00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.130
I'm Shayla, I'm an NFL cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins
2
00:00:03.130 --> 00:00:04.570
and this is how I work it.
3
00:00:04.570 --> 00:00:06.240
I'm gonna take you through 24 hours
4
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.210
of my beauty and wellness routine.
5
00:00:08.210 --> 00:00:10.960
Our practice schedule entails 10 to 12 hours a week.
6
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.850
We practice Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays
7
00:00:13.850 --> 00:00:17.290
from 6:30 to 10:00 and on some Saturdays.
8
00:00:17.290 --> 00:00:20.100
On a game day, we usually arrive at 8:30 a.m.
9
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:22.470
and we'll be leaving around 5:00 p.m.
10
00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:25.270
Along with being a cheerleader, I'm a full-time student.
11
00:00:25.270 --> 00:00:27.070 line:15%
The biggest challenge of being a cheerleader
12
00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:29.300 line:15%
would be just keeping my energy up throughout the day
13
00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:31.710 line:15%
but the best part about it is just being surrounded
14
00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:33.655
by my teammates who are such empowering, talented,
15
00:00:33.655 --> 00:00:36.830
intelligent women, it just lifts me up
16
00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:38.500 line:15%
and makes me wanna be a better me.
17
00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:42.690 line:15%
Good morning, everybody, it's currently 6:30 a.m.,
18
00:00:42.690 --> 00:00:45.210
I usually don't hit snooze or anything, I just get up.
19
00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:47.060
So let's start our day.
20
00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:49.230
I'm pretty good at just waking up from the alarm
21
00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:50.063
when it's going.
22
00:00:50.063 --> 00:00:52.420
Some of the affirmations I tell myself before game day
23
00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:55.020
or even before regular days is I'm able,
24
00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:56.520
I'm willing, and I'm confident.
25
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.190
People don't really realize how much energy it takes
26
00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:02.167
to go out and show our best selves and give our everything
27
00:01:02.167 --> 00:01:04.428
so it's really helpful to have that affirmation
28
00:01:04.428 --> 00:01:05.800
in the back of your head.
29
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:08.250
So after I like wash my face, brush my teeth,
30
00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:09.810
I usually go back into my room and start
31
00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:12.000 line:15%
getting ready, put on my skincare.
32
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.460 line:15%
So this is me in my bonnet in the morning
33
00:01:14.460 --> 00:01:16.120 line:15%
after I wake up.
34
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.180
Since my mom was a Mary Kay consultant,
35
00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:20.820
I get products from her, and I've been using them
36
00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:22.230
for years and years and years.
37
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:24.840
We start with moisturizer, rub it in.
38
00:01:26.050 --> 00:01:28.640
And then I do the daytime cream, which has
39
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.770
like SPF 30 in it, and I also put on
40
00:01:30.770 --> 00:01:33.843
another sunscreen on top of that, because Miami.
41
00:01:33.843 --> 00:01:34.676
[laughs]
42
00:01:34.676 --> 00:01:35.820
I used to think I didn't need sunscreen.
43
00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:38.327
I saw that this YouTuber named Jackie Aina
44
00:01:38.327 --> 00:01:41.388
was like you need sunscreen, and I was like oh, do I?
45
00:01:41.388 --> 00:01:44.300
I am that auntie, as long there's light outside,
46
00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:45.300
you better be wearing the sunscreen.
47
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:46.830
That's when I started putting on sunscreen
48
00:01:46.830 --> 00:01:48.908
and I just felt more protected.
49
00:01:48.908 --> 00:01:51.040
And that's it!
50
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.404
Guess who got their groceries delivered!
51
00:01:53.404 --> 00:01:56.705
Grape tomatoes, kale, ice cream,
52
00:01:56.705 --> 00:02:00.230
vegan butter, Dave's Bread everything bagels.
53
00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:02.630
Since I've been plant-based for over a year now,
54
00:02:02.630 --> 00:02:05.650
my go-to breakfast is the Dave's Bread Everything Bagels.
55
00:02:05.650 --> 00:02:06.483
Cheers.
56
00:02:06.483 --> 00:02:08.780
Have a ton of protein, 12 grams of protein.
57
00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:11.600
Just to get my good amount of protein in for the morning.
58
00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:12.610
It's so good.
59
00:02:12.610 --> 00:02:15.110
I always say oh, thank God for waking me up this morning
60
00:02:15.110 --> 00:02:16.720 line:15%
and then I pray over my food.
61
00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:19.200 line:15%
Breakfast on the go, my Dave's Bread
62
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:21.460 line:15%
Everything Bagel, as always.
63
00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:23.912
I don't say out loud, I think it.
64
00:02:23.912 --> 00:02:25.940
That's kind of like my meditation time to relax
65
00:02:25.940 --> 00:02:28.320 line:15%
and just not rush for that one second.
66
00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:31.880 line:15%
So I leave my house around 7:30, I get to my school
67
00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:33.510 line:15%
around 7:40 something.
68
00:02:33.510 --> 00:02:36.168 line:15%
I'm here, I made it, I'm good.
69
00:02:36.168 --> 00:02:39.710 line:15%
I'm about to leave for my stats class, wish me luck.
70
00:02:39.710 --> 00:02:41.960
I got my major in dance, and I decided
71
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.460
to get another degree, so I'm on my journey
72
00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:47.680
to get my BSN, which is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
73
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.960 line:15%
After statistics, I have anatomy.
74
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.500 line:15%
As a dance major, I had to take anatomy class.
75
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.980 line:15%
I loved anatomy, like I love the body,
76
00:02:54.980 --> 00:02:56.690
I wanted to learn every single thing,
77
00:02:56.690 --> 00:02:58.300
that's why I decided to become a nurse
78
00:02:58.300 --> 00:03:00.910
and I also wanted to have a career where I could
79
00:03:00.910 --> 00:03:02.230 line:15%
help other people as well.
80
00:03:02.230 --> 00:03:05.080 line:15%
Just leaving my anatomy slash lab class,
81
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.100 line:15%
we just had our first dissection day.
82
00:03:07.100 --> 00:03:09.960 line:15%
I was a little nervous but I did not die,
83
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.380
so we're doing great.
84
00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:14.150
The night before a game or a practice day,
85
00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:16.563
I usually wash my hair and condition it in the shower
86
00:03:16.563 --> 00:03:19.850
and then once I get out, I use my microfiber towel.
87
00:03:19.850 --> 00:03:22.850
It just soaks up all the water beautifully.
88
00:03:22.850 --> 00:03:25.640
I usually separate it into four sections.
89
00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:26.787
Like so.
90
00:03:26.787 --> 00:03:29.100
And I start with the back section.
91
00:03:29.100 --> 00:03:31.330
And I separate it in half.
92
00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:33.960
My hair is really hard to soak in water.
93
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.530
I use my handy-dandy water bottle
94
00:03:36.530 --> 00:03:39.390
to complete drench the section,
95
00:03:39.390 --> 00:03:42.399
and obviously that's what the towel is for,
96
00:03:42.399 --> 00:03:45.080
to catch all the drippage.
97
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.800
And then put the conditioner through my hair.
98
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.800
And the goal is to completely detangle each section.
99
00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:54.450
They call it a custard.
100
00:03:54.450 --> 00:03:56.090
High-defining custard.
101
00:03:56.090 --> 00:03:58.840
My favorite product ever.
102
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.350
Rake it into your hair.
103
00:04:00.350 --> 00:04:02.360
And that's how it gets the curls to stay.
104
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.480
I need like a diffuser attachment
105
00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:06.685
so that my hair won't be like frizzy
106
00:04:06.685 --> 00:04:08.440
and mess with the curls too much.
107
00:04:08.440 --> 00:04:11.140
And this is the final product.
108
00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:12.730
The hair flips are definitely a part of like
109
00:04:12.730 --> 00:04:15.381
all the routines so I just flip my head
110
00:04:15.381 --> 00:04:18.020
and just act like I have hair.
111
00:04:18.020 --> 00:04:19.700
I don't have it cut, I just have it pinned.
112
00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:22.262
So I usually lift it up and just put two pins
113
00:04:22.262 --> 00:04:24.660
in order for it to look like a frohawk,
114
00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:26.890
'cause I like that look and it doesn't get in my face.
115
00:04:26.890 --> 00:04:28.780
Representation matters.
116
00:04:28.780 --> 00:04:32.483
I absolutely love rocking my natural hair
117
00:04:32.483 --> 00:04:36.140
on the team because I can only imagine and hope
118
00:04:36.140 --> 00:04:38.126
that when little girls who may feel insecure
119
00:04:38.126 --> 00:04:41.310
about their pretty brown skin or their natural coils
120
00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:44.200
that grow from out of their head see me on the field,
121
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:46.526
they feel empowered as well and they feel inspired
122
00:04:46.526 --> 00:04:48.825
and as if they can do anything.
123
00:04:48.825 --> 00:04:52.220
You have so much power as a cheerleader to influence
124
00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:54.560
the youth and influence the community.
125
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.520
We get to fill people with joy and just give them
126
00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:59.900
a whole bunch of positive love and feedback
127
00:04:59.900 --> 00:05:02.300
and cuddles and just make sure that they know they're loved
128
00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:03.400
and they're appreciated.
129
00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:05.770
I volunteer at Feeding South Florida.
130
00:05:05.770 --> 00:05:08.490
I'm so excited, I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
131
00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:11.305
We work together to save and repackage
132
00:05:11.305 --> 00:05:13.970
enough food for 11,000 meals.
133
00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:16.370
It just makes you feel so grateful and so blessed.
134
00:05:16.370 --> 00:05:18.650
One of my favorite volunteer opportunities,
135
00:05:18.650 --> 00:05:20.640
we got to paint a veteran's house,
136
00:05:20.640 --> 00:05:23.443
and it was just, I don't know, it was just so emotional
137
00:05:23.443 --> 00:05:25.599
and I felt like we were empowering someone
138
00:05:25.599 --> 00:05:27.860
who did so much for our country.
139
00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:29.460
It just touched my heart and I got to do it
140
00:05:29.460 --> 00:05:31.750
with my teammates who are also my sisters
141
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:35.090
so it's definitely one that's gonna stay with me forever.
142
00:05:35.090 --> 00:05:36.062
I always cry.
143
00:05:36.062 --> 00:05:37.870 line:15%
[laughs]
144
00:05:37.870 --> 00:05:40.430 line:15%
Okay, just made it back to my car.
145
00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:43.760 line:15%
I'm exhausted because I only had five hours of sleep
146
00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:47.690
because after practice I had to finish my PowerPoint.
147
00:05:47.690 --> 00:05:49.200
Can't wait to take a nap.
148
00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:52.680
So after my first two classes, I have like a two-hour break.
149
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.027
That's usually when I go and walk to my car,
150
00:05:55.027 --> 00:05:58.440
eat my snack or lunch, whatever you would like to call it.
151
00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:00.710
My water bottle, mini rice cakes,
152
00:06:00.710 --> 00:06:02.390
and I'm gonna eat with the cookie butter,
153
00:06:02.390 --> 00:06:06.570
PB and J sandwich, peaches, and a Clif Bar.
154
00:06:06.570 --> 00:06:08.770
And either like watch YouTube videos
155
00:06:08.770 --> 00:06:10.250
or if I need to study for an exam,
156
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:11.660
that's when I take the time to study.
157
00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:15.690
I have a test in theology which is right after my break.
158
00:06:15.690 --> 00:06:16.810
Wish me luck.
159
00:06:16.810 --> 00:06:19.305
Since I'm an introvert, I need that time by myself
160
00:06:19.305 --> 00:06:21.140
to just kinda refuel.
161
00:06:21.140 --> 00:06:23.550
It's weird because my job is to be a cheerleader
162
00:06:23.550 --> 00:06:25.680
but I'm also an introvert so it feels like
163
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.390
it's things that don't belong together
164
00:06:27.390 --> 00:06:29.710
but it connects me to both of my sides.
165
00:06:29.710 --> 00:06:33.700
I set my alarm for 12:20 and I do my makeup.
166
00:06:33.700 --> 00:06:37.450 line:15%
It's makeup time in the car before class.
167
00:06:37.450 --> 00:06:40.010
My makeup usually takes 25 to 30 minutes.
168
00:06:40.010 --> 00:06:42.390
For game days, I'll have the privilege of just
169
00:06:42.390 --> 00:06:43.870
doing it in my bathroom and my house,
170
00:06:43.870 --> 00:06:45.530
but I have to do what I have to do
171
00:06:45.530 --> 00:06:47.760
because after my last class I only have
172
00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:50.690
like an hour and a half before I have to leave for practice
173
00:06:50.690 --> 00:06:52.410
so I have to do my makeup at that time,
174
00:06:52.410 --> 00:06:54.070
since it's really a dress rehearsal that you
175
00:06:54.070 --> 00:06:55.840
have to push, push, push.
176
00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:58.260
So we have to know how to sweat with makeup on
177
00:06:58.260 --> 00:07:00.370
without having it run down our faces.
178
00:07:00.370 --> 00:07:03.240
First thing I do is put on my primer,
179
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.350
just so that the foundation can stick more to it
180
00:07:05.350 --> 00:07:08.230
and looks more seamless, allows it to last longer.
181
00:07:08.230 --> 00:07:10.470
This is Fenty Beauty.
182
00:07:10.470 --> 00:07:13.220
And then I would prime my eyes and my lips.
183
00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:14.053
How do I do this?
184
00:07:14.053 --> 00:07:15.053
Oh no, oh no.
185
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.747
I cannot find my lip primer.
186
00:07:17.747 --> 00:07:19.664
[laughs]
187
00:07:19.664 --> 00:07:20.970
I don't know where it is.
188
00:07:20.970 --> 00:07:22.073
For 'ze lips.
189
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.830
Get those lips nice and smooth.
190
00:07:24.830 --> 00:07:26.650
And then I would start on my eyes.
191
00:07:26.650 --> 00:07:30.010
Start with the base color to kind of blend it all in.
192
00:07:30.010 --> 00:07:32.585
I used a beige, it's a similar color to my skin
193
00:07:32.585 --> 00:07:34.802
and then I use a darker brown in the crease
194
00:07:34.802 --> 00:07:37.870
to kinda create depth into the eye.
195
00:07:37.870 --> 00:07:40.366
And then I flare it up at the sides.
196
00:07:40.366 --> 00:07:43.250
There's another nursing student!
197
00:07:43.250 --> 00:07:46.360
They just look so cool, so smart.
198
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.290
I wanna look cool and smart in my nursing outfit.
199
00:07:50.290 --> 00:07:52.610
I would just say for game day or practice
200
00:07:52.610 --> 00:07:54.500
just to make your eyes stand out
201
00:07:54.500 --> 00:07:56.850
so that it's not fading in or the light
202
00:07:56.850 --> 00:07:58.820
like makes it pale or anything.
203
00:07:58.820 --> 00:08:01.700
This is almost four weeks into my eyelash extensions
204
00:08:01.700 --> 00:08:04.590
but still cute though!
205
00:08:04.590 --> 00:08:07.490
There' basically two different uniforms.
206
00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:08.720
It's kind of like two and a half.
207
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.020
You're able to mix and match the different uniforms
208
00:08:11.020 --> 00:08:12.850
to make a whole completely different new one.
209
00:08:12.850 --> 00:08:16.150
The uniforms are more for dancing and for athleticism
210
00:08:16.150 --> 00:08:19.070
because they're able to breathe and able to stretch
211
00:08:19.070 --> 00:08:19.920
as you're dancing.
212
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.930
The practice uniforms, I love them.
213
00:08:21.930 --> 00:08:23.540
It just makes us look more uniform
214
00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:25.140
when we're all wearing the same thing
215
00:08:25.140 --> 00:08:26.760
and looking professional.
216
00:08:26.760 --> 00:08:30.000
With our boots, because we'll be dancing on our feet
217
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.320
for a really long time, we like to wear fuzzy, big socks.
218
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.020
My fuzzy socks, still on 'cause they're so comfy.
219
00:08:38.020 --> 00:08:40.036
Soaks up the shock when we're dancing
220
00:08:40.036 --> 00:08:42.670
and makes our feet feel more compressed.
221
00:08:42.670 --> 00:08:44.690
People don't realize the poms are heavy,
222
00:08:44.690 --> 00:08:47.520
especially throughout a nine-hour game day,
223
00:08:47.520 --> 00:08:50.440
so the wrist action, it gets really sore after.
224
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.660
So usually to practice, and game day,
225
00:08:52.660 --> 00:08:55.880
I will put my poms inside some old tights.
226
00:08:55.880 --> 00:08:57.401
This may look a little weird,
227
00:08:57.401 --> 00:09:00.490
but this is just how I compress my poms,
228
00:09:00.490 --> 00:09:02.310
and they take up less space in my bag.
229
00:09:02.310 --> 00:09:04.200
My old captain taught me that.
230
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.820
Cute, small, tight, not a problem.
231
00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:08.723
A lot of people believe that cheerleaders
232
00:09:08.723 --> 00:09:10.820
are not intelligent.
233
00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:13.230
I think that we definitely break those stereotypes
234
00:09:13.230 --> 00:09:16.280
because our team is filled with so many intelligent people.
235
00:09:16.280 --> 00:09:18.660
Being a cheerleader teaches you how to be a part
236
00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:20.780
of a team and work with other people.
237
00:09:20.780 --> 00:09:23.770
We're sisters and we're all in the same situation together.
238
00:09:23.770 --> 00:09:25.260
We help each other through it all,
239
00:09:25.260 --> 00:09:27.170
so it's definitely a team sport.
240
00:09:27.170 --> 00:09:29.370
I was a Dolphins fan probably my whole life
241
00:09:29.370 --> 00:09:31.742
because my family has been Dolphin fans forever,
242
00:09:31.742 --> 00:09:33.182
no matter what.
243
00:09:33.182 --> 00:09:37.001
Look at what my mom wore to the game today!
244
00:09:37.001 --> 00:09:39.577
That's me, that's me.
245
00:09:39.577 --> 00:09:40.840
Her biggest fan!
246
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.240
Being able to cheer in my hometown,
247
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:43.540
it makes me feel proud.
248
00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:47.030
I'm just adding some little of this orange-ish,
249
00:09:47.030 --> 00:09:48.910
just add a little spunk.
250
00:09:48.910 --> 00:09:52.290
I just put it toward the edge and then kind of
251
00:09:52.290 --> 00:09:53.870
bring it into the crease.
252
00:09:53.870 --> 00:09:56.420
I'm gonna be honest, I cannot see in my phone
253
00:09:56.420 --> 00:09:58.410
so let me just take a second.
254
00:09:58.410 --> 00:10:00.241
Oh, it doesn't look too bad.
255
00:10:00.241 --> 00:10:01.347
Pretty good.
256
00:10:01.347 --> 00:10:03.530
And then I'm done with my eyes.
257
00:10:03.530 --> 00:10:07.090
We're gonna move on to under eye concealer.
258
00:10:07.090 --> 00:10:10.283
Oh my gosh, did I put on foundation?
259
00:10:11.775 --> 00:10:12.921
No.
260
00:10:12.921 --> 00:10:14.380
[laughs]
261
00:10:14.380 --> 00:10:16.201
So I got too much into the conversation
262
00:10:16.201 --> 00:10:18.160
but I usually do my foundation first
263
00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:19.680
and then I'll do my eyeshadow,
264
00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:21.900
so I'll just do my foundation now.
265
00:10:21.900 --> 00:10:24.220
[fast forwarding sound]
266
00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:26.290
Then we're gonna put on our foundation.
267
00:10:26.290 --> 00:10:27.960
I start off with the Fenty Foundation
268
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.990
on top of my Fenty Primer.
269
00:10:29.990 --> 00:10:31.342
Live it up, live it up.
270
00:10:31.342 --> 00:10:33.340
Living this life.
271
00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:36.220
For practice, I usually use the Fenty Foundation
272
00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:38.670
but for game days I'll use the MAC Foundation
273
00:10:38.670 --> 00:10:42.370
because it seems to last throughout the entire game day
274
00:10:42.370 --> 00:10:45.460
and it doesn't like run or change throughout the game.
275
00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:48.090
This foundation dries up really fast.
276
00:10:48.090 --> 00:10:50.803
So I gotta do section by section.
277
00:10:50.803 --> 00:10:54.340
Oh no, I dropped something.
278
00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:55.173
What did I drop?
279
00:10:56.810 --> 00:10:58.003
Oh, I'm making it worse.
280
00:10:58.003 --> 00:11:00.630
Oh no, oh no, it's gonna dry!
281
00:11:00.630 --> 00:11:02.659
You see what I mean?
282
00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:04.930
Let's try this again.
283
00:11:04.930 --> 00:11:07.230
I'm gonna be honest, I don't know where it is now.
284
00:11:07.230 --> 00:11:08.860
I'm just gonna give up for now 'cause I'm tired.
285
00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:10.460
As a cheerleader in Miami,
286
00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:12.850
you really have to stay hydrated.
287
00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:14.841
Once game day's coming up, I usually drink
288
00:11:14.841 --> 00:11:17.170
way more water than I would throughout the day,
289
00:11:17.170 --> 00:11:20.020
and we have this hack where we drink Pedialyte
290
00:11:20.020 --> 00:11:22.440
throughout the week of game day so that we can get
291
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.730
all our electrolytes in, we're really hot.
292
00:11:25.730 --> 00:11:27.860
But we all get water breaks one by one.
293
00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:29.630
I don't know if anybody ever notices,
294
00:11:29.630 --> 00:11:31.990
but we go one by one and then someone takes our place
295
00:11:31.990 --> 00:11:34.930
and we get water and we can dab off with a towel then.
296
00:11:34.930 --> 00:11:37.662
I use men's deodorant, I feel like it works better.
297
00:11:37.662 --> 00:11:38.760
[laughs]
298
00:11:38.760 --> 00:11:40.940
Like I don't sweat underneath my armpits
299
00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:43.300
with the men's deodorant so I think that's definitely
300
00:11:43.300 --> 00:11:44.133
the way to go.
301
00:11:44.133 --> 00:11:46.340
I'm nervous before every single game.
302
00:11:46.340 --> 00:11:48.280
I'm most nervous when we're in the tunnel
303
00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:50.870
waiting to go out for pregame, which is the first
304
00:11:50.870 --> 00:11:51.990
performance that we do.
305
00:11:51.990 --> 00:11:54.740
I start off the line onto the field and I just have
306
00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:57.510
to like breathe, take a second, and just tell myself
307
00:11:57.510 --> 00:11:58.622
I got this.
308
00:11:58.622 --> 00:12:00.210
[fast forward sound]
309
00:12:00.210 --> 00:12:03.750
We're gonna move on to under eye concealer.
310
00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:05.550
Boop-ba-doo.
311
00:12:05.550 --> 00:12:08.810
And then I put some powder over the concealer.
312
00:12:08.810 --> 00:12:09.643
Dab it up.
313
00:12:09.643 --> 00:12:12.550
I do put powder on over my concealer
314
00:12:12.550 --> 00:12:16.120
and my makeup just to set it in place.
315
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.570
So that when I sweat it doesn't mess up or anything.
316
00:12:18.570 --> 00:12:20.899
You have to wash your uniforms within 24 hours.
317
00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:23.880
That's like a rule, major rule.
318
00:12:23.880 --> 00:12:26.410
Because after the game, it's drenched in sweat
319
00:12:26.410 --> 00:12:28.780
and it possibly has makeup on it, most likely.
320
00:12:28.780 --> 00:12:30.561
You just have to do it in a specific way.
321
00:12:30.561 --> 00:12:32.510
I put it inside out.
322
00:12:32.510 --> 00:12:35.310
And I'm going to put it in that pillowcase,
323
00:12:35.310 --> 00:12:37.630
and then tie it and then you have to do it on delicate.
324
00:12:37.630 --> 00:12:39.880
And then I hang it to dry.
325
00:12:39.880 --> 00:12:41.410
But they have to be washed.
326
00:12:41.410 --> 00:12:43.580
Okay, we're gonna do a little
327
00:12:44.730 --> 00:12:48.000
amateur contouring with Shayla.
328
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.080
So I just put the contour to kind of make
329
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.880
my cheekbones stand out.
330
00:12:51.880 --> 00:12:55.440
Some games, the crowd is loud and other games,
331
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.240
the crowd is like not interested at all,
332
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.130
like if we're losing, sometimes the crowd
333
00:12:59.130 --> 00:13:02.110
isn't as energetic, but I think that's especially
334
00:13:02.110 --> 00:13:05.010
when we have to be the energy, and like bring the crowd up
335
00:13:05.010 --> 00:13:06.800
and give them the energy that they need
336
00:13:06.800 --> 00:13:08.460
'cause we're the cheerleaders,
337
00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:10.100
so we have to be there for them.
338
00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:11.610
It's always fun for me.
339
00:13:11.610 --> 00:13:13.790
Then I don't know, blush.
340
00:13:13.790 --> 00:13:15.370
Give 'em a smile.
341
00:13:15.370 --> 00:13:17.710
So for game days, I put extra blush.
342
00:13:17.710 --> 00:13:19.947
I know that it disappears pretty fast on me.
343
00:13:19.947 --> 00:13:21.780
And then the highlighter.
344
00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:24.297
I just love that it brings out your inner glow
345
00:13:24.297 --> 00:13:26.850
and you can turn and you can see the glow.
346
00:13:26.850 --> 00:13:28.862
It's like my favorite thing.
347
00:13:28.862 --> 00:13:30.921
I love a glowing queen.
348
00:13:30.921 --> 00:13:33.190
[laughs]
349
00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:35.510
I know people are like this girl's crazy in her car
350
00:13:35.510 --> 00:13:36.663
by herself talking.
351
00:13:38.420 --> 00:13:41.960
I use a brown lip liner and then the red in the middle.
352
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.860
It makes like an ombre effect.
353
00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:47.210
And then for class, I don't do the like va-va-voom
354
00:13:47.210 --> 00:13:50.470
red lipstick, I just do some lip gloss,
355
00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:54.521
keep it nice and glossy, and then after classes,
356
00:13:54.521 --> 00:13:57.530
that's when I'll put on the lipstick for practice.
357
00:13:57.530 --> 00:13:59.690
I like the lotion that's not sticky
358
00:13:59.690 --> 00:14:01.610
and doesn't make you sweat, so I like the ones
359
00:14:01.610 --> 00:14:03.610
that are kinda like Shea butter and cocoa butter
360
00:14:03.610 --> 00:14:05.930
and it makes your skin really nice and smooth.
361
00:14:05.930 --> 00:14:08.099
On game days I wear less but I still do,
362
00:14:08.099 --> 00:14:10.610
just to be moisturized.
363
00:14:10.610 --> 00:14:12.060
Because of the hot weather
364
00:14:12.060 --> 00:14:14.130
that's in Miami, you have to make sure
365
00:14:14.130 --> 00:14:14.963
you set your makeup.
366
00:14:14.963 --> 00:14:17.130
I do it a couple times throughout game day,
367
00:14:17.130 --> 00:14:18.530
just so I don't sweat it all off.
368
00:14:18.530 --> 00:14:21.290
The MAC Prep and Prime is the best ever.
369
00:14:21.290 --> 00:14:22.750
It's like whenever we're on the field
370
00:14:22.750 --> 00:14:25.100
and we get super hot, we just like put it more up
371
00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:29.020
and it fans us, it like fans our face for us.
372
00:14:29.020 --> 00:14:31.650
It's like a lot of motion.
373
00:14:31.650 --> 00:14:34.170
Halftime is a really short amount of time
374
00:14:34.170 --> 00:14:36.090
where you have to reapply your lipstick,
375
00:14:36.090 --> 00:14:38.020
make sure you dab off, and then you have to stretch
376
00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:39.982 line:15%
for kick line 'cause it's right after.
377
00:14:39.982 --> 00:14:41.232 line:15%
And we're done!
378
00:14:42.390 --> 00:14:44.230 line:15%
I'm early, so I'm gonna do a little studying
379
00:14:44.230 --> 00:14:45.620 line:15%
'cause I have a test later.
380
00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:47.420 line:15%
At 1:00, I leave my car.
381
00:14:47.420 --> 00:14:50.110 line:15%
It's time for theology class.
382
00:14:50.110 --> 00:14:52.180
So specifically for the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders,
383
00:14:52.180 --> 00:14:54.350
we have to have our nails kind of like
384
00:14:54.350 --> 00:14:57.050
a natural color, like a pinkish, nudish.
385
00:14:57.050 --> 00:14:59.043
For game days, like to have them glam and made up
386
00:14:59.043 --> 00:15:02.390
so when we're meeting people and we're talking,
387
00:15:02.390 --> 00:15:04.730 line:15%
we can look glamorous and put together.
388
00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:06.960 line:15%
After that I got to psychology class.
389
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.860 line:15%
Book in hand, we're ready, folks.
390
00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:11.350 line:15%
Then after that I usually go straight home,
391
00:15:11.350 --> 00:15:13.940 line:15%
so I can eat and wind down before practice.
392
00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:16.850
Traffic, traffic, lookin' for my Chapstick,
393
00:15:16.850 --> 00:15:20.060
feeling kinda carsick, there's a Ford Maverick.
394
00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:23.530
That's a Malibu's Most Wanted reference for you guys.
395
00:15:23.530 --> 00:15:25.321
I don't know if there's anything that I would avoid,
396
00:15:25.321 --> 00:15:28.410
but I specifically make sure that I eat my carbs
397
00:15:28.410 --> 00:15:30.499
so that I can get that energy intake in
398
00:15:30.499 --> 00:15:32.120 line:15%
and have energy stored up.
399
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.787 line:15%
This is the homemade pesto sauce that I'm making
400
00:15:35.787 --> 00:15:38.840 line:15%
for my pasta, and this is the final product.
401
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.320
Pesto pasta topped off with some grape tomatoes.
402
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.160
After I eat, I usually roll out with my tennis ball
403
00:15:45.160 --> 00:15:46.033
and my roller.
404
00:15:46.875 --> 00:15:49.290
Usually roll out my entire leg, but right now
405
00:15:49.290 --> 00:15:51.476
I'm just gonna roll out my IT band,
406
00:15:51.476 --> 00:15:53.359
because it's super tight.
407
00:15:53.359 --> 00:15:54.283
That's it.
408
00:15:56.430 --> 00:15:58.150 line:15%
I'm on my way to practice now.
409
00:15:58.150 --> 00:16:00.411 line:15%
This practice is super special because we're going
410
00:16:00.411 --> 00:16:03.200
to be with our junior cheerleaders.
411
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.850
We have performance with them this upcoming Sunday
412
00:16:05.850 --> 00:16:08.210
in our upcoming game and it's just always
413
00:16:08.210 --> 00:16:10.171
so much fun to work with the little girls
414
00:16:10.171 --> 00:16:13.929
who aspire to be cheerleaders, so let's get in it.
415
00:16:13.929 --> 00:16:15.730 line:15%
I made it!
416
00:16:15.730 --> 00:16:19.835 line:15%
I'm walking to the training camp now to see the kiddos.
417
00:16:19.835 --> 00:16:22.700 line:15%
We do workouts before practice as a team,
418
00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:25.940 line:15%
to stay fit, keep our muscles active, to stay strong.
419
00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:28.910 line:15%
So the dancing is the cardio and we also run.
420
00:16:28.910 --> 00:16:31.060
The audition process is a long one,
421
00:16:31.060 --> 00:16:33.660
so there's like multiple stages throughout,
422
00:16:33.660 --> 00:16:35.510
so it's definitely nerve wracking.
423
00:16:35.510 --> 00:16:37.370
I was really nervous for this audition.
424
00:16:37.370 --> 00:16:39.390
You have to re-audition every single year,
425
00:16:39.390 --> 00:16:41.270
you don't just get accepted back in.
426
00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:43.470
You just have to keep working hard to be better
427
00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:44.590
than you were last season.
428
00:16:44.590 --> 00:16:46.500
Another stereotype is that we're not
429
00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.000
actually trained dancers.
430
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.480
I love photo shoots, and especially the dance photo shoots
431
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.840
are my favorite 'cause we get to show
432
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.670
how much we're actually capable of doing.
433
00:16:53.670 --> 00:16:56.531
We got to go to the Norway and Denmark
434
00:16:56.531 --> 00:16:59.320
and different parts of Europe and have photo shoots
435
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.620
for our annual photo book, and it was super fun.
436
00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:05.400
I think the sisterhood is probably the most important
437
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:06.810
aspect of being on the team.
438
00:17:06.810 --> 00:17:09.210
Throughout practice, everybody's cheering for each other.
439
00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:11.540
We get to sit down and watch one half do it,
440
00:17:11.540 --> 00:17:13.330
and we're cheering them on and hyping them up.
441
00:17:13.330 --> 00:17:15.093
If you don't have sisters in real life,
442
00:17:15.093 --> 00:17:18.360
they're your fake sisters and they're always there for you.
443
00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:20.890
If you look at our Instagram posts you can see
444
00:17:20.890 --> 00:17:23.390
all of us hyping each other up in the comments.
445
00:17:23.390 --> 00:17:25.750
After practice I usually go straight home
446
00:17:25.750 --> 00:17:28.310
and get some food in my system that's really gonna
447
00:17:28.310 --> 00:17:30.990
like give me some energy because I probably have to
448
00:17:30.990 --> 00:17:32.700
stay up a little while and do some homework
449
00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:34.440 line:15%
before I go to sleep.
450
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.500 line:15%
I've breaded the tofu, I'll be frying them in one second.
451
00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:39.200 line:15%
And these are the sweet potatoes,
452
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.840
I just took it out of the oven.
453
00:17:40.840 --> 00:17:43.860
Now I'm going to pan fry it, yum.
454
00:17:43.860 --> 00:17:47.280
This is the final product, tofu chicken nuggets,
455
00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:48.690
sweet potato, white rice,
456
00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:51.400
and a kale salad with a raspberry vinaigrette.
457
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:54.650
But for game days, my favorite like post-game day meal
458
00:17:54.650 --> 00:17:56.064
is a pizza [laughs].
459
00:17:56.064 --> 00:18:01.064
I made it home and my post-game meal is complete.
460
00:18:01.088 --> 00:18:03.820
That's my favorite go to, so like everybody knows
461
00:18:03.820 --> 00:18:06.080
I need to have a pizza after game day.
462
00:18:06.080 --> 00:18:09.080
And this is my post-game dessert.
463
00:18:09.080 --> 00:18:10.900
Last game I did pizza and ice cream
464
00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:12.734
'cause I was like, an intense week.
465
00:18:12.734 --> 00:18:13.710 line:15%
[laughs]
466
00:18:13.710 --> 00:18:16.550 line:15%
So this is my nighttime skincare routine.
467
00:18:16.550 --> 00:18:20.270 line:15%
First, moisturizer, keep that skin nice and smooth.
468
00:18:20.270 --> 00:18:23.168
This night serum, and then I always put Vaseline
469
00:18:23.168 --> 00:18:26.571
on my lips, especially at night.
470
00:18:26.571 --> 00:18:28.160
And that's all.
471
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.192
After game day, it feels like you've done
472
00:18:30.192 --> 00:18:33.670
so much like practice before and everything
473
00:18:33.670 --> 00:18:36.469
is just like come to fruition, like you've done your part
474
00:18:36.469 --> 00:18:38.940
and you've done an amazing job.
475
00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:41.570
I'm not even controlling my body, like I just knock out.
476
00:18:41.570 --> 00:18:43.900
Like I'm that tired from doing so many things
477
00:18:43.900 --> 00:18:45.730
throughout the day that when I hit the bed,
478
00:18:45.730 --> 00:18:46.580 line:15%
I'm knocked out.
479
00:18:46.580 --> 00:18:49.573 line:15%
Sweet dreams, and good night.
480
00:18:52.840 --> 00:18:54.500
I was gonna say bring it on but I didn't wanna
481
00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:57.170
be like [laughs] stereotypical.
482
00:18:57.170 --> 00:18:58.773
I do love Bring It On though.
