I can't freaking talk. Welcome back to another episode. Glad you're here joining us again. Yes, and if you guys know, from the YouTube, if you guys are subscribed to the YouTube and checking out the channel, we are currently sitting in new chairs.

Fun. Yeah. Very fun. So we had our little pink rolling chairs and we still have velvet pink chairs, but they're hot pink and they're big and they're adorable and they're comfy. I get to sit nice and cool now. Yeah.

But I hope you guys are ready for a really good episode. We are obviously going to be doing that new segment where we kind of do an intro, cover a few things, get a little bit more organized with it, and then we're going to move way into our topic, which if you're here for the topic, that's great. If you don't want to hear the intro, that's fine. There is going to be a timestamp down below, so you can check that out and just jump right to the segment. Today we're going to do favorites, so we're going to talk all things. We're going to do pretty much every category there is, all of our favorite things, and

fitness lifestyle makeup stuff all the things so definitely listening for that it's a really really fun time it's things we talk about in our instagram story kind of a lot yes like but now we're talking about on the podcast yeah but a little housekeeping before that if you listen to this early in the morning you can still buy merch if you're a if you're an early morning listener it's like 7 a.m you're going to work you can still buy merch for a few more hours

If you're listening on the weekend, later in the day, I'm so sorry you missed it. But if you're up and at them, 6, 7 a.m. on a Friday morning listening, or maybe midnight when it came out, maybe you're listening at 1 in the morning, you still have time. Yes. And the future male pad is essential. Oh, it's a hit.

We were on the lake wearing them and out. I wore them literally out to bars. Everyone was asking where we got the hats and we were like, we make them. And then we realized we can't say that. We should probably say we sell them. Yeah. Because people are going to be like, how the heck did you make that? Like, did you sew it yourself? Literally. Literally.

But yeah, so early morning listeners, you can still get your hands on it. And another really exciting thing is that this podcast is now with Podcast One. It is really exciting. Big steps for us. Big steps. So we now have like a whole team and a whole network and like such good people. And it's really exciting. Yeah. Feels more organized too. Like we definitely like

do a lot. It's hard to balance everything. So now that we have like a team of people that can help us manage the podcast and get more organized with it, better audio, you know the deal. So I hope you guys enjoy from here on out. It's gonna be a good time. Yeah, we're really, really excited. It's just like Sam said, like help the audio. We get like good, like we're gonna have really cool guests like soon. Like it's a, it's really cool. It's really exciting. So many little things and it's been in the works for a little bit. Yeah, it's definitely been like

kind of a long process to transition. I know you guys have been like, "guests, guests, guests," but we're like, "wait until we transfer over," but we didn't want to tell you guys that just because like we were kind of keeping it on like a little bit on the down low, but yeah for sure guests will be coming and they will be great and I'm really excited for it because there's a lot of different types of guests that I want to have on. Yeah, super exciting. So those are kind of the big things for us right now in the podcast and stuff. And then let's get into the fun stuff. Yes.

I'd say my favorite thing to talk about every single day is a little weekend recap. Yeah, the weekend recap is my favorite, honestly, because we have so much fun. We have such a busy week, and I'm not going to lie, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, craziness. I feel like I'm trying to juggle so much so that when the weekend comes around, I'm like, let's go.

And this past weekend was a good time. We had a pregame at our apartment. Yes, we hosted a little pregame. That's right. We made friends. And you know what, guys? I really hate this. I hate to say it, but I feel like Taylor and I, and maybe a few of you guys listening, and honestly, hopefully majority of you listening, I have come to the realization we're like the only people that where we say a certain time, we show up at that certain time. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I was like, so we told all our friends. We're like, okay, 8.30. No one was showing up until like 9, 9.30. Besides our good friend Lori. She showed up right on the dot, right at 8.30. Or no, 7.30. Because I told her early. Because we're like, hey, come a little bit early. And she did. Yeah, she did. And I was like, there we go. There we go. Love it. You deserve a marg, straight to the face. Let's go. We love that. We love showing up. So I'm like,

I told the boys too. I was like, you know what? I'm going to start inviting you guys at 7.30 and expecting you to get here at 8.30 because...

what the heck yeah i mean i honestly thought the time like flied i didn't even realize they were that late till you're saying it now well because i was the one that was like texting everyone and i'm like i was asking like like hutch for instance i was like where are you like why are you not here yet he's like oh i'm at the bar i'm like what yeah yeah but we were like you know what f it like we're just we have like random friends that we meet at like random places but it's really hard to make just a friend group where everyone knows each other yeah and i would call it like post-grad life obviously i didn't like

but I'm like out of college and everyone else is like just graduated from college. And it's like, there's no just like little friend groups. Like everyone's just meeting everyone. So we just took it upon ourself to be like, you know what? We're merging all our friends. And do we barely know those people? Yes. But we should...

Yeah. We got to try. It's funny, though, because I feel like we've definitely made that transition into being more friends with people that don't do social media. I was so fixated on like, oh, my God, my friends need to be doing social media. That's just going to make my life easier when I'm hanging out with them and vlogging and stuff. No. Big time, no. I'm done being with social media friends or friends with people on social media. I'm sick of it because you don't ever know someone's genuine intentions with it.

And they could ghost you like never talk to you again after like what, after they get what they want out of it. And it's, it sucks. It's hard. We've learned quite a bit on this journey of like trying to find friends. Um,

So, yeah. Yeah. But it was really nice. It was a really good time. We just did our usual. We brought them all to Takeru Mojo. Oh, yeah. We brought... There was like, how many boys? Six? Yeah, like six. Six boys. And they were like, we don't want to go there. Like, why would we go there? We're like, nope. We're going to get pick marks. Like, you're coming with us. And one of the guys, he was like...

Can I get a frozen drink? Like, you gotta be kidding me. Yeah, they ordered frozen drinks. Frozen drinks. I was like, you guys are so, like, I love it. Like, you're in with it. But, mango margs for all. Yes.

And I'm not even kidding. Like, there are so many of you listening to this that have DM'd me being like, what do I do when I go to, like, Austin or whatever? First of all, Facebook group, plug in that because there is a PDF that I created with all of our favorite spots, whether it's gyms, taco places, breakfast spots, smoothie spots. Like, literally everything is right there. So check that out. But to Kira Muchos, I'm going to plug you because I love you. Everyone needs to go there. You need to experience it because when we talk about it, you need to understand, like, what we're saying. I do.

And then with that same group of people, hear us out. Like Sam said, people committing to what they say they're going to do is so rare. It happens almost every single time. Plans falling through, the amount of times. Yeah, the amount it's like, let's do this. No, never. Never going to answer. They just don't answer. They don't show up. You never talk to them again. We were all a little drunk at night. Back at the apartment, it's like, let's have a pool barbecue tomorrow.

every single time i've made plans like that like doesn't happen it happened literally and everyone was like on time yeah there was a group chat let's go everyone was on time and we went to the pool and barbecued by the pool and i was like that that's my instant way of knowing if i think i could be friends with people because when people are so flaky on plans it literally gives me anxiety it's my biggest pet peeve like if you're always late or like messing things up no yeah so i was like

This brings me joy. No, I totally agree. I cannot stand it. And I'm so excited. I know we're doing weekend recap, but I'm so excited for the next weekend because we're going on a boat. So you'll hear all about that. Yeah. And it's actually, it's funny when we meet people because they're like, what do you do? And we're like a podcast because like, hello, you come over to our place for the first time and there's this whole podcast studio in the corner. Yeah. It's like, yeah, we do a podcast. We're like, well, we'll talk about you guys actually. Yeah. Because we talk about the weekend. So yeah, we'll talk about.

you yeah congratulations you're a star yeah you're a star so funny but yeah that was pretty pretty fun and honestly i'm not gonna lie like i didn't think i was gonna get myself to get up and actually go to a barbecue by a pool the next morning because i was so drunk that night and i woke up so hungover but i pulled it together and you guys know the deal sweet greens hungover ritual every sunday i'm really hungover i get sweet greens because it's so good it cleanses the soul

It really does. Nothing like a $16 salad. I know. It's so bad. Oh, also, I was going through the thing, like ordering my salad, which if you guys want to write this down, this is my order. I get kale and quinoa, custom bowl, and then I do sweet potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots. And as I'm going into the protein section, he's like, I just want to warn you right now, like this is extra.

And I'm like, I thought he meant it in terms of like extra, extra. Like I already know I'm paying for the protein, but I thought he was saying it in terms of like... You're being extra? No, no. Like I'm being charged even more than the regular amount of protein. I was like so confused. I was like, what do you mean extra? He's like, oh, protein is just like extra. I'm like...

No, I know that. In what kind of salad places every single protein extra money? But like, protein should just be included. Yeah. No, it's stupid. And then if you get extra, that's when it's extra. Yeah. No, 100%. He confused the crap out of me. I was like, I get it. And then, oh, sorry, I'll finish the order too. I get medium hot sauce and medium Caesar salad.

And then mixy mixy and it's like a buffalo chicken Caesar salad. So good. I love it. See, I like sweet green salads, but here's my complaint. They don't have cups and they don't have water. You have to ask for a cup. They don't have cups. Yeah, they did. The lady in front of me got a cup and went over to the little fountain thing. Then they haven't had cups in a while. I have asked for a cup every single time they've been and they say, no, we don't have. So they must have just finished their cup shortage. Every single time I've never had a cup.

Yeah. I don't know. But it was good. And all I can say is that it literally does the job. Something about like, like I try to stay healthy on my like food choices when I'm like hungover, but like, like spicy and just like mouthwatering. Oh my God. So good.

And oats. Well, I haven't been having oats. I've been having cream of rice every morning. I've been having oatmeal with no protein powder and it's delicious. So good. But yeah, that was pretty much the weekend. And then we do our grocery shopping. We've been spending a lot of money at Whole Foods buying a lot of fun things. So that's really fun. In the Arctic Zero, bro.

Yeah.

She walks to it like quite a bit and I was like, okay, you know what? Like last week we walked to it. First time I didn't check the price because I was like not really. I just assumed it was cheap. Yeah, who cares? The next time we go, it's what is it? Seven or eight dollars? Eight dollars of freaking pint of ice cream. I was like, you got to be kidding me. And the thing is I'm going to eat the entire thing of ice cream because it's only 160 calories.

Like why would I only have half of it? No, yeah, it's so expensive. So it's like one serving of ice cream is $8. And I can't find it anywhere else. And you know what? Tonight at Delights is buy two, get one free. And I'm going. I'm getting my Delights. Must be nice. We also in that same store bought a bottle of Sprite for $8. A two liter bottle of Sprite for $8. Yep.

I was very disappointed. Are we kidding? Are we literally kidding? But it's so convenient. It is, guys, it's 0.4 miles away. Yeah, but it's like triple the price for every single thing in there and it's actually absurd. But, you know, they're making their coin. Yeah. Good for them. Yeah. Great for them. Good for you, lady. Good for you. Let's move our way. Let's segue into the pets. Is that what we're doing next? Yeah. So, guys, I already know that. I'm going to say it right now.

For our pet of the week, because if you don't know, we live with a puppy and a little kitten. It is not Phineas.

Mac did okay. He did okay. Phineas got poop on my bed. Okay. Phineas escaped twice. Yeah, he did escape twice. Okay. One the other day. One literally 20 minutes ago. Wakes me up by just biting the living shit out of me. So. Backtracking to the pregame. Literally an hour before the pregame, Mac would not listen to me. And I was so stressed out as is because we had the pregame. People were coming over. He hid under my bed for like 10 minutes.

like 10 minutes and I was trying to get him to get out of my room and he wouldn't listen to me and he was hiding under my bed and I got so frustrated because I was like I can't reach you you're like so small and you're under my bed and you're in the middle of my bed I have a king-size bed so I can't even like reach that far in and it's pretty low to the ground so low to the ground like I can only get my like I can get my shoulder under yeah and I was like freaking out I was like screaming I was like Matt get like I don't want to scream into the mic but I'm like Matt get out like get out like I was so close to flipping my bed over and grabbing him and putting him into the crate because like

I forget what he did. He did something that like pissed. Oh, he pooped. I think he pooped. I can't remember what it was. He did something and I was like so mad and he was just hiding under my bed and I'm like, you know what? I need to put like a barricade around the under my bed because they both go under there and if I need to get them out, I just can't. Speaking. Okay. Since we just talked about

you being in a bad mood about mac we forgot a whole part of our weekend what was it losing our freaking paddle on the water that was so bad yeah how did you guys because we were thinking of like the fun i was thinking about night time yeah we need to backtrack okay this was hilarious we're vibing we're chilling we're in our future milf hat everyone loves the hat everyone loves the hat like

We're having a great time. We're literally taking pictures of everyone wearing the hat. I have like 50 photos of strangers wearing the hat. Yeah. We're having a blast. Mid having a blast, I look at Sam sitting on her paddleboard and I'm like, there's no paddle on the paddleboard.

And I'm like thinking to myself, I'm like, oh, we must have just lost it. Because we kind of migrated a little bit into the center. I look at my photos of all the people I took of wearing the hat. And our paddleboard's like in the photos. And I'm like, this whole time our paddle has not been on that board. And for context, to get to where we were, we parked...

I would say half a mile paddle away. Yeah. A far paddle. Like maybe a mile. A far paddle. Like you need a paddle to get back. You can't like kick. You can't like spot your, you can't like. A far paddle. So we had no other option. So we were like, what the fuck do we do? And our friends are like, take someone else's. And we're like, no. But a lot of them are rented and we parked at the place they're rented at.

So we're like, if someone has an extra one, why can't they give it to us? Like, you only really need two to get back. Let's say, I mean, you only really need one to get back, one paddle. Yeah. Let's say someone rented two paddles with their one paddle board. If someone would just give us their other one because we're going to the rental spot. So the rental spot would happily get the paddle back. No paddle would be missing. We'd drop it right off where it belongs. Yeah.

But no, we couldn't find anyone to do that. And all of our friends were like, someone took yours. So just take someone else's. But no, one, we're scaredy cats and I do not have the balls. And two, I just, I'd feel too bad. I'm not doing that. I'm not taking someone's stuff. But we couldn't find anyone to do it. So we get out. There's a little entrance close to where we, all the paddle boards are, a little entrance. So we're like, we're going to kick all the way over there and then get out and figure it out.

So we scooter all the way around Zilker Park. Okay? Big park. All the way around to the car. With just bikinis on. In just bikinis. Because we leave our clothes in the car. Because why are we going to bring our clothes on the paddleboard? We're going to take off our shirt and get right in the water. Just bikinis. Okay? Busy road. Busy road.

The paddleboard is deflated and rolled up in between my feet. I'm holding on for dear life with this paddleboard in between my knees. It fells out like two times. It's the biggest shit show of my life. So we're pissed. No, we're also pissed about something that our friend did. Yeah, we're also pissed because our friend was being fake. Yeah, so fake. So fake. Like...

The type of person that hits you up and then pretends they don't know you. And then you see them out and you're like, wait, didn't we have plans to like meet out? What? So Sam's already pissed. I was a little pissed, but Sam was like extra pissed. I was extra pissed because I was the one FaceTiming him. She was livid. I was kind of like, what can you do? But Sam was pissed. Some are driving back fucking annoyed as hell. And then that's why...

Sam was extra mad that Macro pooped. And we're like, look, we have guests coming over, so we need to forget this happened and get it together or else. Oh, yeah. And then Phineas kept crying, too. I think now I remember everything that was going on. And Phineas was crying. Did you come out, steal Phineas, and bring him to your room? I think so. Yeah, you did. Because I was screaming. I don't know. But that, okay, so that puts it all into context. Hope you enjoyed that little story. But anyways, going back to the animals.

I say my pet of the week is Matt because Phineas was pissing me off. He also has this bad habit. They both stunk today. My towels. His new thing is pulling them off the rack and having them on the floor. So I walk into my bathroom and my like shower towel. He likes the bathrooms.

He went into my bathroom, too. I don't know if this was, like, the beginning of, like, past week, but, like, I went into my bathroom, and it was, like, wet. And then my tree thing that's on top of my toilet was on the ground. And I'm like, did Phineas, like... Yeah, that's weird, because he doesn't, like, do that in my bathroom. I know. I was like, did Phineas, like, splash, like, water around in my bathroom? He's been very interested in the sink. And then, like, okay, my face towel is on a ring, and on the ground is the litter box. Today, go in. He knocked it off into the litter box. Okay.

Like, come on, man. But yeah. This just sounds like we hate our animals. We love them. I know. We love our animals. But I'll give Macro Pet of the Week. I mean, he's been doing really good with staying out. So I have not put him in his crate when we're gone. Like, quite a bit. I've let him just hang out. He just hops onto the couch and just takes a nap. And then we get back. He hasn't gone potty in the house when we're gone. What? Yeah. He hasn't gone potty. But he does it while we're home. And the door's open. Yeah. Yeah. Which is like... Almost worse. Yeah. Like, what? I feel like he's being like...

Fuck you guys. No, seriously. Whatever. So into the fitness updates, I am loving the cut results so far. Like I already know, I think I said it last week that I've kind of hit a plateau with like seeing results, but I think I'm getting my period next week. So after my period, I'm going to notice like some really good results and I'm going to be like, okay, I'm like pretty set on like where I feel. Obviously I could keep going, but like in terms of like

more cardio and less food. I don't really know if I want to dig myself any deeper. Yeah. Agreed. One thing, one part about me that I'm like, okay, the progress is my leg definition. Like I'll like, I just see more lines in my quads. Like I like see like the full like outline of my quad when I flex in the mirror. And I'm like, okay, like that's nice. Like I really like how my legs look when I felt myself doing like a lunge or a squat, like the division, like the line in my quad is so prominent. So I'm really into that.

Big into that. My abs are coming back, which is fun. Yeah. But yeah, I've been liking it. I'm really content with where my food is. I'm content with how my lifts are. Like...

I still feel, like, strong as shit. Yeah. I honestly... Another thing in terms of food, too, is that you guys will notice on my YouTube videos, I didn't really, like, say this, but, like, I'm kind of transitioning into, like, eating more or less dairy. I don't think I will ever get myself to, like, be completely dairy-free, but I'm going to eat less of it. And it's pretty easy with, like, cheese alternatives. Like, every single cheese you can think of, you can change. Yogurt, you can change as well, but I'm just kind of struggling at the moment to find, like, a good yogurt that I like.

And then delights. I'm sorry. I just don't think I can give up delights. Maybe. I think you would like the yogurts that I got. Yeah, maybe. I'll try them next week. You said they're just high in fat for your macros. Yeah. But they're good. Yeah. I mean, we'll see. They're pretty good. So I've just been changing that up. And then, I mean, I've been loving all the foods I've been eating. It's just been a struggle to like,

Like I'm enjoying a lot of like heavier foods in the beginning of the day and I think I just need to balance it out, which I think I'm doing a better job at it because like I'm definitely not used to eating like this low amount of food, which again, guys, like it's not under like 2000 calories. Like it's pretty like it's a decent amount of food still. So yeah, yeah.

but it's been good yeah i've been liking it i just feel like i'm getting in all my like veggies and like i feel i feel good i feel great um i'm probably gonna finish out this month see where i'm at and i can either continue into june or not continue into june maybe a little bit into june still with the cut and then not track we'll see i don't have a set date on it um

So I still don't know it just like depends but yeah, I'm getting just like lazy with putting the food in my phone That's like I'm just so lazy with doing it But I've just been loving my workouts recently like that's one thing like I just feel so strong cuz I'm like following program Well, the both of us are following a program. Yeah, I'm different one But it just feels so nice to like accomplish like things and like feel so strong like

That feels so good. Yeah. And I think it's because like also it's hard to just go in with like even when you have a plan like on your own. I like having a program that tells me like what number I should hit because then I have like a standard rather than like just going off my own like, oh, I guess that was good. Yeah. Agreed. So I've been really liking that. And our lifetime membership is pretty fun, too. Yeah, it is. It's very convenient with the cardio. Yeah, it's very convenient. Yeah.

And Lift ATX needs to bump up its game with the cardio machines. They took both of their Stairmasters out, so right now they only have two working treadmills. Brutal. Two. Yeah, so we've been going to lift and then doing our cardio at Lifetime, and it's a good time. Yeah. It's a good time. But that's pretty much it for...

For the chit chat, I kind of have a lot of things written down for these favorites. Do you? I didn't write a single thing down and I'm just going to go with the flow. You didn't write anything down? I didn't have time to. Oh my God. We can just go into it. I know things are going to come to head. Okay. Well, the first category I have written down is beauty favorites and I have a lot. First thing, I'll actually, should I put these two together? I'll put them together.

So the Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. I've heard everyone who's everybody, like everyone talks about these on social media. They're in a cute little pink bottle. They smell like watermelon and they're like for under your makeup or I guess just like skincare, but people put them under their makeup and it makes it really like glowy and pretty. So amazing. It makes everything look so glowy and pretty. I love it. I love it so much and they smell so good. And then for foundation on top of that. So that plus the Makeup Forever HD Skin Foundation is

You can get those two things at Sephora, not Ulta. They don't have them at Ulta, only Sephora. So good. The foundation's a little bit expensive. It's not like the most expensive foundation in the store, but it's definitely a little pricey. I think it's like $48. I don't know, something like that. So good. It's so light. Like it doesn't feel thick on your face at all. And I don't really like foundation, but I like that one.

The color I got matches me so good. And when I put those on top of each other, it just looks like really dewy and natural rather than like a cakey layer of foundation. So I really like it. I'm kind of glad I spent the money on it. I think it works really, really well. It's like the perfect amount of like coverage and stuff, but still being like dewy and really pretty. So I highly recommend those two things. You can get them both at Sephora. My turn. So I guess...

I'll put two things together too because I cannot go without these things. I feel like I use them almost every day just because I love the like, it brightens up my face and that's obviously gonna be the concealer, the Laura Mercier concealer and the setting powder. The two of them together are amazing. I love them. I've been, so I watched Emma McDonald's YouTube video on her makeup routine and I feel like in a sense like I can like kind of

I don't know what it is like her. I don't know if it's the structure of her face or something, but I feel like I can definitely pull off like her makeup routine. But what she does with the concealer is she puts the concealer down, but then she takes the setting powder and she uses her sponge and she presses it in there, but doesn't completely like put it in, like smooth it out. So that way it's like, you know, looks like it's set. She leaves it there while she does the rest of her makeup and then finishes off with the brush to, um,

what's the word i'm looking for like let's take it off yeah like take it off and oh my goodness guys it it literally mats your face so well like not your face but like your under eye so well and brightens it up i think i'm using currently for the concealer the w2 i was using the w or the 1.5 w for the concealer and i bumped it up to a little bit of a warmer tone just because it's summer now and i'm a little bit tanner and i didn't want my ass to be like

Mind your eyes to be like super, you know, white and like you could tell. But so the 1.5 and the 2W are the two that I've been using. And then for the setting powder, I think I'm using the honey flavor now. And I really like that one.

You know, it's funny. It sounds like makeup, like you didn't like watch the makeup people or do makeup before that. That's called baking. Baking. I love it. That's like a, yeah. People always ask me too. They're like, can you do a makeup routine? I'm like, no, let me learn first. I'm still learning. That was like big. I mean, like people still do it obviously, but people do it more like right now. I'm sure it's like less like people used to do it. Like,

like load up powder like everywhere but now like it's like less but yeah that's called baking yeah she was like she said too hi i'm emma mcdonald you don't listen to this podcast but like hi you know what it is it's the you can do her makeup routine it's the boston features yeah no yeah right she does like a nice like nike swoop like under her face with like the sponge and then just leaves it i'm like yeah i love it i love doing it

Okay. My next one is a hair product. It is the same. It is the Pureology purple shampoo. So I used to use purple shampoo, like from the drugstore. I think it was like L'Oreal. And I was like, I feel like this doesn't make a difference. This one makes a difference. I definitely feel like my hair is definitely more cool toned after I use it more kind of, you know, it takes away the orange. I really think it works. I use it once a week. I really noticed a difference. I really think it

Makes a difference on the brassiness of my hair compared to the other one I was using I see a drastic difference I've literally only used it twice, but I think it actually makes a difference Um again a little bit expensive, but it's actually a pretty small bottle It's not as expensive as like the full bottles of their shampoo because it's like smaller And it probably lasts me a pretty long time. So don't have to use it Like it's not something you're using every single time you shower. I don't even use it every single time I wash my hair so

It'll probably last. And I think it made a really big difference. If you want a purple shampoo that actually is going to like help your blonde. I really like that one. Yeah. I also am using Pureology. I use the light purple bottle. It's for like thinner hair, colored thinner hair. And I really enjoy it.

But my hair product that I've been loving and you guys have been wanting a hair tutorial I will definitely give you guys that soon but kind of tell you what I do is I take my straightener to curl my hair and I pull the straightener I curl my hair, but then pull my hair down. I don't pull my hair away from my face. I pull my hair down and After when I'm done guys the product y'all need to make your hair so texturized and

Beachy lovely waves and it stays so well for a very long time is going to be the beach club volume texture spray I got this from rachel gill our friend. She is also with raw gear. She lives up in dallas She brought it to la when we were on a trip and I used it once and I was like, holy shit I need this product. So literally when we got home I ordered it and I use it every single time I do my hair It is amazing and then all you have to do is spray it a few times and like the top layers of your hair and then literally just take your fingers and like

Like run through your hair. And it literally makes such a big difference. I need to learn how to curl my hair with the straightener. I still don't know how to do it. My hair curls horribly. That's the only way I know how to do it. My hair curls so bad. Yeah. Another hair product is...

on my list and it is Olaplex 9. It's like a serum. It's called like a something protector serum, but it's like number nine. I put that on after I wash my hair and before I use my Revlon dryer on it. And I think it makes my hair so nice and smooth looking and

And, like, protects from the heat. And I just really like the difference it makes when I put that on when I blow dry it versus nothing and I blow dry it. I don't have much else to say besides that. I just think it makes your hair blow dry really smooth. So, that's pretty much it. I also got that at Sephora. I don't really have any other, like, favorites that I've been, like, using in terms of, like, beauty, to be honest. Oh, I got two more. I need to get better at it. So, I went and got facial guys last week. And I'm, like, slowly learning what I need to be doing. I...

skincare routine don't have one I don't have one it's perfect who cares no but I want one because like who knows what like I it could get better like I could be more glowy more like my face could be more tight like if you want to be more glowy I got you the stuff I use works well for okay then okay me my next two I

I'll go quick. ColourPop lip oil. Really nice. Little lip glossy things. I don't even think of lip stuff. Okay, I can say one after. Really lip glossy things. Love them. Cute colors. They're like $6 Ulta or online. They're so cheap. You should get them in like every color. I love them. Okay, well then mine is going to be Morphe. If you guys are on my YouTuber Snapchat, you already know. The Morphe lip kits are my absolute favorite thing.

And what you can do, if you go to the Morphe store, in-store, they have pretty much like every color, like in a lip kit.

Um, but if not, you can just go to like alta or no Yeah, alta does have it or sephora and you can just get like a mix of a few different like colors But I would definitely recommend if you're gonna get it get the lip gloss. Don't get the lipstick I love the lip gloss with the lip liner I use that and then I put a nice lip gloss like a clear gloss over that. Oh my goodness Your lips will pop and I can't remember the name the color I use off the top of my head Starts with an e It'll maybe come to mind

My last one are Patchology eye patches. I love these. I get them at Ulta in like little packs. They sell them in a few places though. I think they also had them at the Morphe store. They have them literally everywhere.

I love them before I'm going to go out and do my makeup or on like a hungover morning. Before you do your makeup, they will make your under eyes just so nice and pretty. And then if it's like a hungover, slow morning, you just want to be relaxed. They feel really nice. They're really cold. They feel amazing. I love them so much. They make me just feel like self-care queen. But specifically right before my makeup, I think they make you look really awake and pretty. And I'm a big fan.

They have like different kinds. I've had their like original ones and they have like a, I think it's called like champagne. It's like supposed to be like bubbly. Like I don't really notice the difference personally. I don't know what the difference is, but I like them all. I think they're great. Interesting. Yeah. I love them.

All right. Should we move next on to food? Yes, ma'am. All right. I'm down for it. You can go first. Okay. Number one, Upton Naturals. I'm pretty sure that's a brand. Seitan. The stuff we buy, the chorizo. So good. Oh, yes. Seitan chorizo. Absolutely amazing. If you watch my grocery haul, if you watch both of our full days of eatings, amazing macros, 10 out of 10. Good taste.

that's great. Yeah. I don't know the brand for the one that I'm going to say in that it kind of goes with like that Upton chorizo is going to be those

soft street corn tortillas those things are amazing they're super generic brand i can't remember the name of the brand but if you go to like mission what is it like mission oh yeah it is mission yeah and it there's a street corn you got to make sure you're getting the street corn ones they're literally so small like they're the size of your palm and i had like six of them and each taco is like two bites oh my god you get like every ounce of flavor with that corn tortilla oh so good

I'm so sad I'm out of them. Sam's like freaking out right now. I'm literally like my mouth is watering. She was eating tacos yesterday on regular corn tortillas and she was like I wish these were the regular ones. I know. I literally said that. I was like I wish these were the regular ones because bigger tortillas are so much harder to eat because the things are just falling out of it with the smaller ones. It's just two bites and you're done. Whereas like a bigger taco you have to like hold it for a while. You can't put that shit down. If there's a hill Sam will die on it is that. Yeah.

The small street corn tortillas. Literally. Are the move. My next two are drinks. I'm going to mix them together. Morning caffeine choices. Matcha latte. Okay. With vanilla. Matcha latte with vanilla syrup.

Or hot coffee in my Nespresso. Those are my morning drinks of choice. Oh my God, I would love a matcha right now. Oh my God. Matcha is so good. If you think you don't like matcha, in high school I thought I didn't like matcha. You do. You need to give it a real chance. It's so good. I don't even know how to explain how it tastes. If you're wondering what it tastes like, don't know how to explain it.

I see a lot of people make matcha with a whisk and all that. And like, that's really cool. But if you're like, I don't know how to do that. Trader Joe's sells little packets of matcha, very similar to a packet of like crystal light, like a little packet of like powder, but it's matcha powder. Mix it in some water, ice, milk, vanilla syrup. Amazing. And then hot coffee and my Nespresso with frothed creamer.

Yeah. I mean, it's not bad. I wouldn't prefer it every day. I honestly haven't been having like too much caffeine lately. I don't know why it's been like making me super anxious, but my go-to is the Taya coffee. Okay.

I wish I had more of it. I ran out, but that stuff is so good. It's so convenient. Like you get a whole bottle of it and there's about like 20 servings in it and it's a concentrate. So you just mix it with like even some, or not even amount of water. That's a lie. Don't do even amount of water. That'd be bad. It'd be like an espresso shot. Do like a full cup of water. I don't know, like 12 ounces. And then you do a serving of their concentrate and you just have like a nice like

iced coffee, but I like to put in some, you know, sugar-free syrup, the RX sugar-free syrup, bomb.com, get that stuff, okay? But,

Taya Coffee or Taya Coffee. T-A-Y-A. I know I did like a paid ad brand with them and I sent it in and I said their brand wrong and I can't remember if it's Taya or Taya now. One of the two. Because they confused the crap out of me. You'll find it. They're based out of Austin, which is cool too. So if you are listening and you are from Texas, support your local business. We love that.

Dope. Big coffee, girls. You know what's about caffeine making you anxious? Starbucks coffee has been making me anxious. But coffee at home, well, actually, the other day, coffee at home did make me anxious. But when I get a Starbucks after we're, like, drinking or something, it really freaks me out. Really? Yeah. I don't know why. But anyways, my next food. These two food items, it's like you can definitely tell I'm cutting. Fruit, but in particular, watermelon. I love watermelon.

When I have watermelon in the fridge, I regret not buying 10 packs of it. And all I want right now is there to be watermelon in the fridge and there's not. So it's so random. But watermelon. Watermelon's so good. When we were going to our little barbecue, I was like, let's bring a watermelon. And we forgot to bring it. Yeah, we did. We forgot to buy one. But watermelon is so good. Elite summer fruit and mango. Watermelon and mango tied for elite summer fruits. But like something about watermelon, like when you're like really hot, it's like so refreshing. Yeah.

oh my god i could die thinking about it like tahine yeah my next up one is going to be joseph's bread joseph's bread guys is a brand but they have a lavish bread and then they also have pita bread and let me tell you guys if you're not on these already you need to be on them i feel like if you're

if you're like really deep into like the fitness like content and like other people like everyone uses them greg doucette for me was the one that like greg doucette pushes these hard yeah so they the lavish the lavish ones are like wraps so you can make burritos with them you could make anything with them but they are 120 calories and there's about 12 grams of protein which is crazy and then the pitas the pitas are pretty big i would say they're like

I don't know, like eight inches around? They're like a small plate. You know how in your house you have a big plate and a small plate? Yeah. They're like the size of a small plate. Yeah. So there's 60 calories with six grams of protein. Period. And that's insane. So I've been loving those. Yesterday, not going to lie, had it twice. I had one for lunch and I had one for dinner. Can never go wrong. I knew you were going to put those. I almost put those, but I knew you were going to put those. Yeah. We love Joseph and Dave in this house. So the thing is with those, for us locally-

We have to go to walmart to get them and we don't shop at walmart like ever So like I have to go out of my way to go to walmart. We should get those we should amazon them They're so expensive on amazon. Oh, they are i'm pretty sure you're like I looked yeah No, don't worry. I looked because I told my mom once I was like mom They're all out of my lavish bread. I was on like face time with her She's like you should like you should amazon them and i'm like no I looked at the prices of them I was like, there's no chance of my amazon. No Um my next food

It's funny because these two for me are just like foods, like not brands. Yeah. They're just like a type of food. Cucumbers. You're fucking weird. You're so weird. I'm...

I'm completely and utterly addicted to cucumbers. And then, funny story, yesterday I'm trying to eat my freaking cucumbers. I'm like, where are they? Like, where are they? Like, they're not in the fridge. I put them in the goddamn freezer. So, they've been sitting out all day and I hope they're, like, normal. They're definitely not the same now. Why? Like, when you freeze things, especially something like that, it's going to be, like, super watery on the inside. Look, I'm going to give it a shot. If not, Sam's going to throw them in her juicer. Yeah, sure. But it...

So good. Such a good cutting snack. Oh my God. You guys need to get on like cucumber with salt. I, I was like trying to think of like brands and stuff, but I was like, honestly, my biggest favorite. I can keep hitting you guys with brands. Huh? Primal's kitchen Buffalo sauce. That's been your favorite for like a year. I know guys. I could literally pour that shit into my mouth and bathe in it. Like I love that Buffalo sauce. It's so good. Yeah. Like if you were on death row and they were like, what's your last meal? You'd be like,

A bowl of buffalo sauce. Street corn tortillas covered in buffalo sauce. I would lay on it like it was a nice slippery... I gotta stop.

Oh my god, there's it's so good and I do it with everything else like either put it on a salad like oh my god I'm kind of psychotic. I put it on salads. I put it on tacos. I put it on Sandwiches wraps your chicken broccoli potato dinner. I dip it into things. I use it for everything everything Everything I can confirm. I'm not swattering. She does use it for everything That was all my food. Yeah, that can be mine. Okay, but yeah, i'm telling you guys I was like, let's think of brands and I was like

My favorite right now is cucumbers. Specifically mini ones, too, by the way, guys. Little ones. Little tiny ones. Okay. Those are so funny. My favorites are watermelon and cucumber. Those are like almost the same food. They're like 90% water. Okay, guys.

Fitness next topic Workout things all mine all things gym I want to say right now and you guys are probably going to assume this because it's all i've ever been posting is back squat I know you're gonna say that back squat. I've been so loving it I just feel so empowering like knowing that i'm more confident putting on heavier weight on my back which keep in mind guys My squat's not strong by any means like you can look at like someone like amanda beck and you're gonna see her with like three plates period and

and then you look at someone like me and i'm not doing that we were sam was squatting and like sam squat is like good right she had like a good job right and i'm like you know what's crazy i was like amanda beck squats this for like 10 yeah i know like don't remind me tell me that right now i'm trying to do it for one i'm like i'm just saying like really impressive you got that for three i don't know if i could have done that but you want to know something crazy i'm like fuck okay

But yeah, no, back squat has been crazy. I knew you were going to say that. And I was going to put bench, but I feel like you guys know I like bench, but I put hack squats. I really like hack squats recently, but here's my issue. The two gyms we go to don't have hack squats I like that much. Thank God tomorrow we're going to a different gym that's really good like day machine. So they'll have a hack squat I like, but when it's because there's so many different types of hack squats and some of them just like don't like them.

So when I go to a gym with a hack squat that I like, oh, game over. I love it. Yeah. Like, but so I'm really excited to go to that gym and do hack squats because I think they're really fun and I wish I could do them more. I'm going to say an upper body one and that is going to be lat raises every single upper body day because now I'm doing, okay, so I'm doing a push day,

a pull day and then a full upper body day. So like the push day and then the full upper body day, I'm doing lat raises and I'm doing like drop sets of it. I love it. I, the burn I get from those and the contraction is just amazing. Yeah. I like lateral raises too. I only do them once a week though. I don't have an upper body exercise on here. Um, anything shoulders, but, um,

This one is not a surprise and it's reading doing cardio. You guys already know that's my favorite, but some of you might not. You might not be up to date on the Instagram stories. It is the best way to make cardio pass by. Thank God.

It's almost time for a new book. I've been bookless for about a week because I haven't finished, and the book club needs a new book in the Facebook page. If you didn't know, you can read the same book as everyone and be held accountable, and it's really fun. But reading on the treadmill makes the time pass like nobody's business. 20 minutes incline walking while reading a book might as well be five minutes. You read four chapters, you're done. It's the greatest thing in the whole entire world. Maybe not four chapters. I don't know how much time it actually is. But

It's just the best thing ever. And I'm just going to give a little disclaimer. When I say read and walk, do not walk outside. Do not walk on the sidewalk. I've had someone tag me being like, look, I'm reading and walking. And they're on like a sidewalk. And I'm like, you're going to get hit by a car. Please stop doing that. So treadmill only and preferably not the Stairmaster because I feel like you're going to fall off of it. So a nice walk on the treadmill. Greatest thing in the whole entire world. My favorite way to do cardio.

Yeah, I don't really have anything else in terms of fitness, to be honest. Okay, I have one more. Amazon athletic wear. I have it in my Amazon shop. Great. Amazon active wear. The Amazon active wear I've got literally beats, like, high, like, name brands that I've tried on. It's my favorite thing in the whole entire world. So do your research on Amazon athletic wear and...

i'd recommend ordering so that's mine yeah i mean i'll say um athlete amplify shorts y'all already know i think it's like honestly like one of the only pairs of shorts i wear um i have them in shorts good every color so that's fine shorts okay last topic random i mean it's just called lifestyle but it's basically just everything else do you have anything you want to say or random i don't have anything written down so i'm gonna have to wait until you go okay

Mine's a TV show for lifestyle and it's Survivor. I freaking love Survivor. It actually comes on today because today's Wednesday, so that's fun. I'll watch it tomorrow, record it. It is such a good show. I would love to actually go on it, but I don't think I'm built for that because they just made the show harder and they like don't get food and I'm way too hungry for that. So I don't know if I could do it, but it'd be a dream to go on that show. It's such a good show. I love it so much. If you're watching the current season of Survivor, DM me. Who do you want to win?

My current favorites right now, I'm rooting for Omar and I'm rooting for, I literally can't think of her name for the life of me right now, but the blonde girl. Totally blanking on her name. Rooting for them. If you watch Survivor, please DM me. Tell me who you want to win.

But those are my two picks for winner of a million dollars. Great show. Brings me so much joy. It's like nostalgic for me. It takes me back because I watch it with my family every single season since I was like a literal infant. So yeah, that's my favorite. I have absolutely no idea if this counts or not, but...

my like lifestyle thing that i've been doing every single damn day is taking macro on a one mile walk in the morning oh that can't i absolutely love that it's like my favorite part of the day he gets so excited i literally he's come to the point where which i said this like probably two months ago i was like i want mac to come to the point where like i'm going to grab the leash and he knows what's going on he knows he fucking knows so when i go in the morning like i'll do like my whole like skincare like whatever routine like change all that stuff and

And then once he sees me walking over to the leash and grab it, he goes freaking a wire. He's like crying. He's like, like jumping up and down. I'm like, calm down. But I love it. And then I get nice fresh air. But that's like my like favorite thing of the day.

Because it's too hot to walk here, at least, like any other time of the day. I would say a step foot outside around like 7, 7.15, depending on the morning. And weather-wise, I can do it. But if you were going to tell me to do it at like 7, 7.15 at night, I'm not doing it. Yeah. I might go an afternoon walk today. That's why I haven't showered yet. Yeah. Because I know I'm going to sweat balls. Yeah.

I guess another lifestyle one I can say too is this is a brand is going to be beginning boutique guys. I've been loving their stuff. Oh, she bought the whole store. I literally ordered the whole store. I ordered three different times from them. She goes, do you want to see what I got? Pulls out like 50 hangers. I was like, whoa. And then yesterday, guess what was at our front door? Another bout. Yep. I bought so many shirts. Their shirts are so cheap. They're like,

Not like so cheap, but like anywhere from like $20 to like $40. And like they're like decent ass quality. Like they fit me so right. I've like had issues. Like obviously I love Princess Polly. Don't get me wrong. I wear Princess Polly stuff all the time. But Beginning Boutique fits me perfectly.

Perfectly. I don't know what it is. So I've been loving their stuff. I wear a size Australian 8 and they don't have like discount codes. Like they don't really do that for some reason which kind of sucks. So if you go onto like YouTube and you find someone that posted a haul, their haul code is only active for like 24 hours. So just be on the lookout for a code. Yeah, you can look it up. I found like you can just Google it and it should come up. Mine, the one that I used,

Recently was SLAY20, all caps, SLAY20. You could try it. It's the one I use for 20% off. So my next favorite is also clothing.

Low rise. Specifically, the low rise jean skirt I got from Garage. Cutest article of clothing that I've ever owned. I loved it so much. I can't wait to wear it again. It's like 100 degrees here in Austin every day and I think it's perfect. Low rise is so cute. I just love the skirt so much. I feel like a baddie in it and I love it and it's my favorite piece of clothing at the moment. I literally can't wait to wear it again. Next place I'm going, I'm wearing it. It is so nice for the hot weather. I'm going to wear it again.

jeans that little jean skirt little crop top such a fit you can dress it up dress it down love it amazing i was just gonna say garages like jeans i have one pair of jeans which again i don't know if that you had this issue with the skirt but they size weirdly because they go from like a one to a three to a five to a seven and

And I'm like in between sizes, the weirdest thing. But their jeans, this one pair fit me perfectly. Whereas I tried on the same exact size of another style of their jeans and it didn't fit me at all. But I got, I want to say it was like the baggy mom jean or something. But my favorite pair of jeans. And you'll see me wear them probably almost every time if I do go out wearing jeans. Yeah, they look cute. Yeah. My last lifestyle favorite is the future milfat. Yeah, that too.

It is. If you do social things near a body of water, the beach, a pool, a lake, that hat is so like we already said in the beginning when we talked about in the beginning, I was like, ah, this is my favorite. It is such a conversation starter. It is such a like friend topic. Everyone wants to talk about your hat. It's great. It's literally great. The color is adorable. The hot pink. Fantastic. Um,

Yeah. Like, literally any social event you have outside or, like, on the water, wear it. You're guaranteed to make a friend. Also, another one, actually, like, kind of two. One is going to be, like, concert tees. Those for summer are going to be, like, the go-to when it comes to, like, going on the lake or anything like that. They're on, like, a concert tee, vintage tee, whatever it is. My go-to has been from Forever 21. Those are, like,

18 max and they're pretty good quality yeah i got a few from sheen i got a miami one in florida one as if i'm a tourist but i'm not i'm from there but i like them and they make me feel like i'm literally like oh i visited miami like no i just live there but um i love them i love a big t-shirt too would have to agree oh my god and like button-ups yeah button-ups are nice button-ups love a button-up

That's everything I have right now. I know. That was pretty good. We talked for quite a bit about... I hope you guys weren't bored of us. No, I love this stuff. Listen, this is the best... Like, I'm obsessed with product. We could do this, like, every, like, three months or something. Whatever we want. You know, like, to update them with our faves. I'm obsessed with product recommendations.

Right now, all over my TikTok is Bethany Frankel. She's like a real housewife. She is the owner of Skinny Girl. So like Skinny Girl Margarita, Skinny Girl like dressing, like that's like her brand, whatever. That just gives context of who she is. But she does these makeup reviews. And mind you, this lady's like ripped.

Okay? But she does these drugstore makeup reviews and high-end makeup reviews, and she'll do drugstore products that are better than high-end makeup or drugstore products that aren't worth the money and high-end makeup that isn't worth the money. And she does all these really honest reviews super quick-fire. She's like, this? No. Doesn't work. This? Yeah. They're great. And...

I have no reason to trust her makeup knowledge, but I do. I trust everything she says. And recently, I just love product review people. I love it. I love hearing what people have to say. Yeah. So I want to tell you guys. I agree. I find it so interesting.

But those are all of our favorites and all the things that we have been loving so much. If you guys need visuals on this, links to this, we both have links highlight. A lot of it's there. A lot of it's always on our Instagram stories. A lot of it's in our YouTube videos. Most of this is in like every single YouTube video I've ever put up on my channel ever. Yeah. So you should definitely check those out. The links to all of that is down below, all over the Instagram, all over the Instagram stories. Yeah. That's basically that great way to find the visuals of all this stuff. And yeah.

You got anything else you want to say? No. I feel like we covered literally everything. Literally. And maybe within the next hour or so, I'm going to be like, oh, fuck, I wish I said that. But it's okay. Should have made a list. Oh, my God. Wait, one more.

Does this go under beauty? I don't know. The new brand of jewelry? Oh, the new brand. I almost put that on mine. Yeah. Georgiana? Georgiana, guys. Jewelry. The necklace I got is my favorite thing on our world. Kendra Scott, yeah. Like, she's nice. But I feel like everyone's really starting to wear that. And, like, it's just, like, it's always the same things. But Georgiana, Georgiana, whatever it's called...

jewelry. Yeah, I almost put that on mine. That's the last I could think of. That's it. That's it. So make sure to keep up so you see the finished studio and all the things. And with that, we'll see you in our next episode. Bye. Bye, guys. See you on Friday. Bye. Bye. Bye.
