[00:00:16] Speaker B: 23.
[00:00:17] Speaker A: We're recording a little bit later in the day.
[00:00:19] Speaker B: We are. This is a change. Yeah. We're going to change up the schedule a little bit. So it won't be morning now. We'll have like, we'll see if we can push through the afternoon slump.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: Slump. Yeah.
[00:00:29] Speaker B: I don't feel as bright eyed and bushy tailed, you know, might in the morning. No, but I told you today I was like, I'm in a bad mood.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: Yeah, you did say that.
[00:00:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:00:37] Speaker A: You're raging.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: I was a little. I was kind of felt like I was raging a little bit and I don't even have a good excuse why. I just am like, get out of my way.
[00:00:45] Speaker A: One of those days.
[00:00:47] Speaker B: Yeah, just one of those days.
[00:00:49] Speaker A: Well, speaking of that, I had a. My weekend was.
I don't know, it's just.
But I also think we just. I go all the time. I think you do too. You have kids. I don't have kids. That makes me go all the time. And I feel like I'm just constantly on the move.
[00:01:03] Speaker B: Mm.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: Went to see my dad two days in a row to help him. He's not injured his knee and. Long story, but on Sunday I literally just shut down. I didn't. I couldn't function. Could not function. I could not barely get up.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: I kind of shut down.
[00:01:22] Speaker A: Tells you it's in time, it's enough. And boy, I felt it on Sunday. I was. I didn't.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: And then you feel a little guilty.
[00:01:28] Speaker A: You do.
[00:01:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: Well, then I felt like. Then you start worrying about your own mental health at that point because it just. I couldn't function. I just. I was done.
[00:01:37] Speaker B: Yeah. I think I have to go way far away. Like where I know there's no responsibility for me to actually not feel guilty.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: Right.
[00:01:45] Speaker B: Then I get in my own head and I'm like, okay, all this. I get that. What is that analysis? Paralysis. And then I can't get anything done because I'm like, don't know where to start.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. So.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: Or someone's going to just make me mad and then I can't do it. So.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: Can't wrap your head around it. Yeah. I don't know. It was weird. It's. It's hard. The worry, I think stress and worry, obviously I have. Through losing my mom and dealing with grief for the first time at that level, I think I've really stopped and really realized how much one, stress affects your body.
Cortisone, as women affects your body, which then affects your sleep, which then makes you gain belly weight. Like, it's all such a. And I think about all the years where we as women, you know, people ridiculed you that you're just, yeah, sure, you're eating healthy, but I. Boy, it's also especially working with Karen and listening to her and all the wellness stuff. It is such a big factor in our lives and how much stress affects our lives and affects your body, affects your sleep. And, I mean, I'm sleeping better. And, you know, Karen's always saying to me when I show her my sleep score, because she's involved in all that, trying to help me sleep better. She goes, lisa, it's going to change your health once you start getting sleep, because you. You don't get sleep, and the cortisol level goes up, and then the cortisol level goes up, and then you can't sleep.
And it's just crazy how it truly affects your body. And I'm really seeing that since I've been putting a big effort to fix all that.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: Well, and I woke up the other night, and I wasn't sleeping on that new pillow because I wasn't where that pillow was. But I had woke up with.
First of all, right before I went to bed, I'd heard a really bad, like, ringing in my ear, which I don't normally have a ringing in my ear, but it came on, like, it was really weird.
And so I'm like, well, okay, whatever that is. So eventually it went away. I don't recall when it went away, but it went away. Well, then in the middle of the night, I woke up with the worst stabbing, and I mean, stabbing in my right ear, but I was also clamping my jaws really bad.
But I felt also in my left arm. It was like from my shoulder all the way down to my fingers, that whole numbing and sharp pain. I've also know that's, you know, sometimes I can have a pinched nerve or something like that.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: But.
[00:04:06] Speaker B: And of course I was like, oh, Lord, am I having a heart attack? Like, what? Okay, I had really kind of think through the process. I'm like, what is happening to me? But it was, I think, but the way I was clamping my jaws, I was like, this is stress. Something is really stressing me out, and that's why this is happening. So I think I was just sleeping wrong Pinched myself, my clamping my jaws. I think it was a combination.
[00:04:32] Speaker A: So of all of it makes a big difference.
[00:04:34] Speaker B: This thing happens. I mean, I guess you all know I gave you all a warning.
[00:04:38] Speaker A: No. Well, no. She had symptoms that she ignored.
[00:04:41] Speaker B: I ignored my symptoms.
[00:04:43] Speaker A: But. Well, it's funny, when you're younger, we don't pay attention to those little things. And you just go through life and you think you're invincible and everything's going to be fine. And then now is at our. I think the age we're at now, we start noticing that those things actually make a big difference.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: Well, I actually thought I'd have a spider bite me on my thumb, too, because I was like, what the crap? Because it so, like, sharp pain on my thumb. I was like, what in the world? I can see where I have, like a little hangnail. It was like everything was just exaggerated. Yeah, everything was exaggerated. There you go.
[00:05:09] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:10] Speaker B: But here I am. We're good.
I'm just mad today, that's all.
[00:05:17] Speaker A: We're good. Well, I was going to touch on that too, with watching my dad. And you know, we talk about, like, orphanages and dogs that don't have someone caring for them.
That affects their body, it affects their demeanor, it affects their health. And I'm watching my dad as someone that's now by himself all day. The aging that has happened to his body since my mom passed away. And it's loneliness and it's depression and it's sadness. And I've never thought about how that plays a role in a human body.
And I'm watching it happen in front of me, and it's the hardest thing to watch. And there's nothing you can do about it unless you move him out, which he's not going to do.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: They don't want to. That's the sad part.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:01] Speaker B: But you see even, like, you know, the. The adoption shelters and they have in cities where you can go adopt the dog for the day and just walk them. And you see the demeanor of that dog and just. It's so good for them to get out. I do know, like, for my mom, she was very active. When my dad passed away, she just. She was really kind of shocking. Like, she got involved in that Senior stars. And my mom was very young, looking for her age. She. You kind of a fine line for her, but it kept her active. That's where she was involved in yoga and just different things. And that was one thing. Like, she never sat back. We laughed because we're like, her schedule is busier. Than ours. Whether she was doing stuff at church or still volunteering at the nursing home, she made a point to get out there. And I do. I have friends who say the same thing about, you know, some of their family members who are going through the same thing. But they also haven't made a point to really go out there and diversify their activities to see what's out there. And I think it's so important.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: Yeah, my dad has just got enough dealing with enough health issues that he's not able to do that. And I think that's the hardest part for him because he. He and I both have brainstormed on things that he can do and he thinks about it all the time and he's sitting there, but physically he's got enough going on that it's just not at the point right now that he could do that. I'm hoping that we can get past a couple of hurdles that he's going through now and get him active again out. Because he was so active when my mom was alive, taking care of her. And I think some of that probably he ignored a lot of these symptoms because he had to with adrenaline and just had to keep going to keep her. Now they're up front and now that's all there is. And I think he has slowed down so much because he's not caring for her, which is then causing his muscles to get weaker. And so it's kind of a snowball effect. And I've been back to the doctor. Well, he's been twice, but not as of late. But I think when he went to the doctor to get a CT scan, I think he got Covid because he has no taste and he can't. It's not coming back. And he went through a couple weeks of just being really weak and I swear he had Covid.
[00:08:10] Speaker B: So he's sneak a nicotine patch on him.
[00:08:13] Speaker A: I love to. I've tried to get him to let me do peptides and he just won't let me. In fact, Karen said you should just sneak one when he's not watching because he won't feel it. Like, can you watch me chasing my dad with a syringe? But anyway, I just really. It's so funny how as we get older we start realizing how much impacts us that we don't ever think about when we're young and stupid.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: What's something with Amazon purchases that you've made lately that has changed your life?
[00:08:42] Speaker A: You and I have talked about this, of what our Amazon saved list looks like, and it's Ridiculous. Mine is ridiculous.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: My list, my private list are ridiculous. Like, I mean, it's multiple. I mean.
[00:08:54] Speaker A: And I, for many, many years didn't order a thing off Amazon. I didn't like, thought it was the dumbest place to order. I didn't care about it. And then I started. And now you. It's so easy and it's so quick. But I. My recent thing that I loved is that when I did my event last month, I picked out my invitation design and then just went on Amazon as a fluke to see what I could find to kind of tie into it. And they had the exact thing, everything you needed, Everything. Paper plates and napkins and invitations and thank you cards and gift bags and gift boxes. They all matched. And so it just. It's so funny and how easy it is. And they've got, you know, obviously so easy. Yeah. So I would say that's been the most impactful thing lately because it's obviously set the whole it did vibe of the. The party.
[00:09:46] Speaker B: It did, yeah.
[00:09:47] Speaker A: And so inexpensively. That's the other piece of it.
[00:09:51] Speaker B: Well, it saves you the trip and the hassle of even having to go.
[00:09:54] Speaker A: Where would you go find it locally? There's no place to even go to.
[00:09:57] Speaker B: Home Depot yesterday, looking for literally wire that I could buy by the yard or by the foot or whatever that they have on spools. I was like, do you have the. This wire I can get Typical typewriter. And I was like, yeah, we should. And he was like, oh, well, we don't have it. Oh, I can't believe we don't have it. And I was looking at it on Amazon right there. But I was like, I'll go see if I can go get it at Home Depot. Okay. Well, lo and behold, they don't have it. And then he was like, well, you could order it from.
You could order it off of Home Depot. And they could. And at that point I'm like, you lost me. It's too easy. My credit card's already saved here. It's gonna be here tomorrow. Yeah, I'm good. But when they don't have it, I mean, it's kind of like, it's easy. I had to order a couple flashlights yesterday, which was so crazy. They were at my house within three hours. I do not know how that happened.
[00:10:45] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Sometimes if you timing, if you order enough too, you kind of get put on that. They were idiot that orders all the time. Let's get it there quick. So she'll reorder something else.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: Yeah. They're three hours. I'm completely shocked.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: That's why I was laughing. When Jeff Bezos got married, I was highly offended that I did not get an invitation to that wedding because I spent about 10 billion at his company. You would think I would be at that level to get.
[00:11:11] Speaker B: I am looking at all my orders and it's just so random.
[00:11:15] Speaker A: Random.
[00:11:16] Speaker B: Everything that you could imagine. I don't know if anybody could really pin down my personality by looking.
[00:11:22] Speaker A: No, mine either because it's all over the place.
[00:11:24] Speaker B: All over the place.
[00:11:26] Speaker A: But what I've also started doing, if I get served an ad on Instagram or, you know, Facebook or something, and it's something I really like, I'll look up the company on Amazon to see if they sell on Amazon. I feel more safe ordering it on Amazon than I do from an ad that could be a spam ad. And so if they have a company on and they're selling it through Amazon, I'll go ahead and order it. If not, usually I'll just forget it.
[00:11:51] Speaker B: I do the same thing with Tick Tock Shop. I don't buy through them. I just buy it on Amazon, find.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: It on directly on Amazon. Just be safe. So it's funny now we're comparing real businesses to if they sell on Amazon or not or if the same product brand is on Amazon. Yeah, yeah. So what's your recent.
[00:12:08] Speaker B: Well, those flashlights that came yesterday. Oh yeah, that was.
I mean that they're basically like a tactical flashlight that we needed. I mean, Lisa, it is everything under the sun. I had to get new filters for my Dyson vacuum. Ordered those and they're off brand so way less expensive and they fit my Dyson and it's going to be great. So just everything I needed to try.
[00:12:33] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, I love the place. I can't, I can't. I keep thinking, okay, this month I'm not going to have 250 orders now I'm going to get a new water.
[00:12:41] Speaker B: Distiller that just came in.
[00:12:42] Speaker A: Oh, you did? You talked about that.
[00:12:44] Speaker B: Finally crapped out. So I got a new one that I'm ready to set up because I've been freaking out not having my distilled.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: Water back to the, the event last month. So I, you know, I started with, I talked last week about my new event that I'm going to start doing once a month called A Seat at the Table and it's just going to be three other people besides me for dinner. And so I'm getting at the point now where I'm ready to have one. And so I wanted to select the people. You're going to love this because I used your boyfriend ChatGPT to deal with it. So I put together the list of everybody I want to invite.
And so I have this long list. And then I went through and I just put one word description. I did them in three categories.
[00:13:22] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:13:22] Speaker A: So I did talkative because I really want a combination of the. The different personalities so that everybody can talk and no one's dominating conversation. And so I did talkative, I did quiet, and I did thoughtful. And I put that description by each person's name based on my opinion of what I think they are, what I know for them, because these are all people I know really well out of.
[00:13:45] Speaker B: Like a whole bunch of people.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: Everybody. Yeah. So I've got, I don't know, 28 people on the list that I'm going to include in this over the3.3amonth. And so I uploaded that list into chat GPT and I said that I was doing this event and I wanted. I needed him to pick at him. I don't know why. I guess because it's your boyfriend. I think of him as a boy. I want to pick out three people that would be a good mix for the very first event. And it picked out three of the closest people to me.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:14:14] Speaker A: Randomly. And I think that's pretty amazing.
[00:14:17] Speaker B: Oh, you can't tell the names on here yet. Are you announcing who that you know.
[00:14:20] Speaker A: They know who they've been invited.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. And who got most talkative?
[00:14:24] Speaker A: You.
[00:14:26] Speaker B: Who would have thought?
Which is so funny because in high school they gave a Mouth of the south award and guess who got mouth.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: Shocking.
[00:14:38] Speaker B: Just friendly.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: Well, and that's. But I didn't want, like, if there were three of you or if there were two of you and one person that was kind of quiet, that person's not going to get a word in edgewise.
[00:14:49] Speaker B: Right.
[00:14:50] Speaker A: And so I thought I need to do one of each of what I feel people are so that it's a fair. So maybe the, you know, the more quiet person can shut up the talkative one. So, no, I really, I think. I think it's a really good mixture and I'm really excited. So I almost said, well, let's just do the rest of the year, you know, the rest of the time. Because I have everybody's name. But I was like, no, I'm going to wait and do it, you know, per each time because. Because I was just going to put their names in a hat and draw Them out myself. And then I was like, no, I'm going to do it. See what? Yeah, it worked out really well because the three people, I was like, oh, okay. That's a good combo.
[00:15:27] Speaker B: So do we dress up for this?
[00:15:29] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. Just casual.
Just come from whatever you're wearing during the day.
[00:15:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:35] Speaker A: It's really just about getting together and truly talking and just having. Relax. There's no agenda. There's no.
No true, like, program. Let's just show up. We're gonna sit around the dinner table.
[00:15:49] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:15:49] Speaker A: And eat. Have fun. Yeah, Love it. Yeah. So it'll be really fun. And never get to know new people.
[00:15:55] Speaker B: Organizing something like that.
[00:15:57] Speaker A: I love doing it and I love. I know.
[00:15:59] Speaker B: And you're so good at it.
[00:16:00] Speaker A: I love connecting people.
[00:16:02] Speaker B: Gosh, I wish I was, like, gifted. And I think I would have been a long time ago. I just have lost that part of myself, probably.
[00:16:10] Speaker A: I mean, I think that happens.
I mean, I was born with. I've been doing events since I was a little girl. I like, I thrive on putting events together. And so I've kind of stopped doing that with my company just because I got too old for it. I really. I mean, the kind of events I was doing rose climbing ladders and draping fabric, and it was too much. So I stopped doing that in 2013. You know, my company's 25 years old.
[00:16:33] Speaker B: Crazy.
[00:16:34] Speaker A: That's bonkers to me. But anyway, off subject, but so I still have it in my blood that I love organizing. I love the whole decorating and putting it all together, coming up with themes and stuff. So it's just sort of. I'll always do that as long as I can. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to it because I think it's going to be a great way for people to meet that may not know each other. Some people have seen each other at my house because I invite everybody, but they don't really know each other. So I think that's going to be really fun. It would be fun when I told you I've had people reach out to me, send me messages saying, I want a seat at the table that I haven't seen in 20 some years.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: It'll be a lot of fun.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: So it's gonna be fun for me, too, because I'm gonna see people that I haven't, because most of them are gonna be my good friends. But then I'm adding people that I haven't that want to come that I would never have thought about.
[00:17:23] Speaker B: So exciting.
[00:17:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm Looking forward to it.
[00:17:25] Speaker B: Okay. So have you. I think we might have talked about this before. Filtered shower head. Because I need to replace mine. We're talking about Amazon.
[00:17:34] Speaker A: I really want to get one. That's. That's something I've been looking at.
[00:17:37] Speaker B: I've been disappointed with it. And the only reason why I bought one and they're not expensive.
My friend recommended it was because her hair was breaking. Like, I mean, her hair was disappearing before our eyes. Her hairdresser recommended it because she was having an issue. And so she said it was because of how hard her water was or whatever.
So instantly the texture of her hair felt completely different. Her first wash with it. I feel like there's. I had definitely gone through a phase of, like, losing hair, and I don't know if that was based on Covid hormones. Well, I've not really had a hormone thing. I don't think like that, but I think it was just Covid hair loss probably. But I think I've been taking so many different supplements, I don't really know what's to. My hair is definitely fuller again and back to where it was. But I like the shower head. I mean, I paid less than 30 for it, and it's just got the. This filter of, you know, beads and charcoal and filters out stuff like that in there. But I really saw it make a difference on my friend's hair. And then she's the one who's also taking those beef organs. The hair fixed itself before the beef organs started doing what I needed to do for her.
[00:18:46] Speaker A: I do think it's funny that we. I mean, especially I and you, you were very similar in that we make sure we're drinking the right kind of water that's filtered. And you do distilled. I do a really heavily filtered water. And then we're showering in unfiltered nasty on the base. Tulsa City water body. Right. That absorbs.
[00:19:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:06] Speaker A: Everything we put on it.
[00:19:07] Speaker B: And I'm telling you, if you guys smell that. That distiller, you cannot. Into words. The smell that comes out of it.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: After you pull out.
[00:19:14] Speaker B: You really get to smell those chemicals that have been sealed up in there, and then you really realize what you're taking in. So it's. It's depressing.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I've definitely been looking into it because I. I want to add that to my shower. I'd love to have a whole house system, but I don't.
[00:19:31] Speaker B: Well, my friend had that. I told you, like, she. They had this. This huge. Oh, you tested them and they Only didn't have it in their half bath. Her half bath water was testing out better than her entire whole house. I mean, she had about. Had a heart attack.
[00:19:43] Speaker A: That's interesting.
[00:19:44] Speaker B: Very interesting.
[00:19:45] Speaker A: Something was wrong with her system.
[00:19:47] Speaker B: Something had been not right.
[00:19:48] Speaker A: Yeah, they didn't have it set up right or something. Well, speaking of that detoxing and stuff, have you tried apple pectin for powder? For detoxing when you detox?
[00:19:59] Speaker B: No, only bentonite.
[00:20:00] Speaker A: You do the bentonite and.
[00:20:02] Speaker B: And you can do well and. Are you talking about like paras or heavy metals?
[00:20:06] Speaker A: All of it. Anything. We're detoxing because I found it. I was reading about this a couple weeks ago about a doctor was talking about it where we detox with. However we're. Whatever we're going through for detox and all that junk that's coming out of our body still has to go through all your organs. It's passing through your liver and it's passing through your kidneys and your bladder.
And so all that nasty stuff is affecting all those organs as it passes through. Through. And so you really do need to take some sort of material of some kind that latches onto the junk and brings it out safely, whatever that is. And his recommendation was apple pectin and. And what? You know how good apples are. It's the same stuff found in apples and it's the same stuff they put in like gelatin to make it. The pectin makes it firm.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:20:53] Speaker A: And so anyway, I just didn't know if you'd ever tried it. I'm definitely paying it.
[00:20:57] Speaker B: I don't know about that.
[00:20:57] Speaker A: I do eat a half an apple every single day. I've done that for a long time.
Just for the fiber and just for the. I know apples are really good for you.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: No, that's really good. No, I. I have just been taking charcoal pills every. Not every day. Like every few days I'll take, you know, two pills or something. And then, you know, you have like wormwood that you can take to help and black walnut, but then the charcoal or the bentonite clay to help with that. So I'm going to look at that apple pectin too.
And of course I have all those extracts that I take, which is a liver cleanse and a candida cleanse and all kinds of stuff for that, which I'm all. I'm still real happy with that stuff.
[00:21:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I. I really, at this stage only use clean products on my body and I only eat clean food, basically.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm not that Good.
[00:21:54] Speaker A: I. I mean, I'm really trying. I'm doing it all. I. I take.
[00:21:58] Speaker B: I'm always honest about that. I'm like, I. I try, but I. I can't. I'm not that good.
[00:22:02] Speaker A: I haven't not had fast food since 1985.
[00:22:06] Speaker B: That just blows my mind.
You have not had fat. So if I showed up to your house with like a bag of McDonald's, you laugh in my face.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Never eat it. No, I have not eaten.
[00:22:15] Speaker B: Oh, my heavens.
[00:22:16] Speaker A: When I got out. I graduated from college in 85, and that was my last time to do fast food.
Never. I can't even tell you. I mean, I've gone through fast food lines from my parents, like when my mom is in the hospital or to buy stuff for my dad.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Blows my mind.
[00:22:29] Speaker A: Never have I ever. I mean, I really, truly eat pretty clean.
[00:22:34] Speaker B: That's amazing.
[00:22:35] Speaker A: And I only do clean products now. I mean, I'm. Cancer will change you.
[00:22:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: I thought I was doing well before, but now it's like everything I do.
Golly, it's all of it. It's funny, but it doesn't make a difference.
So I want to talk to you about the tick tock trends.
[00:22:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:52] Speaker A: I want you to try the one, the stiletto.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: Stiletto.
[00:22:55] Speaker A: When you. The lady puts a stiletto on and balances on a can of green beans or.
[00:23:00] Speaker B: I mean, I have seen this and I'm like, what are these?
[00:23:03] Speaker A: It's hilarious.
[00:23:04] Speaker B: I can't even hardly watch it because I'm like, I. Now, three years ago, I could have done it. I. If I wouldn't have fallen and hurt my knee, I could have done it. I have no doubt. And now there's no way I could even consider doing that.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: I want to watch the behind the scenes videos where the people fall and break their ankle. Yeah, they're not showing those now.
[00:23:22] Speaker B: It's the real. It's like the one. It's like a Rihanna. Like they're copying off of Rihanna. Right. And all that.
[00:23:26] Speaker A: And they're like, okay, cross leg.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: Yeah. No, on like a little tiny now. It makes me so mad.
Yeah.
[00:23:34] Speaker A: Watching those videos. But I would love to see a behind the scenes and how many times they fell off in their ankle folded over. Because, you know, that had to happen. Imagine multiple times.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: No, I can't imagine.
Let's see any. I saw a sweat, you know, sweater weathers coming up. A sweater hack. Because you know how everything is like a crew neck. You know, the big chunky sweaters are kind of pretty tight on your neck. But a lot of people like to layer a white T shirt underneath it. Well, then the white T shirt doesn't show like you'd want the collar to.
So an easy hack is to just turn your T shirt backwards and that way, because the neck back of the T shirts higher, so that way it'll poke out front of your high neck kind of sweater. So as we're all getting ready for.
[00:24:18] Speaker A: Sweater weather, which is here, by the.
[00:24:20] Speaker B: Way, I mean, pretty much I'm wearing.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: A sweater today because I was freezing this morning and it's like, okay, I know it's not fall, but I feel like it.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: What is the temperature? And we're like complaining about it was in this early?
[00:24:33] Speaker A: Yeah, like 70.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: It's 81 right now.
[00:24:36] Speaker A: It's 81? Yeah. Wow. That's warmer than I thought it was going to get today.
[00:24:40] Speaker B: But that hasn't stopped you from.
You told me you're putting ice on your face or something.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So you know that everybody sticks their face in a bowl of ice water. Kind of like that cold plunge we need to. Well, I've never done it because I can't imagine it. It's just too much for me. But I got to thinking, you know, we're always trying to get, like inflammation out of our face under our eyes. I don't really have bags under my eyes, but I probably could eventually. So I just started in the mornings taking an ice cube and running it all over my face. I know they have rollers too that you could roll. I just. I don't know why ice cube. Just because I think the liquid too kind of just adds to it. And it's made a huge. It closes your pores.
I just feel like it's tightening my skin.
[00:25:24] Speaker B: I like that idea better than dipping my whole face. But I had those ice rollers, like, why not?
[00:25:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: I mean, you can get that on Amazon.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: Yes. You can maybe add to cart. Yes, Save for later.
[00:25:35] Speaker B: Add it to cart.
[00:25:36] Speaker A: The benefit of the safe for later is it reminds you when it goes on sale, too. So then you can decide to buy it or not. But that makes a big difference. I love it.
[00:25:44] Speaker B: I mean, like, I really am going to do an ice roller and just see how it works. Because I can see why it would work. I mean, and I get a puppy face.
But I need. You also said something about wearing lip plumper. Oh, yeah.
[00:25:55] Speaker A: At night.
Night. And your lips, you'll wake up with them plumped up a little.
[00:26:01] Speaker B: Now I do wear my eye cream. Like when I put my eye cream or whatever. I put that on my lip. I've always put that around my lips.
[00:26:07] Speaker A: I have to. I mean, for years, it's the last thing I do before I go to sleep at night.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: I would assume most people probably, you would think it's kind of second nature to just do that.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: I don't know if it is.
[00:26:16] Speaker B: Maybe not. I like to put on my laugh lines and.
[00:26:19] Speaker A: Yeah, my. All around my lips, which makes sense because your eye cream is always going to be thicker and have more stuff because your eyes, so delicate, the skin around your eyes. So if you have those lines around your lips from using straws, or if you've been a smoker at one point in your life, you get those little fine lines.
[00:26:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:35] Speaker A: Really?
[00:26:35] Speaker B: I have been using the whole milky toner trend that everyone's talking about.
[00:26:40] Speaker A: The whole.
[00:26:41] Speaker B: And I do like it. I probably used it for a month now. And I mean, you know, you kind of splash it on your hands and. And pat it all over your face. And I even take it down my arms and stuff, because whatever's, you know, left over, so I don't have any complaints about it.
[00:26:58] Speaker A: I've been using a thing from Shackley. It's Pomafera is the brand. And they bought. There's some partnership with Pomafera, which is a skincare line. And they have. It's in a little bottle and it's called Erase. And it's a spray. And I just spray it on my hands and rub them together and put on my face. It will literally melt your mascara, everything off your face, like, within seconds, really. Even, like my red lipstick that I wear that's, you know, once I put it on there, it's on all day. I just wipe it right off, which soap and water does not take it off. This stuff is a beautiful. It just smells really good. It's an oil.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: I've heard of that line.
[00:27:31] Speaker A: It's so good. I will not go without that product. They have that, and then they call it.
[00:27:35] Speaker B: The one called Shackley is like, killing it. They are just buying up, what, Modere.
[00:27:40] Speaker A: Moder, the collagen from Modern. They bought all their products, but they.
They're the number one wellness company. Clean, branded. There are patents. And, I mean, it's like, if you're gonna buy a product that's clean and healthy for you, why not buy one from a company that's literally got all the clinical trials and the research and the scientists behind it?
[00:27:59] Speaker B: I remember being, like 7 or 8 years old and my friend's mom selling that.
[00:28:03] Speaker A: My mom we bought Shackley when I was younger. It's been around for 70 years.
I'm pretty much I'm switching over to everything from that company because it's clean and it's.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: I do like that I wand that I've been using.
[00:28:19] Speaker A: You know what it is? It's the new peptides that are in the GHK CU and then there's another one called oh Gosh, something 8 that's like a topical Botox that's in that peptide one that you're using. So good.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: I. I do like it.
I do like it. I really like everything I've kind of been trying from them.
[00:28:40] Speaker A: So yeah, it's a good company and I like the science behind that.
[00:28:44] Speaker B: Are on my lips too.
[00:28:45] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I have been doing.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: I put my castor oil on top of that to bake it all in. I'm like, well, castor oil pushes stuff in. It's going to push that in.
[00:28:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:54] Speaker B: So.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: And there's just something about castor oil that you get a mosquito bite, you put castor oil on it stops itching immediately.
[00:29:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:01] Speaker A: And I've also noticed the rose oil from that pomifera line.
You put that on a mosquito bite, it's almost like it. You don't have anything interesting. Even the welt doesn't really welt up very much.
[00:29:10] Speaker B: That's interesting because like I get ate up.
[00:29:12] Speaker A: Oh, me too. It's ridiculous.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: By mosquitoes.
[00:29:14] Speaker A: It's. They're bad. This year the last thing I was going to talk about too with self care and stuff, the tick tock trend of using red light therapy on your underarms. That's the new thing right now for it helps with the discoloration.
[00:29:28] Speaker B: I mean I would just think just for lymphatic drainage and stuff.
[00:29:31] Speaker A: Well, it could help for that. But also discoloration and hyperpigmentation, you know.
[00:29:35] Speaker B: Always under the arms.
[00:29:36] Speaker A: People always have darker skin under their arms. I don't, well, I don't want to see them. And she showed me her underarms.
[00:29:43] Speaker B: My kids, if I want to get on my boy's nerves. This is so funny. And I wish I had a hidden camera because if I really want to get mad at if one of them I could sit in the car or anything and I could go to put my hands up over my head and they will be like, would you put your arms down? Like they. That is the last thing they ever want to see is my. No, they cannot stand an armpit. So any girl who ever wants to ever like win their hearts.
[00:30:08] Speaker A: Don't ever show them your armpit and certainly shave then.
[00:30:11] Speaker B: Oh, gosh, yes. Like, it could be perfect that. Do not let them see an armpit.
Yes.
[00:30:18] Speaker A: Well, it's supposed to help improve skin texture and even smooth out fine lines. Who knew? You. I mean, I've never really had fine.
[00:30:25] Speaker B: Lines in her mind.
[00:30:26] Speaker A: Stop you from her stupid armpit. I don't want to see it.
Um, anyway, so, I don't know, it calms redness. I think maybe after you're shaving it. You know, I never got hair. This is probably too much information. I never got underarm hair back after chemo.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: That's weird.
Even getting older. Like, my legs don't really get near as hairy as they used to.
[00:30:46] Speaker A: Yeah, it does go away, but I. My and my legs. There's only about a 2 inch all the way around the middle of my calf that I have hair. The rest of it, no hair on my legs. And then I've never shaved my underarm since I started chemo.
[00:30:59] Speaker B: That's awesome.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't mind it now.
[00:31:01] Speaker B: That'd be nice.
[00:31:02] Speaker A: Wonder what happened if I did red light under there. But anyway, that's the new TikTok trend.
[00:31:06] Speaker B: Okay, so I haven't seen that yet. Well, again, here we thought, well, what are we going to talk about today?
[00:31:11] Speaker A: Yeah, we had a bunch.
[00:31:12] Speaker B: We're out of time.
[00:31:13] Speaker A: We are out of time. All right, we'll see you guys next week.
