Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Casual Chaos.
As you guys might have seen on the Casual Chaos
Instagram this week, we posted a Q and A to
get some of your questions that you have for me.
So I'm basically gonna just read your questions and answer them.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
So, first question, did you get a tattoo? Yes?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I actually have two tattoos, so my first tattoo that
I ever got.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
So dumb.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Never get a tattoo with your boyfriend, significant other, best friend,
family member, Like literally no one never get a tattoo
with anyone. It's just it's bad juju because guess what,
I'm not friends with either of them anymore so, and
it's such a stupid tattoo. I have this little star
right here, as you could see, it's really faded and

(00:55):
so ugly. I was never into tattoos. I'm still like
not into tattoos. But when I see someone with like
all those little tattoos on them, like some girls look
so hot with tattoos. Same with guys, like if they
have an arm sleeve or a leg sleeve, it looks good.
But just on me personally, I've never been like I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Get tatted up.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
So getting this tattoo was like such a big thing
for me. I was also eighteen years old, my frontal
lobe was not developed, and my friends really wanted to
get this tattoo. It was before we were going to college.
Oh my god, this is gonna keep us friends forever. Yeah, okay,
so got this star, and yeah, I have been removing

(01:46):
it since last year. We had to take a little
break because I went on acutine. Now I'm gonna start
the sessions back up again. But yeah, so stupid, so stupid.
Then my second tattoo, I have it right here on
my ribs. Actually, all of my sisters, my mom, we
all have it. This is a little different though, it's sentimental,

(02:07):
like this is never going to be.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Stupid.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
But Audriana doesn't have it yet. She's the only one
who doesn't have it yet. But it's on my ribs
right here. It says sembrity in Zami, and it basically
means always together in Italian. And that is the satying
that is on my and No No's plaque in the mausoleum.
And then above it, it's this little bird. And what
it means to me is that I'm always a flight

(02:33):
away from my dad, like I can always fly to
see him. So this is like my little family sentimental tattoo.
But yeah, that is my tattoo story and I am
not I am not getting any other tattoos, just not happening.
Next question, do you see yourself staying in Jersey long term?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
That's a good question. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Wait long term yes, like, I definitely want to raise
my family in Jersey, but I am moving to Jersey
City in one week, and I'm open to exploring other
towns in my twenties, whether it's Brooklyn or I do
move to the city, But Jersey City was a good
step for me because my heart will always be in Jersey.

(03:22):
My family's here, my boyfriend's here, and it's just the
perfect happy medium to make my commute easier to the city,
but then also make it easy for me to just
get on the highway and come see my family or boyfriend.
So I don't know. I'm open to exploring in my twenties,
but long term.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, I think I will always be in Jersey.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Next question, If you couldn't live in Jersey, where would
you live?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I think Florida. I think I would live in Florida.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Who is a guest you really want to have on
and haven't gotten them yet?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I think there's a couple.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I would love to have Paige Desorbo on my podcast.
I would love to have Andy Cohen on my podcast.
I would love to have Chloe Kardashian on my podcast. Honestly,
like like all of the Kardashians and Jenners, I just
think they're so iconic and they all have something to them.

(04:23):
And then I would love to get a couple of
the Love Island people. I would love to get Huda
and Iris and Amaya. There's a lot. There's a lot
of people, guys, There's so many people. But that is
my list.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
What is your dream collab?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
This is good.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I mean I've worked with brands that I never thought
I would work with before, like Soldi, Gennaro Buxum.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
It is pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
But I would say I would love to work with
a Jeens company, like do something with a high end
gene company, because I feel like I have the curves
not to like toot my own horn, but I feel
like to do a brand campaign with Levi's or True
Religion would be pretty iconic.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
What is your ultimate I made it goal? My ultimate
I made a goal.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Is probably, you know, buying a house, being secure in
my family. I think my biggest thing is being financially secure.
That's my I made a goal where I don't have
to worry anymore, Like I'm just like I made it,
which is the I think that's the goal for everyone.
Next question, POV your on Real Houseise in New Jersey

(05:45):
in fifteen years, who would you want as the cast
from the current Real Housewives in New Jersey?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Kids? Oh? Interesting? So current? Okay, I would say, I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I feel like they're all so young, besides the Catanias,
which I would love, but I doubt they would ever listen.
Obviously my sisters, Jennifer Aiden's kids and never say never
my cousins, you know, just bring them all in.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Why not? No shade here.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
What was the hardest part about your parents' divorce for
you personally? I think while things were happening, I was
holding on to the fact of my dad coming home
and not being deported. But once my dad was deported,

(06:46):
I kind of understood that there's this is no way
to have a marriage, especially because we were still all young.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
We all needed to still be in the States for school,
et cetera.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Our life was here, and that would have just it
wouldn't have worked. My mom would have dealt with there,
would have you know, I just could have imagined infidelity
this that like it just would have not been a healthy,
sustainable marriage.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
And I would have never wanted that for my mom.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
She would she wants a companion that's with her every
single day, and I would want the same thing. So
once my dad was deported, the answers were the answers
were a little more clear, but prior I wanted both
of them to stick it out until the final answer
was there. And I think that's what was probably the

(07:35):
hardest thing for me personally. Will your dad tried to
come back to the US any chance of contacting the
current admin? Yeah, my dad would love to come back
to the US. I think we all try every day
for just to speak our minds and just really vocalize

(07:57):
how much we miss our father and how amazing it
would be if he was here. Like me moving into
my apartment next week, I wish my dad was here.
And I think it's hilarious because my stepdad Louis and
my boyfriend Christian are just not handy, and if my
dad was here, he would want to do it all.

(08:18):
It would be done in minutes like, so of course,
like we push for him to come back every day.
Do you think your family would do a reality show?

(08:39):
Next question, have you ever been offered a show or
brand deal you turned down? I've never been offered a
show yet that I have turned down. Oh my god,
yes I have. I got asked to go on Love
Island like year after year, and I turned that down
obviously because I'm dating my boyfriend Christian. But yeah, I've

(09:04):
got asked to go on Love Island uside. It was
a lot during when I was in college, but it
was like pretty consecutive when I was in college and
I turned that down.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
And brand deals, I really love.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
To keep them authentic to me, so if it's something
that doesn't resonate with me, I typically do not do them.
What's the craziest rumor you have heard about yourself?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh? Well, this is fine.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
There's this crazy AI account on Facebook that literally has
just been making the most fake news I've ever seen
in my life. I was in the nail saw on
the other day and this lady was like, Oh my god,
your wedding dress was gorgeous.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I was like, what is she talking about? Like
I did not get married, nor am I engaged, nor.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Did I have a secret wedding with only my immediate family,
Like none of this happened. That I got into a
car accident with my white Mercedes that I had like
two years ago, and the Mercedes that was pictured just.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Wasn't even the Mercedes I had.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
And then Christian and I getting married, Like we're not
getting married. I've been pregnant before, not pregnant. Maybe I
just looked chunky that day. Who knows.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
What else I.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Think, just like crazy rumors about my family, like just
stuff like that. But yeah, there's this crazy account on Facebook.
Just ignore it all, Like, no one's pregnant, no one's married,
no one's.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Engaged, no one.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I've never been in an accident, so not on would
but yeah no, actually I've been in like fender benders,
like little things. I thank god never gotten into like
an accident where I've gotten hurt.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
And that Mercedes looked like totaled. So just no, not true.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
How long have you been with Christian and what is
the foundation of your relationship.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I've been with Christian for six years.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
We've been together since we were nineteen, so it was
the summer that I was going into college. And I
think the foundation of our relationship.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Is, honestly trust.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
We've been through a lot, We've been through a lot
of ups and downs, so I think the biggest thing
is trust and we're still going strong. So without trust,
you do not have a relationship.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
So I know that.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
How do you handle having a public relationship. Do you
ever feel pressure to post or hide things?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think you Like, there's not much that I feel
the need to hide, obviously unless it was very personal,
but I think a little bit of pressure to post things.
Christian and I do have a TikTok account together and
we it's called Jia and Christian.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
And I think it's like Underscorgian Christian.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I should know this, Underscorgia and Christian, and we need
to get better with posting on it.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
But you know, it was something that we were having.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Fun doing and now people are like, oh, I haven't
seen you posting with him, Like it's not intentional, you know,
it's just sometimes my work things, like I'm doing things
and he's not a part of it. And that's completely
normal in a relationship. But yeah, we do need to
be better about posting on our TikTok. But yeah, I

(12:41):
think a little bit of the pressure to post. But
other than that, nothing too crazy. Have you and Christian
ever taken a break?

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yes, we have.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
We actually broke up for six months when we were
twenty one, so my junior year of college, and it
was basically because he needed some time to grow. I
was his first girlfriend, so I am very I think
you guys could tell this about my personality, like, I

(13:13):
really don't take that much, especially when it comes to
building yourself and motivation and career paths and drive. So
he kind of needed to find himself a little bit.
And it was also an amazing time for me. I
needed time, I think for myself just to have some fun.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Never really.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Explored single girl era, so that was fun. But yeah,
it was kind of just our time to grow and
it was probably the best thing we ever did because
we came back a lot stronger. Next question, what is
your biggest green flag in your relationship? My biggest green flag,

(13:58):
I would say trust. We really do trust each other
a lot. And communication because we are very big on that.
We communicate, you know, everything that we do, and I
think that's what also builds the trust. Next question, bring
back content with Christian and you. What did he think

(14:21):
about being on Next Gen MYC with you and would
he do it again? I know, guys, I was just
saying that I need to bring back the content, and
we need to bring back the content and it needs
to happen and we will do it. Don't worry. He
actually liked being on Nexttion MYC. I mean, he didn't
mind it, but also like this is not his world.

(14:43):
This is not something that he's used to, and it
was definitely a little bit of an adjustment. He definitely
got super nervous before filming and it's definitely just again
an adjustment. There's certain things that happen on camera behind
the scenes that you're like, why do we need to

(15:04):
do this, and it's like, well, we need to do
this to get this and do that, and so I
think that's definitely a hard thing for him to just
kind of process and like get used to. So yeah,
but he didn't mind it, and he's amazing, Like he
is so amazing. I don't think twice when he's filming.

(15:27):
He really is just amazing. And will he be on
an action m I see this season. I guess you
guys are gonna have to wait and see. What's the
first memory you have of being on the Real Housewives
in New Jersey? My acting lessons, Yeah, I would say
my acting lessons, New York Fashion Week, moving into my

(15:48):
house with Alberto and telling him to bring my suitcases upstairs. Yeah,
those were the best memories looking back, do you wish
you hadn't grown up on TV? No gives you character,
makes you, turns you into you know who you are today,

(16:11):
So I think you go through everything for a reason.
Next question, what's something your mom said on camera that
still lives rent free in your head? The first thing
that just came to my mind is I'm gonna blow
my casket. That's literally the first thing that just came
to my mind. But she's just said so many better

(16:33):
things than that, Like she's just she's so unintentionally funny,
Like she's just so good.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
She's Reality TV gold.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Next question, what's one thing people totally misunderstand about your mom?
I think people, you know, you either get my mom
or you don't.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
And she.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Says everything for a reason and believes everything for a reason.
So whenever she's trying to get her point across. I
think some people just don't understand her. And she has
points everything that she says, and I just think she
has a hard time maybe getting her point across the

(17:18):
best in the best way, And I think that's why
people misunderstand her, because you just have to get her,
you know, you just to get my mom to know,
like you're right and that's a fact.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
And okay, you know.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
How is you and your family's relationship with the Gorgas.
I think, you know, there's nothing right now, but hopefully
we can come to a peaceful place soon.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Next question, do you and your.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Sisters get to talk to you get to talk to
or see your cousins at all? Not really, I think
you know. On fortunately with the show, it became a
little like very toxic. So it just got a little
difficult for you know, the kids to maintain a relationship,
which is very unfortunate. But you know, if we do

(18:12):
come to a place of peace, there's definitely room to
you know, grow and maybe build the relationships again.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Next question, how was Special Forces? Did it change you? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Special Forces definitely changed me for the better. I think
it made me also realize a lot about myself, that
I can be on my own, that I could handle
things on my own, and that I could challenge myself
more than I could have ever imagined, and that I
could face anything. So Special Forces was very, very life
changing for me.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
It really was.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Next question, where do you find your inner strength? You're
so strong on Special Forces?

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
I think I just honestly, guys, when I was on
Special Forces, I kind of just kept to myself. Okay,
you made it through the day one, are right, you
can make it through day two?

Speaker 2 (19:04):
L right, day two is over?

Speaker 1 (19:05):
You Like, I motivate myself by just speaking to myself,
so it's like, okay, this is almost over. You have
this much more to go, Okay, this much left. Like
I'm a very just like in my head type of person,
Like I motivate myself like that. So that's how I
kept going. How much weight would you say you lost

(19:26):
after Special Forces? I lost ten pounds. Yeah, I lost
ten pounds after Special Forces. That was so good. Next question,
how is your skin?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
What do you use? My skin is amazing.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
It did a complete one eighty you guys, I can't
even explain it. So I use this clear stem app
to look up all the skincare products that I was using,
And basically you look up all the ingredients in your products,
and the website tells you if there's any poor clogging
ingredients in them. Anything that had a poor clogging ingredient
I eliminated for my skincare routine. So right now, I

(20:04):
use the Caudally Foaming cleanser, the Caudally Gel moisturizing cleanser.
Then I use Hydrinity. I think that's the brand. Let
me look it up for you guys right now, Hydronity.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I think that's it. Yes, okay.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Then I use the Hydrinity Restorative HA serum, and I
also use the Hydrinity spray. It's basically like a disinfected
spray kills all bacteria on your face. And then I
use the Caudally Viny Perfect serum. That's the one that

(20:46):
helps with dark spots. And then I also use the
Caudally Retinol serum in the pink bottle. And for moisturizer,
I think it's Hydrogenity are No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Let's see, Oh no, I think it is. Let's say.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Moisturizers. Let's say, oh no, they only have one moisturizer.
It's not hydridity. Shoot, I gotta get it for you.
You know what, when this Q and A comes out,
I'll post it on the Casual Chaos story what moisturizer
I use. And then I also use for an exfoliator,

(21:37):
the clear Stem detoxifying mask. You don't need to leave
it on as a mask. You can kind of just
use it as an exfoliator. So that's kind of my
skincare routine. But I think, and there's also a video
on my TikTok if you guys want to go check
that out. Next question, what are some period hacks you

(21:57):
have to manage pain or discomfort?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Girl? Please let me know, because I don't have any,
not even kidding.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
I just like also, like my period is such an
inconvenience and I do get bad cramps, but like I
deal with it, like I change the tampon, I move on.
I don't really pay much attention to my period. It's
just an inconvenience and it's fine. It doesn't need to
like bring down my mood. So I don't really pay

(22:26):
attention to her when she comes around, and she's around
right now, so you know, just I don't really.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Pay attention to her.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Okay, guys, and that was all of my questions. Thank
you guys so much for posting your questions and I
hope I answered everything and more. But that was it
for this week's episode of Casual Chaos, Love you, guys.
