"For people who don't live in New York or LA, Botox seems really extreme, but even now, all my friends in San Diego, my hometown, they get Botox," the 31-year-old model told Refinery29.
"It's normal, I mean, I was terrified, but I was also, like, everybody looked great. My best friends were getting Botox, and I wanted to try it. With plastic surgery in general, the way we talk about what's normal and taboo has completely changed. It's what I mentioned on the episode. Like, nose job - check. Even Doja Cat tweeted about how she's going to get surgery to get a breast lift. I think there's something really nice about how open women are being."

Emily remarked about feeling older in her 20s than she does now. "Well, I got married when I was 27. That was just four years ago, but it feels like a really long time. I think I felt like I was getting older. I think I felt older at 27 than I do at 31," she added.
"Something was freaking me out. I had this realisation that I was getting closer to 30 and wasn't going to be young forever. But something about 31, I'm like, I'm so young. I turned to my friend the other day and was like, 'Did we ever think 30 was old?' She was like, 'We thought 30 was so old'."
