• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah you just needed a little reminder.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: That was really good.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I feel like iconic.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It's just gone so quick.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: It's gone so quick.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild. But as we like to do. In
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: these episodes, we're going to be sharing all of our faves,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: our rex, what we've been watching, reading, shopping, enjoying this month.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So would you like to kick us off? What's your
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: first monthly fave?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, my first monthly fave is a post I saw
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: on Instagram, and it is is there a best time
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: for everything? Here's what science says. Oh my god, so
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the captain says, timing isn't everything. Everything is timing and
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: it's basically pulled in all of the best times to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: like do certain tasks or make certain appointments.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm mad.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Are you locked in?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Number one doctors appointments. Research shows at three pm is
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the Bermuda triangle of healthcare. So anesthesia eras are four
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: times more likely, doctors spot fewer cancers. Hand washing in
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: vaccines rates drop sharply, so morning equals maximum alertness, afternoon
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: avoid anything serious. Okay, it's not meant to scare you,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: but what the hell like the three pm slump also
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: hits the healthcare.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so true. And I always try and go for
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the earliest appointment because then you don't get more Typically,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you don't get the Domino off fat from when people
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: are late and run the doctor's late.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, coffee. Don't drink coffee right after you wake up.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Wait sixty to ninety minutes. Your body's natural alertness hormone
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: cortisole is already high. Caffeine too early actually makes you
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: more tired later. Shit, the shower. I don't know why
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I said it like that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Because it's the best part of the day.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, thank you. So the best time to shower depends
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: on what you want. At night equals sleeping better. Warm
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: water cools your body and signals rest. In the morning,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: it boosts focused. A cooler shower wakes your nervous system up,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: So either works fine, but being consistent allows your body
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to love the routine. Are you a morning or an
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: evening shower?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Evening?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, because you're not good in the mornings.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But also like, well, I would do both if I
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: had the time, but you can't wear them. I can't
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: wake because you're sleepy girl, because I'm sleepy, But I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: could not get into bed without showering like I could not,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Are you and no outside clothes in the bed?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Not?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Really, it's not that serious to me personally.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is probably shocking, but robs are no outside
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: clothes in the bed, but our cats are allowed in
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the bed. Do you know who else has been to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: have peep and pipper paws from their litter box? So
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I'm like, how the fuck does that make sense? Like
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: if I go in the bed, goes those close you
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: water will yes, got but the fucking cat with Peepy
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and pipper paws can go on the bed. Yeah, that
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: makes that makes sense?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: But also do you know what else has been outside
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: into work me? Like, I'm not peeling my skin off
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and jumping in just as a skeleton being like, ah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I would love would have been I'm just gonna throw' say,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: like that would be really nice.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That's what we need.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, technology, I feel like we need something like boo ai,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: let me take my skin off. Yeah, I feel like
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: we could have done something cooler.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Rockout as a skeleton in bed for.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: At Seriously you know that like cartoon that like Halloween cane, Yes,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: skeletons dancing vibe. Yeah, Okay. Exercise the morning equals more
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: discipline and fat burning. You burn up to twenty percent
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: more and stay consistent. However, the afternoon equals performance and enjoyment.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Your muscles are warmer, lungs are stronger, and fewer injuries.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, makes sense.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Naps. The best time to take a nap is apparently
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: between two to three pm. And keep it short.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: How short are we talking?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Ten to twenty minutes equals a focus boost, thirty plus
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: minutes equals a groggy brain. So if you want a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: pro tip, according to this post, try and nappuccino.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I love that napcino.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So drinking is kind of drinking a coffee is the
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: twenty minute nap and you wake up as if you've
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: had a caffeine kick, but without the without the slope.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So new beginnings. If you want to start something new,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: start on a fresh date. Psychologists call it the fresh
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: start effect. Days that feel like new chapters, I e.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Newsday's birthdays, mondays. Your brain loves clean slates, use them.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And yeah that was the last one. I like that, right,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: very good, so efficient. I love a little cheat cheat.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah it fixed my life.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I don't know how with the nap one.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: One time I had a ten minute nap at the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: airport and I can't remember where we were or where
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: we were going. But I woke up and it was
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: like thirty minutes to boarding. We should have been boarding.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I think we're in We're in Europe. Yeah, And I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: woke up and I looked at the screen. I was like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Sally's screen changed and you were like what. And then
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: we had to run through the airport to get.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: To the course because it was Europe.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: We ended up sitting there and waiting for like another
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: twenty five so we ended up sprinting through and then
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: they weren't even bored, and I was like, oh my god.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we got on like a non air
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: conditioned plane with like a warm coke. It was just
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: not optimal.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: That just that just gave me the ship.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like I didn't have a shower.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're in your outside clothes inside your body.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I want to be a skeleton in bed.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, what's your monthly favorite?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: My monthly favorite is something that I've been watching binging,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I dare say, and it is is.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: It like a twenty two episode show.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: There have been a lot of episodes, but not not
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: like that I'm gonna watch your show, not all kind
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of Oh you can have a clue. It's a reality
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: TV show.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Oh is it Real Housewives?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: No, but I want to watch that. I think I'm
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: gonna save that for our trip. I feel like that's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: a good plane show. Don't reckon. Okay, it's something should
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: guess that I would watch or enjoy.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think is it a dating show.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It's a competition show. Okay, Survivor Survivors Survivor season fifty.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Are you serious? Yes, it's on stan and it is
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: so fucking good.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: You need to watch it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I'm just still like really tough with the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: fact that I guess that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, I would love it, would I? Yes, Okay,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it's so good because I feel like that's kind of
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: your vibe. I can actually see you thriving in a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Survivor city.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm not very good when I'm hungry.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: To actually go home after the family. Yeah, but if
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: they were well fed, if you wont every challenge and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you got the rewards, you know, how like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: They what's the reward?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So they're all different like every week, and not.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Do the mind games of it. That's where you thrive
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: social Like, I would feel like really sad if I
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: got voted out.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I watched one last night and like was almost
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: crying because I don't want to give it anything away
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of who it was and whatever, because I was like shocked.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I thought this person was going to win. But they
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: were so devastated and they literally just were like, oh
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: my fucking god, guys, like that was their response, Like
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: they were so betrayed because they.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: All kind of it's a bit like mafia, right, like
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: you all kind of team up and have secret allies.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Have you watched The Vivor before? Oh my god, So
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I watched The Vivor when it first came out in
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the two thousands, like probably like season one or two
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: when it first was on TV when I was a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: little kid, and like loved it then but probably didn't
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: really understand it that much. But me and my sister
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and our neighbors used to play Survivor as well, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: we would like pretend to vote each other half like
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it was a whole thing. Loved it, but then just
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: like fell off because there's been so many seasons and whatnot.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, essentially, if you haven't seen Survivor, this is
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the fiftieth season. It's been running for like twenty years,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and this particular season is almost like an All Stars,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: So they've brought back all of these previous contestants who
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: haven't won, so they really have something to prove, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: then put them all together. And that's interesting as well
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: because obviously then they're all privy to their game and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: their strategies and their strengths.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Like before they've gone on. I wonder if they even
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: knew who it was and they watched their season. Yeah, well,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: what would be your strength? It would be your survivor's strength.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I think I would be good at like the social
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: game in terms of not because obviously there's the part
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: of like you either can be really good at like
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: manipulating people, but also if you're good at.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Like keeping people on your side and kind of going
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: under the radar, you'd be like an under the radar
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: BG that keeps.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: You until the end. And then you build that trial.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: With people that yeah, fucking yapping the whole time.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's so well, And then that happens like some
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: people as well.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: They get cocky and then they tell their strategy.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: To someone and then that person's like me, okay.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: And then they run and tell everyone it's fucking crazy.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm like a disgusting oversharer. Like I don't
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: know why you think it'd be good when the like trials,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: but they're like hanging from a tree. No, no, like
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I get puffed up walking up like two flights of stairs,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: you know, like, no.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Way, I would not survive.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And then like I have to not overshare. How am
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I supposed to bond with anyone? That's crazy? Yeah, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: there's just and then I have to sleep on a leaf. Yeah,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: let's start there. And and then I don't get food.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: And do you know what I realized as well is
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that because one of them, they did like an auction,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: so they all got given money and then they would
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: bring stuff up and it would be like a cheeseburger
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and chips, and like keep in mind, and all they
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: fucking eat is coconut.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: That is it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I don't really like coconut. I like it on like
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a Lamington, but like otherwise on its own all like
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: coconut water, not a fan where all they eat is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: fucking coconut and they're in Fiji, really dangerous.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Did you know that more people die from a coconut
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: than a shark?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you get bunked on the head with a coconut.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's over Red Rover.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But yeah, so they just eat coconut. That's it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: They're doing all of these like strenuous challenges. They're in Fiji,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: fighting the elements, sleeping on like literally the ground. Because
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the thing is obviously these people they need like alliances,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: people who they know are going to vote for them.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: But then also as the season goes on, the last
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's like maybe eight to ten people or
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: something end up on the jury and they decide who
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: wins at the end. So the people that you like
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: really stab anyone in the back because then you'd.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so fucking fascinating.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I think you would really enjoy it. And because this
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: is like an all stars kind of season, all of
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the people on.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: It are really really good players.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Like there's one guy is.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Really really hot, so that's why you watching it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: He's pissing me off at the moment, okay, still lovers. Yeah, yeah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's really good. The premiere averaged five point
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: six million viewers over its three hour premiere episode, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I think like there have been some critiques on it
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: because there's been a few like celeb cameos and stuff
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: that feel a little bit random.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: But was it Mike White, the guy who does White
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Lotus on you?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I've got to mention that. And Mike White from Yeah,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: White Lotus or School of Rock was one of the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: goodness Yeah was he?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah he was famous before he went on Survivor, right yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Think like he was on well he was on School
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: of Rock and then he was on Survivor and then yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: did White Lotus. But yeah, he is a very interesting character.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: But yeah, fuck, it's really really good. So today actually
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the finale comes out, so I don't know how it ends.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: So maybe this was a bit of an early favorite
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: because I technically haven't finished the whole show. But it's
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: really good. Yeah, I love it. I can't wait.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I love this for you. Never picked that?
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: So random?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: What's your next one?
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Okay? My next one is.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Literally a ten out of ten and I'm so happy
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: I discovered it. So my skin at the moment has
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: been on the frits, like my EXMA has been flaring.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I had to get steroid cream for my nipples. It's
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: been a dur knee like very dry. That probably the
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: worst XMA like winter ExM I've ever had in a
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: really long time. And as a result, when you have
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: dry patches or you have dry skin, fake channing just
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: becomes a fucking nightmare. Regardless of whether or not you
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: have XMA. When you have dry skin, fake tanning is
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: like on me, not on anyone else, but it just
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: doesn't end up working well. So I end up not
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: really being able to use any of the foams or
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: anything like that because it's just it just doesn't work
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: on my skin. However, I have just discovered a self
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: tanning milk. So you know how we've been seeing the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: rise of like the road glazing milk, We've been seeing
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: body milks. Bali Body has dropped a self tanning milk
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: for your body, and they've also just launched one for
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: your face. And as soon as I saw this, I
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: was locked the fuck in. I was like, that is
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: exactly what I need. I need a hydrating fake tan
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: and I have found one. It's also super affordable. So
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: the tanning milk is essentially like a moisturizer. It's like
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: a milk. And yes, you can get gradual milk gradual
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: tan moisturizers, but I want that shit from the get go,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I don't want to have to wait five days, right,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: So you basically apply it like you would any tan.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: It is clear, so like you do have to kind
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: of know where you've put it, but your skin's like wet,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: so you can see right. And it has like hyaluronic
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: acid in it, it has seramides, it has all the
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: goodness that also actually helps your skin. But because it's hydrating,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: it doesn't stick to any of my dry patches, which
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: is amazing. And in like four to six hours tan Wow,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: bronze got as so good. You also don't have to
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: wash it off because it just soaks into your skin.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: And they've just launched one for your face as well.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I haven't tried the face one yet, but I've tried
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: the body one and ten out of ten at the moment,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: it's at chemist ware House for eighteen dollars the retail
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: price of it, the RP is twenty five bucks, okay,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: but and then I think the face tanning milk at
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: the moment is fifteen dollars at Chemist Warehouse and so good.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Like the before and afters that they have on their site,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: you can just have a look at them. They're so good. Literally,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: my new go to tan.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I'm excited, yes to try the the face tan because
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: when I have tried them in the past, I always
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: mix them with a moisturizer or something anyway, because they
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: do kind of feel I find sometimes the drops can
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: feel a bit dry on the skin. I don't know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like my face feels a bit tight.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think like mixing it and making it
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: a skin care product as well as a tanning product
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: just kind of solves that problem. I do also really
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: like the Ecotan face water. Yeah, and I just decant
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: that into like a little sprits bottle, which and I
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: just use that, especially if I'm on holidays and I
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: just want to be like, yeah, yeah, it's so good
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and let me see if I can see any.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Of the reviews. Oh.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: It also has vitamin C in it, which brightens your
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: skin and helps to fade imperfections, seramides to support your
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: skin barrier and soothes irritated skin, and then also a
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin. Which I'm like all
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: of the above, please thank you. It is a little
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: bit like because it's a milk, it does need a
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: little bit of time to dry, Like yeah, not insanely long,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: like not longer than like fifteen minutes, but I personally
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: don't put it on and then immediately put clothes on.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: It kind of like ground a little bit. Yeah, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: have you wrote it on Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: yeah I love it, so do it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kin to try.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: My next May favorite is a read and it's the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: book Mad Mabel. Have you seen this?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I've heard of it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: It's by Sally Hatworth.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: So she's an Australian author and she wrote The Good
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Sister and Darling Girls. They're both like pretty popular releases
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: that have come out over the last couple of years.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, she's like a New York Times bestseller. So
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I kind of I got gifted this book actually, but
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: you know, I had read some of our other books
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: and I was like, this is probably going to be
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: pretty good, and I was right. It's got four point
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: four out of five on good Reads and it's really
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: really interesting. It's like kind of a bit of a thriller,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: twists and turns, but it's about.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Like friendship, family and murder. So I have been in mud.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I won't give too much away because obviously I don't
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: want to spoil it for anybody who wants to read it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: But it's about this this lady who's like eighty one
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: years old. Her name's Mabel, and she lives on like
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a kind of like a bustling street in Melbourne, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: she's lived there for years and years, and she has
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: all of these different neighbors, including like you know, the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: cranky old lady who like peers over a fence and
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: once again everybody's business. Yeah, and then like the young
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: single mum who's like also living her best life dating
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: lots of hot man but then has like a young
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: daughter who's kind of like left to her own devices
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and comes over and like annoys the old lady and
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: it's like, let's hang out. And then she's kind of
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: like a fabulous, cranky old lady who just wants to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: be left alone. But then somehow it always ends up
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: in like everybody's business. But in the first couple of
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: chapters there's like, well, there's a murder next door, or
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: there's a death next door that has kind of suspicious yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and who does it's in the first two chapters it's
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: one of her neighbors. So it's the she finds out
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: because the little girl comes over and she's like, let's play,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: let's do blah blah, and she's like, ah, go like
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: babbah old mate next door.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, So she goes next door and there.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And then she's like, well I tried to and like
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: he hasn't answered the door, and then so she goes
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: over and then she can see that he's like dead
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: on the floor. But it jumps in between times of
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: like current day and then when she was growing up,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and you get the sense very early on that she
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: was involved in something a little bit sinister in her past,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: but it may have been a case of revenge for
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: one of her good friends. And it's so so good,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: like it's it's really dry and funny because she is
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: like this cranky old lady who just like gives no shit,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: like she's just like fucking hell.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: But it's really really really fun writing.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but yeah like twists and her and then
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: like yeah, some deeper sad elements like yeah, it's really
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: really good. I really recommend it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Have you finished it?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I'm up to like I think the last three chapters
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: you know who did it? Thing? No? No, so yeah,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I'm very Oh.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: They're really going to because I ask a vill who
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: did it? Yeah, oh no, but.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: It's really good. And then I had another recommendation, but
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: it's kind of I'm kind of cheating because I haven't
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: watched it yet. But do you remember the book Remarkably
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Bright Creatures.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I haven't watched it yet because I was going to
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: wait to see if you wanted to watch it together.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't watched it either, but it's I'm scared.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, I'm scared.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I would be scared. Oh yeah, but yeah. So that
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: book has been adapted into a film that's just come
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: out on Netflix and it starts Sally Field, who amazing
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: from Missus Soutfire. I love her. But it has eighty
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: two percent on Rotten Tomatoes, so I think it's going
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: to be really good, but it's definitely a two jerk.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Have you also seen all the people talking about huge
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: When's new movie, The Sheep Detective.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I really want to see.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I really it as well. We should go.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Apparently like fucking steps on your heart.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently it's like Knives Out meets Paddington, which I
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: don't know how you can mix those two together, but
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to be.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Her My two worlds combining.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not a big fan of Paddington get it.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: More of a Winny the Pool.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: It kind of creeps me out a little bit in
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: the eyes.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Oh his little beady eyes. He's kind of cute. But yeah,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I definitely I'm poo.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: I've never watched Paddington in my life though, so I
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: probably just defended the entire British nation. Apologies, Sorry about that,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Sorry about that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really want to see that. Also, really want
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to watch the new Kylie documentary that just dropped on Netflix.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Apparently it's really good.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Apparently it's really really illuminating. So I'll be watching that
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: this weekend too.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Looked in.
• 23:12

• 24:21
  Speaker 3: fourteen dollars. Like, they have these long sleeves that come
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: in a range of like really good basics colors. They
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: have black, white, cream, brown, whatever you fucking want. They've
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: got scoop neck v neck he neck. I feel like
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I'm the guy at a racetrack that's like an I'm

• 24:40

• 25:24
  Speaker 3: for that, just for shits and gigs. Oh but anyway,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I like, I absolutely rate best and Less. Yeah, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: I ended up buying like four things from there. And
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: in terms of like thickness for the price point, pretty
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: bloody good quality. Seems fits so well, so comfy, great
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: stretch to them. They're like a ribbed cotton long sleep
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: like basic as fuck does the job. But that's what
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: you want, That's what I want. And I've also washed
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: and Reworn and washed and Reworn and they have held
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: their shape so well that. Yes, of course, if you
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: want to spend and invest more in you know, smaller
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: brands or smaller brands basics or more expensive basics, absolutely
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: you can do that. But in Cozi Lives like to
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: be able to get such an affordable item I think
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: is really amazing.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and Best and Less also have good size range,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: don't they.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they come in a size six to twenty six,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: which is also amazing because a lot of the time
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: with you know, smaller brands or even just more expensive brands,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: you don't get that size range, which is incredible and affordable.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: So tick tick love that. Yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I used to love Best and Less as a kid.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: You know what good undies too? Yeah?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: And really yeah, really good socks kids clothes too. Yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Like if you're shopping fig got nieces and nephews.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: And they also have like a bunch of cardigans jeans jumpers,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: fucking rate it go. Yeah, not everything has like the
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: best fabriatione positions or just check like pending on what
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: you're buying. Like a couple of the cardigans were like
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: polyester and stuff. Not everything's one hundred percent natural fibers,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: so do just make sure you check it before you
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: buy anything. But yeah, rd it.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Well, how's how I might be fucking allergic to Wait?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Did we investigate this any further? Yes, okay, I've been
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: so you're allergic to war?
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure, Like, maybe I need to go
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to a doctor and get one of those like allergy tests.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe we can both do that. We can book it
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: together and get it done, cause you need to get
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: done too. But yeah, I've tried some other things. The
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: other day, I was wearing a jumper that was I
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: was fifteen percent.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Wall and you got sneezy again yeap, and my.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Eyes got all itchy. Yeah, I think I'm allergic to wall.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, fuck, maybe I'm going to be have
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: to going for the Polleys, like I have no what
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: else am I to do? I would love to hear
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: some recommendations. Maybe I have to try Kashmir and see
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: if that. But also I'm like, I don't know, I'll
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: try the like the Target Cashmere that's a little bit more,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: or the Kmart.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Cash Have you not tried the Uniclo Cashmi.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've worn it for a full day
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and a day? Yeah?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh there you go.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I really rocked my world. Okay. My final May favorite
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: is Beauty Wreck and it's the clinic even better foundation.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Oh have you tried this before?
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Not yet?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So we got sent.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: For a foundation though.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, and I used to be like a
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: ride or die. But I feel like I've been trying.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: To mix it up now, like mixing art foundations.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and also like for different seasons of the year
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: or even just like why not just see what's out there.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: But I'd never I warn Clinic Foundations before. Clinic was
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: actually the first foundation I ever wore.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: They did my formal makeup.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: They did my formal makeup too, Like I went into
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Amyra and oh my god, so today, oh my god, god,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I love that. Like the week is not like somewhere
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: that you think so good. Yeah, I U still love
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: doing that.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Someone's like a point where they didn't want because I
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: like was so tyight B and I just like didn't
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: book and then everyone everyone was booked out the day
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: of formal and someone was like, well I booked two,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: so you can have my clinique one. And so then
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I went and got my makeup done a clinique.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: How fab love that. Also loved getting my makeup done
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: at the mac counter and they would beat your face
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: the fuck down really really good. But anyway back to
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the Foundation, So they did very generously gift us some
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: of their cult fake products, and one of them was
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: the even better foundation. I'd never tried this one before,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: but I was like, why not. It's sixty three dollars,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: so I would say a little bit more on the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: expensive side. However, when I was looking it up this week,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: it was on sale for over forty percent off on
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: a door, so it was like thirty six dollars and
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: sixty five cents. I was like, Oh my god. And
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: like Adoor Beauty does sales all the time, and it's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: stocked in lots of different places, so you definite would
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: be able to get it on sale. But it has
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: like a lightweight, more medium coverage. I would say that
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: it is probably a little bit more Mate than some
• 30:07
