What's up you guys welcome back to another episode i'm sam and i'm taylor so glad to have you guys here again for another week We have so much to say and then we're gonna go into Beauty procedures we've had done and what's worth it and what's not yeah, it just kind of the whole rundown You know if you had to pick which ones to get which ones are worth your money and which ones are not But first before that do you have one thing about you? Do not

Um, fuck, I didn't write that. I'll give you time to think. Dude, I literally wrote everything else down besides that. I'll give you time to think. So my one thing about me is that I'm in the peak of my single girl era and it fucking sucks actually really bad. Like I think, well, like right now I'm doing better because it's like peak follicular phase. So I'm thriving. I'm thriving. Peak follicular phase. I'm thriving. So I'm going to like take this week strong and know that like I'm going to have a week of thriving. Mm hmm. Um,

And I'm just not looking forward to when I go down bad again and I feel more down bad. But, you know, this week I'm good. But the single girl era does just kind of suck really fucking bad. Like, honestly, like, I'm just not even going to sugarcoat it. I'm going to start making TikToks about it. Like, talking, like, I'm going to start sharing the journey on TikTok because part of me is like,

I'm gonna keep it private and then i'm like You keep nothing of your life private and the girlies want to know like so many of you Literally warms my heart. I was getting the sweetest dms from you guys About it and like people being like, oh my god I'm going through the same thing like the sweetest things like in my head I'm, not oversharing on the internet. Like i'm telling you guys that care so much and like why is he making so much noise? Is he?

His breathing is so loud. It's like whistling. Anyways, Mac is like, his breathing was like overstimulating my brain. Like in my head, I'm not telling the internet. I'm telling like you guys that care a lot and are like in my DMs and want to know. And it's also just like, why not put it out there? I don't know. Like I want to just like share more of the journey because it sucks. And I think it's the first, you know, like real adult relationship like ending, which is weird. Yeah. It's weird. Like being so adult. Like it's just weird.

But yeah, single girl era fucking sucks. I can't really. I was single for five years. So I'm like, I'm fucking over it. But my one thing about me, I guess I will say is that

One thing about me is I need to put into consideration everything we've talked about the last two weeks with hormone health, birth control and stuff because the last week has been mayhem for me. I got my period this morning and it was 10 days fucking late. So I'm like freaking out and I know there's been so much change in my life in the last two months and the last two months my period has been crazy. So...

My period my cycle last month was eight days late this month 10 days late And I know, you know, i'm eating red meat now. I'm incorporating milk I'm running like there's just a lot of different things that my body is like doing so I have been really cautious about my hormone health, but I think i'm like diving a little bit more deep into it Going forward especially now that I started my period like this is day one like okay like figure that shit out like

Be more cautious on it. Well, not cautious because, like, I'm doing everything right. But, like, in my word, it's, like, giving yourself grace. Like, you need to, like, give yourself grace.

It's like, you have no idea, dude. I took like, I think seven fucking pregnancy tests. Oh, yeah. That's the one thing about single girl life. That's great. But... Yeah, no. I was like, I'm freaking out. And I know I didn't. My body like still feels, even though it was late, like it still feels like I'm in those phases and I feel like I'm getting my period. But I just like haven't gotten it. And then today, finally, I woke up and I was like, yes, I got it. So moving forward in a positive mindset.

because I've been fucking wanting to go crazy, which we'll get into on yesterday. No, it's hard. It's a hard life out here changing so much so fast. Yeah. It's very, very hard. My camera's literally going to die. No. I thought it was charged. We have two sessions anyway. Okay. So, you know, whatever. Anyways, my favorite of the week is eye patches. Okay.

I'm using the Tula ones. I feel like brand is kind of get whatever ones you want. I'm going to need to place another order because I did eye patches Sunday and like a few days ago. Was it Saturday? I don't know. I did it this morning when I woke up. I did so much skincare this morning. I'm going to add on another favorite. My little like I think it's called EMF.

I don't know. It's like red light and it like vibrates and sends like signals through your muscles and like tightens your face. I literally got it on TikTok because it was so viral. So I had to get it. Bought it on TikTok shop. I love it. And just like doing that and my eye patches and my ice roller. Like I just love all the skincare. I did so much skincare this morning and I loved it. But I'm in my eye patches era. I'm going to get a lot more. And I just love them. Like there was nothing better than them. It was like...

6 a.m. like put on my eye patches did a fuck ton of skincare I felt great but yeah so I have the Tula ones but I feel like you can get any brand yeah I get the the gold dupe ones on Amazon like the super expensive brand that's at Sephora they have like a dupe on Amazon I just get those yeah it's just like

I don't even know if they do anything. It's just the vibes. Yeah. It's just the vibes. Mine like frees my face. I'm supposed to keep mine in the fridge and I don't because if I keep them in the fridge and I fucking forget to put them on, but they're just in my room. Right. Oh yeah, I could never put mine in the fridge because I'm like a whole floor up. Yeah. I'm not going down to the fridge. I just like forget. I'm like, fuck it. Yeah. But my favorite of the week is...

Hank's restaurant. This is not an ad at all. I'm being dead ass. This restaurant is so good. If I ever need a quick place to go... It is so good. Guys, happy hour. If you live in Austin, happy hour is from 3 to 6.30 every single night. And they do...

Eight dollar wines. So you can get a wine based on the glass. And then what is the Le Clarté thing? Like the glass thing that they bring over? I don't know what it's called, but I know what it is. So you can get a full one. Like a decanter? Yeah. Like it's like the glass thing. They don't bring you a bottle, but they bring you like the little glass thing. So you can get a glass of wine. You can get a half of that glass thing or you can get a full glass thing.

I got a half one for $16 and dude, it literally had like three and a half glasses in it. And I got so drunk. I was $16 worth of wine, three glasses. If you and I ever want to just go get wine drunk and then go maybe for my fucking man, that's where I'll make a reservation. Yeah, dude. But it has to be early if you want to get the happy hour. Something like something. I don't want to do anything crazy for my birthday. I'm not in the mood. Yeah. Like I just want to do something. And the food was great with $3 off all the apps. We've got three apps and then just one entree because we're like, fuck it. Like,

All the apps look amazing. That's the move. Sharing a bunch of food on a date is the move. Yeah. So it was nice. And I like just going to check out new restaurants, but I will say I will probably go back there again. I had brunch at Hank's not that long ago and the pancakes were so good. They were so good. They were like lemon blueberry. They were phenomenal. Yeah. The last time when you went with me when we got brunch, I got that quiche too. That quiche was fucking phenomenal. Oh, wait. Can I add one more thing?

more favorite thing about me or one favorite of the week? Jeez, I'm fucking freaking out. Yeah, you can say anything you want. It's our show. Dude, bro, oh my God, I'm literally in my croissant era. Why? You know what? I said to my boyfriend, we were at fucking Starbucks yesterday and I was like, I really want, I was like, I want a croissant but like I also want the turkey sandwich and he was like, just get both.

And then I'm sitting there eating it. And I'm like, I'm in my croissant era. And he looks at me and goes, you're literally in every era. Stop making everything an era. I'm like, you just don't get it. Everything has to be an era. You don't get it. I'm in my Starbucks era. And I am. And every time I post a croissant or talk about a croissant, literally people will either comment on the TikTok or swipe up on something and be like, you are literally in your croissant era or pastry era. I'm like, I am. I love pastries right now. Well, what men don't understand is romanticizing your life. Literally. Literally.

And he always, oh, not like him, but like guys in general, like girls are so delusional. Yes. I want to be. I want to be delusional. But I need to romanticize my life. Like this morning, I had a great morning romanticizing my life. And like, was it too expensive? I was thinking about the cost of it when I was driving home. I was like, this was an expensive morning. And then I was like, but I'm so happy. And you can't put a price tag on happiness. No, you can't. And okay. So clip that. Speaking of that with class passing your classes, let's just.

Talk about that real quick because I'm starting to realize ClassPass might be not worth the hype of like how expensive it is. Because I'm starting to lean away from liking Solidcore. I think it's like kind of like culty and stuff. Whoa, whoa, no, no, no. Save. I think we might need to save this because one of my pop culture things is about Solidcore. Okay. So... Well, we can work into it now because it's pop culture. Didn't you say your favorites? Oh, wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hot gossip. Okay. Okay.

Guys, I might like I might never go to solid. No, neither will I I don't want to no, no, I'm it out Did you see the tattoo? Yes. Okay, so that's an email for it. I was like When I saw this I was like this is hot gossip on the podcast for sure I knew I had to bring it up. So

celebrate a milestone with us get a solid core tattoo now you see this and i first you think maybe you get a lifetime free solid core yeah because i could see someone because lives atx does that yeah but it's like half a joke no it is but they got a free like people could get a free membership get a free membership but they're not like actually like wanting you to know but i could see someone getting a solid core tattoo because the logo is so minimal and some people just get a fuck ton of stupid tattoos and like

Your exercise journey means a lot to you. So I could see someone getting a solid core tattoo because it's so minimal. And like some people just like do tattoos everywhere and don't give a flying shit. So I could see someone doing that. And if it was like for a lifetime of free solid core, I 100% could see someone doing it. And I would think it was kind of a joke. But no, no, no, no, no. For the first two weeks of November, you get a tattoo. They have five options. Like it has to be like what they say or four options. And then you get a tattoo.

You get $100 in class credit. That's a month worth. That's not even. That is two and a half classes. Yeah. That is two and a half classes. Two and a half classes. Mind you, that tattoo is going to cost like $100. Yeah. You get $100 in credit. That is nothing for a tattoo that is...

out of this world insane i went to another pilates class today i went to pure pilates it was cute i'm not gonna lie i mean it was like the same was it a real reformer uh it was like the same thing as solid core yeah okay but different because it wasn't the same like exact um like setup because it's a different plate but it's like the same it was the same fucking shit i wish i like the vibe of solid core with the lights and the music

This was like a bright ass room. Oh, hell no. So with like medium level music. Even if like the class itself is like low intensity, I still need music going. It was like not the vibes, but the workout was fine. The workout was like the same. But I think that solid core thing is crazy. Okay. You know what makes it worse? Because this all happened to me in the same week is, yeah, I go to solid core, but I use class pass.

And I have recently been getting a lot of text messages. Like, I message text messages, not like the robotic ones, from people from Solidcore asking me if I want to ditch my class pass and sign up for the full membership at Solidcore. They're like, hey, we've noticed you've been coming to a lot of classes lately. I'm like, what is this? Like...

But the memberships at the places are more expensive. That's what I'm saying. So that's why I like ClassPass and I just need to branch out because I've only been doing SolidCore and Barry's on ClassPass. So that's why I'm like, let me... There's so many other workout studios that exist. I need a...

Try them I just need referral So my like Assistant Caroline She told me About a place she likes And I was like Oh my god I see that place On ClassPass Do you like it? Should I go? And she's like Yeah it's really fun And I'm like Okay I need to try All these other places Because I'm not gonna lie This tattoo thing Icked me out so bad I don't wanna go And same with like The outreach thing Like I'm like Why are you Why are you guys so Like

It's weird. Like, I don't like the vibe it's giving. I just cannot believe that they dead ass said get a permanent ass tattoo for 100 for two and a half classes for free. Yeah, that's crazy. No, I I don't like it. You should you should get a solid core for life and bring a friend for free for life. Yes. 1000%. That should be what it is. Yeah. And if they did that, I'd be like, honestly, it's kind of funny.

Like... And another thing, too, that was in the contract with the tattoo is if you got it, they got full free, like, usage to the photos. Like, imagine if someone got it on, like, an area they didn't want to, like... No, they could literally...

Use it all for marketing. So you have to get it somewhere where it's okay for marketing. So not only did you pay to get a tattoo, they are using it for all their marketing and you don't get anything except $100 credit. Yeah. Let me know if anyone knows anyone doing that and please let us know. Yeah. Well, this is my thing now with ClassPass is

I only really like, I know you want to try a bunch of different classes on there, but I have been enjoying Barry's so much that it's like, I want to just go Barry's twice a week and ditch solid core. But I also do want to try out at 45 because I didn't even realize that they had that here. And I've never gone before. I know you're giving me the, I don't know why you're giving me the, I've been to a class. That's like, like exact. It wasn't at 45. Yeah. When you went to Georgia, right? Yeah. Same shit. I think they're kind of dumb. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. I do want to try it at least once and see. So I can have my own opinion, you know? No, yeah. I like berries better. Yeah. You know, I'm going to say berries is better. I agree. If you want to go full-fledged berries, just do the... Berries, like, membership. Membership. I'm not going to lie. I've been liking berries, too.

the vibes. It's really good vibes. No dude today's class like they were screaming everyone was fist bumping each other. I was like I love it here. In other workout classes they go tell the person next to you good job. I'm sorry in solid core no one says good job. No. Everyone in berries they're like good job. I'm like good job. Dude today I had like a

I had like a grown ass, like 60 year old man next to me and he's like fist pumping me every time. Like, and I'm like, and he has his husband next to him too. And like the two of them, they're like hyping each other. I'm like, I love this environment. The vibes kill it in there for real. And it's like kind of cheesy, but that's why I fucking love it. The instructor's like, you're an animal. You got this. Like if you're going to do one thing this morning, like how hard can you go? And I'm like, yeah.

yeah. Yeah. People are literally like, let's go like on the treadmill. And I'm like, I love it. When he said, look to the people next to you and say, good job. I was not expecting a single soul to look at me. And everyone was like, good job. Good job. Yeah. The Pilates bitches at solid core can literally never stop. No, because there's girls that are solid core girls. Listen to this. Oh my God. And I go to solid. Yeah. Like,

It's not that deep. No, I'm kidding. I go to solid core like I am solid core girl. But maybe if you are listening to this, start to hype them up more. But it's just the vibe. I know. The vibes are so strong in there that it really does make me feel like a badass. Yeah. Kind of into it. But yeah, I think that solid core tattoo thing was crazy. And I was like, this is such good podcast tea. And you know what? So, okay. I fucking could go down a rabbit hole right now.

workout classes so I don't really know if I want to but like you know how like Orange Theory is also kind of like a like there's sketchy shit about Orange Theory too and I'm like that's what Solidcore's vibe is giving me Orange Theory it's people I think all workout classes are like that yeah low-key they all are and it's so sad I think all workout all workout classes are trying to stay forever yeah all like the big franchise ones they're all trying to get you to stay forever and get locked in forever and they're all like that

Yeah, nothing I fucking hate more than Planet Fitness with the cancellation fee. Like, shit like that. Like, ugh. You make me not want to go to, like, your gym or your workout class because of how aggressive you are with, like, all these contracts and fees and, like, marketing stuff.

Yeah. Workout classes are sketch. Yeah. I have another hot gossip that everyone tagged me and I got so many messages and I just want to say thank you for knowing me so well. There's a dance moms reunion with all the girls. Oh, I saw that. And they were like the first they all just had dinner together and we're like hanging out.

My mentions are popping off. Everyone's like, oh, my God, look. And I'm like, you guys just know me so well. And then they start filming to do a reunion for TV. So excited about it. I'm literally listening to Christy and Kelly have a podcast where they rewatch episodes. So I've been listening to that again because it's so funny to listen to.

Have we ever mentioned on here that we used to live in the same building as Brooke? We did used to live in the same building as Brooke Highland. Guys, the apartment complex we lived in before this, I didn't really recognize her at first, but then Taylor pointed it out. I'm like, holy fuck, wow, we live in the same building as her. And the thing is, she's a normal girl here, mutual friends. She's a normal girl. And one time Paige was visiting her, and they were both coming into our apartment complex. And y'all, I almost...

shit my pants. Yeah. I was like not broken page. We were like in the car though like driving past and they were standing there. Yeah we drove past their car like I was like holy fuck broken page from Dance Moms. I'm dying but I had to act cool because she was just a normal fucking girl in our apartment complex but I'm like I

I know everything. And I remember we were trying to put it together too. We were looking at her TikTok and we're like, oh my God, no, like that's literally the same kitchen. The same kitchen in the same corner. I was like, yeah, I was like, that looks so familiar. And then like she would be on the garage like taking photos. I'm like, I've taken photos up there. Yeah. We're like, that kitchen is suspiciously familiar. Yeah. You live in our building. It was like the TikTok she was like breaking into a cake or something. Yeah. I was like, oh, that looks familiar. Yeah.

100% live in our building and yeah I saw Brooke and Paige and I was like fangirling as fuck but they're just like girls like my age. They're so weird. But I'm obsessed. Yeah it is so weird to think about celebrities like that. The thing is it's weird because they're not celebrities. But that show they are because that show was so good. I was going to say they kind of are. But they're not. Like Kendall just goes to college. She has like 11 million followers. It's a weird level. They're like the most interesting level of famous to me because

everyone that likes them is just girls that were their age and they were just little kids on this show but that show shaped so many of our lives and was so big but they're just normal fucking people like i don't know like jojo is the most successful oh yeah jojo's the most successful even though she's so she is so like has her own fucking controversial issues jojo's the most successful and then maddie and then mackenzie and like

Like, Kendall just, like, goes to college and is, like, on the dance team. Mm-hmm. You know? Like, they're kind of just girls. Which is kind of cool, though, because then they can kind of pave their own life. Like, if they really wanted to continue to success and be, like, up there, like, they could. Yeah. But, like, Kendall willingly went to college. A lot of them are just being influencers. Yeah. And then, like, Brooke, for instance, like, every now and then just posts on social media. Yeah. Like, Brooke has, like, a nine-to-five. Yeah. Like, it's, like... But it's because she didn't... But on the show, Brooke didn't even want to be... Yeah. She...

Like on the show. But yeah, it's just a very interesting level of fame for those girls. I also thought it was so funny. So Kendall, this goes back because we talked about Facetune on here. So two girls posted a picture together. But then when Kendall posted it, she was so Facetuned on her face. But the other girl posted the picture too. Really? So it's like, Miss Girl, you can't be doing that. Like she posted the original picture. And then what? You're just going to post a picture where you look completely different?

The One Thing About Us podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. I'm really excited about this because I literally just started online therapy myself. And can we just take a moment to chat about the end of the year season? I mean, it's a mix of tons of fun stuff around the holidays, but it's also...

kind of stressful with all the need to buy gifts, the family gatherings. It's all wonderful, but it's a lot to handle. So here's the deal. This time of year, it's entirely natural to feel some ups and downs, but guess what? You've got a bright spot waiting for you at Therapy.

But yeah, the Dance Moms reunion is just a great thing to happen and I can't wait to watch it. Yeah, I feel like I've been so busy this week to the point where I can't even listen to other podcasts to see what's like going on and

today's pop culture news. So I haven't really listened to much, but if you want to get into the week recap, because we kind of have a lot. It starts on Thursday.

We do have a lot. Because we had the Frenchie race. We did have a Frenchie race on Thursday. Yeah, I know so many people have been, like, damning me. I need to hear about the race. I need to hear about the race. It got postponed once and then, like, went into the following week. It was supposed to be originally on a Tuesday, and then I thought it was going to be the next Tuesday, but then it ended up being this Thursday, and I was so excited, but I did have to miss my kickball for it, which sacrifice is okay. Kickballs every Thursday. Macro's race is probably going to be once maybe every few months, so I needed to make sure I could go to it. So...

Um, the race was around 6.30, went for like two hours, and guys, I went in there not really knowing what the fuck was gonna happen, but let's just put it this way, Mac did fucking horrible. Horrible! He did so bad, but...

I will say, I think he probably could have done a little bit better if I showed up right at race time and like he had all the energy in the world because when we first got there and we walked into the back, which the back is an open bar. So it's the bar, you walk through the bar and then you go outside and it's this massive dirt lot with picnic tables and stuff. And they had the entire racetrack, like it was probably what, like 50 feet.

Yeah. Yeah. Like it wasn't long and it was just like a straight track. And, um, we get back there and there's like maybe six or seven Frenchies already back there and they all look exactly like Mac, like fawn color, brown color, all kind of the same size. And I let him off the leash and he's running around for probably what, like 45 minutes before the actual race happened. And,

And he was so tired and overstimulated. And I just knew I was like, fuck, I should have just like showed up when he was supposed to go. Cause a lot of dogs were showing up like right at the time. I'm like, damn it's like,

I fucked up on that one. But it was just so fun to see all the Frenchies in one room. I've never been in a room full of the same dog like that ever. Other than that one time we were at the park and it was like Golden Retriever. That Golden Retriever thing. I was like, wow, this is crazy. Like I've never seen so many Golden Retrievers in one room. But the Frenchies, it's just a different level of funny because they're all so stupid. Yeah, it was so funny to watch. Frenchies are just like the most stupid, funny, like,

They're like the class clown of the group. They're so weird. They really are. It's so funny. And like they all have a little bit of a different quirk to them. There was this one Frenchie. He was a white Frenchie and he had like a neon green vest on. And we were just naming them random names if we didn't know their name. And I named him Parkour because he had this like weird like a little twitch to him where he would like

Like jump up to the wall and bounce off the wall or bounce off like a tree or something or bounce off another dog. And then all the dog names were just so funny. Like Mac had the most normal name. Everyone had like Tuna, Tofu, Miso. Juicy, G-Man. Yeah, there was one dog named Chloe. And dude, when Chloe walked into that room, I was like, damn, you are a Chloe. Like she had a pink little vest on, pink leash, pink...

friggin... What is it called? Bandana. Yes, pink bandana. And then the mom was wearing all pink too. And then the friend with the mom was also wearing pink. I'm like, oh. And then when Chloe did come in and all the dogs charged at her because all the dogs weren't on leashes unless like the dog was coming in. The dog was on a leash and then getting let off the leash. And then

And when she comes in, she's just barking at every single dog. And we're like, oh, that's such a Chloe. She meant business for real. Yeah. And there was like little dogs, big fat ones. It was really entertaining besides the fact that Mac didn't even run. He just turned around. Dude, yeah. So then my boyfriend showed up about 10 minutes before the race. And he was the one that was going to hold Mac at the...

Start line and basically what they do is they count down three two one and you let go your dog and then you just fucking go crazy on the screaming and Waving your hands in the air trying to get their attention some people had balls and treats which I thought that was illegal So I didn't even bother using those things so I'm like screaming on the other end and I'm like Mac Mac Mac

Mac literally steps out like three feet and then gets overstimulated and just turns around and runs right back to my boyfriend. And I was like, oh my God, like so embarrassing. Like so many of the other dogs were full on sprinting straight ahead to their owner. I was like, damn, like I thought Mac was going to be good at this because we had practice out in the front yard and like obviously we were alone, but he would full sprint right to me.

Yeah, he did not do well. Not at all. But it was just I was by the end of the day like or night my fucking face was like hurting from the amount of smiling and laughing I was doing. It was such a fun time. Yeah, it was like therapy like just a bunch of dogs running around. It was great. Yeah. And lately my boyfriend's been doing this thing where the days where he works from home he like begs to babysit Mac. I'm like, okay, whatever. Like sure.

I mean, I'm going to be home too. You don't really need to babysit him, but I just know you want his company. So after the race, he took Mac home with him. And then the next day, just like babysat him all day, which it's so weird when Mac's not in the house because I feel like he's such like a small little thing, but takes up so much space in the house that it feels weird when he's not there. So, yeah. And then Friday, I went to this thing in the morning with Victoria's Secret Pink, which was just like...

It's so cool that I got to work for a secret on a campaign. That's probably my biggest dream brand of literally all time. And Halle Bailey was there like the Little Mermaid and her sister. Yeah.

When I tell you guys they were so drop-dead gorgeous, like, you see a celebrity and you're like, oh, yeah, you're a celebrity. Like, you look... Yeah, like, you don't even need to know who they are. Like, you look so pretty. Like, my friend goes over, she's like, oh, they're here. I'm like, who's here? And then they walk out. And I couldn't tell if it was her or if it was someone that looked exactly like her. And I'm like, wait, what? I had no idea there was going to be, like, celebrity appearance. I'm like, who the hell? And then they came out and I'm like, holy shit, she's so drop-dead gorgeous. Yeah.

And then when I was just like taking content, whatever, but they were so pretty. Spent my morning doing that. And then I had like a pretty chill work day, but I had to like get shit done for a Friday. But that was my morning. Yeah, me too. I pretty much worked all morning. And then that's when Friday night was when I went to Hank's. And that was an amazing time. I have been doing like dinners Friday nights, which we all know Friday dinner nights, new restaurant every single time.

And then we actually changed it up this time. So we went to a little like activity type thing after. It's called Wonder Spaces. It's up north and it's actually near Hank's. So if you guys want to make this into like an actual date night thing, go to Hank's and then go to Wonder Spaces because they're kind of like right next door to each other. So Wonder Spaces had reached out to me like a very long time ago, giving me tickets via Instagram DMs saying like, hey, like come by whenever you want. The tickets don't expire. So I kind of just like held it off.

because summer and we were just super busy and I'd rather do it on a night where it was maybe raining and I didn't have to like do something outside. So we were like, fuck it, let's just go. We know we're gonna have a long day on Saturday. Let's just go do something that involves not really drinking. And we get to Wonder Spaces. It's a 17...

art like exhibit show so there's 17 different exhibits only about 50 50 percent of them were interactive which was kind of sad I'm like looking at some of them I'm like there's like a line and you can't go past it you can just like look at it I'm like I just want to fucking touch that like it's like this weird thing like it's moving I'm like I just want to touch it and which I I did touch one of them because I

me and my boyfriend are like the same fucking person when it comes to shit like that we just like want to like touch things and like whatever fuck with things and i'm like i'm gonna touch it so i fucking put my finger because my fingernail is so long and i like try to go touch it with my fingernail it's one of those things where it looks like it's like kinetic sand and it looks soft and fluffy bro i put my finger in there and i thought my finger was gonna get amputated it was so hard it was like cement i was like what the fuck i

It was so because it was like rotating and like I can't even explain it. But it'd be so funny if it like cut your finger off and then you had to tell the workers that you broke the rules. Yeah, I know. And then they'd be like, we owe you nothing. I know. And luckily it was just my thing, like my fingernail. But if my finger hit that, oh my goodness, that would hurt so bad. They have those things are really cool. They have them in a lot of different places in Miami. The one I know of and that I've been to is called the Arctic House, which I like.

I don't know how you say that, but that's how it's spelled. And it makes me think of that. And I went to that like in high school, but that's still open. Like they have a bunch of these like interactive museums all over. And like when I went, we just took like it's such an Instagram photo place in Miami. Like you just like got to get an Instagram pic there. Like when I first opened, it was like if you didn't post an Instagram pic there, like

who are you yeah you need to post an instagram pic there so there's like places like they're really cool like they're really cool to yeah the one i went to though it was like really dark in every room so getting a photo it was dark too yeah like getting a photo there was would be kind of hard all right yeah the one in miami is like all dark but it's like like there's like ones that are like lights you kind of like it's all dark and you can like sit on the lights like i don't know yeah i think the next one i want to go to is the ice cream museum yeah i'm i want to go there

I feel like it's like chewy. Okay. Well, here's the thing. Um, I was, so I was wine drunk when I went there, but I was like thinking to myself, I'm like, bro, it would be so cool to be on shrooms for this. So next time I go, I'm probably going to, you know, microdose or something and go because we had like the HR sets and you sit down and watch like a mini movie for each of them were probably 10 minutes. VR, VR, VR. Um,

and they were just so cool i'm like i would just love to like have a set of these and watch a movie or like something in them but that that was my favorite thing out of the entire experience and i don't want to tell you all the little expos because i don't want to spoil it for you guys but they do change them i think they said like seasonally so yeah i like museums yeah and then we came back and we started watching love island games bro have you started watching that oh you gotta start watching it

Like all our favorite people in it. Callum, all of them. I'll start watching it. It's so funny. I would, I have meetings. There's only four episodes, so you can catch up. I like to watch things while I work. Yeah. So that's something I could just put on. Yeah, you should because it's, I would love to start recapping that like weekly with you. Yeah, I can start watching it.

Yeah. It's definitely a little bit different than the actual Love Island, but it's pretty similar. Some people go on the show literally for the games. Like, they admit it. They're like, I'm literally here for the games. And then other people are like, no, I'm here for love. So it's like a weird combination of the two. And it's like competitive, but not so. At the end of the day, they're all there for Instagram clout. No, literally. And, oh my God, two of my favorite OGs are there, but they're both exes. And there's so much drama with them right now on TikTok because...

It's not live, which that's the one downfall about the Love Island games is it's not live. It was recorded like a few months ago. And that's why I like watching Love Island because it's live and you actually get to feel like you're involved with it rather than having to like if you're watching like The Bachelorette or The Bachelor and you feel like you might spoil it somehow on social media by like going to check on someone's Instagram or like something like that. So I like that. I don't like that. It's not live, but.

And then Saturday... Saturday was the day. Saturday was the day we went to Wurstfest, which before that... We had healthy mornings. Yeah, we had fucking healthy-ass mornings. And I went on a three-mile run. I went to the gym. Yeah. Which...

We had to go on the earlier side because we had to literally be ready by like 12. So my boyfriend and I went on a run, literally rolled out of bed and went on a run for 30 minutes at like 815, 830. And then that run went well. That was the first morning where it's actually been like in the 60s when we're on a run. Every other morning it's been like 90 degrees. Yeah. So it felt great, but it was definitely a little bit different on my like chest. Yeah.

um toward the ends and then we came back and then it was basically time to get ready and i was rushing so much yeah i got ready so fast i went to the gym and then because you didn't wash your hair i like washed my hair oh yeah no i knew i was putting it in braids i went to the gym which if you're like girl you've said on here a million times no gym on saturdays i accidentally took like two rest days midweek so i had to like be a little disciplined on myself and

go because I didn't go midweek and thank God because the weather was kind of shitty. It was empty. Normally on Saturdays, it's a madhouse. There was no one in that bitch. It was fucking empty. I was like, thank God. That's surprising because when we used to go on Saturdays, the weather was bad.

I was expecting it to be packed. No one there. Then I went to Whole Foods because I had to pick some things up that I just knew I needed for the weekend to have food. So I made a quick run to Whole Foods and I got back. Sam was like, are you going to be ready in an hour? I was like, bitch, watch me. I'm going to be ready in 10 minutes. I'm like, I've been getting ready for two hours. I'm like, I'll be ready in literally 10 minutes. I know I was putting my hair in braids, so did not have to do my hair. Yeah. Shower.

face and makeup put on my cute ass little outfit which i didn't try on until that very moment so it was kind of i mean you had no other options not like you had a plan b it was do or die i'm like this is either gonna work or it's not and i took it out and it looked a little short and i was like but then i put it on it fit so we were all good but yeah i was definitely nerve-wracking i was like this better fit because i got no other option um and it was really fucking cute we looked 10 out of 10

Yeah, we got our Amazons both on Amazon, which I'm actually going to be returning mine. We got our Amazons on Amazon. Or our outfits on Amazon. Fuck. Dude, my brain. But I'm going to be returning mine, or at least trying to return mine, because literally the second I stepped out of the house, the button came... Like, every button on my chest, or like right here, started just fucking breaking off. Yeah. And I'm like, bro, I want to be able to wear this next year, so I'm going to see if I can try to get a refund or something. I'm definitely going to keep mine, because I realized with...

Halloween and how stressful it is to find a costume, I think just having costumes available is a very convenient thing in this life. Yeah, it is. To have things that can be costumes for things. So I want to, in my years of my 20s, rack up costumes, which I think a lot of people have from college, from like theme parties and things. Not I, but I don't know. I just need like costumes. Yeah. So we...

So Wurstfest is about an hour south. It's in New Braunfels and it's maybe an hour and a half bus ride. It was a little bit longer than that. It was. It took fucking forever. It took fucking forever. So we rented buses, which I'm going to actually just say this because it's next weekend too. So maybe some people could find this handy. Ninja Buses is doing shuttles every 30 minutes down to New Braunfels.

And the tickets are what $50 or $40 $50 or $40 And you can just get A round trip ticket And every 30 minutes They're shuffling out So that's how Our friends did it We usually rent a full bus For ourselves But unfortunately They weren't doing that They were just doing the shuttle So we're like fuck it Just getting the bus tickets And then we obviously Had our admission tickets So this day in total Was a little bit On the more expensive side A little bit on

the expensive side bus ticket 50 admission ticket 20 um i got like food drinks which we'll get into um but the bus ride was painful so many people had to pee which i literally said to everyone before we had to get there because the pickup location was at a bar so everyone was drinking beforehand before getting on the bus and i literally said to everyone i'm like guys make sure you go to the bathroom like this ride is about to be like an hour and a half and of course like

30 minutes in a bunch of the girls are complaining that it's to pee I'm like oh my god like okay so they were like Sam like say something to the bus driver I'm like hell no I'm not I'm not getting up and sitting you're the one that has to pee I'm like you're I was like you say something so like they said something and we ended up stopping at an H-E-B and literally everyone on the bus got off and ran into that H-E-B yeah I didn't have to pee but I'm like if we're gonna I know I I went and you know you know if we're gonna stop I'm gonna go pee rather than having to pee in the festival yeah as well

And then we're peeing in this HEB and then I'm like tipsy in my German outfit like looking like an idiot. We all are. Imagine like 50 people swarming into a grocery store wearing fucking. Like we look like I mean I look cute but I look like an idiot. Like a cute idiot. So I'm looking like a dumbass and this girl's like oh my god you're from TikTok. And I'm like this is not the fucking thing. I'm like tipsy in this stupid ass dress in this HEB. I'm like yes I am. Don't tell anyone you saw me here.

And I'm like, I'm buying... Dude, we were buying gum and clothes because one of our friends puked on himself in the bus. On the way there. We didn't even get there yet. Yeah, we weren't even there yet, which he had been drinking because he was at the football game earlier in the day. We didn't even get there yet. This dude puked on himself in the bus, needed to buy a new shirt and HEB. Dude, yeah. Which is actually funny because I think I'm like... Not like one of the main reasons why he got so drunk in the bus, but like a part of it is because...

He snapchatted me. He had a whole sleeve of Fireball. And I snapchatted him in back. I go, you better fucking give me one. He goes, come back here and get one. So me and Haley run to the back of the bus and we take one. And then he takes like two in a row. That was your downfall. And I was like, yeah, that was my downfall. That fucking Fireball. And we get back there. He takes him. And then we go back. And then five minutes later, after getting back to the front of the seat, I hear he throws up. I'm like, thank God I was not back there. No. Truly, like when they're texting in a group chat that someone threw up. I'm like, this is not OK. We're not even...

even there yet yeah you know so we got him new clothes in the fucking heb like little clothing section we went into like a big heb yeah because not a lot of hebs has clothes like that so we got him clothes i got gum because i was like his breath again he stank i was like i'm buying you some gum like you stanky breath like get fucking gum i gave him like five pieces of gum i'm like put them in your pocket and just chew this all day because i know your brother gonna stank

And he ended up throwing up on one of our friends Dayton too like a little bit like on his shirt and

He was like I was like dude did you throw up because no fuck he was like like blank threw up on me like oh my god like that's disgusting is like they were sitting next to me. Actually gross but the torturous bus ride came to an end. Finally Sam was drunk on that dude. I was so drunk because someone also had a Gatorade bottle with vodka in it and I thought it was a mixed drink and I was like oh yeah squirt this into my mouth. It was a straight shot. Sam was unwell on the bus. I was unwell but

Not enough. Like I was falling asleep because we also did the downfall was the mix of all the things that we were drinking before the even the bus. It was I was falling. We had whiskey shots and then a fucking canned wine whiskey and wine, which just put me to sleep. I'm on the bus literally like can we go home and I want to go to bed. No, I was like, I'm so tired.

I need to take a nap. But finally we get there and then the vibes go back up because it was like, let's get off this fucking bus and have a time. So we walk. We had to like walk again looking like kind of like idiots. No one else is dressed. And we're like, y'all are losers. Big time losers. We look so good. Like, wear your outfit. I know. Like if you're not going to go to like a worst fest, Oktoberfest vibe and not dress like that, like.

what's the point in going like you know what i'm saying like so yeah like don't even get a service on the people that we with it didn't just oh dude we will get into that in a second so we're like skipping around into the festival like literally skipping around into the festival go straight to the drink tickets because you have to buy drink tickets you can't just dude it makes no sense at all like you have to use apple pay anyway in order i'm like why can't i just

If someone that works at one of these events can explain to me why that's the process, I would love to fucking know. Yeah, you have to go to a stand to buy drink tickets. You have to pull out your wallet, buy drink tickets, and then go over to another bar and then use the tickets. It's like, why couldn't we have just made this process shorter by just pulling out my wallet at the bar, not at the drink tickets? I'm a little bit confused, but...

We had to do what we had to do. And the math was so complicated too. I'm like, so how many tickets do I need? I was like, I want to get a pint of beer, but then I'm not going to want another one because I fucking hate beer. I just want it for the vibes. And then I want wine after, which I didn't even finish my fucking pint of beer. It was, I couldn't do it. I was like, it was tough. I was plugging my nose. I felt like I had a gallon of beer belly, like,

Dude, I felt like how my dad feels after drinking all day. I was like, damn, this sucks. It was a hard thing to drink for sure, but the vibes were right. So we all have our little pints of beer and then some of us, we go straight to food. Get a bratwurst on a stick wrapped in a pretzel. We're eating our bratwurst with our giant beer.

And like when I say like, that's really all we did. No. Is sit there and eat. And drink beer. And drink beer. And drink beer.

For like six hours. For like six hours. And then we rode a Ferris wheel. Dude, the Ferris wheel was so fun. It was so fun. Which, okay, so I did take a little bit of shroom. So that was like the peak of my like, that's where I was peaking the most was on that Ferris wheel. It was so fun. And I was like, oh my God, this is so fun. And like, I felt like I was on a double date, but I wasn't on a double date. It was just me and my boyfriend and then Taylor and one of our guy friends. And like, we were just fucking with the two of them the whole time. Just being like, oh yeah, guys, like double date. Like kiss each other, kiss each other. Yeah.

Yeah. I was like, I'm going to jump out of this Ferris wheel like on the top of here. I'm going to jump over the edge like you're pushing me to my limit. One thing I've noticed too about my boyfriend is he loves fucking with Taylor now. I don't know what it is, but it came out of nowhere. He just loves fucking with you. Like, it's so funny. I think it's because since I don't have a boyfriend anymore, he's like someone needs to fill this void of like annoying man.

yeah her life so I'll make sure she gets that dose of annoying man so it's right now it's like it's a you know how your boyfriend annoys the fuck out of you but at least you get like them being your boyfriend yeah it's like none of that yeah my boyfriend he's like he's like I'm gonna fuck with you like the way like a boyfriend would fuck with you and be like literally up your ass and so annoying

And then you just get no benefit out of it at all. Yeah. I'm just going to unbelievably fuck with you. Yeah, no. He like, at first, before he was like, oh, like he asked for permission. He was like, can I like fuck with her? I'm like, I don't care. Like, just keep it like friendly. Like, like, I'm not gonna say no.

And yeah, ever since it's just been like funny banter. But listen, I'll come for your neck. Like you want to like fuck with me a little bit. You know what I started doing? I was like, how many Instagram models do you follow? And just went through his following. And then I was like, you follow Libby Dunn and Ski Mask Girl. Yeah, dude. I'm like, you want to go there? I'll go there. You want to talk shit? I'll talk shit. Yeah.

I'm like, I'm going to break up with you right now. Let me see your recently liked photos. She's like, I'm going to ruin this relationship. I was like, let me see. I was like, go to your Instagram. Press search. What's in your history? And then she kept saying this to you. And then I was like, literally, you want to go there? I'll go there. And then he goes, just check. Like thinking as if Taylor had his phone in her hands. He's like, oh, just check. I'm like, do you think I'm going through your phone? I was looking at his following on my phone. I'm like, so you think I'm just sitting here going through your phone? No.

I was like, I mean, if I'm allowed. Yeah, give it to me. Hand it over. Hand it over. So yeah, the whole fucking around with each other at Wurst Fest was a lot of fun. And then after the Ferris wheel. Because he, I was like, in the morning, he's like, are you going to get drunk today? I'm like, not really. Like, not crazy. And he's like, yeah, you are. And I'm like, why? Like, he just had it out that like. You were going to get fucked up. So we go to Wurst Fest and we're buying the drink tickets. And I'm like, well.

you said you want me fucked up i go you want me so fucked up are you buying my drinks and he's like maybe and i was like and then he got a second pitcher and i was like using it to fill up yeah yeah like whenever i wanted a little bit which thank god he did not need any more beer he was so yeah but i was like sorry buying my drinks you can't just be like i want you to get fucked up and then like what i have to pay for it yeah that's not that's not making sense

Yeah, so then after the Ferris wheel, we went back over to the table. We luckily were... I don't know how our friends were managed to finesse a table so quickly. I have no idea either. Because under the tent, every single table was fucking taken full... Overflowing. Overflowing. Like, you... There was no room. But we had the back, like, right-hand corner, which was perfect. Because imagine, like, screwing through all that just to find our friends. Oh, it was perfect. It was in the back corner. Perfect. And the table fit, like, probably half of us. The other half of us had to stand around. Gotta do what you gotta do. And...

I at this point was so fucked up like everything was just hitting me left and right and i'm like sitting there and i'm like Oh my god, like i'm literally gonna like yeah, like I can't So I was like, you know what i'm going to get a water and then from that like the rest of the day on I was like i'm just drinking water So I was drinking water water water water And then it was right around time to leave because the sun started coming down i'm like, oh my god guys Like what time is it?

I wanted to leave so bad. Me and one of our friends are sitting there counting down the minutes till 7. We're like, we got to walk to the bus at 7. And it's like 6.40, 6.45. I was like, can we go now? And she's like, it's way too early. I'm like, can we go now? And finally it was like, let's go. Yeah. And so I started to realize, I'm like, guys, wait, I'm getting too sober for this. I think I need to go get another drink before we go to the bus. Yeah.

And I was like I have drink tickets left I can't like let these drink tickets go to waste So a bunch of them went to the bus And I was like you know what I'm stopping at the bar real quick And I'm getting another fucking pitcher Like I'm gonna bring that on the bus The bus ride's gonna be an hour and a half long We needed that I was like I don't wanna sit on the bus sober With all these drunk people And so I went and got another pitcher Which that fucking pitcher didn't do shit Like beer doesn't do shit to me Like

I was still like sober jumping around having fun but I ended up actually giving like a lot of like sips to everyone like yeah it was just good I was a perfect level all day yeah I never hit like

Any point where I felt bad. Yeah. But let's fucking talk about this bus ride back. Well, the bus ride back for the most part was really, really fun. Yeah. More fun than the bus ride back. Before the bus ride back. Before the bus ride back, Sam had murder on her mind. I devilized. Sam was ready to kill someone. Sam was ready to full on get in a fist fight. Kind of what she did because it would have been really funny. But she was...

Like going for blood guys. I've never been so I cannot remember the last time i've been so mad in my life and keep in mind like i'm like Kind of sober at this point. I had been drinking water for like two hours before getting over to the bus and

Everything that basically happened is Taylor, me, and a bunch of other friends had been sitting on the ground because we had 20 more minutes until the bus came. There was a lot of miscommunication with the whole bus ride thing. It was just running late. Whatever. Just

Stupid story So we're sitting on the curb And we're waiting for it to come And a bunch of our guy friends Are standing behind Taylor And there's these Three little like Bratty little like Girls Just standing there Giggling Laughing And they're like

And one of them fucking pushes our guy friend on top of Taylor. Taylor's sitting on the ground like backwards. So both of their backs are to each other. Our guy friend's back is to Taylor's back, but Taylor's sitting and he falls right on top of Taylor and Taylor.

Within that second those girls look down at it and start cracking up and then they run away And when I saw them cracking up and like run away Oh my god fucking hell broke loose in my mind. I was like, i'm so fucking mad I was like, I literally started screaming. I go what's so i'm literally screaming at them They didn't hear anything I was saying but I was like I was like what's so fucking funny like you like you just pushed him on top of my friend like a Like are you not gonna see if she's okay? Like

Like I'm just like... That's how I'm thinking. It was so immature. I didn't see any of this happen because I was back toward it. I just had like a grown-ass like 25-year-old man like falling on top of my head. But like I didn't see any of this happen or like where any of this came from because I'm like backwards toward it. But I'm like, it's okay. I'm like, it doesn't matter. It seems like no, no. Because... And the more I thought about it, at first I was like, oh my God, not that big of a deal. And then the more I sat with it, I was like, wait, that is actually really fucking shitty because every other person...

every other girl that was around was like, oh my god, are you okay? Yeah, like reached for you and was like, are you okay? Oh my god. The guy that followed me was like, are you okay? I'm so sorry. Like, because we're not five years old and just, if you see a girl in a situation where like a drunk guy is like causing annoyance to them and your instinct isn't

Is she okay? Is that girl okay? You laugh? And even if you didn't ask if I'm okay, not laughing. You know, if you just stand there and mind your own business. Also, really important to the conversation, we're all dressed up in our cute little outfits being like fun. Dude, these girls... And these girls are like dressed to the nine in their cute clothes. Yeah, they show up like dressed like in normal clothes and we're all... We're literally like...

in like these goofy ass outfits like just want to have a fun time and these girls show up like wearing like regular clothes like you could just tell they weren't for the vibes they were not for the vibes at all since the very beginning and i would and the amount of times too like i tried to like open up a conversation with them and like try to open up like interacting with them and they would just close it down and like turn and like go talk to like the boys i'm like bro like what the fuck like

I just it was making me so mad all day and then like finally when that happened I was like you guys are not girls girls like you guys are just here to like fuck around with the guys and like not even care and what made me even more mad about it is when my boyfriend was like what do you mean like those girls are so nice like they were being so nice to me I'm like no fucking shit they were being nice to you you're a boy what do they want they don't they don't care about making girlfriends and I was like you are basically like

answering exactly what i'm saying to you right now is that they are not girls girls they don't give a fuck and That's just how it was all day and I was getting so irritated when I saw them do that like literally Hell broke loose and to make it even worse. Is that like? One of the girls like had been all over one of the guys that like our friend is openly like

like talking to and like she's trying to like finesse her way into the relationship and it like it is always not yeah so Sam the whole bus ride it was like dance dance dance dance I'm gonna fucking kill her like it was like every five minutes like woohoo fun I'm actually gonna go punch her in the face and I'm like honestly like

Make it interesting. Dude, so I went into the back of the bus. So we're like in like different groups of people and I'm in the front or I'm in the front of the bus with all our girlfriends and I go to the back of the bus and all of our friends are all over the bus. So I go into the back of the bus like with a bunch of our friends and there's a strip pole thing in the middle and

And I'm just like... I'm big goofy. I'm not trying to be sexy. I'm just like fucking goofing around in the back of the bus like with a strip pole and my beer in my hand. And this girl...

jumps on the strip pole with me and I'm like dude like it just another example of like she can't allow another girl to be center of attention she needs to hop in and also be center of attention and like she I tried talking to her like three times throughout the day shut it down every time but the one time she wants to show me any attention is when I'm on the strip pole and she's like oh another girl's star of the show can't let it happen I need to also be on the strip pole and

And I was just like, bro, like, go sit down. Like, what are you doing? So, yeah. That's just how my day went on the bus. Sam was truly...

Not enjoying that girl. I just like one thing I've like started to realize especially here in Austin is like making friends Yes, it's easy But it's also so hard to find like deep-rooted friendships with girls that are not gonna fuck you over when it comes to a guy getting involved Like it is our girl group is like pretty solid but outside of that like every other girl doesn't give a fuck like I I've been said this on the bus I go

I literally said this to all of us girlfriends. I'm like, guys, can we just talk about the fact that all of us became friends not because of a guy? We all became friends because we genuinely love each other, care about each other, and just vibed with each other right from the bat. Whereas...

we've never like had any issues really with any guys like it's never been because like guys have introduced us together or anything like that like we keep it how it is and that's what i love about our friends but it's like any other girl i'm like i feel like they just don't give a fuck they don't want to be friends with you unless there's like some type of benefit in it with like a guy involved and that's how like that's a prime example of how that those girls are i'm like i can't no it was like

People like that, I always just kept being like, karma's gonna come and get people when it comes. It's really unfortunate to be fucking acting like that. Yeah. Like, at our grown-ass age. Literally. I think she was a little bit older than me, too. No, that's not okay. I think most of them were kind of older than me, like 27. Crazy. Crazy. I just cannot fathom, at this age, putting men...

before like a friendship but it's not even it's like yes that's like the bigger picture like yeah like the bigger just in life in general I'm not saying about this situation even that situation like I can't imagine I'm like my grown age like I get maybe not saying anything it's been a long day they don't really know me but like to laugh at someone's expense like because it's the guy you like like yeah oh yeah let's also keep in mind it's the guy that she likes that she pushed like that she's trying to laugh at a girl's expense like

And there's like TikToks about it, like where people like act like that type of girl. Like as if they're in a group of girls being like, ew, like, wait, Sam, like you smell bad, like in front of, you know what I mean? Like making fun of a girl in front of guys, like to laugh at a girl at their expense. And it's like girls that would do that are so fucking icky. Yeah. They're so icky. And like obviously like she, like,

She had affected you with like the pushing of you and then like our other girlfriend was like also super upset because of like her situation with that girl. And I'm like, oh my God, like I just like can't, I can't sit here in silence. Like I really just want her to know like that she's pissing me off. Maybe she'll listen to this. I hope she does. I hope she does too. Oh my God. I mean, the good thing is I've only ever really been in the same room as her twice in my life.

That's the first time I've ever been in contact with her. So... I hope it's not again anytime soon. Literally. Ugh. Okay. But then Sunday, I literally fucking... Like...

did nothing you were horizontal and you know what i knew that was i was very productive all morning we woke up we woke up at 6 45 because the fucking time change i woke up so early too dude i was like well he woke up at like 5 30 i woke up so early too actually i'm just gonna like straight out expose myself on the podcast so at night i did hang out with my ex-boyfriend oh my god so i'm just like just let's just like make that clear yeah dude so she fucking we're getting off the bus and she goes

She's like not meeting up with Max. No, I literally guys. I'm not even kidding. I said to her a million times. I go, don't do it. Don't do it. You're going to know. No, that's not what you said. You said you can do it, but I don't want to hear. But I said, don't do it. Can't complain about it. Yeah, I know. But I said, don't do it a bunch of times. And then you're finally like, I know. I know. I was like, I'm not. I'm.

I'm not stopping you. Like, I'm going to try to stop you from doing it, but it's not working and I know you're going to go do it. So I go, okay, go do it. But if you come to me tomorrow with like anxiety or stress about it, I'm not going to fucking feel bad. Like, I'm literally not going to feel bad because I tried my best. And I feel fine about it. Yeah, you feel great about it. So I was like, whatever. Like, do you? Yeah, she said, just don't complain about it to me tomorrow. I said, do. Yeah, because I will say I told you so. And it was fine. It was actually like,

Kind of what I needed. Yeah. So I woke up really early, too. I woke up at the crack of fucking dawn and then drove home. Yeah. I was literally so hungry when I woke up in the morning, which...

Because like the time change and everything. I was just fucking confused. And I like was like, I am starving. Let's go get Starbucks. So at like 738, we went to go get Starbucks, got breakfast from Starbucks. And then we went to the grocery store, got all our groceries shopping done, meal prepping out of the way. I made meatballs, like was productive all the way up until like noon. And then from noon on, I was just in my bed the rest of the day. Yeah, you really were. And it was like something you don't normally do. I don't do it. And I was just like, what the fuck? I was like.

I just had, like, a good day overall. I watched movies. I watched two movies. I was just, like, doing some random stuff on my laptop, went for a walk, washed my sheets. Like, you know, like, just did things. Did things that had to be done. And started groceries. Like, just kind of, like, took the day so slowly. Yeah. But I enjoyed my peaceful Sunday. I mean...

I knew just because I was sitting in my bed and he's watching football. He literally was complaining about our screen time. You guys have the worst screen time. Yet his phone has been open all day with the football games just going and going and going. I'm like, don't tell me I have a horrible screen time when you literally will not take your eyes off of this football game. If I'm on TikTok all day yesterday, which I was all day yesterday, and you're on your phone watching football, what's the difference?

literally what is the difference because you guys are glued to your phone like have a conversation i'm like i literally am i'm multitasking yeah he was in the kitchen staring at his phone going you guys are so glued to your phone try having a conversation i'm like your phone is an inch away from your face what are you saying literally and anytime i would touch his phone and move it he'd be like he'd like fucking freak out he's like where's my phone where's my phone and like my screen time is so bad but guess what i read i have like two jobs i work out consistently

So who cares? I get it all done. Yeah. And so I just knew I laid in bed. He was sitting there in my bed, all curled up in a ball, watching his football because we can't stream it for my TV for some reason. Well, like we have one option, but apparently it's like not the right one. Boys don't like. Yeah. So like whatever. The reason you can't watch it is whatever. So which honestly, it honestly benefits me in that way. So you can watch it on his little freaking iPhone. Yeah.

And so I was getting organized for the week. Like one thing I do is like on Sundays, I'll just like put in my calendar all the shit that I need to do. Like the week before I'm sitting there, I'm like, fuck the rest of the nights, like literally until next week, I'm not going to be able to just like chill on the couch and just like watch TV at the end of the day after work.

Like I'm doing things all night. So I'm like, I'm, I'm sitting here not moving. Like I'm not moving. I don't want to move. So that's what I did. And like, also it didn't help that I hadn't got my period yet. Like yesterday was like day 10 of not getting my period. So I was like in my head about that too. So I was like, I'm just fucking not moving. And he was like irritating me a little bit with the fucking, he was like pantsing me and just like fucking being a nag. So I was like, I just want to like lay here and curl up in a ball.

Yeah, he was pissing me off. Dude, I was like cooking the meatballs and I was about to shove my fingers into like the raw meat. Like the raw meat. I was about to shove my fingers in there. That's when he should have done it. Oh, he got lucky though because if he did it with the raw meat on my hands, I would have fucking chased him with the raw meat on my hands. So he pants me. I'm not even wearing a thong or anything and like Taylor's sitting on the couch and he pants me and like my whole fucking front and back is out for the world to see and I'm just like, I felt so vulnerable in that moment. I was like, oh my God,

So I chased him and he goes, oh my god, I've never seen such devil eyes on you. Because I literally turned and was like, I chose violence. I was like, get the fuck back here. That's so funny. Yeah. So Sunday rotted, but

That's it for me. Yeah, that's it for me too. I had a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun. Such a long weekend. And now coming up to this next coming weekend, his parents are in town. So I'm like, he wants me to be so nervous. He's like, are you nervous? I'm like, no. If anything, I'm excited. He's like, I want you to be nervous. I want you to be nervous. I'm like, I'm literally not nervous. Can't wait to hear. Yeah, me too. Okay, so we're going to go into beauty things that we have gotten done, currently get done, and just kind of worth it.

or not worth it and the way i'm thinking of it in my head is like let's say you had a fixed budget per month of beauty things would i say to put it in the budget or would i say skip it yeah that's kind of how i'm how i'm judging my criteria is like would i say it's worth putting in your budget or would i skip it because at the end of the day if i had a million dollars a month i'd probably do all of them and and

Let's just get it right out of the bag. Lash extensions. Yeah, no. I would not. But I would say if I had someone that could keep up the most natural pair of lash extensions like every single day of my life. Yeah. Like really, really natural lash extensions.

look really pretty but they're so unrealistic to pay for oh 100 so guys we didn't lash extensions were probably i think i did them for about a year and a half i didn't do them that long you did longer i did them longer because i did them back home before i moved to austin and then i had to find someone when i moved to austin that could do them for me which um

In the moment, I think I'm fucking rocking them. But looking back on the Snapchat memories and all the photos of myself, I'm like, I look crazy. Crazy. And crazy. And worse when there's like desperate need for a fill. Or right when you get them. Right. You have like a week.

Not even. You're like three days of like, oh, that's someone that looks good. Yeah. The right amount has fallen out, but you still have some, you know, it's like a sweet spot of all. You look nice every other time. It's like, what the fuck caterpillars are on your eyeballs or why do you have two long hair sticking out of your eyes?

And it's expensive as fuck. And it also causes you not like your natural like self as much. Like when you stop wearing them, you think you look bald. You think for like two months straight. When I tell you, you think you look so ugly. And I get comments being like, you look so much better when I got them taken off. And we're like, no crack. I was like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? I look so ugly. I could never recover. And I get what y'all meant.

And let me say, also, I'm trying to become a fake lash girl for when I want to look nice, nice. Like on Halloween, I wore a fake lash. I think it's way more fun to be able to elevate and be like, okay, tonight I'm going to wear a fake lash rather than having it be your always. It makes it harder to look dressed up. Yeah. Like people will say, oh, like fake lashes are great for when you're just like rolling out of bed, don't want to put on makeup. Yeah.

In that sense, yes. That's why I loved it because I never really had to put on makeup. I wasn't into makeup at the time. All I really did was the last extensions and like a little bit of blush and that was it. But no, they're ugly. They look crazy. They look crazy. They're so expensive and time consuming. You have to sit there with your eyes closed forever. It's not even like an appointment where you can like, you know, at a hair appointment, I can work and get my hair done. No, you're

Quite literally paralyzed for that amount of time. And then you can't like wash your face really good. You can't get your face wet. Like, no. So big no. Not worth it. Don't get them. Next on my list is lip filler. I'm going to say not worth it. I know you're going to say not worth it. I'm getting mine dissolved next week. I'm going to say worth it. But caveat, I think it's worth it, but not worth it to do. Like, I don't think you need...

to go a lot like you only need to go once a year like like there's people that go so often yeah like so often like they're always getting their lips done i'm confused about that you need to go once a year you need to go once a year yeah i mean another thing too is like i just thought like i i've been doing a lot of reflecting on this i have looked at my like photos of myself from

Three four years ago before I even had filler I'm like why did I hate my lips so much back then like they were small yes but like I just got lip filler just to get lip filler out of like the trendiness out of it and another thing that I also like struggled with is like the unsymmetricness of my lips which is another issue that's more the Botox aspect but

But I'm just realizing I'm seeing so many people that are getting lip flips and I have been getting lip flips on one side of my lip. And I like it because when I smile, like it opens up my lip more and I'm just going to. That's what you want. That's what I'm going to start doing. Yeah. It's you definitely have to find what like works for you. I like how lip filler makes my lips look with lipstick on and they're less wrinkly when I have lip filler, like when my lip filler dissolves.

They like get more wrinkly. Like if I make a kissy face, it's like wrinkly. And if it's like lip filler, they're like not like that. And that's what I like. But I was never insecure about my lips. I just like having lip filler when I line my lips and put lip gloss on. But like it dissolves and you don't need to go all the time. You just go once a year or even more. Like this time I'll probably go in like a year and a half or like two.

Like, you know? Like, there was a time Alex Earl was going, like, every month and getting lip filler. Yeah. One thing I saw, me and you were the only friends that have lip filler. Like, all our other girlfriends don't have lip filler. And I was doing a lot of reflecting on this over the weekend. I'm like, their small little baby lips look so cute. I'm like, I want to see it again. Okay, like, I don't know how to say this without being, like,

It's not that I think they look bad. No. I think lip filler looks good. If someone gets lip filler, I think it looks good. I think Alexia looks good. I think if her friends got lip filler, they would slay. Yeah. I like how your lips look. Yeah. No. I mean, I just know I'm going to look back maybe when I'm older and not really needing to do shit like that anymore. I'm going to be like, Sam, you should have just stayed with your natural...

Your natural self. That's something my mom always says to me. Like, she's probably listening to this right now. Like, Sam, I fucking told you. Like, yeah, I know, Mom. Slowly but surely working out of getting my lip filler. Because I got them dissolved in, like, February and started over. And I just figured, oh, like, I'll just start over. Like, whatever. And then I got my lips done. And now it's February to November. And I'm like, fuck, I should have just said no and just stuck with the lip flip. But to be fair, too, you got lip filler because, like, a lot of online stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

And I feel like when you're influenced through something that had nothing to do with you. Yeah. When I moved, like it was a big people talking about your lips online. The unsymmetricness, not like the how small they were. Yeah. But like, I just feel like the lips like online was like a big thing of you talking about. And I was like, what's wrong with your lips? Yeah. Yeah.

I guess. I don't know. I'm going to say just because it's kind of expensive. It is expensive, but it's for the year, year and a half. It lasts a long time. I'm just saying in the sense of like we have like college people. Our audience is very much college based in it. When I was in college, I wasn't even thinking about getting any of this type of stuff. So like that's what my headspace is at when I'm like giving the advice to anyone. Okay. Well, then if I'm in college, like I'm saying like none of this is like, like, you know.

I think times are just different now. I know. I would say a lot of it like none of this is worth it. Like if you don't have a lot of money because it's all expensive. But like it. Yeah. None of it's necessary. So I say worth it. It's like if you are thinking about it. Yeah. Different opinions. OK. Maybe you'll say Botox. Botox.

Worth it. See, I'm going to say not worth it for how young some people start getting it. Yeah. Like, people are like 18 years old getting Botox. Yeah. The fuck? You just have to be... See, this is a procedure that can get taken out of hand. Like...

Like, people will really, like, start to get addicted to it. And as long as you don't get like that... Like, for me, for example, like, I'm, like... I'm been almost three and a half months. You're supposed to go every three months. Like, I'm gonna probably work into, like, maybe four or five months between getting my forehead done again. Just because, like, I don't feel the need to. But, like, some people will literally go, like, every two months and then just, like, aggressively get it done to the point where, like, their face doesn't fucking move. Yeah. So...

I can see that getting out of hand, but I mean, as long as you're smart with it, I don't see that. Yeah, I don't have any Botox right now. I've got jaw Botox, but that's long since gone. That was like a long ass time ago. That was like over a year ago. Like long since gone. And I have nothing else because I don't have an area where I think I need it. So I just wouldn't even know where to start going. Something that I think the internet can make me want to do is everyone always wants to come for my eyebrows, even though my eyebrows were like...

my favorite thing ever and everyone's like why are you always arching your eyebrows so much even though it's just how they look you know how it like can mess with the shape of your eyebrows I'm like should I get Botox in my forehead to make my eyebrows less arched because TikTok says that my eyebrows are too arched even though I'm just out here existing yeah

I don't know. I mean, it's not that I... If you got... If you wanted them to be pushed down, you would get it, like, right here. Yeah, whatever. Get it wherever to get them pushed down. But then I'm like, no, I'm not going to do it for the internet. Yeah. But I just don't... I don't move my forehead a lot. You don't. So I don't...

I've never known where I would want it. My skin though, dude, before getting Botox, like the wrinkles I had in my fucking forehead and like obviously I didn't have a skincare routine at all either so it didn't help and my skin was just always so dry but like the fine lines in my forehead that I had were insane. I literally looked like I was like fucking 45 years old. Yeah. This next one is any type of getting your hair colored. I'm going to say not worth it.

I think any sort of bleach on your hair or color. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like permanent color. Like permanent color or bleach. Like I love like doing my hair in the moment. I don't like regret doing my hair. But like I said, if you got a budget and you're trying to stick something, just don't do it. Like just don't do it. You don't need to do it. There's no fucking reason. Yeah. Like no fucking stick to your natural color. Just stick to your natural color. There's just like.

It's fun in the moment. Like I said, unlimited funds, big ball. Like, big ball. Not even though because it's not worth it when your hair is fucking fried and dead and you can't grow it. Okay, but if you do it for a short period of time, like I didn't bleach my hair for that long. My hair is growing out

thick and healthy as fuck like you grow out all the bleach like the bleach is almost out of my head like when my hair when I went blonde I literally had to chop my hair to my shoulders like my bleach is almost gone so definitely go to someone that knows what they're doing but I just think overall like just expensive coloring on your hair and up want something that you have to upkeep yeah that was my thing with the blonde was the upkeep was going all the time and it has to if you don't go it's gonna look like shit like I don't like no I don't want to deal

So I'm going to say not worth it. Like, not worth putting permanent color or bleach on your hair. Yeah, like, I won't touch my roots. Unless I'm gray. And I hope that doesn't happen anytime soon. I'm not going to put... Once my hair, it's almost all the way grown out of bleach, I'm going to stop doing... I'm literally just going to cut it. Yeah. I'm done putting chemicals on it until...

I get really bored. Sometimes you get bored and you want to change it. And like, I don't regret what I did to my hair. I just, it's not worth it. Yeah. I agree.

Wow, look at that agreement. I know. Look at us go. Okay, I'm going to go into another route. Nail art on your fingers. Getting like cool makeup. No, dude, it's stressing me out every fucking time. Never worth it. I never ended up liking it unless there's like this one specific person that you go to and you're always enjoying and then fucking do it. But like I just have never like actually walked out of there being like I'm obsessed with this. Never like like it or I like it and then

I hate it a week. I'm obsessed and then I hate it. Or I'm obsessed and then, oh my God, you went to the gym and you broke a nail. Okay, you just paid so much fucking money for this nail art and one just cracked in half or like you hate it. No. Especially nowadays, they make it so expensive. Okay, like back in the day, you could get almond and then switch to square and then it wouldn't be a charge. But now it's like, okay, you want to switch shape? We're charging you per finger. I'm like, what the fuck? It's not even switching shapes.

It's not even switching shapes. I go get like any manicure and I look at the screen and there is $5 for shape and file. Yeah. I'm sorry. Isn't that what a manicure is? Why are we getting charged extra? Yeah, that's what a refill is, bro. So don't file my nails? Like a manicure literally is shaping and filing your nails. That is the service. So I'm sorry. What is the $5 extra charge for shape and file? I'm not changing shape. I'm not going from like a crazy shape to a crazy shape. I'm just...

doing my nails you know what's also ridiculous too is the chrome remember when that was popping off over the summer and it was ten dollars a finger yeah so what i did is i just bought my own fucking chrome and i have my own gel machine so when i go home and if i really want chrome on the color that i got i will add it myself yeah but almost every single time i hate it yeah i hate what i get when i get a design i've asked for chrome and then it's not the right chrome yeah it looks fugly

And God forbid I speak up. I'm literally that person. It's like they can cut my finger off and I'd be like, it looks great. Yeah. It looks great. And all my cuticles are fucking ripped off. Thank you. There's like all the TikToks where it's like, I want long. And it's like, oh, or cut them to the skin. That's also. Yeah. That's so great. It's like, I want red. And it's like they start painting blue and you're like, that's great. That's great. Or when I'm like, OK, I'm going to do this. And then they're like, no, you're not. They're like, that's ugly. I'm like, what do you mean it's ugly? Yeah.

No, like, I mean, part of me understands when they're rude to me. No, because they just don't want to do it, though. No, no. They see something complicated and they're like, no, that's ugly. But sometimes I'm like, listen, this job looks like, seems like the biggest bitch. And I kind of get your attitude today. It doesn't look very fun. I'm like, I bet you're down horrendous. But sometimes I'm like, I'm just sitting here trying to be nice to you and you're being so mean. I know. They're literally just like coming for your throat. Yeah.

Yeah, it makes me so insecure. I'm like, I get it. Yeah. So yeah, nail art? No. The only thing that I will ever do is like French now. Yeah. But even sometimes then I get French and I'm like, dude, I know. And they're all unsymmetric and shit. I'm like, bro. Or you show them a picture of thick French and they give you thin or thin and they give you thick. And it's like, did you see how thick that French is? Why is my French thick?

hair thin. Dude, honestly, I think getting your nails done has to be the most complicated of them all. It's like psychological torture. Yeah, it really is. It really is. But gel pedicures. Oh, so worth it. So worth it.

You gotta get, go gel. You introduced me to the gel pedicure because I would just get the regular pedicure. But then that shit would just be gone within two weeks. My gel pedicure lasts me about a month and a half. A month. Yeah. Longer. When I, especially if you're a girly like me, I dance. Well, now you run. Like when you're on your feet like that doing shit, like.

My nail polish is like, fuck you. Like if I get normal nail polish and go to a dance class, it laughs at me. It's like, you're literally hilarious. I'm gone. And I'd always run into this issue. I would go on beach vacations for a week.

always want your nails done obviously because you're like gonna be like not wearing shoot like you want to get a pedicure and a manicure for vacation and i'd always when i was younger go through the struggle of i want a pedicure because i'm gonna be wearing sandals on the beach but i'm like one day in the fucking ocean water and in the sand my pedicure looks like shit yeah like all the time i'd be like so i don't even want to get a pedicure because i'm going to spend the day in the ocean and it's all going to fucking come off and then i think that's maybe when i first got a gel pedicure and i was like would

this is fucking crazy. I was like, this is the greatest thing ever. And it's just one of those things where you're like, wow, now you can't look back. Not to mention, you can just put your shoes on when you leave. You don't have to wait for your toes to dry. You know what's another amazing thing too, if you don't want to like spend all the extra money, is literally just a polish change on your toes. Like if you want to go and get in and out and you want to get both, like I went with...

I made my boyfriend come with me. Well, not made him, but like he wanted to come. So like we both want to get a pedicure. I got a polish change on the bottom and then I got my nails done. Which is great, but I will also say I think paying for an extra long pedicure, which I might do this week while I work, also worth it.

Yeah. I love working at a pedicure. That is worth it only if you're only getting your toes done though. Only if you're only getting your toes done. Yeah, like you can't, if you're doing like the nails and the polish change on the toes, like that's worth it, but you can't do the both. Yeah. I'd be there for like four hours. Yeah, no, but like working and like letting them go to town, bring your laptop, bring a book. Amazing. Yeah. But gel pedicures, definitely worth it. A lash lift.

I think it goes away. It goes away within like a week and a half. I'm going to say not worth it. It goes away so fast. If you have like an event or a vacation that you're going on and you literally know you're not going to want to wear makeup like to the beach or something, then it's worth it. Yeah, I would agree. But if you're literally just getting it to get it done, it's not worth it. Because they're cheap. It's like 70 something dollars. And then with tip, it's like around $100 depending on who you're going to. So like in that sense, I can see it being worth it every now and then for the occasion. When I go...

On like a week long trip. In like I don't know. You don't want to. Yeah. Maybe I'll get a lash lift. Exactly. I would agree. I did it right before I went over the summer to Aruba. Yeah.

Or no, where the fuck did I go? Bermuda. Aruba. No, Bahamas. Bahamas. Bro, what the fuck my brain? So and I got one done like right before that. And I was like, this is perfect. I literally didn't wear makeup at all, like on the beach or anything until like nighttime when I was going out to dinner. Yeah, I think that's a good thing. Like when you have something special, like before your wedding and your honeymoon, you know, get a lash lift. Like, but...

Yeah, I think day to day. I wasn't sure if we were going to agree on that, but I was like, this is so cute. I'll be honest. The only reason I get it is because it's free. Like the girl that here in Austin, like she invites me out every now and then to get it. That's why I got content. Like I literally have never actually paid for one. I got mine because it was free. And I was like, this is cute. And three days later, I was like, I think it's gone. Yeah. A brow lamination. For someone like myself with brows that are already like pretty, like

tough and like stay no I do love getting them I do love getting them but I just don't think it's worth it I don't think it's worth it either my brows are very stubborn they're hard to move around with a brush because they're thick and coarse and they're hard to move and I will say I got a brow lamination they don't

I think I had a misconception of what it was. Like, because when you get it, you look like crazy. I think people think they like stay up. Like mine didn't stay up. They don't. You still need to gel them. You still need to gel them.

And they did make it easier to gel. They make it easier to gel. So like my brows are really stubborn to gel. And right after I had it, they would gel very easily compared to now where I kind of have to like get in there because it's gone now. So it makes it easier to gel, but you still have to gel them. I think a lot of people think you're leaving with your brows kind of up and your brows are staying up. Yeah. Yeah.

I think that's what people think. That's what I used to think. And then I've seen people be like, I'm kind of scared of getting one. I feel like I'm going to look crazy. They don't stay up like that. No.

One thing I will give some advice on this because I've been like in my like eyebrow era this year is that if you want to get the same effect of getting a brow lamination, literally all you need to do is glue them every single day so that your hair start to train to stay in shape in that direction. So like someone like yourself who has like hard time like getting them to style and stay like literally just do them every single day, even if you're not doing anything for the day because it will train your brows really.

your eyebrow hairs to like stay in that spot. And then it makes it so much easier down the road when you're styling them. Because now like it takes me two seconds. Whereas before it would take me like a little bit longer, like getting them to like stay where they are. But now it just takes me two seconds because I think they're just like been glued for so long that they naturally just grow back.

So cool. Yeah. And I use the got to be glue. It's literally my favorite. I use the hair gel. By the way, you can use hair gel on your eyebrows. You can buy a big thing of hair gel and use it on your eyebrows. You don't have to buy eyebrow gel. You could just buy hair gel. I don't like that. I have never found an eyebrow gel.

gel thing that has ever worked for my eyebrows i have i which one the anastasia brow freeze see i bought that and it didn't work for me i don't know i like it yeah it's just not like strong enough and like thick enough that that one works for me the best really but i like would leave it open and stuff and then it like got dry um so that's my bad but um but yeah it's the only one that like really really works for me you have to use like you gotta like

in there like hard with your hands. Next is facials. I'm going to say worth it for my acne gals going to someone to have them do your face.

Is so worth it. I showed sam a picture of my skin the other day the first time I went to my esthetician Versus the last time and I went there when I was breaking out I told her i'm like, oh my god My skin is so bad right now And then she sent me a side by side of my first time going and my last time going and she was like, holy shit And it's hard to see difference day to day because it takes a long time when you're dealing with

Like I've had acne and bad skin like my entire fucking life is not going to change in a month if I've had it for all these years. So it's not going to change in a month. And she was like, holy fuck. And the side to side difference was so noticeable. But day to day, it's hard for me to see. But I was like, oh, holy fuck. Oh, it looks so much better. So going to get facials, if you have like problems with your skin,

Is really beneficial but go to someone who actually knows what they're doing because if you have problems with your skin like just getting like trendy facials for the heck of it is not going to help you like go to someone that knows what they're doing. Yeah I was going to say exactly that like if you're going to get facials for like a custom reason rather than just going for like the shits and giggles.

of it, it's not really that worth it. Unless like I, my mom will bring me every year for my birthday. So just a tradition with my mom, we'll go get facials, like whatever. That's just something we do. But like at the end of the day, if you're just doing that on yourself and you're not really doing it for like an event, then it's not worth it. Um, but I will say in the whole scheme of facials, what is worth it is getting derma, derma, derma, yeah, professionally getting derma planning. I used to do it myself and I was not like just,

I thought I was buying like real good razors, which I mean, they are technically on Amazon and it just, it does not hit the same. It's the angles they can get. It's the angles they can get. And like, I'm still waiting to do it. My esthetician, I think next time we'll do it on me. Yeah. Um, cause when you dermaplane, you like spread, if you have active acne, you're spreading the bacteria all over your face. So this whole time I'm going, she hasn't been doing it on me. So I only can do it.

In the areas I don't break out, like on my sideburns, on like my mustache, above my eyebrows, like where I'm not breaking out. But I can't wait. She's like, maybe like next time you come, we'll dermaplane. I'm like, get it. Like literally the first day I sat down, I'm like, can we dermaplane? She's like, no. And I was like, why? And she was like, it's just not good for you right now. So when she said like, maybe next time, like I'll give you a dermaplaning. I was like, really? No, I love it. I love getting it because...

There's so much fucking... I can feel a layer of shit coming off my face when they do it. It just feels so good. And even... It takes off the dead skin. It takes off the layers of shit 100%. I also just don't like having hair on my face. Me neither. I don't like the look of having hair on my face. I don't like body hair on myself. That was just one thing about me. Take it off. So...

I'm all for getting all the hair removed on my face. And it's like, it is kind of expensive. Like, it's been around, like, $50. I've gone to a few different places and gotten an ad onto my facial. And every single place has been around, like, $50. And I'm doing it once a month, so. And you don't even have to do it, like, once a month. If you want to, like, do it once a month, then maybe the next month you touch it up at home. And then the next month you go. Like, you can make it work. Like, you can...

you can fit it all in and still like feel good about yourself for what you're getting and like make your own thing of how often you go. Yeah. That was my whole list. Oh girl, I got so many more. I mean, go, well, I actually wanted to add on one that we both just did. Yeah, what is it? The talks. Yeah, lymphatic drainage. Yep, I was going to say that. That was fucking crazy. 100% worth it. If like, I'm telling you, like if I'm doing like

Like, my bachelorette in Mexico. Like, I don't know. Like, some, like, important beach trip. You bet your fucking ass I'm going there and getting every single thing drained out of me. Y'all, the way my six-pack look after this lymphatic drainage massage was stupid. Stupid. Yeah, so... I have been doing a lymphatic drainage massage for, I think...

three or four consecutive months ever since the constipation issue and it is dude guys it is so good for your like bowel movements your digestive system like i feel so much better actually like now overall but like especially right after getting it done so if you're someone that struggles with your digestive issues bowel movement like recommend going once a month it was

Life-changing. It was life-changing. Yeah. I do really like going to the talks. There are locations in a bunch of other cities. But if you don't have something like that, I have a membership at this place called Sway Spa up north. And I go there once a month. I have a membership with them where I can get either a facial or a massage once a month. And so, yeah, I've been just switching off with both of those. Yeah, I would 100% say worth it. I also got a deep tissue massage once.

The other month, which isn't really beauty. That was just for function. But like massages. Massage. I can't say that word. Massages. Mm-hmm. Feel so good. They really do. They feel so good. Yeah. I haven't done an actual muscle massage in a while just because ever since getting the lymphatic one, I've been just on it. I'm like, I just want to keep going. I'm actually going next Monday. But regular massages are fucking fantastic. That deep tissue one, like, ugh.

Yeah. It felt so good. And I feel so loose and good after. Dude, I probably fucking need that right now. And it hurts. But it hurts so good. Yeah. You know? It's like, oh God. I don't know if this is considered a part of beauty. Throw it out there. But I was going to say piercings.

Not really. No? Okay. Because I was going to say, like, I kind of wanted to go on a rant about, like, my studs that I've been getting the past year. A good one? Or a bad one? Like, just, like, a bad, like, bad. Bad rant? Yeah, like, I don't think going to studs is worth it. Oh, okay.

Is that a hot take? Yeah. Really? I think so. I think so. Not that people say it is worth it, but like Studs just like works with a lot of influencers and they're big influencer things. Oh, I know. I went and worked with them. I know. That's why I'm saying like that's why I think it's a hot take because it's a very like... I think it's a brand a lot of influencers wouldn't say is not worth it. Yeah. Well, okay. So I have gone...

five piercings from them and they're so fucking expensive like you know i don't you don't need to go there to get your piercing you can get a piercing at claire's literally and the reason i say this is because this one on the top here on my what is this my left ear

Got infected and I let it close up. And like, I just regret it so bad letting it close up and just taking the earring out because that was like a $250 piercing. The piercing itself is like $100. And then the like stud I got was like another like $100. I'm like, I just spent all that money just for it to fucking close and then go all through that pain of getting it done.

no you got to go to a tattoo shop and they have deals yeah you can get deals on piercings i got my belly button pierced at a tattoo shop because they were doing there was this place in miami that was doing a promotion that they were doing free piercings if you followed them on instagram you just had to pay for the jewelry like they're doing like a promo because the jewelry is what cost the money because you have to get like

You can't put like fake crap jewelry in a new piercing. It has to be like nice jewelry. So that's what costs money. Piercing it takes four seconds. That doesn't cost them money. It takes one second. So...

Yeah, I was like, oh my god, I'm getting my belly button pierced and then just did it because they were doing whatever fucking promo. Yeah. I think you had to like share something on your story maybe. I don't know, but I was like, hell yeah. I think I went to, yeah, I went to a tattoo shop for my belly button piercing. Yeah, so go to a tattoo shop. One, I think, well studs is probably good, but tattoo shops are very clean and well done. Yeah. And like good. Especially if you've gotten a tattoo from them before. Especially if you're supposed to do cartilage with a needle, not a gun. Yeah.

um so like a tattoo shop will do it with a needle i don't know if studs did it with a needle everything was needle yeah okay yeah so you're supposed to do the needle not a gun um but you can just go to a tattoo shop yeah also how are we totally forgetting laser hair removal and bikinis i was gonna bring that up because you do laser hair yeah so i do laser hair removal on my brazilian and my armpits and i think it is so fucking worth it i'm gonna have to start doing it i've yet to start doing it um

I don't see why it like wouldn't be worth it. In terms of Brazilians, if getting laser hair removal isn't something that's like in your budget right now or like

whatever not something you want to do right now is laser hair removal I don't think continuous Brazilians are worth it I think again it could be like a special occasion thing like if I have a week where I want to be like in a bathing suit like looking really smooth as ever um I might get a Brazilian like I'll probably start doing laser at some point I just don't have issues shaving so it hasn't been top of mind for me to get laser because shaving doesn't really bother me um I do not think Brazilians hurt literally at all like

all. I sit there on my phone talking to my therapist. Like if you feel my face getting a Brazilian, it does not hurt. It maybe was a little bit like the first time every single time after that was did not hurt at all. But it's like the

It's expensive to go a lot. Yeah. And so I have been going maybe a little bit under a year now, I think. But people are, no, people are always like, oh my God, it's fucking expensive. No, not where I go. SavLaser, $100 for the entire. Yep, $50 down there and $50 up here. For every single session. For every session. Spend $100. Wait, so not a session. All like eight sessions are $50. Yeah.

I go every eight weeks and it's $100. So you did $800? Yeah. That's kind of expensive. Not really. How much was it when we were getting our waxes just for... I think the packaging I spent for...

Like nine sessions was like $500 or something. Yeah, no, I think they're both expensive. Like I think they're both expensive. This is like an investment though because my hair is eventually never going to grow back. Yeah, but people say it does. I don't know, dude. Some of my spots on my cooch down there, it don't grow. Like people say that it does grow back.

Eventually. Like, that is not permanent and then it will grow back. We'll see. I'm a walking experiment. We'll have to see. Yeah, but keep us updated. It's 10 progress days. Yeah, right? Before and afters. You get a bikini or Brazilian? Brazilian. They put the laser in your butt crack? Oh, yeah. It doesn't hurt. No, I mean... The butt hurt doesn't hurt at all. The butt crack is the easiest spot. Yeah. The little clitoris is the worst part. Dude, I'm not even kidding. Cool.

That's how it is when you get waxed too. Yeah. This is the most painful part. But I worked up from going every four weeks because when you first start, they'll do like a lighter laser just for like the pain of it. They want you to work up to higher intense laser. Now my laser is more intense where I literally don't have to go for another nine weeks.

And I could push it out more if I wanted to, but they say, like, for right now, try not to, so that way I can eventually just, like, kill all of my fucking hair cells. I saw one girl on TikTok that got, like, burned by the laser and has, like, scars down her legs of the laser. Interesting. Yeah, no, it scarred me for life. I mean, I don't get it in any visible spots, so. So true. So. Scarred up coochie? Imagine. Imagine.

Only one person would ever see that. I was going to say, you have a boyfriend, so, I mean, he's already locked in. Yeah. He's locked in for real. But armpits is nice because I always would forget to, like, shave my armpits. If I'm going to go do one, I'm going to go do armpits because I'm always forgetting. They grow back so fast. Like, I just always have armpit hair. Like, you know, it just, like, never fully goes away. Or...

The idea of like, like Monet is always waxing her armpits at home. And like, I love her wax videos. I'm like, I want to do it. Yeah, but the thought of, for the one thing I didn't like about waxing is you have to let it grow out. Walking around with a fucking bush. In the winter though, for armpits, it's kind of easy. Don't justify it. No, I'm saying it's easier to let it grow out. So like four months out of the year? No, I'm saying like in the winter though, it's semi-easy if you want to just like wax it. But yeah, no, I don't think it's worth it to rely on waxing.

As your hair removal But I do think if like You just want a one off of it And you want like There's a certain thing You want it smooth for Like waxing will do you right And it doesn't hurt Yeah but then you're just gonna Get obsessed with it Like that's the thing with me Is like oh Like I was like Oh let me try it I'll do a few sessions Cause they Originally like they invited me out To do it at that other place For waxing And that's why I went And I was like Oh my god I love this Yeah I was like obsessed with it Being that bare Oh my god Bare cooch Yeah

But like I feel like I mean like I shave pretty like fine. Yeah. That's like all I could

think of that i do on the on the rag yeah i don't know i'm trying to like look at myself right now yeah oh i shaved my arms i think that's worth it oh yeah well i know we're going on a random tangent right now things we do at home yeah yeah at home i do yeah shaving your arms like it's normal people will i will call like all the time people are like you shave your arms i'm like that's fucking normal what's so normal um because look i don't care what you do on your body

Do you I fucking hate body hair. I want it off. If you gave me a pill that would take every single hair below my head, like not my eyelashes and eyebrows, I would take it. I don't want any hair. Like I hate it. Like I shave like my hands, my fingers. I take it all off. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you were like step in this machine and every single piece of body hair is gone. Dude, that would be sick. I'm in. I wish I could be like one of those girls that was like, I don't care because my life would be easier. Yeah. No, it must go.

So, yeah, I shave my arms and everyone's like, if you shave your arms, it's going to go back thicker. That's not how hair works. And also like, yeah, that never happened. That's not how hair works. People think that because it's shorter. So it's like stubbly. That's not how hair works. Like, I'm sick of that theory. Yeah. Like if you were to let it grow back out nice and long again, it wouldn't be thick stub, not even stubbly, like two inch stubs. No, I'm big fan of shaving my arms. I have, I have hairy arms like naturally. Yeah.

So it's a big insecurity of mine because one time in high school, someone said like my friend overheard someone looking at my Instagram saying she's really pretty, but her arms are so hairy.

And ever since that moment, I've been insecure. Dude, I started shaving my arms in elementary school. Okay, do you have trauma you need to talk about? Dude, yes. I started shaving them in college. Or like it was a fourth grade, so it was almost going into middle school. I was in college. Why'd you do that? Because a girlfriend at the time made fun of me saying I was a boy for my hairy arms. And I was kind of a tomboy like when I was little. Well, I started waxing my eyebrows when I was eight.

Oh. Because I have a unibrow. By yourself? No, my aunt owns a salon. Oh. Or my mom would do it too with like wax from like the store. But I grow a unibrow. Yeah. If I let it go, like I was born with a unibrow, I will have one eyebrow across my face. And one time my cousins were like, dude, you're like, huh? No.

The way you're talking about body hair makes it seem like growing. I do. I do. So I have a unibrow and like one time my cousins were like, why do you have one eyebrow instead of two? And I was like, I have two eyebrows. And they were like,

but you don't i was like i literally you're on crack like i was like what are you even saying and then i was like you're so right no i'm kind of looking at it and then um yeah i'd get it waxed like just right down the middle um since i was young and i tell people that and they're kind of shocked i'm like i wasn't getting in them like shaped up you know it's like we were

Going in there just right down the middle. Just so I didn't have a unibrow. Yeah. And honestly, like, I would do the same. Like, I feel like it was good for me to not have a unibrow all the time. Yeah. I think it was a good decision on my mom's part to take the wax to my forehead. I also never used, like, wax or shaved at first. I used the NAR stuff. Nair. Nair. NAR. Nair.

Nar. The fucking troll on fucking Reddit right now. She can't fucking speak. She has no vocabulary. Like, fuck off. It's just funny because Nar is like, oh, Nar. Oh, Nar. Fuck, I used Nar. I never used that. Yeah. I used it. That's when my mom handed me. It's so funny that I can picture you being like seven years old. Like, fuck.

No, I would sit in the bathtub and my mom handed me the fucking gnar. She goes, here, Sam. I go, what do I do with it? Because I was so too young to handle a razor. I was way too young to handle a razor. When did you shave your legs for the first time? Way after my arms. I think mine was going to the Katy Perry movie in theaters. Dude, I don't even remember my legs. Oh, no, I gnarred my legs. What am I kidding? No, I gnarred my legs. Why do you keep saying gnar?

What is it? Nared? Okay, nared. Part of me, Katy Perry. Dude, I nared my legs. No, nared sounds so much better. Are you sure? I shaved my legs. It's nared. I shaved my legs in fifth grade. I'm in 2012 because it was when I was getting ready to go see the Katy Perry movie. Something came over me and was like, I need you.

I just remember standing in my bathroom tub with gnar all over my legs and arms just standing there naked like you have to let it sit there for like five minutes and then it starts to burn and tingle and you're just like oh and then you step into the shower and it just starts pouring off oh my god you have to use like this little scrubby sponge to like scrub it off and you get like hairballs in the gutter or the gutter what am I saying drain

Nasty. Dude, I'm not even kidding. I literally gnarled myself. Maybe I should start doing that. Yeah. It fucking stings though. I hate it. You can't gnar. Oh my God. Imagine that would be so painful.

That would be so painful. One time I wanted to shave like my stomach like right here. I always shave. No, I do now. But like when I first like the very first time I wanted to do it, I was like, I'm going to fuck this up and it's going to grow up. It's going to grow back like a man's fucking happy trail. TPT to the happy trail. Dude, yeah. No, I'm dating the happy trail.

fuck sorry boyfriend anyways so yeah i like remember just sitting there contemplating i'm like if i do this right now like it's gonna grow up it's gonna grow back and i'm gonna look like a man but then i did it and ever since the rest has been history nice yeah i shaved that too i'm telling you actually if my razor if i can reach my razor to the area it's getting shaved like there's in the shower with shaving cream all over her body except her face

No, and my face. And her face. I need to like dermaplane my face. I need from my forehead to my fucking toes because we all shave your toes. Dude, what's that character in that movie that's like really hairy? Chewbacca? Yeah. You shave your toes. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. At a pedicure, there should be, they should, that should be part of the treatment. They use like the dermaplane razor. Get it nice in there.

That would be sick. Do you ever sometimes accidentally forget to shave your ankle? There's just like one piece of hair. I'm always forgetting to shave like this inside of my knee. I just need foot to shave. Dude, the back of my ankle sometimes will have like a long hair. I'm like, oh my god. So embarrassing. Sticking out of my back. Wait, what? Wait, what?

It was like clear. It was like white. Wait, you had a long what? Hair on my back and it was like clear white. Oh, really? My brother Zach gets a really long back hair all the time and he'll always ask me to plug it for him. And he's like, oh, do you see that one hair back there? I'm like, no, I don't. I have a picture of it because it was my ex-boyfriend found it.

He was like, you have a hair on your back? I was like, what do you mean? You have a picture of it? I think so. How long ago did this happen? Not that long ago. I don't know if I'm going to be finding it while we podcast. Damn, that's crazy. I was like, wait, well, because you have a hair on your back. And I was like, well, I have to see. That's crazy. Some people do have some pretty crazy hair stories. Yeah.

I saw this one girl on TikTok that has like this one long eyelash hair. Have you seen her? It like nobody like it hangs down and she just leaves it. Interesting. That's why she's like so popular on TikTok because every video she makes people like are in the comment section just talking about it. That's so interesting. Oh boy. I love having the giggles.

I just hope my boyfriend doesn't listen to this episode. I hope my ex-boyfriend doesn't listen to this. He's gonna think I'm disgusting. Anyways. Go buy some gnar. I'm delusional. Me too. I think I need to go for a walk. I'm gonna go soak myself in some gnar. I'm gonna go shave every inch of my body.

Oh, fuck. Yeah. All right. Well, we hope you guys liked this episode. Obviously, this is our fucking opinions on shit of things that we've done. So don't take it too personal. They know that by now. Yeah. Good. Bye, guys.

Sometime in the early 80s, REO Speedwagon's airplane made an unannounced middle-of-the-night landing. This is my friend Kyle McLaughlin, the star of Twin Peaks. And he's telling me about how he discovered a real-life Twin Peaks in rural North Carolina, not far from where he filmed Blue Velvet. What was on the plane was copious amounts of drugs coming in from South America. Supposedly, Pablo Escobar went looking for other spots, quiet, out-of-the-way places to bring in his cocaine.

My name is Joshua Davis, and I'm an investigative reporter. Kyle and I talk all the time about the strange things we come across, but nothing was quite as strange as what we found in Varnumtown, North Carolina. There's crooked cops, brother against brother. Everyone's got a story to tell, but does the truth even exist? Welcome to Varnumtown. Varnumtown is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
