SS: What inspired you to post videos on YouTube? I often got requests to do people's makeup and was often asked on fashion advice. It has always been a hobby of mine and decided I wanted to share my tips with the world.

SS: What makes your channel unique? I think my personality does. We all have troubles in our life and I try to remind my viewers to look at the brighter side of things and appreciate life more.

SS: What was your big break? When I got a Brand Ambassador deal with Maybelline. Fashion Week has always been a dream of mine and I got the opportunity to represent the brand.

SS: When did you first realize you had a lot of fans? When I started receiving emails on how I helped inspire or had an impact in someone's personal life. And then when I stated getting recognized in public warmed my heart to see the faces of my viewers.
