Speaker 2: No, it really didn't. I was supposed to go to
0:38
Speaker 2: the Abilities Expo, which is in New Jersey. It comes
0:41
Speaker 2: around once a year, and I just felt just drained.
0:47
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but I just felt
0:50
Speaker 2: sick and tired and just totally shot from the past
0:55
Speaker 2: two weeks. And I woke up this morning and I'm like, oh,
0:58
Speaker 2: I gotta do it again.
1:00
Speaker 1: I know it's been very chaotic over here for both
1:03
Speaker 1: of us, and I just keep looking for that light
1:06
Speaker 1: at the end of the tunne. I'll like, all, I
1:07
Speaker 1: just got to get through this week and we'll be okay.
1:09
Speaker 1: And then the next week comes in. I'm like, no,
1:11
Speaker 1: we're not okay, but let's get through this week and
1:13
Speaker 1: maybe next week will be okay, and yeah, nope.
1:16
Speaker 2: That's how I feel. I was like, I was just Saturday,
1:19
Speaker 2: I slept all day. I just needed it. And then yesterday,
1:25
Speaker 2: you know, I did some stuff with the show, but
1:27
Speaker 2: not too much. But how was your weekend?
1:30
Speaker 1: Oh, you don't even want to know. I had an
1:33
Speaker 1: event on Saturday, so like I was working all day
1:36
Speaker 1: at my event, and then Sunday I was like, I
1:38
Speaker 1: want a day to relax. And my husband was just
1:40
Speaker 1: dead set on bringing you that table yesterday. So we were,
1:44
Speaker 1: you know, giving shown a table and I'm like, I
1:46
Speaker 1: just want to stay home. I just go, go, go
1:48
Speaker 1: all the time. I just want to stay home. He's like, no,
1:51
Speaker 1: let's go, let's get this done. And because of that,
1:55
Speaker 1: we had to stop at Staples. I'm having an issue
1:57
Speaker 1: with the return there. I returned a rug over a
2:01
Speaker 1: week ago to Staples for Amazon, and it never registered
2:06
Speaker 1: in the system that I dropped it off. So this
2:08
Speaker 1: has been an ongoing thing over the phone with Staples
2:10
Speaker 1: and Amazon, and Staples saying, oh, it's an Amazon issue,
2:13
Speaker 1: and Amazon telling me, well, it looks like they didn't
2:16
Speaker 1: scan it in So long story short, I was told
2:19
Speaker 1: by Staples to come in and have them scan my
2:22
Speaker 1: QR code so they could see if a label was
2:24
Speaker 1: ever printed for it. Great, my husband drops me off
2:27
Speaker 1: at the front door. Yesterday, I go in and I
2:30
Speaker 1: hear this lady telling a customer Amazon is down blah
2:33
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. So I'm waiting to talk to that
2:36
Speaker 1: lady because she's talking to the other customer. So then
2:38
Speaker 1: I when she she looks at me, I know Amazon's down.
2:41
Speaker 1: I just have a question. I want to tell you. You
2:43
Speaker 1: know what's going on? I said, last week I dropped
2:45
Speaker 1: off a rug and then I checked my app and
2:48
Speaker 1: it didn't show that it was that dropped off. And
2:50
Speaker 1: she immediately coused me off and says call Amazon. I
2:53
Speaker 1: was like, okay, wait, just let me finish the story.
2:55
Speaker 1: I'm not That's not what I'm trying to get at.
2:57
Speaker 1: And she goes, I don't want to hear your story.
3:00
Speaker 1: I have important things to do. So nasty Shauna. And
3:05
Speaker 1: I was so taken back, but I'm like, is she
3:07
Speaker 1: gonna laugh and say I'm just kidding, you know, Like
3:09
Speaker 1: I'm like, is this a prank?
3:11
Speaker 2: Like?
3:11
Speaker 1: How can an employee of a store come off that
3:15
Speaker 1: hot and heated and strong and nasty with a customer
3:18
Speaker 1: right off the bat, yeah right, And I was like,
3:21
Speaker 1: so I immediately said, can I have your manager? And she
3:23
Speaker 1: said I am the manager? Said okay, what's your name?
3:26
Speaker 1: And she said why? I said, because I'm gonna call
3:29
Speaker 1: corporate since you're the manager, I need someone above you.
3:31
Speaker 1: If you're not willing to help me, I'm calling corporate.
3:33
Speaker 1: And she just laughed. And I said, what's your name?
3:35
Speaker 1: Because she didn't have a name tag on and she
3:37
Speaker 1: wouldn't answer me. I said, asked her multiple times. So
3:39
Speaker 1: then I turned to her staff, her staff, and I
3:42
Speaker 1: asked them what her name was, and all four of
3:45
Speaker 1: them would not answer me. They they look the other way.
3:48
Speaker 1: They they would they acted like I didn't exist, and
3:51
Speaker 1: I'm like this, I feel like I'm in a movie
3:53
Speaker 1: right now. This is not real life. How can this
3:55
Speaker 1: be going on? I didn't come in there like a Karen.
3:58
Speaker 1: I didn't come in there. You know me, I'm chill,
4:00
Speaker 1: I'm like so sweet, I'm very respectful. And for this
4:03
Speaker 1: to be going down like that that fast after me
4:06
Speaker 1: just trying to tell a story, I was shocked. So
4:07
Speaker 1: I started to cry. You know how I get. I
4:10
Speaker 1: cry when i'm upset. It's a very bad quality to
4:12
Speaker 1: have because you can never argue with people. I can
4:14
Speaker 1: never argue with people because I get choked up immediately.
4:16
Speaker 1: I get a ball in my throat. I start to shake,
4:19
Speaker 1: like my hands are shaking there and I can't talk.
4:22
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, what was there anyone around? Any other employees?
4:30
Speaker 2: Like was there or any other customers?
4:34
Speaker 1: Well, apparently they were. I was so zoned out I
4:36
Speaker 1: didn't notice that there was customers listening and standing there
4:38
Speaker 1: and witnessing it. Those employees were right behind me that
4:41
Speaker 1: I was talking to that there was four of them,
4:43
Speaker 1: and I asked for them her name, and they were
4:45
Speaker 1: ignoring me, acted like I was invisible. They were looking
4:47
Speaker 1: the other way. Some were looking straight in my eyes
4:50
Speaker 1: and just like their arms crossed, like I'm not answering you.
4:53
Speaker 1: And I got so upset that I called my husband.
4:55
Speaker 1: He was outside with Julina, and I just did might
4:57
Speaker 1: come in. And as I was making that phone call,
4:59
Speaker 1: I I'm calling my husband and come in and handle
5:02
Speaker 1: this because I can't talk. That's what I said. Not
5:06
Speaker 1: a big deal, because if you're upset, like viewer upset,
5:09
Speaker 1: I'm calling my mom to come in and handle this right, Yeah,
5:11
Speaker 1: I'm upset, like I can't talk. So apparently that's a threat.
5:16
Speaker 1: So immediately after I say that, she comes over that
5:20
Speaker 1: that bitchy lady comes over and goes, huh, I'm calling
5:23
Speaker 1: the authorities on you. You just threatened me. You're gonna
5:26
Speaker 1: bring a man in here to deal with me, to
5:28
Speaker 1: handle me as a woman. You're bringing a man in here.
5:31
Speaker 1: I was like what. I was so taken back a
5:33
Speaker 1: second time, like, what the frig is going on right now?
5:37
Speaker 1: What is going on? I said, No, I'm upset. I
5:40
Speaker 1: need him in here. I can't talk. I need support.
5:43
Speaker 1: She called the cops on me. She called the cops
5:46
Speaker 1: on Lalla, sweet little Lalla. I know I sound crazy
5:48
Speaker 1: on the radio, but in person, I am like freaking harmless.
5:52
Speaker 1: I'm like a butterfly, Like I'm so harmless and calm
5:56
Speaker 1: and chill.
5:56
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, when you wrote to me, I was just dumbfounded. Yeah,
6:03
Speaker 2: Like I was like why.
6:07
Speaker 1: I know, it's amazing. So the cops are called. She
6:10
Speaker 1: lied to the cops. I won't get into all of it,
6:12
Speaker 1: but lied to the cops trying to make herself seem
6:15
Speaker 1: like a victim. They had to escort me out of
6:18
Speaker 1: the store. I wasn't acting crazy.
6:20
Speaker 2: I didn't care.
6:20
Speaker 1: I wanted to leave, but I just stayed because the
6:22
Speaker 1: cops are coming, and they said, yeah, she wants you
6:24
Speaker 1: trespassed from the store. So I was trespassed from Staples
6:28
Speaker 1: over asking trying to ask a question. I didn't even
6:31
Speaker 1: get loud. I didn't even get crazy. But you know
6:34
Speaker 1: the best part was the customers that were there. They
6:37
Speaker 1: were amazing. There was one woman she came over to
6:39
Speaker 1: me and she held my arms and she said, you're
6:42
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, You're alive. This is don't let this
6:46
Speaker 1: get to you, because I was sobbing and she hugged
6:48
Speaker 1: me and it was so it felt so good in
6:50
Speaker 1: that moment. There was another woman who's like, you're not wrong, honey,
6:53
Speaker 1: I saw it all. They're wrong. There was another woman
6:55
Speaker 1: who came up to the assistant manager and said that
6:58
Speaker 1: lady is the problem, like pointing to the the supposed manager,
7:02
Speaker 1: saying that she's dealt with her before and she's nasty.
7:05
Speaker 1: There was a man who came in and was like,
7:07
Speaker 1: this is bullshit, how you're treating this customer. I witnessed
7:09
Speaker 1: the whole thing. So everyone there who witnessed. It was
7:12
Speaker 1: on my side and comforting me, and it was amazing,
7:15
Speaker 1: it really was. And they had an amazing employee named
7:18
Speaker 1: shar He was a young, young kid and he was
7:21
Speaker 1: a true leader. He came up to me and did
7:24
Speaker 1: what you do in customer service. He did what you
7:26
Speaker 1: do as a human being.
7:27
Speaker 2: And you see what happened.
7:29
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of it he saw, because
7:32
Speaker 1: everyone it was just a little chaotic, like, but I
7:35
Speaker 1: think he knew pretty much.
7:36
Speaker 2: What it was.
7:37
Speaker 1: And he's like, what's going on, ma'am? And I told him,
7:39
Speaker 1: I said, she's being so bitchy to me. I don't
7:41
Speaker 1: know why she's so mean. And I told him what happened,
7:44
Speaker 1: and he was just quiet. He's just like nod in
7:46
Speaker 1: his head, and I'm like, and he's like, and she
7:47
Speaker 1: called the cops. I said, yeah, he's like, I said,
7:49
Speaker 1: I'm just called my husband. He goes, I know you
7:51
Speaker 1: called your husband for support. You're I could see you're upset,
7:54
Speaker 1: You're sobbing, Like, I understand why you called your husband
7:57
Speaker 1: to come in, not to cause problems, but for support.
8:00
Speaker 1: I was like, exactly, And I was like, And then
8:02
Speaker 1: she came out saw him talking to me, and she said, shar,
8:04
Speaker 1: don't talk to her, disengage, get away from her. So
8:08
Speaker 1: he couldn't talk to me anymore. And I said, I said,
8:10
Speaker 1: thank you, Shar for being a human being. Thank you
8:12
Speaker 1: so much. I appreciate you. And I told the assistant manager,
8:15
Speaker 1: I'm like, cause there was an assistant manager there, I said,
8:17
Speaker 1: he needs to be he needs to be promoted, and
8:19
Speaker 1: that woman needs to be fired. He needs to take
8:21
Speaker 1: her position. And she just was like listening.
8:24
Speaker 2: You know.
8:24
Speaker 1: She really didn't say anything back to me, but yeah,
8:26
Speaker 1: I was escorted out, escorted out, so I wanted. I
8:31
Speaker 1: was I'm like, I'm done, They're done. I told Seanna,
8:34
Speaker 1: I'm like, find me the CEO, which I did. Seana
8:41
Speaker 1: found me three names for CEOs and their person or
8:44
Speaker 1: their email address, and she sends it to me. I'm like,
8:47
Speaker 1: thank you, and I emailed them. I'm like, I'm not
8:51
Speaker 1: going I'm not going up the ladder the right way.
8:54
Speaker 1: I'm not going to the manager of staples in my area.
8:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to the freakin' top. I want the top
9:01
Speaker 1: person and I will let it trickle down because they
9:04
Speaker 1: don't want to be bothered with this shit. And I'm
9:05
Speaker 1: gonna bother them with this shit so that they grasp
9:09
Speaker 1: how serious this situation is and they take care of
9:11
Speaker 1: it because this is this is serious, this is really serious.
9:14
Speaker 2: So did they find the rug?
9:16
Speaker 1: No? My rug is still missing. And I'm like at
9:19
Speaker 1: this point, like, if that lady's fired, I will be
9:22
Speaker 1: glad not to just lose that money for my rug.
9:25
Speaker 1: I don't care. I want her fired. I don't care
9:27
Speaker 1: I will lose that money. But no, law, no, no,
9:32
Speaker 1: I would never want anyone fired. I've always I'm always
9:36
Speaker 1: a very understanding person. I pride myself on being very
9:39
Speaker 1: empathetic and too empathetic. I'm always putting myself in someone's shoes.
9:44
Speaker 1: I'm like that kind of person who there's like a
9:46
Speaker 1: meme about or like an Instagram real I always see
9:49
Speaker 1: where it's like I'm if I was being chased by
9:51
Speaker 1: a serial killer, I would stop and go what kind
9:54
Speaker 1: of trauma did you have as a child that made
9:56
Speaker 1: you this way? Not that I would really stop if
9:58
Speaker 1: the serial killer has chased me, but my brain would
10:00
Speaker 1: be thinking, like, at some point, what did he go
10:02
Speaker 1: through as a child that made him this way. I'm
10:05
Speaker 1: always trying to understand people and go Okay, I give
10:07
Speaker 1: them some grace, give them some grace. And I gave
10:10
Speaker 1: her the opportunity for grace because I said, I'm not
10:12
Speaker 1: this is not on you, ma'am before she got really nasty,
10:14
Speaker 1: I said, this is not on you. I know you
10:16
Speaker 1: weren't there that day. And she's still she still was
10:20
Speaker 1: a nasty, nasty, nasty woman. So, long story short, they
10:24
Speaker 1: called me, They got the CEO, got the email, and
10:27
Speaker 1: they they got their their person to call me and
10:31
Speaker 1: I had a forty three minute phone call with him today.
10:33
Speaker 1: He was great. He was very disgusted with the behavior.
10:38
Speaker 1: He told me he cannot let me know if they
10:40
Speaker 1: do what kind of disciplinary action they take. Obviously, if
10:43
Speaker 1: I go in there and I see her still working, yeah,
10:45
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be happy. And I'm gonna know they
10:47
Speaker 1: didn't fire her, but she needs to be fired. And
10:51
Speaker 1: there's no amount of training that woman can take because
10:53
Speaker 1: and she lied about multiple things. She didn't have a
10:55
Speaker 1: name back, a name tag on, and he said that
10:57
Speaker 1: they have to have name tags on. She wasn't a manager,
11:01
Speaker 1: so she lied to me, lied to me about that.
11:04
Speaker 1: So this woman's a problem, you know, I'm I was
11:06
Speaker 1: so upset old. I was texting Shanna, I was shaking.
11:09
Speaker 1: I had flu like symptoms, because that's how I'm emotional.
11:13
Speaker 1: You know, you were crying last night. I cried all day,
11:16
Speaker 1: all freaking. It happened at like one o'clock or we
11:19
Speaker 1: ended up leaving it like one twenty in the afternoon.
11:21
Speaker 1: I was still crying last night. I was crying all day, shaking, sick,
11:26
Speaker 1: I felt achy, nauseous and a headache. But that's that
11:30
Speaker 1: just shows you the kind of like I'm not emotional
11:33
Speaker 1: as a person. I don't get angry. I get upset
11:36
Speaker 1: because it hurts my heart that human beings can treat
11:39
Speaker 1: each other that way. And that's what it is with me.
11:41
Speaker 1: I get so shocked, and I shouldn't be shocked at
11:43
Speaker 1: human nature. Always say that why am I shocked? This
11:45
Speaker 1: is people, and everyone's like, why didn't you record? I'm like,
11:47
Speaker 1: because that's not my first thought process. I go into
11:51
Speaker 1: like shocked mode where I'm like, no, no way, this
11:54
Speaker 1: person is treating me this way. No way, this human
11:57
Speaker 1: being is treating another human being this way, and I
11:59
Speaker 1: just can't rain is always trying to grasp like is
12:02
Speaker 1: this reality? Because why are they doing this to you?
12:04
Speaker 1: Why are they doing this to you? I never think
12:06
Speaker 1: to pick up my phone, and I wish I did,
12:08
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna start. I'm gonna have to start thinking
12:11
Speaker 1: the worst of people and expecting the worst and preparing
12:13
Speaker 1: for the worst, and having that phone ready to go,
12:16
Speaker 1: like a typical Karen would. Do you know what I mean?
12:19
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Shaannah. But I'm hoping that the situation
12:22
Speaker 1: gets rectified. And I told them to get the footage,
12:25
Speaker 1: the video footage. Apparently they don't have sound CCTV. I
12:29
Speaker 1: didn't know that, so that sucks. But they'll see in
12:33
Speaker 1: the video my body language and her body language was
12:36
Speaker 1: she like fly Alin I can't even remember, but her
12:40
Speaker 1: stance was aggressive, like her hand on her hip and
12:42
Speaker 1: she's leaning into me. They'll probably see me go turn
12:47
Speaker 1: around and talk to the employees like what's her name?
12:49
Speaker 1: What's her name? All the story will add up. They'll
12:51
Speaker 1: see customers hugging me, holding me. They'll see customers coming
12:55
Speaker 1: up with their finger pointed yelling at the manager saying
12:57
Speaker 1: that lady's a problem like the other woman. So they
13:01
Speaker 1: could see all that going down if there's no sound.
13:04
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping. I'm hoping that something comes from this.
13:08
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that there's sound. I know, how can a
13:11
Speaker 2: store not have sound?
13:14
Speaker 1: I don't know.
13:15
Speaker 2: I don't know, especially at the checkout areas mm hmmm.
13:18
Speaker 1: And I was standing by the checkout area, so I
13:21
Speaker 1: think that that should be important. Especially I don't understand, like,
13:27
Speaker 1: if someone's making a threat to a cashier, even if
13:30
Speaker 1: they don't have a weapon in their hand, don't you
13:31
Speaker 1: want to hear that threat. If someone's like, if you
13:34
Speaker 1: don't give me all the money in that I'm going
13:35
Speaker 1: to kill you, that's a threat that needs to be heard,
13:38
Speaker 1: because if they look at video footage and just see
13:40
Speaker 1: a guy talking, they're gonna be like, Oh, he wasn't threatening you,
13:42
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
13:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
13:45
Speaker 1: It's insane. It's insane, and I wish there was more
13:48
Speaker 1: I could do. I just I feel trapped, like I
13:52
Speaker 1: feel like there's not much I can do in this
13:55
Speaker 1: situation because she didn't hit me, that there was no
13:59
Speaker 1: thing crazy like that, But it's still I feel like
14:01
Speaker 1: it warrants something major and I don't know what else
14:03
Speaker 1: I can do.
14:05
Speaker 2: I don't know, but keep us posted and definitely keep
14:07
Speaker 2: following up. I will.
14:09
Speaker 1: I am going to I.
14:10
Speaker 2: Cannot believe that it is Mother's Day already. I did
14:14
Speaker 2: not get my mom anything. She doesn't want anything, of course,
14:19
Speaker 2: So yeah, get her.
14:21
Speaker 1: That apple tree.
14:25
Speaker 2: I should, I really really should.
14:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, just along with it, find someone who could dig
14:29
Speaker 1: the hole. So it's like, you know, if it's your
14:31
Speaker 1: cousin or whatever, because that's her problem. Your mom's like,
14:33
Speaker 1: I don't want it because then no one's going to
14:34
Speaker 1: dig the hole. So yeah, that's part of the present.
14:38
Speaker 1: I hired John down the street to dig the hole.
14:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hired the neighbor.
14:45
Speaker 1: But we got a lot of great products for Mother's
14:46
Speaker 1: Day that we've been using and reviewing, and some of
14:51
Speaker 1: them are are my absolute favorites because number one four Patriots.
14:55
Speaker 1: I've been obsessed with this company for a couple of
14:57
Speaker 1: years now since COVID. I always talked about them to Shana.
15:01
Speaker 1: They are I'm a prepper. We always say it, I'm
15:04
Speaker 1: a prepper. So they're a company that aligns with all
15:07
Speaker 1: my views, all my needs, all my fears, and they
15:11
Speaker 1: focus on being prepared for anything weather related, terras related,
15:16
Speaker 1: you just never know. So I have been dying to
15:20
Speaker 1: get my hands on their portable generator with solar panels.
15:25
Speaker 1: And that's just was my well on my dream list
15:28
Speaker 1: for my prepping kit. And I even told the report
15:31
Speaker 1: of that. In the last interview I did with a reporter,
15:33
Speaker 1: I said, I want the poor Patriots generated with solar panels,
15:36
Speaker 1: and they sent one over to me. I'm so grateful
15:39
Speaker 1: and it's amazing because if you don't, if you run
15:42
Speaker 1: out of gas, I can use the solar panels to
15:45
Speaker 1: power this smaller generator. Now is this going to run
15:48
Speaker 1: my whole house. No, but if I need to charge
15:51
Speaker 1: a phone, if I need to do a small appliance
15:53
Speaker 1: or anything like that, it will be helpful to me.
15:57
Speaker 1: And even if it's not a worst case scenario, I
16:01
Speaker 1: have a lot of events I do with my Canoli
16:03
Speaker 1: business where I need electric, So it's something that is
16:06
Speaker 1: I could hook up and it's not loud, it's not
16:08
Speaker 1: going to bother my guests, and I can have the
16:11
Speaker 1: solar panels out and running my my little appliances for
16:14
Speaker 1: my vendor boots. So it's great for that too. And
16:17
Speaker 1: for Patriots also sent us a battery.
16:20
Speaker 2: They sent us the for Patriots Power Voyager, which is
16:24
Speaker 2: like a backup power compact battery basically, and it has
16:32
Speaker 2: solar compatibility with it.
16:34
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
16:34
Speaker 2: I'm really excited. It could power my laptop, it could
16:38
Speaker 2: power my phone when we have these crazy power outages,
16:44
Speaker 2: power outages that we've been having for the past two months.
16:49
Speaker 2: That's a whole nother story to another day. I can't
16:53
Speaker 2: wait to use it. I haven't used it yet, but
16:55
Speaker 2: I'm really excited.
16:57
Speaker 1: Just the peace of mind.
16:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, piece of black and it's just good to have
17:02
Speaker 2: in the house.
17:03
Speaker 1: So check out for patriots. I mean, we have it
17:06
Speaker 1: on our website. But if you're ever in need of
17:07
Speaker 1: other prepping material, like, they have food supply kits that
17:11
Speaker 1: they can last, you know, forty eight hours, seventy two hours,
17:14
Speaker 1: depending on the person, how many people in your family.
17:16
Speaker 1: And they have some really good food in there, and
17:19
Speaker 1: they give you recipes on how to make the food.
17:20
Speaker 1: So it's not the typical like military food that dry
17:24
Speaker 1: space crap. This is gonna be really yummy, delicious food
17:27
Speaker 1: that is shelf stable for years and years and years.
17:30
Speaker 2: Yeah. They also have a water filtration system. Yes, which
17:34
Speaker 2: is that's what you have?
17:35
Speaker 1: I think, right, No, it's something I want to get.
17:39
Speaker 1: It's on my list. That's My other thing is getting
17:41
Speaker 1: a water filtration system.
17:43
Speaker 2: So I got this all natural hormone balancer from my
17:48
Speaker 2: Divine Feminine and I've been using it regularly. I haven't
17:53
Speaker 2: felt a difference yet, but I will keep everyone posted.
17:58
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping that it likes my body and kind
18:02
Speaker 2: of puts my hormones back in balance.
18:04
Speaker 1: Yes, now that's what you need. Sometimes it takes you know,
18:07
Speaker 1: it takes some time. You got to give it some
18:09
Speaker 1: time and hopefully you do start seeing positive changes in that.
18:13
Speaker 1: They also had some serums lip gloss with castor oil
18:17
Speaker 1: in it, so really nice ingredients that you don't have
18:20
Speaker 1: to worry about. I love castor oil for everything.
18:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really want to try. They have an eye
18:24
Speaker 2: roller thing for your puffy eyes that I really want
18:29
Speaker 2: to try. So that is from my Divine Feminine. And
18:34
Speaker 2: then we got the green pans Stanley Tucci pizza oven.
18:41
Speaker 2: I am so excited to use this. It makes pizza
18:45
Speaker 2: in less than ninety seconds.
18:47
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Kind of a quick meal right there. I
18:50
Speaker 1: mean the prep will be the longest part, but that's awesome.
18:52
Speaker 2: I am going to calculate the time and see if
18:56
Speaker 2: it really does it.
18:58
Speaker 1: I love Stanley Tucci, So that's cool that he has
19:00
Speaker 1: the pizza oven and he has a pant set through
19:01
Speaker 1: Green Pan, so he's awesome.
19:04
Speaker 2: But we love Green Pan. You love your ice cream maker.
19:07
Speaker 2: We both have Pan SUTs and pot SUTs from them
19:10
Speaker 2: and we love them. And my favorite Melloies cookies.
19:16
Speaker 1: They're good.
19:18
Speaker 2: They are gluten free and it's preservative free, which is
19:24
Speaker 2: so important these days. And I just absolutely love them,
19:29
Speaker 2: especially that they're gluten free, and they don't taste like
19:32
Speaker 2: they're gluten free either.
19:33
Speaker 1: They're not like cardboard, no, and they're.
19:35
Speaker 2: So freaking good. My favorite are the chocolate chip with
19:41
Speaker 2: the peanut butter.
19:41
Speaker 1: And they had so many different flavors and they send
19:44
Speaker 1: you the mix so you can make them yourself fresh
19:46
Speaker 1: and have that warm cookie out of the oven, you know,
19:50
Speaker 1: right there, and I love that.
19:51
Speaker 2: I wonder, this is random thought, but I wonder if
19:55
Speaker 2: I can make if I could put a few cookie
19:59
Speaker 2: things on a and pop it in the pizza oven.
20:02
Speaker 1: I don't know that's I mean, you could test one alze,
20:05
Speaker 1: you don't burn the whole batch, but that'd be cool,
20:07
Speaker 1: you know, that would be And Wetbrush sent us a
20:10
Speaker 1: few brushes. We I mean, who doesn't love wetbrush. That's
20:13
Speaker 1: been around for a long time, right where younger.
20:16
Speaker 2: I still remember the first time I ever heard about
20:19
Speaker 2: wet brush. I was sitting at my aunt's pool and
20:22
Speaker 2: my hair, you know, my hair knots. And my aunt's
20:26
Speaker 2: niece is a hairdresser, and she's like, gotta get the
20:30
Speaker 2: wet brush. And I was like what, She's like, you
20:33
Speaker 2: gotta get the wet brush. You never heard of the
20:36
Speaker 2: wet brush.
20:36
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that was that's frob years ago, right, yeah,
20:39
Speaker 1: it was.
20:40
Speaker 2: It was so many years ago. And that is the
20:43
Speaker 2: only brush that I use because it just goes through
20:46
Speaker 2: my hair so nicely. And the same thing with Juliina's hair.
20:50
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my daughter's hair. Yes, it's hard, it's
20:53
Speaker 1: so naughty. She has such fine hair like Shauna's, and
20:56
Speaker 1: it knots in a second. So I she cries. She
20:59
Speaker 1: doesn't like her hair brush. But when I use the
21:00
Speaker 1: wet brush, she still cries a little bit, but that's
21:03
Speaker 1: because she's a baby, like she's gonna cry no matter what.
21:05
Speaker 1: But it goes through so smooth, and I can get
21:08
Speaker 1: her hair done in half the time. Then with a
21:10
Speaker 1: typical brush and it doesn't damage the hair, which is
21:13
Speaker 1: very important.
21:14
Speaker 2: Yes, and we have our rust ever cool sheets.
21:19
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god, I love them. They so I
21:22
Speaker 1: know you're a hot sleeper. Oh yeah, my husband's a
21:25
Speaker 1: hot sleeper. And these sheets keep you cool at night.
21:29
Speaker 1: It's the material that they use, like a silk and
21:31
Speaker 1: a rayon, and it has like if you feel it,
21:33
Speaker 1: it feels cool. It's like very cold to the touch,
21:37
Speaker 1: and it helps you not sweat at night. It keeps
21:39
Speaker 1: your body temperature regulated. And they're just so soft, and
21:42
Speaker 1: they come in different color, different sizes, of course, and
21:45
Speaker 1: my husband loves it. Now that summer's coming, I'm sure
21:48
Speaker 1: he's gonna love them even more and it'll keep us cool.
21:51
Speaker 1: And Buff City Soaps sent us their powdered laundry soap.
21:55
Speaker 1: It smells so good. I've never heard of them until
21:59
Speaker 1: you know. We we're researching and we got this product.
22:01
Speaker 1: But they are parabin free. They lack all the harsh
22:05
Speaker 1: chemicals that typical laundry soap carries. They're handmade. They have
22:10
Speaker 1: stores that you can go into and make your own
22:13
Speaker 1: bath bombs and soap, or or they have bath bomb parties.
22:16
Speaker 1: But you can make your own soaps or have the
22:18
Speaker 1: staff make them for you based on the fragrance you
22:20
Speaker 1: want and the ingredients. They're all plant based, so it's
22:24
Speaker 1: really great and that's really cool.
22:26
Speaker 2: Do we have one local to us.
22:28
Speaker 1: Yes, we have one in Kingston. So they do the
22:30
Speaker 1: bath bomb parties. You can book a party with your
22:32
Speaker 1: girlfriends or whoever. That'd be a cute kids party too,
22:35
Speaker 1: like for teenagers that would be because bath bombs are
22:38
Speaker 1: all their age and they're and you don't worried about
22:40
Speaker 1: it being like harsh chemicals in it. And so that's
22:43
Speaker 1: right in Kingston and or you can order on their
22:46
Speaker 1: website or from our website. And Hakka, who we love
22:49
Speaker 1: and I love as a mom, they have a new
22:51
Speaker 1: breast pump out. It's called the Eat Ladybug Breast Pump.
22:55
Speaker 1: They are wearable so you don't have to be plugged
22:57
Speaker 1: into a wall, which was the worst part about pumping.
22:59
Speaker 1: I hate it. So these are the wearable ones. They
23:01
Speaker 1: go inside your bra. You could work, you can go
23:04
Speaker 1: to work, you can go shopping, you can clean with
23:06
Speaker 1: them in and then they it's like it's pumping for
23:09
Speaker 1: you and you can do whatever you need to do.
23:12
Speaker 1: I love these because they're they're ultra slim. So the
23:16
Speaker 1: funny part about the old school wearable breast pumps when
23:19
Speaker 1: I was pregnant was that they were so big, so
23:21
Speaker 1: like you'd put them in your bra and your boobs
23:24
Speaker 1: looked like you were a triple D, feel like you
23:26
Speaker 1: had like they had tumors pop nat on them and
23:28
Speaker 1: the'se like you know, so you really don't want to
23:30
Speaker 1: go out in public like that. But these are so
23:33
Speaker 1: slim that it's great. You can hide them better. And
23:36
Speaker 1: they're ultra quiet. It's like whisper quiet, which is great
23:39
Speaker 1: because breast pumps are loud and they're obnoxious like so
23:44
Speaker 1: these are ultra quiet, which is nice. It doesn't drive
23:47
Speaker 1: you crazy.
23:48
Speaker 2: So we are going to be delivering our gift bags
23:52
Speaker 2: to Westchester Medical Center's Maria Ferrari's NICU unit where I
23:58
Speaker 2: was born. It was not Maria Ferrari at the time,
24:02
Speaker 2: but it is Maria Ferrari now, and I'm so excited
24:07
Speaker 2: to be a part of that in giving back to
24:10
Speaker 2: the hospital that literally saved my life. I'm so excited
24:15
Speaker 2: to partner with Alilette. It's the Ritzy Zombie breast pumps
24:22
Speaker 2: and a few other brands. I'm really excited though. I
24:27
Speaker 2: think the moms will be really happy, really thankful because
24:32
Speaker 2: it gives them time to spend with their little one,
24:36
Speaker 2: saves them money because anyone that comes home from the
24:39
Speaker 2: NICU has a bunch of hospital bills, so this will
24:43
Speaker 2: just take a little bit of weight off of them.
24:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and breast pumps are expensive, so it's amazing, absolutely
24:50
Speaker 1: amazing that Zombie sent us breast pumps for these moms
24:54
Speaker 1: because that's one thing off their checklist. They have to
24:56
Speaker 1: worry about one thing off having to spend money on.
24:59
Speaker 1: And I I love that. I love that they were
25:02
Speaker 1: they were able to do that for these moms and
25:04
Speaker 1: that we're able to bring them to the moms and
25:06
Speaker 1: make their lives a little bit easier.
25:08
Speaker 2: And the last item on our Mother's Day guide is
25:11
Speaker 2: the Lotus wheel. I figured that would be great for
25:15
Speaker 2: me and you. Yeah, we're really trying to get healthy,
25:18
Speaker 2: We're really trying to you know, exercise more. It's springtime,
25:22
Speaker 2: we got to get into.
25:23
Speaker 1: Our beach bodies.
25:26
Speaker 2: And yes, definitely, so I figured why not feature the
25:31
Speaker 2: Lotus wheel and you could do so many different exercises
25:35
Speaker 2: on it.
25:35
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's a bunch of different size wheels,
25:39
Speaker 1: like actual round wheel things with littles I'm gonna call
25:44
Speaker 1: them nubs on them, and then you can lay on
25:46
Speaker 1: it on your back. There's different size where you could
25:49
Speaker 1: start out with a really big one for easier or
25:51
Speaker 1: go down to a smaller one for different areas that
25:54
Speaker 1: you're trying to do. So it helps stretcher back, It
25:56
Speaker 1: says it helps with your posture if you do it
25:58
Speaker 1: a few minutes a day. There's one that is small.
26:00
Speaker 1: It goes right on the base of your neck, so
26:02
Speaker 1: you can, you know, relieve the muscles of your neck.
26:05
Speaker 1: There's one that you can put on the bottom of
26:07
Speaker 1: your foot and roll your foot on it that you
26:09
Speaker 1: know would feel great. So it's it's gonna help in
26:11
Speaker 1: different areas circulation, muscle relaxation, stretching, posture, and getting fit.
26:17
Speaker 1: So it's a great product. We are going to start
26:21
Speaker 1: using it and we're gonna do a little video and
26:23
Speaker 1: to see how how you know, I feel like it's
26:25
Speaker 1: gonna be a little funny watching us get used to
26:28
Speaker 1: it at first, but then once we get the hang
26:30
Speaker 1: of it, you know it'll be cool. But yeah, I'm
26:32
Speaker 1: excited to see how funny we look when we're trying
26:34
Speaker 1: to figure that wheel out.
26:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, we'll have to have the cameras on for
26:39
Speaker 2: that one. Oh yes, and that's our show for this week.
