00:00:00
Speaker 1: I record this podcast on Gaetigul Country. I'd like to pay my respect to the traditional custodians.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: And I'm recording a Urando country, part of the Cooler Nation. Let's go.
00:00:11
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna dig this. It's like I've been given like an extra sprinkle of something.
00:00:19
Speaker 2: You've got layers, Yeah, I got layers. I was just thinking, I'm like, we're just such beautiful storytellers.
00:00:25
Speaker 1: You're making a lot of sense to that girl. No, I'm done.
00:00:30
Speaker 2: Let's be too honest to go. You look good today, Maddie.
00:00:36
Speaker 1: Do I You know what? Sometimes I feel like I don't know if you have the same feeling, but sometimes you feel yourself and you're feeling like, you know, you're buzzying or like you've got like that inner confidence. And then there are other days where I'm like, I want to wear a hoodie, no one talked to me, and I don't feel so great. But today I'm feeling good, So thanks for noticing it.
00:00:54
Speaker 2: My best friend sent me this meme the other day and it was like a video and it had through different stages and it's like some days you're having breakdowns in the car. Sometimes you're thriving sometimes you're crying, and sometimes you feel in yourself and it's confidence and you're confident, and that's just life.
00:01:11
Speaker 1: I want to ask you. I want to ask, like, what makes you feel confident? Because there are certain things that I need in my day to day life that really make me feel good about myself and confident. But what is it for you?
00:01:23
Speaker 2: I feel like daily routine is really important to me, so doing my little checklist. I'm such a type a type of person, but like to feel confident. I feel like my confidence has only been like built in the types of work that I've done for myself and you know, making myself feel better, do better, blah blah blah. But I think routine is really like you.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: Love structure, don't you. I do, yes. So it's like having a list ticking it off.
00:01:51
Speaker 2: I have a mental list and then I have like a like a tick list.
00:01:54
Speaker 1: So every morning when you get up, is your routine the same or is it like pretty much?
00:01:59
Speaker 2: Yeah?
00:01:59
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah.
00:02:00
Speaker 2: I just feel like when I start the day right, I feel confident to go through the day. I feel like I am big on. Like, you know, the first thing you should do is not jump on your phone. I like have a beautiful little dog, as you know, and I'm like little cuddles in the morning and like, you know, pull him out of his crane, comes up in cuddles, and then get up, have a shower, do my skincare routine, go to the gym, come back my breakfast, get on with my day, blah blah blah. So I have to because if I don't feel like I don't do that, like I don't feel like I'm I don't know, I don't know the feeling together, yeah, yes, what makes you feel like put together?
00:02:45
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it's funny you say that, like I hear that routine, that structure. I remember saying to you how I'm like not a go with the flow person, and going with the flow doesn't really like work for me. But then I was just thinking, as you're like talking about structure and routine in the morning, and my mornings are very go with the flow. So I'm like, am I go with the flow person? Because when I get up, it's very much how I'm feeling instead of a rigid like routine. Like yeah, and I think that hearing you say that, you know, that helps you really feel like confident for the day. I'm like, maybe I should start with a routine, Like maybe I should get up and have like a list of things that I should do to help me feel, you know, ready for the day. Like for instance, when I get up, I check my phone, so I'm the opposite like check that.
00:03:31
Speaker 2: My alarm obviously, like we all do that. We turn our alarms up, and we go, oh, do I go back to bed or do I get up? But I think I read that or I listened to this guy who was from the Navy, and he said, like the first task that you should do every day is make your bed, so that when you come home from the day, it's like the first task that you've completed and you can come back to something that's you know, efficient and you've done it. Yeah, But like there's other little things like that, like it would be like make my bed, make sure that I have walked my dog like I have. There's like non negotiables and then there's things like oh, like if I don't get to do like whatever. Like one thing I can't live without is like smelling good. Yes, I think like that gene. Yeah, if I smell bad or if I feel like I smell bad, like I just feel so awful about myself.
00:04:18
Speaker 1: You know what. It is definitely one of those things that makes you feel more confident about yourself. Like, for instance, in the morning, when I get up, I'm definitely an out of bed person, straight into the shower. I shower at least twice a day, like I have to. I'm very much like morning and night, no matter what. That's non negotiable.
00:04:33
Speaker 2: I understand people who don't shower, like they will show once a day.
00:04:36
Speaker 1: Some people don't shower in the morning, but like what the.
00:04:40
Speaker 2: Argument would be, like, no, it's like natural oil.
00:04:44
Speaker 1: No no, no girl, no no, no, no no, Like sometimes people see themselves.
00:04:50
Speaker 2: As like you smell your natural oils, not me, not.
00:04:53
Speaker 1: Me, especially when those natural oils turn to be that's a whole nother story.
00:04:57
Speaker 2: You know, it's body odor, but it is preventative, but we can be doing something about it. And you know, like I definitely have had experiences where I had when I was younger. I think I've told this story before like a dozen of times, but like, and this is probably why I've tried to actively make sure that I have my routines because it helps me feeling good and
Load full transcript
once upon a time, I didn't feel so good about myself and I didn't have a lot of confidence, and I had like a body odor problem. So when I was in high school, you know, going through puberty, that's a natural process. Stinky teenagers like I love always but like girls a sticky do girl.
00:05:38
Speaker 1: I was in a boarding house for like four years. Let me tell you odor from every crease and ferest of your body.
00:05:45
Speaker 2: Well, I work in a boarding house, and you know, the girls are just.
00:05:49
Speaker 1: As bad, you know, and I get through that great age of life and you learn how to get a routine together and start to smell nice and confident about yourself.
00:05:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've had different experience, is like over time with this, but it's kind of always comes back to that time of like feeling a little bit bullied. I think because I didn't notice it about myself, and I wish just someone just like told me about it and I would probably feel a little bit better about that.
00:06:15
Speaker 1: I bring that conversation up.
00:06:17
Speaker 2: How do you bring it up? Like, what would you if I am a stinky booboo like stinkyla.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: Booboo, stinkyler boo boo. I look, I think that it's it's one of those things that you know, when you're in a relationship and you want your partner to do something, but you don't want to single them out and make them feel awful about it, so you use the Wii. You know, you talk about it. So for instance, if it was a friend of mine who was maybe not smelling the best or like had some sort of you know, odor issue that maybe they weren't aware of because they were used to it, I would probably use a more you know.
00:06:51
Speaker 2: You would use it. You would use your products, and then you would offer.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: That to them, yes, and say that I love this product.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: You know. You know what nice approach. I'm not gonna lie, it's a nice approach. There have been times when I'm like, yeah, who's stings?
00:07:11
Speaker 1: But like I think that it's about doing it in a really genuine way, but a kind way, because this is such a personal thing, a personal I.
00:07:19
Speaker 2: Know, you don't want it to be a personal attack. I don't want it to be like, hey, you sting. But like, you know, sometimes I feel like I feel confident in like, you know, when I'm working with the girls, or if it's my family, it's my brothers, of course, but if it's a stranger, then obviously, like your approach would be such such a nicer way.
00:07:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, you spoke about having a like a body odor issue when you were younger, but these days, like what do you use to make yourself feel confident in how you smell?
00:07:49
Speaker 2: I'm using currently and I'm loving it at the moment because it's got more of a natural smell. The Dove whole body odor protection. Yes, like it's the best. I have one in my car, I have one in my gym bag, I have one at home, like I when all the places
where I feel like I just need an extra freshness. Yeah, that's that's Dove's got me.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: I love that. I also feel like Dove is such a familiar brand.
00:08:12
Speaker 2: I know, doesn't it make you doesn't.
00:08:14
Speaker 1: It make you feel nostalgic? Like it's almost like Dove was like almost the scent of your teenage ys.
00:08:21
Speaker 2: I have so many Dove products. I was looking through my house and when I started using a different odor protection, I was like, oh, I actually have a lot more other Dove products, And like that is they have such a great range, Like it's not just like you know, the one thing they have, Like they also have this this duo which is kind of like a cream, so like you can use that on your thighs, you can use that in all the places that you sweat, or you can whatever, like just as a preventative.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: I love that because it's all It's like, you can use it all over your body. It's like I think sometimes with deodorant, you just think that you can spray your under arms and that's going to have you covered. But it's like, you know, if you can put this like on your body, especially when you go to hug someone or you embrace someone, like there's parts of your body that they will come into contact with as well and they'll get a nice, you know, smell. Because whenever I put like perfume on, I'm always putting it in places that I feel like I might interact with people. So for instance, like behind my ear.
00:09:18
Speaker 2: Is at the top of my hair.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I put it in my hair because I'm like, if you go to say hello to someone, you're gonna get a whiff of your ear and your hair just there, you know.
00:09:27
Speaker 2: So it's like I feel like this is the little touches.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: Like that that I think is like you can use it. You can use it.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: Wherever, wherever, KINI line back of your legs back.
00:09:38
Speaker 1: It's great.
00:09:38
Speaker 2: I love it.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: H hopefully we don't smell anymore.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: I don't think you will if you're using Dove. Got you covered.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: One of my biggest compliments now is that I always smell nice. Yeah, and I love that because that's healing. It's healing my inner child from when she was a stinky booboo.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Okay, well, if you can recommend a product to me to use, because I'm hearing all this good stuff about Dove, which one should I?
00:10:03
Speaker 2: Do you prefer a spray or cream? What would you use daily?
00:10:06
Speaker 1: What would roll on? Honestly, I have a roll on and so I would love like I don't know, like a stick.
00:10:14
Speaker 2: Or they have a stick and like that. There's two different there's two different sense. I don't know what you're if you're into it like a sweet or more of a like natural kind.
00:10:25
Speaker 1: Of Actually, honestly, I'm I'm moved more towards feminine sense, yeah, than masculine brutal.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: I have seen an absolute increase, especially guys who are athletes. This is just a side note. I most of my ex partners that have been athletes have all used women's deodorant because the men's sense of deuterance is very mass but it's like you can't disguise it, like you know what I mean. It's like the Links Africa and is like whoa straight into you?
00:10:58
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
00:10:58
Speaker 2: Like over concentrated, it's over there's too much, and it's the same scent no matter what one you have, it's the same scent. Where I feel like with women's and female uh you know odor protection, there's just a variety, so you know, and like I feel like you can disguise your perfume over it, Like you can put your perfume and it doesn't overpower it. But like, yeah, I'm allful like all the men using women's odor protection, I like.
00:11:28
Speaker 1: A more feminine scent. What I mean by that is that when I smell women's deodorant, I actually feel.
00:11:33
Speaker 2: Like it's clean and fresh fresh.
00:11:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. I love like natural botannicals. You know, florals.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: Okay, if I was to tell you two flavors, two flavors, eat it. If I was to tell you and give you like two cents, which one would you go with? So we've got I've got lavender and camelal scent like soothing, yes, relaxing, calm, yes. And then I've got raspberry and rose, which is that like sweet?
00:12:07
Speaker 1: Can I have both? Because I feel like they're for different What am I going to use? Oh? Okay, I'll share, But I feel like if I'm like in a zen zone, you know, want to be calm down, I would use the lavender. But if I'm going out, you know what, I'm using the best one.
00:12:24
Speaker 2: I feel like this one smells yummy, and then this one.
00:12:28
Speaker 1: Is taste because.
00:12:32
Speaker 2: Taste them, Okay, I know, and I love them. Mom Oh no, this one's better.
00:12:40
Speaker 1: Do you think that's really nice? So this one has vitamin B three? Okay, okay, you can use it on your under arms, chest, thighs and beyond. Love that.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, groups but is a thing now that I have which I never had.
00:12:53
Speaker 1: Even use it in your sensitive areas because it has sensitive on it. So how good is that? You're gonna be smelling fresh all over? Let me have a look at that one. Okay, smell this one whole body. Doo. See I like that one? Yeah, see, yeah, I do like that.
00:13:10
Speaker 2: But you can tell the difference, right, But that's variety, Like you know, when you buy other like odor protection, they will just kind of like smell the same.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think this one is more chill, honestly, Yeah, more calming. More it's not as like this. I feel like, if you're going out in the morning and you want to fire it up, feel fresh all day, like this one feels like it's gonna stick with you all day. This one feels like if you're gonna have a self care moment, you know, in the house.
00:13:36
Speaker 2: Do your skincare routine. Yeah, you love it because we all know.
00:13:39
Speaker 1: I love the size of the bottles too, seventy five mil. It's a good size. Yeah, I love it. Okay, Well, thanks for the tips. I mean I need them for sure. I'm such a boy when it comes to my skin care routine. But I'm gonna step it up.
00:13:52
Speaker 2: You go to the gym a lot, you're very active. You need something that it's gonna look after you, and you know, have that protection all day so it's all day over control. You're not gonna be a stinky boober. You know.
00:14:02
Speaker 1: What I also love about this is that we often think of skincare as like just face and like this whole body, So it's like smelling nice nourishing your skin. It's obviously got that vitamin B three in there. It's tick tick tick for me.
00:14:19
Speaker 2: I've converted him. I've got him on board.
00:14:22
