Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hawkgirl Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly.
0:20
Speaker 2: Reminder that it's a new day.
0:21
Speaker 1: A new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:24
Speaker 1: you to become the Hawkgirl Energy you want to attract.
0:27
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. I apologize for
0:32
Speaker 1: not posting an episode last week. If you saw my
0:34
Speaker 1: Instagram story, I talked about how my microphone was causing
0:40
Speaker 1: some issues for the past few episodes. I've had a
0:43
Speaker 1: few comments on Spotify just saying that my microphone was
0:47
Speaker 1: either too high or too low and everyone was having
0:50
Speaker 1: issues with the volume.
0:52
Speaker 2: So I apologize for that.
0:53
Speaker 1: I'm not really up to date on the Spotify comments,
0:57
Speaker 1: like I probably checked maybe once a month. I don't
0:59
Speaker 1: check weekly, and maybe I should be checking weekly, because
1:03
Speaker 1: that is one hundred percent my fault for not noticing
1:06
Speaker 1: and seeing the feedback about how the episodes were not
1:09
Speaker 1: sounding right and we're just kind of sounding too loud
1:13
Speaker 1: or too quiet for some people. So it's just kind
1:15
Speaker 1: of funny how literally there were some people that were saying,
1:17
Speaker 1: you're yelling, and then there's other people that were saying
1:20
Speaker 1: you're too quiet.
1:20
Speaker 2: You need to turn it up.
1:21
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping this new microphone that I'm currently using
1:25
Speaker 1: now is working well. Please comment down below if you
1:29
Speaker 1: think it sounds okay. I spent a lot of money
1:32
Speaker 1: on this microphone. Okay, I decided to invest in a
1:36
Speaker 1: really good one because obviously this is my job. So
1:38
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, We're just gonna put the
1:41
Speaker 1: visa down and just close my eyes and just check
1:43
Speaker 1: out because she was quite expensive. But I'm hoping this
1:47
Speaker 1: sounds a lot better for you guys. And yeah, just
1:50
Speaker 1: let me know in the comments if you think this
1:51
Speaker 1: sounds better throughout this episode. That way, I know going
1:55
Speaker 1: forward that everything sounds good. So we're gonna get into
1:58
Speaker 1: the episode shortly. I wanted to do an episode around
2:02
Speaker 1: the Hawk Girl winter prep because I feel like we
2:05
Speaker 1: are so close to the winter season. We're actually getting snow,
2:10
Speaker 1: I believe early next week. Apparently it could also not
2:14
Speaker 1: happen from the weather forecast. It's saying that it might
2:16
Speaker 1: potentially snow next week. So I'm like, you know what,
2:19
Speaker 1: we got to start talking about how we're going to
2:21
Speaker 1: prep for the winter season because I personally feel like
2:24
Speaker 1: I get the winter uglies all the time, and to
2:27
Speaker 1: be fully transparent, I'm feeling them now.
2:30
Speaker 2: I'm feeling a little pale. You know. Obviously it's the
2:32
Speaker 2: colder season, so I'm not really going outside as much.
2:36
Speaker 2: I'm staying more inside the house.
2:37
Speaker 1: I'm getting, you know, only twenty minute walks in instead
2:40
Speaker 1: of an hour walk in, so everything just feels a
2:43
Speaker 1: little different, and just obviously making adjustments to my routine
2:47
Speaker 1: is always needed going into a new season. So I
2:50
Speaker 1: wanted to share some things that I'm kind of doing
2:52
Speaker 1: throughout the winter season just to feel like my hottest
2:56
Speaker 1: self and still feel really confident in myself and just
2:59
Speaker 1: making these non negotiable for whenever I'm feeling the winter uglies.
3:03
Speaker 1: So before getting into that episode, I kind of wanted
3:05
Speaker 1: to do a bit of a weekly catch up just
3:07
Speaker 1: because it's been a long time since we chatted last.
3:09
Speaker 1: But new microphone. We love it, we're excited about it,
3:13
Speaker 1: we're hoping that it works. And then we also have
3:17
Speaker 1: some Christmas decor planning here. Okay, it is the first
3:22
Speaker 1: week of November. I am only thinking about Christmas. I
3:25
Speaker 1: am a Christmas girl throwing through I love the holiday season.
3:29
Speaker 1: I love decorating my house, and I always love decorating
3:32
Speaker 1: early because a it gives inspiration for you guys, because I.
3:36
Speaker 2: Know a lot of you guys like to see kind
3:37
Speaker 2: of what I do to my house.
3:39
Speaker 1: But I also like to decorate early because you only
3:41
Speaker 1: have the Christmas decorations up for usually four weeks, and
3:45
Speaker 1: I don't think that's enough in my opinion, so I
3:47
Speaker 1: like to start in November. That way, get almost around
3:50
Speaker 1: eight weeks of the decor in the house.
3:52
Speaker 2: And I put so much work.
3:54
Speaker 1: I'm talking like it's usually a three day thing for
3:56
Speaker 1: me to decorate the entire house, like when you think
3:59
Speaker 1: about the Christmas tree, the garland on the stairs, the
4:03
Speaker 1: you know porch if you want to decorate your outside porch,
4:05
Speaker 1: adding the little details to certain areas of my coffee
4:09
Speaker 1: nook or my shelves, or whatever the case may be.
4:11
Speaker 1: But it's so much work, and I'm sure if you
4:14
Speaker 1: guys decorate your house or your bedroom, you get it.
4:17
Speaker 1: It's a lot of work and I personally just would
4:20
Speaker 1: rather have it up as long as I can, and
4:22
Speaker 1: usually in January, by like the first week of January,
4:25
Speaker 1: I usually like to obviously reset the house, go into
4:29
Speaker 1: the new year with a fresh plate of the house
4:31
Speaker 1: being you know, fully back to normal. So I'd rather
4:34
Speaker 1: start early, decorate now, and then have it all reset
4:37
Speaker 1: for January.
4:39
Speaker 2: So I'm very excited.
4:40
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a pretty good idea of
4:43
Speaker 1: how I'm going to kind of create my theme this year.
4:46
Speaker 1: This is also our last Christmas in this house, which
4:49
Speaker 1: is so crazy to think about that because we've had
4:52
Speaker 1: i think the past four Christmases here and I love
4:56
Speaker 1: this house so much and I'm going to miss it
4:57
Speaker 1: so much.
4:58
Speaker 2: It truly was the most first house.
5:01
Speaker 1: But I'm very excited for the new place, and I
5:03
Speaker 1: think you guys are going to break out when you
5:06
Speaker 1: see the new house. We hired interior designers to kind
5:10
Speaker 1: of help us through the process of building with a
5:13
Speaker 1: new builder. So I feel like hiring the interior designers
5:17
Speaker 1: was the right move because I think they're going to
5:19
Speaker 1: know little secrets of how to make the house just
5:22
Speaker 1: feel more custom by knowing what the builders are, you know,
5:26
Speaker 1: allowed to go above and beyond four if we want
5:28
Speaker 1: to like make huge adjustments in the kitchen, if we
5:31
Speaker 1: want to make changes to the floors, or you know,
5:34
Speaker 1: there might be things that they have contacts for when
5:36
Speaker 1: it comes to finding better things externally versus going through
5:40
Speaker 1: the builders. So we've talked about going through, you know,
5:43
Speaker 1: a different company for the countertops in the kitchen versus
5:46
Speaker 1: going with the builder. So just kind of like sneak
5:49
Speaker 1: peaks of that for the new house. So I don't know,
5:52
Speaker 1: I think it was the right move. And these two
5:54
Speaker 1: designers I've actually followed four years. They were actually my
5:58
Speaker 1: inspiration for this house. I have followed them for a
6:02
Speaker 1: long time. They are based in Ottawa as well, and
6:04
Speaker 1: a lot of the furniture pieces I bought for this
6:05
Speaker 1: house I solely bought because of their houses, like they
6:09
Speaker 1: do such an amazing job with interior design, so I
6:12
Speaker 1: knew if I was going to hire someone for the house,
6:14
Speaker 1: it was going to be those two girls because they
6:16
Speaker 1: know what they're doing and they also are super sweet.
6:19
Speaker 1: So very excited to show new house content. A lot
6:23
Speaker 1: of stuff will be up in the coming weeks. We
6:25
Speaker 1: have like three appointments buked for November and then I
6:28
Speaker 1: think we have two more booked for December, so it's
6:30
Speaker 1: going to be very busy these next few weeks.
6:32
Speaker 2: But I'm very excited to share the journey.
6:34
Speaker 1: So if you guys want to see a lot of
6:35
Speaker 1: house content that will be on Instagram and TikTok. But yeah,
6:38
Speaker 1: so last Christmas in this house. I'm excited but also
6:42
Speaker 1: kind of sad at the same time. But I want
6:44
Speaker 1: to go out with a bang and still make the
6:46
Speaker 1: house feel very cozy, very festive, and I'm excited for
6:51
Speaker 1: you guys to see how I decorate the place.
6:53
Speaker 2: So let's get into today's episode.
6:55
Speaker 1: We have twelve things that we're going to talk about
6:57
Speaker 1: that I think is essential for a win her season
7:00
Speaker 1: prep of how we can get out of the winter
7:03
Speaker 1: uglies and just feel our hottest self and most confident self.
7:06
Speaker 1: So the first thing you're going to do is you're
7:08
Speaker 1: going to create a list of weekly self care rituals.
7:11
Speaker 1: What are things that make you feel good when you
7:14
Speaker 1: actually put the effort in your self care routine.
7:16
Speaker 2: So, is it exfoliating once a week.
7:19
Speaker 1: Is it doing a deep hair mask where you're doing
7:21
Speaker 1: like a deep condition of you know, really hydrating your hair.
7:25
Speaker 1: Is it doing you know, face masks or eyemass. Is
7:28
Speaker 1: it doing a weekly self tanner. It could be so
7:31
Speaker 1: many different things, but I feel like dedicating one day
7:34
Speaker 1: a week.
7:35
Speaker 2: This could be like on a Sunday where you just
7:38
Speaker 2: like do everything.
7:39
Speaker 1: You exfoliate, you do a hair mask, you maybe leave
7:42
Speaker 1: it in for like an hour. You can do self
7:44
Speaker 1: tanner at the same time, maybe put on a face mask,
7:47
Speaker 1: then get in the shower. Once you're self tanner, you
7:50
Speaker 1: know the time runs out. Let's say it's a thirty
7:52
Speaker 1: minute self tanner set in, or it could be an hour.
7:55
Speaker 1: You then get in the shower, take it all off,
7:57
Speaker 1: You're in your cozy pjs, you're watching your TV show,
8:00
Speaker 1: you're reading a book.
8:02
Speaker 2: Like the vibes are immaculate for a Sunday night.
8:04
Speaker 1: So find a day once a week to kind of
8:07
Speaker 1: just really focus on self care habits that make you
8:10
Speaker 1: feel good going into a new week. I feel like
8:13
Speaker 1: Sunday or a Monday night is crucial for self care
8:16
Speaker 1: because I think it sets yourself up for a successful week.
8:20
Speaker 1: You feel better, you have a better mindset going into
8:22
Speaker 1: the week. You're just feeling more confident. I always say
8:25
Speaker 1: a tan truly is my care of happiness. I'm not
8:29
Speaker 1: even kidding, Like I feel so much more confident with
8:31
Speaker 1: a tan. So, you know, exfoliating and doing the self
8:34
Speaker 1: tannered routine is definitely a non negotiable for me during
8:37
Speaker 1: the winter season. So I haven't gotten too the self
8:40
Speaker 1: tanner yet, but I'm hoping to start that honestly in
8:43
Speaker 1: the coming weeks because we're getting so close to it.
8:46
Speaker 1: And then again, just I always try and do imass honestly,
8:49
Speaker 1: like three to four times a week in the morning.
8:51
Speaker 2: You guys probably see that in my morning routine videos
8:53
Speaker 2: that I'm always doing. Iyemass, I love them. I just
8:55
Speaker 2: find them so hydrating.
8:57
Speaker 1: Brands that I personally really love are summer Fridays. They
9:01
Speaker 1: have a really great i'mask. I also love the brand
9:04
Speaker 1: Peter Roth. I think it is really really good Imass.
9:08
Speaker 1: I just recently tried the Road Imass. I feel like
9:11
Speaker 1: I haven't used it enough to give you guys, like
9:14
Speaker 1: an honest review on it. I like them, I just honestly,
9:17
Speaker 1: like wouldn't say that I've seen massive results out of it,
9:20
Speaker 1: and I feel like I need to use it a
9:21
Speaker 1: little bit more to get my honest opinion on that.
9:24
Speaker 1: I feel like the Road Iemass would be really good
9:27
Speaker 1: if I put them in the freezer, So I.
9:29
Speaker 2: Think I'm gonna try that the next time because I.
9:31
Speaker 1: Feel like the cooling will just make it feel so good,
9:35
Speaker 1: So we'll give you an update on that.
9:37
Speaker 2: But I have tried the road Imass.
9:39
Speaker 1: I like them so far, but I do feel like
9:41
Speaker 1: I need to give a better review once I've used
9:44
Speaker 1: it for like an entire month.
9:45
Speaker 2: So we'll keep you posted on that.
9:47
Speaker 1: And then for a good hair mask, I really love
9:50
Speaker 1: the brand way they have great hair mass along with
9:53
Speaker 1: the brand Redkin.
9:54
Speaker 2: I use Redkin's.
9:56
Speaker 1: Shampoo and conditioner, and they have this like leven shot
10:00
Speaker 1: hair mass that my hairdresser actually recommended, and I absolutely
10:04
Speaker 1: love using that usually once every two weeks.
10:07
Speaker 2: I don't do it weekly, but I find it.
10:09
Speaker 1: Gives my hair that like glossy, shiny look, especially when
10:12
Speaker 1: I need my hair to just like look better than
10:16
Speaker 1: what it does.
10:17
Speaker 2: Sometimes.
10:18
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes my hair just feels like super dry,
10:20
Speaker 1: and I just feel like doing a hair mass just
10:22
Speaker 1: like makes it feel so much more hydrating and it
10:25
Speaker 1: just gives that like glossy look, which is what I want.
10:28
Speaker 1: Another thing I love to do usually during the winter
10:31
Speaker 1: season is really focus on red light therapy.
10:34
Speaker 2: I personally feel like red light therapy is a huge
10:37
Speaker 2: game changer. It helps my skin so so much.
10:40
Speaker 1: I feel like my skin is so dry during the
10:43
Speaker 1: winter season, so I'm obviously using like thicker moisturizers, but
10:47
Speaker 1: I feel like the red light therapy really just gets
10:49
Speaker 1: my skin under control. And I know these face masks
10:52
Speaker 1: are not cheap. I totally get it. That's not something
10:54
Speaker 1: you can do. I so respect that, but if you can,
10:58
Speaker 1: or something to think about from maybe Christmas gift. I
11:01
Speaker 1: think there is some affordable brands out there that do
11:03
Speaker 1: red light therapy, but I just think it's.
11:06
Speaker 2: Also a great way to boost your mood.
11:07
Speaker 1: Red light therapy is actually supposed to be a mood
11:10
Speaker 1: booster and just help you when you're feeling down. So
11:13
Speaker 1: it's great for your skin, it's great for aging, and
11:16
Speaker 1: then also just great.
11:17
Speaker 2: For your mood in general.
11:18
Speaker 1: So I like to do this usually for ten minutes,
11:21
Speaker 1: and I usually like to do it like twice a week.
11:24
Speaker 1: And yeah, I've been using this space mask now for
11:26
Speaker 1: almost two years and I just love it so much
11:29
Speaker 1: and I do feel like it really is a huge
11:31
Speaker 1: game changer for me. Another thing that I think is
11:33
Speaker 1: a non negotiable is having a consistent supplement routine. There's
11:38
Speaker 1: something about supplements that I feel like makes me just
11:41
Speaker 1: feel really good because I know I'm doing something good
11:44
Speaker 1: for myself. So I feel like when you have a
11:47
Speaker 1: consistent routine of doing it in the morning and doing
11:49
Speaker 1: it in the night, you feel like you have your
11:51
Speaker 1: shit together. Like I don't know how to explain it,
11:52
Speaker 1: but you just feel like you're focusing on yourself, you're
11:54
Speaker 1: working on yourself, and you're doing something good for yourself.
11:57
Speaker 1: So certain supplements I've been taking in the wing is colostrum.
12:01
Speaker 1: I also have been taking a prebiotic probiotic, which is
12:04
Speaker 1: a drink that I usually have in the morning before
12:07
Speaker 1: I eat my breakfast, So that's kind of the supplements
12:09
Speaker 1: I've been taking. I've also recently added brazil nuts to
12:13
Speaker 1: my routine because I'm going to talk about this in
12:16
Speaker 1: another episode maybe next week, to be honest about my
12:19
Speaker 1: prepping for pregnancy journey. If you guys didn't know, I
12:23
Speaker 1: feel like that's just such a funny thing to talk.
12:25
Speaker 2: About here in the podcast. But Zach and I are
12:27
Speaker 2: not actively trying right now.
12:29
Speaker 1: We're absolutely not actively trying, but we are thinking about
12:32
Speaker 1: trying within the next year. And so I want to
12:35
Speaker 1: mentally and physically become my healthiest self, and so I've
12:39
Speaker 1: done a lot of research a lot, a lot of
12:41
Speaker 1: research on the whole journey of just you know, prepping
12:44
Speaker 1: for pregnancy. Things that I can do for my health
12:46
Speaker 1: and my body when it comes to like certain workouts,
12:50
Speaker 1: you know, making sure my menstrual.
12:51
Speaker 2: Cycles under control. I'm reading books.
12:54
Speaker 1: That I have to do a lot with nutrition and
12:56
Speaker 1: lifestyle when it comes to preconception. All that so very
13:00
Speaker 1: much another episode that I can do if you guys
13:03
Speaker 1: are interested in hearing my story when it comes to that.
13:07
Speaker 1: But I've been taking specific supplements to kind of like
13:10
Speaker 1: help me through this journey. So I feel like I've
13:12
Speaker 1: been a lot more focused on my supplements because of that.
13:15
Speaker 1: But I've been feeling really good because I've been making
13:17
Speaker 1: it a priority. So I feel like if you take
13:20
Speaker 1: certain supplements in the morning and night, I think it's
13:22
Speaker 1: going to be a huge game changer for yourself. You're
13:24
Speaker 1: going to feel really good knowing that taking these things
13:27
Speaker 1: are going to be making a huge benefit in your lifestyle.
13:29
Speaker 1: Another thing that I started taking at night recently is magnesium.
13:33
Speaker 2: This has changed a game for me, Oh my goodness.
13:36
Speaker 1: The brand that I'm using is the brand Pro Mix,
13:39
Speaker 1: and my nights have just felt so much more peaceful,
13:43
Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm actually having a really resting sleep,
13:46
Speaker 1: Like I wake up and I feel so well rested.
13:49
Speaker 1: My body doesn't feel a sore, which is nice because
13:52
Speaker 1: I feel like, obviously I'm working out like five to
13:55
Speaker 1: six times a week, and as much as I love it,
13:56
Speaker 1: my body kind of tells me that you're overdoing it,
14:00
Speaker 1: like your muscles are sore, whatever. But me taking this
14:03
Speaker 1: magnesium every single night, I feel like my muscle haven't
14:06
Speaker 1: been as achy. And there's just so many benefits to
14:09
Speaker 1: taking magnesium. So if you're not, I highly recommend it
14:13
Speaker 1: including it into your night routine.
14:15
Speaker 2: It's literally a game changer before you go to bed.
14:17
Speaker 1: And then I'm also taking a prenatal vitamin, which again
14:20
Speaker 1: has to do with kind of like my pregnancy prep,
14:23
Speaker 1: and I've been taking that at night before I go
14:26
Speaker 1: to sleep, So that's kind of like my supplement routine
14:28
Speaker 1: right now.
14:29
Speaker 2: But I feel like that's.
14:30
Speaker 1: Been a huge game changer for me, and I just
14:32
Speaker 1: have been feeling really, really good, and I think it
14:35
Speaker 1: has a lot to do with just like having a
14:37
Speaker 1: consistent supplement routine in the morning and night. Another thing
14:40
Speaker 1: that I really enjoy, specifically in the winter season is.
14:43
Speaker 2: Heated workout classes.
14:45
Speaker 1: I feel like doing a heated workout class and the
14:47
Speaker 1: winter hits so much more different than doing it in
14:49
Speaker 1: the summer. There's like hot yoga, there's hot mac classes
14:52
Speaker 1: you could go to. The one that I specifically go
14:55
Speaker 1: to is Oxygen, And what I love about it is
14:57
Speaker 1: that it's an infrared sauna, so you're also getting the
15:01
Speaker 1: benefit of that sauna heat. So it's kind of like
15:04
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds where you're getting a good
15:06
Speaker 1: sweating but you're also getting the infrared sauna. I also
15:08
Speaker 1: just feel like it feels really good to walk outside
15:11
Speaker 1: when it's kind of cold out, especially after a heated class.
15:14
Speaker 1: You're obviously super sweaty, but I feel like that feeling
15:17
Speaker 1: just feels so refreshing. I also feel like it just
15:20
Speaker 1: kind of like wakes me up, Like I'm going into
15:22
Speaker 1: my day and I'm like, Okay, whoa, I feel awake,
15:24
Speaker 1: I feel ready to take on the day. So I
15:27
Speaker 1: try and do that at least one to two times
15:29
Speaker 1: a week, and I really do think it's the key
15:32
Speaker 1: to feeling your hot at self this winter, because not
15:35
Speaker 1: only are you getting the sauna benefits, but you're getting
15:37
Speaker 1: a good workout, you're getting good sweat again.
15:39
Speaker 2: It's once a week. It feels really really good.
15:42
Speaker 1: And I think in general, just in the winter, it's
15:45
Speaker 1: so important to try and book workout classes because it's
15:49
Speaker 1: so important to get out of the house during the
15:51
Speaker 1: colder months. Even if you do want to hibernate and
15:54
Speaker 1: never leave your house, that's so me Like, I never
15:57
Speaker 1: want to leave the house. I love being in the
15:59
Speaker 1: comfort of my own home when.
16:00
Speaker 2: It's super cold out.
16:01
Speaker 1: But building a consistent workout schedule and pushing yourself to
16:05
Speaker 1: get out of the house is so so important, and
16:08
Speaker 1: you feel really good when you do. It just feels
16:10
Speaker 1: like a mini win, like a mini accomplishment for you,
16:12
Speaker 1: pushing yourself to get out, get a workout in, come
16:15
Speaker 1: back home, and yeah again, it's just like a little
16:18
Speaker 1: win that you can go into the day knowing that you,
16:21
Speaker 1: you know, push yourself to get a good workout in.
16:23
Speaker 1: So having a consistent workout routine is also key throughout
16:27
Speaker 1: the winter season.
16:28
Speaker 2: Another thing that.
16:28
Speaker 1: I find is a non negotiable is finding winter clothes
16:32
Speaker 1: that make you feel chic. So I'm gonna be honest,
16:35
Speaker 1: a winter coat. It's never that cute like some are cute,
16:39
Speaker 1: some are not. I have a winter coat that is cute,
16:43
Speaker 1: but I need the long winter coats because it's so
16:46
Speaker 1: cold where I live that it's just a non negotiable,
16:49
Speaker 1: Like I need to have the long Ritzia super puff
16:53
Speaker 1: when I'm walking Freddy. But then I also have like
16:55
Speaker 1: my chic cute winter puffers that are like the short ones. Again,
16:59
Speaker 1: I get all my puffers from Aritzia. I love their
17:02
Speaker 1: winter jackets so much. They're a pretty affordable price point
17:05
Speaker 1: as well, but they have a lot of fun colors,
17:08
Speaker 1: a lot of cute different styles.
17:10
Speaker 2: But I feel like when I can dress.
17:12
Speaker 1: Up in that like cute winter jacket going outside with
17:15
Speaker 1: my cute winter boots, like I feel more put together.
17:19
Speaker 1: And I feel like winter fashion is just something that's
17:21
Speaker 1: really hard to style.
17:23
Speaker 2: It's not exactly the most beautiful, you know, fashion that
17:28
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. Like fall fashion is impeccable.
17:30
Speaker 1: Like it truly is amazing, but winter fashion, I feel like,
17:34
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just isn't it. But I feel
17:36
Speaker 1: like there's ways to make it look cute by having
17:38
Speaker 1: more of like a fun color winter jacket, you know,
17:41
Speaker 1: accessorizing all that which brings us into the next topic,
17:46
Speaker 1: which is accessories. Whenever I feel like I'm not feeling
17:51
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, like just having my winter uglies and
17:55
Speaker 1: I'm wearing maybe a sweat set at home and I'm
17:57
Speaker 1: just not feeling confident, I feel like when I add
17:59
Speaker 1: accessor to my outfit, it just makes the outfit look
18:02
Speaker 1: ten times better. So, you know, if I'm wearing a
18:04
Speaker 1: sweat set, sometimes I'll add like gold chunky hoops, I'll
18:07
Speaker 1: add my blue leg glasses, and then usually I'll do
18:11
Speaker 1: a little bit of makeup, and I feel ten times
18:14
Speaker 1: more confident, ten times more put together. It's the simplest
18:17
Speaker 1: way of just elevating an outfit. So same thing with
18:20
Speaker 1: the winter coats. You can elevate it by adding a
18:22
Speaker 1: cute handbag or adding a cute, you know, pair.
18:25
Speaker 2: Of earrings, or whatever the case may be.
18:26
Speaker 1: So just finding ways to accessorize, I think makes you
18:29
Speaker 1: feel more chic and it's just a great way to
18:31
Speaker 1: kind of style your winter fits. Which also kind of
18:35
Speaker 1: talks about my next non negotiable, which is the ten
18:39
Speaker 1: minute get ready rule. So I spend ten minutes every
18:43
Speaker 1: single day to put on a little bit of skincare,
18:45
Speaker 1: a little bit of makeup because it makes me just
18:48
Speaker 1: feel way more put together and just hotter.
18:50
Speaker 2: In general.
18:52
Speaker 1: I feel like using like darker bronzers, which make you
18:55
Speaker 1: feel a bit more tanner, or you know, darker blushes
18:58
Speaker 1: during the winter season just kind of like enhances your
19:02
Speaker 1: features and makes you just feel a little bit more
19:04
Speaker 1: tan a little bit more I don't know, just alive
19:08
Speaker 1: and glowing in a sense. And I also love to
19:11
Speaker 1: add some freckles and some lipliner, a little bit of
19:14
Speaker 1: lip gloss, don't wear any foundation. Sometimes I'll put a
19:17
Speaker 1: little bit of concealer on as well. But I just
19:20
Speaker 1: think doing a ten minute glow up every single morning
19:25
Speaker 1: just makes you feel ten times better going into your day,
19:27
Speaker 1: boost my mood and really just encourages me to sometimes
19:30
Speaker 1: get out of the house.
19:32
Speaker 2: Do things, film myself whatever. Right, So I just feel like.
19:36
Speaker 1: Spending ten minutes doing a little bit of makeup will
19:39
Speaker 1: just make you feel so much better going into your day,
19:42
Speaker 1: And as I said, you'll just feel ten times more
19:44
Speaker 1: put together, more confident in yourself, And it just goes
19:48
Speaker 1: a long way when you spend those extra ten minutes
19:50
Speaker 1: on yourself with more of a positive mindset. Another thing
19:53
Speaker 1: is romanticizing this season. I think I've definitely talked about
19:57
Speaker 1: this a lot on the podcast, but I try I
20:00
Speaker 1: vouch this so much for every single season that we enter.
20:03
Speaker 1: But romanticizing your life is so crucial because if you
20:07
Speaker 1: don't do this, you are going to be so down
20:11
Speaker 1: and just like not feel your happiest self. I think
20:14
Speaker 1: romanticizing the little things at home, like making your coffee,
20:17
Speaker 1: for an example, is just so crucial. Turning on a
20:20
Speaker 1: YouTube video lighting your favorite candle, maybe turning on like
20:24
Speaker 1: some winter on Beyonce. You know how like YouTube you
20:27
Speaker 1: can search like Christmas am Beyonce or fall on Beyonce
20:30
Speaker 1: or Winter on Beyonce, and it like shows a cute
20:33
Speaker 1: little image on the screen that just looks like really
20:35
Speaker 1: festive and cute. That to me, is about romanticizing your life.
20:39
Speaker 1: It could have just been a basic coffee, but no,
20:41
Speaker 1: I put in the effort of putting on something on
20:43
Speaker 1: the TV, lighting a candle, really setting the vibe of
20:46
Speaker 1: the whole house while doing my.
20:49
Speaker 2: Favorite thing, which is making my coffee at home.
20:51
Speaker 1: So really, just finding ways to make your life feel
20:55
Speaker 1: more like a movie is the key to happiness in
20:59
Speaker 1: my opinions, So especially in the winter, if we're in
21:01
Speaker 1: the house a lot more, it's so important to just
21:03
Speaker 1: kind of like think about those little things that bring
21:05
Speaker 1: you so much joy and finding ways to romanticize it.
21:09
Speaker 2: This one is so.
21:10
Speaker 1: Crucial in my opinion. But make sure to set weekly
21:15
Speaker 1: social dates. So find today like once a week to
21:18
Speaker 1: meet up with a friend and just kind of get
21:20
Speaker 1: your social fix in. Because I am a victim to
21:23
Speaker 1: never wanting to leave my house during the winter season
21:26
Speaker 1: because again it's super cold out. I don't want to
21:28
Speaker 1: go outside and heat up my car. I don't want
21:30
Speaker 1: to have to scrape the ice off my windshield. Like
21:33
Speaker 1: I'll think of a billion excuses as to why I
21:36
Speaker 1: don't want to leave my house, putting on my winter boots,
21:38
Speaker 1: my winter jacket, layering, whatever.
21:41
Speaker 2: But I do know that when I do.
21:44
Speaker 1: Force myself out of the house and I get my
21:45
Speaker 1: social fix in, which is seeing a friend catching up,
21:48
Speaker 1: just getting out of the house, maybe going to a
21:50
Speaker 1: coffee shop just.
21:52
Speaker 2: To you know, have an hour chat and then coming
21:54
Speaker 2: back home.
21:55
Speaker 1: I feel so much better when I actually force myself
21:58
Speaker 1: to do that and just having that hour social fix
22:01
Speaker 1: of chatting with a friend catching up. I just feel
22:03
Speaker 1: like I go into my day with such a better
22:07
Speaker 1: mindset and also just like my week in general, of
22:10
Speaker 1: having that social fix just makes me feel good going
22:14
Speaker 1: into my work week.
22:15
Speaker 2: And yeah, so this could also just be.
22:17
Speaker 1: Like maybe starting a book club with friends, or just
22:20
Speaker 1: doing like a weekly catch up with your friends.
22:22
Speaker 2: Maybe find a night each week.
22:24
Speaker 1: That you guys could get together and do maybe a
22:26
Speaker 1: bit of cooking together. You could like change houses and
22:29
Speaker 1: like rotate and.
22:30
Speaker 2: Everyone takes a turn.
22:31
Speaker 1: Finding ways just to kind of get a weekly social
22:34
Speaker 1: date I think is so crucial. And again, our mental
22:37
Speaker 1: health is really low usually during the winter season because
22:41
Speaker 1: we're not getting out as much. So finding ways to
22:43
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, bring excitement to your week by
22:47
Speaker 1: having a social fix and a social date with a
22:50
Speaker 1: friend or friends in general, I think is really crucial
22:52
Speaker 1: to your mental health during the colder months. This next
22:56
Speaker 1: one is something that I'm trying to figure out what
22:58
Speaker 1: to do for the winter season, but binding a new
23:01
Speaker 1: hobby that will.
23:02
Speaker 2: Keep you busy.
23:03
Speaker 1: So it could be buying yourself a coloring book. I've
23:06
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people actually talk about buying color
23:10
Speaker 1: like adult coloring books, and they say it's so therapeutic.
23:14
Speaker 1: Zach and I actually painted pumpkins two weeks ago for Halloween,
23:19
Speaker 1: and it was very therapeutic, like just like not being
23:22
Speaker 1: on my phone, spending an hour with my husband, like
23:24
Speaker 1: painting pumpkins together. It was actually really fun. And he
23:27
Speaker 1: actually admitted it too. He's like, he probably doesn't want
23:30
Speaker 1: me to tell you guys this, but he was like, wait,
23:31
Speaker 1: this is actually kind of fun, Like it was kind
23:33
Speaker 1: of funny just to hear him say that and him
23:36
Speaker 1: actually enjoy the painting and just how therapeutic it was.
23:39
Speaker 1: And it just kind of feels like you're reliving things
23:43
Speaker 1: that you did within your childhood. So I feel like
23:45
Speaker 1: I could actually maybe look into the adult coloring book.
23:48
Speaker 1: I've seen a few people also talk about, like the
23:50
Speaker 1: Water Painting color Book, which is so beautiful, Like it
23:54
Speaker 1: literally looks like things that you could put in a
23:56
Speaker 1: frame and you could put it in your house, like
23:58
Speaker 1: really really cute stuff. You can also nich yourself a blanket,
24:02
Speaker 1: like get into crocheting. I've seen a lot of people
24:06
Speaker 1: make like cute, chunky blankets with like really thick yarn.
24:11
Speaker 2: So there's so many things that you could do.
24:13
Speaker 1: There's so many hobbies that you can take on but
24:16
Speaker 1: I think it's really nice to add those little things
24:17
Speaker 1: into your routine because it allows you to like not
24:20
Speaker 1: scroll on your phone as much and just kind of
24:23
Speaker 1: like separate your social media life and your personal life
24:26
Speaker 1: and not feel like you have to be on your
24:27
Speaker 1: phone all the time. I've been trying to read my
24:31
Speaker 1: book a lot lately. I've been trying to dedicate, you know,
24:34
Speaker 1: forty five minutes to reading. I'll walk on my treadmill
24:36
Speaker 1: for forty five minutes and I'll read my book at
24:38
Speaker 1: the same time. You know, sometimes I usually work when
24:41
Speaker 1: I'm walking on my treadmill, which is fine, Like I'll
24:44
Speaker 1: usually edit a video.
24:45
Speaker 2: While I'm walking.
24:46
Speaker 1: Been trying to change that up just because I feel
24:48
Speaker 1: like I definitely have a lot of time throughout the
24:51
Speaker 1: day to focus on work, like editing stuff on my
24:54
Speaker 1: phone and all that it could be done at a
24:56
Speaker 1: later time throughout the day. So I've kind of been
24:58
Speaker 1: focusing on read while walking on the treadmill early in
25:01
Speaker 1: the morning.
25:02
Speaker 2: And it's just felt really really good to kill two
25:04
Speaker 2: birds with one stone.
25:05
Speaker 1: And I always talk about habit stacking and how important
25:08
Speaker 1: it is to do multiple things at once because it
25:10
Speaker 1: makes your life easier and you can get so much
25:13
Speaker 1: more done when you actually habit stacked. So yeah, reading
25:16
Speaker 1: my book, walking my treadmill has been my thing. That's
25:18
Speaker 1: not a hobby obviously, but I mean reading a book
25:21
Speaker 1: for me is like a hobby because I never I
25:23
Speaker 1: never do it, So me actually reading is something I'm
25:26
Speaker 1: really proud of and something that I really try and
25:29
Speaker 1: focus on to do daily. But yeah, getting the coloring
25:32
Speaker 1: book might be something that I could do that would
25:34
Speaker 1: be really fun to change it up, be therapeutic and
25:37
Speaker 1: again kind of distance myself from mindlessly scrolling on my phone.
25:41
Speaker 2: Okay, we have.
25:42
Speaker 1: Two more here, but the last two are making sure you're.
25:46
Speaker 2: Journaling and setting goals weekly.
25:49
Speaker 1: This is so important to do because again during the
25:52
Speaker 1: winter season, we're kind of low with our mental health,
25:55
Speaker 1: We're not really in the best mindset.
25:57
Speaker 2: So writing out things that you're grateful for, writing out
26:00
Speaker 2: goals that you want to achieve throughout the week.
26:02
Speaker 1: Again, having many goals throughout the week and achieving those
26:05
Speaker 1: many goals just kind of brings some happiness into your
26:08
Speaker 1: day and just kind of reminds you how proud you
26:11
Speaker 1: should be of yourself for achieving those little things throughout
26:14
Speaker 1: the week.
26:15
Speaker 2: It could be small little things.
26:17
Speaker 1: Like going to the grocery store getting all the groceries
26:19
Speaker 1: you need. Maybe it's finishing a paper that you wanted
26:21
Speaker 1: to finish for school. It could be, you know, things
26:24
Speaker 1: that you wanted to catch up with for work. It
26:25
Speaker 1: could be so many things, but just achieving those little
26:28
Speaker 1: things brings some joy into your day. And then the
26:31
Speaker 1: last one that I think is a non negotiable for
26:34
Speaker 1: your hawkgirl winter prep is monthly self care appointments. This
26:39
Speaker 1: could be a nail appointment, it could be a hair appointment.
26:42
Speaker 1: It could be booking a spray tand it could be
26:44
Speaker 1: going to the spa with a friend. It could be
26:46
Speaker 1: getting a massage, it could be getting your hair done.
26:48
Speaker 1: Like there's so many ideas of a monthly self care
26:52
Speaker 1: appointment that you can do, but dedicating one of those
26:54
Speaker 1: appointments once a month throughout the winter season will literally
26:58
Speaker 1: change your mindset much. You'll feel so much better, you know,
27:02
Speaker 1: just actually focusing and investing in yourself in something that
27:06
Speaker 1: makes you feel good. So for me, I love getting
27:08
Speaker 1: spray hands. That for me is a huge confidence booster.
27:12
Speaker 1: I always feel ten times better when I have a
27:14
Speaker 1: spray can. I always feel so so good when I
27:16
Speaker 1: have a spray can. I also love doing monthly nail appointments.
27:20
Speaker 1: I always get my fingers and toes done. That for
27:23
Speaker 1: me is just a non negotiable. I feel always really
27:25
Speaker 1: put together when I have my nails done. It could
27:27
Speaker 1: also be just booking a spa date with your friend
27:30
Speaker 1: going to get massages.
27:31
Speaker 2: If you haven't gotten a massage in weeks.
27:33
Speaker 1: Or years or months, this might be a sign for
27:36
Speaker 1: you to do it because it's so relaxing. It feels
27:39
Speaker 1: so good just to get all the knots out in
27:41
Speaker 1: your neck or your back, especially if you're someone that
27:44
Speaker 1: works from a computer or an office. Sorry, you know,
27:48
Speaker 1: getting a deep tissue massage for your neck and back.
27:51
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you have no idea how tight those
27:54
Speaker 1: areas get.
27:55
Speaker 2: I'm a victim to it.
27:56
Speaker 1: I love getting massages, and you know, sometimes when I'm
28:01
Speaker 1: working on my phone or on my computer all the time,
28:03
Speaker 1: I get super tight around my neck and back, and
28:05
Speaker 1: I feel like whenever I get a massage, I feel
28:06
Speaker 1: like a new human being.
28:08
Speaker 2: I feel so much less tight.
28:10
Speaker 1: I feel like my body just doesn't feel as stress
28:13
Speaker 1: because of the massage. I just feel like it's kind
28:15
Speaker 1: of releasing any tension or stress that your body might
28:18
Speaker 1: be holding.
28:19
Speaker 2: So this is your.
28:20
Speaker 1: Sign if you haven't gotten massage, to treat yourself to one,
28:23
Speaker 1: but just getting out of the house, treating yourself to
28:26
Speaker 1: a pamper appointment. Like I said, it could be a
28:28
Speaker 1: hair appointment, nail appointment, spray tand it just always feels
28:31
Speaker 1: so so good investing in yourself and you always feel
28:34
Speaker 1: tenttons hotter when you're actually doing these little things, and
28:38
Speaker 1: especially during the winter season, we need to get out
28:41
Speaker 1: of our winter ugly phase and doing these little things
28:44
Speaker 1: that just kind of make us feel better.
28:45
Speaker 2: About ourself is so crucial.
28:48
Speaker 1: So those are just the twelve non negotiables that I
28:50
Speaker 1: personally think are the key to feeling hotter this winter season.
28:54
Speaker 1: So if you're someone like me that you know feels
28:56
Speaker 1: the winter uglies a bit or just kind of feels down,
28:59
Speaker 1: take these tips going into the winter season, and I
29:02
Speaker 1: do think it would make a huge difference with your
29:04
Speaker 1: mental health, how you're feeling, your confidence all that. So
29:08
Speaker 1: make sure to reference this podcast episode if you really
29:12
