Hello you guys, and welcome back to another episode of the Hawkerel Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kaylei, and this is your weekly reminder that it's
0:20
a new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day
0:23
if you become the Hawkrel energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:28
Happy Tuesday, and I hope you guys are having an amazing week so far.
0:32
Welcome to the second week of twenty twenty four. I personally had a
0:38
really good week last week. I felt like I was well rested from the
0:43
break during the holiday season, and then this week, I feel like things
0:46
are starting to get busy again and overwhelming. But that's okay. I'm just
0:50
trying to manage that and yeah, trying to push through it. But I
0:56
am feeling so low energy today and I've been having a really hard time falling
1:02
asleep. I don't know if anyone else has been feeling that way. I
1:04
don't know what's in the air, but I feel like I've been having such
1:07
a hard time, like actually getting to sleep, and I try so hard,
1:11
Like lights are out by like nine p thirty, Zach's already passed out.
1:15
I'm trying so hard to Like you know, not overthink or not think
1:21
about anything. I'm that kind of person where I think the best at night,
1:25
if that makes sense, Like when it comes to my career or content
1:27
wise or anything like that, or wedding wise. All of my best ideas
1:33
come out of my mind in the middle of the night. It's so weird.
1:36
So sometimes when I think of good ideas, I'll write it down in
1:38
my notes whatever. But last night there was just I don't even know,
1:42
like I just was maybe overthinking about stuff. I have no idea, but
1:46
I didn't fall asleep to like eleven thirty maybe, So that was two hours
1:49
of me tossing and turning in the bed and it just wasn't a good night's
1:53
sleep. But last week I started to take the Sleepy Girl mocktail. If
1:59
you guys follow me in Instagram, you guys probably sell the real that I
2:00
made. But I didn't make up the recipe. That was obviously a recipe
2:04
that I've found through TikTok. I use melotonin enhance collagen, but magnesium is
2:10
what is recommended, just because that's honestly better to take rather than the melotonin.
2:16
I just had it in my cabinet, so I decided to use it.
2:19
But basically what you do is you add pure cherry juice, magnesium powder
2:27
or the enhanced collagen from Organica, which is a melatonin powder that has in
2:31
it. It's not pure melotonin, it just has the melotonin in it,
2:35
and then you mix it with soda water, so you can mix it with
2:39
you a flavored soda water that you like, maybe poppy, or just plain
2:45
soda water, or even just regular water. It really doesn't matter. And
2:47
it tastes so good, like it's just a nice little drink to have before
2:51
ben and this thing made me pass out, like literally pass out, and
2:57
I had the best sleep in my life, like not even exaggerating. So
3:00
I don't want to do it every single night, but I'm trying to maybe
3:04
include it into my routine like three times a week. I don't know if
3:06
this is something that we should be taking every single night or something like on
3:08
the odd time when you feel like it's needed. I'll have to do more
3:13
research on that just to know. But because I don't want you guys like
3:15
drinking this drink every single night when you probably shouldn't be. But all I
3:19
know is is that it really helped me last week with falling asleep, and
3:23
it's something that I want to try and include in my night routine the odd
3:27
time. Like I said, I don't know if it's consistent thing or not,
3:29
so I will report back if it's something that we should be taking consistently
3:34
or once in a while, so I'll let you guys know about that.
3:36
But that's something I discovered last week and I really really felt like it made
3:39
a huge difference in my sleep schedule just from like falling asleep really easily just
3:45
makes you feel really really relaxed, which is nice. So anyways, other
3:49
than that, my week is starting off pretty good. Let's get into our
3:53
episode for the day. I really want to chat with you guys about some
3:57
of the ins and outs for twenty twenty four. I did a huge list
4:00
of things on my TikTok, so I talked about a lot of different ins
4:03
and outs on there. So I'm not going to be saying all of them
4:06
just because some of the things I mentioned in our previous podcast episode was also
4:11
an inn for twenty twenty four, so I don't really want to be repetitive
4:15
obviously. And then I also want to share some products that I was absolutely
4:18
obsessed with in twenty twenty three that I'll be bringing into twenty twenty four,
4:23
whether it's skincare related, wellness related, makeup products, trends, all that.
4:28
All right, So let's talk about the inns for twenty twenty four.
4:32
First off is no mascara. I've seen a few of you actually post Instagram
4:36
stories and tagging me about the no mascara look, and I'm obsessed with it,
4:41
So thank you guys for tagging me in that. That was so fun
4:44
to see. But essentially, I have been trying to avoid wearing mascara every
4:47
single day because I hate mascara. To be honest, I hate the feeling
4:53
of it. At the end of the day, when your eyes are itchy,
4:55
I just feel crusty. I hate that word, but that's like what
4:58
I personally feel like when I have mass scara on by the end of the
5:00
day. It's just so irritating. And I also hate taking it off,
5:04
like when I'm taking my makeup off, taking off mascara is such a bit
5:08
to deal with. So I've been wearing no mascara now for probably I want
5:13
to say all of lastreery, I didn't really wear mascara. The only time
5:15
I really wear mascara is when I'm going out, like if I'm going out
5:18
for dinner, or if I'm taking photos anything like that. Like I'll typically
5:23
wear mascara, but usually I do not. I'll just chrow my lashes and
5:27
literally just do like a light every day, no makeup, makeup look.
5:30
So I personally think no mascara is in for twenty twenty four. It's obviously
5:34
really good for your eyelash health. I've been taking the eyelash serum that I
5:40
got off Amazon. I'll have to figure out the name of it. I've
5:44
only used it for literally a week because I got it for Christmas. But
5:46
it's supposed to stimulate eyelash growth, and my lashes need some growth. So
5:53
I'm going to be applying this every single morning and night, and I'll keep
5:57
you guys posted if it's working it well. But I'm just trying to strengthen
6:00
my eyelashes, so no ma scara obviously is going to help that out.
6:04
Just feel like it's going to be really healthy for your eyes. To try
6:08
and avoid wearing musceric because it's such a pain in the ass to take off
6:11
during the day. So anyways, I think no mascara for twenty twenty four
6:15
is very very in the Other thing I'm bringing into twenty twenty four is I'm
6:19
trying to slowly get back into dairy. There has been a lot of mixed
6:27
opinions about dairy, and I totally understand that. I personally switched to non
6:30
dairy products when it became a thing, like when almond milk and oat milk
6:35
and all that became a really popular thing at least, And I literally only
6:40
switched just because I personally thought it would make me lose weight and it would
6:45
make me feel better and blah blah blah. And to be totally transparent,
6:49
that was not the right route to go down because I had no issues with
6:54
dairy. I wasn't lactose intolerant, I wasn't feeling sick when I just consume
6:59
dairy and like that, Like, I was totally fine. I literally just
7:01
switched because of YouTubers that I used to watch. They would recommend, you
7:05
know, oat milk and almond milk and all that, and I just thought,
7:10
Okay, well, if they're drinking it, I should be drinking it.
7:12
Right. It was back in the day when the toxic diet trends were
7:15
really in so I switched to that, and then a few years later I
7:18
tried to switch back to dairy, and my stomach was like, no,
7:23
what are you doing, Like you gotta get back on the almond milk and
7:27
oat milk train. So I've been trying to drink lactose free dairy for the
7:33
past year, like I've been doing that for the past year with zach lactose
7:36
free cream, lactose free cheese, and my stomach has not hurt from that.
7:42
So I think I do have some lactose issues and that's why I have
7:47
to stick to lactose free. Some of you guys might be like, why
7:50
are you doing that. I have heard some mixed opinions about oat milk and
7:56
almond milk specifically, there's a lot of added oils, a lot of adda
8:00
ingredients in some of the milks that we purchase, and I've been paying very
8:05
expensive amounts of money on very high quality oat milk and almond milk for the
8:11
past year. Like I'm don't even want to tell you guys how much I
8:13
spend in it, because it's actually ridiculous how much we spend in a really
8:18
clean oat milk and almond milk, but I feel like they're still not the
8:24
healthiest in my opinion, and I'm just really trying to better my health this
8:28
year. I will report back if the lactose free and dairy train continue for
8:33
twenty twenty four. I have slowly started to add it into my coffee for
8:37
an example, just starting off small. This is definitely not something you guys
8:41
all have to do. This is personally just something I'm doing for myself.
8:45
And if you're an oat milk gurly and an almond milk gurly, go you
8:48
like, that's totally fine, you do you. This is just something I'm
8:50
personally taking it for twenty twenty four for myself. Another thing I'm taking in
8:54
for twenty twenty four is I want to host more. I feel like last
8:58
year I was so focused on, you know, furnishing the house, getting
9:01
the house done all that, and this year, now that the house is
9:03
almost done, like we do have a few more rooms to do upstairs,
9:09
like finishing up my closet room and my office and then our basement we will
9:13
hope to get to at some point or we maybe moved out at the time.
9:16
We actually started to do something in the basement, but I really just
9:20
want to finish those two rooms upstairs and then I can finally do a full
9:22
house tour as well as just house more. Just have people here, have
9:28
some dinner parties. I love being with my friends and being in the comfort
9:31
of my own home while having them there is the best feeling. Like I
9:35
love to give back to my friends and just cook for my friends. And
9:41
yeah, just I love to also decorate my place, like really giving it
9:46
just fun host vibes. I don't know, I just like really want to
9:48
get into that more. So that's what I'm bringing into twenty twenty four is
9:52
hosting more and yeah, just having my friends over here more and last in
9:56
for twenty twenty four, this is something that I will alway be doing.
10:01
I've been a matching PJ girl for so long, Like literally, I'm obsessed
10:03
with matching pj's and if you are not a matching Pj's girly, you need
10:07
to get on it. It is a game changer. I feel so much
10:11
more put together when I'm going to sleep, even when I wake up seeing
10:15
me in a cute little set like, I feel good. I used to
10:18
wear, you know, just a gym shirt. And like gym shorts to
10:20
bed like nothing cute and I don't know, there's something about wearing a matching
10:24
PJ set that feels very luxurious. And yeah, so that is a huge
10:31
inn for twenty twenty four. All right, Next is the outs. The
10:33
outs is scrolling before bed. I am trying so hard to avoid scrolling on
10:39
my phone at least an hour before I actually had to sleep. Zach and
10:43
I did this in the beginning of last year, and we probably did it
10:46
for three months very consistently, of like no phones an hour before bed,
10:50
just him and I time watching TV whatever, like just completely having a digital
10:54
detox, like being away from our phone to the last hour before bed.
10:56
So I am bringing that back in for twenty twenty four, where we do
11:01
not go on our phones for an hour before we head to bed, just
11:03
put our phone to the side, scrolling less all that. I feel like
11:07
whenever I scroll on my phone before bed, that obviously plays a huge impact
11:11
on me falling asleep. I feel like when I'm staring at a screen for
11:13
so long, it just your brain is so stimulated and you're not rested and
11:18
you don't feel good. So avoiding being on your phone for that last hour.
11:22
I feel like relaxes your mind. It just like really allows you to
11:28
step away from social media and just yeah, it just feels like a good
11:33
digital de talks right before bed in my opinion, So we are scrolling less
11:37
for twenty twenty four before bed, and we're going to put that phone aside
11:41
and just focus on, yeah, relaxing and resting before we had to sleep.
11:45
Another out for twenty twenty four is bras. If I have the choice,
11:50
I would never wear a bra. I hate wearing bras. I feel
11:54
so uncomfortable wearing a bra. The only time you will catch me in a
11:56
bra is if I'm actually leave my house to go out for like a nice
12:01
dinner. Sometimes even when I do leave my house during the day, I'm
12:03
not wearing a bra. Depending on the top wearing. I just hate bras.
12:07
I will wear sports bra every time I have the chance to. I
12:11
will wear no bra and wear beggy sweaters all the freaking time. And as
12:15
I said, if I'm wearing like a nice outfit, then like I kind
12:18
of feel forced to wear a bra. But usually it's only for a short
12:20
period of time, right, Like, if you're going out for dinner,
12:22
usually it's only for like two to three hours, So we are going into
12:26
twenty twenty four with no bras. It's actually very healthy for you as well
12:28
to not wear a bra. Yeah, and it's also just so much more
12:33
comfortable. Like, let's be honest, like bras suck. They look great
12:37
on, but it's not necessary if you like to wear beggy sweaters or anything
12:41
like that. So more sports bras, less wired bras, or no bras
12:46
at all. Another out for twenty twenty four is reading messages and not responding.
12:52
I am so bad at this. Like my best friend will text me
12:56
and I'll take two days to respond to her sometimes, and I'm like,
12:58
frig why did I do that? Like I suck at not responding within the
13:05
day. It's not like I'm saying you should be like saying, yes,
13:07
I'm responding asap to people like a people pleaser. I'm not saying that,
13:11
But I personally just want to be better at responding to someone at least within
13:15
that day. Like I don't want to wait two days to have to respond
13:18
to her, especially if it's just like a normal question that she's asking or
13:22
just like a very like easy conversation that we're having like I just personally feel
13:26
bad when I don't respond to someone or even like an Instagram messages me and
13:31
I completely see it, and then I, you know, do something else
13:35
thinking that I'll go back to an answer, and then it's like four days
13:37
later and I'm like, holy crap, I forgot to answer this girl,
13:39
Like I feel bad, Like I truly feel bad. So I don't know.
13:43
I'm trying to find a combination of being able to not be people pleaser
13:48
by responding so fast, but also like not waiting so long where it looks
13:50
like Kille, you're kind of being a bitch, like you should respond to
13:54
her. So I'm trying to find that like in between where like I can
13:58
be you know, more responsive to someone and continual conversation with someone versus like
14:05
not like I'm purposely ignoring the person. But you know, things get busy,
14:07
things get in the way, and you almost put that on the back
14:11
burner. But I do want to make it a bit more priority of responding
14:13
to messages, you know, as important as some of them are, and
14:18
just being proactive with that. So that isn't out for twenty twenty four,
14:22
is just not responding at all, like we need to be reading our messages
14:26
and yeah, making it a priority. The last out for twenty twenty four,
14:30
and this is still something I'm working on. I feel like everybody could
14:31
work on. This is overthinking about the stupidest shit, Like, think of
14:37
a situation right now that you've overthought about and was it really worth overthinking about?
14:41
Probably not. I'm a huge overthinker. I will be fully transparent about
14:46
that. I am trying my best to be an underthinker this year by not
14:50
worrying as much and not like just overthinking about any type of situation. So
14:56
that is a huge out for twenty twenty four. Is just overthinking and just
14:58
making things a bigger deal than it really is. Just trying to focus on,
15:03
yeah, the positives and not look at the negatives of the situation and
15:07
not overthink about it. So that is an out for twenty twenty four.
15:11
So those are my ins and outs for twenty twenty four. This is a
15:13
trend that I've seen on TikTok. This is just my personal opinion. Obviously,
15:18
everybody has their own personal ins and outs. Some people will agree,
15:22
some people will disagree, and that's just the trend. But now let's go
15:26
into products. That I've used that I'm going to be continuing to use within
15:31
twenty twenty four, whether the products have changed my life or just products that
15:35
I want to continue using because I love them, things like that. So
15:39
it just gives you some ideas of products to maybe look to purchase, or
15:43
maybe something that you've been thinking about purchasing. These are things that have truly
15:48
made a huge difference in my life. So let's start with skincare and body
15:52
care. Personally, for me, skincare is everything to me. I wake
15:56
up and I actually look forward to doing my skincare. Like, skincare is
16:00
so so important. If you do not have a skincare routine, I truly
16:04
recommend investing in products that work for your skin type. I have very very
16:08
dry skin, so I need all the moisturizer and oils you can get.
16:14
Specifically during the winter season as well, I feel like I really need thicker
16:18
moisturizers on my face. And one moisturizer that I've always gone back to,
16:23
and to be honest, it's a drug store product. It's not as a
16:26
four product. It could be used on your body, it could be used
16:29
on your face. It is the urserine cream you guys have probably heard of
16:33
the brand. There's also the brand Aquafor that's really really good as well.
16:37
Aquafor for my lips. The lip bomb is so good, So if you
16:41
get really chopped lips, this drug store product will change your life. The
16:45
Ersterine cream that I use on my face, I personally just love it for
16:48
a moisturizer because I get really really dry skin, as I said, and
16:52
I finan sy only cream that actually keeps my face like moisturize to the day,
16:57
Like it literally stays the same day, and I need that, Like
17:02
I can't have something that's obviously gonna dry out my skin even more so,
17:06
this brand or Strand is just so good for your face, your body,
17:11
anything with exema related things that you may have. This is the product that
17:15
you need. Another skincare product that I swear by that I truly believe is
17:18
the best sunscreen on the market in my opinion, is the Summer Fridays SPF
17:23
thirty sunscreen. I use this on my face every single day. What I
17:26
love about it is that it is a very sheer sunscreen, so it really
17:32
applies super easily on your face. You know, when you get like SPF
17:36
thirty sunscreen, and it takes forever to absorb, like in your skin,
17:38
Like you're just constantly like rubbing your face with that white cream, and it
17:44
just tastes forever to absorb in your skin. The Summer Fridays is so sheer.
17:48
It literally applies so easily. It is the best sunscreen ever. I
17:52
think I have four empties of this product, Like this is how much I've
17:55
used this product. I'm just so obsessed with It is so good. So
17:57
if you're looking for a really good sunscreen that doesn't break you out as well,
18:00
Summer Fridays is the best. Another Summer Friday's product that you guys know
18:06
I'm gonna talk about is their lip butter bombs. They have tinted bombs,
18:10
they have clear bombs. It just is the best because I find my lips
18:12
don't feel chapped after one product. I'm gonna mention that I really don't like.
18:18
It's really hyped up and I personally don't think it's worth it is the
18:22
Linege lip mask. I have tried to love that product. I swear to
18:26
God, that product has made my lips more dry than they already are,
18:30
Like it is so bad for my lips. I don't know why it drives
18:33
them out so much. There's some people that rave about that product, like,
18:36
oh my god, lip mask change my life, blah blah blah.
18:37
I'm like, yeah, no, that's not for me. Personally, that
18:41
stuff dried my lips out. So summer Fridays, the lip butter Bomb does
18:45
not dry my lips out by far my favorite lip product that I use all
18:48
the time. The next product for skincare that I'm obsessed with is my face
18:53
wash. I use the Ordinary Squaleen facial cleanser. Skwaleen is to support your
19:00
skin's moisture barrier through hydration. So, as I said, I have very
19:03
dry skin, So I've tried out a lot of face washes that personally just
19:07
haven't worked for my skin type. You know, again, just dries out
19:10
my skin and just doesn't hold the moisture. But a Squalen cleanser is a
19:15
formulated cleanser that essentially just keeps your skin moist throughout the day and night.
19:22
And yeah, so Ordinary is also a very affordable brand. I think my
19:26
cleanser is not that expensive. I get it off Sephora. It lasts a
19:30
pretty long time as well, which is nice and yeah, so if you
19:34
have dry skin, I highly recommend looking for a cleanser that has a Squalalan
19:40
base because yeah, it will keep your skin super moist throughout the day and
19:45
night. Another product that I was obsessed with this year is more of a
19:48
body care product is the Salt and Stone shower gel. This shower gel smells
19:55
insane. It is the Santel scent by Salt and Stone, and it is
20:03
just a huge game changer. I feel like it smells amazing, the ingredients
20:07
are super clean, which is so great, and yeah, it just like
20:11
feels so good to apply that when you're in the shower. I feel like
20:15
finding a good body wash can sometimes be difficult and or shower gel or anything
20:19
like that, and I feel like this one is pretty affordable and it smells
20:23
good and it does a job and that's what's important. So that's a product
20:27
that I recently added into twenty twenty three that I'm obsessed with. And then
20:30
lastly, this is more of a shower product, but it is a body
20:33
care product. Is instead of using a shaving foam product, I use cocon
20:37
oil to like shave my body. I personally find coconut oil works so well,
20:44
and it also leaves my skin feeling super smooth. I try to avoid
20:48
using the shaving creams because I have very sensitive skin and I feel like every
20:53
time I find a new shaving cream, my skin reacts in some way.
20:56
Like I'm talking like I've had hives on my legs, like just reacting areas
21:03
that it just doesn't work for my skin type. So coconut oil is,
21:08
yeah, the simplest ingredient you can get on the market. It's clean,
21:12
and it's easy, and it literally lasts me so long. Like you literally
21:15
grab the smallest amount, put it all over your legs, shave your legs.
21:18
They're smooth, it comes off super easily, like the hair when you're
21:22
shaving your legs and all that. So yeah, I swear by coconut oil
21:26
when I'm using it into my shower routine. All right, let's talk about
21:29
some wellness related products that have changed my life. First off being the hatch
21:34
alarm clock. I have talked about it so many times, so I'm not
21:37
going to talk about it more, but you guys know that it's life changing.
21:41
It's life changing, I'm telling you right now. I know there's a
21:45
lot of good Amazon dupes. I know that, but this one is just
21:49
not comparable. I have to be honest. Like I've tried the Amazon dupes.
21:52
They're good. It gives the whole sunrise and you know, nice alarm
21:56
clock noises blah blah blah. But the Hatch just hits different. Having the
22:00
app being able to track your sleep pattern and just being able to like literally
22:06
just create a whole sleeping routine is truly just the biggest game changer if you
22:11
want to wake up early, if you want to have a consistent bedtime routine,
22:14
this is the product that you need in your life. It is totally
22:18
worth the investment. I know it's expensive, I know, I know,
22:19
I know, but just trust me, the hype is worth it, like
22:25
the hype that everyone talks about it on TikTok and social media. It is
22:27
truly truly worth it. I cannot recommend this product enough. So yeah,
22:34
oh my god, Like if I had a paid opportunity with Hatch, like
22:37
it would be so easy, because I just I love the product so much
22:40
that it's like, yes, people buy it. It is the best product
22:42
you will get. Even Zach, like Zach loves it too, he doesn't
22:45
benefit from it. During the week mornings just because he leaves super early in
22:49
the morning and I have it's scheduled for my sleep schedule, not his.
22:53
But on the weekends he really enjoys, like waking up to the sunrise and
22:57
all that. So yeah, it's just a huge game changer. Another wellness
23:02
related product that I'm obsessed with is honestly not a specific brand. It's more
23:07
so just always having a big water bottle on hand, whether it's a Stanley,
23:11
a simple modern tumbler, or like a Lululaman flask anything like that.
23:15
Just something big that you can have around you all the time. It just
23:18
allows you to stay hydrated. I used to suck at drinking water, and
23:22
I truly believe it was because I didn't have a big emotional support water bottle
23:26
that I would take everywhere with me. And now I don't leave my house
23:30
without one, and I find, i say, super hydrated throughout the day
23:33
because I'm bringing everywhere with me. It's the perfect size. It allows you
23:37
to get your full water intake for the day. So yeah, if you
23:41
don't have a good water bottle, I highly highly recommend finding a good one,
23:45
whether it's off Amazon, just find a water bottle that will be your
23:48
emotional support water bottle that you'll take everywhere. Another wellness fave for twenty twenty
23:53
three that I'll be bringing into twenty twenty four is my Peprie Journal and Planner.
24:00
This brand is so amazing. I love how they have a whole customization
24:03
when it comes to changing the overall look of the journal. You can actually
24:07
customize what you want the paper inside to look like, whether you want it
24:12
to be like more of a schedule base or blank pages, or you know,
24:17
a weekly meal plan anything like that. Like I swear by these two
24:21
products. Like I have my planner my journal from there. I use it
24:23
every single day. It allows me to plan my meals to the week,
24:26
plan my schedule out for the day journaling. I personally have just blank papers
24:32
just because I like to free write when I'm journaling for my affirmations and all
24:36
that. And yeah, they do also have a wellness journal as well,
24:38
so for someone who's starting off that's never journaled before, they have really really
24:42
good journal options to look through that. Yeah, it's just like essential for
24:48
the New Year's So if you don't have a good planner or a journal,
24:51
that is a place to go. I'm going to also link all the stuff
24:55
down below in my LTK. I'll put my link to my page and then
24:57
I'll link everything that I'm talking about here. That way, if you guys
25:00
want to see any of the products that I'm talking about in this episode,
25:03
you guys can see all the products there. So yeah, another product that
25:07
I'm bringing into twenty twenty four is my silk pillowcases. I'm telling you right
25:12
now, silk pillowcases truly do make a huge difference in my overall hair,
25:17
my skin. All that washing them consistently obviously makes a huge difference as well.
25:22
But I feel like I always used to wake up with super tangled hair,
25:26
and I truly feel like putting it in a low ponytail and sleeping on
25:30
a silk pillowcase, it doesn't get tangled anymore. It looks good, you
25:34
know, when you just wash your hair and like you freshly blow it out,
25:37
and then you go to bed and your hair looks like you're out the
25:38
next day. This actually kind of helps my hair state somewhat intact the next
25:44
day, which is kind of nice. So yeah, actually sleeping on a
25:48
good silk pillowcase really makes a huge difference in my overall skin and hair.
25:52
Two other wellness phades that I've been loving that I use for my at home
25:56
workouts is my Alo yoga mat and my Bala ankle weights. Ankle weights are
26:03
a huge game changer if you're someone that doesn't really like to lift heavy weights
26:07
and you really like to do the low impact movements, especially when you want
26:10
to do like pilates classes or again just like low weighted workouts. So Bala
26:17
is the brand they do ankle weights. They have low weighted dumbbells. I
26:21
just actually ordered myself the dumbbells. It's like a three pound dumbell, I
26:23
think because I really really love doing pilates at home. I use the Platform
26:29
Form, which could be also another great wellness purchase of twenty twenty three is
26:33
the subscription to Form, which is Sammy Clark's platform. I have been using
26:38
it for years, to be honest, and I use it probably at least
26:41
two times a week. I love it so much. I love her pilates
26:45
workouts and that's typically what I'm doing when I am using her platform. And
26:49
so the ankle weights and the Bala weights are the two weights that she actually
26:53
personally uses and those are the two weights that I use so when I'm doing
26:57
plates at home. So truly a game changer. So that is something to
27:02
look into if you really like to do low impact workouts. And then the
27:06
Alo Yoga Mat, I just personally find this is the best yoga mat I've
27:08
tried. I've tried other brands and the quality just isn't as good like I've
27:14
had yoga mats where over time it starts to peel off, like the skin,
27:18
if that makes sense, Like not the skin, but you know what
27:21
I'm talking about, Like the product starts just to wear off. I've had
27:25
like the crumbs of the mat like all over my floor. It just like
27:29
doesn't stay in good condition, Whereas the Alo Yoga mat stays in really really
27:33
good condition. I've had it for two years now and it still looks pristine
27:38
and brand new, so it's super easy to clean and it's very esthetically pleasing
27:44
as well, So that's a huge bonus as well. So those are two
27:48
other products that I love that I'll be bringing into twenty twenty four. Okay,
27:52
let's talk about style trends going into twenty twenty four that I was obsessed
27:56
with at the end of twenty twenty three, I feel like lul Lemon's making
27:59
a huge comeback. Not like they never were out of style, but I
28:03
do feel like there was a time where nobody was really shopping for Lulu,
28:06
and I feel like everybody's back at Lulu, buying their signature jackets and pants
28:11
and all that. One thing that I recently became obsessed with is the mini
28:14
flare yoga pants from Lululemon. I used to wear those flare yoga pants back
28:19
in high school, and I was obsessed with them. Did anyone else own
28:23
them? The ones with like the colorful bands, like I remember I had
28:27
like a blue band and a white like pattern band, But anyways, I
28:32
remember those bands so vividly, and I just used to wear those pants literally
28:37
every single day, Like I would switch between the two right, and I'd
28:40
get my mom to wash them, and then I'd wear them again, like
28:42
I guess. Another purchase that I made from Lululemon was the Define lu Lemon
28:47
jacket. I've actually never owned them, but I just remember people in my
28:51
high school would wear them with the Lulemon pants, and I feel like it's
28:53
making it come back. I feel like everybody's into that whole like Lulemon workout
28:57
set. Look, it looks, it looks aesthetic, it just also makes
29:03
you feel very put together. So I got two defined jackets recently and the
29:08
flare leggings and I've been wearing them constantly, and as I said, I
29:12
just love that monochromatic workout set. Look what monochromatic means if you don't know
29:18
what that means, is just like having a matching workout set. So the
29:21
pants, the bra, and the jacket all match. And I guess that's
29:25
another huge style trend that I'm obsessed with, is just having matching sets all
29:29
the time. I think it looks so professional, looks so clean, you
29:32
feel high end, and yeah, it's just like something that I think is
29:36
going to continue to be super big into twenty twenty four. Another thing I've
29:40
been loving is headbands. You guys always ask me where my head bands are
29:45
from, and they're literally from Amazon, a three pack of headbands, the
29:48
white, the black, the great color, and I just wear them all
29:51
the time. I also feel like when you're having like a greasy hair day
29:53
and you don't want to put your hair up in a ponytail, throw in
29:56
a headband. It hides the grease, and yeah, it's just like an
30:00
easy hairstyle to do, and that way you're not always slicking your hair back,
30:03
even though I literally slick my hair back all the time because I love
30:06
slick back looks. But a headband is also another really good way to like
30:10
hide dirty hair and it looks super cute as well. The last trend that
30:15
I am bringing into twenty twenty four that I'm obsessed with is jewelry stacking.
30:19
What I mean by that is just like overly stacking your jewelry on your bracelets,
30:25
on your rings, on your necklaces, on your earrings. I personally
30:29
find adding jewelry to any simple outfit makes anything look expensive. Like I feel
30:33
like, if you have a super basic top on and pants and you add
30:37
a crap ton of jewelry, you're gonna look expensive just by adding the jewelry.
30:41
Like that's a little tip. If you want to look more expensive,
30:44
it's just wearing a lot of jewelry. I am that kind of person where
30:48
I love to wear basics, Like I wear plain tops, plain pants,
30:51
like I swear that's all i wear when I'm around the house, just chilling.
30:55
But adding jewelry to the outfit makes it feel so much more luxurious,
30:59
So that another style trend that I think is going to continue for twenty twenty
31:03
four. Okay, the last category I'm going to be talking about is makeup.
31:06
I'm gonna talk about some makeup products that I recently discovered in twenty twenty
31:10
three that truly is my holy girl. Products that are clean beauty for some
31:15
of them, as well as just products that I use for my no makeup
31:19
makeup look that I swear by. And one thing for me whenever I'm doing
31:22
my makeup routine every single day is I hate how pale I look, specifically
31:27
in the winter. So if I can look super bronzed and glowy, I
31:32
will do that every single time. So one product that I swear by is
31:37
the Charlotte Tilbury Cream Bronzer. Let me tell you, if you want to
31:41
look hand, this is the product to get. It is so freaking good.
31:47
It is a pellette that you can just grab a brush, you can
31:49
conto your face and as I said, it just makes you look so bronze,
31:52
which I love. And then I recently just got the Patrick Taw Bronzer
31:57
Duo, so it has a cream bronzer and a powder bronzer. To be
32:00
honest, I have not tried the cream bronzer because I'm so obsessed with my
32:04
Charlotte Tilbury one. But the powder on this bronzer is so good. It
32:09
just honestly secures that cream bronze aer in place. So using that duo together,
32:14
the Charlotte Tilbury and the Patrick Todd just works wonders and I feel like
32:19
I look so much more tanned, and yeah, it just works really really
32:22
well together. And then another product that I'm obsessed with that I've honestly been
32:25
using this product for I want to say four years now. I've only replaced
32:30
it once. So the fact that I've used it for four years and I've
32:32
only replaced it once, honestly it holds its value. And yeah, it
32:38
doesn't empty out that fast, which is kind of nice. Is the nude
32:42
stick blush in the color sun Kissed. That blush will literally make you look
32:49
like you just got a little burn on your face from a tropical vacation.
32:53
The word sun kissed. It will give you that sun kiss look. I'm
32:57
not even over exaggerating. My sister actually told me so. Richie actually wore
33:00
this blush on her wedding day and I'm like, see it's a good blush.
33:05
Sun Kiss My nude stick will change your life. It is so good.
33:07
A new foundation that I recently discovered in twenty twenty three that I love,
33:13
and this is another product that I feel like lasts a really long time,
33:16
is the Kosis Foundation. I feel like this product is not hyped up
33:21
enough. I love this foundation. I use this foundation every single time I
33:23
go out. I sometimes like to mix it with another foundation. I'm into
33:28
mixing foundations. I don't know if you guys are, but I truly like
33:30
mixing them. And the Kasis Foundation is good on its own or you can
33:35
mix it, but it is really really good. It's light, but it
33:37
also gives enough coverage. It doesn't feel like you're putting on like thick foundation.
33:43
It just feels like it's very light coverage, but you're still getting the
33:46
coverage, if that makes sense. So Koss Foundation is amazing. The last
33:52
makeup product that I'm going to talk about that I literally wear every single day,
33:57
not even over exaggerating, is always have a lipliner on me. I
34:00
love lipliners, and this one color I wear literally all the time. If
34:05
you guys are asking me, killy, what is on your lips? This
34:07
is what's on my lips. Not even over exaggerating the anywhere caffeine lipliner by
34:12
the brand Makeup Forever. If you want the perfect nudy brown pink lip,
34:16
this is the lipliner you need to get. It literally matches my lipshade perfectly,
34:22
and that's what I like about it. It's very natural, but still
34:24
gives that look that you're wearing lipstick or lipliner on your lips, but it
34:30
still blends in with the lip color that you currently have. So I don't
34:34
know, I just find it's the perfect natural lipliner. And as I said,
34:37
I wear this literally every single day with my Summer Friday's lip butter Bomb.
34:42
The combo together is so good. So this product I will definitely be
34:45
bringing into twenty twenty four and wearing it consistently. So those are my ins
34:52
and outs for twenty twenty four, as well as some products that I'm going
34:54
to continue using for the new year. Thank you guys so much for listening
