• 0:24
  Speaker 3: thing we wouldn't. And we've pulled together a list of
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: our top picks from beauty, Fashion, Home lifestyle, and we've
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: also pulled in some of your submissions as well. But
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: before we get into the episode, we have to talk
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: about our sersion of the.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Week, and I was gonna talk about a different one.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe I still will, but I have to discuss because
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I saw this while I was away, so we weren't together.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Did you see the video of Zac Efron and Dylan
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Efron golfing?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what is in that family trade?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I have golf now. I want to play golf just
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: with them.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Though his brother's really his brother Sally, Dylan Efron is
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the hottest Efron. I wouldn't shut the door on either
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of them. No, in fact, I would like to open
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the door for both. Is this a dark romance book?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Maybe we were literally getting told by a friend who
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: said she stopped reading a book because she got digged
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: down by two brothers at the same time.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: And I'm just saying, you're like that was actually the
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: fanfic I wrote inspired.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Golf.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that would be bad. Dylan Efron is a
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: book top girlie. No way, he has read. His favorite
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: book is Thrown of Glass and Kingdom of Ash. He's
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: read Fourth Wing, He's read Akata like. He is a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: romanticy girlie.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Well, Dylan, can I call me? Do you whn come
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: on the Basic Bitch Book podcast? Wow?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I know how many times do you think you watched
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I saw it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I watched it at least four times, but I've also
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: seen it pop up like reposted, and I never skip it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Do you know what it is to me? How many
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: times in total do you think you've watched them? Do
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you know what it is to me?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: It's the new Tom Hollands singing Umbrella. You never skip
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: that now, I'll never skip the for umbrellas playing golf.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Ever, that is the most accurate thing I've ever heard
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: anyone say.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Moving on, my other obsession of the week is something
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: that has I'm like a reformed dirty girl, not in
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: that way don't make it weird.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: But like I'm okay, I'm a reformed messy girl.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go. That's more accurate.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I'm a dirty girl, but I am slowly becoming a
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: queen girl, not a clean girl, like not like the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Clangela said it, because I'm still a bit of a rat.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: But in terms of like environment, I enjoy a clean space.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not like clem anyway. So one thing that rewired
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: my brain because I wash. How often do you wash
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: your sheets? Every one to two weeks?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah? See, I can't communicate how often I washed it
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: when I was about eighteen, simply because I don't want to. However,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a study by a mattress company, a Merry Sleep, revealed
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: that unwashed pillowcases can accumulate seventeen thousand times more bacteria
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: than a toilet seat after just one week.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Ew oh my god. Seventeen thousand times more.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Bacteria than a toilet seat after just one week. If
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: that doesn't convince you to wash your sheets after one week,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: because sometimes I would be a two week girl too, sometimes,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: like if I've had a really busy week, I'd be.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, not anymore, yeah, non anymore? Shit yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like weekly thing. Yeah, get it before it
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: gets to the toilet.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I shouldn't have told you this, shouldn't I But all
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you tell me was seventeen thousand times more bacteria than
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: a toilet seat.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Let's going in the washing machine, baby girl.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even if you're a bit of a lazy girl,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: which is so fine, have another set, Just have a
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: have another set, and then after two weeks you can
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: just wash both of them and then you don't have
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to do the whole washing root place.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I always think it's good to have a backup set.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I agree, you know, I completely agree. You're going to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hate this. Gan.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That now makes me think, is that on the seventh day,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the night before, you could have been sleeping on fifteen
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: thousand times more bacteria than a toilet seat.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Like on the sixth night, your pillow's dirty. Yeah, sorry,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I had to bring you down with me. Anyway, back
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to the Efron Brothers. What's your obsession of the week? Okay,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'll make mine short and sweet.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: A book wreck oh that I read when we were
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: away in Europe, So easy read and it's deep cuts.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, by Holly Brickley.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: There was some emotional Yeah, Cataclysm after finishing that book.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really really good, but a little TLDR.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: It's set in the early two thousands and it's about
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: this girl named Percy and she is a lover of
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: like all things music and then she falls in love
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: with like her high school sweetheart, who is an aspiring
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: songwriter and musician, and she like helps ghost write some
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: of his music and then so they're sort of like
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: forever entwined, and the book like goes into their adulthood
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and how they're sort of like too and froing between
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: their relationship.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's really good smut.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: There's sex scenes, but I don't know if I would
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: classify it as smart in a genre. But there's romance,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: and there's romance, and there's sex scenes. But it's really
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: good and it's really funny. And who did you picture
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: as the main male character?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The main male.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Character was sort of like a bit of a faceless
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: figure to me, but I sort of imagined him to
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: look like one of the.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Gallagher brothers from Oasis, Like that was the vibe I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: swear every book I read. That's a romanticy. It's Henry
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Cavill with a different haircut.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Anyway, shall we get into items we would repurchase a
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: million times over?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: My first product that I would repurchase a million times
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: over is a skincare product, and it's actually a skincare duo, so.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's two and one, like two month little duo packs.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of cheating, okay, but it is the Amperna
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Soothing Duo. I had never heard of this.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Brand before in my life, literally looking it up right now.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: But a while ago I had been experiencing perial dermatitis
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: for months, I think maybe for like eight or so months.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And what does that look like for those who don't know, Yes,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: so what does that look a few like?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so for anybody who's not familiar with what this is,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: because I certainly wasn't before I went through it, but
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: it's a pretty common skin condition where you get like
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: little red bumps mainly around the corners of your nose
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: and also the corners of your mouth, and it's a
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: result of your skin barrier being compromised and like your
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: skin's not hydrated enough and it's like little red patches
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: and little tiny bumps. And it actually was quite painful
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: and really really hard to get rid of until I
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: found this product, Like I tried a lot of different things,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: and then I went to get a facial and was
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: actually recommended this particular duo, and I was like, what,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I've never heard of this. They were like trust me,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: and I was like, okay, like I trust I was like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I trust you, of course, but I also was like please,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: like because I'd been trying a few different things, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I was like, maybe this was just my life now.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: But this soothing duo comes with two different products. So
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the first one is a lightweight soothing emulsion, which is
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: like a moisturizer, and then the other one is a
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: probiotic DS soothing serum. So I pretty much stripped back
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: my entire skincare routine to using a really gentle cleanser
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: that I'd already been using, then these two products and
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: SBF and then that was it in the morning, just
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: washing my face with water, and within three to four
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: weeks it had cleared up and it hasn't come back,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: which I was like, okay, because I'd tried a few
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: other things and I'd sort of like use them and
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: it seems like it was helping to soothe some of
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: the irritation.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And then it would flare up again.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: But this duo is like the one thing that I
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: found that actually has kept it at bay, So I
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: will definitely repurchase this.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's amazing And I know how much
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: as well that was like just frustrating you as well,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: because as with all things like yes, pimples and skincare,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: it can sound and feel like a trivial thing, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: it really does affect like your confidence and how you
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: feel in your own skin. And whilst no one else
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: with the right head on their shoulders would ever notice
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: acting your skin on someone else and be like ill yack,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: it's still something you notice about yourself that can affect
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: your confidence exactly.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And so but it's one hundred and sixteen dollars.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: For the duo, so I would say a little bit
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: expensive for two products, but I will say absolutely worth.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: It works and I've been using it for I think
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: about maybe like six months now and I haven't had
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: to repurchase it, so oh wow, a little bit.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Goes along way. That makes me so happy.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I'll still be playing with some other
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: like skin.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You know, we love skincare.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if id's something that works and as well, it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: doing it like a certain job exactly all right. My
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: item I would repurchase a million times over is the
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: all for Mimi tank. Oh my gosh, this tank, like
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the viral all for Mimi tank. I have seen every
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: girl on their dog talking about like this thing sells
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: out in two seconds.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I get why.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: So if you told me that I would be swearing
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: by a sixty dollars plane white tank like six months ago,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I would have called you a line.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I would have said, shut.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Your goddamn mouth, which I said, what went wrong? I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: get it? I get it. So I got the white
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: tank and the black tank. And when I tell you,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I basically wore it every single day in Europe. I
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: will probably be wearing it every single day in summer.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I'm wearing it today. Is quite literally the perfect white tank.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And that's one of those things which is hard to
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: come by. It's the exact same thing as the perfect
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: white T shirt.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: There's a few things to it that we've got to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: ensure work together.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: The material soft as fuck, like it is so soft
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and nice feeling on the skin.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: It is how do I say this?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: It is a stretchy material that holds you. It's not
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: like constricting I don't feel like I'm wearing shape.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Wear, but I feel shaped. Does that make sense?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Like I feel like everything's held together, but I'm not
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: struggling to breathe. I'm not uncomfortable, and it doesn't cut
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: in anywhere, and the straps are like a good length.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: It just works and I am obsessed with it. And
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: as I mentioned, I am not necessarily clean scale. Like
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: sometimes if I'm feeling lazy, this would literally make sour
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: breakout to hives. Everything gets chucked in the washing machine.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Sometimes some whites might make it in there with colors.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: This tank has made me wash my whites separately religiously
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: because of the tank, because I want to preserve this
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: tank so fucking bad, and I don't want to I
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: don't want to pay sixty dollars and.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: They're hard to come by. Yeah, so I might know.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: How do you go?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: And what have what's been the reviews around wearing it
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: with or without a bra?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not wearing it with a bra right now.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Without a bra is great?
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: With a bra also great, huh if you have if
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you're part of the Big Titty Committee, yep, if you
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: size down, I feel like it's enough hold and enough
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: or if you kind of true to size, it's got
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: enough structure in it that I feel like, potentially, if
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: you're comfortable, you don't actually need to wear bra. But
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I also understand and that a bra is a source
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: of comfort and security for the TI Goal Midi Committee
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: that it also works with a bra. So I'm like,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: turn out of ten, say for day, fuck keep dead
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: with what to do in Darlin.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly great work. I get why they sell out
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in two seconds.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: If anything happened to this tank, I think I would cry. Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: It's the perfect length, it's not too short, it's not
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: too long, and all you need.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Is like jacket and you know what as well, their
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: pajamas are great. Ah, she's done a good job. Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: My next thing that I would repurchase a million times over.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: And I can't believe oh I'm saying this, Oh I
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: got another one, and that I ever would say this? What?
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: But it is then Espresso Virtuo pop coffee machine.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: She's converted people. She's converted. It only took me seventy
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: four years, but we go to their people. Hit me.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: If anybody has listened to the podcast for years in
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the past, you would know that I was a staunch
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: buy coffee every single day.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: She was an anti coffee machine queen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was part of my budget, part of
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: my everyday routine that without fail, I was spending at
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: least eight dollars on a coffee admitted I would go
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: up to fifteen if I needed too, but eight dollars
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: a day on coffee, and was very very happy with that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I do live in a very small apartment that just
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: has a little kitchenette, so whenever I'd looked at coffee machines,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I was like, there's nowhere I can actually fit this.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Everything is too bulky, it's not gonna work. I also
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: really hate when there's like too much clutter on any
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: of my bench spaces. And I really was just like
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: shutting down the idea.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was. I also had it. It's like someone
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: recommended this product.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: To her before and she said no multiple times.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: And yeah, and I also was just like, the coffee's
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: not gonna taste, it's good, like you know, I know exactly.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: How I sit. Anyway.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Then I got this Virtuo Pop coffee machine right, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: it's so it's quite little, so it actually fits well
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: in my space and it's a coffee pod machine. So
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: I have spoken about this with some other people, and
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I think if you love the full like barista experience
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: and you want to do all the beans and everything yourself,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: maybe this isn't your thing. And I actually think that
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: the coffee made from this machine is as good as
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: any coffee that I've bought at a cafe.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a simple girl. I like an ic latte.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm a shamber girl. It's not anything like.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Shimberlaine, not anything crazy, But I have found that the
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: quality of the coffee is just as delicious as what
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: I had been spending eight dollars on every single day,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: the difference being that this coffee machine costs two hundred
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: and twenty nine dollars.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It also very regularly is sale, so keep an eye
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: out for that. And then the coffee.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Pods are twelve dollars for ten pods, so that's one
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: dollar and twenty cents per coffee instead of eight. I'm
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: just gonna say, I stand corrected. I stand corrected.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: And so if you could just read this public apology
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: script for me, they're just following elic. I would like
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: to share cherry for your year's recommendation and you ray,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: if you could just read that out for me, they'd
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: be great.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Well I feel vindicated. Yeah, so, but do
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you know what I went through the same thing. Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's a canon event.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I think like buying the takeaway coffee is like the
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: main character arc which, like, again, I get it, I
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: love it, and I still love every Saturday morning. I
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: love walking up to the grumpy baker and getting my
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: chalky croissant and my obnoxious ice latte.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but once you get a coffee machine at home.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Also, the morning routine has just simplified by at least
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: ten steps.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And that's crazy. So yeah, recommend.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: All right, Okay, my next thing that I would repurchase
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: a million times over. I am putting this in the
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: category of expensive shit. I wish I never tried, because
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: now I have to repurchase it because I love it
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and it is the Keristar's Nutritive eight hour Magic.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Night hair serum. Oh no, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: In advance.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: When this has Magic Night Serum in the name, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: truly believe.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Black magic was involved. Potion burn Carristars at the stake.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: They're witches witch honestly, thank God, the Salem Trials are
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: over because Charistars.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Would be canceled like they.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they put in this bottle. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: don't know, cause this shit is so fucking good. I
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: apologize to my potty mouth.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: This product is ninety two dollars.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: However, the reason why I'm putting it in this episode
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: is because it's after payday and it's twenty percent off
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: at a door beauty right now. So it's still expensive,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: but it's it's twenty percent cheaper, and it's like seventy
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: two or seventy three dollars.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: It lasts a really long time.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: So basically, this serum is you be little dot on
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: your fingers and then you run it through.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Your hair, dry hair. That's it.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I love one the simplicity of that step by step process.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: One of my biggest grievances with hair products is how
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: many steps it takes. For example, if it's a hair mask,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: You've put it in the shower and then you gotta
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: wait fifteen minutes.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: What am I doing the shower for fifteen minutes with
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: my head out? With my head out? What am I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: doing the shower fifteen minutes? Yeah? And that much time
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: alone with my thoughts, No, thank you. Are you gonna
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: pay for the therapy session after that? No?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: And then the other one is like, you have to
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: use it with this, but you can't use conditioner, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: you also can't go in the sun. I'm make sure
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you hop on one leg three times before it works.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: God, that the simplicity of this process of a little
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: pea sized mount I probably use a bit more, but
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I'm very Moorish and I've got a lot of hair,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: so and.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Then you run that through and I kid you not.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I noticed a difference in my hair after trying it
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: for the first time.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I don't understand how it's so good.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: And when I got back from Europe, I don't think
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: my hair has ever looked so tasty to a horse.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: In my entire life.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Like I was walking bass horses being like, no, farl up,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: don't like you're not allowed spirit stop every no.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Spirit year a lot anyway, but literally heaven on earth.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: And I came back and my hair was so so
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: dry from the sun and the salt of literally swimming
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: every day for six weeks that I was like, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: don't know how we're going to come back from this,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I doused my hair in the for one night. We're
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: back wow, and I was like, I truly, truly believe
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: everyone that tries this will like it. Yeah, and I
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: don't know if there's like a travel size or a
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: smaller size available. I do always recommend trying that first
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: with really expensive products, because I do get nervous about
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: people spending so much money and the off chance of
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: them not liking it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but stuff like that can of pair.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, And of course everyone's hair is so different, so
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: it did work so beautifully with mine, but there's you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: never know, right. However, here are some of the reviews
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: that I pulled from the Adore beauty website. My friend
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: recommended it and now I can't stop using it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: That's me to you, guys.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Another one, This makes my hair so so soft. It's
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: called an overnight serum because you do need to leave
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: it in for about eight hours before you feel the effect.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: But it's amazing. So I thought that was a good note. Yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: that's good to know. However, my favorite was from someone
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: called Petal Pop.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Here's what she said, if I just had a dollar
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: for every hair product I've over the years, well, you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: the saying I'd be rich by now. So I'm pretty
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: skeptical of most hair products I try, because not only
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: have I bought literally hundreds over the years, I'm in
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: my fifties. In my experience, the majority really don't deliver.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: There's really only one true test of whether you think
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: a product is good or not, and it's the simplest
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: of them all.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Will I buy this again? A see how it's dying
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in Ye? Yes, she's on the payroll.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she's the third Brooke Chick pet apop. I've
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: been trying to grow my hair long for about four years,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: and I really think this has helped. Of course, this
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: product doesn't make your hair grow faster, but I do
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: think it improved my ends, making them stronger and less
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: prone to breakage. The overall length of my hair feels
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: in better condition than before, and as a result, it
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: looks like my length is finally starting to well lengthen. So,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: despite its painful price point, the answer to the ultimate
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: test of whether I'll buy this product again a resounding yes.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that is my product that I unfortunately will
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: repurchase again.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Love.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: It'll probably be a sale event stock up.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: One that I always think Okay, we've got a sale event.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Is it on sale?
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Because it is, it's very expensive and I'm sorry, or.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Even put it on like a wish list if people, yeah,
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: like a birthday, yeah, Christmas.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Is call like ask for some gift cards exactly. Yeah, No,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's a really good idea.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: My last thing that I would repurchase a million times
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: over is a piece of clothing.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You spoke about the perfect tank. I going to speak
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: about the perfect T shirt.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, and it's actually the Glassons oversized boxy T shirt.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: It's nineteen dollars and ninety nine cents and it is
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: the perfect boxy boyfriend sized T shirt.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Where do the sleeves come down? To atualize it with me?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: On me, it comes down to about my elbow? Oh sexy.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: So it's a really good boxy fit. Also, it's like
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: quite a good length. It's not cropped or anything, so
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: you can tuck it into jeans or like wear it
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: however you like. And it's really really comfortable because it
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: is one hundred percent cotton. It's also quite thick, so
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: it has that like really good structured yeah fit. And
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: sometimes like if you wear a T shirt and you
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: can see like your bra through it and stuff like that,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Like it doesn't have any of those issues.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Would you say this is the perfect plain white tea
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: for big bus.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I would say that, you know.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: What, You know what, I would say that because it
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: is the perfect white tea for people with big bus,
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: because it still gives you that boxy effect a lot
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: of the time with those sorts of shapes. It's advertised
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: as boxy and the arms are boxy on me, but
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: then I put it on and it's still not as
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: boxy and loose as I would like.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Across the chest, the chest, the tanks, yeah, across dam tank,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: across simps.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: But yeah, excellent quality, and it's one of their pieces
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: that's sort of like a mainstay. So I've been I
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: think I bought my first one maybe like in twenty
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: twenty or twenty twenty one. Wow, I've repurchased it in
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: different colors since then.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: So they have it in like a white, are black,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: a gray. They also have a stripe question how does
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: it go if you were in the white tea with
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: a black bar under it?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I found that it was fine, gorgeous. Yeah, ten out
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of ten, Yeah, take fourteen of them. Love a plain
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: white tea. Honestly, big one, big fun, big one. Okay,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: what's your last one?
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Okay? My last one is actually four products, but it
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: all sizes, it all ties in together, and it is
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: my top four products for a cozy home routine.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: So picture this.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: It's Friday, You've just come home from work, but thunder rain,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: You've got.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: No plans and takeaways on the way. Are you going
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to watch the summer I turned pretty? Maybe you'll watch
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: New York Minute. Who knows, Harry Potter.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: It's not for me to judge, but here are the
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: four products that I use religiously for me to have
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: a cozy home routine evening that I wake up and I'm.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Like, oh god, that was good. Good, that was good. God,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that was good.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: That was so good.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, God, I don't think I'm ever going
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: to be able to achieve that ever again.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: That was objectively a good Jennifer Collage pressure in that moment.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not even going to attempt to do it again.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I don't, I can't. That was lightning in a bottle literally. Okay.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Number one, Oh, I'm so happy we have that on camera.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, So number one and probably the most important an
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: item in this routine, incense or a candle. But I
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: definitely would recommend incense more because it's so affordable.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: You can literally.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Find it anywhere online or at like the dollar store,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: but wherever you want to get it right, you can.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Go as cheap or as bougie as you want with
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: exactly exactly, but essentially, at the end of the day,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: it does the same thing.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: There's probably a difference.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: In terms of like how long it burns for and stuff,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: but I've never really gone into that day. I'm just like, wait,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: go smelling stick. I want my smelly stick. Incense, known
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: for its like fragrant smoke, has actually been used for
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: thousands of years with here's a fun fact, roots in
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: ancient civilizations with ties to Egypt and India in thirty
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: three hundred BC. Wow, yeah, she's an old gow. She's
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: seen some teens. So originally it played a role in
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: religious and spiritual rituals, with resins like merv frankincense and
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: copal were burned to honor the.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Gods and send prayers skywards.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: And I feel like that ties in so much to
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: why I love it, because it does feel like a
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: spiritual cleansing whenever I'm burning incense, I'm like, that's the
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: end of the day. It's either at the start of
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: a day or the end of the day. You never
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: do like if I I if I got up in
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the middle of a meeting and started burning incense, I
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: think I'd throw up. It doesn't work like that. It
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: doesn't work like.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: That, and a space needs to be clean.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's very much the start of the day
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I think. Hence why
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: it's in my cozy evening routine. Incense has been proven
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: to evoke positive psychological effects, so it engages the brain's
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: limbic system. I know this is me like literally geeking
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: out over incense because I love it so much. But
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: that system is responsible for emotions and memory. So the
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: romatic compounds in incense interact with the limbic system, a
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: part of the brain that plays a crucial role in
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: emotional responses and memory formation. This interaction can lead to
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: feelings of relaxation, happiness, and a sense of wellbeing.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I love so and it smells good, and it smells good.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So not only do I feel like witchy and like smool, and.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: It actually is proven to give your brain happy juices,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: which we all need, which.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: We all know a lot. We love a happy brain juice. Okay.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: The couch blanket an art form and important.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: You gotta get one that is warm and nice.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: No acrylic fibers in sight. It has to be warm,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: it has to be cozy, and it has to be
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: natural fibers. And the one that I will recommend until
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: the day I am lowered into the ground of this
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: god forsaken earth is the Ikea Will blanket.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: It is one hundred percent wool and ninety nine.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Dollars, so good, such a good price point, and I
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: literally use it every single night. And even if I
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: come home and my boyfriend's using it, I'm like, come on.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Cop it up. That's not yours, that's mine. By one
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: if you want one. Yeah, And they're like pretty as well.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: They're so when you drape the mot the couch like
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: it looks nice and homeying.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Literally my cats are obsessed with it. They sleep on it.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I have good taste, exactly.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Number three smart bulbs very important to the cozy evening
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: routine because the big light illegal.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I do you know what I reckon?
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I could take the light bulbs out of all of
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: my ceiling and I'd never even notice, and I would
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: never even notice.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Big light illegal And these are perfect for creating.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: The ambiance that is the cozy evening, whether it's you're putting.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: On the orange lamp or whether you're watching like Little Mermaid.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe you change them to blue, whatever you like. Perfection.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: And then, last, but not least, is the fit must
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: be a matching set of pajamas. And personally, my favorite
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: pajamas as of this day and age, these Stacks pajamas.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: These Stacks pajamas I got in pr for the first
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: time and I have bought them in every single style
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: for winter and summer. So to sum up my cozy
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: evening routine items incense, a wall, blanket, smart bulbs, and jummies.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Ten out of ten. Yeah, the perfect night is awaiting.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: And guess what I.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Think I'm going to do it tonight?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna do it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna hit. Shall we quickfire do what we
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: wouldn't repurchase?
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, so a product that I wouldn't repurchase, And I
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: do feel guilty saying this, but it's something that I
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: really wanted to work, and it just didn't work for me. Personally,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: and it's the Ole Henrickson Banana Bright Plus Vitamin C
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: sea stick. It's one of those like color neutralizing sticks
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: that you're supposed to help neutralize any darkness that you
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: have under your eyes.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So if you have, you know, like blue or purple.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Eyebags supposed to help with that. They do have like
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: different shades that work with like the different color that
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: you have or like the shade of your skin.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I tried it and it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Just didn't work for me. I really wanted it to work.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: But I think as well, because I have puffiness as
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: well as color, I was like, I feel like I
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: can still see it.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I think as well, like under ee
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: darkness is genetics. Yeah, so I think we see a
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: lot of things and there are definitely products out there
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that do help with that.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And maybe that product did work for others as well.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Like that's to say that it's all bad, right, but
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: I feel like whenever I've looked into it deeply as well,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: it's like it's your genetics, babe.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: And I also get a red undereye color corrector and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: then check some concealer over it, and that's how you're
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: gonna get rid of them. Yeah, exactly. Maybe your iron
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: deficion was definitely off for me.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Get an iron infusion, Like my first step shouldn't be
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: what's a product I can find?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: No talk about it? Okay, exposed on the podcat my cheek? Okay,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: what's yours?
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Mine that I would not repurchase is the holiday wardrobe.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: So it's not necessarily one product.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: It's the idea, I agree, And it's the fact that
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: you don't need to buy a whole new wardrobe before
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: you go on a holiday.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Because you're not gonna wear half of it anyway.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: And this is something that I hurt my own feelings
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: with and it was like, oh, I can wear this
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: to this, and I wear this to this, you don't
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: need it, because I literally thought I was going to
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: be serving fucking Europinterest girl the whole trip. No, I
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: was wearing a tail around my waist and looking like
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: a dad in a cap like And that's the thing,
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: because you're moving around so much, you're doing all this shit,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: half of it you don't need. I do think, yes,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: maybe buy like one or two things that you could
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: wear it all nice dinner or that if you do
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: really need to replace you know, your denim shorts that
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: are falling apart, whatever it is, but I think it
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: ends up being a complete waste of money when you
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: feel like you need to buy a whole new wardrobe
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: for a holiday, because then you get back and you're like, oh.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what am I going to do with it? The
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: other thing is.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: What happened, like is what I fucked up with was
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: like buying these things and then having the time to
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: return it then is like an added stressor on it,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: being like, fuck, I've got to return these I've got
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: to take this to the post office.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And before you.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Going on a holiday, there's like seven billion things you
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: need to do. So I think that's like my life
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: lesson and my thing that I wouldn't repurchase is like,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: don't do don't fall into the oh I need new
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: clothes my holiday trap because you don't you definitely I don't.
• 33:53
