From most used emojis to secret selfies she never posted, Olandria Carthen reveals what she has on their phones. Which celebrities slid into her DMs after Love Island? What kind of music does she listen to? What does she have as Nic's contact in her phone?
Transcript
00:00Yeah, the Love Island theme song, yeah,
00:01just brings me back a lot of memories.
00:04Even the text tone.
00:06Heart starts racing, I see the fire pit in my head,
00:09because usually it means I go to the fire pit.
00:15Hi, Glamour.
00:16I'm Alangia Carthan, and I'm here to play Screen Time.
00:19My daily average screen time is nine hours and 12 minutes.
00:22Is that bad?
00:23I don't think that's bad.
00:24I think it was like a lot higher prior to this.
00:27So honestly, I'm doing really good.
00:28Nine hours is not bad.
00:29I don't really think I'm making an effort
00:30to cut back on time.
00:31I'm just so busy.
00:32Less time on my hands to actually just doom scroll.
00:35So it's the busy schedule that's keeping
00:37that screen time down.
00:38I'm not mad at it.
00:38The six weeks that I was filming
00:40and I had no screen time, no phone,
00:41honestly, I must say it was the most at peace I've ever felt.
00:45No outside opinions, no craziness on the internet.
00:48Just me and my thoughts all day.
00:49So it's actually pretty peaceful.
00:55So last night I went to the Woody event.
00:57The best person I met at the Woody event was Pat McGrath,
01:01the icon.
01:02Look at that smile.
01:04Look at me, us, both of us showing all 32.
01:07Honestly, meeting Pat McGrath,
01:08she just followed me like a week or so ago.
01:10So I was already still on a high from that.
01:12Seeing her in person, her noticing me,
01:14knowing my name and just embracing me.
01:16I'm just like, this is not real.
01:18This feels like a dream.
01:19She was so sweet, so welcoming.
01:21She has such a warm aura to her.
01:23I pray, I pray, I pray I get to work with Pat McGrath
01:26very, very, very soon.
01:27She seemed very interested, so we'll see.
01:29Nick loved the event.
01:30It was so entertaining.
01:32So cute.
01:33This is right before we exited the event.
01:35He was my professional dress holder.
01:38I had a whole lot of dress last night.
01:39The most recent one, Pat McGrath, right now.
01:45My brain is fried is all I think about right now is Pat McGrath.
01:49How about Megan Thee Stallings?
01:50I don't think me and Meg follow each other just yet.
01:52It's insane.
01:53This is one of the first huge celebs that I've met.
01:56Do I follow Meg?
01:56Hold on, let me check.
01:58I do now.
02:02I know I had got a few DMs from Ryan Destiny.
02:05It's one of the first ones that I've seen.
02:07Marseille.
02:08My inbox is absolutely insane.
02:11My friend that was running my account, she was so overwhelmed.
02:14She told my other friend, like, please make her an email.
02:15I cannot keep up with these DMs anymore.
02:21So today I have 2.2 million followers.
02:27Prior to me going on the show, I only had 13,000 followers,
02:30and I was so proud of that number, you know, because I built that, you know?
02:33What are your feelings about a hard or a soft launch on Instagram?
02:38Honestly, it's changed so much, especially with me being in the spotlight.
02:42So much of my life is so public.
02:44I kind of like to have things like that more private now.
02:48Even though, like, a lot of people met me and my partner on the screen.
02:50It's kind of hard to hide that because that's where everyone met us.
02:53But prior to this life, I would love a good hard launch.
02:56What about public breakups?
02:59Not a fan of public breakups.
03:01I feel like y'all are true adults.
03:03Settle things in private and there's no need to broadcast anything, you know?
03:07Just move accordingly.
03:08What about public breakups?
03:12Unread messages.
03:13How many do we have?
03:141,391.
03:16I do not have my read receipts on.
03:18It gives me anxiety.
03:19Honestly, I'm so busy.
03:20Sometimes I have enough time to read a message but not respond.
03:23I don't want it to come off as rude, so I just keep it undelivered.
03:262,391.
03:30We have an old spring break group chat because every single spring break we would go as a group.
03:35So that's one.
03:36And I also have a homecoming group chat for obvious reasons.
03:39We go for homecoming weekend and get all together and whatnot, so two.
03:43The group chat name is called Spring Breakers.
03:46We might should change that.
03:47We're no longer in college, so we need to update that name a little bit.
03:50It's harder now to get together around springtime considering
03:53technically none of us have a spring break anymore because we all have jobs.
03:57The last time we were all on a trip together was during college.
04:01Yeah, we were way overdue for a trip.
04:04It's going to be insane.
04:09Me and my girls at homecoming.
04:12Homecoming was so fun.
04:13Obviously, it's so much different now because I am not going back as a regular student.
04:17I am like a celebrity.
04:19It's going to be very hard to keep up this homecoming traditional every single year,
04:23especially with my new life because I don't really know where my schedule is going to take me.
04:27By the grace of goodness, I was able to go this year.
04:29So hopefully next year my schedule allows me to go, but we'll see.
04:37Background image on my lock screen.
04:38Me.
04:39I love looking at me.
04:45It just doesn't flow what I've said in the past interviews.
04:48I was like, oh, I'm an R&B girl.
04:50I listen to R&B.
04:50This is not R&B.
04:52This is like...
04:53So my top artist at the moment is NBA Youngboy.
04:57Honestly, I love old NBA Youngboy, but the most recent song that I've been listening to
05:01is called What You Is.
05:03Do you have any feelings when you hear the Love Island theme song?
05:08Yeah, it just brings back a lot of memories.
05:11Even the text tone, it just brings back memories.
05:14Yeah, sometimes people download it.
05:17Heart starts racing, I see the fire pit in my head because usually it means I go to the fire pit.
05:22Might get dubbed that night.
05:24Never know.
05:28The first person I FaceTimed when I got my phone back was my mother and my sisters.
05:32We had like a group FaceTime.
05:33My mother and my sisters are like my safe space.
05:35So like, I just felt the need to talk to them first.
05:38And then I called my dad immediately after and talked to him as well.
05:41Overall, my family, my parents, all of them were super, super, super proud of me.
05:44The way I carried myself and the way I did not get overly emotional in certain situations.
05:50Even though I had the absolute right to, I still held my composure,
05:53held myself together and did them proud.
05:55So they were happy.
06:00Okay, so I have a video of something I cooked.
06:06Mac and cheese, cornbread, cabbage, barbecue ribs, and mashed potatoes.
06:11I just like being in the kitchen.
06:12And my friends love when I cook so much that they buy me pots and pans for Christmas.
06:17I'm like, I don't need that.
06:18That's so old of you.
06:19I have my macaroni cheese recipe from family.
06:21I actually make a roux, like a cheese sauce first.
06:24And then I mix it in with the noodles and all those things.
06:27It's actually really good.
06:32So these are my most recent emojis.
06:34I feel like I use a red heart so often these days,
06:36especially when I'm commenting back on certain posts.
06:39Do you have an emoji in Nick's name in his contact?
06:45Do you use a lot of specific emojis with him?
06:48A lot of the red hearts and like the little teary-eyed emoji, like with the tears.
06:53When he did his marathon.
06:59So it looks like Monday I had the most steps.
07:03CFDA was on Monday, right?
07:05CFDA, right?
07:07Oh my god, also you look so gorgeous.
07:09I really appreciate it.
07:10What is going on with your style team?
07:12They're just like slaying.
07:13They're just killing it, right?
07:14Yes.
07:19So this note basically is just like a schedule of mine.
07:22It helped me be in line because I have so much going on.
07:25So I have the TikTok summit that I went to last week in New York.
07:29The homecoming thing, CFDA, Glamour.
07:32I got my Fortune and Forks gala that I have to go to on Friday.
07:34They just have like a whole list of things that I have to do for the week.
07:37Oh, this is the last thing that I ordered.
07:44I got my mom this.
07:46And I also got her best friend this as well.
07:51It was like a mixed drink maker.
07:53They both just moved into their new places.
07:54So I was like, you know what?
07:55Let me give you guys a housewarming gift, so.
08:02I took this glam picture right before I put my dress on.
08:05So cute.
08:06Do you ever use your camera as a mirror?
08:08I always use my camera as a mirror,
08:10especially when I'm putting on my lip combo in public.
08:17The last timer I set, let's see here.
08:19Looks like it's one set for 30 minutes.
08:21Must be a small little nap that I was trying to take.
08:23I try to take a little nap in between time as much as possible
08:27because I'm always sacrificing sleep.
08:28I'm a busy girl.
08:33It's called Black Magic Cam.
08:35Downloaded it and never used it.
08:37It was at my Sweetgreen shoot.
08:38One of the guys that was doing like the BTS,
08:40I was like, how are your pictures so clear?
08:42He was like, oh, download this app and like,
08:44it would change your life.
08:45And I was like, oh, perfect.
08:46Forgot to ask him how to use the actual app.
08:48So might have to hit him up for that.
08:50You know what surprised me on my phone?
08:52The fact that I don't really know how to use it.
08:54I don't know how to find my top artist.
08:56Did not even realize we had a voice memo app.
08:58So I have a lot to learn.
09:00Thank you, Glamour, for having me.
09:02See you later.
09:04Bye-bye.
