Drew: One of our next guests, is one the biggest social media stars right now, a brand owner who started while she was in her second year of college, and all around sweetheart, Caroline Wilkins is here, and I’m so excited to have a conversation with her.

Drew: How did you, like, get the confidence to put yourself out there on social media like that?
Caroline: When I started Social Media, I was living with Katya at the time, and it’s not hard to find confidence in living with a drag queen. She was the reason I gained followers, people were fascinated by this dynamic between us as friends. So, I think that if I would’ve just been in school, I wouldn’t have even started posting other than the average, “hi this is my face” on instagram selfie.

Drew: Which part of your “brand” I brand but I mean career, do you feel is the most authentic part of yourself? Is it more the social media you, or the business side of things?
Caroline: Um, I wouldn’t say that the business side of things is most me because I suck at that side of things, I have no idea how to do the taxes. I think probably my most authentic self is designing. This whole thing started with me just making clothes for my friends and projects in school to have a whole brand that just keeps exploding. So, I don’t want to ever lose that part of it.
Drew: Fans are incredibly obsessed with your social media, especially the back and forth between you and your boyfriend, The Weeknd. I’ve seen so many tweets about people just gushing on how cute “#abeline” is.  You recently went to Rome, and moved in together, are you so happy?

Caroline; Oh, my goodness, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.It’s really special to have met my soulmate, and just be super in love.It’s nice to have that person that loves you and cares about you, would go to the ends of the earth kind of thing.  But yeah, we did a little after christmas trip in Rome and then I moved in with him when we got back. We’re really happy.”

Drew: I think fans are especially loving that you guys seem to do, like, normal couple things. Like this journey of watching all the Marvel movies.
Caroline: I had never seen them, so we’ve been watching one a night before bed and it’s been really fun. I mean, the movies are incredible, but it’s also night to have that time to decompress with my boo thang. But he really likes to roast me on twitter during these movies.
Drew: What’s it like living with The Weeknd? I feel like he could be kinda crazy to live with?
Caroline: I mean, he’s really easy to live with but like, crazy does happen. Oh my god, he’s probably going to kill me for telling this story…
Drew: Well, now you have to tell it, I’m dying here.
Caroline: Okay, okay. One day, we’d been kinda busy, he was working on the album, and I was in the office. Anyway, I had gotten home kinda late, and I was looking around for Abel. I’m like, okay I guess he’s in bed, whatever, I go upstairs, I'm just walking along and I get to our room and I can see the bathroom lights on. I’m like, cool, shower…s— I mean, yay, getting clean, anyway, I open the door…

Caroline: “and abel is completely naked…except for the old man prosthetics, you know, from the album and stuff, and I’m like just standing there staring at him, and I don’t know what to do because I’m so shocked, like if he wasn’t naked, I wouldn’t know it was him!! I just like backed out of the door and took two tequila shots.
Drew: WHAT! Just naked with…that face?
Caroline: Yup, and I literally just couldn’t deal.
Drew: So, what did you do? Was he like taking it off? Did you scream and ask for a warning next time?
Caroline: I just went to bed and when he finally came, to snuggle, we’re snugglers. I say, “Goodnight Granddaddy.” 
Drew: Did he like….like it? Or was it like a laugh?
Caroline: He hates it when I call him “granddaddy.” But like, he’s the one walking around looking like a elderly sugar daddy. What am I supposed to do?
Drew: And you’re launching a new project coming up, right?
Caroline: Yes! I’m launching a perfume collection, I’m starting with Crave by…Caroline, me, obviously. I wanted to create a line of perfume that’s vegan, not only cruelty free but animal friendly, because we obviously have pets, a lot of things can be toxic for our furry friends, but I also wanted it to be all natural but still make you feel sexy, and confident. Alluring anyway. So, Crave is the first scent I’m launching. I have more coming, all in sort of different moods when I feel my best, like “Cudde by Caroline” will be next with a more relaxing vibe, but I’m really excited.
Drew: And you brought some to share, and the bottle is really unique, right?
Caroline: Yes, it changes color with body heat, so like as your mood heats up, the bottle does too. It’s very 90’s, y2k with the mood ring vibe.

Drew: I think that’s such a cute design really, and honestly, it smells really good, you should all pick it up when it launches, february 1st, that’s the date right?
Caroline: Yep! You can purchase Crave on February 1st on my website!
Drew: thank you so much for visiting, this was super fun and you’re such a sweetheart.
Caroline: No, oh my goodness, thank youuu!
