Hello you guys, 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,440 Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. Today's episode is 7 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,799 going to be about obsessions, things that I'm currently obsessed 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,960 with for the spring season, either things that I've been 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,200 loving or things that I've been hating, because I feel 10 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,359 like I haven't done a podcast episode like this in 11 00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:45,439 a very long time. I think I did an episode 12 00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:48,840 like this maybe a year and a half ago, something similar, 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,000 where I kind of deinfluence you of things that I 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,679 may have tried, whether it's beauty products or wellness trends 15 00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:59,399 that I've tried that some people might really hype up, 16 00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:01,640 but in my opinion it didn't work for me or 17 00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:03,679 I don't like it. So I thought I would be 18 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,640 like really honest here and give my honest feedback on 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,920 things that I've tried that I don't think is worth 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,079 your money or things that I've personally tried that I love. 21 00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:16,200 In a door that I would buy again, or just 22 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000 things again that I'm currently obsessed with that I've recently 23 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,640 either added into my routine or just things that I've 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,879 been doing for a long time that, like I swear by, 25 00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:26,840 I really want to talk about, like this aphoor A 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,239 sale going on. So I feel like I have a 27 00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:30,959 lot of like beauty faves and like makeup and skincare 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,560 faves that I want to share with you guys, along 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,319 with things that I've like recently tried throughout these past 30 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,040 few months. Because obviously I get sent a lot of 31 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,359 PR and I think some influencers are not always like 32 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,040 truthfully honest when it comes to like things being sent 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,560 in and like, don't get me wrong, I always appreciate 34 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,760 when I get PR and I love to try new things, 35 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:50,439 but I would rather tell you guys, like this is 36 00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:52,560 not worth your money, don't go spend it, and not 37 00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:54,959 like try and sell it on you guys, because it's 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,680 not worth the splurge in my opinion. So yeah, just 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,599 kind of like new things that I've gotten recently that 40 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,439 I've tried out that may have not worked for me, 41 00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:05,560 it might work for you. So just be mindful that, 42 00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:07,439 like if I say something that didn't work for me. 43 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:09,719 Don't comment saying like, oh my god, like, what are 44 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:11,479 you talking about? That's the best thing ever? Like that 45 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,280 is your own personal opinion, Like this is just my own, 46 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,400 raw and real, honest experiences of products that I've tried 47 00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:20,360 or things that I've done in the wellness industry that 48 00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:23,520 personally have worked for me or has not worked for me. 49 00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:25,919 Before we get into today's episode, I do want to 50 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,919 just quickly talk about Coachella for a second. Even though 51 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,840 I was not at Coachella this year, I decided to 52 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,879 choose my mental health this year. And if you guys 53 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,520 actually follow me on YouTube, I did actually talk about 54 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,840 this in a YouTube blog I think in the Fall. 55 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000 I think it was a Fall video and I think 56 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,599 it was when the Coachella lineup got released and I 57 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:50,759 was like super super disappointed because obviously Justin Bieber was going, 58 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,680 and I knew mentally before the Coachella lineup was going 59 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:55,639 to be released, I was like, Nope, I'm not going. 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,400 And then I saw Bieber as one of the headliners 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,319 and I'm like, oh my goodness, do I change mind? 62 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:03,159 Do I spend the money? And for those who don't know, 63 00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:05,800 like Coachella is very expensive. The flights are not cheap, 64 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,240 the accommodations are not cheap. The festival passes are obviously 65 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,520 not cheap. When you're there, obviously you're spending money on 66 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,919 food and drinks. When you add it all up, it's 67 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:18,039 almost five thousand dollars. Like it's actually ridiculous, and so 68 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,960 I have paid in the past, We'll be honest about that, 69 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:24,439 but I really was not wanting to spend five thousand 70 00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:26,439 dollars this year. I'm like, I do not see the point, 71 00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,240 like unless a brand for work as a work opportunity, 72 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,599 because obviously my job involves like promoting brands and all that. Like, 73 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,400 if I was given the opportunity of a brand to 74 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:38,759 send me, I would consider it. And I'm going to 75 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840 be truthfully honest here. I've been to Gochella twice. Did 76 00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:43,960 I have a fun time. Absolutely? I think it was 77 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,520 such a cool time, But it was perfect for like 78 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:49,319 my time in my life, which would have been like 79 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,800 what two years ago, having fun whatever. I feel like 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,159 these past two years, I've changed a lot and I'm 81 00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:58,319 just like not a festival person. I've realized that I 82 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,919 don't like to be in like big crowds. I get 83 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:04,120 a little anxious when it gets into that type of environment, 84 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,000 and I don't know, I didn't want to stay up 85 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,599 till like three am every single night. The thing about 86 00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:11,560 Coachella is that there's after parties and whatever, like there's 87 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,759 just like a bunch of stuff going on, like events 88 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,600 that you could attend and all that, and I just 89 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:18,639 didn't want to be in bed by four, wake up 90 00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:21,600 by eleven, and oh do it all again and get 91 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,519 ready do content like it just sounded mentally exhausting. And again, 92 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,439 don't get me wrong, if you've never gone to Coachella, 93 00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:30,519 I highly recommend, like it's a fun experience. I just 94 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:32,480 don't know if I would ever do it again. Even 95 00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:35,360 with Bieber being there my favorite artists of all time, 96 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560 like literally grew up with that man. I'm sure most 97 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,439 of you could agree with that, but like he was 98 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,480 my favorite artist. I thought I was gonna marry him, 99 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:43,839 like literally diehard fan, and I still chose not to go. 100 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,600 I did actually get invited by a brand, which again 101 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,720 I kind of said to myself in the fall that 102 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,439 I was like, Okay, well, maybe if a brand invites me, 103 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,680 I would consider going. I straight up chose my mental 104 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,600 health overgoing to Bieberchella, which is wild because, like low 105 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,680 key in the moment, I was like, I kind of 106 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,639 regret missing bieber Chella, obviously because everyone's been talking about it. 107 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,959 His performance looked amazing. Obviously I love him, and so 108 00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:08,199 it was so nice to see him back on stage 109 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240 and just like see him so happy. But you know, 110 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,120 I really just didn't want to go to Coachella this year. 111 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,319 I'm just really not craving that festival vibe. I don't 112 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,120 know what it is. I just like am not gravitating 113 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800 towards it. So I decided to not go, And I'm 114 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,319 honestly really happy with my decision, even though I really 115 00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:27,160 only wanted to see biber. Like I feel like if 116 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,279 I went, I would go for literally one night and 117 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:30,720 that's it, and then I would have flew home on 118 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:33,360 the Sunday. But obviously, like that's not worth my time. 119 00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:35,319 Like if I lived in California, it's a two hour drive, 120 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,480 it's a totally different situation. I feel like that's way 121 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:40,360 more normal if you live in the California area, But 122 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,240 for someone who lives nowhere close to California, it was 123 00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:46,920 not worth a six hour flight to go see Biber 124 00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,040 and then six hour flight back. So I'm just manifesting 125 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,759 that Bieber announces a tour at some point. I think 126 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,480 we can all agree that it'd be so cool to 127 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:56,800 see him go on tour again, even if it was 128 00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:59,480 like a Taylor Swift era tour vibe, like doing all 129 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:01,360 of his different albums, Like I don't know, that would 130 00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:04,040 be so freaking cool to see them in the concert again. 131 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,160 But you know, beabes, it wasn't worth the stress and 132 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:11,560 anxiety that I wanted to feel. And I do also 133 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,040 have like a lot of work stuff going on this 134 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,160 month that I just really couldn't manage with Coachella being 135 00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:20,079 this past weekend. So I really just decided to choose 136 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,160 my mental health and I'm very proud of that decision. Anyways, 137 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,680 Besides Coachella, I feel like everyone's talking about Coachella on 138 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,680 my Instagram feed TikTok feed. I feel like that's all 139 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,800 I've been consuming lately, and I'm like, Okay, we need 140 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,120 to stop with this. But I've also been consuming a 141 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,000 lot of stuff about this before a sale, and like, 142 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,360 I thought it'd be cool to kind of do an 143 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,439 episode around like things that I love, but things that 144 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,079 I also don't love that I've tried from either pr gifting, 145 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:45,279 or things that I've purchased myself that like I just 146 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,639 didn't like or it didn't work for me. So I 147 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,120 thought we could talk a little bit about beauty fhaves 148 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,480 and beauty must haves along with like beauty things that 149 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,120 didn't work for me, along with like wellness obsessions that 150 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,879 I'm currently into right now, whether it's like active where brains, bands, supplements, 151 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:05,720 wellness trends in general, and things that I don't really 152 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,720 love that I've tried in the wellness industry that wasn't 153 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,519 worth my money, or just things that I personally just 154 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,480 don't really take or support, whatever the case may be. Okay, 155 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,879 so let's talk about my beauty must have faves obsessions, 156 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,600 specifically within these past few months of products that I've 157 00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:25,439 been using daily that I'm literally obsessed with, would rebuy, 158 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,279 still reby to this day. If I ever get something 159 00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:30,439 for free from a brand, I will use it and 160 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,560 then once I'm done with the product, I will literally 161 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,600 go to Sephora and just rebuy it. But obviously, like 162 00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:37,680 I get sent new stuff from brands when they're trying 163 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,360 to promote stuff to influencers. So it's great that I 164 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:42,199 have the opportunity to kind of try new things, but 165 00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:44,000 then I can at least tell you, guys if it's 166 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,120 really worth it or not. So let's start off with 167 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,480 one of my favorite brands. And I truly do think 168 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:50,240 this is one of my favorite brands. And I'm not 169 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,800 saying this because I'm a Beaber fan, but I love Road. 170 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720 I really do think Hailey did such an amazing job 171 00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:00,360 with the brand. I have loved anything that I've got 172 00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:03,240 from them. I love their blushes, I love their lip liners. 173 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:07,040 I love her skin care line. Like her skincare line 174 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,040 is by far one of my favorite things I've ever tried, 175 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,279 and I have now been using it, I think for 176 00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:15,120 almost two years, and I stand by that glazing milk. 177 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680 That glazing milk is probably the best purchase you will 178 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,839 ever make. I think it's like forty eight dollars Canadian, 179 00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:24,839 which is very affordable in my opinion for a skincare brand, 180 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:27,519 especially for a skincare brand that's being sold at Sephora. 181 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,079 And I use it with my makeup, so I mix 182 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,200 it in with my foundation. I use it just as 183 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,759 you know. The skincare product before I put my moisturizer on. 184 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:38,919 I have very dry skin, so I personally find the 185 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,919 glazing milk is very hydrating for someone who has very dry, 186 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,399 dry skin. So it's my rider die. I will make 187 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,639 sure to take it everywhere with me. I have a 188 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,399 travel size that way when I travel, I can take it. 189 00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:53,559 It's by far my favorite skincare product that I literally 190 00:08:53,639 --> 00:08:57,360 have in my entire skincare assortment. I also love this 191 00:08:57,399 --> 00:08:59,919 is a recent obsession because I think she launched the 192 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,440 later last year. It was the Road facial mist. If 193 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,279 you want glowing skin, I'm not even over exaggerating that 194 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,799 mist is insane, Like I use that mist the first 195 00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:12,679 thing into my skincare routine. When I wake up, I 196 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,399 spray the mist. I do the glazing milk, I do moisturizer, 197 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:18,240 I do an I cream, and then I do sunscreen. 198 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,559 But the facial mist is also really good for a 199 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,559 makeup topper. So whenever I'm done my makeup, I spray 200 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,559 the mist on my face and it gives me that 201 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240 like glowy natural look I feel like. Sometimes when my 202 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,960 makeup looks too matt, I don't like that. But when 203 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,279 I spray this mist on. It gives hydration to my 204 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,480 skin and it looks like almost like my natural face, 205 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,360 like I haven't put in too much makeup on my face. 206 00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:43,679 So those are two Road products that I stand by 207 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:47,320 and will repurchase again and again because I think it's 208 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,080 so worth the money. I also love her pocket blushes. 209 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,159 The shade I think it's tan lines obsessed with that one. 210 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,759 It's like the perfect pinky undertone that gives more of 211 00:09:57,879 --> 00:09:59,960 a sun kiss look, which I love the sun can 212 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,320 look kind of like a post beach tan vibe. I 213 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,519 also love Toasted Teddy, which is a bit more of 214 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,279 like a burnt red effect of a blush. I also 215 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,480 love her lipliners. I use the shade Lean Bend, and 216 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,600 I think the other one is twist really really good, 217 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:20,840 like neutral nude, kind of like a brownie pink undertone, 218 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,200 which is like my go to lipliner color, and I 219 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,919 honestly use it every single day. Put Lipliner or not 220 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,519 Lipliner sorry, lip bomb on on top. I will say 221 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,799 for a deinfluencing for Road, there is one thing that 222 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,279 I actually don't love by them, and I will never 223 00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:38,759 honestly buy it in my opinion, and that is the 224 00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:41,480 lip glosses or lip bombs. I don't love it. I 225 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:45,759 find it very kind of like bumpy and sticky. Like 226 00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:48,240 I don't find it makes my lips hydrate. Every time 227 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:51,919 I use a road lip bomb, it just never stays on. 228 00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:53,960 I feel like it feels like I have like little 229 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,440 bumps on my lips and it just feels I don't know, 230 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,480 it's just like every time I like reapply it, it 231 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,080 just gets stickier and stickier, and I hate that feeling 232 00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:04,840 like that's just like the worst feeling ever. So I 233 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,440 don't really love her lip bombs. To be fully transparent, 234 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,279 I would never spend my money on it. But what 235 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:12,279 I would spend my money on for lip bombs is 236 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,480 I love the Summer Friday lip bombs. You guys have 237 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,519 probably heard me rave and talk about Summer Fridays in 238 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,120 the past, But Summer Friday's lip bomb is the best 239 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,440 lip bomb on the market my opinion, I've never tried 240 00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:26,480 anything like it. My favorite flavors would be mint and 241 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,320 their Birthday Cake. I think they also just came out 242 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,159 with a marsh marshmallow one recently. But oh, I also 243 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,600 love the vanilla like those are like my top three. 244 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,720 She does have tinted ones. I think there's a beige vanilla, 245 00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:40,279 which I also like, especially for like going out, if 246 00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:42,639 you want something with more of a tint. I do 247 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,679 love that one. But I just love the consistency of 248 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:49,559 the Summer Friday lip Bombs, Like it's always never sticky. 249 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,279 I could reapply it like throughout the day multiple times 250 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,440 and never have an issue with it, and I find 251 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,559 it very hydrating. My lips, I feel like are never 252 00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:01,919 chopped because I constantly use it, And I don't know, 253 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,320 they're like not too expensive, but they're just worth it 254 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,600 in my opinion. Like me and my girlfriends, we did 255 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,320 like a favorites Christmas exchange and I ended up getting 256 00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:13,720 the mini travel size and a little package of four 257 00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:16,080 I think, and I gave all my girlfriends like one 258 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,440 or two lip bombs and that was like my favorite 259 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,960 item because I was like, this stuff I'm truly obsessed 260 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000 with and it's like my favorite stuff ever, more of 261 00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:26,759 a self care fave. I love the brand Laaccu Tinte. 262 00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:28,320 I think that's how you pronounce it. I could be 263 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,080 totally butchering the name. I'm not French, so it is 264 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,559 a French word and brand, but I love their shower oil, 265 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,000 literally the most amazing hydrating body shower oil I've ever tried. 266 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,159 It is a bit more on the priceier side, but 267 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600 obviously with the sale coming, I think the sale is 268 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,559 like a good opportunity to kind of splurge your money 269 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,639 on things that are worth it. I also love their 270 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,399 body oil. So I have the shower oil which I 271 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,559 use in the shower as my body wash, and it 272 00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,440 kind of has like this Almon vanilla sent and then 273 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,519 when I get out of the shower, I'll use their 274 00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:05,240 body oil. And again coming from someone who has really 275 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,879 dry skin, this stuff really does hydrate me. And it 276 00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,480 feels really really soothing on the skin. Never react to it. 277 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,559 Never gotten breakouts. I've tried body products before, like body 278 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,799 washes and all that, and I have actually gotten breakouts 279 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,639 on my body, which like never happens to me. So 280 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,720 when something like that happens, I completely avoid the product 281 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:28,200 and just like stick to what works for my skin. 282 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,120 Another product that I would deinfluence you on that I've 283 00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:33,080 seen a lot of people rave about, and I hate 284 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,080 that it doesn't work for me personally, because I do 285 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,279 think the brand is incredible and I love the sense 286 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,039 of things and all that, but the brand Salt and Stone. 287 00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:45,000 I have only tried certain products from Salt and Stone, 288 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,720 so I haven't tried everything. So I'm not like completely 289 00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:50,480 bashing the brand at all. I've only tried their body 290 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,440 wash and the body wash actually broke out my body. 291 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,879 Never had that happen to me before, Like I had 292 00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:58,559 like back at me and I was like, what is 293 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,679 going on? But this never happens, so I knew it 294 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:03,559 was the body wash that I tried. So then I 295 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,919 went to the La Occupane shower oil, did not break out, 296 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,879 did not have an issue, So that is just something 297 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:11,639 that like I had an experience where like it kind 298 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:13,279 of broke me out, so I don't use it. But 299 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,720 you know it's funny is that I use the body 300 00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:19,120 wash actually in my bathrooms as my hand soap, Like 301 00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:20,639 I'll just use it as like a cause I think 302 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:22,759 it's hand and body wash. I think it's what it is. 303 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,039 And obviously, like I don't have any brickouts on my hand, 304 00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:29,200 so I'm like, I wonder why it's causing issues with 305 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,639 my whole body, but I don't have an issue with 306 00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:33,559 my hands, so obviously, like I got gifted by Salt 307 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:35,399 and stone for that stuff, and so I'm like, I 308 00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:36,759 don't want it to go to waste because I do 309 00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:39,080 love the scent of things, and I do think the 310 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,600 brand is great. It's just it didn't work for my 311 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,159 body specifically. So anyways, that's just like an honest take 312 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,440 of like what happened to me and my own personal experience. 313 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,000 I have heard other people use it and have no 314 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,600 issues and are obsessed with it because I think it 315 00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:54,639 is a pretty affordable brand as well from Sephora. So 316 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,320 it just didn't work for like a everyday body wash 317 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,000 for me. I'm more of a occupante shower oil and 318 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,120 like body oil kind of goal. A new brand that 319 00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,080 I actually recently discovered that I really really love and 320 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,120 I've been really using it consistently is lux Unfiltered. They 321 00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:14,799 are a I think a tanning company, so they do 322 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,320 a lot of self tanner's, you know, facial drops. She 323 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:22,200 also has like under eye patches. I recently got on 324 00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,159 her PR list. I think the owner is I want 325 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:28,399 to say, what's her name? I need to search her 326 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,120 because I actually love her stuff, see Vaughn love her 327 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,159 Oh my goodness, her house, aesthetic, her platform in general. 328 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,480 I just really really adore. I love following her on Instagram. 329 00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:40,960 She's a mom of two. I think she's in her 330 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,679 forties and she's just so cool, Like I really really 331 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,840 like her aesthetic. And she has this brand called lux Unfiltered, 332 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,679 and she sent me over her self. Tanner and eye patches. 333 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:53,000 I've been wearing the eye patches like almost in every 334 00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,840 single morning blog that I've been posting recently because they're 335 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,519 so good. They're actually very similar to the road eye patches, 336 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,399 which I also love, really love the Road eye patches. 337 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,679 I like them better than most eye patches because they 338 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,600 both have the same sticky applicators, so I just finally 339 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:10,519 stay on my eyes better, you know, like the ones 340 00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:12,039 where it's just kind of like slippery and like it 341 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,440 slides down constantly you constantly have to like move it up. 342 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,759 These are almost like stickers that will actually stay on 343 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,759 your eyes. You could keep them on up to like 344 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,279 an hour if you really wanted to, and not have 345 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,200 an issue with it coming off your face like it 346 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,840 is secure. Sometimes. I also like to put them in 347 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,200 the fridge that way. It kind of has like that 348 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,679 cooling aspect, which is really really nice. So I have 349 00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:35,279 been loving the eye patches, and then I did actually 350 00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:37,600 try the self tanner before I went to Toronto with 351 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,799 Zach because I needed a self tanner just on my 352 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,279 body because obviously, currently still in the winter trenches don't 353 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:47,720 have a lot of sunshine here, so I'm currently going 354 00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:50,559 through my pale era. So I needed to give myself 355 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,480 a bit of a boost of confidence and put on 356 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,840 some self tanner. And their self tanner is very good. 357 00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:59,279 She has multiple different types of self tanner, so there's 358 00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:02,120 a gradual one that's a lotion, and then there's also 359 00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:04,559 the self tanning moose. I've tried both. I think the 360 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,720 self tanning Moose is actually new, very very good. I 361 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,519 like the color because it looks like a very natural, 362 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,799 deep bronze. It doesn't look like a different shade of 363 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,359 you know, when you look like orange or you look 364 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,960 kind of green. Does not give that at all, which 365 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,200 I think is kind of a common issue with some 366 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:24,519 self tanner. Is like one self tanner that I don't 367 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:27,480 love on me personally that I've had, like an undertone 368 00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:31,759 of green is I think it's called Saint Tropez. I 369 00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:33,799 used to use it throughout high school and I'm like, girl, 370 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,839 why didn't I use that stuff. It literally made me 371 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,559 look green. So yeah, finding a good self tanner, I know, 372 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,799 is like difficult, but I do really think the lux 373 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,680 Unfiltered is worth it, and I know you can get 374 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,039 it at Sephora. The last obsession that I've recently discovered 375 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,839 through like something you can buy through Sephora that's kind 376 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,759 of like a beauty fave is the brand Merit. I 377 00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:56,839 really like it because it's non toxic, and I try 378 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,359 my best to like switch out products where I can 379 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,119 when it comes to cleaning products, makeup product, skincare products 380 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,319 that are like clean beauty, and Merit is considered a 381 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,839 clean beauty brand, and I recently came across their concealer 382 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,599 stick really really good to hide blemishes. So if you're 383 00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:16,319 having any type of acme or zits and you want 384 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,359 something that has like really really good coverage that you 385 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,240 can just kind of apply on the spot and then 386 00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:23,400 be able to wear your foundation everywhere else, the Merit 387 00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,000 Concealer stick is actually really good. Also using it under 388 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,279 your eyes if you have like really heavy bags one day, 389 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,799 or just like dark circles and you really just like 390 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,480 want to cover it up for more of like a 391 00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:35,240 heavy coverage and you know me, I'm very much like 392 00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:37,599 a light makeup kind of gal. I don't ever like 393 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,880 to wear like heavy, heavy makeup. But this is one 394 00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:43,480 product that I think works really really well and you 395 00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:47,680 can really apply more if you want more coverage or 396 00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:50,079 less if you want less coverage. So it's very buildable, 397 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,720 which I love. So yeah, so Merit is actually a 398 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,319 brand that I haven't fully tried everything of definitely want 399 00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:00,960 to explore more products by them. I think I've only 400 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,559 tried one other product that didn't work for me. It 401 00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:07,160 was like there, I want to say, like their glow serum. 402 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,440 It was kind of like a serum that you would 403 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,119 apply before makeup. It broke me out. It did not 404 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,160 work for me personally. But I know there's like a 405 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,319 lot of other products that they have, like a blush. 406 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,759 I think they have a Bronzer stick. Those are things 407 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:21,640 that I've never tried that I'd be willing to try. 408 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:26,400 But I've tried their consular stick and their glow serum, 409 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,839 and I personally love the Concealer stick. Random things that 410 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,000 are not worth your money in my opinion, that are 411 00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:35,960 in the beauty space. I actually recently got pr from 412 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000 this brand, and I'm so mad because I really wanted 413 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,119 to love this brand. I really really did. I actually 414 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,440 tried two things by them, and unfortunately it's a no 415 00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:47,440 for me. My skin did not like it at all, 416 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,680 which sucks because I know some people really rave about 417 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,799 this product and say it's the best, but for my skin, 418 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,559 it just did not work. Supergop Sunscreen it's literally one 419 00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,559 of the top skincare brands. I think at Sephora, everybody 420 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,880 raves a bit. I use the sunscreen for the first 421 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,240 time last week. I have zits all over my chin 422 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,680 right now. Literally I never break out, and I'm like, 423 00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:11,799 what is going on? So, yeah, the sunscreen is not 424 00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:14,519 for me. I've also tried their sunscreen drops, which is 425 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,519 which is almost like a tinted sunscreen. I guess in 426 00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:20,759 a way, No, it also just broke me out, so 427 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,759 clearly there's something in the product that does not react 428 00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:27,319 well to my skin. So obviously trying two different products, 429 00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:29,000 I feel like it definitely steers me away from the 430 00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:32,240 brand completely. I think if I try like two to 431 00:20:32,279 --> 00:20:34,200 three things from a brand, if it doesn't work, it's 432 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,799 just not for me. If there's two to three things 433 00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:38,759 that I love from a brand, I'm most likely and 434 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,759 more inclined to buy more from them, right, So unfortunately 435 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,200 it's a no for me, which is so sad. I 436 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,319 definitely appreciated the gifting, but it's just not going to 437 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,039 work for me. Another thing that I don't really think 438 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,960 is worth it when it comes to like buying something 439 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,920 from Sephora is expensive muscara. Like I don't ever ever 440 00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:00,000 spend my money on any type of brand at Sephora. 441 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,000 For mescara, I will always be a Laurel mascara girl. 442 00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:04,880 I go to Shoppers. I just go to a local 443 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,000 drug store and I'll pick up a Loreal mascara for 444 00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:10,680 I think, like what thirteen to fifteen dollars. I have 445 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,319 no idea how much it is, but I mean it 446 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,200 lasts me for such a long time. I use the one. 447 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,880 I think it's a Loreal Paradise one. Love it. I 448 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,039 have no eyelashes. I feel like it always makes my 449 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,319 lashes look super long. Every Sephora mascara I tried, like 450 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,920 I swear to it, it never makes my lashes look good. 451 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,160 Like I'll spend so much money thinking oh my god, 452 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,759 this is it It's gonna be. You know, it's so expensive, 453 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,559 Like I remember in high school, I would save my 454 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:37,640 money to spend my money on certain beauty products. That's 455 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,839 Aphora and the brand two Face. I felt like it 456 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,799 was like really popular when I was in high school. 457 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,640 Was something that just recently launched, and it was called 458 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,640 the better than sex mescarra. I remember, I thought it 459 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,279 was gonna be the best mescara. I was gonna be 460 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,880 my go to ride or die. It was so clumpy, 461 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,559 it made my lashes look like shit. Did not like 462 00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:57,400 it whatsoever. But it's like I spent all this money 463 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,480 thinking that, oh, well, the more expensive one's gonna be 464 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,839 so much better than when I buy from shoppers. Right, Well, no, 465 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,640 that's not the case. There is some drugstore makeup that 466 00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:07,279 is truly better than most products that you would get 467 00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:11,319 from Sephora. So yeah, I don't ever waste my money 468 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:16,839 on expensive mascaras anymore. I stick to the OG's Loreel mascara. 469 00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:19,880 It's truly my favorite in my opinion, and it's affordable, 470 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,079 which is great. I do not really love the Tart Concealer. 471 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,279 I know everyone raves about that concealer. I find it 472 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,160 way too thick for me personally. I find it literally 473 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,119 makes me look like I have like heavier bags on 474 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,400 my eyes. I would rather wear no concealer at all 475 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,680 than put that concealer under my eyes, just because I 476 00:22:36,759 --> 00:22:39,240 really find it's way too heavy. I think it would 477 00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:42,839 be great for blemishes, but it's just not for me. 478 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,000 It's not for me. I prefer a lighter concealer. I 479 00:22:46,039 --> 00:22:49,880 really love the Kosis concealer. That one's really good. That 480 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,200 one's a really good option that's more light coverage but 481 00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:55,559 also gives enough coverage where it's buildable and it looks 482 00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:59,359 really really good. Also, Tower twenty eight concealer is good 483 00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:02,559 and Hourglass. Those would be like my top three concealers 484 00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:04,960 that I've tried that I stand by, that I love, 485 00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:09,039 that I constantly repurchase. But no, the tart is not 486 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,039 for me. I know people raved about that for a 487 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:13,680 really long time, but it's just uh, not something that 488 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,359 works for me. Do you guys know the brand Milk Makeup. 489 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,880 Milk Makeup came out with these like jelly blushes this 490 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,200 time last year, and I remember everybody posting it on TikTok, 491 00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:27,200 like raving about these jelly blushes, and I was so 492 00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:29,400 excited that I got like a pr from them, and 493 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,559 I was like, oh my god, this is so exciting. 494 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:32,559 I'm getting the blushes that everyone's talking about it. Whatever, 495 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,279 I got it. I tried it immediately. It made no difference. 496 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,440 I literally did not see anything on my face. I 497 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,119 was like, these blushes are not even pigmented, Like they're 498 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,720 not even giving the pigmentation that we need on our face. 499 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,440 And I'm a blush girl, Like I love my blush, 500 00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:50,079 and I don't know, it just looked like candy that 501 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,400 you could eat. Honestly, Like the concept was cool, but 502 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,640 I just don't think the product executed the best way 503 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,480 it should have in my opinion. I think it was 504 00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,359 like over really hyped up for sure on social media, 505 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,960 but it's a no for me. It did not work. 506 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,279 The last thing that I would say that I've spent 507 00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:10,160 my money on or that I've received from PR that 508 00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:13,279 just really didn't work for me personally was I tried 509 00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:15,759 the brand Way, which I do love a lot of 510 00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:18,119 hair products by Way. They are a really good brand. 511 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,799 I love their dry shampoo, I love their leaving conditioner, 512 00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:24,440 I love their moose, I love their curl cream. Like 513 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,799 there is a lot of stuff that I love by 514 00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:29,519 the brand, but one thing that I could not love 515 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,759 was their shampoo and conditioner. I've tried so many different 516 00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:35,680 types of shampoo and conditioners by them, and they always 517 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,079 just made my hair look dirty. Nothing ever looked good, 518 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,240 and I felt like I would try it multiple times 519 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:41,839 right Like some people are like, oh, your hair just 520 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,599 needs to get used to it. I'm like, Okay, let 521 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,640 me try it for like four washes throughout the next 522 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720 two weeks. Try it for four washes constantly just made 523 00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:51,559 my hair look greasy underneath. You know when like you 524 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,440 blow dry your hair and then you like put your 525 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,440 hair half up to like blow dry it. It was 526 00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:59,319 literally looking wet and it was fully dry, And I 527 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,400 hate when that happens. It's like the worst feeling ever. 528 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,640 It's like I just spent the past forty five minutes 529 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,400 doing in everything shower and you're telling me that my 530 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,279 hair is still greasy. No, that's just a no for me. 531 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,720 So I don't ever change my shampoo and conditioner now. 532 00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:18,240 I just stick to Redkin. That's what my hairstylist recommended 533 00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:20,480 to me, and I love it. I think it's so 534 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,759 so good. It doesn't ever leave my hair with that 535 00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:26,160 like greasy, wet feeling. So that's a note for me. 536 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,319 I honestly haven't really found a good shampoo conditioner from Sephora. 537 00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:33,480 So I just buy what my hair dresser tells me 538 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,599 to buy, and I just stick to that. Okay, let's 539 00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:39,039 talk about some wellness obsessions or wellness trends that I 540 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,720 either love or something that just didn't really work for 541 00:25:42,759 --> 00:25:46,319 me personally. Right now, I feel like I've been wanting 542 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,400 to buy a lot more active wear. I feel like 543 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,480 now that we're heading into late spring early summer, I've 544 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:56,519 been craving a new workoutside, just like on fun Colors 545 00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:00,119 obviously with the summer season coming up, and I I 546 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,759 have tried a lot of active weear. Okay, I've literally 547 00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:05,440 probably tried it all. To be honest, I've gotten a 548 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,880 lot of gifting from brands, and there is definitely one 549 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,559 brand that I consistently wear that you guys probably see 550 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:14,960 me post on Instagram a lot of the time on 551 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,359 my Instagram stories, and I'm going to be fully transparent. 552 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,400 It is the best active where brand in my opinion, 553 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,880 and one brand that I will literally forever purchase from, 554 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,599 and that is Cropshop Boutique. It's called CSB. They're based 555 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,319 in Australia. They always slay. Like literally every single workouts 556 00:26:31,319 --> 00:26:33,359 that I've ever gotten from them, I'm obsessed with. Like 557 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,680 I have gotten a few brands send me things and 558 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,400 you know what, just like a sports broad doesn't fit right, 559 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,119 or the leggings are way too high, like really high wasted, 560 00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:47,680 or whatever the case may be. Like every single pant, bra, 561 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,039 tank top, sweater, long sleep I've ever ever ever received 562 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:54,599 from them, I've been obsessed with. I just adore the 563 00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:57,039 brand so much. I think they put so much thought 564 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,200 into their bra styles, the fashion, and it's very much 565 00:27:01,319 --> 00:27:04,920 a pilates core aesthetic in my opinion when it comes 566 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,720 to workout sets. So if you really want a good 567 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:11,759 workout set, I personally think the Crop Shout Boutique is 568 00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:15,319 worth every single penny. My sister also agrees, Like I've 569 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,279 gifted her things that I've gotten extra pr from and 570 00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:20,559 she's like, no, this stuff is insane, Like she's actually 571 00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:24,079 spent her money on other sets by them because she's 572 00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:26,039 gotten to try it out and she really just loved 573 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,319 the workout sets. So truthfully, I think it's worth every 574 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,920 single penny more of an affordable brand that does sell 575 00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:36,519 really good workout sets. In my opinion that I've never, 576 00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:40,640 ever again have had an issue with Aritzia. Aritzia has 577 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,480 the best active wear like that is another brand that 578 00:27:43,519 --> 00:27:46,799 I've purchased multiple workout sets from, have had for years 579 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,559 upon years. I'm talking like when I first started TikTok, 580 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,440 like I would buy a Ritzya workoutsets because they were 581 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,599 affordable and they had such two colors and I still 582 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,240 have them to this day. And that was five years ago. 583 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,480 So Aritzia freaking killed it with their active wear line. 584 00:28:01,559 --> 00:28:04,720 And I think that was recently released five years ago. 585 00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:05,920 Like when I bought it, I think it was like 586 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,599 a new thing that they were launching, and they killed 587 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,400 it from the beginning to now. They have this new 588 00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:14,440 beautiful butter yellow color that just came out. Oh my god, guys, 589 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,559 I do not mean to tell you that, but you 590 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,480 need to go buy it. It is so nice. It 591 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:21,960 is so nice. I'm obsessed with it. Anything yellow right now. 592 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,400 I'm actually obsessed with yellow or blue. It's my two 593 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,400 obsessions right now. Anyways, that's something I would definitely influence 594 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,920 you on, just because I think Aritzia is amazing and 595 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,960 you want to know, it's funny if you're American, you 596 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:36,039 will never understand the hype that Aritzia had for us 597 00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:39,279 girls in Canada. If you are a Canadian girl, then 598 00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:42,640 you will understand that Aritzia was our go to spot 599 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,519 for shopping through our entire high school years. We had 600 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:49,759 this like one Aritzia TNA zip up that was kind 601 00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:51,759 of like a mockneck, was a high high sweater. I 602 00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:54,079 think they still sell it or they recently brought it back. 603 00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:57,680 And then the TNA dome bags they brought it back 604 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,359 this year. That was our backpacks. Like we were a 605 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,319 Ritzia girls before any of the Americans or Europeans knew 606 00:29:05,359 --> 00:29:08,480 about Aritzia, like the Canadian girlies now that Aritzia was 607 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,960 like our diehard thing and if you guys didn't know 608 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,839 what Ritzia is Canadian. So I think it's just so 609 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,319 funny to see how much Aritzia has expanded. I think 610 00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,720 it's truly incredible. But I just can't believe the brand 611 00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:21,960 has stayed so true to a customer since day one. 612 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400 I've been shopping at a Ritzia since I was literally 613 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,960 fourteen years old. Fourteen years old, that's wild, and here 614 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,799 I am at thirty, still buying from them to this day. 615 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,720 And still obsessed with the quality the brand everything. So 616 00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:37,400 Aritzia is truly probably one of the best brands ever 617 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,559 in my opinion, probably Lululemon as well, for like just 618 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,359 staying by the customer and being consistently good with quality 619 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,920 and just things that I always like never get rid of, 620 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,240 Like I feel like I'm constantly keeping things years upon 621 00:29:50,359 --> 00:29:52,839 years when I purchased from them one hundred percent worth 622 00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:55,480 every single penny for their workout sets. I recently became 623 00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:57,960 obsessed with this brand early last year. But the brand 624 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,400 is called pro Mix. They do a few of types 625 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,799 of supplements. I have tried multiple different supplements from this brand, 626 00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,519 and I adore them so so much. I've tried their magnesium, 627 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,400 I've tried their electrolytes. I have this prebiotic probiotic drink 628 00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:15,319 every single morning, and I swear that supplement that I 629 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:17,839 take every single morning has helped me so much without 630 00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:21,119 getting sick, without having any gut issues. I just think 631 00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:24,440 it's truly been Like the best supplement that I've taken 632 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,279 every single morning is their prebiotic probiotic drink. They advertise 633 00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:31,720 it as a de bloat drink. I don't ever use 634 00:30:31,759 --> 00:30:33,799 it for that purpose. I wasn't ever looking for like 635 00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:35,640 a de bloat drink. I was more so just looking 636 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,079 for a prebiotic probiotic supplement to take every single morning. 637 00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:41,720 And I love that it's a drink and not a pill. 638 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,359 I suck at swallowing pills. Okay, not a pill, girly, 639 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,279 I freaking hate them. Obviously. I'm taking a prenatal right 640 00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:50,599 now from Ritual and it's good, but like I feel 641 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,079 like I'm always just having issues swallowing it and I 642 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,640 hate it. But it's fine. We're fine. I'm just like 643 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,920 not a vitamin girl. But we're gonna talk about vitamins 644 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,640 and supplements in a second, and the things that I 645 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,319 don't is worth your money. But anyways, the electrolytes by 646 00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:06,279 Promix is actually really good. I don't have an electrolyte 647 00:31:06,279 --> 00:31:09,000 every single day. I used to, and then I started 648 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,480 to do research around like how you need to be 649 00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:14,359 like working out pretty hard or sweating pretty hard to 650 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,039 be absorbing and drinking electrolytes or else it's like really 651 00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:19,920 high in sodium and probably not the best for you, 652 00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:22,200 so do your own research on that. But I try 653 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,160 and not have one every single day. I try to 654 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,799 just do it on the days where I feel like 655 00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:28,759 I've been like super active and could use some hydration, 656 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,440 or if I've been like in the heat for a 657 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,599 long period of time and just like have been in 658 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,359 a hot space like kind of like the summertime in 659 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,000 need of an electrolyte. I'll just have it when I 660 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,759 feel like I need the hydration. Red light therapy mass. 661 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,000 I know, I know they're so expensive. Okay, I totally 662 00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:48,400 hear you, but I do think it makes a pretty 663 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,559 big difference. I actually had a recent experience with my 664 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,720 mom who was kind of against red light therapy mass. 665 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,480 I don't know. I feel like sometimes the older generation 666 00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:59,319 they don't really get it. And for Christmas, my mom 667 00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:02,759 and dad got my stir of the shark face mask, which, 668 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,680 if you guys know, the shark face mask is like 669 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,079 super super popular. The red light therapy mask is like 670 00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:09,720 something that sold out like literally throughout all stores throughout 671 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,039 the Christmas season. I feel like it was like one 672 00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:12,880 of the top Christmas gifts that people were asking for. 673 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,680 And my mom has been taking it from my sister 674 00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:18,799 to use like within this past month, and she literally 675 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,240 came to me last night and she was like Killy, 676 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,519 I am actually noticing a difference in my skin since 677 00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:26,920 using the red light therapy mask like four times a week. 678 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,200 I'm like, I love to hear that. I love to 679 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,759 hear that you're loving it. I don't know. It was 680 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,240 really refreshing to hear that from her because I've been 681 00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:34,880 using it for such a long time where I feel 682 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,200 like I'm not really noticing differences. But I think it's 683 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,000 maintaining good skin, if that makes sense. I feel like 684 00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:43,279 it is helping with my roseatia, but I'm not really 685 00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:44,839 noticing a difference in terms of like, oh my god, 686 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,599 my wrinkles are gone or whatever, like that's not really 687 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,960 working for me personally, But I think it's creating a good, 688 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,119 consistent and maintaining, you know, just good skin in general. 689 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,440 But my mom, for an example, she obviously like has 690 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,200 a bit of insecurities when it comes to wrinkles and 691 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,880 stuff like that, and she's like, no, Killy, Like, I 692 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,519 really do feel like I know the difference, and I'm like, okay, Mom, 693 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,480 I love to hear that. So those just a few 694 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,400 things that I think are pretty new to me that 695 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,720 I've been obsessed with recently. I feel like other things 696 00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:10,359 that I could talk about in the wellness industry. You 697 00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:12,319 guys probably have heard me talked about a million times, 698 00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:15,480 like reformable ladies. You guys know I'm obsessed with I 699 00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:17,880 really want to get back into juicing again. Juicing is 700 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,400 something that I'm always like on and off with, but 701 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,200 I feel like whenever it's like spring and summer, I'm 702 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,680 more inclined to make green juices again. Juicing in general, 703 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,920 so I'm definitely inclined to do that again. And just 704 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,240 things that I like always kind of go back to. Okay, 705 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,079 so now let's talk about wellness. Things that I've tried 706 00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:34,319 that I don't think is worth your money or honestly 707 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,200 not even worth your money, but just things that are 708 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,920 like not necessary, Like I don't think you need to 709 00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:41,519 get it. I think you can still be a healthy 710 00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:44,400 person or be in the wellness industry and not have 711 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,359 to purchase these things in order to be like a 712 00:33:46,359 --> 00:33:49,400 wellness person or someone that wants to live a healthier lifestyle. 713 00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:53,119 One of them being protein powders. I'm not against protein powders. 714 00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:55,319 My husband has a protein shake, you know, the odd 715 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,079 day after a workout. Whatever. I used to be like 716 00:33:58,319 --> 00:34:02,079 protein powders in my smoothies and my breakfast is all that, 717 00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:05,359 Like die Hard would like literally have protein powder almost 718 00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:07,279 every single day. When you realize that you can get 719 00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:10,480 your protein source other ways, and honestly it's actually better 720 00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:14,119 to probably get natural protein versus a powder, it literally 721 00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:16,920 completely changes the game for you. Like freak yogurt has 722 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,400 such a high protein intake, especially for breakfast in the 723 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,119 mornings or for a snack, you know, eating actual protein 724 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:26,199 like chicken, beef, steak, whatever the case may be, for 725 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,199 your lunches and dinner. Like, you can get so much 726 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,039 protein in every single meal if you do your own research, 727 00:34:31,079 --> 00:34:33,480 you do not need to have a protein shake. You know, 728 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,119 there's so many process protein shakes out there in protein powders. 729 00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:39,920 There's also some clean protein powders that you can invest 730 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,800 in that are probably worth the money. And you know, 731 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,480 having a protein after a workout is great for recovery. 732 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:47,239 I totally get that, but like you could also just 733 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,800 have a really high protein meal or high protein breakfast 734 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,639 to get that, you know, benefit of building muscle and 735 00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:57,920 all that. So I don't know, I haven't really had 736 00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:00,360 a protein shake in like a really long time. If 737 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,440 I'm like out with my friends and like we go 738 00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:04,280 to a smoothie bar and they want to get a 739 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,079 protein smoothie. Like, yeah, I'm all for it. Of course 740 00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:07,880 I'm going to get that. But like, I'm not like 741 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,119 purposely going out of my way to buy a really 742 00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:13,079 expensive protein powder to use it. Zach has one that 743 00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:16,199 I use occasionally for my oats. I'll make like protein 744 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,199 oats the odd time, which I adore. But again, it's 745 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,480 not something that I'm like, I need this supplement, I 746 00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:22,880 need to spend the money on it. Like, I don't 747 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,679 think it's a need in my opinion. I think it's 748 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,199 great if you have it, but I just don't think 749 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,880 it's like you need this in order to see results 750 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,400 for yourself. So anyways, that's something that I feel like 751 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,159 I've definitely grown to learn that and something that I 752 00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:36,639 would definitely not say. Probably five years ago, I would 753 00:35:36,639 --> 00:35:38,360 probably say get the protein powder. It's the best thing. 754 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,760 Ever now I'm like, just eat protein and you will 755 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,800 see the results that you want to see. Another wellness 756 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,559 trend that I think people assume is really expensive is 757 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,559 eating healthy and just like making complicated meals, you do 758 00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:52,840 not need to make a complicated meal in order to 759 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,360 be healthy. I've definitely done a lot of research on 760 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,280 healthy recipes now that I'm in my TTC journey and 761 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,480 kind of prepping for pregnancy, and honestly, the simple meals 762 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,280 still work great and they still taste great. You could 763 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,639 buy broccoli, beef and sweet potato and that could be 764 00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:11,679 your meal. Easy, simple, good, taste great. Wasn't that expensive, 765 00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:13,760 so you don't need to make a complicated meal every 766 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,960 single night. You can still be healthy and just make 767 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000 a very simple dinner or lunch for the day. Coconut 768 00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:22,360 Cult Sea Moss. You know, I've seen a lot of 769 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,159 wellness girls within the past year talk a lot about 770 00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:28,320 these products, and again, it might work for them, it 771 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,079 did not work for me personally. I honestly did not 772 00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:33,400 have a good reaction to Coconut Cult at all. My 773 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,840 stomach was like, ooh, don't do this to me, not 774 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,679 reacting well. So I completely stop buying it because obviously 775 00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:40,440 it's very expensive and not something that I think is 776 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,800 worth the money for me personally. The Sea Moss jel 777 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,760 it wasn't like I had a bad reaction. I just 778 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,360 wouldn't say I was really noticing a difference apparently it's 779 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,320 like really good for your skin, and I don't know, 780 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,239 it just wasn't really working for me. So I just 781 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,519 was like, you know, I'm not going to spend all 782 00:36:56,519 --> 00:36:59,880 this money on these things if I'm not seeing the 783 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,920 benefits out of it. So those are two things that 784 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,079 I see a lot of people talk and rave about, which, again, 785 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,639 if it works for you, great, it just didn't work 786 00:37:06,679 --> 00:37:09,159 for me personally, Okay. The last one, when it comes 787 00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:11,079 to like wellness trends and things that I don't think 788 00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:15,079 is worth the money, is paying for multiple vitamins or 789 00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:17,960 supplements to take throughout the day. There is some girls 790 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,320 that I see on TikTok and Instagram who are literally 791 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,920 taking like eight different types of vitamins and supplements throughout 792 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,119 their day, and I'm like, I almost feel like, am 793 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:28,039 I Like, am I doing something wrong with? Am I 794 00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:30,320 not healthy? Because I don't have like eight to seven 795 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,599 different types of vitamins in the morning when I wake up. 796 00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:35,440 And obviously, like there's probably different reasons why some of 797 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,920 these people are taking a lot of supplements or vitamins 798 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,119 in the morning. Which this is why you really have 799 00:37:41,159 --> 00:37:43,239 to like do your own thing and not just copy 800 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,360 other people's routine because obviously everyone has a different reason 801 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,239 as to maybe why they're taking these supplements and why 802 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,480 they're taking these vitamins. I thought earlier this year, when 803 00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:55,719 I was getting my blood work done, I thought, for sure, 804 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,000 I'm like, oh, I'm gonna be low in everything. I 805 00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:00,360 take no vitamins at all. I take, you know, that 806 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,400 one supplement every single morning, which is my prebiotic, probiotic 807 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,440 by pro Mix, and that's really it. And then I 808 00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:09,920 was recently starting my prenatal bi ritual as my multi 809 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,440 vitamin for this whole prepping for pregnancy situation. So those 810 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,519 were the only two things I was taking, along with 811 00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:18,599 magnesium the odd night. Right, I wasn't taking magnesium every 812 00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:21,360 single night, And so I thought for sure my blood 813 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,760 work was gonna come back and I was gonna be 814 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,320 like totally off the charts. Like my doctor was gonna 815 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,440 be like, yeah, you need vitamin B, vitamin C. Whatever. 816 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,199 She comes back with my results and she's like, Okay, 817 00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:33,320 you look great. You don't need to do anything different. 818 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,280 I was like what. I literally looked at her, I'm like, 819 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,760 are you sure. I'm like, I thought for sure I 820 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,639 was gonna have low iron. I thought for sure I 821 00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:41,280 was gonna have low iron. I thought I was gonna 822 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,360 need to pick up like vitamin C, vitamin D, like 823 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,119 I was ready to spend money on supplements, and she's like, no, 824 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,960 you're very healthy. Everything looks great. Everything is honestly stronger 825 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,960 than most women. Like she was literally saying that, like 826 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,320 my results were stronger than most women that she sees, 827 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,639 and I was like wow, Like I was really shocked. 828 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,840 And so she told me to not change anything. So 829 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,320 I'm like, you know, I'm not gonna change any I'm 830 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,440 just going to keep doing what I'm doing. I actually 831 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,079 brought all of the things that I take so she 832 00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:07,760 could make sure that everything was, you know, safe, right. 833 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,480 So I brought my pro mix supplement, I brought my magnesium, 834 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,599 I brought my prenatal like. I was like, this is 835 00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:14,519 what I'm currently taking, Like do you think these are 836 00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:16,519 all good? And she's like, yes, these are all great. 837 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,079 Keep taking these. So kind of gave me some reassurance 838 00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:22,239 of like knowing that the things that I'm doing is 839 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,079 working and just keep doing what you're doing. Yeah, that's 840 00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:27,519 kind of like something that I wanted to bring up 841 00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:29,760 in conversation because I feel like people assume that you 842 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,880 need to take all these supplements and vitamins in order 843 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,840 to be healthy, but you do not need to take 844 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,639 these things every single day. I think it's important to 845 00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:39,280 do the blood work if you've never gotten it done, 846 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,880 and just kind of see how your body is. And 847 00:39:42,199 --> 00:39:44,239 you know, especially if you are in the TTC journey 848 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,440 like myself, we're prepping for pregnancy and you like want 849 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,880 to know more about your body. It's really really important 850 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,320 to do that and just educate yourself on yourself. So, yeah, 851 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,440 those are things that I don't think are personally worth 852 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,280 your money. These are some obsessions that I've been loving recently, 853 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,760 especially in the spring season, and just that I've been 854 00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:04,360 obsessed with. And yeah, so that's kind of today's episode 855 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,760 just kind of influencing you guys or deinfluence you guys 856 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,440 with beauty and wellness trends or products that I've either 857 00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:13,360 been loving or not working for me personally.
