Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the hawk Rill Energy Podcast.
0:18
I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is your weekly reminder that it's
0:21
a new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day.
0:24
If you'd become the hawk Rill Energy you want to attract. Hello you
0:28
guys, Happy Tuesday. I am dealing with construction once again, so I
0:35
apologize if you guys hear anything in the background. Our road is getting paved
0:40
today, so there's a lot of like heavy machinery in the front of my
0:44
house. And yeah, so anyways, I don't think you'll hear it.
0:48
Last episode, I don't think we heard anything when it came to constructions.
0:51
So yeah, it's just because I live in a new neighborhood, so I
0:55
try my best to stay as far away as I can from the noise whenever
1:00
i'm recording. But there's only so many areas of my host that I can
1:03
record an episode. But anyways, I'm very excited about this episode. I
1:08
have been really wanting to record an episode about this where it's talking about trends
1:14
specifically. I feel like when I'm on TikTok, I always kind of get
1:19
my fashion inspo, my wellness inspo, my makeup inspo, all that from
1:25
social media in general, could be TikTok, could be Pinterest, could be
1:29
Instagram. And so I really wanted to talk about things that I think are
1:32
in for the summer of twenty twenty three and things that are out. There's
1:36
a lot of things that I can think about from last summer that I feel
1:40
like a lot of people aren't doing as much anymore. And don't get me
1:45
wrong, like, these are not just things that are scientifically proven that it's
1:49
out of style or whatever, like, these are just things that I can
1:52
think of that I see on social media, or things that I personally find
1:56
are things that I'm not gravitating towards anymore, or things that I'm doing that
1:59
I actually like. So everything that I talk about, it's not like I'm
2:04
telling you guys, this is exactly what you need to do, like you
2:07
need to be on this trend, you need to stop doing this trend.
2:10
These are just things that I've noticed through social media people saying that it's in
2:15
or out for twenty twenty three. So I thought I would share because I
2:19
thought that'd be an interesting episode to talk about, especially since summer has officially
2:23
started. This week on June twenty. First, we've officially hit our summer
2:27
time frame. I mean it already feels like it's been summer obviously because we're
2:30
in June. But yeah, so I thought it'd be very convenient to do
2:35
an episode about just what is trending this summer and what isn't. So first
2:38
off, let's talk about fashion. I have always loved fashion. I don't
2:45
share it too much on my socials, but I feel like I talk a
2:46
lot about fashion with you guys here on the podcast. So things that I've
2:50
been recently purchasing so far for summer of twenty twenty three is long Maxi skirts.
2:55
I love how modest and elegant this style is. I feel like maxi
3:01
skirts have made a huge comeback, and I feel like denimlong maxi skirts are
3:07
really in satin. Maxi skirts are in even like Maxi dresses, like anything
3:13
long like to the ankles that's either like fitting loose. All that I find
3:17
is super super in right now. And I've actually purchased a few skirts for
3:22
myself of this summer, and I just love the way it looks very elegant
3:25
and not showing too much skin like obviously I have my mini skirts and all
3:30
that, but I've been gravitating more towards my maxi skirts because I just find
3:35
it looks very put together. Another thing I've been loving is rompers and dresses.
3:40
And when I say rompers and dresses, I mean workout romper and dresses.
3:45
So I really like Lululemon, I like CSB, A Ritzia. Those
3:50
are probably my favorite workout activewear brands. But what I've been noticing is that
3:54
a lot of them are creating cute little rompers or dresses to wear just like
4:00
easy everyday outfits, whether you're running errands or you're in the house. I
4:03
don't want to put on a pair of jeans if I'm sitting in my house
4:06
all day doing work like That's just not my ideal comfort outfit for me.
4:10
I'd rather wear a workout set or a romper or a squirt anything like that.
4:15
So I've been really into workout at leisure chill at home outfits, and
4:19
I've really been liking the dresses with like a built in squirt in it.
4:24
And I think there's an aligne dress at a Lulemon that I've been looking at
4:27
that has that it's like the built in scort, the full on dress,
4:30
it's really really cute, super flattering. And then rompers. I love the
4:33
Divinity romper from a Ritzy. I wear that one all the time. It's
4:36
my go to. I have it in like three colors and it's very flattering
4:41
as well. Now we get into skirts. If you guys follow me on
4:44
Instagram, you guys know I've been in my sports era. I love just
4:47
throwing on a scot with a qute tank top. That is the perfect everyday
4:51
outfit in my opinion. Same thing with the rompers and dresses that I just
4:55
mentioned. When I'm going out to run errands or if I'm at home,
4:58
I don't want to wear something uncomfortable. I wonder wears something that's comfy that
5:01
I can wear all the time. So sports have been a very gravitating item
5:05
for me. I got two squirts from a Ritzia. And I know Alo
5:10
Yoga sells some really cute ones lu Lemon all that. So those activeware brands
5:15
are really launching a lot of sports lately and a lot of cute ones,
5:19
a lot of stable colors all that. So I yeah, I can't say
5:24
enough good things about athleisure wear when it comes to just chill outfits at home,
5:28
especially if you work from home. As I said, just being able
5:30
to still look put together but feel comfortable and what you're wearing. Another thing
5:35
that I've been loving is linen pants. I feel like parachute pants were really
5:41
in last summer, and I still find that they're in this summer. But
5:45
I feel like more of the linen look is what's in. I still wear
5:48
my parachute pants obviously, just because they feel like they're sweatpants, but you
5:53
feel like you're a bit more put together. And the linen pants, I
5:57
find, is like a level up. It just gives more of a casual
6:00
but put together look. You could dress it up, you could dress it
6:02
down, and as I said, still put together. Okay, let's talk
6:06
about jeans, because I feel like jeans have definitely changed a lot. I
6:12
want to stay within these past few years. It used to be all about
6:15
high wasted jeans. Now I feel like it's all about low wasted jeans,
6:23
which I feel like a lot of people have mixed opinions about. Like I
6:26
feel like the high wasted girlies are like I'm never going back like high wasted
6:30
forever, like never changing back to low wasted, but I felt like I
6:36
was that girl where I was all about high wasted, and then I discovered
6:41
low wasted, but more of the bag year gene. I do not wear
6:46
skinny jeans anymore, and that's one of the fashion trends that I'll talk about
6:49
that's out. But I do not gravitate towards skinny jeans. I don't even
6:51
think I have a pair of skinny jeans and like a wardrobe anymore. I'm
6:55
pretty sure I've donated all my skinny jeans or have given them away, anything
6:59
like that. But I just don't gravitate towards that look anymore. I'm always
7:02
looking for oversized, baggy, low rise jeans. That is my go to
7:08
gene. When it comes to a gene that I want to wear for going
7:11
out or a midrise, that is the most rise I will do. I
7:15
will never wear a highways to gene again. I just feel like it doesn't
7:17
suit my body type. I know some people like that for their body type,
7:21
but I've noticed a lot of people shifting towards the baggy low rise gene.
7:28
That's just what's in. My favorite got gene is the Levi Dad jeans.
7:33
It is the perfect low slash mid rise gene that gives the perfect amount
7:39
of bagginess. It's not like it looks like I'm wearing my dad's jeans.
7:43
It's the perfect bagginess like that's the best way to describe it. It's not
7:47
too baggy where it looks like it's your dad's pants. It's the perfect amount
7:50
of bagginess where it just looks a little oversized on you, but still very
7:54
put together and looks super flattering. But yeah, I don't want to go
7:59
too much into gene because I feel like people are very picky about specific genes
8:03
that they wear. And I know people that still wear high waisted, skinny
8:05
jeans because that's what they find is the most flattering on their body type,
8:09
which is totally fine. So this is just something again that I'm talking about
8:13
that I've seen on TikTok and social media and what I feel like is most
8:16
in right now. Okay, so let's get into heels now. I've noticed
8:22
that the smaller the heel the better lately, and more towards the slip on
8:26
heel. I really notice the pointy heels making a comeback last summer, where
8:31
it's just like a pointy heel classic workshoe, you know, like the Christian
8:37
Lubitan heels like those are a bit extreme of what I'm talking about, but
8:39
it gives you guys a general idea of what type of shoe I'm talking about.
8:43
But anyways, the slip in pointed toe heels but with a mini heels.
8:46
I'm trying to think of the type of heel that they call this shoe.
8:50
I think it's called the kitten heel, where it's a mini heel and
8:54
it's just a slip on shoe, as I said, but with a pointed
8:56
toe. Anyways, I've been seeing a lot of influencers wear it. I
9:00
recently got myself a pair and I'm literally obsessed. I never thought I would
9:05
love a low rice heel so much. I've always been into the platform,
9:09
thick, high high heels just because the higher the heel, I find I
9:13
feel more confident walking in like a high heel. But these are very very
9:18
classy, very very elegant, so easy to walk in, so like convenient
9:22
to where I wore them for two parties that I went to these past two
9:26
weekends, and they were so comfortable, did not complain about my feet being
9:30
store at all, which is literally the best feeling ever not having to take
9:33
your shoes off when you're at a house party or something like that. So
9:37
anyways, highly recommend. I'm gonna link my Revolved favorites in this episode description
9:41
as well, just to show you guys some styles that I've been talking about.
9:43
If you guys, are you know, not the most fashion sense and
9:48
you want to gain some inspo from this episode of things to purchase, I
9:52
will link that down below just to give you an idea of putting a visual
9:56
while I'm talking about some of these fashion trends. So you'll probably see the
9:58
kid and heel that I'm talking about in my Revolve favorites and all that.
10:01
That way just gives you an idea of what a visual is for the things
10:05
that I'm talking about. But another thing when it comes to shoes is platform
10:11
flip flops. I never thought these would ever come back in style. It's
10:16
funny because my mom wears platform flip flops and she's always worn them, like
10:22
I'm talking like years upon years upon years, Like I feel like she just
10:24
never let them go, Like obviously it was something that was trending in the
10:28
nineties and she just never let that style go for her. So she would
10:31
wear them, you know, five years ago, and I'm like, mom,
10:33
you need to change up your shoes, like this is not in whatever.
10:37
She still wears them to this day. Like that style, she always
10:39
had a hard time finding them to like wear, Like she'd go to guests,
10:43
she'd go to like random shops and they'd be like, yeah, no,
10:46
like we don't sell platform flip flops. And she'd always have to find
10:48
like random companies just to obviously like upgrade the pair. And they made a
10:54
huge comeback and she's so happy that they're back. And it's just funny because
10:58
I'm like, my mom literally just never stopped wearing them, and now it's
11:01
just such a big thing. But I saw Emma Leisure. I don't know
11:05
if you guys follow her on Instagram, but she posted these old navy platform
11:09
flip flops that were like ten bucks. That is literally the most ideal pair
11:13
to buy, because we don't know how long they're going to be staying in
11:16
style. For it's ten dollars, it's not like you're splurging on one hundred
11:20
and fifty dollars pair of I don't even know what brand I'm gonna say,
11:22
Steve Madden flip blops that you don't even know are going to still be in
11:26
style by next summer, So definitely check o Old Navy. I ordered myself
11:30
the white and black pair. I don't know how often I'll wear them.
11:33
I'm curious to see if it's going to fit my style. I may even
11:35
return them. I have no idea. I feel like a lot of these
11:37
trends as well, are definitely like different for everyone. Not everybody's gonna feel
11:43
like it suits their fashion sense. Like these platform flip blops. I know
11:46
they're in style, but I don't know if it's going to suit my fashion,
11:50
so I ordered them. I'll keep you guys posted if I like them.
11:54
But yeah, so know that not all these things will work for you,
11:58
but it just gives you an idea of Like I said, what's trending
12:01
this year? Okay this, I have been on top of belts. I've
12:05
been obsessed with belts lately. I got two belts from Aritzia, a gold
12:09
belt and a silver belt, and I find it's the easiest way to elevate
12:13
an outfit. You can literally throw in a pair of jeans, throw on
12:16
a black T shirt, and add a belt to the outfit, and you've
12:18
already elevated the look by ten times more by just adding a belt and then
12:24
adding a nice pair of kitten heels, Like there's your going out outfits.
12:26
So I feel like belts have made a huge comeback. I have been loving
12:31
it doesn't have to be like an outrageous belt, could be the most simple
12:35
belt. It just again elevates a very simple look. And I have felt
12:39
like I've been in my Sofia Ritchie era, and I feel like everybody's saying
12:43
that she blew up on TikTok with her whole prep of her wedding series of
12:50
her getting ready, and her style is just so modest, elegant, put
12:56
together. And I've really discovered with myself. I really feel like I've found
13:00
a modest side and more elegant side to my fashion. I used to always
13:03
gravitate towards like crop tops and all that, and don't get me wrong,
13:07
it's still like to wear that for going out, but for like a day
13:09
to day outfit to run errands and all that. I'm feeling more and more
13:15
comfortable wearing like longer shirts, like T shirts, and like long sleeves and
13:20
just adding again a belt with a pair of jeans and a pair of kitten
13:24
heels, Like I find that is so elegant and put together. And yeah,
13:30
I don't know, I've just been really liking that look. So I've
13:33
been really steering away from the crop tops for everyday looks and just steering more
13:37
towards like basic teas and then elevating it with belts, jewelry all that.
13:43
Lastly, I'm going to talk about one thing that I think is really in
13:46
for jewelry. I feel like jewelry is always changing every year, but right
13:50
now I feel like staple earrings are really in it just again elevates an outfit,
13:56
but just like getting bigger and more out their earrings for your outs makes
14:00
it look more put together. It doesn't have to be hoops, like I
14:03
feel like coops are always in, but I feel like lately it's been those
14:05
Botega teardrop earrings, Like I got a dupe for those from Anthropology that literally
14:11
looked like the real thing, but they were like forty bucks. You can
14:15
get really good staple earrings from Amazon, like they could be super affordable.
14:18
There's also a new brand called Heavy Manners. The influencer named Pia. She
14:22
owns it and she has beautiful, beautiful staple earrings. I love her collections
14:28
so so much. And again, as I said, it's just like a
14:30
nice little thing to add to an outfit. Okay, so what's out for
14:33
fashion? One thing that I need to highlight that I felt like was so
14:37
in last year and I'm so happy I never got on the bandwagon and bought
14:41
these was those Dickies fold over pants. I was not into those at all,
14:48
and I felt like those blew up all over TikTok, and now nobody
14:52
is wearing them. So definitely don't like that fold over. Do you guys
14:56
know the pants I'm talking about. They're like the fold over dress pants almost,
15:01
and they had like that white band across the hips. Yeah, those
15:03
are the pants I'm talking about. Those are definitely not in anymore. I
15:05
never bought them and I just don't think. Yeah, I don't think they're
15:11
meant for summer twenty twenty three. Another thing that I think is out is
15:13
mini handbags. Like I'm talking mini mini handbags to the point where all you
15:18
could fit is a lip gloss and you can't even fit your cell phone.
15:22
I felt like those are really in last summer, and I just don't see
15:24
them being practical whatsoever. I just don't see the point in spending the money
15:28
on a purse that can literally only fit your lip gloss or maybe your wallet,
15:33
maybe if you have a card holder wallet. So I never purchased a
15:37
mini hambag. I don't plan on purchasing one. I use a handbag for
15:43
the practicality, Like I need something to fit my phone in my wallet,
15:46
my random eighty five lip glosses and lip liners, like that's just a must
15:50
for me. So a mini handbag is just not practical for me, and
15:54
I just don't think is really in for summer twenty twenty three. We already
15:56
talked about highways jeans and skinny jeans, But another thing I feel like that's
16:02
not really in anymore is ripped jeans. I feel like I'm seeing less and
16:06
less ripped jeans on like websites in general. I've seen a few with like
16:11
a one hole in the knee and that's it, which I think is fine,
16:15
But I'm not seeing ones with like rips down the thighs, the legs
16:18
like anything like that. I've seen a few pair of jeans with slits on
16:22
the side, which I think looks really nice as well. But yeah,
16:26
I feel like ripped jeans are not the biggest thing right now, and the
16:29
last thing for a fashion out is lace up heels. I don't really see
16:33
many people wearing those. I also personally find those are extremely uncomfortable and I
16:38
never know how to tie them properly. I feel like I'm always not gravitating
16:42
towards that. I'm always just gravitating towards a heel that I can just slip
16:45
on or strap in, Like I just love a good staple like sandal heel
16:52
that you could wear for every day or as I said, just a slip
16:55
on. So I don't really feel like a lace of heels are very in
17:00
this summer. Okay, let's talk about wellness trends, because you guys know
17:03
I'm all about health and wellness. This one trend I've seen all over my
17:10
for you page, and it's not really like something I've seen specifically. I've
17:12
seen just people do it in their morning vlogs, and it's something that I've
17:18
actually wanted to try and I really want Zach to try as well. Is
17:22
mouth taping. I know it sounds weird. It kind of looks concerning as
17:26
well, but it's supposed to help you focus on breathing out of your nose
17:30
burst your mouth at night, because apparently there's some health benefits to blowing through
17:34
your nose instead of blowing out through your mouth. I definitely breathe through my
17:38
mouth when I'm sleeping. Zach definitely does as well. So I've seen a
17:44
few people doing the mouth taping. I think you can get it off Amazon.
17:48
I don't think you have to go to a specific place to order it,
17:52
but it's very like minimal. It's like the smallest little piece of tape.
17:56
You literally just put it in the top of your like the top to
17:57
the bottom of your lips. You sleep with it. So it feels kind
18:02
of scary when I think about it, because I'm like, i feel like
18:03
I'm going to suffocate myself because I'm so used to breathing out of my mouth
18:08
while i sleep. So definitely something I want to do more research on.
18:11
But it's definitely something that I've seen become more and more popular through social media,
18:17
specifically when I've seen a few people do the mouth taping. I don't
18:21
know about you guys, but I have been on running TikTok. I feel
18:23
like everybody and anyone I know is getting into running. And I've always been
18:30
a runner, I've never really took it as a weekly thing until last summer.
18:37
I made it a weekly like thing that I like to do just to
18:40
get a good sweat in. And I also find running is very therapeutic.
18:44
I love to go on my walk, so if I can also get an
18:45
even better workout in by going for a run, yeah, I don't know.
18:49
I just like to throw a podcast on or some music on, even
18:52
just running for like twenty five to thirty minutes. I don't really put a
18:56
distance on how long I run. I put a time so some of you
18:59
guys are like coming to do you run three K, five K, ten
19:00
k, Like, I literally just run for thirty minutes. I put a
19:03
thirty minute time er on. I run around the block of my neighborhood until
19:07
I've reached the thirty minutes, and then I come in the house. So
19:08
I don't really track how far I run. I just like to do it
19:12
because I find it's very therapeutic. And yeah, I just find I've been
19:17
on running TikTok, where a lot of people are just you know, come
19:18
on a run with me for my very first time, like just explaining them
19:23
becoming a running TikToker and one of my best friends Land She's a runner and
19:30
I always enjoy watching her. TikTok's just about like her running tips because obviously,
19:36
like she has the key components as to like things you should be using
19:41
for when you're running. So she has like the best running shower, it's
19:45
the best runners to use all that, So I always look at her for
19:48
advice when it comes to what to get for a runner, because I definitely
19:52
don't have the best running shoes when it comes to running, but I also
19:56
don't run like ten ks, so I also don't want to injure myself though,
20:00
so I'm definitely looking at running tiktoker's just to get some advice on what
20:06
the best running shoes are to get. I hear the Hokos Hookahs Hokos Hokas,
20:11
I think it's Hoka's. The Hookahs running shoe is really popular. I've
20:18
definitely seen a lot of people on TikTok like rave about that brand for runners.
20:22
So definitely something I plan to look into if I want to keep up
20:27
with my running. I also don't know if I told you guys this,
20:30
but I've been kind of low key on like posting my workouts and all that
20:37
on social media because I actually pulled my quad again. If you guys remember
20:41
last summer, I pulled both my quads and I was out of sports for
20:45
like I want to say, well, working out in sports for a month
20:48
probably, which isn't that bad, but I pulled it two weeks ago.
20:52
I'm feeling a lot better. I can definitely still like do spinning classes and
20:57
do the you know, typical Matt workouts that I do at home, but
21:00
I have to avoid certain workouts, which sucks. But I haven't been able
21:04
to run, which kind of sucks. So I'm talking about running TikTok here
21:07
and I'm like, freg, I miss running, but I definitely can't get
21:11
back into running for at least another two weeks until my leg is one hundred
21:15
percent back to the strength that it needs to be. So that's a little
21:19
personal update on that. But yeah, definitely miss running. I wish I
21:23
could be outside right now and get a good run in, but I know
21:27
I'm two weeks away from gradually getting back into it. Definitely not going to
21:32
force back into it. It's going to be more of a walk and run
21:36
kind of, you know, workout. But it's definitely worth getting back into
21:40
because I enjoy it. But yeah, that's a personal update on my side.
21:45
This is something that I feel like was trending last summer and it's still
21:47
trending this summer. Is pilates. We know everybody loves a pilates princess.
21:52
I always love doing a good pilates class here at home. I'm a big
21:56
Matt pilates girl. I've definitely tried the Reformer, which is the machine that
22:03
you use at actual studios, but we don't really have a very good one
22:07
here in Ottawa. I know, they just recently opened up a new place
22:10
in Westboro called the Playground, which looks really really cool. They have the
22:15
Reformer machines, but they also have pilates mats, So I'm actually trying a
22:18
pilates mat class next week, which I'm really excited about. But the Reformer
22:25
is something I find is like very intimidating. Like I tried a few classes
22:30
here in Ottawa and I love it, but it's definitely difficult. It's not
22:33
something that's very easy. Now I was also using a Mega Reformer, so
22:37
there could be a difference. I know there is a difference in certain reformers
22:41
that you use, so it really depends on what works for you. But
22:45
I was using a Mega Reformer and I did about seven to eight classes and
22:51
I just felt like every time I went to the class, I was really
22:52
struggling. So it's definitely something you need to know that it's going to take
22:57
time to get used to and get a better understanding of how to do the
23:03
right movements on the machine. It's almost like learning a new sport, right,
23:07
like learning golf, learning tennis. Like I'm currently learning golf. I
23:10
suck and I hate sucking at something. I'm that kind of person where like
23:12
I want to be good at something and that's when I enjoy it. If
23:17
I'm not good at something, then I'm I hate to see it, but
23:19
I just want to give up and I'm like, oh, I'm not good
23:22
at it, Like I'm going to go back to what I'm good at.
23:23
So I'm trying to give myself that positive mindset where it's like it's good to
23:29
train new things. It's good to train new hobbies and to stick to it
23:32
and know that if I keep at it, I'm going to get better at
23:36
it. So anyway, so I'm hoping that this new pilates studio might reinspire
23:41
me to get into a reformer pilates class. But they have matt classes,
23:45
which I'm very excited about. And I've just always love pilates. Guys know
23:48
that I love low impact workouts, not really into heavy weighted workouts, so
23:53
I'm forever in my pilates era. I love pilates so much. It's just
23:59
my favorite thing. Also, just going to highlight like these are not even
24:02
trends, like these are, Like I'm talking about workouts right now, this
24:04
is not really a trend and this is something that you know, people have
24:07
been doing for so long. I just think these are things that I feel
24:10
like I've been seeing a lot of people post lately on social media that people
24:14
are getting into. So I just don't want someone to come at me for
24:18
saying, Kaylee, these aren't trends. I know that some of these things
24:21
are not trends, but these are just things that I've been seeing more popular
24:23
demand on when it comes to social media, all that pinterest. So yeah,
24:30
I just want to clarify that. So this is another one, again
24:33
not a trend, but this is something that I've seen a lot of people
24:34
have been doing lately, is the cold water plunge, which is if you
24:38
guys don't know what that is, it's basically a bath full of ice and
24:44
you plunge your body into it for I think it's about three to four minutes,
24:48
three to five minutes, correct me if I'm wrong, but typically go
24:51
in for a decent amount of time. And the benefits to a cold plunge
24:53
is decreasing inflammation, improves sleep, mood, reduces stress all And this is
25:00
something that I've really wanted to get into, even if it's just like finishing
25:03
your warm shower with a cold shower for three minutes, just something to feel
25:08
that cold's, you know, sensation on your body and helping ways to improve
25:15
my mood, reduce my stress all that. Definitely, reducing stress is something
25:18
that I've been working on lately because I feel like I've noticed a lot of
25:23
signs of stress in my daily life. Like one thing that I was expressing
25:27
to my mom was I've noticed that my stutter and my speech has started to
25:30
come back. When I was a kid, I had a really bad stutter
25:33
and I'm like, Mom, I don't know why it's coming back, and
25:36
she's like, typically, like once you're you know habits that you've had when
25:38
you were a kid, like when it's related to speech specifically, is sometimes
25:44
it can come back due to an overwhelming amount of stress. So I'm like,
25:48
I definitely need to improve on my stress levels, and I'm trying to
25:55
get back into meditation. I used to do meditation all last year year for
26:00
like ten minutes in the mornings, just journaling, doing my planning and doing
26:04
meditating, and so I just did my first meditation in a long time this
26:08
week this morning specifically, and it felt really really nice to get back into
26:14
it. I use the app Alo Moves and they have a certain category where
26:19
there's different types of meditation classes that you can do. So I'm really trying
26:23
to keep at that and be consistent at that, I hope every single day,
26:30
if not every second day. But I feel like meditation is something that's
26:33
been going on for a while. That's definitely not something that's popular right now.
26:36
I feel like it's always been a thing, but yeah, that's something
26:38
that I'm personally working on, is reducing my stress. So I definitely would
26:41
love to try cold plunge. I've seen it at a few spots and I'm
26:45
always like, yeah, no, I'm not doing that, Like I literally
26:48
like avoid it completely, but I know I should probably try it and just
26:51
force myself to do it for three minutes. But we're going to start start
26:55
up with meditation first to help reduce my stress and hope that yeah, that
27:00
helps me out. Okay. Last thing is a scalp massager. You guys
27:03
have probably seen it. Everybody's using it to wash their hair or to get
27:07
the hair oils absorbed into your scalp. Apparently it's supposed to help stimulate hair
27:11
growth overall health of your hair all that. I use a scalp massager.
27:15
I don't really use it to prep my hair before a shower. I actually
27:18
use it in the shower for champooing and all that because I have fake nails
27:22
and I always find when I wash my hair sometimes the hair gets stuck under
27:26
the nails and it's so painful. If you guys know, you know,
27:30
so I always use a scalp massager and it also feels really really nice to
27:34
use that in the shower specifically, So I got mine off Amazon I think
27:38
it was like twelve bucks and yeah, it's just yeah, very very nice.
27:42
I find it definitely is good for someone who's trying to improve their hair
27:47
growth. So I know you guys message me a lot about how can I
27:51
grow my hair? All that. I know scalt massagers are great and hair
27:53
oils, so definitely look into that type of treatment if you're looking for really
28:00
good hair growth results. Okay, I didn't really find many like wellness trends
28:06
that are out again because I feel like wellness is not really about a trend.
28:10
It's just about, like, you know, what are people doing more
28:14
of this year basically. So one thing that I noticed that people are definitely
28:18
not doing and should not be doing. This is something I'm really against is
28:23
the DTOC cleanses or t cleanses all that. I have never ever supported a
28:29
brand in any way through those type of things, Like I just don't believe
28:33
in that. I don't want to promote something on my social media that I
28:37
personally think is toxic to the body in my opinion, like when people say,
28:41
oh, yeah, I'm gonna do a juice cleanse and all you do
28:42
is drink juices all day and not eat any food in your body. I
28:47
can't stand that type of stuff, like you need food in your body to
28:49
fuel your body. Like, I don't believe in those juice cleanses at all,
28:53
or those tea cleanses that literally just make you sit on the toilet all
28:57
day and think that you're losing weight by crapping everything out of your body.
29:02
Sorry to say it, but it's a truth. So I don't believe in
29:06
any of that stuff. I really don't think you guys should be falling for
29:07
any promotions of anything like that, if an influencer is promoting it or if
29:11
you see it at you know, in an ad on social media. It's
29:14
just not something that I think is healthy for you at all. And I
29:18
feel like that's something that really went out, you know, out the door
29:22
in terms of a wellness trend, like a few years ago. But I
29:25
just wanted to re emphasize that part because I feel like a lot of people
29:29
still believe in that stuff, like even my mom. I feel like it's
29:32
more of the older generation, not really us. But even my mom was
29:34
like, oh, like she'll see something about a juice cleanse and I'm like,
29:37
mom, please, this is not something that you need to you know,
29:41
even like those vitamins like oh, take this weight loss pill and it's
29:45
going to make you lose weight. Like that stuff does not work. So
29:48
please do not fall for any of those traps. But those are things that
29:52
I just like always want people to understand that it's not worth your money,
29:57
it's not worth your health. It's just not going to work. So avoid
30:02
that it all costs because it's just not It's not healthy for you. It's
30:04
not it's really not. One thing that I saw a lot of people use
30:07
last year that I felt like a lot of people aren't using this year is
30:10
that new face machine where it's a facial massager. It's like that technology.
30:15
It's like four hundred dollars I think, and it's that machine that's supposed to
30:19
like sculpt out your face. And I just don't really see a lot of
30:25
people using that anymore. I personally see a lot of people using their hands
30:29
or like an actual like Guasha or facial roll or they're not really using a
30:33
machine. So that's something and I feel like a lot of people are doing
30:37
more so and less of is spending a lot of money on expensive facial tools
30:42
and all that and just gravitating towards more affordable options that are going to give
30:45
you that same type of look, because I do love the facial massages.
30:51
I use my hands and I find it just drains out any fluids or any
30:56
puffiness on your face if you want to, you know, deep puff your
31:00
face, which is you know, could be water intake just in your face
31:03
that you're trying to like deep puff. I just find using my hands as
31:07
honestly the best. I'm not the best with Aguasha. I also have a
31:11
facial roller that I use that I love, But yeah, I haven't really
31:15
seen anyone use the new face machine, So that's just something I've noticed that
31:18
I feel like a lot of people haven't been using anymore. Okay, so
31:22
let's talk about self care makeup trends I find lately I've noticed a lot of
31:29
people wearing less makeup and seeing it as like the new tip of makeup is
31:34
making it look like you're wearing nothing on your face, but you're actually wearing
31:37
makeup, if that makes sense. So just doing a very natural, glowy
31:41
makeup look, not really doing foundation. I'm all about skin tins and I
31:45
still do contour, I still do blushed, but I just don't really wear
31:48
a foundation, and I find it gives that perfect every day no makeup makeup
31:52
look. I haven't really been gravitating towards putting mascara on. I literally just
31:56
crawled my lashes, and a lot of the stuff that I've learned for like
32:00
my makeup hacks, is all through TikTok. I see these TikTokers, they
32:04
show their natural no makeup makeup look, and this is what they do.
32:07
They just do skin tents. They do, you know, everything that they
32:09
would usually for everyday, like going out bases where it's like, you know,
32:13
bronzing your face, putting the blush on all that. But you know,
32:15
stead of wearing mascara, you're just curling your lashes, and you know,
32:19
instead of wearing lipstick, you're just putting a you know, a lip
32:22
bomb on or a lip gloss on, whatever it is. So that's person
32:25
what I find is really in right now is just less makeup is more and
32:29
just the no makeup makeup look. Okay, this is something I haven't tried
32:31
yet, but I have seen a lot of people do it to give that
32:35
sculpt look on your face, but with makeup is self Tanner I've seen a
32:39
lot of people put self tanner on their contour areas of their face, where
32:43
it's the jawline, the contour areas on your cheekbones, your forehead, all
32:49
that, and you put it on the night before, you sleep with it.
32:52
You wake up the next morning and your self tanner develops in those areas
32:57
and it literally gives that snatch look. So what they do is that they
33:00
take the self tanner and they put it on a makeup rush and you literally
33:04
would contore your face as you would with a bronzer or with a contour stick,
33:07
and then, like I said, you fall asleep, you wake up
33:08
the next morning and it's all blended in perfectly, and it literally looks like
33:12
you have like permanent bronzer on your face in your contour areas, which I
33:15
really want to try, But this is a thing. If you're that kind
33:19
of person wear a skin is sensitive to breaking out from self tanner, that
33:22
could be an issue. So it really depends if you can do self tanner
33:25
on your face. I highly recommend trying that. For me, my concern
33:29
is just because I have very sensitive skin, it might react and I might
33:31
just break out. So I definitely think it's something worth trying if you are
33:36
into self tanning, and yeah, I don't know. I find it gives
33:38
a real good look. I've seen a lot of people do it on TikTok
33:40
and I think it looks so so good. Another makeup hack that I've been
33:44
seeing on TikTok is the Mary Phillips hack, where it's do your foundation after
33:52
putting your contour, your blush, basically everything. So you start with your
33:57
contour, your blush, you do your conceal, you do your setting,
34:00
everything, and then you put your foundation over top of that. I still
34:04
haven't tried that yet. I don't know why I haven't. I think I'm
34:06
just so used to my you know, everyday makeup routine that I just haven't
34:10
really done the opposite of doing the foundation after. So this is definitely something
34:15
I still want to try. But I hear really really good things about and
34:17
obviously, if Mary Phillips is doing it on the biggest celebrities and their makeup
34:22
always looks so good, I obviously need to try it. But let me
34:24
know if you guys have tried it. I'm definitely wanting to try it,
34:27
but I've seen that all over TikTok okay. I've seen this, This has
34:30
been for a while. Heatless curls, everybody using those bands that you put
34:36
in your hair and sleeping with it overnight. I've seen some people even use
34:38
socks to give that heatless curl in the morning. But just the overall like
34:45
blowout look all that, Like nobody's straightening their hair anymore. That is totally
34:49
out, in my opinion. Everybody's doing the blowout, heatless curls, all
34:54
that. So that's definitely something that's been really in lately. Another thing I
34:59
noticed is everybody's wearing lip gloss, just lip gloss, lip liners, all
35:05
that. Nobody's wearing lipstick. I notice this for myself where I'm like,
35:08
when was the last time I actually bought myself an actual lipstick and I put
35:12
it on my lips like never, I'm always gravitating towards a lip liner and
35:15
a lip gloss. That is my go to, my everyday lip combo.
35:19
And I just feel like a lot of brands are really not coming out with
35:22
many lipsticks anymore. That could just be me, but I yeah, I
35:25
feel like lipliners and lip glosses have been the go to for everybody lately.
35:30
Okay, so now let's get in two outs for self care makeup trends.
35:35
All that I talked about lipstick like that, I feel like it's not really
35:38
in anymore. I talked about straighteners. I feel like everyone's doing more of
35:43
the blowout look, not really straightening their hair. One thing that I've seen
35:46
a lot of people do that I feel like is not really in anymore is
35:49
the white eyeliner hack, where you put the white eyeliner in your waterline.
35:53
I have never really done that. I don't know if it's because I have
35:55
brown eyes. I've seen a lot of people who have like blue eyes or
35:59
green eyes that do it. So yeah, that's something that I have been
36:04
not into or just something that I don't really feel like isn't anymore. Another
36:07
thing is super defined eyebrows, when people pencil their eyebrows in. I feel
36:13
like, right now, it's not about how filled in your eyebrows is.
36:15
It's more about the fluffiness. Everybody's doing that fluffy natural brow look and are
36:23
steering more towards like thicker eyebrows verset thinner eyebrows, but definitely not like overdefined
36:30
like I used to define my eyebrows so much and now I feel like I
36:32
literally do nothing to my eyebrows. I just take like a browbrush and I
36:36
just like brush out my eyebrows and that's literally it. I've been trying to
36:38
find ones with like tints in it, just to give it more of a
36:42
you know, emphasized look on my brows, because I do find eyebrows make
36:45
a big difference on your face. But yeah, I definitely find the fluff
36:49
of the eyebrows. The better I find, it looks again more natural,
36:53
and yeah, just something that I find looks really really good. Lastly,
36:57
one thing that I feel like I used to do all the time, Like
37:00
I used to go to Walmart or Shoppers or anything like that, like a
37:04
drug store and buy fake eyelashes and I'd wear them like over top of my
37:09
lashes obviously when I'd be going out and all that. I do not do
37:13
that anymore. I like never got eyelash extensions. I never have. But
37:17
when eyelash extensions just started, I felt like everybody was doing it and I
37:22
was like, oh, I don't want to do that. I'll just get
37:23
fake lashes from Walmart or whatever, and I would just stick them on.
37:27
I personally feel like they're kind of going out. I feel like they're I
37:31
mean, there's some natural ones that you can't get that look actually really really
37:35
good. But I don't know, I just feel like the only time I'd
37:37
ever wear it would be for a special occasion, like maybe my wedding or
37:40
my engagement party. Like I see people who wear it going out all the
37:44
time or like even like every day, and I don't know, it's just
37:45
like that's not something for me. Like I've seen a few of my friends
37:51
who do the natural ones and they look so so good and it sometimes makes
37:53
me want to go buy them, to be honest, But I've just noticed
37:57
I feel like a lot of people used to gravitate towards that. I feel
38:00
like now everybody's just going with their natural lash length and are making their makeup
38:04
work with that natural lash. So that's just something I noticed that I feel
38:07
like a lot less people are doing still something that I think is popular,
38:12
just not as popular as I used to be. So that's everything that I
38:15
can think of when it comes to things that are in and things that are
38:19
out, I feel like these again are some of these things have always been
38:22
in. It's just what is really popular right now versus what isn't. But
38:28
I hope this helps you guys establish things that you might need this summer,
38:30
things that you might want to start trying, things that you might try to
38:34
avoid doing for twenty twenty three. It definitely gave me some inspo for trying
38:38
new wellness things as well as just opening up my eyes when it comes to
38:43
a more different type of fashion sense, but still sticking to my true style.
38:46
But I hope you guys like this episode. I feel like it was
38:49
kind of different than the typical ones I do, but I'm trying to change
38:52
it up here and try different types of episodes. But since we're going into
38:55
summer this week, I thought it'd be fun just to kind of highlight things
38:59
that I think you're going to be trending this summer of twenty twenty three.
