Transcript

Get ready with me to move to Afghanistan with a man I met on Snapchat. So when I'm there, you can expect a lot of traveling vlogs and makeup vlogs and it's just gonna be like a mini vacation, I guess. Look at one of the tops I'm gonna bring. So cute. I'm gonna wear that on date night. I know a lot of you guys were worried in the comments saying if my husband was abusive, I would just leave then. Like obviously that's what I would do. But I know he's not abusive because I literally spent a week with him and that tells me all I need to know about a person. You guys are seeing this dangerous, but me and my friends literally went to Chicago and you know, there's black people there. And we didn't even get hurt. So what's the problem? I can handle dangerous cities. I can get there and I'm planning to do day trips and hang out with friends. So it's gonna be really fun for me. You can't show your face or talk in public. Okay, but I'm an influencer. I'm sure if like somebody has a problem, I can just show them that I'm vlogging. Like, obviously, I'm an influencer. It's gonna be different, especially because I'm coming from America. Like they're gonna understand.
