I Heart Jeannie Mai

My interview with Sarah Jaggard

// February 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

I was recently approached by a talented sista named Sarah Jaggard to be interviewed, and was so honored because of what I know about her. Besides being gorgeous, she’s beyond brillz, sensationally smart, quick, and just one of those gung ho girls where you can’t help but get excited about what’s gonna happen next just standing beside her.  So you can imagine how thrilled I felt to answer her questions (and great questions btw! Never really got asked how I got started, and it’s so important of my life story.) So I wanted to share this blog from the gorgeous talented Sarah Jaggard and her site- SarahJaggard.blogspot.com.  Read more...

The magic to Mai look..the Pretty Posse

// January 31st, 2010 // 6 Comments » // Fun, Looking Good

A few nights ago I took out my Pretty Posse-my talented group of hair, makeup, and wardrobe all wrapped into colorful bodies of fun, sparkling energy. These guys take my personal style and help me refresh and invigorate it into different versions of me. Because I have such exciting opportunities to dress up, I really do love to ask the famous four words to my show, “How Do I Look?” I believe style is a confident perspective of your identity, and celebrating it with the people who love you.  Read more...

There’s so much to pray for today.

There’s so much to pray for today.

First off, let me explain where I take my prayers: My prayer box. It’s sitting at the top of Runyon Canyon here in Los Angeles, and it’s a living miracle itself. In May last year, I hiked up, chained it up there, put one prayer of protection in it, and watched it fill up with fellow hopefilled Runyon hikers I’ve never met. 4 days later, it was gone, never to be seen again, with a mean Facebook message to me that “People shouldn’t be allowed to pray.” Bitter much? Whatevs, I prayed for them! Fast forward to Jan 1st this year, the box returns, on it’s side, all dirty and mangled, with only 2 prayers in it, ONE BEING MINE.  Read more...

Me, Gaga, and Mai Today Show Appearance.

// January 21st, 2010 // 6 Comments » // $tyle $tealz!, Looking Good, Mai News

I just arrived back from NYC to film this segment-posting here for all who missed. It’s always so much fun teaching women ways to work their wardrobe. My fave part of this was having our special guest Nicole back from this week’s episode of How Do I Look. Not only did she look Un. Be.LiEvAbly hot, but she was just so happy. So different from the woman I first met on our show. (See video to the right on blog homepage) I was elated to see her glow from feeling so gorgeous within. And um…watch her in this clip as she helps me help her get these looks on!  Read more...

A Facebook Favor to Mai Fans

// January 16th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Mai News, Uncategorized

Hi friends. It’s not always that I’ll ask a favor from you guys. Unless it’s to help another. And in this case it takes your quick click.

It’s one thing for a woman to be suffering in an abusive living situation, but it’s another to be isolated in fear when you feel culturally bound to your circumstances with nobody to reach out to for help. There is a one-of-a-kind shelter here in Los Angeles that provides a safe haven for women/families of abused situations. CPAF (Center for Pacific Asian Family) is the first to open a multi-lingual and multi-cultural transitional housing program. Growing up first generation Asian American, I’ve always recognized the difficulty for the women around me to communicate about any dangerous relationships they were struggling with- let alone dare ask for help. I only wish I had known about places like CPAF back then to encourage those women to speak up.  Read more...

The JEANNIE MAI way to have a Happy Birthday

// January 4th, 2010 // 10 Comments » // A-freakn-men!!, Fun, Mai News, Uncategorized

By counting my blessings:

#31. I have friends who will actually go to the trouble each year to get me a wheat-free bday cake I can eat. God bless u babes!!

#30. My job is to make people feel fan-freakin-tastic about who they are. I get to do it whether I’m working or not.

#29. I really love the lil things I don’t love about my bod. It gets me creative about how to dress them all up, otherwise I’d just be wearing Victoria Secret wings all day.  Read more...
