"This is my first TikTok on here, I've been stalking you people for a little bit,” Jules says in her first clip, which happened to go viral. "I was watching one of these girls, she's an 'accountant', I was learning about the business, anyway, watching this girl, she's an accountant and she's talking about shaving her legs with sandpaper. She used 600 grit sandpaper on her legs. She said, in a circle this way 10 times, in a circle the other way 10 times. I did it."
