Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of the Hawkgirl Energy Podcast.
0:18
I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:21
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:24
you to become the hawk Girl energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:29
Happy Tuesday, Welcome back to another episode. I honestly I have to
0:35
tell you something really funny, so before we even get into this episode,
0:39
it is related to the episode as well, which is kind of funny.
0:42
So, as you can see by the title, we're going to talk about
0:45
all the things that are all about maintaining our health, our physical appearance,
0:52
all that good stuff. I have recorded an episode like this in the past
0:55
about how to become I think it was like the low maintenance, high maintenance
1:00
kind of episode, and this one is going to be kind of similar.
1:04
But I'm going to be talking about things that I didn't talk about last time,
1:07
which is more like things that we can do for our health that we
1:11
can maintain doing through a yearly basis, monthly basis, daily basis all that.
1:17
So that's what the episode's going to be about. But what I wanted
1:21
to say that was funny is that I'm literally sitting here in my bedroom trying
1:26
the overnight blowout with socks that I saw on TikTok. Please tell me you
1:32
guys have heard of that trend. I literally look like a fool right now.
1:36
Zach hasn't even came home. He's literally gonna come home and be like,
1:38
what the hell did you do to your hair? I'm pretty sure I
1:41
didn't even do it right, but I filmed it for TikTok and we'll see
1:48
if it looks good in the morning. If it looks good, I'll post
1:51
it on TikTok. If it looks like crap, I clearly did something wrong,
1:53
and we'll try and do it again and try it. Yeah, try
1:59
to film it again as well. But anyways, I just thought that was
2:00
funny. I wish you guys can see my current state right now, because
2:02
I literally look like, yeah, a crazy person. I also don't know
2:07
how this is comfortable to sleep in, Like if you guys do this all
2:09
the time, like, good for you, But it just shows that I'm
2:13
trying to be a maintenance s garly by doing my overnight blowout, and yeah,
2:17
I look like a fool right now. So Anyways, I just I
2:21
just thought that was kind of fitting for the episode that I'm literally sitting here
2:24
in socks in my hair, and it's just really funny to me. But
2:29
anyways, I hope you guys had a great week last week, and I
2:31
hope you're having a good week this week so far. Can we talk about
2:36
how it's literally the end of August, Like I have no words, I
2:40
literally have no words. I am so excited for September just because I have
2:46
a lot of exciting things happening, like my engagement party. Anyways, I'm
2:51
so excited for that. I hope you guys can feel my energy through the
2:53
mic right now about that. But I feel like I definitely haven't made like
2:59
work in social media a big priority because behind the scenes, I have been
3:05
working like a dog talking to vendors, making sure everything is good for our
3:09
engagement party. And there's just like a lot of like little details that you
3:14
like honestly don't think about, like wood poster holders like which or signage holders
3:20
story like that is the smallest little detail that no one would really think about.
3:23
But I need that. I needed, you know, cocktail stir sticks
3:28
ended up getting like cute custom ones from Etsy, and if you guys have
3:30
ordered from Etsy in the past, you need to order like a month in
3:34
advance because obviously it's customized stuff usually, So anyway, it's just like those
3:38
little little things that you don't think about. And I'm like, okay,
3:42
I need to get on top of this because we are literally less than thirty
3:47
days I think it's like twenty seven days to the engagement party. I just
3:52
ordered my engagement party draws. I ordered two of them, so I'll probably
3:57
show the two on TikTok once they come in and I'll get your opinion on
4:00
it. But yeah, that's just kind of been what's going on in my
4:03
life right now is just literally engagement, engagement, engagement, wedding planning,
4:10
all that. But if you guys don't follow me on Instagram, I did
4:13
give a bit of an update on the wedding as well, and we,
4:17
oh my god, I can't evenlieve I'm saying this. We are finally about
4:21
to book our flights to this destination, which is so crazy to me.
4:26
We finally confirmed last week with our planner, like we finally finalize like eight
4:30
venues that we want to go see. So they're in two different areas.
4:35
I'm not going to share the location yet, just because I want to keep
4:38
it a surprise for you guys, because I think it's going to be so
4:41
exciting. I feel like some of you guys have already guessed it. But
4:45
yeah, I'm very excited about that. And yeah, our planner finally kind
4:48
of gave us the clear in terms of like, Okay, this is the
4:53
week that you guys can come. This is the week we're going to start
4:55
booking like venue like visits and all that she wanted us to go this week
5:01
and told us that last week, like she wanted Zach and I to jump
5:04
on a plane and come like literally on Thursday this week, and I'm like,
5:10
WHOA, hold up, I don't have hotels, I don't have flights,
5:14
Like everything was just way too expensive obviously super last minute. So I'm
5:17
like, I need a little bit more time to plan this out. Like
5:23
I'm all about a last minute trip, but because of our engagement party,
5:26
I have been like very yeah, kind of picky on that because I don't
5:30
want to leave and then there'll be issues with like the vendors or anything like
5:33
that. Because I'm planning it all myself. I don't have a planner for
5:35
the engagement party. So even Zach ergreed, he was like, you know,
5:39
it's also way too last minute for him for work to just like yeah,
5:43
peace out, Like I'm gonna go leave to go look at wedding venues
5:46
for the next week in a bit. So anyways, so I just like
5:49
didn't really work out. So we have proposed a week after the engagement party,
5:58
so literally two days after the engagement party, we would fly out.
6:00
So we were just crossing our fingers that we can get all the venues toured
6:05
by that week. That way, we can just get that over with and
6:09
hopefully have a venue secured by the end of September. That is the goal.
6:14
So that is my updates for engagement and wedding stuff and just like overall
6:18
what I've been doing. I feel like these past few weeks. I also
6:23
didn't mention this in the last episode, but I went to go see the
6:26
Barbie movie. Did you guys see it? I thought it was so good.
6:30
My mom didn't like it or my sister, but I thought it was
6:32
so cute. I think maybe I overhyped it a bit. I mean,
6:34
I feel like everybody overhyped it. But I did think it was a really
6:38
cute movie. Like I did really enjoy it and I would watch it again.
6:41
I thought the storyline was super cute. But yeah, some people might
6:46
say it was a little overhyped, but you know what, it was cute.
6:47
I do think Barbie is taking over social media and all that, which
6:50
is so crazy to me, Like just seeing like stuff related to like Barbie
6:55
homes and like Barbie morning routines and like a it's just of you know,
7:00
Barbie stuff. Like I just feel like it's been everywhere, which is so
7:02
crazy. It just blows my mind how this movie is like taken over like
7:08
our world, I feel like. But yeah, I did see it.
7:11
It was really good. I watched the final episode of the summer I turned
7:15
Pretty, and I have no words. Are you guys team Conrad or Jeremiah?
7:20
I mentioned this in the last episode. I don't really know what team
7:24
I'm on, but I'm not gonna give any spoilers, I promise, But
7:28
I don't know how they're going to drag it onto season three. That's all
7:30
I have to say. But I really enjoyed watching that season, but I
7:35
just don't know what side to pick. I think I like the bad boy
7:40
of Conrad. But I also love like seeing Jeremiah with Belly. I think
7:46
they're just like such a cute like little friendship, and I don't know,
7:49
they make my heart happy. So I don't know, but yes, that
7:55
is something I want to update you guys on that I finished the last episode
7:59
and I have no words. That's what all. That's all I have to
8:01
say about that. And last little update because I mentioned it in not I
8:07
don't know if I mentioned the last episode or this episode before that. I
8:11
forget. Actually no, I think it was the last episode. I have
8:13
been wanting to become a reader, and your girl bought her first book and
8:22
I've already read three chapters. I'm so proud of myself, like very much
8:28
into the book. If you guys don't know the book. If I'm pulling
8:33
away from my mic and you hear the audio being weird, it's because I'm
8:35
going to grab the book because I forget what it's called. I haven't read
8:39
it in two days, so I've only read it for one night. I
8:43
took like thirty minutes and I read like three chapters and maybe not even thirty
8:48
minutes, like twenty minutes and it's called Meet Me at the Lake and Soper.
8:54
It's really good. I kind of like how it's based in Toronto because
8:58
it kind of feels like it's more relatable for me being so close to there.
9:03
But yeah, it's good so far. I'm not going to give any
9:05
details about that, but I know some of you messaged me saying, you
9:07
guys read it in like one night or one day, which I mean,
9:11
go you. I feel like I haven't really had the time. I'd love
9:13
to go to a beach and just like read for hours in tan at the
9:18
same time. Maybe I'll have time this weekend to do that, but as
9:22
I said, what I'm planning and all that has just taken over my world,
9:24
I feel like, and then obviously all my spare time goes towards my
9:28
work and all that. But you know, I read the first three chapters
9:31
and I'm so proud of myself. I feel like you guys would be proud
9:35
of me too. So anyways, I just thought I would highlight that because
9:37
I finally made time to go to the bookstore and buy the book and all
9:41
that. So I'm just excited to yeah, hopefully finish this book before maybe
9:46
before the end of the month. Maybe maybe not. That might be a
9:50
little too unrealistic of a goal for myself, but let's stay end of September.
9:54
We're going to finish this book before the end of the september. That
9:56
would be my goal. Maybe I can finish it on the flight as well,
10:00
or have a new book at that point. But we are trying things
10:03
out of our comfort zone and I'm loving it. So yeah, that's a
10:07
little update on that. But let's get into this episode. I'm very excited
10:11
to talk about the Hawk Girl maintenance routine. So, as I said,
10:16
these are things that I do currently or like on a monthly basis, a
10:24
weekly basis, a yearly basis, or things that I would aspire to do,
10:28
or things that I know people do themselves but might not be something that
10:31
I fancy. But the first one, this is something that I've really wanted
10:37
to do, and this is more of a once a year kind of thing,
10:39
is a vitamin test. So what a vitamin test is is it allows
10:45
you to know what you basically need. So I take supplements in the morning,
10:50
I take a multi vitamin, I take a probiotic, probiotic all that,
10:56
And yes, I could say that I feel like it's working, but
11:01
I don't actually know if that's exactly what I need. I mean, probiotic
11:05
and prebiotic is kind of different, but like the multi vitamin, you know,
11:09
it's I'm assuming it's doing the works of what I need. But I
11:15
definitely feel like I could be low in certain things that I could actually be
11:18
taking Vitamins four, like I personally think I'm low and iron, but I
11:24
want to get tested before I jumped to the conclusion of taking that, Like,
11:28
I would rather be properly tested and know exactly what I'm low in and
11:31
if I need to take Vitamin C or Vitamin D or whatever. Right,
11:35
So, I definitely think a vitamin test would be worth it to know exactly
11:39
what your body needs because obviously there's days where I lack energy and I'm like,
11:43
why am I lacking energy so much? What do I need to change?
11:46
Do I need to take supplements to help my energy levels stay high or
11:50
consistent? Right? Anyways, when it comes to vitamins, though, I
11:54
definitely think there is ways that I can improve my health by going to get
12:00
a VI itemin test. So that's definitely something that I really want to do,
12:03
and I definitely think it can make a huge difference in your overall energy
12:05
mood all that. Another thing that I've been really wanting to get done is
12:09
an allergy test. I feel like allergies is something that you can either grow
12:15
out of or grow into as you grow up. I know so many people
12:18
within my friend group who have randomly became silly acts so they only eat gluten
12:22
free things, or you know, some are allergic to red meat or certain
12:26
types of fish or anything like that. Right, So, I had an
12:31
allergic reaction two weeks ago. I don't know if I mentioned that two guys
12:35
on the pod, but I mentioned it on my socials. But I had
12:37
this really bad allergic reaction all over my face and it was from a skincare
12:41
product and my skin is pretty sensitive. But there's definitely a specific product inside
12:48
these skincare products that are creating this allergic reaction for my skin. And I
12:52
think I've narrowed it down based on the ingredients, but I don't know because
12:56
I've never gotten actual allergy test done. So I personally think it's probably lavender,
13:01
but I could be wrong, like I usually react to natural products,
13:07
which is crazy because you would think that you know the cleaner the products,
13:11
like in terms of the ingredients, the better for your skin. But in
13:13
actual fact, like there's just some people that, like, for example,
13:18
me let my skin likes chemicals unfortunately, which sucks because I'd rather use clean
13:22
beauty. But it was a clean beauty product that I tried and I had
13:26
a full on allergic reaction on my face. So anyways, I definitely think
13:30
it's worth me going to get an allergy test done to see what's causing my
13:33
skin to react the way it does. But I think in general, like
13:37
going into different seasons or anything like that, like sometimes you get super dry
13:41
eyes or itchy eyes and all that, and we don't really know what causes
13:45
that, and there could be something specific that you're allergic to that you should
13:48
be getting tested for. So I definitely recommend getting an allergy test. Okay,
13:52
this next one is definitely something that I need to do because my doctor
13:58
told me to do it and I'm so bad not doing this, but I
14:01
need to get my blood work done. I don't know if you guys have
14:03
gotten blood work done, but I do think that's definitely something that can be
14:05
done. I don't want to say yearly, but maybe like every two years.
14:13
Yeah, I just think overall, for your health, I think it's
14:16
important to just see what's going on. I don't think I need to go
14:18
into this much further, but essentially, I just think it's important to obviously
14:22
get your health checked and just make sure everything is good because obviously, you
14:28
know, we just want to make sure we're checking in and making sure that
14:31
we're making our health a priority. Okay, this next one is something that
14:35
I have been dying to do, but I actually don't know if there's a
14:39
place in Ottawa that does this. But it's a lynthetic drainage. And if
14:45
you guys don't know what that is, it's definitely something that could help with
14:48
bloating or depuffing or anything like that. Essentially, what it is is that
14:52
it's supposed to help remove waste and toxins from the body tissues. It could
14:58
basically just help any fluid that's built up into your stomach area. It could
15:03
also be like your face, it could be like your legs, it could
15:05
be basically a full body massage and it's just supposed to release any type of
15:11
waste in toxins from your body. So it's definitely something that I've been wanting
15:13
to try, so if you're from Ottawa and you know a place that does
15:18
this, semi message, because I've been really really wanting to try this,
15:22
but I definitely think it's something that you could keep up with, either on
15:24
a monthly basis or you know, a bi monthly basis, like go every
15:28
two months. Just try and keep with it in a routine. Now,
15:31
I know I've already been through a few of these maintenance tips, but I
15:35
do want to give a disclaimer that obviously this is not something I do every
15:41
single year. This obviously costs a lot of money, and I'm not saying
15:43
you guys have to spend all your money doing these things. At the end
15:46
of the day, I think it's important to do everything you can for yourself
15:52
at no cost by doing the little things like I always say, like journaling,
15:56
you know, exercising at home, doing meditation, all those little things
16:00
obviously are a huge impact in investing on yourself. But just know that these
16:07
are just some things that I can recommend for you guys if you guys want
16:11
to try it. As I said, like even for me, like I
16:15
can't afford doing these things like all the time every year every month. All
16:18
that. There's certain things that I obviously make a priority, like getting my
16:22
nails done and you know, the odd hair appointment and all that, And
16:26
I think that's all about just budgeting and just you know, for you what
16:29
makes the most sense. I'm just naming some things that I either aspire to
16:33
do or hope to do one day, either saving my money to do it
16:36
or anything like that. So I just want to make that disclaimer out clear
16:40
because I feel like, you know, some people think, oh my god,
16:41
how can she afford to do all that? Blah blah blah, But
16:44
no, like I don't do all these things, as I mentioned the beginning
16:48
of this episode, but it's things that I would like to do. So
16:52
yeah, there's also wasts like fine discounts online through emails or anything like that.
16:59
But yeah, just know that I would try and you take some tips
17:02
from this episode and create your own list on things that you think would be
17:06
a huge asset for yourself. So, as I said, you don't have
17:08
to do all these things, but maybe like five of these things that you
17:11
like from this episode that you want to try yourself, I think could be
17:15
worth you know, getting into. So I just want to make that clear.
17:18
But anyways, let's get into the next tip, which is facials.
17:22
I've done a few facials myself. I've told you guys that in the past.
17:26
I personally think they're one hundred percent worth it. Seeing the amount of
17:29
dirt on your face just being poured out through the facial just blows my mind
17:33
every single time. I think it's so important just to like really open up
17:36
the pores and just like really take care of your skin. Obviously a skincare
17:40
routine is so so important, but obviously a facial is a bit more of
17:44
an extreme approach, and I also feel like it's a bit of a skin
17:48
reset. It gives my skin a new glow, and I just feel like,
17:51
like I said, it's just more like a reset on your face,
17:52
and I find it's always so beneficial to do that, So I try and
17:57
keep up with facials, probably once every two months. I definitely know that
18:00
they're not cheap, but I definitely think it's worth it, especially if you're
18:04
that kind of person where you really really care about taking care of your skin.
18:07
And yeah, I just personally think it's one percent worth it. For
18:12
the types of facials that I've personally done, I've done an exfoliation and a
18:18
chemical peel, as well as a hydro facial. The hydro facial is personally
18:22
my favorite, just because I have super dry skin and I find my skin
18:26
just like really needs the hydration every time I go in. So I personally
18:30
love the hydrofacial. Just for someone who may not know that much about facials,
18:36
there's different types you can get, and if you are really dry like
18:40
me, where your face gets super dry, I highly recommend a hydro facial.
18:44
Okay, these next two are a dentist's appointment and a doctor's appointment.
18:48
This is something that you should be doing on a yearly basis, no matter
18:52
what I think, that's so so important. I will be totally honest.
18:56
I have not been to the dentist in a hot minute, Like I really
19:00
need to go to that, Like I have not gone at all this year,
19:02
and I'm due for an appointment. And it's funny because I told Zach
19:07
that he had to go and because he had to get a tooth fixed for
19:11
the engagement photos because he chipped his tooth through baseball. Anyways, long story
19:15
short, so he tells me, is, okay, you told me to
19:19
go to the dentist. Now it's your turn. So he's very right.
19:22
I need to book my dentist appointment. That's something I definitely have not made
19:27
a priority, and I need to. I think obviously, our oral health
19:30
is extremely important, and you know, I want to keep my white teeth.
19:34
I want to keep them looking good all that. I don't want any
19:37
cavities or any root canals or anything like that. So yeah, that's this
19:41
is my sign even doing this episode, that I need to call tomorrow morning
19:45
to book an appointment and then doctor's appointment. I honestly go to the doctors
19:49
so much. I am a bit of a hypochondriact. I think I've mentioned
19:53
that before in a podcast episode, But anytime there's something wrong with me,
19:57
I think of the worst case scenario and I just books an appointment to see
20:00
my doctors. So I've been to the doctor multiple times, almost too much,
20:03
I think. But I think it's so important to just make sure you're
20:08
always checking in on your health, as I said, and booking that appointment,
20:11
just making sure everything is good, because at the end of the day,
20:15
as I said, it's just important to make sure that our health is
20:19
just as important as well as what we look on the outside. Next is
20:23
booking a dermatologists appointment. This is again something I haven't done, but something
20:27
that I've been wanting to do, and the reason why I want to do
20:32
it is not really for like my skin in terms of like acne or breakouts
20:37
or anything like that. For me, it would be so educating myself on
20:41
the kind of skin that I have and using the proper products for my face,
20:45
but also just making sure, you know, I have a lot of
20:48
Beauni marks on my body and on my face, making sure that there's nothing
20:52
to be concerned about. So when it comes to like milanoma cancer, just
20:56
making sure that everything is under control. That you know, it's important to
21:00
check our bodies, making sure that there's nothing that looks discolored or raised or
21:04
anything like that. When it comes to beauty marks or moles, I think
21:07
it's really really important to just always get that checked, especially for people who
21:12
love to tan and who love to be outside like myself. I love to
21:18
tan. Obviously I wear sunscreen on my face twenty four seven no matter what.
21:22
It is part of my skincare teen as soon as I wake up,
21:25
But you never know, it's just always important to check your body and make
21:29
sure everything looks good. So that's definitely something I think should be booked on
21:33
a yearly basis. Next is hair appointments. I always like to get my
21:37
hair done, probably once every three to four months. I usually go three
21:41
times a year, and typically what I get is a trim. I usually
21:45
get a hair mask done like a treatment, just to make sure that my
21:52
hair is not damaged. I like to make sure it's nice repaired, obviously,
21:55
because using heat on your hair and all that can create damage on the
21:59
hair. And I don't really dye it. I have dyed it in the
22:03
past, but I am my natural hair color right now, so I'm hoping
22:07
to not do that again. I mean, the sun has lightened up my
22:11
hair a bit, which is not a bad thing for me. But sometimes
22:14
if my hair is pulling red, which I find sometimes it does, I
22:18
will use a toner so I won't dye it, but i'll tone it.
22:23
I try to avoid bleach or anything like that, just because it's quite damaging
22:27
to my hair. But yeah, so I usually ask for a trim.
22:32
I usually get long face framing layers, and I trim my bangs, usually
22:37
to my jawline, just to create that like nineties blowout. I love the
22:41
like really choppy layer look. I think it looks so good. And then
22:45
yeah, I usually get a treatment. But that's what I usually do,
22:48
as I said, like three times a year, and it always just feels
22:52
so good. You know, you feel good when your hair is freshly done,
22:55
like you always have a good hair day. I find, especially when
22:57
you just get your hair done, like it just always looks so good.
23:02
So it's always so worth just yeah, touching up your hair every few months.
23:07
Yeah, I feel like, as I said, you feel good when
23:10
your hair looks good. So yeah, okay. Next is a full body
23:15
massage. This is like so so important, Like I cannot stress the importance
23:21
of this. I probably get a massage once every I want to say,
23:25
three to four months. And it's amazing how like how much you don't realize
23:30
how tense your body actually is, Like the amount of areas that whenever I
23:34
go get a massage done, I'm like, wow, I did not know
23:37
I was so tight in my legs or in my neck or in my back,
23:41
Like it just amazes me how much tension our body can hold in certain
23:45
areas. And I like, you cannot walk away from a full body massage
23:51
and not say that you feel like an entirely different person, like you feel
23:55
so amazing after a body massage. So this is your sign to book that
23:59
full body massage. I'm telling you right now, you will feel like a
24:00
new human being after getting that done. Yes, you can do at home
24:06
massages with your fiance or your boyfriend or your partner anything like that, but
24:10
it's never the same. You have to go get that full experience. Let
24:14
me tell you, it is a game changer and it will change your life.
24:18
Next is laser hair removal. This will save you so much time,
24:22
ladies. Let me tell you, Like, if you're the kind of person
24:25
that hates shaving their legs, shaving their armpits, just taking all that time
24:30
in the shower to do your everything shower routine, you need to try laser
24:34
hair removal. Definitely not the cheapest thing in the entire world, but the
24:38
benefits are so worth it. Okay, last thing that I do on a
24:44
yearly basis, I get a bit of baby boat talks and I get a
24:48
little bit of lip filler in my lips. This is something that I've been
24:52
very open about on my socials, but I do have my lips done,
24:55
and it's something that I was very self conscious about. And I feel like
24:59
when I get my lip stent, I feel the most confident, I feel
25:02
the most me to be honest, I just feel like it suits my face.
25:06
I was just always self conscious of my small lips, and I am
25:08
a firm believer on doing whatever makes you happy. And if you feel good
25:15
doing it and you look good doing it, like I think it just you
25:18
should do whatever makes you happy. And I feel my best when I have
25:22
lippillars. So that's something that I'm very open about and happy to answer any
25:26
questions. If you guys feel like you want to get it done yourself,
25:30
I am happy to answer any questions like that personally. For me, as
25:33
I said, I just find I'm so much more confident with it and I
25:36
feel my best. And for boat Talx, I've gotten baby boat talks in
25:38
the past only once, but I do find it makes a big difference.
25:42
I'm a very expressive person, so I use a lot of facial expressions while
25:48
I communicate and all that, so I find I get little fine lines on
25:53
my face sometimes and I find the baby Boat Talks just helps a bit to
25:57
prevent that and that overall look. So yeah, that's definitely something I do
26:03
on a yearly basis, and again it's just something that makes me feel more
26:08
confident. Okay, monthly things that I do. You guys know, I
26:11
always get a manicure. I always love to get my acrylic nails on.
26:15
These are not my real nails. These are fake nails. I wish I
26:18
could say they're my real nails, but I was actually told by my nail
26:21
girl that it's probably better for me to do acrylic verse my real nails because
26:25
you're putting the shellac and all the chemical products not on your physical nail bud.
26:30
So I was told that it was actually better. But I don't really
26:33
know much about nail health, but I know when I get my nails done,
26:37
I feel my best and it's just something that I love to do.
26:41
And then I also love to get a pedicure. This is more so in
26:44
the summer, just because I know I'm going to be out and about with
26:47
open toe shoes and all that. I wouldn't say I do pedicures too much
26:51
in the winter, but I definitely try and keep up with it as much
26:53
as I can, and sometimes I'll just do a pedicure myself at home as
26:56
well. So but yeah, pedicures and man are definitely something I tried to
27:00
do on a monthly basis. Clean my makeup brushes. This is definitely something
27:07
I could be better at because I feel like this is something that's so easy
27:10
to forget to do, but it's so important to do because obviously, cleaning
27:15
your makeup brushes is definitely something that's better for your skin. You don't want
27:18
that bacteria going on just because obviously it builds up over time. And yeah,
27:23
but definitely cleaning your makeup brushes on a monthly basis is so so important.
27:29
This next one has nothing to do with your overall self, but deep
27:33
cleaning your home. I definitely find cleaning your home makes a huge difference in
27:37
your own mood, Specifically, like when I feel like I've been in a
27:41
rut and I just need, you know, to be in a better mindset
27:45
or a better headspace. I always find doing a reset in my home makes
27:49
me feel so much better. Just doing a deep clean, cleaning all areas
27:55
of my home, I literally wake up the next morning and I feel like
27:59
a new being because my home feels so clean and so new and so good.
28:03
So I definitely find doing a deep clean of your house once a month
28:08
really makes a huge difference in your overall mood and mindset, so I think
28:14
it's important to do that on a monthly basis. Next is eyebrow waxing or
28:18
lamination. I really want to get my eyebrows laminated. I'm a little nervous
28:22
too, It's definitely something I want to do. I think I probably won't
28:25
try it until after the engagement party, just because, yeah, just in
28:29
case, you never know, right, But I know I'm sure I'll love
28:32
it. And then I always get my eyebrows wax probably once every six weeks.
28:37
I have really thick eyebrows, so I pluck them as much as I
28:40
can, like on a weekly basis, but I feel like I need to
28:44
get them wax like every six weeks just to keep them looking the most clean.
28:49
And yeah, this next one is more of a winter thing for me,
28:53
but getting spray tans on a monthly basis is a huge benefit for me
28:57
because I feel the most confident and at my best when I have a tan.
29:03
I honestly think my mood is so low because I'm so pale in the
29:07
winter season and the girls like get it, get it. So I love
29:11
spray tan's more than self tanner. I just find it gives more of a
29:15
natural look. Obviously it is a bit more expensive, but I do find
29:18
they last a bit longer as well. But I go to this girl.
29:19
Her name's Brighter Byite Brett. Let me know. If you guys want to
29:23
discount code, I am happy to give you one. I have been going
29:27
to her for so so long, and she is so good, you guys,
29:32
she is by far the best person I've been in Ottawa to get a
29:34
spray tan. It's so natural. She's the sweetest human being. So let
29:40
me know, or honestly, just send her a message and book an appointment
29:42
if you're in need of a spray tan. She's awesome. But she is
29:47
someone I go to probably once a month in the winter, and I just
29:49
always feel like the most amazing human being whenever I have a spray tan.
29:53
Okay, next is weekly things. My hair wash routine. I like to
30:00
do a hair mask, typically in the shower. I'll put that in first
30:03
before a shampoo and conditioner. I've been loving the way hair mask. It's
30:08
just like a treatment that you put in for like five to ten minutes,
30:11
and I'll usually like do my everything shower at the same time, like shaving
30:15
my legs, exfoliating all that. And that's another thing I do in a
30:18
weekly basis, which is my everything shower routine. So you guys know that
30:22
everything shower routine by now. But shaving, exfoliating, body scrub, dry
30:26
brushing after a shower. One other thing that I've recently included into my routine
30:32
is oiling my entire body after the shower. Oh my goodness, I feel
30:38
like a new human being. I don't know why I haven't used oil on
30:41
my body after a shower, Like, I don't know why I'm just starting
30:45
this, but I just got the Soul Dijonnero body oil burst off. You
30:49
smell amazing. You smell like you just came back from vacation. Secondly,
30:53
your body is glowing, like the list can go on about how amazing this
30:59
product is. But I don't know why I just jumped on the Soul dij
31:03
and Narrow train recently, Like I also got the body wash as well.
31:07
Guys, can someone please tell me why I just jumped on this train,
31:10
Like I have no idea why, But I'm obsessed with the scent of the
31:14
soul Diji and Narrow products. They are so good I can't get over it.
31:18
Anyways, That's something I've recently added to my shower routine and I do
31:22
not regret it. It was the best purchase, and as I said,
31:26
adding oil to my body after a shower has been a game changer. Next
31:30
I feel like some people don't talk about this too much is facial shaving.
31:33
I do not shave my entire face, but I know some people do with
31:37
those facial like razors. They're not a normal razor, it's like more of
31:41
a flat blade. But I do that to my upper lip just because that's
31:44
an area that I find gets a bit of hair and I just like to
31:48
trim that up just so that it looks good. But that's something that I
31:52
like to do probably once a week. But I know some people that do
31:55
their whole face to give like that really like clean makeup look. I know
32:00
bowl like to have no hair on their face to apply makeup and it always
32:04
looks so so good. I just, yeah, I haven't gotten to that
32:07
step yet of doing my whole face. I'm kind of a little nervous to
32:10
try it, but yeah, I definitely know a lot of girls that do
32:15
do it, and just say that your makeup applies so much better when you
32:19
do do that, just because there's hair on your face that you may not
32:22
notice. But yeah, for now, I just do my upper lip,
32:24
and yeah, it's just something that I've always done on a weekly basis.
32:30
Another thing is facial tanning drops. I do not tann my face, so
32:34
I love to just add tanning drops to my face to just make sure my
32:37
face matches the rest of my body, just because, yeah, I tann
32:40
my body as much as I can, but my body is definitely more tan
32:45
than my face, and that's usually normal, but I like to try and
32:50
match it up as best as possible, so I use the Luck's Unfiltered Tanning
32:54
Drops, by far the best tanning drop brand I've ever used, and I
32:59
find it makes a huge difference in my face and I usually use that once
33:01
week. Sauna sessions is the next one. If you have a sauna at
33:07
your gym or at your home or wherever close by to your place, I
33:12
highly highly recommend doing that on a weekly basis. I've actually been strongly debating
33:16
on buying a sauna from my home, which sounds crazy, but that's definitely
33:21
something that I would love to save my money for and actually purchase because I
33:24
love saunas so much and I unfortunately don't have access to one close by unless
33:31
I buy a membership for a gym. But you guys know that I don't
33:35
really like to go to the gym. I rather do a workout at home
33:37
and do like spin classes or pilate classes. So for me, it's not
33:40
really worth the money to put it towards a membership just to use their sauna.
33:45
So yeah, I've been kind of debating on doing that. I've also
33:50
seen, I don't know if you guys have seen the sauna blanket where you
33:52
can plug it in and you just literally lay inside. Basically it looks like
33:58
a body bag essentially, and it's you sweat your brains off and then you
34:04
can take a shower after and it does the same type of benefits as you
34:07
would in a sauna. It's called a sauna blanket. I believe you can
34:10
get on Amazon. It's a bit more affordable. So that's definitely something that
34:15
I've been debating on trying as well. But saunas are so so good for
34:19
you. The benefits are increased metabolism, detoxification, weight loss, increased blood
34:25
circulation, all that good stuff INTI aging. The list can go on,
34:29
but there's so many good things about saunas and just something that I recommend getting
34:35
into on a weekly basis. So that would be the perfect ideal maintenance routine
34:40
for things that I would really want to keep up throughout the year, throughout
34:44
a monthly basis or throughout a weekly basis, or just the daily things like
34:47
I mentioned, like journaling, meditation, exercising, all that good stuff.
34:52
But thank you guys so so much for listening to today's episode. I hope
34:55
you guys enjoyed it. As I said, these are definitely things that I
35:00
don't do every year, but it's definitely stuff that I aspire to do and
35:04
strive to do because I know taking care of myself is so important and it
35:07
makes me feel good, and it's just something that I strive to do because
35:10
as I said, I always know I feel my best when I look my
35:14
best, but I also feel my best when I actually invest time in myself.
35:19
So it's very important to take care of our health, take care of
35:22
ourselves. So thank you guys, so so much for listening to another episode.
35:25
