I'm a believer in caring for your skin inside and out! A good way to do this is through vitamins.

My basics for a daytime look are simple: powder, gloss, brows and lashes.
I think people are just going to be people, and racism is a thing. If people have an inclination to be racist then they are going to be, and there is not a whole lot that you can do about it.
When you're an on-air broadcaster you have a personality to maintain. It's your job.
I pretty much train every day.
Personally, I'm a fan of valets and managers.
Wrestling has always been on that edge of a cliff in many areas as far as what is politically correct and not.
What I did sign was a tentative contract with Impact Wrestling when they were still Impact. That contract had a clause for me, because I was already working on some stuff in other areas of television. That clause basically said that if something else in television were to happen for me, they can't be uncooperative.
What All Elite Wrestling does is it just creates more opportunities for women.
You never want to hear that somebody didn't get to come to your show because they felt unwelcome or they felt like they wouldn't fit in - any of those things, it's a terrible precedent to set.
AEW is all about the bell to bell action. You're going to get more wrestling and less soapy backstage drama.
With Riho, she doesn't speak English. Is that something that's going to keep us from having her on our roster? No! She's incredible. She's got incredible heart, and very, very talented in that ring in many different ways.
I love Anthropologie when it comes to accessories. They just have it all!
I've always been a straight shooter and an open book. It's how I've chosen to live my life.
Everything that I've done in wrestling and hopefully going forward in entertainment has always been unique and genuine to who I am.
There have been for myself at times in wrestling, times when I had to say, 'Hey, wait a minute, I'm not really comfortable with that' or, 'That doesn't work for me.'
Working on 'WAGS' is obviously very different than working on wrestling television. It's very different in the way that there is not nearly as much to do for 'WAGS.'
There's no rules that say you can't have a friend at ringside. The rules say the friend can't interfere.
Pairing a sequin mini skirt with a velvet long sleeved bodysuit can never go wrong!
In the case of Sadie Gibbs, fans were going, 'Have you seen Sadie Gibbs?' I'm like, 'Who the hell is Sadie Gibbs?' I looked into her work, and went, 'Wow, this is why these people are so into her.' She's very talented.
I'm a huge fan of MAC's sheer pressed powder because it feels virtually weightless. I can actually wear it to the gym and not clog my pores.
It's kind of frustrating when you're watching something and you know what's real and then people are telling you no. Fans are very into the idea of good old-fashioned marriage. They don't like pretending when you're married that you're not.
I go to all the haunted houses that I can get my hands on, and I grew up in Michigan, where there are a lot of back-woodsy haunted attractions.
So making the choice to be involved in the pro wrestling industry is always looked at as a short-lived choice, and there are very few and far in between opportunities to continue a career in wrestling if your time is up as a wrestler, as a female.
I honestly was supposed to always be a wrestler. I was never hired into any business as an announcer. That was just something I ended up falling into.
Being on the road every week is not new to me.
I think in wrestling generally there is this good old boys' system. Where you always have a lot of men at the top and a lot of men making all the decisions.
I'm a big fan of working for things. If everything was handed to me, I wouldn't appreciate it.
Many times, I would be on live television and have no idea what the next match is, and I'd have no clue who was coming out next. The last person to know is always the announcer, and it's always your fault if you make a mistake - even if you didn't know. I was always on top of everything and never said the wrong name or the wrong town.
There are different styles of women's wrestling just like men's wrestling.
Often times, while filming 'WAGS Atlanta' with 3 male producers, we were told to dress 'WAGGY' for scenes, not realizing that WAG style isn't universal! WAG style can encompass a myriad of different looks.
The 'AEW' women's championship will be the cornerstone of the women's division. The championship will be treated with the utmost respect and prestige. We hope to inspire future female wrestlers to dream of holding such a meaningful title.
I can identify with Riho because I was the talent that didn't speak the language in Japan. I'm very excited for the fans to kind of build a relationship with her because it's going to take work from both sides to understand one another.
All Elite really just wanted to provide an alternative for people who were looking for anything different, and what we offer is some of the best talent in the entire world - male and female.
My first match was on television with no buffer, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel like I've learned faster than a lot of other people for that reason.
A lot of people think that if something doesn't happen right away with women or with a particular minority, they are overlooked and they're not important and that is so much not the case.
I know that some of the ideas that I have are not always going to be seen as a good idea by everybody but, that's just life. We learn at some point that you don't always get your way.
I don't think I've said more than hi to Kenny King ever. And I think that's in part because 'The Bachelor' is a much different type of show than something like 'WAGS.'
One of my favorite characters to watch growing up was Sensational Sherri.
I'm true to myself, but I always have a soft spot for my husband no matter how nefarious I am.
Being a part of the Women of Honor championship tournament is historical.
People know I take good bikini pictures, but I also want them to get to know who I am.
When Cody won the Ring of Honor title, I rushed out of my seats, tripped on the steps, and bruised my leg in front of a couple fans. I just didn't want to miss a moment with him. That is how much I care about my husband, I care so much I get clumsy.
I spent a lot of time wrestling at NXT. That was not seen because I was also an announcer. When you're an announcer, they try to protect you and make sure you don't get hurt or injured, or anything that would hinder you from your TV work.
Impact has always had a focus on their Knockouts. Back when WWE was not so focused on their Divas, Impact was still focused on their Knockouts. They were actually the stronger women's division for a long time, and that was the place to watch a match more than a couple of minutes.
Cody and I had a connection pretty quickly. We were engaged pretty quickly, but my moment where I knew this was definitely the person for me was when Cody asked me on a date to Halloween Horror Night at Universal Studios. Nobody had ever asked me on a date to Halloween Horror Night, and I had never been even though I am a horror fanatic.
It is a lot to learn, and unique, but it is commonplace here in Atlanta where the man takes care of things and the woman becomes a homemaker, and later on in the relationship, a mother, which isn't the things that I ever considered. I think Cody thought that I would want that for my life since he grew up in that, but that is just not me.
It's an exciting thing to build a relationship with a talent that's outside of your comfort zone.
I am a different type of female. I am not your typical wife of a successful man.
As long as you keep in mind that what you're looking for is the best person, regardless of anything else, you're going to find the best of the best.
