Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: howgrel 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,
0:22
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day. If you'd become the
0:24
Speaker 1: howgrel energy you want to attract. Hello you guys, welcome
0:28
Speaker 1: back to another episode. I unfortunately am very sick. I
0:34
Speaker 1: feel like I definitely haven't looked sick on my socials,
0:37
Speaker 1: but I have been sick these past few days. I
0:40
Speaker 1: think with the weather changing and we just had a
0:43
Speaker 1: really busy October, I think there was a few factors
0:46
Speaker 1: that kind of came into play. So that's I guess
0:48
Speaker 1: one con of going into fall is that sometimes it's
0:52
Speaker 1: just the time of the year of expecting to get
0:55
Speaker 1: a cold potentially. So yeah, it's been a rough few
1:00
Speaker 1: days just because you know, I have a sore throat,
1:04
Speaker 1: a runny nose, headaches, no energy, all that. Like, I've
1:08
Speaker 1: really just been trying to force my body to relax.
1:11
Speaker 1: I've been doing pilates classes, but haven't been to spin
1:14
Speaker 1: co and yeah, just kind of taking things slow here.
1:18
Speaker 1: I've been trying to go on walks and just kind
1:20
Speaker 1: of get outside a bit, and yeah, so it's been
1:24
Speaker 1: an interesting past few days, but that's okay. I'm trying
1:27
Speaker 1: to stay positive. I am feeling a lot better today,
1:29
Speaker 1: which is good. So yeah, I've just been trying to
1:31
Speaker 1: rest and I feel like that's always hard for me
1:33
Speaker 1: because I feel like I'm always that kind of person
1:35
Speaker 1: where I'm always on the go, wanting to get work
1:38
Speaker 1: done all that, and I've kind of had to tell
1:40
Speaker 1: my body to relax and not push it too much.
1:44
Speaker 1: But anyways, today is such a weird day because it
1:47
Speaker 1: is literally twenty two degrees out twenty two degrees, which
1:50
Speaker 1: is so crazy because usually in October almost November, I
1:54
Speaker 1: don't think it's ever ever ever been this warm in Ottawa,
1:58
Speaker 1: Like usually it's about ten to like twelve degrees, So
2:02
Speaker 1: the fact that it's twenty two today is mind blowing
2:04
Speaker 1: to me. And then tomorrow it's supposed to be twenty one,
2:06
Speaker 1: and the following day it's supposed.
2:08
Speaker 2: To be eight degrees.
2:09
Speaker 1: So I don't really understand what's going on with our weather.
2:12
Speaker 1: It's like warm for a few days, then dramatically goes
2:15
Speaker 1: to cold, and then next week it's gonna be seventeen
2:18
Speaker 1: and then the following day, it's gonna.
2:19
Speaker 2: Be like ten.
2:20
Speaker 1: It's a very weird weather pattern that's going on, but
2:23
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining with twenty two degrees. Let me tell you,
2:25
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be going on a nice long walk today,
2:27
Speaker 1: so I'm.
2:28
Speaker 2: Excited about that.
2:29
Speaker 1: But I hope you guys are having an amazing week
2:31
Speaker 1: so far. I really wanted to make this episode about
2:34
Speaker 1: some things that I've recently included into my routine, So
2:38
Speaker 1: just like new healthy habits or new products that I've
2:42
Speaker 1: implemented into my daily routine, as well as some things
2:46
Speaker 1: for girls that are looking to start their wellness journey
2:49
Speaker 1: or just need some inspo for new product or honestly
2:53
Speaker 1: just to get back into a wellness routine. I feel
2:55
Speaker 1: like everybody goes through periods of time where they feel like,
2:58
Speaker 1: you know, things are getting repaired, or it's just like
3:02
Speaker 1: not feeling inspirational anymore. And I feel like sometimes investing
3:06
Speaker 1: in new things or changing things up can really remotivate
3:09
Speaker 1: yourself to get back into a healthy mindset or a
3:12
Speaker 1: healthy routine. So that's what today's episode's really going to
3:15
Speaker 1: be about, is just really discovering yourself and seeing if okay,
3:18
Speaker 1: do I want to change things up. Do I want
3:20
Speaker 1: to add things to my routine. I personally think it's
3:23
Speaker 1: always better to try and change things up ever so often,
3:27
Speaker 1: because I feel like that reinspires.
3:29
Speaker 2: You to get into a routine.
3:30
Speaker 1: I think for me personally, I talked about in an
3:32
Speaker 1: episode previously, but I was out of my journaling routine
3:36
Speaker 1: for about six weeks if not more, and I felt
3:40
Speaker 1: reinspired to buy a new journal and get back into
3:43
Speaker 1: my journaling routine. And I feel like that's been really
3:45
Speaker 1: inspiring for me lately, is because you know, it's something
3:48
Speaker 1: that I haven't done in a while, and getting back
3:50
Speaker 1: into it it just feels really really good. And then
3:53
Speaker 1: I've also included some other new things, which again has
3:55
Speaker 1: just really reinspired me to continue, you know, getting into
3:59
Speaker 1: my healthy routine and all that. So we're gonna talk
4:02
Speaker 1: a little bit about that in today's episode, and yeah,
4:05
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to get into it. Before we get
4:07
Speaker 1: into this episode, I also just want to talk about
4:09
Speaker 1: how it's literally the end of October. How the heck
4:13
Speaker 1: did it just fly by so fast? I cannot believe
4:16
Speaker 1: Halloween is literally right around the corner. And once Halloween
4:19
Speaker 1: is over, everybody's gonna be talking about Christmas.
4:22
Speaker 2: I will not lie. I have already.
4:24
Speaker 1: Started to order some Christmas stuff, now hear me out.
4:27
Speaker 1: I don't typically order or buy things for Christmas before Halloween,
4:32
Speaker 1: but I will say that a lot of the good
4:34
Speaker 1: decore pieces are out before and I feel like things
4:38
Speaker 1: just sell out really fast right after Halloween because everybody's
4:41
Speaker 1: in that mindset of Okay, we need to prep for
4:45
Speaker 1: the holidays, like what do we need for decor wise
4:47
Speaker 1: all that. So if you can be a bit of
4:48
Speaker 1: ahead of the game and try and purchase things, yeah,
4:51
Speaker 1: as soon as you can when things are out, I
4:53
Speaker 1: think that's the most beneficial. So I did stumble upon
4:57
Speaker 1: home Sence last week. You guys saw my TikTok. You
5:00
Speaker 1: guys definitely know, but I found a few things that
5:03
Speaker 1: I was looking for. One specifically, I was looking for
5:05
Speaker 1: a reindeer for the front of our house because I
5:08
Speaker 1: don't really have much outdoor decor. I really focused on
5:11
Speaker 1: the inside for the past two years because obviously moving
5:15
Speaker 1: into a new house. I'm sure you guys can agree
5:16
Speaker 1: to this, but when you move into a new home,
5:19
Speaker 1: you obviously have no Christmas decor and you're starting from
5:21
Speaker 1: scratch and let me tell you, Christmas decor is not cheap.
5:25
Speaker 2: It is so freakin' expensive.
5:27
Speaker 1: The Christmas tree, garland, wreaths, like it really does add up.
5:32
Speaker 1: It's taken me two full years to finally get the
5:34
Speaker 1: house fully decorated. I still think I might need a
5:37
Speaker 1: few things in the house, but not much, like very
5:39
Speaker 1: minor details. But my outdoor decor is very much lacking,
5:44
Speaker 1: like I need to spice it up this year. So
5:47
Speaker 1: I really really wanted to get a reindeer, which I found,
5:50
Speaker 1: so I was very happy about that, and then just
5:52
Speaker 1: little decore pieces for the inside of the house. I
5:55
Speaker 1: am excited though, because Zach and I this weekend, I
5:57
Speaker 1: think we're going to the States to go Christmas to
6:00
Speaker 1: core shopping. We usually go around this time of the
6:02
Speaker 1: year to yeah, just kind of stock up on some
6:06
Speaker 1: food items because you know, there's certain things in the
6:08
Speaker 1: States that we don't have here, so like Trader Joe's
6:12
Speaker 1: Target all that. I'm definitely excited just to stock up
6:14
Speaker 1: on a few things. And then I also love to
6:17
Speaker 1: check out the McGee and Co. Which is do you
6:21
Speaker 1: guys know, Studio McGee. She's a interior designer. She has
6:25
Speaker 1: her own Netflix show all that I love, love love
6:28
Speaker 1: her Home to Core pieces and her Christmas stuff is
6:30
Speaker 1: always just so good. So I'm going to be going
6:34
Speaker 1: to Target and checking out that section because I think
6:36
Speaker 1: that's always a fun thing to do. But anyways, the
6:39
Speaker 1: whole point of me bringing this up was I just
6:40
Speaker 1: cannot believe how we all talk about Fall and Halloween
6:44
Speaker 1: for such a short period of time, and then as
6:46
Speaker 1: soon as November first hits, for the next two months,
6:48
Speaker 1: it's all about Christmas. So anyways, I'm very excited to
6:52
Speaker 1: get into Christmas content and just talk about the holidays.
6:55
Speaker 1: It's another time of the year that everyone looks forward
6:57
Speaker 1: to and it's just exciting and fun and spending time
6:59
Speaker 1: with family and all that. So I'm very much looking
7:02
Speaker 1: forward to the Holidays, And to be honest, I'm like ready,
7:06
Speaker 1: I'm so.
7:06
Speaker 2: Ready for vlog miss vlogs.
7:08
Speaker 1: Like just decorating the house all that. Like, I think
7:11
Speaker 1: I'm taking down my Fall to Core probably on Friday.
7:14
Speaker 1: Within these next few days, I'm definitely gonna take the
7:16
Speaker 1: stuff down and prep the house for Christmas to Core.
7:20
Speaker 1: And Zach's been on me, He's like, I don't want
7:22
Speaker 1: to decorate too early.
7:23
Speaker 2: This year.
7:24
Speaker 1: But like, come on, Like, when you put that much
7:27
Speaker 1: effort in a house, like you might as well put
7:29
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree up as soon as you can when
7:31
Speaker 1: November comes. I don't know if anyone else feels that way,
7:33
Speaker 1: but I feel like we put so much effort in
7:35
Speaker 1: putting these decorations up that it's like I want it
7:37
Speaker 1: in the house for a period of time. Like I
7:39
Speaker 1: don't want it for just you know, three weeks. I
7:41
Speaker 1: want it for like three months if I could. But anyways,
7:44
Speaker 1: I love the way the house feels during the holidays.
7:47
Speaker 1: I find it's so cozy and it just makes me
7:49
Speaker 1: so happy. There's just a feeling that I cannot describe,
7:51
Speaker 1: but you guys get it. When the Christmas tree is up,
7:53
Speaker 1: the fireplace is lit, everything's all set up, the coziness
7:57
Speaker 1: just is like next level. I know some of you
7:59
Speaker 1: are probably like Achilles, stopped talking about Christmas. We're still
8:02
Speaker 1: in fall. You're still in fall modes. So I'm going
8:04
Speaker 1: to stop talking about it. But I just wanted to
8:06
Speaker 1: give a little sneak peek of yeah, just what to
8:09
Speaker 1: look forward to. But anyways, let's get into some hawk
8:12
Speaker 1: girl healthy habits and wellness needs. Everything you need to
8:15
Speaker 1: become the ultimate IT girl. So let's talk about some
8:18
Speaker 1: things that I've recently included into my routine. These are
8:21
Speaker 1: some daily habits that I've recently included in my YouTube
8:25
Speaker 1: video of my morning routine.
8:26
Speaker 2: But there's some things that I.
8:28
Speaker 1: Haven't talked about because that was filmed I think three
8:31
Speaker 1: weeks ago. So it's amazing how you know a few
8:34
Speaker 1: things can change within three weeks. But I placed some
8:37
Speaker 1: online orders on Amazon as well as a website called
8:41
Speaker 1: I think it's called Nature Sante's a Montreal company. Anyways,
8:46
Speaker 1: I recently ordered the Coconut Cult probiotic. I don't know
8:50
Speaker 1: if you guys know that brand at all, but you
8:53
Speaker 1: guys know I've talked about supplements in the past, but
8:54
Speaker 1: a probiotic is great for your gut health, great for
8:57
Speaker 1: your skin. There's just a lot of benefits to taking
9:00
Speaker 1: a probiotic, and I'm all about my gut health, especially
9:03
Speaker 1: like right now with me being sick, I've been really
9:05
Speaker 1: trying to focus on taking my probiotic every single day,
9:08
Speaker 1: saying consistent with it. And the benefit of taking Coconut
9:11
Speaker 1: Cult versus like a probiotic vitamin is honestly, it tastes
9:16
Speaker 1: really good, Like having a spoonful of something super flavorful
9:19
Speaker 1: in the morning is kind of fun and exciting. So
9:22
Speaker 1: I got two different flavors. I got the berry and
9:25
Speaker 1: the chocolate yogurt, So essentially it's a yogurt brand. They
9:28
Speaker 1: have different types of flavors, and I got those two
9:32
Speaker 1: flavors out of their I think they have like ten
9:34
Speaker 1: different flavors. They've recently became really trendy because some girl
9:38
Speaker 1: on TikTok that I follow. Her name is Tatiana. She recently,
9:42
Speaker 1: you know, talked about the hype of coconut cult and
9:44
Speaker 1: sea moss. Sea moss is another thing that I've been
9:47
Speaker 1: wanting to do a bit more research on. I haven't
9:48
Speaker 1: purchased it myself, but again, it's a huge benefit to
9:52
Speaker 1: your skin and I think overall health as well. But
9:56
Speaker 1: she did a TikTok talking about coconut cult and sea moss,
9:59
Speaker 1: and the whole video just went viral and everybody started
10:02
Speaker 1: to jump on the coconut cult gang. I will say
10:05
Speaker 1: that I've seen a few other people talk about coconut
10:07
Speaker 1: cult as well, but I feel like recently it's gone
10:09
Speaker 1: viral because of her video. So Anyways, I decided to
10:13
Speaker 1: try it out. I actually didn't know it was available
10:15
Speaker 1: in Canada until I found an online website that carries it,
10:18
Speaker 1: which is nature Sante, which is based in Montreal.
10:22
Speaker 2: And it did take four weeks.
10:23
Speaker 1: To come in just because the company based in Montreal
10:26
Speaker 1: was constantly texting me just saying like.
10:28
Speaker 2: Hey, Kiley, like we have your order. However, like we've.
10:30
Speaker 1: Been having a high demand of coconut cult orders within
10:33
Speaker 1: these past few weeks, so we keep running out of stock,
10:36
Speaker 1: but like we promise we'll get it to you whatever.
10:38
Speaker 1: So totally understandable. It's a small business, Like I get it.
10:41
Speaker 1: I worked for a small business in the past, so
10:44
Speaker 1: you know, keeping up with demand and not having enough
10:47
Speaker 1: suppli is definitely hard.
10:49
Speaker 2: So I was.
10:50
Speaker 1: Very respectful and very understandable. But anyways, eventually I got
10:53
Speaker 1: the product and I've been using it now for the
10:55
Speaker 1: past week and a half. Yeah, I would say week
10:58
Speaker 1: and a half. Basically, I cannot give my full review yet,
11:01
Speaker 1: but I will say the first two days that I
11:04
Speaker 1: took it, I actually felt a bit of a burning
11:06
Speaker 1: sensation in my throat and stomach, which I was like, hmm,
11:09
Speaker 1: this is kind of weird. Like maybe it's because you know,
11:12
Speaker 1: it's something that my body is it used to, but
11:15
Speaker 1: now taking it, it just tastes like a spoonful of
11:17
Speaker 1: yummy yogurt. And yeah, so again not going to say
11:21
Speaker 1: I have all these benefits yet. I think I'm gonna
11:23
Speaker 1: have to take it consistently for at least a month
11:25
Speaker 1: to really notice any difference. But it tastes really good
11:29
Speaker 1: and there's fun flavors, and I feel like it's been
11:31
Speaker 1: something that I've really been looking forward to in the morning,
11:34
Speaker 1: so I take it on an empty stomach before breakfast,
11:37
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know, I just have been really
11:39
Speaker 1: liking it. I will say, though, I did talk about
11:41
Speaker 1: my recent YouTube video that I've been kind of cutting
11:44
Speaker 1: back on supplements, so I'm talking greens, you know, any
11:49
Speaker 1: type of vitamins, anything like that, because I really want
11:52
Speaker 1: to get my blood work done. I actually have a
11:54
Speaker 1: doctor's appointment booked, but I don't know if you guys
11:57
Speaker 1: have any issues with getting in with your doctor, but
12:00
Speaker 1: my doctor's fully booked, Like it takes like four to
12:02
Speaker 1: six months even get an appointment with her. So yeah,
12:05
Speaker 1: it kind of sucks, but it is what it is.
12:07
Speaker 1: So it's been really hard to get an appointment with her.
12:10
Speaker 1: But I've been wanting to get blood work done because
12:12
Speaker 1: I want to know what my body actually needs, Like
12:15
Speaker 1: do I need more magnesium?
12:16
Speaker 2: Do I need you know? Do I have low iron?
12:18
Speaker 1: Like? I want to know exactly what I need because
12:21
Speaker 1: I feel like just taking these vitamins thinking oh, like
12:24
Speaker 1: this is going to help my energy levels or oh
12:27
Speaker 1: this is going to help my mood or whatever it is.
12:29
Speaker 2: Like the reality is is that if you.
12:30
Speaker 1: Don't know your body and you're taking these vitamins, it's
12:33
Speaker 1: not going to help anything. So in my opinion, do
12:36
Speaker 1: your own research figure it out, Like, don't just buy
12:39
Speaker 1: these vitamins and supplements, because let's also be honest, supplements
12:42
Speaker 1: are not cheap. They are extremely expensive. So I think
12:45
Speaker 1: truly just figuring out your body, figuring out what you
12:48
Speaker 1: need is the most important thing. So if you haven't
12:51
Speaker 1: done so, book a doctor's appointment or book a place
12:55
Speaker 1: that you can get blood work done and just see
12:57
Speaker 1: exactly what you need. So that's what I'm personally doing. Again,
13:00
Speaker 1: you do you, but I'm just telling you guys what
13:02
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do, and yeah, I just think it's
13:05
Speaker 1: gonna be beneficial knowing exactly everything I need and that way
13:08
Speaker 1: I can actually treat my body what it needs. So yeah,
13:12
Speaker 1: that's a little update on my supplement journey. Another thing
13:15
Speaker 1: that I've recently included into my routine is tongue scraping.
13:19
Speaker 1: I cannot rave about a product more like I'm trying
13:23
Speaker 1: to get Zach on this.
13:24
Speaker 2: He thinks it's disgusting.
13:25
Speaker 1: But the benefit to the tongue scraping is that you
13:28
Speaker 1: have so much bacteria and germs on your tongue that
13:30
Speaker 1: you don't even know. And you know, I came across
13:34
Speaker 1: I think it was an Instagram reel of a doctor
13:36
Speaker 1: just talking about it, and it made me realize that
13:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, I need a tongue scraper, Like why am
13:42
Speaker 1: I not getting one?
13:43
Speaker 2: And even being sick right now?
13:45
Speaker 1: Like Zach's very, very sick, and yes I'm sick, but
13:50
Speaker 1: I would say he's like way worse than me, Like
13:52
Speaker 1: he's got like the body aches, the fever, like way worse.
13:55
Speaker 2: Than what I have.
13:57
Speaker 1: And I personally think that because I've been like taking
14:00
Speaker 1: a probiotic and you know, just doing other benefits like
14:03
Speaker 1: tongue scraping, just like those little things that I do
14:06
Speaker 1: consistently in the morning. Like, I personally think I'm not
14:09
Speaker 1: as sick because I've been taking care of myself consistently,
14:12
Speaker 1: So I do think there is a benefit to doing
14:14
Speaker 1: these daily habits in the morning. Is obviously to prevent
14:16
Speaker 1: getting sick, to help your overall health, to help your skin,
14:20
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, all the benefits. But yeah, like Zach
14:23
Speaker 1: obviously doesn't really do any of that. So I'm like, babe,
14:27
Speaker 1: you gotta start taking a probiotic. You gotta start getting
14:30
Speaker 1: a tongue scraper.
14:31
Speaker 2: Like I don't know.
14:32
Speaker 1: I feel like you guys can probably really if you
14:35
Speaker 1: have a partner, But I feel like the guys just
14:36
Speaker 1: they don't get it. They don't get it. But in
14:39
Speaker 1: my opinion, using a tongue scraper is essential and I've
14:43
Speaker 1: been loving it. Another thing I've been doing every single
14:46
Speaker 1: morning is I've been having green tea before my coffee.
14:50
Speaker 1: So green Tea's benefits to taking this is attention and focus.
14:55
Speaker 1: And I don't think I've ever talked about this on
14:57
Speaker 1: the podcast, but I actually have adhd huh surprise. I
15:02
Speaker 1: feel like you guys could probably tell because sometimes I
15:05
Speaker 1: go off topic or go off track when I'm talking
15:07
Speaker 1: on the podcast, But I yeah have severe ADHD. I
15:12
Speaker 1: grew up with it in high school always, you know,
15:15
Speaker 1: was embarrassed by it and was always a struggle. But
15:18
Speaker 1: I think now being an adult, I've realized how many
15:21
Speaker 1: other people also had ADHD and how common it is
15:24
Speaker 1: to have it. But I feel like this actually helps
15:26
Speaker 1: me in the morning, taking this consistently every single morning,
15:30
Speaker 1: because I do find I pay more attention to detail
15:32
Speaker 1: and just focus a bit more than what I usually do.
15:35
Speaker 1: Like I'll notice if I go off track with not
15:37
Speaker 1: drinking tea in the morning, I feel like my brain's
15:40
Speaker 1: all scattered. I'm not organized, I'm not on top of shit.
15:42
Speaker 1: When I feel like I am drinking my tea consistently,
15:45
Speaker 1: I just feel like I pay attention to just like
15:48
Speaker 1: everything I have to get done throughout the day. I'm
15:50
Speaker 1: more consistent with just daily habits in the morning, just
15:53
Speaker 1: like knowing like Okay, oh I got to get this
15:55
Speaker 1: done for work today, Oh I got to record the
15:57
Speaker 1: podcast today. I just feel like I'm paying more attention,
16:00
Speaker 1: We're focused, and we're organized on what I have to
16:02
Speaker 1: get done for the day. So green tea is a
16:05
Speaker 1: huge benefit. I have a tea in the morning and
16:08
Speaker 1: a tea at night. I also take a night tea,
16:10
Speaker 1: which honestly varies. I take a peppermint tea, a dandelion tea,
16:13
Speaker 1: Spearman tea, or there's one called Nighty Night, which I
16:17
Speaker 1: believe has Camo meal in it. I'm kind of scattered
16:20
Speaker 1: at night because I don't really care. I just like
16:21
Speaker 1: want a tea at night because I feel like a
16:23
Speaker 1: tea after dinner is so soothing and calming, whereas in
16:27
Speaker 1: the morning I take a green tea for the benefits,
16:30
Speaker 1: which is focus and attention. So anyways, that's something I
16:33
Speaker 1: feel like I haven't really talked about, but that's something
16:35
Speaker 1: I've been doing every single morning, I would say for
16:38
Speaker 1: like the past three months. I actually started two months
16:42
Speaker 1: before the wedding, and I don't know, I just think
16:45
Speaker 1: it's made a huge difference in, yeah, a lot of things.
16:49
Speaker 1: Another thing that I have been doing consistently is reformer pilates.
16:54
Speaker 1: I want to talk about reformer pilates for a second,
16:56
Speaker 1: because I've always been a pilates girl. You guys know
16:59
Speaker 1: that I've always done plates at home, but I've never
17:02
Speaker 1: done the reformer machine until earlier this year when a
17:05
Speaker 1: studio opened up by my house and I felt like
17:08
Speaker 1: it was just meant to be, I had to go
17:09
Speaker 1: try it out. And I just want to say that
17:12
Speaker 1: I don't really talk about physical change when it comes
17:15
Speaker 1: to my body, because at the end of the day,
17:17
Speaker 1: you guys know that I don't work out for how
17:20
Speaker 1: I look. I work out for how I feel personally.
17:22
Speaker 1: Like working out helps my mental health, it helps my anxiety. Obviously,
17:26
Speaker 1: just moving your body in general is just great for
17:28
Speaker 1: your overall health. And of course I would say yes,
17:31
Speaker 1: like working out helps my physical appearance as well, but
17:33
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that's the main reason as to why
17:36
Speaker 1: I work out. But once I started to include reformer plates,
17:40
Speaker 1: the definition that I've been seeing in my ABS is insane,
17:45
Speaker 1: like insane, and I'm not gonna lie. Like the first
17:47
Speaker 1: few times I did reformer plates, I was kind of like, okay,
17:50
Speaker 1: like I'm not really like feeling the burn, you know
17:53
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like I wasn't really like feeling the
17:56
Speaker 1: sweat because it's not really a sweat, like depending on
17:58
Speaker 1: the class that you do, it's more like working muscles
18:01
Speaker 1: that you don't typically work and also finding the instructors
18:05
Speaker 1: that work for you. So I feel like that's the
18:07
Speaker 1: same thing with spin cut, like there's certain instructors that
18:09
Speaker 1: I like more there just to get a good sweat,
18:12
Speaker 1: and the same thing with reformer plates. I feel like
18:14
Speaker 1: if you do workout classes consistently, you're always gonna find
18:17
Speaker 1: instructors that you find works better for you versus other ones.
18:20
Speaker 2: And that's just the reality.
18:22
Speaker 1: So for me, I finally found instructors that I liked
18:24
Speaker 1: at Reformer pilates and different types of workouts. So they
18:29
Speaker 1: have full body, they have bood Delicious, they have jump board,
18:32
Speaker 1: which jump board is personally my favorite because you're getting
18:34
Speaker 1: cardio in on top of a burn, and then the
18:38
Speaker 1: full body is usually more of a slower pace, but
18:40
Speaker 1: you feel just certain muscles.
18:42
Speaker 2: That you don't typically work.
18:43
Speaker 1: I would say now I probably do Reformers Pilates consistently
18:47
Speaker 1: three times a week and spin coat three times a week.
18:49
Speaker 1: I have to say this, but I don't think I've
18:51
Speaker 1: ever seen my body so toned in my life. And
18:53
Speaker 1: that is truthfully because I've been so consistent with this routine.
18:57
Speaker 1: So I highly highly recommend booking a Reformers Pilates class
19:02
Speaker 1: if you've never tried it.
19:04
Speaker 2: Trust me, it definitely feels weird in the beginning.
19:06
Speaker 1: And again, some people may not think it's that great
19:08
Speaker 1: of a burn because it is such a like interesting workout,
19:12
Speaker 1: but trust me, when you start going to the more
19:16
Speaker 1: intense classes, you will realize how good of a burn
19:19
Speaker 1: it actually is. I just thought I would bring that
19:21
Speaker 1: up because I feel like a lot of people sometimes
19:22
Speaker 1: ask me questions on what kind of workouts I prefer
19:25
Speaker 1: or enjoy or seeing the best results. And I have
19:28
Speaker 1: done a lot of different workouts. I've done at home,
19:30
Speaker 1: workouts I've done, you know, the gym, like I've done
19:34
Speaker 1: lifting heavy Lifting heavy was never something.
19:36
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed.
19:37
Speaker 1: I think I started to do it during COVID and
19:39
Speaker 1: then realized that it wasn't for me just because I
19:42
Speaker 1: didn't enjoy doing it. And that's okay, what I say.
19:45
Speaker 1: My results were good, yeah, but I would prefer my
19:48
Speaker 1: results now in terms of how I feel and just yeah,
19:52
Speaker 1: the definition and tone that I'm seeing with pilates. But
19:55
Speaker 1: if you're a Jim Girley and love to live heavyweights,
19:57
Speaker 1: like that's amazing. Everybody has their own thing, Like, everybody
20:01
Speaker 1: loves different kind of workouts, and everyone's going to see
20:03
Speaker 1: different kinds of results for themselves as well, So it's
20:06
Speaker 1: all based on your preference. But even at home workouts,
20:09
Speaker 1: like I was a huge at home workout girl, like
20:11
Speaker 1: I still love form, however, I just personally feel like
20:14
Speaker 1: I've been seeing a huge difference in going to reformer
20:18
Speaker 1: plates and also I've just been enjoying to get out
20:21
Speaker 1: of the house and having that social interaction with people,
20:23
Speaker 1: getting a good sweat in all that, so I find
20:26
Speaker 1: workout classes are so motivating and just meeting people and
20:30
Speaker 1: again getting out of the house getting a good sweat.
20:32
Speaker 1: I'm a big workout class girl now and that is
20:35
Speaker 1: my new favorite thing and I hope to consistently do
20:37
Speaker 1: it for a long period of time. So I would
20:40
Speaker 1: say those are like the four newest things going into
20:42
Speaker 1: this year that I've taken very consistently and have noticed
20:46
Speaker 1: like dramatic changes. Like obviously the first two things that
20:49
Speaker 1: I've recently started, the tongue screaping and the probiotic I
20:51
Speaker 1: can't speak much on yet, but two new things that
20:54
Speaker 1: I think it's going to honestly be a consistent thing
20:56
Speaker 1: in my routine moving forward. But now let's talk about
20:59
Speaker 1: some wellness things that I've been loving that I think
21:01
Speaker 1: every girly needs, especially people who are looking to feel
21:04
Speaker 1: reinspired or just started their wellness journey and don't know
21:07
Speaker 1: where to start. For me personally, I think every girl
21:10
Speaker 1: needs a good activewar set. Something about activewear that's so
21:14
Speaker 1: motivating is putting on a cute matching set, like I'm
21:17
Speaker 1: gonna be fully transparent.
21:18
Speaker 2: That's just the way it is.
21:20
Speaker 1: I feel like putting on a matching jacket with the
21:22
Speaker 1: bra and the leggings, I feel put together, i feel motivated.
21:25
Speaker 1: I'm like, get me to a workout class. Let's get
21:27
Speaker 1: it done. Two brands that I've been recently loving is Aritzia.
21:31
Speaker 1: They have really good active wear. I will say it's
21:33
Speaker 1: one of my favorites, to be honest. The colors are
21:35
Speaker 1: so nice, the prices are pretty fair as well. Another
21:39
Speaker 1: brand is Form. I'm sure you guys know Sammy Clark's brand.
21:42
Speaker 1: They recently came out with an activewear line and their
21:45
Speaker 1: sports bras are insane. They're so good. The quality is
21:49
Speaker 1: ten out of ten. And then obviously there's Lululemon and Alo,
21:52
Speaker 1: which are just like other very basic brand names, which
21:55
Speaker 1: you guys, I'm sure I have heard of. I also
21:57
Speaker 1: love Cropshop Boutique, which is based in Australia. They're probably
22:00
Speaker 1: one of my favorites and I probably wear them the
22:02
Speaker 1: most consistently because it's so like trendy and fashionable, which
22:07
Speaker 1: I love and yeah, just.
22:09
Speaker 2: Great overall support.
22:11
Speaker 1: What I love about CSB is that that is one
22:13
Speaker 1: brand that I never sweat through. So you know, when
22:16
Speaker 1: you sweat so much and you can see the sweat
22:18
Speaker 1: marks like on your legs or on your bra, when
22:21
Speaker 1: I wear CSB, you cannot see any sweat ever. Like
22:24
Speaker 1: I wore a light pair of gray leggings the other
22:27
Speaker 1: day and some girl came up to me and she's like,
22:29
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I love your leggings. Where are they from.
22:31
Speaker 1: I said, oh, they're from crop Shop Boutique. She's like,
22:33
Speaker 1: oh my god, I would love to wear something like that,
22:35
Speaker 1: but I would sweat right through that. I'm like, no, girl, like,
22:37
Speaker 1: watch after the class, like you'll see my legs. They
22:40
Speaker 1: are not going to be like you're not going to
22:42
Speaker 1: see the sweat through it, Like I sweat a lot
22:44
Speaker 1: at spin Cot, but these leggings, like they do not
22:47
Speaker 1: They're not like you cannot see the sweat at all. Anyway,
22:50
Speaker 1: she comes to see me after the class and she's like,
22:51
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like you can't see the sweat. I'm like,
22:53
Speaker 1: I told you, Like it's really thick material. It's a
22:56
Speaker 1: really really good brand. So anyways, I think she honestly
22:58
Speaker 1: went to go buy them after because she was so pressed.
23:00
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that's a great selling point with
23:04
Speaker 1: CSB is that you never sweat through it and it
23:07
Speaker 1: always looks ten out of ten. Another wellness thing that
23:10
Speaker 1: I think every girl needs is Bala Bangles and weights.
23:13
Speaker 1: What I love about having the Bala Bangles and weights
23:15
Speaker 1: is that if I want to use the Bengals when
23:17
Speaker 1: I want to hawk a walk, I can do that.
23:19
Speaker 1: If I want to use the angle weights for a
23:22
Speaker 1: workout at home, I can do that. So having weights
23:25
Speaker 1: in the house, if you're the kind of person that
23:26
Speaker 1: maybe doesn't like to go to workout classes or doesn't
23:29
Speaker 1: like to just do a workout in public, you're more
23:31
Speaker 1: of an at home gym girl, or if you're looking
23:33
Speaker 1: to start out and you know, maybe starting at home
23:36
Speaker 1: is the best place to do it before jumping to
23:38
Speaker 1: the conclusion of going to a workout class or anything.
23:41
Speaker 1: Definitely invest in getting Bala bangles and weights. It is
23:45
Speaker 1: by far the best purchase that I've made, and I
23:48
Speaker 1: use them all the time. As I said, like going
23:50
Speaker 1: outside for walks, anything like that, Like just having a
23:53
Speaker 1: set of weights at home, I think is crucial. With
23:55
Speaker 1: having a good set of weights, I think it's also
23:57
Speaker 1: important to have a good yoga mat. So I have
24:00
Speaker 1: the Alo yoga mat. Whenever I do an at home workout.
24:02
Speaker 1: This is the mat that I typically use. I also
24:05
Speaker 1: love to have a yoga mat at home because I
24:07
Speaker 1: really try and take advantage of stretching when I can.
24:10
Speaker 1: Stretching is so important if you're active consistently. So I
24:15
Speaker 1: work out five to six times a week, so for
24:17
Speaker 1: me personally, I need to be on top of stretching
24:19
Speaker 1: because I'm going to injure myself and obviously.
24:22
Speaker 2: We don't want that.
24:24
Speaker 1: So I find having a yoga mat at home for
24:26
Speaker 1: stretching or if I wanted to get an ab workout done,
24:29
Speaker 1: or even like a quick thirty minute workout. If I
24:31
Speaker 1: don't have the time to go to a workout class
24:32
Speaker 1: and I just want to be able to get a
24:33
Speaker 1: workout done at home, having a yoga mat is essential.
24:37
Speaker 1: Another thing you're gonna need is a good pair of Runners.
24:39
Speaker 1: This is actually something that I'm recently looking for right
24:42
Speaker 1: now because I've had my Nike I think they're the
24:45
Speaker 1: two seventies, which have been great. I've had them for
24:48
Speaker 1: four years now, but they're due to have a bit
24:52
Speaker 1: of a swap, so I'm looking at a pair at
24:55
Speaker 1: I think it's called A six. They have been recently
24:57
Speaker 1: trending lately, and I've been really really liking their styles
25:01
Speaker 1: that they just recently came out with, So that's a
25:03
Speaker 1: great brand or I'm honestly just going to go back
25:05
Speaker 1: for another Nike pair, except maybe a different model. Having
25:09
Speaker 1: a good pair of Runners, I think is essential, especially
25:12
Speaker 1: for someone that's starting out and needs, you know, something
25:15
Speaker 1: for their active lifestyle. Another thing when it comes to
25:18
Speaker 1: wellness is not only working out, but taking care of
25:20
Speaker 1: our skin, taking.
25:21
Speaker 2: Care of our bodies. So I have been loving the
25:24
Speaker 2: led face mask.
25:25
Speaker 1: I guess that's also a new healthy habit that I've
25:27
Speaker 1: included into my routine, more my night routine, not really
25:30
Speaker 1: like in the mornings, but I have been loving it
25:33
Speaker 1: so far. Again, not something I've used for a long
25:35
Speaker 1: period of time, but I love it. I think it's
25:38
Speaker 1: so great for anti aging for dry skin. I definitely
25:43
Speaker 1: need it with my skin right now because obviously with
25:45
Speaker 1: the weather changing and it's been colder, my skin has
25:48
Speaker 1: been extremely dry. So just using that has been a
25:53
Speaker 1: game changer for my skin. Another thing I've been trying
25:56
Speaker 1: to be better at is taking care of my body.
25:58
Speaker 1: So my body's been obviously very dry. I have a
26:01
Speaker 1: very bad exzema with the colder months, so I just
26:04
Speaker 1: need to be on top of keeping my body hydrated.
26:06
Speaker 1: So I have been using body oil consistently after my showers.
26:11
Speaker 1: So I've recently been using La Accutines body oil. Guys,
26:15
Speaker 1: this body oil smells insane. I think it's their almond.
26:19
Speaker 1: It's like they're staple. It's their almond. Body oil. The
26:22
Speaker 1: best thing I've ever smelted my life, and it is
26:25
Speaker 1: so hydrating. It is by far the best body well
26:28
Speaker 1: I've ever used. And yeah, it's by the brand La Occutane.
26:32
Speaker 1: So if you're someone that has super dry skin in
26:35
Speaker 1: the winter, please please please do yourself a favor and
26:38
Speaker 1: get body oil. I've been using it consistently now and
26:41
Speaker 1: I've been loving the results and I feel like my
26:43
Speaker 1: my exema also hasn't been as bad. It hasn't been
26:46
Speaker 1: flaring up as much, just because I've been taking action
26:49
Speaker 1: on keeping my body hydrated. So yeah, that's your sign.
26:53
Speaker 1: If you have dry skin, invest in a body oil.
26:55
Speaker 1: Something that's always motivating to someone that needs just something
26:59
Speaker 1: new and exciting is a new water bottle.
27:02
Speaker 2: I just actually ordered.
27:03
Speaker 1: One because I have had the same water bottle now
27:06
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, and I'm like, we
27:08
Speaker 1: need to change it up. That's just something I will
27:11
Speaker 1: be guilty of, is that I will get a new
27:12
Speaker 1: water bottle, like probably at least two new water bottles
27:16
Speaker 1: a year, which sounds kind of bad, but I don't know.
27:18
Speaker 1: I feel like having a cute new water bottle ever
27:21
Speaker 1: so often. I don't know, it just makes a difference,
27:24
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm more motivated to drink water.
27:26
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, a water bottle is like what
27:28
Speaker 1: forty bucks fifty bucks? I mean, unless you're getting a
27:31
Speaker 1: Stanley and spending one hundred dollars, which is ridiculous to me.
27:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that's how much the Stanley
27:35
Speaker 1: actually is, But like Amazon upprices it and certain people
27:38
Speaker 1: do just because it's always you know, a hit and
27:41
Speaker 1: everybody wants one, but I will never spend that much
27:43
Speaker 1: on a water bottle. So to me going on Amazon
27:46
Speaker 1: ordering the Simple Modern brand, super sleek, stunning colors, and yeah,
27:52
Speaker 1: I just ordered a brown one, and yeah, I'm excited.
27:56
Speaker 1: Another thing that you'll need is planners and journals. I
27:59
Speaker 1: actually just got a new journal that is a planner
28:01
Speaker 1: as well, which has been great because having everything in
28:04
Speaker 1: one spot is perfect. I feel like when I had
28:06
Speaker 1: two books, like my journal and my planner, I don't know,
28:10
Speaker 1: it's just like it seemed busy, Like having everything in
28:12
Speaker 1: one spot just makes it easier for me in the morning.
28:15
Speaker 1: So I got a new one from the brand still,
28:17
Speaker 1: I just actually recently discovered them. And another good one
28:21
Speaker 1: is if you're looking to start out your journaling routine
28:25
Speaker 1: and you've no idea where to start, get the five
28:27
Speaker 1: Minute Journal. I got this when I first started my journaling,
28:30
Speaker 1: and it was a game changer, and to be honest,
28:33
Speaker 1: like I actually kind of miss it, like I would
28:35
Speaker 1: definitely buy it again, just because it was so beneficial
28:39
Speaker 1: to have every single morning, and it was great that
28:41
Speaker 1: there was also a nighttime journaling routine as well, so yeah,
28:45
Speaker 1: but just do your own research. Figure out a good
28:48
Speaker 1: planner or journal for you, something that's quick, something that's easy,
28:51
Speaker 1: and something that you'll actually use every single day. Another
28:54
Speaker 1: thing you'll need going into your wellness journey is a
28:57
Speaker 1: good pair of headphones. This is great for your hawk
29:00
Speaker 1: girl walks. If you're doing a workout at home or
29:02
Speaker 1: if you're working out at the gym. I will say
29:05
Speaker 1: that you do not need I think I have the
29:08
Speaker 1: Apple Promacs headphones. You don't need them. They're like a
29:11
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Please do not buy them. Like they're great,
29:14
Speaker 1: I will say, but I've heard that the Bo's headphones
29:18
Speaker 1: that I think are like literally two injure bucks, not
29:20
Speaker 1: even way better quality, way better just in general. Apparently
29:25
Speaker 1: that's what I've been told. My sister got them and
29:26
Speaker 1: she loves them. And I've also heard a few influencers
29:29
Speaker 1: talk about Bows and how they've compared it with the
29:32
Speaker 1: Apple headphones, and they said they're more comfortable and overall
29:35
Speaker 1: just more worth your money. Honestly, Like, yes, they're great,
29:38
Speaker 1: I love them. I already purchase them, so I'm gonna
29:40
Speaker 1: obviously say they're great. But if I'm gonna tell someone, hey,
29:43
Speaker 1: like you should go buy this. I'm not gonna tell
29:45
Speaker 1: you to buy those headphones because I personally think it's
29:47
Speaker 1: not worth the money. So if you don't have a
29:49
Speaker 1: good pair of headphones, definitely invest in a good pair.
29:52
Speaker 1: Christmas is coming around the corner, so that's a great
29:54
Speaker 1: Christmas gift to ask for. But the Bo's ones they
29:57
Speaker 1: hear are really good, or honestly, just the Apple like
30:01
Speaker 1: AirPods like those are great. You don't need the over
30:03
Speaker 1: the ear headphones. The last thing I want to talk
30:05
Speaker 1: about when it comes to your wellness journey is, of
30:07
Speaker 1: course you need a good skincare routine. We talk about
30:09
Speaker 1: this all the time, so I'm not going to get
30:10
Speaker 1: into that much, but definitely establish a good base of
30:14
Speaker 1: a routine when it comes to moisturizers, vitamin c's, you know,
30:18
Speaker 1: a serum, I cream, all that. But one thing that
30:22
Speaker 1: I've no I wouldn't say I've recently done this. I've
30:24
Speaker 1: been doing this consistently now for probably the past four
30:27
Speaker 1: to five months, and that is a guasha or a
30:30
Speaker 1: new face routine. The way the inflammation in my face
30:34
Speaker 1: just changes from doing this like almost every single morning
30:38
Speaker 1: is insane. The shape of your face can dramatically change
30:41
Speaker 1: just by doing like five minutes before your skincare of
30:45
Speaker 1: using a guasha or a new face. So I have
30:48
Speaker 1: seen so many videos of this and tutorials on how
30:51
Speaker 1: to do it. That's how I figured out how to
30:53
Speaker 1: use aguasha or a new face. But it is truly
30:56
Speaker 1: made a huge difference in my face, and I never
30:59
Speaker 1: realized how aimed my face was until like doing this
31:04
Speaker 1: step into my skincare routine. So yeah, I highly, highly,
31:08
Speaker 1: highly recommend that if you're someone that's starting out and
31:11
Speaker 1: wants just like a good product for their skincare routine,
31:16
Speaker 1: I very much recommend these two products. So that's like
31:19
Speaker 1: the best guide I could recommend for people that are
31:22
Speaker 1: starting their wellness journey and just like need like the
31:25
Speaker 1: top things to start out. I would say that's the
31:28
Speaker 1: top ten things you need for a good wellness routine.
