shy
you're a star
be empathetic, learn about others, care about others
care about yourself
know what you want
don't be afraid
that's all really
next question is
i have no idea what i want to do with my life and i'm
constantly pressured about
figuring out my future career
i have hobbies that keep me happy
but i know they wouldn't be able to
create a stable lifestyle for me
do you have any tips on how to find what i want to do
and how to get rid of unnecessary stress
from everyday life?
this
is definitely very stressful
especially if you're surrounded by people
who are constantly nagging on you
with what you want to do in the future
because they might have different ideas
of what you should be doing
different ideas of what success is
compared to your idea of success
it can be stressful especially when
you can't really avoid those people
their idea of what you should do
kind of always overpowers what you want to do
and so you kind of start to lose
the idea of what you wanna do
the thing is everyone has
different capabilities and limits
and all that and so
if your capabilities don't match
the expectations of other people
it just sucks
just remember what makes you happy
and do your research and
and just try to find a way that you can make
what makes you happy financially stable for you
also my camera died
anyway
just for now focus on decreasing your stress
so that you have at least energy
to push on through life
because if you're pushing on through life
with low self-esteem
and just a low feeling about yourself
and you're constantly feeling like you're being attacked
by what others are saying about yourself
you're not gonna step through life
with your best foot forward
so i would suggest at least
focusing on your mental health
and focusing on decreasing stress
so that you feel good inside
so that you can carry on through your life
and eventually find what makes you happy
because if you're trying to find what makes you happy
when you're not feeling good
it's very difficult
the future is very long
life is short and long but the future is pretty long
we always think that we have to succeed
within the next 5 years
but if we really think about it
there's a whole lot of time ahead of us
but we always feel the pressure
to have to succeed right now
but just give yourself time be patient
breathe and remember that
everyone goes at their own pace
and that you are doing your best
and the next question is how do i deal with stress
first i would like to avoid stress in the first place
by keeping my life a little bit organized
i write down all my tasks and stuff in my bullet journal
so that i know what i'm doing
if i don't know what i'm doing
i will feel messed up
but also to deal with stress i listen to good music
i watch youtube videos
to distract myself
sometimes you just need to distract yourself
people suggest meditating or taking the time to
think about yourself, analyze your life
and although that helps,
if you're in a negative mindstate already
if you're thinking about your life
you're just naturally going to think
about all these negative things
and it's just going to build up even more
so sometimes i just like to distract myself
with entertaining things
that take my mind off of things that stress me out
i like to watch cooking videos
i like to watch kpop videos
i especially love kpop crack videos
but sOMETIMES you just need things that
literally distract you from yourself
but of course it is good to think about your life
but it is better to think about your life
when you're already in a much calmer
more positive mindstate
i feel like also listening to chill music
helps me a lot, i do listen to a lot of
chill playlists on youtube
and just music that makes me happy
and then i also do bullet journal
it takes a lot of stress out of my life as well
also try to clean your room
just cleaning
takes a lot of stress out
and also if you're in a clean environment
your mind is also less cluttered
it really does have an affect on your mental state
so make sure that your environment is nice
and organized and clean
also take care of your health
make sure you're eating healthy
try to avoid foods that make you feel bad
also in this fast-paced world
remember to take breaks
if you really need to skip a class
sometimes it's better to skip it
than to go to class and not even pay attention
because you feel so bad
just do what you need to do, really
wow i didn't even notice how strong this lip tint is ok
let me tone it down a little bit
and the final question is
what do you like about making videos
and posting them on youtube?
i like youtube for a lot of reasons
i first of all love this community that i have
youtube has definitely grown into something
that i did not expect
i did not expect the community that i have right now
so i'm very thankful for you guys
because you do shape the kind of content that i put up
and you have shaped me into the person i am today
so i'm very thankful for that
i also just love making videos so i can be like
a form of escape for someone
i always go to youtube to escape from my problems
so i'm glad that i can do that for someone as well
but that is that for this q&a/grwm
i hope you enjoyed it
i hope it was interesting
or helpful in some kind of way
i know that towards the end it got kind of deep
but that's just how it usually is on this channel
also i am sorry about my hair
my hair is just doing whatever it wants today
but it's fine, it's a look
wow
love it
but that is it for this q&a/grwm
i am currently sitting on my foot
i don't know why i'm doing this
this is very uncomfortable
thank you for sending in your questions
and i will see your lovely face next time
bring it in for a hug
i always do this
you can't avoid these anymore
goodbye my frens :')
