  Speaker 1: Yeah, so January, February, March April.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: So I imagine them grouped together in those two pairs, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I see those two pairs as like very much the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: same vibe, and they all have their own particular little feeling.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just wild that every I had no
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: idea that everybody thought about the year in different ways. Yeah,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: but I feel like we can all collectively say, January,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you feel every thirty one days of January, you feel
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: every seventy three days of January, you feel the whole
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: year in January.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, what's your obsession?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: A new study has found that couples who spend more
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: on their wedding and engagement rings are.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: More likely to divorce. No way, So.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: A study by economists Andrew Francis Tan and Hugo M.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Milon found that couples who spend more on their weddings
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and engagement rings.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Are more likely to divorce. Higher spending on rings and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: lavish weddings increases the risk, while more modest celebrations are
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: linked to lower divorce rates. Wow.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Interesting, right, I wonder if some of that comes from
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: secondary marriages, because whenever I've spoken to people who are
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: getting married a second time. They spent heaps of money
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: on their first wedding and the second time they're like.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I can't be fucking asked to do that. Yeah, Like
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I wish I didn't spend that much money.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: The average Australian wedding costs thirty six thousand dollars. According
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: to money smart Server, eighty two percent of couples dipped
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: into their savings to pay for their wedding, sixty percent
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: of couples got a loan and eighteen percent use their
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: credit card. The average cost of an Australian wedding is
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: thirty six thousand dollars for one day.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Oh on a really nice holiday for that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But also you spend your money how you wish.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: But yeah, there it's very expensive, very expensive affair. I'd
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: be booking things in and like not saying it's for
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: a wedding.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I think there's a wedding tax.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: There's like the wedding tax that like when you go
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to a cake maker or a dressmaker or something and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: you book it in and then apparently as soon as
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: you say it's for a wedding, they like the price
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: gets increased significantly.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I would do the exact same thing, like
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for my sirch it's for my thirty seventh christening. Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it's a white cake.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: With a little man and woman on the top.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Cat get amazing.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Well there you go.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Shit, maybe it's a good idea to spend a little less, Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: to ensure your love lasts long. Like if I I
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I got married, I'd probably have a wedding, But I.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Don't want to spend that much money.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I would love to know how much did the chicks
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: who are married spend on their wedding? How much did
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you spend on your wedding? And if you had your
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: time over, would you spend that much money?
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Again, if you're listening on Spotify, put how much you
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: did spend?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Put your answer to that question in the comments place.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I want to see you.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: We want the juicy heart girls.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: And if you spend a lot of money, did you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: get divorced?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Yees?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Divorce? Shall we get into the episode?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Let's do it all right?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: My first way to go to go leaving, My first
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: way to blow up in twenty twenty five is to
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: get a tongue scraper. Now, this is an un sexy
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: product and it's been discussed many times on the internet,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and I said, absolutely influenced.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But it was always one of those things that I.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Was like, oh, I should get one of those, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I just didn't get one for like literally a fucking year.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Like I was like, I.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Really want to get one, I really want to get one.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And I finally got one.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And I love it. I love her. I got a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: bit excited.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: The first time I used it and I drew blood,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: So don't go too too hard. And it did freak
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: me out a little bit when you can see all
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: like the individual taste buds.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing a good cell here, am I.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But tongue scraping removes seventy nine percent more bacteria than brushing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And a study also found that scraping your tongue is
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: more effective at reducing bad breath and the bacteria that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: causes like bad breath odor than brushing. So if you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: want to have like minty, fresh, gorgeous breath all the time, get.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: A tongue scraper. And also it feels amazing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, feel so clean, so clean, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I lab that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to get one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Influenced.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: It was, honestly I got it was eight dollars on Amazon.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: We can link the ones in our store front and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I got two, so it was four dollars each.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, bloody bag and dad, yeah my first one.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: The rule of three styling tip. If you feel like
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you're in a slump with your outfits, try using the
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: rule of three styling tip. It's adding three key pieces
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: of visual interest to your outfit. So let's say you're
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: wearing a pair of jeans and a white T shirt.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: That doesn't count.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: That's like the base of your outfit.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: The three key.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Visual pieces you could add would be like an interesting jacket,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: so maybe like a cool blazer with a stripe.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Through it, or a leather jacket.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Then you could do a cool pair of boots, maybe
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: with a pop of color. And then the third one
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: could be your jewelry or your belt or your sunglasses.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: So it's just because I think sometimes when you're putting
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: together an outfit, it can be overwhelming, or you feel
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: like you wear the same thing all the time and
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you're like, I want to mix it up without having
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to buy a completely brand new thing or not know
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: where to start. Start with those three key pieces, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I think that's such an easy way to add some
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: interest to your outfits, and also it gives you more
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: options when you want to rewig you're close to you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: My base outfits are always so boring. It's base outfits
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: in a cool jacket. Yeah, Like I'm a slut for
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: a jacket.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: My most common like three pieces that add visual interests
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: would be a cool pair of boots, good pair of sunglasses,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and then a handbag.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: You do have cool handbags. You don't think jewelry you
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: always have cool jewelry.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, I do, but I also love
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: to wear like classic pieces of jewelry, so like goal,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: a pair of hoops, gold chain, which I do think
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: adds visual interest, but that is also like very classic. Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: My next tip is to stop pointing out your insecurities
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to other people and also yourself, because people do not
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: notice things as much as you think you do, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: we have this tendency to like self deprecate and just
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: kind of push these things on other people. And when
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you're pointing out your insecurities to other people and like
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the thing that you don't like, they have never ever
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: thought that, yeah, and you're just shining a big torch
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: on yourself being like, look like the amount of times
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I say to you, oh my god, look at this
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: giant fucking pimple, and you're like, I didn't even notice,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: but I do now, and like you don't care, like
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you're not there being.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Like you're so fucking ugly, like it will wash your face, like.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's not what's happening.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: But I think when you want to kind of be
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: glowing and feel confidence, that comes with also putting yourself
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: in a position of confidence and like self love. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: by pointing out insecurities to other people, you're not only
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: showing them like look, how fucking ugly. I am kidding,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: but you're like pointing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Out these things that you're put yourself lower.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And I feel like we also point them out to ourselves,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: like the way that we say things about ourselves, even
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: in our mind or out loud and being like, oh
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: like I don't like the way this looks in that
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: or I don't like.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, you just reinforce those negatives that you have
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: about yourself. And then I find that when I if
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I point something out to somebody or I say something loud,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: then in my head I'm like, oh, now they know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: and now they're looking Yeah, or now every time like
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: this thing happens, like they're going to be thinking that
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: or I look this way, they're going to be thinking that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: It's like, no, they don't.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And I do know that there's like a nuance to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: this as well, Like I don't think there's anything wrong
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: to me turning to you as my best friend and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: being like, look at this giant fucking zip or whatever
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: it is. You know, Like I think there's obviously like
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: comfortable times and places for that, But I'm meaning like
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: as a daily habit, Like habits are double edged sword,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Like bad habits can cut you down just as as
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: good habits can build you up. And that is a habit,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a bad habit that can cut you down and like
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: ruin your self confidence. So I'm really trying to.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Like embody that in terms of because like I love
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: as self deprecating joke doll.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But is it actually making me laugh or is it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: making me feel like shit?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Shit crap that hurts?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Just some truths, seriously.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Our next glow up tip this is the lazy Girl
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: shower hack. It's like a lazy girl beauty hack that
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: went literally viral, and it was to dampen your skin
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: in the shower. So we posted this video and it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Literally popped off.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: So our lazy girl shower hack had literally over eight
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand views. And it is essentially to use an
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: oil when you were getting out of the shower, so
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: when your skin is still wet, you put the oil
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: on your skin and then you dry yourself and the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: absorbs into your skin so much more. It means you
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: don't have to moisturize when you get out of the shower.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And it's my lazy girl ride or.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Die I looa bit.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: And when we posted this, the number one question was
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: but what oil?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: But which one?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Which?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: What one?
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And it's actually a long story, long story short. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: discovered this hack from Leah from Love Island. She posted
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: this like vanilla body care routine and she uses this
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Loxatan body oil. And so when we did this video,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: that's the oil that we bought and I started using
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: that and the Loxatan shower oils. Oh my god, it
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: sent me down a rabbit hole and I am now
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: a siesta. Okay.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: So it's the Loxatan Armond shower oil and it retails
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: for forty two dollars and it has four point eight
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: out of five stars from thousands of reviews, so it's good.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: One is also sold every seven seconds worldwide.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of oil.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of oil. But it just melts immediately
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: into your skin.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: It smells amazing and as like a dry skin Xmgirley.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It's really changed my whole body care routine. And yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the almond and vanilla scent of it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Is just so deliciously good. If you are a vanilla
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: sent girly, you need to try this. And yeah, when
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you're applying it on your skin in the shower, it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: just so good.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It's cleansing as well, Like what can't it do? What
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: can't you do?
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: She can't be talked. The best lazy girl beauty hack
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I have ever been given and will forever share until
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I'm lowered into the grave is to put oil on
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: your skin when you're in the shower. Okay. My next
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: one is the bluff communication tactic. And this is a
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: good one to pull out at work, especially blow up
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: at the work please exactly. So. Bluff is an acronym
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: that stands for bottom line up front. It's communicating the
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: most important.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Thing at the top. Yeah, I'm big fan, big jam.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: So if you're sending an email or you're presenting or
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: having a conversation, put the most important information at the top.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: A lot of the time we feel the need to
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: provide the context first. So they said no to this,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: So we've provided this option. Blah blah, XYZ, so we've
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: ended up here and this is the resolution or this
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: is the next step. Instead you would reframe that and
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: put the next step up top. So we're going to
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: do this because XYZ, I like that and provide that
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: because firstly, it helps you come across more confident and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: you know what you're talking about. But also people are
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: going to remember the first thing that you tell them true,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: and if you bury it in the context and people are.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Like wait, people bury the lead.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like the inverted pyramid of conversation.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: So if you need journalism or you remember that from
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: yours and I don't remember it, Essentially it's putting the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: most important information up top. Yeah, I respect that you're
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: gonna light this one ready?
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Are your ears open?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Your phone is why you don't feel sexy.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: For the players at home?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So I just not put it phone away and off
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the table.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: So there is an incredible article written by Catherine Shannon
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: on how your phone is killing your.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Ability to feel sexy.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And this is obviously not a new notion, Like we
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: we know this. We've talked about body positivity on social
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: media and following people that look like you and like
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: how the comparison traple of social media is debilitating to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: your confidence. But I really really like like the life
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: lesson I took, and I thought it was like a
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: very refreshing wake up call in the way that she
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: approaches how our phones make us feel unsexy. And in
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the article, she states that getting a text or a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: voicemail or a ring on your house phone and someone
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: saying it's for you, that was sexy, Like in the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: nineties and the early two thousands, using up all your
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: credit to like click a button three times to get
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: one letter and text your crush all night, you know
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like that was sexy when texts cost
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a dollar to say, because it was a little bit
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: harder and we didn't do it as much right. And
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: in the article she says, we've made things too easy,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: We've lost the chase. And here's a quote that I
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: think really made me giggle out there.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: But I was like fuck, you're so real for that,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: She says, something is deeply wrong when we sexed the
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: same way.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: We order a sandwich.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: So true, she continues to say, Today, everyone and everything
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: is always availab and there's nothing less sexy than that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: There's no chase.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Our phones don't allow us time to dwell, and they
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: don't allow us time to yearn.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Stance makes the heart grow fonder.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Why force yourself to daydream about the guy you're seeing
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: when you can easily look at dozens of photographs on
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: him online. Why walk into a store in Soho and
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: see what's on offer when you can stay home and
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: scroll the entire inventory from the comfort of your couch.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Why go to the library to find books about a
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: topic that interests you when you can look it up
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: on Wikipedia in two minutes and move on with your day.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: But the life lesson that I really felt in my
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: heart and soul and I was like, fuck, is that
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: social media forces us to borrow desires from others.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just watched your brain chemistry go.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Right, So we begin to want things that we didn't
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: even know we needed.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And it's a little bit like bigger than even just
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you know products, Right, I also want to practice this.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: With saying it's not to say that social media isn't helpful.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I have found some of the most incredible hacks and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: products and things that I am so glad that I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: discovered because of TikTok and Instagram and social media and like.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: And you can build community and find people.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's not to say I Am not going to
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: sit here and say.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Like, ignoks it over social media.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Because I do really like it and I've taken the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: time to cultivate, you know, a feed and creators and
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a following list that I do feel like fills my cup.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: That's not to say it feels it every time.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And it's also not to say that I feel great
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: every time I'm on social media. There are definitely days
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, why do I feel like shit, Oh yeah,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I've been on my phone all day. But it does
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: pose the question of maybe you don't feel sexy because
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: it's on purpose. If you feel sexy and confident, then
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: you're going to spend less.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And it's this notion of if.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: You're confident, shit, we've got to change, like, we've got
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: to change the tide. And that's why these trends, they're
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: constantly changing, so that you're always just a little step behind.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's chasing something.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like you won't get your hair done in the
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Teddy Bear chocolate brown.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Two fla shade. It's so in viral.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: You won't buy the skinny jeans that were cringe two
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: years ago, but now Alex Earl's wearing them, so they're
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: back in.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And if you're listening to this episode in two years time,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: they're probably out again and cringe.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It is a nice reminder that whenever you are
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: on your phone and you're like, oh, yeah, I want that,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: do you?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Or are you borrowing the desire?
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: And I'll finish this with the final quote from the article,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: which is a perfect go up tip in itself, and
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: it's that remember this the next time you fall asleep
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to a TikTok playing on an endless loop. One day,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: your heart will stop beating. The only thing that's eternal
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: is love. Well, I'll send you the article were linked
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: in the show notes as well. It's a substack and
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: substacks my life hyperfixation.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: At the moment, I'm obsessed with it. I actually have
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: another one coming up later in the episode.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, Sexy, My next one is adding whimsy to the mundane.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, I've seen this.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm saying this.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I've seen thee like a couple of different iterations.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: So I'll find the TikTok and I'll link it in
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: the show notes as well. But there was one chick
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: on TikTok who posted doing a call out being like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: what are the things that you do every day every
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: day to add whimsy to the mundane? And they were
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: just like so cute and silly and funny all the comments.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: But then I've also been sod with like a lot
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: of TikTok's about how to add whimsy to your everyday
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: routine that are much more like witchy kind of.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Which is obviously where our hearts.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: My favorite thing is that every woman wants to be
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a witch, right, every woman wants to like and every
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: woman is a witch.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, honestly.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So some of my favorite ways to add whimsy
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: to the mundane is listening to orchestral and classical music
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: while you're working, reading, cleaning the house.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I also love to.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Put on the TV on YouTube, like those ambient settings,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: so like the rainy day or the common room in
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: ones or there's ones that's set in like fourth wing
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: with like dragons flying around. Yeah. Yeah, like just even
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: that while you're reading, Oh my god, incredible carrying crystals
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: on your person, so putting like a crystal in your
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: bra or in your purse, which I love. And one
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: that I want to start doing that I saw from
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: one of these tiktoks is putting a sprig of rosemary
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: in your journal, yeah, which I just think is so cute.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Like you can use that obviously as a bookmark if
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: you really wish, but also then your journal is gonna
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: smell like rosemary every me open it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Like how romantic is that? I love it? Let's be
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: more whimsy. Okay.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: My next scullopt it for twenty twenty five is find
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: your minimum effective dose makeup.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: So I've been on a little bit of skin journey.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: This year, and my goal, not this year, but last
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: year was to try embrace wearing less makeup. And by
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the end of last year, my skin said bet it
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: was like go off, king go on, And I was
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: really struggling with like cystic and hormonal acne, and my
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: skin barrier was fucked to the suns, like it was
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: she was not having good tomes. She was going through
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and I really really lost my confidence to go like
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: without makeup. And I feel like now after you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: going to Faceelle and really really working on repairing that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: skin barrier, I've found a place.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: With my skin that I am so much more confident.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: That I've actually been able to step away from fear
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: feeling like I need a full beat like every day,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Like most days now, I have my minimum effective dose
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: makeup to feel like I'm put together, and it's not
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: about for anyone else, and it's purely like a for
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: me thing that I like to I really enjoy doing
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: my makeup, Like I really enjoy sitting down and putting
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: makeup on and that process of feeling like I'm getting
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: ready for the day.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's fine and it's fun. It's fun to play.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: And your minimum effective dose is so different, like depending
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: on who you are, it's what you like and to
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: feel put together. And for me, I've found like some
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: of the most amazing products that it is the I'm
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: going to give my product recommendations for the minimum effective
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: dose makeup look, So it's minimal makeup to feel and
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: look like you've still got it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Together, put together vibes, right, skinned hint.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: This thing glowing like I feel like it like just
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: evens out my entire skin, don't and I'm glowing from within.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: And I mix it with the Tart Cosmetics bronzing drops,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: and those bronzing drops are like a super thin serumi
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: kind of texture, and it just creates this lift in
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: my skin, like this glow like I kind of have
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: dull skin, and it just like lifts it as if
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I am naturally sunkissed European sun kissed goddess vibes right.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: My second is because that super light coverage is I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: go with like a more high coverage concealer and it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the Borne this way two face conceala e.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: My fucking god, sal put me onto this, and.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: It is, without a doubt, the best concealer I've ever
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: used in my entire life. There are definitely still other
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: concealers that I love, but this when we repurchase things,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: that's how you know we really like it, because we
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: are very lucky enough to get sent a lot of stuff.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, give me that bad boy ye her
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: forever ever ever.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: And then I use a lip tint basically across my
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: whole face and it's the Mabeling Teddy tint in skinny
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Dip because it's like a bronze blush that you don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: need to wear bronzer and you don't need to wear
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: blush because it's smack bang crackle pop in the same thing.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: And because it's like a lip tint but you can
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: use it on your eyes, you can use it on
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: your cheek, you can use it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: On your lips.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: That the whole thing just looks cohesive and put together
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: and it's long war so I don't have to reapply.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: And often when you're using cream products or light coverage.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: They like fall off your face them it's like, oh
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: is it a little bit hot today?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Goodbye?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And it is so good.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: And then my final one is the Flower Beauty Lash
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Warrior mascara. It's literally ten dollars and the best mascara
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: you'll ever use. So those are my red love it
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: for my no makeup makeup.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm into it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I'll keep it quick because it's also a beauty wreck
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: and it's to use a tubing mascara, So if you
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: have oily eyelids or you find that your mascara transfers,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: use a tubing mascara it's completely you really like it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: The moment one nice and affordable to it, Yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Really affordable.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I've been using it in the brown shade, but it's
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: also available in black, and I really like it. I've
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: been really struggling with a lot of mascara is transferring
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: and this one is so good.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I've been really getting around it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Recommend.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, my next one is another quick one, and it's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to steam your clothes.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I know it's a pain in the ass, but
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: I promise it's worth it because whenever you don't steam
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: your clothes, it doesn't look as good as when you
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: steam your clothes. And that might sound like I'm stating
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: the obvious, but whenever you're there in the morning and
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to my future self and I'm there and
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I can't be bothered to steam it. Later
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: in the day, I'm like, I should have just steamed it,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: or I do steam it. I'm like, I'm glad I
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: did that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: You see a photo of yourself.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: And you're like, because you think in your head, you're like, oh,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: it's not that noticeable.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Nobody will be able to tell.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And it's not noticeable.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: No one's looking at you and going you didn't steam.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: But there's just an elevation to your clothes when you
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: properly prep them for when you're wearing them. And when
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: you're spending so much money on your clothes, wouldn't you
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: want them.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: To look their best? Yeah, and take you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Know, the two minutes. You can get a steamer from
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Kmart and it will do the job.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's so quick and you don't have to
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: fuck around with a nining board, do it the night before.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: That's just the easiest way, please my god.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, My next one is buying duplicates to make
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: your life easier. So there's a few different categories that
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I think that this could sit in, depending on what
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: you need. But I was out for dinner with a
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: friend the other day and they were talking about how
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: they needed to buy new socks. So they hadn't brought
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: them in years, as we do, so they're all a
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: bit ready and ready to go. She threw away all
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: of her socks and then repurchased like ten just of
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: the same pair. She was like, now I will never
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: have mismatch socks. And then another thing that I've been
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: doing is with tupperware, containers. So I know everybody's tupperwear
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: container drawer is just like it's basically the junk drawer
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: of your kitchen, and everybody just like throws it in
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: there and like slams the door and then just hopes
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: that like it won't all come crashing down on them.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: And I was doing the exact same thing because all
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: of them were like different shapes and sizes, had different lids,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: and it was just a mess. So at the beginning
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: of the year, they were all a little bit worse
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: for where I'd had them, probably like since I'd moved
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: in many years ago, and I just repurchased all glass
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: ones that were the same size that are easier to stack,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: and again that way, they're just easier to mix a
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: match because they're all the same size. And then also
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: glassware as well is another one that I did because
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: I live in an apartment and.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: The space is not the best.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I just was like, I need a repurchase glass where
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: that I can stack together. That makes more sense for
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the space and the storage situation.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on the two out of three rule to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: always look put together, and it's a super quick one,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: and it's basically to always have two out of three
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: of your hair, makeup, and outfit done. So if you're
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: in a rush or you can't be bothered, but you
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: want to look like you've got your life together.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Basically you've had like two hours sleep and you're like,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: fuck my life, Yeah, you're hungover a shit.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: As long as you have two out of three of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: your makeup, hair, and outfit done, you sorted. Yeah, you
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: can cut cut a corner with that one.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that, And I was thinking about it
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and I was like, that's true.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Like whenever I am like too tired and not bothered,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: what have I done? And it's always like I'll probably
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: do my hair and put on an outfit and then
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, can't we want to do makeup today?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: So true, pick your poisons. I feel like I'm a.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Makeup and maybe make up and outfit and then I
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: throw the hair back sleep for hair.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like today, Okay.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: This one is to help you structure your day so
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: that you hit your step goal. Because this year I
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: set myself a step goal because I was finding that
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: when I was looking back on how many steps I
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: was hitting, I was like, I'm just like not moving
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: my body enough.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: It's hard when you have an office job.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: It's really hard. But it also is possible. And I
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: knew that it was possible, but.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I think that I just wasn't optimizing my day to
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: hit it. And you know, I would get to the
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: end of the day and be like, oh cool, now
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: I've got like this many steps that I need to
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: hit and it's eight thirty at night. Like, I just
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: wasn't really forward planning. So, for example, let's say that
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: your step goal is ten thousand steps a day, which
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: I think is pretty commented. Yeah, so it takes around
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: an hour and forty minutes of walking to get ten
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: thousand steps. This obviously has some variation depending on how
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: fast you're walking, how how long your legs are, et cetera.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: So let's just take this with a grain of salt.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: But if you want to get ten thousand steps a
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: day and you need to get that in an hour
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: and forty minutes, you could structure your day in the morning,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: do thirty minutes when you wake up, or build it
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: into your commute, or go to a cafe that requires
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: you to walk a little bit further, but do that
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: by thirty in thirty minutes. Then at lunchtime, do twenty
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: minutes of walking. So whether that's going to the supermarket
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: to buy your groceries for dinner, walking to the park,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: taking a dog for a walk, if you work from home,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: whatever it is, but twenty minutes at lunchtime, because I
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: think most people you know.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Hope you need to get in total minutes of movement.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: At least for your brain. For your brain exactly.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Then throughout the day, as you're working, get up and
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: walk around for around two and a half minutes every
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: hour over an eight hour sort of shift.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: That gives you another total of twenty.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Minutes and two and a half minutes an hour. Isn't
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: much like.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: That's you like getting up and going and making a
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: cup of tea or going to the toilet, or walking
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: instead of slacking your cowork or walking over to their.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Desk and asking them a question.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Then after work, do thirty minutes so that could be
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: your commute home, going to the gym and walking on
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: the treadmill, or if you're doing an exercise class, or
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: if you have a walking pad, and then that broken
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: up gets you to an hour and forty minutes and
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: then ten thousand steps.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I even think if you had just the thirty minutes
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: in the morning and the thirty minutes in the afternoon.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Half the time, you'll make up the rest of it
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: just in like the natural way you potter around when
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: you make dinner or you get ready in the morning,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: or when you're doing like your closing shift clean Like
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I find that when I do like the thirty minutes
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: in the morning and the evening, the re like the
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: other like two thousand steps kind of make up themselves.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah that.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they love that.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I still think you should like get up and move
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: around during the middle of the day as well, because
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: whenever I don't do that, brain farts.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Whenever I do do that, brain.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Smooth, Yeah, brain smooth. Okay.

• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Another fashion one, and this is a tip to revive
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: your leather pieces.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, yeah, So if you.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Have real leather, whether that is a handbag, jacket, wallet whatever.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Leather contains natural oils in it that help it be
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: like soft and buttery and beautiful. But just like you skin,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: it dries out and it needs to be moisturized. So
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: you can actually get leather conditioner that you massage into
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: your leather pieces that will help rehydrate it and that
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: stops it from getting really stiff and brittle and cracking.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: And leather pieces are an investment and there are things
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: that can last you forever, but they do require a
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: little bit of care. And the leather condition is like
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: six bucks or something like. It's not expensive and it
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: doesn't take long, but it can really help extend the
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: life of your leather pieces and also make them look
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: like a little bit more shiny and nourished and beautiful
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: and lux And then also I shared a TikTok on
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: this a while back, but you can get leather.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Cleaner spray as well.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Amazing, Yeah, really really good, because I had so many
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: leather jackets that were just like coated in makeup around
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: the collar.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: When you also buy.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Them sometimes, like when you get a vintage leather jacket,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: they can.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Come a little bit crusty or a little bit dirty.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: So it's good to know that what you're about to
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: say is also an option when you're shopping.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, because you shouldn't be using water to clean
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: your leather jackets.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I never knew that.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it strips away the natural oils that are
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: in the leather. The oil can and yeah, that's what
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: dries it out and can be damaging on the leather piece.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Whereas if you get this particular leather or soap, it
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: has like conditioning soap in it that helps clean it
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: but also doesn't dry it out. So yeah, I need
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: to do that. Okay, this tip is personally just for you. Ooh,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: and it's to level up your sleep.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, so had a very bad sleep score last night.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah it wasn't good.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like, on a scale of one to ten,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: what would you give yourself at being a good sleeper,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: like one being insomniac?
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Maybe like a six or seven.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: That's higher than I thought you would.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, because I feel like I get around sixty
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: to seventy in my sleep score like consistently, but I
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: just like struggle to sleep on the SAMMI mo own bed.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: But potentially maybe the reason we feel like shit and
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: look like shit is because we're not getting enough sleep. Yeah,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: and I can tell, like I can tell when I
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: wake up of.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Like ooh yeah, Like who's that.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, that sleep did not hit And as
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: we get older, you know, when we were little and
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: like someone did it for us.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: They did the bedtime routine for us.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: They're like, it's time to go to bed, brush your teeth,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: read your book, blah blah blah. And as we get older,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: we like just adult babies, and no one does it
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: for us anymore.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking for myself.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not calling anyone they, but I've put together like
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a routine now that I genuinely
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: have seen the difference in my sleep tracking, and I
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: wanted to share them.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: One of them I already told you about, and it was.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: To stop consuming caffeine within six hours of going to
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: sleep because I love a cokexio with Denise. Yeah, yes
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: my tweet, I love it. But Rob was like, you
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: know those caffeine and that.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I was like, ahp cokesire right, and he was like,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: no sugar, there's no sugar.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: But there's actually coke zero, no sugar, no caffeine. And
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I did a test to see when I had the
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: no caffeine before bed if it made a difference, and
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: the time frame that I fell asleep in was so
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: much shorter, and the my latency and then also my
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: rem sleep and deep sleep were higher compared to when
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I would have a caffeine drink within six hours of
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: going to bed. And then another one that I've recently incorporated,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: which you're gonna laugh at me, is mouth tape.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so Rob.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Like got mouth tape and I was like, you loser,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm converted.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: At first, I felt really chastrophobic. I was like like,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: and I also hated that I couldn't talk anymore. This
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: is it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: This is the end. Like if I want to like
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: have a little chat at like two am, how do
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: I do? I'm but it did make such a difference
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: and I did again see an elevation in my sleep score.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: And secondly, this is my ride or Fucking Die sleep product,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: and it's an Bluetooth sleep I mask, And so it's
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: an mask that has Bluetooth speakers within the mask that
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: you can put on like a sleep story Harry styles.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Of BSI or snooze with Sam.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Who has like that deep Scottish irish and a little
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: bloud belove him.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, obsessed, and that whenever I wear that, I don't
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: remember falling asleep. And that's how I know it's good
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: because I'm like such a chronic overthinker. I mean, like
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: what about this and I start writing like scripts in
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: my head. Yeah, that that one is amazing.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: And obviously reading, there was a study that showed that
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: six minutes of reading reduces your stress by sixty eight percent. Wow,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: more than walking, more than like meditating, drinking cup of tea,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: and stress is obviously the biggest like blocker to sleep
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: and quality sleep.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: So simply reading like that's two pages. Ways to level
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: up your sleep.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Is stop consuming caffeine within six hours, mouth tape, a
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: blue sleep mask, and reading for six minutes before bed
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: will absolutely change your life.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: You're welcome.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I actually had one that is a quick one that's
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: kind of similar to that, and it's using nose tape
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: falling asleep.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Have you done that?
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Yes? I have. So if you struggle with snoring or
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: your partner struggles with snoring, you feel like you aren't
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: breathing probably while you're sleep sleeping, use nose tape.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: But that was just a quick.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: One, and then I have a money saving hack for
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: my next one blowing up your finances, and it's to
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: switch and save money. So the average Aussie household could
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: save six hundred and fifty dollars by switching their utility plan.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: So you could say four hundred and nineteen dollars annually
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: on electricity and two hundred and twenty seven dollars on
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: gas by switching from the average to the cheapest plans,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: according to new research by Moso Wow. So that's a
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: total saving of nearly six hundred and fifty dollars a
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: year and then a reason. A Triple C report also
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: found that households who hadn't switched their electricity plans in
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: more than a year were coughing up two hundred and
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: thirty eight dollars more annually than customers on newer offers.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to do that today.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to go home because I actually just
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: got my bill and it was not sexy. It did
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: It was not a blow up. No, that bill was
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: not a glow up. Okay, how to glow up your photos?
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: And I think I get this question once a week,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: and it's how to get a film affect photo on
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: your photos.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: And I just use this one.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: App to literally look like all of my photos were
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: taken on a digital camera or a film camera and
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: they were not.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I'm a fool. And this app is called daz Cam.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: It has been my ride or die for years, and
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: it has all of these cameras loaded into the app
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: with the presets of what the film would look like
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: or the digital camera.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Photo would look like. And it saves you so much money.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: So the one time purchase I believe is nineteen dollars
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: and ninety nine cents, so twenty bucks or I think
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: it's seven dollars a month and honestly worth every single
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: cent in my mind. Like I take all my photos.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: You can take it in app or you can upload
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: photos into it so that you have both versions and
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: you can play around.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: It also has film footage settings.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: It is easily my favorite thing in the world because
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: you save so much money rather than buying like actual
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: CODEAC cameras, which I still love that because it's very romanticized.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that is the app that I.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Use to get all my film effects on photos, and
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: I love it and I've put so many people onto it.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dad's camdazz Love. We'll put a link in the
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: show notes, ye so that you can.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Down load another beauty one and it's a hair tip.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Over eighty percent of people are mistreating their hair by
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: using the wrong heat settings. I found this out because
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: we've recently did a collab with Cloud nine and this
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: isn't sponsored, but I just learned it through the collab
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: and I started using the two and one Contouring Pro
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Hair Straightness so good. And it's so good because it

  Speaker 2: With kind of what you were talking about with you know,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: being whimsy and having fun with that. But she says
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: that it's a potent drug to believe in yourself. It's
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: like greeting a soldier home from war after years of
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: trying to fight myself away. I've told countless friends about
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: my new superpower, being myself. I don't have degrees from
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: prestigious universities or every experience under my belt, but I
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: have a unique perspective and I know that it's worth sharing.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I have innate excitement about the world around me. That
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: is a key part of who I am.

  Speaker 2: have encompassed this feeling in our world, whether it's being
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: whimsy or romanticizing our day or feeling like a witch
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is. But really, when you break down
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: all of those things, at the core of it is
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: you being yourself and enjoying it at the end of
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: the day, all of those trends, all of those notions
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: of how we communicate what that feeling is, because it's
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: so hard to name what that is. It's just enjoying
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: being yourself and that is the ultimate way to glow up,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: is to realize and literally just glow from the inside
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: out because the magic comes from within you.
