Hi everyone, and welcome back to their podcast episode. My name is Alicia
Gogin, the host of The Globe Secret Podcast, where I help you expand
your mind and become more self aware so that you can glow up into the
best version of yourself. Hello everyone in Happy May. I can't believe it
is already May. I'm low key kind of like, okay, wait,
hold on, slow down, Okay, let's not go too fast here,
because just yesterday, I feel like it was February eighteenth, and the sun
was setting at damn near three thirty pm at least over here in Toronto,
and we were miserable and we were cold, and we were depressed. And
now all of a sudden, it is May right now. I'm recording this
on May third, and I'm like, wait, it's like summer at this
point. It's still not technically summer, but it is summer in this household.
Okay, So today's episode is going to be an off topic episode.
It's basically just going to be like a recap. I'm going to be talking
about all of my current hyperfixations essentially for health, wellness, lifestyle, just
random things. To be a keikey episode. I needed this episode I actually
am kind of sick right now. Well I'm getting a little bit better,
but I had a little bit of a I don't know if it was a
cold, a flu, or whatever for the past few days, so I've
just kind of been relaxing and chilling. So I genuinely can't be thinking about
deep topics. But the plan was to do this off topic episode anyways,
because it's a new month. So with that said, I have a huge
list on my note notion of things that I've just written out throughout the month
that, like I just said, I'm hyper fixating on because this is what
I do. This is what I do. I hyper fixate on things,
guys, and like, we don't need to get into it, but I
definitely have some traits of ADHD a little bit, and also dyslexia and many
other things that I don't honestly even identify with because I think that it doesn't
matter not to say that I don't want identify it because I think that it's
bad. I just I don't need to. But realistically, like I will
go into a hyperfixation for like a week straight on something and then completely like
be done with it and move on to something else. And I do know
that that is definitely a trait of somebody who has something of the sorts of
those things. But also you don't have to be diagnosed with anything to maybe
probably experience that. I think we a lot of us do. We're kind
of like that. But with that said, there's a lot of things that
I will hyper fixate on and I'll kind of just like throw away and I'm
not interested anymore. But then there's some things that stick. There's a lot
of things that stick in my life. So we're gonna talk about some of
those things now. The first thing, or the first person that I just
want to mention here that I've been obsessed with and I feel so seen is
Brittany Broski. And this is what I'll say about Brittany Broski. You either
love her or you don't get her. It's not like whether you like,
you love her, or you hate her. It's you love her or you
don't get her. She validates the way that my brain works. And I
don't really know how to explain her to you other than you just need to
go watch her. She is a comedian. She is actually very smart,
and she's so funny and obviously very relatable. She is somebody who has well,
she has a YouTube channel on a podcast, like many people know her,
but she talks a lot on her podcasts about things that I am not
necessarily so interested in. But I learn a lot just watching her podcast.
Like, she talks a lot about history and like civil rights movements, and
she's I'm pretty sure she's quite liberal. She's very inclusive things of that nature.
She talks a lot about movies and theater and music and things like that,
topics that I'm not necessarily that educated in. So I like watching her
because she has some like I don't know, depth to her, and I
can learn from her. But I just love her because obviously she's really funny.
She's genuinely like a comedian. And the way her brain works is,
or the way her podcasts honestly work, is she just has like this endless
stream of consciousness where she'll have like a thought in her head and then she'll
go on to a rant and she'll forget what she's saying, and then she
comes back to it. And if she's like talking about some sort of topic
and she doesn't understand it fully, she'll go on Google. She'll type it
in She'll she'll be like, oh, like, what does this mean?
And then she'll go on to this rant and that rent and it brings it
all back together. That's how my mind works. That is how my mind
works. So I feel I've never felt more seen than to watch Brittany Broski
for an hour street just go on a rant about something. So anyways,
if you're looking for something that's gonna make you laugh, I would suggest watching
her on YouTube. I think YouTube is better than even just listening to her
podcast like on audio, because you can get the whole like set vibes.
I don't know. I'm a visual learner as well, and she's actually somebody
who I I've been watching a lot, especially when I've been sick or just
want to disconnect from any sort of like self development work and stuff. I
mean, I do this for a living, but also there's just times where
I don't need to be working on myself and I think that maybe that's just
a reminder to you guys, like not everything needs to be like this project,
this working thing. I think even on the podcast this month, we've
talked a lot about limiting beliefs in mindset work, and for the month of
May. I want to talk about a few things that are a little less
well, everything's gonna be mindset work on the podcast, but let me just
read out some of the ideas actually, since like why not tell you guys
what you guys are going to be getting from me in the next month for
the podcast. Okay, So I don't know when these are going to come
out in terms of what's coming first, but I'm pretty sure and like some
of this kind of might change, but probably not. So I want to
do an episode on how to bloom, slash, flourish into the woman your
dream just some something of the sort. I don't really know what I'm gonna
title that, but there are a few main things that I really just think
that has really allowed me to look at myself like, wow, I really
did flourish into that woman of my dreams, and like when people see me,
they look at me like, wow, she really bloomed or she really
flourished. So I want to bring that to you guys. I want to
talk about toxic habits that we're going to be dropping before summer, which I
did ask you guys on the on the podcast Instagram, what toxic habits you
guys want to drop. So I'm gonna read them out and we're gonna talk
about them, because I am there's just some like those mini habits that it's
not necessarily it's mindset stuff, yes, but they're just habits that I'm so
over and I think naturally, as spring and summer come, the days are
getting longer, I have more time. There's just no excuse to be having
these small little habits that are just they're not even necessarily keeping us stuck,
but they're just not needed. So I want to talk about that. I
have an episode all about rules for Hawk Girl summer because I have a master
list of technically rules I don't know that we need to be living by for
summer. And I think that's all for now. So let me know what
you think about that. And obviously you guys can let me know in the
comment section if you're watching on YouTube, don't forget to subscribe. If you're
watching on YouTube but also Spotify, you can let me know or on the
Instagram or wherever. So, like I've been saying, i've been sick,
I've been watching Brittany Broski And another thing that I've been doing is I've been
on What's in my Bag YouTube? Why have I been on that? I
don't know, but I am very interested in buying a coach bag, which
is not something that my designer friends would love for me to say, because
I have some friends of mine who are obsessed with designer And it's so funny
because my one really close friend she has like the Chanelle's, the Pradas,
the whatever. She's very much so a designer girly. And I posted that
I was watching What's in my Bag. I don't know. There was just
like this girl who was talking about What's in my Bag stuff, but she
had a coach bag and I was like, why are these so cute?
And why do I want one? From the outlet online? And I don't
care. I'm not really a designer person. I don't really care. But
I knew that she was going to message me and be like, stop trying.
This is what she said. She said, stop trying to make coach
happen. It's not gonna happen, bitch, Yes it's going to happen.
I'm gonna bring Coach back. And I'm not gonna bring Coach back. I
think it's already back. But anyways, I've been thinking I kind of want
a coach bag and I don't care. I don't care who who doesn't like
that? Okay, And if people think or tell you that you need to
get a designer bag and that you're not cool, if you don't, just
listen to me and don't listen to them. Anyways, I've been dying to
get one. So you might see me on Instagram with a new coach bag
because I just think that they're really cute and I'm really not trying to spend
a ton of money on a Prada or Chanel bag. I have one a
Prada bag, like one of those what are they called, like the saddle
bags, one that it's a cross body, but I bought it off of
my friend and it's getting like really old, and I'm not about to buy
anyone that's really really expensive. So let me know if you guys have any
good bag brands that you're really loving. I don't care. I literally could
care less if it is a designer bag or not. Also, just a
quick shout out. I am taking on some new clients, so if you
guys were thinking about working with me, everything will be down the description on
how to work with me one on one I usually take a few clients on
and I have been working with them for usually like an eight week period,
but there's been some clients that have been done with So if you guys are
looking for you can also just book a one off session. But if you're
looking to work on any sort of limiting beliefs, get any sort of life
coaching, self love coaching, any all the details will be down below.
You can definitely go and check that out. I love working with you guys
one on one behind the scenes. I don't take on too many because I
just have so many things going on. But I just wanted to let you
guys know because I don't promote it a lot and I don't like talk about
it too much. But that will be available for you guys. Okay,
I need to just quickly tell you guys. If you have not you need
to watch Summerhouse on Hey you but if you live in America or Europe,
I think you guys will probably have different streaming services wherever you watch your reality
TV. Can you please watch Summerhouse. It is my favorite show. Honestly,
I'm not gonna lie. The first season I didn't really love it because
I didn't really understand it I feel like that's pretty normal for any sort of
reality TV shows. You kind of have to get past a period of not
knowing these characters. You don't really know what the show is really about.
That. But Summerhouse is basically like a bunch of I guess twenties into thirties.
Some of them are in their forties though, so I don't know millennials.
I would say millennials who like work and live in New York City,
and then every single weekend they go out to where is it that they go
out to? Okay, so I had to just type that in to see
where they go. They go to Montalk Montalk mon Talk, I don't know
whatever, outside of the city of New York City, and they get this
house summer House, that's where the name is coming from, and they just
party for the weekend and then they go back into the city and they do
that basically every single weekend. And then every season they usually will have like
a new cast member or whatever. Like obviously, majority of the people who
are on the show, they evolve. Some of them have gotten married,
friendship, breakups, drama, everything, I don't know. I love it.
I also just think that it's like an older, like millennial type of
crowd, even though they party and they drink and they hook up and stuff
like that. I just really love it. Anyway. The reason why I'm
bringing this up is because Toronto they sometimes have events for shows that are premiering
new episodes or just like a new season of something, and and it's usually
hosted by Hey you House. They are having and even though Summerhouse is already
premiered, like it's already playing every Friday, they're having an event. And
West Wilson, the new cast member on this season of Summerhouse, is hosting
the event, I guess, and they're also going to be premiering like a
new episode while there. While we're all there, and I got invited,
I'm going to be meeting West Wilson. I can't. I'm gonna die.
So I'll keep you guys updated. This is happening in like a few weeks,
but I just figured I would let you guys know. I am so
excited. He is my favorite cast member. And that's basically a I'm gonna
say just in case you guys are not watching that show. Also, this
Monday, Real Housewives of New Jersey and new season is coming up so you
know, we have got our reality TV on deck for the spring. We
have Summer House, we have Venor Pump Rules, we have The Valley,
and we have The Real Housewives of New Jersey and I don't know what other
ones that are coming on, but I am locked and loaded for my reality
TV. If you're new Year, I really love reality TV shows because I
just think that it gives you a little bit of a break of I don't
know, just taking life so seriously sometimes. All right, next on the
docket, we need to talk about class Pass. I am still obsessed with
class Pass. I have been using it all the time, and really I
have just been going to hot Yoga all the time. That's like the only
class that I have been booking. So if you guys are wanting to find
a new and affordable way to get your body moving, please try class Pass.
I have twenty free free credits that you guys can use. I'll have
it linked down below, and if you sign up, I get credits as
well. But honestly, I'm not like even doing it because like, oh
I want to push this affiliate link or whatever. Genuinely, I think that
everyone should be on class pass only because I just think that it is such
a good bang for your buck instead of let's say you have like a yoga
studio in your city and you're trying to book through them, it can get
really expensive. Now, not every single studio is on class Pass, but
for majority of the studios, especially in major cities, a lot of them
are going on class Pass. So I don't know. I just think it's
an easier way, it's more affordable, and I've been absolutely loving it.
I've been going to let's actually pull up my class Pass right now and see
how many reservations that I made for hot Yoga since I have signed up,
which has not been very long. It's been like a month and a half.
Sixteen reservations so far, and they've all been for hot Yoga. I
have been seeing such good results. I have been sweating so much. I
have been so consistent, and I think that natche that's allowed me to be
more motivated to even go do my workouts at my condo gym for weight training.
So yeah, I've just been really loving class Pass, So I think
you guys should totally try it and sign up. And with that said,
I have been drinking so much water because I have been going to hot yoga.
You see how things are just a natural byproduct of you doing something good
for yourself. Like you could have a goal of, oh, I need
to drink more water, and I need to eat healthy, and I need
to wake up early. But like if you have like one goal, which
is let's say, doing something you really love for movement, which is let's
say hot yoga, you having a class booked once or twice a week for
hot yoga, naturally you're gonna wake up earlier because maybe you haven't booked in
the morning. Naturally you're gonna drink more water because it really requires you to
drink more water. But in general, like you tend to drink more water
when you're working out, and naturally you're gonna wanna eat better because you just
did your hot yoga class. So sometimes I think that we make habits so
difficult for no reason, when just all you have to do is kind of
pick one thing and then the other things will follow. So anyways, I've
been doing that, I've been feeling really good, seeing a lot of results
in my body. Not like I'm trying to get them really, but it's
a natural byproduct of me moving my body consistently. Okay. By the way,
this list that I'm reading off of is in no particular order, guys,
so I mean by now you probably listen. If you're listening still,
then you don't care for time stamps. But there will be time stamps.
But these are just like, I don't know. I'm just reading this off
because I can't be bothered to make this episode go smoothly. Okay, So
the next thing, what do I have on here? Hot oil treatments I've
been obsessed with for my hair? Listen, if you have curly hair,
like very curly, for I would say four B C hair. And if
you don't know what I'm talking about, this is gonna be for the girls
who probably have like street or very wavy hair. Maybe maybe you do know.
Okay, So there's this curl type chart if nobody really knows what I'm
talking about in terms of like the four A four B thing, and you
can pull it up and see what yours is if you're interested. I don't
like hyper obsess over it because it's not that deep and some people will argue
that whatever, who cares? Anyways, my hair type is like a four
B C, meaning I have very like zigzag slash tight koily curls, and
people who have like four ABC type of hair tend to have to treat the
hair different than people who have like A three A, B or C,
which basically just means you have like looser curls. Obviously, depending on your
hair type, you will have to use different products and you'll have to maybe
let things sit for longer. Also, depending on the porosody of your hair,
if you have a low prosody hair which I forget, which my brain
is not going to be able to work right now, but low prosody slash
high perosody, sometimes your hair will retain moisture or it'll get really dry really
quickly. Whatever. So my hair, obviously I have a whole routine.
I think I'm actually going to record a YouTube curly hair routine video because I
kind of want to show you guys what I've been doing for my hair,
but my hair. If you have hair kind of like mine, I would
suggest trying to do a hot oil treatment. I have been doing deep conditioner
masks in my hair for end of time since I've gone natural, and I've
been natural for so many years in my life. When I stopped perming,
my hair and straightening my roots and then using heat on my hair and extensions
and things like that and just went completely natural and like did trims. Something
that really helped my hair grow was deep conditioners. But I've also known the
benefits of hot oil treatments, but I haven't really been doing them anyways.
I've been doing it, and oh my god, my hair has felt so
moisturized. So you can use any sort of oil, maybe like a jejoba
oil or an almond oil. I've been using Carol's daughter. I think there's
like a seven blend oil. I think it's called Goddess Blend oil in my
hair. So what I do is I go into the shower, I do
my whole hair routine. I tend to like to use, like put the
oil in my hair after I shampoo my hair, which is not often usually
it's like once a week, just so that I have like clean hair,
and I section my hair. I put the oil in and I kind of
like twist my hair and then I'll put a hot not a hot cap,
I'll put a shower cap over my hair. Get out of the shower,
and I have a hot cap that I have and I put it over top
of my head and I just let it sit for like forty minutes, and
then I usually just leave it in my hair. Oh my god, guys,
the next day, my hair feels the most moisturize it's ever felt in
my damn life. I'm kind of upset that I haven't been doing that over
the winter. I'm not gonna lie. It makes my hair feel even better
than a deep conditioner ever has. So that's what I'm on currently, which
I need to continue to keep doing more of. But my hair has been
loving that, so I would suggest trying that if you are looking for something
new to spice up your hair routine. Also another thing that I've been loving
is iced machas. I think this is the natural result of me trying to
wean myself off of caffeine. I've been doing a good job of not having
so much caffeine in the morning, having like smaller cups, but also dropping
the second cup of coffee. And I'm gonna be talking about this in my
Toxic Habits episode, where I'll go through phases of like sometimes just grabbing a
secon second cup of coffee just because I want to, and I know that
it's not gonna make that much of a difference and it doesn't wire me too
much, like I do well with caffeine. But anyways, I have been
drinking macha and specifically I've been going to Timportan. Okay, this is gonna
be a little bit of a rant. I know that everyone has Simpleton's where
they live, but I do know that Tim Hortons is in America. Now.
Tim Morton's is huge in Canada. But you don't have to go to
Tim Hortons. You can go to another coffee shop if you want. The
reason why I'm bring up Tim Hortons is Tim Horton's has not been a coffee
shop where you go to get your lattes or your like bougie drinks. It's
very much so like it's the cheaper alternative. Honestly, Tim Hortons has always
been a good coffee shop, but it's not I don't know, You're not
getting your espressos made from actual real espressos made on one of those machines.
I forget how to say it, but it's called it starts with an L
like la la Morezi type of thing where you go into the coffee shops and
they actually like grind the espressos like the expensive Italian ones. Tim Hortons has
never had that. They've had lattes, like you've been able to get lattes,
but they have it in those machines that are just like not the best.
Anyways, it's very clear that they've been doing a rebrand. And I
also know because it's my first job, Like my first real job was working
at a tim Horton's, and I know that this is what tim Horton's does,
and quite frankly, any franchise over the years, after like five to
ten years, they will do a whole rebrand of every coffee shop. So
they'll completely change the design to upgrade it to like something that's modern and modern
times obviously to kind of keep up with everything, but also they'll obviously add
new things onto the menu. This that clearly they have finally realized people want
real fresh espresso. And so there's some new tim Hortons that I've been seeing.
They have real espresso that they grind and they make like a single like
ice latte or whatever. And recently they've been having macha on the menu and
it is good. Okay, So I don't know if you got I guess
it depends on the Timporton's, because I'm sure there's ones that don't really like
they don't have these machines yet. But I'm gonna be honest, there is
not a reason for me to be going to like an expensive like dark Horse
dark Horse Sorry coffee shop that the charge is like damn near seven dollars for
a freaking latte when Timportance has it and they're giving it to you for like
five dollars. So anyways, I have been loving the iced machas from Timporton's,
but in general, if I want to go to dark Horse, because
I do like dark Horse in Toronto, I'll be going there and I just
get an iced macha in replace of getting like a moocha, and I've been
really loving it. And I do have macha at home, so I want
to experiment with making macha hot or iced I have. I've been just in
my macha era. So that's what I've been loving recently. And with that
said, coffee shops, I have been working at coffee shops a little bit
more than usual. I think now that the days that are getting longer,
I just feel like I'm spending It just feels like I'm spending more time in
my apartment even though it's the same day, it's the same time. So
I have been using coffee shops sometimes to help me with motivation when it comes
to studying or just any sort of work. Just getting out of my environment.
I think that's the natural process of the season's changing. You kind of
have to change things up, whether it's your drink of choice, whether it's
you know, working at a coffee shop or a new one. Also,
what I have been doing, Oh my god, I'm gonna be showing you
guys on the main channel on my YouTube, so you'll have to go see.
But yesterday I decided to rebrand my life and move my makeup situation set
i should say, or table in my room, and completely change my living
room situation. So I've just been moving a lot of things because obviously I
want to. But with that said, I've been doing a lot of working
at coffee shops, which I just feel like I've been getting a lot more
done because I have been setting out time to be like, hey, I'm
going to a coffee shop and I'm gonna be working for like an hour or
two, versus sometimes what I'll do if I don't do that. And I'm
working from home because I work from home so much, and I do so
much from home. Let's say I want to study, I'll be like,
Okay, later tonight, I'll study. But because I'm just not really motivated
and I work from home, like I'll do the studying from home, I
tend to not get as much studying done because I'm just at home kind of
like screwing around doing who knows what, God knows what. So I feel
like getting out of my place sometimes has been helpful. So that's what I've
been doing. Another thing that I have been seriously so obsessed with are impressed
nails by Kiss. So I'm actually I have them on right now if you're
watching on YouTube, and it would actually seem like I have my nails that
I usually always get from like at the nail salon. But these are press
on nails. Okay. I worked with Impress on Instagram and I think you
guys saw my other nails actually too. They were like a purple lilac color.
Impress nails, specifically the ones that are the press on with no glue.
I'm obsessed with. They last so long, Okay, they look insane.
It takes three seconds to put on. You don't have to use the
glue. It's not annoying, it's not gross. I don't like the glue
ones. So if you guys are looking for press on nails and you want
to save on money, go and get your self some impressed nails. Now.
I know that they sell them at Shopper's Drug mar in Canada. I
think they sell them at Alta. If you live in America, we don't
have Alta here. Maybe you could even find them online. I don't necessarily
know. I just know living in Canada, which is obviously different. But
I love them. They literally have the ones that I usually spend like this
set, guys would cost me, And if you're listening on audio, I
just usually what I get is like a light pink color on my nails,
and I'll get them like coffin shaped nails that are not too long and French
tips essentially a little bit thin though not like too thick of a French tip.
That's what I like usually, and that would cost me. If I
was getting like a full set done, that would probably cost me one hundred
and twenty dollars. And I already hate sitting at the nail salon and just
for me to go back two and a half weeks later to get a fill,
which will cost me around eighty dollars. And why does the nail ladies
always give me a new price every single time? Listen, there's some salons
that don't, and they're fair with their pricing, but I just can't be
bothered. So anyways, I have been loving these. And also I will
say I kind of like the idea of doing press on nails because I do
want to have these nails. Not these nails, but my nails taken off.
Sometimes around my period, I don't really like having nails when I'm on
my period, mainly because I use a period cup sometimes. By the way,
I'm very flexible with the products that I use when I'm on my period.
I sometimes use a period cup, not all the time. Sometimes I
use my period underwear. Sometimes I use tampons. I still use tampons.
It just depends. It depends if I'm going out, it depends if I
have nails, it depends whatever. So anyways, some of the reasons or
some of the times I skip out on using my period cup is if my
nails have been on and they're a little long. I don't want to listen
if you know, you know, And so I'm kind of like really loving
this idea of just having the press ons because like, I'm about to get
my period in a week and I'll just take these off. So anyways,
I've been really loving them, and obviously I'm saving so much money and I
don't have to sit at the freakin' nail salon. Oh my god, I
can't be bothered. I'm not gonna say that I'm never gonna get my fake
nails done again at the salon. But I just don't see a reason when
I could get these. And I used to hate getting Like I never stuck
with getting those nails that you do at home because they never stayed after a
day or two. When you would glue them on, one at least one
of them would pop off. These don't pop off. So now I'm like,
I'm good. Okay. Next thing we need to talk about is my
playlist. Listen if you guys follow me on Instagram my main Instagram, Alisia
Cogan, Listen, you guys ride for me. You guys are genuinely like
my besties. I really do feel like we have created this bestie big sister.
Sometimes I show up like the coach. I show up like the teacher.
We know this, but then sometimes we're just really key keying it out
here. And I feel like that's what the vibes are always on Instagram and
you guys ride for my playlist. I love you, guys. I feel
like we are the same person with the saves that I see sometimes on my
playlist. With that said, I think that my playlists are such a result
of my current hyperfixations or my moods. But this season or not this season,
but April into May, I have made so many playlists. Okay,
guys, so I need to talk about this new playlist though that I just
currently made, and my current favorite songs. Okay, I'm obsessed with them.
It gives POV You're in a good mood. It gives POV. It's
May, it gives POV everything is good, love exists, it gives I'm
in love. Okay, so let's just quickly read out it's eleven eleven.
Also, oh my gosh, oh by the way, rant, it's not
really a rant, but Little Techa just came out with a new song.
I love Little Techa and if you you guys ride for Reagan. If you
know, you know, and if you don't, I don't know what you're
doing. Reagan seven seven seven on TikTok YouTube. We love her, we
love her, we love her. She made or she didn't, she didn't
make. This is basically her song. But she made five hundred pounds by
Little Techa so big, and she like did this little dance to that song.
And if you don't know, then just please go look on TikTok and
watch. And I love her. She's the best anyways. She is like
Little Techa Coded, And ever since that song, everyone knows that song to
kind of just be her song, like Coded, And so anytime he comes
out with a new song or whatever, we obviously always just think about her.
He just came out with two songs, number two and Never Last.
I actually haven't listened to Never Last, but at the end of number two
he used I guess like a soundbit of her being like, oh, this
is my song. I think this what it is in her song, which
is just a moment. It's a moment for Reagan, it's a moment for
the girls who support Reagan. So go support your girl. If you guys
haven't heard, I just think that that's just such a moment for her.
Anyways, back to the playlist. Okay, so, first of all,
I've made how many playlists this season or this April? I finish the Summer
Afrobeats playlist. Please go save that. By the way, all you have
to do is type in my name, Alicia Gogan and the link will be
down below if you want, and it's on Spotify. I'm sorry, guys.
Listen. If you guys are still an Apple Music person, I know,
I know it's taken. It takes a while, you don't want to
do it, but I'm telling you you won't regret it. It'll be uncomfortable
for a moment because you won't have any of your songs on Spotify, but
it is actually better than Apple Music. And I used to ride for Apple
Music. But I'm telling you it's better and everyone's there, everyone's on Spotify.
You just have to do it. Anyways, Summer Afrobeats, I finished
that playlist. You guys have been loving it. One hundred and thirty one
saves already. Okay, and I'm not really like a Spotify girly, Like
I'm not somebody that's known for Spotify playlist and I feel like that's a lot
of saves. I think the most saves that I have on my playlist is
the Summer House, which has almost seven hundred saves, which makes me think
that this playlist has been shared outside of my immediate following, because I just
don't see how. Anyways, whatever, I have a playlist called Spring Rap
I just add I'm not really too fond of that. I just keep adding
rap songs that I kind of like. Is not really curated. The next
playlist is called Come Closer, and it basically has all Chris Brown and a
little bit of Justin Bieber. It's just giving sexy vibes. Please just go,
just go save it. I'm telling you you're gonna love it. Okay,
so that was a new vibe. I'm not gonna listen to that all
the time. You gotta be it was giving. I was ovulating when I
made that playlist. I'm not gonna lie. The next playlist I tie my
toxic trait. It's not gonna be for everyone listen. It's not gonna be
for the healing girlies. It's not gonna be for the self love girlies.
It's gonna be for the girls who have like I don't know. I was
gonna say, like it's giving like Fight or Flight coded, It's giving hood
Girl coded, it's giving you definitely grew up with I don't know. Anyways,
it has a lot of yeat, it has a lot of Ken Carson
in that playlist. I love it. I love that kind of music.
If I was at a concert or a festival and they're playing Ken Carson,
I would be headbanging to that music. And I don't care. I don't
care. So it's not for everyone. But if you also, there's this
guy I didn't know who was. His name is rich Amari. He sounds
like he's like Future Coded, like the artist Future, but he's younger,
but he sounds like future Madonna and Rihanna. Go listen to that song by
rich Amurray. I love that song so Ken Carson Rich Amurray. Anyways,
So that's just I don't know. When I'm feeling really toxic, I'll listen
to that playlist, okay, And the current playlist that I've been listening to
or just made actually in the songs I'm gonna read out is called POV you
Feel Good Now. I got some of these songs or a few of them
from a playlist that's not mine, but it's amazing. It's called POV You're
That Girl. So if you like Sabrina Carpenter, Tate mcray, Dojakat,
Sizza, Beyonce Tyla, all of those girlies, please go listen to that.
Like I was gonna say that artist, Oh my god, I'm telling
you my brain is not brain a right now, so I'm sorry, this
is what you're gonna get. But that playlist is really good. So I
just made a new one called POV You Feel Good. And I have five
songs right now that I'm hyper fixating over and I will add more. And
I don't usually share this on Instagram until I've made it, so I haven't
shared it yet. But the first one to get us going is ninety two
Explore by Post Malone. Please just go listen to that song. I know
you either love it and you just forgot about it, or you're gonna love
it if you've never heard of it. It just sets the tone for May
Okay, that is one of the best songs on that freaking album. And
by the way, I do think this summer is gonna be a Post Malone
summer. The next song that I've been loving, which Brittany Broski made an
entire I was gonna say debunking, that's not the right word, entire episode
on Beyonce's is it a new album? Essentially, I guess it's new Cowboy
Carter. I think it's called Yeah, Cowboy Carter. Listen. I am
not really a Beyonce fan, and I know that that's like a disgrace.
It's kind of a disgrace. I don't know why. I've just never really
been. I don't know, I've never really like Obviously, I love Beyonce.
I think that she's beautiful. She has beautiful music, and I've listened
to a lot of her music throughout the years, like just naturally, but
I never like play her really Anyways, Brittany Broski did a complete breakdown of
every single song in the album, and this is what Britney Broski does,
and she can actually see the art in the beauty in each song and she
like breaks down the lyrics and stuff, which I wouldn't be able to,
Like, I would never be able to do that because I just I don't
know. I'm not the I don't think i'm that musically inclined, and I
don't view music in that way. But anyways, obviously she appreciates the album
for what it was. And then, of course, when I was listening
to POV You're that Girl, this song on the on her new album came
on and I was like, oh my god, I remember Brittany talking about
this song, and I'm like, holy shit, it's so fucking good.
Sorry for swearing, but not really, because I swear in real life,
guys, I swear a lot in real life. The song is called Bodyguard.
It is my new favorite song. It is genuinely my new favorite song.
I love that song. It is just giving, You're in love,
You're grooving, it is Oh my god, that is going to be the
song I'm going to I'm gonna hear this song in the end of or at
the end of summer, or even next year, whenever I listen to that
song and I'm gonna think about right now. I'm gonna think about right now,
and it's gonna be the best. So that is the song that is
second in that playlist. The next is Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. I don't
really listen to her music, but I really love that song. So that's
the next one. The next one is I Like the Way You Kiss Me.
Okay, this is like a TikTok song, like I Like the Way
You kiss Me. I can tell you miss Me, I can tell it
hits hits hits. That one. Okay. I wish I could play it,
but I can't because I'll just get copy write it in like whatever.
Anyways, I love that song. And then the last one that I added
in only just beat. This is not a new song, but this is
just me coded for spring and when I'm really happy. It's called Sick Too
by Darcy and four You. I actually don't know how to say that artist's
name, but it just makes me happy. So those are my five hyperfixations
right now. I will add more into that playlist, but I'm feeling good
about this month's music. I think we have a lot of good playlists.
We have a lot of og playlists that y'all still like to listen to,
and I still go back to, like I go back to my Hood Girl
playlist a lot, and my what other one, the rap aesthetic one,
Like the rap aesthetic one is just classic like Drake and Little Baby, just
ones that you'll always vibe to some Jack Harlow. We needed a new Jack
Harlow album. We do. Actually, I can't get into Jack Hurlow right
now because I will hyperfixate on him. That is somebody who I've hyperfixated on.
Same with Central Sea, like that's what I do. Anyways, I'm
not. I can't right now. Okay, I don't really have much else
to say because I feel like I went through my list pretty quickly. I
do have on my list. This is what I have itching to move to
the West. I don't know what. Well, I probably know what it
is. You know what it is is now that it's getting nicer out.
All I want to do. All I want to do is go on a
hike every single day. I want to go watch the sunset. I want
to see mountains, I want to see water. I want to see grass,
trees, I want to see nature. That's all I want to see.
I want to see no people. Literally, yesterday I went out and
I was walking around four pm, which is like I forgot that this is
the time that most people are gonna be out. Obviously everyone was out because
it was really sunny, but around that time is like people were getting off
of work. This that and I was walking outside and I'm like, why
there's so many people, Like I don't like this anymore. And that's really
just because I usually go out and walk and do my hot girl walks and
spend time outside on times where people are usually at work. And also it
hasn't been as nice as it's been, so now I'm like seeing how many
people are actually living in the city when it's nice out, and I hate
it. I actually hate it. I'm like, this is not fun anymore.
Like I want to be outside where there's no one and it's so it's
it's rude. It is definitely rude because everyone deserves to be going outside and
it's really just like a first world problem and it is just Listen, I'm
ranting to you guys because I feel like you guys are like my besties.
But sometimes I'm just like, oh my god, there's just too many people.
And then I have to remind myself, like you live downtown Toronto,
what do you expect, Like I actually expect to walk outside and see absolutely
no one anyways. So I think that that's why I feel like I'm itching
to move out West. And if you don't know, if you don't live
in Canada. Out west, it's just very it's nature. There's just so
much more. It's not city. And I've been thinking about like Vancouver.
I've been thinking about like in the summertime when I went to Calgary and just
how laid back it was and how not city it was and how beautiful it
was. And I totally see myself moving out west, probably who knows,
but probably out west. I mean, I also say that I'm gonna be
living in Texas, so who freaking knows, It depends, But all I
know is, yes, I'll be moving outside of the city. But I
feel like I've just been really itching for that, which is fine. I
am not actually rushing to get out. I know that it's gonna work out
exactly how it to. But oh my gosh, do I ever just want
to be in nature every single day? I'm just like, to the water.
We go to the water, we go to nature, we go to
the sun. We go wherever the sun is, I will follow. I
I don't know. There's just something about nature which is so wild to me.
Because I was never a nature kid or girl. I hated going outside.
Honestly, I was so lazy in high school. I was so lazy
in elementary school. I wasn't even like I wasn't a sporty kid. I
remember, you know, those track and field days or when we would go
out for recess, like I hated it, like I didn't want no part
of nothing. And my mom always hoped that I would be more obsessed with
nature like she was. She's always been in love with nature, and I
never liked that, which is crazy because I used to live At one point,
I lived on many places, but at one point we were renting a
place on a farm just outside of Berry, like my hometown, and it
was on a farm, so there was like nothing but nature, and I
hated it, like I never took advantage of going on long walks and hot
girl walks and whatever. And now every time I go back to Berry,
I want to go, like back out there. I just want to go
drive out there and just be one with nature. So I don't know,
maybe that's why I'm saying that I'm itching to move out there. But I'm
fine right now, Okay, we are fine. We're living our best life.
I'm grateful. I'm so grateful to be living where I'm living in the
city. I also just think like where I live in the city, it's
actually not too in the core, Like I'm very much so away from the
chaos that you kind of hear sometimes about downtown Toronto. I don't have to
deal with the stressors of the commute and just that so there's nothing really to
complain about, which it's totally fine also to have those preferences, because I've
like sometimes I hear influencers online always have to disclaim like, oh, guys,
like I am I'm really grateful, and or like when they show things,
they'll be like, I'm not trying to brag, and it's like,
girl, you don't have to always disclaim things like it's fine and I know
that they're doing it because like people might think that, but also like it's
okay to have a preference. It's okay to have things like That's what I
think about sometimes when I see some influencers who, let's say that they're doing
a hall or they're doing this that I'm like, show me the hall,
show me the freaking hall, show me the things, like show me the
fact that you have this beautiful life. You don't have to say sorry for
it. You don't have to apologize for it. You don't have to apologize
for wanting bigger and better things in your life. And I know, on
one hand, it's like I understand where sometimes the pushback would come from of
like people saying, oh, like you are really spoiled or you have all
these things and people over here don't have them. Like I understand that argument,
of course, like I get it, But then I'm also just like
sometimes like just let yourself be happy for once and want what you want.
And I just think about, like, that's how I look at myself when
I say these things like oh, I'm itching to move out West. I
don't have to humble myself and be like, okay, but you have to
be grateful for everything that you have now and you shouldn't want that. It's
like, okay, no, I am grateful and I am happy, but
yes I do like want a bigger and better life, and I do want
like my home or I want more money, or I want these things and
we shouldn't be sorry for that. And I'm not sorry for that, And
the nicest way possible, I hope that doesn't come across rude. I'm disclaiming,
as I just said, we don't have to disclaim anymore. Anyways,
I think that's gonna be it for today's episode, because again I am a
little bit sick and my mind is all over the place. I can't wait
for the next few episodes. We're gonna be talking about habit, which I
just think that we all need to kick it into gear. May is here.
Literally, I was thinking, I'm pretty sure. I said, that's
the beginning, but how is it already? May? I was literally telling
my friend yesterday it kind of needs to slow down, which is so wild,
because were we not just crying yesterday about the fact that May need to
be here already? And I was sitting in my bed yesterday looking outside and
realizing it was still I remember exactly the time, eight thirty five pm,
and the sun was setting like this. It wasn't even dark out, and
I was texting my friend Dui, and I was like, how did we
get here? How did we get here? It's so crazy. The sun
always does shine again. So maybe that's just like a takeaway for anyone who
might be maybe you're still feeling it, Maybe you're still feeling the blues,
maybe you're not having the best day, maybe you're going through it. Things
will change, things will change, and honestly, a lot of times things
change way quicker than we even think. Okay, and yeah, that's gonna
be everything. I hope you guys had an amazing day or have an amazing
day, whatever day you're listening to this, and I'll see you guys in
the next one. Bye.
