00:00 Hi guys, my name's Iman, I also go by Poki,
00:03 and these are my essentials.
00:05 Like I actually can't live without these.
00:07 If you take them away, I'll go pharaoh.
00:09 (upbeat music)
00:11 Don't give me too many, I will eat them all.
00:20 These are my guilty pleasure,
00:22 like so much so that I ask them to bring them to me
00:25 'cause I try not to keep too many in my house,
00:27 I will devour them.
00:29 I've always really liked flaming hot Cheetos,
00:33 in particular, not the big ones.
00:35 I want them flaming, like it hurts so good kinda spicy.
00:40 I have some.
00:41 Oh, also the only downside is obviously
00:45 your fingers can get a little dusty,
00:48 but what I see a lot of my friends do
00:51 is they'll just use chopsticks, no dusty fingers.
00:53 It's amazing.
00:58 This, this is called an Octobuddy,
01:00 it's like $8 on Amazon.
01:02 This thing sticks to almost everything, like.
01:04 It's so useful.
01:07 You wanna film something, you didn't bring a tripod
01:10 because who brings around a tripod this big?
01:13 And I like my purses small, you know?
01:15 No tripod fits in a small purse.
01:17 So this is basically like a tripod.
01:19 If I'm getting ready or I'm doing my skincare,
01:22 or if I'm in the shower, I'll just stick it on the wall.
01:26 So if you wanna film like a little get ready with me,
01:28 you could literally take this,
01:30 stick it to the mirror and film.
01:35 You're good to go.
01:36 Hey GQ.
01:37 I used a laptop to start streaming very, very early days.
01:45 And then I had to save up for a $300 secondhand
01:50 custom built PC.
01:51 And that was my first jump in my equipment for streaming.
01:55 Since then, especially as it becomes your job,
01:57 you know, you really, really wanna optimize
01:59 every little thing, your audio, your setup.
02:01 I now have a two PC setup, three monitors,
02:04 two mics, two keyboards, two mice.
02:07 I have so much going on.
02:09 And this was the big camera upgrade that I used.
02:12 And since then, I just haven't looked back.
02:14 Love it.
02:15 When you stream, you wanna have a high def camera,
02:18 but you don't want it to be like too high def.
02:21 Like I don't want people out there to be able to count
02:23 every single pore I have on my skin.
02:25 And a lot of high def cameras are like that.
02:27 You need one that has a nice, healthy little blur.
02:31 The one thing that maybe a lot of people
02:33 wouldn't guess about me, 'cause I do game a lot,
02:35 I don't like to stay up late.
02:36 I really don't.
02:37 I feel like I spend so much time in front of a screen.
02:40 A lot of blue light can make it hard to sleep.
02:42 I try to counteract that by having
02:44 a very strict sleep regimen.
02:46 Not a lot of people know this about me.
02:48 Obviously, y'all aren't in my bed.
02:50 But I'm a very, very particular sleeper.
02:52 And these are amazing.
02:54 They're by Emzoo.
02:55 I don't know, they're on Amazon.
02:57 But they're great because you see,
02:58 you have a little eye hole.
03:00 So this squishy fabric encirculates your eye perfectly.
03:04 No light is gonna get through.
03:06 And I sleep like a little baby.
03:07 (snoring)
03:10 I love these so much.
03:13 For the last one to two years,
03:15 I've been a 10K steps a day fanatic.
03:19 Okay, not every day.
03:20 But I really, really like getting my steps in.
03:22 I love going on long walks.
03:23 And these are one of the only shoes
03:25 that have really, really stuck with me through that.
03:28 They are Salamons.
03:30 I always wanna call 'em Salmonmons.
03:33 So sorry.
03:34 But I think that's how you pronounce them.
03:35 And they're so cute.
03:36 I think they're meant for hiking.
03:38 But their whole brand has really, really,
03:40 really cool looking shoes.
03:42 I need 'em.
03:43 Cute, stylish, and I can walk seven miles in 'em.
03:47 Beautiful.
03:48 I'll miss you.
03:52 This, out of all the items,
03:54 is the one that is closest to my heart.
03:56 It's a pouch from Habanichi.
04:00 They have so many amazing stationery.
04:03 I love journals, pens, markers, stickers.
04:08 I'm really, really big into journaling.
04:10 And this thing, it holds it all.
04:12 I need to bring my journals with me everywhere.
04:14 It's like, it's an addiction.
04:16 It keeps me sane, moderately.
04:18 But every single day or night, I will journal.
04:21 This one's called Brain Dump,
04:22 'cause I need to transfer all the buzzing up here
04:26 into paper so I can sleep.
04:28 I also have pens fit in here.
04:32 More pens fit in here.
04:33 Stickers fit in here.
04:35 Everything fits in here.
04:37 I have another journal, fits in here.
04:38 Also, the pattern just makes me happy.
04:40 Isn't it cute?
04:41 It's so cute.
04:42 This bad boy.
04:48 I know a lot of you guys probably already know what it is.
04:50 You can get this thing to be so bright.
04:52 Do we need an extra light in here?
04:54 Let me know, I got us.
04:55 And oftentimes, you can film the same content,
04:58 the same whatever, but if there's a light,
05:00 it captivates people that much more
05:03 and will make your content do much, much better.
05:05 Also, it's really good for selfies.
05:07 I recommend it.
05:08 If you know me, you know I got two of the cutest cats
05:15 in the motherfucking world.
05:17 I love them.
05:17 However, the only thing about having cats,
05:21 although they are, I kid you not,
05:22 the best thing that's ever happened to me,
05:24 they leave hair everywhere.
05:27 And something that unfortunately really, really ruins a fit
05:31 is when it's covered in hair.
05:33 I've tried every single lint roller on the market,
05:36 especially those that are portable.
05:38 Nothing beats this one.
05:40 Look at this.
05:41 Okay, you can, so it doesn't get stuck
05:44 on everything that you put it near.
05:47 You don't have to waste one wrap every single time.
05:50 And this is some of the stickiest paper I've ever had.
05:53 Some lint rollers, it's like,
05:56 what kind of tape are you using?
05:57 'Cause it's getting two and a half hairs.
05:59 This one, clean sweep.
06:01 Love it so much.
06:02 Okay, these are two things
06:06 that I've already raved about so much.
06:08 But obviously seeing as I'm in front of a camera a lot,
06:11 you know, my appearance, my skin,
06:13 it matters to quite the extent.
06:15 I've tried so many pimple patches.
06:17 These are the only ones,
06:18 put on a pimple and it goes.
06:20 Okay, it's gonna suck up that pimple.
06:22 I know that's gross,
06:23 but that's what you want out of a pimple patch.
06:24 And it's this specifically like the invisible spot cover,
06:28 'cause I put them on and I can put makeup over it
06:31 and it doesn't show on camera.
06:32 Like I do it all the time on stream,
06:34 but no one can tell.
06:36 It's great.
06:37 And by the end of my stream,
06:38 I peel them off and my pimples out of my face.
06:41 And these, I do have TMJ,
06:43 'cause I'll be gaming, I'll be clenching.
06:45 I don't really want that kill, you know what I mean?
06:47 And this, it's called the TheraFace.
06:49 It does everything.
06:51 And so anytime I feel tense in the face,
06:53 I just give myself a little massage and pop it off.
06:57 It has so many different attachments,
06:59 ice, hot, microcurrent,
07:01 so you can like snatch your face up.
07:03 I love this thing.
07:04 And it's great for travel.
07:05 So I can have like five devices in one.
07:08 Both of them.
07:10 Thanks for taking some time,
07:12 watching the video, learning more about me,
07:14 the things that I love.
07:15 I hope you guys liked them too.
07:16 If any of these bring value to your life,
07:18 that would make me very happy
07:19 'cause they're very, very essential to mine.
07:22 Thanks for watching.
