We're gonna crack open this place and margarita for this one.

This one always stiggles my throat.

So obviously online, I think a lot of relationships in general can just seem perfect and put together and happy and like there's no struggles.

So I wanted to just open up to you guys about how long distance has been going some of the struggles we've been having,

what we're going to do moving forward with this, and at the same time, I'm also going to be doing my makeup routine. Because I know a lot of you guys have been asking to see my full updated makeup routine, and I've been really bad about getting that to you guys. I'm trying to think if I've ever done long distance before. I don't necessarily think I've gone into a relationship that's been long distance, but I know like when I first started dating my first boyfriend, he went to college, that ended up being long distance. I think this is kind of like my first go at a real long distance relationship. I'm gonna try underpainting, which is basically when you start kind of like backwards on your face makeup but this makeup artist did it to me and

I don't think I have the right products for it so if I look a little crazy just a go let's start with

talking about our lifestyle so broxton obviously plays football and i do social media and i'm always

traveling around i'm never in one place but he is very like on schedule, on time type of

person. Obviously football also comes with a schedule where they're there from like 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Training every day and none of my days ever look the same for me ever. So I think when it comes to

day to day and like our communication, it's honestly harder than usual or maybe if we were on like the same type of schedule like nine to five together, it would maybe be a little bit easier.

But we both have such crazy hectic schedules and especially mind changing all the time that it's not always the easiest to like have a set routine when it comes to our communication.

And I'm not always the best of communication, which we'll get into in a later part of this. But I mean, as of right now, we're trying to see each other once a month, which is definitely very different for us, because we used to sleep and bed together every single night. That was kind of like our thing, was maybe we didn't see each other during the days or for work but like at the end of the

day at like 9 p.m. in miami i would always come over to his we would maybe make dinner together or just

at least go to bed together and now obviously we don't have that either so it's a really weird

adjustment especially because our relationship didn't start off in long distance and so even

though we're only gosh maybe two three months into this like wholly be in long distance. And so even though we're only, gosh, maybe two, three months into this, like, wholly being long distance with each other, I'm going to try and share with you guys the advice and learnings that have gotten from this and what we're trying to do to make it work, even though it may not be perfect. Because it's also definitely brought about some, like, different arguments and stuff that we've had, which we thankfully have not had a lot of problems in a relationship, but it's definitely

just been a different obstacle and we learned a lot over the past two months. So to give you guys some context of when I've seen Braxton over the past two months, the last time I saw him was around the 4th of July when we were in Europe together and then back in Miami for a quick second. So that was like four or five days we were together. And then before that, he came to Miami to see me during Miami Swim Week, which was also just kind of like hectic in me running around and friends were also with us and friends were also with us. The last time I was with him too. So it's definitely been, I guess, like, a lack

of like our one-on-one time, but we've been trying to make the best of it. I don't know. I think

you just kind of like put pressure on yourselves, you know, when you do finally get to see each other

and like, what is the perfect moment together? Like, what are we doing to like maximize our time

together? We've just found joy in the little moments and really being around each other. Like, I think we're just looking forward to, like, sitting on the couch together. Like, when we were in Miami this past month, we were so excited. We didn't want to, like, book a dinner, book a lunch, anything. We didn't want to leave the house. We were like, we just want to sit on the couch because I think that's like what we kind of missed the most.
