I'm a professional contortionist and this is how I work it.

I'm going to take you through 24 hours of my beauty and wellness routine.

I started doing this when I was about 12 years old and I saw a Youtube video of a contortionist, I was like, oh, this is cool and I tried it and I realized, oh I can't do contortion.

I started teaching myself at home by like studying the Youtube videos, trying to get every pose right now, basically train at least an hour a day or until my arms just get really exhausted and I just can't do any more handstands.

I'm always trying new tricks and new transition movements.

I couldn't tell you how many poses, like I do a lot, probably one of the best moments of my life was probably when I got the golden buzzer on America's Got Talent, I was so shocked and just never expected that at all.

That was the craziest thing that has ever happened on my Youtube channel.

I do my contortion tricks or just funny videos.

I think I have like 400 videos on my channel, I've been making videos every week for about 3.5, 4 years now and never skipped a week, which is crazy, but it's like what I love to do.

So people think with contortion it's a lot of just being flexible, but there's actually a lot more strength and core work to it than just being flexible.

I say, what makes me want to do this every single day is just loving contortion, loving the creativity of it, how you can just express yourself through your movement.

It's kind of like dancing except my own kind of version.

Good morning guys, It's currently like nine o'clock right now.

I normally wake up around the same time every day, no matter how late I go to bed, Oh my God, like obviously right now I was up kind of late editing a video, I'm just going to stretch to wake up a little bit more for me waking up in the morning and a morning stretches me doing contortion, so it kind of just like roll around and I can get a stretch.

I can't just be like, I just got a bed in half.

Yeah, just do that for a little bit and then I probably get a shower, get ready.

So I just got out of the shower and I kind of put on some clothes and my hair is wet right now.

I can't just brush it out while it's wet.

I'll put some leave in conditioner mixed with regular conditioner in my hair is friendship up with my hands.

That's kind of, the calls are coming back, then I'll diffuse it to dry it faster.

It's going to do this for a while.

No, it's try after that, I'll have breakfast to make myself this, it's kind of a solid, take some spinach cabbage with this avocado, take a lemon and I'm gonna squeeze it on the avocado, so then I'm just going to mix it in like it's a dressing to my salad, I'm going off the teeth.

If I know I'm going to hand bouncing, I'll normally just eat fruits or like salad so that it's very light and normally make sure before I do hand bouncing, not to eat at least an hour or two before for performance, I'll not eat for like at least four hours before, so I eat breakfast after that.

I'll normally go and do a little bit of makeup.

I'd say my camera makeup, I always like to keep it natural.

I don't really like too much makeup with my performance makeup, I do a little bit more, just like a little bit more of everything.

The first stop in my performance routine for makeup is I just take a little bit of concealer.

I just put it in like spots that needed this spot.

Used to keep them both.

I like to blend it in with my fingers.

I feel like it comes off better than if you use a beauty blender with my nails.

I normally don't have them too long doing him bouncing or like aerial hoop for things like that.

You can usually break in hill and that hurts.

I normally do gel nails because they stay on longer.

I use just normal nail polish to like chip and break off, but I like doing my nails because in performances normally they always zoom up on my hands.

So if your nails aren't done, you're just gonna, it's not gonna be pretty, people think it's mainly arm strength, it's actually more finger strength of balancing.

When I first started hand balancing, I was like where my finger's getting sore, it's this part of your arm and then your fingers, I'm going to take a little bit of powder just to like, I don't shine just gonna dabble around and then blush.

I love blush.

Sometimes I put a little too much on, but I just, I feel like I can't go without blush and lip gloss if I have those things like I don't need anything else and then I'll normally take some highlighter.

It makes you just pop out on performance is just a little bit more kind of like sparkles but like less dramatic and sometimes I'll put just a little bit on top of my lip and then some on my nose and then I love to put highlighter in the corner of my eye.

I think it makes your eyes pop out a little bit more.

The next thing I'm gonna do is lashes for performances a lot of time.

I'm really far and high up on a hoop in the air so people aren't gonna really see my face is clearly, especially if I'm like spinning a lot.

So I normally do lashes just because it brings out your eyes a little bit more what is up everybody.

So I've been getting a lot of these questions, Do I have a spine.

So a long time ago, a Youtuber had asked me like, do you have a spine?

And I jokingly said, no, I don't have a spine.

And from there it just took off and I never actually answered, as you can see, it doesn't really look like I have one.

So who knows if I have a spine and honestly, I don't even know the answer to that.

So now I'm gonna put it, you know, it's really difficult to get it to look natural ish I actually haven't put my makeup on in contortion.

I've done other people's makeup with my feet before I do here.

I'm actually trying to make it good one time.

It turned out not horrible, but most of the time it kind of turns out.

But I mean it's not bad for doing makeup with your feet.

I've gotten really coordinated with my feet actually, which is kind of scary at times because I'll be out with my friends and I'll just do random things with my feet, like things you would do with your hands.

And then they get weirded out about it and they're like, what?

And I'm just like, oh, this is this is not for me.

So I got the first lash on now.

I just gotta put the second one on, I discovered lashes when I was on America's got time.

She was like, oh, would you want to put lashes on?

I was like lashes, What's that?

And then she put them on me.

And I was like, oh, I like these gT got me into, I've gotten really used to leaving my hair down and doing a bunch of poses.

Actually practice doing areas with my hair down.

It gets difficult at times because when your hair is in your face, it's hard to focus on one specific spot to balance a lot of time.

It ends up getting in the way.

Like, if you're going to do a neck hang, which is when I hang on the back of my neck on the hoop, my hair will sometimes getting away and it's such a difficult pose.

Any little sweat on your neck or anything that could go very badly.

So normally aerials, I put my hair up be coupled up.

So then for the next part, I'm basically just going to brush out my eyebrows just to make sure they're like straight and then I'm going to put on my lipstick.

So basically almost up.

Yeah.

Mhm.

And then I just put a glass.

Yeah.

And then, and then that's it.

That's all my makeup, definitely put on too much blush.

But that's okay after that.

I'll go with my brother and talk about ideas for youtube videos.

Okay, so then what's the concept of it?

Like, what's the intro?

Is it weird to say, I think better upside down.

I don't know.

Even if I'm not training.

I'm upside down a lot, not even like doing contortion, I'll just either be on a couch upside down or on a chair and like sit upside down.

I love to sit down again.

People say the blood rushes to their head when they go upside down, but I think I've been upside down so much that that doesn't happen to me anymore, so I can be upside down for as long as I want for me and my brother were very close, I enjoy working with him, we work really well together and I have a spot, zak calm now.

Yeah, we both help each other in different ways after we come up with a Youtube video idea, we pretty much start almost right away.

What's up guys?

It's okay, welcome back to the six video.

Unless for some reason we took too long to come up with the video idea, then we'll just filling up the next day, my favorite kind of videos or my dance videos.

I've done dance videos with matt Stephanie, know who's like, this amazing choreographer.

I love doing videos with him because we always add a contortion into it and make it look trippy, which I haven't done with other people before.

It's really fun to create them.

And also to kind of create a story to them.

It's almost like music video kind of, the, I'd say contortion for me is a lot, like dance where when people express themselves with dance, it's me expressing myself in a different way with contortion, but doing more like, creative poses with it and telling a story through that.

So, um I cook with my feet sometimes.

Um yeah, I'm making a, making a pizza with my feet, you know, the food normally doesn't turn out that great, so we're gonna grab the flour, the fact that I'm not that great of a cook, and then I cook with my feet, it kind of doesn't work all together, but you know, I do it anyways, I did wash my feet before, you're like, oh, you did it with your feet, That's gross, this looks God awful, but it's actually not that great normally afterwards.

I mean, I say that in my videos is not that great, but you know, it's something else can say, they made a pizza with their feet, so we'll start filming together and depending on the video, it'll either take like, a full day or maybe it will even take just like, a few hours.

Anyways guys, thank you so much for watching this video.

I love you guys.

Peace after that.

I'll normally start warming up my toes a little bit for stretching my toes and my splits, and then I'll go run on the treadmill for about five minutes to kind of warm up your body.

I mean, that's the perfection in me is.

I always make sure everything looks like I'm not trying at all, and it's just coming super easy to me.

Look how easy a one arm is, look how easy twisting this direction is.

That's what I try to master when I'm training from there, I'll start doing some, press handstands to warm up or just one arms on each side.

And then from there I start trying new poses and either creating videos for instagram or just trying to come up with the opposes or new routines to be honest, I don't have a list of how many, I just like know them in the back of my head because there's so many, probably millions of movements you can do on comm portion, which is why I love it so much, you'll thank you.

Hit a point where you can't come up with anything and then something will pop in my head that's like super beyond crazy and I'm like, oh, there's some more stuff.

Every move is really hard to have to keep repeating it over and over to get it super perfect.

A lot of people ask me if it's painful and I wouldn't be doing contortion if it was painful.

If anything it's more fun for me, the only difficult part with contortion is making sure you're doing in the right way and if you fall to fall in the correct way, basically make sure you know, your body so that you don't hurt yourself.

People think like getting into a pose is really hard, but sometimes it's getting out, that's even harder, depending on where your body is twisting and stuff, it's harder to use your back muscles to lift yourself up back from it and to control yourself down to where it doesn't look like, Oh, she thought of that pose versus being super controlled and slowing yourself to come down onto the floor.

I make up the names for my poses because I don't know the actual names because I was just like either see them online or I'll create a pose.

And so then I'll just like make up a name.

I do have a favorite pose.

I call this one, the suspended chair.

It's where I'm kind of sitting in a back bend, but my legs are lifted off the ground, so it looks like I'm suspended.

That's like a really hard pose.

The very few contortionists can do.

So I really like that one.

I'll normally have the rest of the day to train, so I'll just take my time on that basically do it till I just get super tired.

Sometimes I'll finish off by doing aerials in my backyard, even though arrows are hard, it's a little bit less difficult.

So my dad helped build all my canes and my rig in my backyard.

We kind of make a bunch of things together whenever I'm like, I feel like we should make up a new apparatus.

We'll both design something at home and see if we can make it.

So hand bouncing for me is like a workout in itself, but a workout basically for me, it's not like contortion and hand balancing.

I'll normally go for runs a lot.

Um, I actually enjoyed going on runs.

It makes me feel good.

I'll normally workout my abs crunches, things like that.

I'll even work out my toes.

It's kind of a weird thing to say, but it helps you for like your point, so your points, nice and pretty.

Just little things like that.

Normally after I trained, sometimes I'll go in the studio with my brother, we made the garage, kind of like a studio.

My brother does music producing.

So sometimes I'll just sit in there and hang out and listen to beats he's making and things like that.

Normally actually when I meditate, I'll normally meditate when I know I have a performance coming up that week.

I'll normally meditate almost every night.

What I'll do is I'll visualize my performance.

I've always done that since I did competitive gymnastics, that's always helped me being more confident.

Performing, just knowing I'm not going to make a mistake.

Well if I'm sore or my body is really tired, I'll either go in my hot tub in my backyard or yeah, I'll take a bath and put some salt in it.

Just relax from there.

Then I'll just get ready for bed, put on some pajamas, so I'm just gonna take off my makeup and then go to sleep.

This sounds funny.

I use hand soap for my face, like bar soap.

You know, I've actually never used lotion on a daily.

I feel like I've never needed, needed to wait after a day of all that.
