0:52
Speaker 4: favorite time of the year is that week between Christmas

1:11
Speaker 4: But yeah, so I love summer, but I really really
1:14
Speaker 4: love spring too.
1:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many good things about spring, which we're
1:17
Speaker 2: going to get into in the episode. But before we
1:20
Speaker 2: do get into it, let's share what we're obsessed with
1:23
Speaker 2: this week.
1:25
Speaker 1: These are my obsessions.
1:30
Speaker 4: Okay, my obsession this week and one that I've actually
1:33
Speaker 4: kind of upset that I can't test in theory. But
1:37
Speaker 4: I'm giving this to the chicks and I want everyone
1:41
Speaker 4: to report back. But I saw a hinge dating app hack,
1:47
Speaker 4: and three years ago I would have been all over this.
1:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, three years too late. Come on, man, I mean
1:51
Speaker 3: you found the love of your life.
1:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, I love you anyway.
1:58
Speaker 4: So I saw this hack on I don't know if
2:01
Speaker 4: you heard of it. It's called TikTok and I don't
2:05
Speaker 4: know who came up with it. But you turn so
2:09
Speaker 4: on the app, you have age limits, right, so you'll
2:12
Speaker 4: put in like a minimum and a maximum, right, because
2:15
Speaker 4: if you're like thirty on the app, you're not going
2:17
Speaker 4: to have it to like I'm not going to judge.
2:20
Speaker 1: I'm not going to judge.
2:21
Speaker 3: But yeah, perhaps you'd want it between thirty and forty.
2:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you'd have you'd have it between a certain thing.
2:27
Speaker 1: There's this hack.
2:29
Speaker 4: That people put their search their love search, if you
2:34
Speaker 4: will to like seventy five to eighty and apparently all
2:40
Speaker 4: the people are hot who.
2:41
Speaker 3: Are within that age, right, No, but it's like a joke.
2:46
Speaker 4: So like the funny hot boys are like putting their
2:49
Speaker 4: age or funny hot people or funny hot humans or
2:52
Speaker 4: funny hot girls.
2:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, are putting.
2:55
Speaker 4: Their age to like seventy five to eighty and like
2:59
Speaker 4: this TikTok, I'll link it in the show notes.
3:02
Speaker 1: She was like, I did it and it worked shire. Yeah,
3:06
Speaker 1: because when you're.
3:07
Speaker 4: Like on Hinge, it does get to a point that
3:09
Speaker 4: you're like you see the same people, see the same people,
3:12
Speaker 4: and you're like fuck.
3:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're like you haven't changed that.
3:16
Speaker 4: Throw it behind like Hinge, I think puts like a
3:19
Speaker 4: bunch of hot people behind like a paywall and you
3:22
Speaker 4: have to send.
3:22
Speaker 1: Roses to them.
3:24
Speaker 4: I would rather stub my toe on a couch than
3:26
Speaker 4: send a rose to any one.
3:27
Speaker 3: I'd definitely been the general admission pack.
3:29
Speaker 1: I'll say I got shadow band on it, babe, that's right. Yeah.
3:35
Speaker 2: They were like you one serious connection and I was
3:37
Speaker 2: like that's not for you to I know, but come on, man,
3:43
Speaker 2: so I want to know if this is real, please.
3:49
Speaker 1: Let us know.
3:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it could be a good hack. You could
3:52
Speaker 2: find the hot, funny love of your life.
3:54
Speaker 1: Hmmm.
3:54
Speaker 2: Okay, my obsession for this week, now that we're getting
3:58
Speaker 2: into the warm weather, one of my obsessions for spring
4:03
Speaker 2: is going to be matching vintage lingerie with T shirts
4:10
Speaker 2: and more like masculine elements. We're going to get into
4:14
Speaker 2: the spring trends, but I love that A big trend
4:18
Speaker 2: that we've been seeing this year from the girlies is
4:21
Speaker 2: like little frilly bloomer shorts with like a sports shirt
4:26
Speaker 2: or a band tee or like a big leather jacket.
4:29
Speaker 4: Like.
4:29
Speaker 2: I love that mix of feminine and masculine. And when
4:34
Speaker 2: we were in London, we did some amazing vintage shopping
4:38
Speaker 2: and I got these incredible silk knickers which I'm just
4:43
Speaker 2: gonna be wearing all springs.
4:44
Speaker 4: They look like shorts, like basically silk shorts with like
4:48
Speaker 4: lace around the trim of them.
4:50
Speaker 3: But in ye vintage times they.
4:54
Speaker 1: Would they would have been like pajamas.
4:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're kind of like blue like, and I guess
4:58
Speaker 2: you could do with bloomers or I love the idea
5:01
Speaker 2: of doing it with you know, the old fave like
5:04
Speaker 2: slip slip dress, slip dress or the little skirts.
5:07
Speaker 4: I got like a little silk romper that had like
5:11
Speaker 4: a red silk romper that had like a lace trimmer
5:14
Speaker 4: ond the top that you could wear with like a
5:16
Speaker 4: blazer and cowboy boots.
5:18
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:18
Speaker 2: And I got like a little cotton white cotton wine
5:22
Speaker 2: as well that has like slits up the side. And
5:25
Speaker 2: I'm like that Will looks so sick with a pair
5:26
Speaker 2: of cowboy boots, yeah, and a blazer or a leather jacket.
5:30
Speaker 1: So I love they're.
5:32
Speaker 4: Wearing the exact same thing. We're just throwing in like
5:34
Speaker 4: totally some girl.
5:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like blazer and a cowboy boot. That's the brief. Yeah,
5:40
Speaker 1: every time.
5:41
Speaker 2: But you know, that's the thing about new seasons. You
5:43
Speaker 2: don't have to completely overhaul your wardrobe. But I love
5:46
Speaker 2: playing around with different elements, and spring and summer is
5:49
Speaker 2: a good time to bring in some of those more
5:51
Speaker 2: fun girly elements. And this is something that you can
5:55
Speaker 2: buy secondhand or vintage, or you might already own.
5:57
Speaker 3: And it's just a matter of restyling it for this
6:00
Speaker 3: That's what I'm obsessed with.
6:02
Speaker 1: I love that.
6:03
Speaker 2: Okay, speaking of should we get into our Hot Chick
6:06
Speaker 2: Spring checklist? Yes, moving into our Hot Chick Spring checklist?
6:17
Speaker 2: Speaking of number one, refresh your fashion, I think this
6:21
Speaker 2: is something fun that we can do every season, and
6:24
Speaker 2: it's also a great time to declutter your wardrobe and
6:27
Speaker 2: look back on the things that you wore or didn't
6:30
Speaker 2: wear last summer or last spring and be like, Okay,
6:34
Speaker 2: what can I get rid of, what can I donate,
6:37
Speaker 2: what can I perhaps alter to wear again, and then
6:41
Speaker 2: figure out the holes in your wardrobe and use that
6:44
Speaker 2: as an opportunity to give your wardrobe a little bit
6:46
Speaker 2: of a refresh.
6:47
Speaker 4: Yeah. I feel like if something sat in your wardrobe
6:50
Speaker 4: for two years, like two seasons, like two spring seasons,
6:53
Speaker 4: and you haven't worn it, it's probably high chance that
6:57
Speaker 4: you won't wear it this season. So look into repurposing
7:02
Speaker 4: it either selling it on deep op tailoring it to
7:05
Speaker 4: be something else cool Like I've seen people tailoring like
7:09
Speaker 4: dresses into corsetts. Yeah, that's so like cycling their clothing,
7:13
Speaker 4: which I think is really cool that. Yeah, you could
7:17
Speaker 4: look into that repurposing things that you already own. Another
7:21
Speaker 4: thing that I think is helpful when doing that is
7:23
Speaker 4: sometimes we're not bored of our wardrobe, we're bored of
7:27
Speaker 4: how we style it. So even looking at the things
7:29
Speaker 4: that you've got and maybe building a spring Pinterest.
7:32
Speaker 1: Board for your fashion.
7:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
7:35
Speaker 2: I love that, like going on Pinterest and looking at
7:38
Speaker 2: the outfits that you like and being like, Okay, I've
7:41
Speaker 2: got this piece, and I've got this piece, and I
7:44
Speaker 2: can recreate this outfit or a similar vibe with things
7:47
Speaker 2: that I've already got.
7:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like you'd be so shocked and the
7:49
Speaker 4: amount of pintifits that you can recreate with your wardrobe.
7:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I.
7:55
Speaker 2: Think every season you should also be reorganizing and reshaping.
8:00
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I did this this week your clothes.
8:02
Speaker 2: I need to do it this weekend, I think. And
8:06
Speaker 2: move your winter jackets into storage or vacuum pack them
8:10
Speaker 2: or put them under the bed, under the bed, you know.
8:14
Speaker 2: Refold your drawers so that all of your spring and
8:17
Speaker 2: summary tops are up the top, just so that they
8:20
Speaker 2: are easy to reach and so that you're not being like, oh,
8:24
Speaker 2: I don't need any of this stuff.
8:25
Speaker 3: You feel like you've got nothing to wear.
8:27
Speaker 2: A lot of the time you do have stuff to wear,
8:29
Speaker 2: you just can't find it or it's not in and
8:31
Speaker 2: it's not in a place where it's easy to get to.
8:34
Speaker 3: And yeah, again, it's a.
8:36
Speaker 1: Good opportunit in there that you can't see it.
8:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my problem currently.
8:43
Speaker 2: But we're going to move onto some spring trends and predictions.
8:49
Speaker 2: Quick note, of course, it goes without saying you don't
8:53
Speaker 2: need to follow trends.
8:54
Speaker 3: You can wear whatever you want.
8:57
Speaker 2: I think these are simply some trend predictions that we've
9:00
Speaker 2: scene for those who are curious or want to incorporate
9:04
Speaker 2: something fun.
9:04
Speaker 4: I'm love talking about trends like.
9:07
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean I'm necessarily going to.
9:09
Speaker 4: Go out and buy every single one, like exactly.
9:12
Speaker 2: Just a little disclaimer to say that if you're excited
9:15
Speaker 2: and inspired by some of these trends, amazing.
9:18
Speaker 3: If you're not, you don't have to wear it.
9:20
Speaker 4: And sometimes you'll already own some of them, which is
9:22
Speaker 4: the even bigger wind.
9:25
Speaker 1: What do we want to come back?
9:27
Speaker 4: Oh?
9:28
Speaker 3: I guess that I want to come back?
9:30
Speaker 4: Do we already own the way? Like?
9:31
Speaker 1: Can we bring this back?
9:33
Speaker 4: Can I say I want non backless dresses to come
9:37
Speaker 4: into fast?
9:37
Speaker 1: Yeah? I agree, everything is backless these days.
9:40
Speaker 4: I look at a dress, I like it gorgeous, look
9:43
Speaker 4: at the back backless. Some of us have big titties,
9:48
Speaker 4: and I know that I could just wear it like
9:50
Speaker 4: without a bra if I wanted to, but I don't
9:52
Speaker 4: I want to wear bra.
9:54
Speaker 1: Because I don't. I don't want it. Yeah, you know
9:58
Speaker 1: this feels topical.
9:59
Speaker 2: But one thing that I really want to come back
10:01
Speaker 2: is denim jackets. Are they out apparently? Like I don't
10:05
Speaker 2: think yours is, but I think like a light blue no, listen,
10:08
Speaker 2: I think that a light blue denim jacket is apparently
10:11
Speaker 2: a millennial thing to wear, Like a light blue one.
10:19
Speaker 3: Wearing jacket jacket that was.
10:23
Speaker 1: A reed, but not from me, not on purpose. My jackets.
10:28
Speaker 4: My wardrobe is full of denim jackets, the type of
10:31
Speaker 4: denim jacket that maybe is like the millennial.
10:34
Speaker 1: Do you know another thing that I want to come
10:36
Speaker 1: back the millennial tuck?
10:38
Speaker 2: I know that's another thing that people always tease millennials about.
10:42
Speaker 2: But as someone with like big boobs, what is kind
10:46
Speaker 2: of big kid.
10:47
Speaker 1: In your shirt? Yeah?
10:48
Speaker 2: Have you seen those tiktoks? And it's like how to
10:50
Speaker 2: spot a millennial? And it will be somebody wearing like
10:52
Speaker 2: an outfit and then their shirt's tucked in and they're
10:54
Speaker 2: like literally like that they took their shirt in.
10:57
Speaker 1: Look, I thought I looked good today. You do look great.
11:01
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have an extra central crisis anyway, Let's go
11:04
Speaker 4: into the spring Spring and musical The Spring twenty twenty
11:08
Speaker 4: four Spring trend predictions for spring groundbreaking.
11:12
Speaker 1: Pastels for spring groundbreaking.
11:15
Speaker 2: Including butter yellow, lilac, and glacial blue.
11:19
Speaker 4: Glacial blue, it's like, I guess, like that like a
11:22
Speaker 4: baby blue.
11:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a bit more of an icy light blue.
11:26
Speaker 4: Lilac has had a few moments. Lilac has come in
11:29
Speaker 4: consistently over springs over the last couple of years. I
11:32
Speaker 4: would say, yeah, glacial blue, I don't know if I'll
11:35
Speaker 4: fuck with that one.
11:36
Speaker 2: Do you know what I actually saw with like glacial
11:39
Speaker 2: blue slash? I guess like a turquoise and brown that
11:44
Speaker 2: was like a two thousands combo.
11:46
Speaker 1: Same as pink and brown.
11:48
Speaker 2: Really like early two thousands color combos that I was like.
11:52
Speaker 1: Wool and brown.
11:53
Speaker 2: They actually look really good together, and I think that
11:55
Speaker 2: could be really cute for summerdays.
11:57
Speaker 1: I love brown, Like a brown and blue bikini. That's cute.
12:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, hotpants, I don't know if I'll be dabbling, but.
12:05
Speaker 1: I do like you talking like American apparel, like disco pant.
12:08
Speaker 3: Like a short short is what a hot pant?
12:11
Speaker 1: Is so basically and they're coming back.
12:13
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah again. I think it's like a very early
12:16
Speaker 2: two thousands thing. It's not something that I'm necessarily going
12:19
Speaker 2: to be wearing. But I do love seeing other people
12:22
Speaker 2: styling at the double waistband. So whether that's boxer shorts
12:28
Speaker 2: or stockings peeking out the top, or shorts or pants
12:32
Speaker 2: or skirts that have the double waistband built in. I
12:35
Speaker 2: have seen this quite a bit in vintage shops when
12:38
Speaker 2: we were in Europe, where they would be upcycling like
12:41
Speaker 2: two pairs of shorts into one, so you have like
12:44
Speaker 2: a lighter color denim at the top and then maybe
12:46
Speaker 2: like a darker denim at the bottom. I think that's
12:48
Speaker 2: really cool in Canberra to remember, yeah that's right, So
12:53
Speaker 2: I think that's a really cute and fun trend. And
12:56
Speaker 2: then feminine athletics, so matching sports shorts with a frilly
13:00
Speaker 2: white top or bally ballet flats or vice versa. And
13:04
Speaker 2: then also the white tank. I think because of ever left,
13:08
Speaker 2: but I think because of brat summer right. It's well
13:12
Speaker 2: and truly that no stable, don't I.
13:15
Speaker 1: Love a white tank.
13:16
Speaker 4: Also finding a thick strap white tank that's a thick
13:19
Speaker 4: material and ribbed.
13:21
Speaker 1: Please send me it.
13:23
Speaker 4: I cannot find one and I need a new one
13:25
Speaker 4: because my last one I seen but to day. Well,
13:27
Speaker 4: you know, Johnny love about all of these trends is
13:30
Speaker 4: they are all so vintage and secondhand shopping friendly. These
13:36
Speaker 4: you could find at a vintage store on deepop or.
13:39
Speaker 2: Perhaps the things that you already own, Yeah, could repurpose,
13:43
Speaker 2: like the out a pair of shorts, you could cut
13:44
Speaker 2: them into something short.
13:47
Speaker 1: Who wear short shorts?
13:51
Speaker 3: We wear shorts all right.
13:53
Speaker 4: Next tip, So, I think when spring rolls around winter,
13:59
Speaker 4: and in our winter episode, we did speak a lot
14:02
Speaker 4: about taking the time to rest and like cozy era, Yeah,
14:07
Speaker 4: cozy error, hibernate a little bit, spend time with yourself,
14:12
Speaker 4: stay in and like take the opportunity that's presented to
14:16
Speaker 4: you to live a little bit slower because winter is
14:19
Speaker 4: a little bit slower, there's not as much to do,
14:21
Speaker 4: it gets dark or quicker. Whereas now that we're going
14:25
Speaker 4: into spring, I don't think we need to completely slingshot
14:31
Speaker 4: ourselves back into society basically because I think that is
14:38
Speaker 4: a one way ticket to burning out your battery. I
14:41
Speaker 4: think it's time to maybe like dip your toe and
14:45
Speaker 4: nudge yourself out of the cocoon. So we're exiting our
14:49
Speaker 4: little hibernation cove, but slowly and gently and in a
14:54
Speaker 4: way that is wholesome and fills our cup without draining it.
14:59
Speaker 4: At the same time, I think there is such an
15:02
Speaker 4: amazing opportunity to take yourself on more dates during spring,
15:07
Speaker 4: and it's maybe looking at buying a new book, or
15:11
Speaker 4: I recently planted a herve garden, which just made me
15:16
Speaker 4: so happy like that it was like a whole day
15:19
Speaker 4: activity and it was just really fun. I think it
15:23
Speaker 4: was honestly fifty bucks and I enjoyed myself so much,
15:28
Speaker 4: and it was something that you know, you're spending more
15:30
Speaker 4: time in the sun, which is just so good for
15:33
Speaker 4: your brain. And also, I feel like summer it's such
15:39
Speaker 4: a high social season, like between wrapping up work and
15:45
Speaker 4: end of year parties and birthdays and Christmas and beach
15:48
Speaker 4: days and drinks and.
15:51
Speaker 1: All that stuff, which is really fun and I love that.
15:54
Speaker 4: But I think it's a good opportunity in spring to
15:58
Speaker 4: maybe spend a little bit time taking yourself on dates
16:03
Speaker 4: and easing your way out into like social situations a
16:06
Speaker 4: little bit, don't you think.
16:08
Speaker 2: Definitely, I'm like really picturing myself as like an high
16:12
Speaker 2: hibernating bear, Like ye, like it should chafe, But I
16:16
Speaker 2: think that's good because it can be a bit of
16:18
Speaker 2: a shock to the system if you've spent the last
16:20
Speaker 2: three months inside reading your books and watching Netflix and
16:25
Speaker 2: then you come out and you're like, oh, like you know,
16:28
Speaker 2: it can be a shock to the system.
16:29
Speaker 1: But go to the markets.
16:31
Speaker 4: I know this is all very basic stuff, but give
16:34
Speaker 4: your permission to winter. It is hard to get the
16:40
Speaker 4: energy and like feel the fucks to make you go
16:43
Speaker 4: out because you're like, I just I want to put
16:46
Speaker 4: the blind down and I want to sleep in and
16:48
Speaker 4: I love that.
16:48
Speaker 1: That's gorgeous. Keep doing that. You're in your own time frame.
16:51
Speaker 1: You can sleep and if you want to, there's twenty
16:52
Speaker 1: four hours in a day.
16:54
Speaker 4: But I think give yourself maybe the little bit of
16:57
Speaker 4: the nudge, but not the.
16:59
Speaker 1: Push to like exit your cocoon.
17:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you've got three months to do it as well.
17:05
Speaker 1: You can ease yourself into it and flowers.
17:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, that honestly fixes everything.
17:10
Speaker 2: Well, it kind of leads onto my next tip, which
17:14
Speaker 2: is create a spring bucket list. When I was a
17:17
Speaker 2: little kid and we'd go into the summer school holidays
17:22
Speaker 2: young boy my mother. At that period in my life,
17:25
Speaker 2: I was definitely staying inside and coding my MySpace. But
17:29
Speaker 2: when I was a little kid and we'd go into
17:31
Speaker 2: the summer holidays specifically where you have that big six
17:35
Speaker 2: week break, I'd always make a summer bucket list and
17:38
Speaker 2: I'd buy a poster and like get all my texters
17:41
Speaker 2: out and like create a bucket list and decorate it
17:44
Speaker 2: with stickers and you know whatever. And i'd have, you know,
17:48
Speaker 2: maybe ten things that I needed to do by the
17:50
Speaker 2: end of the summer holidays.
17:52
Speaker 3: And you know, I was like eight.
17:54
Speaker 2: So it would be like have a water balloon fight,
17:57
Speaker 2: have a picnic outside neat zac Efron, Yeah, build a
18:01
Speaker 2: fairy garden like literal we still do that.
18:05
Speaker 1: That'd be great.
18:05
Speaker 2: Well that I think that we should incorporate this into
18:09
Speaker 2: adulthood and into springs and play.
18:12
Speaker 4: Yeah. Play is such a like such a value to
18:15
Speaker 4: have as an adult that.
18:17
Speaker 1: We really really lose when we're overseas.
18:20
Speaker 4: We heard this thing and it was saying how as
18:22
Speaker 4: we get older, we lose the ability to play, and
18:28
Speaker 4: that this is your invitation to come and play again.
18:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm going to start creating.
18:35
Speaker 4: But yeah, I just I think that is such a
18:38
Speaker 4: good point that in spring really.
18:41
Speaker 1: Prioritize your play.
18:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's the perfect time for it, Like the
18:46
Speaker 2: weather is literally beckoning you to come out and play.
18:51
Speaker 2: So start making a bucket list. You can, you know,
18:54
Speaker 2: buy a post a board and do it yourself. You
18:56
Speaker 2: have a journal, you can.
18:57
Speaker 1: Write it in there. What I think is even cuter
19:00
Speaker 1: a canvas and some paints. Yeah, how fun.
19:03
Speaker 4: And then when you do it, you can like paint
19:05
Speaker 4: it yeah and.
19:07
Speaker 1: Tick it in like how cute.
19:08
Speaker 2: But the point of the bucket list isn't to be
19:10
Speaker 2: productive or to better yourself in quotes, It's to have
19:14
Speaker 2: fun and make use of the fact that the sun
19:17
Speaker 2: is going to be going down later, it's going to
19:20
Speaker 2: be warmer.
19:21
Speaker 1: Let's take advantage of spring.
19:23
Speaker 2: I've got a couple of ideas to add to your
19:26
Speaker 2: bucket list. Inexpensive Spring bucket list ideas. One, press flowers
19:33
Speaker 2: or start scrapbooking. Two, start taking photos if you've got
19:37
Speaker 2: like a disposable camera or a digital camera or a polaroid.
19:41
Speaker 2: Three learn a new Spring inspired recipe so that could
19:45
Speaker 2: be like a salad Well, I've got one or a cocktail,
19:49
Speaker 2: or maybe like a fruity dessert.
19:52
Speaker 4: Highly recommend watermelon fetta and mint salad.
19:55
Speaker 2: M so easy and so young so for host and
19:59
Speaker 2: afternoon tea. Or a picnic with your friends. Teddy bears
20:03
Speaker 2: picnic fucking slay. One of my like highlights of my
20:06
Speaker 2: whole life was that Teddy Bear's picnic.
20:09
Speaker 3: I brought my care bear and we had the best day.
20:13
Speaker 2: Anyway, go on a day trip with your friends, like
20:16
Speaker 2: take a little road trip somewhere, or go to a
20:17
Speaker 2: beach or something that you've never been to.
20:20
Speaker 1: Go to the park.
20:21
Speaker 3: And paint, or go to a sunset and paint.
20:24
Speaker 2: Have an outdoor cinema date so you either could set
20:27
Speaker 2: this up in your own backyard or you know, all
20:29
Speaker 2: of the outdoor cinemas start in spring and summer, which
20:31
Speaker 2: I think is such a cute date idea. And try
20:34
Speaker 2: a new hobby that you would usually only do in
20:38
Speaker 2: spring or summer, so surfing or rollerblading or skateboarding.
20:43
Speaker 1: Ripstick?
20:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you remember the ripstick? Do you remember that it.
20:47
Speaker 1: Was like you had to wiggle the back of it.
20:49
Speaker 1: Oh bad, I do it.
20:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have sat them.
20:51
Speaker 1: And I thought I was slaying.
20:53
Speaker 4: Okay, next one, and I'm gonna be quick with this
20:56
Speaker 4: because I think this spring clean is like.
20:58
Speaker 1: A very obvious one.
20:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like to think of it as less of
21:02
Speaker 4: a spring clean and more of a update and.
21:05
Speaker 1: Upgrade your physical space.
21:08
Speaker 4: So it's like clear out things that are just clutter
21:12
Speaker 4: and upgrade your space and update it like I updated
21:18
Speaker 4: my wardrobe. And it is a fucking sleigh. So I
21:22
Speaker 4: endorse the tubs.
21:24
Speaker 1: Clear tubs down the bottom.
21:26
Speaker 4: What's hanging is like jackets and jeans, but only the
21:30
Speaker 4: things that I wear, and then one of those little
21:31
Speaker 4: hanging cubes things. And it like, investing in organizing your
21:36
Speaker 4: space in a way that makes things easy is going
21:40
Speaker 4: to be so much better because it makes things easy
21:43
Speaker 4: to put away. I think often we think about making
21:47
Speaker 4: things easy to get to. That's not the issue. The
21:50
Speaker 4: issue with keeping your space organized and tidy is a
21:54
Speaker 4: lot of the time, you know what you want. You
21:55
Speaker 4: know that day you probably you might want to wear,
21:58
Speaker 4: you know, a blazer with your gene and your coward boots.
22:01
Speaker 3: You know that that you know where it is, you'll
22:03
Speaker 3: get that.
22:03
Speaker 1: The issue I mean for me specifically is putting it away.
22:07
Speaker 4: Then, So when you create a space that's organized in
22:10
Speaker 4: a way that makes a process simple, it makes your
22:13
Speaker 4: life simple.
22:14
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's so much better.
22:16
Speaker 4: And I know this sounds so weird, but like after
22:19
Speaker 4: a week, like I'll clean my room, I'll do my
22:21
Speaker 4: washing it and after a week it's messy again, because
22:24
Speaker 4: I think that's pretty not everywhere I have put my
22:28
Speaker 4: clothes and my room has been clean. I put my
22:32
Speaker 4: clothes away and my room has been clean for a week. Yeah,
22:35
Speaker 4: And I know that is like the smallest win in
22:37
Speaker 4: the world, but it is the biggest win of my life.
22:41
Speaker 4: Like I feel like I'm not crazy anymore.
22:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I just to figure out whatever process it
22:46
Speaker 2: is to you.
22:47
Speaker 3: And I think a spring clean is a great time
22:49
Speaker 3: to do that.
22:49
Speaker 4: Yes, it's incredible, Okay, Next on your Hot Chicks spring check.
22:54
Speaker 4: This is to start putting together your sale season savings.
22:59
Speaker 1: Say that three times. It's quick alliteration. But if you
23:06
Speaker 1: put six.
23:06
Speaker 4: Dollars away every day into a little savings account, it
23:10
Speaker 4: means that by Black Friday you'll have over five hundred
23:14
Speaker 4: dollars to spend or save if you want to save
23:17
Speaker 4: it so you can do your Christmas shopping, or you
23:20
Speaker 4: can buy that thing that you've been saving up for
23:23
Speaker 4: like a dison air up, for example, because we know
23:25
Speaker 4: that a lot of people.
23:25
Speaker 1: Shop that on Black Friday.
23:28
Speaker 4: But it just means that you're not going to be
23:29
Speaker 4: dipping into your savings or your emergency funds. You've got
23:33
Speaker 4: your shopping budget and you've been putting a little bit
23:36
Speaker 4: away for that shopping budget rather than like spending your
23:39
Speaker 4: entire weekly paycheck or dipping into your savings.
23:43
Speaker 1: And it's just a good point in time to get.
23:45
Speaker 3: Your Christmas shopping done. Absolutely, can you have.
23:48
Speaker 1: A more tweet? Yeah, little tweet for a little pointcess.
23:51
Speaker 3: Tweet them, tweet yourself.
23:54
Speaker 4: So do yourself a favor and pause this episode right
23:58
Speaker 4: now because we know you're going to forget by the
24:00
Speaker 4: end of it. Same, but pause it right now and
24:04
Speaker 4: go set up like an automatic transfer to a savings
24:08
Speaker 4: for six.
24:08
Speaker 1: Dollars a day, or it can also be a dollar.
24:10
Speaker 4: A dollar will still you'll save eighty seven dollars and
24:13
Speaker 4: you can still get something that's going to get you
24:15
Speaker 4: some bang for.
24:16
Speaker 3: Your buck on like Friday.
24:18
Speaker 1: I also have some.
24:19
Speaker 4: Tea tea, some tea what But obviously we're going into
24:23
Speaker 4: sale season right and the best.
24:24
Speaker 1: Time of the year.
24:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the one level time of the year.
24:29
Speaker 1: Tea. VOSN has reportedly been canceled.
24:32
Speaker 4: No.
24:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we got.
24:35
Speaker 4: A DM from an anonymous chick and she messaged us
24:41
Speaker 4: saying that her brand that she works for. The retailer
24:45
Speaker 4: she works for got a message saying BOSN has been canceled.
24:49
Speaker 4: So I was like, babe, what's going on? So she said, well,
24:52
Speaker 4: I work for a retailer and we were doing the
24:54
Speaker 4: September roster and the other day I saw the roster
24:56
Speaker 4: hours cut and I was like, what the fuck? That's illegal,
24:59
Speaker 4: not with bos On, And they said head office received
25:02
Speaker 4: an email that it was canceled. So she also mentioned
25:06
Speaker 4: I think most retailers will still run something, but for
25:09
Speaker 4: now it seems Vogue has candid I think from a
25:12
Speaker 4: low participation rate because retailers who offer after pay have
25:17
Speaker 4: to play into after pay day sales, but Vogue doesn't
25:19
Speaker 4: have that obligation. So if you I didn't know that
25:22
Speaker 4: if you have after pay, like, if you offer that,
25:25
Speaker 4: you have to do an after payday sale.
25:26
Speaker 3: Apparently I didn't know that either.
25:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's why there's sales. Yeah, why everybody has
25:34
Speaker 1: a sale. It doesn't surprise me though.
25:36
Speaker 4: I think BOSN was quite a large sale event a
25:41
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, but now with the height of
25:43
Speaker 4: Clickfrenzy and Black Friday, especially in sale seasons, I probably
25:47
Speaker 4: wouldn't be shopping BOSN when I know that Clickfrenzy and
25:51
Speaker 4: Black Friday around the corner.
25:53
Speaker 1: Like if I had a wish list, I would be
25:54
Speaker 1: saving it for that. Yeah, me too.
25:57
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's I.
25:58
Speaker 1: Don't know if it will happen. Maybe they'll surprise us.
26:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they might make a surprise comeback.
26:03
Speaker 1: That's never know. The Hot Gas, Hot E, the Hot
26:06
Speaker 1: Gas and the group of chicks d we are the
26:10
Speaker 1: new dum Oh my god of the topic world. Imagine
26:14
Speaker 1: that read a weep.
26:16
Speaker 2: My last tip or my last point on the Hot
26:20
Speaker 2: Cheeks Spring checklist is revisit and readjust.
26:23
Speaker 3: Your twenty twenty four goals.
26:25
Speaker 2: So we are two thirds of the way through twenty
26:29
Speaker 2: twenty four. There are only four months left until twenty
26:33
Speaker 2: twenty five. I'm not trying to scare anyone or intimidate anyone,
26:38
Speaker 2: but the great thing about that is there's still plenty
26:41
Speaker 2: of time left in the ear to look back on
26:44
Speaker 2: your goals and to see how far you've come, or
26:48
Speaker 2: to perhaps look at your goals and be like, actually,
26:51
Speaker 2: you know what my goalposts have changed. Let's shuffle a
26:54
Speaker 2: few things around. Let's maybe have a look at my
26:59
Speaker 2: my habits and what I've been doing every single day.
27:02
Speaker 2: What can I introduce or stop doing to reach my
27:05
Speaker 2: goal or to reach a new goal that.
27:07
Speaker 3: I care about even more.
27:09
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, going into a new season
27:11
Speaker 2: is a great opportunity to take that time to pause
27:15
Speaker 2: and reflect on how far you've come in twenty twenty
27:18
Speaker 2: four and all the things that you can achieve before
27:20
Speaker 2: the new year. You don't have to wait until the
27:22
Speaker 2: first of January to start a new goal. Of course,
27:25
Speaker 2: that's a great time. The new Year's is a great
27:27
Speaker 2: time to alter motivator, but I think a new season
27:30
Speaker 2: is a good time to do that as well.
27:32
Speaker 4: I think it's also fun because you can cheat, like
27:35
Speaker 4: you can cheat your news resolutions next year, and to
27:38
Speaker 4: start now exactly like that was the best thing that
27:40
Speaker 4: I've It was Alexis Fernandez, that's a in a podcast
27:44
Speaker 4: episode last year saying that you don't have to wait
27:47
Speaker 4: till a new year. But I think as well with this,
27:49
Speaker 4: by the end of the year, you've been through a lot. Yeah,
27:53
Speaker 4: by spring, it's like you, I feel like you are
27:56
Speaker 4: starting to wind down from like seriousness.
28:01
Speaker 1: That probably was your year.
28:02
Speaker 4: Like I can practically guarantee everyone can think of something
28:06
Speaker 4: this year that has been like a bit of a
28:08
Speaker 4: drain or a bit of a stressor Yeah, And it's
28:10
Speaker 4: like what you're saying is a good opportunity to identify
28:14
Speaker 4: some goals, but maybe more of a rebrand to like
28:17
Speaker 4: a bucket list goals vibe, So like I want to
28:21
Speaker 4: enjoy my weekends more like I want to have more
28:24
Speaker 4: of a work life balance, or I want to save
28:27
Speaker 4: this amount by Christmas, Like yeah, make it more of
28:30
Speaker 4: a short term goal that's really fun.
28:32
Speaker 2: Exactly, and then having that then you can look back
28:35
Speaker 2: on like the micro habits that lead you up to that,
28:39
Speaker 2: and you can make it more achievable by introducing some
28:42
Speaker 2: of those things that can latter up to whatever that
28:45
Speaker 2: goal is.
28:46
Speaker 4: On that note, my last kind of Spring checklist thing
28:51
Speaker 4: is to let go of the indecisiveness and maybe just
28:56
Speaker 4: like let go of a lot of the tension and
29:01
Speaker 4: shit that you're probably holding on to, because again, I
29:04
Speaker 4: think we get to this part of the year and
29:07
Speaker 4: we've been through a lot. Everyone like, there's just so
29:10
Speaker 4: much that you've probably twenty twenty four has been like
29:13
Speaker 4: a heavy year.
29:13
Speaker 1: It's been a heavy year.
29:15
Speaker 3: Yeah alone, whatever you've gone through personally as well. Yeah, sure,
29:19
Speaker 3: and gone through a lot.
29:20
Speaker 4: Like we said at the start, I think prioritizing joy
29:24
Speaker 4: and play and trying to build the skill that is
29:30
Speaker 4: avoiding overthinking is going to release the tension from your
29:35
Speaker 4: entire body. But I was listening to this philosopher called
29:39
Speaker 4: Alan Watts.
29:40
Speaker 1: He is amazing. I love him. He fixes my life.
29:45
Speaker 4: But basically he said, if you're constantly trying to make
29:48
Speaker 4: the right decision, you will never make the right decision
29:52
Speaker 4: because you'll never make a decision because the data is infinite.
29:55
Speaker 1: When you're thinking of what to do, you sit there
29:58
Speaker 1: and you're really trying to think about it.
29:59
Speaker 4: That's it's not to say you should make rash decisions,
30:04
Speaker 4: but it's to say if you are trying to analyze
30:08
Speaker 4: a decision from every single angle and trying to analyze
30:11
Speaker 4: a decision with all the data, you'll never make a
30:15
Speaker 4: decision because the data is infinite.
30:16
Speaker 1: You have no idea what's going to happen in the future.
30:19
Speaker 1: Like you can.
30:20
Speaker 4: You can think about you know, learnings and life lessons.
30:23
Speaker 1: That you've had.
30:24
Speaker 4: But if you sit there and start trying to account
30:26
Speaker 4: for the future, that's when you're shooting yourself in the foot, Like,
30:29
Speaker 4: that's when you're setting yourself up for failure. And I
30:33
Speaker 4: think indecisiveness and like accounting for the future is something
30:37
Speaker 4: something where I've been holding my self back a bit
30:41
Speaker 4: of being like if I do this, but if I
30:43
Speaker 4: do this, what if this happens? And if I do this,
30:45
Speaker 4: that could happen, And it's that fear of making the
30:48
Speaker 4: wrong decision.
30:50
Speaker 1: And that's the thing.
30:52
Speaker 4: It's like, the data is infinite, so being indecisive is
30:55
Speaker 4: a moot point and you just have to make the decision.
30:58
Speaker 4: And sometimes it's the wrong one and some times it's
31:00
Speaker 4: the right one. But in every situation, it's a lesson.
31:04
Speaker 4: And when I heard that, I was like, holy shit,
31:08
Speaker 4: like blue man, but man, Alan God, yeah, I know right.
31:12
Speaker 1: I was like, why are you trying to read me
31:13
Speaker 1: like that?
31:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, don't be so many people relate
31:16
Speaker 2: to that, but yeah, And I just wanted to put
31:18
Speaker 2: that in here and maybe finish on this note as
31:20
Speaker 2: a way to give yourself mission to just enjoy spring,
31:25
Speaker 2: like upgrade your space, play with your fashion and play
31:30
Speaker 2: with your friends. Play with your friends, go make a
31:32
Speaker 2: fairy garden, like spring is fucking fun.
31:36
Speaker 3: That the silly girls Spring, billy girls Spring.
31:39
Speaker 4: I love that, Like, let's just little, let's chapel and
31:44
Speaker 4: let's have it silly al spring slag.
31:47
Speaker 3: We can get into advice with the chicks.
31:53
Speaker 1: Advice with the cheeks.
31:55
Speaker 4: Okay, how do you figure out what your dream job
31:59
Speaker 4: is and how do you gain enough confidence to go
32:02
Speaker 4: for it? For context, I'm a twenty six year old
32:05
Speaker 4: mama trying to make the best life in my family
32:07
Speaker 4: with a good work life balance and love my job
32:11
Speaker 4: now as a career and helping people, but I'm always
32:14
Speaker 4: feeling like I want more and looking at psychology needing
32:17
Speaker 4: confidence as I don't know if it's the right path.
32:21
Speaker 2: Wow, I feel like this really ladders back to your
32:25
Speaker 2: last voice.
32:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, which I didn't even realize. I think my response
32:29
Speaker 1: to this is pretty short and sweet. But go for it.
32:32
Speaker 1: I agree, because.
32:33
Speaker 4: You will always wonder what if if you didn't, And
32:38
Speaker 4: it's like if it was easy, everyone would be doing it,
32:42
Speaker 4: Like it might be a bit hard to juggle everything,
32:45
Speaker 4: but you can be really proud of yourself whether or
32:48
Speaker 4: not you do it and continue or do it and
32:50
Speaker 4: it's not for you.
32:51
Speaker 2: You gave it a red hot crack and that's like
32:54
Speaker 2: the best thing, and I reckon you would end up
32:56
Speaker 2: loving it. Yeah, And you can also take your time
32:59
Speaker 2: with these things. Like, I think that it's amazing that
33:02
Speaker 2: now in twenty twenty four, there are so many more
33:04
Speaker 2: options for people, and especially for women and mums who
33:09
Speaker 2: you know are taking care of their children as well,
33:11
Speaker 2: to study remotely or to you know, maybe study part
33:15
Speaker 2: time instead of full time so that you know you
33:17
Speaker 2: can still work and take care of your family and yourself. Like,
33:21
Speaker 2: you have the flexibility to kind of make this work
33:25
Speaker 2: with your life, and I think you just need to
33:27
Speaker 2: make the space for it and give yourself permission to
33:30
Speaker 2: do it and pursue something that you are clearly passionate about.
33:34
Speaker 2: And you've said that you're working now as a care
33:36
Speaker 2: which I think is great because it seems like probably
33:39
Speaker 2: a lot of those people skills that you've learned in
33:41
Speaker 2: your current career could transfer into something in psychology.
33:45
Speaker 3: So there will be things.
33:46
Speaker 2: From your current career that you'll be able to apply
33:49
Speaker 2: to this new chapter if you do decide to pursue it.
