You see her and you can't help but stare because she's so gorgeous. She is sweeter on the inside, which is hard to believe. I know. It's one of those girls that you're like, really, are you? Are you this perfect? Yes? She is. She is so sweet. She does the best makeup.

I got to know her all last year because a thousand horses toured with her hubby Jason Alden, and I just fell in love with her. She's the sweetest girl ever. A dear friend, so y'all get excited to hear everything tour, life, makeup and fashion from Brittany Williams. Okay, I am here with the gorgeous Brittany Williams. Yes, that's my name, that's your name. And Mia is doing a dog nance trying to get in the shot. She want to be in the face is pretty me. I should should definitely squirrel,

She's my squirrel. Come on, Mia, she's being camera shihi. So what kind of dog is Mia? She's a teacup Pomeranian. But she didn't know she's a teacup. Well, no, she thinks she's a pit full Okay, So I want to start off with a little rapid fire. Okay, so just say the first thing that comes to your head when I say the word. Okay, They're going to be great. Okay, all right, let's have a bucket list. Oh I want

to go to Tahiti. Yes, I have a few like boar boar, there's a bunch, you know, those little huts on the water. That's what I want to do. Okay, So to he like island, You're an island girl, totally island, but but not just any island, you know. I want to go to like the really really cool ones. The problem is the travel time, and my husband won't go. He won't go. Well, he's just like that takes too long. Now, how about the bombs. I'm like, well, I mean that's

great too. However, yeah, Yetta, you gotta do a little more like you want to like islands. I think it would be worth the travel time because you guys got married in Mexico, so y'all started off your relationship island island totally. Actually, yeah, he wanted to get married at the beach, so it was mostly his idea. I was kind of like, I don't care because at the end of the day, I get to marry you, and that's all good wherever we go. I don't care. I love

that your hair was amazing. You did say something on your wedding day though, that never tried new products. Yeah, I heard never tried new products because I tried a sunscreen. It was sunbomb and my skin is super sensitive. So we left a little gift boxes in all the rooms for all of our guests and sunbum We had like alo and chapstick and sunscreen and all this. So I was like, well, I obviously don't want to be sunburned on my wedding day, so I'm gonna use this precaution. Yeah,

just use this sunscreen. Not even thinking about it, just put it on my face though. It was like thirty or something. And then the next day I woke up and it looked like I had chicken box everywhere. I haven't paid ak attack. And then I was like, okay, I just need some tequila and it'll all be good. Here is it all right? Yeah? So I just hearted a drinke pretty early and then and then uh yeah, I didn't. I wanted to get in the sun because I was like, maybe this your base plowless. You couldn't tell.

You really couldn't tell. But it was because I had a makeup artist and he was the jam. I was like, you know, on all day, of all days, I want to do I don't want to do my makeup on my wedding day. So for you to say that someone is the jam as a makeup artist, they must be pretty great, though, because you are, to me, like the makeup guru kind of sore of all. You're very makeup is out of this world. You obviously like this is

your business here. You have a YouTube page, you do pop up seminars, like you always are telling people what kind of brands to use tutorials. So for you to say that someone's great, he must be pretty good. He's good. His his name's mac Daddy on Instagram and his name is Angel. But he is awesome and I actually learned a lot from him. I'm like a sponge when I get other people to do my makeup because I'm always

open to tried products and all that. So he he really saved me that day because I was like having an internal attack, your panic attack. I was freaking out because it's you, it's your way. Besides that, how was your wedding because it looked at it really was. The weather was awesome. The paparazzi, I can kiss my butt.

Other than that, Yeah, they were in a boat at the end of the aisle, so you can imagine I'm coming up over this sand dune and I'm like, like, my husband's at the end of it, and there's cameras everywhere in a boat, so I'm like, people really are crazy like that. So some of my wedding party gave him the finger, and it was great that I didn't

let them ruin it. Though that's great, And I love that too, because obviously you're married to Jason Auden and you are just so incredible on your own right, but together, you guys are this in the same power couple. So people when y'all got together, y'all had just had a ton of energy around you guys. But I feel like, if anything, y'all have been the strongest couple ever because people are so curious about your relationship. But it's like, to me, that's just like a great way to start.

It's like, okay, here, yeah, find out about it. We're gon show you how right we are. We haven't been through anything, like there's nothing else that could tears, Like we've been through so much crap that at this point it's like throw it at us. It's fine, you know, like nothing can break us because we've been through so much already. So it was like, you know, I just

love him so much. And it's funny because sometimes you do things that are so not your character, are so out of your realm for the people that you love, and absolutely, because I will be darned, I'm like, you know, sometimes I was like, how is this worth it? But it absolutely is because I got to marry such a good man. So I'm very blessed. You guys are the sweetest couple ever. So great, thank you. So okay, got

record back to rapid fire. Yes, happiness, my head's been Any animals I want to throw you too, any animal with a heartbeat, don't care. Which is also ironic because Jason does love to hunt and has a hunting show. So is that like a dilemma in the marriage. Absolutely, when we talk about this stuff and we've just come to the point where we just have to agree to

disagree because I'm like, I don't agree with you hunting. Okay, Well that's what I've always done, and this is part of a business and I'm involved in and remember here you go on the show about it, right, Absolutely, okay. So it's not just like a hobby. It's a thing.

It's yeah, it's a thing. It's and he enjoys it, sincerely, grew up doing it and it's something that him and his dad used to do, and I it could not make me like to the point where back in the day he would put camo on and I knew where he was going obviously, I mean it would be full faced paint and I would cry. I would break down in the kitchen and throw a timber tanture of like please don't go. I just I know what you're gonna

go to and I just can't handle it. So it's just the point where we he doesn't talk about it. It's like it doesn't exist because I'll go crazy. I actually was interviewing Ali Ryan, who has the dry house. You go to the dry house to get your hair done, so I so many great people go to the dry house, and we're talking about like different amazing people. She does. And one thing we said about you is you're basically Saint Francis, which is the Saint of animals. You love

animals more than people. I think most of the time. Right, I mean, I'm sorry. I love all to people in my life. I love like a good amount, but I love every There's not an animal that I don't Where did that love come from? I don't really know. My parents say that I've always been that way. Like they would fix red meat and pork and I would just sit there and stare at the plate like I can't

eat this because that was the pig. Like I knew way way early on in life, and so I just have don't eat all that stuff and like, I just didn't actually associate with the living animal. I think about it when I eat, and I there's no way I know what you mean, you know. I just feel like, now I'm going to throw up. It wasn't even worth trying it and died for you to eat it, And absolutely I know. I feel the same way. And I think about my dog and I'm like, I could have

just as easily been my dog. I went to So I went to the University of Alabama and I went to a tailgate once and there was a it was like a pig roast or what the heck? Ever, I don't know, I don't I can't go to that stuff anymore. But I saw it and it I have an English bulldog and it looked like my ducks. My all looks like a pig to me. So I was like, scarred for life. Yeah, that looks like my animal. I feel you can't take it. I love the animals. I think

that's so good, so sweet. Yeah, okay, okay. Next icon Beyonce always yes, it makes me want to have twins. I want to. She is like the queen. She's the queen and I've met her. Um I do thanks to my husband. He was like, do you want a picture? I'm like, yes, but I don't want to be that fan girl. But you know, but you also, he knew I didn't have to say anything. He's like, you want it. I'm like, baby, yeah, but I'm not going to ask because I'm not. I got to calm down here, and

so we got a picture. She was so sweet, and it's funny because I was watching her as she kind of made her rounds around the room and she was so in tune with every conversation with every person. So it wasn't like she was I don't know you, I'm going to keep it moving. Deal. Yes, we were talking about Blue, she was talking about us having children. She was, I mean, such a normal person, but she just cared so much about every conversation that she was in. It

was crazy. You know. I've heard that when I actually interviewed Megan Lindsay and she was talking about Farrell and she was saying that, like when Farrell speaks, he's like in the zone with like Beyonce. I guess you know, I think that's amazing trait that people have to be in the moment with people. Absolutely they're wanted in all these moments and you know that. Yes, So, I mean that's a crazy thing that she was able to do that. She she was you could just tell that she's so

kind hearted. And so I was just watching her like, you're so amazing, you are just everything. Yes, Oh my god, she walked in this room. She had on this little it was almost like a leotard and a cape. I don't even know what she was wearing, but she can, you know, like she could wear a trash bag and

she just rocks it. And she just walked in like it was like a force, you know, coming in the room, and she just I've always loved her, but then ever since then, knowing like how she kind of like you know, was was with other people, it was just really cool to see she's a good person too. I love that. I know, so I con for sure, I'll give you that. I'm agreeing. Okay. Inspiration oh, I would say I would

say Jace because he's my husband, Jase. I call him jase Um because he handles things with such grace, like things that I would freak out over with an example, But like, okay, so I don't know if something goes on, you know, within his business or like on the tour. He never freaks. He doesn't ever. I mean it could he could say the lightning Chuck isn't here today, the show is gonna You're not gonna have to do it without lights, I mean something crazy, And he's like, all right,

well does he like doing it without lights? He doesn't make it a big deal. Never never raises his voice, really, never never gets like so worked up to where he gets angry about things. He just handles things so calmly admire that It's very admirable because I would be going, oh crap, what are we going to do? Right, flying off the handle way more high strung and like he just I don't know. Just watching him handle this business

that he runs. I can't imagine running a business where so many people depend on you a be handling it with such grace is really cool. So almost amazing. Yeah, I know, he's he's really he's great. Did you give a little shout up? It was the most funnier tour with y'all last year. I'm going to miss fun and all the girls and all the guys. I actually just talking about that because each year that comes, you know, you hope for good females I do on the tour.

I'm like, I hope the girlfriends are cool, the wives are cool, just whoever's out. And last year we really hit the jackpot. We really have every year last but last year was so much fun. You guys are awesome. It was the best time ever. It's hard to talk, you know, know, but you know it's okay because we'll just be different memories memories from here on. O great,

great memories, but more to come. I know. I just wish we could just redo it just one more year, I know, right, Okay, So you started off as an NBA dancer and you were with Charlotte the Bob Cats, and you are the Lady Cats. So tell me how you got into dancing, and tell me what that was like to be on a squad of girls, like twenty girls working together where their cap byes d'll get along. What did you learn from those years of your life. I don't really like drama, so I'm you're very not drama.

Girls like it. I want everyone to get along, and I like to build people up. So I don't understand why people would break people down. I just don't get it. I but you're also like I'm telling you St. Francis and pretty much the like you're like a perfect human, beautiful, sweet kind saving on the animals. You're very people, beautiful, feel great about themselves. Not sure. I definitely have a lot of falls tons, however, so I don't think there's

anythingk you. Um, yeah, it was hey, baby girl. UM, it was definitely difficult sometimes because you throw like fifteen to twenty plus girls in one little room, blood, sweat, tears. And with the NBA, there's so many games, so it's not like the NFL. It's not like, um, you know, you have like ten games this season or whatever. We had forty plus a year, yes, ma'am. And then if

you make it the playoffs, you've got more. I mean, you just never I mean it's like a definitely a part time job on top of the job that you already have. So it's a lot, a lot of stress, a lot of memorization, which I have the worst memory.

I can't remember anything, the dance moves, and then you have to different dance each time, so every week you're learning a new dance, and then you've got time out, you've got quarter breaks, like you've got so much stuff to remember and I have I literally have the worst memory. You have your worst memory. I can remember songs, that's about it. So how do you do this? So how do you learn a new dance every week? How do

you learn all the new moves every week? You would have to really do your homework and go home and really practice otherwise you're going to make a butt of yourself out on their court, you know. So it was fun. It was just a lot. And I did for two years and um, it was awesome, Like I got to go to Italy. Are you serious? Yeah, they sent six of us to Milan for like an NBA tour, which was really cool. And then we you know, shot calendars and we did so much fun stuff. And that Michael

Jordan owned the team, so that was pretty cool. You know, Michael Jordan's I don't know him no, but you know, he would, you know, ever so often just oversee the practice and then you'd really have to be on your craw and then be at the games. You want to make him proud and you want to make everybody proud. So it was charl I think he's from North Carolina. I mean he went to Carolina. Um, and Hardy said, I'm just gonna own that team. Probably the dancers he

probably knew that day were really good. You know. He had a had a fiance at the time, which I think they're obviously married now and have children and stuff. But she was beautiful, so she was always there with him. So we didn't really know him, but um, it was just cool the fact that he was at the games and stuff. So you wanted to really do good for him and for everybody in your coach and our coach was awesome, honestly, one of the strongest woman I've ever

met her. Her best friend and mother both passed away from breast cancer when we were dancing, and so it was just she was just so strong and she would show up and she would keep teaching because that was what she was there to do. And she got through that, and so she had a lot of hardships. She also was pregnant and we had no idea. Yes, and she would dance with this belly and we had no clue. Yeah, she would teach us these dances and under that little T shirt she would be wed. Yeah, she's she's a

rock star. So what did you learn from interacting with twenty women on a regular basis? Pick your battles. I love that. Love that, like, is it really worth saying anything. It's really good thing to learn, especially with women, because sometimes women can go down a spiral and just like worry about stuff that probably, like you said, pick your battles shouldn't be a battle. So that's amazing, got took

that away. Yeah, And sometimes it's hard to bite your tongue when you just want to say because can you just give it up, your little bad apple over there, you need to go. But just gotta make it, make it work, and you know, the least amount of drama the better. Just trying to make everybody laugh and smile and have fun. And I've always feel like I'm always the goober in the group, which I like because I'm like, hey, if they're laughing, I mean they may be laughing at me,

but at least they're laughing. So that. Yeah, in the middle of this, you all show, all show. In the middle of this, you also auditioned for American Idol, and that was kind of like a life changing moment because this is happening the same time you're like dancing, you're starting the dancing first time, you're also auditioning. You make it to Hollywood. So when you auditioned, Steven Tyler and Randy and j Loo were there, and oh my god, I love j Lo. But what was it like to

see them in person? And how did that go? Because your voice is so soulful? Oh you're very well. Oh gosh, where to start with this one? So the NBA was on the lockout. I don't know if you remember that, but they didn't have the games, so it was almost like and I had such stage fright up to that point. I always love singing, but to be honest with you, I avoid every single major in college that had public speaking as a requirement because I cannot. At the time,

I couldn't do it. I was like, it's funny, it's changing you wrap and dancing karaoke and own a crowd. Like now, if you caught me back in college, there's no way, There's absolutely no So I um didn't take any of those courses in college just because of that. And then I started dancing, which then they would threw me in on interviews or I would obviously have to

be dancing in front of tons of people. So then I started to build some more confidence in front of the camera and everything and then we went to the lockout, so NBA stopped having games. So then I was like, well, shoot, you know, American I was coming to town. I think I'm sure. My parents were like, you gotta go, you gotta go. My dad is like my biggest man. He's set, so he's like, just try, just try. Why not? So I get it could yeah, but you're like, whatever, Dad,

There's so many people. So I think my year that I auditioned, there was a hundred and twelve thousand people that auditioned. Yes, ma'am, that is a lot. Did you have to wait in line? Yes? How will you will wait in line? And then you kind of fill on auditorium so it's like an arena, I mean, guaranteed to get to sing, you guaranteed sure if you get there early enough, so like you have a number whatever it is,

and then you kind of file out. At some point they stopped taking people because there's just a hundred people performing one day. Well, I think that was across America, so at the time, like in my thing, there might have been twelve thousand or something. I mean it was a lot though, yes, okay, and so yeah, so then you perform and then you have to go through a bunch of different stages honestly before you meet the judges. So you have to, like you get a lot of

people are getting eliminated before they even get time judges. Yeah, because they're not going to make those judges see everybody a d twelve people, you know, they're going to eliminate probably like I guess the worst and the best of the lunch, you know, and then so anyways, long behold, like a bunch of rounds happen, and then eventually later on I met the judges, which was when they gave me the ticket to Holly Would However, Steven Tyler liked me,

Randy like me. Jelo did not. Why was Jaylo thrown? She just hated me. I don't know, no idea. You were such a fan of her. I know, I was super bombed. It was like, even though I got that ticket to go to Hollywood, I was like sad, I came out and and my family's there and they're all, you know, yelling, and I'm like, oh yeah, yeah yeah. But in the back of my head, I'm like, dang, I really was thinking me and Jaylo, you know, I

was like saying, like she danced she said. I just thought, you know, she was totally going to be like girl yeah, and it was not. It was like girl, no go home, dang Okay, So how is Hollywood? What was that like? So you go to Hollywood when getting this golden ticket? I've always wondered what that is? Like so cool? So much anxiety exactly, I don't really know. Actually, last, that's when TV starts being filmed, right, like oh yeah, and they want you to cry. They want you, you know,

to be emotional and like go through the thing. Well not like a big crier, so they kept they would put the camera in your face if they thought you were about to get there, you know, like well tell us about it and then it makes you be upset. Well, I just remember being so full of anxiety because it's so scary because you know that you're about to perform um. Half the time, songs you don't really even know because they throw them on you, you you know. Sometimes like the

group round was really difficult. That would be very hard. You've seen harmonies too, and just like very I can't see harmony. I can't either. I can't hear that very hard. I know. I'm like I cannot be in a girl group, and I would love to be, but I cannot feel the same way. I can't eat a girl from either, even though I mean, harmonies are just like you either hear them or you don't, and I don't neither. I mean,

I'm like, I just gotta fade out exactly. So I remember, like we had the group round and I was the first one to start apapella. Oh my gosh. And right before we hit the stage, I'm on the side stage and I'm going there like count down to we walk out, and I turned to one of the girls in my group and I'm like, I don't know this song. I don't know this song. What are the first words? Yes, no, clue, what's the first line? What's the first line? Did she tell you? Yeah? She was like whatever it was, and

it came back to and died. It came to me and I was like, I said yeah after that because I was like, that was the big man upstairs because I totally drew a blank, and I ended up making it to the next round. Have no idea how that's amazing. So, I mean, you get it very far in American idol. I mean it like, you know, decently far farther than I expected to, for sure awesome and at the same time as when you met Jason too, right right, busy couple of years where you go from it was really

basking American I don't mean Jason. Yeah, and then I went to American Idol them back to dancing, and then feet back to the Bobcats, and then I moved to to Yes, Okay, so how do you decide to say, hanging up with the Bobcats? You know, I started to work with someone within the American Idol group, so or like production or whatever it was with one of the people, um, one of the people within the organization, I guess. And so then I ended up moving to l A. And

then how long did you live in l A? I lived in l A for only a year, and then I moved to Vegas worked at the Bella. Yes you did, girl, You have fun in Vegas and l A. I had so much fun. I actually, if it weren't for Jason, I'd probably still live in California, That's how much I loved it. Okay, So what were you loving so much of l A? I just love the weather. I loved

your Cali girl. Well, I just loved the beach. Granted, it's like the waters cold, and you know, but I like how everybody's kind of free spirited and you can kind of do whatever you want. You can look like crap or you can wear a dang you know, crazy crap walking down the road, end up matter, you know anything. I love that, and I just I don't know, I really enjoyed it. However, my whole family is in the South,

so I've always been kind of the butterfly. So I was like, one day I knew I'd probably make it back to the South, but I just needed to get that stuff out my sister, you know that resolutely too. So I was Vegas. Vegas was fun. I don't suggest living there. It's fun for like four days, I say, like two nights, three days, and I'm ready to like telling you, yeah, you get like twice a year. There's a while where I feel like the guys were traveling probably Jason goes all the time, and it was like

like almost every other month was Vegas. I'm like, this is too much Vegas. We're about to hit the A c M. S again. I was like, oh gosh, at least I don't gamble, because I've never had a temptation to go out and that's spend money or the rabit hole there. Oh yeah, so yeah, I just I worked at the Blaggio. That was really fun. I met some really cool people that I still talked to to this day.

It's just tough out there if you live because a lot of people are tourists, so making friends and stuff is just pretty difficult, you know, because it's like you meet people, but then they're gone in a few days, you know, and then you know everybody out there, a lot of people are about the nightlife. Did you dance in Vegas or no? I ended up singing. I actually got hired there to sing. Did I did? Yeah, because

I sang. One of the guys, oh Man, one of the guys that was singing when I went there to visit with some friends did idle with me, and he was on stage and was like, come up here and sing a song with me. So we were friends from IDOL and I did and then got off and then it kind of spiraled from there and they were moved to Vegas. Yeah, okay, why not sure what I was at the time. Still kind of am one of those people if you're like, let's move to Hawaii. It, I'll

give it a year. I love that, you know, totally, why not unless there's a reason why not? Why not? Why not? I was single, I didn't have anything going on, and I was like, sure, I just live it up. Yeah. I always say that the twenties are for yourself, you know, Like, I feel like, I'm so glad. I spent a majority of my twenties just chasing dreams, doing what I wanted to do. Really, and how are you got married? I

was twenty seven? Yeah, I feel like seven. I feel like that's the best to have, like your early twenties because, like anything in the early twenties, not me, you probably did because your head has been screwed on the hot mess. If I knew then what I know now, Oh how different my life would be, you know what I mean? Yeah, Yes, I feel like I'm just each year I just tell your younger twenties, Oh my god, she'll out a girl, she'll talk to that guy. Oh that guy. Maybe it's

an asshole. Yeah, it's not worth it. You think at the time things are so important. Yes, oh not at all exactly. I actually tell like Jason's daughters, I'm like, you're about to be one of them. You're about to be in high school. Whatever happens there at the time seems so important. It doesn't matter a mistake in high school. Absolutely, you can obviously bounce back from anything in camp. But like high school is not it. It's not And at the time you think it's it's always isn't like everything.

I liked it, but like I don't know, I was transferring. I transferred school. It's like, yeah, I was insecure in high school, insecure and in high school and college, like it was just kind of like, I don't know, I didn't feel good in my skin yet I didn't either. Actually, now that you say that, I had really bad acne being of skins, and I had really bad skin at the time, So you know, I don't know. I feel like I've missed out on a lot of stuff just

because of it. I know that sounds so silly, but I think that's why I'm made beauty so much now, Okay, So it made you feel so like self conscious that you wanted to how other people not feel that way? Goodness? Absolutely, is that what spurred your life. It made beauty and makeup because I remember there would be like pool parties and stuff going on in high school, and you know, my mom would say, do you want to go? And I'm like, uh no, do you see what's going on?

If I get the water acting yeah, not just like because your face is lawless. Would never I actually was on accutane six times, wow, six which if I don't even know if some doctors would even prescribe it to somebody six times. But I was crazy, right, Yeah, I know. So now I'm just super into skincare and like wear my sunscreen every day and always wanting it to be super clear, and you know, I get my peels and I do all my stuff because I don't know. It was just so it's almost like I'm making up for

lost time. And it was almost kind of like traumatizing. You don't want to go through that again. Yeah, I feel so bad for people. So talk to me about when you decided I'm going to make beauty my business,

because there was a thing that happened. I was like a transformation you started because I always knew you're, like you're the most gorgeous creature on this earth, but you started doing pop up like clinics like I don't know, classes or classes, and then like you really started making videos and like really helping people understand everyday looks, which I love because I can't figure out I can't figure out any looks. I'm like, I have one look that's night and day and I don't even know if it's

right or wrong. So when did you decide to make this your business because it just took off. Well, honestly when I married Jason, because I wanted to be able to be on the road, make money, do my own thing. So you actually have to get creative, yeah, because you know, I want to be with him obviously, I want to

experience all the cool stuff that he's experiencing. At the same time, don't want to lose myself because I'm so independent and have always had a job and stuff, and so, you know, for a while I kind of lived the road life and you know, just enjoyed it, enjoyed you know, not working for a minute. And then I was like twiddling my thumbs on the bus. So how is the road life? Tell me what road life is life? From your perspective? And I think, you know, but people think

it is so glamorous. It is not. I mean, you live out of a suitcase, You've got like dirty bus water. Not really, but kind of, Um, wasn't that potable water? It just turns your hair color really crappy, like yellow for me, I don't know. And then like I don't know, you just can't. You can't drink the water on the bus.

You gotta bush your teeth with a bottled water. I mean, you think it's so glamorous, and I try to make it as glamorous as possible by like dressing up and trying to look cute for the shows, and then there's only un Tour buses are like magical, you know, like store busses, but you cannot want you're like in life on a tour bus. They are amazing and it's way

better than a van or anything like that. Absolutely yes, But on one hand, like we're spold rotten with it because people get on it and they'll say, this is so nice. This is this is what you guys travel on. But it's like no, no, no, this is like what we live on. So even though it's nice for a minute, after a while it's close quarters quarters, you're like totally,

I'm over it within the first month of traveling, I swear. Um. It just depends sometimes I'm like, I've had enough for a minute, and we have, yes, because I think it was last year we went from January to October pretty much NonStop. I mean it was like, we're home Sunday afternoon, lee begin Wednesday afternoon. So it's like, and they earn more than your home. Yeah, so that is primarily our home. However, this year we decided to kind of decorate our ound bus.

Oh my gosh, you got to see it. I haven't seen it yet. It's just in the works right now. But we kind of didn't overhaul um, and so it really made it more homing, yes, because before we were just you know, getting busses and saying, Okay, this will do for a year or two, you know, and whatever. And then now this one's got a kennel for the dogs under our bonds, so the babies can under us rotten and you're happy, aren't you happy? You poop on a rugs? Thank you? But uh yeah, so we actually

put like time and effort into this bus. So I'm super excited for this year for the first time. I'm stoked to go on the road. Love it. Okay, So tell me how you decided to start doing like pop up, makeup classic. Um, yeah, that's pretty much how. I just wanted to be a Jason on the road and wanted to make money. And then I found that people were like, come to Texas, come to Minnesota, come here, come there.

I'm like, oh my gosh, what if I just held occasional classes and taught people what I know or what I do. I mean, it's not even like obviously what I do is not by the book by any means, but this is if you guys like it, I'll teach you. You You know, this is this is what I do. And how perfect though that fit your description of what you're wanting, like your own job, making own money. But it's flexible. Jason schedule actually works perfectly. It takes you

across the country exactly. And it was fun and I got to meet so many awesome girls and you know, make them happy, which was cool. And I would always pick someone within the class to do makeup on so one of the girls would get their makeup done that

day too, which is cool. And but for the most part, they were coming to the show, which was nice because either they learned something to do their makeup to go to the show or you know, to go out to events, but one of them got to get their makeup done for the show that night, so that was kind of cool. They all go to the show that night for the most part, a lot of them are you know, fans, and experience. It was really cool. I mean, I've kind of cut back on it a little bit just because

we haven't been on the road, and I haven't. I've done one in Nashville which did really really well. I need to do another one sometime soon. But yeah, I'm kind of just trying to enjoy the time off right now. But that's how I started doing the pop up shows, because I mean, why not make people feel good about themselves? And you have a quote which I love. You have this on your YouTube video introduction and you say I

love all things. I love all things makeup and beauty and making women feel great in their own skin, which I freaking love that you really do have a cause to make women feel great in their own skin, no matter what your skin is, because I know how it feels. Makeup can transform yours to like it really can make you feel confident. Trust me, I do not look like I do now in the morning when I wake up. This girl I which I could say I did, but I did note you did. You're sweet. My husband will

tell you differently. It's fun. I'm like, for the first however long we dated, I'm like, okay, I gotta get my crap together. Don't wake up. Luckily he sleeps forever, so I could get up and like for you and the patches up on and then like wake up and it's perfect. It's like on Bridesmaids, you know, when she goes to the bathroom, she puts her lips stone and she goes and gets like she never like it was natural.

So tell me something like one or two of the most transformational stories that you've experienced from helping a woman with her makeup. Oh gosh, have you had a moment that you're like, oh, this is like why I do this? Oh so many times, just honestly, like when people, you know, they don't really know how to do makeup, so they come in kind of bare faced, don't know what to do, and then at the end of me doing their makeup, I give them the mirror and it's like they want

to cry because they're like, that's me. They didn't know they could look like that. And it's really simple it's like little simple steps that make such a difference. So there was one that she was so flipping beautiful. I was like, she should cheer for the day Dallas Cowboy childers. This girl is just gorgeous and she had a few children, and she had never seen herself that way with makeup done properly on her face, and so she was like,

I can't wait to go see my husband. I'm going to tell him we got to go on a date tonight. And that always makes me feel good because I'm like, girl, get yes. And I think I've actually talked about this to several people. I think it is a okay and actually wonderful to feel sexy in your own body, especially for your husband, and more like just to feel good whatever it is, to feel like you like, feel great in your skin. Yes, that changes your whole outlook on life.

It does. It does, because I mean there's days obviously you wake up and you may feel a little bit of overweight, or you may feel like your skin is not good, or your hair is just funky or whatever's going on, and a lot of times that can you know dictate like how your day goes. I know that sounds kind of vain. I know, sometimes I'll have like a big breakout and I'm like, I just don't even want to go anywhere. I just want to stay at home with pimple cream on, you know, or like a

hair mask, like I need, I need a minute. And it's funny how stuff like that can dictate your how you feel that day. And so, you know, just trying to help women, you know, be the best them as far as looks go and stuff, it really does make a difference. So talking about your YouTube page, because you launched and you also kind of launched with Halloween looks,

which I think is great. At the same time, you did a combination like partnership with the dry House for the Day where you like gave people makeup for Halloween. So tell me about your YouTube page and what people can expect there because I know you have like a series of everyday looks, which I love, you have costume looks, Like what kind of things you want to are we

going to be expecting? Um? Just definitely there's whatever people request, really, even if it's like my skincare routine or you know, stuff with fashion, what it varies. Do you have like a certain type of product that you I have so many. The problem is is that I need. I'm almost thirty, so I need and big birthday. So ex I actually feel like it's fine, thirty fine, fine, you know what, you get better with age totally. I think. I think

thirties are the best. I wouldn't get back to my twenties for a million bucks, really no. But I was a hot mess in my twenties. I know I'm still kind of a hot mess. I feel like I might always be a hot mess. It's not put together, but at least my head's not totally insane like it used to be. Yes, I do have not things to feel. The babies, you got it. I can't wait for that lot some babies in the thirties, I do. Yeah, why the babies? Why not? Yeah? I don't know. But what

was the question. So the question was every day looks what you used for your face? Like, oh, Jame got it? Thirty yes, and then you're thirty. Yeah. So I have been trying to start with like the age preventative stuff and trying to do like you know, I creams and really help with wrinkles and stuff like use products that will help me look better. As far as age goes um. But the problem is is my skin so acne prone

and sensitive, so it's almost like I find it. It's like a day to day thing, like if I have a breakout, then I'll treat it with some acne products that day. If my face is feeling good and looking clear, then I'll treat the wrinkles that day. You know, it

just it varies based on what's happening that day. You would think that I would stop getting pimples, you know, around thirty, But no, no, I feel like I got an adult onset acne, Like in my late twenties I had nothing, and then they just all started coming in my thirties. I know. I don't understand. And being on the road is tough too because that recycled air. Yeah, you can't get fully clean on the road. I really don't think you cannot help bus venue unless you get

to like a hotel. It's always a little dirty. And my husband's kind of a hermit, so he doesn't like to leave the bus. Whereas if we have an option of a hotel, I'm like, please, babe, just give you one night. I just want to go. It's sprawl out in this kingsize bed take a shower for an hour, Yeah, you know, because you just don't get to do that on the bus. So I don't know. So it's hard

to stay is totally clean in a totally clean face? Yeah, because the water's not it's like gas station water, you know, because they fill it up. There can't be healthy. No. So if I was going to do like an everyday routine and I didn't want to spin forever doing it, how long would it take and how many products would I need? It depends if you want it to be pretty natural. I'm a little different because I have my things,

like I need my lip liner, I need eyeliner. You know, those are things unless I have a tan If you have a tan everything is better. Which I don't condone tanning. I condoned spray tanning. You think spright tanning is worse? No, it's great. Oh condoned What does that mean? You like it? Oh? Wait? What did I just say? I think you're right? No? I don't. I don't condone, but I do you Okay? Yes, wait, no, you're right supporting spray tanning, not tanning. But yes to me,

wrinkles to me, sun spots too much crap? Worth it? And everything I did in my younger years because my parents didn't quite believe in sunscreen. Okay they did, but not not often. You know. It's like, hey, put on your thirty once in a day at the lake and then you're good. No, when Tanny Beths came out, this is terrible. I used to double tanning, but like I would go to one in the morning and another one afternoon. Is that not insane? It's insane bute, And now I like,

oh my poor body, why did I do that? I know, so I'm trying now to reverse everything that I did as far as sun goes. You know, yes, that kind of sucks. So tell me what you're looking forward to in sens Is gonna be forty are exactly? Yeah, it's a big. It's a big and it's also seventeen, so it's lucky. Seven sevens are lucky that they need some luck. Okay, I'll tell you. Last year was something I think two th sixteen was a little rough for a lot of people.

Two sixteen was like great in so many ways, like obviously, like touring with you guys was like the best, and I launched this podcast. It was a great, But like I had a heavy year. It was just like an exhausting year for some reason. Yours was Bentley got diagnosed with cancer, my my buldog. Yeah, so that's kind of litle chubby. And we moved into this new house um

at the beginning of the year, so it was great. However, Jason was on the road and my mom and a couple of people came in town to help me move, and Bentley got diagnosed with cancer the day we were moving. So I was like in shambles, you know. I mean he was over there. He was actually in the hospital, but he just went south real quick. And then so it was like trying to tell people where to put

stuff and help them. And I'm over here just crying in the corner half the time, you know, because I'm like, I cannot lose him. I have had him since college. He is my heart, soul and everything in between. Like I know, it sounds so silly, but he is my man. He is other than my husband. He is like the most important thing to me. I swear, it's so weird to feel that way about a dog, but I do love you. Mia. She is at the fireplace. She's on the fireplace. You're cute she's just looking at you like

I'm ready to be held, Ready to be held. Oh she's she feels left out. Um so that you know, it started out with Bennie getting cancer and and luckily though, I had to find the silver lining it at all, because even though he got diagnosed, he's still kicking. And it's two thousand seventeen. So it's like, so, what was the silver lining that you found that he's still alive and he's still doing good. You know, he's in chemo,

but he's still here. So it's like, you know, I'm more than he's sick when he's feeling great and still here exactly, and I still have him and that's such a blessing. And then like I didn't, you know, lose anyone close to me. I always pray for everyone's health and I just want everyone to be safe, and like in my life still, I don't want anyone to pass away.

I have a really hard time with death. Um So, everyone immediate to me, you know, was did well, like as far as health goes, you know, for two thousand and sixteen. But then one of my really really good friends in Vegas, one of my girls, her baby passed away in the summer. It was right after my birthday in June, and that was like the worst, seriously, the

worst thing I've ever experienced in life. I don't think anyone should have to bury a child, their child period um, but you know, he was so he was five months so that was really really hard. I mean hard to this day. Think about it every day. I think about her every day. So that's it's tough. Life is so precious goodness, and it can change so quickly and change so quickly. It's like, I think too exactly kind of

what you're saying. You just have to like cherish it and not take it for granted and value the relationships because relationships, at the end of the day are really what makes all of it worthwhile. Absolutely, I'm like, we could lose all of this, everything can go away tomorrow. But if I still have my people, yeah, I'm good. You can rebuild, you can figure something else that I'm always like, we can move to Mexico, open a taco stand. How fun would that be? We should actually consider you

really wouldn't be mad, would be mad at all. So, you know, I mean, there was it was a great year in some aspects, and then sad and others. So but I think you know, we're thinking babies. I would love babies. If God would give me some, bless me with some, I would totally be happy about it, you know, yeah, totally. Maybe I'll try to have some with you. Let's have twins, yes, in October? In October. Well, I tell Michael, maybe we'll

start trying in October. We're trying to get him on. Yeah, but he'll just be so happy, especially if you have a girl, be a little you, He'll be oh my gosh, she'll never be the same. Do you want a little girl and a little boy? I want I want a boy and I want a girl. Okay, twins, I'm telling you the twins are the way to go. But then you think about our lifestyle and the way that we travel. Could you travel with twins? I guess you figured it out. I guess you do. I mean you just have to write.

I mean, ifce can do it. However, Jason does not want Nanny's not even like a good friend that could help watch the kids. I mean maybe, okay, mom, which he would love that, but he's just like, no, absolutely not. We can do this by ourselves. I'm like, so tell me about road, Like what would that look like? Because that's the thing that I can never quite figure out how to do that part of I don't know, because like I feel like we would miss out on a

lot being the mom. Yeah, you know, can't go to everything that and then the boys don't start playing untill later, you know, Jason doesn't go on till nine thirty at night, so then I can't go to the show because I've got babies or a baby, you know. And then he doesn't get done till eleven once they hang out with his band, which I don't blame him, you know, or whatever, but then it's like you just kind of kick it by yourself, you know, And I feel like that that's hard.

It's hard to let go of that. Like I can, I'm on my own schedule, can do whatever I want. If I want to go over here and have a drink, I can. If I want to go watch the show, I can, you know, entertain all your friends that are in town. M And I think that kind of but I guess we all have to keep evolving, huh or not? We decided not to have babies. Lots of animals, lots of animals just saying I'll have save every dog, save them all. I really want to do that, actually rescue.

If you do it, I'll help you out. I promise. That's part of my I want to do that on my bucket list one at one point in my life, I know I want to do it too. I hear here there's like kill shelters in Nashville, and I had no idea. Okay, so you should start swooping up those dogs. Start started out here. Yeah, we have a barn. Great,

that's all. You need to get a vet to come, like, you know, once a week, just like monitor the pets, and then they can we can get donations to make sure they're all vaccinated, and then people will come adopt them and will be perfect. It sounds like such a dream. I wouldn't even go on the road anymore. That would know my full focus. Yes, totally. I think that'd be a great focus to put that on the bucket list. I do too. Something else that you have done with Jason.

I think it is so cute is you'll do these like car veraokey his heart and I make him do it is the funniest stuff ever. And I feel like it's so funny. See Jason like that because I don't know if people expect that he's so funny. He is so funny. He's so funny, he really is, and he's so sarcastic. Our humor is so different. He's sarcastic and

says things and like won't laugh. And then you know, I say, I do not have a filter sometimes, so I will just talk like stuff I should not ever say, but I say it, and so we were just so different it he's so sarcastic and I'm just so different.

So anyways, I was like, this is fun babe. I feel like people should be able to see your personality more because they only see, you know, when he does interviews, he's a little more like proper and that's not really him because he's like a joking all the time, right all the time, and people don't know that you think he's being serious. You're like, oh my gosh, it took me a minute, you know, being funny, he's just snastic. He's sarcastic as crap. And I had I'm like, okay,

was he serious? Does he really think that my jeans look like crap? I'm confused, you know, He's just God, I need to change. Yeah, So in these car videos, what are you calling him? They're like, I don't know what they are. It's like karaoke car kind of. And y'all are like, listen to rap songs that you get so funny because you get like road rage a little bit driving like you are like people. I don't understand people. I literally like the first time you posted it almost

had tears my eyes laughing so high. I was like, this is the funniest I ever. No need your own TV. I get car sick. So if I'm not driving, you're the driver. Yeah, I always drive because when he drives a he cannot drive. First of all, he is like all of the place. So I get carsick. Even if I didn't get carsick, I would throw up because he was driving in general. But I get carsick just what in any situation. So I drive, which makes him so

scared because he's not in control, you know. And then I like rap, and I like R and B, and I like totally different music than him. He's like classic classical rock, and but he's he's knowing these words. I see him wrapping now he does. I'm like, baby, you gotta learn this song. This is our next karaoke jam. He's like, he tries that doctor dry and eminem. I think you all should like honestly do your own TV show together. He would never. I's just the thing. We're funny,

but boy, we are passionate people. Let me just say, I'm like, oh, if people only knew, if they could be a fly on the wall. I think that's great. You need passion. I know. It's just like when we get up set, we're upset, and I'm like, that's something that you have to you have to be okay and willing to let people into that part of your life and let you know, like people judge a lot. Some people loved it really difficult because it's like, oh, because

you're freaking saint whatever, people love to judge. I love it. I know. We just can't worry about that. He's gonna hate. I know. I think the thing is Jason would never want cameras in the house that much. I get that. Actually, like living such a public life, you do like to have your sanctuary because we're so I mean, it's so public when we're on the road, we come home and we're like, you know, so coming home and having cameras,

he would probably be like, okay, everybody get out. But you did do that one time with Tank when you surprised him. He him and you surprised him on that show Tank with a big fish tank and call it off. I did. I can't believe he did come up to some cameras. You loved it. He loved it. But the thing is I had to go pro on the Polarists that I drove to our barn to pick him up at and so the whole time, like, I can't believe he didn't realize what was going on. But I was like,

you pulled it off. I know. I was like, I had to think of stupid stuff, like baby, I remember that go pro You've got me a couple of years ago. Whatever I learned how to use it, I want to stick it on the players and come pick you up and see if it works. And you know, it's just like he's like, all right, I mean that's weird, but okay. So it's just little things that you had to think about. That. Oh and the worst part, so we the whole crew hid their cars and everything they put there, like equipment

on our back porch. So when I pulled up to the garage, the park of the players. He turned around and all of the camera equipment and stuff was on the back porch, and he's going, the heck is all that? What is that? And he starts walking that way. I was like, oh, I've been working on my blog. I had, yes, yes, I started. This is funny. Um, I had to make it up. So I was like, I've been working on my blog and people were over here with camera and stuff like helping me. So he's kind of like, all right,

that's bizarre that you didn't tell me that. But okay, I start breaking on in hives full blown, and you are about to be filmed for take because you're about to chan him. I have hives everywhere because you're taught me I can't lie. That's good, Yes, you can't lie. I mean you break out and high. I broke out everywhere. So in the show, I have this like shawl thing and I don't even know what you call it, and I just wrapped myself up and people thought I was pregnant.

They thought it was like hiding a belly, hiding your hives. I was hiding my hives, Brittany, that's hilarious. Broke out everywhere because I was so nervous, stressed out, upset that I had just lied like everything. I was broken out everywhere. So I just hid in this thing, like, oh my god, I just don't pay that cameraver here. Yeah, oh my god. The things that people go on behind the scenes. You know you have no clue there, Like she's hiding a vamp,

she's pregnant. I'm like, I'm just broke out because I'm freaking stressed out. You know, I can't believe I pulled it off. But we have a hitch, which is amazing. We have this awesome fish tank. It's gorgeous and there was a perfect spot to put it. I think so too. That was our Christmas tree spot. And Jason's like, well, now we don't have any where to put the tree. I'm like, as whatever, you gotta put it in the corn gorgeous of the house. Who cares this is? This

is awesome. So you've got an eel. His name's nesty like the locknest monster. I get attached. Oh my gosh, they're my baby. They are. One's name's Kickstand. He's so funny. He'll swim and then he'll stick his fin out real quick and just chill and then I'll swim and then he'll just chill about make up world. Just can we be looking forward to to in the makeup world? Your own line? Ye? Maybe maybe some stuff like I've been looking ato clothes too, because I'm like super into clothes

and fashion and stuff. Thank you. I think it's time for you to put together a line. Yeah, line, or maybe I actually was thinking about opening a store in Nashville too. You should. Yeah, it could be kind of like a beauty clothing store as well, but something to put energy into and like feel you know, a little more accomplished and kind of build build a brand, and you've got a brand. Work on that. Thanks whatever you saw,
