• 3:01
  Speaker 1: naturally we're locked in for autumn. We sure baby or
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: fall fall. For any Northern Hemisphere listeners, fall they get
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the best autumn they do. I wish like the Southern
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Hemisphere locked into autumn a little bit more.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I feel like you need to go to certain parts
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: of the Southern Hemisphere to get that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Like Canberra, I feel like really gives a good yes, beautiful.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Give a good autumn.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Hobart, Yeah, I could see that, definitely, Hunter Valley, Beautiful
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: New Zealand as well, incredible yees.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But before we get into it, so I need to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: know what's your obsession of the week.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I hate the song ha do we do the song?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Okay, these are sessions down, just put like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a jingle behind it to help.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we should make like a sting. Yeah, oh yeah.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I know. I was going to make fun of you
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for it, but then I was like, now, like she
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was going to make fun of herself.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Just knocked it up and you hit it out of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a part for yourself. My obsession of the week is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that the celebrities are wearing wigs.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you wear wigs? When will you wear wigs?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: The Cut published an article this week with the headline, actually,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: that's a week, And I think a lot of us
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: know that celebrities wear wigs, Like when we think about it,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: we're probably reminded of Kylie Jenner, Lady Gaga. Beyonce has
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: sported some beautiful weeks throughout her career.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Kim K Yeah, Kim K definitely. But apparently a lot
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of celebrities are wearing wigs that we may not think
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: are weeks.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And have you noticed that speculation.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Around is it a wig? He has really popped off
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: over the last year.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I've seen this with the actress who was in I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Love La Yes, so Odessa asi On So she was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in Marty Sopre with Timothy Chalomey. So she was doing
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: like a lot of press and stuff for that, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: she has these amazing curls, and so a lot of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: people have been speculating that's a wig. And apparently one
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of them was a wig, and it was the hair
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that she was sporting at the La Premiere. But that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was actually more of an.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Old Hollywood style curl rather than like the tight coils that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: She usually wears. But I thought that was really interesting.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter sometimes well, there's also speculation that Sabrina Carpenter does,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: especially on her tours, and she sort of coyly responded
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: when she's been asked about it, being like, I don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: know what a wig is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I've never seen a.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Wig like kind of vibe And even another Harry Styles
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: mentioned even in the Royal Court episode, he makes a
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: joke about his hairline.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I've seen this one, yeah, which.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Is wig adjacent, because you know, there's been speculation that
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: he's had a hair raison.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Was not a home that I thought would be coming
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: up on the podcast today, But.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Into it, you know how I be? I'm into it. Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: But also apparently like Nicole Kidman, was wearing a wig
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to the met Gala, I think last year or the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: year before, and she was sporting like a pixie cut.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: And Emma Stone as well has also been talking about
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: how she wears wigs right, And I thought it was
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: so interesting because a lot of us probably take celebrity
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: photos to the salon as our hairs or when we're
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: getting a hairstyled, and it's like, Mama.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That's a week. That's a week. That's a wig.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, But like, can't we also think that with basically anything,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: celebrities do the comparison trap of someone with.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: A million dollars. Yeah, they're hot, but they're also rich. Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: great reminder. It's always a good yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And it was funny because when Odessa was.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: As we are we about to get weird about shit
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: like that, they'd been like, I like.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It to be transparent if you were wearing a wig,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: In this article they were interviewing like hairstyle, celebrity hairstyles
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and stuff about it as well. I think a lot
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of it comes from the fact that, you know, celebrities, actors,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: people in the arts are on camera so often that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: putting heat on their hair is so bad for their hair,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: especially if they're constantly bleaching it or whatever, like the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: public eye.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a normal thing that people go
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to wigs.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: In that article, they also quoted Beyonce, who had spoken
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: about it in the past, and she was like, there's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a misconception that people who wear wigs have like unhealthy
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: hair underneath. And she was like, but that's not the case.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: The whole reason we wear them is so that we
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: can actual hair.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I just thought it was really interesting.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, My obsession of the week, yep, my obsession is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the feud between Mecha Sephora and MCO Beauty Juicy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a messy bit she lives first some drama.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So only when it's not in my life and it's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: with corporations, all celebrities from the two thousands. Okay, so
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the Meccha, Sephora and mc beauty feud explained. I'm about
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to tell you something though that you don't know about.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Oh fuck, I know something you don't know none.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Late last year, rumors were swirling that Hourglass Cosmetics, which
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is like a viral brand, was leaving Mecca for Sephora,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and it had been stocked at Mecca for sixteen years.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Samn Our Glass had been at Mecca since twenty ten,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: so they'd been with Mecha for a really long time,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: so for them to move to Sephora was escandalor big deal.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Right fast forward to this year, both Meccha and Sephora
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: have had two really huge launchers. Mecha who officially started
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: stocking Road Beauty, which is founded by Hailey Bieber in February.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: On the twelfth of February they officially started stocking, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: then Sephora this week, on the twenty sixth of February,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: launched our Glass in store and on as the official stockist.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Here's where the messy bitch behavior comes into it. Mecca
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: decided to restock the sold out limited edition Puff Beauty
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: bag on the day of the Sephora Hourglass launch.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So there's also rumor swelling that they actually pushed this
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: restock date back to be on the same day as
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a Sephorah Hourglass launch, so that both the brands had
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: really big launches on the same day.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Like that, that's a rumor that they pushed it to
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: be the same day.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Here's where the MC beauty taps into the equation.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, MC beauty decided to launch a copy of the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Road Beauty Bag. And this bag is like.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: A puff sleeve laptop clutch thing which retails for eighty
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: three dollars, which which.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, unsubscribed.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: But MC beauty sent out an EGM with a essentially
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a pink copy of this baby blue Road Bag, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: they also launched a copy of the Glazing Milk with
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: an influencer campaign on the day of the road launch.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So everyone's here going, oh, well, if you're doing that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: on that day, then I'm going to do it on
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that day too.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: But here's where it gets crazy.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So there was an it was a TikTok comment that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I saw and I went, no fucking way, MC beauty
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: keeps launching.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Road dupes or copies.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: But MCO Beauty did a collab with Hailey Biber in
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no way, Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: MC beauty did a collection with Haley Biber or Baldwin
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen, and it was literally called Hailey
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Baldwin for Model co Whoa, And it consisted of twenty
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: one products, which was highlight, mascars, bronzes, eyeliners, eyebrow.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Kits lip products.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: There's photos of the former CEO of m CO formerly
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Model Co, and Haley together.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I'm really surprised that more people don't bring that up,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: even just in conversation around Road and Hailey Baber's like
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: beauty Empire.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I agree. Yeah.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: So my question is, like the beauty world is just
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: very messy at the moment. Is it just business or
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: is it getting petty? Yeah?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: And also like as a consumer, I'm bored, Like, yes,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I'm titillated.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Oh you love that word for.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: The drama and the tea, But as a consumer, I'm like,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want a ripoff of the roadbag.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I want you to make your own, like its make
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: something you need.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's so boring, but I just all of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it in terms of like the red string on a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: whiteboard of like m CO launching the Edition bag. We're
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: relaunching the limited edition bag on the same day as.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: The four Hour Glass launch.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: M CO releasing copies of the Glazy Milk on the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: day of the road launch.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I want to know?
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Who's the girl gayl They doing the insider trading, spilling
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: the tea to the others being like.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Say, guess what, we're launching this on this day, because
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I'm like, how did m CO know that Mecha was
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: launching the sold out bags on that data?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe they just locked it in and they were like
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: whenever it goes like, they're like they had it ready.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: They were like, had their finger over the red button.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Likes the button. Yeah, I don't know. That is what
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I take a cake of feelings and everyone can just
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: get along. Yeah, That's what I'm like. Is it just business?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Is it like well yeah? Is it messy and petty?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Well, when it just like continuously happens, I'm like, it
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: feels gross.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I think they influencer campaign on the day of the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: road launch was a rogue choice.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, okay, doesn't have anything to do with
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: me exactly, And at the end of the day, people
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: can make their own decisions of what they want to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: buy and where they want to buy, because I completely
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: understand the fact that eighty three dollars for a puff
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: sleeve laptop case essentially is a steep, steep price totally,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: but you're paying for the logo. Yeah, oh yeah, that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: MC beauty did a club with Hailey Bowlings.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I really want to.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I want to go back and look at the pic.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: So just because I'm sure they're Peak twenty sixteen.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: They're amazing, They're ten out of ten. Let's get into
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the episode, all right, launch it. Okay.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So the first piece of agenda on our autumn Hot
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Chick checklist is the March Theory.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. Do you know what this is?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: No? And I purposely didn't look it up because I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: wanted to be titillated.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Oh did I use it in the right context? You did? Okay,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you did.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: So you're not alone because we polled our audience to
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: see if they believe in the March theory.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Both even knew what it was.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and ninety seven percent of the chicks didn't know
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: what it was, which I thought was really interesting because
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the March theory went completely viral on TikTok last year.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: So it is kind of old news in the industry world.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Show how everything we watch online were like hap right?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Literally okay literally, and only two percent of the chicks
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: knew what the March theory was.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So WHOA, yeah, I know. Crazy. So I'll give you
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a little TLDR.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: So the March theory labels a month as a time
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to either leave unfulfilling relationships or start new ones.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: It's a breakup theory exactly. Yeah.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so essentially it labels March as a time for
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: new beginnings or farewells. Yeah, which I thought was really
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: really interesting because we know that December eleventh is breakup day, Yeah,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the most popular day for breakups of the whole year.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: But according to relationship and dating coach Angelika Kosh, many
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: unhappy couples delay their breakups until after Valentine's Day. Oh
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, so when you think about it,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: because December eleventh was, you know, like three months ago now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: But the eleventh of December.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: People break up on the eleventh of December is because
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: they don't want to do Christmas with the significant other.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Because people don't want to be alone on Valentine's Day.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It's more romance or maybe that's when it all goes yeah, true,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Like you have like what you didn't get me a gift?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I WoT you this and.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You go and I can buy myself flowers, I can
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: hold my own hair exactly, talking to myself to hours
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: say things you don't understand. I need Spotify to release
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: data of like the songs that are played on Valentine's Day.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, like the difference between.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Like the breakup literally and then like let's get it old. Yeah,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was interesting. But also, just like
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of these viral TikTok theories, I will say
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that it is also quite Northern Hemisphere centric.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because March in.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: The Southern Hemisphere signals going into autumn and the cooler months,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: whereas in the Northern Hemisphere its signals going into spring
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and the summer months, aka the end of cuffing season.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: So I think a lot of people also season.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the end of cuffing season because a lot
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of people will leave relationships as you go into the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: summer months because you're like more free, you don't need
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to stay inside and be cuddled, Like, there's more social
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: engagements and activities. So I do think that there are
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: some holes in this theory, just like all theories that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: are on the internet and that go viral on TikTok,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But I do think that there are some points of
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: merit to it as well that I think we can
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: apply to our Hot Chick Autumn checklist. So in Australia,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: March is the second most popular season to move house.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Love that. Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: May is also one of the best times to apply
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: for a new job because of increased job listings and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: lower competition. But I also think that January and February
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: aren't real months.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, what you do in January and February
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: does not count, right.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I can't be held accountable for anything I do in
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: January of February.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Fact, your best friend's brother in January. February, you didn't.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: We can't robbed a bank, No you didn't. It's February.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Spent all my money on the road collection January and February.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: That was February May.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I don't know what your boss a bitch and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: accidentally send it to our own slack January and February, Right,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I think that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: The year truly begins in March, fully seventy ten. It's
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: because when you get to March, you can write the date.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say that, you are so right,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: You're so right. You're so sad over that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and every new season is an excuse to have
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: a fresh start.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: We said, rebrand and rebrand and reset, because why the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: fuck not, Why the fuck not?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So's every week and so is every month and every
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: month and a Sunday.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: And it's raining and it's cold and you get to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: pull out your like cool coats. Yeah, and I just
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: want to wear a blazer and jeans. Right, That's all
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: a girl once.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Literally, And I do think that autumn is one of
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the most underrated seasons of the American I concur and
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the chicks feel the same because we also asked that
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: question and seventy seven percent of people think that autumn
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: is an underrated season.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Autumn is the best right for me.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I believe it goes spring, autumn, summer, winter. Oh okay, yeah,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: that's my ranking. I know yours is probably winter, autumn, spread, summer. Yeah, yeah, okay,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: our next order of business on the autumn checklist. Autumn
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: is the season of embracing rituals. Now, have you seen
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: how rituals has kind of become a little bit of
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a buzzword at the moment?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, give me some examples.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I've just seen a lot of people, you know, talking
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: about their daily rituals, embracing rituals.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: And maybe that's also a little.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Bit to do with the fact that it's getting a
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: little bit cozy. We're getting a little bit witchy.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, I've seen a lot around
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: whimsical rituals.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Exactly exactly and like aligning more to I think it's
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: more about rituals rather than routine. Yeah, so I think
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: autumn is more about like soft discipline rather than hardcore motivation.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yeah, interview I like that. Yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you like that? You like that? Right, Yeah, you're like that,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you like that? Huh huh.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: So I actually found a psychological stuff that talks about
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the power of embracing rituals and like the difference between
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: rituals and routine because essentially, what I'm trying to say
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: with this is like, these are not rules. These are
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: not things you have to do, but they're things that
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you do because it fulfills you and it doesn't actually
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: focus on changing what's happening around you, which at the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: moment I think is really important because shit be crazy. Yeah. So,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: a twenty seventeen review called The Psychology of Rituals argues
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: that rituals may not change the external world.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: But they powerfully regulate our internal one, which I'm like,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: sign me up on the wait list. Let's rock and roll.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: So the researchers define rituals as structured, repetitive, rule bound
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: actions that are symbolic and not directly instrumental. In other words,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: they're meaningful and oftenly casually opaque.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'm into that right, Yeah damn.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So think like pregame routines, ceremonies, and even the very
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: specific way you make your morning coffee before a big day.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Their framework suggests that rituals serve three major psychological functions.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: So number one is that they regulate emotion.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Rituals are especially likely to emerge during anxiety, uncertainty, or stress,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and studies show that people who turn to ritualistic behavior
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: when they feel a loss of control and performing rituals
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: can measurably reduce anxiety, grief, and psychological arousal.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Which I really hated that word being. Yeah, it's giving titillated.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: It's giving titillated, but not in a good way. Untitled, untitled,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I am unt tittled, I'm untitled, you've untitled me? Not
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: long at titles undone my titles anyway. Continue.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: So, the repetitive, structured actions focus attention and create a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: sense of order, which is labeled as meaningful, and the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: effect strengthens so it allows you to kind of focus
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: on the things that you can control and that means
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: something to you.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Which I think is nice because it does give that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: different outlook rather than like the fucking seventy five hard
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: right total that it's like looking at rituals is like
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: something that you create that a personal to you.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: What's your daily ritual.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Rather than like, here's the seven rules that you have
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to follow each day, including seven hundred leaders of water
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and a billion steps and don't even look at a
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: chocolate bar because then.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: That makes you bad person, you know, devil. Now.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Number two in this study is that they regulate performance goals.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: So rituals don't just calm you, they prime you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: So pre performance rituals can improve focus, self control, and confidence.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Completing a ritual successfully signals competence to yourself, increasing self
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: efficiency and before the real task begins. So if you're
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: doing something you know work wise, or you're trying something new,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: having a ritual before or something that you know maybe
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: you're not super confident in, or maybe you're a little
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: bit more nervous about, like if you're going to a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: birthday party and you don't really know that many people
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: having some sort of ritual within that can actually prepare
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you better and make you more excited and calmer and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: confident within it and feel more like yourself to one
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: thousand percent, I feel like it's a very grounding experience.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: And then number three is that they regulate social connection,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: so collective rituals, which.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I was like, yes, giving witchcraft.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So the study examples listed things like, you know, protests,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: religious ceremonies, and even team chance yeah yeah, which like
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: bring back you know the sports house you were in
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: at the swimming carnival. Yeah, blue, If I was green,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was blue, a ritual that was a chance? Yeah.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Blue was always at the top of my ladder at
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: my high school and both my private schools.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: No, it went red, blue, green, yellow. Obviously it's different.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: You don't say unfortunately, that's the rule.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I do believe the internet will agree. Yeah, which yellow
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: in notoriously sucked.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Green was there for the vibes, and then blue and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: red always had rivalry.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: That says more than any personality test. What color house
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: were you in for school sport? And if you were
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: in yellow, how are you doing?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So collective rituals can increase bonding, cooperation and trust
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: with shared attention and synchronized movement creating emotional alignment, while
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: participation signals loyalty and group identity. So you can even
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: look at things like this, like doing a Taco Tuesday
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: with your besties, or I don't know if you did this,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: but when like Game of Thrones really got to its
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: crux and every Monday you would like have Game of
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Thrones watching parties, or recently, how the geelies would do
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the summer I turned pretty watching parties. Like those are
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: things and examples of rituals that you can embrace collectively
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: with people that help to just enhance and create magic
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: in the season of autumn or any season.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so true, but I think especially in autumn as
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: we go into the cooler months, because a lot of
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: people do experience seasonal depression and like just low moods
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: as we go into the cooler seasons because there is
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: just less socializing.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: And less light and all of those things.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's like, make a conscious effort to embrace
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: those rituals or enforce them if you don't have any already,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: and see how that can make a huge difference in
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: your day to day.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love them.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: So the key insight of this study was that rituals
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: work through a blend of bottom up processes.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I tried not to make a joke.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Then this is like repetition, movement and attention capture, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: then also top down processes like meaning, symbolism, identity signaling.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: So when those.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Combine rituals become powerful regular for emotion, motivation, and belonging,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: they may not change reality, but they reliably change how
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: we experience it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And that has me. I'm like, what are my rituals
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: for autumn?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like my morning coffee is absolutely a ritual, very
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: boring example, but like I get up, I say good
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: morning to the cats, and I go and I press
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: that little button and goes same and.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I do do that, and then I like go to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the bathroom and like do my skin care and stuff
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: while that's like working.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I do in the bathroom in the morning, and.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Then come back, add the ice and then take it
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: down and then do my makeup. Yep.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Experience.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: So we asked you chicks on Instagram, what are you
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: shedding this autumn?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Because obviously the leaves.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Are falling, we're shedding our skin all that fun sexy stuff.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Someone said, feeling sorry for myself, going to fall in
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: love with my life again. I feel like that relates
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: really nicely to the rituals.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, I love this shedding the what if mentality in
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a negative way instead what if in a positive way? Ah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I love that what if it all works out? Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Someone said summer fling roster. I keep them. It's funny,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: it's giving the March theory. It's giving March theory.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are shedding their shitty ass job
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that can fuck right off.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Love that for her unrealistic New Years resolutions, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that's statistically accurate.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Most people eighty eight percent of people or something like
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that don't still do their news resolutions by the end
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of February.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: My dislike of autumn, time to embrace the cooler weather.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Love that.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: And then another cheek has said, clean girl, minimal makeup,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: go bold with a red or mulve lip or.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: A soft smoky eye.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I do think that more dramatic and fun makeup looks
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: are definitely coming back around, which we love to see.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: A lot of people also said like clutter. And then finally,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and probably on the best note feelings for my ex okay,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And then to wrap up the episodes, shall we get
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: into our quick fire of fashion and beauty trends for autumn? Now,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: as always, these are just trends. You don't have to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: subscribe to all of them. If they align with what
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you like, then it stuning, amazing, brave. If they're not
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: for you, then put it in the recycling bin and
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: keep on going.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I think that autumn fashion is easily one of the
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: best fashion.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Periods, don't you agree? One thousand percent?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: And a big part of it it's not too cold
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and it's not too hot.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: And all you need is a light jacket, so true.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: What is that April twenty third actually applies to autumn
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: as well, which I love, okay.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: But one of the first trends I want to tap
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: into is pairing bright colors with our autumn favorites.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: So a lot of people do think of autumn and
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: winter fashion and think of deeper, maybe more neutral tones,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and then would reserve fun colors for spring and summer, right,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: But we are saying a trend around matching some of
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: those more fun bright colors with some of those autumn staples,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: which I think is really cool.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: So examples are teal, which works really well with.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Earthy tones that are typically favored in autumn, like khaki
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: or camel or cream. Apparently Teal is the forecasting company
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: WGSN's twenty twenty six Color of.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: The Year twenty sixteen is so bare transformative teal.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It's been cold. Wow.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Another trend in color is brown and dark brown. So
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: data also shows that both of these shades of brown
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: will have the most significant growth of any color in
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Not shocked at all, Like even within home, I think
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: this has become such a booming trend. We've seen the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: blue and brown colour combo, especially with embedding really taking off.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: And I got brown sheets, and can I just say
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: brown sheets are the best fake tan hack you will
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: ever get in your entire fucking life, because as someone
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: who sleeps in their tan and has previously had like
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: you know, buddy yellow cream maybe baby pink, I fake tanned.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: And I got into that bed and I thought, what
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: are you, in a fact, can do about it?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: What do you just say about it? It's the best
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: you don't have.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: To do, Like, oh, I'll wear these trackis in these socks,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: so that I don't get tan on my sheets, and
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: sure maybe I'm a grubby girl for that, but I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: don't care. I've had the tan on for like i'ms
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: not like getting in there stopping sticky wet. Yeah, but
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: it's the best thing if you sleep in your tan
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: brown sheets.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Life hack, life hack of the century.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: And also another training aesthetic that we're gonna see in
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: fashion in autumn and winter is poet core.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I love this.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've already subscribed and I don't know what it
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: is right, So, according to Pinterest, poet core is up
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: seventy five percent. So I think oversized turtlenecks, blazers, messenger bags,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: tires and tie accessories. My brain went like ye olden
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: day poet oh, like Shakespell Yeah, like a like a
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: rolling show.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Why not a feather in the hair? Love that?
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: But have you noticed that lots of people have been
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: wearing because tires were a huge accessory last year, but
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of people this year have been accessorizing the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: ties with like brooches and pins. Brooches are also going
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: to be big dog trind Yeah, and I do think
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that a broach gives autom energy. Bro Oh, absolutely, And
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: when you go into a Vinnie's or a Salvos that
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: is an absolute gold mine for beautiful brooches, doing like
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a lovely like flea market, yeah, which autom energy. Yes,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a crispy autumn morning at a flea market it or
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: like a vintage market.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: That is my flow state. That that is my flow state.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: You have to go with someone who can enter the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: flow state.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can't. When you're a Vinage.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Shopping with someone and they start doing the hover behind
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you and you're like, oh my.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Cue in the chair and watch me. Okay, I was
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: going to say the boyfriend chair, the same thing. True.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: So an Autumn beauty is going to have a focus
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: on effortless aka lazy Beauty's me out per It's also
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: known as like undone beauty.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: And I do think this.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Is potentially going to have that flow on effect from
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the previous conversation we had in last week's episode that
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: was like.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: This anti AI and anti perfection.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Trend that we're seeing that as a result to kind
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: of step back from the perfection that is AI generated
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: content and all of that stuff that we're seeing like
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: mess and like less perfect in everything in the sense
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: of the word, whether it's fashion, whether it's beauty whatever,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: that is. So Narsha Penrose from l says that some
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of the key moments from the full Sush Winter twenty
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: twenty six New York Fashion Week runways were shaped by
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: undone beauty. So lazy is in there's no need to
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: hit snooze five times to perfect your blowout or rush
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: through a full face of makeup to look impossibly polished
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: in fall and winter. If the runways proved anything, is
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: that looking like a working, tired human isn't something to hide.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Thank fuck, Oh my god, we're ahead of the trend.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shit, trendshadters.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is the trend that's set to define
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the year. And when they scanned the shows for Makeup
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: here and now moments destined for mood boards. Designers seem
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: to pull inspiration from somewhere more intimate, like the bedroom
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: smudgy just smooched lips appeared at Boy London and Alter's,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: signaling a shift away from the hyper controlled, minimalist aesthetic
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: that dominated past seasons. So again, it's like that thing
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: of it's not perfect, it's undone beauty.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: It looks lived in, it looks exactly.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And then last, but not least, I wanted to get
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: into something that our producer was telling us about before
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the episode, and I was like, write that down, write
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: that down.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: That's good shit.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: In these episodes, we often share like something to watch
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: or something to read, but this was something a little
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: bit different that I was like subscribed And it's basically
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the Good Read's achievements. So every three months or every season,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Goodreads set a new seasonal challenge and it comes with
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: twelve bookmarks that you can collect as you read books
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: throughout the season.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so into the the dover main hit of
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: the bookmark.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Or it solves that problem as well of being like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: well what do I read? Yeah, Like, I get so
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: many dms and so many questions from chicks being like
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to read.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to reading slump.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I've got a book hangover all of those very very
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: legitimate book problems, you know.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Typically, the first three book.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Marks are based on how many books you read. For example,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: you get one for reading two books during the season,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: and then three books, then five after that. Each bookmark
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: has a particular theme ooh, I know, and you can
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: pick from a list of eligible books, and then once
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: you finish that book, you unlock that achievement.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Oh fun love so much so.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Some of the achievements of the previous challenge, which ends
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: on March thirty first, include Choice Archive, where you need
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to read a previous Goodread's Choice.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Nominee or winner. Oh okay, so.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Some examples of those is like the Midnight Library, A

• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Star selections, where you need to read a book that's
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: been featured in a celebrity book club.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Oh fun.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: So some examples is A Great, Big, Beautiful Life by
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Emily Henry, The Handmaid's Tale, which also featured in Jule
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Leaper's Book Club. Another example was tail Spinners, where you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: need to read a retelling of a popular story, where
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the example is The Song of Achilles.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Oh coo, you love that one. So if you want
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: to read more books in autumn, this is like the
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: perfect hack to do that. I'm subscribed to lock me
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: in and low effort too.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: It also is good to help you maybe expand out
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: of some categories and niches that you maybe have felt
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit stuck or bored with I very much
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: love reading romancey books and that's like my bread and butter.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: But I definitely felt towards the end of last year
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: that I was getting a little bit sick of like
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the sassy herawin in leather pants with the dagger strap
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to her thigh.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, we get it.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: There's a seven foot tall, dark, brooding man, which I'm
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: going to eat that up.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: But I'm also a little bit bored. We need some
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: palate cleanses exactly.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: So I feel like that's a good way to get
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: out of a reading slump, to fix a book hangover,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: and also just take the brain work out of reading.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And it's fun, you know what. Create a ritual out
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: of it and do it with a friend Andy have
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: like a clop club cute. I just ended a flow state.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah wow, wow, I'm book horny.
• 37:20
