Ladies and Gentlemen, get to know Dreaontv!
I love your hair so lets start there. Is your hair natural? Yes
If so for how long? I've been natural for over 10 years now
When you do where protective styles(extensions) how are they done(quickweave, sew-in)?
I generally keep my hair in the same styles because my work schedule drains me and I need easy styles! More than anything if my hair isn't in a high puff on top of my head, I'll have a kinky curly weave (both quickweave and sew-in) or a straight full weave with none of my hair out. It all depends on what I'm feeling that week.
What suggestions would you give to those who where extensions on maintaining the hair on their head as well as their extensions?
Two words....Silk. Bonnet. always sleep with a silk bonnet on or on a satin pillowcase. It saves your hair from shedding as it does on cotton pillowcases.
What are some of your favorite hair products?
One of my favorite products are the Curls Creme Brulee..My hair loves that stuff!
Next, lets tell the readers a little about you.
Whats your name? Andrea, but since everyone always gets the pronunciation wrong, I just have everyone call me Drea
Where are you from? Philly baby!
What prompted you to start your youtube channel(s)/when did you start?
I originally started my "DreaOnTV" channel out of sheer boredom and a glass of wine one night. After that one video, I started to get requests to give my sometimes over the top and colorful opinionon various topics. Over 100 videos and 10,000+ subscribers later, here we are!
I started my "Luvtheskinurin" channel because I started to get a lot of questions about my hair/makeup/clothing etc. on my Dreaontv channel. I didn't start the Dreaontv channel to do beauty related things, so to try and keep the two worlds separate, I created a channel strictly for the 'beauty' side of things.
How do you think you got so many views/viewers?
Good question! I honestly couldn't tell you..I've been told people can relate to my 'regular girl' point of view and that's why they watch. They feel like they're just talking to one of their sisters/girlfriends. I truly appreciate when I hear things like that because you never know who's life you're affecting.
What irons do you have in the fire outside of your youtube channel(s)?
I have a full time job and I own/operate 2 businesses on the side (Sweetie's Kitchen & Pillow Talk Toys). I'm trying to build a legacy hunny!
Tell us something your viewers and my readers may not know about you.
Hmm..I'm pretty much an open book on my channels so there really isn't too much you all don't know about me. I would say that I'm probably one of the shyest people you'll ever come across. No one ever notices it because I try to talk and joke with everyone around me so they won't be uncomfortable around me 'the shy girl'..isn't that nuts?! I guess that's another thing you guys didn't know, I'm clearly insane. :)
You seem to have a interest in health and beauty as well as telling it like it is on your channels :)
Your skin is awesome! What is your skin care regimen?
Water, water, and more water! I rarely drink soda or juices anymore. I exfoliate 1-2 times a week and at night, put pure vitamin E oil under my eyes and 100% cocoa butter all over my face. It keeps your skin supple and slows the wrinkle process.
p.s You may not want to do this face treatment at night if you have company (if you know what I mean)..they're never ready for that sight!
If stranded on a desert island what are your 5 must haves?
Questions like this are always hard...I would say a laptop because I have all the entertainment I need in it and I can skype friends & loved ones if need be, a big 'ol juicy hunk of a man to kill huge jungle spiders for me, some feminine products, my pink snuggie, and a boat to get the heck outta there when I'm tired of pretending to be stranded!
