Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. So I actually went shopping at Utica Square this weekend. I haven't been to a mall or shopping ever. Like, it seems like everything's online. It was busy.
[00:00:13] Speaker B: It is. I was. I've been surprised, too, just passing through there. Like, I mean, it is, and I love to see that.
[00:00:19] Speaker A: If you're not from Tulsa, Utica Square is an outdoor shopping center, kind of like the Plaza Kansas City. And I went into Marie and company.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: Love that place.
[00:00:28] Speaker A: I'd been in there one other time, actually, but it is, like, overwhelming. It is a sensory overload in that store.
[00:00:35] Speaker B: Yeah, you should be there at Christmas. It's. I mean, it's amazing. I mean, it really is like a. It's a trip that you go on.
[00:00:41] Speaker A: Did you know the owner actually was one of the nominated ones to design the White House?
[00:00:46] Speaker B: Yeah. For Christmas, right?
[00:00:47] Speaker A: Christmas, yeah. One out of 150 people did it.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: Well, and she also. She has a house over in Maple Ridge, and I guess, you know, people obviously want to see her house at Christmas, and she had arranged it to where. And I believe, like, the money all ended up getting donated. She wasn't doing it for financial gain, but she arranged where there could be tours of her house and, like. But there were not cars in the street. It was arranged that you had to buy tickets. A bus picked you up, you shuttled over, so it wouldn't be a nuisance to her neighbors. Well, some neighbors, I guess, got really upset and tried to, like, take her down over it. I don't think she had to stop, though. I mean, because, I mean, tickets were, like, 75 bucks a piece. It was not. And she said she was really trying to keep out just, like, Riff Raft in your house. Yeah. So I think. I think it was a wild success.
[00:01:34] Speaker A: Well, there's a lot of people in there, and there's a lot of people working in there.
[00:01:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: But I saw this. You know, I've always felt like ever since my mom passed away and the white butterfly that flitted around my car, butterflies seem very significant to me. And I also see them at times where I'm like, okay, that's really odd. You know, it was just. The timing is always right. Well, they had a little gold butterfly sitting. I don't really do gold, but I figured I could paint it to match my house. But sitting on this little stand, it was just really whimsical and very cute. So I was like, oh, I have to get that, because, you know, just butterflies are significant to Me now, so I go up to pay for it. And they all commented on the butterfly. The girl. And they're all young girls that work in there, and they all commented on it. And one girl said, oh, I just bought one for my mom, too. And she. Or mom. And it's. It was purple, but the purples were sold out, so all they had was left. And so I just said quickly that my mom passed away in March, and the butterflies are really significant to me now. One of the other girls standing there that was working there said, oh, my mom and my sister and I just got butterfly tattoos on my arms. And she raised up her shirt sleeve, and it was the cutest little. Just a black outline of a butterfly, and I lost it.
[00:02:47] Speaker B: And all of them got matching ones.
[00:02:49] Speaker A: Yeah. The sister and the. The two sisters and the mom.
[00:02:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:52] Speaker A: And just the signific significance of that and the fact they all did it together, and the butterfly and the mom and I just stood there and cried my eyes out. And these poor girls, first of all, they were like, I don't know what to do with this. But then they all started crying, and we all just stood there and cried. It's like, man, the tears can come so fast. But they were so sweet to me, and just the way they handled it, they were so.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: They do funny videos where they talk about everyone who works in there. They're like. Well, they tally up, like, how much they've actually spent in the store versus what they. All of them, I think, are working there to purchase there. Like, I mean, their money all goes back into the store.
[00:03:26] Speaker A: So many cute things.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: Oh, so many cute things.
When my. When we buried my mom, my sister and I had those forever bracelets done, so we were able to bury her with one on. Also, my bracelet has since fallen off, but it's been years. And I wore. You know, obviously, don't take it off.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: Right.
[00:03:44] Speaker B: But that's another idea that people. They want to bury somebody with something significant that y' all can all share in common. That's what we did. We just did all three did matching bracelets.
[00:03:53] Speaker A: That's a good idea. Those forever bracelets are kind of cool. And the significance behind them. Yeah, I think they're so. It's significance and stuff like that is so powerful with just people that have. You buy anything else. They, you know, they have McKenzie Childs, which I love, Mackenzie Childs, but I cannot pay that kind of money.
So I'm always just now looking for little trinkets and stuff to put on the table for my seat at the table for season, because I'm really decorating by seasons. And they had these really cute black and white plaid. You know, because my dining room's all black and white. Little black and white checked eggs that were not Mackenzie Childs, but look a little bit like him. And they were really inexpensive and cute. So I got some of those for the center of my table for Easter. Cute because I had some black and white plaid linen napkins that I'm going to use for Easter. So I'm already looking at perfect Easter.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Time to get busy.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: Yeah. But anyway, so that's all I got. And plus the little butterfly in memory of my mom. But they were so sweet in there and. But it's overwhelming to go in. You got to be. You got to be in the right mindset.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: Boys in there.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: No, I can't imagine.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: Because it's.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: It's so crowded with stuff.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: They want to hurry, too. I'm like, this is not a place you can hurry.
[00:05:03] Speaker A: You gotta just.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: Yeah, go outside.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: Well, one lady helped help me when I first walked in and took the eggs because they're glass out of my hands. And then a little bit later she said, you haven't found anything to buy in here. She worked in there. I'm like, you took them from me and put them at the counter.
Oh, yeah, that's right. But it's. Yeah. Because I don't think you can walk in and walk out without something. You're going to find something in there for sure.
[00:05:27] Speaker B: Without a doubt. I'm trying to think of what all I've been up to this week. It's been a crazy week. My uncle that I've been caring for long distance, he did pass away.
And it's okay. I mean, it doesn't make me sad, but it is one of those things. He really was. He was suffering.
[00:05:41] Speaker A: He.
[00:05:42] Speaker B: His life was. It was maxed out for him. So I just had to find peace in that man. I'll tell you, as I've always said, navigating that medical system is.
I mean, And. And I was trying to do it long distance. And I'll tell you what you do. You've got to record every conversation. You've got to go in there ready to fight a war every day. And it's better that you start documenting your conversations immediately. Record them. State of Oklahoma. It's a one party. You only. As long as one party knows you're safe to record that. Just trust me, they're recording yours.
[00:06:17] Speaker A: So what do you use to record?
[00:06:19] Speaker B: You can do it by holding, like if you're talking on speakerphone, you can hold another phone. Like borrow your kid's phone, hit hit speaker and just record it that way. I mean that's the best way. You know, iPhone now has an option. Like one of the doctors, I did say, hey, I'm going to record you if that's okay. Because I knew it was of alert alerts.
[00:06:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:37] Speaker B: But I was like, that's the only way I can keep up with everything you're telling. And he said it was no problem. So at that point on I'm like, well, it's not going to be any problem. But it is just so crazy the discrepancies that you'll find in stories.
It's really disheartening. Honestly. You got to be watching your back or your loved one's back all the time. Do you not ever take a second for granted with information you're getting told?
[00:07:00] Speaker A: Medications, you have to have somebody, a family member with them all the time.
[00:07:04] Speaker B: And I'm telling you, if you don't want a medication given to somebody, you just better get it on there that they're allergic to it because that's about your only almost way that they won't be given that medication.
Yeah. After you've done, after you've done this so many times, y' all can honestly predict what's gonna the next problem is they're gonna create.
I swear one day I just gonna want to go work undercover in nursing homes. Like I would love to do that.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: So that's so sad that that's how we our life ends is being treated like that.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: Yeah. So that's why more and more people I having their parents live with them buy homes that are perfect for that.
The mini homes in the back, you know, the tiny homes in the backyard. I mean what a great. I know my mom never knew she would love so much moving from such like an almost 5,000 square foot house. Moving into that apartment when she was caring for my dad and Claremore and that apartment was, I mean 700 square feet. And she actually really loved it. Like yes, she had to downsize a lot.
[00:08:07] Speaker A: But it was just probably didn't film as overwhelming. It wasn't as when you're at that stage of life.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: Yeah. So I mean it's like don't think that your parents might not really love that.
[00:08:17] Speaker A: Well, speaking of recordings and you've given me this idea as I have started when. When my dad and I are together because my dad is such a storyteller and his dad was the same way. And my dad goes into such detail with his stories, and he. He has zero dementia or he's. There's nothing. I mean, that guy is sharp as a tack. And so lately, when he started telling his stories, which I've heard 750 times easily, I'll start recording it because I know I want those. When he does voices. Yeah. So I have started recording no matter where we are. We were sitting in the podiatrist office, and he started in a story, and I just hit record because there's some great stories and he's led such a very cool life that he's got some really fun stories. And I've just decided, you know, I've hear him so often, you kind of start tuning them out. I had been, because I've heard him 800 times. But now I'm just like, you know what? I'm going to record those because I'm going to want to listen to that at some point. Yeah, true.
[00:09:12] Speaker B: And then make you, like, you know, there's online accounts you can upload them to so you don't lose them. But, yeah, I mean, I cannot stress that enough to start that.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm glad I'm doing it. And sometimes he'll be halfway through. I'm like, oh, I should have recorded that one. That was a good one. Because they go on for a long time. Yeah. He's one of those that tells you the names of the person, the first and last dates and the time and the. And so it's. They're fun to listen to, but I'm. I'm going to keep them all and keep them recorded. But talking about, like, nursing homes and stuff. I've been obsessed with this Savannah Guthrie's mom being kidnapped.
[00:09:48] Speaker B: I just heard about that, like, four or five o' clock this morning when I couldn't sleep.
[00:09:52] Speaker A: I told my dad yesterday on the phone, if that happened to my mom or to him, you would have to hospitalize me. Like, I'd have to be sedated in ICU to know that my mom was out there. Didn't know where she was, didn't know if she's okay, if she's not okay, what they're doing to her. I would be beside myself. Like, I don't know how I could survive that.
[00:10:11] Speaker B: Now, have they interviewed this Savannah at all?
[00:10:14] Speaker A: She flew out there, but they haven't talked to her. But she's got a brother and her sister that lived there that have dropped their mom off, so who knows? But they. They said it's obvious that there Are some they. She was taken against her will. So they have taken her. And she doesn't have dementia, but she's not in great health. She's 84. I think I'm relating to it so much because my mom was in her 80s and I just think about how hard it was to watching her suffer in the hospital and. And to think that your mom's out there, you don't know if she's. What they're doing to her. I, I just, My brain could not handle that. I mean, I am obsessed with. The first thing in the morning I get up and I see to see did they find her.
[00:10:49] Speaker B: I hadn't really heard about. I just hadn't been online very much this last week, so I had not. I was like really trying to dig into that this morning and see what.
[00:10:59] Speaker A: I just can't imagine being the children having to endure what they're having to.
[00:11:04] Speaker B: Address my dog for four days. And that was honestly like one of the worst, grossest sick feelings I'd ever gone through because I knew that, you know, somebody could have taken her for a bait dog. Somebody could. And somehow she just wandered the neighborhood for four days and was getting older and I think she somehow crossed over Crow Creek and I guess that really disoriented maybe her, smell her. But she was so weak. And I had flyers up everywhere with her picture. I mean, I would get up and just drive at 3 o' clock in the morning and it was the most sleepless four days. But we found her.
[00:11:40] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:11:41] Speaker B: She came home, these people called, they're like, I think your dog's on our front porch. And there she was, oh, so happy. It's the cutest reunion picture you've ever seen in your life.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: That poor dog.
[00:11:52] Speaker B: She was so relieved.
[00:11:53] Speaker A: I bet, because they've got to be scared.
[00:11:55] Speaker B: She was scared.
[00:11:56] Speaker A: Nothing familiar?
[00:11:59] Speaker B: No. She was so scared. She was the most timid, most mild mannered dog ever.
[00:12:04] Speaker A: Is that the one that wore bunny ears all the time?
[00:12:06] Speaker B: Huh?
[00:12:07] Speaker A: Another pet, but yes, she was.
[00:12:10] Speaker B: She was just a doll. She'd made it that long. And she came back though, thank God.
[00:12:15] Speaker A: Have you ever told that story about your dog laying on my feet?
[00:12:19] Speaker B: No.
[00:12:19] Speaker A: Did my nails?
[00:12:20] Speaker B: No.
[00:12:21] Speaker A: It was that big old pit bull. I forgot the dog.
Sadie.
[00:12:25] Speaker B: Was it Sadie? Yes.
[00:12:27] Speaker A: And that dog would lay on my feet while you were doing my nails. Now the dog had bunny ears on at Easter or had a pumpkin on its head.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: It was like, you're in her territory, honey. She's taking ownership of you.
[00:12:38] Speaker A: My feet would fall asleep Because I wasn't moving my feet. That big. She was scared of it. Yeah. And she was big.
[00:12:43] Speaker B: Yeah, she. Well, she was £50. She's tight and big as Daisy. Honey, that's a hundred pound.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: Oh, really fat.
[00:12:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Now this. Because all other ones have been like 50 pounds.
[00:12:54] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:55] Speaker B: She's double. Triple the size. Yeah. She's something else.
[00:12:59] Speaker A: I used to laugh every time I'd get over there. She'd have. You'd either have bunny ears on it or a pumpkin head or a Christmas tree. That dog wore more costumes. They did.
[00:13:08] Speaker B: She was a good dog.
[00:13:09] Speaker A: Still scared me, though. Still. I let her just lay on my feet. I didn't care. My toes would go numb.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: It didn't matter. I forgot about that. Yeah, they love to cuddle.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: Oh, clothes on dogs. It's ridiculous.
Piper wears them all the time. She loves them.
[00:13:25] Speaker B: Well, what hack have you come up with this week? Anything new?
[00:13:29] Speaker A: Do I have any?
Well, detoxing from deodorant. Have you heard about that? You can.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: Well, I have. And you've heard you have bentonite clay under your armpits. But the newest thing I heard was witch hazel. To wipe your underarms with witch hazel.
And they say that really, like, helps control armpit odor if you have it. I mean, that you clean it with witch hazel. And there's a. There's one infused with rose. Because I saw that a lot of people were like, oh, I can't stand the way witch hazel smells. So somebody suggested the Dickerson's Dickinson's, like, rose infused witch hazel. And they also said you can use it on your lady parts. I mean, but. But there. It was crazy because there was a bunch of people talking about it in this thread, and they're like, oh, my gosh, yes. Once you do that, you'll never go back. If they're. And they said, use it underneath your boob folds and all your armpit. Anything that has a fold, use it. And they said it's like this miracle worker.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: Wow. Well, you know, we talk about magnolia soap all the time. And witch hazel is the base of their room. Spray is witch hazel. Okay.
[00:14:33] Speaker B: See?
[00:14:34] Speaker A: And they've started using witch hazel instead of alcohol because the smell is milder. And so that doesn't overpower the oil scent that they put in it.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:14:42] Speaker A: But those are, like, the only ingredients in it is the oil. And then witch hazel is the base to put the interest oil in.
[00:14:49] Speaker B: You know, And I love the smell of alcohol. It's funny because I told you the other day. Oh, rubbing Alcohol. I just think it smells so clean. Like, I could spray my hands with it and be so satisfied. I like. Like, even my counters, if I were to spread, I'm like, I love how clean it smells. I can't explain it. Is that weird? I might have markers.
[00:15:08] Speaker A: That's a weird smell.
One time when I was. I forgot what happened. I was laying on my couch, so I hadn't prob. Fell and hurt my knee. And I had a bottle of water and I had the. Maybe I had hurt myself. And I had the bottle of alcohol beside my water bottle. And I had gone to sleep and I woke up and I reached over and I grabbed the bottle and took a swig and it was the alcohol. Never do that.
[00:15:31] Speaker B: That's like Nadia com nich who drank bleach by accident from a coffee cup.
[00:15:36] Speaker A: Really?
What did it do?
[00:15:38] Speaker B: She did. She didn't die from it, but it, like, made her. I think they tried it. If I remember the story right, I think they tried to say she tried to commit suicide. Don't quote me on that, because I have not watched that movie in so long. I'm pretty sure I have the right names with the right. Yeah, she had picked up like a coffee mug and thought it had. And she drank some bleach.
[00:15:55] Speaker A: Well, I'm like Pavlov's dog, because now every time I smell alcohol, my mouth just goes, blah. That was the worst tasting stuff. I mean, I came up spitting and I thought, okay, I'm gonna die because I just drank alcohol.
[00:16:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that would be bad.
[00:16:11] Speaker A: Yeah, it was not good. I wonder what would happen. I don't know. But I. I got some down me. I didn't get sick or anything. But the rest of it, I. I mean, I just spit it everywhere. It was horrible. I don't even know what I was thinking. Like, delirious, I guess.
[00:16:24] Speaker B: Yeah, it happens.
[00:16:25] Speaker A: Oh, but, yeah, I can't handle that smell. But no, for detoxing, you basically go a month without any deodorant. So you need to either go to an island or stay in your house. But once you go a month without it, your body detoxes from it. Because deodorant basically keeps. Makes you continue to sweat and have smelly armpits.
[00:16:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:48] Speaker A: If you go at least a month without it, it detoxes your body from it and you won't need to ever wear it again.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: I mean, that makes sense. I mean, you know, it kind of makes me wonder if you did wipe them down with witch hazel, if that. Get rid of any odor yeah. Because they do say you can detox. Like I said, putting bentonite clay, you know, with distilled water, blending it into a paste, putting that under your armpits. I mean, it's crazy. I see all these people taking borax baths, you know, with salt, whatever.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: What's the salt? Epsom salt.
[00:17:19] Speaker B: With Epsom salt and with baking soda. And, like, the results are kind of crazy. Like, the people are leaving the pictures in the bathtub of all these little black particles, and they don't know if it's, like, a heavy metal coming out of them. It's very interesting. I've not taken one.
[00:17:36] Speaker A: You haven't?
[00:17:36] Speaker B: But I got my Borax, so I don't know.
I melt away one day. Yeah. They say, like, once they wash, if they wash their hands with it, it's like, makes their hands crazy soft.
And it was real. Like I've said before, there's a real interesting history with borax.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: Well, I started using a deodorant, a natural deodorant, several years ago, called each and Every.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: Never heard of that.
[00:18:01] Speaker A: And it is so good. And it has different scents. Like, there's a coconut lime. That smells. Obviously, I've never smelled.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: You stink. So must work.
[00:18:08] Speaker A: No, it works so well some days. I mean, I can go. Where do you get it?
I order it directly from their company online. Each and every is the name. And now they have, like, a shower soap. And I've got some different products, but they have some great scents. And I probably have used it for the past. Well, since cancer. And I'm on my ninth year.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: Wow. Okay. And you haven't switched it up?
[00:18:31] Speaker A: Never. I love it. I do. I really think it's the best. And I. There are days I can go three or four days without having to reapply.
[00:18:39] Speaker B: That's impressive. Plus, you eat clean, and I eat.
[00:18:41] Speaker A: Very clean, and I do think that makes a huge difference. No sugar. Sugar does. Cause, yeah, crazy underarm makes a big difference.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: Well, speaking of sugar, have you seen all the viral. So I'm an icing fanatic. I will say. I don't think I eat it as much. I won't. I'll still fight you for the corner.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: Piece, but I leave a little bit of icing, too.
[00:19:03] Speaker B: Oh, icing.
[00:19:04] Speaker A: Butter.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: And I'll do any icing. Yeah, I love buttercream the best. But I'll do whipped. I don't care. I'll do whatever. But.
So, first of all, you talked about that. The bouquet.
[00:19:15] Speaker A: Cupcake bouquet.
[00:19:16] Speaker B: Right. Which was not cheap.
Well, Walmart has their own that I keep seeing all these viral things. I'm sure it's not near as pretty as that because you never know who you're going to get with that. I mean if you want something that is a plus 100% go to where you look like. I went ahead and ordered one for Valentine's to get the boys and me. I guess I get a big old flower and but they have these new heart cakes that are like 24. So the, the bouquet of cupcakes is 20. Yeah, yeah, 20 bucks.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: And and then they have several ones you can choose from. So just go online and put on cake order and Walmart and you'll figure it out. Then they have these like I guess these old school heart cakes that are double layered loaded with icing and they're $24 for Valentine's and they had some really cute like so yeah, somebody's looking for something for Valentine's. I'd check out Walmart.
[00:20:10] Speaker A: You know what's really funny about them, their cakes. There's a cake they have that's always in the refrigerated section of their grocery store and it's just a white cake with wide buttercream frosting. That was my mom's favorite cake. I bought it every single year for her birthday for I don't know how many years. And it is really truly moist cake.
[00:20:30] Speaker B: And you would know. You had a ton of cakes and yeah, I have no complaints that And Reese's on Brookside. I'm so satisfied with their cake, their.
[00:20:37] Speaker A: Frosting and all of it. Yeah, yeah. So I did order one of those cupcake bouquets from Walmart and comparing it to what I got our night and day. But it's crazy. It is the buttercream frosting and so they are. And my party this summer, I ordered those buttercream frosting cupcakes custom from Sam's and those things were a huge hit.
[00:20:59] Speaker B: Yeah, if you just tell them what you want they can really do it. And I will say I have I one time I wanted to do one of those naked cakes for something. I wanted to do a three layer so I went to Reese's and I just ordered three of the 12 inch rounds naked and then I bought, purchased, bought their icing and then I iced it in between and then I did what I did a flower thing on top and all that but it turned out perfect like something out of a bakery. So you can order that stuff from like reezers and probably even customs and make them as many Layers as you want and buy the rising and call it a day. Call yourself a hero.
[00:21:36] Speaker A: I never understood the old naked cakes. They're. They look cute, but it's like, well.
[00:21:40] Speaker B: But I get all the icing in the layers.
[00:21:43] Speaker A: Oh, so you still get your icing.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:21:45] Speaker A: Because that's what makes a cake.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Oh, I gotta have icing. Yeah, it wouldn't if. No way would I have.
A long time ago, some of my family had brought a birthday cake and it literally didn't have any icing. I was like, I'm not even. Like, I'm on funniest, like, hidden camera. What? Like, I gotta have icing.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: So. Yeah, my mom used to make a butter cake and didn't put out. She just put some powdered sugar on it and it's like, that doesn't even. That's not a cake.
[00:22:08] Speaker B: That's not cutting it.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: No, I gotta have icing. I'm an icing person. Double.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Our family recipe for red velvet cake is double. The. The icing is a double automatic double batch.
[00:22:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: As thick as the cake. It's so good.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: That's what I loved about. That's what I do love about the cupcake bouquets is because they have to put so much of the icing on them to get the. And then a lot of times they put chunks of icing in between to make the leaves and to fill it in. So you're getting your.
[00:22:33] Speaker B: I'm getting my icing.
[00:22:35] Speaker A: Bear she share of icing. You know, I'm always stressed out. And we were talking about cortisol last week and cortisol levels and how it affects your weight gain and which I know firsthand and just everything. Your stress level. Well, for stress and anxiety. I was watching an online keep. What? I just said I was watching an online yoga. I wasn't doing it.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: I was watching it.
[00:22:56] Speaker A: I can't stand yoga, but I like to watch it. But she was saying to release stress and anxiety is you crunch your toes. Like, crunch them like 20 times.
Crunch them 20. And then when you release them, like, your whole body relaxes. And I tried it last night and you really do.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: Like I'm doing it as we're talking right now. My crooked toe, that goes points all the way west.
[00:23:19] Speaker A: Mine goes even further west.
Yeah. So but you do it 20 times and then when you. You can kind of just feel your whole body because you've just kept it.
[00:23:28] Speaker B: That's how I feel standing on the lacrosse ball. Remember I told you, like I met you melt and it's always starting. Your nervous system starts, just relax. It makes sense.
[00:23:37] Speaker A: Kind of the same thing, because I.
[00:23:39] Speaker B: Was doing finger yoga the other day. It was something weird. Like, you twist this finger, you put these two together, and you wave your pinky back and forth, and they're like, that's a huge brain balance.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, there's always sorts of those things.
[00:23:55] Speaker B: Gotta do one hand, then do the other for, like, 30 seconds each.
[00:23:58] Speaker A: So I've said this before, but I'll be sitting, like, at home and. Or doing something I love at home, and I'll happen to check my aura ring, and I'm at the top of the stress level. It's like, I totally don't feel stressed.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: We'll just do finger and toe yoga.
[00:24:11] Speaker A: So I'm gonna start doing, you know, toe scrunches and see what happens.
[00:24:14] Speaker B: Have you ever been to. Because I'm really intrigued. I want to go to this, to that stretch lab. Like, I may even call them today.
[00:24:21] Speaker A: I know, but I've had someone that goes, okay. And she absolutely loves it.
[00:24:26] Speaker B: Okay, I think I'm gonna go today and see about that. I just want to do. Even if I just do a month of it and see, I, I mean, because nobody at home's gonna stretch me. Like, I need to. I like to stretch.
[00:24:36] Speaker A: Yeah. When we all need the stretch.
[00:24:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:38] Speaker A: That's the part that's the problem with, like, your hip flexors get so tight.
[00:24:41] Speaker B: And, and I 100 feel better if I do it at night for 30 seconds. Like, I mean, I just go down, touch my hands to the ground, do a few little squat stretches, and then if I do it also in the morning, like, I just. All together and better for it.
[00:24:58] Speaker A: I used to work out with a trainer years ago when I worked at TV Guide, and they were located at, like, 81st and Harvard, the facility. And this guy was a personal trainer and a physical therapist.
And so at the end of every one of my sessions, and he would just kill me during the sessions with heavy weights, and he would. They had those big, wide stretching tables in the gym, and he would lay me on that table and stretch me out, and I would never get sore. I mean, he stretched every single muscle in my body, and it felt so good.
It really does make a difference to stretch. And I don't do that enough.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: No, I, I, we need to, we need to do that.
[00:25:37] Speaker A: She goes to it pretty. I haven't spoken to her in a while, but she used to go all the time, and she swears by it.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: I can see that.
[00:25:44] Speaker A: Yeah. So especially like, you know, in your shoulder blades. And we all carry so much of that stress in our neck.
[00:25:49] Speaker B: Hopefully that's my goal this week, is have a replacement support back on that.
[00:25:53] Speaker A: All right. Relaxed, yeah. Be relaxed too, when you come because.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: I still need to curl my lashes, which I did. I got that kit. Didn't get that.
[00:26:00] Speaker A: Just spit red wine out.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Swish red wine. I got a big list of things.
[00:26:04] Speaker A: I need to do.
[00:26:05] Speaker B: But I did decide I have tubes of Retin a at home. I'm like, I never use it because I would be like, oh, it's flaky. I don't want to flake. It grosses me out. Well, everyone keeps talking about the sandwich method. You know, you moisturize and then you put the Retin a on and then you moisturize again. Like, the sandwich method is a whole thing and everyone swears by it. And I decided I'm doing. I am going to do my chess. So I've only done it two times this week because I'm skipping days in between to build my way up. I'm going to put it everywhere because it's. They say it's great for. I don't really have stretch marks. I have maybe like some growth marks when I was little, but I still. I, you know, I can see them if they're not. They're not red and inflamed. But however, they say that they're great for stretch marks. I mean, tightening. It's going to just help all your skin rejuvenate. But yeah, people put it on their knees, their elbows. Like, one dermatologist was like, don't forget about your elbows and your knees. Sandwich method that and see what happens. I'm going to try it for, you know, three months and see. Where do you get your Retin A, man? I've had it, but I'd gotten it from a doctor and just ordered a prescription. But everyone online says, use Amazon Pharmacy. So I guess you can do your. It's like a little telehealth on Amazon and then they send you the script and it's like super cheap. Oh, really?
[00:27:23] Speaker A: I have started seeing Amazon Pharmacy a lot for things.
[00:27:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:28] Speaker A: So Amazon. Good grief.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: Everyone's saying, go to Amazon to do it for their. And their teledoc thing is like super easy. I think it's like 39 or something.
[00:27:36] Speaker A: Yeah. I've never done Retin A, but I have thought about it often.
[00:27:40] Speaker B: I'm telling you, the result, it seems like that's really the number one.
[00:27:43] Speaker A: Oh, I've always Heard that for people for sure. I've always heard that.
[00:27:47] Speaker B: I'm like, I better hit it now before summer comes. Because I know I'm not going to wear it in the summer.
[00:27:50] Speaker A: Right. Which you shouldn't, I think. Right. Because you're more sensitive to regarded to it.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: I'm kind of just dying to try it on my knees and elbows because how neglected or my knees have clearly not seen castor oil all in a lot in a long time.
[00:28:04] Speaker A: Yeah. For the winter time.
[00:28:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I've totally. Yeah. Because I hate putting on lotion and putting on pants.
[00:28:08] Speaker A: There's a lady I follow on Instagram and she started using this collagen cream which you always think, is that really gonna work?
But her, she had crepey legs. You know, you start getting that crepey skin. I'm seeing it on my arms now.
And she started using it and I bought some of it. I'm. She uses it every night before she goes to bed and her legs are like a 20 year old. Smooth skin, no crepiness. And I bought some of it, but I don't even use it. I don't even know where it is. But it's done a lot for her legs. Crazy enough. I'll. I've got it at home.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: Well, and they've said to even use like milky toner. You can actually. People always. We pay attention to our face and neck, but why would the rest of our body not enjoy that same kind of treatment? I mean, because a milky toner is going to help, you know, that skin barrier. Repair the skin barrier and I mean all of our bodies are getting abused if they've been out in the sun.
[00:29:01] Speaker A: And oh geez, I think what I did to my poor skin and yeah, early days. Well, I've also started using the GHK CU peptide. I've done it twice and I gotta say I really feel like I'm noticing a difference.
[00:29:17] Speaker B: Well, you know what's crazy is I was like when I came in, this is weird that you say this because number one, when I walked in I was like, her skin looks really. It looks tighter. It looks tighter. I'm going to tell you that your face looks tighter. I don't know if it's all the way from that already, but another friend of our mine who I know has been doing it, Steven even saw her and she could not even believe it when I told her yesterday.
But he was like, her skin looked, her skin looked really good. Like it just. He could tell there was a difference in it. He didn't Know what she was taking. And I had noticed it too.
And it's. And she's doing the GHKCU plus red light. She does red light too. But it's not like a heavy note that she does do a mask now.
[00:29:56] Speaker A: Well, I have been doing the pearl powder, which I keep reading really great things about pearl powder. I have been doing pearl powder around my eyes for probably a month now with. Mixed with castor oil at night. Supposed to help your. All sorts of things. And I have noticed that my lids, because I have very droopy lids. I'm starting to see a lid again, which I think is interesting.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: Very interesting.
[00:30:17] Speaker A: And then two injections of ghk. And I. This morning I was like, now, how.
[00:30:23] Speaker B: Often do you have to take that?
[00:30:25] Speaker A: Daily. But I haven't been doing it because it hurts. Like when it goes in.
[00:30:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:29] Speaker A: Pleasant. Yeah.
[00:30:30] Speaker B: I remember when I did the glow, it was a little like I'm supposed.
[00:30:34] Speaker A: To be doing five units a day.
[00:30:35] Speaker B: They say put castor oil on over that and it helps.
[00:30:38] Speaker A: I do.
[00:30:38] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:30:39] Speaker A: And also I've also been letting it get to room temperature, which helps for me because I have a really histamine reaction when it's cold. So I have been letting them get to. To the room. And then I do ice on it and I do cast her afterwards. And it. By the time I woke, I did it yesterday afternoon. And even laying in bed last night like that is on fire. Today it's fine. It's gone.
[00:30:59] Speaker B: I had days where it didn't even hurt. Yeah. Other days where my.
[00:31:03] Speaker A: So I've only done two injections. One last week and then one yesterday because I've gotten to where since I have to let them sit out and get room temperature, by the time I have to go pull them and get them in the syringe, then it's like, just don't do that.
[00:31:16] Speaker B: All of hers, like, on Sunday night.
[00:31:18] Speaker A: That'S what I'm doing.
[00:31:19] Speaker B: She gets them all, you know, separated, all drawn up in her vials.
[00:31:22] Speaker A: And I did them, and I did this Sunday. I put them each a week's worth in baggies. The syringe is already in there. And I marked on the bag what it is. What my what how many day. What days I'm taking it. Because some I do Monday, Thursday, some I do Tuesday, Thursday, some I do. It's just ridiculous. I mean, I had seven bags of syringes for seven different peptides.
[00:31:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:45] Speaker A: But I mean, I'm gonna tell you, I just said this to somebody yesterday. I feel finally starting to feel like I did pre cancer, which was nine years ago. I'm on my ninth year. I mean, how crazy is that?
[00:31:55] Speaker B: You can tell though, you feel good. I can.
[00:31:56] Speaker A: I see it in you so much better. I mean they work without a doubt. And I, you know, have another couple that I want to start, but I gotta. I wake and taken way too many. I know, I gotta figure it out.
[00:32:09] Speaker B: I've heard about the new like. I've heard about slink. There's for like anxiety and just kind of stuff like that. There was another one, starts with an S.
Can you think of what I'm thinking?
[00:32:21] Speaker A: There's SS31, there's SS41.
[00:32:26] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the one I've heard. And that's for like libido.
[00:32:29] Speaker A: Yeah, that. Yeah, that's 31 is mitochondria health.
[00:32:33] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:32:34] Speaker A: I started taking that when you're supposed to do MOT C first and then SS31 after.
[00:32:38] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:32:39] Speaker A: I don't know for S. Oh Yeah.
[00:32:41] Speaker B: Because that SS31, you're supposed to take that before for like, from what I heard, two weeks or so before you take nad because that helps open up.
[00:32:49] Speaker A: It builds your. You're building your base, getting all that from the bottom up. Yeah.
[00:32:53] Speaker B: It's an interesting world out there for that. Fascinating.
I mean, very fascinating. I love it.
[00:32:59] Speaker A: I think this is the future of medicine. I really do.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: Did you see it was on the news the other day, those new med beds that are coming out. Whoa, it is crazy. Yeah, I saw it on Facebook the other day. They are literally these capsules that you can get in and they're. They're like these healing capsules, state of the art. So you have to look it up. Med bed, I can't even go into explaining it, but it can just take somebody who's really sick and like heal them. Like it's crazy. Be free. They're supposed to be free for people to use. Like that's their goal, to get these out here for free for people to use. Like I'm talking healing cancer.
[00:33:35] Speaker A: I'm anxious to see what happens because with insurance and medical. Because there's so many things coming down the pike that are natural. It's what you're like, you know, Peptides are what our bodies already. All this stuff we already do in our bodies, they just deplete over as we age. But it's really an anti aging.
And it's not so much about living longer. It's just living the life the best.
[00:33:56] Speaker B: You can, the best you feel.
[00:33:58] Speaker A: Yeah. You think about our parents and oh, I'd give anything to get my dad started on a couple of them and but he, you know, he looks at me.
[00:34:08] Speaker B: Lady had her dog on it. I was watching a thing the other day and she showed her 15 year old dog who obviously walked like it was arthritic, I'm sure. And she is doing a day to day journey of her dog taking bcp and oh my gosh, the difference in two weeks, the difference in a week. Her little dog was starting to run to her was pep in his step. It is the coolest thing. I'll send you the link too because it's pretty interesting. She's like, we've had some other days where, you know, it's a little slower than others but there's just no denying the improvement.
[00:34:40] Speaker A: I would be totally believe that. I mean I think about what it's done for me and my joints and my knee that probably needed to be replaced and now it feels completely normal. It's crazy.
[00:34:50] Speaker B: I'm not normal. But it's compared to what it was 100.
[00:34:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I still have because I'm only doing it like every couple weeks now, but. And then I still have days where I'm like, that's a little achy, I should give myself an injection. And then I do and I'm good.
It's bonkers.
[00:35:06] Speaker B: It is. And there's not to say I don't have days where I don't. Well, I can easily like slip my back. Like this week I was like, wow, I really slipped something. But I go to the chiropractor and it's crazy how much that fixes something. And I told him, I was like, I still feel that catch. I still feel it. Well, he pulls my legs a certain way and knows exactly what I need. And sure enough, that second pull pulled that pinch out. Whatever it was, it was locking that up.
Done. So I don't know how people can say they don't believe in chiropractors because.
[00:35:36] Speaker A: I was laughing yesterday because I, I'm so bad about setting my alarm at my house and then doing 85 things on my way out the door. Well, I had gotten to the refrigerator and I was grabbing a protein drink and I couldn't get the.
Somehow the vegetable drawer pulled out and I couldn't get. And I can hear the ding, you know, it's getting faster and faster and faster. I was like, oh, this thing's going to go off. I literally ran from my back door, which isn't that far, but I don't think I've run in 15 years, but I ran from my back door to my alarm pad so I could take it off. And as I got there, I was like, I was laughing. I'm like, wait, I just ran.
[00:36:09] Speaker B: That's how I first started taking.
[00:36:11] Speaker A: Last time I ran, Ty was the.
[00:36:12] Speaker B: One who was like, mom, you just ran in the parking lot. Yeah, because it was raining. I'm like, you're right, I did.
[00:36:18] Speaker A: Not funny because that's not something I've done probably in seven years. I was laughing. I'm like, I just ran.
[00:36:25] Speaker B: Yeah. So easy.
[00:36:26] Speaker A: Well, we are way past time.
[00:36:28] Speaker B: I kind of wondered.
[00:36:29] Speaker A: I was like, yeah, we're just going like we own the place.
All right, well, we'd love for you to like us, share us.
[00:36:36] Speaker B: Tell your friends.
[00:36:37] Speaker A: All right, talk to you next week.
[00:36:39] Speaker B: Bye.
