1
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:14,359
Speaker 1: Hello you guys.

2
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,399
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of the Hawkerel Energy Podcast.

3
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:19,920
I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is your weekly reminder

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,559
that it's a new day, a new week, a new mindset,

00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,760
and another day for you to become the Hawkerel Energy

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,719
you want to attract. We are officially home from Costa Rica.

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,600
I promise you guys a little recap of the trip.

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,719
I'm here with my sister. Hi, she's back. That's your

9
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:41,560
little recap. So we got home Friday, Yeah, last Friday,

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,960
and we had the weekend to kind of just like

11
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:45,159
decompressed from the trip.

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: We got home pretty late.

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got home at like, I want to say, midnight. Yeah,

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,560
I was in bed. I looked at the time it

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,479
was like one am or something like that. Yeah. Same here,

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,520
because by the time you get home, bring your suitcase up, unpacked,

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,679
like your toilet creeze, like brush your teeth and whatever.

18
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,079
And by the time you get in bed and all that,

19
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:03,880
I feel like it just was like it was one am.

20
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, we got home pretty late. I don't

21
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:09,200
know what you did Saturday.

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I spent the whole morning unpacking because I just

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,879
wanted to like get it out of the way, and

24
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:18,879
one thing we do. I don't know if everyone else

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,879
does this, but typically what I do is I put

26
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:25,920
I separate all my dirty clothes and my clean clothes. Yeah,

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,519
but even with my clean clothes, I'll still do like

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,359
a quick round, yes, in the dryer for like fifteen minutes,

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,079
just to like wash off anything that.

30
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: All the germs. Yeah.

31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,879
Speaker 2: So that's what I did in the morning, and then

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,760
I just like unpacked all of my toilet trees and honestly,

33
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:47,879
it felt so good to like completely unpack.

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,959
Speaker 1: Everything unpacked by like nine am. Yeah.

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: I remember I called Kaylee and I was like, I'm

36
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:54,439
completely unpacked and she was like, what, Like.

37
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: I didn't start.

38
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't start till like eleven. Like I always

39
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:00,879
do an unpack the day after because I just want

40
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:02,000
to get out of the way. As you said, yeah,

41
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,560
if I don't do it right away, it will just

42
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:06,519
sit on the floor in my room and just collect us.

43
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:09,639
Well for me too, I also had to catch up

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,080
with work on the weekend, so I told myself, Okay,

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,159
Saturday is just going to be like unpacking work, like

46
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:19,520
all the things I don't really want to do, but

47
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:21,919
get it out of the way on Saturday. That way,

48
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,159
Sunday I can just chill. Yeah, that's what I wanted

49
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:28,919
to do. So I unpacked all morning and then pretty

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,439
much the rest of the day I just caught up

51
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,319
on work stuff and then yeah, I was done really early,

52
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:36,120
which was great.

53
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:37,879
Speaker 1: And then Sunday I just chilled. Yeah.

54
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I started unpacking it like eleven, did everything probably

55
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:41,919
within the hour.

56
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:42,439
Speaker 1: Same thing.

57
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:46,759
Speaker 2: I separated all like my bikinis and whites and darks

58
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,360
for like putting it in the laundry. And I did

59
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,719
a whole load of laundry on Saturday and literally just

60
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,120
like chilled, watched the Olympics with Zach.

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: Like it was a very chill day.

62
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but anyways, let's going it back to Costa Rica.

63
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:01,560
We stayed at a hotel called the W Hotel, which

64
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,159
is owned by a Marriotte.

65
00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: So it was a beautiful.

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,319
Speaker 2: Hotel, so like it was so so nice. The hotel

67
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,639
was pretty new from our understanding, a few years or so. Yeah, yeah,

68
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120
I was a few years old, and it was just

69
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:19,240
like such a beautiful part of Costa Rica. We had

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,599
the mountain views, the beach had zero seaweed, which I

71
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:26,199
feel like it's really hard to find this time of

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,039
the year. I feel like Mexico is a you know,

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,800
that time of the year for us when we travel

74
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,080
to Mexico, there's always a lot of seaweed, you know,

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,840
to Cana. Yeah, Puda Cana too. And we literally just

76
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:38,159
kept saying the whole time, like it was really giving

77
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,319
like Cabo.

78
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Vibes, like with the mountains.

79
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, neither of us have been to Cabo,

80
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,199
but like based on pick pictures, it was kind of

81
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:49,199
giving that vibe, which we love that vibe, so it

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:49,639
was kind of.

83
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,319
Speaker 1: Nice to have that.

84
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:54,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, And Costa Rica's food was incredible.

85
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: One thing for us is that we go away every

87
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,520
time around this time. Yeah, we always like itch for

88
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,080
a winter trip, just because obviously it's very cold here and.

89
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:06,759
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just need some time to get away. And

90
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:07,360
I truly do fine.

91
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: It helps for mental health, like just paying for that trip,

92
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:12,360
getting that one week out of this forward to yeah,

93
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,080
getting that one week away and just like enjoying some sunshine,

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,959
Like I feel a lot better coming back with the

95
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,800
tian and just like feeling really good. But I would

96
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560
say this was probably my favorite winter trip that I've

97
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,959
ever been on, only because the beaches was. The beach

98
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240
was really good, the food was really good, the service

99
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:29,920
was great.

100
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,959
Speaker 1: The hotel was beautiful.

101
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: Like I will say, typically on any other vacation we've

102
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,079
been on in the winter, I don't really look forward

103
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,000
to any of the meals, like dinner, Like I'm not

104
00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:44,920
really like, oh my god, I'm so excited to eat.

105
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,319
Speaker 1: But it was kind of trip. It's like survival moment.

106
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, this trip, I kid you not. I was so

107
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:56,279
excited for dinner every single night, and for our breakfast.

108
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,360
We had the most amazing breakfast. Like I We'll say

109
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,079
breakfast and dinner were just the two meals I was

110
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,600
so excited for and like looking forward to.

111
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,879
Speaker 1: And I typically don't, I think with the.

112
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,959
Speaker 2: All inclusives, like we always say, like the first day

113
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,079
is that day. We were really experimenting, yeah, like anything

114
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,759
and everything, and it's kind of stressful, especially because when

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,160
you're traveling you don't really know how.

116
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:22,959
Speaker 1: Your stomach's going to handle certain things either.

117
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:26,759
Speaker 2: So this resort, it wasn't an all inclusive, but we

118
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,319
thought it might have been a better choice for our

119
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,399
family to not do an all inclusive, just because we

120
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:35,160
don't really eat not very much or drink a lot.

121
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:37,720
Like if you love to drink and you love to

122
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:40,399
eat like big portions, I totally get it, Like so

123
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:42,360
worth the money when you do an all inclusive, But

124
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:45,720
for us, like Madison and I would like literally eat breakfast,

125
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:48,839
have literally the smallest lunch ever, Like we would barely

126
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,439
get any food, and then dinner we'd just have like

127
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:53,800
a pasta and pizza or I don't even know, like

128
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:55,639
we just didn't we don't really get like a bunch

129
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,639
of appetizers. Yeah, what was really nice is that our

130
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:02,439
hotel kind of organized a lot of things. And one

131
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,360
of the things it organized was a shuttle to take

132
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:08,759
you to grocery store shopping. So that was really nice

133
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,399
for us because we did that what the second day,

134
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,439
and we were able to get like little snacks like

135
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,360
chips and just the little things. That way, you know,

136
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,480
if we had a small lunch and we were still hungry,

137
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,480
we could just lunch on some chips or whatever. I

138
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,319
will say, the only con about this hotel is that

139
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,079
it only had three restaurants. Yeah, which typically an inclusive

140
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,120
I think there's like five to seven to choose from,

141
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,439
So that's typically.

142
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Kind of nice.

143
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,319
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, all three restaurants

144
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,680
were incredible, Like, nothing bad to say about it.

145
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,439
Speaker 1: I just think it kind of limits your options.

146
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: And we didn't really leave the resort only because it

147
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,040
was our first time in Costa Rica and the whole

148
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:49,040
purpose of this trip was really for us to like relax,

149
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,160
get some sun, go to the ocean, go in the pool,

150
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,800
like we didn't really like care to do like hikes

151
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,959
and waterfalls. And don't get me wrong, there's a lot

152
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,319
of amazing things that you could do in Costa Rica

153
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:02,040
that we planned to do the next time we visit. Yeah,

154
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:03,480
I think like as it was our first time, we

155
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,079
kind of just we didn't really know. But I will

156
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,720
say and me and Kelly were both saying this that

157
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:10,639
by the last day I was bored.

158
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got our relaxation in.

159
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: So if I were to ever go back to cost Rico,

160
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,079
which I hope we do, yeah, I would maybe do

161
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:20,959
one or two days of excursions and then other days

162
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,759
relaxing because then I probably by the last day I

163
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,000
wouldn't feel bored because we would have had other stuff

164
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,800
to do. But I swear literally the last day I

165
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:32,439
was like sunned out. Yeah, I was kind of getting bored.

166
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,560
I was like looking forward to actually going home. Like

167
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,480
the first three to four days of like reading our

168
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:40,480
book Chilling on the Beach. I loved that, and then

169
00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:42,160
like as Madison said, the last two days we were

170
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:44,519
kind of like, now I will see. The hotel did

171
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:50,199
offer fun things to do, like forest back writing, atv ziplining.

172
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,959
Speaker 1: Which is amazing, a golf course, but I.

173
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:55,199
Speaker 2: Personally was telling Maddie like I didn't want to risk

174
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,120
my back injury with those things. All I could think

175
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,360
about was the horseback riding and me like just kind

176
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:02,360
of like tweaking my back the wrong way based off

177
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,600
of how the horse goes because they were like jumping

178
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,600
waves in the ocean, which is so cool. And then

179
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,360
like again ATVing, I don't know, I just kind of

180
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,959
got a little stress where I'm like, I don't think

181
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,959
I should risk this if my back, you know, gets

182
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,000
worse than it already is. It's definitely better, but it

183
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:18,639
just I wasn't willing to take that right.

184
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:21,439
Speaker 1: We did do beach yoga because I wanted to do something,

185
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:23,519
so we did do beach yoga.

186
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: I've never done beach yoga before, and I will say

187
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:30,240
very peaceful and so nice, like the whole time, I

188
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,120
will say it was hard to hear the instructor because

189
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,840
of the waves, but also too, I love the sound

190
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,440
of the waves. Yeah, it was really nice, very calming,

191
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,759
and yeah, it was just it was beautiful. Yeah, so

192
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,840
ten out of ten recommend Costa Rica. We really loved

193
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:48,000
a resort. I can link it in the description of

194
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:50,919
this podcast episode for anyone that's looking to book future travels.

195
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,200
But we really loved it and we definitely would go

196
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:57,360
back in the future. So yeah, but now we've been

197
00:08:57,399 --> 00:08:59,279
trying to get back into routine. We've been trying to

198
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,399
get back into this swing of things. We were kind

199
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:05,000
of chatting on FaceTime when was it yesterday, just kind

200
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,960
of like chatting about how sometimes it can be hard

201
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,919
to get back into a routine post travels because you

202
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,720
build a routine on a trip. Like of course, Madison

203
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,080
and I would wake up, we'd go in a morning walk,

204
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,559
we outside, which is like amazing, and sometimes we'd walk

205
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,519
on the beach and then we'd go for breakfast, you know,

206
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:24,840
order our favorite breakfast that we loved at the restaurant,

207
00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:28,279
and then you come back to reality and we're like, oh, okay,

208
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:29,720
we got to go back to what we were doing

209
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:34,080
before and getting ourselves back into that motivation of like

210
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,840
getting back into a workout routine or.

211
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: Whatever the case thing is.

212
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I will say, for me, this has probably

213
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,200
been the most unproductive week I've ever had because I'm

214
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,559
trying to just get back into my routine. Like I'm

215
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,879
not working out very consistently. I feel like I'm struggling

216
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,919
to focus with work, Like everything just feels so chaotic

217
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,200
and off because I'm an off yeah, and I'm just

218
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,080
I'm not like usually when I'm home, I had this

219
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,200
routine that I like to do every single day, and

220
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:06,799
I've really been struggling with that. But I feel like

221
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,200
it's also so normal when you come back from a trip,

222
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:13,039
Like everything's so chaotic. You're trying to get back into

223
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,120
that routine that you had before your trip, and I've

224
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:19,519
just accepted it that this is a week, Like I

225
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,320
feel like today is actually the first day where you know,

226
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,039
I finally feel productive. Yeah, well, even think about it,

227
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:27,840
it's not even about like a workout routine too. It's

228
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:30,000
like you're getting back into the swing of things for work,

229
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:31,679
and like you've just missed a week of work, so

230
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,879
now you're trying to catch up, playing catch up. Yeah,

231
00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:35,639
same thing with me with my job, right Like I'm

232
00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:38,000
getting all these texts from my manager saying like Okay,

233
00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:39,120
I got to do this this, and I was like,

234
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:41,600
oh my god, Like you feel almost overwhelmed exactly. And

235
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,600
then it's like, how do you fit everything with like

236
00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:47,399
your workout routine, your you know, your work routine, whatever

237
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:47,960
the case is, just.

238
00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:49,399
Speaker 1: Your day to day routine.

239
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,799
Speaker 2: Like I just feel like everything's you can't be too

240
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:53,600
hard on yourself during this time of the year, Like

241
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:57,879
you really just have to accept the small short period

242
00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:00,519
of time that you're feeling a little overwhelmed and just

243
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,399
kind of slowly get back into Yeah, and I will

244
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,120
say the sun is worth it. Oh no, I feel

245
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,039
unproductive for a week for sun.

246
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,639
Speaker 1: It's fine. No, it was very much worth it.

247
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: I really do feel like the sun healed us, Like

248
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:16,320
I feel so much better and a tan of course the.

249
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,159
Speaker 1: Ten helps, but I feel a lot lot better. And

250
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,080
I feel like.

251
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: That was a much needed break as well, just like

252
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:25,840
getting away, not even just because of the sun, but

253
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:28,519
I think just like relaxing and not having anything to

254
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,799
really think about, Like they just read books every single

255
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:33,759
day and enjoyed each other's coming. The only stress we

256
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:35,919
had was where are we going to sit and what

257
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,840
are we going to eat.

258
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: For breakfast to day?

259
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:40,399
Speaker 2: Do we want the toast, do we want the friends?

260
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:42,240
Do we want an ice lot day? I kept the

261
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,440
Cheetoh both, like like, yeah, this that's the most stressful

262
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,879
part on a trip. But as for me and my routine,

263
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,799
I feel like it's been a little off for me

264
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:53,720
too this week because I've also been making my house

265
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:56,120
a big priority. We're actually signing off on all of

266
00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:59,679
our upgrades today, so that has been really stressful these

267
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,000
past days, just kind of confirming everything for the house

268
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,559
and then like once you sign off, you're done, Like

269
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,279
you can't.

270
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: Go back and change things.

271
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: So I feel like that's obviously really stressful and I'm

272
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,759
a very indecisive person, so.

273
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: It's been a challenge.

274
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: But I'm actually really happy with how the elections went,

275
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,159
and I think it's going to turn out beautiful and

276
00:12:19,759 --> 00:12:21,960
I'm very excited to show you guys some updates on that.

277
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,960
So for me, you know, that's been a bigger priority

278
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,799
for me just kind of finish that off getting back

279
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:29,960
into work. Obviously, I'm still not working out with my back,

280
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,360
so I've been walking every single morning, so I've been

281
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,000
making that a non negotiable and stretching, and yeah, I

282
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,159
don't know, I kind of love jumping back into those

283
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:40,720
things for me, Like, even though it can be difficult

284
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,919
to do everything, I still try and make it a priority,

285
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:46,159
even if it's only for like twenty minutes, like putting

286
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,240
a walk. Like you, for example, you went for a

287
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840
walk this morning, Like, yeah, took that time to like

288
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:53,399
dedicate that time to doing that, and it's you know,

289
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,440
sometimes it can be hard to manage your times effectively,

290
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,399
especially when you jump into a work week that gets

291
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:00,600
really busy from the post travels. But even if you

292
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,000
can dedicate a small portion of your time at night

293
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,960
or on your lunch break, like just finding time to

294
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,200
move your body or journal or meditate whatever like helps

295
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,720
you just kind of like destress. And just like, I

296
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:13,639
don't know, I think it's so important to do that

297
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:16,480
also too. I don't know if you're feeling this way

298
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,559
with work, And it's not just specifically for me with work,

299
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,639
but just like in general, I feel like January felt

300
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,960
very very slow, and then I feel like we went

301
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,360
on our trail and we came back and now it's

302
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,919
like like high speed, like just with everything. Like I

303
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,120
feel like I'm having so many plans with friends, like

304
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,919
birthdays are coming up, you know, people want to see

305
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,039
me after my trip, so it's like dinner plans and

306
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:41,279
I'm like, you know, trying to catch up with work,

307
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,960
and I'm like, we just went from slow to like

308
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,440
high speed in like a week. No January, I was

309
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,960
telling them January was the longest month ever, I know.

310
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,559
And then I actually think our vacation was the perfect

311
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,360
timing because now I feel like we're almost halfway through February,

312
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,480
which is wild.

313
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: What was the thing you told me again?

314
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Like it was like a TikTok or it's like February short,

315
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:05,840
March goes by fast, so it's basically summer. Yeah, it

316
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:10,159
was February's officially here, which means March, which means spring

317
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,759
is basically here with March and April comes around and

318
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,480
things are melting and so it's a basically.

319
00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: Soccer or something like that, which is so true.

320
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: So I do think February is gonna go by so fast,

321
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:21,759
and we're gonna be in March and we're gonna like

322
00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:24,000
what the heck, guys, if like those two months just

323
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:27,720
flew by, but no, January was a very long month

324
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:29,240
and I'm very happy that it's over.

325
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, always is like that.

326
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:36,519
Speaker 2: I always feel like every single year, January, like February

327
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:39,679
is still kind of like not that it's slow, but

328
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:43,320
like you're still in those like winter blues. But January

329
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,080
is just like awful, like remove it from the calendar.

330
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I hate it. I don't want it, you

331
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:48,440
know what.

332
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,679
Speaker 2: I feel like the first week of January and because

333
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:53,720
you're motivated for the new goals, and then you're like, oh,

334
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:56,480
but we're still in January. Oh we're still like it

335
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:58,919
just it feels like it never ends. It's just and

336
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,320
I hate that it goes to the first But anyways,

337
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,600
it's nice that Leapier is not happening this year.

338
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:07,399
Speaker 1: Since February twenty eighth, I believe, yeah, it's gonna be

339
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:07,720
the end.

340
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:10,559
Speaker 2: Which is little nice tweet anything that I'll get us

341
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,039
closer to summer. Because I was telling Gaily about this,

342
00:15:14,279 --> 00:15:18,720
like we were getting such a good tan in Costa Rica,

343
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,759
and I came back and I went out with a

344
00:15:21,799 --> 00:15:24,200
friend for dinner. So I got already and I was

345
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,840
looking at myself in the mirror, and I literally wanted

346
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:29,559
to cry because I was like, this tan's not gonna.

347
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,279
Speaker 1: Last, It's gonna be gone a tweet.

348
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: It's just so sad, Like I just all I want

349
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,480
to do is keep my tan, And like me and

350
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,639
Kaily have been like lotioning every single day, like Killie's like,

351
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:44,240
are you peeling, I'm like, oh, I hope not, Like

352
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,559
I just yeah, I just want to try to keep

353
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,120
the tan for as long as possible. So I've just

354
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:53,879
been lotioning like crazy, and I was literally searching for

355
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,919
like self tanner's, like best self tanners that look real,

356
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,080
because yeah, it's just it's hard. I need summer desperately.

357
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,919
It's not even like like I'm sure not everybody maybe

358
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,720
feels the same way of like they don't need to

359
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,440
be tanned, if confident, wherever the case may be. But

360
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,679
I think because we are all of skin tones, like

361
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:15,879
we're meant to be dark, like we're Italian. So I

362
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,320
feel like for us, like I've seen actually a TikTok

363
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,320
trend where people are like the pros and cons to

364
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:23,159
being olive skin tone, yeah you know cone and it's

365
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,799
like you're literally like, you know, really not yourself and

366
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,039
then you're really tann in the summer, but like that's

367
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,399
what your true you think your true color.

368
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:30,919
Speaker 1: Is, if that makes sense.

369
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,399
Speaker 2: It's funny because I feel like with our skin tone,

370
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:39,559
specifically in the winter, we get so white, yeah, whereas

371
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:42,600
in the summer we get so incredibly tann.

372
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:44,679
Speaker 1: Like it's too extreme. Yeah, exactly.

373
00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: And that's why I think it's hit. It hits us

374
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,840
so different, like, yeah, if you are like a like,

375
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:52,480
if you don't have all of skin tone like us,

376
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:53,919
I feel like it's a little different.

377
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,679
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe yeah, I don't know.

378
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: But for us, it's just it feels like too extremely

379
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,279
it is. It is really too streams and I think

380
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:02,600
that's what gets in our head a little bit.

381
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: But it's like we know our potential in the summer. Yeah,

382
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,319
and so it's.

383
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: Like you're craving that. Don't ever look at pictures of

384
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,119
yourself in the summer. Every time he was like scrolling

385
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:16,640
and I'm like, wow, who is that? Yeah?

386
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: I saw I was pretty. I was pretty in the summer.

387
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,599
Now we're looking okay.

388
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: But anyways, I think it's honestly the mental thing. But

389
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,720
for us, we just feel really good.

390
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: With the tam I kind of wanted to also.

391
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,559
Speaker 2: Chat about Valentines just kind of like some things you

392
00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:37,200
can do with your girlfriend or with your husband to

393
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,759
get yourself in like the Valentine's Day mood. I love

394
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:42,519
this time of the year. I love all the pink,

395
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,759
I love the red cards. There's so many people doing

396
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:46,920
like Valentine's Day launches.

397
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: Of like clothing. I love.

398
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,839
Speaker 2: Hark came out with a really cute, like pink and

399
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,000
red track suit, just like a bunch of like fun

400
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,839
brands have done obviously a lot of like Valentine's Day launches,

401
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,720
and I just think it's so fun to like you. Yeah,

402
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,799
I've been trying a lot of new recipes out, so

403
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:04,960
I've been loving this one recipe.

404
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: That I tried two years ago. It's a Greek yogurt

405
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:13,599
strawberry stuffed chocolate. Yeah you didn't tell me about it. Yes,

406
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,640
it's so good.

407
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: You put maple syrup, Greek yogurt, strawberries, you cut them up,

408
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,880
and then you melt chocolate, put it in the freezer

409
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,440
and you take a bite. And you need to try that.

410
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:25,319
So like something like that, like if you have a

411
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,559
Gallentine's Day thing with your girlfriends this weekend, Like if

412
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:31,079
you need to make a little aptizer or dessert that

413
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,559
is so good. Also, I feel like one thing that

414
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:40,079
always hits, especially during Valentine's Day is a candy salad.

415
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my goodness, I love those.

416
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,039
Speaker 2: When people go to the or the grocery store pick

417
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,880
up all the like like I love those, like those

418
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,359
lips that are like hot hot.

419
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: I forget the hot lips.

420
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: I think is maybe I love those and just like

421
00:18:57,519 --> 00:19:01,559
put a bunch of different candies together and then make

422
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:04,200
a salad. That's also a really good idea for like

423
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,440
a Gallantines thing. I feel like that, love that, and

424
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,440
I love when there's like different like heart shape gummies

425
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,279
or like red cinnamon hearts and you can literally mix up.

426
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:18,640
I used to be so obsessed with cinnamon hearts, Like

427
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:23,319
I would literally stalk up during Valentine's Day for cinnamon

428
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:26,119
hearts because they're seasonal, right, like you can't get them. Well,

429
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,599
maybe you can, but I feel like I would always

430
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,720
stalk up. And then now I feel like I love

431
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:36,160
the taste of them, but I hate that they're like hard,

432
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,960
like a huge handful to shove in your med I'm

433
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:42,160
like a huge cinnamon girl, So like any candy that cinnamon.

434
00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:45,839
I'm like obsessed, And it's just funny because I used

435
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,559
to be so so obsessed with cinnamon hearts. I think

436
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,240
zachs also, yeah, Zach's with cinnamon hearts. But now I

437
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:55,160
feel like I'm like, Okay, I still love the taste,

438
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,839
but I'd rather something chocolate.

439
00:19:57,039 --> 00:19:59,839
Speaker 1: Oh, I'd rather chocolate. Chocolate around. The love chocolate.

440
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,599
Speaker 2: It's an addiction, I know, And especially the Valentine's Day chocolates.

441
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,319
Speaker 1: Oh it's so good. Yeah, they have like these little

442
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,440
hearts that have like stuffed caramel. I do.

443
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,519
Speaker 2: I do love chocolate too, but I've always been like

444
00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:15,440
a hot candy kind of girl, like hot to Mollie's.

445
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,839
My mom brought home Hot to Mollie's yesterday and I

446
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,880
was sitting in bed working on a presentation for work,

447
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,359
and I was like stress working because I was just

448
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,039
trying to get this done and like still playing catch up.

449
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,839
I literally ate the whole I literally eat the whole container.

450
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,759
And I didn't even realize. I was like, oh my god,

451
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:36,119
I'm stress eating. Yeah.

452
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah.

453
00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: Every year, Zach usually gets me flowers and chocolate because

454
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,960
he knows that's two things that are my love language,

455
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,200
and I love it every.

456
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,759
Speaker 1: Single year, like just the small little gesture.

457
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: Also for the single girlies out there, I feel like,

458
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,200
if you know, maybe you're feeling a bit sad that

459
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,160
you don't have a Valentine. Honestly, I think I'm going

460
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,240
to do this for myself is go by myself flowers. Yeah,

461
00:20:58,319 --> 00:21:01,880
I feel like it feels so good go to see

462
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,000
flowers and even buying them for yourself, I feel like

463
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,039
feels even better.

464
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get to pick these. Now.

465
00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: You should go to a cute little floral boutique and

466
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,400
like pick out the ones that you love. Craz a

467
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,039
little arrangement I love instead of like just going to

468
00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:19,680
the grocery door and buying like a random Okay, you

469
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,720
can make one yourself. Feels more personal. You can pick

470
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:25,519
the colors of like the pinks and the reds or whatever,

471
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:27,839
and then maybe make a little tree, like a little

472
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,440
chocolate tree, like what you were saying, or just or

473
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,359
go to bulk barn and like make your own little

474
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,039
candy stash.

475
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:33,559
Speaker 1: I love that.

476
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, are also too, like making something for your bestie

477
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:40,519
like a Valentine's boo.

478
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,039
Speaker 1: Basket or something like that. Yeah, so cute. I love

479
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:43,680
boot baskets.

480
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: That's a great idea, or even just like planning a

481
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,720
little girls night just you and your bestie, doesn't have

482
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,799
to be a big group of people, maybe watching a

483
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:55,319
Valentine's Day themed movie. I have always loved Valentines, and

484
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,759
I've always loved organizing Gallentines because I just think it's

485
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,200
so fun to like organize a little thing but the

486
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,400
girl the girls.

487
00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:05,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and last.

488
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,079
Speaker 2: Year I actually organized with a bunch of my girlfriends

489
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,440
a little Gallantine's Night and we were painting.

490
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: Like we did like a little paint night, and it

491
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:17,440
was like you could get some wine. Yeah, hate something

492
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,799
I do that everybody in pink PJ.

493
00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh it was like a PJ only volunder party

494
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,559
or like sweatpants whatever. But it was definitely like Valentine's

495
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,480
Day PJ themed. And then I think I also did

496
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,200
where everybody bring their own little Valentine's Day treats, so

497
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,319
like one girl brought cookies, like everyone kind of brought

498
00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:39,480
their own thing. And then I had all this paint

499
00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:41,960
set up, and then I got everyone a little canvas.

500
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: We watched a movie.

501
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: And then we just like painted, And I'm trying to

502
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,359
organize the same thing this year. But I feel like

503
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,559
because I've been playing ketch up and like this week

504
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,119
is felt so chaotic, still trying to do it. It

505
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,039
just might be a little last minute, but yeah, I

506
00:22:57,039 --> 00:22:59,799
think that's always so fun. I also love when people

507
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:04,359
paint like mugs, so imagine really a Valentine's Day inspired mug.

508
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,799
Like I saw someone do what are those little hearts,

509
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:12,720
like the ones that have cute little messages sweethearts too sweet?

510
00:23:12,839 --> 00:23:15,519
Yeah whatever or XO x so, like I saw someone

511
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,759
make a mug like that.

512
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,599
Speaker 1: That's so cute, so cute. I love that.

513
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: I've also seen people do like jewelry trays. Oh yeah,

514
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,960
so you like paint like a little jewelry train, like

515
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,920
put your jewelry on. And I've seen one girl do

516
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:34,240
like for like I think it was either her husband

517
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,880
did it or she did it for her husband's ring

518
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,480
and it says like I love you and like you

519
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,079
can put your ring or something like that.

520
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: That's a real wedding ring. That's a really nice Valentine's

521
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,319
they give.

522
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

523
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're married and you want a cute little

524
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:52,279
ringgether or paint it yourself. I mean to get maybe

525
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:54,440
your man not beating it. And maybe that's what it is. Well.

526
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,599
Speaker 2: One thing I love to also do every year, not

527
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,200
necessarily around this time, but just like when I ever

528
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:03,640
throughout the year is I love going to a place

529
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:07,519
where what's it called pottery painting where you like paint

530
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:11,160
something and then they like burn it. Do you know

531
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,000
what I yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's pottery essentially, you know,

532
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:17,319
well there's like a specific name for it that I

533
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,720
can't think of. I don't know, but then it like

534
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,319
after you like essentially burn it or like would fire

535
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,039
it or something like that, it like creates this like

536
00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:29,400
nice like effect.

537
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like glossy, yes exactly.

538
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: So you could totally do that, and it's fun to

539
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,039
do with your girlfriend or your boyfriend. And yeah, I've

540
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:42,000
done that quite a few times and it's so fun.

541
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: We should actually do that.

542
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 2: We've been talking about doing that, and yeah we should

543
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:47,200
some of Like at least the place I've gone to,

544
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,559
they have like mugs, so you all you have to

545
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:50,200
do is just.

546
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: Essentially paint it.

547
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: They have like I'm pretty sure they have bowls, Like

548
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,039
I have a bowl that I made. I have a

549
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,640
jewelry tray as well that I've made, so yeah, you

550
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,880
could just make it Valentine's Day specific.

551
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: I just suck at painting. That's my issue.

552
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, not very good, So I don't know how good

553
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,200
it will turn out, but you know what the efforts there.

554
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying, honestly with that.

555
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 2: I feel like once they like, you know, put it

556
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,319
in the wood fire or whatever it's called, I.

557
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: Do bake it or yeah, I know what you're talking about.

558
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,000
We're trying to explain it like learning.

559
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,519
Speaker 2: I find it like fixes mistakes I don't know, or

560
00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:29,519
it doesn't show that, it doesn't show it as like

561
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,039
prominent because like I made a bowl once and I

562
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:35,839
could have sworn it looked so bad before going in,

563
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,039
and then when they gave it back to me, I

564
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:41,240
was like, wait, this is actually really good.

565
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:44,559
Speaker 1: Oh so maybe they just so Yeah, I don't know.

566
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,039
Speaker 2: Another idea that I do love too is like doing

567
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:49,039
a pizza night with your friends, like doing a heart

568
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:51,359
shape pizza that is so cute and you can make

569
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,319
like multiple different types of pizzas. You can do a

570
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:57,400
pesto pizza, a truffle pizza, pepperoni pizza, whatever, But like

571
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,000
that and like a girl's PJ movie night kind of

572
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:02,000
like that would be so fun to or you could

573
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,039
do that on Valentine's Day, like if you need a

574
00:26:04,079 --> 00:26:07,240
plan with your husband or your boyfriend, like having a

575
00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:08,680
chill night at home. We don't need to go to

576
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,880
a restaurant. Yeah, and like you know, two a dre

577
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,440
and fifty dollars on a dinner. You could just do

578
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,359
a pizza at home.

579
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: Make some pizzas and that's really fun.

580
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: Or you could also do with if you're doing like

581
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,519
a Gallantine's thing with your girlfriends is like each person

582
00:26:21,599 --> 00:26:25,440
make like a cocktail or something like that, like always Valentine's.

583
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,079
Speaker 1: Day themed cocktail.

584
00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: I feel like that's always done around Christmas, but you

585
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,599
could totally also do it Valentine's Day. You could do

586
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,720
like a cinnamon heart mocktail or like cocktail.

587
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,839
Speaker 1: Or something like that. Love that.

588
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: I also love the idea of doing a fondu, like

589
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,000
a chocolate fondu, cutting out fruits, so you could do

590
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:45,880
like seat strawberries. You can make it Valentine's Day theme, right,

591
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,119
you could find like anything breads, like raspberries.

592
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: I love the strawberries.

593
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,559
Speaker 2: You can do bananas like white, like you kind of

594
00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:54,920
like make the color all the theme of Valentine's and

595
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:58,079
do a like that is that's really well.

596
00:26:58,079 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: Again, I'm upsess with chocolate, so maybe that's why. But

597
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,319
I love that idea.

598
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a fun idea of making a Valentine's

599
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:07,960
Day inspired. But I would love to do a Valentine's

600
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,039
But kind of like the same situation with Maddie because

601
00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:12,720
this is like our first week back from our it

602
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,720
feels a little chaotic. I feel like with my house

603
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,799
and all that, I've just been of like overworking myself,

604
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,559
especially with work, trying to catch up on that. I

605
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:22,920
feel like February is also once again flying by, like

606
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,960
as if it's already like almost Valentine's Day. Like I

607
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,359
feel like we came back and it was like almost Valentine's.

608
00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:31,759
Speaker 1: Next week is the third week of February. Yeah, Like

609
00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:33,359
that's insane, that's wild.

610
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:37,599
Speaker 2: Like what Anyways, we're like already halfway through were literally

611
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:40,359
halfway through February, and it feels like February started yesterday.

612
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: I know, it's just crazy. It's so crazy.

613
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: But anyways, that is today's episode. We kind of just
