Get Ready for the Tour

I try to live in the moment. If I think about all the shows coming up, it’s very daunting. People look at my schedule and they’re like, “Holy Toledo. How are you going to do that?” I don’t think that way. It’s show by show. My first show is in Charleston, and I’ve never been there. I’m really looking forward to discovering Charleston and connecting with the fans there. Every show is unique. I always say there could be 100 people in the room or a thousand, but it’s the same show.

When you’re on the road, how do you make sure you rest and get settled in at the hotel?

Listen, I am a big yoga fanatic and meditation. Meditation, for me, is a way of keeping myself grounded and centered and keeping peace of mind. And, of course, I have to sleep. It’s so important. A lot of people don’t realize how important sleep is! The secret for me is a lot of rest and exercise. I bring gym things with me to the hotel to work out. I actually rehearse on the treadmill!

I get a lot of products. Peter Thomas Roth has been sending some things, and I’ve been using those. I do like to switch it up because I feel like with hair products and skincare, you need to change because your hair and skin get used to it. It’s like eating the same food every day. You get tired of it. So does your hair and skin. The most important thing I use is a good scrub to get off the dead skin. It’s so important, because if you don’t scrub your skin twice a week, it’s hard for the products to absorb, so it doesn’t really matter what you’re putting on your face.

I love Neutrogena’s makeup remover. Burt’s Bees makes very nice micellar water wipes. I take off my makeup with Neutrogena, then I use the micellar wipes. I’ve grown very fond of Burt’s Bees. Let’s see, what else? Lisa Rinna has her eye patches now and I use her products. Makeup-wise, my favorite products are from Benefit to Chanel—I use their powders. I love that Armani foundation—it is so smooth and silky. I love that, and then I set it with Chanel powder. I use Stila eyeliner, Smashbox lip products, Urban Decay for eyeshadows.

You probably know all the great places for facials and massages in New York. Do you have any top ones that you can share?

I used to have a guy who would come to the house and he moved. I need a good place to go. Maybe you can tell me that! There is a company called RingMyBelle that comes to your house for different things and they are great. They are also located in different cities. When I’m in a panic, I call RingMyBelle, and they do a great job of getting me made up and ready to go. For example, I just called them to help me get ready for The Hamptons Film Festival.
