• 0:19
  Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day for you to become
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Hawkgirl energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. I am so
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: excited to go on a trip this weekend. Like I'm
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: so so excited, and Zach and I are going to Miami,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: as I said in last week's episode, and I'm just
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: excited for the first trip of the summer. I think
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that always hits different. We do also have a few
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: weekends coming up for some cottage weekends, some ball tournaments,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: so my husband plays a lot of ball, and yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: he has like these fun tournaments that usually has and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I see a lot of the wives there and some
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of them have kids, so it's just kind of like
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a tradition that we always go to the tournament to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: support the husbands. But all in all, I think summer's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: officially here, it's started, and thinking of just all the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: fun weekends to come ahead is just so exciting. And yeah,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: so I'm excited to start off our first trip this weekend,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm very happy that I get to spend it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with my husband.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I think that's a dream come true.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm just excited for the fun content that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we're going to film as well. So definitely stay tuned
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: on TikTok and Instagram if you guys want to follow
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: me there. We're going to be posting a lot of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: content from that trip along with YouTube. I'm going to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: film a whole separate log of our Miami trip. I've
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: actually never have experienced Miami the way we're going to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: experience it this time. The last time I went to Miami,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I was fifteen years old with my parents, so very
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: different vibe.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: We didn't even stay in Miami, to be honest.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: We stayed in like Palm Beach area, so an area
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a bit further from Miami directly. I've only been to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: South Beach once again, never really stayed on South Beach,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So I feel like I didn't really get the Miami
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: experience where I feel like this weekend, Zach and I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: are like doing all the things that we've seen on
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: TikTok that people do in Miami, like a lot of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: good restaurants, a lot of fun like pool spots, beach clubs,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: We're staying at a really nice hotel.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So I think we're just doing it the right way
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and the way I would want to do it if
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I was going to Miami.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So I feel like.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a very different experience this time
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: around versus what I went with my family. And there's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: so many good spots in Miami, especially when it comes
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to like the wellness girls. I personally feel like Miami
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is the perfect combination of wellness and party life. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: if I were to have my bacheorette again, I probably
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: would have done it at Miami, Like that would have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: been my first choice. But obviously, because we did a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: destination wedding, we wanted to tie it into our Italy trip.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But if I were getting married like here at home,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to do like a Destiny bacherette party,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I would do Miami because I personally find there's so
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: many good workout studios. There's so many cute like little
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like health and wellness like cafes for.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Like smoothies and smoothie.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Bulls and all that, and then you still get that
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like fun night life if you want to like go
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to like a nice dinner or go to like night shows,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: all that Miami has it. Then during the day, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: could like chill with a beach, you know, you don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: need to like drink constantly. You could just like chill
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: tan have a really relaxing day, and then have some
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: fun at nights. So in my perfect world, I think
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Miami's like the perfect combination of that wellness girl lifestyle
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: on top of the party lifestyle. Of course, Zach and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I are not really going to be doing the party
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: lifestyle at all. I feel like Zach and I are
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: more of like the kind of people that just like
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to go out for a nice dinner, you know, have
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a few cocktails, maybe have a cocktail at like the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: cocktail bar at the hotel, and then head to bed.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Like we are not that kind of people that will
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: stay up till two am drinking partying. Like that's just
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: not ay. I do hope to get a few workouts
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in as well. I think it will most likely be
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: at the hotel gym, though I don't think I'll like
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: go book a studio or anything in Miami. But I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: think the next time I go, I hope to go
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: with some girlfriends and actually do like Miami Pilate Studios
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I think that'd be so fun.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to go to I think it's called Piravida,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: which I think they're known for like their.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Smoothie bulls, their smoothies all that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: There's also a sun Life there, which you guys know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with sun Life.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: They have one in La and I literally was so
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: happy when they had.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: One there, and I want to like show Zach sun
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Life because I always talk about how good it is,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so I'm excited for that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of good restaurants, like there's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a Carbone, There's no Boo all that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Like so many good spots. So there's so much to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: do in Miami. And I will make sure to share
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: our itinerary after our trip of all the places that
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: we go to, what I think is worth it, what
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'll obviously give a little bit of a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: trip recap as well when I get back from the trip.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: All that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Right now, I have majority of my packing done. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: ordered a few minute things yesterday in terms of accessories
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and all that. So if you saw my Instagram post,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I just posted like a Pinterests mood board because I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: always love to go on Pinterest, as you guys know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: planning out my summer trips, planning out my season. So
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of course I have a summer mood board started for
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: what I hope to achieve this summer, just like things
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that I want to put on my bucket list, or
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just again summer trips that I'm going on, like how
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I want to envision that trip for myself, take some photos,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: take some content, like I really just like to use
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Pinterests as my way of a envisioning my life of course,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: because we're always going to be romanticizing our life and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: be also as a way to yeah, create content and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: use it as some inspiration, which kind of ties into
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: today's episode. I really wanted to talk about my summer
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: bucket list, and this is something that I think everyone
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: should start making now because summer officially starts next week.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I believe it's June twenty first, correct me if I'm wrong.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Pretty sure summer starts then, and there's just so much
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that I'm sure everybody wants to do within these next
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: few months, and summer is very short. I find I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: find it goes by so fast because we always try
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and plan so much. But these little things here are
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not really things that like you need to plan in advance.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: These are just like little date nights and ideas that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you should do with either your husband or your partner
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: or like your girlfriends. Like just things that I think
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we kind of forget about and they're so small, but
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I personally finally make a huge difference when I look back,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you know, for my summer last year, I think about
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: these things like I'm like, oh, I'm really happy I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: spent a Thursday night doing this, or you know, I'm
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: really happy we did a Friday night like this where
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we were at home and we were able to do
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: this little thing that was on my bucket list because
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it's just something that I remember, and it's little memories
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: that I think are just so memorable and yeah, something
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that you just don't really think about. So I'm gonna
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: share with you guys some ideas if you guys are
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: looking for inspo for what to do this summer and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: how you're going to have the best summer yeat. Okay,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the first thing that I always put on my bucket
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: list every single year is sunset at the beach with
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: pizza and wine. This is like one of my favorite
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: things to do. And again, weekends can get really busy,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: So even going on like a Wednesday night or a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, go buy a bottle of wine.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Order your favorite pizza, go to your favorite beach, bring.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: A little towel. You can bring your dog if you want.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I usually go with Zach. We brought Freddy last time.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It was kind of a shit show, not gonna lie,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but we did enjoy having Freddy there and I think
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he had the best time. But it was just like
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: so calming to think of, like the sun setting and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: just like being there with my husband enjoying that like
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: very intimate moment of just him and I with our
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: wine and pizza. It's just like another date idea that's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a bit more affordable versus like going to a restaurant
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and spending all this money on alcohol and food. Like
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: ordering pizza is always more affordable, and then obviously bringing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: your own bottle of wine is going to be much
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: cheaper than buying a bottle of wine at a restaurant.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So all in all, it's just a bit more of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: an affordable way of having a date night. And this
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is something that I try and do, like once a month,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: usually in the summer because we love it so much,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and even trying like different spots out could be a park,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: could go to different beaches, And again it doesn't have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to be something to do on the weekend. You could
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: do it on a weeknight as well. I think a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: key thing out of this as well is just like
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: making date nights a priority in your relationship is key.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Even like a friendship, it's really important to like make
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the effort of setting up these little nights in I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: think it's just important in a relationship or a friendship
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to really just like make these nights a priority. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it's just a fun thing to do in the summer.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Another date idea that I love to do is go
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to a farmer's market. So every Saturday we try and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: go to a farmer's market and go get a little
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: coffee and again kind of just like romanticize our Saturday
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: morning by doing that. And farmers' markets are just like
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: such a great way of like supporting local brands, you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: trying out different brands that you may have never tried before.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Also just getting that fresh produce and all that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, the whole experience is just super fun
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and I just love doing that on my Saturdays.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I also love ice cream date nights.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest, I think everyone's always craving a ice
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: cream or a sweet tree on a summer night. There's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: something about the summer that I think everyone just gravitates towards,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: like anything sweet after dinner. I feel like I'm a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: victim to getting ice cream at least twice a week,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to be honest, maybe once a week from any ice
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: cream shop. To be honest, I'm not really picky on
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: where we go, but I love trying different spots out.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But for example, Zach and I went to go get
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: ice cream literally two nights ago, and it was so good.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was our first sweet tree of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the season and it was like the best.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: It was so so good getting it in a cone,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and again just spending that time with your partner or
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: your girlfriend catching up chatting. It's just like a fun
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: little night idea to do with your friend or your partner.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Another thing that you could do, and this could be
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: something more of like a night in in your backyard
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is an outdoor movie night. So I actually ordered a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: projector and like a white screen for my backyard because
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: as you guys know, we're building a deck. Zach finally
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: finished it this past weekend, so we're very excited about that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I already ordered the furniture, so now we're just waiting
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: for the furniture to come in. I think it's going
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to be in when we get back from Miami, which
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is perfect, and honestly, I just can't wait to set
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it all up the following weekend and actually have our
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: first barbecue, our first little session of just being outside
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: with the dining table and everything.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be oh so good.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Like there's nothing better than a backyard summer dinner, like
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: cooking like either burgers or steaks or kebabs and the barbecue,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like setting up your dining table, eating outside,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: sitting on your couch with a little fire pit. Like,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: oh my god, Like that is heaven to me. Like that,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: if I could have that every single night in the summer,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that would be like my perfect night ever.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So that's what we ordered.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: We ordered couches, we ordered a fire pit, we ordered
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a dining set, We ordered a barbecue.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was very expensive.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: If you're wondering, I did not realize how expensive backyard
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: furniture was, but I just keep telling myself that it's
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: going to be so worth it. Furniture is always worth
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the investment. I just keep telling myself that it's going
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to be things that you're going to have years upon years.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So anyways, it was worth the investment, and I'm really
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: excited to just have some date nights outside. But going
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: into the part about the outdoor movie, I thought it
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was such a cute idea to get a projector and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: put a white screen in your backyard. That way, you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: could watch either a TV show or a movie outside
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and enjoy the outdoor space while also being able to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: watch your favorite TV show or a movie or anything
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like that. So I'm hoping we get to use that
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a lot in our backyard and just really enjoy the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: dining set and couches and all that while also being
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: able to watch like our favorite shows outside. This is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: on my summer bucket list because this is something that
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I've been wanting to get into, and we're actually going
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to be building this the following weekend after our trip
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: from Miami.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: But we want to get into gardening.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I know I'm a little late to the game for
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this because I feel like everyone usually starts in May,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and because our backyard has been obviously taking us some
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: time to do because the weekends have honestly just been
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not good for weatherwise, and that's why it's taken Zack
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: so long to build the deck. But anyways, we do
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: want to build like a massive like gardening pot essentially,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like we're going to be building a wooden pot on
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the deck that's raised that way we don't have any
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: issues like rabbits or squirrels getting into it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I just like would love like fresh.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Basil and tomatoes and cucumbers like all that just like
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: grown in the backyard. And it's really all going to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: be dependent on if we can do it or not
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: this year. If we can't do it this year, then
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we'll do it next year. I would love to garden,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to be honest. My parents have one, and I always
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: love just like grabbing whatever, like I think they have
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: kale as well in their backyard my parents, So I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: always like love going in their backyard and just grabbing
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: literally anything fresh from their garden.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: It's the best.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So eventually we will have our own garden. I don't
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: know if we'll be this year or next year. I'm
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: hoping we can do it this year, just to have
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on the deck. But it's definitely something that I've been
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: wanting to get into. Another thing I want to do
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: for my summer bucket list is get back into hobbies.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: So you know, I love pickleball. Zach and I haven't
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: had the chance to play yet, but I'm hoping we
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: can make like a night during the week, whether it's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: like a Tuesday night or Wednesday night, and we can
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like just go play for an hour at one of
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the courts close by to our house.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: There's also tennis and golfing.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Zach's a huge golfer, so you know, he usually likes
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to go to the courses with the guys, but the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: odd time, like we get to go together, it's really fun.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I also love to do this like with my dad
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and my sister, will like make a whole day out
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of it and I'll go golfing together. I do really
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: enjoy doing those summer hobbies in the summer. Another thing
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that Zach and I have just recently gotten into we
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: had our first run session. Okay running, We're trying to run.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So proud of my husband because I am a runner.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I used to run track and I used to do
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: cross country and Zach has never done any of that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So Zach is very much like a sprinter and that's it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Like he does not do long distance running. But we're
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: trying to create like a running routine for himself. Like
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: his goal is to be able to run like five
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to ten k. So we started off on Sunday with running.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It ran a five k essentially, but like we kind
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of walked and runned like you know what I mean,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Like we walked for the first kilometer, then ran, then walked,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: then ranley We kind of did that, and we honestly
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: actually did that for I think it was six kilometers.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Like we walked three k and probably ran three k
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and he felt pretty good with that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: He also just.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Bought brand new running shoes, so he really wanted to
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: break them in. I'm gonna film the entire experience, don't
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: worry for TikTok, but for the first day, like I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: just wanted him to kind of like break in the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: shoes and kind of just like create a route for ourselves.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So yeah, but we're really trying to become runners together.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Bringing Freddy again. Getting outside, we went at like eight
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: o'clock on a Sunday morning. It was like still early,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the sun was still like at its like little sunrise moment,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't too hot, which was nice.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: We weren't like dying of heat.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And all in all, it was just like a very
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: enjoyable morning, Like we went on a run, we came home,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: we made French toasts and had our coffees and had
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: like a chill morning and it was literally perfection. I'm like,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: if this could be my Sunday every single mo that
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: would be the goal. So all in all, just find
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: hobbies that you want to do, either with your friends
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: or yourself or with your husband or partner, and try
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and like find days during the week that you can
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: make it work. So for us, like Sunday mornings is
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: something that works for us, or like an evening after work,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: if you guys can make it work to go to
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: like a pickleball court, or go play tennis, or go
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: do some golfing, even if it's just like going to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a driving range, it's something that you're you know, striving
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to do for the summer and you're making the effort
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of doing these hobbies with someone special. Another thing that
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I always love is hitting up some patios, so hitting
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: up our favorite patios from some of our favorite restaurants.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like I don't go out much during the winter,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: so I like to really try and get out in
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the summer because I find obviously getting out of the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: house is always a good thing to do for your
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: mental health. And because I work from home, I'm just
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: always wanting to, yeah, get out of the house whenever
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I can. So even like finding your favorite restaurants and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: figuring out like there's some restaurants do like specials on
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: certain days. So for example, like we have a Moxie's
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and every Wednesday they have like a wine Wednesday, where
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I think wine's like half off or something like that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: So I used to do that all the time with
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: my girlfriends. We'd go to a patio, order a bunch
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of wine, just kind of chill, catch up, chat all that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Now what we're doing actually, this is something that I
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: never talked about. This is kind of like another hobby
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that I've been doing with my girlfriends. Instead of doing
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like patio nights on a weekly basis with my girlfriends,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: we're actually doing a Hawk Girl walk club. So every
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Friday morning, we all get together in a parking lot
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and we actually walk five kilometers and we go to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a coffee shop, have a little coffee together on a Friday,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and then walk back and then everyone goes to work.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: We're waking up and we're doing our walks at seven am,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: so we meet at the parking lot by seven am.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: We walk, and then everyone's back in their cars by
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: like eight thirty and they get to you know, go
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to their work day. And you know, some most of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: my girlfriends work from home, some work in the office,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: but or some people work like me, were self employed.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: So it's really nice because we get to see each
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: other on a weekly basis. We all get to get
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: some movement in, we get a little coffee, we get
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to catch up. Like it's literally the perfect thing ever.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But it's just so funny to me how we evolved
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: from you know, wine night patio nights, from when we
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: were like twenty five, twenty four, and now we're all
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: like twenty nine thirty walking, some walking with strollers with
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: their babies, you know, walking with our dogs, just getting
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a coffee all that. Like, it's just such a huge
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: difference in what we make our hobbies now or our
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: little weekly catchups. But It's honestly the best change in
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: my opinion. Like, I love being able to wake up
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: early and do those walks with my girlfriends and still
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: see them on a weekly basis, because as you get older,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I do think we all get busier and busier and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: life is just busy in general. So still being able
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to like dedicate a day where we can all walk
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: together and do that is super fun. So if you're
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: having a hard time seeing your girlfriends and even wanting
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to do something on a weekly basis, try out the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: hawkgirl walks.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Make a day where you guys can like.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Walk together in a trail, get a coffee right before
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you start your work day. Or if you're the kind
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: of person as I said, that likes to do patio
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: nights and wants to like go hit up their favorite restaurants,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: highly recommend doing that as well. Another thing I'd love
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to do is hit up different wineries. I love going
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to a winery. I think that's such a fun idea.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I probably go to a winery maybe like once or
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: twice in the summer. I don't go that often, but
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: we do have one pretty close to our place. It's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: called Kin Vineyards. And what I love about it is
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that they have like a nighttime session where you can
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: order dinner outside, order different flights of wine, and you
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: could like take pictures in the vineyard, you can bring
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: your dog all that, like, It's such a cute little spot.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: So I really love to do that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: But I know there's other wineries that are a bit
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: more strict with their policies and usually only open during
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the day. But I mean, of course we'd love to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: go to a winery in Italy and go experience the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Tuscany winery like that would be the dream. Of course,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we'd love to do that in the summer. But if
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: there's something that's a bit more local for yourself, it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: always something fun to do in the summer. Another thing
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that I want to continue doing this summer is getting
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: smoothies after workout classes with my girls. I'm just realizing
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: how many rituals I've made for the summer, and I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: think that's why I've been also feeling so good lately
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: going into the season, because I feel like I've created
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: rituals for a lot of different days.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Throughout the week.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Like Okay, so Fridays, I meet up with my girls,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I go for a walk, Saturdays, I do a workout
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: class with my workout friends and we go get smoothies
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: after and we like chat for like an hour after
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the class. Sundays, I'm doing runs with my husband. Like
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I'm really like dedicating days to doing things to make
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: sure that I hit these things off my bucket list.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm starting to realize as we talk about this
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that if you're looking to really hit everything off your
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: bucket list, I think this is the way to do it,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: is really dedicate days throughout your week to do things.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So maybe me and Zach make you know, our Thursday
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: nights the night where we you know, try different things out.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So you know, we go to the winery that night
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and you know, we try out different wines and have
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: a little date night. And then maybe next Thursday we
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: go to the beach and we have like a sunset
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: day all that. So I feel like in order to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: like knock these things down, it's good to kind of
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: have days where you know you're free and you can
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: really schedule, you know, nights to do these kind of things.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: So if you have an open schedule where you're able
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to do that, I think that's great. Even if it
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: is like at seven pm at night to do. So
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I think having like structured days is really helpful. So
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: every Saturday, I've been going to a workout class with
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: my girlfriends.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: We went smoothies.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Literally such a fun thing to do in the summer,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and yeah, we've been really enjoying it. Another thing that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I've been wanting to try, which literally sounds crazy even
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: saying this out loud, but I really want to go
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: horseback riding. I've never gone horseback riding. I think I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: put this on my bucket lists last year. I'm not
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: gonna lie because of course, everybody wanted to live the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus summer.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: That's what was trending last summer. I remember it to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: a tea.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So my sister and I actually found a place because
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: last year we thought we could ride them at this
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: place close by, but you can't. It's just like for shows.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: So we're like, okay, well we're not riding like a
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: horse in this area. So we found this one place
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that actually offers classes on how to ride a horse
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and sessions and all that. So I think we're going
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to do that on like a random Wednesday, Like literally,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: we're just going to do it on a random Wednesday,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and I'll make sure to log the entire experience. But
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I've never been on a horse before, so it is
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a little terrifying in my opinion.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: But I mean, we're all.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: About doing things out of our comfort zone. Another thing
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm very much looking forward to is just cottage weekends.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: As I said, and.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Just like campfires, fireworks. We're actually going to a cottage
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: on Canada Day weekend. One of my girlfriends, she owns
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a cottage, and it's just literally the most wholesome weekend ever,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: like being with your big group of friends, having a campfire,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: watching the fireworks, like kind of like your Fourth of
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: July if you're based in the States. We have Canadaday obviously,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: which is on the first of July. So being able
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to have a weekend like that is truly something that's
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: always so fun and something to always.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Look forward to.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But campfires in the summer, oh my god, they just
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: hit different. Like I love having a campfire in the summer,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And that kind of goes into this next one, which
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: is just like weekend getaways. So finding ways to go
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: on a road trip. Zach and I usually love to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: go to Montreal for an example, which is like a
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: two hour drive from us, so I'm hoping we can
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: do a little Montreal trip soon. We're obviously going to
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Miami this weekend, so that's kind of like a little
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: spontaneous weekend get away that we're doing. I hope to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: go to Vancouver to visit Trend because I haven't seen
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: her in a while, and then even like maybe planning
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: a little Prince Edward County trip where there's like a
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of wineries, a lot of cute like dinner spots
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: all that. So definitely a lot of plans in the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: works right now. I also would love to go to Europe.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Zach and I have been wanting to go to Europe
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: for August. We're trying to book that, honestly this month.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That's our goal. I know that's like super last minute
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and everyone books their Europe trip so far in advance,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: but sometimes Zach and I are last minute.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: When it comes to those things, and yeah, that's just
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: kind of the way it is.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: But we do want to do something for our anniversary
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: in August, which is coming so fast I cannot believe. Anyways,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I've been almost married for a year. Guys, how is
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: time flying by? Sofas I'm literally like in shock. But anyways,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of weekend getaway trips that we want to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: do or just like summer trips that we want to book.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And yeah, another thing I want to do is definitely
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: host more this summer. Now that we're going to have
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: our backyard done, I definitely want to host more backyard parties.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Would love to do theme parties, like even if it's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: like an Italian night with a bunch of like different
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: kinds of pizzas and pastas, and maybe make a whole
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: theme of like a tomato theme of doing like a
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: red and white checkered tablecloth with I don't know, just
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: like all these different kinds of appetizers, maybe playing like
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Italian music in the background like.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: That to me would be the perfect backyard party.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: So I definitely want to host as soon as our
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: deck is complete with all the furniture out and everything,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: which is obviously going to be happening soon.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: So very excited about that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: But I think hosting backyard parties is always a fun
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: little thing to do with your girlfriends or your couple friends.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Another thing I love to do is go to outdoor concerts.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: We have a few festivals that happen here in Ottawa.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: So there's definitely a few festivals that I definitely want
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to go to. In a few concerts that are happening.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: This is not an outdoor concert, but a concert that
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I really want to go to that I want to
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: get like last minute tickets for. But Tate McCrae. We
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: love her, She is the moment. Would love to go
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: see her. She is so iconic, and yeah, she's coming
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to Ottawa, so I'm like really wanting to get tickets
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: for that. And then I think there's a few country
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: artists and yeah, just coming to our blues vest, which
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: is what we have here, So I'm excited for that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: So if there's any festivals or outdoor concerts that are
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: happening this summer near you, you should definitely consider going
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: because it's always a fun night with friends and a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: fun thing to do during the summer season.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: The next one is reading more.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I definitely need to get back on my reading train.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest. I kind of slacked after Mexico. I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: did order a book for Miami, so I don't know
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: if I'll be able to finish in four days. I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: might be able to if I'm really focused, but I'll
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: definitely be able to read half of it and then
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: hopefully read the rest of it maybe when I'm home,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: standing in the backyard or something. But reading is definitely
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: on my to do list for the summer. I'd like
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to read at least three books this summer. That might
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: be bold of me, but I think I could definitely
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: do it. Like when you're wanting to be outside, just
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: like tanning or relaxing, like there should be no excuse
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: of just like reading a book or honestly, I plan
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: on having my morning coffee in the backyard as soon
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: as the couches are out, so that could also be
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a good opportunity of just like having my coffee and
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: reading my book for like fifteen minutes, like read what
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: two to three chapters. But it's better than not doing
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: any reading at all. So finding ways to like include
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: reading and to your routine is something that I'm working on,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: but it's something that I definitely want to be doing
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: more of this summer. I think the last thing when
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: it comes to the summer bucket list of things that
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I want to do is really just enjoying like the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: pool days, the lake days, like really just trying to
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: capitalize on those little moments of enjoying the outdoor space,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: going in pools, tanning, you know, chilling, relaxing, enjoy the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: nice weather.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Like being outside constantly.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I think is my overall goal of enjoying the nice weather,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: because we really only have summer for like three months
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and that's it. And to be honest, we had a
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: really bad May, Like our weather was not good. Usually
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I would say May is like usually the peak of
