00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Today we're gonna talk about. This episode is about solo dates.

22
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>When's the last time you wined and dined yourself this summer,

23
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's time to bring back solo dates. Okay,

24
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 1>even if you're married, have your better half, other half?

25
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 1>What have this half complicated situation? What do you call

26
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 1>them situations? And what have you? Solo dates are extremely

27
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>important time to spend time along with yourself and join

28
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>your own company. Always took herself out to do things concerts, dinner, lunch, breakfast,

29
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 1>what have you? You know, not all of your time

30
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>needs to be spent with someone else. It's extremely important

31
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>that we spend time alone, getting to know ourselves, love ourselves, like,

32
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>what do you like? What do you want? You know?

33
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>What are you looking for? What makes you happy? What

34
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>do you find entertaining? So let's just start off this

35
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>summer with planning some solo dates. Okay, and this goes

36
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>for the females and the males. If you're a teenager

37
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>or in your young twenties, it's time that you get started.

38
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't always wait for someone to go and do some

39
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>things with. Enjoy doing things alone. Right, Like I said,

40
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>even if you're married, leave the spouse at home, just

41
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>take some time for yourself. All right, So here we are.

42
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Taking yourself on a date is a powerful act of

43
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 1>self care, confidence building, and self discovery that involves intentionally

44
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>plant enjoyable solo activities like dining out, visiting museums, or

45
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 1>spa days to enjoy your own company. It boosts self

46
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>worth and reduces dependency on others for happiness, essentially wooing yourself.

47
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't that sound really nice? Have you ever done this before?

48
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever gone out on a solo date? Okay?

69
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>of the things that you can do to just get

70
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 1>into your own groove, get into your own self. We're

71
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna do solo dates that you know everyone should try.

72
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I have like five other things listed. I did see

73
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>this here online that I want to share with you all,

74
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 1>And this was already mentioned earlier. So I may go

75
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>over a few things. So just bear with me, all right,

76
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>but don't forget complete this episode. Listen to the entire thing,

77
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>all right. Number one, take yourself to a cinema alone

78
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>by popcorn. Pick the seat you actually want that you

79
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>know you're going to say, hey, I want to sit

80
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>right here. Take your time, look, make the right choice. Okay,

81
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>you can laugh, cry if you need to. No one's

82
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>talking to you, okay, so you can do whatever you

83
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 1>choose to. Because you're by yourself, you're gonna be able

84
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to cry, to laugh. Just sit and enjoy the good movie.

85
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And just sit and just enjoy the movie. Number two,

86
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Go to a cafe on a weekday. Order a drink

87
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>or one small pastry. Order a drink in one small pastry,

88
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 1>Sit by the window and keep your phone face down

89
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>for a bit. Watch people going to work, students rushing,

90
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and cars passing by. I love to just people watch.

91
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Do you all find that really? Really just so relaxing,

92
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Just to whether you're in a mall, whether you're in

93
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 1>a restaurant, whether you at a cafe, a rest I

94
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>said restaurant, or if you had a concert, if you're

95
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>having dinner, if you had a movie, just a people watch.

96
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 1>I love to people watch and I'll have a whole

97
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll have a whole scenario of what their life is

98
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and what type of person they are. Oh yeah, I'm

99
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.079
<v Speaker 1>like that. I'll look at the Yeah, she's the type

100
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 1>that's really ballsy. Oh look at him, he's in a rush.

101
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.199
<v Speaker 1>I just make up scenarios I mean, it's really it's

102
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 1>really therapeutic. Let me know if you all have ever

103
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 1>just people watch. I don't know if I'll put that

104
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>in a poll, but you never know anyway, or just

105
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 1>leave me a comment and let me know if you've

106
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 1>ever people watched okay, or do you enjoy it? Okay?

107
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>So we had number two, let's go to a cafe

108
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and number three book a nice but affordable hotel in

109
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 1>your city. Pick a pack a small overnight bag like

110
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you're traveling, okay, or the room service or buy food

111
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 1>on the way, take a long shower, wear the robe,

112
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 1>lie on the bed and do nothing. If you want, journal,

113
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 1>if you want, watch a movie and just relax and

114
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>sleep in and just have a slow night and slow morning.

115
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever done that? I've done that where I

116
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 1>booked the room local. I know the last time a

117
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>friend and I my friend and I Trina, and we

118
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>had gotten a room out Marino Valley. But the room

119
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 1>was horrible. I was just like, oh God, the bed

120
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 1>was messed up, to TV. It was just everything about

121
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.959
<v Speaker 1>that room was. It was horrible. But that was the

122
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>last time that I did that. I need to do

123
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that this summer for sure, because I'm here in Vegas.

124
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 1>You know you can get all these good deals and

125
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>just go and get a room, to get out of

126
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 1>my house and act like you know, I've gone on

127
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.879
<v Speaker 1>a little mini overnight vacation. That's always a good time.

128
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>And number four is take yourself on a Saturday breakfast,

129
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 1>wake up early. I've done this plenty of times. This

130
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>is really good, and during the weekday as well. I've

131
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 1>done this on a Saturday, and I've done it on

132
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 1>a weekday as well. On a Monday is always really

133
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>good too. Anyway, take yourself on a Saturday breakfast, wake

134
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 1>up early, shower where something really cute, or if you're

135
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>a guy, you know, get all dressed, look really handsome.

136
00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>As long as you're feeling good. When you look in

137
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the mirror and you turn and spray on your little

138
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 1>perfume a cologne, you're just like, yeah, you know. And

139
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 1>then you go somewhere that serves breakfast, sit there and

140
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 1>order something nice, enjoy your meal, take some selfies, videotape

141
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 1>your surroundings if you choose to. You don't have to

142
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>put it on social media. You could just have it

143
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 1>for your own for your own records. You know what,

144
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just for your own little keepsakes. That's always

145
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a good time. A nice breakfast really sets the tone

146
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>for a day. You get up, you get going. And

147
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 1>you can also do a nice lunch somewhere if you're

148
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 1>not an early morning person, because not everybody's a breakfast person.

149
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I get that, but do this for lunch, go somewhere

150
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>really nice, and always say go to a new restaurant,

151
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>something that you've always wanted to try. Don't just go

152
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 1>to the same thing, like if you want a baked

153
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.039
<v Speaker 1>chicken or you know, barbecue and shit like that. Just

154
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 1>go to something. Expose yourself to something new. If you've

155
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 1>never tried sushi, go try sushi. If you've never gone to,

156
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:08.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe a Japanese restaurant, but do something different. Don't patronize

157
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 1>the same restaurants you would normally patronize. Don't do that.

158
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 1>Make it a new restaurant somewhere that you've always wanted

159
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>to go, like they have here in Vegas. They have

160
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a Bojangles. Now I can't wait to go. And I

161
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.039
<v Speaker 1>know that's not fancy, but that will be something that

162
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 1>I'll do, whether it be for breakfast or for lunch.

163
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'll just go to Bojangles and just sit

164
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>there because I've heard they have really good biscuits. And

165
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I know I just said, don't get the things that

166
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>you have, but that's one of those things that like

167
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I have to try, you know, just like when canes

168
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>is popping up or in and out in your areas.

169
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Like I've had a burger, but I just have to

170
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>try this place. Like I said, try something that you

171
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 1>haven't had prior. Okay, that's always a good thing. And

172
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you're another thing that's really really good. Take yourself out

173
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to a nice dinner if you have to make reservations again.

174
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>You get all dressed up, put on something sexy, something

175
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 1>that makes you feel really good about yourself. Go go

176
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>get a new outfit just for your date night, you know,

177
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 1>pick up some flowers along the way, or have some

178
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>flowers delivered. Yes, have you some flowers delivered? And you go,

179
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>oh gosh, you get your shower. Have on excuse me,

180
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I got the hiccups. Well I have the hiccups right now.

181
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that crazy? Anyway, you go and you get all

182
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>fancied up, you play some nice jazz or whatever type

183
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 1>of music soothes you, and you know you can sip

184
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>on something a juice, wine, champagne, you know, make a

185
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>nice little stiff drink, a little whiskey whatever, or it

186
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to be. You can have a non alcoholic

187
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>beverage for those of you who don't drink. You know,

188
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm not promoting alcohol on here. That's just me. But anyway, Yeah,

189
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and then you make a reservations. You show up, you

190
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.399
<v Speaker 1>have your your flowers that you left at home. You

191
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 1>smell those on the way out the door, and you

192
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.559
<v Speaker 1>get in your car, you call your uber, your lift,

193
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and you go to the restaurant and you've already made reservations.

194
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 1>And if you haven't made reservation, if there's a wait,

195
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 1>no worries, folks, always go. It's a thirty minute wait,

196
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>an hour wait, that's okay. Go sit at the bar.

197
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Look around again, people watch. If you're in the drink

198
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 1>and drink, get you a Shirley temple no alcohols in that.

199
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 1>If you want to get you a nice little drink,

200
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>sit there and wait. It's part of the enjoyment of

201
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:34.159
<v Speaker 1>being out on solo dates. Okay, make those dinner reservations. Okay.

202
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>And you can also number five, book a beauty appointment alone.

203
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Get your nails done, get your brows done, a watched out,

204
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and get your haircut. This is for the ladies and

205
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.759
<v Speaker 1>the men. Man go somewhere. If you're into dreads, get

206
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>your dreads retwisted, get a haircut, go to the barbershop.

207
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>For the women, go to the beauty shop and just

208
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 1>don't rush home after you've pampered yourself and you've gotten

209
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>And men, I know a lot of men now are

210
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 1>into manicures and pedicures. You know, they going to the

211
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>nail shop, they're getting their feet done. There was a

212
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 1>time when I thought, I've said this probably on the show,

213
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I would never go with the man too, and that

214
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>now I would love that. When I see couples, I'm like, yeah,

215
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I want a guy to sit there. Get your feet

216
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 1>done too, baby. I may want to suck your toes,

217
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>who knows, Yeah, never know. Ooh if you gotta suck

218
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.960
<v Speaker 1>toes before anyway, that's a whole different show. But never know,

219
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>okay anyway, So yeah, and then what you do is

220
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.879
<v Speaker 1>after you, you know, look at yourself looking all good,

221
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 1>you may go somewhere and have ice cream or just

222
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 1>go sit in the park, drive around listening to music.

223
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I know gas is high right now, it's like growing.

224
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's driving around. Just wast Go sit in the park, though,

225
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, to just sit there, enjoy

226
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.679
<v Speaker 1>some music. Go sit out at the beach, you know,

227
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 1>or just the lake somewhere you don't have to rush home.

228
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>You looking good, you feeling good, so you want to

229
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>be out and about. You know, those are some ideas

230
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 1>for some solo dates. So let's get that in this summer.

231
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's plan and do a lot of a lot of

232
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:19.919
<v Speaker 1>solo dates this summer. Okay, let's just put it in.

233
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Get the calendar out. Today's April fifteenth. So plan something.

234
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's just give yourself a week or two. Plan something.

235
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 1>Think about what it is you want to do. Do

236
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to do a movie? Do you want to

237
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>do breakfast? Do you want to go to a museum?

238
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>You want to go get pampered? You can do. Oh

239
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and also we mentioned early briefly a spot day. A

240
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>spot day is always a good massage. I can't wait

241
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.639
<v Speaker 1>to be able to get my finances together to go

242
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and get a forty five minute massage. Oh baby, when

243
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.559
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, I am going to enjoy every second

244
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of that massage. I've been saying that, like, you're definitely going,

245
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I was going to also tell you all,

246
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I've said this over and over again, groupon is your friend.

247
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Look around on groupon. You will be surprised of the

248
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>deals they have for places that you know, sometimes they

249
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>may not be doing really good with their business, so

250
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 1>they put on groupon so that they could attract more

251
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.879
<v Speaker 1>folks in the hope that you'll be a returning customer.

252
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 1>So go there, whatever it is you're looking for. And

253
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a cooking class that's definitely on my list this year.

254
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do a cooking class. I want to

255
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>take a I think I want to learn to do

256
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>my own pasta. And also I know for a fact

257
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to make my own sushi. So I've already

258
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.919
<v Speaker 1>and again I found those coupons on groupon just haven't

259
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>purchased them yet. Finances, you know what I'm saying. I'm

260
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to get it together, y'all. But anyway, yeah, I'm

261
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>going to go and I'm going to take a because

262
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do anything for my SIXTI if I just

263
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I wasn't in the mood. I didn't I

264
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to be around a lot of people. I'm

265
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.919
<v Speaker 1>not adventures. I didn't go anywhere. My finances weren't at

266
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 1>all good, you know what I'm saying, broke broke. But anyway,

267
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna still do things throughout the year because I'm

268
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna celebrate turning sexy the entire year and making attending

269
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 1>a sushi classes definitely on my list, and also attending

270
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.799
<v Speaker 1>a cooking class where I'd either do French, you know

271
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.039
<v Speaker 1>food or Italian, but definitely doing those things this summer

272
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 1>because my finances are turning around. Baby, I'm speaking into

273
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.879
<v Speaker 1>an existence, you know what I'm saying. Things are looking up. Yeah,

274
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>so I'm ready to start spending a little something on

275
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.039
<v Speaker 1>myself and you all should too. Okay, go to groupon,

276
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 1>look around, see what kind of deals are online or

277
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 1>wherever you go to, you know, save a buck and

278
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>just book the spot. Go to a hotel or motel overnight,

279
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.399
<v Speaker 1>go to the next city. Book a trip alone. But

280
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you get there, don't tell folks you're alone.

281
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Don't ever tell anybody. Don't know I'm here by myself.

282
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 1>You always gon know I'm here with family members. They're

283
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.559
<v Speaker 1>just doing their thing and I'm doing mine. But you

284
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.839
<v Speaker 1>can always just have an amazing time. Do a day

285
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>trip where you can go up and do a turnaround

286
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 1>where you go up that day and you come back

287
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 1>home that night. But let's do more solo dates in

288
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. The summer of twenty twenty six is

289
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 1>made for solo dates. Okay, don't take the girlfriends, don't

290
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 1>take the homies, don't take your husband, your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend.

291
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, just the children, the grands. You know, you're

00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 1>your best friend. Like no, solo trips is where it's at.

293
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 1>It's for your sanity. It's for you to enjoy your

294
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>own company. If you can't leave the house and go

295
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 1>out and have an amazing time and return home. Like

296
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>all that was so beautiful because, like I've said before,

297
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the best part of doing solo things, I was talking

298
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.079
<v Speaker 1>to my neighbor that lives hearing the complex. Her and

299
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I were hanging out in the community center yesterday. The

300
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.279
<v Speaker 1>best part about solo dates is you don't have to

301
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 1>worry about anyone who's ready to go or the people

302
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>who are wanting to stay longer. It's like, Okay, I'm

303
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>done with this, I'm out of here, and that's that,

304
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, or somebody going hey, I'm a little short.

305
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.759
<v Speaker 1>You got this? Or can you cover this? And splitting

306
00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>bills and I didn't order this? And who ordered? No,

307
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that's just for the birds. Man, Get out there and

308
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 1>do so. Low dates. Let me know what you're planning,

309
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 1>or if you're already in the habit of having solo dates,

310
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.680
<v Speaker 1>let me know that as well. Please please leave me comments. Okay,
