Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hawkerel Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:23
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day for you to become
0:25
Speaker 1: the Hawkerel Energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:29
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. I can officially
0:34
Speaker 1: say that after two weeks of just being in and
0:38
Speaker 1: out of being sick, I officially feel like I have
0:41
Speaker 1: my spark back and my energy back and my motivation back.
0:45
Speaker 1: It was definitely a very hard week the previous week.
0:50
Speaker 2: And last week.
0:51
Speaker 1: I think I just kind of rushed into it too much.
0:54
Speaker 1: Like I can't really remember what I talked about in
0:56
Speaker 1: the podcast episode last week, but in terms of like
0:59
Speaker 1: me being sick, but I think I probably said something
1:01
Speaker 1: along the lines of me like kind of, you know,
1:04
Speaker 1: rushing back into it. You know, workouts have been kind
1:07
Speaker 1: of difficult to get back into. And yeah, just all
1:10
Speaker 1: in all, my mindset I still think wasn't in the
1:12
Speaker 1: best place last week, and I was trying so hard
1:16
Speaker 1: just to feel better, and my body was still telling
1:19
Speaker 1: me to chill and not push it. And I think
1:22
Speaker 1: that's very normal obviously to kind of come back from
1:26
Speaker 1: the flu.
1:27
Speaker 2: Or whatever I had.
1:29
Speaker 1: But yeah, so this week, I think on Sunday was
1:33
Speaker 1: like the first day where I'm like, Okay, the food
1:36
Speaker 1: is tasting right. Like I feel like my appetite was
1:38
Speaker 1: so off for such a long period of time that
1:40
Speaker 1: my coffee wasn't tasting right. I wasn't craving anything, like
1:44
Speaker 1: now my coffee is tasting amazing. I went to a
1:47
Speaker 1: few cardio workouts this weekend, so I did two SPINCOA classes.
1:50
Speaker 1: I haven't done spin co in like two weeks, so
1:52
Speaker 1: I was a little concerned getting back into it, especially
1:54
Speaker 1: with being sick, but it felt so good to sweat
1:58
Speaker 1: it out and just have that good cardios. So I
2:01
Speaker 1: feel like Sunday was like the day where I almost
2:03
Speaker 1: wanted to cry because I was just so happy to
2:05
Speaker 1: feel my energy back to normal, you know, just appetite,
2:09
Speaker 1: everything was just all aligning and it just felt so good.
2:14
Speaker 1: And then I did a little reset upstairs of just
2:17
Speaker 1: cleaning our house. I think I've talked about it in
2:19
Speaker 1: previous episodes, but usually for me, when I do a reset,
2:21
Speaker 1: I do like different levels of my home, so I
2:24
Speaker 1: don't do the entire house in one day, just because
2:26
Speaker 1: if we did the entire house in one day, I
2:28
Speaker 1: think it would probably take us like five hours, which
2:32
Speaker 1: I personally think is way too much to do in
2:34
Speaker 1: one day because obviously on Sundays there's other priorities like
2:37
Speaker 1: grocery shopping.
2:38
Speaker 2: You know, we like to usually make dinner in a.
2:41
Speaker 1: Crock pot for like a meal, prep for the week
2:43
Speaker 1: all that. So anyways, usually we can't do it all
2:45
Speaker 1: on one day. So this Sunday we also just did
2:48
Speaker 1: a whole reset upstairs. So all in all, it was
2:51
Speaker 1: just like the perfect way to start the week. And
2:53
Speaker 1: I'm just feeling like I got my spark back, Like
2:55
Speaker 1: I'm just feeling so good going.
2:58
Speaker 2: Into this week.
3:00
Speaker 1: And you guys have been so sweet, like so many
3:03
Speaker 1: nice messages, so many nice comments, Like people on my
3:06
Speaker 1: TikTok have just been commenting, like on my morning routine
3:08
Speaker 1: blogs and all that, because I kind of posted my
3:10
Speaker 1: first morning routine video this Monday of me actually like
3:13
Speaker 1: feeling one hundred percent and like giving it my all
3:15
Speaker 1: and all that, and your comments were just so sweet,
3:18
Speaker 1: like just saying like.
3:19
Speaker 2: So happy you're back. We love to see your energy.
3:22
Speaker 1: One girl, was like, you know, today, I woke up
3:25
Speaker 1: at six am, and I wasn't feeling you know, one
3:27
Speaker 1: hundred percent myself.
3:28
Speaker 2: But then I thought to myself, like, if Kaylie can
3:30
Speaker 2: do it, I can do it. Like you're my daily inspiration.
3:32
Speaker 1: Like that right there almost put me in tears because
3:35
Speaker 1: it just made me realize that, like people are watching
3:37
Speaker 1: me as like their motivator or their inspiration to like
3:42
Speaker 1: live the best life that they want to live and
3:44
Speaker 1: like strive to just you know, focus on themselves and
3:47
Speaker 1: better themselves and all that. And I don't know, it's
3:49
Speaker 1: just like the most rewarding job ever. And seeing those
3:52
Speaker 1: comments and just your messages just means so much to me.
3:54
Speaker 1: And I just feel like we're all best friends and
3:57
Speaker 1: even like your YouTube comments everything, like I read every
4:00
Speaker 1: single comment and I try to reply to every single one.
4:03
Speaker 1: I try and read every DM and I try to
4:05
Speaker 1: respond back to every DM, but your message is always seen.
4:08
Speaker 1: And just know that I'm always beyond grateful for your
4:12
Speaker 1: sweet words and it keeps me going to be honest,
4:15
Speaker 1: like you guys are my motivator. Like you guys push
4:18
Speaker 1: me to keep going. And yeah, it's the most rewarding
4:21
Speaker 1: thing ever. But anyways, we have a good episode this
4:23
Speaker 1: week that I want to talk about. I want to
4:25
Speaker 1: talk about the feel Good Spring Checklist. With us entering
4:29
Speaker 1: the spring season. I just want to talk about some
4:31
Speaker 1: things that I find make me feel really good when
4:34
Speaker 1: I do these things, or just like little things that
4:38
Speaker 1: I guess kind of happened throughout the spring season, so
4:41
Speaker 1: I thought I would share it with you guys if
4:42
Speaker 1: you guys are needing a feel good checklist, if you're
4:44
Speaker 1: feeling low, or if you want to like motivate yourself
4:46
Speaker 1: to get back into that mindset of just focusing on
4:49
Speaker 1: yourself and doing things that you actually.
4:51
Speaker 2: Enjoy that make you feel good.
4:52
Speaker 1: These are little things you can do to just, yeah, overall,
4:55
Speaker 1: make yourself feel better going into a new season. I
4:58
Speaker 1: do also want to point o that next week there
5:01
Speaker 1: will not be a new episode because I will be
5:03
Speaker 1: in Mexico with Zach. I don't remember if I mentioned
5:06
Speaker 1: it here on the podcast or not, but I talked
5:07
Speaker 1: about it on my YouTube channel. But Zach and I
5:10
Speaker 1: are going on a little birthday trip this Saturday, which
5:13
Speaker 1: we're very excited about, and it's our first trip since
5:17
Speaker 1: our honeymoon. So I don't know I'm just like very
5:20
Speaker 1: much looking forward to, yeah, spending a week in the
5:22
Speaker 1: sun with my husband, enjoying some downtime.
5:26
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I think.
5:27
Speaker 1: It's really important in a relationship or in a marriage
5:30
Speaker 1: to do those like fun spontaneous trips together, whether it's
5:34
Speaker 1: a weekend getaway or just a week away together. This
5:37
Speaker 1: trip was booked very last minutely. It was not something
5:40
Speaker 1: that we had really planned, but Zach was really just
5:43
Speaker 1: craving a trip.
5:44
Speaker 2: He was like, I really want to go away. I
5:45
Speaker 2: really want to do something together.
5:47
Speaker 1: Anyways, long story short, we ended up booking a last
5:49
Speaker 1: minute trip because there was a good deal and we're like,
5:51
Speaker 1: you know what, we haven't gone on a trip in
5:52
Speaker 1: a while. I think it'd be really fun to do that.
5:54
Speaker 1: And I also just think, as I said, it's super
5:57
Speaker 1: healthy in a relationship to do those little things because
6:00
Speaker 1: you look forward to something that you guys can do together.
6:03
Speaker 1: It allows you to focus on your relationship and just
6:05
Speaker 1: like do fun things together. And I think we put
6:08
Speaker 1: so much focus and time towards ourselves and like focusing
6:11
Speaker 1: on ourself, bettering ourself all that, but we don't really
6:14
Speaker 1: focus about our relationship as well, which is just as
6:18
Speaker 1: important to focus on and you know, work on. So
6:21
Speaker 1: if you're needing a trip with your man, I think
6:23
Speaker 1: this is your sign to book a little weekend getaway
6:26
Speaker 1: or a trip because it's always something to look forward
6:29
Speaker 1: to and I think it's going to be super fun
6:32
Speaker 1: to do together. So I'm very excited to celebrate Zach's
6:34
Speaker 1: birthday in Mexico, and I think it's going to be
6:37
Speaker 1: a really fun trip. So let's get into today's episode
6:40
Speaker 1: of the Feel Good Spring Checklist. The first thing on
6:44
Speaker 1: our checklist is a ten minute daily spring reset. What
6:49
Speaker 1: I mean by this is that in the morning, take
6:52
Speaker 1: ten minutes to yourself to do something that will make
6:54
Speaker 1: you feel better going into your day. So for me personally,
6:57
Speaker 1: one thing that I love to do is I love
6:59
Speaker 1: to just make sure my house is completely clean. So
7:02
Speaker 1: for me personally, I like to work in a clean space.
7:05
Speaker 1: So because I work from home, I don't want any
7:08
Speaker 1: clutter in my home. So I spend ten minutes every
7:11
Speaker 1: single morning just kind of putting away any like things
7:14
Speaker 1: that are cluttered on my dining room table, put it
7:16
Speaker 1: in the right spots my home. Usually I have dishes
7:20
Speaker 1: out on the counter because Zach usually washes the dishes
7:22
Speaker 1: at night. I don't really like to and dry them
7:26
Speaker 1: at night, Like sometimes I'll just let them dry overnight
7:28
Speaker 1: and I'll just do it in the morning. And because
7:30
Speaker 1: I have the time to do so, I really like
7:32
Speaker 1: to do that in the morning. So I usually put
7:34
Speaker 1: all the clean dishes away in the cabinets in the kitchen,
7:39
Speaker 1: and then usually I empty out the dishwasher as well.
7:41
Speaker 1: So that's kind of like my ten minute raset that
7:44
Speaker 1: I'll do every single morning of just making sure.
7:47
Speaker 2: The house is all tidy. And again, ten minutes, that's it.
7:51
Speaker 2: That's all you need.
7:51
Speaker 1: You just need ten minutes to just do a little
7:53
Speaker 1: tidy up, a little cleanup, and I feel like it
7:55
Speaker 1: just puts your head in the right mindset for the
7:58
Speaker 1: rest of the day, knowing that everything's clean and everything organized.
8:01
Speaker 1: So if you're the kind of person that doesn't work
8:02
Speaker 1: from home and you work in an office, or you're
8:04
Speaker 1: a nurse, or whatever the case may be, think about
8:07
Speaker 1: coming home after a shift and then seeing everything unorganized
8:11
Speaker 1: and just a mess. I think that would be really
8:13
Speaker 1: shitty feeling to come back from a busy work day
8:16
Speaker 1: and just seeing everything not in the places that it
8:19
Speaker 1: should be, so, you know, waking up a little bit
8:22
Speaker 1: earlier and spending the time just to like reset your
8:25
Speaker 1: kitchen and reset your home. I think you're going to
8:26
Speaker 1: come back from your shift and feel so much better
8:29
Speaker 1: knowing that everything's clean, everything organized. You don't have to
8:31
Speaker 1: do anything. You can just start making dinner and your
8:34
Speaker 1: night routine and all that. So we're calling it the
8:37
Speaker 1: ten minute daily Spring reset of just little things you
8:40
Speaker 1: can do in the morning to make yourself feel better
8:42
Speaker 1: throughout the day. Another thing that makes me feel good
8:45
Speaker 1: is creating a playlist. So I actually just got Spotify recently.
8:50
Speaker 1: I don't know why it took me so long. I've
8:51
Speaker 1: been an Apple Music's girl for the longest time, and
8:54
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, it's fine, But I don't know.
8:57
Speaker 1: I just always wanted to be on Spotify and create
9:00
Speaker 1: playlists and all that.
9:01
Speaker 2: So I'm officially a Spotify girl. I recently joined.
9:05
Speaker 1: Zach's account, so now I have full access to making
9:08
Speaker 1: any playlist I want. So if you guys are into that,
9:10
Speaker 1: I could share some playlists that I've created, but right
9:12
Speaker 1: now I'm working on my Spring playlist. There's a lot
9:15
Speaker 1: of Tate McCrae just because she's my recent obsession and
9:19
Speaker 1: her new album is literally amazing. I also love the
9:23
Speaker 1: new album that came out with Drake and Party next
9:27
Speaker 1: Door so good. There's some really good songs. I feel
9:30
Speaker 1: like whenever there's music trending on TikTok, I immediately just
9:33
Speaker 1: become obsessed with the music because I think I constantly
9:36
Speaker 1: hear it that it just I don't know, becomes my
9:39
Speaker 1: new favorite song. So I feel like a lot of
9:41
Speaker 1: my song choices are because of social media. But whenever
9:45
Speaker 1: a new album comes out, I usually just like add
9:48
Speaker 1: it to a playlist. But I also have like old
9:50
Speaker 1: songs that I'm obsessed with, Like I'm a huge Justin
9:53
Speaker 1: Bieber lover. I don't know if you guys know that
9:54
Speaker 1: about me, Like I wanted to marry the kid. I
9:57
Speaker 1: know every single album. If he drops an air as tour,
10:00
Speaker 1: I will be there. I will pay every single penny
10:03
Speaker 1: of like being front row, Like I don't care how
10:05
Speaker 1: much I will be there, I will be in the front.
10:07
Speaker 1: I will be holding his hand like he is the
10:10
Speaker 1: second love of my life, which Zucher and he knows.
10:12
Speaker 1: So I think every girl wanted to marry Justin Bieber
10:15
Speaker 1: at one point in their life. But anyways, I have
10:18
Speaker 1: a playlist of like all JB albums in one Like recently,
10:21
Speaker 1: I just did a spin co class of the JB
10:24
Speaker 1: Journals album, which I feel like is a very niche
10:27
Speaker 1: album and a lot of people don't know a lot
10:30
Speaker 1: of songs, but I know so many songs from that
10:32
Speaker 1: album and it just feels a good throwback, you know
10:34
Speaker 1: what I mean.
10:34
Speaker 2: Like I was sixteen or.
10:38
Speaker 1: Fifteen, I can't remember. Oh no, I was younger, probably
10:41
Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen when I first discovered him, but like
10:44
Speaker 1: the obsession was like till I was twenty. I was
10:47
Speaker 1: just like constantly listening to every single song.
10:50
Speaker 2: That he would release.
10:50
Speaker 1: I usually have a lot of Bieber in my playlist
10:53
Speaker 1: as well, just because he's my favorite and he needs
10:55
Speaker 1: to release new music because yeah, I'm missing him, and
10:59
Speaker 1: I think think he just needs to release more songs.
11:02
Speaker 1: Another feel good thing you can do for your Spring
11:04
Speaker 1: checklist is something for your skin each day, So whether
11:08
Speaker 1: it's a face mask and imask, red light therapy, or
11:11
Speaker 1: ice rolling, you know, doing some skincare, whatever the case
11:15
Speaker 1: may be.
11:15
Speaker 2: I mean, doing skincare every day.
11:17
Speaker 1: Is probably the top priority, but doing those little things
11:21
Speaker 1: each day. I feel like we'll make your skin thrive.
11:24
Speaker 1: I feel like lately I've been doing a lot of eyemask,
11:26
Speaker 1: which has been really helpful for my under eyes. I
11:28
Speaker 1: also do my red light therapy usually twice a week,
11:31
Speaker 1: and then I usually ice roll my face almost every
11:34
Speaker 1: single day. I would probably say like five times a week.
11:37
Speaker 1: Usually on the weekends, I kind of forget to do it.
11:39
Speaker 1: So but anyways, those are little things that I think
11:42
Speaker 1: are something that we can think about for the spring season.
11:45
Speaker 1: Is just choosing one of those things each day. It's okay,
11:48
Speaker 1: maybe tonight I'm going to do a face mask because
11:50
Speaker 1: I have more of a chill day, or you know what,
11:52
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning. Oh I have time to
11:54
Speaker 1: do you know, imask while habit stacking. So I talked
11:57
Speaker 1: about that in a few episodes ago about habit stacking.
12:00
Speaker 1: But trying to do multiple things at once is a
12:03
Speaker 1: game changer. So, you know, putting on imass and doing
12:06
Speaker 1: other things around the house or other things that you
12:08
Speaker 1: need to do to prep for your work day. If
12:09
Speaker 1: you're the kind of person that likes to meal prep
12:11
Speaker 1: or bring lunch when you're going to the office, put
12:13
Speaker 1: on some imass. You know, go to the kitchen, make
12:16
Speaker 1: your lunch, put everything in your lunch box, and right there, boom.
12:19
Speaker 1: That's ten minutes that you were able to put an
12:21
Speaker 1: eyemask on and pack your lunch for the day. Habit
12:24
Speaker 1: stacking has truly changed my life, and I think this
12:26
Speaker 1: is something that would change your life as well.
12:28
Speaker 2: By doing multiple things.
12:29
Speaker 1: At once, especially if you are a busy person and
12:33
Speaker 1: you know feel like you don't have enough time in
12:34
Speaker 1: the morning to do things, try and do multiple things
12:37
Speaker 1: at once.
12:38
Speaker 2: It will truly change your life.
12:39
Speaker 1: Another feel good thing for your Spring checklist is doing
12:42
Speaker 1: a workout class with a friend or friends. It's always
12:45
Speaker 1: better when you're doing it with a friend, let's be honest.
12:48
Speaker 1: I've definitely made a lot of workout friends in Pilates
12:52
Speaker 1: because I go to the same pilate studio. Everyone kind
12:55
Speaker 1: of goes at the same time. It's like the same
12:57
Speaker 1: girls for the seven am class, And it's been really
12:59
Speaker 1: fun because since becoming a member, I feel like I've
13:02
Speaker 1: definitely met a lot of new girls, and I feel
13:04
Speaker 1: like we all connect very well because you know, we're
13:06
Speaker 1: all kind of into very similar interests. So it's been
13:09
Speaker 1: really nice to meet new people as well, but also
13:12
Speaker 1: being able to bring a friend and like introduce them
13:14
Speaker 1: to something that you love, they might also fall in
13:16
Speaker 1: love with it, and then something that you guys can
13:18
Speaker 1: do together. So my sister and I we've actually been
13:21
Speaker 1: wanting to try out hot pilates, which I think I
13:24
Speaker 1: told you guys that there's.
13:25
Speaker 2: A studio close.
13:26
Speaker 1: By that is doing a fun deal where it's like
13:29
Speaker 1: fifteen classes for fifteen dollars, which is unheard of, and
13:33
Speaker 1: so that's something that me and my sister have been
13:35
Speaker 1: wanting to do together, just because Madison hasn't been loving
13:38
Speaker 1: Reformer plates like she likes it, it's just I don't know,
13:40
Speaker 1: she finds it very difficult and honestly, she's just like
13:42
Speaker 1: it's quite expensive and I'm like, so fair, like definitely
13:45
Speaker 1: not something that like she doesn't feel like she can
13:47
Speaker 1: keep up with. She prefers, you know, going to spinning.
13:50
Speaker 1: But I'm like, you know what, I'd love to do
13:51
Speaker 1: this with you. We should try and do a class
13:53
Speaker 1: together and see if this can be our thing that
13:55
Speaker 1: we could do together. So try and find things that
13:58
Speaker 1: you and your friends can do, any kind of movement
14:00
Speaker 1: that you guys would both enjoy again. I find it's
14:03
Speaker 1: so much more fun when you're doing a workout with
14:05
Speaker 1: friends versus doing it alone. I also find it's a
14:07
Speaker 1: good way to motivate yourself to go to a workout
14:09
Speaker 1: class because if your.
14:10
Speaker 2: Friends are going, you're gonna want to go.
14:13
Speaker 1: So you can also use that as an excuse or
14:16
Speaker 1: a way to motivate yourself to get your butt to
14:18
Speaker 1: a workout class. Another feel good thing for your Spring
14:21
Speaker 1: checklist is treating yourself to a little sweet tree. Lately,
14:25
Speaker 1: my cravings have been to walk to a bakery or
14:28
Speaker 1: a coffee shop and pick up my favorite pastry. Currently,
14:31
Speaker 1: my favorite pastries would be a almond croissant or a blueberry scone.
14:37
Speaker 1: I don't know why lately, I've just been craving those
14:39
Speaker 1: things whenever I go to a coffee shop. But you know,
14:41
Speaker 1: the whole point of a sweet tree is to do
14:43
Speaker 1: it once in a while, Like it's important to reward
14:45
Speaker 1: ourself and you know, listen to our cravings and if
14:48
Speaker 1: you're craving a freaking pastry, get a freaking pastry. But
14:51
Speaker 1: I love always getting a coffee at a coffee shop
14:53
Speaker 1: on the weekend, so sometimes I'll treat myself to a
14:55
Speaker 1: little sweet treet and I'll get one of those two
14:57
Speaker 1: things and then this is very off top, but it
15:00
Speaker 1: just made me think of it because of talking about
15:02
Speaker 1: sweet treats. But lately everyone's been talking about the high
15:07
Speaker 1: protein bagels, and maybe I'm like very much late to
15:11
Speaker 1: the game for this, but I've been seeing people talk
15:13
Speaker 1: about this like three to four ingredient bagels that you
15:15
Speaker 1: can make from home, and it's high protein. It's like
15:18
Speaker 1: very simple to make. And someone that I follow, Mikayla,
15:23
Speaker 1: she just made these blueberry bagels and I was like, WHOA,
15:28
Speaker 1: that looks amazing.
15:29
Speaker 2: I need to try that.
15:30
Speaker 1: I've been influenced, So I didn't see a point in
15:33
Speaker 1: obviously picking up the ingredients to make it this week
15:35
Speaker 1: because when she posted it, I think it was on Monday,
15:37
Speaker 1: and I already did my grocery shopping on Sunday. So
15:41
Speaker 1: when I get back from Mexico, you bet your ass,
15:43
Speaker 1: I will be going to the grocery store picking up
15:45
Speaker 1: all the ingredients to make those blueberry bagels. And I'm
15:48
Speaker 1: gonna tempt it at home because I used to love
15:52
Speaker 1: eating blueberry or like cinnamon raisin bagels. But I kind
15:55
Speaker 1: of you know, avoided eating it just because it's obviously
15:58
Speaker 1: not the best ingreened from the ones.
16:01
Speaker 2: That you buy at the store.
16:02
Speaker 1: So you know, now I eat sour dough bread and
16:04
Speaker 1: I kind of, you know, do like a blueberry toast
16:06
Speaker 1: or whatever. But now that this whole like bagel recipe
16:10
Speaker 1: thing is a huge, massive thing, right now, I'm like,
16:12
Speaker 1: I need to try this and I need to see
16:13
Speaker 1: if it's worth the height. So stay tuned for that
16:15
Speaker 1: because I probably will be filming my experience on that.
16:18
Speaker 1: But another thing that I think is another feel good
16:21
Speaker 1: thing to do is baking or trying new recipes. I'm
16:24
Speaker 1: not a good baker, I will be very honest about that.
16:27
Speaker 1: I used to bake all the time, to be honest,
16:29
Speaker 1: when I first started my health and wellness journey, because
16:32
Speaker 1: I was very much into just eating almost like too clean,
16:36
Speaker 1: like where I didn't want to eat any processed foods.
16:38
Speaker 1: And of course I always try and cut out as
16:40
Speaker 1: much processed foods as I can because that's just something
16:42
Speaker 1: I strive to do. And I'm very much like an
16:44
Speaker 1: ingredient girl. So if you see a girl at the
16:46
Speaker 1: grocery store reading the labels on every single food container,
16:50
Speaker 1: that she buys. That's me, like, I'm very picky about
16:53
Speaker 1: what added oils are in it.
16:54
Speaker 2: All that. But anyways, besides the point, the point is
16:57
Speaker 2: that I used to.
16:58
Speaker 1: Be very much into just clean eating and clean baking
17:01
Speaker 1: and I just completely stopped that. And I don't know why,
17:03
Speaker 1: but now I'm thinking I need to get back into it.
17:06
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just have been having this craving
17:08
Speaker 1: of making things again. And there was this one recipe
17:11
Speaker 1: that I used to make all the freaking time. It
17:14
Speaker 1: was almond butter blondies, very clean ingredients, taste like heaven.
17:19
Speaker 2: It literally tasted like a melted chocolate chip cookie like.
17:22
Speaker 2: It was so good.
17:23
Speaker 1: I don't know why I stopped making it, to be honest,
17:25
Speaker 1: but Zach and I used to be obsessed with it.
17:27
Speaker 1: So that's something else I want to make again, is
17:29
Speaker 1: these almond butter blondies. I will share the recipe when
17:31
Speaker 1: I find it, because I don't know where it is.
17:34
Speaker 1: It's somewhere in my phone. I'm hoping it's in my notes,
17:36
Speaker 1: but I don't know where I found this recipe. But
17:39
Speaker 1: it was me and Zach's like favorite thing ever. We
17:42
Speaker 1: used to make it like all the time, and then
17:43
Speaker 1: I think we maybe got stick and tired of it
17:45
Speaker 1: and stopped making it. But anyways, I want to get
17:47
Speaker 1: back into making that because I think that would also
17:49
Speaker 1: be really good if I added an almond butter blondie
17:53
Speaker 1: into my ninja creamy with like chocolate ice cream. Oh
17:55
Speaker 1: my god, it sounds like an ice cream blizzard, Like,
17:58
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can always try that. I'm getting
18:00
Speaker 1: hungry after talking about this. Another thing is trying new recipes.
18:04
Speaker 1: As I said, so, I love when I try a
18:06
Speaker 1: new genner recipe that I found off Pinterest or you know, somewhere,
18:09
Speaker 1: or off TikTok or Instagram, and when it tastes good,
18:12
Speaker 1: it's the best feeling, like finding a new recipe that
18:15
Speaker 1: you can add into like your dinner rotations for the
18:17
Speaker 1: week or your little weekend sweet treat. Right now, I've
18:20
Speaker 1: been really wanting to try that viral TikTok recipe which
18:23
Speaker 1: is ground beef avocado, cottage cheese, sweet potatoes with hot
18:27
Speaker 1: honey on top. Sounds interesting. I don't know how I
18:32
Speaker 1: feel about hot honey with cottage cheese in ground beef.
18:36
Speaker 2: I don't know.
18:36
Speaker 1: It sounds like a very interesting mix, but I will
18:39
Speaker 1: try it because if I see the people do it,
18:42
Speaker 1: I will definitely be.
18:43
Speaker 2: A victim to trying it. So that's on my list
18:44
Speaker 2: to make when I get home for my trip as well.
18:47
Speaker 1: I usually use ricotta, though not cottage cheese, just because
18:50
Speaker 1: I prefer the taste of ricotta war But I don't
18:52
Speaker 1: know if that is the right move for that recipe.
18:55
Speaker 1: We shall see, But I usually buy ricotta because it's
18:58
Speaker 1: also a form of cottage cheese. I just find ricotta
19:01
Speaker 1: has a bit more of a I don't want to say,
19:03
Speaker 1: a sweeter taste, but it just has a better taste
19:05
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and it still has the exact same
19:07
Speaker 1: amount of protein and fats. Like I will literally eat
19:11
Speaker 1: a spoonful of ricotta like in the afternoon as my
19:13
Speaker 1: afternoon's snack because I just love ricotta that much. I
19:16
Speaker 1: just add a bit of salt and I just like
19:18
Speaker 1: spoonful ricotta. So I don't know if that's weird or not,
19:21
Speaker 1: but I like to have cottage cheese as a snack
19:23
Speaker 1: and I'll just be in my kitchen eating my ricotta
19:26
Speaker 1: and that's like my protein source of a snack for
19:30
Speaker 1: my afternoon. It's it's kind of weird, but I don't know,
19:32
Speaker 1: I love it. Another feel good thing for your Spring
19:35
Speaker 1: checklist is taking that everything shower. I find taking in
19:39
Speaker 1: everything shower makes me feel like the cleanest person alive,
19:43
Speaker 1: Like I feel like when I'm doing a.
19:44
Speaker 2: Hair mask, when I shave everything.
19:46
Speaker 1: When I'm using my shower oil and then I do
19:48
Speaker 1: my post body oil after, I feel like I feel
19:51
Speaker 1: the most feminine and I feel like it literally makes
19:54
Speaker 1: me feel like I just did a massive glow up, like.
19:56
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but
19:58
Speaker 1: when I actually put the medication in an everything shower,
20:02
Speaker 1: I do feel like a new human being. I will
20:04
Speaker 1: say it is a lot of work. It gets tiring
20:06
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're in the shower for like a long
20:09
Speaker 1: period of time doing all those things, but the feeling
20:12
Speaker 1: after the fact does feel good, and I do think
20:15
Speaker 1: it's one of the best feelings in the world. Another
20:18
Speaker 1: thing I love is putting on a matching set, whether
20:20
Speaker 1: it's a PG set, a workout set, a sweat set,
20:23
Speaker 1: I immediately feel ten times more put together when I
20:26
Speaker 1: have a matching set on. I don't know if that's
20:28
Speaker 1: like scientifically proven, but I just feel like a whole
20:31
Speaker 1: new human being when I have a matching set on.
20:33
Speaker 1: I'm sure most of you know that I basically live
20:35
Speaker 1: in workout sets. Like that's what I wear every single morning.
20:38
Speaker 1: Usually I don't really take it off, like later in
20:41
Speaker 1: the afternoon. I'll probably switch into you know, another matching
20:45
Speaker 1: set most likely, or if I'm leaving the house, I'll
20:47
Speaker 1: wear jeans and a cute outfit.
20:49
Speaker 2: But I don't really put effort in my.
20:53
Speaker 1: Day to day outfits just because I feel the most
20:55
Speaker 1: competent in a workout set or a matching set, Whereas
20:58
Speaker 1: like when I'm going out for like an nice dinner
21:00
Speaker 1: or something's going on on the weekend, I put a
21:02
Speaker 1: lot more effort in my fashion and my outfits. But
21:06
Speaker 1: I think it's just because I don't leave the house.
21:08
Speaker 1: I don't see the point in putting the effort. I'd
21:09
Speaker 1: rather just like wear matching sets and look put together
21:12
Speaker 1: at my home than you know, putting on jeans or
21:15
Speaker 1: anything like that. So matching sets are the key to
21:17
Speaker 1: feeling the most put together, and yeah, you just feel
21:20
Speaker 1: a bit more confident.
21:21
Speaker 2: Another thing that.
21:21
Speaker 1: Makes me feel good is binge watching my favorite TV show.
21:26
Speaker 1: I Am not gonna lie. We started Friends again, Zach
21:30
Speaker 1: and I. If you guys know or don't know, I've
21:33
Speaker 1: watched the entire season from season one to season ten
21:37
Speaker 1: of Friends, probably seven times. Like I've memorized what they're
21:41
Speaker 1: going to say in the show. It's pretty bad, to
21:44
Speaker 1: be honest, it's just an obsession. I don't know why
21:47
Speaker 1: we decided to start it when we were sick. I
21:49
Speaker 1: think it's just because we wanted some background noise, and
21:51
Speaker 1: then now we can't stop. Like now we're like we're
21:53
Speaker 1: making dinner, We're like, let's turn Friends on. Or you know,
21:56
Speaker 1: if we're upstairs and we're getting work done, we're like, okay,
21:58
Speaker 1: let's just turn on Friends. It's just a good show
22:01
Speaker 1: to put on in the background. So I would say
22:03
Speaker 1: Friends is definitely my comfort show. Like if I'm traveling
22:07
Speaker 1: and I just need to put something on, I'm gonna
22:08
Speaker 1: put on Friends, just because it's one of my favorite
22:10
Speaker 1: TV shows. Other shows that I would say or my
22:14
Speaker 1: comfort shows would be Vampire Diaries, Gray's Anatomy, and Wintrey Hill.
22:18
Speaker 2: Those are other shows that I've watched on and off.
22:21
Speaker 1: Right now, I've been actually wanting to rewatch Pretty Little Liars.
22:25
Speaker 1: I have not watched that show in a very long time.
22:28
Speaker 1: But I actually don't know what platform is on. If
22:30
Speaker 1: you know what platform it's on, let me know. Is
22:32
Speaker 1: it on.
22:33
Speaker 2: Crave or Hulu? I don't know, but.
22:35
Speaker 1: I've been really wanting to watch that again, so that's
22:38
Speaker 1: on my list. But I love rewatching comfort shows like
22:41
Speaker 1: that is one of the best feelings is just rewatching it.
22:44
Speaker 1: Sometimes watching a new show is good too, when it's
22:47
Speaker 1: a really good new show, like that show that I
22:49
Speaker 1: talked about a few weeks ago, Paradise. Wow, that's on
22:53
Speaker 1: Disney or Hulu if you guys want to watch it,
22:55
Speaker 1: But it is amazing. That was probably the first show
22:58
Speaker 1: that I've watched in a very long time where or
23:00
Speaker 1: I couldn't keep my eyes off the TV, like I'm like, whoa,
23:03
Speaker 1: this is extremely interesting. I was hooked, it was engaging,
23:07
Speaker 1: like it was just so good. So I feel like
23:09
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of TV shows like that nowadays.
23:12
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone else.
23:13
Speaker 1: Can agree to that, but I feel like it's always
23:14
Speaker 1: a hit and miss. But when you know there's a
23:16
Speaker 1: good TV show and it's your comfort show and you
23:18
Speaker 1: just keep rewatching it, I don't know. I think that's
23:21
Speaker 1: like one of the best feelings. Another thing for your
23:23
Speaker 1: feel good checklists for the spring season is decorating your
23:26
Speaker 1: home for the spring season. So right now, I would
23:30
Speaker 1: say spring very much focuses on like pastel colors. When
23:34
Speaker 1: I think of spring, I think of baby pink. I
23:36
Speaker 1: think a baby blue, purple, pale yellow like that to
23:40
Speaker 1: me screams spring. So I love to just add hints
23:44
Speaker 1: in my home, Like right now, I still have a
23:46
Speaker 1: lot of pink from Valentine's Day, so I'm like, you know,
23:49
Speaker 1: it still kind of goes with the theme it's spring,
23:51
Speaker 1: but I really want to add some like lighter colors
23:53
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, so like changing out the dish towels,
23:56
Speaker 1: maybe adding some you know, towels in the bathroom that
24:01
Speaker 1: are a bit more brighter and lighter and just feeling
24:03
Speaker 1: more spring. I've added a lot of tulips in the house,
24:06
Speaker 1: which is another thing that I wanted to talk about,
24:08
Speaker 1: is adding fresh tulips to your home during the spring season,
24:12
Speaker 1: or just fresh flowers in general, is literally just screams
24:15
Speaker 1: spring to me. Like it feels so comforting in a
24:18
Speaker 1: home to have your flowers out. But tulips specifically has
24:22
Speaker 1: been something that I've been buying consistently in the house,
24:24
Speaker 1: and it just makes the home feel like spring and it.
24:27
Speaker 2: Just brightens the space up so much.
24:29
Speaker 1: But yeah, so adding light color is very minimal things
24:32
Speaker 1: like you know, colorful candles. You can also change your
24:36
Speaker 1: bed sheets if you want, so if you want to
24:38
Speaker 1: do like a light pink bed sheet or a baby
24:40
Speaker 1: blue or a pale yellow. I've been wanting to change
24:42
Speaker 1: my bedding because I've had the same bedding since December.
24:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe I'll do that when I get home,
24:47
Speaker 1: but right now, it's going to stick to my stripes.
24:49
Speaker 2: I do love the stripes.
24:50
Speaker 1: It's very cute, sea and different than just like a
24:54
Speaker 1: plain white duvet. But I've been loving how everyone's like
24:57
Speaker 1: branching out from the basic white and everyone's like trying
25:00
Speaker 1: fun colors out for like bedding or paint colors. Like
25:04
Speaker 1: right now, Zach and I are trying to figure out
25:06
Speaker 1: the pink color that we're going to do in my office,
25:09
Speaker 1: and I've been really wanting to do like a pastel
25:12
Speaker 1: salmon pink for the podcast studio Slash Office, and some
25:17
Speaker 1: of you are like I had a few people message
25:19
Speaker 1: me saying like you're gonna get sick and tired of
25:21
Speaker 1: that real fast, or you should probably stick to more
25:23
Speaker 1: of a neutral palate. But I'm like the point of
25:25
Speaker 1: it is is that I want to do something out
25:28
Speaker 1: of the box that's like not very basic of me.
25:30
Speaker 2: Like I know, I have a very.
25:32
Speaker 1: Minimalistic home and I love it that way, like I
25:34
Speaker 1: do love how it looks, but I do want to
25:37
Speaker 1: go out of the box for this room specifically because
25:39
Speaker 1: I do think it would be fun. And yeah, it's
25:43
Speaker 1: my office, it's a studio. It's just like a different
25:44
Speaker 1: spot in the home. So I feel like it could
25:46
Speaker 1: be fun just to do like a pop of color
25:48
Speaker 1: and make it just feel a.
25:49
Speaker 2: Bit more fun.
25:50
Speaker 1: So yeah, I am trying to find the perfect salmon color.
25:54
Speaker 1: I did like the one that most of you guys liked.
25:56
Speaker 1: I did like a poll on Instagram on my Instagram stories.
25:59
Speaker 1: I'm figuring out what pink color I was going to pick,
26:01
Speaker 1: and most of you guys picked the same one that
26:03
Speaker 1: I picked. But there is another one that I recently
26:06
Speaker 1: came across that I want to compare it with, and
26:09
Speaker 1: then that will be the determining factor of what one
26:12
Speaker 1: we go with. So that could also be a thing
26:13
Speaker 1: if you want to really change it up in your home,
26:16
Speaker 1: adding some color is always fun. Another feel good feeling
26:19
Speaker 1: is actually reaching ten k steps a day, like actually
26:22
Speaker 1: getting outside going for a walk, knowing that you reached
26:25
Speaker 1: the amount of steps that you want to reach for
26:27
Speaker 1: the day. That feeling is the best feeling. And I
26:29
Speaker 1: think now that the weather's actually been nicer, it's been
26:32
Speaker 1: very like motivating to get.
26:35
Speaker 2: Outside, go for a walk.
26:37
Speaker 1: You know. Having my treadmill here is also really nice
26:39
Speaker 1: because again I'm able to have it stack by walking
26:41
Speaker 1: on the treadmill getting worked done at the same time.
26:43
Speaker 1: It's been a game changer. But it just has been
26:46
Speaker 1: feeling really good to yeah, have the warm weather out
26:49
Speaker 1: right now we actually have grass. Wow, cannot believe it.
26:54
Speaker 1: I never thought I would see grass again. It's been
26:57
Speaker 1: so nice to see the snow melting and see some grass.
27:00
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, the best feeling of just knowing that
27:02
Speaker 1: spring is here and that we're so close to summer.
27:05
Speaker 1: And I think we're like ninety two days away from summer,
27:08
Speaker 1: which is so crazy. So I think the warm weather
27:10
Speaker 1: and just like the countdown of summer always just motivates
27:13
Speaker 1: me and pushes me to Yeah, just like do the
27:17
Speaker 1: things that make me feel good, And yeah, the warm
27:20
Speaker 1: weather is definitely very helpful, especially for people who love
27:23
Speaker 1: to walk outside like me. If it's not warm out,
27:27
Speaker 1: I don't want to be outside. It's not enjoyable. I
27:29
Speaker 1: don't like being cold. So when it's warm out and
27:31
Speaker 1: I'm actually able to get outside, move my body, get
27:33
Speaker 1: some fresh air, it is. Yeah, one of the best feelings.
27:36
Speaker 1: The last feel good thing when it comes to the
27:39
Speaker 1: spring season is actually finding a hobby that you enjoy.
27:42
Speaker 1: So right now, Zach and I are actually in the
27:44
Speaker 1: process of finding a hobby that we could do together,
27:47
Speaker 1: and we've been trying to figure out something that we
27:49
Speaker 1: could do Saturday mornings that we can do every single
27:52
Speaker 1: morning for the spring and summer season. I mentioned to
27:55
Speaker 1: him pickleball or tennis, like I would actually go get
27:58
Speaker 1: tennis lessons and you know, do that in the morning
28:01
Speaker 1: with him. He wants to go golfing, which is such
28:04
Speaker 1: a very typical guy response to say, which I'm not
28:08
Speaker 1: opposed to doing golfing. I just don't know if I
28:10
Speaker 1: want that to be our thing in the morning.
28:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.
28:13
Speaker 1: I just think I envisioned something different and I think
28:16
Speaker 1: golf is something that I've done a few times where
28:19
Speaker 1: it's like I feel like and not saying I'm good.
28:21
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not good, but I just feel like it's
28:23
Speaker 1: not something different. It's something that I feel like I've
28:25
Speaker 1: done a few times, but maybe it's different when you're
28:28
Speaker 1: actually consistent with it and doing it every single weekend.
28:31
Speaker 1: But anyways, let me know if you have any fun
28:33
Speaker 1: hobbies that you do with your partner that you would
28:35
Speaker 1: love to recommend to Zach and I because we're trying
28:37
Speaker 1: to find something that we can do in the morning,
28:40
Speaker 1: preferably something that's a bit more active, because we are
28:43
Speaker 1: both very active people, and I think that'd be something
28:45
Speaker 1: that's enjoyable to do on the weekend. Like I picture
28:48
Speaker 1: our summers doing you know, tennis or pick a ball
28:52
Speaker 1: or whatever the hobby is together, going to get coffees,
28:54
Speaker 1: going to you know, the farmer's market, picking out our
28:58
Speaker 1: you know, stuff for the week, and coming home Like
28:59
Speaker 1: that's me beyond perfect. That is like the perfect morning
29:02
Speaker 1: routine on a weekend that I'd love to do with
29:04
Speaker 1: my husband every single morning. So anyways, if you have
29:07
Speaker 1: any fun hobbies, let me know.
29:09
Speaker 2: But yeah, I.
29:10
Speaker 1: Feel like golf is also a little too long, like
29:12
Speaker 1: when you when you're golfing. I mean, we could do
29:14
Speaker 1: a nine hole, which I think would still take at
29:16
Speaker 1: least two to three hours, whereas like an eighteen I
29:21
Speaker 1: think is literally like five to six hours, which is
29:23
Speaker 1: way too long.
29:24
Speaker 2: So anyways, maybe we.
29:26
Speaker 1: Just go to a like putting range and we can
29:29
Speaker 1: you know, hit some balls. I don't know, but we're
29:31
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. But that's something that always
29:34
Speaker 1: feels good is having a hobby for a new season.
29:37
Speaker 1: So that is everything that I thought of when it
29:39
Speaker 1: comes to a feel good checklist. And I kind of
29:41
Speaker 1: made a little twist by making it more spring specific
29:45
Speaker 1: now that we're in the spring season.
