Tinashe s Ski Road Trip Travel Routine

My eyes get a little puffy in the morning,

so I always like to do a face mask.

This one s really cute.

I think this is a look, I think I should go out like this.

Vogue.

[upbeat instrumental pop music]

Good morning, Vogue.

I m Tinashe, I m here in Los Angeles,

and I m super excited because today I am going skiing.

That s actually super fun, it s only a couple hours

away from L.A., so we re packing up all my ski stuff.

I m gonna show you guys some of my favorite

cold weather packing tips and tricks.

[light instrumental R&B music]

It s time to pack.

First things first, snow pants.

Packing for cold weather s actually

a lot harder than packing for warm weather,

because cold weather clothes take up way more space.

When I go on tour and I have to go from hot to cold weather

really quickly, it s actually very difficult,

but the best thing about that is hot weather clothes

are usually very small, so I can like,

scrunch em up really tiny like a little tank top,

that s like, this big, you know.

I m gonna bring my essential items.

One brush, blush, mascara,

foundation, eyebrow pencil.

One time I had to do a show, and my suitcase got lost,

and like, sent to a different country.

So I literally had nothing to wear, and no makeup to put on,

which is why I also learned to put your makeup

in your carryon as well, because you ve gotta have

some essential items on your person at all times.

[zipping bag]

I also wanna bring some fun stuff,

cause we re going to the snowy cabin.

So, the first fun thing I wanna bring is a game.

Cards Against Humanity is always a fun game.

And then, yeah, a fun little Polaroid camera,

so you can capture the moment.

Say cheese.

Aw, it s not working.

Always have to bring a neck pillow,

or like a fun pillow of sorts, because you re always

tired on the road, and you just need

somewhere to lay your head, so.

I like Totoro.

So, we packed up the suitcases.

Last minute, just gotta make sure

I have all of my essential purse items.

I keep a Sharpie in my purse in case I need

to sign autographs, cause you gotta be prepared.

Ibuprofen, hand lotion, lip balm.

I got a lighter because I like

to light things on fire, mostly candles.

And last but not least, I actually

have a Palo Santo smudge stick.

If I m ever somewhere, and I m like,

yo, this person s vibe is not it, I m just like,

yo, get out of my face, get out of my face.

Good vibes all around.

Good vibes save lives.

Let s go, let s get it.

I ll meet you guys at the car, bye.

All right, so it is 10:00, it s super late,

we are behind schedule, but we finally got all

our stuff packed up, so we re ready to head up the mountain.

I got my brother with me, my friend Hillary.

You guys ready?

Yeah, let s do it.

Let s do it. Let s go.

So we re on the road, we made it on the road.

We have a long way to go.

I m going to show you guys my little makeup routine

that I would do, for just kind of your day to day.

I m not going to an event or anything like that,

so this is what I would put on

just to go up the mountain, if you will.

So I have this.

All right, first things first.

I could use like, a little foundation.

I m a little pale.

I like really sheer foundations,

cause I don t like to cover up all of my freckles.

Sometimes my foundation looks too dark

in the winter, cause I get so pale.

I even try to buy, like, a shade lighter in the wintertime.

Sometimes you gotta add a little extra oomph,

you know what I m saying?

So that s why we have bronzer.

And I just like to put that on my forehead.

Traveling really makes you get

used to doing your makeup on the go.

I ve done my makeup on airplanes, tour buses, cars.

In the dark. [laughs]

With my eyes closed.

So you have to have your,

at least basic makeup routine down pat.

Oh, we re at a red light.

This is the perfect time to fill in your eyebrows.

[upbeat instrumental hip hop music]

I really like this Chanel pencil,

cause again, it s like, not too dark, but.

When you re moving, it s all about the aim.

You ve just gotta like, aim, man.

Bam.

One brow, two brows, okay.

Blush, blush is actually my favorite,

cause I feel like if I didn t have

anything else and I just put on some blush,

I always end up looking okay, so.

Gosh, this lighting is just atrocious.

On the road, you never know what the lighting is gonna be.

Right now I got a patch of shade.

Oh, there comes the sun again.

It s like, you just have to always be prepared.

Always like a little lipstick.

It has a lot of my moisture in it, too.

I don t like lipsticks that are too dry.

Chanel.

Chanel, baby.

Sometimes, I like to mix lipsticks,

cause this one s a little too light,

I think, so I ll try this guy.

Gonna do a couple swipes of mascara, not too much,

cause that s not the vibe of the day,

but we ll just do a couple.

I like that, that s nice.

Okay, I call this, Tinashe s everyday. [laughs]

Nude, non-makeup makeup look.

Said, looks fresh.

Thanks, Hill.

Boop, all done.

[light instrumental R&B music]

I went on my first tour when I was in a girl group

when I was 16 years old, with Justin Bieber.

So that was crazy, cause I knew nothing

about touring, nothing about the road.

I ve since then, 10 years later,

have learned a lot in terms of what works,

and the best way to travel, and how to travel comfortably.

And once you get it down to a system,

traveling feels like so much less of a big deal.

Traffic is not great. [laughs]

We are currently stuck in lovely Los Angeles traffic.

All right, it is 1:45 in the afternoon.

We haven t made it to the mountain yet,

but it s raining down here, and based on what it looks like,

it s super, duper snowy up there.

We heard the weather s actually really terrible,

so I think we re gonna postpone the skiing until tomorrow,

and we may just stay the night

somewhere at the base of the mountain.

All right, it s 2:00.

We almost made it to the mountain,

but we decided that we needed to

stop for one more snack first.

So, you know me, it s taco time.

Oh, let s go.

We re eating now.

Do the taco dance.

[laughs]

What is this?

The sun finally came out, the rain stopped.

The rainbow came out, it seems like a sign,

so I m gonna take over driving,

and we re gonna get back in the car.

See what happens.

Wish us luck.

[Kudzai] How long does it say it s gonna be?

Two hours.

[Kudzai] Two?

Yeah.

[Hillary] They re all putting on chains.

[Tinashe] Yeah, the snow is messing up

our whole day plans.

Rerouting.

I don t know what s gonna happen.

But you can t control the weather now, can you?

We re gonna make it. [snaps]

We re gonna make it. [snaps]

[laughing]

We re gonna make it. [snaps]

Y all, I don t even know if I m going the right way.

[Hillary] We re kinda going all the way around it now.

This is such a big loop.

[laughs]

[GPS] Slide to the right.

[laughs]

We still haven t made it up the mountain yet,

but it s an adventure.

♪ Yes ♪

♪ Yep, yep, yep, yep ♪

♪ Yep, yep, yep, yep ♪

♪ Yep, yep, yep, yep ♪

[horn honking]

[laughs] Okay, we just got an ETA update from Waze.

An hour has been added to our trip.

[horn honking]

Like, we could go back home,

it s closer than going all the way up. [laughs]

I feel like we should abort the mission,

and come back in the morning.

This is insane.

[horns honking]

Let s go.

[Hillary] All right.

Well, it s 6:30, and we never

made it to Big Bear, unfortunately.

Guess we ll have to try again tomorrow.

But we had a pretty fun day, like, roadtripping.

Yeah.

We got some tacos,

got to hang out.

Good friends, good conversation.

It was a good time. [laughs]

Good times, you know.

This is the end of the journey.

So sad to say goodbye,

because we didn t even get to say hello.

[laughing]

Whatever. It was fun.

See you guys next time, bye. [blows kiss]

[laughs] We had a good time.

It is 7:00 AM, and we re so excited

cause we re finally going up the mountain.

Not only did we make it to Big Bear, everyone,

but it s beautiful out, it s the perfect conditions.

It made it all worth it.

It s lit.
