QVC’s Mally Roncal on Beyoncé, Boogers and Why Every Minute Is an 'I Choose Me' Moment

You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Garland. Welcome to I Choose Me. Okay, I am buzzing today. Such a fun friend of mine is on the show, Mally Roncal, a QVC sister, celebrity makeup artist, author, designer, and just an all-around beautiful human being. She is going to knock your socks off with her inspiration and competence building encouragement.

You will love my chat with Mally. How long have we known each other now? Because I came to the Q in 2023, but did we know each other before that?

I don't think we did. I think I thought that we did and I pretended that we did. And then I would send you emails like we did so I could get you on Over 50 and Fabulous. But then, but we didn't really. And then I was like, just kidding. We just met, but we're best friends already. We are. Okay.

I kind of love that way of meeting someone when you meet someone and they just act like they are your best friend already. Then you just wait, you know, you don't. You save all that time.

Actually getting to know each other.

You just jump right in.

Yeah, but you have that, Jenny. You have that thing. I don't know if it's just because we've all known you our whole lives, but it's also just the fact that you have this heart that's so beautiful and delicious and real that maybe the whole world just wants to think that they already knew you, even though we didn't.

Did you get your makeup done?

No, I did it myself, Mally Roncal. Do you like it?

Okay.

I did it. I tried extra hard for you today.

You killed it, girlfriend. Wait, you know what, though? I do have to say I do not think I've ever done your makeup, which I think is a little bit of an insult to me on your part.

Oh, my God. I've just never wanted to bother you and say, can you do it? You're a busy lady.

I know, but look at that face I'm looking at. Although when we come rolling into the queue sometimes, we're both just kind of like those dogs that didn't want to die.

Puffy and just asleep.

How is that for you with all your traveling? Have you figured out a good routine? I went to QVC UK for I think 18 years, I went back and forth to London every other month.

For Mally Beauty?

For Mally Beauty, yeah. And it got to the point where it was almost like autopilot, which was in a weird way, as hard as it was, it was almost comforting. Like it was like, we take this plane, we go to this place, we go, I eat this breakfast. It's like this, you know, it's a little ground huggy day, but it makes you feel like, It's okay that you're doing this crazy life.

I mean, it is very taxing, you know, physically, mentally, emotionally, all the things. Because you stop your life every couple weeks and go into a bubble, a QVC bubble, where it is the same routine and wacky hours. Yeah. And you just get off your like wellness routine.

Yes. Yes.

So it's challenging for sure.

Yes. And that's the thing you just, I guess it's those little things that you can do for yourself. I guess health wise, mental health wise, right? That will help you. Obviously you have your Dottie and your Lola and you have this like little love tribe that travels with you. I imagine that that's, Like a non-negotiable for you.

Yeah, it really is because it keeps me, you know, in my own body.

It keeps me grounded. Yeah.

You want to know.

Oh, yeah. Sorry. I'm interviewing you.

Yeah, I know. Do you want to know one of the things that I adore about you is that you wear all of your jewelry at once.

I knew that was coming. I will tell you I'm embarrassed because you have two bare fingers. embarrassing and a pinky. However, I did go extra on the necklaces and extra large earrings. You look great.

Do you ever take it all off?

I do. I take it all off every night.

Every night? How long does that take?

So the secret is I have a couple of secrets. Number one, I have a few ring piles. So little bowls at the bathroom sink that I just rip off the rings and throw them in. Like there's no like putting it away. Right, right, right. There's none of that. It's like off. The bracelets, the whole idea is you peel them off. You don't have to do, you know, clasping.

And the necklaces, the secret to the necklaces are magnets, right? So this, okay, okay. Let me show you a trick.

What? Oh my God. Okay. I imagine them all individual.

No, they're all held together by a magnet, as you can see. So we have three necklaces and they're all together by one magnet. If you're not watching this, they're all together. And then they just go like that. So three off at one time.

My mind is blown. How many do you have on right now?

Two sets of three? Well, these are all individual magnets because you can do that too. So yeah, technically two sets of three.

Where do you get the magnets? Give us a little.

I got them on Amazon.

And they are good.

And they're great. And they're strong because, you know, I'm a beast. Like I don't, when I come to hug you, it is an attack of all bodies and hair flying and All of it. So they hang on there. They're on.

Oh, my gosh. You just gave the best tip.

Thanks. Listen, I'm a non-gatekeeper girl's girl to the core. To the core. I will tell you everything. Hello, girl moms.

You have three girls.

So, yeah. I know.

Beautiful girls.

And that's the thing. Thank you. You have three. obviously beautiful daughters. And it's just the greatest thing in the world. But that's why I think God gave me daughters because I've always been that person. Like number one, okay, two things. I've always been extra, worn every bit of jewelry all at the same time every day. Like even when I was like seven, right?

Oh my God.

So I was like a little drag queen in fourth grade. I would just go to school with all my stuff. Some people found it a little off-putting, but I honestly never cared. And I think it took me to get to 50, not that I'm just kind of jumping around, but to finally realize that it is okay and I don't have to be ashamed of it. It's you.

It's Mally.

It is. And whether you like it or not, this is what we get.

Oh my gosh. You're the best about talking about the reality of I've seen this on your socials and we've talked about it in person. The haters, you know, the negative people that like to chime in for whatever reason.

Yeah.

Because you have them, but you talk about them. You say enough people. And you also talk about ways to like not let it affect us. Yeah. How do you do that?

So look, it's impossible to, to be immune, you know, at a certain point, sure, it hurts to have someone who especially doesn't know you, right, say things about you. I just saw a fabulous quote from our one and only Dolly Parton. There are people who don't like me or people who don't, you know, like I guess you would just call them haters. And does it bother me?

It doesn't bother me with the people who don't know me. That's the thing. If you know me and there's something that that bothers me. But for people who don't know who I really am, who don't know my heart and think it doesn't bother me at all. And here's the thing about you don't have to be on. This is the sad part of the world. You don't have to be on TV. You don't have to be, you know, out there or whatever. Everybody's got a hater. And that's I started to notice now, like it could be, you know. Paulina, who works at the grocery store, for whatever reason, she just does not know you. She does not like you.

When you come in, she's going to roll her eyes. She's going to be like, oh, here she comes again. Because they see something in you that for whatever reason they're missing and they don't understand it. And they don't understand it. And so for those people, yes, it can be hurtful at times. But I'm really over that now. Honestly, I don't. I do not care. If anything, I kind of giggle a little bit because they say just such awful things. And sometimes they're quite creative. And I'm kind of like, okay, that was a good one. But it's because for whatever reason, they're hurting. And We all know hurt people hurt people. And, you know, so I just pray for them because that's all I can really.

That's all you can do. Your mission has always been to help women feel confident.

Yeah.

Right. And just uplift them. What's the biggest thing in your mind that is holding women back from believing in themselves or loving themselves?

I think actually there's a few things. Um, I think that this is not really answering your question.

Sorry.

But I think the number one thing that stops women from stepping into their own power, which will then help them believe in themselves and live their best life, is that fear of what are people going to say? You know, that's why, again, I love every year, every day I get older, I give less Fs about what somebody thinks.

Isn't that the best? Yeah.

I love it so much.

It's hard to get there, but it's weird. Like when you turn 50, all of a sudden that starts happening naturally. Yeah.

It's almost like God's little gift. He's like, I'm going to sag your boobs, but I'm going to give you so much confidence. I'm going to give you so much confidence.

I think maybe we have to have more confidence just to kind of balance the drooping aspect. That gravity is having with us.

Oh, I'm confident. Yes. But it's true, right? I think that is what it is, is we just have earned that. And I think when we stop worrying so much about what people think and then realizing too that they're really not looking at us. They're looking, they've got their own things that they're worried about. I think that's what... doesn't really allow women to feel as powerful and as strong.

And that's another thing. I think we also spend our whole lives, for the most part, being people pleasers and servers, right? Like you're taking care of your significant other, your best friend, your kids.

It's unfortunately just like a societal normal.

Correct.

No matter what, that's kind of ingrained in us as women.

Yeah. Yeah. It's like that's what you're put on this earth to do and put yourself not even second or third, but like all the way at the end of the list.

That's right.

And I think that that's what as we get older and we realize that we have less summers, as we say, than we had. before, which when I even say that, I start to get tears in my eyes because I just, I don't, there's so much more I want to do. And there's so much more I want to see. And I want to, you know, and Bill's, you know, 10 years older than I am. And there's all of that other stuff, which again, just kind of starts to like make me feel. But that's also the other thing that makes me say yes to everything and be a maniac about living life.

You are a maniac about living life. I love that about you.

It's very true. I do. I think that that's something that, you know, not to, you know, I always talk about my mom because she was an inspiration to me and the fact that she, well, because she was sick with cancer my entire life from one to 17, and technically she was supposed to pass away before I even turned one or right after I turned one. And she lived all those years. She was the inspiration of, yes, let's do it now. Yes, let's not wait because we don't have much time. We don't know how much time we have.

That's how you grew up.

Yeah.

Which was a blessing and a curse.

Why is it a curse?

Because there's always a little bit of fear attached to that adventure. You know, like, was this going to be the last vacation? Was this going to be the last shopping spree? Was this going to be the last, you know, drive through the country to look at the trees and the leaves? You know, there was always that feeling. So.

You know, I've realized, too, now getting older and my dad's a psychiatrist. So we're always he's always analyzing me, which is.

Oh, I love that.

I know. So it's great. But it's because of the fact that, you know, I was never I never knew what the last day was going to be. So I had to make sure that she was happy all the time. which then led to the people pleasing.

Oh, it's a cycle. I see. Okay.

Yes.

Do you feel like, because with your three girls, do you feel like you've been able to change that sort of that fear-based thinking for them with them?

Yes and no. I definitely have, you know, I don't know if you see on the Instagram. That Instagram.

That's what we call it.

The Facebook, the Instagram. I don't know. Those funny videos like where the mom is like. don't go there. You'll be raped. Or, you know, like if you walk into that store or whatever, they're going to drop a roofie in your Coca-Cola. And then, you know, you know, that is definitely me. Yeah. And that's, I know it's, it's so, it is not good because they're, you know, but, but luckily I will on the other side, I always say like, But live your life and have adventures.

Yeah. I mean, that's like the ultimate when the kids getting out of the car at school drop off. You're like, make smart choices. But I'm the same kind of parent.

Are you?

Here's the thing. I've been told I've poisoned the well by giving them fears that they don't need to have. But personally, I feel like they need to be in this world with their eyes wide open. And they need to know how to protect themselves and see things all around them.

Yes. Yes. A thousand percent. I mean, our world, not to be a total Debbie Downer, but our world has really, like, in a weird way, it's just opened doors to all kinds of new and exciting crimes that Like, oh, you know, you hear about things and you're like, wow, I never really thought about that. But then in the same breath, some psycho might be out there going, hey, I never really thought about that. And all of a sudden now we're just feeding this. So it is hard. You know, I think what I've done for them is I've at least to your point, like you say, you've opened up their eyes. Maybe we call it a little poison the well, but also. I think in a funny way, they want to prove to me that, yes, the world is a

little crazy, but I'm also going to be smart. You know what I mean?

I'm equipped.

Yes. Yes. So I'm hoping that that's the way it works. Because I don't know about you. Well, you had a little bit of a different, you know, life growing up the way, you know, your life. But I was fearless. I was like out there. And, well, you know, nothing's going to happen to me kind of a thing.

Yeah. I think that's what we all think. Until something happens, unfortunately.

Exactly. Exactly.

You, okay, I'm going to tell our listeners, you've worked with some of the most iconic women in the world, and I'm just going to name drop a few for you. Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Okay. That's an experience that regular old people don't get to have, you know, being even in the room with these kind of superstars. What have they taught you about confidence and how has that surprised you?

First of all, yes, I have had the most blessed and incredible career ever. And being able to, yes, not only be in the room, but to be physically, you know, you've had your makeup done 10 billion times. When someone's doing your face, you're literally inches away from someone else's eyeballs.

And you're seeing them in a way that no one sees them. That close up.

That close up. Yeah. Flaws and all, usually at the butt crack of dawn or they've even had a minute to, you know, to organize their thoughts.

Right.

And I've always found it such a privilege to be able to be in somebody's space like that. whether they were a superstar or not, just to be able to share that kind of love and space with another human being. I don't ever take that for granted, not even for one minute, because gosh, what a gift that is. But to your point, to be in that space with a person who is either, has already either conquered the world and what they do, but then also even just starting to conquer the world and what they do. When I met Beyonce, she was maybe just 20, which crazy to me right now yeah and already had you know destiny's child or whatever but was about to embark on this beyonce like the world takeover basically and what i've learned

is you know to sound corny stars they're just like us.

I love that though because it's so true but it is true i mean we're humans hello yes you're all dealing with the same things.

Correct And that's the thing, you know, it's like, I'm sure when people meet you, Jenny, they're like, oh, you're Jenny Garth or whatever. And you're like, I cried in my coffee this morning, just so you know. Okay. Yeah. And that's the thing. And everybody has insecurities. Everybody has worries and fears that they're not really sure how they're going to navigate around. Everybody has boogers. Okay. Yeah. And I can tell you right now, I've picked the best of them.

Oh, my God. I love it. Now, I'm going to look at you so differently now. Every time I see you, I'm actually going to be like, can you check my boogers?

Oh, honey, I'll get up in there. I love nothing more than any kind of pulling out any kind of thing. I have no gag reflex left. I'm like, oh, what is that? Let's get it out.

I love that. I love that so much. We say at QVC that our 50s are the age of possibility and that they're fabulous. Yes. What does that mean? Wait, hold on. Ooh, there it is. Over 50 and fabulous people.

That's right.

Look at that.

That was the over 50 and fabulous fan. That was not a toot.

That is you whipping open your fan as you're known to do.

Yes. Yes. Thank you. Yeah.

Yeah.

And how do you feel about that, Jenny Garth? Do you think that's true?

Yes, 100%. I mean, I've talked about it before. When I started working with the women at QVC, my life opened up just to this big, vast community of supportive, encouraging, kind, and loving women that I had never experienced until I was 50. And I was nervous.

Yes.

I was like, are these people for real?

Were you nervous?

Did they drink some sort of Kool-Aid around here that makes everybody nice and positive and want success for everyone? Yeah, yeah.

But it's true. Yeah, it's weird. You think about QVC as a whole, and it is really a very, very strange place. That you take technically a bunch of people that are all, I mean, for all intents and purposes, competitors.

Right. Well, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, you know, everyone's kind of vying for that dollar or whatever, right? Or that make that sale.

Or that like time slot.

Correct.

Right.

And QVC puts them all in basically one room together and like just goes. Okay, have at it.

Yeah, figure it out.

Figure it out. But this is the thing that I think that is so interesting and why we have such an amazing connection. And I don't know how this will resonate with someone listening and saying, well, what does that mean for me? But I do think that people who experience the same thing, meaning like have the same job or go through the same journey together, have a bond that no one else can really understand. It's like nobody gets what it's like, Jenny, for you or me or Alina or Kim Gravel. You're standing there waiting to go on live TV. To present something that you maybe have never presented before, right? And there's people running around, and you've got a thing in your ear, and somebody's talking

to you, and they're telling you what's happening next, and they're telling you where you need to stand. And you're looking at one monitor, which is live, and then you're looking at another monitor, which is what's coming up. So you have to be prepared to talk about that.

It is a skill set. Right? Yeah.

Yeah.

And you are a master at it.

Well... Thank you. I don't know if that's the ADD or the fact that I have been doing it for 22 years, which just is weird to me to think that that's been what I've done. And also I love it so much. I really, really, really love it. And I love the community aspect of it, right? Like having that eight minutes to stand there or one hour or whatever you have. And you have the floor. Like, what are you going to do with it? You know, are you going to share positivity and joy and love and lift each other up? Or are you going to? It makes me so mad when I see people at QVC that show up and they don't take that time Do you know what I mean? Like, they don't use it. Like, that's a free moment to make somebody feel amazing or

educate somebody on something. Like, don't waste it.

No, because our customers, our family members are wanting connection. Yes. And I think that they get that through, you know, really getting to know the hosts and also the vendors. that have been there for years.

What you have to tell everybody, what's the difference between a host and a vendor?

A host is a person that facilitates the selling of something. They host the hour. They're like the master of ceremonies.

Correct.

And then the vendor is somebody who brings something in to show on QVC, sell on QVC. Did I do a good job?

You're perfect. You're perfect. That's exactly right. And it's two totally different jobs. And it's two completely different. Again, it makes me so mad when people poo poo QVC and they're just like, oh, whatever. Shopping on television. That's so funny. Or like, you know, look, I don't mind the SNL stuff.

I don't mind any of I think it's hilarious. Like, if anything, I think it's great because it just brings more awareness to what we do. But when people say it's easy, that's when I get.

Who says that?

Oh, there's people that are like, how hard can it be? You're just standing there talking about products, you know, whatever. And again, they don't realize that there's a hundred other things happening and you're spinning this plate over here and you're spinning that plate over there. And then you're getting back and you and you look great while doing it, too. Because, again, if you got a booger, someone's going to see it.

You got to make sure that everything's put where it needs to be. And I think that that to me, that's what makes me mad. And I will say, I did have a friend who said that QVC is the Olympics of live TV. And it absolutely is.

It really is. That's so true.

Yeah.

It's a marathon.

It is a marathon.

It's not a sprint.

No, it's not. And add that at 2 a.m. and baby, you're really.

I mean, it's a wild world that we work in.

Have you ever had a moment where you're like, I'm going to pass out or something?

No, I think once you get into your time, once you're live, there's something that kind of takes over and you feel that more and more as I do it. I feel that connection with the people that are watching. Yeah. And that makes me feel good.

And you bring such a special energy, a little angelic dear. Like when I watch you, I always like, I feel like my head goes this way. Like you just want to do that when I'm watching you.

I think that's a good thing.

It's a great thing. It's a great thing. And that's what I also love about what QVC has done about bringing the kinds of, everybody's got their own.

Brand, their own identity, their own personality.

You know, and I think there's something for everybody, which I think that that's such a gift and why they're so smart.

Well, you bring like just the ray of sunshine, all the rays of the sunshine. You get everybody up and going and involved and happy. You've been called a positivity preacher.

Yeah.

What is that?

Well, I made it up.

Of course you did.

One day I was driving in the car and, you know, something had happened. I don't know why. God always puts me, puts my eyeballs in a place sometimes to see like injustice and things where people are just not being nice to each other. And then I get scared because something takes over my body and then I have to say something. And, um, like even just the other day I was at the store and there was this woman and you know, you could see him coming. Like she was standing in line and she was like, like phase the face was already mad and she had the products in her hands and she wanted to go exchange something and she came trudging up to that cashier and she slammed her things down and this poor woman had did not know what was

coming and in my mind i thought oh dear lord jesus please hold me back because i'm gonna say because i already knew it was coming and she was just like I want to return this and I used points and I'm going to buy this and I'm going to use the points and you're going to do it. And it was just no hello. It was no how are you.

It was none of this like normal common decency that for a reason we don't have anymore. Right. We bark at each other. Yeah. And I'm standing there, and I feel my armpits start to sweat. And I'm like, oh, my God. I can't take it. What did you do?

Did you do anything? Yeah.

So the lady behind the counter who was doing the thing, and she was like our age. Like maybe, I don't know, maybe like even a little older. I could see her hands started shaking. And I was, oh, no. This woman is real. And I'm sorry. This is a long story. But anyway, I'll get cut to the chase. She was like, call your manager, call your manager, like screaming in her face. Well, anyway, the manager comes. The manager is like, you know, 22.

And she's like, whatever, I'll just get it done with her. And I said, I'm so sorry. Excuse me. And she was like, what do you want? Like looked at me and I was like, oh, you're going to come for me now. And I just said to her, I said, listen, I don't know what you're going through.

I don't know.

Obviously, for you to show up with this kind of energy, there's something going on in your life. But I just want to say that the way you spoke to her, with all respect, was so unnecessary. I said, listen, we all love you. We're here.

We love you.

We all... you need to act with more empathy. You need to act with more love because that's what we want to do for you. Wait, what did she say?

How does she react to that?

She said, you shut up. She did.

I mean, I was getting sweaty armpits just hearing you tell that story of you talking to her.

I know.

Because we always want to say something or like, you know, fix the injustice. But You look at the big picture and you're like, ooh, that's going to get too messy. I want to know, how did she take it?

Well, she said, I didn't ask you. I said, fair. I said, however, you are in our orbit. And I said, and no one is angry at you, but I just feel like maybe you should take this experience that you had and just maybe see what you can do on the other side of it to like maybe, you know. If you don't want to apologize to her, maybe do something right.

Okay, so being a positivity preacher is, you have to be very brave. I see that.

And then, listen, you know, being a positivity preacher is, and also not being positive and happy all the time.

Or toxic positivity.

Yes.

Like unrealistic. Yes. I hate that.

It is not that. I hate that too. Because to me, that's actually spreading false news.

Truth.

Yeah.

And making everybody feel bad. Right. Because nobody is positive all the time.

No.

You can't be. You can choose.

There might be some people, but they're far between.

Yeah. And like, yes. But I mean, but I do try to, and I know you feel this also, try to choose joy when I can in these moments. You know, I try to choose... gratitude and moments that maybe you're not so thankful for. And it's, you know, it's a muscle. It's like everything else. Just like though, Jenny, just like though the people that you know them that are like, everything is wrong, right? Like everything is wrong and you can find the, oh, it's hot in here. This coffee is just, why is it like, you know those people.

I run from those people, girl.

Sometimes though, I'm like that. And I'll catch myself and I'll be like, whoa, we are complaining about everything right now. That's when you have to return to gratitude.

Correct. And I have a fix for that. And it just works so great in the universe because Before you want to say something that is technically a complaint, you can go, not complaining, just explaining. And then you say, oh, okay, so you're not complaining.

I like that, though. It makes it feel a little better.

It does make it feel a little better.

Okay, so if someone looks in the mirror today and doesn't like what they see, what would you tell them?

Well, obviously, I would tell them that they're beautiful already. Okay. And then I would tell them, that's great because we have something for you. And it just depends. I mean, obviously, for me, the whole reason I went to QVC in the first place 22 years ago was because we didn't have these. Cell phones.

Smart phones.

Yeah, I held up my phone. We didn't have YouTube. We didn't have Instagram, TikTok, none of that. The only way for me to teach you how to make you look like you've had eight hours of sleep, how to get that perfect smoky eye, how to make your lips look bigger, how to contour your cheekbones, it all had to be on television. And that's why I was so excited and honored and so passionate about selling Mally Beauty on QVC.

Mm-hmm.

It's education. You know, it's not really necessarily about how you look, right? It's about how you feel. But how you feel can affect the way you look. How you look can affect the way you feel.

And vice versa.

Right. Exactly.

If you're sad and going through, you know, grief and all that, it really does physically appear.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

External. Absolutely. So just like you would say, oh, I want to really learn how to make chicken cacciatore, which I don't even know what that is. But is it like tomato? I don't know. Anyway, you would go to a chef and say, how do I make this? You would come to me and say. I think I don't like the way my eyes are getting more hooded as I'm getting older. I think that's what I don't want.

And I would say, OK, let's do this and let's try that. That's something I love to do more than anything in the world. And then teaching you how to fish so that you can do that every day. That's my that's always my goal.

What do you mean fish?

Well, you know, what is that term? Like you can't fish for them. You teach, you don't get them the fish. You teach them how to fish and then they can eat forever. Yeah.

Oh my God. You are the best.

I want to know what's next for you because I know you had huge success.

With Mally Beauty, but you've, Stepped away from that. And now you're opening up to doing other areas, other collections, other divisions. What's going on?

Everything.

You are on fuego, lady.

Thank you. Listen, I, I, okay. So here's another thing that I love about being a woman and also don't love about being a woman. is people love to put you in a box, right? Jenny Garth is an actor and that's it. That's what she does. She's not an author. She's not a life speaker. She's not a fashion designer.

She's not a home designer. She can't be all those things. And a mom and a wife too, or a daughter and a friend.

No, no, no, no.

You can't be all those things. Bullshit. Yeah. can be anything and we can but when you're a makeup artist and in beauty for as long as I have been I definitely got categorized in that world and while that is such a huge part of who I am and what I love I also love a hundred other things you know I love jewelry I love clothing I love home I love handbags so guess what let's do all of it you know and the real important thing about first of all QVC giving me the opportunity to do that.

Oh my gosh. Like, and aside from that being QVC's number one hype girl and cheerleader and screamer from the rooftops, right? Because I love what QVC represents, which is community, right? The first OG kind of community. So I'm so grateful that I get to try all that. And the thing about the Mally Roncal brand, I guess, which was always with beauty, it was always... about, you know, being your best self, not being afraid to step forward. And that's what, you know, the clothing, the home, the bags, the jewelry, all of that is also, it's like kind of being okay with being a little extra, you know.

If that's you. Just being comfortable in your own skin.

Yeah. Right?

No matter what.

And that's what I think my message mostly to the world I wanted to be is just be extra. If not every day, sometimes. Sometimes. Does Jenny Garth ever want to be like a little extra? Like you're extra in your own way, just so you know. Yeah. You're like soft and sweet and beautiful and all that. But you have a little extra fierceness in you. I see it.

You do.

I feel it for sure. But I never had tapped into it until I got older.

And that's why I love QVC too, because we're giving them permission to say, look, we can all do this together.

Right. I can take chances in my life too. Yeah.

Risks. Risks. What is life without risks? How many summers do we have left?

I was just talking about that with someone about when you look at life and you realize when you have a kid, especially, you realize as an infant, you have one summer. And then as a toddler, you have three or four summers. Oh, God. Five summers. And then- as a, you know, teen, a young teen and the teenage years, you have that many summers and you, it just kind of puts things in perspective as to how fast life moves.

It's, it's, it's, it's so, it's almost scary. And that's why I, I just encourage everybody who's listening to just not waste a moment, you know, because you don't know.

You don't know. You don't know what you don't know. Okay. I want to wrap this up on a quote that I pulled from your Instagram.

Okay.

That is so beautiful. As women, we are like diamonds full of different facets, each one shining in its own way. So don't be afraid to explore all the sides of your diamond, my loves. You're never done dreaming. You are just such a ray of light and goodness and kindness. And I know you, so I know that it's not toxic because you're also a real human being. And that's one of the things that I love the most about you.

Thank you just for being you, first of all, and sharing your story with me and everyone. You can find Mally on QVC, pretty much everywhere on QVC. And also, be sure to follow her on Instagram because... You give out the most beautiful, positive messages like the one I just read. So you will be very happy if you follow her. Trust me. Before I let you go though, Mally Roncal, what was your last I choose me moment?

I wanted to say every minute is an I choose me moment. Like making a cup of coffee right before I came on with you. I was standing in front of this coffee machine and it was percolating and I was dancing because I was like, I'm making coffee. I'm going to talk to my buddy. We're going to have fun and we're going to laugh. And I looked and Kashi was looking at me and her tail was wagging.

And I was like, man, I have the best life. And I'm just so incredibly happy. blessed and honored and that I get to know you and I get to talk to you and I get to call you my friend.

Ditto lady. Thank you. I love you.

Love you more.
