Hello guys, welcome back to another episode. I'm taylor and i'm sam today We're gonna do a little bit about like our skincare things we do I feel like it's something people always ask and are curious about everyone loves to know what's going on with our face Maybe we'll even touch on what we get like injected into our face. Um, but just

kind of what we do to take care of our skin and we have like different skincare routines so we'll get like kind of depending on I feel like what your concern is or what your problem's in with your skin we have like both perspectives to

to share so that's very fun and we haven't done an episode like this i know we haven't and with you would be surprised how easy it is to repeat and run out of topics so it's cool to talk about something different yeah i mean we did the clear stem episode but that wasn't about our skin care plug that later in the thing yeah it wasn't about our skin care though yeah so yeah um we will get into that in a little bit

But first we want to chit chat and I'm just like ready for some chit chat today because I've just been so busy that I just want to chill and talk. I forget that this is like a part of my work and something we're recording and I feel like I'm just chilling on a couch. Yeah, me too. I'm not gonna lie. I'm so fucking tired.

We're recording right now later in the day. Wednesdays, we record every Wednesday. But we'll try to find a time to do it. And today is like the latest. I feel like it's been a very long time that we've recorded. I didn't even realize how late it was. And I had one last little meeting with my...

manager for work like of something like to like that we have to do tomorrow and she was like i'm sorry to throw this on you at like 5 p.m and i was like it's 5 p.m like i was like okay i was like no what like you're calling me at 2 30 like and she was like sorry to throw this on you at 5 i was like i did not even realize it was 5 p.m that's insane um and we have dinner tonight at 8 so we have like some time in between so

And I can't wait to go to dinner. Which, eight for us is a late dinner. I had dinner at eight yesterday. I know, but I get shit all the time when I'm like, oh my god, like...

I'll make comments of like, oh my God, it's nighttime and the sun's still out and people are like, what? It's nighttime? I'm like, yeah, it's nighttime. Five o'clock is nighttime for me, okay? I have dinner at like six every night and then I have my snack at eight and then I'm like in bed. Yeah. So 8 p.m. dinner is definitely late. I had dance yesterday, so I did an 8 p.m. dinner because...

Sometimes i'm just like to go go go to like fit in a dinner, but i'm very excited To go eat dinner with the gals. I might even get a glass of wine because i'm very stressed out Yeah, I probably won't drink just because oh my god I want a glass of wine and I didn't drink last weekend Like I feel like you know phones that have like rollover minutes Like you have this many things this month and it'll like roll over into the next month if you don't use them

I feel like within my week, it's like I didn't drink last week. So I can have a glass of wine on a Wednesday. Yeah. Because I didn't drink last weekend. It like... I have like drinks in my reserve that I didn't use. My thought process is I'm literally going on a vacation. Well, hopefully going on a fucking vacation this week. And I just know there's gonna be a lot of alcohol involved. Right. And like eating out and spending money. So I want to save my money. 100%. Which I guess like maybe next week will be your whole...

Like kind of vacation recap because there's a lot going on with your trip now I don't know if we have like the time to fit it in and like you don't even have the I mean I feel like I should like just because I'm not talking like no, I don't have answers But I just like woke up this morning guys. You guys know i'm supposed to be going to hawaii on saturday I just woke up this morning to obviously hearing the news about the wildfires that are going on in maui Which maui is the one island that I am going to visit and um

The one area where the wildfires are is where the villa was that I'm supposed to be staying at with my family. So as of right now, we got a refund on the villa, which can go towards any other villa in Hawaii with the insurance that we have. But Hawaii Airlines is not refunding us our flights. So we have to go somewhere else in Hawaii. We don't know where yet because it's a fucking...

shit show with the amount of people that are obviously in hawaii trying to relocate in hawaii and the people that are like us that are also traveling to hawaii and trying to find somewhere else to go in hawaii so it's just it's a lot but as of right now i know i'm traveling no matter what because i'm so prepared to hop on a plane that like if i don't end up going on this trip and the trip gets canceled i'm going somewhere else i don't care where it is i just want like a beach

I've been like craving a beach for the last like month and a half, two months. Oh my God. I go to Miami next month. I'm itching for it. Like I see videos of people in the ocean and I think I've said this on the podcast before, but growing up in Miami, I think I didn't realize how much I loved the beach and feel so at home on the beach. And when I see people's content at the beach, I'm like, that's like home.

home and when i go to beaches now and get in the ocean i feel so like alive in the fucking ocean so i can't wait to go to miami yeah i kind of feel the same with that um living in like on the ocean in massachusetts but definitely different with a tropical beach but um yeah so i'll let you guys know obviously what happens you'll see where i was gonna say when this episode's out

Well, no, but there's like decision. You'll know where you're going. Yeah. Like luckily we have a travel agent, which obviously the travel agent wants to get his fucking bag and is going to like figure that shit out and make sure we're going on a vacation somewhere. But luckily they're handling most of it and it's not like the stress of my entire family needing to figure this out and like call airlines, call villas, etc. So...

Plans are to leave somewhere on Saturday. Obviously, this is going live on Friday, so I'm still in Austin, but we shall see. Yeah, I'm really excited to see how this plays out. It's like a movie over here of the traveling to Hawaii madness chaos, but I mean, hopefully everyone's safe. It's really sad. I know. It is definitely sad. Because it's like, obviously, like, you know, it's like, obviously, the primary focus in this house is like your family.

vacation is screwed and that's like a lot of time and money and planning but it's also like really fucking serious and people might be like dying yeah this so it's like it's just so much yeah so but i don't know end of that we'll talk more about it next week yeah we'll see like where where this takes us you guys will know next week on

Where you end up. Yeah. But enough of this coming week. Let's talk about this past week. Yeah. Because we were separated. We were separate. I had the most wholesome family weekend. I, if you don't know, have three siblings. They're all older. A lot of people don't know I have siblings. Yeah.

Because I don't they're not really in my content. But I do have three older siblings and my oldest sister has my niece and nephew, which are my favorite people in the whole entire world. My nephew's five and my niece is two and a half. And she just gave birth to my second niece, a little baby girl who when I went was turning a month old. It was her month birthday. And I needed to go see that baby like being away from my family.

Just like suck so bad and I needed to go see that baby and i'm always terrified that my niece and nephew are gonna forget About me and forget that I exist and they never do they always

know who I am and stuff, but I'm always like, oh my God, they're going to see me and not even recognize me. They're not going to know anything about me, but they do. And I was literally just chilling with the kiddos the whole weekend being so wholesome. I got in on Friday morning really early. I had a really early flight, slept the whole way. I read like five pages of my book, put my head down and woke up to, all right, folks, we're beginning our descent into Atlanta. And I was like,

like I just crashed and it was like a 5 a.m. flight and then I spent the whole day working and then it was literally just hanging out with the kids you know had a Saturday at the playground ice cream had a Sunday at the science museum like just just hung out with the kids sounds like my worst nightmare it was the best weekend of my life I was just like

Oh my god, like I loved it. Like I was literally just like holding a baby or like playing with my niece and nephew and like just getting quality time with them is just like my favorite thing. And normally when I hang out with them, it's a big family ordeal and I don't get one-on-one time with them. So I got to just really hang out with them and chill and see my sister. I obviously love to see her kids, but I also do love to see my sister and get to like talk and hang out with my sister. So that was also...

cool because i miss my siblings and i wish i wish my siblings were around yeah like hanging out with your siblings is good energy yeah good energy yeah i just like can't relate to the whole like being so excited like children and guys if you guys can't tell i'm not a fucking child person like i don't see like me and taylor will be walking downtown or something and she'll see a baby's like oh my god look at that

look at that baby i'm like ew fuck like ew but like i don't know you also show me pictures of like your niece like the newborn and i'm like oh my god okay yeah yeah well she looks i was telling my sister i'm like i didn't even know what she looks like because when they're born like newborn babies are like terrifying aliens and then like they really have to kind of settle like their face like they need to like settle because they're like hello we're literally in a stomach which is crazy like i look at her i'm like

telling my sister she was in you. She was in your stomach. It's so freaky. But they have to settle and they have no control over their face. Like no control over their facial muscles. So her eyes are rolling in the back of her head and her tongue sticking out because she has no control over herself. But now that she's a month old she's

settled into a person. She still barely has control over her face. She's like a fucking drunk. She just looks wasted. She looks like wasted. But she's so freaking cute and tiny. Way cuter in real life than I could get through the pictures. She's so cute and little. And something about like, I don't know, like your sister's kids. I don't know. I feel like they're my children. I just love them. It's so...

It's so cool to me that like my sister is a mom. Her house is chaos though. Two toddlers and a newborn. I know. I can imagine. It is like crazy in there. Crazy. And they had me as a third helping hand. Yeah. Like they would go do stuff with the other kids and I would take the baby. So I was asking my sister after what happens when I'm not here. I was like, because we all seemed occupied. Like,

how would this have occurred without me being here to help she's like i don't know we get it done like clearly my nightmare literally my name it's definitely it gave me like baby fever because i like the baby but not have three kids yeah you know like i was like i like this one baby like one maybe one you're lucky if i pop out a second i want two because i want them to have a

yeah but like i feel like unless unless i don't even know bro like if i live near my sisters and they can grow up with their cousins and are really really close with their cousins i could maybe get past it because if they kind of see their cousins as sibling energy that's how i am with my past it but i just love my siblings and i'd want them to like have that yeah

Like that brother sister relationship. But I definitely was like, oh my God, babies are so cute because newborn babies are kind of easier than toddlers in the sense that they don't do anything. Yeah. Like the toddlers run around and can like burn the house down. Yeah. Kind of like a puppy. Yeah. Like the newborn just lays there and you have to change it. I changed quite a few diapers.

I feel like have you ever changed a diaper dude yeah I used to babysit believe it or not isn't that crazy I fucking hate it dude dude I know they're definitely not well they're in therapy like I had this no dude like the kids loved me though they did love me like I don't know how the fuck I got the job I was just like so desperate for like good money because babysitting pays good yeah hell yeah I used to babysit too I literally had like this was at the time when I had like five jobs at once like I was hopping job to job to job and like I got a babysitting gig for like this one family and they had a newborn baby and

And then like, like a toddler and like, I'd always be hanging out with the toddler. But luckily around the time that I would get there, like the, the newborn would be asleep like for the night. Cause they would put the baby down early. Yeah. Yeah. And I would just hang out with the toddler, but I'm like, fuck. Like if the baby like woke, if I heard the baby crying upstairs, I would be like, fuck, damn it. Like this sucks.

And I get so pissed. Yeah, I bet those kids are in therapy talking about how they had this baby. No, the toddler loved me. Like, the toddler literally, like, would beg his mom being like, when is she coming back? Yeah, the kids I babysat loved me. And I worked at a daycare, too. Dude, I just did it for the money.

I like cannot picture you working at a daycare. I feel like you would hit the children. No, like my job, my job was like really easy. I was just kind of like there to like make sure that like if you went to the playground, they weren't fucking hopping the fence or someone wasn't trying to steal a kid from hopping over the fence or like, or like making sure like the kids weren't like fighting or something. Like I wasn't,

Doing much Or like cleaning up or walking them to the bathroom Like I was like the Bathroom line like transportation Like I'd walk them to the bathroom Move all the little kids that like shit their pants Yeah like He'd be like holding his ass like I'm gonna go take a shit I'd be like oh my god I would have to wipe some of their asses

Ew. What do you mean, ew? You were just bragging about how you were fucking changing diapers. Changing a diaper and wiping a toddler's butt. So different. Dude, and they'd have to step on the step stool to go wash their hands too, and they didn't know how to fucking wash their hands. And I'm literally putting their hands in my hands and washing their hands. I'm like, you fucking idiot. Yeah.

Don't put me in a daycare. I would not let you watch my kid. No, dude. Like I would do a good job. Like I'm responsible. But it's like when it's done, when the job is done, like I'll complain about it for like hours on end. Like that was horrible.

well i thoroughly enjoyed my weekend um i loved it your sister's listening to this right now don't let sam cut visit i loved it i i had a great time just being an auntie yeah and playing in the museum i had i dug some fossils played on a playground like

What more can you ask for? Yeah. My weekend was obviously very different. I stayed here. I had the house to myself, which was great. Okay. Ouch. Yeah.

I thought to myself, I got so much cleaning done on Friday. Like, literally scrubbed this entire place top to bottom. I was literally like, someone's bored. Dude, I was so fucking bored on Friday because I knew, like, I didn't really, like, want to leave the house because I've been doing this thing where I, like, do hair masks now. My hair is dead. Like, it's fried. And when I do these hair masks, it takes, like, two hours. It's a two-hour process because you got to, like, sit for 30 minutes and whatnot. Yeah.

And then you have to hop back in the shower. But anyway, so during that time, I was doing cleaning the entire place. And then later that day, I knew I was going to a concert with my boyfriend. We were going to Dominic Fike, which is an outdoor concert. And I knew I didn't want to step outside because the heat here is horrible. So all the way up until the time I was going to leave for the concert, we were going to get dinner beforehand. We went to like this fancy ass restaurant, got a bunch of seafood, which it was nice because I never really get seafood here in Austin anymore. And I would definitely write that

high up there, but I can't really compare it to any other seafood restaurant because I haven't been to many. But yeah, we went to the concert, got like three drinks total. Like when we were at the concert, bro, guess how much a truly in a beer was? Tall boys. 35. Yes.

A truly and a fucking beer. And I just, we looked at each other. We're like, we're not getting another drink. Like it's not worth it. So good. Dude. Like we're not, it's not worth it. Like concerts are just known expensive during. Yeah. Like, but it's just not worth, like, I'm not going to get a buzz off of two. And it's like the effort it takes to go to a bar and get one. Dude, because you were going to lose our seats. So our seats were the lawn. So we didn't have seat seats. We had like a section on the grass and like those can easily get taken. So we went once and,

Luckily our seats were still there because we actually ran it. Oh my god. Did I tell you I ran into Abby? Abby from something? Yeah, dude so we I knew she was going to the concert because we obviously were mutuals on Instagram and She posted that she was going I was like I swiped up and I was like, holy shit Like I'm going to maybe I'll see you and then of course the first person I see when I walk in there is her She's there with her sister and then we just sat down next to her. We're all hanging out for a little bit Just recapping on the concert good. Yeah, the concert was so good. I

So good. And like we knew majority of the songs. He released an album this past month. So a lot of the songs were the new album songs, which I was like, fuck, I should listen to this. Like phone, phone. Oh, my God. Phone number. Three nights. Mona Lisa at the hotel with my. Yeah. And most of his music is fantastic.

shit that i like implanting my car but yeah so we went to that and then we ended up just going back to his place and staying in for the night which felt so great on the soul waking up that morning knowing i was not hungover but i felt hungover because i didn't go to bed until like two in the morning because we were just tired yeah dude it really is so then saturday i again didn't really want to do much involving alcohol so a bunch of us just went to the pool to hang out at our friend's apartment pool i'm

Did that. No one was in town. I noticed that. I felt like I was... No, like literally no one in our friend group was in town. So there was not a lot of people around. And also that fucking stupid fight. The Jake Paul fight was Saturday night. So none of the boys wanted to go out. And I was like, whatever. All I really want to do is go get dinner and get another drink. So we have been trying to do at least one new place every weekend. And...

whether it's like a bar or restaurant. So we went to Inca Hoots, which is literally right across the street from Lucky Duck. And I'm telling you right now, give it fall, that's going to be the new Lucky Duck. Like the new place that everyone's going to go before they go out on East. Well, I'm excited. If we go there Friday, I'm going to bring my parents. Yeah. Like it's 100% going to be the new place. The only problem with it right now is because it's just opening is that I think they're trying to figure out the whole like bar scene inside of it because there's like four...

four food trucks in there and one bar. And I'm like, you can't be having one bar. The line for the drinks was so long. So we literally left because of how long the line for the drinks were. We got lucky when we got in there, there was no line. And then we finished our drinks because there's like a bunch of games. So there's like Cornhole, human-sized Jenga, Connect Four. Yeah, like we were playing everything. I love a bar with a game. No, it was so fun. It was just the two of us too. It was me and my boyfriend just like,

hanging out and then we went over to the bar and i'm not even getting in the line for the bar was like 20 people deep and i was like i'm not waiting in this so we were just like fuck it we're going home and we got home by we came back to my place and we got back around eight and we just watched movies for the rest of the night made some popcorn he ordered fucking chinese food he's obsessed with asian food and chinese food like obsessed with it see yeah you are too but i'm just not like i love and he doesn't like spicy which is the biggest red flag because like if i'm craving something like buffalo tenders he's like no i'm craving like

shrimp fried rice i'm like what the fuck like i want buffalo tenders i should date your boyfriend instead yeah yeah because yeah jonah likes spicy so yeah let's just do a fucking switch or like it's like oh we're both ordering food like rather than like the normal like me and jonah would be on the same uber eats and like you guys yeah it's like we'll do home i'll be like

I almost said his name. I'll be like, what do you want? Yeah. Like, give me that shrimp fried rice, man. We can order one thing. Yeah. Like y'all can get your like extra hot chicken. Yeah. For yourselves. And like, we'll order. Cause like all I'm craving when I'm starving is like a, like something like buffalo or spicy. It's all I want.

yeah i literally made my boyfriend spaghetti like with red sauce and broccoli and he put tabasco in it yeah that's something i would do or like the red pepper flakes see that's kind of a little more he was like i'm gonna put tabasco in it i was like okay yeah but dude i was literally thinking about it i'm like so i saw somebody else making tiktok about this i don't know if sammy if you still listen to our podcast i don't know if you do shout out to you because you're the one that literally made the tiktok about this and i commented on it but

But she's new to her relationship, too. And she was like, dude, like, someone let me know. I've not been in a relationship in so long. And, like, what's the appropriate amount of time you should be spending with your boyfriend? Because, like, I'm, like... You're stressing about it. Dude, I'm fucking stressing about it. You're stressing about it. It's so hard. It's whatever... It's different for everybody and how your time is when you hang out. Like, some people see their boyfriend every day. And I just, like, can't do that. No, but some people might see their boyfriend every day, but you're more...

I don't know the word. I can see my boyfriend every day if we both have some... I work from home. He can sometimes do some things from home. I can see him every day if he wanted to like come by and eat lunch and work where we're not really hanging. Like I'm getting my stuff done. You're getting your stuff done. You just would like to come here. Yeah. Maybe during the day we're hitting the gym and it's kind of like...

we can work out together. We can work together. It's an hour, maybe two. And we're not necessarily like on top of each other, like talking so much or doing so much. We're just kind of being in the same space. I could do that every day. I can't do stay over late and watch TV every day because I have shit I have to do. So I think it depends on the person. And it's like, for me, we don't hang out that much during the week.

I spend every single second of the weekend with him. I can't do that. Like, I realized this weekend. I can't do it anymore. I was like, bro, where are my girlfriends? No, I can't do it anymore. Not even in that sense. In that, like, now, like, I just have so much I need to get done. And before, a lot of, like, my Sunday-type reset tasks, like, I could do on a Monday, and I can't anymore. And I might, like, I need to... I can't have my weekends be...

lazy weekends, I need to get shit done on a Sunday. Like, like something productive in me. And that's kind of thing. Like either you got to leave or if you're cold, like,

like sit on the couch watch whatever you want like i have shit to do yeah like but it's like i need to get shit done on the weekend which is like what i've just like figuring out my new schedule i'm like i need my sunday yeah i realized like this past weekend which i mean we've been dating for a month so like every wow i know our month our month of bursary was yesterday so i

the day before yesterday no no the eighth was yesterday oh yeah because mine was today yeah no way crazy we're so close and i just wanted to like copy me it's fine what's that audio on the the kim k i got married in italy am i saying you copied me by getting married in italy

you should make that into a tiktok yeah i'm gonna clip like me referring to my boyfriend as sneaky link in the whole yeah i got married in italy are you saying you stole my wedding country that's the funniest i know fucking audio literally ever literally who's who performed at my wedding andrea bocelli yeah so good um fuck what was i gonna say

But yeah, so we've been dating for a month. And like every weekend has been different. But this past weekend, I like realized I was itching to see my girlfriends. So on Sunday, I went to the pool with Haley. And I was like, oh my god, this feels so good. Like it's so like nice. See, but for me to be able to do that, it just needs to be like a plan. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because then in the weekend, it's hard to get people... One, it's hard to get people all in the same space. But if I know like...

Friday we're doing dinner like then Friday we're doing dinner or like if we say like Saturday the girls are going to the pool I need to like in my cat like I need like a set in stone. Yeah day I think that's the difference between us is like you're you'll like like I feel like you won't like reach out Like, you know, I've never been like that. Not that I've never been like that I'm, just like always a more introverted person Like it's not my first thought to be like I would love to be in a group of people right now

Yeah, not even group though because like it was just me and hayley at the pool Yeah, but even like it's not my first thought to be like what are people doing? Yeah, i'm just more introverted I guess but um I don't know. It just felt nice to like which I hope you just fucking listen to this also, especially right now like When I tell you guys like my mind is a dumpster fire. My mind is a dumpster fire that like right now. It's like just I can't yeah but

well you hope he doesn't listen to this because what because i hope he's not like oh my god she hates hanging out with me that's not it it's just like when we hang out you would say that he's okay but you were saying i know he's such a simp he's so sensitive but no like like you were saying with how like oh i can hang out with him like during the week like he can't do that like to do work right i wish he could but it's like when he comes over we're literally like

Stuck in my room because he can't go anywhere in the house because of the cat. He's like severely allergic to that. He left last night early because his allergies were so bad. I was like, can you get the fuck out of here? You need to man the fuck up. I know. Allergies are for girls only. I think anyone with allergies needs to man up, man or woman. Like, why is this like cat? This cat is powering your life, dude. Why is it making you so ill? He's literally like laying in bed. He's like...

I'm like jeez like and he's like literally snorts like going down his nose allergy medicine yeah bro he like goes crazy with the allergy medicine once when he comes over I know that's insane yeah he needs to find a way to fix that yeah which is like my fault Phineas has been in my room a lot lately so I need like work on that

what he should just like get his like immune system up or whatever i know what it is i don't even think wait can you do that no you definitely can't do that i think i that's like saying someone with peanut butter is like get their immune up and grow out of allergies well yeah you can grow out of it but that's you can't like get your immune up by being like eat this peanut butter remember the carrot girl no so on tiktok this was said this is like throw back but if you know you know it was very viral she was allergic to carrots

So she had a little timer. Every single day, she would eat a little more carrot and set a timer and see if she had a reaction and always have allergy med on standby until she could eat a whole carrot. That's crazy. Well, maybe it was just like placebo and she was actually growing out of it. No, no, no. She was allergic to the carrot. No, but yeah, she was definitely allergic, but I don't think actually eating the carrot was causing her to get less of an allergy. Maybe she just happened to be growing out of it. No, no, no. Because growing out of it is like a year-long thing. This was like a few...

like growing out of it is like you had the allergy when you were four yeah yeah like my cousin used to be allergic to peanut butter yeah not like in this year I grew out of it like she really like did the whole there's another girl I think that lived in Austin that did the same thing with nuts at her doctor she'd go and eat more nuts every time bro I don't know I'm not I'm not allergic if you have a bad cat allergy please I need to know how to get rid of it tap in what do you do because it honestly kind of gives me the ick

that would give me it gives me dude he's like he'll be like snorting of a storm in the corner of my room like this podcast is you like putting your boyfriend on a blast dude i know he told me not to go to my blast ever ago sorry yeah i was like did you listen to the podcast he's like what'd you say about the armpit thing i'm like dude yeah i told him about that but the thing is like anything i would say on here i would say straight to his face that's where yeah but

but i don't think this is the same scenario because there's a lot of stuff i would say to my boyfriend's face that i wouldn't tell 20 000 people dude i know so you know what i mean yeah i know so the other day like i was one of you guys dm'd me like about him like something i said on the podcast i think it was the urban thing and i'm just cracking up and he's looking at me he's like what are you laughing about you i go yeah i literally go you he goes what do you mean you i go i mentioned on the podcast that you want me to tickle your armpits and he was like

like bro what i was like don't stress it don't stress it i was like they thought it was funny because it's relatable and their boyfriend does the same he's like all right word bro boys are weird he's very sensitive i know more than i thought i know because he was such a mr tough guy when we first started like talking not even like mr tough guy but kind of like i didn't think he really cared about anything yeah i know like i thought he had no emotions i

very very like chill go with the flow like like everything's kind of a joke like kind of just yeah and it's very emotional very serious yeah like he gave you a hug yesterday yeah i don't know why that was so weird i don't know why we're talking about that it's just so weird like like hugging is such a weird thing kissing is a weird thing okay but it's just like

Like, I like hugging people, but, like, I'm not, like, I'm not gonna, like, I don't ever hug you. We don't hug. We don't hug. I don't like hugging people. Well, I think, like, girlfriends, like, have different levels of, like, there's different types of girlfriends. Like, some girlfriends, like, cuddle on the couch. Yeah, that's, I cannot cuddle you on the couch. I'm sorry. No, but I feel the same way. Like, I don't give you hugs.

Or like some of our girlfriends will be like, all right, love you, bye. And I'm like, I don't say that. But I wouldn't say that to anyone. Like, it was not my first thing to say bye to someone by being, love you, like, love you, bye. Like, I'll just be like, bye, like, see you later. Like, not love you, bye.

yeah or like some like girlfriends like literally like will walk and like hold hands or like just no wait stop wait really i don't think so do you okay anyone listening do you guys like hold hands with your best friends not like like walk like more so like like kind of like if you're like taking a photo maybe like not like just like random oh i don't know but i think there's like there are friends that are like more touchy yeah there definitely are like way more touchy

maybe we should hug more no i'm getting awkward let us know in the comments tap in how to get rid of cat allergies do you hug your girlfriends this is very important information for science

Yeah, just like... I need answers. I'm not like... And then like the also thing to add to that is like you already knew I wasn't like a super affectionate person. So now when you see me doing it with my boyfriend, you're like... Oh, it's so fucking weird. You're like, that's so weird. It's so weird because even us, like I don't... We don't call and FaceTime all the time. Yeah. Like I FaceTime you if I need something. Not to just chit chat for fun. And maybe that's just because we live together. So we never like...

need to do that but when you're just talking to your boyfriend or like cuddling on the couch i'm like what the fuck yeah it's crazy what are you doing yeah it's definitely strange like even like oh another thing holding hands in public we've done that a lot lately and you know he's your boyfriend well that's so valid i would hope nobody like obviously does do that but it's just like

like i used to get the ick from other guys when they weren't my boyfriend like if we would hold hands in public i'm like what are you doing why are you doing that well yeah because that's like super weird because i had that really funny incident where a guy did that and then later in the day apologized for it and it was just funny that we both had that thought in our mind the whole day of why'd you hold my hand that hours later he said i'm sorry i held your hand i didn't know why i did that i'm like

I'm like, all good. Don't do it again. Yeah, that's so funny. I feel like... I don't know how that suddenly becomes a thing. It just goes from weird to not weird. I know, dude. I think... And like, we're... Okay, we were also talking about the fact that we're literally dating strangers. I cannot get over it. Don't even bring me to that topic because...

No, like... It freaks me out. It's so fucking scary. Like, what if you're a serial killer? Like, Ted Bundy had a girlfriend. No, literally. And, like, it's so much easier to date someone in high school or college or just from your hometown in general because you've seen them around. Like, you know so much about them. I know where you live. I know your family. We grew up in the same area. You are literally a fucking stranger. Like, everything you've told me about your life could be fake. Yeah. It could be. Literally. Or, like...

Even too with just like scenarios of like being put into a scenario and like how they're going to react to it. It's like... I have no idea. I have no idea. Because half the time if I dated someone...

I've seen them in the world in public so much. That you have an idea. Even for years. Maybe I saw you grow up. I saw your friends grow up. You know what I mean? Uh-huh. And you're just strange. Like, I just think every single thing my boyfriend has ever told me about where he's from could be not true. Like, he'll describe his family and I'm like...

I don't believe it. Not that I don't believe it. Liar. But I'm just like, it's just so crazy that like I have to like, I have to do some like investigation or like I have to like. Oh, I went deep into Facebook. You know what I'm saying? But everyone was private. Whereas like my boyfriend from high school was like, I didn't have to like go

go out of my way to like research this like your little brother goes to our school like exactly like your little brother walks the same hallway as me my high school boyfriend like my last boyfriend his mom was our high school principal yeah like i know your family like i i

you lived him in his way, you know? It's so weird. It's just crazy. It's super weird. It's very strange. Also, bringing someone, like, into your home, it's like, here's this random fucking dude. And that's what kind of sucks, too, is, like, dating strangers now, I feel like my relationship with my boyfriend for my family is never going to be as deep and as good as it was with my other exes because they're not going to be, like, around them. Like, going to, like,

family holidays like like when i go home for thanksgiving and christmas it's gonna be weird it's not gonna be normal yeah like all my even even my siblings now that are dating strangers because but they still are from miami but they're strangers yeah and people they're around so often they're always around and now okay you might see my family once a year they're kind of like it's just not going to be the same yeah which is kind of the same like

I've had those really really close to your family kind of relationships and I kind of prefer not not that I don't want people to meet my family but I don't think I need you to be so like right away like you don't need to be like part of the family you could just be like my boyfriend you know what I mean yeah I know I agree with that like and I'm kind of okay with that because then it also like puts a lot of like puts a lot of pressure on it on it yeah because like

I've had two exes where my family liked one of them and then did not like the other one. So I've been in both scenarios. My family likes people too easily. Yeah. No, but I've been in the situation of both the breakups. Not saying I'm going to fucking break up with my current boyfriend, but I'm just saying of the pressure part of like,

having a boyfriend with family is like I've been in the situations of like my parents were so pushy for me to break up with the other ex when they saw me going through it they were like yeah like he doesn't treat you great like putting their input or like the other ex when I was like oh but we really love him yes we don't want to see him go and it's like oh my god like it's like but I just I yeah yeah no that's like I agree like that kind of like oh like like to this day my parents still bring him up

Right. And I'm like, chill with it. Do my parents... They'd probably bring them up more if I saw them in person, but they definitely follow him on Instagram. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like very much... And I feel like they... I don't know if on their own maybe they check in in terms of like, he plays sports. Do they look to see what's going on? You know, because they...

They, like, had that kind of relationship. And I almost kind of don't need it to be stressful because I was the same way where it's like, oh, but this, that, and the other. I'm like, yeah, I get it. Yeah. Like, I get it. But...

oh my god my boyfriend's probably listening to this like yeah probably you don't want me i don't know it's just been so fun it's not that i don't want someone to be close to my family i just don't need that like oh you're part of the family like so fast or like so soon you can just like be my boyfriend yeah that they like and you can like come around but i think they're just like a little bit of separation

So crazy. So crazy. It's a really fun like learning process for me just because I haven't been in a relationship for five years. So I'm like trying to figure it out day by day.

like each scenario i'm like oh my god though the biggest thing i was stressing about it was the time the time thing i was like whatever feels right yeah i know but i'm just like i need my i need my me time i need my girl time you get to a point where you live together and you're together every single second yeah but that's different because you're just like living life next to each other whereas like when we're hanging out it's like we are full up like together we're literally like stuck by the hip

you know what i'm saying yeah but then you live together and then it's the other aspect of how much time is just living together time living in the same space and how much time is hanging out time yeah kind of like how we have we live because i think i would rather like live with him than like have to like constantly do the same because then i can attach by that exactly i can do whatever i want and i know we're like sleeping together because like every night like every night when we do hang out it's like

Like, I kick him out at like 9.30 because I'm like, I need my bedtime. I need my bedtime. Like, sorry, you're leaving at 9.30. That's when you're leaving. But...

You could just go to bed at night. Yeah. Get into bed and go to sleep and he can just stay and go to work. And when we're hanging out, I'm not scrolling on my phone or anything. It's just so... Because like I said, I can only hang out in my bedroom. So we're laying in bed. And I just don't scroll on my phone. I don't do anything. It would be nice to decompress and do my own... Do your nighttime thing. Do my nighttime thing.

And whatnot. Like, if I lived with my boyfriend, the nights he was over, instead of, like, oh, now we need to hang out and watch a show together, I could read. Yeah, exactly. Because we live together. Yeah, like, my, like, nighttime routine is, like, give or take 20, 30 minutes at night. And it's like, I don't know, like, I wish I could do that. And, like, you could also do that. Because you also live here. And, like, you could do your thing. Yeah. Yeah.

You know? Oh my god. They should move in. Yeah.

Right. Dude, my boyfriend already just like literally thinks he lives here. When he comes straight in, he goes straight to the fridge, straight to the pantry. I'm like, help yourself. And you don't eat my snacks. I know. Literally. So does my boyfriend. He, where would we come from? I think he was going to kickball. He's like, I'm going to go grab a snack out of the cabinet because like he knows like the protein bars are in there. He's like, I'm taking snacks. Okay. Well, it's like, not that we care. Like, I don't care. But when are you buying groceries? But I'm like...

I just like don't feel the need to do that at your place. Like I'm not going through your pantry through your fridge. I sit on the couch and go, do you have any snacks for me? And he'll bring me a snack. See, but if he was like, do you have snacks? I'd be like, you know where the snacks are. Yeah, that's so true. Like, can I get water? Do you not know where the cups are? And duties. I'm done. I'm going to go on a rant and I don't want to go on a rant. We'll just have them on and we'll sit here and just berate them. Yeah, literally. Literally. Literally.

If he listens to this, he's going to be like, oh my god, you were talking so negatively about me. Say some positives. Okay, some positives. Positives.

are that I do really love our one-on-one time, like, when we're out in the public for the streets. Like, this past weekend... I love doing things in the world by... No, like, just, like, the two of us, like, in this world, like, I was literally thinking about it, like, I just forget the rest of the world exists. It's so crazy. Like, we'll be walking the streets, and I just think we're living in a movie scene, and, like, it's just us two that are, like, the focal point. Mm-hmm.

And everything else just doesn't exist. That's why that night when you guys were at latchkey and we stayed and we're dancing to that music. Yeah. It's like, why didn't we come? I'm like, cause I like genuinely forgot other things were going on. Yeah. Like I was just kind of in a trance. Yeah. But yeah. Contrary to what we say, we do like them. We do like them. Like we're not just like suffering. Like I swear sometimes it's just his allergy, bro. Like it needs to end. Like I want to be able to just sit on the couch and,

Like your man can't sit on the couch. I know. That's a problem.

we could get him his own like put like a chair in your room that you like roll out to the literally well every time i wear like a sweatshirt or anything like i have to change oh my god no but i'm not even kidding like one time he like came over and i was on the couch and then he came over and then we went into my room and i had the sweatshirt on within two minutes of us like cuddling with me wearing the sweatshirt maybe he's allergic to you maybe that's so facts i honestly hope so

But yeah, I mean, other than that, I've been fucking chilling. My period is probably coming next week. I've been PMSing like crazy this week. So yeah, my period is soonish in the next couple days. I'll be bleeding. And my boyfriend's always like, you're about to get your period. I thought you were just on your period. I'm like,

Yep, once a month. Yep, once a month or like they don't understand that like you pms before your period right? So he's like so do you have your period i'm like no So two weeks out of the month is either the week before my period or i'm on my period so It's like super fast. Yeah, it's like yeah, no half the month. I'm pmsing half the month. I'm happy. What aren't you getting? Yeah, he's like oh, so you're like angry and like nauseous and like sad like you must have your period i'm like no, so

He's like, what's pissing you off right now? I'm like, nothing. I just want to cry for no reason.

Yeah, let's talk about our skincare because skin is such a journey and let's just like take... Do you want to kind of do kind of like...

Because our things are so different. Kind of like a... We can each like... You could do your stuff and I can do my stuff. Yeah, I was kind of like going to go in a different realm with it though. Like not necessarily the stuff I do. But it's not really stuff I do more. And it's like kind of tips. Yeah, mine's more of like...

how I started my skincare journey slash like got into it because like it can be really overwhelming and like for me at least like I grew up in a family where like I have two brothers. My mom's not super into makeup or anything like more like on the tomboyish side of a mom like not really like doing any of that stuff. So like I did not start a skincare routine literally until like beginning of like 2022. So it's been like

a year and a half, two years of me doing a skincare routine. And all before that, my quote for quote skincare routine was literally moisturizer and like a Neutrogena, like face wash in the shower. Like I literally didn't even like wash my face in the morning. Like it's like, I literally would only wash my face in the shower. Like so bad to even think about. But at the time, like I thought my skin was perfect because like I had no breakouts, which I,

I do have to say right now, like, just because you don't have breakouts doesn't mean you have good skin. Yeah, there's other issues with skin besides breakouts. And some people have breakouts. And there's some people I see that have acne, but their skin, like, everything else is perfect. Like, they have breakouts, but it's hydrated. And their under eyes are smooth. Yeah. Everything is kind of perfect. There's just a few breakouts, but there's no scars. It's hydrated. Yeah.

I see that in people sometimes. I'm like, okay, you might have a few breakouts, but your skin is beautiful. But that's for the people that obviously have a skincare routine. I'm convinced no one's gifted like that. So for the people that don't have a skincare routine and are like, oh, my skin's perfect, like...

I don't need skincare routine. Like, I only break out, like, when I get my period. Like, stop with the little ego that you have because I'm going to tell you right now, like, your skin is not perfect. When I thought my skin was perfect, when I compare it to what it is now to two years ago, like...

i was like a wrinkly bag like so much sun damage like dead skin like i literally just like didn't upkeep my skin i looked like old like it's like you took a layer of skin off yeah literally so but you probably did because no you weren't exfoliating weren't doing anything there was probably just so much that wanted to get off so that's just like kind of where i

Started with my skincare routine two years ago of the unknown, which we can obviously get into like my tips and tricks for myself of how I got into it. But if you want to like jump in before. Yeah. So I've been dealing with skin problems like ever since I can remember. I've always had acne prone skin in high school. It got worse.

really bad but i always grew up like i had blackheads on my nose like that kind of everyone has like you know if you like kind of like squeeze at your nose like shit comes out like there's just like that like c-bum in your nose like i've always had like blackheads and then in high school i was really starting to break out and i was always so frustrated because all i wanted was to not freaking have that so i went through so much stuff i tried everything

Every routine, every product. And then there was that phase where people were like, doing nothing on your skin helps. Gentle cleanser, nothing. Washing your face less helps. And it's like, that made it worse. Then I went to go see a dermatologist, which they prescribed me oral medication and some topical stuff that was really, really intense.

like these really, really intense retinoids plus this antibiotic, which did help my skin. But the stuff I was on was so intense. It wasn't Accutane, but I couldn't go in the sun if I went in the sun with that stuff. When I tell you guys, my skin would flake off. Like I could take my hand and brush against my face and just...

skin would fall to the floor like flakes of dead skin it made my skin so sensitive and i was like this sucks and it was like an antibiotic which you're not supposed to be on for a long time so i stopped doing that and have just been like ups and downs and finding what works for myself because then also obviously we went off birth control so so much goes into my acne some of it is um just genetic and how my skin is because like i said i've had it for a long time some of it's hormonal um i always get a lot of

advice over dms, which like I appreciate because I know people are trying to help but everyone's like

Try this in your diet. Try that. Like, my diet has changed so many times that I really don't think it's a diet thing because I've, like... You've done it all. I've done so much with the way I eat, like, and how I exercise and how I do anything. And, like, it's never made my skin better or worse. So I really don't think it's a food thing. I've literally had it forever because some people are like, oh, it's because you were vegan. And I'm like, I had this in high school and I was not vegan. Like, and people...

Tell me I should go vegan and that would clear my skin like in high school when I wasn't it's like oh going vegan Will clear your skin. Oh, I'm vegan. I still have acne like and then it's like oh I'm gonna slowly re add animal products back in because people are like, oh that'll be better for your gut I still have acne like it's not I don't think it's a gut thing It's just a mixture of kind of the way my fucking skin is and my hormones so an important note that I put on here is

take care of your skin for the best that you can like because you want to try to do the best that you can but also be okay with the fact that I don't think I'm someone that will ever have perfectly clear skin at least once a month like I'm gonna get a fucking pimple like and that is just how the cards were dealt and

And that's fine. Like, and that's just something I kind of have to accept that like, I don't think, and if there is one day that gets me perfect or just with age, it stops. That's cool. But I've stopped trying to strive for like pictures of girls online that have like this perfect glass skin. Like that's just not fucking me. Like I just don't have that. And you don't have to strive for that either, but you can still do the best you can to like manage it. I'm kind of in the phase where I manage my skin the best that I can and

rather than like look for some crazy solution. Yeah. And I feel like this is a first like time in your life, at least where like you've been like financially like doing as well, which I think you can obviously get into, which is like, that's like a big thing too. I feel like,

as you get older, you can like financially afford to put more effort into stuff like that. Cause like for me, like college, high school, whatever, it's like CVS. Yeah. Like I was getting CVS shit and then I would get fucking shit from everyone online when I would post about my like Neutrogena, like pink scrub face wash. Everyone be like, that's so bad for you. And by the way, like there is really good stuff at the drugstore, but like,

I more so my products aren't even expensive. It's just that I went to go see an esthetician. Yeah. So I go to see an esthetician and that costs money. It's not ridiculously expensive. Like it's not like out of this world crazy, but it's pricey. Yeah. It's not a cheap, easy. What I would say though is like for especially college students, because our demographic is really big with college students is like,

Think about what your priorities are right now. Like financially, like priorities with like yourself. Like if something like your skin is like a big insecurity of yours, maybe take a step back from getting your nails done every month. I haven't gotten my nails done in a long time. And put that money towards getting a esthetician. Can't fucking speak. And putting your money toward that because maybe that's something that like you want to really work on. Like or you get lash extensions. Calling myself out. I used to fucking do this.

Stop with the elastic extensions. Put your money somewhere else for your self-care routine. Yeah, I haven't got my nails done in a long time. One, I haven't had a lot of time. Two, I've been seeing an esthetician a lot and I'm just trying to be not spending my money like a dumbass. So I'm like, I'm literally just going to take a break on going to the nail salon because I know I'm paying...

A decent amount of money to keep up with my skincare routine because something we both do that is a tip that we can both talk on is you need to do something consistently for your skin and not change up products a million times. Yeah. Like...

New products are fun and I feel like with TikTok culture and like the influencer culture, you just want to try stuff. You want to use whatever your favorite content creator is using. But you don't want to be changing products so often because you're going to have no idea what works. So you can be like closely following it yourself. I do like to go see someone because she makes me stay on a routine and tells me when to change it, tells me when to use everything. And I've stayed using consistent products for the past like –

over six months and before i was changing so much i'd use a product it wouldn't work i'd go on tiktok look for skincare best drugstore moisturizer get a new one you know rather than like someone like really watching what i'm doing and being like try this out how do you react keep it going for this amount of time then i'm gonna look at you and really do it and that's something like even if you're not seeing someone staying consistent with a product or

routine for at least like a couple months before just buying all new crap and doing something else. Yeah. We're obviously fortunate enough with social media comes a lot of PR. So in that sense, like we've been given the opportunity to try a lot of new products and that's where I've found the best like results with my skin is it's

Using a product consistently and then if I ran out of that pr product like and started using another company's brand I would notice differences in my skin and that's how I would notice like holy shit Like this product obviously is not the best for my skin I'm gonna go right back to the other product that I had And get more of that and put that back into my routine So like taylor said just like taking notes on what you're switching in and out Also, if you have acne being really really

Really looking into the ingredients in skincare products for pore clogging ingredients, which you can listen to that ClearStem episode. If you Google like F word ClearStem on like Spotify or whatever, it should probably come up. But pore clogging ingredients are huge. It doesn't matter if it says on the front...

non-pore clogging look up on the clear stem website they have a pore clogging ingredient kind of finder database thing you copy and paste the ingredients put them in there like literally look for the product on like target or something target will have the ingredient list paste it it'll tell you if there's pore clogging ingredients i'm very very picky not so much with makeup because i

you gotta pick and choose your battles but for skincare i will not put something on my face if it says it's pork clogging ingredients yeah so just like be mindful of that the ingredients you're putting on your face um so yeah for myself at least when it came to like getting the knowledge and all this stuff too because i know that can definitely be like overwhelming like fuck like there's so much out there there's tiktok there's endless people just putting any info out there the

The first thing that I did, which I didn't even realize I was actually doing, but this is kind of where it got it all started for me is I went and got a facial and I took full advantage of the fact that I was getting a facial. And I asked so many questions sitting down during that facial, just like asking, like she was looking at my skin. She was telling me what she thinks my skin type is like.

products that I should probably be using, the amount of times a week that I should be exfoliating. Just getting as many questions out as you can from a person one-on-one rather than on the internet makes the world of a difference. So if you're going to go get a facial, take advantage of the fact that someone who knows what they're talking about, you can ask questions to. My thing though with that is just be careful of what they're promoting to you because...

They're obviously going to be like, oh my God, like this product out front at our store is like going to be perfect for you. Like avoid that at all costs because I feel like anytime I've gone and get a facial, they're just going to promote the shit out of the products that they have at their spa. Yeah. I like used to be like that and now I'm...

My mind has changed. Well, the thing is, I was just going to get like a facial just to get a facial. Like I wasn't like you're at least like working with her for your skin. Like it's not like I was going back to that lady to get a facial again. You know what I'm saying? I would say though, like,

the reason i think i like changed some of my mindset on that because i was big on that i was like i just don't want to be sold things to be sold things and i said that i was like one i did not realize some of them were as cheap as they were like when she was grabbing me a whole routine i was like does she think i'm about to pay six hundred dollars for all these bottles they were drugstore price products yeah um they have different like levels of stuff they have more expensive stuff but i was shocked i was like she was like oh no they're not expensive i was like oh

amazing i thought you were grabbing like a hundred dollar face wash and i was gonna be like put that back right now no that's what it was for me like literally so expensive they have expensive stuff in there for sure but i think i realized like there's professional grade pretty much any industry has like professional grade products yeah you know like um and there's like certain things you'd go and you get professional grade products for like i can't like think off the top of my head but like

I don't know like you have like an injury somewhere like you get the right stuff for it like just like professional grade products from like a licensed person that can only like only give you them um and I heard like really good things about the brand and people like I people were saw that I was using it and they were like oh that stuff works so well so it's definitely like tricky in that aspect but um even if I don't keep using these products because I mean I would like to because like if something's working there's like no reason to change it

But you can still get an idea of kind of what the routine is. Like, let's say I stop using these products. I know what she gave me. Like, okay, we're doing a gentle cleanser. We're doing...

Salicylic acid and we're doing moisturizer. You know what I mean? Like I still have an idea of what the products are So you can use them like one time it's like okay Similar to this like I know what i'm looking for in a product and I know what i'm looking for in a morning and night routine But yeah, it definitely can be like tricky because you have to remember like it is a business That's why it's really important to find someone you trust because at the end of the day exactly That you should be coming back

Less like i'm pretty much done ish now i'm doing two like peels on my face because I have acne scars So i'm doing like too many like peels and then we're like kind of done like they should want to work you like

out as any business should be right like any business should be um and estheticians also one of those and a lot of them i think just do consultations where they can like talk to you about your skin too so you can also try to book one of those but yeah asking questions about that to people is so important yeah get because like i wouldn't have even like

When I went to go that facial, like I wouldn't even like really have thought about it. And then I remember like after the facial going home that day and then after like doing my own research like online. And then from there, I was just like gaining more knowledge. We then ended up having the podcast with ClearStem and then we were talking with them. And I was obviously like, if you listen to that podcast, I was so fucking quiet in that podcast, like not really asking questions. I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about. But I was sitting back listening and observing and like learning so much.

So it's just like stuff like that. Listen to podcasts, get just get yourself over to like a facial, ask questions. And that's where like step one, at least for me, was learning what to do and then slowly creating a skincare routine and then following it consistently. So that way I could see how products were responding and then learning.

getting more like deep with it and it's a lot of trial and error yeah because it's truly what works for someone might not work for someone else because the causes of everyone's skin problems are completely different for example like i said people reach out with a ton of advice and once someone from my hometown reached out and was like hey like my skin looked just like yours what helped me is like she took out all the active ingredients so all the acids the toners the stuff that's a little more harsh and just did all gentle products and i'm like

that doesn't work for me like if i don't have the like harsher stuff that's like going at the acne i will my face will go insane yeah i i need the active stuff but it's like yeah our skin look really similar and her face like cleared because some people might get acne because they're putting too much crap on their skin and they're like so it's like every person is so different it does take a lot of trial and error even working with an esthetician who's a perfect like

professional in it. It's like, hey, try this. Keep me posted on like the first few weeks how it is. Like, it's not just like, try this. Guaranteed it's going to work. Miracle worker. Yeah. It's like, let me know how you're feeling and then we'll reassess because you don't know. Like, you just don't know. You could be like allergic to something. It like gives you kind of a rash, like makes you itchy, like literally anything. Yeah.

It can be trial and error like for me for the longest time I thought I was allergic to benzoyl peroxide and everyone kept telling me to use benzoyl peroxide But it would always make me itchy and red I didn't know you could like put it on for only like five minutes and wash it off Like she just like told me another way to use it and it's like we worked up the amount of time that my skin can Handle it on my skin and it's trial and error You're not just gonna find the right stuff for your skin the first time you buy product

No. Even with an esthetician. But that's the point. Like, they'll help you and monitor. Yeah. It's a long journey. Definitely a long journey. Yeah. But then that's why, like, after you start to really figure it out, it gets, like, more fun because now I've been adding in more things into, like, my routine because I've put less of a focus and less, like, energy in figuring out what works for my skin so that way I can add in more things. Yeah.

And just getting really consistent with it. Because then once I figure out my skincare routine, now I'm really into my hair care routine. And now I've been doing hair masks and stuff, which I wouldn't have jumped into the hair mask stuff or any of that stuff until I...

Felt comfortable with like my skincare stuff just because it's it's a lot. It's overwhelming. It is very overwhelming There's so much there's so much information out there. And like you said before it's so hard to Know what's right and what's wrong to put on your face, but I don't think there's any product That's like a miracle product. No, I think people are like this is a miracle product like this cleared my skin I think it's like really a consistent routine and obviously there's like

yeah your products and your routine work but it's like that's probably not like the one thing and they didn't like find it right away like i feel like it's kind of like oh my god why can't i just find like a miracle product that's gonna like make me look like that yeah and i just like don't think it's one product fixing it for people it's like how we've said before with people that lose weight and like it was this it's like okay it was also

all of these other components that you're not listing like you're drinking more water you're exercising you're doing this you're doing that and it's like you think it was one thing and it's like okay it probably wasn't um

So I don't think there's one like miracle product, but being consistent with your routine and then obviously, obviously, obviously doing all the little things. Take your fucking makeup off before you sleep. Like wash your pillowcases, drink enough water, wash your face after the gym. Like all those little things you need to be doing. Like you can not be complaining about acne because like I tell this to myself when I wake up on a Monday and my skin looks like shit. Like if you slept in your makeup over the weekend, like that's your fault. Yeah. You did that to yourself. But then I throw on a mask and

I put that in here as a note. Face masks, huge. Good ones. Good face masks, change the game. Need to get a good face mask, 100%. Like, if you're going to get, like, put some money into something, get a good fucking face mask. Yeah. Like, don't get, like...

Like when you go to like Target or Sephora and there's little like package ones with like flowers on them. Yeah, no. Those make my face burn. Fuck that shit. You need like a good one. Okay. Have you used the, I don't know if I say their name. No, but I just realized in one, like I have like baskets of like products I haven't used. I have it. Do you need to fucking use it? It was your, I have no idea where I got it from. Maybe it literally made my boyfriend the last like two Sundays have used it.

It literally like literally sucks everything out of your pores. Like you put it on and like after it dries, like you just see all your pores. I'll maybe give it a try. I'll maybe give it a try. Like I have no idea where I got it. Like I have so many things of like products that I've just like accumulated that I haven't used and I saw it in there. Like, yeah, I'm like, was this yours? Like, were we moving in this? Like ended up my shit. Like, I don't have this. Like, I have no idea, but I do have one. Do it.

I'll do it up. But a good mask is everything. And I'm telling you, not those like crappy little ones. Not those. Those are literally going to give you a rash. No. Yeah. Don't use those. Oh, and I know she already said exfoliate. But like, I didn't realize the fucking justice of exfoliating. Like, it's magical. Like, I never exfoliated my skin before.

and now i do it like two to three times a week not overdoing it is huge i know it just depends on how much like makeup and shit i'm wearing that week you know but oh my god my face just looks like a newborn baby the next day like it just like it's glowing because of all the dead skin yeah there's a lot of exfoliating products on the market that are really really harsh and you don't want like fast things like i used to want something like so harsh like some of the products that like you almost put on and they're like you almost feel like it stings when you put it on and it's like you just want to work so fast and it's like

know like how things are going to work for the year and like slowly make you better not some something that's like going to burn your face off yeah agreed

um but do you want to quickly talk about like this shit what we inject into our face sure because i just went there today i just went and saw caleb to see my lips by the way i go to vixen aesthetics for my face i was talking about an esthetician the whole time didn't tell you where i go that's where i go i see jackie anyways i just went to caleb we see caleb at west lake aesthetics for our face

to inject us up always on our instagrams um if you ever forget like it'll be on our instagrams at some point i literally just saw him today because i get lip filler and he looked at them gave them a little massage to like i love when he does that he was like sorry i know it hurts i'm like i i kind of love it yeah like he was like apologizing for being painful i'm like i'm obsessed like i love it so he just like massaged them out for me gave them a little look to see if they migrated you know if he needed to do anything whatever whatever

um but i get lip filler and i love it and yeah like people have their like so many opinions on it like i get comments all the time like you didn't need it and i'm like i literally never said i did who said i did i don't mine are literally still settling they were so fucking big the last time i got them filled like so swollen it was nuts and i capitalized off that and made so many tiktoks with my swollen lips so that everyone in the comments was like

what'd you do to your face and all the girls were like y'all she just got lip filler like an hour ago like yeah have you never seen that um so i really capitalize off the trolls but i do get lip filler um and i don't really touch anywhere else in my face except for the one time i got jaw botox and the one time i got a little bit of botox in my chin to get rid of my butt chin you did that a while ago oh you did yeah i was talking about it with him today so i have a butt chin i hate it some people tell me it's so cute like

people either like never pointed out or they're like oh my god they don't notice they will literally be like i love your chin i'm like i hate my chin and i've told myself like ever since i was younger like i want to get it like i didn't know anything about like botox or filler so i was like i don't know what you inject to make it go away but i want whatever that is yeah like i just want it smooth so on the two parts of like

Like the butt of the butt chin and like stick out You can shoot botox in because botox like shrinks the muscle. Okay, so it like shrunk it down So that way the thing in the middle was less deep Because the muscles on the side and i'll show you I have a before and after pic from my esthetician actually But because it was a few months ago, there was still My butt chin looks way worse now or not worse. Wait, your butt chin looks worse like more pronounced because it's worn off. Oh Oh

Do you get what I mean? Yeah. Like before, like, so it's like something you need to go and do like. Yeah. And he asked me today, he was like, have you warned about doing your chin again? And I was like, no, I'm kidding. I'm like, yeah, I actually do. Like, I literally want to get that shit. Like fucking you can. It's a mix of putting Botox to calm these down and putting filler in the middle to like

smooth it out okay gotcha um but yeah i did that once um and i think i want to do it again but i just like dropped a bag on my fucking lips so like we'll wait and it's hard in the chair he's like you want to do your chin i'm like yes i want to do my chin which are actually though like for where we go it's much cheaper than a lot like i'll talk about it publicly on like social media how much we pay

And it's $10 a unit. And it's that's cheap compared to a lot of people. Also for lips. Yeah. People were amazed when I told them how much I got because at most places, apparently this is the only person I've been to for this. So I don't have like vast knowledge of what they do. People were shook to the core because they're like, how much did you get in your lips? I said 1.2.

And they were like, but they make you pay for the full second one. So most places. So I've learned. Yeah. If you're doing 0.2, 0.5, 0.6, you still have to pay for the whole thing. For the whole thing. I know. No. And I was like, no, I only paid for the 0.2. I didn't pay for it. I got a syringe and a 0.2. They were like, what? I was like, yeah, because Caleb.

is good yeah and caleb doesn't charge me for a syringe i didn't fucking put in my vase yeah so yeah he didn't do that for us but that is normal like you're not getting like i think you're getting screwed because caleb doesn't do that to me but that is a thing that gets done you're not like it's like you got scammed if someone did that to you like people do do that yeah just know there are people out there that don't but people people um

I have to pay two whole syringes even if you only use 0.2. Yeah, and another thing too is like people always ask, how did you find the people or how do you know like where to go? Do you do research or anything? No, I don't do research. The only thing that with anything out there is referrals. Instagram. If I have a friend that has gone there or has talked greatly about it, I'm just going to go. That's where I'm going to go. I, for the most part,

Have only ever really gone based off of like a good review someone has left that I know of to go somewhere. But yeah, Instagram too. Like you can look at their Instagrams. I'm sure that that will help. But that's how I found like where I go get my hair done. Yeah. Instagram. I found someone who has done like a color I wanted. Yeah. Found it on Instagram. Exactly. So...

That's my only piece of advice when it comes to finding like somewhere to go Yeah referrals definitely huge for someone sticking needles in your face Because there's a lot that instagram can't show you you want to be comfortable you want they're sticking needles in your face Yeah, you just want it to be a pleasant experience. You want to feel comfortable? Clean like there's a lot that goes into someone sticking needles In very like dangerous placings and like literally injecting shit into your skin so like

get like some good feedback from real people in your life not necessarily the internet because in terms of like written reviews like you just don't know like find someone that you know and has gone somewhere yeah and as far as my face is concerned i very what was it like

Summer 2021 When I first moved here The first thing I ever did was lip filler My lips were always like a really Like big insecurity of mine Not only are they unsymmetric But they were so fucking small Like so small

Maybe I'll post another transformation soon, one day. But I started off with lip filler and then I slowly worked my way into getting Botox. I started with baby Botox. Baby Botox is literally just like minimal Botox. It's the same product. They just call it baby Botox because you're getting barely any Botox. So I eased myself into that with getting it in my foreheads.

And then now I just get Botox in my forehead and in my 11s and then my crow's feet, which is your crow's feet is like right at the edge of like your... The creases on your eyes. Yeah. And the reason I do all of this is for wrinkles. Like not only when I didn't take care of my skin would have the worst like lines in my face...

And obviously because I didn't have a skincare routine, I just looked like a leather bag. So that helped me a lot because I did used to move my face a lot. Like facial expressions were like really, really fucking big for me. Your forehead isn't moving at all. Yeah. So like...

that is huge now like my forehead like makeup stays forever because it doesn't fucking move but like if i were to show you a picture from like two three years ago like i had just like constant lines on the top of my head like no matter what they were just constant lines yeah you don't move your head and so that's why i did it i i think there's a big like stigma behind botox of like you're gonna look plastic blah blah blah

it's not the botox i think it's like the fillers people get in their face people get jaw filler like cheek filler like the fillers is where like people will take advantage of that and it goes too far i've also seen there's so much people make a video and they're talking and nothing moves yeah nothing moves and you're like yeah that's a little scary like yeah you'd

Like, literally nothing's moving on your face. I think that's also finding someone you trust and, like, who's going to give you good guidance. And tell you no more. Like, you need someone who's going to be like, oh, no. I went to go get my lips done, and I was kind of going off, you know, what I saw people post that they had kind of thing. And lip filler amounts are going to look different on everyone. I have naturally bigger lips, so I need more filler to fill the surface area of my lips, if that makes sense. So everyone...

One syringe will look different on every person because if you have smaller lips, you don't need as much yada, yada, yada. So I was just going on like what I saw people post and I was like, I feel like like a 1.5 and Caleb was like 1.2 and I'm like, I appreciate that, you know, because you could have got the chart like 1.5 would cost more but like someone that's going to be like, no, I think less. Yeah, that's like a huge green flag. If you're going to someone to shoot up your face, you're

If you ask for a bunch of stuff, especially if it's your first time or you already have a lot done and they're like, let's like maybe do a little bit less this time. Let's maybe try this instead. Really like guiding you in a...

in a solid direction because a hundred million percent 1.5 would have been ridiculous like but you know i just thought like kylie ross just kylie ross just posted she's 1.6 in her lips that's crazy but like it looks different on everyone every amount looks i i only have i've never done a full syringe because you have naturally i have really small i've only ever gotten like a 0.7 0.8 yeah so you know i'm like kylie ross just said she's yeah six why can't i have 1.5 she's 0.6 like and they look good so i can have 1.5 but it's like

it's going to sit different on everyone so that like i feel like that's kind of green flag of someone not just overdoing it and letting you sit there and be like oh you said two syringe yeah let me put two syringe and then you're gonna like look bad yeah also a red flag with filler that i was talking to him about i was like it's so funny because i thought with lip filler before i even went i thought it was one shot in the top one shot in the bottom

That's just what I pictured. Maybe two. Like a balloon? I thought it was maybe four max. Like one on this side, one on this side, one on this side, one on this side. You're there for like almost an hour. Not an hour. That's dramatic. He pokes you with that needle. Like 15 times. More. Yeah. I would say upwards of 50. He pokes you with that needle. 50 times. Come on now. He pokes you with that needle at least four, at least and more 10 times each quarter. That's 40. At least. Yeah. Yeah.

It was like a lot in a long time. At least four times in each like quadrant of your lips. I mean, at least 10 times, which is 40. And I think it's more than that. I think it's like 50 times. And he was like, yeah, that's something to look out for. Like the more they... It's more precise that way. So if you're like... If you go to someone and it's like four pokes and you're out, that like wasn't as precise. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. Yeah. But...

Yeah. And then another thing that I have also did three months ago, I just posted a transformation on this on TikTok, which I was so excited to finally post that. And I didn't even realize that you look same bro me out. And I was like, I need it. I need it. I need it. Dude, same bro. I was like, fuck. Cause I wasn't, first of all, like I had the draft like sitting there cause I knew I was going to do it like three months like down the road.

Of a transformation. And then I... My jaw dropped to the floor. And I did it so... Hold on. Let me... I'm sidetracking. Tell them what happened. So, anyways. So, guys. I get... Now, I've been, like, kind of struggling. Taylor, like, before me, got jaw filler for... Jaw Botox. Yeah. What the fuck, Sam? What am I saying? Jaw Botox for...

Like the clenching of her jaw. And like, I realized like I kind of had this issue, but like never really like thought much into it until it started to get like worse. Cause I think like with like anxiety or just like things, it's like,

You don't really think it's that bad. And then you start to think about it. And then like the more you think about it, things get worse. Is it, does that happen for you? Kind of, but also like my anxiety over the past years I've had, it has manifested itself in so many different symptoms. Like first my anxiety gave me stomach issues. Then my anxiety gave me breathing issues. Then it gave me jaw issues. Like it's,

Yeah. It will come in different physical symptoms. It's almost like once I figure one out, it's been many different physical symptoms. So it could just be you kind of like developed it. Yeah. Or because you're thinking about it, your anxiety was like, you're clenching your jaw. No, literally. So that's what it is. And then I realized it got so bad to the point where I was like, I literally couldn't sleep like a full night of sleep because I'd wake myself up in the middle of the night from clenching so hard. Yeah.

And so I was like, you know what? Fuck this. Like, I'm going to go do it. So I went to go do it. Um, and I got 16 units on each side, which if you do the math, $10 per unit, there you go. That's the math. Um, I can't do that in the top of my head right now.

16 units per side. Oh, 320. Okay. Yeah. Perfect. Smarty pants over here. Um, so I did that and then I realized that three months were finally was finally here and I did a transformation video on Tik TOK and the difference in like the structure of my jaw is insane. So obviously what Botox does is it basically paralyzes the muscle and shrinks it.

So my jaw muscles shrunk and now my face looks less round and it's more long. And like the way now I do my contour is so different because my face isn't round anymore. It's it's like longer. It's the weirdest fucking thing. But anyway, so when I posted that and I did that transformation, I literally did that transformation. The second one, the more recent one.

super fucking hungover at, like, 9 in the morning. And then, like, people in the comments are, like, oh, my God, you look older or you look, like, you look so tired. I'm like, bitch, because I fucking was. Like, I literally posted that at, like...

9 a.m on like a sunday morning like i was fucking hungover like yeah everyone loves though in a transformation to be like you look better before i know yeah i was like i'm like bitch like i'm not wearing any makeup it's 9 a.m i have bags under my eyes yeah i look fucking horrible but the whole point is the size of my jaw like yeah like ignore the fact that i'm ugly yeah

We're not talking about that. Yeah. So the, there's definitely like other benefits that came with like me doing that for the country in my jaw is that it definitely shrunk the muscles of my jaw. And now my face looks like slimmed down. Like it looks more like a V rather than a, like a half sephiric face. Yeah.

yeah it's something very interesting and when i posted i got that everyone's like yeah yeah yeah right you got it for clenching your jaw yeah i still fucking clench by the way i'm like but not as bad because botox wears off that's the thing well yeah but even still like when i first got like it's never fully like i'm it's never i'm still doing it but it is less i agree i did less units though i didn't do as much and i didn't really notice it looks different but i didn't take such a clear um before and after so yeah

i didn't do that much though but everyone's like yeah right you did it for clenching your jaw i'm like i just told you i got lip filler because i like it why wouldn't i tell you i got botox yeah like why would i make that like why would i make that up that lame excuse people be like i was like i'm fucking if i got botox literally anywhere i tell you why i have zero reason to lie yeah and lying about what you have done is so bizarre very strange

And like, this is so fucking random, but like even with all the other shit you can do, like to completely warp your body or face and to not discuss it as like a public person is just so wrong. I think photoshopping your pictures is wrong in every single sense. Yeah. Okay. No, I think editing out like something that's not there all the time, like a pimple, maybe like, I don't have a stain on your shirt, like little like random things like, okay, sure. But like,

literally changing the way you look with the with photoshop i know you're an awful person and like i just feel as though which i love now i've been doing this more often is live photos like turning them into videos and then throwing them in my photo dumps i love doing that but like i just think like more people just need to like well it's as big now with that julia ernst girl you know i'm talking about who i'll show you when we're done she's like literally famous on tiktok for being

a string bean with like a big ass like craziest body ever. Like literally she photoshops the fuck out of her pictures. You know who also photoshops the fuck out of their pictures? Livvy Dunn. I know I saw that bro. Dude I fucking saw that. I was like there's no fucking way because I was like I've never agreed with it. Like I just like I mean I feel bad. I don't look at someone's photos and investigate the shit. I just trust the fact

that she was photoshopping pictures that were taken at like meets and stuff so if you went on like lsu gymnastic website the original photo is like how dumb could you be and then like yours is on your instagram and like those photos are different so people literally have the before and after um which i feel bad that people feel the need to do that but i also like think you're like fucked up for that you know what i've realized too more like being like a social media presence is like

The more less, not necessarily edited, but the less like pose or just like the more like day-to-day photos I post, I feel like are so...

such a better relatable thing for me to put out there because I feel more, I don't even know if this makes sense, but I was thinking about this today is like on Snapchat. Like I just fucking Spanish it out of that, like posting like my body or whatever, like stupid shit. But it's just like, it's so relatable. And like, I just feel like a normal person. Cause I am a fucking normal person. I don't want people to look at my page and be like, I obviously people want to aspire to be me, but like not in the sense of like

To a point where they can't attain it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just want to be a normal, regular, relatable girl. Yeah. On social media as a presence. Whereas some people want to take their social media presence to an extreme where they're not attainable. Does that make any sense? Like...

It's like selling a fantasy online. Exactly. Versus like come along with me on my like life. Yeah, exactly. But I don't... I think it's fine to do the sell a fantasy thing if it's real. Yeah. No, exactly. Like huge. If that's how you fucking... Which, mind you, these girls that are editing their pictures are more than amazing looking without editing their pictures. Like they'd have the same...

effect if they didn't edit their pictures like they're gorgeous yeah so it's like you could still sell that like fantasy without doing that yeah like if it's a real fantasy go on ahead like if you're just like that fucking drop dead gorgeous and your life is a movie yeah i know especially when you see like girls out in public and you look at them and you're like like fuck she's like i will girl crush on a random ass girl that i'll see out and i'm like

Damn, like, if you had a social media presence, like, that'd be crazy. Like, some girls are just so, like, gifted, like, genetically, but, like, have no presence on social media. Whereas there's these girls out there that, like, edit their stuff and shit. Business, man. Social media is business. I know. It's crazy. Anyways, this was a long episode, I feel. It was, and I need to get ready for dinner. Me too, and I have to... He's so bad. I need to, like, throw on, like, refresh my makeup and pick an outfit and... Yeah, I know. Me too. I gotta pick an outfit. But...

I don't know. I feel like that's my rant's over. My rant's over too. I just... I want to be a relatable man. And I'm trying my best to get more of my personality out there on other aspects of social media because obviously you guys listening can definitely see my personality. But I'm trying to do better on TikTok and Snapchat, like getting my personality out there more. I feel like my personality isn't out there besides on here. Yeah. Some people were saying that I sound...

Like there's maybe some things I do and like I sound so mean and then you watch it on video or like you see that like if I make a clip out of it and I'm like smiling and laughing, but they think in my voice that I'm like angry or something. And I'm like, I'm rarely angry. Actually, that's a lie. Things piss me off. But like, I'm not angry on here. Yeah. No. Maybe it was just like, what even is my personality? I think I'm like having an existential crisis. I was like, do I show my personality? I don't think I have one. Um, I think I'm personalityless. You're a robot.

I'm going to get like. Can you get a UTI from holding in your pee? Yes. I'm going to get a fucking UTI from holding in my pee. That's like exactly how you get UTIs. Fuck. You're so right. Okay. I got to go. Bye.
