Transcript

00:00Hey YouTube! It's Lucy Fink and I'm just on time. Exactly to the second. And I'm live on Refinery's YouTube.

00:10Back in the office. I'm back from VidCon. Hey guys! Hey Mikayla. Hey Rosemary. Hey everyone. I see my brothers

00:19in here. Hey Rob. What's up guys?

00:23So today I'm on YouTube Live for a specific purpose. You guys saw that today on YouTube was Lucy Fink

00:31Takeover Week. That means that I took over Refinery's YouTube channel for five days in a row and each day

00:39there was a different video from Try Living with Lucy. So instead of putting out a long video about five

00:45days of XYZ, I decided to break it up and put out, you know, one day I'm showing you just

00:50Monday. The next day is just Tuesday.

00:52And that's what I did this week for five days of being Instagram famous. Who saw the video? Tell me

00:58if you saw the video. Give this stream a thumbs up if you like the video because this stream is

01:03going to be all about that. Hi to the person from Germany. Hi. Hi Anita. Hi everyone. Refinery just posted

01:13in the comments the link for where you can see the full week.

01:16So I'm loving all the people that are commenting saying I saw all of them. That's incredible. Because I saw

01:23all of them too. So we saw the same thing. So I'm so thankful for all of those thumbs up.

01:28We're already at 72 and this video is only just a newborn baby.

01:33And I'm about to talk to you about my entire week. What I learned from five days of being Instagram

01:39famous. So I'm going to start out first with the first video in that series, which was the food one.

01:46Hey Bethany. Hi. Okay. Food. I hung out with Food Baby NY.

01:51So I don't know if any of you follow him on Instagram. But the main person that runs it is

01:56named Mike Chow. And he has a wife and two children, Sammy and Matthew. They are so cute. And I

02:03hung out with them. And he taught me all about how he is a food blogger. And how he's grown

02:08his Instagram following so large. Hi to everyone that's saying hi. Hi, hi, hi, hi.

02:13Hi. So let me just tell you guys that I'm about to go through this video right now. And at

02:19the end of each day, at the end of talking about each day, I'll take a few questions. But for

02:24the most part, hold your questions for the end because at the very end of this video, I'll do an

02:29overall Q&A about this video, but also just Lucy Q&A where you can ask me anything that you

02:36want to ask me. So I'm going to start first though. I'm going to be talking about the food Instagrammer,

02:41Mike Chow from Food Baby NY.

02:43The biggest thing that I learned from this week about how he's a food Instagrammer is how he takes photos.

02:51A lot of people are always wondering, is it about taking good photos or is it about editing good photos?

02:57Honestly, thank you for holding your questions. Honestly, the real answer is it's both. You have to be taking good

03:05photos. But at the same time, a really, really good Instagrammer can take almost any photo and edit it and

03:12turn it into a

03:13beautiful Instagram photo. And they'll have people wondering how they took it. And it was mostly the edit. So one

03:19big thing that I learned from Mike and Food Baby NY and his family is if you're ever trying to

03:24get a really good photo, the best thing you can do is do a burst on your iPhone.

03:29So I have my phone here and I'm going to show it to you now. This is the live stream.

03:35So if I go to my camera and you guys can see me, right? Instead of just doing this. Oh,

03:43let's not do that. Instead of just doing this. Photo, photo, photo. Because you might not get the best photo.

03:51You know what I'm saying? Instead, try holding it down and it will burst.

03:55Ah! You see it was bursting in the corner. And there you go. I just in 0.5 seconds took

04:02a burst of 25 photos. It says burst 25 in the corner. And if I actually click into that, I

04:12can then see all of the 25 that I took in that burst.

04:15And odds are because I held it down and I bursted it and I got 25 photos in that split

04:21second. I pretty much got every facial expression that I was going to potentially make. And I probably got the

04:27shot. So if you're trying to take a good photo of a donut or honestly, it doesn't even have to

04:33be food. A person probably works better with a person. Hold down your phone. And that is a good point.

04:41Someone said R.I.P. memory space.

04:45Make sure when you're done, you click into the photo and you click this little select button on the bottom.

04:51When you see that, you'll be able to go through the entire burst. This is the whole burst of me

04:55talking. So you can see it's like almost like a stop motion video was created. And when this happens, you

05:02then can go through and tap on the photos and mass delete. So you don't want to get rid of

05:08the memory. You don't want to ruin your memory space.

05:10But you just want to take as many photos as you can to get the best shot. And now I'm

05:15going to show you another fun tip. This is actually a tip that I have when it comes to editing

05:19because I love color. You guys probably know that about me. If you follow me on Instagram, at Lucy B.

05:26Fink, you know I love color.

05:27And the reason that I love color is because it's so visual. And I think Instagram is just such a

05:32visual platform. So why not add as much color as you possibly can, right?

05:37So here's an example. I'm going to walk you through a simple and fun edit of a photo.

05:43So say that I started with this photo of a beautiful acai bowl. And you guys probably saw this on

05:50my Instagram feed because I actually put this on my Instagram feed a little while ago.

05:54So I took this photo. And you know what? I didn't think it was all that pretty. Yeah. And you

06:00know, for the person that said I should be studying, why don't you guys all take your phones out and

06:03take notes?

06:05And then also write down your questions. Because at the end, when I say I'll be taking questions, you'll have

06:09your questions written down.

06:10So everyone take notes, write down your questions. This is a photo we're talking about now. This is an acai

06:16bowl. And as you can see, it was on this like kind of ugly looking piece of wood.

06:21And I felt like my Instagram feed isn't going to like this. It's a pretty bowl, but the background's really

06:27not doing anything for me.

06:29So what did I do? There are millions of apps that you can use for this, but one of my

06:33favorites is this app called Pixart. P-I-C-S-A-R-T.

06:39It looks like this. See that little P? Pixart. So I click into this app and look at what I

06:48can do.

06:49So I just open my bowl. This is that photo you saw. Look, Dalen loves Pixart. Isn't it a great

06:56app?

06:57So look how cool this is. I can now click on Effects and Color.

07:04And there's a Color Replace feature down at the bottom right here where I can move this toggle, put it

07:10on the yellow, and say, goodbye, yellow.

07:13And as you can see, everything turned blue.

07:17I can then decide, you know what? I don't want it to be blue. I want it to be pink

07:25or green or whatever.

07:28So you see this? So let's say I wanted it to be this pink color.

07:31Now the only problem is that I turned my pineapple pink.

07:34So good news is there is a little tool at the top, this eraser tool, and I can go back

07:40in and fix my pineapple.

07:42Do you see what I'm doing here?

07:45So essentially, yeah, I wasn't expecting it to work that well either, Angelo, but look at what it did.

07:52So I took my photo from this yellow, ugly background, and I moved it into this pretty pink background.

07:59But then the problem is there's still, like, these cracks on the edges, and the pink isn't quite as bright

08:05as I want.

08:06So then this is what I do.

08:08I apply it, save it, you know, I'm just saving it privately into my camera roll.

08:13And then the app that I actually love so much, and give this stream a thumbs up if you like

08:18this app too,

08:19because this is one of my personal favorites, Snapseed.

08:23One word, Snapseed.

08:24So I'm going to show you, I just now pulled that new photo into Snapseed.

08:30And now let me show you what I can do with it here.

08:32So there's a healing button.

08:34So basically, you see this corner? I'm going to zoom in to show you.

08:37This corner is kind of, like, missing part of the bench, and I want to fix it.

08:41Basically, I just color it in with this healing button, and now it's all pink.

08:48And I can do that with this, I don't know what this was, a worm, a little line on the

08:53bench.

08:54But I have colored it in now, and the entire bench is pink.

08:59The other thing about Snapseed that is so cool, hey, Emily Curl, what is up, girl?

09:05See this? This is Snapseed.

09:08I'm now looking at this thinking, okay, it's a lot prettier than it was before,

09:13but it's still not quite as saturated as my Instagram likes it to be.

09:18So then, you can do this selective adjust tool on Snapseed,

09:22where you touch a certain area, and I decide, you see this area where it's red is where I'm selective

09:28adjusting.

09:29I decide that I want to change the saturation, and look.

09:32Do you see that?

09:34I just made it extremely pink.

09:37And I can do that to other areas.

09:39I just kind of hold where I put that little ball where I want it,

09:42change it to be editing saturation, and boom, blow it out.

09:46Do you guys see this?

09:48So, Shanice, I actually called Emily Curl out because she is my coworker.

09:55All right, guys, so you see what I just did?

09:57That's how we edit it, and then if I want to show you the before and after,

10:01I've got this kind of dingy picture, and this was the final that you saw on my Instagram.

10:07So, photo editing is key.

10:09If you're going to be an Instagrammer, learn to edit photos.

10:12Moving on to Tuesday.

10:14So, on Tuesday in this video, I hung out with one of the cutest girls in the world.

10:18Her name is Noelle Downing, and she's on Instagram.

10:21You can find her at Noelle Downing.

10:23Yes, the app was called Snapseed.

10:25She is so cute, and she's a fashion blogger,

10:28and the thing I learned from Noelle is that, honestly,

10:32a lot of people might look at her and think, you know, what is she doing?

10:37She just has a lot of clothes.

10:38She's just having so much fun.

10:40She's just taking pictures in coffee shops.

10:41How is that a job?

10:42And I'm here to assure you that it is not only a job,

10:46but it is an extremely hard job,

10:49and one that can be extremely lucrative, too.

10:52So, Noelle has really figured out how to be a fashion blogger

10:56and how to capture content constantly and build such a huge audience,

11:00and she has a blog called Noelle's Favorite Things.

11:03That's really why she's a fashion blogger,

11:05but she also mainly does it on her Instagram account,

11:08and I'm so glad you love Noelle because I love her, too,

11:11and the biggest fashion tip that I learned from Noelle

11:14is that you can put a hat and sunglasses

11:18or, honestly, just any glasses onto any outfit,

11:21and it can totally change the look.

11:25So, I've brought with me a hat,

11:29and I just would, like, love to know if you guys like it.

11:33You know, thumbs up if you like the hat.

11:36Comment if you like the hat.

11:37Let me know how you feel about the hat.

11:40But the hat is a hat.

11:43And the other thing is glasses.

11:46So, I have sunglasses here with me,

11:48which are not really what I'm talking about with Noelle.

11:52See, Noelle has, like, almost 100 regular glasses,

11:56all different shapes, different frames, different sizes,

12:00and she looks so cool.

12:02If you watch the video, you will see she has probably

12:05100 pairs of glasses in her house.

12:08But today, I've decided to ask you guys

12:10between two pairs of sunglasses, which you like better.

12:14These, which are sort of tortoise-y, brown, circular shapes,

12:22or black, super chic.

12:29So, let's get the comments rolling in.

12:32Which one do you like better?

12:33Good question.

12:34Where's the hat from?

12:36Brixton.

12:37Brixton.

12:38B-R-I-X-T-U-N.

12:41All right.

12:42I'm getting a lot of notes that people like the black glasses better.

12:46Oh, wow.

12:47So, guys, there's a really cool lamp in this room.

12:49It's this zigzag shape that you're seeing on the reflection of the picture.

12:52Check it out in the glasses.

12:55Someone take a screenshot and put this on Instagram.

12:57Ready?

12:57Go.

13:01Oh, my God.

13:02I feel like a superstar.

13:04This is so cool.

13:05You know what?

13:05I'm going to take this screenshot myself.

13:09Hold on.

13:11Getting the phone ready.

13:13And also posing.

13:17And got it.

13:19Oh, you guys.

13:21That is a shot.

13:23Okay.

13:24Someone is asking me, what is your favorite video that you ever did?

13:30I have a lot because I've made a lot of videos.

13:34But I think my favorite one ever was five days of facing my fears.

13:39Because that was a video where I really taught myself more than I ever thought I could teach myself.

13:45And what I taught myself was don't be scared of anything.

13:48Because life is short.

13:50And if you try something that you think you're afraid of,

13:52odds are you can conquer your fear real quick.

13:55I'm, like, loving this hat.

13:57Okay.

13:57I'm going to take it off because it's distracting me.

13:59I can't have props.

14:01It's too fun.

14:02Yeah.

14:03So, everyone who missed the Noel video, don't forget to go to that.

14:07If you missed five days of facing my fears, check that out, too, because that's absolutely my favorite video.

14:13Moving on to Wednesday.

14:14This was our best performing video so far in the series.

14:18And it was five days of being Instagram famous, following a beauty blogger.

14:23And I hung out with Foynika K, who is this beautiful girl from Albania.

14:28And she lives in New York.

14:29We went to her apartment.

14:30She has the real deal on Instagram.

14:35And she has more makeup than I'll ever see in my life.

14:39Even working here at Refinery, Foynika has more.

14:42She has more.

14:43And she deserves it because she also has 1.1 million Instagram followers.

14:48And she has an incredible story.

14:50Not only does she have that many Instagram followers, but her Instagram got hacked a really long time ago.

14:55And she, in six months, built the following.

14:59Excuse me, I just choked on myself.

15:01In six months, she built the following to be 1.1 million.

15:06So, Riley, don't you think that's cool?

15:10Because I think it's cool.

15:11So, I'm going to show you some really cool tip that I learned from Foynika.

15:16Do you see what I have here?

15:19This is a ring light.

15:25This is a ring light.

15:27And, honestly, Foynika's was about eight times the size of this.

15:31Most beauty bloggers own a ring light.

15:33And, typically, they set it up on a stand.

15:35And then, they actually put their camera right in between it.

15:39And that way, the camera can't see the ring light.

15:41But the ring light is caught in their eyes.

15:43And let me just show you a quick demo of what happens.

15:46I'm going to put this around the lens.

15:47Do you see my face?

15:49How it just changed there?

15:51Off.

15:52On.

15:54Off.

15:55On.

15:56And something that it does is it gives you these, you see the circles that are happening

16:02on my, oh, it's a little too, right?

16:03But, do you see the circles in my eyes?

16:08Because the circles in your eyes are what makes a beauty shot a beauty shot.

16:13And the other thing is, you see how it's on my face right now?

16:16It's kind of blown out.

16:18I've been breaking out of my forehead a little.

16:20And this ring light just, like, masks that.

16:22So, anyone who's a beauty blogger needs this or something like this because it really changes

16:29the quality of your videos and your pictures.

16:32And I'm going to be honest, Foynika lives in a very modest space and she shoots all of her

16:37videos against a gray wall.

16:39So, you can't really say, well, she has a beautiful apartment with natural light and I don't have

16:45that so I can't be a beauty blogger.

16:46She, she could do exactly what she does from a basement.

16:49Honestly, she can from a basement.

16:51So, wherever you are, buy yourself a ring light.

16:53Something like this size is really not expensive at all.

16:56If you have a bit of a bigger budget, I would go for one of the giant ones because those

17:00are

17:00super cool.

17:02But the end of the, the end of this video and the end result I want you to take away

17:06is

17:07that you too can be a beauty blogger with 1.1 million followers if you try and get the proper

17:14equipment.

17:15Now, we're going to move on to Thursday in the video and don't forget to type out in a

17:21separate note or in a cell phone message to yourself all of your questions because I will

17:26get to them soon.

17:28I'm just still going through the week.

17:30Thursday.

17:31Okay, let me just talk about Sam and her Instagram account.

17:36So, her Instagram is awsam and she's a DIYer.

17:40She makes all these fun projects.

17:42She does a lot of pastel stuff.

17:44She's really, really cool and the thing about her is that she lives in a space that looks

17:52just like her Instagram feed.

17:53So, if you look at her feed and you think, this is highly curated, there's no way anyone

17:57could actually live like this, you're wrong.

18:01Sam is so cool and her apartment looks just like her Instagram feed and the funniest thing

18:07is that her apartment, oh hey Sarah, the funniest thing is that her apartment is her studio.

18:14So, she lives and works in the same space and she's highly creative and one of the coolest

18:19things I learned from her is also a photo editing hack.

18:24This photo right here, I just want to show you, comes from Sam's Instagram page and it

18:30looks pretty much, you know, in line with all the other content on her Instagram page because

18:35the background is very white and the colors are very poppy.

18:38But, inside tip, I saw the original photo of this and it did not look like this.

18:45This photo was taken inside of a store with really bad lighting and lots of distracting

18:50stuff on the walls behind her.

18:52And Sam totally edited this in Photoshop.

18:56She took the background, she blew it out and just made it super white and got rid of all

19:00the detail that was on the shelves.

19:01She also made it super blurry so there's no attention on that.

19:05And then she took all the colors on her lips and on her necklace and on her shirt and she

19:10saturated everything so that it looked super bright and pretty.

19:13And this was the final result.

19:16And when you look at it on her Instagram feed, you would never know.

19:19You would look at that picture and you would probably think, wow, how did she do that?

19:23Like, I just can't take pictures like that so I'll never have a job like this, I'll never

19:29be able to do this.

19:30But the truth is, it's really all about editing.

19:32So take photos wherever you are, no matter how bad the lighting conditions are, take photos

19:37and then edit them and you too can be a DIY pro.

19:42Last day of the video, which is the video that actually came out today.

19:46So if you haven't seen that yet, make sure to head over to it.

19:49It was five days of being Instagram famous, how to be a dog blogger.

19:54And I met three Instagram famous dogs that are all siblings with each other.

19:59I have to show you how cute these dogs are.

20:04Perhaps the most famous of the dogs was Toast.

20:08This is Toast.

20:09And I'm going to try to put the camera closed so you can see her cute little tongue, which

20:14hangs out of her mouth.

20:15If you couldn't see the photo well here, go to my Instagram page because I just posted

20:19this photo to Instagram right now.

20:23Someone just asked, what's my favorite dog breed?

20:25Well, I'm a little biased and I'm going to have to say the two dog breeds that I own.

20:31A Westie and a Havanese.

20:33Those are my favorite.

20:35I love little tiny white furry dogs.

20:37Um, yes.

20:39Oh, hi, hi, hi to everyone that just joined.

20:41Hey, everyone.

20:42Uh, you have to head to my Instagram to see that adorable picture of me and Toast.

20:46But Toast is just one of the three dogs that I met during this episode.

20:51So Toast has two sisters, Muppet, and her Instagram handle is Muppets Revenge, and then

20:56Underpants, or her Instagram is Underpants the Dog.

21:00These three dogs were rescued from a puppy mill, were rescued from a puppy mill in, I think,

21:08North Carolina, where they were severely, severely mistreated.

21:12And that's the reason a lot of people are asking, why is Toast's tongue hanging out of

21:16her mouth?

21:16Why does she look like that?

21:18It's because she was mistreated and her teeth weren't taken care of, so all of her teeth

21:24got rotten.

21:25And then when she was rescued, all of her teeth were removed.

21:28And now she lives in a beautiful, beautiful home with her mom, Katie Storino, who is the

21:35beauty blogger and fashion blogger from the 12ish style, and her two sisters, Toast and

21:41Muppet and Underpants.

21:42And they're the three cutest dogs ever.

21:44And I got to meet them all.

21:46Each of them has their own personality and their own Instagram following.

21:49And you have to watch that video because it's really actually interesting.

21:54If you have a dog of your own and you're trying to make your dog Instagram famous, Katie gives

21:58you some interesting insights and some tips about why you should or shouldn't do it.

22:03But at the end of the day, it is the best thing that she ever did because she now has

22:08three famous dogs that get invited to fly on private jets.

22:14And Toast is a model for Karen Walker.

22:18And I think the best thing of all is that all three of them have personalized cashmere sweaters

22:25from Polo Ralph Lauren.

22:27So if you're going to be a dog, be one of those three dogs.

22:33Now it's time for questions.

22:37Anyone have any questions?

22:39Okay, someone just asked me, how can I get more followers?

22:42Really good question because I think that's why everyone has clicked into these videos in

22:48the first place is because they want to learn how someone else is a blogger and how they

22:51too can do it.

22:53Getting more followers is hard, obviously, which is why not everyone has a lot of followers.

22:59But it's also not impossible.

23:01And you don't need to go the route of getting fake followers or buying followers.

23:05Please don't do that.

23:06It's just not smart.

23:08The best way to get followers is to really actively engage on the platform.

23:12So if we're talking Instagram followers, I would say go on Instagram, find some other

23:17accounts that are doing things similar to what you want to do and follow them, like their

23:23photos, comment on their content.

23:25And then actually, don't just do it once.

23:28Do it over and over again and be really active with the community.

23:32Use hashtags.

23:33And something that a lot of people don't know about hashtags is that if you are private on

23:38Instagram, there's no use of putting a hashtag because your photo will not show up in hashtag

23:46dog if you're private.

23:47So make sure to be public on Instagram if you're trying to grow your following.

23:52If not, stay private, many people are private.

23:55But I would definitely say go public if you're trying to grow.

23:58Make sure that you're using all the proper hashtags and engaging with the community.

24:02And you will probably see all of that love coming back to you.

24:07Somebody else just asked me, how many years have I lived in New York City?

24:12The answer is three.

24:14Three years.

24:15I've been here since just after college.

24:17I graduated in 2014 and now I've lived in the city, but I also grew up in New York so

24:22I've been a New Yorker for a really long time.

24:25Another question.

24:26How did you get to work at R29?

24:30I, that's a great question.

24:32And actually for the people who have asked me that in the past, it's a bit of a longer

24:36story.

24:37There's not just like, you know, one word answer to that question.

24:40So I am planning on doing a vlog about my career path for all the people that asked that.

24:45But in the meantime, I'll tell you that in college I was always making video content and

24:51I was always creating my own videos.

24:52And if you ever are bored or have some free time and you type in Lucy Fink Johns Hopkins

25:00to YouTube, you'll probably be able to see a lot of my old content from Johns Hopkins

25:05University.

25:06And if you want to watch that content, you'll see the kind of stuff I was doing in college

25:11and that sort of led me to where I am today.

25:14Um, am I going to VidCon next year?

25:16Great question.

25:18Probably.

25:19Most likely.

25:20I haven't planned it yet.

25:21But I'm assuming that Refinery's presence will be there.

25:24TLK, that is such a nice message.

25:29Thank you so much.

25:30So yes, everyone, in case you didn't hear, this is the, this is the Q&A portion of the

25:34live video and I'm going to be going live on Fridays.

25:37So this question just came in, where did I get my phone case?

25:42Okay.

25:42Well, the phone case is Corgis, but this thing, this little Instagram button is one of these,

25:50you know, I don't even know what it's called, but it's a way that I can hold my phone and

25:54it also helps my phone stay tilted like this.

25:57It's fun.

25:57And I like holding it like this.

25:59It's easy to grasp.

26:00But I got this case from Case Station.

26:04Case Station.

26:05Great case.

26:07Um, someone says, if I've dyed my hair, what color is it?

26:11Oh, if, or if I had to dye, if I had to dye my hair, what color would I do?

26:15Wow.

26:16Great question.

26:16I was actually just using an app and I was editing the photo and looking at how my hair

26:22would come out if I were to dye it.

26:23And I would love your guys' input.

26:26I think I would go pink, but I think I would just do the tips pink.

26:32Tell me what you think of this look.

26:34Just the tips are pink.

26:37And then the, the top.

26:39Do you guys like that?

26:40Give us, give this video a thumbs up if you like that.

26:43I think I might do it.

26:45Uh, another question's coming in.

26:46What did I study in college?

26:49Creative writing.

26:51I switched my major pretty early in college from being a neuroscience pre-med to being creative

27:01writing and media major.

27:03And that's what I switched to.

27:05Everyone's saying dye your hair.

27:07You think so?

27:09Do you guys think so?

27:10Nina, you're welcome.

27:11You're very welcome.

27:13And in, in response to this question that's coming in about where do I shop, I shop everywhere.

27:19I'm not the type of person that goes to one store, but when it comes to, when it comes

27:25to real street clothes, I mean, right outside the refinery office, we have a Zara, so I go

27:30there all the time.

27:30I love Brandy Melville.

27:31I love H&M.

27:32And when it comes to athleisure, I love Under Armour.

27:36And I honestly wear a lot of athleisure all the time, so that's great.

27:41Next question is, do you have any pets?

27:44I personally, myself, don't have any pets, but my parents have two dogs that I grew up

27:50with, and those are the dogs that are the Westie and the Havanese.

27:54And I actually don't, I don't have any right now, and I don't have any plans to get any,

28:01but pets have been a really big part of my whole life.

28:04So, actually growing up, I've had many, many dogs in my life, and I've also had some weird

28:09pets.

28:10Like, I've had fish, I've had hermit crabs, we used to have sea monkeys.

28:14I just love animals.

28:17Uh, my favorite makeup brand?

28:19Oh man, that's a tough one.

28:22I'm gonna have to go Laura Mercier, I think.

28:27But then again, in response to the question, do I have a pet?

28:30No.

28:30I do not have a pet.

28:32But in response to the question about my, the person just asked me if I was materialistic

28:40and how much money I spend on clothes, no.

28:43I absolutely, like, don't, I just don't care about clothes or material items that much,

28:50so I actually would prefer to buy things that are inexpensive, which is why the list of stores

28:56that I just gave you is extremely low cost.

28:59I, I don't think about clothes and fashion all that much.

29:03I probably should think about it a little bit more because I'm on camera and I'm wearing

29:07clothes that you guys are all asking, but the truth is, everything I wear is really

29:11affordable.

29:13Favorite celebrity?

29:14Great question.

29:15I'm gonna go ahead and throw out a little Lin-Manuel Miranda action because is anyone

29:22a Hamilton fan?

29:24Hamilton, Hamilton?

29:25Someone asked where did I get this button.

29:27I actually got it at VidCon in the Instagram lounge.

29:31Yes, it's live.

29:33This is live right now.

29:35Yes, Lin-Manuel.

29:36I've got a lot of Hamilton fans out there.

29:39And you guys were so great for coming into this stream.

29:43This is so much fun.

29:45It says, it doesn't say that we have no subscribers.

29:48It's just that the subscriber number is a private number.

29:51Uh, but we have a lot, hence why all of you are in here hanging out with us.

29:55I have had so much fun on this YouTube live with you guys.

29:58And remember that I'm going to be on Refinery's YouTube live every Friday, except for some

30:04exceptions where I'm out and about and unable to be live.

30:07But don't forget to tune back in every Friday for this stream because we're usually going

30:12to be talking about the Try Living with Lucy videos or whatever video came out that day.

30:16Or sometimes I'm just going to be doing a Q&A and I'm going to let you guys ask me

30:20anything

30:21you want and I'm going to have to answer it.

30:24So that's what's happening and I hope you guys had fun because I had so much fun.

30:28Follow me on Instagram.

30:30Send me a little message under my latest photo, which is the photo of me and the dog,

30:34if you were in the stream to let me know you were in here.
