B
Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.
- [01:30]
A
Of course. Oh, my gosh. I had so much fun with you at Earth USA Nationals. You were glamming with us every day. So fun. And now you're here with us shooting for the new palette.
- [01:39]
B
Yes. Thank you so much for having me. You guys did such a great job on. On me and the other girls during prelims, and I'm so excited to. To work on the new palette with you guys. I know, but yeah, yeah.
- [01:51]
A
I feel like you're such a big part of the Lady Code sisterhood now. I remember being backstage and we're like, getting dressed and getting your hair changed and doing everything in like, 30 seconds, and you're, like, practicing your speech that fast.
- [02:03]
B
Change was insane. I literally could not have done it without you guys. I don't like evening gown. We did the hair change, makeup change, just everything. It was chaotic. But thank you for helping me because I would not have been able to.
- [02:15]
A
Do it without you guys. Oh, my gosh.
- [02:17]
B
Of course.
- [02:17]
A
So I think our first talking point since we're all into makeup right now is tell me about how sustainable beauty is so important to you.
- [02:23]
B
Yes. I know that Lady Code is a sustainable makeup brand, and you guys have actually donated to different sustainable charities. Right. So I think that's really amazing. And it's vegan, cruelty free, and so, yeah, sustainable makeup is so important because you Know, we use it so much on a day to day basis, and there's a lot of waste that's accompanied with makeup products, with the packaging itself. So finding ways to kind of reduce packaging and waste and just being more sustainable about from where it's manufactured to the end of its life.
- [02:55]
A
I love that waste. I feel like, as makeup artists, me and Danielle Mullins noticed that we were, like, throwing away so many wands. Right. So Danielle's charity that we donated to was Wands for Wildlife. So you know all about that. And perfect. We love reducing. Okay, so you're into performing. Right. So I want to talk about the connection between dance and beauty.
- [03:15]
B
Yes. Okay. Well, I performed ever since I was five. The Nutcracker started with.
- [03:21]
A
I love the Nutcracker. What were you.
- [03:22]
B
I was a little. I feel like every girl that's like, we started as a mouse right of passage. Yes. From the party scene. I was. I was that. I was practically every. Every role. So I did that all throughout growing up as a kid through high school. And so I started wearing makeup at a really young age just. Just for performing.
- [03:44]
A
Right.
- [03:44]
B
Performing purposes. And so when you're on stage, you really have to wear, like, heavy, heavy amounts of makeup because all that light on you has to show from the people standing in or sitting in the. In the stands. And so really, you know, you want to look your best, you want to feel your best, you want to perform your best. And so really, that starts with. With your makeup and having a good look and a good, good base, good foundation.
- [04:09]
A
I love that. And I feel like that boosts your confidence and it makes you feel better overall. Especially in, like, pageants, having the right hair and makeup will, like, make a big difference.
- [04:17]
B
Oh, that's.
- [04:17]
A
You're not feeling it. You know, you. You can tell.
- [04:20]
B
You can tell, definitely. Like, for me, I cannot do slick back looks. I will. I will literally shrink inside of, like. No, not the slick back. I will literally look. But I. I like my hair down. I feel like that makes me feel more confident and flirty, especially in swimsuit, so. Oh, yeah, yeah. But hair and makeup definitely make a difference. For sure.
- [04:41]
A
I love that. And I love that it started with the Nutcracker. Okay, we have so much to talk about because there's, like, what do you not do? Right. So you're also a nurse?
- [04:49]
B
I'm a registered nurse, yes.
- [04:50]
A
So tell me why you became a nurse.
- [04:52]
B
Well, my whole family's in metal in the medical field, and so I've always kind of been attuned, kind of towards that. And I love helping people. My mom's a nurse and I. I love my mom so much. I take, like, huge inspiration from her and just seeing her, like, work really hard every day just to provide for us as a single mom growing, you know, she really, she really put her heart and soul into being a nurse and was able to take care of us. And so, you know, it's a really great career. It's a stable job. You can do whatever. Like, you can go in so many different avenues in nursing itself. And so it's a, it's a very, very nice career and job, and I enjoy it a lot.
- [05:27]
A
Where do you work? Like, what is your day to day?
- [05:28]
B
I work, Yes. I work actually night shift, so it's night tonight. But I work at Overlook Hospital in Bellevue, Washington, and I'm on the orthopedic neurology spinal unit.
- [05:39]
A
Wow.
- [05:39]
B
And so, yeah, it's like a specialty unit, but I kind of want to go maybe labor and delivery or. That would be so fun.
- [05:46]
A
Like, you're literally bringing life into the world.
- [05:47]
B
Yes, that would be so beautiful. I get to wear pink. So.
- [05:53]
A
You'Re like me, I get to wear pink?
- [05:54]
B
Yes.
- [05:54]
A
Sign me up. So on that note, tell me about how you're bridging health and the planet.
- [06:00]
B
Yes. So when I was working in the hospital, I realized that there's like a lot of waste that goes on within the healthcare system. You know, just like when you use it on a patient, you discard it. Not only that outside, like there's microplastics, plastics, that are affecting our health, our human health. And so I'm trying to educate people on the dangers of single use plastics and plastics as a whole. And microplastics, how they accumulate in our food, our water systems. And so it's severely impacting our health on a molecular level. So, yeah, just kind of spreading awareness about it. And I started my eco exposure Explorers club. And so I'm educating kids and getting them inspired about environmentalism and just teaching them ways that they can make a difference. Because I believe, you know, if you're teaching kids at a young age, you're basically shaping a better future for tomorrow. Because you're 100. Yeah. Yeah.
- [06:53]
A
And you're in, like the perfect place for that. Like, living in Washington, I feel like it's such a, like, nature friendly state. I'm so jealous.
- [06:58]
B
It is. I honestly cannot see myself anywhere else. I love Washington. It's so beautiful. And I'm so glad, Grateful to have grown up there because it's really it's really made me appreciate, like, nature as a whole and how we need to take care of mother nature. We got the mountains, we got the beaches, we got the lakes, we got the rivers. Yeah, we have everything beautiful.
- [07:18]
A
I love the mountains in Washington. And tell me about nurses for nature. You started that also. Oh, my God, yes.
- [07:25]
B
So that's kind of like my tagline, which encompasses, you know, eco explorers and everything that I'm doing. So I am a nurse for nature. So that's. It's pretty self explanatory. It's just a catchy little nurse for nature. So I'm just trying to get my community and bridge, you know, healthcare and the environment.
- [07:43]
A
That's such a good name. And it goes all, you know, hand in hand with your platform.
- [07:47]
B
Right, My platform.
- [07:48]
A
Okay, so real quick, because we're talking about platforms and pageants. Okay. Tell me all about your experience at Miss Earth usa.
- [07:54]
B
Oh, my goodness. Okay. It's. I know it's been a long. This has been the longest.
- [07:58]
A
It's a long year.
- [08:01]
B
We've had the state title since last year. It's been about a year. It's been a very long pageant. But it's been ultimately so rewarding. I feel like I've grown so much in throughout all these experiences. Prelims. That was. That was so fun meeting all the girls and just having that arrival and there was so many of us. And so I actually got to know all the girls pretty well in that week. I remember the first few days we got dinner together and it was really good bonding experience. And a lot of the events prior to, like the main. The main prelim days were really fun, like the pajama night and all that stuff.
- [08:41]
A
And this was all in New York. Oh, this was.
- [08:45]
B
This was way back in Nationals. Three different pageants.
- [08:47]
A
I feel like you have your national.
- [08:48]
B
Pageant in January and then you have.
- [08:50]
A
Your reality show filming, which was in New York, and then you have your coronation, which is like literally in a few days.
- [08:57]
B
Yes. So stay tuned, please. Watch.
- [08:59]
A
Oh, my gosh.
- [09:00]
B
Yes.
- [09:00]
A
Okay, so you're talking about the first one.
- [09:02]
B
The first one. But I guess we can skip over that. We can talk about the filming.
- [09:06]
A
Yeah, we're all about the filming.
- [09:08]
B
Oh, my goodness. We were freezing our butts off. But hopefully you guys couldn't tell.
- [09:12]
A
No, I couldn't tell at all. I watched like three episodes.
- [09:14]
B
I know that we had like blankets and jackets in between takes. And like, they would. Yeah, they would, like, put it on us. And it was really cool. Really nice of them.
- [09:22]
A
To do that.
- [09:23]
B
But it was so fun just being in such close quarters with the other girls. We all bonded, and we had, like, different floors and different units and different rooms. And so some of us were sharing rooms, some of us weren't. So it was just. It was a cool experience. It was kind of like big brother, but big, big sisters. I don't know. Reality. Who was your roommate?
- [09:43]
A
Or did you have your own room?
- [09:44]
B
So I had my own room, but on my floor was Sarah, Giselle, and Gianna. And so I feel like we were kind of like the introverts. Like, we kind of just stayed in our separate rooms. We, like, just kind of chilled. I know other girls were like night owls and all that, but we all valued our privacy and, like, our kind of like, our downtime.
- [10:02]
A
Like, it all worked out, right? I feel like the night owls were.
- [10:05]
B
Together and the introverts were together. Definitely. It was.
- [10:08]
A
It worked out.
- [10:09]
B
It was fine.
- [10:10]
A
I love that. And were you mostly team pink or team green?
- [10:13]
B
I would have to say team green. I feel like most of the time I was team green anyway, but shout out to Danielle. I mean, I was on her pink team once, so I believe once or twice.
- [10:23]
A
But yeah, it looks so funny either way. And did you actually have to, like, were there actually worms?
- [10:28]
B
There were worms in the giant. Yeah, it actually. Okay. They were kind of cute. I think Francis named one of them. One of the. One of the girls named them Carlos or something. I don't know, but it was really silly.
- [10:41]
A
Was that the most, like, down to earth thing you had to do, or.
- [10:43]
B
Was there something else? Oh, probably. Well, that and then the fact that I was literally on all hands and knees digging in the sand during the outdoor challenge for the sweat, sand and sleigh episode. Episode three. I just remember being, like, knee deep in that sand, looking for the paddle, and everyone was like, you looked craz.
- [11:01]
A
What? I'd rather do that than, like, dig through worms. Fair enough.
- [11:05]
B
Fair enough. At least you're in the sand.
- [11:07]
A
At least you're in the beach.
- [11:08]
B
Yeah, exactly.
- [11:09]
A
What was your favorite thing from filming?
- [11:11]
B
Oh, my goodness. Probably probably just spending time with my sisters and, like, filming behind the scenes. And honestly, the food. The food was great. Shout out to the cooks. But ultimately, I think my favorite thing was just bonding with my sisters and having, you know, those challenges and, like, literally trauma bonding over the cold and being cold together and these challenges that were intense. Yeah, it was fun.
- [11:34]
A
So have you done Passions before?
- [11:36]
B
I've done one Pageant before, yes. Two years ago. 2023. That was my first one ever. I little did I know. You know, what. What was I signing up for? I just never thought that I could be a pageant girl or could be in pageantry, you know, but you're, like, a gorgeous Filipino. Like, of course I just did it. And, you know, growing up, I've only ever watched Miss Universe because that was what was on tv. That was what was advertised. And I always saw this girl, like, wow, you know, are all so beautiful and so talented and smart. But never did I think that I could do it until, you know, I signed up, and here I am today on this earth.
- [12:13]
A
Yeah. So was there any, like, big difference between your. Like, a regular pageant and then, like, this reality show one? If you could pick, like, which one would you pick?
- [12:21]
B
Oh, goodness. Probably the reality show. Well, like. What do you mean? Like, like, between a normal pageant and. Well, we kind of did both for this one. You definitely. Can I do both? Yeah. Can I choose?
- [12:31]
A
You're doing both?
- [12:32]
B
Yeah, I'm doing both. So.
- [12:35]
A
Time to wait for coronation. But I feel like that time is, like, so precious, and it's, like, the best part, like, the journey.
- [12:40]
B
Definitely the journey I still got to do. You know, you still got to work on your advocacy, work on your platform, kind of further that more with the national finalist title, and you had more time to prepare for the filming between all the, you know, the months in between. So it was. It was nice. It was a good. It was a good break, too.
- [12:58]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really good. That's healthy. And to have, like, a mental health break.
- [13:02]
B
Definitely. Yeah.
- [13:04]
A
Okay, so speaking of your heritage, tell me about representation and your Filipino culture.
- [13:09]
B
Yeah, so I'm Filipina. I was born here in the US In Washington. I wish I was born in the Philippines. That would have been awesome. But both my parents were born in the Philippines, and they moved over here when they were young. And so I do have a big support with the Filipino community back in Washington state and in Maui. And so it's just really. It's. I'm really proud to be a Filipina. I remember there was a time, though, growing up when I wasn't so proud. I grew up in a pretty predominantly, you know, not so diverse town, and so I was one of the only Asian Americans, I guess you could say, there in my school. And so that felt really isolating to me. I kind of was ashamed. I mean, I didn't want to be Filipino. I didn't want to be what I was. And if I could, like, go back and tell like, my little girl. Oh, my. Gonna cry. But I could just give her a hug and be like, you should be proud of your cult, your heritage.
- [14:03]
A
No, I relate to that so much. Like, I'm going to cry, too, because I literally had the same childhood. I feel like moving to Virginia. When I was in middle school, I was half Japanese, so I looked Asian. And people have never seen an Asian girl before.
- [14:14]
B
Right.
- [14:14]
A
So I was bullied every day. Like, they would pull their eyes, and, like, I didn't want to look Asian. Like, I didn't want to show up looking Asian. And that's actually what got me into makeup. I learned how to make my eyes look more blonde with makeup, and it's so messed up. Like, I hate saying that. That's what I did. I know, but that's what I did, and that's how I learned how to make eyes look really big. And I feel like that became my signature thing. So it's like, you are stunning, but.
- [14:40]
B
Now you're owning it.
- [14:41]
A
And I feel like it's a superpower, especially in pageants, because you have that big community that supports you.
- [14:47]
B
Right.
- [14:47]
A
So important.
- [14:48]
B
Like, so empowering and important to have that. And it's gotten me so in touch with my culture just having this platform.
- [14:55]
A
If only we knew.
- [14:57]
B
Yes. But, yeah, if I could just hug her, be like, it's okay. Like, be proud of who you are, then I would. But I am definitely proud today. Yeah, definitely. I'm okay. I'm okay now.
- [15:07]
A
Oh, my God. Don't cry.
- [15:09]
B
I know.
- [15:10]
A
So in pageantry, you know, as an Asian American, I feel like we still don't have Asian representation.
- [15:15]
B
Right.
- [15:16]
A
As much as we should. How do you feel about it as an Asian woman competing?
- [15:20]
B
Definitely. I mean, I'm. I want to encourage all Asian Americans out there to join pageantry. I feel like if we can have more role models in any aspect of life, it would encourage, you know, that little girl in me that, you know, maybe she would have believed in herself a little bit more if she would have seen that representation that she. She wanted to.
- [15:42]
A
But you are that representation.
- [15:43]
B
But now I am. Yes. Yes. And so it's really. It's like, full circle.
- [15:47]
A
I'm like, I hope lucky that we have our reigning Miss Earth Miss.
- [15:51]
B
Oh, of course. Yes.
- [15:52]
A
Filipino. But she's half. And I think that was really good to see someone so good.
- [15:57]
B
And that's kind of what inspired me to join. I'm like, oh, my goodness. Like, hello. Right?
- [16:00]
A
It's like, okay, now I have a chance.
- [16:02]
B
Yeah. She's she's wonderful. And I love her Halo.
- [16:07]
A
Halo palette. I know, it's so fun.
- [16:08]
B
It's so cute.
- [16:09]
A
I love her. She's everything. Okay, back to our talking points because we got so sidetracked, but that's okay. Fashion and modeling, that's so fun. I love modeling. I love fashion. So tell me about everything. Let's start with Musa Fabrics.
- [16:22]
B
Okay. Yes, Musa. So Musa Fabrics. I am an ambassador for Musa and they are a sustainable fashion where. So they. What they do is they create clothing, like really, really nice high end fashion pieces that they design from the leaves of banana fibers, banana trees, the leaves from the Philippines. And so it's. It's really sustainable and they're really beautiful. They're cultural pieces from the Philippines. They have like the Filipino. And we raise money, you know, and we donate them to charities and all. That's good stuff. So I love that good stuff.
- [16:56]
A
Oh, my gosh. Banana leaves. That's crazy.
- [16:57]
B
Yes. Banana leaves. It's crazy. Like, you didn't. I didn't know that you could literally make clothes out of banana leaves. Like.
- [17:03]
A
Yeah, until.
- [17:03]
B
Until.
- [17:04]
A
And I feel like it probably has, like, good energy. Like, it's probably better than wearing plastic.
- [17:07]
B
Yeah. Yes. It feels really good too. Like, you could tell. It's like a really sturdy material and it's. It's amazing.
- [17:13]
A
I love it. That's awesome. Okay, now tell me all about modeling. How did you get started? So I started actually when I was a kid.
- [17:19]
B
When I was about 10, I got signed with some agencies back in Seattle. I did acting and modeling. And so throughout the years, I would go to, you know, auditions, get some gigs, you know, just photo shoots here, commercials here and there. And so it wasn't until 2023, that's when I first did, like, Runway fashion. So I went to LA Fashion Week and then walked with a few designers there. I went to New York Fashion Week last year. I missed it this year, so I walked for Benny, Bessie Bassana, actually.
- [17:52]
A
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
- [17:55]
B
And yeah, what else?
- [17:58]
A
I mean, that was a lot.
- [18:00]
B
That was a lot.
- [18:01]
A
Like, you've done it all. I almost want to ask you, like, what's next for you? Like, what else do you have left to do?
- [18:05]
B
There is. There's a few. You know, I've done a few. Like, there's been a lot of local fashion shows back in Washington that I've done flight and fashion, cars, couture, but I don't know if you've heard of that. Phil Am Fashion Week.
- [18:17]
A
Yes, I've Heard of that one because of you.
- [18:19]
B
Yeah, she. We actually walked together in that. So she came last year to Washington and we walked together, but it was fun.
- [18:26]
A
And what is your favorite thing about modeling?
- [18:29]
B
Probably finding designers that are sustainable and showcasing and wearing their outfits. So I've actually worked with a few sustainable designers out there that are. Yeah, their fashion is either they thrift it and then they go. They totally revamp into something else and then they recycle their fabrics and it's. It's really cool. It's really cool. And they make such beautiful pieces out of it. So it's kind of finding those, like.
- [18:53]
A
Niche designers the best pieces, right?
- [18:56]
B
Yes.
- [18:56]
A
Like, they look so cool.
- [18:57]
B
Yes, they look really nice.
- [18:58]
A
Cycling. Yes, exactly. Our last talking point today is mental health for caregivers. So tell me why this topic is so close to your heart, especially in high stress fields like healthcare.
- [19:09]
B
Definitely. So I feel like, you know, with nursing, you have to be in such a good mental health state and like, your well being has to really be strong to care for other people. Because if you're caring for other people and you're not caring for yourself, like, how can you, how can you care for other people?
- [19:23]
A
You're.
- [19:23]
B
You're filling someone else's cup when yours is empty. Right. And so especially in like hospital situations when there's. There was may be a traumatic situation, you know, someone tragically, you know, passes something like that, something really sad, you have to really be able to pull yourself together and really kind of work through those things. And mental health is super important because that can affect you. You know, just because you go home, you leave the hospital, you. Yeah, you can try to leave what happened at work, but sometimes it follows you home. And so you really have to have those coping mechanisms and really care for yourself first.
- [20:00]
A
What are some recommendations, like examples that you have?
- [20:02]
B
I love journaling. I know it's hard to journal and journal every day, and I know that sometimes it's unrealistic, but I do try journaling. I like meditation. The calm app.
- [20:12]
A
Yeah, I love the calm up.
- [20:13]
B
I love meditating. Yes. Or just being in nature. That's where like taking walks, taking hikes. I know not everyone has like mountains like Washington, but just getting outside and getting fresh air, that will really do you some good.
- [20:26]
A
Water.
- [20:27]
B
Going to a body of water.
- [20:28]
A
Yeah.
- [20:30]
B
Washington's full of lakes and rivers and streams, so there's one five minutes away from my house. I usually just go to that and just sit there. And if I'm having a really tough day, I'll just.
- [20:40]
A
I have to say, it really works. One time after New York Fashion Week, I was so dead. And I was like, I just need to recharge. So I actually booked a flight to Washington. No way. I went to Clem and I was like, I want to go the furthest away from New York and Miami as I possibly could. And it was Cleeland. So I got this little cabin. I just hiked, sat in the woods and did not.
- [20:57]
B
Were you alone?
