I caught your ticket.

Welcome back to another episode of Courtside with Courtney.

I have my good friend Taylor sitting here today who just moved to Austin.

Literally just moved here.

You guys, it's funny because when I originally launched the podcast, I tagged you.

Do you remember that? I was like, this is a list of people I really want to have on the podcast. Taylor was on my list. But I was thinking I was going to have to fly to you because I didn't know that you were moving here at the time. Well, I think I responded to your story and was like booking flight immediately. And then like fast forward. It's like, oh, I'll just drive. Flight booked. We're so close to your house right now, which is also incredible.

But for the people that don't know who you are, give us a little bit of a rundown.

Obviously, you're an amazing stylist. You're huge on TikTok. You've been doing videos for like four years now. Yeah. Give us the rundown. How did you get from styling to wanting to even

post videos in the first place? I feel like I was posting videos like before TikTok. I feel like TikTok blew up during like the lockdown because we were all so bored and didn't know what to do with our lives. But I was posting, I go back and watch them now and I'm like, oh my gosh, these are so grungy.

Like that's what we all do. I know. It was so bad, but you can start somewhere. Yeah, of course. So I was posting videos on Instagram, but then during the lockdown, I started posting on TikTok. And I basically was like, I'm going to post once for 30 days because I always posted for the client. So like, got it.

Information about how, like, how to take care of your hair,

like the basics of all basics, because I feel like that was like a huge category that people weren't touching on. And I was like, I love like that hair nerdy stuff. So I was like, oh,

I'll post once a day for 30 days and like see where it takes me. And literally day 11, I like woke up

and like my video blew up. You were only literally day 11, I, like, woke up and, like, my video

blew up. You were only posting once a day even. Yeah. Well, that sounds a lot, but I feel like everyone, whenever you hear about TikTok, they're like, post four to eight videos. Yeah. It's always an abundant amount of the videos. Yeah. Well, and I think that's true, but I was just like, I had a lot of other stuff that I was doing too.

So I was like once a day is like, I don't want to bite off more than I can chew type.

Yeah.

And so day 11 like the video blew up and then I was like okay I'll just keep this going and then it just grew from there which is kind of crazy. I love the number 11 by the way. I feel like it's such a good lucky number. Yeah. I haven't thought of it like 11. 11 like make a wish. It's such a good number. But what was the video, like what were the tips in the video? Full disclosure. I was like two glasses of wine deep and it was like nine o'clock at night and I was like, oops, I haven't posted my video of the day. And so it was terrible. Like it was like how to sleep or how I sleep with my hair at night because everybody's like, how do you

wear your hair at night? It's a big thing too. For sure. Even for your skin. Right. Like longevity of making sure your style stays, but also you don't want your hair in your face and then it breaks you out. Right. Right. So I like wore this head. Like I looked like a milk lady. Like on the internet. I'm like, okay, like I can finally like show my true self, whatever. Like don't care about what people think about me. And I like wore this headband that was like down to here. It was so bad. And people went nuts over it. Sometimes actually, I would say 99% of the time, it's the least planned things. Totally. It's the video that you didn't think out that you didn't plan. You just set up the camera and you're like talking and all of a sudden it pops off.

And you're like, wait. the least planned things. Totally. It's the video that you didn't think out that you didn't plan.
