Meet Whitney Leavitt, the Mormon MomTok Star Who’s Taking the Internet by Storm
With over 3.4 million followers across her social media accounts, Whitney Leavitt has become a household name among fans of Hulu’s "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." As a busy mom of three and one of the show’s stars, Leavitt has mastered the art of creating content on the go, and her toolkit of portable gadgets is a testament to her resourcefulness.
In a recent video call with Mashable, Leavitt revealed her must-have gadgets, which include a hot pink Octobuddy phone mount, a Newmowa LED selfie light, and a VIBE USA vacuum suction phone holder. "I think it’s all about the lighting," she said, emphasizing the importance of good lighting in her videos. "I’ll always look for a window."
Leavitt’s affinity for affordable, portable gadgets is a reflection of her practical approach to content creation. "The more that I’ve gotten into being a content creator, it’s the cheaper stuff that I love more," she said. As a mom on the go, she prioritizes gadgets that can fit in her diaper bag, such as her trusty Octobuddy phone mount and LED selfie light.
When it comes to editing her videos, Leavitt prefers to use the TikTok app, but she also enjoys using Splice, a mobile video editing app that she finds easy to use. "I love Splice," she said. "It’s super easy to use, and if I just wanted to edit a video without having to upload all my videos on TikTok, then I’ll just upload them on Splice."
Beyond her content creation essentials, Leavitt also relies on a few tech gadgets to make her daily life easier. Her Ninja air fryer is a staple in her kitchen, where she meal-preps her meals and reheats them to perfection. She also swears by her Celluma PRO light therapy device, which she uses every morning to get a boost of energy and glow.
Despite her love for tech, Leavitt is surprisingly low-key when it comes to some gadgets. She doesn’t have a soda maker in her kitchen, despite her love for Swig, a popular dirty soda shop chain in Utah. "I love the experience of actually going to Swig and picking up a drink," she explained. "If I had a soda maker at home, it would get dangerous really fast!"
As a Mormon MomTok star, Leavitt’s life is a fascinating blend of family, faith, and social media fame. With her quick wit, charming personality, and arsenal of portable gadgets, she’s taking the internet by storm, one TikTok video at a time. Whether she’s filming on a plane, in a parking lot, or in the comfort of her own home, Leavitt is a true content creation superstar, and her fans can’t get enough of her.
