Welcome to my YouTube channel!

Welcome to MyFairwayLife! I’m so excited to share my life on and off the fairways with you. There’s so many layers to people and I feel that vlogging will help me with my own goals and even anxieties I struggle with.

I’ve been known for my golf girl antics across social media but there’s so much more to me than that. I’m finishing my MBA, starting a business with my boyfriend, traveling, starting a weight loss journey, and talking about moving to a new area (potentially!) ☺️

I’ve been through a lot in life and I want to share my experiences and story to let people know they aren’t alone.

If you like fun, authentic, awkward, silly, honest content then I am your girl!!

Hi guys, welcome to my YouTube channel, My Fairway Life. For those of you that do not know me, hi, I’m Nicole. I am mostly known as being half of My Fairway Ladies, a golf girl duo on Tik Tok and Instagram. Mostly known for their golf girl antics. So, switching gears just a little bit, I feel like I’ve built a reputation over the past three years of just being like this obnoxious goofball of a golf girl. And honestly, there’s so much more to me and I just want to share that with you guys. We’ve gotten so many messages like about how we’ve inspired other people and golf girls to get out there and try new things. And I just thought I would share life with you guys beyond the fairway. Um, and kind of get into who I am as a person, what I have going on, things I’m doing, journeys, things I struggle with, all of it. So, let’s go. First and foremost, social media is very difficult. It’s not difficult to do, but it’s difficult to build up a thicker skin, um, to not be swayed or influenced by the negative things that people have to say. I have had so many comments about my weight, all of these things that I’m insecure about, and honestly, it taught me to love myself even more. So, kudos to you guys. Since I moved to North Carolina, there’s been a lot of cool changes that we have going on. Um, we’re talking about moving eventually once I graduate with my degree, my masters. Um, exploring the country a little bit. We’re going on vacations more. Just stuff that we never thought we would really do together. Um, so it’s been kind of exciting. Since moving to North Carolina, things are so exciting. Uh my boyfriend and I have had so much fun. Um just starting new projects, getting to spend time together, starting to travel. It’s been so exciting and I’m obsessed with it. We’re even talking about possibly moving across the country. We’re also talking about moving a couple hours away. Like we don’t we don’t know exactly what we want to do, but we just know that we’re having fun and we’re open to all these different possibilities. The most exciting journey that I’m going on at this moment is definitely my weight loss journey. I have struggled with my weight my whole entire life. Actually, that’s not true. I would say over the past 12 years, um, I’ve struggled with my weight, but a lot of that was like medical conditions that were out of my control. Um, and then just like self-medicating with things that made me feel good, which was food. If you know, you know. So, after tons of research, um, talking to my doctor, I did decide to go on a GLP1 injection. Um, hopefully I get that either today or tomorrow. I’m really excited because I have done everything. I’ve tried everything. A lot of it is hormones for me. I’m 34, but I’ve been in menopause since I was 29. I had a full hyctomy, um, ovaries, everything. um because of endometriosis. So, I’ve struggled um the past few years. I did lose weight. I worked out. I ended up getting an injury surgery. Like, I don’t want to be a weightlifter. I just want to be healthy. I want to be happy. So, if I need an extra boost of GLP, I need an extra boost of GLP. That’s what I decided and that’s what I’m going with. I’ve also been struggling a little bit with like my anxiety. Not to the point where I like want to quit things that I love, but when I do a lot of things such as like starting a business, being in school, looking at places to move, like I love that stuff, but it also gives me like a ton of anxiety and sometimes I don’t sleep. I’ll have like insomnia about it. It’s not a fun time, but I find ways to work through that. I think the biggest misconception is that especially on social media is that people just want to show you what they want and create this like perception of oh I’m I’m you know not flawed in any way dude I am like holding it together by a thread sometimes you know and that’s okay like we’re all just human we’re making the best of this trip on this rock I used to care a lot about what people thought of me. This is before social media. I would like worry about my appearance, the way I acted, all of this stuff. And honestly, after doing social media, I literally do not care. And it’s not like an arrogant I don’t care. It’s just like I’m free from all of that like added anxiety that I just I I love everything now. Like I just don’t care. I feel like once you find that freedom, life just flows differently. Not that I’m saying everybody has to get on social media and bear yourself to the world. Honestly, it it’s not that. It’s just finding that inner confidence. And for me, it was posting myself and sometimes embarrassing myself and making people laugh and being like, “Oh, okay. It’s totally fine. I’m still alive. I’m still breathing after embarrassing myself. Cool. the show will go on. I think the biggest thing I’m excited about right now is definitely my weight loss journey. It’s just my weight has been such a big part of like the past decade of my life and I felt trapped in my body for so long that I finally feel like I’m ready mentally and physically to tackle that on. So, I’ve always loved working out. I love going to the gym, but I struggle so bad with food noise. The second I’m like stressed or upset, I’m like, “Oh, I need cookies. Oh, I need ice cream. Oh, I need pizza. I need all those things that make me feel good.” And then before you know it, I ballooned back up 25 pounds. So, today is July 1st. So, I weighed myself this morning. I’m starting at 225.8. So, I’m up literally 25 lbs from when I moved here last July. I’m going to blame my boyfriend on that because we’re both foodies and anytime he’s like, “Do you want this?” I’m like, “Yeah, we’re both terrible influences on each other.” But we’re getting it together. One thing that I’ve definitely learned as I’ve gotten older, and this might come with like age or just common sense, um, the media definitely scares us more than we need to be scared. For instance, GLP1, Ozmpic, whatever. So, the media will take one user. I remember the one that was going around. It was like Sharon Osborne and they’re like, “Look at her sunken face. Look at all this.” First of all, our bodies have GLP. The GLP shot just helps increase that. So, it’s like to reduce your cravings, make you feel fuller longer, increase your metabolism, all of that stuff. So, it’s what our body has. It’s just the shot helps increase it. Yes, they’re used for diabetics, some of these injections, but the other ones, from my research, it’s used for obesity. I think I’m like 50% body fat. Half of my body is just fat. That’s disgusting. So, for me, I don’t want to be half fat. You know what I mean? Like, I want to be healthier. I want to be fitter. I want to be active. I want to do things that I love. And I want to learn to create healthy habits. like as far as eating. So whether that means therapy, whether that means, you know, an app to help me control my appetite, like I’ll do whatever I have to to help myself live a fulfilling life. That’s just what I’m all about. So, back to the media. I feel like it shows, you know, one person, Sharon Osborne, who is like what, a 100red years old at this point anyway, and they’re like, “Look at how, you know, sunken in all of her stuff is.” Well, yeah, if you go from like 100 lb overweight and then you just lose that like in a year, of course, you’re going to have like sagging skin, but you have to be smart about it. So, not just taking the shot and letting all of your muscle mass like waste away. Like, use body weight, go to the gym, work out, do cardio, eat healthy. Like, it’s not just supposed to be like this cheat sheet thing where you’re like just rely on it. And and if you want to do that, great. I personally would like to work out. I want to eat better. We’re going to do carnivore, but like mix in some supplements to help us with fiber for digestive health. I did read about like the side effects of like constipation. I don’t want to be constipated all the time. So, yeah, I’m excited about it. If it’s going to help me lose some weight, get to a healthier range, lose some fat, gain some confidence, I’m all for it. I feel like celebrities are often targeted because of their position in society and influencing, deinfluencing, and it creates like unrealistic expectations for people. And I don’t care about showing like the real authentic side of me. Like if it helps somebody, I’m going to show you. I’m going to tell you my side effects. I’m going to tell you how I feel about it. I’m going to tell you what works, what doesn’t work, and take you along my journey. Maybe it’ll help somebody. Maybe it won’t. But for me, I think documenting my journey and seeing the progress is going to help me stick to what I need to to continue my health journey. So, once I start my shots, I think I’ll do like a weekly check-in just to see what I lose for the week. Kind of document what I’m eating, what worked, what didn’t work. Um, it’s just going to be a trial and error, which I’m really excited about. I don’t I’m not going into this with like unrealistic expectations like, “Oh my god, I’m going to lose 20 pounds in the first month.” If I do, great. If I don’t, that’s cool. I don’t care. I’m willing to try anything. All I know is the scale keeps going up and I am losing my mind. I’m not very used to talking like this at the camera. When I put the GoPro in the cart, I don’t even realize it’s there. So, like that’s authentically me. This is authentically me. I’m just like nervous about it because I don’t like to talk face to face to people. I’m actually super like introverted in that way. Which is weird because people are like, “You’re so outgoing.” And I’m like, I know I’m outgoing, but I get nervous talking to people. Dude, I love this mascara. It’s a tubing mascara. I don’t use regular mascara anymore, especially being a golf girl in the south. Oh my god, I like sweat everything off like an hour into it. So, this tubing mascara, it does not move. I put it on and my eyelashes look the same. There’s no runs, no nothing. So, this is my holy grail mascara. And it’s not difficult to get off either. You just like wet your eyelashes at the end of the night and you can literally like push them off. It’s so cool. This side, I don’t know what’s going on. So, I use um like eyelash serum, but for whatever reason, this side of my eyelashes just don’t grow. They’re like little nubbins over here. So, I usually have to like layer it quite heavily to get the same look as my right side. So, anybody struggles with uneven body parts or eyelashes or whatever, I feel you. I also think it’s super fun to have like a boyfriend or a husband or whatever that’s your best friend because doing journeys is so much more fun when you have a person to do it with. So, um my boyfriend is definitely doing the weight loss journey with me. I’m so excited that he’s going to do it, too, and just get healthy together because we have a plan for a fun, adventurous life, and I want us to both be 117 years old still doing it. Maybe not 117 cuz dang, I’m already exhausted, but like, you know what I mean? I feel like the more I do these like videos, I’ll probably get more comfortable talking and being more myself. Not that I’m not myself, but I’m definitely holding back a little bit. I’m definitely a weirdo. I definitely say some weird things and make weird faces. I we a lot when I laugh, but we all know that. Dude, isn’t that crazy? That’s not like I barely had eyelashes on that side. Like, I love this stuff. Once I find a product, I will buy like a hundred of them and like invest in it. I also have I have the Tarte ones, the Tarte tubing mascara. Um I have it in black and brown. So, what I usually do is put the brown on my bottom lashes just so it’s more natural for the daytime. And I’ve really been liking that little combo. Since I work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays, I decided to buy a walking pad. It was like $150, I think, on Instagram. And I also got like the vibration plate because that’s supposed to help with like lymphatic drainage and all that stuff. Um, so I’m also going to document those from my spare bedroom right next door and see how that goes. I never really work out from home anymore, but I’m excited to at least move while I’m home. So, my goal is to just be like more active, moving more. He wants to walk some golf holes, and I’m like, “Okay, sis, calm down. We’ll get there. Maybe when it’s not 104 outside, but we’ll get there.” That’s pretty much all I do like to get ready. I’m not I don’t like a ton of makeup anymore. I don’t know if it’s just me being older or the hotness down here, but I just like to go simple. I mostly focus on like sunscreen. I use this one. I use the for some extra hydration. I use these cute little E.L.F. Burst drops and yeah, just go with it. And then just a setting spray. I’m excited about the direction of my YouTube channel. I feel like there’s more of me to share and I’m really excited about that. Damn, those eyelashes are crazy. I have a mirror down here that I can like look in, but I ordered like a mirror to go behind my camera. It’s just not here yet. I think that’ll help me film easier. It’s like hard cuz you can’t look over here at yourself. Like the camera’s over here, so you have to look at this little dot. But I can see myself over here. I should put like tape up or something. stopped looking over there. So, yeah, that’s just my little intro. I’m hoping I can build a fun community over here like I have on Tik Tok and Instagram. I just want to show people that you can be real, authentic, no BS. Just get down to it. Answer questions honestly. I don’t care if things get sponsored. I don’t care about any of that. I just care about people knowing the truth about things, how it works, how it affects your body. And trust me, like, I’m going to tell you all of the things. truth no matter what. So, um I’m excited. I’m going to share my favorite products, things that I love, places I love to go, things I love to eat. Like, whatever it is, we’re just going to take it, see how it evolves, and go from there. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you guys have an amazing day. Can’t wait to celebrate the holiday this weekend.
