Hi, guys.
My name's Imane. I also go by Poki.
And these are my essentials.
Like, I actually can't live without these.
If you take them away, I'll go feral.
[mellow hip-hop music]
[text beeps]
[plastic crackling]
Don't gimme too many. I will eat them all.
These are my guilty pleasure, like,
so much so that I ask them to bring them to me
'cause I try not to keep too many in my house.
I will devour them all.
I've always really liked Flaming Hot Cheetos in particular,
not the big ones.
I want 'em flamin', like,
it-hurts-so-good kind of spicy, you know?
Can I have some?
Oh, also the only downside is, obviously,
your fingers can get a little-
[Cheeto crunching]
Dusty.
But what I see a lot of my friends do
is they'll just use chopsticks.
No dusty fingers.
It's amazing.
[Cheeto crunching]
[text beeps]
This.
This is called an Octobuddy.
It's like $8 on Amazon.
This thing sticks to almost everything, like...
[phone slams]
[suction cup crackles]
It's so useful.
You wanna film something?
You didn't bring a tripod,
because who brings around a tripod this big?
And I like my purses small, you know?
No tripod fits in a small purse.
So this is basically like a tripod.
If I'm getting ready or I'm doing my skincare
or if I'm in the shower, I'll just stick it on the wall.
So if you wanna film, like, a little get-ready-with-me,
you could literally take this,
stick it to the mirror, and film.
You're good to go.
Hey, GQ.

I used a laptop to start streaming, very, very early days.
And then I had to save up
for a $300 secondhand custom-built PC.
And that was my first jump in my equipment for streaming.
Since then, especially as it becomes your job, you know,
you really, really wanna optimize every little thing,
your audio, your setup.
I now have a two-PC setup,
three monitors, two mics, two keyboards, two mice.
I have so much going on,
and this was the big camera upgrade that I used.
And since then, I just haven't looked back.
Love it.
When you stream, you wanna have a high-def camera,
but you don't want it to be, like, too high-def.
Like, I don't want people out there
to be able to count every single pore I have on my skin.
And a lot of high-def cameras are like that.
You need one that has a nice, healthy little blur.
[text beeps]
The one thing that maybe a lot of people wouldn't guess
about me, 'cause I do game a lot,
I don't like to stay up late.
I really don't.
I feel like I spend so much time in front of a screen.
A lot of blue light can make it hard to sleep.
I try to counteract that
by having a very strict sleep regimen.
Not a lot of people know this about me.
Obviously, y'all aren't in my bed.
But I'm a very very particular sleeper,
and these are amazing.
They're by MZOO?
I dunno. They're on Amazon.
But they're great because, you see,
you have a a little eye hole.
So this squishy fabric encirculates your eye perfectly.
No light is gonna get through.
And I sleep like a little baby.
[Poki snoring]
[Poki giggles]
[text beeps]
I love these so much.
For the last one to two years,
I've been a 10K steps a day fanatic.
Okay, not every day.
But I really, really like getting my steps in.
I love going on long walks.
And these are one of the only shoes
that have really, really stuck with me through that.
They are Salomons.
I always wanna call 'em Salmonmons.
[chuckles] So sorry.
But I think that's how you pronounce them.
And they're so cute.
I think they're meant for hiking.
But their whole brand has really, really,
really cool-looking shoes.
I need 'em.
Cute, stylish, and I can walk seven miles in 'em.
[smooching] Beautiful.
[Producer] Love it. [producer speaking quietly]
I'll miss you. [laughs]
[bright hip-hop music]
This, out of all the items,
is the one that is closest to my heart.
It's a pouch from Hobonichi.
They have so many amazing stationary.
I love journals, pens, markers, stickers.
I'm really, really big into journaling.
And this thing, it holds it all.
I need to bring my journals with me everywhere.
It's like, it's an addiction.
It keeps me sane, moderately.
But every single day or night, I will journal.
This one's called Brain Dump
'cause I need to transfer all the buzzing up here into paper
[chuckles] so I can sleep.
I also have, pens fit in here.
More pens fit in here.
Stickers fit in here.
Everything fits in here.
I have another journal, fits in here.
Also, the pattern just makes me happy.
Isn't it cute?
It's so cute.
[upbeat hip-hop music]
[text beeps]
This bad boy.
I know a lot of you guys probably already know what it is.
[Poki exhales]
You can get this thing to be so bright.
Like, do we need an extra light in here?
Lemme know. I got us.
And oftentimes, you can film the same content,
the same whatever, but if there's a light,
it captivates people that much more
and will make your content do much, much better.
Also, it's really good for selfies.
I recommend it.
[text beeps]
[lint roller rattling]
If you know me, you know I got two of the cutest cats
in the mothaf*ckin' world.
I love them.
However, the only thing about having cats,
although they are, I kid you not,
the best thing that's ever happened to me,
they leave hair everywhere.
And something that unfortunately really, really ruins a fit
is when it's covered in hair.
I've tried every single lint roller on the market,
especially those that are portable.
Nothing beats this one.
Look at it, okay?
You can, so it doesn't get stuck on everything
that you put it near.
You don't have to waste one wrap every single time.
And this is some of the stickiest paper I've ever had.
Some lint rollers, it's like,
what kind of tape are you using,
'cause it's getting 2 1/2 hairs?
This one, clean sweep.
Love it so much.
[text beeps]
Okay, these are two things
that I've already raved about so much.
But obviously, seeing as I'm in front of a camera a lot,
you know, my appearance, my skin,
it matters to quite the extent.
I've tried so many pimple patches.
These are the only ones, put on a pimple, and it goes,
[imitates pus squelching], okay?
It's gonna suck up that pimple.
I know that's gross,
but that's what you want out of a pimple patch.
And it's specifically, like, the invisible spot cover,
'cause I put 'em on, and I can put makeup over it,
and it doesn't show on camera.
Like, I do it all the time on stream, but no one can tell.
It's great.
And by the end of my stream, I peel 'em off,
and my pimple's outta my face. [giggles]
And these, I do have TMJ, 'cause I'll be gaming.
I'll be clenching.
[groans] I really want that kill, you know what I mean?
And this, it's called a TheraFace.
It does everything.
[rolls tongue] And so anytime I feel tense in the face,
I just give myself a little massage.
And pop it off, it has so many different attachments:
ice, hot, microcurrent, so you can like,
[imitates skin straining] snatch your face up.
I love this thing.
And it's great for travel,
so I can have, like, five devices in one.
[smooching] Both of them.
[Poki giggles]
Thanks for taking some time, watching the video,
learning more about me, the things that I love.
I hope you guys like them too.
If any of these bring value to your life,
that would make me very happy
'cause they're very, very essential to mine.
Thanks for watchin'.
