Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
Hawk Curl Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this
is your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a
new week, a new mindset, and another day. If you'd
become the hawk Curl Energy you want to attract. Hello
you guys, Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to the weekly episodes.
It feels good to just finally have this buck into
a routine and just like know exactly when to record,
so it's nice to be back full time. I want
to talk about things that are worth your money this
episode because I don't know if you guys are up
to date on TikTok, but I feel like everybody's talking
about things that they've purchased that they think are one
hundred percent worth the money. It's like your top five
favorite things, and I figured we could do the episode
around thirty things that I I honestly either have done
or have purchased throughout the years that I think is
one hundred percent worth your money, whether it's like a
monthly thing that I do, or something that I've purchased
within the past year or the past two years, or
things that I keep a repeat purchase on that I'm
truly obsessed with. I've definitely done episodes like this in
the past where it's like things I'm obsessed with or
things that I think are worth a splurge or not.
I personally love to know what people think is worth
the money, Like I don't know, I feel like there's
always things that people either want to invest in or
get into or honestly it's a great way to discover
new thing. I really tried to keep the things that
I've noted here for this trend, like for all scopes,
whether it's clothing, whether it's investments for like things for
your kitchen, something that you could do for yourself on
a monthly basis, like a self care treatment, apps that
could be downloaded again, kind of everything a jewelry that
I've invested in that I'm I'm obsessed with. So I
literally just did everything possible that I think is worth
the money that I've purchased that I'm obsessed with. So
that's kind of what I decided to do for today's episode,
since we don't have too much to catch up on,
because I feel like last week I kind of gave
a huge update with us selling the house. We're moving
out of this house. I think in five weeks now.
We definitely have a busy calendar these next few weekends,
so I think we're probably going to start buying boxes
and preparing for our move this weekend, which is so crazy.
We have a few weddings that we're attending, so we
actually I totally forgot we have a wedding this weekend.
Oh my goodness, I totally forgot. We have a wedding,
the wedding that we were supposed to go in Portugal.
She's also having an Attawa wedding, which is really nice. So,
as you guys know, we canceled our Portugal trip because
it's the same week as my dad's surgery. So we
are attending the Ottawa wedding, which we're very excited about,
just to least be part of that and be with
family since it is Za's cousin. So I actually have
that on Saturday, So Sunday we'll be probably picking up
boxes and starting to slowly figure out the plan of
how we're going to pack up this house. And then
I have another wedding in August and another wedding in September,
so a few weddings, which is kind of exciting. This
wedding this weekend, though, is like very casual. I did
end up ordering a dress yesterday, super last minute, but
because it's been so crazy these past few weeks, honestly,
it totally just skipped my mind about the wedding happening
this weekend. But I did get two dresses from Revolve.
Oh my god. I also forgot to have a wedding
at the end of the month as well. Wow, so
many weddings. But anyways, it's two casual weddings that I'm
going to and then two like really fancy weddings. So
the two casual ones are more like at a park,
family backyard situation. So I just got two pretty like
short dresses. I didn't want to do a long dress
just because I felt like it was a little too fancy.
I don't know, I feel like a short dress just
made more sense for this casual wedding, and then I'll
probably order long dresses for the two fancy your weddings
that were going to. But anyways, that's a little a
life update of what's going on there. I also want
to quickly talk about Love Island because I was very
hooked this season. I've talked about in the past that
I wasn't really overly obsessed with the show in the
beginning because this was my first time ever watching it
for the very first time. Then Cassamore happened, and I
became literally addicted. I'm talking every single night, I was
up to date with the episodes, logging in. Zach became obsessed,
Like we were both just like, very very invested in
the show. I am going to give some spoilers, so
if you want to watch it, maybe skip past this,
or if you haven't watched the finale, I'm letting you
know now that I'm spoiling what happens. But I am
so freaking happy that Trinity and Bryce won because I
think they've deserved it from the beginning. I think it
was honestly a pretty obvious winner, Like out of all
the couples, I'm like, this couple deserves to win. Like
you can just tell they're so into each other. It
was giving like best friend energy in the beginning, and
then now they're like totally obsessed with each other and
like they're just the cutest thing ever. And Trinity just
seems like the sweetest soul ever. And then Bryce just
seems like so humbled, so down to earth, and it's
so funny because I feel like he's an LA boy,
He's a DJ like I feel like men like that
just kind of give a different vibe. And I just
was not expecting him to be so down to earth
and so genuine, and I don't know, I feel like
he did such a great job of like being himself
throughout the entire show, and Trinity as well, so very
well deserved. I'm really happy they won Melon Sincere. I
hate Sincere so much. If you watch the show, then
you know Sincere literally was backstabbing the girl that he
was seeing multiple times, and he's just not Sincere. Okay,
his name does not hold to what he actually is,
and it's Yeah, it was quite crazy, but I'm shocked
they got the third place. I think Kaita and Zach
probably should have gotten third or second place. In my opinion,
everybody hated Zach, but I think Zach got so much
hate for no reason. Like I can understand why some
people hated him, but I think his sense of humor
didn't like hit the same way for certain people, and
I think people read him wrong and really really like,
we're rude to him, like right now, apparently him and
Kada's Instagram accounts have been deactivated because there's been so
much hate about the couple, and like they ended up
getting fourth place, And I'm really really shocked that they
got fourth place because I personally think they should have
gotten second place because they were also a couple that's
been together since the beginning, and I feel like Kada
obviously stayed true to her word throughout the entire show
of just wanting to be with Zach and Zach obviously,
I mean, he had his cast a more moment, but
I just also feel like he was indicative regardless and
like he was going to pick her no matter what.
So anyways, I was really shocked about that. However, I
do freaking love Anaya and Carl. Carl is like a
teddy bear, Like he looks so adorable. His personality just
seems so sweet, and Anaya obviously is just like a
ray of sunshine, and I think they're just adorable together.
So anyways, I do think Anaia on Carl also deserved
to be in second place. Like I'm really happy for them,
but Trinity and Bryce just they knew they were taking
that price home, like they deserved it more than anything.
So anyways, just wanted to quickly let that out because
I really really loved who won and the show was great. Honestly,
I am excited to get into it for the new
season come next summer. I think there's a reunion August
thirty first, so I'm definitely gonna watch that. But I
was really shocked in the beginning. I really was not hooked,
and then I became addicted. So apparently everyone says I
need to get into Love Island UK, so apparently it's better.
Maybe that's the next thing I watch because right now
we have nothing to watch now that the Love Island
USA is over, so maybe that's something that Zach and
I get into. And then literally the past seven days,
my cousins were in town from Colorado, so I've spent
a lot of time with family these past seven days,
which was really nice because they only come down once
a year, and I literally only see them once a
year basically, so I need to go down to Colorado
to see them because I hear Colorado is amazing. I've
never been. They live in Colorado Springs, and yeah, so
they only come down here usually for like ten to
twelve days. So they were here for the past ten
days and it was really really nice to see them
and just catch up and spend some time with the kids.
The kids are at six, eight, nine, and thirteen, so
they're pretty am but it was exciting to see them
in nice to have some family time. Okay, let's get
into this episode again. This is the TikTok ton that
everyone's been talking about, which is things that are worth
the money. And again I've really tried to make this
list very broad of things that I can think of
that I either purchase all the time, things that I
do on a monthly basis that I think is worth
the investment, investment pieces that I think are worth every
penny when it comes to things for your home, things
for your house, things that you can use for beauty purposes,
all that. So we're going to get into it. The
first one is the Teza app. This is actually a
photo editing app. There is the Teza App Pro, which
you can purchase I think for like a small fee
on a monthly basis. But this app has actually changed
my life when it comes to work and just like
posting Instagram photos and having just a really nice edit
for my photos and it doesn't have to be a
big edit, like it's like very subtle, but it just
like makes my photos look more crisp and more professional
in my opinion, And there's like so many cool features
you can make your photos look like film photos. Polaroids
give that like vintage look, and it's just like literally
the best app ever. I think an influencer actually created it.
And anyways, I'm obsessed with the app. So if you
don't know it, it's called Teza t z z A.
I feel like this is like a huge influencer hack
that a lot of influencers actually use. And again, I
think that the app is free, so you can do
a lot of things for free, but you can pay
a small fee if you want a lot more features
to add to your Instagram photos. So anyways, that's something
that I'm obsessed with that I use all the time
for my Instagram photos. Another thing that I think is
worth every single penny that I've purchased for many, many
years is Aritzia sweatsuits, so sweaters, sweatpants, anything from like
their lounge collection. I am still obsessed with to this day.
I still wear sweatpants that I've purchased like five or
seven years ago that I still think is amazing quality.
And again, Aritzia does have some affordable things, and I
do think their sweatsuits are honestly not terrible, and for
what you're paying, you're getting long term use out of it, right,
Like I've purchased multiple gray sweatpants and gray hoodies from them,
and a lot of the gray hoodies that I have
from them are literally from when I was like in
high school. I'm not even over exaggerating, like I literally
am obsessed. Actually maybe not high school, probably college, but
still like seven to eight years I've owned this and
I'm obsessed with it. So I think Aritzia lounge Wear
is one hundred percent worth it, and the quality is
ten out of ten. Another thing I love is my
Solomon sneakers. I wear my Solomon sneakers basically every single
day to my workout classes on my walks. They're so comfortable.
I love that they're a string kind of like tie situation,
so it's got like this little clasp that you just
like pull towards your feet and you don't have to
use laces, and I just think it's an easy way
to like slip on your shoes and like not have
to get down tie the laces. I know that sounds lazy,
but it is kind of nice just to like slip
on the shoe and not have to worry about tying them.
I also just love the look of them. In the beginning,
I really wasn't sure about them. I'm like, ooh, it's
kind of giving, like hiking shovabe. But then I don't know.
I saw a bunch of people wear them. I mean,
Hailey Bieber was wearing them at one point, and like
she made them so so popular, I'm pretty sure, so
I'm obsessed with them. I would literally have them in
three different colors and I wroteape between all three colors
based off of my workoutset that I'm wearing. But they
are a very comfortable shoe and I can wear it
for like hours when I'm walking and never complain. So
I do think the Solomon sneakers are worth the investment.
Brandy Melville Okay, I think Brandy Melville is amazing. Their
price point is incredible. I'm devastated that we don't have
one in Ottawa anymore. That literally broke my heart when
they shut that store down, because I would go all
the time. It's the best spot for basics, basic tanks,
basic shorts, basic anything like plannels, like everything that I
purchased from Brandy again still to this day, I still own,
I still use even like pajama wear, lounge shorts. Anyways,
I think Brandy Melville is worth the hype in my opinion,
I can see why people line up in the change
room such right thing is on or just purchase things
because the price point is unbeatable and great for basics. Okay,
the next two things are things that I do for
like self care purposes. If I'm going to a wedding
or some type of event and I want to feel
like hot as fuck, like I want to feel like
I feel like my hotest self, I feel like I've
done like a glow up overnight, I'm going to get
a gel manicure or acrylic nails. You guys know, I
get that done literally every single month. That's a non
negotiable for me, but worth every single penny. But another
one is spraytnds. And I don't really get spray tans
in the summer just because my tan is natural. I
don't use tanning moose nothing like. I am all of
skin tone, so I get very very tanned in the
summer or whenever I'm in the sun. But in the winter,
if I'm going to some type of an event or
honestly a monthly basis, I will probably get a spray
tan just to boost my confidence. But spraytan, oh my god,
spray tans are so worth it. I love having a tan.
I feel like a tan makes me feel ten times
better about myself. I feel like I've gotten a glow
up immediately. Whenever I have a tan. Right now, I
definitely feel my most confident self because I'm very tanned
from the summer and the sun. So again, I'm not
even like I hadn't really been tanning a lot this year,
to be honest, It's just like when I'm on my
walks or when I'm constantly outside, I am just getting
a bunch of sun again just from being outside and
working outside. So the sun just loves my skin, which
I'm very grateful for. But a tan does wonders to
your confidence, So I feel like a spray tan is
definitely worth doing if you're going to some type of event,
or if you're just needing a boost of confidence, or
if you're going to a wedding. I think spray tans
are worth it. This coffee machine was worth every single
penny worth the investment, one hundred percent. I have been
using my Delongi espresso machine. It's called the La Specialista
coffee machine, and it's a touch screen. You can program
your coffee beans based off the specific type of bean
that is on the coffee bag. So I think the
bean that I have is a medium row, So you
can program that into the machine and it will automatically
register that bean into your espresso being brewed. So when
they brew the espresso shot, they literally base it off
of what exact bean it is, so the grind size
is based off of that specific bean, which is so
nice because the manual one that I had before. So
I had the Bravel coffee machine, which was great, but
I didn't have the touch screen. I only had the
manual one. So the manual one is way harder to
do because every time you try a different coffee bean,
you have to like adjust the grind size, adjust everything,
and I feel like you never get the perfect match
because if you're not someone that like becomes overly obsessed
with the machine, it's really hard to figure it out.
Whereas I feel like the delongy one is like very
user friendly for someone like me who like doesn't want
to spend hours learn how to use the machine. I
just put in the bean, put in the details of
what kind of bean it is, what tip of roast
it is, all that, and it literally will adjust the
grind size based off of that and then pour my
double shot of espresso. And it's perfect every single time.
So I do think that was worth every single penny.
It's not cheap, I'll be honest. I mean, every coffee
machine is an investment, but I definitely feel like it's
made my coffees really really good. I mean, right now,
I haven't been in a good coffee kick just because
I haven't mastered my at home coffee lately, so I
feel like I've been buying a lot of coffees, which
whatever it is, what it is, I will get back
into a coffee routine eventually when I do make a
coffee with this coffee machine, I love it, and I
do think it's worth every single penny. I did just
get this recently, and I did get a gifted so
I didn't actually purchase this, but I will say after
two weeks of using it. I really really love it.
And I can see why everybody you know hypes about
this product. And that's the or ring. It is so good, guys.
The newest one is a lot slimmer, a lot less
like bulky. I've actually never owned the previous or ring,
but my best friend has the old or ring, and
the difference between the size is actually insane. They've done
a really really good job of making it just look
like more of a normal piece of jewelry versus like
this massive, chunky ring. And I love the capabilities of
the app of just like figuring out your sleep score,
being able to track my steps every time I'm doing
any type of movement. It will like notify me being like, oh,
you were doing activity, please log this and I'll be like, okay,
I did pilates. It will tell me how many calories
I burn, even though like I don't really care about
that stuff, but like it will just like program everything
and like notify you when like you're doing something or
like give you updates of like oh my god, you've
reached your activity goal for the day or your walking
step goal for the day. Like I don't know. I
think it's great. I have never been a big like
smart watch person. I don't really love the look of
like the garment or the Apple Watch. It's just like
not for me. I don't want to wear a big
smart watch on my wrist all the time. Like it's
just not something that I like. So the oor ring
is definitely like more of a like chic way of
still being able to like track your activity and everything
else that you want to track when it comes to
your health. So I think it also does like your
heart rate, which is really great. So all in all,
really really great. I love the technology and I'm very
very happy with it. I've talked about this product probably
a thousand times, but I think it's worth every single penny.
I just probably bought my fifth bottle. But the road
glazing milk is amazing. I'm obsessed with it. I honestly
love it before doing a full beat as well, Like
I always put that on my face before I do
my mai. I just find it creates a more natural glow.
And I don't know, the road spray is also really good.
It's kind of like a glowy face miss and I
do that before I put my makeup on, after I
put my makeup on. I think it's amazing. Haley did
a great job with that product, and I will continue
to replan that product every single time. And what's nice
is that it is somewhat affordable too. The pricing is
not outrageous. So yeah, I really really like the road
glazing milk. I actually don't own this, but I've been
using my sister's Shark Beauty Flex styling air dryer, and
i think it's better than the dicing guys. Like, I
own the dice In, and I'm starting to hate it, Okay,
I'm starting to not like it, and I think I
might buy the Sharp Beauty Flex for myself because I
use my sisters a few times, Like if I'm at
her house and i'm you know, swimming in the pool,
I'll take a shower after and I'll just like use
her Sharp Beauty wand or whatever, and it's incredible and
it's like half the price of the dice In. So
I think the Shark Beauty Company did a great job
with the stiling air dryer and I'm obsessed with it.
Next is Prime Video, but with no ads. We paid
a little bit more for our Prime Video subscription and
with the no ads, okay, let's be honest, it's ten
times better. I hate watching a TV show or watching
a movie and then oh, here's a sixty second ad
of three different ads that you're supposed to watch while
you're watching a movie. Like, it's the most annoying thing ever.
So just pay the extra for the no ads. It's
worth it. And yeah, I use Prime Video all the
time for jeans. I feel like genes is something that
people like to invest in or just like have a
good pair of denim. I actually really like Aritzia's brand,
Denim Form. I've purchased a lot of Denim Form jenes
and again I've bought in a pair like from four
years ago, three years ago, still wear to this day.
Donna is great to invest in because you're gonna have
it for such a long time, and I don't know,
I think it's worth the money. I wear mine all
the time, and the quality is very very good. I
love the wash of the jeans, the fit of the jeens.
All that. I'm very much into low rise denim right
now or mid rise high rise is not for me.
I'm a short waisted girl, so I feel like when
I do a high waisted gene it like cuts off
half my waist, so I'm more of a low rise
midriise situation. But I love Denim Forum. It's a great
brand and you can get it off with Ritzia. I
get a lot of compliments on this bag that I use.
It's more of a casual tote. You can use it
like for going to the beach or for workout classes.
It kind of looks like a canvas blank toe and
I have my initials on it, which is ks. My
sister actually got it for me for my birthday a
few years ago. But I think it's around fifty to
sixty dollars. You can customize it. You can put your
full name, you can put your initial It's from the
brand LLL Bean and they have different colors. You could
do a beige bag with like blue straps, red straps,
green straps. They also have like the mini version of
them too. I would honestly get every single size, and
to be honest, I definitely think I'll purchase the mini
one and the larger one because you can obviously use
it for different purposes. But great bag, one hundred percent
worth it. I love the monogram touch. I think the
personalized detail is so cute and so chic. So the
Canon G seven X. I think everybody has talked about
this camera. It is worth it. I actually have owned
two of them. I have broke both of them. I
need a new one, to be honest, I just honestly
haven't even thought about purchasing it again. But I do
want it really badly because it really is the best
camera when it comes to vlogging, when it comes to
getting flash photos, it's literally the best camera in my opinion.
So if you're wanting to get a good quality camera
for whether you want to start your influencing career on YouTube,
or if you want to have better quality flash photos
for nighttime picks when you're on vacation or anything like that,
the Canon G seven X is actually one hundred percent
worth of money Apple iCloud Storage. I pay a pretty
penny every single month. Well, when I say pretty penny,
I think it's like forty nine dollars. But I pay
for like five teabytes of storage. Yeah, five tearabytes of
storage on top of the biggest iPhone storage that I
already have. But I have so many photos in videos
on my phone for obvious reasons. I film my life.
I film basically literally every single day. I have things
from when I first started my influencing career. I have
stuff from my wedding. I don't want to delete those things.
And everyone's like, just put everything on a hard drive,
and I get it. I totally get it. But I
like to have access to those clips because, like, if
for some reason I want to use footage for ADO,
especially except for my wedding, I want to be able
to like have access to it very easily, just off
my phone. So I have debated on buying a second phone,
which I think is honestly the best situation for me personally.
But the storage has been great. I will say buying
the storage has been incredible. The odd time I will
get a notification just saying you need to clear out
the videos, which is fine. I'll take like an hour
and I'll just like delete like ten thousand videos and
I'll be good to go. But it is worth every
single penny. If you're someone that you know does take
a lot of photos or videos and like needs the storage,
or if you're someone that downloads a lot of apps
that are you know, big in storage purposes, get the
iCloud storage, the brand, the accuteinte. I know it's in French.
I'm probably pronouncing it wrong, but their shower oil is
by far my favorite product. I have worked with this
brand a thousand times, but I actually think the product
is worth the money as well. I literally buy it
all the time when I need to replant it. The
shower oil is legit, incredible, smells amazing. My body feels
so hydrated and so smooth after using it. So this
is my go to shower oil whenever I'm in the shower.
I love it. It's great, It's incredible. Another Apple product
that I love is air tags. Air tags are worth
the money, especially if you're someone that loves to travel.
I feel like every time I'm traveling, I'm so happy
with the purchase of an air tag because I can
just look on my phone. I feel reassured. I don't
feel anxious. I'm like, Okay, the bag's here, if the
bank isn't here, I don't have to wait for like
an hour at the bag pickup and just like make
the assumption of like, oh, I guess my bag isn't here, right,
and then I have to walk to the counter an
hour later fill out the paperwork of when they're going
to have to drop off my baggage whenever it gets
back to the airport. If I land and I see
that my bag is still in Paris for an example,
I'm gonna be able to go to the counter immediately
and just save myself an hour of waiting that my
bag didn't make it, or whenever my bag, you know,
has made it. It's nice because it will literally detect
when you're in close proximity to it, so when it's
getting off the carrier, so worth every single penny if
you travel, air tags are great. I love my Kindle.
I wish I was using it more, but I don't
honestly read as much as i'd like to, just because
I feel like life gets so busy. But whenever I'm traveling,
I always bring my Kindle with me, or if I'm
on a road trip, or if we're driving anywhere for
a long distance, I'm always bringing my Kindle everywhere. I
just love how everything is just on one little tablet.
I also love the size of a kindle. It's obviously
not as big as an iPad, but it's not too
small where it's like the size of an iPhone. It
feels like the perfect size. And I love when I'm
like out in the sun tanning, I could read my
book and with the kindle it doesn't affect the screen,
like the screen I think is like light resistant or
something that because whenever I'm in the sun, I can
read off the tablet no problem, Like I never have
an issue with it, So kindles are worth it. Obviously.
I love a book as well, Like it's nice to
obviously have a hardcover book and like read from it.
But if you find a kindle just like easier to
travel with and like not have to bring two or
three books in your carry on or in your suitcase.
You can just bring a tablet and download all three
books on it. So anyways, love my kindle. This next
one is a very expensive purchase. I'm very very aware
of it. But this has been on my Pinterest board,
I think for the past seven years. Like I'm not
even over exaggerating, because I feel like whenever Instagram became
a big thing, obviously I followed a lot of influencers
and like people from tumblror whatever. I'm just kind of
thinking like back in the day, and I have always
been obsessed with things from Kurtie, like Kurtshae rings, Krtsche bracelets,
Kurtchie watches, And again, I know it's so freaking expensive.
It's it's crazy expensive. It is not something that's cheap
at all. But I did splurge and purchase two rings
from Kurcha for Christmas, and I'm very very happy with
the purchase. I'm like so in love. I have had
these rings pinned on my Pinterest board again for like
seven years, So it took me seven years to finally
just like pull the trigger by it, you know, and
it was worth every single penny. Like, I'm obsessed with them.
I think it's a jewelry piece that will be a
part of my collection forever. If I ever have a
daughter one day, I feel like that's something that I
could pass along to her or you know, a future
daughter in law. Who knows, right, I just I am
obsessed and I feel like it's a piece of jewelry
that I will have forever. And I know it's so expensive,
but I'm very happy with my purchase and I don't
regret any of it. Anywhere, caffeine makeup forever, lipliner, Anywhere,
caffeine is the color, okay, the lip color of anyone.
Caffeine is the perfect neutral, everyday lipliner. In my opinion,
this was a lipliner. I think Hilly Beeber probably sold
it out because that's what she does. But anyways, if
you guys can't tell, I love Hilly Bieber, She's my
INSFO love her to death. But anyways, she posted about
this on social media, I'm pretty sure, and I became addicted.
I immediately became addicted. I use it literally every single day.
It is my everyday lipliner. If you guys are seeing
a lip combo that you like on me, it's most
likely that because I don't typically change up my makeup,
I feel like I'm like pretty consistent with just wearing
the same thing. So it's from the brand Makeup Forever.
It's called Anywhere Caffeine. It's incredible if you want a
neutral lipliner. Another lip product that I discovered through working
with the brand, and now I always buy it at
Shopper's drug Mart because I love it. But the lrel
lip plumper, Wow, it is incredible. If you want your
lips look a little bit juicier, a little bit plumpier
without doing the lip filler, this is the product that
you need to get. I always use this lip plumper
from Loriel. I wear it with the Anywhere Caffeine makeup
Forever lipliner. They have a few different shades. They also
have a clear gloss, but it's more of a gloss,
like a shimmer to it, and it's got a plump.
It's got a bit of a burn, a little bit
of a tingle, but it always looks so good whenever
I'm going out, so highly recommend. It's like a drug
store fine. And I'm obsessed with a crop Shop Boutique
workout sets. I've talked about this workout set brand so
many times. I literally have my entire active work collection
from them. Most likely. I do obviously have other brands
as well, but I would say I consistently wear crop
Shot Boutique. I wear this brand almost every single week
basically because every time I'm looking for a workout set,
I'm just like always like gravitating towards those workout sets
because they're comfortable, they're chic, they're cute, and and the
brand's actually Australian and I don't know, I just feel
like the Australian girlies know where it's at, like in
terms of like style and fit and all that, so
I think it's worth the investment, worth every single penny.
I love the quality of the active wear, and I've
been like supporting the brand for like the past I
want to say, four or five years. Redkin Shampoo and Conditioner.
I got hooked from this shampoo conditioner from my hairstylists.
She got me on it, and I get it usually
just from Amazon. But that is literally the only shampoo
and conditioner I will ever use on my hair because
I feel like it never makes my hair greasy. I
feel like my hair is always feeling hydrated, never dry,
and I don't know, I just feel like my hair
looks always shiny after using it. As well, I don't
really use a specific one. I kind of rotate with
different ones for like different purposes. So if I've colored
my hair, I'll use like the one that's like color protected.
If I'm feeling like my hair is dry for some reason,
I'll use something more hydrating. I think they have a
gloss one as well, where it like makes your hair
more glossy. So I've kind of used a lot of
different purposes of the Redkin shampoo and conditioner, but I
love the brand. The hatch Alarm clock. You guys know
my love for the Hatch alarm clock. That was probably
one of the best purchases I've ever made. I literally
use it every single morning, every single night. I rely
on that thing twenty four to seven. If I don't
have that on vacation, which obviously I don't bring my
Hatch alarm clock on vacation, but I miss it, Like
I'm like, oh, you know, I have my white noise
that I play at night. I have a specific alarm
that I like to wake up to. I love just
the features that it has. I've also done like a
nervous system reset on it, some meditation. There's just so
many benefits, like the red light benefits. So yeah, I
highly recommend the Hatch. I think it's worth every single penny.
That is like a great Christmas gift or Birthday gift
if you're wanting a good alarm clock. I know it
kind of sounds crazy to spend two hundred dollars on
alarm clock, but it's more than just an alarm clock.
It does so much more. I love that. It's also
it's all based off of an app on your phone,
so everything's connected through that, and I just like created
a sleep schedule for myself and everything, like it will
notify me when it's like it's time to unwind, it's
time to go to bed, whatever. So great great investment.
Destination wedding. This is obviously a very interesting one, but
I wanted to put this one there because I think
doing a destination wedding is the best decision ever. Like
I still think about my wedding to this day. I
still think about how much I spent on my wedding,
and I'm like, and I will never disclose that to
be honest, but like it was worth every single penny
that I paid, Like every single penny I paid for
that wedding. I was like, that was the best decision ever.
I do not regret at whatsoever. Everything about it just
makes me feel some type of way. I literally almost
get emotional when I think about my wedding because that
was truly the best month of my life. Like it
wasn't just a day, it was a month. Because thinking
about all the people that came down from Ottawa to
Italy to celebrate me and my husband, and like having
all those people there throughout the entire trip was just
so magical, Like we were together for ten days straight
doing all these fun things together, and then Zach and
I ended up going off and doing our honeymoon two
weeks after, so we were there for basically a month.
But it was just so nice to be with everybody
in a different country, and I think it just like
brings you and your friends so much closer together and
you realize how much of an impact they are to
your life. And I don't know, it just really is
the best decision. Like if you're in the process of
trying to plan a wedding or figure out what you
want to do, obviously a wedding here or in your
hometown is very much okay, But I personally think a
destination wedding is the best and I feel like there's
never any of regret at all, and it's just the best.
I don't know, that's the best thing. That's the best
thing I can say is just like it really is
the best trip of your life, is basically what I
would describe it as. I do love to get baby
bow talks. I love baby boat talks. I think it's
so great. It's again just a little thing that I
like to do every single year. I actually don't go
as often for touchups I go once a year. I
don't do it like every few months, but I do
really like to get it just in my forehead, just
a little confidence boost for myself. Again, not everybody does it,
and that's fine, but it's just something that I like
to do for myself. So I support anyone's decision of
what they want to do, but I love baby boat
talks and I do it on a yearly basis. The
last thing that I think is worth every single penny
that I actually just did recently is a hair gloss
and haircut. I did get a haircut for eight months.
I don't know why I did that to myself. That
was like literally the stupest thing ever. I got a
good chop, Okay, the way my confidence went from like
thirty percent to like eighty five percent was crazy. I
needed that chop so badly. But the hair gloss, like
I couldn't get over how healthy my hair looks like.
It really does bring your hair to life. Again. It's very,
very crazy how it works. But I think it's only like,
at least at the hair salon I go to, I
think it's only like twenty five bucks for the hair
gloss and it lasts like four to six weeks. If
I could go every four to six weeks, I would,
But I don't know if that's damaging to the hair
or not. But hair glosses are great, especially if you
like don't want to dye your hair and you just
like want something that's going to like make your hair
look shinier, healthier. Do the hair gloss. Ask your hairdresser
about it. I'm sure most hair salons have a hair gloss,
but it is incredible and does wonders to your hair.
All right, those are thirty things that are worth every
single penny in my opinion. Of course, everyone has your
own opinion when it comes to things. But I just
wanted to share that because again, there was a TikTok
trend about it, and I figure I would share here
on the podcast things that I've been loving that I
think are worth the splurge and things that I've maybe
purchased for the past few years, or things that has
recently been a discovery for me that I love. So
