00:00:27.414 --> 00:00:28.403
Hey friends.
00:00:28.434 --> 00:00:42.713
I just wanted to let you know there was it's it's Adina, by the way, there was an issue with my mic today when we did this recording and it cut in and out a little bit, the audio is still fine, but it is not that crispy, buttery gyst audio that you are used to.
00:00:42.923 --> 00:00:46.764
So we still wanted to get this episode out for you, but I am just warning you.
00:00:47.094 --> 00:00:50.753
There is a little difference in the sound of my voice today.
00:00:51.293 --> 00:00:51.834
All right.
00:00:52.043 --> 00:00:52.793
Enjoy the episode.
00:00:57.418 --> 00:01:05.459
Hello and welcome back to another episode of gyst on this black Friday coming to
00:01:05.542 --> 00:01:07.552
on this bonus episode,
00:01:07.679 --> 00:01:09.959
bonus, but then we won't be here next week.
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:10.588
So.
00:01:11.652 --> 00:01:12.061
spoiler.
00:01:12.703 --> 00:01:15.793
episode, but different day, Diane, what's up.
00:01:16.611 --> 00:01:16.762
Yeah.
00:01:16.762 --> 00:01:18.322
What day is it really?
00:01:18.471 --> 00:01:28.072
I mean, I'm not sure things are flying by, and I think that like many of us are a little checked out, ready to just get my Turkey day on.
00:01:28.072 --> 00:01:32.902
Watch the Macy's day parade with some coffee, getting my soft pants.
00:01:32.962 --> 00:01:33.382
What about you?
00:01:33.993 --> 00:01:34.983
I'm feeling excited.
00:01:34.983 --> 00:01:36.573
I'm feeling excited for all that.
00:01:37.144 --> 00:01:42.634
I'm also just Diane and I had such a hard time, like getting our act together for this episode because
00:01:42.951 --> 00:01:43.462
our shit
00:01:43.623 --> 00:01:51.453
getting our shit together because we're feeling loopy and in the clouds, like I imagine many of you are.
00:01:51.453 --> 00:01:56.944
So we decided that today we were just going to do a fun episode, our holiday gift guide
00:01:57.394 --> 00:02:10.443
we wanted to drop this on Friday because to wait until Tuesday, all those sales would be over and stores brands are starting earlier and earlier this year, I'm noticing that some of these holiday sales started at the beginning of November.
00:02:11.074 --> 00:02:15.123
So maybe you've already gotten into your holiday shopping for others yourselves.
00:02:15.334 --> 00:02:17.024
I know some people get really overwhelmed by.
00:02:17.868 --> 00:02:19.038
Black Friday emails.
00:02:19.038 --> 00:02:19.489
I do.
00:02:19.489 --> 00:02:21.618
I just kind of mass delete.
00:02:21.769 --> 00:02:22.158
Right.
00:02:22.429 --> 00:02:25.218
But I also at the same time think even Oprah likes a deal.
00:02:25.248 --> 00:02:25.669
Okay.
00:02:25.699 --> 00:02:33.558
So if you are also stumped on what to get people in your life, maybe you are also looking for some to upgrade some items in your own home.
00:02:33.889 --> 00:02:36.769
That's what we've sorted out for you in this bonus episode.
00:02:36.769 -->

00:02:39.979
So we hope that we're uncomplicating your holiday shopping.
00:02:39.986 --> 00:02:45.537
Yeah, the holidays are, this shopping season is so stressy for me.
00:02:45.717 --> 00:02:46.917
I just don't like it.
00:02:47.456 --> 00:02:47.967
I.
00:02:49.391 --> 00:03:05.921
Like to like sit down and organize my thoughts in a way where I can be like, this is what I actually want to spend money on right now, but then I'll be so stressed out because I'm like, is there something I'm going to need next week that I should have just like focused up and gotten the discount on, but I know a lot of people relate.
00:03:05.981 --> 00:03:06.252
Yeah.
00:03:06.282 --> 00:03:07.361
I know people relate on that.
00:03:07.361 --> 00:03:08.801
Cause I posted it on my stories today.
00:03:09.611 --> 00:03:13.632
I'm getting a lot of conversations going in the DMS about the way we feel about this week.
00:03:13.961 --> 00:03:16.812
So yeah, for me, it's, uh, it stresses me out.
00:03:16.812 --> 00:03:17.711
I don't really like it.
00:03:17.741 --> 00:03:21.372
I'm not a person who spends a lot of money on just stuff in
00:03:21.649 --> 00:03:22.549
Yeah, same.
00:03:22.752 --> 00:03:26.081
And so it just, the whole thing just stresses me out.
00:03:26.081 --> 00:03:28.211
Cause I feel like I don't want to participate in it.
00:03:28.211 --> 00:03:32.592
And then I'm like, am I going to need something next week and be like, why am I paying full price for this?
00:03:32.861 --> 00:03:33.611
So anyways,
00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:35.778
I feel you.
00:03:35.808 --> 00:03:37.758
And that was me last year.
00:03:37.758 --> 00:03:50.028
I try to get ahead of, or throughout the year in my bullet journal, have this spread in my bullet journal planner where I'll think of, oh, this is a great idea for, for Neil, a gift idea for my mom, so that I'm not feeling so overwhelmed.
00:03:50.028 --> 00:03:51.318
Come November.
00:03:51.859 --> 00:03:58.519
I know the men in my life will often wait until like second week of December for Christmas gifts.
00:03:58.519 --> 00:03:59.269
And that gives me.
00:04:00.109 --> 00:04:01.848
Sweaty stress.
00:04:01.848 --> 00:04:04.278
So stress, sweat that I don't want.
00:04:04.278 --> 00:04:07.489
So this year I tried to think of what are some big purchases that we're making for.
00:04:08.568 --> 00:04:13.278
So they're not necessarily like Christmas gifts, but we have some things that we've wanted to add to our home.
00:04:13.278 --> 00:04:18.559
And I was telling you, like, hold your horses, let's wait for these cyber sales or black Friday, whatever.
00:04:18.889 --> 00:04:20.059
And then it purchased them.
00:04:20.059 --> 00:04:23.658
So I know some people like to hate on all capitalism sales.
00:04:23.658 --> 00:04:24.139
Yes.
00:04:24.168 --> 00:04:24.769
Okay.
00:04:25.009 --> 00:04:27.439
But like I said, Oprah, likes a deal.
00:04:27.619 --> 00:04:29.269
Maybe there's some things that you need.
00:04:29.598 --> 00:04:33.528
And I think we've got some good ideas lined up for you.
00:04:33.798 --> 00:04:37.028
And we're going to focus on some health and wellness things, but also things for the home things for.
00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:42.244
Treat yourself, my gift giving MOS to like buy a couple of gifts and then one from me,
00:04:44.307 --> 00:04:44.637
With you
00:04:44.704 --> 00:04:45.963
but intentional things.
00:04:45.963 --> 00:04:47.103
I don't like stuff either.
00:04:47.103 --> 00:04:48.903
I don't like fast fashion.
00:04:48.963 --> 00:04:52.863
And I also want to know it's important to support local where you can.
00:04:52.863 --> 00:04:54.483
So we are going to weave that in here.
00:04:54.963 --> 00:04:59.343
Um, I think most places tell me if this is true for you out in New Jersey.
00:04:59.463 --> 00:05:01.473
Uh, there's a small business Saturday.
00:05:01.473 --> 00:05:02.824
That's a national thing, right?
00:05:03.963 --> 00:05:05.153
So that's coming.
00:05:06.004 --> 00:05:07.173
I think in the next week or so.
00:05:07.173 --> 00:05:18.574
So I know there's some local places, whether those are restaurants or little shops and going to support, but for other items that we need throughout the year, now's a good time to get in on that.
00:05:18.971 --> 00:05:22.992
All right, so let's get into what we're consuming and then we'll chat gift guide.
00:05:23.742 --> 00:05:24.401
Uh, okay.
00:05:24.401 --> 00:05:26.922
So Diane, what are you consuming?
00:05:27.963 --> 00:05:30.574
So on the food front, a couple of things.
00:05:30.574 --> 00:05:40.324
Speaking of local restaurants, I've mentioned cafe Mamo before it was a boost mobile at one time, and now it is a really cute, oh my gosh.
00:05:40.324 --> 00:05:41.613
That was an Uber notification.
00:05:41.644 --> 00:05:42.634
Sorry, friends.
00:05:42.644 --> 00:05:44.043
I'm not using that anytime soon.
00:05:45.293 --> 00:05:47.869
Socafe mamo was in this little local restaurant.
00:05:47.869 --> 00:05:50.178
They source so much of their products locally.
00:05:50.178 --> 00:05:51.108
It's all in season.
00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:59.629
They have a really thoughtful cocktail and wine menu, but I had this pork shank, not for our Jewish listeners, but it was a pork shank.
00:05:59.658 --> 00:06:03.139
And it was what I imagined was like the meat equivalent of a cinnamon roll.
00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:05.928
The outside was this really nice layer.
00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:08.778
And then this center was this Tendy center.
00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:10.608
The fun part that everyone fights over.
00:06:11.658 --> 00:06:19.999
With the cinnamon roll, but we had that and this like orange chocolate tart with an orange, caramel, sea salt and like orange vest on top.
00:06:20.598 --> 00:06:22.309
I needed it to be like 10 sizes bigger.
00:06:22.309 --> 00:06:23.269
It was so good.
00:06:23.749 --> 00:06:24.139
So-so
00:06:24.166 --> 00:06:24.497
yummy.
00:06:24.497 --> 00:06:32.437
But the reason it's confusing to me is
because like, you know, Chocolate and orange juice is like the worst combination ever.
00:06:32.899 --> 00:06:38.538
What, what have you never seen those like chocolate oranges that you like break apart into segments?
00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:39.348
It's like that?
00:06:39.547 --> 00:06:44.166
yeah, but like if I take a bite of chocolate and then take a sip of orange juice, like that's as bad
00:06:44.194 --> 00:06:45.064
Oh, it's wrong.
00:06:45.156 --> 00:06:46.927
teeth and drinking orange juice, you know?
00:06:47.434 --> 00:06:48.574
Yeah, that's wrong.
00:06:48.574 --> 00:06:55.684
But this together, it was like a dark chocolate, very rich chocolate tart with chocolate ganache, something like that.
00:06:55.684 --> 00:06:56.613
It wasn't quite a mousse.
00:06:56.824 --> 00:06:58.653
And then a little crust.
00:06:58.803 --> 00:06:59.793
It was so good.
00:06:59.793 --> 00:07:00.634
I want the recipe.
00:07:00.634 --> 00:07:01.663
I want to figure out what they.
00:07:02.151 --> 00:07:05.901
Yeah, it sounds yummy, but I'm trying to figure out if I like it in my mouth.
00:07:06.858 --> 00:07:07.158
thank you.
00:07:07.158 --> 00:07:08.149
It like that in your mouth.
00:07:08.449 --> 00:07:18.798
Um, we also, Neil made this, I'm calling it like his hot honey sauce, but it was coconut aminos G uh, touch a fish sauce that can go wrong real quick.
00:07:18.798 --> 00:07:24.348
If you aren't watching some raw honey and a bunch of sir ratchet, and we did that on chicken thighs.
00:07:24.709 --> 00:07:26.389
It was so good.
00:07:26.851 --> 00:07:30.572
Yeah, the combination of honey and like spice is so good.
00:07:31.069 --> 00:07:31.369
Yeah.
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:32.119
Hi honey.
00:07:32.418 --> 00:07:34.309
So that's what we've been consuming on the food front.
00:07:34.309 --> 00:07:34.968
What about you?
00:07:34.971 --> 00:07:35.661
Yum.
00:07:36.141 --> 00:07:38.331
Honestly, it's been really simple around here.
00:07:38.331 --> 00:07:40.372
I have not made anything too interesting.
00:07:40.822 --> 00:07:43.432
I'm thinking about what I'm going to make for Thanksgiving.
00:07:43.461 --> 00:07:50.422
I'm bringing like two desserts and a salad to my sister's house, so I haven't quite sorted out exactly what that's going to be, but I might make.
00:07:51.432 --> 00:07:58.331
In years past, I've made a dairy-free pumpkin cheesecake, which is really yummy.
00:07:58.541 --> 00:08:07.781
And I do like a little chocolate swirl in there too, but again, we love dairy on this show because our Thanksgiving meal is meat and we keep strict kosher.
00:08:07.961 --> 00:08:09.221
We don't do dairy with meat.
00:08:09.221 --> 00:08:10.101
So I will probably be.
00:08:10.992 --> 00:08:13.302
The kite hill cream cheese for that.
00:08:13.331 --> 00:08:22.872
And I've done that in the past and it is very good, but just make sure that you buy the plain one and not like the scallion or everything, cream cheese, because that would be gross in a cheesecake.
00:08:23.584 --> 00:08:24.483
That would be a nightmare.
00:08:24.483 --> 00:08:31.173
I actually had to rearrange our spice cabinet because we had our worst Chester Shire sauce next to our vanilla extract.
00:08:31.473 --> 00:08:32.974
And they look similar.
00:08:34.264 --> 00:08:34.504
Yeah.
00:08:34.533 --> 00:08:36.543
Not what I would be looking for at all.
00:08:36.573 --> 00:08:36.933
It'd be good.
00:08:36.933 --> 00:08:37.533
April fool's day
00:08:37.826 --> 00:08:48.116
Yeah, I've mixed up, um, cinnamon and paprika before, which is fine in like a stew or a roast, but not in oatmeal.
00:08:50.014 --> 00:08:50.583
did you eat it?
00:08:51.251 --> 00:08:52.001
Yes.
00:08:52.032 --> 00:08:53.351
And it was not good.
00:08:54.461 --> 00:09:00.942
It was the kind of thing where like, I, I noticed right after I poured it in, so I scooped off like enough that it wasn't terrible.
00:09:01.422 --> 00:09:03.042
But yeah, my spice
00:09:03.063 --> 00:09:04.024
I don't like that in
00:09:04.121 --> 00:09:06.822
right now and I was in a rush and it happens.
00:09:08.403 --> 00:09:09.903
Don't like that in my mouth.
00:09:10.683 --> 00:09:12.333
What about on the media front?
00:09:12.792 --> 00:09:14.562
Oh, we've got some good stuff this week.
00:09:14.652 --> 00:09:21.761
So we watched the Alana's Morissette documentary Jagged which all about her album, jagged little pill.
00:09:22.152 --> 00:09:26.142
And I did not know enough about a net Alanis Morissette.
00:09:26.741 --> 00:09:32.142
I will say I wish the doc was a little longer and I wish it went a little deeper.
00:09:32.201 --> 00:09:37.152
Like it was more about the album than it was about her, her life.
00:09:37.812 --> 00:09:37.961
And.
00:09:38.817 --> 00:09:54.267
The context in which she became famous for me when I consume a music or an art documentary, I really like when it is coming from like the art history perspective of like what was going on at the time that led to like, what are our theories around?
00:09:54.267 --> 00:09:55.947
What led to the rise in fame?
00:09:56.067 --> 00:09:57.356
What were people hungry for?
00:09:57.356 --> 00:10:02.366
What will, you know, like that pendulum swing of art and culture history that I love so much.
00:10:03.177 --> 00:10:05.067
So this was more just about the album.
00:10:05.067 --> 00:10:06.356
It was really enjoyable.
00:10:06.356 --> 00:10:07.076
And I will say.
00:10:08.052 --> 00:10:09.101
Grown-up Alanis.
00:10:09.101 --> 00:10:10.721
Morissette is a treat.
00:10:10.841 --> 00:10:13.241
She's just so fun to watch on the screen.
00:10:14.089 --> 00:10:15.129
I mean growing up Atlanta.
00:10:15.221 --> 00:10:20.201
Like she was in the dock now, reflecting back on that time.
00:10:20.958 --> 00:10:21.708
the nineties.
00:10:21.708 --> 00:10:22.099
Right?
00:10:22.902 --> 00:10:34.572
and it was really, it was really interesting to hear about these songs as they were written and Dani and I just kept saying it's so hard for us to
appreciate the authenticity with which she wrote all these songs.
00:10:35.697 --> 00:10:45.777
Because all those songs have been kind of, kind of become a bit in our generation, you know, like the office episode where Kevin does the karaoke to you.
00:10:45.897 --> 00:10:47.547
Yo yo yo Otto.
00:10:47.547 --> 00:10:48.057
No.
00:10:48.537 --> 00:10:48.927
No.
00:10:49.683 --> 00:10:50.043
Yup.
00:10:50.163 --> 00:10:51.214
I know exactly what
00:10:51.397 --> 00:10:54.336
So it was hard to like, watch her sing them authentically.
00:10:54.336 --> 00:11:00.366
The first time she was writing them and not think of them as like doing a bit of themselves, you know what I mean?
00:11:01.293 --> 00:11:04.144
Yeah, I, um, are you a big Alanis fan or was this just
00:11:04.506 --> 00:11:05.616
we just love music docs.
00:11:05.616 --> 00:11:11.047
And also it was produced by the ringer, which is like one of Dani favorite podcasts, media conglomerates.
00:11:11.047 --> 00:11:11.557
So
00:11:12.663 --> 00:11:14.553
but you haven't watched the Adele Oprah
00:11:15.037 --> 00:11:15.547
no,
00:11:15.634 --> 00:11:20.494
I think it was a concert and not a, I don't know, but people were talking about it and she does have a buttery voice.
00:11:20.494 --> 00:11:20.703
Do you like.
00:11:21.167 --> 00:11:22.157
Yeah, I do.
00:11:22.563 --> 00:11:24.063
Something that it's done objectively.
00:11:24.063 --> 00:11:25.744
Like everybody loves that loves
00:11:25.836 --> 00:11:28.626
I'm not like a huge Adele head, but like I enjoy her music.
00:11:30.214 --> 00:11:38.014
I've been heavy listening to a lot of equipment and you might be picking it up on our sound here today, but it's an everyday thing.
00:11:38.014 --> 00:11:43.984
I remember when people just use rakes, but somebody was like, I'm convinced, blowing their leaves back and forth.
00:11:44.014 --> 00:11:46.413
And someone's equipment is struggling right now.
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:46.919
Yeah.
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.629
So we enjoyed the Atlanta's documentary.
00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:49.470
Good watch.
00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:52.500
It's just like short and sweet and it just enjoyable.
00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.129
I think it's nice.
00:11:53.129 --> 00:12:02.315
And then the other things I had alluded to this, I think last week or two weeks ago, The Mindy Kaling's new show, the sex lives of college girls.
00:12:02.975 --> 00:12:07.475
And we watched episode one and it is as delightful as I imagined.
00:12:07.475 --> 00:12:08.105
It would be.
00:12:08.585 --> 00:12:21.095
The cast is not people that you probably know young group of gals I think one of the actresses played Regina George in mean girls on Broadway, I believe.
00:12:21.154 --> 00:12:21.664
Yeah.
00:12:21.784 --> 00:12:26.705
Um, but it was just, it's basically Mindy Kaylin's take on.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:33.019
The like frat boy college experience from the girl's perspective.
00:12:33.409 --> 00:12:40.610
And it's like modern day modern day women kind of like sorting through their sexuality.
00:12:40.610 --> 00:12:46.610
And one of them is like overly sex, positive and hilarious way, and just it's shenanigans.
00:12:46.610 --> 00:12:48.169
And I really enjoyed episode one.
00:12:48.169 --> 00:12:49.129
It was a great pilot
00:12:49.976 --> 00:12:51.116
is it on the Netflix?
00:12:51.230 --> 00:12:52.639
HBO, max, I believe.
00:12:53.187 --> 00:12:53.486
Okay.
00:12:53.486 --> 00:12:53.697
We do.
00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:58.399
Yeah, but one episode in it's fun, we like it.
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.440
And again, like, I just feel like everything, Mindy Kayling touches turns to gold.
00:13:03.470 --> 00:13:08.899
Like she just has this amazing way of putting people together and writing these stories that just feel like a hug.
00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:10.159
You just want to watch it, you know?
00:13:10.736 --> 00:13:12.147
yeah, we talked about wait.
00:13:12.596 --> 00:13:12.956
Oh wait.
00:13:13.317 --> 00:13:14.846
Never have I ever, yeah, never.
00:13:14.876 --> 00:13:15.746
I was gonna say always have a.
00:13:15.809 --> 00:13:16.500
never, never.
00:13:17.966 --> 00:13:22.317
Yeah, a lot of similar titles going around, floating around out there, but I'll add that to my queue.
00:13:22.346 --> 00:13:25.826
I've been watching cowboy bebop live action.
00:13:26.277 --> 00:13:26.726
So.
00:13:27.731 --> 00:13:38.532
I don't know if I mentioned this, maybe on our first episode growing up, I was so into anime, manga, Japanese comics, video games, and one of my favorite anime series was called cowboy bebop.
00:13:38.562 --> 00:13:45.881
They are these bounty hunters, and there's also this, like, they have this fun jazz intro to the show.
00:13:46.091 --> 00:13:48.131
Well, now it's a live action from Netflix.
00:13:48.701 --> 00:13:50.471
It's a little cheesy.
00:13:50.501 --> 00:13:51.371
It's a little cheesy.
00:13:51.424 --> 00:13:52.804
take away from the fun of it?
00:13:53.397 --> 00:13:53.817
For me.
00:13:53.817 --> 00:13:53.996
Yeah.
00:13:54.027 --> 00:13:55.197
A little bit, but it's got this.
00:13:55.317 --> 00:13:59.456
It just brings up this nostalgia for me, John Cho is the main character.
00:13:59.456 --> 00:14:00.746
He wasn't Harold and Kumar.
00:14:02.456 --> 00:14:02.756
It's a queen.
00:14:02.756 --> 00:14:03.866
It's not the guy from Harold and Kumar.
00:14:03.866 --> 00:14:09.386
I don't recognize any of the rest of the cast, but the sets and the graphics are really cool.
00:14:09.567 --> 00:14:10.647
So that was a neat throwback.
00:14:10.647 --> 00:14:13.856
I was excited to see that's in the top 10 on Netflix right now.
00:14:14.246 --> 00:14:20.876
I mean, it's not that great, but in the documentary vein, I finished road runner, the Anthony Bordain doc.
00:14:21.004 --> 00:14:21.754
you okay?
00:14:22.886 --> 00:14:24.537
I had to recover from that one.
00:14:24.596 --> 00:14:25.557
It was really well done.
00:14:25.557 --> 00:14:27.897
It took a turn
towards the end.
00:14:27.897 --> 00:14:37.437
I didn't expect it to, um, and it was interesting that they did not choose to include his girlfriend in the documentary.
00:14:37.437 --> 00:14:39.326
And I wonder how she felt about that.
00:14:40.422 --> 00:14:40.812
Overall.
00:14:40.812 --> 00:14:41.532
It was really well done.
00:14:41.532 --> 00:14:55.481
I don't think I mentioned this last time because I didn't get there yet, but they use this deep fake technology basically submitted like 12 hours of audio, whether that was him from his show or Tony reading his book to have him read an email, he sent to someone
00:14:55.764 --> 00:14:56.394
hate that
00:14:56.861 --> 00:14:58.481
It didn't sound odd, but I remember watching it.
00:14:58.481 --> 00:15:01.662
I was like, wait, how is he reading a private email that he sent
00:15:02.095 --> 00:15:03.115
don't sign me up for that.
00:15:03.205 --> 00:15:03.985
I don't like that.
00:15:04.164 --> 00:15:05.934
I don't like technology changing stuff.
00:15:05.965 --> 00:15:06.625
I don't like that.
00:15:07.062 --> 00:15:09.371
Right, but how creepy could be used for evil?
00:15:11.142 --> 00:15:12.101
I didn't say that.
00:15:12.251 --> 00:15:16.572
It sounds just like, yeah, it was interesting, but overall it was really well done.
00:15:16.631 --> 00:15:18.701
Um, and rip.
00:15:18.792 --> 00:15:21.072
So we have a lot of other stuff in the queue.
00:15:21.304 --> 00:15:38.975
whenever you talk about that, like kind of audio stuff, it reminds me of, um, in 30 rock when they have Tracy like record all of those words on the green screen so that they can have him say any line ever, you know, and he's like, it creeps me out that stuff, but that was really funny.
00:15:39.822 --> 00:15:40.182
Yeah.
00:15:40.211 --> 00:15:43.542
Technology ma'am well, let's get into it.
00:15:43.542 --> 00:15:44.172
Shall we?
00:15:44.172 --> 00:15:52.902
We've got some, I've got some things on my list and these sales, some of them are hot, but if not sales, we also have just some ideas.
00:15:52.902 --> 00:15:59.772
If you're stumped on what to get some on your life or where to upgrade some things in the health and realm, health and wellness.
00:15:59.802 --> 00:16:00.251
Oh my God.
00:16:00.282 --> 00:16:02.142
Health and wellness space.
00:16:03.225 --> 00:16:04.544
I think you were going to say realm.
00:16:05.292 --> 00:16:05.741
Realm.
00:16:05.772 --> 00:16:07.272
Yeah, where's a hard today.
00:16:07.331 --> 00:16:07.822
Okay.
00:16:09.465 --> 00:16:10.365
We're doing great.
00:16:10.695 --> 00:16:13.455
All right, so let's do it.
00:16:14.144 --> 00:16:16.274
Shall we go by category?
00:16:17.381 --> 00:16:18.282
Yeah, let's go.
00:16:18.312 --> 00:16:19.812
So beauty and personal care.
00:16:20.606 --> 00:16:22.557
I think this isn't going to be any surprise.
00:16:22.557 --> 00:16:27.417
And I imagine a lot of you are already aware, but beauty counter holiday sets.
00:16:27.506 --> 00:16:29.876
It's a great time to try new products.
00:16:30.057 --> 00:16:41.547
It's also a time where they are releasing or trying out limited edition products that they might make permanent additions, but they also have a lot of nice deluxe travel sets, whether that's for skincare or for beauty.
00:16:41.726 --> 00:16:44.907
So I definitely recommend this to my beauty counter clients.
00:16:45.086 --> 00:16:49.706
If they're curious about trying something is to try some of beauty counters set.
00:16:50.501 --> 00:16:52.721
And if you like it, you can grab a full-size.
00:16:52.804 --> 00:16:54.605
Yeah, I think it's a fun opportunity.
00:16:54.605 --> 00:17:00.995
I think like, especially with the sale, a lot of those beauty counter sets end up at a steep discount.
00:17:01.355 --> 00:17:08.255
Um, and they do usually go on and even steeper discount after black Friday, but you didn't hear it from us.
00:17:08.644 --> 00:17:11.569
Um, However things do sell out.
00:17:11.569 --> 00:17:15.349
So if there's something you're eyeing, I would try to grab it before the holiday weekend.
00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:22.160
But if you're just like, wait and see, and then you want to see what you can grab before it goes out of stock.
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.349
I'm sure the end of the year, there'll be some really good sales on those sets too.
00:17:27.829 --> 00:17:31.250
Um, do you have a favorite from the holiday gift sets this year?
00:17:31.872 --> 00:17:33.311
I think we might have the same ones.
00:17:34.106 --> 00:17:37.707
We both have been affiliated with beauty counter for a few years now.
00:17:37.767 --> 00:17:43.287
And in years past, I really liked when they would introduce different color cosmetics, but they're pulling back on that and focusing more.
00:17:43.287 --> 00:17:50.336
It seems on skincare body care, but we both were interested in their aha masks.
00:17:50.336 --> 00:17:51.356
So this is a new mask.
00:17:51.926 --> 00:17:53.426
This is especially helpful.
00:17:53.426 --> 00:17:53.846
If you have.
00:17:54.547 --> 00:17:59.797
Um, doll, skin, dry or mature skin, which many of us experience with the seasonal change.
00:17:59.977 --> 00:18:01.777
So it's going to be that gentle exfoliation.
00:18:01.807 --> 00:18:05.707
If you do like their overnight resurfacing peel, I think we both love that one.
00:18:05.946 --> 00:18:07.567
Then this is one to try out.
00:18:07.567 --> 00:18:08.616
It is not yet permanent.
00:18:08.616 --> 00:18:12.247
So that's top of my list is that new peel.
00:18:12.750 --> 00:18:15.380
It's part of a duo called the smooth and bright duo.
00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:19.099
So if you're looking for that, it's the peel, it's the mask.
00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:20.029
That's part of this, move them right.
00:18:20.029 --> 00:18:20.359
Do out.
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:24.109
And it comes with that vitamin C serum, which a lot of my clients love as well.
00:18:24.470 --> 00:18:27.019
But yeah, our friend, Genny B beauty, we talk about her a lot.
00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:32.990
She is an esthetician and she recommended that specifically for me when she heard it was coming to the product line because.
00:18:34.244 --> 00:18:35.924
I have been dealing with some stuff.
00:18:35.954 --> 00:18:40.545
My skin has shifted quite a bit since this postpartum journey with Abe.
00:18:41.115 --> 00:18:45.075
Um, I'm still nursing him like once a day.
00:18:45.434 --> 00:18:54.765
Most days he'll want to have some milk before bed, but that sharp decrease in feeding frequency from like four times a day to that one time a day.
00:18:55.654 --> 00:19:07.295
A lot of women will experience some pretty big shifts in their skin and I'm doing everything I knew, know how to do on the internal front, but sometimes you just need that topical support when your skin is shifting.
00:19:08.569 --> 00:19:10.460
I'm going to give that a shot and we'll see how it goes.
00:19:10.789 --> 00:19:19.539
Um, the other thing that I've been incorporating into my, into my routine, which was another recommendation from our friend, Genny is the brand earth Harbor.
00:19:20.664 --> 00:19:32.694
Also a nice, safer beauty brand and their branding is really cute, I've been using their cloud burst, balancing gel hydrator.
00:19:33.654 --> 00:19:34.704
And I like it.
00:19:34.734 --> 00:19:38.785
I've only been using it for a few weeks, so I don't have a huge report to give,
00:19:39.467 --> 00:19:41.836
Is it a moisturizer or a serum or?
00:19:42.055 --> 00:19:46.734
it can be used differently based on your needs, but for my skin, I'm using it as like a treatment step.
00:19:47.065 --> 00:19:51.894
So I wash my face and then I use the cloudburst and then I put my wish riser on top of it at night.
00:19:53.474 --> 00:19:53.714
Yeah.
00:19:53.714 --> 00:19:55.575
So it's like a, for non peal nights.
00:19:56.295 --> 00:20:02.355
Um, also, you know, some botanical hyaluronic acid in there it's really gentle and nice.
00:20:02.714 --> 00:20:04.875
I do think there's one ingredient in there.
00:20:04.934 --> 00:20:07.244
That is one of my like weird COVID smells.
00:20:07.244 --> 00:20:10.785
Cause sometimes I put it on and right away, I'm just like, oh, this smells weird.
00:20:11.085 --> 00:20:13.394
But it, it fades pretty quickly cause there's no synthetics in it.
00:20:13.394 --> 00:20:15.585
So it's not like holding that smell onto my face.
00:20:16.666 --> 00:20:17.356
Nice.
00:20:17.537 --> 00:20:20.626
Similarly, I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but I know I've talked to you about it.
00:20:20.866 --> 00:20:35.386
I've been experimenting with some different skincare, still love beauty counter, but this brand was on my radar from my friend, Allie at empowered auto-immune her friend, um, is all about research driven science driven skin care.
00:20:36.767 --> 00:20:38.836
Excellent natural skincare.
00:20:38.836 --> 00:20:44.267
And I'm trying her clarity serum as a facial oil moisturizer.
00:20:44.267 --> 00:20:45.826
My skin is
really liking it so far.
00:20:45.826 --> 00:20:57.737
And typically this is when, when we're transitioning from fall into winter, my skin gets really dry, got to really love on my moisture barrier and I'm really liking her products, but I like the education that she has around them.
00:20:58.037 --> 00:21:00.136
It does have a botanical smell.
00:21:00.136 --> 00:21:04.247
So when you mentioned that, um, th that reminded me of the serum, but I really like it.
00:21:04.307 --> 00:21:04.517
It's got.
00:21:05.551 --> 00:21:06.211
Really awesome.
00:21:06.211 --> 00:21:07.352
Gentle actives.
00:21:07.682 --> 00:21:10.892
Now I know people sometimes can get confused about oils and skincare.
00:21:10.892 --> 00:21:16.412
She has, I know some free education on her, um, site about that, but I'm really liking that.
00:21:16.442 --> 00:21:24.872
I do though, if you really like an emollient delicious cream, another set from beauty counter that I think is probably going to sell out.
00:21:24.872 --> 00:21:36.271
What's called the clean dreams set and it has their, um, counter plus overnight resurfacing peel that I just mentioned, but also their Countertime Tetra peptide supreme cream,
00:21:36.329 --> 00:21:37.769
we've talked about it on the show before.
00:21:37.769 --> 00:21:38.730
This is our favorite.
00:21:39.781 --> 00:21:40.771
love.
00:21:40.832 --> 00:21:50.311
And several years ago, you would be hard pressed to find a safer skincare brand that had this level of attention to a night cream.
00:21:50.311 --> 00:21:51.001
It's so annoying.
00:21:51.001 --> 00:21:52.622
It's so noisy moisturizing.
00:21:52.981 --> 00:21:57.061
It also has their Boccuzzi all in it, but it also comes with this cute little eye mask.
00:21:57.061 --> 00:21:58.261
It says clean dreams.
00:21:58.501 --> 00:22:01.561
We talked on our recent cleaning up your products episode.
00:22:01.561 --> 00:22:01.832
I don't know.
00:22:02.626 --> 00:22:05.747
Clean versus dirty language as much as I want.
00:22:05.836 --> 00:22:07.396
I mean, I would kind of like a dirty dreams.
00:22:07.396 --> 00:22:11.297
I'm ask, can you flip it over and have a dirty dreams on the other
00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:12.740
you know, who would do that?
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.259
Um, that sex therapist I've talked to.
00:22:16.045 --> 00:22:17.815
Um, Vanessa and Zander.
00:22:18.025 --> 00:22:18.505
Yeah.
00:22:18.805 --> 00:22:20.694
She just, they made for their team.
00:22:20.694 --> 00:22:28.615
They did like a retreat for the holidays and they made for their team, a magnet that like one side says, ah, what did it say?
00:22:30.075 --> 00:22:31.615
I forgot what the top side says,
00:22:31.906 --> 00:22:32.926
is it like naughty and nice
00:22:32.994 --> 00:22:33.505
yeah.
00:22:33.505 --> 00:22:34.105
It's something
00:22:34.156 --> 00:22:34.727
It's a holiday.
00:22:35.035 --> 00:22:35.664
yeah.
00:22:35.694 --> 00:22:39.625
And, and like, they were joking about like, you put it on the fridge and
show your partner what you're looking for.
00:22:39.865 --> 00:22:40.255
It's like,
00:22:42.376 --> 00:22:43.126
I love it.
00:22:43.596 --> 00:22:49.217
So those are a couple of our favorite sets from beauty counter and for black Friday, or they've been, I think they started this last week.
00:22:49.217 --> 00:22:52.307
It's 15% off plus free shipping, which they don't do often.
00:22:52.307 --> 00:22:58.096
And with those glass bottles, the glass packaging that free shipping is nice.
00:22:58.369 --> 00:22:59.180
seriously.
00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:00.859
So yeah, those are, those are some of our favorites.
00:23:00.890 --> 00:23:02.420
There are a few other things to look at.
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.829
Like you said, they've been shifting away from some of their powdered.
00:23:07.704 --> 00:23:13.375
Blush and eye shadow, but they are testing a few powder options without talc for the holidays.
00:23:13.375 --> 00:23:16.345
So some of those sets might be worth trying.
00:23:16.951 --> 00:23:18.961
I saw they have one eye shadow palette, quad.
00:23:18.961 --> 00:23:21.301
I was actually emailing with one of my beauty cutter clients.
00:23:21.301 --> 00:23:25.832
And I was like, honestly, I'm not, I'm not excited about the colors, but maybe someone else's.
00:23:26.132 --> 00:23:30.031
So I always give it to give the real, real thoughts to you about those products.
00:23:30.541 --> 00:23:30.692
Uh,
00:23:30.954 --> 00:23:37.525
front on the holiday sets was a little underwhelming for me this year, but it seems they are in a big reformulation stage.
00:23:37.525 --> 00:23:40.525
So I imagine it was tough to produce a lot of that stuff.
00:23:40.555 --> 00:23:42.265
I always love their lip gloss minis.
00:23:42.265 --> 00:23:45.535
Those are a great gift to break up for teachers or nieces.
00:23:45.535 --> 00:23:50.934
I always love getting those to my young nieces because they love those little lip glosses and stuff, but they're
00:23:51.047 --> 00:23:51.196
the
00:23:51.325 --> 00:23:52.224
them half the time.
00:23:52.487 --> 00:23:52.997
knife.
00:23:53.356 --> 00:23:53.836
Yeah.
00:23:54.017 --> 00:23:57.557
They look like a little juicy tube from, was it Estee, Lauder,
00:23:57.619 --> 00:24:01.339
Yeah, Minnie always asks me for lip boss, but then she just eats it.
00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:04.369
So I'm happy to give her a beauty counter one
00:24:05.041 --> 00:24:05.582
Yeah.
00:24:05.632 --> 00:24:05.811
Yeah.
00:24:05.852 --> 00:24:07.471
She's going to eat somewhat lit boss.
00:24:07.501 --> 00:24:08.551
That's the one to do it.
00:24:09.001 --> 00:24:10.682
So that's beauty and personal care.
00:24:10.682 --> 00:24:15.241
A final note, I may have mentioned on the personal care product safety episode is credo beauty.
00:24:15.241 --> 00:24:18.541
It's like the safer Sephora, but they do tons of gifts.
00:24:18.541 --> 00:24:23.731
That's I don't see any sales online right now, but maybe they're saving up for when this episode
00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:24.079
the
00:24:24.182 --> 00:24:24.902
check out credo.
00:24:24.902 --> 00:24:25.352
Beauty.
00:24:25.711 --> 00:24:26.192
Yeah.
00:24:26.769 --> 00:24:32.289
And as always, we will have links and everything for you in the show notes, and we'll keep those updated.
00:24:32.289 --> 00:24:36.099
So if we get our hands on any extra codes or anything like that, we'll pop those in there.
00:24:36.676 --> 00:24:37.217
Yeah.
00:24:37.277 --> 00:24:40.277
Yeah, no, don't miss the show notes where we add all the good stuff.
00:24:40.967 --> 00:24:44.507
So next up, let's talk about some big purchases for the home.
00:24:44.507 --> 00:24:46.247
So maybe these aren't things that you're going to gift.
00:24:46.247 --> 00:24:52.336
I mean, if you are, you're awesome, but I know that this can be personal and.
00:24:53.162 --> 00:24:55.951
Yeah, I can't necessarily give someone like a mattress.
00:24:55.951 --> 00:24:59.162
You don't know what their home situation might be, but a couple of these could be gifts.
00:24:59.192 --> 00:25:04.352
So first up I have been loving this, this past year, especially through the winter.
00:25:04.711 --> 00:25:07.382
It is the canopy humidifier.
00:25:07.771 --> 00:25:11.582
So it's oh my gosh.
00:25:11.642 --> 00:25:14.731
I knew that I would like it, but I love it so much.
00:25:15.122 --> 00:25:17.011
It looks nice on my nightstand.
00:25:17.491 --> 00:25:21.182
It can be cleaned in the dishwasher folks.
00:25:21.872 --> 00:25:22.021
How.
00:25:22.787 --> 00:25:23.596
Times have you like
00:25:23.684 --> 00:25:25.305
about a humidifier is having to
00:25:25.366 --> 00:25:27.106
cleaning it with a toothbrush?
00:25:27.106 --> 00:25:29.836
I had the vinegar out with everything else, but yeah, you can take it off.
00:25:31.037 --> 00:25:32.027
Put it in your dishwasher.
00:25:32.027 --> 00:25:41.237
I think some of their sets for holiday also include some essential oils and they have these little stones that you put on top of the canopy humidifier, but it's super easy to take apart.
00:25:41.416 --> 00:25:42.467
It's really quiet.
00:25:42.467 --> 00:25:47.507
It doesn't have any aggressive blue lights, which I really hate about so many humidifiers.
00:25:47.507 --> 00:25:49.906
Like you're trying to sleep in a dark environment.
00:25:49.906 --> 00:25:52.007
We talk about this and that gyst mini course.
00:25:52.876 --> 00:25:59.176
So no aggressive lights, it's quiet and it doesn't get moldy nasty.
00:25:59.747 --> 00:26:01.007
So get that.
00:26:01.037 --> 00:26:07.817
There are, you can do a subscription for the filters and that comes like once a month or you can always skip, but they have a few different colors.
00:26:07.846 --> 00:26:09.047
It looks pretty sleek.
00:26:09.557 --> 00:26:10.636
Love the canopy humidity.
00:26:11.230 --> 00:26:11.680
Yeah.
00:26:11.890 --> 00:26:16.869
I think this category of like big purchases for the home, this is a great thing.
00:26:16.869 --> 00:26:25.630
If
you have like a parent or a partner that wants to get you a big gift and you want to tell them exactly what to get you.
00:26:27.047 --> 00:26:29.626
get them a link, send them to our show notes.
00:26:30.047 --> 00:26:35.777
Something that I don't think is talked about enough is how much a humidifier can improve your winter skin.
00:26:35.807 --> 00:26:48.196
I noticed such a difference when I'm consistently using our humidifier at night, I wake up with my skin feeling good because that dry heat that might be blowing all night is not doing you any favors.
00:26:48.196 --> 00:26:53.326
Or if you also deal with allergies, I know growing up, my mom was always running this for my little.
00:26:54.241 --> 00:26:55.771
It can make a difference.
00:26:56.071 --> 00:26:57.872
So really, really like
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:03.680
The thing people don't realize about the winter is that the air gets dry, but the air is still wants moisture.
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:05.599
So it sucks it out your body.
00:27:06.230 --> 00:27:08.779
That is why we feel so freaking dry in the winter.
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:11.539
So we just talked about beauty, personal care.
00:27:11.569 --> 00:27:14.210
Like you need to switch up your skincare for the winter.
00:27:14.210 --> 00:27:16.559
Your skin has very different needs in the winter than does.
00:27:17.904 --> 00:27:27.174
And we have one big humidifier in our room, but honestly, I don't even think it's enough cause we sleep with our window open and the heat on because like our unit heats up our kids' room.
00:27:27.174 --> 00:27:27.384
And then,
00:27:27.586 --> 00:27:28.067
Oh, wait.
00:27:28.126 --> 00:27:32.027
Well, if you're here, if you have the window open yeah, your skin's going to be so dry.
00:27:32.125 --> 00:27:38.184
yeah, so right now we have one big humidifier running in our room, but like, honestly I need to purchase like three more.
00:27:38.184 --> 00:27:41.454
I want to turn my room into the rainforest, you know?
00:27:41.461 --> 00:27:42.842
Yeah, a balmy.
00:27:42.842 --> 00:27:44.731
I mean, I wake up and my skin feels Dewey.
00:27:44.731 --> 00:27:49.231
When we have the canopy running, it has an auto mode, but it's still quiet when it's on.
00:27:49.832 --> 00:27:51.061
So I really love that.
00:27:51.092 --> 00:27:57.662
Speaking of air and air quality, this has been on my list all year, but I was waiting for a sale and they have one going right now.
00:27:57.961 --> 00:27:59.971
It's air, doctor, and air purifier.
00:28:00.392 --> 00:28:03.422
I heard about this from a couple of our friends on.
00:28:05.011 --> 00:28:08.162
We will link the, um, link these for you in the show notes.
00:28:08.162 --> 00:28:18.872
But if you have pets, if you have an older home, even if you are adjusting regularly, indoor air is dirty compared to our outdoor environment.
00:28:18.991 --> 00:28:21.332
That's why we always talk about getting outside as much as you can.
00:28:21.571 --> 00:28:23.402
So of course, clean your home regularly.
00:28:23.582 --> 00:28:32.372
If you can dust your sleeping environment, Londa sheets, but I'm really excited to see the difference this makes, because I know it has made such a difference for.
00:28:33.376 --> 00:28:33.646
Friends.
00:28:33.646 --> 00:28:39.646
So yes, it is an investment, but there are different sizes from air doctor and I've heard excellent review.
00:28:39.646 --> 00:28:41.567
So I'm really excited to put this to the test.
00:28:41.567 --> 00:28:43.487
I'm sure I'll be sharing how that goes.
00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:48.150
Yeah, on that note, if you were looking for a different option there, I've heard wonderful things about air.
00:28:48.150 --> 00:28:48.660
Dr.
00:28:49.049 --> 00:29:02.039
Dyson also makes a, I would call it a lower quality air purifier, but I think it's a little, a little bit of a lower price point as well, but you can get the Dyson air purifier and heater.
00:29:02.849 --> 00:29:08.819
And I have been, I have been using it in my garage gym and it has been wonderful.
00:29:08.849 --> 00:29:11.099
And the nicest thing about it is that it's connected to wifi.
00:29:11.130 --> 00:29:11.640
So.
00:29:12.142 --> 00:29:15.711
We tell them how you like to use it to warm up your bells.
00:29:16.484 --> 00:29:18.944
the kettlebells get so cold in the winter.
00:29:19.305 --> 00:29:28.244
So anyways, I leave it pointing towards my bells and I use the app on my phone and I turn it on an hour before I'm going down to train.
00:29:29.115 --> 00:29:34.035
And even on these like 30 degree days, I haven't yet tested it when it's zero degrees out.
00:29:34.035 --> 00:29:37.815
But so far we've had some 30 degrees day, 30 degree days.
00:29:38.809 --> 00:29:45.769
An hour of that Dyson heater power pointing at my kettlebells is enough to warm them wonderfully for my workout.
00:29:45.769 --> 00:29:46.160
So yeah.
00:29:46.190 --> 00:29:46.849
Air Dr.
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:52.160
Dyson wonderful options for switching up that air.
00:29:53.182 --> 00:29:54.501
but Dyson also has a fan.
00:29:54.501 --> 00:29:56.241
So it's nice to use that when it's too hot.
00:29:56.241 --> 00:30:01.192
I use that in my office and the summer, but, um, we use that in our guest room.
00:30:01.582 --> 00:30:03.201
I know Costco often do deals on it.
00:30:03.201 --> 00:30:07.162
So if not ordering online, my favorite Costco,
00:30:07.184 --> 00:30:07.305
The
00:30:07.342 --> 00:30:08.031
the air doctor.
00:30:09.352 --> 00:30:13.041
Look, name brand air doctor has a couple of filters, which is why it works so well.
00:30:13.041 --> 00:30:22.461
So yes, it is an investment, but this seems to be their best sale of the year and includes a carbon slash VOC, volatile, organic compound filter, and an ultra HEPA filter.
00:30:22.461 --> 00:30:25.251
So maybe we're thinking, oh, my house has a HEPA filter.
00:30:25.251 --> 00:30:27.862
It doesn't do it the same as something like this.
00:30:28.342 --> 00:30:33.862
Um, and I
mean, if I found out I was allergic to my dogs, obviously those are, they are not going anywhere.
00:30:37.672 --> 00:30:39.021
But we'll see how this goes.
00:30:39.021 --> 00:30:41.571
I'll update you once we get ours
00:30:42.051 --> 00:30:55.402
Diane mentioned like, if you live in an older home and you're not sure about like mold exposure or what's in your house, but also if you live in a brand new home and you've just painted and things like that, if you were not conscious about using low VOC paints.
00:30:55.551 --> 00:30:55.612
Yeah.
00:30:56.646 --> 00:30:57.846
Don't beat yourself up.
00:30:57.846 --> 00:31:09.247
If you weren't like nobody gives us this information, or even if you were there still are organic compounds, volatile, organic compounds that off gas of new furniture, new paint,
00:31:09.329 --> 00:31:09.599
New
00:31:09.817 --> 00:31:11.767
new mattresses, all that good stuff.
00:31:11.797 --> 00:31:16.807
So it is definitely something to be conscious about and can get that air quality.
00:31:16.866 --> 00:31:17.467
Right.
00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:22.259
I'm excited to see how it turns on when I'm cooking.
00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:22.440
Like.
00:31:23.625 --> 00:31:26.085
I think of all the bacon smells in my hair.
00:31:26.115 --> 00:31:31.515
Like we have a, we have a hood side note when I've seen like these beautiful homes, because I'll casually look on Zillow.
00:31:31.515 --> 00:31:36.404
I'll see sometimes these beautiful kitchens and a cooktop say in an island and there's no hood over it.
00:31:36.404 --> 00:31:38.325
And I think you obviously don't cook.
00:31:38.355 --> 00:31:40.244
Like where the fuck is your hood?
00:31:40.515 --> 00:31:45.944
What are you doing when you are like cooking something crazy by
00:31:45.951 --> 00:31:49.821
My mom used to get so mad at us growing up when we didn't turn it on, she calls it the blower.
00:31:49.971 --> 00:31:55.461
And I would always just like, I have memories of just hearing her scream from the living room when I'm cooking, like put that blower.
00:31:59.339 --> 00:32:01.829
Yeah, clean up the air as best we can.
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.289
Uh, sometimes I'll go to the gym and start sweating and think, oh, I smell like bacon or beef.
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.099
Have you remember that video video of that toddler?
00:32:11.099 --> 00:32:12.599
It's like, I smell like beef.
00:32:12.630 --> 00:32:13.799
I smell like beef.
00:32:13.829 --> 00:32:14.279
That's
00:32:14.676 --> 00:32:15.366
It's me.
00:32:16.589 --> 00:32:17.309
Yes.
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:31.950
So speaking of mattresses, another big ticket item that we were buying this whole year was a new mattress ready to replace one, and we are going in on avocado.
00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:36.299
So nontoxic mattress really, really love this quality and is an investment.
00:32:36.869 --> 00:32:39.029
Um, but I got to sleep on one.
00:32:39.029 --> 00:32:40.619
When I went to go visit Adina it was
00:32:40.912 --> 00:32:41.721
Yeah, we have.
00:32:41.751 --> 00:32:44.422
So we have two different nontoxic mattress brands.
00:32:44.422 --> 00:32:46.281
We have avocado, which I really like also.
00:32:46.582 --> 00:32:52.491
And then if you're looking for a slightly lower price point, my green mattress is also a good option.
00:32:52.971 --> 00:33:04.102
And when it comes to your mattress, you know, whenever Diane and I are talking about product safety and lowering your toxic load, we're always going to help you prioritize the things that matter most.
00:33:04.642 --> 00:33:06.172
And the way I like to think about it and.
00:33:07.537 --> 00:33:16.747
Your bed is somewhere that you should be spending a lot of time and it's consistent time where your body is supposed to be detoxing.
00:33:16.747 --> 00:33:23.047
So overnight we do a lot of our detoxing, our body cycles thing, recycles things.
00:33:23.467 --> 00:33:30.997
And so in our sleep environment, if we can keep that a lower toxic load, it's really, really beneficial for our health.
00:33:31.027 --> 00:33:32.676
Not to mention that mattresses.
00:33:33.561 --> 00:33:40.192
Conventional mattresses have a lot of toxic nonsense in them, but it also gets worse over time.
00:33:40.402 --> 00:33:46.821
So the longer you sleep on a mattress, the more those things break down and release into your environment and get,
00:33:47.069 --> 00:33:48.509
That offgassing the Adina was
00:33:48.692 --> 00:33:49.231
yeah.
00:33:49.471 --> 00:33:49.862
So.
00:33:50.692 --> 00:33:51.501
Especially.
00:33:51.501 --> 00:33:53.902
I know people always ask about like nontoxic kids stuff.
00:33:54.352 --> 00:34:02.721
I prioritize for my kids, like the crib, the mattress, the PJ's, the stuff they spend those just straight hours in overnight.
00:34:03.112 --> 00:34:04.971
And it's the same for adults.
00:34:04.971 --> 00:34:07.162
So mattress is a great one.
00:34:07.642 --> 00:34:08.931
It's an investment.
00:34:08.931 --> 00:34:13.192
So I wouldn't just be like, oh, Diane and said this, I got to throw my mattress out the window.
00:34:13.521 --> 00:34:18.231
Um, but if you are ready to budget for a bigger investment, that's a great swap.
00:34:19.769 --> 00:34:20.190
Yeah.
00:34:20.190 --> 00:34:24.389
I mean, we don't take this light, like yeah, you can't just throw out your mattress and get a new one.
00:34:24.389 --> 00:34:25.769
We'd wanted one for a while.
00:34:25.769 --> 00:34:27.599
So saved up for this.
00:34:27.630 --> 00:34:36.389
Something I appreciate about this one is that they screen about avocados, that they screened for 6,500 known and suspected harmful chemicals.
00:34:36.750 --> 00:34:38.190
We last time we got our mattress.
00:34:38.190 --> 00:34:51.690
I remember opening it and the smell there's just that plastic-y chemical smell that we don't want to spend a lot of time around, but they have this, um, their mattresses are all organic construction, certified organic.
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:56.460
They have
a one-year trial, like many mattresses ordered online are now doing.
00:34:56.489 --> 00:34:56.880
I like that.
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:59.909
They also have a 25 year warranty, which is really cool.
00:35:00.150 --> 00:35:01.469
So you can try it out.
00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:02.429
I read through all the review.
00:35:03.150 --> 00:35:04.230
They were rave reviews.
00:35:04.260 --> 00:35:07.980
We also like that they are certified B corporation, like beauty counter.
00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:17.849
So we like their commitment to sustainability, sustainable sourcing and practices and to a zero waste certified mattress factory.
00:35:17.849 --> 00:35:23.039
So that's so many just, it's just so thought they put a lot of thought into the creation of this product.
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:24.809
So I'm really excited to give it a
00:35:24.936 --> 00:35:25.356
Yeah.
00:35:25.436 --> 00:35:25.706
All right.
00:35:25.706 --> 00:35:34.646
Next up also a great nighttime routine option is get yourself some red light so we can do a whole episode on like circadian rhythm.
00:35:35.561 --> 00:35:40.061
Sleep and benefits of red light therapy, but just know it's great for you.
00:35:40.061 --> 00:35:40.992
We don't get enough of it.
00:35:40.992 --> 00:35:44.172
It helps with a lot of the recycling that we were talking about in our body.
00:35:44.532 --> 00:35:49.362
It helps us produce a lot of the things that we need to make energy, which a lot of us are really lacking in.
00:35:49.572 --> 00:35:53.231
So yeah, red light is something that I would highly recommend incorporating into your team.
00:35:53.681 --> 00:35:56.981
And there are brands, the one I wanted to mention here is Gembared.
00:35:57.240 --> 00:36:02.610
They are committed to lowering the price point on really high quality red light devices.
00:36:02.911 --> 00:36:04.740
So I would give them a look.
00:36:04.831 --> 00:36:06.061
Um, I really liked their.
00:36:07.898 --> 00:36:16.179
yeah, I have nothing else candle down, or we have more resources, resources for you in our gyst mini course on the sleep front, moving on.
00:36:16.179 --> 00:36:18.878
But I guess similarly with the red light here, so.
00:36:19.793 --> 00:36:32.393
Saunas, they look goofy and ideally, I know Neil wants a traditional sauna, but until we can get one of those, I was eyeing therasage, they're OSI, Ferris age.
00:36:32.423 --> 00:36:33.353
We're going to go with that.
00:36:34.014 --> 00:36:36.204
Your head sticks out of this portable
00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:37.891
It's like a little zip up tent.
00:36:38.934 --> 00:36:39.443
yeah.
00:36:39.443 --> 00:36:43.103
And they come with some, or they come with an organic wooden stool.
00:36:43.103 --> 00:36:46.733
I think there are some options that have a red light that come and come with a bundle.
00:36:47.634 --> 00:36:54.054
And I don't know that we'll be getting that this year, but I see that they have some pretty deep discounts on their portable saunas.
00:36:54.083 --> 00:37:01.494
If you want to do a, uh, infrared option, finally, this one is pretty unbrand over here.
00:37:01.494 --> 00:37:02.844
I think I've mentioned it before.
00:37:02.994 --> 00:37:05.213
Their branding is hilarious.
00:37:05.244 --> 00:37:07.614
It's tushie bidet attachment.
00:37:07.853 --> 00:37:10.764
So if you can't get a day, everyone needs to have a clean ass.
00:37:10.905 --> 00:37:11.445
Yes.
00:37:11.505 --> 00:37:21.255
If you add it to your toilet, if you're the kind of friend who can gift your friend, a clean asshole for the holidays, go ahead and do that.
00:37:22.869 --> 00:37:23.318
yes.
00:37:23.358 --> 00:37:27.998
Just use it be careful when you use it because the spray is aggressive.
00:37:28.485 --> 00:37:29.085
There's a learning
00:37:29.139 --> 00:37:29.798
That's probably might come
00:37:29.835 --> 00:37:30.405
There's a learning
00:37:30.608 --> 00:37:30.938
Yeah.
00:37:30.969 --> 00:37:32.318
So be careful there.
00:37:32.318 --> 00:37:33.338
Branding's hilarious.
00:37:33.338 --> 00:37:34.248
tushie bidet.
00:37:34.268 --> 00:37:34.869
We like it.
00:37:34.869 --> 00:37:35.648
We love it.
00:37:36.548 --> 00:37:42.639
Now it's moving to some tasty things, kitchen stuff, also on brand here.
00:37:44.048 --> 00:37:48.699
So cookware, this is something that people as our clients ask us about a lot.
00:37:48.699 --> 00:37:51.878
I was just talking on a root cause reset call about this.
00:37:52.329 --> 00:37:59.889
But if you are able to upgrade your cookware, you don't need a whole big fancy set if you want one go for it.
00:38:00.219 --> 00:38:10.239
But I think a Dutch oven, something like a 12 inch skillet, maybe a medium sized sauce panel, or even like a 12 inch sauce pan or skillet can really do a
00:38:10.411 --> 00:38:11.431
Yeah, those are my three.
00:38:11.431 --> 00:38:13.170
Those are the three pans I use all the time.
00:38:13.170 --> 00:38:16.726
It's just like, Pots and pans, big old Dutch oven.
00:38:16.755 --> 00:38:26.806
Nice eightquart le cruset that is such a nice gift to get somebody that 12 inch cast enamel, enamel cast, iron skillet love it.
00:38:27.195 --> 00:38:33.166
Those are like always a great gift to give always a great gift to receive.
00:38:33.826 --> 00:38:34.815
And they're an investment
00:38:34.884 --> 00:38:36.744
they will last you a lifetime.
00:38:37.284 --> 00:38:40.043
They are an investment piece, but they last forever.
00:38:41.123 --> 00:38:45.893
The enamel cast iron is nice if you want a non-stick, but also really love stainless steel.
00:38:45.893 --> 00:38:49.884
Actually, a few years ago, I asked me all for all clad stainless steel pans.
00:38:49.884 --> 00:38:54.353
So that's another excellent brand that you will have forever if you take care of it.
00:38:55.014 --> 00:38:55.884
And we always love Dutch
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:56.380
Yeah.
00:38:58.043 --> 00:39:02.784
So, so delish, next up, I also asked as Neil for this last year was a new
00:39:02.920 -->
00:39:03.190
Yeah.
00:39:03.221 --> 00:39:06.431
Dani has gotten me a chef knife as a gift before it's such a great present.
00:39:08.228 --> 00:39:08.559
Is there.
00:39:08.588 --> 00:39:09.639
What brand do you have?
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:11.528
I think we have a either or
00:39:12.476 --> 00:39:14.965
I forgot what my most recent one is, but it is my favorite.
00:39:14.965 --> 00:39:22.885
And the thing is that we can tell you brands till the sun comes home, but really till the sun comes home, till the sun goes down and the cows come
00:39:23.168 --> 00:39:25.059
keep that till the sun
00:39:25.409 --> 00:39:28.735
Dani was just making fun of me that I butcher all expressions.
00:39:30.706 --> 00:39:36.465
That's good till the sun comes home, but when it comes to knives, you gotta like how it feels in your hand.
00:39:36.525 --> 00:39:43.186
Like, I had one really nice chef knife that my mom got me for my wedding and that it just didn't feel the weight didn't feel good to me.
00:39:43.186 --> 00:39:44.896
And it just was not my favorite.
00:39:45.135 --> 00:39:48.135
So I recommend going into a store.
00:39:48.135 --> 00:39:51.166
Did you know those still exist stores?
00:39:51.188 --> 00:39:53.139
Williams-Sonoma would probably be my best
00:39:53.385 --> 00:39:53.925
Yeah.
00:39:54.106 --> 00:39:59.146
Bed, bath, and beyond is a good option to just hold the knife and see how it feels.
00:40:00.090 --> 00:40:01.141
See how it feels for you.
00:40:01.268 --> 00:40:02.378
and maybe do a knife skills.
00:40:03.083 --> 00:40:03.833
Class or watch
00:40:04.001 --> 00:40:05.771
That's a great way.
00:40:06.070 --> 00:40:06.521
Yes.
00:40:06.550 --> 00:40:08.170
And that's a great way to gift.
00:40:08.170 --> 00:40:12.280
This is give someone a knife and a couple of knife skills classes.
00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:13.391
That's so fun.
00:40:14.483 --> 00:40:17.844
that's great for like a college age or like recently grad recent
00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:19.121
Or even a date night.
00:40:19.121 --> 00:40:21.400
Like I always, I love cooking classes.
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:24.641
Like I think it's really fun to learn new skills in the kitchen.
00:40:25.485 --> 00:40:25.876
Dani.
00:40:25.876 --> 00:40:28.876
I used to go to cooking classes, just like it was fun.
00:40:28.876 --> 00:40:30.615
I learned new skills, learn how to make pasta.
00:40:30.615 --> 00:40:37.576
Like even if it's something, you know, you'll pick up a new tip, learning from a different chef or a new cook, like it's fun.
00:40:37.695 --> 00:40:38.505
I think that's fun.
00:40:38.739 --> 00:40:39.248
yeah, it's fun.
00:40:39.278 --> 00:40:47.478
And that combines experience, but something that you can keep with you in your kitchen for full years, Neil, I gifted Neil, a sushi making class.
00:40:49.088 --> 00:40:51.293
I think sur le tab I don't we have one around here
00:40:51.615 --> 00:40:52.635
That they always have great
00:40:52.733 --> 00:40:53.364
those places.
00:40:55.494 -->
00:40:57.143
Um, also Yeti cups.
00:40:57.143 --> 00:40:59.034
I know Adina and her family loved these.
00:40:59.034 --> 00:41:01.673
I have on my desk right now from my dentist.
00:41:01.974 --> 00:41:03.384
I mean, amazing dentist.
00:41:03.483 --> 00:41:05.364
I think Dani was like, oh, can I come see them?
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:06.420
Dani is addicted to Yeti.
00:41:06.420 --> 00:41:07.320
This is what you need to know
00:41:08.708 --> 00:41:12.099
They really do keep things hot or cold if that's your thing.
00:41:12.099 --> 00:41:16.298
So similarly, a swell bottle with a fun design, they have so many beautiful designs.
00:41:16.909 --> 00:41:17.259
Actually.
00:41:17.259 --> 00:41:22.329
I think it's worth noting that you can find some of these items at places like home goods.
00:41:22.329 --> 00:41:25.539
So I've found enamel cast iron pans at home goods.
00:41:25.539 --> 00:41:30.369
I regret not buying one that I saw and I passed up or I've seen Yeti and swell bottles.
00:41:30.369 --> 00:41:31.509
They're too deeply discounted.
00:41:31.509 --> 00:41:32.699
So that will be a nice stocking.
00:41:33.641 --> 00:41:50.440
Another really fun present for someone who loves to cook, if they have not yet purchased an instant pot, that can be really fun because it can change the game for you, especially if you are a busy person that likes to get dinner on the table real quick, get yourself an
00:41:50.523 --> 00:41:52.833
yes, I seasonally.
00:41:52.833 --> 00:41:57.094
I see this on sale at Costco also at home goods.
00:41:57.094 --> 00:41:58.983
Sometimes I might find the smaller model
00:41:59.306 --> 00:42:00.655
Costco home goods.
00:42:00.686 --> 00:42:02.545
If you're listening sponsor us.
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:04.849
Yes, please.
00:42:05.059 --> 00:42:05.778
We have love that.
00:42:06.409 --> 00:42:08.748
Uh, so instant pot.
00:42:08.809 --> 00:42:09.409
Love it.
00:42:09.739 --> 00:42:13.338
Another one, if you have a bougie chef in your fam
00:42:14.306 --> 00:42:14.876
Yes.
00:42:15.018 --> 00:42:16.969
I've also seen this on sale at Costco recently.
00:42:16.969 --> 00:42:25.998
So this, if you want to make perfect steak, perfect fish, this will hold it at that such temperature that you decide on.
00:42:26.695 --> 00:42:27.056
Used to
00:42:27.378 --> 00:42:28.369
Not definitely, but
00:42:28.615 --> 00:42:35.635
it used to be a big restaurant cooking tool, and then it became more for the home cook.
00:42:35.695 --> 00:42:45.115
And if you don't have a CV yet, if you've been intimidated by it, it's really so easy to learn and just makes a consistently, perfectly cooked protein.
00:42:45.235 --> 00:42:46.646
It's pretty hard to mess it up.
00:42:47.778 --> 00:42:48.739
it's a lot of math.
00:42:48.858 --> 00:42:57.858
If you have not heard of this and we'll take our steak out of it and sear it on the stove or on the grill, whatever, or yeah, you can do so many things with it.
00:42:58.088 --> 00:42:59.449
Love this gadget.
00:43:01.085 --> 00:43:08.076
Next up for the kitchen, which is a little more of a personal touch is getting someone a really nice, personalized cutting board.
00:43:08.436 --> 00:43:09.815
I think that is such a sweet gift.
00:43:09.815 --> 00:43:14.916
Like monogramming it, or just putting something nice on there that makes it their cutting board.
00:43:14.916 --> 00:43:26.195
Because if you're a person who like enjoys the experience of cooking and prepping food, just having something that feels like it was purchased specially for you for that it's I don't know.
00:43:26.255 --> 00:43:26.856
I like it.
00:43:29.364 --> 00:43:29.994
Yes.
00:43:30.054 --> 00:43:30.293
Yeah.
00:43:30.324 --> 00:43:30.864
Upgrade.
00:43:31.344 --> 00:43:37.014
We've talked about upgrading things like your pants, your knives, maybe getting rid of that old cutting board.
00:43:37.043 --> 00:43:38.994
That's kind of warped like a plastic cutting board.
00:43:38.994 --> 00:43:39.384
That's worked.
00:43:39.384 --> 00:43:41.153
We just recently purged our kitchen.
00:43:41.574 --> 00:43:43.733
So nice wood cutting board.
00:43:43.733 --> 00:43:53.963
Get it personalized locally here in grand rapids, there is a man who is at the Friday farmer's market artisans market, and he hand carves wooden utensils and cutting boards.
00:43:53.963 --> 00:43:54.293
That really
00:43:54.295 --> 00:43:54.565
Yeah.
00:43:54.565 --> 00:43:59.425
That's a thing where I would really recommend supporting small business, supporting local, find an artisan.
00:43:59.876 --> 00:44:00.806
If it's local to you.
00:44:00.806 --> 00:44:01.496
That's awesome.
00:44:01.496 --> 00:44:06.356
If not tsy, that type of place where you can shop like marketplace style.
00:44:06.925 --> 00:44:09.505
There's no reason to buy this from big business.
00:44:09.536 --> 00:44:12.235
It's so much more special when someone is making this with their.
00:44:13.793 --> 00:44:15.923
yeah, there were some beautiful options on Etsy.
00:44:15.923 --> 00:44:20.753
I have a ton of things on my wishlist there, whether it's like handcart and made baskets,
00:44:20.786 --> 00:44:22.916
I thought, I thought Neil makes all your baskets.
00:44:24.744 --> 00:44:26.244
He does make them out of rural.
00:44:26.273 --> 00:44:26.784
Yeah, you can.
00:44:26.793 --> 00:44:29.483
Um, well, naughty Neal, K N O T T Y.
00:44:29.903 --> 00:44:30.293
Nodding.
00:44:30.293 --> 00:44:40.824
The all Etsy shop is not yet off, but I would love for him to sell some of his land, turn this macrame where I actually have a gift idea on our list here for Neil, but he's home.
00:44:40.824 --> 00:44:41.514
So I don't really want to
00:44:41.570 --> 00:44:42.380
Should I say it.
00:44:43.731 --> 00:44:44.271
Okay.
00:44:44.420 --> 00:44:50.570
Diane is getting Neil a soda stream, specifically the aquifers one, because you can use glass bottles for it.
00:44:50.811 --> 00:44:56.061
So if you have a partner who loves spicy water as my kids call it,
00:44:57.833 --> 00:44:58.193
That's a great
00:44:58.251 --> 00:44:58.911
yes.
00:44:59.090 --> 00:44:59.391
Then.
00:45:00.376 --> 00:45:08.385
The soda stream, something like that, where you can make it at home, especially if you're using those glass bottles, you will be saving his sheets load of plastic.
00:45:08.416 --> 00:45:09.166
If you do that.
00:45:10.523 --> 00:45:10.974
Yeah.
00:45:11.034 --> 00:45:11.873
And you know how I feel about.
00:45:12.699 --> 00:45:15.278
Forcing things to plastic and consuming things out of them.
00:45:15.278 --> 00:45:18.878
So get rid of your pods, your, if you have those coffee pod
00:45:19.126 --> 00:45:20.025
Yes.
00:45:20.085 --> 00:45:21.885
Oh, we didn't even talk about coffee.
00:45:21.885 --> 00:45:22.576
Let's do that.
00:45:22.996 --> 00:45:25.936
If you have a coffee lover in your family and you want to get them a special.
00:45:27.210 --> 00:45:28.621
I got Dani the other year.
00:45:28.681 --> 00:45:34.740
Um, the Cemex and that really pretty kettle with a thin, long spout.
00:45:34.981 --> 00:45:36.931
Is it called fellow what's the brand?
00:45:37.733 --> 00:45:43.134
We'll link it because it's also on my wish list, but you can set the degree that you desire.
00:45:43.224 --> 00:45:50.483
If you were making tea, if you're making your coffee and you want to be particular about it, we just kind of, I boil our water and just
00:45:50.731 --> 00:45:51.121
Diane.
00:45:51.121 --> 00:45:52.411
How was your coffee when you were here?
00:45:54.204 --> 00:45:54.713
it was
00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:55.670
Okay, perfect.
00:45:55.670 --> 00:45:57.021
So yes, it works.
00:45:57.170 --> 00:45:58.431
It makes a great cup of coffee.
00:45:58.701 --> 00:46:01.670
And the other one is the Breville espresso machine.
00:46:01.731 --> 00:46:02.960
That's the one I like to use.
00:46:03.260 --> 00:46:06.981
Um, it is a pricey item, but you can find it on sale this time of year.
00:46:07.460 --> 00:46:15.291
And that also makes a great cup of espresso and just a fun way to upgrade your coffee game.
00:46:16.418 --> 00:46:16.608
yeah.
00:46:16.628 --> 00:46:20.018
Or a few and a few people are going in on a gift for someone in your family.
00:46:20.079 --> 00:46:20.228
Yeah.
00:46:20.228 --> 00:46:23.018
The Breville coffee maker is gorgeous.
00:46:23.139 --> 00:46:25.568
I know that bed bath and beyond you can also use coupons on it.
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:26.018
I think.
00:46:27.264 --> 00:46:29.514
And those never expire as Abby from broad
00:46:29.786 --> 00:46:37.016
they used to not, they used to not now they actually check the expiration dates, especially if you use the app, because it will automatically delete the ones that are expired.
00:46:37.525 --> 00:46:39.206
Um, but you can always find one.
00:46:39.565 --> 00:46:44.905
And at peace obsession with bed bath and beyond is such a great character choice.
00:46:45.780 --> 00:46:46.621
So good.
00:46:46.860 --> 00:47:06.061
Um, but yeah, if you wanted to
make a really special coffee gift for a coffee lover, I would do the Chemex or even just the single cup pour over, like you put it on top of the single cup, the ceramic ones, and then that Cudi kettle with the little thin spout and then buy some local organic coffee or sign them up for a coffee subscription.
00:47:06.061 --> 00:47:11.641
Dani loves to like try different organic local coffees and even.
00:47:12.556 --> 00:47:13.996
And that's a really special gift too.
00:47:14.146 --> 00:47:15.585
There is a brand, I'll put it in the show notes.
00:47:15.585 --> 00:47:16.606
I forgot what it's called.
00:47:17.085 --> 00:47:18.646
Um, Hmm.
00:47:19.014 --> 00:47:19.373
Is that a.
00:47:19.726 --> 00:47:21.135
Is it grounds for change?
00:47:21.315 --> 00:47:22.576
It had a cute name like that.
00:47:22.905 --> 00:47:25.005
I'll look it up and we'll pop that in the show notes.
00:47:25.036 --> 00:47:29.146
It's a coffee subscription that sources really high quality coffee as well.
00:47:30.653 --> 00:47:34.824
I really love those theme gifts, which is our next section here assembly required.
00:47:34.824 --> 00:47:43.014
Or maybe you're doing a little bit of a theme here, so maybe you have a coffee lover and get them a few different items so that they can make their perfect cuppa or pot.
00:47:44.184 --> 00:47:47.364
Um, but framing, family photos and kids' artwork.
00:47:47.364 --> 00:47:48.204
This isn't like.
00:47:49.509 --> 00:47:59.259
Groundbreaking idea, but how often do we have photos just sitting on our phone or kids, artwork and things that are folder and folders put away.
00:47:59.378 --> 00:48:01.748
So frame something, I really like frame bridge.
00:48:01.838 --> 00:48:06.548
If you have a local place that can do a nice framing job before you definitely go check that out.
00:48:06.548 --> 00:48:12.458
But also similarly, really like Chatbooks or any of those, like drag and drop, make an
00:48:12.550 --> 00:48:13.090
Yeah.
00:48:13.570 --> 00:48:14.981
I always used to do stuff like that.
00:48:14.981 --> 00:48:16.900
That was always like my favorite gift thing.
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:24.820
And I think it's getting even more important to give those gifts because so many of us have just albums and albums on our phone and we never print those pictures.
00:48:24.820 --> 00:48:30.190
And we want to make sure that like, like I wanna make sure that my kids have pictures they can flip through when they grow up, you know?
00:48:30.190 --> 00:48:30.490
So.
00:48:31.081 --> 00:48:32.581
I am not great about it.
00:48:32.701 --> 00:48:33.360
Yeah.
00:48:33.451 --> 00:48:35.010
I'm not great about that kind of stuff.
00:48:35.010 --> 00:48:41.731
So I think that's a really nice gift putting together those books that I know Dani did that for me for mother's day, one year, and my kids like tear through it.
00:48:41.731 --> 00:48:44.820
They love looking at the pictures and talking about like where we were and what it was.
00:48:44.820 --> 00:48:46.231
It's like, we read it to them like a story.
00:48:46.231 --> 00:48:47.731
So that's fun.
00:48:48.481 --> 00:48:48.931
Yeah.
00:48:49.268 --> 00:48:49.798
This next one.
00:48:50.108 --> 00:48:53.358
Adina and I both love, which is a homemade spa kit
00:48:53.460 --> 00:48:53.590
Yeah.
00:48:54.429 --> 00:48:55.119
So make the
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:57.690
Get someone, a lovely detox bath kit.
00:48:57.690 --> 00:49:03.630
So maybe that's you buy them a bath tray if they like to read or relax with their computer in the bath.
00:49:03.990 --> 00:49:09.570
Um, the beauty counter body oils is part of the, they have a bath oil set as part of the holiday side.
00:49:09.570 --> 00:49:18.510
So you could pair it with that and then maybe get some magnesium flakes from ancient minerals, which are my favorite magnesium flakes, and that package it up in a little basket.
00:49:18.570 --> 00:49:20.010
And it's so cute.
00:49:21.278 --> 00:49:21.938
Yes.
00:49:21.969 --> 00:49:25.059
I know there are places that make baskets and such, but I feel.
00:49:26.079 --> 00:49:29.559
The products that are inside and maybe aren't necessarily what we might
00:49:29.831 --> 00:49:33.911
What you don't want a bath bomb with like 3000 artificial fragrances in it.
00:49:34.358 --> 00:49:36.128
aggressively scented.
00:49:36.128 --> 00:49:36.699
Yeah.
00:49:37.148 --> 00:49:39.818
Uh, or, yeah, just not into it.
00:49:40.028 --> 00:49:41.708
So love that idea.
00:49:41.858 --> 00:49:43.809
We love a good bath moment over here.
00:49:44.574 --> 00:49:45.594
Subscriptions.
00:49:45.623 --> 00:49:48.054
So these are the gifts that keep giving.
00:49:48.054 --> 00:49:54.983
I know you can decide on different intervals or packages, but this one is a annual subscription and it's thrived market.
00:49:55.014 --> 00:49:56.423
My root cause, reset clients.
00:49:56.423 --> 00:49:58.313
I know that I love this.
00:49:58.643 --> 00:50:04.014
I have a link for a discount that you can get off your first order, but you can also gift this as a subscription.
00:50:04.014 --> 00:50:07.014
So it's basically think of like all your favorite healthy.
00:50:07.744 --> 00:50:11.884
Food brands, personal care items, uh, body care, even things for pets.
00:50:12.333 --> 00:50:14.313
They also have fresh foods on there now.
00:50:14.313 --> 00:50:19.353
So frozen, like frozen meat, seafood, so thrive market.
00:50:19.474 --> 00:50:25.233
I think I originally subscribed to thrive market because I wanted discounts on CFA chips and my favorite grain-free chips.
00:50:25.594 --> 00:50:27.994
They have the best deal so you can get great discounts there.
00:50:28.474 --> 00:50:28.893
Lovable.
00:50:29.231 --> 00:50:38.650
that's a win-win win-win as Michael Scott would say, because if you gift it to someone, your subscription also gifts, a subscription to a lower income family.
00:50:39.190 --> 00:50:42.641
And so it is the gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving.
00:50:44.889 -->
00:50:45.068
Love.
00:50:45.271 --> 00:50:47.010
next one is a favorite of mine.
00:50:47.101 --> 00:50:55.981
And I know Diane has gifted it to some people too, and it is the company Grove and vine and it is this only ologist, which did you know, that's the thing.
00:50:56.130 --> 00:51:03.420
He is studies olives, and he travels around the world to different groves and puts together.
00:51:04.456 --> 00:51:10.695
Bottles his own line of olive oils from these different groves around the world.
00:51:10.936 --> 00:51:12.255
So we get it.
00:51:12.436 --> 00:51:19.735
I think it comes quarterly and it comes with a little picture of the Grove and a little story about where it's from and a recipe of what to use it in.
00:51:19.735 --> 00:51:24.106
And it talks about like the flavor notes and what to finish dishes with and all that good stuff.
00:51:24.135 --> 00:51:25.635
And it is a really special gift.
00:51:26.056 --> 00:51:29.925
The olive oil tastes like nothing you've tasted before it is super high quality.
00:51:29.925 --> 00:51:33.240
It is bottled right there on the grove during the harvest.
00:51:33.240 --> 00:51:33.501
It's.
00:51:33.501 --> 00:51:34.231
It's awesome.
00:51:34.958 --> 00:51:36.188
so delicious.
00:51:36.458 --> 00:51:38.478
I'm so glad that you told me about this because I.
00:51:39.338 --> 00:51:45.909
As wedding gifts, a couple of times, including to one of my best friends, she and her husband were in the wedding.
00:51:45.938 --> 00:51:50.079
They were in the restaurant industry and they said it was their favorite wedding gift.
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:51.489
It was something that they looked forward to.
00:51:51.489 --> 00:51:55.929
And I went to her house and she showed me what was included with our last delivery.
00:51:55.958 --> 00:52:03.248
The note, the story, some photos, it was so beautifully done and it was really delicious.
00:52:03.278 --> 00:52:08.409
So if you have some food lovers in your family, or if you want to get this for yourself, grove and vine
00:52:08.431 --> 00:52:09.690
this is my favorite one on the list.
00:52:09.690 --> 00:52:12.451
I think this is the most special gift out of all the things we mentioned.
00:52:12.451 --> 00:52:17.701
Like if you give this to someone, they will be really delighted and surprised and enjoy it throughout this.
00:52:19.411 --> 00:52:21.840
This next one is for new parents.
00:52:22.951 --> 00:52:24.030
Adina told me about it.
00:52:24.030 --> 00:52:25.050
I'm so excited about it.
00:52:25.050 --> 00:52:31.411
And I'm hoping that a couple of new mamas that I'm pressed with don't listen to this yet because they may be getting this.
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:33.271
So act surprised if you do hear it.
00:52:33.630 --> 00:52:38.130
And that is love every, and it is a subscription toy box.
00:52:38.161 --> 00:52:38.311
Is that.
00:52:39.336 --> 00:52:39.757
Yeah.
00:52:39.786 --> 00:52:42.516
And it's specifically a Montessori inspired toys.
00:52:42.516 --> 00:52:43.177
So they're very.
00:52:44.146 --> 00:52:49.277
Open-ended a lot of wooden non-toxic toys and just, it's a really special gift.
00:52:49.516 --> 00:52:50.896
It is on the pricier end.
00:52:50.896 --> 00:52:52.996
So maybe this is something you ask a grandparent for.
00:52:52.996 --> 00:53:01.967
If you're a new mom, if that is someone who likes to get you those higher ticket gifts, but it is a really special subscription service.
00:53:02.086 --> 00:53:06.197
The toys they send every month are developmentally appropriate for the age of the kid.
00:53:06.197 --> 00:53:11.387
So I think it goes from zero to four years old, I believe.
00:53:11.867 --> 00:53:12.376
And the
00:53:12.536 --> 00:53:13.646
it looks like zero to three.
00:53:14.541 --> 00:53:17.992
Yeah, the products are so special, like really special toys.
00:53:17.992 --> 00:53:19.882
They will be your kids' favorite toy for sure.
00:53:20.161 --> 00:53:22.320
I'm looking at them right now and they're beautifully done.
00:53:22.590 --> 00:53:35.731
I mean, there's so much junk out there and how cool that this is learning focused, but appropriate for kiddos at different ages, because when I'm choosing gifts for friends, kids, I'm like, uh, what does that three-year-old they're like reading, right.
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:36.510
And I'm not sure.
00:53:36.541 --> 00:53:39.141
So I like that this takes the guesswork.
00:53:40.181 --> 00:53:40.601
Yeah.
00:53:40.632 --> 00:53:51.581
When I, when people get my kids presents and they like make a lot of noise or are giant plastic things, I'm just like, can we not
00:53:51.661 --> 00:53:53.670
You don't want a drum set for your two-year-old?
00:53:54.641 --> 00:54:03.431
There's some of our kids friends' houses where like the playroom is just cacophonous is like so many different singing toys are going off at the same time.
00:54:03.791 --> 00:54:06.222
And Dani and I always joke, like, I don't know if you ever saw that meme.
00:54:07.211 --> 00:54:11.021
My villain origin story is that two conversations were happening next to me at the same
00:54:11.425 --> 00:54:12.115
Yes.
00:54:12.402 --> 00:54:16.572
Whenever I hear those noisy toys, I'm like, this is my villain origin story right
00:54:16.585 --> 00:54:17.996
about to snap.
00:54:18.385 --> 00:54:18.865
Yeah.
00:54:18.956 --> 00:54:23.905
I thought that a ball wasn't a pretty, um, harmless toy
00:54:24.501 --> 00:54:24.981
Oh my God.
00:54:25.012 --> 00:54:25.192
Eight.
00:54:25.192 --> 00:54:25.942
We'll be busy with that.
00:54:25.972 --> 00:54:26.961
First of all, he still calls it.
00:54:26.961 --> 00:54:27.742
Diane Ball.
00:54:27.771 --> 00:54:30.382
Diane got Abe ball when she came and.
00:54:31.436 --> 00:54:36.896
It will be Diane Ball for eternity, but yeah, that kid can be busy with a ball for eternity.
00:54:37.166 --> 00:54:43.885
So love every, and we'll have this in the show notes again, but it's L O V E V E R Y.
00:54:44.215 --> 00:54:44.516
Various.
00:54:46.166 --> 00:54:47.036
Very cute.
00:54:47.260 --> 00:54:49.061
This final one, this one.
00:54:50.021 --> 00:54:58.271
Why do I feel like Dwight Schrute recommending this, but you've heard us talk about dairy high quality dairy in past episodes.
00:54:58.780 --> 00:55:10.481
If you know someone your life, or if you want to treat yourself to this highly recommend supporting local farmer and doing a herd share or raw milk share unprocessed milk, share whatever you want to call.
00:55:10.530 --> 00:55:11.911
Laws vary by state.
00:55:11.911 --> 00:55:13.621
So check out real milk.com.
00:55:13.650 --> 00:55:24.990
But if you are able to do a subscription support, a local local farmer, what it might look like is picking up milk, high quality milk from happy cows.
00:55:25.021 --> 00:55:26.010
We love to see it.
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:29.431
This is something that we started this past summer.
00:55:30.286 --> 00:55:31.996
And we're actually picking up our milk today.
00:55:32.115 --> 00:55:34.695
We're recording on Wednesday, but love it.
00:55:34.755 --> 00:55:41.686
And it's a nutrient dense, delicious way to love on you, your health and your family's health all year round.
00:55:42.266 --> 00:55:44.501
great call that you feel like Dwight, she recommending that.
00:55:44.532 --> 00:55:47.141
Like, I feel like he's like Christmas presents.
00:55:47.172 --> 00:55:49.121
I just get everyone I know are raw milkshakes.
00:55:49.365 --> 00:55:49.996
Yeah.
00:55:51.376 --> 00:55:53.726
Maybe there's like a beet basket that you can subscribe.
00:55:54.702 --> 00:55:55.152
Yeah.
00:55:55.242 --> 00:55:55.512
That's
00:55:55.695 --> 00:55:55.996
Y.
00:55:56.175 --> 00:56:05.266
Yeah, but big fans, local, we support two sparrows farm, but check out real milk.com to see what the laws are near you or where you can find a local farmer.
00:56:05.976 --> 00:56:15.157
Yeah, you might feel illegal doing it because like in New Jersey, we have to pick our milk up from like the end of someone's driveway in a deserted alley.
00:56:16.027 --> 00:56:16.447
Um,
00:56:16.576 --> 00:56:17.746
Real quietly.
00:56:18.315 --> 00:56:18.405
Okay.
00:56:18.516 --> 00:56:19.416
you some real milk.
00:56:19.606 --> 00:56:24.286
In Florida, there are some stores where my clients can purchase and it says not for human consumption.
00:56:24.286 --> 00:56:27.615
They're like, wait, but it's just this weird loophole.
00:56:28.126 --> 00:56:29.925
Go back to our, all things about dairy episode.
00:56:29.925 --> 00:56:36.255
If you want to learn more about what we mean by unprocessed and why you don't need to be scared about it, scared of it.
00:56:37.335 --> 00:56:41.115
But yeah, if you still have bubble guts with that, call us, we can help you.
00:56:41.597 --> 00:56:42.226
it hit us up.
00:56:42.617 --> 00:56:42.976
All right.
00:56:42.976 --> 00:56:43.847
This next category.
00:56:43.847 --> 00:56:45.016
So that's it for subscriptions.
00:56:45.016 --> 00:56:50.867
This next category is
courses slash continuing education and.
00:56:51.601 --> 00:56:52.771
This is it for me?
00:56:52.771 --> 00:56:54.902
This is the present I like to gift myself.
00:56:55.202 --> 00:56:56.762
I got my eye on some courses.
00:56:56.762 --> 00:57:00.842
And then when they go on sale or they offer a bonus, that's when I get into it.
00:57:00.842 --> 00:57:02.731
So that's what I'm doing with my black Friday.
00:57:02.731 --> 00:57:07.411
Spendings is just the training, continuing ed that I was planning on doing in January.
00:57:07.860 --> 00:57:15.311
Yeah, Actually I like to accumulate courses and revisit some that I've invested in.
00:57:15.311 --> 00:57:21.371
So actually over this holiday weekend, I'm going to be diving into that as y'all have heard us say, like to be learned at all.
00:57:21.371 --> 00:57:22.260
It's not know at all.
00:57:22.661 --> 00:57:23.471
I am.
00:57:23.501 --> 00:57:25.570
So looking forward to this, I actually invested.
00:57:26.306 --> 00:57:32.065
Last month, but in February, I'll be doing continuing ed program with gala darling.
00:57:32.096 --> 00:57:35.936
It's a tapping certification, EFT emotional freedom techniques.
00:57:35.936 --> 00:57:38.096
So I'm really, really excited about that.
00:57:38.936 --> 00:57:39.746
That is on the horizon.
00:57:39.746 --> 00:57:43.436
That's my, my education investment for this.
00:57:44.822 --> 00:57:45.512
Yes.
00:57:45.541 --> 00:57:51.782
And if you are looking to make an education investment, we highly recommend the gyst mini course.
00:57:51.782 --> 00:57:58.052
You've heard us talking about it, but we've beefed it up a little bit, made it a little juicy, some meat and potatoes
00:57:58.331 --> 00:57:59.260
beefed it up.
00:57:59.860 --> 00:58:00.490
Yeah.
00:58:00.697 --> 00:58:01.777
it up for the holiday season.
00:58:01.777 --> 00:58:11.407
We added a whole bunch of new fall and holiday recipes and anyone who joins the gyst mini chorus between Friday when this episode launches.
00:58:11.407 --> 00:58:16.947
So november 26, I'm like looking at the day-to-day and I just can't figure out what day Friday is.
00:58:17.427 --> 00:58:18.536
Um, and December.
00:58:19.396 --> 00:58:23.416
You will be invited to join a live workout with me and Diane.
00:58:23.836 --> 00:58:25.246
So I'll be coaching you up.
00:58:25.306 --> 00:58:31.067
We'll be getting you moving so that you have a better handle on how to use the four week workout program.
00:58:31.067 --> 00:58:33.527
That's already inside the gyst mini course.
00:58:33.947 --> 00:58:36.106
And don't worry if you're listening to this.
00:58:36.106 --> 00:58:41.237
And you're like, I bought the gyst mini course a month ago, or I am a go getter.
00:58:41.237 --> 00:58:42.556
I bought it right when you launched it.
00:58:42.556 --> 00:58:43.456
I want a live workout.
00:58:44.192 --> 00:58:47.581
Anyone who was inside the chorus will be invited to this workout.
00:58:47.702 --> 00:58:53.251
So we see you guys putting it in your car not purchasing it.
00:58:53.282 --> 00:58:54.452
We get a notification.
00:58:54.692 --> 00:58:57.481
So dust off that cart and grab it.
00:58:57.512 --> 00:58:59.702
This is the lowest investment to work with us.
00:59:01.036 --> 00:59:09.137
You guys, if you like the gyst branding, the branding inside the mini courses, like the slides, the gifts, it is such a fun chorus.
00:59:09.137 --> 00:59:11.387
It is edutainment at its finest.
00:59:11.416 --> 00:59:13.487
So we highly recommend it.
00:59:13.487 --> 00:59:15.257
And honestly, it's worth it for the cookbook.
00:59:15.420 --> 00:59:16.021
Yes.
00:59:16.050 --> 00:59:16.260
Yeah.
00:59:16.260 --> 00:59:17.311
We've talked about the bonuses.
00:59:17.311 --> 00:59:24.481
So the cookbook, we continue to add our favorite recipes from our, what are we consuming segments there?
00:59:24.811 --> 00:59:28.860
We also have a four week program workout program from Adine but also.
00:59:29.581 --> 00:59:30.900
I mean potatoes.
00:59:30.990 --> 00:59:36.811
The four self paced modules will help you get your shit together, or at least start getting it together.
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:41.911
Some of you have damned us and told us how much you are loving learning from the show.
00:59:41.911 --> 00:59:45.900
So if you love the show and what we put down here, you are going to love the modules.
00:59:46.681 --> 00:59:48.481
This is the lowest investment to work with us.
00:59:48.481 --> 00:59:52.860
So don't sleep on it, dust off that cart and get your shit together with our mini.
00:59:53.931 --> 00:59:54.621
Yeah.
00:59:55.311 --> 00:59:56.242
All right.
00:59:56.331 --> 01:00:00.711
What our next category is going to be things that you can wear.
01:00:01.251 --> 01:00:12.911
So I love a wearable gift, especially if it's something that you'll get a whole bunch of use out of, but something that I am eyeing and I think is a really fun gift for someone who is conscious about movement or.
01:00:13.567 --> 01:00:20.916
Conscious about the way their body exists on this earth is zero shoes, barefoot boots.
01:00:20.947 --> 01:00:27.297
So maybe you're looking toward the winter and you're thinking about getting some warm boots, maybe ones that are.
01:00:28.117 --> 01:00:30.606
Appropriate for taking to the woods.
01:00:30.637 --> 01:00:31.927
As you know, I like to do.
01:00:32.617 --> 01:00:35.257
And maybe you're thinking about your foot health.
01:00:35.436 --> 01:00:43.416
Maybe if you're not thinking about your foot health, you want to go back and give a listen to our episode, all about your feet, which is putting your best foot forward.
01:00:43.626 --> 01:00:45.246
Are your feet, the source of your pain.
01:00:45.666 --> 01:00:52.056
So in that episode, we started to break down why you should be thinking about your foot health, but some barefoot boots is a great idea.
01:00:52.056 --> 01:00:58.416
If you are a person who spends a lot of time in boots and trudges around in them, You'll be able to
use those puppies way better.
01:00:58.507 --> 01:01:02.166
If those shoes are designed for the way feet were intended to be used.
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:04.891
I really want to see what a barefoot boot looks like.
01:01:05.527 --> 01:01:08.467
yeah, it's just like a barefoot sneaker, like the wide toe box.
01:01:08.467 --> 01:01:09.996
The sole is really flexible,
01:01:10.101 --> 01:01:10.490
Oh, okay.
01:01:10.490 --> 01:01:11.121
They're not
01:01:11.677 --> 01:01:12.577
they're not horrible.
01:01:12.637 --> 01:01:13.206
I know,
01:01:13.371 --> 01:01:15.891
I thought it was going to be one with like the individual, like toes.
01:01:15.891 --> 01:01:16.190
Have you seen.
01:01:16.266 --> 01:01:18.157
no, never, no, I wouldn't do that to you.
01:01:18.246 --> 01:01:23.827
No, it's just a wider toe box and we're so used to the style of narrow toe boxes.
01:01:25.117 --> 01:01:26.737
Ever since I've been wearing barefoot shoes.
01:01:26.737 --> 01:01:31.237
When I put on a pair of my narrow shoes, I'm just like, oh, this?
01:01:31.237 --> 01:01:32.556
isn't what my feet were supposed to do.
01:01:32.976 --> 01:01:42.367
Um, but yeah, if you are looking for a little bit more of the modern fashion boot, I do really love the, for lined doc Martins.
01:01:42.396 --> 01:01:44.137
They are like a slip on Chelsea boot.
01:01:44.137 --> 01:01:44.737
I've had them for a
01:01:44.811 --> 01:01:45.201
Okay.
01:01:45.201 --> 01:01:46.940
Gen Z is Zoomer.
01:01:47.317 --> 01:01:51.547
you know, I'm, I'm actually, it's a throwback to like early nineties for me.
01:01:51.547 --> 01:01:53.047
I had those in kindergarten, you know,
01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:54.621
I remember looking they're hot.
01:01:54.650 --> 01:01:56.001
They are a clunky.
01:01:56.496 --> 01:01:59.376
Yeah, but I love these because, okay.
01:01:59.376 --> 01:02:09.847
This is something you can relate to if, especially if you are a new mom and you baby wear, and you like to like where your child, and then you have your toddler on your hip and you're holding everyone's snow gear.
01:02:09.847 --> 01:02:14.646
And you're trying to get out the front door, having snow boots that slip on.
01:02:15.336 --> 01:02:19.896
That you do not need your hands to tie is a game changer.
01:02:20.166 --> 01:02:20.766
Okay.
01:02:21.306 --> 01:02:26.766
I no longer purchase anything that needs to be laced up because it is not mom footwear.
01:02:27.876 --> 01:02:33.516
Yeah, I'm thinking of the Adirondack boots I've had for like 12 years.
01:02:33.516 --> 01:02:34.596
They are sturdy.
01:02:34.626 --> 01:02:35.856
They are so amazing.
01:02:35.856 --> 01:02:39.545
They still look new, but getting them on is a workout in itself.
01:02:40.235 --> 01:02:42.096
It's not easy.
01:02:42.507 --> 01:02:42.867
Yeah.
01:02:43.056 --> 01:02:44.286
I'm adding these to my cart.
01:02:44.315 --> 01:02:46.775
These doc Martens slip on Chelsea boot.
01:02:47.405 --> 01:02:48.786
Berlind okay.
01:02:48.786 --> 01:02:50.706
We have a few trends happening here, but I think they're all.
01:02:50.766 --> 01:02:53.016
I always thought that doc Martins look cool.
01:02:53.315 --> 01:02:54.755
Uh, doc Martins, Chelsea.
01:02:56.226 --> 01:02:56.766
Love it,
01:02:57.211 --> 01:02:57.422
yeah.
01:02:57.422 --> 01:03:00.362
And there, they have like a nice track on the bottom too.
01:03:00.632 --> 01:03:06.152
So like, my issue with Uggs is while they are so warm and fuzzy, the bottom is so slippery.
01:03:06.181 --> 01:03:06.452
Like you
01:03:06.456 --> 01:03:12.005
the ones I'm talking about that Darren duck ones, they have some that are ankle height and then some that are just below my knee.
01:03:12.005 --> 01:03:12.755
That's what I have.
01:03:13.025 --> 01:03:19.626
They have Vibram soles on the bottom, like sturdy snow boots, but yeah, the standard of be slipping and sliding.
01:03:20.411 --> 01:03:20.891
Yeah.
01:03:20.922 --> 01:03:22.271
But yeah, these Chelsea boots have served me.
01:03:22.271 --> 01:03:23.262
Well, I love them.
01:03:23.262 --> 01:03:24.612
I haven't had to replace them yet.
01:03:24.612 --> 01:03:27.641
They're really holding up nicely and yeah.
01:03:27.672 --> 01:03:31.331
Slip on boots for line waterproof, like get after it.
01:03:31.431 --> 01:03:34.161
adding to my cart right now.
01:03:34.731 --> 01:03:38.092
And then my other faves are just like a fleecy jacket.
01:03:38.152 --> 01:03:42.021
I think everyone loves a sturdy fleecy jacket.
01:03:42.411 --> 01:03:49.612
Two of my favorite brands, Patagonia and Athleta, both B corporations like lifetime warranty on Patagonia.
01:03:49.612 --> 01:03:51.411
I believe really great.
01:03:51.411 --> 01:03:55.431
Outerwear Dani is addicted to Patagonias, which is a joke of ours.
01:03:55.461 --> 01:03:59.902
If you watched happy endings, when they make fun of Dave that he's addicted to, v-necks like, that's a joke.
01:03:59.902 --> 01:04:02.391
We make it in our house a lot about Dani and his Patagonia's.
01:04:03.577 --> 01:04:04.056
But yeah.
01:04:04.086 --> 01:04:11.047
Get yourself or get a friend partner like such a good gift is a nice fleece and the other really cute trendy ones.
01:04:11.047 --> 01:04:16.297
Are those aloe yoga, the crop sweatshirt or the big like bear hug one.
01:04:16.340 --> 01:04:20.990
Yeah, I love a wearable gift giving them, receiving them.
01:04:21.650 --> 01:04:26.210
Um, along that same note, I've seen some fleece they're brown, like the Teddy coats.
01:04:26.210 --> 01:04:29.420
I think they're calling them and it just looks like fried chicken to me.
01:04:29.900 --> 01:04:32.320
Like, I want to look like a cozy piece of fried.
01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:40.431
So that's like my that's my wardrobe aesthetic this fall to look like my pug or pieces of delicious food.
01:04:41.806 --> 01:04:42.556
Perfect.
01:04:42.586 --> 01:04:43.306
We love it.
01:04:43.971 --> 01:04:44.271
Yeah.
01:04:44.300 --> 01:04:46.070
There's also the Costco fleas.
01:04:46.550 -->
01:04:46.840
Oh.
01:04:46.851 --> 01:04:47.751
I was like meal.
01:04:47.811 --> 01:04:48.501
I told me all that.
01:04:48.501 --> 01:04:53.570
I wanted a Patagonia fleece because they last so long and he's like, damn, you could get five Costco.
01:04:54.576 --> 01:04:55.235
For that same price.
01:04:55.235 --> 01:04:59.195
And I said, yeah, but then I'm going to throw them away every couple of years and it's just not sustainable.
01:04:59.195 --> 01:05:04.775
And he's like, Diane, you could have five, you could have a full cap, Costco collection, every color.
01:05:05.311 --> 01:05:07.141
The Caitlin man, you should model for that.
01:05:07.141 --> 01:05:07.981
Caitlin rad.
01:05:08.826 --> 01:05:09.755
Costco sponsoree.
01:05:10.626 --> 01:05:10.985
Okay.
01:05:10.985 --> 01:05:13.065
Another wearable jewelry.
01:05:13.536 --> 01:05:17.106
But cordless gorgeous.
01:05:17.106 --> 01:05:19.266
I've seen, I mean, you introduced me to this brand.
01:05:19.266 --> 01:05:20.076
I don't have one yet.
01:05:20.871 --> 01:05:23.570
Also in the DMS helped dani pick something out for you when you're.
01:05:24.177 --> 01:05:24.626
Yeah.
01:05:24.987 --> 01:05:29.367
So this is the benchmark collection and it is a female artist.
01:05:29.577 --> 01:05:33.987
Her name is Jal and she hand makes jewelry for strong.
01:05:34.742 --> 01:05:40.711
They are wait plates that she makes little kettlebells, they are gold, silver rose gold.
01:05:40.742 --> 01:05:44.731
I have the little weight plates with my kids' birthdays and names on them.
01:05:45.211 --> 01:05:51.271
And they are just so sweet because that is the moment in which I felt like the strongest version of myself when I birthed my kids.
01:05:51.632 --> 01:05:54.061
Um, so yeah, those are really special to me.
01:05:54.092 --> 01:05:54.842
They are handmade.
01:05:54.842 --> 01:05:55.442
They're beautiful.
01:05:56.152 --> 01:06:00.231
And they have that extra little sass because it's not just like a little charm.
01:06:00.231 --> 01:06:06.291
It's like here's a weight plate or a kettlebell just to let y'all know that I like dainty things, but I could kick your ass.
01:06:07.025 --> 01:06:07.385
Yes.
01:06:07.416 --> 01:06:08.376
And squat your ass.
01:06:10.670 --> 01:06:12.650
I didn't know that you could personalize and that's really cool.
01:06:13.190 --> 01:06:14.360
I final wearable.
01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:18.411
I believe we've mentioned this before to blue light blockers, but.
01:06:19.416 --> 01:06:20.766
Blue light blockers.
01:06:20.766 --> 01:06:30.155
I know a few years ago it was really hot to see these little computer cute frame glasses that just have a slight sheen on the lens, but those don't cut it after dark.
01:06:30.215 --> 01:06:31.746
So we're talking true.
01:06:31.985 --> 01:06:32.945
Blue light blockers.
01:06:32.945 --> 01:06:34.295
I personally love blue blocks.
01:06:34.295 --> 01:06:37.385
I think you have some as well, right prescription from them.
01:06:37.445 --> 01:06:41.376
So it's B L U B L O X.
01:06:41.525 --> 01:06:42.786
Blue blocks will link
01:06:42.907 --> 01:06:43.956
We'll put that in the show notes.
01:06:43.956 --> 01:06:44.257
Yeah.
01:06:44.465 --> 01:06:45.096
so many.
01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.460
Before them just did not have very cute frames.
01:06:49.460 --> 01:06:51.981
Not that you have to have a cute frame, but why can't we have both?
01:06:51.981 --> 01:06:58.431
Why can't we have a nice style, a nice frame and something that effectively blocks out blue light.
01:06:58.911 --> 01:07:02.780
So I think they've done a nice job, but their variety of frames.
01:07:04.242 --> 01:07:05.561
Yeah, I think those are cute.
01:07:05.621 --> 01:07:12.492
And again, like, if you want to get the real deal, don't be afraid to get those Amber tinted lenses.
01:07:12.882 --> 01:07:16.152
If you're just wearing them at home at night when you're watching Netflix
01:07:16.190 --> 01:07:18.860
wore them at the airport after I left your house
01:07:19.632 --> 01:07:21.641
Well there is that like Bano flare to it.
01:07:21.641 --> 01:07:25.961
I feel like people might think you were being, you were making a choice for your fashion.
01:07:26.240 --> 01:07:28.820
it's just so bright in the airport.
01:07:28.820 --> 01:07:31.161
So many blue lights I slept.
01:07:31.190 --> 01:07:32.391
Well, when I came home, that was nice.
01:07:32.992 --> 01:07:33.681
That's good.
01:07:33.862 --> 01:07:34.641
That's what we want.
01:07:34.972 --> 01:07:38.902
So yeah, blue blocks or some other blue light blockers.
01:07:38.931 --> 01:07:39.711
We like that.
01:07:40.222 --> 01:07:43.311
And this last category is for training.
01:07:44.001 --> 01:07:46.822
So, you know, you've heard me say it
01:07:47.076 --> 01:07:47.675
Peloton.
01:07:48.592 --> 01:07:48.891
Yeah.
01:07:48.922 --> 01:07:50.061
Get yourself a Peloton.
01:07:50.061 --> 01:07:50.992
This Christmas.
01:07:52.536 --> 01:07:57.996
If you are, if you do have a Peloton, the only acceptable coach that I will let you take their classes.
01:07:58.027 --> 01:08:04.867
My friend Daniel, the Irish yank, he recently started working with Peloton and he's just a great all around.
01:08:04.867 --> 01:08:05.436
Great dude.
01:08:05.496 --> 01:08:09.336
So take Daniel's classes if you do have a Peloton, but no, I'm not talking about Peloton.
01:08:09.996 --> 01:08:12.606
I am talking about some kettlebells.
01:08:12.936 --> 01:08:18.367
I recently got a question in my question box asking, can you link equipment for building a home gym?
01:08:18.846 --> 01:08:25.987
And I just dropped kettlebell King's website because all you need is a couple of kettlebells and you can get so much done.
01:08:26.317 --> 01:08:29.287
So grab yourself some kettlebells kettlebell.
01:08:29.287 --> 01:08:32.737
Kings is my favorite brand and they are doing a black Friday sale.
01:08:33.037 --> 01:08:34.237
They will last you forever.
01:08:34.266 --> 01:08:35.856
They have a lifetime warranty.
01:08:35.886 --> 01:08:36.846
They have free shipping.
01:08:36.877 --> 01:08:37.926
So they are.
01:08:39.322 --> 01:08:46.612
Generally pricier than other kettlebell brands, but all of my clients who have bought like shitty kettlebells ended up returning them, buying higher quality ones.
01:08:46.701 --> 01:08:48.201
you can feel the difference.
01:08:48.261 --> 01:08:54.980
So can you briefly share, like what makes it these better quality than something you might pick up at like target?
01:08:55.805 --> 01:08:56.796
Dick's sporting goods.
01:08:57.332 --> 01:08:57.662
yeah.
01:08:57.662 --> 01:09:00.931
So first of all, they're cast iron they're powder coated cast iron.
01:09:00.931 --> 01:09:06.231
So they just feel better in your hands, but it's all about that shape of the bell, the sturdiness of the ballet, some people by the.
01:09:06.981 --> 01:09:15.412
Either the adjustable ones, which I get it, it's so hard to pass up on a deal when you don't know if you're going to love kettlebells, but the shape of the adjustable ones is just so clunky.
01:09:15.952 --> 01:09:24.981
And when you're learning how to hold a belt properly on your wrist or press it overhead or swing it or clean it, like the shape of the bell really matters in the way that it travels in space.
01:09:25.252 --> 01:09:26.572
So, yeah,
01:09:27.036 --> 01:09:27.935
I love these
01:09:28.221 --> 01:09:29.122
is my go-to.
01:09:29.466 --> 01:09:35.015
and that free shipping when you're getting like 45 pound kettlebell, plus maybe a couple of others.
01:09:35.015 --> 01:09:38.466
They have some sets too, which is really nice, but you'd really don't need a lot.
01:09:38.466 --> 01:09:41.256
I know in a Dina's program, she says that you start out with two, right?
01:09:41.256 --> 01:09:45.065
So you really can start with a couple and work your way up
01:09:45.747 --> 01:09:49.707
Yeah, get yourself some kettlebells, save your spot and strength training for happy hormones.
01:09:49.737 --> 01:09:51.306
And you are just setting yourself up for.
01:09:52.626 --> 01:10:02.435
Um, speaking of kettlebells, almost have this too, and I'm sure it is not something that people, I really wonder how sturdy that says it's from CB two.
01:10:02.466 --> 01:10:04.926
It's a marble Kevin kettlebell.
01:10:05.752 --> 01:10:06.171
Huh?
01:10:06.246 --> 01:10:07.985
did it, why do we need this?
01:10:07.985 --> 01:10:13.416
It's beautiful, but I really wonder what happens if someone were to try to swing this around.
01:10:14.421 --> 01:10:15.261
I don't think you do.
01:10:15.292 --> 01:10:17.362
I feel like it's just for, for show.
01:10:17.541 --> 01:10:23.211
You said it in your gym next to your Peloton that you'll hang clothes on top of, because you don't want to use that anymore.
01:10:24.306 --> 01:10:26.976
Yeah, yeah.
01:10:27.006 --> 01:10:27.697
Kettlebell Kings.
01:10:27.697 --> 01:10:28.386
That's the way to go.
01:10:28.671 --> 01:10:29.301
You're
01:10:30.247 --> 01:10:34.237
And this last one is just cute, active wear matching sets.
01:10:34.957 --> 01:10:38.766
Um, I've talked about Athleta quite a bit.
01:10:38.796 --> 01:10:40.027
I love their stuff.
01:10:40.087 --> 01:10:40.777
Just love it.
01:10:40.911 --> 01:10:41.421
Love that.
01:10:42.126 --> 01:10:43.985
Your zip ups will last forever.
01:10:44.015 --> 01:10:45.006
I'm actually no.
01:10:45.036 --> 01:10:46.086
Oh, I was writing them yesterday.
01:10:46.746 --> 01:10:51.456
You gave me a pair of your joggers and I wore that yesterday and they were so nice.
01:10:51.515 --> 01:10:52.386
They last forever.
01:10:52.966 --> 01:10:53.657
the best.
01:10:53.657 --> 01:10:56.237
So yeah, I think that's it for us.
01:10:56.796 --> 01:10:57.155
That's it.
01:10:57.155 --> 01:11:04.775
That's all let us know the DMS, if there's anything else that you have your eye on, always like discovering new things, new brands.
01:11:05.706 --> 01:11:08.855
We hope that you have an excellent holiday season.
01:11:08.886 --> 01:11:14.046
We will be back with an episode airing on December seven.
01:11:14.615 --> 01:11:15.845
No, yeah,
01:11:15.962 --> 01:11:16.231
is it?
01:11:17.072 --> 01:11:17.372
Yeah.
01:11:17.402 --> 01:11:17.612
Okay.
01:11:17.612 --> 01:11:18.662
We are recording next week.
01:11:19.836 --> 01:11:22.386
