- Faces. - Wow, don't they look like these days? - Oh, these are called cakes. - One small problem. - Okay. - I don't know where the other one is. - I'm going. - They'll low-take corn chip dippers. - I put that on my chin. - That's the one thing I will do this day. - What's in your bunker? - Can corn. - That's a loser. (laughs) - Every week, on our planet calls them, like, "What about what's in my bag?" - A tech deck. - Didn't people want this content? - I'm actually surprised I don't have a hobbills in my purse, heck. (laughs) - Holding Clementine is very bonk. (laughs) - Do we have a jingle for Abby's favorite? Should we make one right now? - I'll be Fox. (laughs) - Abby's favorite. - Okay, we're in a workshop. (upbeat music) - Welcome back to Always Here, where your host, Abby Howard. - And Abby Howard. - Hello. - We should say, Abby's not here today. - She's not here. Hannah's in her seat. - She's here. - A little producer today. - Hey. - You're on the camera though, so just a microphone. - Yeah. - Yeah. (laughs) - She's like, "I was not prepared for this." Sorry, Hannah. Hannah's on our team. Okay, you guys didn't know that, so. - And yeah, Abby's just visiting her family back in Missouri. - Yeah, I keep getting mixed up with that in the cruise. - Yeah. - So your family time this week? - She's in Missouri. - Yes, that's so fun. - Yeah, yeah. - Well, we're here to share the hope and the hard with Heart and Humor. We've done this back to back to back now, so I'm like, "What is going on?" What are they gonna talk about? (laughs) - I'm sure we'll think of something. - I'm sure we'll think of something. - No, I feel like this will be a really fun episode. Last time we did this style of episode, we decided we were kind of doing this quarterly. - Yeah, does that feel too often? - No. - No, okay, sick. - I don't know, ask them. - Yeah, we did our Abby's favorite episode. This was like one of the OG formats that we thought of when we were talking about doing a podcast that we were really excited about. And originally, we were like, "Let's do it monthly." I'm not like, "Wow." - That's crazy. - That is actually crazy. - No, the last time we filmed this one, people thought we were high. - Yeah, they kept asking if we did editables or something. (laughs) I don't know why we were just so on one that day. - Here's the thing, if you don't ever do them, then just sometimes it naturally just happens. - Happens. (laughs) - It's like, "You gotta get higher once more." - Yeah, you're like, "Who just high off life?" - High off life, whatever it is. - So maybe we'll try to channel that energy again today. - Yeah, I hope we can. - I hope we can. You needed a coffee upon arrival. - Yeah, I did. - I'm in pain. (laughs) - So, I was shocked when I walked into the gym today. Who do I see? Not even just at the 830 class, but early five minutes early. - What, I came over here today. - I don't know. Truly, I don't know. I felt a little weird. - There was like an accident. - Yeah, it was. (laughs) - It just feels unnatural getting to place this five minutes early. I sat in the car and just totally my thumbs. You know, was it gonna go inside? That felt embarrassing. So, I just waited until everyone else started to go inside. - I would do the same on myself. - Yeah, really, but. - Yeah. - Yeah, that was a little stressful, but I was on time. It does make a difference when you get the warm-up a part of your workout, 'cause the warm-up's pretty difficult. - Yeah. - So I normally never make the warm-up. So that was fun. Yeah, add a little element to my workout. - Add a little element. I'm hurting. That's literally my heart. It was a really hard last year. - My body hurts so bad from that. I'm like, that was bad. - I got it, yeah. - What is it, the jumping or the running or. - The running really hurt. - Yeah. - But you know what kept me going? - What? - I saw that video of that woman that was 40 weeks pregnant that did like a five-minute mile. - Whoa. - I was like, I physically can do this. - Okay, I physically can't do a five-minute mile. - I hate you. - But I physically can run while pregnant. I can't. I literally, at this point, I can't. - I don't think you, I feel like I could it. I thought I was gonna get prolapse or something from it. - Which could happen. - It's so bad. - Yeah, just maybe listen to your body. - And I wasn't even running. Which I was really like. - Yeah. - I started running early, and I loved to run. Like I run frequently when I'm not pregnant. And the minute I start getting pregnant at like 17 weeks, I get the worst satanic pain. And like the worst pillow floor pain. I'm like, it's just not worth it. - It was the pubic bone. - Uh-huh. - But now that hurts and my lower back hurts. And I think it was the, we did squat clean jumps onto the ledge. And that was just like the most insane amount of pressure. - Yeah. - I was like, nah, I don't wanna do that. I didn't even do that move, not pregnant. - No one did that move. And I was like, yeah, I just didn't feel safe. Sam was watching me, so I was like, I'm just gonna do it. - Sure, I'll do it. - I did 12 pound weights. - Yeah, okay. - So when I was really doing anything crazy, but I was like, so then today when we did the play day with our kids, I was like, I'm sitting here at the whole time. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I literally can't possibly move. And now that both kids go potty, and at different times, I'm like, walking, you gotta get up. (laughing) - So lazy, but you know what? They didn't even notice the difference. They were having a great time at a spot and like crazy. - That was such a fun, that was a good place. - It's a good place. - You guys are right. Should we shout it out? - Shout out Super Play. - Super Play, yeah, the owner was there today, and he said they're opening up two more locations in Arizona. - Yeah, I'm such a huge fan. We have host a birthday party there before. We go there frequently. It's great because like, when you have high energy kids, but you live in a climate that is like 100 and 20 degrees. - Right. - So it's in the summertime. - It's, you gotta get out of the house, but like, what are you gonna do? We can't go to the park. You don't wanna go to the pool every single day. And so-- - I hate if your kids don't swim. It's like, what do you do, you know? - Yeah, and so it's a great air conditioned place where they can blow off some steam. It's very clean. - Super clean, right? - Very friendly, and they like have, they're very intentional about like having eyesight on a lot of areas and like no screens, and it's kind of like throwback themed. - Yeah, it was really cute. Yeah, they had a lot of fun, see if it was obsessed. - Their soft pressels are insane. - It looked, yeah, I was like huge. - Don't start it, because once you start, you can't stop. - Okay, good. Once you're, they're so good. They shouldn't be. - Yeah. - So that's my hard, what's your hard? - I don't really have a hard, I was laughing because I posted a video with Caleb that he's been doing the shed, you know? And someone commented and I got a couple of messages being like, you talking on the podcast about how burned out he isn't giving him this massive house project to do. I was like, you know what, fair? And you know what, he did tell me, he is birds out officially. So I'm like, great, sorry. But it's a hobby, maybe. It's like filling, fulfilling. - This is filling your cup, right? - Very, this is creative. - Creative outlet, yes. - But I'm not like putting the pressure on him to finish it. It will just be really nice to have the separate office space when it is done. So he's kind of feeling motivated to do that. But I don't think we have like a serious hard. - Yeah, just that. - No, mine's not serious. - Yeah, yeah. - Mine, my pubic bone will be okay. - And yes, you just lay down after this. Lay the whores on only in your pool. - Yeah, yeah. - Just flat. - That's what I'm, that's coming up later. - Just get all the pressure off that. That sounds amazing. But my hope though, this is just also so light. But I feel like there was a stretch there where we ate out so much 'cause we were traveling back to back. Eating at home actually has healed me. Not my, I still have some problems. But just everything about it, I just feel a lot better. - Yeah, the inflammation in your body probably. - I just like eating at home, I just do. I feel better. I guess maybe it's inflammation, I don't know what it is. - Well, it's really crazy, like, 'cause I cook almost every single meal at home. - Yeah. - I mean, we, it's not even like a once a week we eat out. Like, we very, rarely eat out. And so when we do go through spurts, like on a vacation or a trip where we're eating out constantly, it is like really a night and day difference in how we feel. And I think it is just, you know, a different sodium. And maybe it's like, you're eating unhealthy foods. It's just the oils and everything are different. - Yeah. - You just feel it when you're used to a certain thing. - Yeah, and I think it's just, I don't know. You can control the portions more. - There's also that. Like, yeah, for sure. - I don't know. I just feel a lot better. And I just feel like sometimes eating out just, I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm just spent so much for me. Like, I'm just that, now I can make that at home. - Totally. - Just feel better about everything. - For sure, for sure. My hope, it's actually really exciting. - My dad is a radio DJ in St. Louis. And he's done that on the same radio station for 50 years. - That's so cool. - Isn't that crazy? So this-- - Had him on the pod. - Had him on the pod. He would love to. He would love to. - And his jaw would be for 50 years. And so-- - Your dad's jaw is my dad's worst fear. - No, it's true. Everyone was like, bring the dads on. I'm like, I just don't think we'd get both dads. - No. - I would have some time. - I know. - I'll just do something with my dad on my own. - It's an extreme phobia. (both laughing) - He is having the radio station. It's a rock station. So they're throwing him like a big, well, they're doing a huge concert and then they're honoring him at this concert. - That's so cool. - Yeah, so I'm going home for it on Friday, just for like a 24 hour trip. I know, it's going to be a whirlwind just like a turnaround thing. But we're going to go on stage and present an award to him. My sisters and I, they put together a little video that, and John, our father-in-law, and all of their uncles, like Uncle Bob, Uncle Brett, they're all going, - Aww. - I'm going to be on stage like, hey, uncle. (both laughing) - Hey, brother-in-law. - I know. And they have a compilation video that's so CJ and Vivi and put a little video in. - Congratulations. - Congratulations. - My dad. So yeah, it'll be really fun. - That's really sweet. - That'll be great. - I'm excited. And I'm excited just to see my sisters and hang out with them. So I'm really, even though it's just be a day, I'm pumped. - That makes it fun. - It totally does. Yeah, so that'll be this weekend. So I'm sure I'll recap it when I get back. But yeah. - We thought it'd be kind of fun today and it kind of fitting with this episode of doing favorites to do what's my bag. Element, and when I say we, I mean, Abby, because she carries a bag and I don't carry bag regularly. So mine's gonna be every week on our planet calls. I'm like, what about what's in my bag? I think I'm recommend. I need this. I need, you know, what to put in a bag. Because here's the thing. We went to New York and I had a purse 'cause I rented it from like fashion past to my outfits and I was like, I need to carry this. And I was like, guys, look who's in my purse. One lipstick. - No, I'm up. I think you'll see in my purse, it's mostly lipstick. - Okay, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's see. What's in our bag? - Okay, do it. - I'm gonna be literally just at authentic. I just grabbed this from my mud room. - Yes, same. - I don't know. - Nothing has opened. - Nothing has changed. - Okay, my bag. - Do you wanna go first? - I think you should go first. - Mine's a little heavier. - Thank you. - No, mine's heavy, but I don't know. - Okay, well let me show off the bag first. This is my coach outlet. I think it's the air and shoulder bag and chocolate brown. It's my favorite bag. I'm obsessed with it. I'm gonna start with the outside pockets first because those are boring and easy. Okay, the one pocket, I have two size three million-moon diapers from Miss Vivian. And I also, look, first lippy. Let's kind of up at the end. Vaseline lip therapy rosy lips. I don't love this. - Oh, I was gonna say I never seen you use that one. - Yeah, it's not that good. But, you know, went in doubt. Okay, the other side, I have two outer pockets. I have two size five pull-up diapers for CJ. I also have some wipes from Helobello. These ones are scented, but they're not scented. - They're not scented. - It's like essential oiled. - No. - All right, they're. - Give me that. - I use those. - Allo, I know, and they smell nice. - Allo is not essential. - They smell. Yeah. - I don't think I'm not smell anything. - They smell nice. (laughs) - Oh, and ladies, you know, we're back to this. So there's two lights, which is not doing nothing for nobody. (laughs) But, you know, just in case it's an emergency. - You can double them. - Oh, I got three of those. Okay, now to the main pocket. I have a organic apple sweet potato. I actually should probably throw this away, 'cause I think it's, I think it's a had some extreme heat to it. So we're gonna throw, we're gonna throw. - Plastic. - Put that one in, yeah. Get that microplastic out of here. - Get that microplastic out of here. I have my sunglasses. These are some ray bands that I love. Got them for Christmas. And within this case, it's actually a part wallet. So I have a couple of my insurance cards. - Andy. - I have a debit card in there. - Andy. - Yeah, I'm like, you know, I always bring that around. And then a two to, I'm sorry, tether toy. I always call them chew toys. - They are. - It's grunchy. My keys. I have. - I've never seen you wear a scrunchy. - Yeah. I don't know why that's in there. That's got a lot of hair, it's going out of it. I just got this Hansenitizer at Trader Jace. - They have good Hansenitizer. - Yeah, it smells delicious. - I love that one. - I have three pens. These are the best pens. The Pilot G207. Love it. I should've bought this in my list when we're going to the list. This is a great pen. I've used these since college specifically. - Good pens. - Okay, I have the little super goop, unseen sunscreen. I just keep my bag, throw it in my part on my face. There's a lot in this bag. - No, I think this is very, all this makes sense. - Yeah, thank you. - I'm taking notes. - I have a little chocolate trail mix. This is my favorite one from Trader Jace. Yeah, cashews, almonds, and chocolate. - Chocolate. (laughing) How does that not melt? - I just put it in today. I was going to eat it, but then you got me that salad zone. - Okay. - I did them a lot for that one. - Why? (laughing) - I have some trash. - Okay, that's what mine's all good at. - Yeah, okay. Then I have, should we count the lipsticks? About to come out? - Yeah. - Okay, I actually love this. - We have good lips. - Thank you. - So dress them up. - This is the tocha, the kissy lip mask. This is like their, it's your favorite. - I love this. It's like the lineage version of it. - It's really good. - Yeah. - Okay, then I have two of the Cosis lip pulse glassy lip pumpers in these pinks that are really pretty. My favorite lipsticks ever are from Merit. This is the signature lip. It's really, really hydrating. I'm a very, very dry grilly. The color bespoke is my favorite I have it on right now. And then the color ginger is like a orangey brown. It's also very pretty. - That would be a good color on you. - Really good color. Thank you so much. Okay, then I have the Bucsum. I took this from your pure closet. - Great. - I love it. - I'm helping lip creme in Mexican hot chocolate. - Ooh. - Fantastic color. Then I have the Merit lip liner signature lip in bespoke. I have a kissing jelly. It's actually empty. So I'm gonna throw that one away. - Okay. - This is like cleaning out my bag. - It's a good idea. - The one skin lip SPF. I really like this. We didn't add it with one skin. And I really like this. - Yeah, you know what I always thought it was weird that you put sunscreen in your lips and my lips got burnt last weekend. - Really? Yeah, I have to because I get freckles on my lips. I got more. I got a Merit Juku Juicy Lipstick from Tarte in Hibiscus. I have a roll line of Ralph Lauren midnight rope. This surely is expired. - Midnight romance. I haven't had that since high school. - How did it end up in your brand new bag? - I think I thought it was my dime one that I've been transferring over. Okay. Another bespoke lip liner. My Jones Road cool gloss and pink culture in my elf lip lacquer in Wild Rose Rose. So if you guys are ever wondering and then I have some gift cards in cash, I'm not gonna show you guys, sorry. That's it. - How much cash you got in there? That's what you want. - I think I have $10. - Oh. - No, I'm sorry. Oh, I got some singles. I have $13. - Ooh, yeah. - That's surely from my mom. She surely gave me some money and I kept it. - That's sweet. - No, I think she, I actually know what that's from. It's when we went to the baseball game. She gave me some cash. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. 10, 11, 12, 12 lipsticks in there. You just got to start throwing them in there. - I just started throwing them. - Yeah, and three pens of the same kind. Throw them in there. Throw them in. Yeah, that's my bag. Thank you. Thank you, I got a little sweaty. Was that too long? - No, you were going so fast. - Oh, okay, 'cause I thought I was boring people. - I'm gonna really have to go fast because this is all just, this is pathetic. - This is, I do like this bag. It's actually a diaper bag. - Love. - You can wear it as a backpack or as, it doesn't look like a diaper bag. Which I feel like was acceptable because I had two toddlers. I was like, I don't need a full-on diaper bag. - I like the shape of that a lot. - Okay. (laughs) - Well, that doesn't just diaper. - Just trash. (laughs) Hand sanitizer, which actually this is something I will say. This is a parenting hack. Spray hand sanitizer. I feel like what I've figured it out is just the only way because it just rolls off our hands. - Yeah. - Hate the smell of this though, actually, do you smell that? - The touch land? - No. This is an operand. - Operand touch land. (laughs) - You know what that reminds me of a lips mackers, like the kids one. - Yeah, it smells like a kid thing, totally. - Okay, great. Got our study book right here. - Oh, beautiful. - Oh, wow, just like so much kids trash. (laughs) Goldfish. - Peruvian gummy worms. - I had a sore throat for about four weeks. - Wow. - So there's a bunch of cough drops in there. - Flavor. - Crayons. Oh, the Ludens sugar-free wild cherry. - Never tried. - They taste good. They don't necessarily make your throat feel better though. - They never do. - Another hand sanitizer. - Perfect. - Little hairbrush. - Oh. - It's actually the tangle teaser, but just a smaller one. - Oh, that's cool. It's actually really good. I mean, I can't show you how many crayons are in here. - Are they in the box? - They all fell out. - So just the box and then a bunch of crayons. - Oh, in the bottom. And you know what, here's all my cough drops. - Oh, perfect. - I came with a half a couple beef sticks. - Yeah. (laughing) - Not surprised by that. - Oh my gosh. - Got quite a, like, I mean, I can't even tell you how many things of Play-Doh. - What Abby is this bag? Where'd you go that you brought all this stuff? - I need Play-Doh where we go. - You bring Play-Doh to restaurants? - Yes. - Really. - I put Play-Doh out of restaurants. - That's, and then he cramps. - That's true. - That's true. - A little craft that Griffin made. - Cute. - Jesus, this is forever. (laughing) - Oh, I actually intentionally gave this one because it's uncle. - That's so cute. I have ours on the fridge. - And there's that bookmark that our friend made us. - I love that, I use mine. - I do as, that's clearly in my bag, so. - Have you used this bag since when? (laughing) - Yeah, actually. (laughing) - It does go with me places. - Thank you. - A bunch of napkins. - Perfect. - Oh, this was smart. This was smart. Never used it though, tied to go stick. - That is smart. - That was smart. I had a good thought there. - That's smart. - A couple clips. - Perfect. - I keep these sticks. - I actually pulled these clips out of my bag when I got here. - See? - I was prepared, pencil. - I feel like a pencil is a lost utility in my house. We have one mechanical pencil. - I actually specifically like these pencils. - I remember loving those in school. - They're really good. And I also do have a specific lead count I like, and this isn't the right one. - Shucks. - I like a thicker lead. - Yeah. - Oh. - A tech deck. (laughing) - Did people want this content? - I'm actually surprised I don't have a hot wheels in my purse. - Because the little wheel things, a tech deck, an eight. - Perfect. - These tech decks are really cool. - Those are really cool. - But you have to know that they, this is so niche. They come, the real tech decks come without the wheels and like all this on there. - Did you build it? - I had to build it and he was like I, like this was a really fun idea, I mean. (laughing) - He was gonna take me two hours to do like three of them. - It's like the teeniest, tiniest. - Not a tech deck. - Oh, heck. (laughing) - Holding Clementine is very bonk. (laughing) - I don't think this is the content they wanted. - Microplastics, I can't believe it. (laughing) - At least we know what this toy is. (laughing) - I don't recognize this. - I don't recognize this. - Got some super, super besogs missing. - Super besogs missing. - This is my gripe. Every indoor play place requires their own personal sauce. - Of course. - And I surely never have the right one in the right bag at the right time. - I just always keep mine in the car. - This is from the airplane. - Yeah, bunch of, what are those tickets? - Boarding passes. - Boarding passes and also bag tags. That's everything. I mean, that was entertaining. That's a true bomb bag. That is a true bomb bag. That is so spooky scary. And, you know, I promised I'd give people authenticity and that is what she is. (laughs) - It's another tag tag. - Oh, Ricola! (laughs) - Ooh! - Yeah, don't look in there. I don't want to be literally-- - She's been sick, ladies and gentlemen. - Yeah, I was sick, okay. (laughs) - Literally, I was like, I showed up. I was like, "Oh, my gosh, a lippy." - I don't like this one. - Is that your only lip product? - Only lip product. - Do you not get dry lips? - It's messed up how the ratio of tag tags to lip products in here. (laughs) The ratio is off. Oh, wait. - Oh, what is this? - Oh, what is this? - Oh, what is this? - This is a smart, a little deodorant stick. - Oh, that's deodorant? - Oh, that's cool. - Oh, okay. - Oh, shoot. It's fine. (laughs) - Another bag in there. - A mineral sunscreen. - That's the one that you showed last time. That has the brush. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's really nice. - That's good. - And then another lip product. - Ooh, that's red. - Yeah. - Do you use that? - Mm-hmm. (laughs) - I've never seen a red. - This is getting really goofy, really fast. We gotta put this away. - I don't know. - This thing is scary. I need lessons. I need lessons and I need help. - I need lessons. - There's a thing, that gets so heavy too. - Get it, too. - They do. - The kids are like, "I can't carry my own water bottle." And I'm like, "Just throw it in my bag." 50 pounds later. - That's the beauty of the dune. You can just throw it in them on a little boy. (laughs) Sometimes I hear P.V. hold that. - Thank you. (laughs) - You give her a whole hydrate? - Yes, yes. And I have a hook on it so I'll have mine on the hook and then I'll have CJ's just kind of resting in there. - I need to get a hook. - Yeah. - I need to find a hook. - I think Teresa got it from you off T-Moo. - I'm serious, it's a great hook. - Okay, well. - Yeah. - Hi. - Remember she went through, I remember she had one season where she really loved T-Moo when it first came out and she got a bunch of little gadgety things and I used that every day. - Yeah, we did give a lot of gadgets. - Yeah, that's fun. Okay, that was a great warm up. - Sweating. - See, it is stressful. - It is stressful. - I feel like nervous I was boring people, but. - Me too. - That's a lot of lip products. - Ooh, that was good. I'm glad we did that. - So we didn't bore you. - Glad we got that offer check. - Yeah, I need an overhaul. We just needed to let you guys know every part of our lives, especially what's in our bags. - Guess based on our bag, what if we're Taipei or Taipei. - Thank you to ZockDock for sponsoring this portion of today's episode. - I am a big fan of ZockDock. - Seriously. - I used it literally last month to book Hill a doctor's clothing because we have not had as damaged doctors since we moved to Phoenix. And it was so easy to find a doctor. And that feels like such an overwhelming task. There are so many criteria to find a good doctor. And I really felt like ZockDock made it simple. - Oh, seriously. We actually, Matt and I were talking about this. We feel like a certain type of shame sometimes we're not having established a primary care doctor where we are, but it's a very overwhelming task. And like you said, ZockDock makes that whole process feel very possible. And the turnaround is so fast. - Same day sometimes. - Yes. ZockDock is great. It is a free app if you don't know what it is. And website that helps you find and book high quality in network doctors so you can find someone you love. We're talking about booking in network appointments with more than 150,000 providers across 50 states. So whether you're looking for something in the realm of dermatology or dentistry, primary care, eye care, or any of the other 200 plus specialties offered on ZockDock, you can easily search by specialty or symptoms to build a care team that's right for you. And like Abby said, they also find ones that go with your health insurance that are in network for you. And we've used them for several different specialties and every single time we're booking really quick appointments. And it's just such a great resource to have.

(laughing) - It sucks. - Ah, it's bees. - Abby's favorites. (laughing) - It's so depressing. - Yeah. - Okay. - All right. I have some show and tell, but some of it, Matt took the car, he had to go somewhere and a lot of it's in my car. - Perfect. - All of it. - All of it. - We should never do is what's in my car video. (laughing) - Sometimes I open it and I'm like, "How many clipping times will be in there?" - It's terrifying. We'll under the seat forever. - Okay, first up we're doing beauty and skincare, which I had a lot of fun in this list apartment. Okay, number one, what is your ride or dye moisturizer? - I didn't have one actually for that. - Oh, yes I did. - Okay, I'm here. - I love the Hydro, what's it called? Hydro boost. - I've never heard of that. - Oh, is it blue? - Yeah. - Abby's essence college. - Nice. - I like it for during the day because it's really light on the skin and it goes well under makeup. - Yeah. - It's the most hydrating one you can get, but I feel like you want the hydration at night anyway. I don't want anything heavy on the skin, especially in the summertime. - Okay. - Yeah. - Man, I both love that one. - Yeah, I think Kielb's used that one. - It's a gel, it's not a cream. - I do like a gel moisturizer. My favorite is the La Roche Posse Double Repair Moisturizer. I think it has a weird name, like Double Repair Tolerane or something like that, but it's really good. - I have thick. - It is really thick, but I have super dry skin. So I need something that's a little more full strength. - You know, needs to really soak into my face. - Do you wear that during the day? - I wear it all the time. - Oh, okay. - I'll put my moisturizers around in the morning after I shower midday and then at night. - Yeah, same. - So yeah, I put on three times a day. - Okay, wow. - Yeah, I put it on a lot. But it does do the trick. I mean, you can get it at Target and all that too. - I feel like you get a lot of it. - This stuff is really, really good. - Really good, everything. I love it. - This one, I mentioned last time, but I'm gonna keep talking about it. The product I repurchased without thinking every single time is the Ilias skin tint. - So good. - I have not repurchased a product more times than that one. - Same, I think. - Like, it just is an automatic rebuy when it's done. - Yeah. - And I wouldn't say it's like, I think it's fairly priced, but I wouldn't say it's cheap to just like, impulsively buy, but it's like, yeah, I need it. - I know. - Assembly, it's a necessity at this point. - Do you have an issue with it spilling all over your bags? - You gotta be careful. - Yeah, I keep riding in a plastic bag. - That's smart. - 'Cause it's blown out so many times, and I've had so many people message blown out so many times, and people have messaged me. And I messaged them, the company, and they were like, yeah, we're working on it. It hasn't changed anything, so that's fine. - Yeah, closing it really tight? - Super. - Ooh, I know. Okay, the product I repurchased, I, these are new, and I've repurchased them twice now. It's the Therese and Honor iPatches. I'm really into it. I'm in the iPatch game. And I've tried the collagen ones, the pink, the yellow one, which is the vitamin C, and the blue, which I've got. Which is the vitamin C, and the blue, which is something else. - What? - Is this the brand of, I don't even know. - Therese and Honor. Yeah, they just want Amazon to create and skin care brand. - They're the ones that like everyone uses. - No, I haven't seen anybody. I just bought them on Amazon 'cause they have good reviews, and they're really effective. Like I noticed a massive difference in my under eyes, and they're affordable. Like, road iPatches, I don't, you know, can you look up the price and how many you get? But normally you'll get like, maybe 10 patches. - But there's no use. - Yes, it's just annoying. And you just don't get that many in a pack. What is it for the road, for example? Sephora has six of them for 25 bucks. - Six iPatches, single use for 25 bucks. There's 30 patches in the Therese and Honor for 20 bucks. So it's a whole month of iPatches for $20. That's a big difference. And they really work. I like the college and ones the best in the pink. Yeah. - You put it on the right when you wake up? - Yeah, it's, I love it. - I feel like my kids were fascinated in talking. - I'll get kept up, put it up. - I was like, what is that? - Every morning I was like, you woulda poke it. - Really? - Did you have a beauty item that was actually worth a hype? - I put the Supergoop sunscreen, but-- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would agree. And I hate saying that. I have it. - I want to play with you until I really would agree with that. - And I hate saying that because this sunscreen is so expensive. I like, this is the Supergoop play. People said that unseen sunscreen that I keep my purse, there's a Trader Joe's Dope. - Really? - Yeah, so if you're at Trader Joe's and you see it, maybe pick it up and try it. But I'm allergic to majority of sunscreens, actually. They give me full body rashes. And the Supergoop I haven't had any reaction to, it's a really lightweight and I have not had a single sunburn. - I think it's worth it's-- - It's really good. - Because it also, like it is skincare. - Yeah, it is. - Where you justify spending a lot on skincare. - Right. - And there's some creepy things in sunscreen. - Yeah. - And this has lasted me a long time, like we live in this, I've been using this maybe since April. And I'm still full. - It's so easy to rub in. I hate when it's so hard to rub in. - Especially with shade. - You have a moving target. - Totally agree. I love it. - Yeah. - The Roche pussy also has a good one. - I do, I have the kids one in here. - Yeah, that was what I was gonna say. - I love the kids one. And it's not so thick to where it doesn't rub in on them. Like it rubs in really well on CJ. - Oh yeah, yeah. - And it doesn't turn to skin purple. Some of the minimal ones turn their skin really, like, and then I don't know if they're confirmed. - I thought it was. Now I'm confused. I guess it's not a mineral. Well, it's cleaner. - This one is mineral. Um, you're gonna be able to talk as it like it does go on like purpley white, but it does rub in really well And it doesn't even cast what is it the freaks of nature one? Where do you get that? I think they have it at Target. I've never even heard of that brand. That's cool. It's new, I think wow So this one is a good one if you are wanting mineral, especially if you go to Hawaii Do you want a mineral because of the reefs? Yeah, do they have just like a lotion one and not a spray or is it just spray? I'm sure they have a lotion. I believe - okay fun. I do think okay on the topic of lip things I'm not an expert on lip products, but I do love the summer Fridays ones and I feel like everyone always talks about these I'm gonna think they talk about road or summer Fridays, but this new one. What is this look at the color? Can I put it on? Yeah I've never actually tried a summer Friday. It would look so good on your lip like that color I love her for a minute and it does looks good on you. I'm gonna get my lipstick off Um, I really like the smells good like as it gives you just enough like little color It smells really good and this thing last I have this one Well, I have one I've had for almost a year and it's well. That's a big - it is big - that's a big tube Yeah, so I mean it they they charge a lot for a lip product, but you can wear it for a really long time Yeah, what is it? This is vanilla beige. I think these are 27 and then does it have SPF? No SPF that does feel really nice in the lips though. It does actually don't think it smells good Do you like a smell? I don't dislike the smell, but I don't think it's like their birthday cake one smells really good. Oh yeah 24 24. Okay, so that's like a Nice like a high-end. Yeah, because other ones that have color I feel like dry out my lips and this one has color and yeah, okay, I like that My current makeup obsession. It's it's got to be this merit signature. I'm gonna talk about lips It's in the color bespoke I have a handful of these and multiple of their colors. They're my favorite lipsticks up ever worn really They're so hydrating and I don't think the colors are like You know sometimes you put a lipstick on and it has color and it like goes into the creases on your lips And it just doesn't go on old enough to wear lipstick I didn't either until I got this and I'll never go back like I love this lipstick so much and also this is like the perfect color for me it's like a Newtie brown but pretty and they have the lip liners that go with them and they're just really good products I love everything merit. I love it. I love it. It is really good. My favorite makeup brand next We're doing our current makeup obsession. I don't know. I think obsession is strong for this but I've started using the well-people powder from Amazon and I love a translucent powder. I know it's not trendy right now I mean not because you have dry skin. Yeah, but for me I would like a little powder especially to set my under eye concealer I literally just put it briefly underneath my like a little bit underneath my eyes and then just in my t-zone I like dot it with a little makeup triangle and Their powder their powder is clean and it does it's amazing. Wow. It's a loose translucent powder When you okay, here's what's always throwing me off with the translucent powder Do you put it in like the lid? Yes, okay, and then I just dab it in there. Yes, because you know when you put it in the powder itself It just it's like way too much. You can't even do that because it has like a little dial But yeah, that would be way too crazy. That would be great. That would be a lot I feel like it sets my that my concealer so it my mascara doesn't drip down the day or like anything settle into my creases Uh-huh. I like it. I should try that. I've always wanted to try the under eye powder But yeah, I'm dry, but I feel like it helps brighten your under eye so much. It does it brightens it so much And this one's so light on the skin I feel like a lot of them are really heavy where it's like your skin underneath your eyes is so is different from the rest of your face It's so thin, okay, and so putting anything heavy on it just makes it look like It goes in the crease. It's not good. This one's so lightweight, but then on a lot of those powders What do they use? I think they use like talc and That's not I don't know. Yeah, I don't think you want to use that Yeah, I don't think talc is if it's not a praise. It's not it's not highly Not highly recommended, but it's clean and it's it's amazing I'll continue to repurchase one as long as it's available on. Okay. I was using the Ilya one But this one's much much cheaper. What was it called again? It's called well people is the brand and you get off Amazon You get off Amazon. Okay. I've never heard of that. Well people translucent powder fun My my answer for that one was the merit bespoke on the merit one though since you love merit You use their bluer stick. No, you've never used it. No, what do you use it for? Okay? This thing is so cool I saw an ad and I was like this would be so good for like I think about like our moms generally wait. What's the difference between a bluer stick and the What's it called? They're like mean I Think this is their main thing. Yeah, I have it in a handful clothes. We have never used it Okay, you literally it's just like those ads. It's like a crayon you just put it on your skin Uh-huh, and then I do kind of think you need their brush. Their brush is good rub it in and your skin is literally looks totally new But it feels like nothing's on your skin. Huh, and it's clean Do you put it on over your skin turn? Just do it on Daisy. Don't use the skin. I just do some days I don't use the skin tint. Yeah, and um, especially if I'm like, okay I'm gonna go to the gym and then I'm gonna go do something afterwards But I want to feel slightly put together like I don't know why if I have a doctor's appointment after Yeah, Jai. I'm like I want to have a little something. Mm-hmm, and this combo is amazing It literally is like you could put this in your car and just you'll feel put together That's only seconds my older sister she works in the hospital and she was saying that a nurse or won't be Her other another PA with her was wearing that and they were talking about how much they love that product It's crazy. Yeah, it's actually very wild how it works. Okay. I have they've sent it to me in a couple different colors I've never used it because I'm like what do you mean? You put marks like all of your face and I have to blend it It doesn't feel weird. It does feel weird and you you don't need as much as you think you do. Oh, I would say like you could literally just like Interesting, and then it blends in so well. It literally just it blurs your entire skin. I don't really understand how they do it What's it called? It's got a name the minimalist? Minimalist. Yes, that's what this is. That's what that is the minimalist. Yeah. Okay. I'll have to try my mind I've been calling it the wrong game this whole time when you said blursick I didn't know what you meant, but it is the minimalistic. Okay. It's the minimalistic That's a mouthful of the minimalistic. It's not like one word, but minimalist really does stick minimalist stick I think if you're like I feel like I use Ilya skin tint and I feel really put together I'm also recording myself a lot. Mm-hmm. I think the average daily wear that would be amazing Yeah, it's a little bit maybe a lighter option because I wear the Ilya skin tint when I'm like doing a full face of makeup too Yeah, that's my like foundation kind of. No, that's my yeah, I don't go more than yeah, I don't just wear that like every day Okay, the product that makes me feel put together in 30 seconds. Did you have one for this? That was mine. What was oh the minimalistic? Yeah. No, it's perfect Okay, yeah, you did the minimalistic that makes me feel put together in 30 seconds. I would believe that mine is My dress and my mega control hair drill. Here's my thing about that. Okay, let me hear it You use that for makeup, but you bring that whole huge bottle. No, they always have this in the travel section. Okay. Yes I have a travel one that I keep my makeup bag. Okay, I use this on my eyebrows, but that's still pretty big for your makeup bag I guess I keep it in my tool trees bag. Okay, it doesn't go in my makeup bag. Okay. Okay. I use this on my Obviously my dirty hair days. I do a lot of slick backs this if my hair looks bad I'm just gonna slick it back 30 seconds done I also use this on my eyebrows every day.

Thank you Beauty splurge I'd buy again tomorrow. This isn't necessarily beauty, but my curling iron I have the bio-ionic long one. Yeah, and It was a splurge. I looked back at that probably I bought it years ago, and it has no it's never done me wrong Really my hairdresser used it on my hair, and I was like oh, I really like this, and it's very gentle. I don't know what the The blades are I think it's tidy I have such a beef. I have such I have such a curling iron Crisis, what is your curling iron crisis? I had the best curling iron I bought it in high school And it had double had changing barrels and they were ceramic barrels And my hair held that curl for days like so well never use hairspray like the curl was so unbelievable It went out after kill when I got married. I purchased four different barrels and Curling once and I got stuck with one that I just didn't return fast enough, and I hate it. It's a titanium barrel. I don't like it. I know I don't know what mine is. It says that they have ones with a ceramic metal complex or titanium Is it silver? No, is it black? Yeah, then it's probably ceramic. Okay. Yeah, it's the best I think ceramic cold makes the best curl these this this curling iron. I can curl my hair super super fast It it's really really good and if it broke I would repurchase it Shoot away. That's how you know it's good. Yeah, I've used it for years and years and years, and I feel like a good curling iron is something that I'm like It's a little extra spending. Yeah, and it doesn't it does not damage or crisp up my hair Yeah, I really don't think it does. I hate my So I'm doing some damage, but I have the 1.25 inch, which I feel like is with all the changing hair trends I feel like 1.25 is very neutral and it like it has served me through all of them. Uh-huh. That's good Mine that I put is the fresh rose water toner my roommate in college bought this she went through a skincare face She bought so much skincare and then she didn't end up using it So she gave it to me and I was like this is so cool, and I used it all it completely changed my skin And then I went to buy it and I was like, wow, it's 45 dollars. I'm so upset about that, but I continued to purchase it For about six years Twice a year. I would go through two of the big bottles a year. So I'm like, okay, every six months I think I can cough up 45 dollars for a product that's truly changing my skin And I haven't purchased it within the last year because I've just PR other skin care stuff has been sent and I want to use up stuff that I have But I will be repurchasing this again. It really was so good on my skin And it smells good. It's super hydrating. If you don't have dry skin, you don't need it But it's a really good product. Well, I tried the Marriott on those bush I'm not kidding. You can actually make rose water Really, I mean is it literally just? No, I think there's other stuff Yeah, yeah, cuz I tried them up Mario Badescu Rosewater toner trash not good so bad And so I tried some other ones to offset the price of this one and the road the fresh is the best I know Super good. I love the smell of roses. It's really pretty. It's amazing. No, amazing product Our next category is the drugstore fine. I'm telling everyone about I love this stuff. Jurgen's natural glow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's very subtle But if you do it if you keep up with it, I feel like it's just it's very maintainable totally I'm doing it actually is hydrating. I remember when they came out with that I was in middle school. I have such a distinct memory. I remember it - I got addicted. I was like I need lotion I was addicted and I put it on so much that I got orange like all over. Oh Well, yeah, I'm sure it's changed since I was in the seventh grade For me this one you cannot mess up. Okay, because if you could I would have I also was 11 So you know, I mean it's gonna look crazy My mom was like you need a stop you need a stop my drugs are fine This is the verse vitamin C skin brightening serum love it vitamin C apparently is really important and really good to use And I noticed a big difference in my skin when I used it really affordable. Get that target It's the verse brand. I really like all their stuff. I use their under eye concealer too. I've never used anything by them Yeah, I know I got on their pure list and they sent me some stuff and I was like wait I love this and I will be purchasing it all with my own money. Nice. I mean C serum. Yes It's I think is there skin brightening here when you put that in your routine at the end of the day. No, I do it morning and night Oh my god. I do everything all the time. Oh my gosh. I know. I can't think about splitting it up The only thing I don't do twice a year my eye patches. I only do those in the morning I think that's why I like that The scent I'm wearing on repeat once again, or I don't think I talked about this last time But this has been a staple all my life and it especially comes back in the spring and summer. I love daisy oh so fresh Oh Like that's a I like the daisy by mark Jacobs is fine, but the oh so fresh it smells so like bright and honestly It reminds me of when Matt and I started dating so I like love it My bag Okay, go for it It's episode's getting casual. No pot of gold I have my eyepatches. I'm not showing the things. These are the eyepatches. Okay. This is the bottom and see one I like the pink ones a little bit better Okay, I'm using the dime stay a while Odu perfume. This is their new scent. Look. Oh first of all this bottle is really pretty so beautiful No, my other bottles are not that pretty I Love this scent. They just dropped this right around Mother's Day. It's a little sweeter than seven summers I think seven summers is the muskier version. This is a vanilla scent I mean, I love vanilla. I love love love this so much and dime perfumes are all clean Which I really love especially when I'm holding my babies, you know, which is nothing nothing transfers and makes them itchy So I can't recommend this enough. I love it. If you like sweet cents and you like vanilla, you'll like this It's really good. Do you want perfume every day? I do or pretty today I used to wear the mark Jacobs daisy. I loved it so much, but I actually smell bad on me Because you know sometimes when they mix with your skin. They don't smell that just happen to that one smell bad Just happy. I continued to buy it because I still like I haven't quite understand that like I know that it's the pH levels, but like this flight attendant Remember we went to New York to fight it in and that smells so good. Yeah, I went to go purchase his clone for yourself Yep, because it's smell it was like a feminine. Okay On him at least on me it smelled I couldn't get away from me Good thing you tested it. Yeah, I remember when I was like, okay, so this was a male flight attendant It smelled amazing like actually so good and I and it wasn't overwhelming, but I knew it was him that like smelled so good And so I like was just sitting in my seat as one of those things where I was just like wow do I have social anxiety? Because I was like do I say cologne or do I say perfume? I couldn't I couldn't figure it out because I was like I don't know if this is in my head. It wasn't a clone I was overthinking it and I was like I don't want to think I'm trying to make him girly your smell is amazing. I want my fragrance Fragrance is good. I want my fragrance safe safe. That was really I was like, well, I'm really over thinking this Like I don't think you'd be offended if he said cologne. I don't think so. I mean yeah, I don't think so. No, that's funny He wasn't like a super masculine guy. I wanted his scent. So of course I love it. Well, let's move on to fashion. Yeah, I feel like I my beauty. I'm not beautiful right now Yes, you are. I don't well. I mean I haven't been feeling inspired by buy beauty products. Yes, I've been buying a lot of new clothes See I'm in the opposite. I feel like I've been doing a lot in beauty because I just felt not Great about you know, I didn't feel comfortable in my skin So I didn't buy any clothes for a long time or anything. Nothing fits me. Yeah, exactly. It's hard. Yeah. Well, see I was like, well, it's just Squeezing It but do you have it noticeable? No, you look amazing this outfit formula. I'm living in my girlfriend's got me this set from target for my birthday It's these shorts. It's from joy lab. I know and they got me the matching like a shirt to go with it They're so cute. They're mid-rise, which I really like. I love that color combo. Thanks. Yeah, you can't really hear me talk But it's a mid-rise they're shorter than I've worn in a long time Which is probably why I like them so much because I've only been wearing like longer shorts. I'm pretty tall so I feel like Lengths and in seams can be a little tricky sometimes and these are really fun And I love the color and the material all of them. It's fun too. It's like a sweatshirt material It's so fun. Joy lab. That's a brand so cute. Okay my outfit formula. I'm living it I'm literally wearing it today because I knew we're gonna talk about this and I wore it the last episode same formula different colors This skirt is from Quince really pretty and I feel like everyone has been wearing white skirts like this recently But this is a skirt that I can for sure where now it's not uncomfortable at all right now Even though it's very tight. Yeah, it's not squeezing me at all. It doesn't leave marks on me and I'll be able to wear it once Baby comes to and then these Bra-free camis from Abercrombie. I was wondering if that was the Abercrombie one. It's so cute. Yeah, okay You can tell I'm not wearing a bra. It's not giving support, but it smooths everything and I'm like yeah care We just need the nips cover. Just cover the nips. I just want my nips cover. Yeah, send me personally if I get cold I don't want people to know. Yeah, I'm sometimes you're still getting. I know it's time to get a mind of the room But no, I like literally bought a ton of these there I would say they're a little bit more like you're spending a little bit more but the quality is so good as matches the price Like they're double-lined. They're thick. They have like a small pad on the inside So that smooths everything out and I just you can't wear them enough. Yeah, you can dress them up dress them down and yeah, they fit the bum I really think this is a formula that I'm just gonna continue to wear for the likes. I like that skirt I didn't realize I was from Quince. Oh my gosh. Yeah, and I feel like white is spooky scary, but I haven't had a problem yet. I probably haven't looked at it because I don't know if it would be the same length on me You can pull it up or pull it down really okay Maybe I'll get one I'll see because I really love that and I'm really into long skirts I'm trying to get my mom to get one. Yeah super cute really good quality because here's the thing white skirts like this is double-lined as well Mm-hmm, but it's very breathable. Mm-hmm. It's cotton gauze. Yeah, that's really nice Love formula. What are your most worn shoes right now? I lost them But they're good. What what do you mean you lost them? Rock flip flops. They have these jelly flip flop cute Abby, what do you mean you lost them in this house? I think I think they're in my mudroom somewhere Shoot, I tried to look for them. It's really cute. That's so sad. You're gonna see this is a recurring theme I need to get my life organized The nesting stress of like getting everything more nice. It could be in a suitcase somewhere that I forgot to unpack Okay, maybe Hawaii. It could be maybe Hawaii. I haven't seen them since Hawaii. Maybe I left them in Hawaii Oh That's far They were so good while they last it. Yeah, dang you would never think they were crocs We'll link them so you can get yourself a pair. Yeah, deserve another pair They have some really cute sandals. I really do. Yeah good support. You can dress them up dressing down I mean, I'll wear them with anything. Yeah, I got the nude ones, but I almost got the pink ones because they were fun Yeah, but then I was like but shoes. I'm very practical. I have to be able to wear it with everything totally I kind of the same My most worn shoe right now is my new balance 90s 60s. Let me show you with new balance I get so confused like the numbers It's that's so hard. Wait, what's that? You were um, this is a I usually like an eight This is a US women's eight and a half yeah, and we're a big fucking video They're very dirty. I wear these all over New York. They're very comfortable to walk in. I love the color of them, I personally love a chunky shoe. I do. I know it's not popular anymore but every time I put on a flat tennis shoe my legs look weird. It's just not a flattering. I don't want to jump on that. I don't want to either. I'm like maybe if I wear pants but I live in Phoenix. I have to wear pants. Flat because those were so in. No, it's like, why do my ankles look like that? My calves. It's just not flattering on my leg. So I like a shoe that gives me a little lift and I love these. They're comfortable, they're cool. I wanted these for three years and every Christmas they were sold out and I finally got them this past Christmas and I will repurchase them in more colors. They're really cute. Thanks. I like those. Me terrible. There was a category that Abby did not answer. Call me out. It was like buying the earned a permanent spot in my closet. It's this plaid skirt. I've worn this thing to heck. I thought that was from a boutique. No, it's from Amazon. It's $50. So it's not cheap for Amazon. Some of the Amazon prices have increased a little bit. It's a little, I mean, it's a good price. I am sad because Caleb accidentally stepped on it and it did rip. It's not really a rip that I could sew and fix. It ripped vertically which is weird now at a seam. But I have worn this skirt so many times and they have maybe five or six different colors of it and the quality is amazing. You might have five or six colors. No, no, no. They have it in five or six colors. But I've worn it for family photos. It's just a great neutral but it still has a pattern. It's a really thick cotton material. It's lined. It's heavy. It just, well, I thought it was good quality until it got stepped on. But I love the waistband. I can wear it pregnant, postpartum and just normal. It's probably been one of my favorite little fashion finds. It's so versatile in this color. That is a good one. Yeah, I know. I love it. Unbummed that it's torn but probably still see me wearing it. I will continue. I'll be looking for it. Thanks. You call me out. So the next category we have is the accessory I grab every day. I said my gutters. Yeah. I wear them every day. I don't personally want to buy nice sunglasses and I think they look really cute. They stay on my face which I've come to realize they have a weird shaped face because a lot of sunglasses really. They just have big nose. They like squeeze. I just don't like the feel of them. All the good or ones are so comfortable. They don't slip. You could probably run in them. No, you do. I run a mind. Yeah. I've never done it. Yeah. But they would stay and they're durable. They're really durable because I'm telling you I've put them to the test. And I think they have some really cute ones too. They have some fun fun shapes. My mom got obsessed with gutters years ago and got all of her pickleball girls like her whole little group chat of pickleball girls all bought them after she told them. She's my mom is the ultimate influencer. I'm not kidding. She is. She is. She's such an evangelist. Like when she gets on something she does not shut up about it and she's uses big superlatives. Best ever can't be done. We make out of my mom for that too. Yeah. I'm like okay, but she sells people on it. And so now her pickleball group chat is the good or girls. So cute. Tell them to it. My everyday accessory is my Apple Watch. I literally wear it every day. I'm shut up. That's a dumb Mormon. I know. I mean, Garmin, you can convince me. Garmin literally all the way. I just like having a wearable of some whatever. Yes. Yeah. No, I didn't understand it until I had one. I was like, I was like at my phone. Yeah. I was so into Apple Watch for a long time, kill, but always talk about it in college like when the Apple Watch. I said, that's so stupid. You don't need that. And then when I worked at Topgolf, I saw all the other Raiders texting on their Apple Watch. And I immediately pointed out watch so I could text kill about my ships. Oh my god. I was like, I can't go six hours without talking to him. That's hilarious. Yeah. And never gone back. Never gone back. The piece of clothing getting me the most compliments do you have one for this? No, no one's complimented me recently. Yeah, you're just so ugly. You have this dress version. I feel like that gives you a lot of compliments. Yeah. I use that one last time. I love it. It's the Quince high neck cashmere, cotton cashmere, high neck tank. And yeah, this color is the brown color every time I wear this. It's such a good color. And it's such a flattering shirt. It is so flattering. And it's dressy, but also can be worn casual. I mean, it's great. I want them to come off different colors because they don't really like the other colors they have. They have a pretty blue, but it keeps selling out before I get it. I know. That's the only other color I want. I don't want the cream. I mean, that's nice. I just have a lot of cream. Love that shirt. A million amazing shirt. It's so stretchy. A million amazing. A million amazing times. A million amazing. Oh, this one I have a really weird answer for. Okay. This category is if I could only wear one thing this season. There's not a lot of things I want to wear. I honestly don't want to wear clothes, but of course, but we must. Face. Wow. Don't they look like this? No, these are called cakes. Okay, my thing is that I've always thought you were going to put it on. Let me just. No, I can't. You went for your shirt. I was like, I'll take over my belly. Okay, so one small problem. Okay. I don't know where the other one is. And you want to know why? Why? I took it off to the car. Oh, yes. It's got to be in there. You have some of come detail. They're like, what is this? But these things. Okay, I actually have to talk about it for. Yeah, I got it. I got to explain. So this is not pasties. Don't confuse it. Not the same product. Not even close. It's not sticky. Not sticky. Let me see that. It's been washed. Don't worry. Oh, you wash it. Yeah. I mean, yeah. It just stays. So let me explain. They have a circular one. They have this triangle one, but they have a sticky option. And then they have a suction option. Oh, um, this thing is amazing. Because the sticky one, I feel like comes off with sweat. Yeah, it does. It also kind of hurts to take off sometimes. Like if you're not sweaty, like, either it's falling off or you can't get it off. Right. This, I don't know the science kind of, it's actually genius. I would say wear it more with a little bit more fitted things, but I've ordered with loose things too. And they still stay on. I think it's about finding the right fit. Oh, interesting. But, um, they, like, you, they have instructions. I don't do it right. You basically just like lay it flat on your skin. And then your, the heat from your skin just sticks it right on. It like, suction's on. Wow. Doesn't it hurt to take off? It's really, it's not going to get messed up because it's not like getting less sticky. Yeah. And it's great for the summertime. Wow. I actually like the triangle shade better than a circle because I remember getting, it looks like you've hugged your yellows. This blends so well because it's so thin on the edges. Right. Okay. This is a very natural option. I'll never forget when those like the petals are like, you know, and there's just the one that was just supposed to cover the nip and I've had literally, I'm like, it just magnified it. Mega aerial. Why? You just circle so well. Wow. Right there. I was like, get rid of that. They saw an issue and then they fixed it. Wow. I'm kidding. It's really, really smart. And these are only $33 and I feel like they would really last. Well, the sticky boobs that you get target, they're like $25 and they're basically, you can use them twice and then they're gone. Yeah. These are really good. Ah, I have to get some of those. Really believe in those. If I could only wear one thing this season, I went athletic route. I obsessed with my lululemon and shake it out shorts. Check it out. I got them in two colors. They're the high rise or medium mid rise. And I just love the length. Again, I'm tall. Five, eight. This is a two and a half inch in team. I was very scared. But they're longer in the back. Don't you like biker shorts underneath those though? Only when I'm doing things where I'm laying on the ground. Okay. Because does that defeat the purpose? Because you can just wear biker shorts. No, because I wear, I wear these like running and I wear them out and about and I wear them all weight days. But if I'm laying down, they're just loose and flow easily fall down to your hips. But then they have underwear. Yeah, they do. But listen, I have a lump where I don't want people to lose. Is that what it is? Yeah, I'm curious. I think I need to get removed. No. No one needs to see my lump. Oh my gosh. I didn't know if that was the reason I did not mean to press. It's called a poma. Okay. Everyone needs to know about it. It's between my legs. And when I lay down, you can see it. And so I just cover, you know, when I'm doing some stuff that's laying down. And like if I'm laying down, my butt cheeks come out. So I just, you know, a little monstery. I don't see that color a lot. Yeah, it's new. I got the matching shirt to go with it. I thought I was going to wear it for the always-here event. And then I was like, it's not red. It's pink. So I didn't wear it. But I love it. I love it so much. I love the shorts. I'm going to buy my more colors. I have two. Shake it out. Is that a new style for them? Uh-huh. And I just love them. They're flowy. They're flouncy. And they're the best shorts ever. I never wear shorts like that. I didn't either. I was just always been in biker shorts. And I was like, I just don't actually wear biker shorts all the time. No, I don't either. I just felt like it was my only option for a while. I know. I mean, now's not my time, but eventually. Okay, here's where I can yap. Food is right, girl. I like beauty. Fashion. Food. Food. Let's talk. Tell me more. Um, no, actually, this one's kind of fun. I feel like my go-to coffee order. Usually I'm making coffee at home. I would say 99.9% of the time. Yeah. And I prefer it that way. Right. But when we did our little staycation close to like in Phoenix, we decided to go to Walla land because they had two locations. I've had it before in L.A., but I think I like acts like I think I knew that Walla land was cool when I went to L.A., but I didn't know why it was cool. So I just got vanilla latte. Okay. Why is it cool? Um, I think they have really unique drinks. Oh, and they're famous for one of their famous drinks is the banana cloud latte. Okay. But I got and it was so yummy. I feel like it was, I thought I was going to be one of these like over hyped places, it literally tasted like real banana. Like I feel like they probably make it with real banana. - It wasn't too sweet, it was delightful. - Really? - It was in a really cool cup. I actually saved my cup and washed it out and now I use it and make my own coffee. - Oh, that's fun. - That's fun. - I want to feel like I'm there every day. Their cups are really cool. And it was just a fun atmosphere. It was packed. - It's yellow, it's happy. I was gonna ask was it so really crowded? - Yeah, there was some hoopla happening. - There was some hoopla. - hoopla from like teen girls or what? - No, like angry soccer moms. - Oh. (laughing) - It blew and held me but it becomes me. I never want to become an angry soccer mom. - You would never. - You would never. It was like this lady's like we really have somewhere to be and like I'm like everyone's to be. - And we were all busy lady. - Like I don't know. Like we had what you ordered on the app because we knew it was gonna be really busy. - Yeah. - Smart. - And then she was like leaning in the window and she was like we ordered 40 minutes ago and she's like starting to just go off and I'm getting sweaty and stressed out. And then she's like can we just have that one? Like she's pointing to a specific drink. She's like that's that, can I have that one? And she's like that's somebody else's. - Yeah what? - And she's like no but we need to go. - We're like man. - Honestly though 40 minutes away for a coffee is absurd. - No, like that's what the wait time. Like that's what like on the app it's like she had ordered 40 minutes ago but it was like to pick up then. - Oh. - So I was like you're kind of just pulling this one. - Oh yeah. - Just judging this one. - Yeah. - You can't still coffee. - They tried to, I mean they were disorganized. - Sure. - But it was, it was hoopla. - There was a ton of people there. - Yeah man you're, we have to sit down. We're all waiting. (laughing) - I go to coffee order. I honestly anything spice like when we were in Tahoe immediately got the pumpkin spice latte. - Yeah. - That's on the menu. I don't care what season it is I'm getting that. - Yeah. - Especially since it's cold. - It's so cold. I love pumpkin spice. I usually get things half sweet. - Yeah. - Cause I do think these coffee, they go a little quick. - Great, great. - I do like the flavor of coffee personally. - Yes. - So you know just a little seasoning, little pumpkin. - Little pumpkin. - Excuse me. - I'm sorry. - Is that, I only want it to be hot. I don't want pumpkin spice cold. - No I never want pumpkin spice cold. - Yeah that's weird. - No that's weird. Unless it's the pumpkin cold brew. - Okay you like that. - I love that pumpkin cream cold brew. - I do, I do. - I do. - I also comes out in August in Phoenix. So what am I gonna do? I have to order something. - We're gonna get it. - Thank you to Gooder for sponsoring this portion of today's episode. - I have a you look amazing. - Thank you. - So cool. - We've not been shy about being both huge fans of Gooder, even Abby's mom loving Gooder. I think she got my mom on Gooder. - She got everybody on Gooder. - Everybody on Gooder and you know what? It's because it is such a great sunglasses. I don't believe in spending a lot of money on sunglasses personally. I just, I can't be trusted. I will sit on them. My kids will rip them like rip the lenses out or the sides off. We sit on them. - We sit on those things. And I'm telling you these are very high quality, durable sunglasses. Light weight, don't slip off my face and had an amazing price. I also think they're very stylish too. - Yeah, they're cool. - I have so many different styles. - Yeah, I love that they're made for active use. Like when I'm going on walks, runs, hikes. I hate when I'm looking down at my sunglasses slip and Gooder's never do. They're constructed with a special grip-coded frame to a lemonade slippage when sweating. They are snug and lightweight and that prevents bouncing while you crush your workout. I have been wearing the pop G lately. They're kind of a fun oval brand. They feel a little stylish, little cool, little cat. I've been live and I've been loving the tortoise shell. Pattern, I actually have two pairs in the tortoise shell. They just get a little bit more elevated, a little classy. And they look cool with my everyday outfits.

Okay, this one was kind of lame, but it's just like, let's never forget, snack disappearing from my pantry. - Chomps. - Oh, I do love chomps. - Oh, what is it, sorry. Which I will keep saying all the time. - But I've been really snacking on some dried mango. - Yeah, but it's sweetened, right? - Sweetened. - I made that mistake one time. - I got tossed. - Tastes like cow tongues. - It literally tastes like, I was like, what vegan, no, no, sorry. What animal leather is this? (laughs) You gotta get this sweetened. And so it's just not as healthy. They probably put some on there, but I feel better about it. - Who cares? - I like it a lot. - Yeah, it tastes delicious. - And you don't need much, like it's really satisfying. - Yeah, I would love dry mango. - Dry mango. - I get from Costco. - The snack disappearing from my pantry are those dots, pretzels, variety pack, from Sam's and Costco. You go, hi, dots, pretzels are so good. Some of them are called, yeah. Yeah, the dots. Oh, they have a cinnamon sugar pretzel that just lit me up. - Right, but that in my mouth wasn't that good. - That was good. - The cinnamon sugar, oh, every pretzel is coated so perfectly with cinnamon. I just want, and particularly back to the toast, how you make as a kid. - Oh, yes. - Yeah. - Do those look like an MSG? - Yeah, they do. - Okay. - Yeah, the original one does. - That's why you like them so much. - I mean, yeah, it's all right, I don't buy them often. - Oh, it's just the original one. - I think at least the original one definitely has MSG. Do all of them have MSG. Don't tell her if they do actions. - I will continue to buy this in the sugar. The honey mustard ones are really good, too. They're also in that variety pack. - Those are zingy. - So zingy. They make Ceeces breast meal so bad. - It says the original and the southwest ones have MSG. - Oh, okay, so does those, too. Yeah. - They're good. - Cinnamon sugar, light me up. - Light me up. - And you know what? What's the MSG? - What's the MSG? - What's the MSG? - MSG, right? - It pretzels. - The sweet treat I'm currently obsessed with. Have you had those sweet larynz cookies? - I'm gonna be honest, they don't look good. - I know they don't. I actually so agree with that. - Yeah. - They don't look like they bake right ever. - Right. - They just look so weird. - They're actually so tasty. - Interesting. - They're dairy-free and gluten-free. - So what do they make with? - Lard. - A lot of sugar. - What is it? - I don't know. - It's lard dairy-free. (laughs) - Certainly, it's just chemicals. - I'm just making that up. I know they're supposed to be healthier, right? - I don't know. I mean, they are so delicious, though. - I really stand by that. - They sell them at Walmart now, too. - Yeah, I saw that. - They're really on. - Okay, well that's good to know. - I'll make some for you. - Yeah, I probably won't buy them to try them, but if you make them, I'll leave them. - It's weird because you were looking at it. You're like, that is an unappealing cookie. They taste really, really yummy. - Well, that's good. That's good. - Have you seen that viral dessert where you just put them over frozen fruit and you bake them, and then the frozen fruits underneath, and then you put the cookie dough balls around it? - No, but that sounds delicious. - Yeah, and you can have a scoop of ice cream. - It's specifically their cookie dough? - I've seen a lot of people do it with their cookie dough, yeah. - That's interesting. - Yeah, you should try that. I feel like you would like that dessert. My sweet treat, you know what? I'm changing the one that I wrote down because that's boring. - I've always been obsessed with Honolulu cookies. Yeah, give me a Honolulu cookie. - You do love them. - I do love them, then little shortbreads. You kind of got me on those. - 'Cause again, it's a cookie that you're looking at, you're like, that looks dry. And then you eat it, you're like, that's the most incredible shortbread I've ever put in my mouth. - But they're very very flavor. - Very flavor. - Love it. And I love the white chocolate macadamia coconut one. It's so unbelievable. And the little minis. - Do they? I think they sell them out. - At Costco, that's why I got a shot amount. 'Cause it's so unbelievable, the good. Any time I go to Honolulu, not that often. Getting some. And in Vegas, they had a couple stores. - Do they? - And I would get boxes every time I went there. - Let's go to Vegas. - Okay. Just for the cookies. (laughing) - I'm like, in this box. - In this box, of course. - The thing I buy every single Costco trip, not me bringing up Costco so much, when I was there, like, it doesn't say money. - It doesn't say money. - It doesn't, but it's fun to shop at. - Of course. - Right, I always buy those rice packets. - Yeah, the pre-made ones? - Yeah. - It's good rice. - Microplastics, for sure. - For sure. - Good rice. - Good jasmine sticky rice. - Good, and I get the white rice. - Yeah, it's good. - I they have brown, if that's your, that's your progative. - Right, of course. - It's not my progative. - I don't know, the bodybuilder's eat the white rice. So, I'm gonna go with the white, yeah. - See, that's why I do it. - Exactly, the bodybuilder's. - The bodybuilder's do it. I'm telling you, it saves so much time. I'm cooking rice is just such a hassle, and this rice is really delicious. Every time I serve it to people, I feel very like, yeah, I don't make rice, I just gotta do this. But then they're like, this rice is amazing. I'm like, yeah, it's actually sticky rice. - It is really good, it's good. - But I don't know if it's like authentically sticky rice. - Well, I'll share mine, that is good. Yeah, my progative is really chicken. I'm not leaving without a progative chicken. Get that same progative chicken up in my car. - Is the Sam's Club one good? - It's $5. Yeah, I love it, it's really good. It tastes like hot dogs. - Costco one. I can't do it again. - I know, you had that one bad one. - And I got it so you haven't had a progative chicken in four years. - No, this progative chicken is really flavorful. It tastes like a chicken. - It tastes like a chicken. - Yeah, and I love it. You have to pull your progative chicken when it's hot. It's the easiest time to pull it. You pull it at the beginning of the week, throw it on your salads, throw it on crackers, throw it in suits. - So bad when you open it up, from the fridge. - Absolutely, every time it smells like farts. Yeah, it freaks me. - Yeah, me too. But I still eat it. But it's also five bucks. I'm like, if I get two or three meals out of that chicken, it was worth the five dollars, you know? - It's a little freaky, that's five dollars, but it gets into the door. - I didn't get back on our Tisserie Chicken game. And maybe I just need to switch to Sam's just for the chickens. - I'll just buy you one. - Thank you. - You won't go bring me a chicken for the second. - I'll bring you a chicken for the second. - The trader's, okay, this is the next category. Is the trader Joe's item I refuse to shut up about. They'll low-take corn chip dippers. - I put that on my chin though. - Oh, so good. - I'm telling you, like I really like delivering groceries, so I don't wanna go into a store. I will go into the store for the chips. - Good with a dip. - They have a really good guacamole. I have it on here too. It's the chunky Greek yogurt guacamole. It's so good. - With the chip. - With the chip. - I've never done a little, they are spicy. - Extremely. - But they are so flavorful. - So good. - They're sweet, salty. I have such a good flavor. - Best chip of all time. - They are so. - If they ever get rid of those, I will go clean them out. - Uh huh. - The rest of them. (laughing) - That's the one thing I will doomsday. - I will put that in my bunker. (laughing) - Oh my God, my bunkers. - You're a big orange and diverse loser. (laughing) - I don't think they're shelf stable, but. - They don't need to be. - 'Cause you're in a bag. - Really quick. - I don't think chips like that aren't shelf stable. - The less a nuclear bomb. - The chips like that. - Uh, my current hyperfixation food is also from Trader Joe's. Yeah, it's the Scandinavian swimmers. - Scandinavian. (laughing) - That's our body training treat right now. All their candy is made with-- - Are you getting a treat every time you go potty as well? - I'm like, you get a treat, I get a treat. (laughing) All their candies and stuff are made without food dyes. It's all natural food dyes. So I'm trying to get all my candy just from there and it's unbelievable. - Wait, does he still get a treat every time he goes to the potty? - Yeah, it's motivating us. - See that, that we had to change that because then we were just tinkelies getting to get candy. - All day. - I know. - He hasn't clothed that yet. - So he's still only going when he wants to go. - We found a hacker. - Yes. - Um, hyperfixation food is literally just grilling. He's once again, we have curled literally every single night. - Perfect. - And specifically salmon. I had the huge piece of salmon last night. - That looked good. - Matt goes, Matt goes, there was a massive piece that I couldn't find. I was like, nice. - He said I couldn't find it. - He's like, you ate that whole piece of salmon. - Yeah. - It was, yeah, I saw it. It was a baby's salmon whole thing. I went kind of crazy. - That's almost like a $10. If you go to Aldi, that piece was almost like the whole pack of that you get. - I ate that whole thing. - Good, you should. - I was, my omega three is-- - You said it's for baby's brain. - Baby's brain needed it. - Um, salmon's so good. And the best way, I'll just say it right now because this, it makes it so easy. It's just little lemon juice, fresh lemon juice. Salt, get good salt. I love sea salt. That should actually be one of my favorites. - Yeah. - All the time, sea salt. Have I said that before? - You said it last time. - Their garlic sea salt is so good. And then we top it with some sweet chili sauces. - That's awesome. - The drink getting me through the day. - This is hilarious. - You're not a drink early. - Listen to this concoction. I've been through it the last four days. Clean simply, you're welcome for this. Okay. You ready for my mega wellness? - I told you it's a hot girl summer. - What do you mean? - For me, I'm getting hot. - You're getting hot in the glass. - I'm getting hot. - No. (laughing) - No, this is a, okay, I get this big glass jug that you're supposed to put breast milk in. And it has a handle and like a, it's big. It's for your fridge. I put a lot of ice in it and a sugar ball. And then I filled to the brim with water and I put in-- - I put a sugar ball in a glass. - It feels bougie. - Okay, I'm putting in one scoop of my sour watermelon clear protein. - Best. - Okay, there we go, that's the base. I'm going in with one scoop of my pink starburst creatine and glutamate. - Okay. - Okay, little sweet sweet. Then I'm going in with a half scoop of the strawberry watermelon electrolytes all from clean simply. Let me tell you, that drink is pink. That drink is sweet. And that drink is making me glow from the inside out. - Wow. - It's giving me great-- - Do you feel fancy? - Yeah, yeah. I'm like, surely this can be good for me. But it's supposed to be. - No, I feel like that's all good. - Yeah, thanks. - I have to tell this story. - So that's it. - They're reminding me of the same vibes as this lady I was talking to. I was like, yeah, like you look amazing. Like what, like she's had many children. - Uh-huh. - And she's like, yes, I drink this tea. And I was like, oh, she actually has like a drink that she does. - All right. - And it's this tea that makes me not eat all day. - Oh, she-- (laughing) - She was sipping it and she's like, yeah, this has, I don't know what it does. It just as suppresses your appetite. - Perfect. - She's like, so I only eat dinner. And even then she's like, sometimes I'm like, nah, I'm not even that hungry. Oh, my God, I'm like, okay. So you look good for about five years. And then you're gonna go slowly down. - Oh, okay. - I'm not gonna go. - That's not longevity. - I was like, man. - Maybe some broccoli. - I was like, wow, that's-- - Oh, honest. - That's a hack. - I feel like normally people don't, they don't eat, they don't tell you at least. They're like, gay keeping that. - She was like, this is-- - So like I've just been eating really clean, nothing. - She's like, I don't eat. - Wow, okay. - And like, literally. - Honesty, I guess. - Don't do that, guys. - Don't do that, guys, that's bad. - This is the drink, getting me through the day, I would say. I really love the new Oli Pop raspberry sherbert drink. - You should try one before you leave. - Yeah, I'm doing it. I have tried it. I'm doing it after this month. - Really? - Okay, I love Oli Pop so much. I actually really like all their flavors. - I love their orange. - But this new flavor, the orange. - That's not hot, take the orange juice. - And their ginger arrow. - Their ginger drink was my absolute favorite ginger. - That one's good too. - It's so good. - Yeah. - But the sherbert one, delish. - It actually tastes like sherbert somehow. I don't really know how they did that, but it tastes amazing and it's such a treat with my dinner. I literally look forward to it every day. - Do you say sherbert or sherbet? - Am I saying it wrong? I say sherbert. - Okay, so that's the Midwest thing, I'm pretty sure. - Do you say that, Hannah? - We say sherbert. - You say sherbert, like there's a fake R. I also say that. It's actually spelled sherbet, which makes me sad. - No, I'm not saying that. - Not my iPad. - Not the way I spell it. (laughing) - Wow, that's crazy, it's sherbet. - Pretty sure. - Sherbet is. - Sherbet is. - Yeah, no R. - I don't want to puke. - That's so American of us. It's so English of us. I'm gonna shut up the rest of this episode. We're gonna move on to the home category. - Okay. - I had some fun ones for this. - I do too. - Okay, the house old item that changed my life, it's my Dyson cordless vacuum. And it doesn't have to be a Dyson, but you need a cordless vacuum. I'm sorry, if you're moving a cord from an outlet to outlet to outlet to outlet, I will never ever in my life vacuum my house. I just want. - And I didn't. - I didn't actually get vacuums. - I didn't do that. - It was my 25th birthday present and it's carried me through. - I have the sharp cordless one. - It's life changing. - It is, it's so nice. - It's just amazing. - I just kind of would kick it around. - Yeah. (laughing) - I literally never vacuumed before that. And I was 25, so don't tell me. - For this. - For this, yeah. - The house probably stumped. - This one is brand new, but I just used it. I used it last night and I used this morning and I'm using it tonight. I'm gonna use it all day tomorrow. The ninja crispy. - I want that air fryer Abby. It was good. - Yeah. - I feel like a full on a review later because I've been seeing ads and I was like, it's just a good appliance. - No, it is. - Good. - It's non-toxic glass, it's so easy to clean, which I feel like it's a very common, the biggest grind with an air fryer. - Air fryer. - Air fryer. - It's so small, but has like 10 x the capacity of my other air fryer. - My air fryer is huge. - Yeah. - And I could only get like eight chicken nuggets on here. They have a big, you can even cook a chicken in it. - What? - Yes, they're biggest size. - It's crazy, it works so fast. I feel like before I would have to preheat mine. They do say you can preheat it, but I didn't need to. They have very easy settings. It's dishwasher safe. - Yeah. - They have a lid so you can store it in the container in your fridge every make it. - Brilliant. - They really thought of everything. - That's brilliant. Okay, I really want, I'm putting that on my wish list. - It's really fun. - Okay, mine is, I got these IKEA baskets for my pantry organization. I wish I could pronounce it. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna say it. - No, we can't pronounce it. I don't speak Swedish, I don't speak this kind of in language. But yeah, it's amazing. And all their bins are very affordable. This one is $4.99. It's like the perfect size for a pantry, sliding it in inserts. I think it begins with a D, Hannah. And I wish, yeah, it's $4.99 a basket. I bought 17 of them for less than $100 for my whole pantry. I thought that was a really good price point for organizing and yeah, making it really functional. - Yeah, their bins are great. I used to, when we had our business, our clothing business, all of our bins came from IKEA. They're the best price, great plastic bins. - I never think about going to IKEA. - I just, I need to organize my life. - It's really good for storage organization. - Help me. - Yeah, we'll put it up, I'll link them 'cause I can't say them, but it is a great bin there. - What did you say for the thing, making my house feel less chaotic? - That was it, my IKEA baskets. - Oh, duh. My house is chaotic. - Wait, what did you, how did I get to that? - The household item that changed my life? Did you not know? - I did the cordless vacuum. - Oh, so you're ahead. - Shoot. - I'm sorry. - No, no, no, no. That's the thing making my house feel less chaotic. Are my IKEA baskets for my pantry? - Mine is not a really good answer for this, but I just wanted a reason to talk about my Pyra because I, - That makes you feel less chaotic. - No, you're like the hip. - No, my wheelchair says my house is chaos. - So, at least make it smell good. - Yeah, I love a good smell thing. I love a good smell thing. And I feel like I need to do better with my clean fragrances. So I got my Pyra back out and my gripe with the Pyra, I gotta be honest about it. - What? - You go, the fragrances run out so fast. - Really? - So, and they're expensive, right? - And they're expensive. - How much is a free fill? - I don't know. - Come, perfect. - 30? - I'm scared, I'm on pins anyway. - Don't they have it where you can make it? It looks like they're 15 bucks each. - Okay. - See, that's a lot for a little thing. And they don't last. - Shoot. - But, can't you do like a low setting and then like a high setting? - Yeah, you can, but I have a big space to fill in. - You do. - Do you need to put it on a high setting? - I gotta do it. - I gotta do it. - I gotta do it. - So, I'm just telling you, - It's an investment. - It's a thing that is just, it's just how it is. I feel like the ones that last forever are also toxic. - Sure, of course. - That's how it goes and there's the trade-off. And you know what, I took that trade-off for a while and now I'm back to doing the clean ones and it's really fun, they smell amazing. - Yeah. - They have some really good fragrances. - Yeah. - Really good. - Yeah, like high-end smelling stuff, which I'm like, ugh. - They have so many amazing collaborations and they really, they make it easy to use. It does use an app, which usually is a gripe of mine. I don't want everything to connect to an app, so annoying. - But the app is actually really easy to use. - Well, that's good. - Yeah. - I feel like my house doesn't have a scent. Like, I feel like my house doesn't smell good or bad. I keep it clean and I vacuum and everything's out so it doesn't smell bad. But when we're gone for a trip and I come back, I walk in and I'm like, my house just smells like a house. Like, it doesn't have a smell 'cause everything I use is non-centred. - Yeah. - And I get a little sad about that. So I really do want, I'm not gonna do, I'm not gonna do the air things that go into the air. The essential oils, I'm not doing that. - I don't think those usually smell good. - They don't and I think some of them do, but then also people are like, they're toxic for dogs and kids. I'm like, I'm not gonna, what do you mean? I have dogs and kids. So, what do you mean I can't breathe it in? - The pura is really the option and it's expensive, but it really is nice. - Okay, well, it's good to know. - Glad you love it. - It's really amazing. - My favorite little luxury at home. Yeah, it's my cozier sheets. Let me tell you something. I've been a skeptic. I'm like, certainly who cares? It's a sheet, what difference can it make? I, okay, the whole time we've been married, we've had target sheets. Never thought I'd think about them. I get in my bed every night. I lay in those cozier sheets and I'm like, shoot, these are really good sheets. And I am just so pleased to say that. It is a luxury that I love. - I know, it's been so much time in bed. - I know, they're so comfortable. - My luxury is also related to the bed. - What is it? - Chili pad. - I knew it, I knew it was going to be chili pad. - I know. - You got me. - Don't you hate it when the expensive things are actually-- - Are you worth it? - Oh god. - No, I don't. - And I say, I think expensive stuff, it's a luxury. It's a luxury. Do we need a chili pad? No, we don't need a chili pad. Has it made my life better? Yeah, it has. I literally, Matt and I talk about everything when I was like, I'm so excited. It's just, it's like, what temperature are you setting? You're set at. - It's just like, it's a conversation. - It's so nice and it improves my quality of sleep. - I mean, our friends, Dave and Val, there you go. They just never shut up about the chili pad. - And here's the, anyone that has a chili pad doesn't shut up about their chili pad because it changes you. - Well, I mean, at least it works. I feel like it's sad and good to know that your money was well spent. - Yeah. - You know, it's like a bummer because now I want to buy one and they're expensive, but good to know that at least it'd be worth the purchase. - I think you'd be, I think you'd be like, wow, yeah, that one was a pretty penny and worth it. - Worth it. - Which is scary to say. - We're gonna speed it up. We're gonna speed it up because we've got a lot to go through. Okay, my favorite cleaning product that deserves an award, my OCD or MOP. It is trusty, tried and true, manual, gets a job done, clean. - Do you feel like Cinderella when you use that? - Absolutely, I feel like Cinderella. I'm usually singing, it's a hard-knock life. I'm doing it. But let me tell you, then I walk on my clean floors and my baby's crawling on my clean floors. And it's, I'm like, you know what, it's worth it. - I said robo rock. - Okay, it mops your floors and you just turn on when you go to sleep. - Shoot, I want that. I want that. I want to do things while I'm sleeping. - Yeah, it's so nice. You're like, thank you Rocky, no night. - Thank you Rocky. (laughs) A purchase that is earning its keep. I've talked about it last time. I'll talk about it again 'cause my Jura. - Yeah, your Jura is good. - My espresso maker. It just makes me so happy every single day. - I didn't purchase this, it's my caraway pants. I got to send them 'cause I didn't add for them. Love my caraway pants. So I can't say it was a purchase that's earning its keeps because I did not technically purchase it, but I would repurchase them. - I use caraway exclusively. - Exclusively. - Mine is my cast iron. - Exclusively cast iron and caraway. That's it, I'm the same. Great cut. - And their storage container food storage. - Love. - I want, yeah. - I like their organization too. - Really great product. - Amazing. - Yep. Kids and family. - Kids and family. - Okay, this one's fun. I feel like I can always talk about kid stuff, but we'll try to go quick because we know that everyone, not everyone has kids. - Right. - But the toy that's actually worth the money, I said a strider bike. - A hundred percent, Abby, that's a great answer. - Yeah, that one is like, there's not really a dupe for it in my opinion, that age. They're really great. - Yeah, we got ours on Facebook Marketplace. They're always on Facebook Marketplace because kids all grow them and so we got it for Christmas and it's an amazing bike. I think it's gonna make transitionning to a pedal bike so much easier. - I agree. - It's so fun watching them on those bikes. I put refillable water balloons. Oh yeah, our dog eats those though, unfortunately. Get Lewis is trying, but they're so fun. So you do so entertained by them and he just plays them in our little kitty pool and he just pops them. - They're so fun. - It keeps them entertained for such a long time. - I know, my sister got them for first birthday last year and it's a great toy. - You can get in my Costco. - Perfect. - The thing my kids can't stop talking about, Danny Go. We started doing this. It's on YouTube, but I used it when I was a substitute teacher for students like, they call it like a brain break. - Cute. - Get your wiggles out. But it's like, they do get up and like, they participate in it and it's like a guy who does songs. Man, I were like, this actually was a missed niche that we could have delved into because it feels fitting for me. I was like, at sharks in the water. I think that happened. - That'd be fun. - So we do a little rebrand. It would be the kids category, probably. - Kids fitness activities. - Danny Go. - It's kidding, we'll never do that. But Danny Go is great. And I think it's a good use of your screen time 'cause your kids are also moving. - Yeah. What can Cijana start talking about? - Kinetic sand, but everyone ignore what I just said and move on to the next one. Don't get your kids kinetic sand. - For a while. - I was all about it. I was like, bragging about it. I was just a kinetic sand mom and then my dog ate it. And then, yeah, so maybe, wait. - Maybe wait until your dog dies. (laughing) - Kidding. Kidding. Kidding, I love my dog. - Okay. - I did wish him dead when I was a postpartum. - I will say that. I had dark thoughts. You know, some people like dark thoughts about their children. I had dark thoughts about my dog. - How could it's common? - Yeah, I was like, he wouldn't have diarrhea. Something I'd be like, oh, maybe it's cancer. You know, it's like, like a real dark thought. But I love him and now and I'd be so, obviously, we're back. But yeah, there was a postpartum. - They're not allowed to misbehave. - And he did a lot. - He did a lot. (laughing) I love him though. - All right. - I saw you also have this. So what category did you put your Sunday swim coat in? - Oh, I put it under the Amazon purchase that deserves a standing ovation. - Okay, well, this is that and it's also a parenting hack because when our kids get out of the pool, okay, Sunday swim coat little thing here. Our friend actually created this brand. - Amazing. - They're these wearable towel shirts. Super high quality. - Amazing quality. - So cute. - I mean. I can't wrap my kids up in a towel without them tripping or like they also just, it's just, - CJ gets really mad when I take this off of him. Like he wants to wear it all, they love it. - Yeah. - And it has a little hood. They look adorable in that. - So cute in them. - And it dries them off. - Yeah, they does. And they have a little pocket. They're shorter in the front, longer in the back. The hood, I mean, they're, every time C2 wears them, like, oh, you're so good. - You're so good at that one too. - This one and then the, the plaid one. - Don't dry it. - Don't dry it because it is 100% cotton. Like, don't dry it more than once. They do shrink a little bit. The first time I want. - Yeah, I don't dry it. - I just hang dry it now. - Yeah. - Which is fine. It's a towel, so it dries fast. - But upstairs. - They're so good. - They're so, so good. - So good. - And like Abby said, you can get them on Amazon too. - Yeah, I love it. - What's the parenting short? - Oh, oh, our little swimming pool in the backyard. I'll link it. It's a really, really good, little good kid swimming pool. - That's fun. - Yeah, CJ's in it for hours. - The snack my kids are inhaling. I'm actually really proud to say this one. The Haya greens, it's not really a snack, but it's the Haya greens plus super food. They're chocolate milk powder. - Yeah. - On days where I'm like, did they get anything nutritious in their bodies? I just feel really good that they drink this every single night. They think they're drinking chocolate milk. And it has greens and vitamins and minerals. And that's amazing. - And I know it fills them up. - Yeah. - And yeah, I love that stuff. - Yummy. Mine, yeah, it's the way it goes. No, actually I'm changing mine. It's the fruit smoothie I make every day. CJ is inhaling that fruit smoothie. - It's not really a snack, I guess, 'cause I'm mixing a drink. But, yeah, I'm throwing spinach in there. I'm throwing protein pot. (laughs) Don't come from me if it's kind of way protein. I'm putting it in there. I'm sorry. I put a yogurt container in there. I'm like loading up that smoothie and it's awesome. - He downed it. - He does. - The thing making family life easier my veer wagon. I love my veer wagon so much. - That was helpful and it collapses really well. And my kids are like, I love, I think it's important to have a good stroller. I have to do some negotiations to get them in a stroller whereas the wagon, they're more likely to get in. They can get in, not freely. And it can fit four kids, the one that we have. - Okay, we fit three. - I'll change my name. I have an answer for this one. - Okay. - My baby baby carrier, to go hands-free with your kid, makes your life so much easier. And I love the baby carrier. It's super comfortable. It's a linen material so it's not so hot for a Vivian. And it's really beautiful. - I feel like it's the art-a-pop dupe kind of. - Yeah, 'cause that one's so silly. - It's so silly, expensive for no reason. And the baby carrier I think is, it's maybe 150 or maybe. - It's still nice. - It's really expensive but, I mean, you use it every, I use it every day. - The art-a-pop got out of here. - A little cray cray. I think it's like $600 I think. - Some of them are even more. - That's literally the duna. Like, I'm sorry about my car seat and my baby carrier don't need to be there. the same. I have one we used a lot but yeah it's a great career crazy crazy but the maybe is the more affordable option of that. Yes and the book we read over and over and over and over we actually have I have a really good recommendation for this the wonder you know wonder the series like the movie they have a chapter book and a picture book and the and it's such a good the kids really get it and so basically this the main characters named Augie which is they think is really fun too but he has one eye in the book and it's like a little doodle and the kids really understand like why are the kids making fun of him they're like because he's different and then we're like is that any reason to make fun of like the conversation like clicks in their mind about like you being a friend to everybody and what to do if you see someone bullying someone or like not being nice and it the the conversation really really makes sense with them it's not too long because I feel like it's a parent oh sometimes the books are so long and it's a beautiful book too and I think it's a great it's a great read cute yeah I got it for my kids yeah I want you to send the link to that I don't know that we should be the Jesus storybook Bible it's the best little kids Bible it's so cute today we're about to finish it with CJ so we'll start it over again but every I mean the illustrations are beautiful he loves reading it he thinks every character in that book is Jesus which is funny yeah like no that's actually Jonah just it's a really amazing kids Bible and and it's just yeah we love reading as a family that's a classic we're going to shopping and influencing the thing that I've influenced everyone around me to buy now I don't know if it's everyone around me but my most asked link every time and the things I've told a lot of is this Abercrombie sweatshirt you got this for me for Christmas oh I also got it from my cousin I think yeah two Christmas is ago it's a men's one it's a men's sweatshirt they still sell it it's the best fit I have it in a large for the men's and it's the confiest best quality sweatshirt like the fact that I've had this for two years and it's still so soft and still so cool and relevant tells you that it's a great buy like the fact that everyone's still begging for the link of this it's such a good fit it's such a good fit I love it I'm obsessed with it I have another color of that's very similar to that too really yeah just the gray without the paisley if you don't like

winter totally many there so so there's a maternity onesy on Amazon that's actually so good that I'm gonna link yeah it is I I love a onesy because I I have a hard time with bands like it's like you're always thinking under the bump or over the bump right how about we don't decide because neither ones agree if we're totally honest and it has little pads in it and it's very comfortable yeah you could just throw something over it tie something around your waist make it feel more dressed up it's right I work out it yeah cute okay with a t-shirt oh I know exactly which one you're talking about and that one is really cute it's really I mean it's just it's so comfortable yeah beat it good quality too yeah cute love that I have a good Amazon purchase that deserves a standing ovation one here it's a kids one and you need to know when to you need to know your child and when to use this but there's this thing called an unbuckle me on Amazon so it goes on their seat belts and so they can get I feel like they quickly learn how to do the top one yeah but the bottom one is really hard especially if you sense it tight enough like where it's safe it's it's hard for me sometimes to get yeah but it's a device where they can push it and then it'll release the two clips oh that's crazy we're training is because we're getting a three-row vehicle and so I'm like I want to climb to the back every single time to unbuckle this my son sitting in the back and so this device another I was like how do we do how do we like how do you get about like oh you need this device and it really is so smart you question it releases yeah wow that's really cool I never even heard of that that's yeah that's a great Amazon purchase it's really yeah that's right the one that I put for this category was the Sunday swim co-tales because that's where you get them you get them and we're gonna shout the small business heck yeah heck yeah Maddie the under $25 purchase punching above its weight my gosh these Walmart three-dollar tank tops I'm wearing it right now I have them in four colors it's the most simple basic tank top of all-time things I have it in white red green and brown I wore them nine months pregnant that's when I bought them because I was like there's nothing long enough when my waistbands are low that covers my belly and these tank tops are long but you can also like pull them up it's just a really basic like the most basic rib tank you could possibly picture there's three bucks and I've had them for since up to I mean since last summer and they're still in good quality I just hanged on I know three bucks you can't any bad you can't lose you can use it as a dish rag if you don't like it you know what I mean it's crazy crazy honestly I didn't have one for this but you just jogged my memory speaking of Walmart I feel like Walmart I don't think about buying anything but groceries usually but I've started buying my kids shoes from Walmart smart and they have a sandal that I got that is they can put it on themselves huge amazing it can get wet and it's dressy enough to wear with khakis or you can wear it casual all-in-comb but they we have brown and navy so I can tell who's his shoes but they are great I feel like these are things I didn't appreciate until I had kids yeah shoes are my biggest gripe gripe I think CJ's in between sizes right now so I'm like you're the your toes are crutched or you're falling over I don't know what to tell you if I just try fit well that was really fun should we move on and move to some patreon ones yes okay we'll keep those keep some extra for patreon yeah I do have a secret one I do too sorry maybe I'd be the same ask ask ask Abby hi this is Molly Culver I live in South Dakota and I was wondering what advice would you give me as I'm heading into my senior year of high school and I also love you guys do you two channels and Instagram thank you I honestly love that you said where you're from let's add that yeah remember when you're living voicemail because that's really cool I don't know one girl from South Dakota I know none except her sweet now I know too I know too okay senior year of high school what do we think I would say don't check out it's so hard not to check out but you're seeing your high school is really fun oh yeah do everything do everything like participate in all the cheesy things even if it feels weird or goofy like I don't know just so in the the high school experience because I feel like the high school experience really is just your senior year you know you got prom and the dances and they do a special like the lock-in and different special things for the skip day you know it's just really fun to participate and I think it could be really easy to be like on over these people I'm over school I'm over this because that is like a real feeling but yeah just soak it in yeah I think that's really good advice because a lot of there's a lot of options now to do online or to only go for like a couple hours a day now I did take off last period my senior year and I don't forget that but like I did too I think that yeah I always did everything because I just was cheesy like that yeah and I was shamelessly cheesy and I honestly think that made high school really fun it makes it so much more fun like if you're just a goober and you just really don't care because it's really just it's so so not serious like it did like it I can't tell you how not serious high school is it's not serious not serious yeah it's really not like and so just have fun like I know that seems like easier said than done but like the way to do it is like you're saying just commit do everything and commit to it yeah and it's like yeah maybe you don't like it that's the time to find out what you like and what you don't like and it's the time to just like I don't know be nice to everybody be nice to everybody go to all the sporting events go to all the things just go to all the things I remember feeling really stressed out at times like before I was on palm going to sporting events was stressful for me because all my friends were either playing in sports yeah in the marching band or all the dance team and I was like oh my gosh who are you gonna sit with who am I gonna sit with yeah and then I just went and I found people to sit with and it was scary and then I was like oh I had so much fun yeah and you could just support your friends yes and it's like the last time you're doing everything like your sport and activities and so it's just good to be I don't know a cheerleader for your family good bye hi Abby and Abby my name is Angelina and I called in a few months back now asking your advice on whether I should quit my corporate job or stay at home and be a full time stay at home on and I actually decided to take the leap and quit my job the Thank you for that extra push and encouragement that I needed to make such a big life decision. But my question is, now that I will be home full time with my two-biddle boys, what recommendations do you have for breaking up your day, making sure it doesn't stay monotonous, or also helping to foster a good learning environment for them to prepare them for preschool or eventually kindergarten? Thank you. Oh, my God. First of all, that really stressed me out, thinking that you made a really big life decision, and we were responsible for part of that. But I'm so glad you're in your unit. Yeah, me too. It's good to hear from you again. And I'm glad that you're able to be home with your kids. Yeah, it really is. You're all going to love that. It's amazing. You'll never regret that. Totally. So my advice for this-- I have a lot of opinions on this because I feel like that was something I had to learn and get into a group of-- create structure even though one of the best things is that you don't have structure. But creating some type of structure makes your day so much better. I think my kids behave so much better. They know what to expect. I feel like my clarity of mind is better. And also, when there's no time constraints, you just kind of-- Yeah, you actually don't do anything. You don't do anything. And that is-- so we have-- I wouldn't say a schedule, but we have a routine. And we pretty much stick to it every week day. And the kids know what to expect. We have the same routine, so it's because we also do this. So we just wake up to breakfast, get dressed pretty quick. My thing is I got to get out the door pretty quickly in the morning. Or else I think that we go downhill fast. Messes are created. Chaos is happening. And so we go to the gym. My kids come with us. I love a gym that has good childcare, and that my kids look forward to going to. And can see their friends, too, because it's important to them to socialize as well. Then we do a fun activity. Then we come back home and do rest and quiet time. And then they have schedule time where I'm able to work. And then they do learning activities with my mom. Fun. Yeah, it's a really good. I think trying to break it up with, like, out of the house time of the day and in the house time of the day, and my in the house time of the day includes nap time. So it's like nap time and then dinner time, usually. Yeah. But I do like, I actually enjoy getting out of the door a little bit, having a little bit of a slower morning. So I'm not like waking up and rushing out. I like having like a slower breakfast. I think, too, I'm really clear in the morning. And so I like waking up and like having a few hours, like an hour before, well, the time. Having like two hours before we leave the house of just like, I'll play with CJ, I'll make a slow breakfast. We'll have breakfast together. Like, it's a little bit more slow. And then we'll go out, we'll go to the gym, and then an activity or like whatever errands we have going on that day. That will be like our out of the house time. And then when we come back, it's nap, which usually I'm working in the afternoon too. So either we have like a babysitter there or my mom is there when she's in town or he's sleeping, they take long naps or I'm there. And then it's usually around when he wakes up is dinner time. So I feel like if you can schedule it in chunks, he takes like a three hour nap. So he also goes down so late. He goes down at 2.30. That's so late. Yeah, so we have most of our day. And then he usually naps until dinner and then we'll have like some evening family time. That still goes about early. It's really a wonder. It really is a wonder. Actually, today he went down for his nap but I'm like, one, no, he went down two. But before that, like when he was younger, I used to go to the gym in the afternoon. So I would have like morning time of play at the house. Maybe we'd go to the grocery store or go out somewhere and then we would go home, have an afternoon nap. And then we would go to the gym in the afternoon and that helped break up my day too. I just feel like it's finding something that you know that you want to do every day. That's kind of like, hey, this is our goal post, non-negotiable. And then just finding where you need to put that marker. My recommendation for you too is to find other moms at stay home because it can be really lonely. You know, you like love your kids and you really want to spend all the time in the world with them. It can be isolating and it can happen really suddenly too. I feel like, and so just having routine where it's like once we go on a walk with our kids, that community just makes, I mean, it's good for so many reasons. But for your mental health and also for your kids to socialize and also just like to ask advice, like just having other moms that are also home during that time of day is really, I think it's a necessity of mine. Hi, I was just wondering, what's a trend for routine age years that should never come back? I hope you all have a good day. Sorry, what was that? Well, it's a trend for your teenage years that should never come back to me. So maybe, oh, you mean 2014, 2012? Well, let's think about it. Do you remember when we wear those like tight bandage skirts? Like really tight bandage skirts? Do you remember those? They kind of came back though. Wait, bandage, I don't know, I don't know. Like the body con tight bandage. Oh yeah. Almost like tube skirts kind of. No, do you remember the peplum? Peplum tops. Those skirts too. The pepum skirt. (laughs) Oh my gosh, wait, why was I wearing a blazer in like high school? Yeah. No, truly. Like ugly blazers. Right, like really form fitted three quarter sleeve blazer with a button. Why was I dressing business cash? Oh, I got mine. That's 12. I got mine that I literally wore so much like people talked about it. Infinity scarves. Infinity scarves so bad. I had these sparries. I'm sorry, sparries. I know they're kind of making a comeback. Stinky sparries. Killed the sparries. Mashable. His sparries. They're horrific. But I will say Matt Sparries aren't the boat shoes. He has the like loafer. No, kill the boat shoe. And I'm like, why are you even holding onto those things? How do they smell? Oh, they just exactly how they look. (laughs) Must be. I thought these, I thought they were the coolest thing. 'Cause I liked things that were, you know, unique and different. They were a high rise sparrie that had fold over. Yeah. And it was tan and there was plaid fabric. And I wore those things. I thought they were so cool. And yeah, I looked back at images and they were not cool. Tom's. I never gone to Tom's because I didn't like the flatness. They're not cute. They look like Peter Panchews. Not cute, yeah, yeah. And I had some. I didn't like them then, personally. Yeah, well, 'cause they're not cute. I know. You know, it's something that I still can't get behind at the Berkins top. Furry Uggs. Oh, I like Berkins. I know, a lot of people do. I'm really in the minority, but I've just never liked them. Well, also, I mostly like them because they're very supportive shoes. Yeah. I can't wear regular flip-flops. Yeah. Like my jelly-crocks were a stretch, but those are really supportive. Yeah, a lot of shoe trends. So many bad shoes. So many bad shoes. Yeah. I thought we've come a long way with shoes. Like, there are just many more options. I'm having so many flashbacks. I remember when I really wanted Nike Dry Fit shorts, those were like so cool, those like certain styles. Oh, the tempos? Those are coming back. Yeah, I think they're fine, but I got dress coded for mine. Oh, you're too short. They said that they were too short and I was like, this feels like-- I am like five foot tall. It feels like you're picking on me, because I'm pretty sure everybody in the school is wearing Nike Dry Fit shorts. The same shorts, exactly. And they weren't that short. And they even, like, tapered a little bit, because they weren't even right out. That's funny. That's really funny. That was really rude. I was like, oh, I did the Nike ID customize your own shoes with some air-maxes and I spent so cool. I used customizing these for my birthday and it was like the coolest thing ever. So I know you were a cool kid now. I mean, occasionally I would get some things that are pretty cool, but I didn't make me cool. I just thought I was dressing cool. Skinny jeans, they can stay in the past. Oh, my gosh. I just can't say in the past. They are so flattering. Low-right skinny jeans, too, at that, with the holes in the knees. The butt crack was always out, but I was like, is my thong just out? Like, I was just okay with it. It didn't happen because I just said none, but so they stayed right. I always had that back up and it was just horrible. There's so many things I could stay. What are we going to think about what we're wearing now? I already know. I know that barrel jeans are going to be so bad and honestly, probably all the really things. But here's the thing. Denim, if it fits your body type, it's not trendy. Okay. You know what I mean? Like, the barrel jeans look really cute on you. If I were to buy barrel jeans, they'd be like, okay, trans girl. Like, they don't look good on my body, but if a denim is trendy at the time of a moment, but it fits your body type, like if you're right now, you're like, skinny jeans look amazing on me, then it's not, then that's what looks amazing on you and you should wear them. I always see you in myself and my calves when I wear skinny jeans. I haven't tried a pair on in so long. I don't know. I don't own them any more. The minute those went out, I was like, sweet. Hi, Nora. Thank goodness. So uncomfortable. So uncomfortable. Whew. Okay. That was really dramatic. That was a good question. That was it. That's it. Oh my gosh. Well, and leave us a voicemail and ask a question. The number is 602-456-9690. Thank you guys for calling. So what? Yeah. Did you have a recipe? Shoot. Why did I feel like, why did I feel like ill-prepared? I have right here. Easy summer side, sauteed vegetables. I feel like we get really, really boring with veggies, which is so funny because I know that the last episode I put brussels around because I had been really trying to switch this up because I literally just make broccoli every single night, and we love broccoli, but it's good to switch up the veggies a little bit. And this is a good blend. That's actually really flavorful, too. It's got zucchini, asparagus, carrots, mushrooms even, it's red bell pepper, and so it's a little extra effort, but if you're grilling, I feel like this is a good side dish to put with it. Yeah. Very summery, very fresh, and yummy. Yum. - Okay, that sounds really good. Mine is a Caprese Tortillini salad, and I made this one time and killed, called it Goody Goody Salad. He was like, what is this called? Goody Goody Salad, like trying to be funny, but it's basically Tortillinis, mozzarella pearls. - Oh, you made this for me. - Basil, it's so good. - It's so good. - I love basil. - I love basil. And yeah, it's just a hit. You put big fresh tomatoes in it. It feels fresh, it's filling. - Get your basil from Trader Joe's. - It's so cheap. It's honestly cheaper to buy the whole plant. - Thank you. (laughs) - It's such a big, like, bush of basil. - No, you have a blush basil. - Get a lot of basil. - It is a big bush of basil. I'm sorry, I got some say. - Yeah, it's some say and bush. - Let's read a review. - Reagan, thank you so much. Those of you who write reviews and read us and heart us and like us and hype us and share us and all the things. We really appreciate it. So Reagan, 1999 says, "I love this podcast, five stars."

You guys are so funny, kindhearted, and make me feel like a friend. It's been such a gift to me as I became a mom this past year. Congrats. Thank you so much. Love you guys. - That's so sweet. - That's really, it's really sweet. - I've had the pleasure of actually meeting a lot of you that listen to that live locally. And it's just, oh. - It's so cool. - It's so cool. - It's crazy. I'm like me. - It's really good to do it together. - And just hearing, like, it feels like it's a gift to her. I feel like this community is a gift to me too. - Oh, so. - So, 100%. It's been really, really fun. Thank you guys so much. Well, that was a great episode. I think. - It's time I've been bored, but. - It was on another level. - Thanks guys for listening. - Yeah, it's so fun. - Remember, we're always here. - Bye-bye. (upbeat music)
