00:00 Carrots are always on my rider.
00:01 If there aren't carrots, I won't be there.
00:04 [upbeat music]
00:06 - Hi GQ, it's Millie Willoughby Brown
00:08 and these are my essentials.
00:10 This is Winnie the Pooh.
00:19 She is my emotional support animal.
00:21 She is the most precious, loving,
00:25 sweet, intuitive, intelligent.
00:29 I could keep going, you want me to keep going?
00:31 She is just like my best friend.
00:33 She's also my child.
00:35 Like I know I will love my child the same as I love her.
00:37 I know that 'cause she's giving child.
00:39 When I started season four of "Stranger Things"
00:43 I got her right before COVID
00:45 and we've been best friends ever since.
00:47 She knows like when I'm fake crying
00:49 and when I'm real crying.
00:51 She knows when I'm working and not to bark.
00:53 She just feels more comfortable around me
00:54 and I feel way more comfortable around her too.
00:57 I have Barbie, Max, Marley.
00:59 I have Agnes, Jimmy, Tootsie, Dorothy, Scarlet,
01:04 four cats, Coco, Elsa, El Gray and Rico.
01:08 And that's all the dogs and animals in my house.
01:11 She rules all over them.
01:13 Like all of them listen to her because she emits power.
01:16 It was too early for her this morning
01:18 so she's very tired right now.
01:20 I love carrots.
01:24 Carrots are my favorite.
01:25 I think about carrots all the time.
01:27 I have outfits dedicated to just carrots.
01:29 Don't even need them with a good dipping sauce.
01:31 I'll just eat straight up carrots.
01:34 I actually saw a meme of me eating a carrot
01:37 and then somebody relating me to Wallace and Gromit.
01:40 So I'm not gonna pick up any carrots
01:43 'cause I don't want that meme to carry on.
01:45 Baby carrots are my favorite and these look so good.
01:48 They're never out of season.
01:49 They're always delicious, crunchy, sweet.
01:52 Sometimes they give me indigestion
01:54 but if I keep eating them, it goes away.
01:56 I don't like shredded carrots.
01:58 I just think they're stale.
01:59 I never like these carrots, they're too watery.
02:01 These carrots are amazing.
02:03 Baby carrots are great.
02:04 I hate colored carrots, absolutely no.
02:06 These carrots are delicious but again, Wallace and Gromit.
02:09 I know it may seem, well first of all actually,
02:13 they're on right now.
02:16 Fluffy socks are important
02:17 and I really highly suggest everyone get yourself
02:19 a nice pair of fluffy socks.
02:21 I wear these on the plane
02:23 because my tootsies always get cold on planes.
02:26 I like to sleep in them.
02:28 I like to go to work in them.
02:30 I actually, when I'm meant to put on my character's socks,
02:33 I never do, I put these on instead and they never notice.
02:35 I love fluffy socks and if I can get away with it, I will.
02:39 My nan said if your feet are cold, your kidneys are cold
02:43 and she liked robes that went down to your ankles
02:46 because it would protect your kidneys.
02:47 She had a whole kidney thing but it's fine.
02:48 Okay, here we go.
02:49 Wired headphones, I'm quirky.
02:54 I hate wireless headphones.
02:56 You know I've lost like four pairs.
02:57 I just cannot keep tabs on them.
02:59 These are great.
03:00 They're easy to spot, they're wired.
03:02 I just like the look of it too, like this.
03:04 I can't talk right now.
03:07 This can be the thumbnail.
03:10 Also, when I'm on set and I have to do a crying scene,
03:13 I have to listen to sad music.
03:15 This helps me a lot and also if I'm at like a party
03:19 and there's bad music, screw you guys.
03:23 I'm gonna be listening to Taylor in my ears.
03:24 - What do you listen to to make yourself cry?
03:27 - When It's Cold I'd Like to Die by Moby
03:30 and that is literally Eleven's theme tune.
03:33 Such a good song, you should listen to it
03:35 and it is very depressing but it always makes me cry.
03:38 Okay, so this is another essential of mine,
03:43 my contact lenses.
03:45 I know it may sound lame but I'm gonna be
03:46 a relatable queen right now and I'm gonna tell you,
03:50 I can't see.
03:52 I am negative two on my left.
03:54 If anyone's gonna get me this as a present for my birthday.
03:56 Negative two on my left and negative 1.75 on my right.
04:01 I love putting my contacts in in the morning
04:03 but if I'm doing a crying scene,
04:05 one day it just fell out of my eyes.
04:06 So I was like, okay, so I have to take them out
04:08 when I have to do a crying scene
04:09 and then I have to always carry an extra pair
04:10 to put back in.
04:11 I'll actually get in a bad mood
04:12 if I don't have my contacts in.
04:14 It like puts, it sets me back years.
04:16 Okay, so kombucha is a probiotic drink
04:23 with living organisms at the bottom of the drink.
04:26 Your girl has had many antibiotics in her life.
04:28 Your girl's gotten down with the flu quite a few times.
04:30 So this is really good for your gut.
04:34 It helps strengthen your stomach lining.
04:37 I mean, it is amazing.
04:38 I love it.
04:39 Now, I like Pink Lady Apple.
04:40 It's like my favorite flavor
04:42 but I do like berry lemonade if you were to get me it.
04:44 I also like gingerade.
04:45 But gingerade is like, if I'm like immune system, help.
04:48 But like this is like, every day I drink this.
04:51 They do expire, so check your date.
04:53 All of these are in my house.
04:55 I drink one every single day.
04:56 And when it's kombucha time,
04:58 that's like wine o'clock for some people.
05:00 I used to do apple cider vinegar in the morning
05:02 and it does smell like apple cider.
05:03 Have you smelt it?
05:04 Like this smells like apple cider vinegar.
05:06 But it just tastes so freaking good.
05:08 My godfather, Matthew Modine,
05:10 has a shot of apple cider vinegar every day
05:12 and I'm just like, I can't get on board with that.
05:15 Also, just look at how, look at the bottle.
05:17 That's not a cool looking bottle.
05:20 And I take off the sticker
05:22 and then I refill it with water and put it in my fridge.
05:23 Like, sustainable.
05:25 (upbeat music)
05:28 Most of the day I have my hair down,
05:30 but if I'm ever needing to focus or work with my dogs
05:33 or go to work in general,
05:35 these are my go-to to keep my hair back.
05:37 I'm the founder of a beauty and skincare company
05:40 and we actually just recently gone into fashion.
05:43 But these were really exciting
05:44 'cause we had a haircare collection
05:47 where we did hair masks, claw clips,
05:48 and a comb, and a detangler spray.
05:51 So haircare was really exciting for me
05:53 because I love my hair and I love taking care of it.
05:56 And so these are really cool.
05:58 Wildly Me is my perfume.
06:02 Oh, you guys got the big size.
06:04 Okay, bougie, let's go.
06:06 And then this is the travel size.
06:08 Wildly Me is probably the best smelling thing ever.
06:11 And I always have it on me.
06:12 Only since I've turned like 17,
06:15 I've been like very like,
06:15 I have to carry my perfume with me.
06:17 It's like a very girly thing
06:18 but I like going into the bathroom,
06:19 making a moment of it.
06:20 Let's gossip, let's put perfume on,
06:22 let's put gloss on.
06:23 It's a moment.
06:24 There's no difference in the scent.
06:25 One, you can take on a plane, one you can't.
06:27 One, you can literally drink.
06:28 I'm just kidding, don't drink.
06:29 But this one you can take on a plane
06:30 and this one you can just like live with
06:32 forever and ever and ever and it's the best.
06:36 I swear it is my favorite smell ever.
06:38 I'm giving you a silent review.
06:43 (crickets chirping)
06:47 I love a bottle of water,
06:49 especially a good bottle of water.
06:50 It's nice to just have one in my bag at all times.
06:53 If I'm about to do an event or just I'm at home
06:57 or going to work.
06:58 I never get the little bottles of Essentia,
07:00 I always get the big bottles
07:01 and then usually that's mine for the day.
07:03 Essentia will always be my essential.
07:05 And that's on period.
07:06 We want a hydrated lip queen.
07:11 So here we are.
07:12 We have the Forensic by Mills lip oil.
07:14 This is our tinted Goya lip oil
07:15 and this is our regular tinted lip oil.
07:17 If I'm going out for dinner
07:19 and I just want like a nice cute shiny lip,
07:21 I'll use the tinted.
07:22 Which actually goes to your pH levels on your lips.
07:25 So it's different, it looks different on everyone
07:27 which I love.
07:28 And then this is our regular one
07:30 and I love this one.
07:31 It's just like a beautiful glaze on your lips.
07:34 And I always carry this, especially when I'm traveling
07:37 because my lips get so dry when I travel
07:39 or when I'm in cold places.
07:41 So this is always my essential.
07:43 It's before, during, after
07:45 and actually after is where it's key.
07:47 Like you have to keep doing it after you get off the plane
07:50 otherwise, yeah, you have dry lips forever.
07:52 Thanks GQ for checking out my essentials.
07:57 I really appreciate it and much love.
07:59 See you next time.
