I speak Vietnamese and conversational Spanish.
Jeannie Mai
I learned that you can never ever have enough quality time with Mom.
I only wear underwear from Target.
If you don't know where to find self-love, you're going to spend the rest of your life trying to find it somewhere else.
I'm a Capricorn and I'm mad loyal - mad loyal! - and I will always look for the good in people.
Every woman should absolutely own at least one staple skinny jean that is a) a dark wash denim and b) at least 2 percent spandex to have that everyday comfortable wear.
I think when people let their inhibitions go, they're so fun and so free. I think we all have it within us, but the world, your job, responsibilities, stupid stuff you have to do as a grownup, Instagram, makes you feel like you always have to be cool, and I like any opportunity where you don't have to always be cool.
Selling the commodity of humans has to be the biggest business out there, as it is the most lucrative. I cannot go to sleep at night, unless I know that I am using all of my platforms to fight human trafficking.
There is nobody else, on the entire earth, like Mama Mai. Nobody who thinks like her, says what she says, or drags you into the trouble she does. It's the most exhilarating and fun time of anyone's life.
I learned watching Sesame Street how to speak English, and Bert and Ernie were my best friends. I believed in them and I learned from them, how to have a healthy and happy relationship.
Feeling good about your body and feeling sexy comes from within, not from a number on the scale.
I believe the green movement is gaining momentum because people are becoming more educated about the real importance of living green.
I have this bookmark with glued-on macaroni. I made it in the fourth grade while in detention for giving a girl a tattoo using two rocks rubbed together and a stick.
I always say, men's ankles are kind of like men's version of cleavage. That's what I think, because it's sexy. It shows, like, you dare to go there.
Technology's role in human trafficking cannot be ignored. But if we focus on how to prevent human trafficking, technology also has a powerful role. Like Ashton Kutcher's app Thorn, which directly spots human trafficking and connects you with officials.
I like watching movies at home and recreating my own theater.
I practice wearapy: it is a psychology between colour and texture. Take your emotions - what is it that you want to accomplish for the rest of the day? Pick that feeling and channel it into a colour.
In spring, you can have a little bit more fun with color and be out there.
I have a childlike spirit.
Tosh.0' - I consider it my ab workout from laughing so hard.
I was 103 pounds for 12 years, and what's crazy is that I actually wanted to weigh 100. Honestly, it was for no other reason than the fact that I thought it would be cool to say that I weighed 100 pounds.
As a kid, I hung out a lot at Golfland in Milpitas.
The No. 1 thing you have that costs nothing is your imagination: role play.
Loose, breathable fabrics are great... choose brands that have soft blazers such as loose linen or cotton - it doesn't have to be a structured blazer with shoulder pads.
I love Marie Osmond. Marie Osmond is really cool.
Vests are very flattering on every body type. The key is to make sure you get a vest that's soft in fabric.
My ultimate getaway is Vietnam. It has a little bit of everything when it comes to culture, amazing food, beautiful people, exotic sights, sounds and profound history of love, bravery and resilience.
Think about the blouse you want to wear for that big meeting with your boss, or the skirt you want to reserve for a client dinner. Once you've pinpointed the item that you'll feel good in, the other pieces will fall into place.
If there were only one place to eat, I would pick anywhere in Northern Vietnam where you get the French and Vietnamese culinary fusion.
Summer is always a great time to have fun with beauty and fashion and celebrate our changing looks.
I love how it feels to go into the gym, crank all my favorite music and literally sweat out all of the things that stress me out.
I think women are very attractive.
Holey Moley' is the funnest, craziest, most extreme miniature golf series you will ever experience. It was insane. If you've ever played miniature golf, this is unlike everything you've experienced.
I realized that I had an eating disorder in which I controlled myself to a point that I would not let myself enjoy what I wanted to eat or eat what I needed to eat, all to stay a certain size.
I used to hate being short.
The best investment would be a Monika Chiang handbag. Her stuff is so on point. Her pieces are really classic, sophisticated, expensive-looking and they're just chic.
I've had past boyfriends and a couple girlfriends.
I love the Duo strip-lash eyelash glue. For all my ladies who love a pair of falsies, if you're using the glue in a tube, you're so 2000.
Everywhere you go somebody is on a diet. Everywhere you go in L.A. there is a no-carb option.
My work in television is part of my ministry. My ministry is not religious at all - it's part of my life purpose of empowering women.
Just speaking for myself, when I'm complimented for being Vietnamese-American in television - the only one - that doesn't make me feel happy, that makes me feel really lonely, actually.
Nutmeg and cinnamon are my favorite fragrance enhancers.
However, I've learned in my life that life is about living authentically. And for me, the best moments as I look back in my life, that I became the best versions of Jeannie that I'm proud of, was when I was honest with myself.
The best part of a white pant is the bump of great booty this color can give.
Sometimes I carry a Green Marble SeLr setting spray. It's the one drag queens use. That is bomb.
Stop baby shaming people to make us feel like there's something wrong with us if we don't want children.
One thing he always said, and I love this quote and I really believe it, my ex said, 'You don't truly know a person until they don't get what they want. That's when they show you who they are.' You wouldn't think that the person you were married to and were with for 10 years and taught you the quote would be the best number one example to prove it.
It's horrible dating with Mama Mai! She is nosy. When I was a kid she would be the first one eavesdropping on my phone calls: 'Hello? Who you call for? Huh?'
So my mom really taught me to be fearless and I love her! She's just so much fun! She is completely the reason why I am a personality and a success to myself today.
Like, in Asian culture, you have to be down with the family. You have to be down with all the crazy traditional or non-traditional things we do.
