Midlife Beauty Products | 11 Skincare & Hair Essentials for Women Over 40 - WTF Just Happened?

SPEAKER_01: Hi everyone, welcome back to WTF Just Happen, the podcast for women over 40, navigating all the hard stuff, which includes midlife, divorce, friendship, grief, menopause, aging. Starting over. Yes, ma'am. I'm Hillary. And I'm Sada. So today's actually kind of a fun episode. We are taking a break from the hard. Yeah, we've had some like heavy topics. We've had some heavy topics, and it's summer. I've been super meh. I've been totally meh. Right? Like very meh. I don't know why. There's no reason.

SPEAKER_00: I think well, we've had our weather here has been.

SPEAKER_01: Our weather's been challenging, very smoky, but I just have like I'm in this weird lull.

SPEAKER_00: Like very we haven't had a lot of like full time, outside time, sun time, suntime, girlfriend time. All of our friends have been scattered.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so we're just decided we need a little break from the bow hundred blah.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah. So today we're gonna we have some fun things we're gonna share with you guys. Um, we have things to talk about beauty, hair, sleep, uh, home products that you're gonna bring out. Yes. Um, and several things uh our 25-year-old selves would probably think are very freaking boring. Although we do use a lot of the things our girls would probably love to use actually. Or those things our girls steal. Steal.

SPEAKER_01: So these are yeah, so these are just super fun products, and these are things that I personally in midlife 56 make me feel better, make my life easier, probably will resonate with many people because they're just your average basic stuff. Some are a little bit pricier, some are actually very inexpensive. So we're gonna link everything um online in the show notes. Some links probably do have affiliate links, but if you, for example, are listening to this, then you actually now will be able to watch us on Apple and Spotify and YouTube.

SPEAKER_01: So if you can, I would say pop over, take a look, because we have all the products that we're talking about, and we'll actually be showing them.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we have them like here with us. We're gonna show. They literally can show and tell from our bathrooms and our drawers and your cabinets of our cabinets. Yeah, exactly. Okay, I actually brought my one of my items in my bathroom that I use that it was hot when I brought it. Oh, you did?

SPEAKER_01: You're love that. Uh-huh. Okay, so I'm gonna have you start.

SPEAKER_00: What is your what's your product that you want to start with? Okay, um, so yeah, we just kind of like we each decided to pick out our five-ish products. We have like eight or six. So many, but our five-ish favorite products that we want to share with you guys that I think will be helpful in your lives as well. We tried to pare it down, but it was hard because there's so many. Okay, so um I love Ulta and Sephora and all the good things at Target and all the makeup, yummy makeup things that my kids also like.

SPEAKER_00: But the one thing that I feel like I use every single day, it takes me five minutes to do my makeup, um, is my Laura Geller um baked full face palette. Oh, it's so good. Um, so good, so good she bought two of them and forgot.

SPEAKER_01: So good, yes. I she was talking about it, she brought it on a vacation. I did not bring it. I thought, oh my gosh, I must have this.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, it's so good. Like, I get compliments, you know. I think I told you guys before, like I like to look tan and bronzed and a certain product that you're gonna share while you because you always look tan, but um, I like to look shimmery. This is like an all-in-one palette, it's so super easy. It has a blush, a bronzer, a powder. I don't use these, I don't wear eyeshadow, so I don't use those, but there's like some good basic, like some really good basics, and then I love the shimmer. Um, the shimmer, what is this called?

SPEAKER_00: It's a highlighter. It's a highlighter, and I love it like to put on my nose, and then I put it like at the top of my lips too. So that's good, yeah. And kind of just on the cheek. And just on the cheek, but it's literally like a palette. I put my face lotion on, I let that dry, and then I just kind of mix them all. I'm not this actually, I'm not the um the most uh I don't take a lot of time on my makeup. I just don't.

SPEAKER_01: And it always looks her makeup always is flawless. But the bronzer, that's actually so this is what actually I owned. And you unlocked the whole separate palette. Yes, that's what I realized. Oh, I actually own the Laura Geller bronzer. Yeah. Then I bought this palette when we were there. But this bronzer, you just put it all over your face, and it's like it's so many different colors, but it just blends in so many beautiful.

SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's really known, like she makes makeup. She does. I don't even know if there's really a Laura Geller. There is. There actually is well it's made for women. Oh, and it gives you like a tutorial on the back, which I don't think. She's in midlife too. Well, so it's made for women over 40, this makeup. And it she has a ton of other stuff. I have, I do have a um like a comp like a pressed powder, and it comes with like a retractable uh um makeup, like a blush brush, and I keep that in my car if I kind of need to do any like little touch-ups, but I just it takes me like five minutes, and I would be so sad like if this ever discontinued.

SPEAKER_00: This is my second one, and I think I've been using it for maybe like two and a half years, and I just got my second one.

SPEAKER_01: And you feel like you look polished without being overdone.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I just always like to look beachy and tan, um, you know, and if I put on some like fake lashes, and I've still wear the same, the same routine. If I go to a wedding or if I'm going out, like it's still the same. I just if I want to glam it up, I'll put lashes and like a darker lipstick on. But okay. Yeah, it's good. So now I say like in three minutes you can go from being I think. I mean, I might if I have a blemish, I'll use the you know, like a um, you know, a foundation or whatever to concealer.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, concealer to cover, but I yeah, I'm not a huge like but right now you have all on your face.

SPEAKER_01: Lean in. It's so good. It's so I love it. It's just really pretty. It just blends in. The lighting, the lighting is funny, it's we're in a studio. Well, we're in our when my we're in our studio. Our studio with the lighting is not the best because you know, we're not professional.

SPEAKER_00: I think my mom's ordered this. You've ordered that. I think a few of our friends ordered it.

SPEAKER_01: All of our girlfriends ordered it after.

SPEAKER_00: And they do have um like a few color palettes, so you kind of go on and do like a little test. And this particular color palette that I have, if you have skin that is similar to mine, there is an actual, I thought there was an actual like name.

SPEAKER_01: And what's what does that mean skin? Is it kind of more of like dry? Is it like, or is it more of the or is it more of like our tone? Our tone.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, I just a normal face lotion on palette. Yeah, like I I think this is actually called like the medium, okay, the medium palette. That makes sense. And if you need to know any colors, we'll link everything, but it comes with the Tahitian Glow bronzer and the pink buttercream. Do you remember the price point on this? It's always on freaking sale for like 40% off. I want to say it was like$45.

SPEAKER_01: That is okay, and it lasts forever. Like a year. I wanted well, the bronzer I've had, I feel like I'm on year two, and I haven't even made a dent in it.

SPEAKER_00: I mean, I like, believe me, I like Charlotte Tilbury. I like, I still like some MAC products. I love um, you know, all the ones the girls are wearing. Um, Road and Um, what's her name? Justin Bieber's wife's makeup. Like I do love some of the beer glosses and things like that, but I just think for my each, like I just think I have to wear something, just something that is made for 40 over in it. It's$45. Oh, it's$45. Right. It goes on sale. Sometimes it's on sale, sometimes it's not. Um, yeah, so go, I'll put the link.

SPEAKER_00: Um, and we'll do links for everything. But anyway, it's such a if you're over 40 and you don't love to like do a full face of makeup and you just want to like use one brush and blend it all together, which my sister, who was a makeup artist for many years, would probably be cringing in her seat right now because I just put everything together and put it on. It works for me. She probably thinks that you she, I mean, she always is beautiful, so I'm sure she thinks it's great. She works for me. Yeah, it works for me.

SPEAKER_00: And you know, it is it. I I love it. And she's beautiful, and she has her whole set of makeup, but um, okay, that's me, Laura Geller. First one down.

SPEAKER_01: It is a great and that's a great one because it's universal for kids in so many areas. Okay, my yes, next favorite is it is the Cocoa and Eve Lego Virgin. I love that. It is a super nourishing cocoa and fig hair mask. So this little puppy, I bought this back in probably October of last year. Okay. I you probably can't see it, but it's literally half full. Because all you do once or twice a week, and I use this in the shower, it's a five to ten minute hair mask. So you can do it two ways is shampoo, right?

SPEAKER_01: Kind of get the water out, yeah, put it in your hair, leave it on in the shower, which is what I do, shave, all that fun stuff. I leave it on probably like seven minutes, or you can then, of course, get out, put it on after. The main thing is you just have to use warm water to rinse it. Yeah. So that's where five to ten minutes, maybe a little bit longer. It smells so good. So good.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we have um a our whole friend group has this because we did a favorite things Christmas exchange last year, which we will talk about because that was so much fun. That was so much fun. What was our price point? Um, I want to say it was like under 50, or I think it was, right? I think we added up to under 50, and then it was like if you had two favorite things, but it was super fun. She gave our friend group So this is like$32. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: And this and it's I still have mine in my shop. Yes, and it because it lasts forever because you use so little of it. And my hair is first of all, my hair is mousy brown um naturally. So this is very, very highlighted. And as I've gotten older, I've lost hair, I've got extensions, it's definitely gotten coarser. My natural hair, if I don't, let's say straighten it, is pretty frizzy. Yeah, I still need to learn to curl because I don't, I'm like the hair, I'm just obviously horrible with my hair. But this stuff just you put it on, it just makes it feel silky and it also smells so yummy.

SPEAKER_01: And I know many of our daughters will come over. Um, I know my girls, when they've come over and used our shower, love this. I know one of our other friends' daughters absolutely love this. So it's just a it's honestly it's a great gift to give. Yeah, where did you find it? Like, how do you know, like, where'd you find it?

SPEAKER_00: Because I'm sure they have a tanning line.

SPEAKER_01: They have, I mean, Coco Heat was amazing. I'm sure it was an Instagram influencer late at night, and I was like, oh, my hair, you know, like one of those fun things that wasn't expensive, I knew it would last forever, and thought, oh, I want to definitely try that. I heard, I looked up some reviews about it, but when I got it and smelled it, I was like, oh, this just smells so yummy. And then the fact that it like kind of like makes your hair feel so silky.

SPEAKER_00: Yes, and don't think so by the name like a virgin. Well, I'm because we are virgins.

SPEAKER_01: I mean, speak for yourself, I'm sure. Like we're Puritans over here. So that's my that's my first one, and I would say it's a great gift for yourself, and it's a great gift for anyone, yes, any other female who has you know hair or a scalp. Just if you write a scalp, just boil on.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it smells so good. So we all have it, and yeah, I'm glad that$32. That's so and it's yeah, it's such a nice gift. It probably lasts for uh probably a minimum of a year, I would say. Yeah, I would say last time it's still half full, and you gave it to us in December. Yeah, and it's almost August. Yeah, it's almost an Augusty re-rolling. If you're listening to us now, it's it's uh July of 2026. Um, okay, that's a good one. Love that one. Okay, um, the next one is me again. Yes, okay. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00: I am talking about what I brought over here before I got ready to come over to Hillary's to our studio. Um, I was curling my hair with my absolute favorite curling iron that if this thing ever broke, I would order one. Well, I think it's on the Fritz because I've had it quite a few years. But it's a bio, a bio-ionic. This is a 1.25 curling iron, and it does have a long barrel, but it gives me the best freaking curls out of I know, and I've had so many. You have a lot of curls.

SPEAKER_01: I have so many curling irons, so I'm so interested as to why this okay. So again, I have curling irons, but I don't really need to. So you have like the lingerie, how does it? The pink launch, I already say that the airflow thing. I have a big, I have the big one that our hairdresser, our hairstylist uses. I I have probably four or five, yeah, of which I still have not figured out how to use. I use my hair straightener, yeah, because that's foolproof. But I am very interested. Why is this out of all of the products?

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, why is this the best for you? You mean out of like all like let's say all of you I know you know all the ones I have. Why are your products that you bought? Why is this your favorite? What does it do that makes you easier?

SPEAKER_00: I don't know. I think the heat settings, okay, well, it goes to 430. I try to not go up that high, obviously. Um, but it the barrel's long, so it's like you can honestly like I always leave my ends out, right? And then it like it'll curl your entire length of hair in one. So you're not you don't have these like big straight pieces at the top, and then when I bring it out, it just makes like the best curls ever. I don't know. Um, my girls both have one. I think Layla has the one inch, and Maddie might have the one inch, and I have the 1.25.

SPEAKER_00: I like a bigger curl.

SPEAKER_01: So bigger girls. So the barrel equals a bigger size curl. Yeah. So you want the more beachy. I like it more beachy versus tighter is smaller. Yes, yes. That makes sense. I like it. Um do you use a hair protectant before you use this?

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't.

SPEAKER_01: So you spray your hair. I don't do that, so it's probably a good thing. I just what am I supposed to do that with my flat iron?

SPEAKER_00: Yes, when it's wet, you need a hair protectant. My hair's fully dry when I straight iron hair. When you no, you need the hair protectant and when it's damp. So if someone out there has a great hair protectant. I have yeah, I'll see from the supply store.

SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, that's like Amazon. That's really cool. But it like it's you know, you'll you'll save some money. Absolutely. Dry the hair protectant. Okay. So hair protectant, and then you use this. And it takes you about how long to do your head.

SPEAKER_00: Well, I recently took my extensions out. Yes. So before it would probably take me like 30 minutes to curl my whole hair. My hair was like, I don't know, down to here.

SPEAKER_01: 30 minutes. So this is why I don't curl my hair.

SPEAKER_00: Like you feel like that's a long time. I think, yeah, I think that's a long time, is it not? I just put a podcast on or music on, and I just, and I want my curls to stay so I leave it on my curl for a while. Okay, so you put it in and tell me what are you holding it for? Well, I mean, I don't know. I guess I'm like curling it like this. I'm just interested because it's so bad. I'll I'll hold it. I'll do one of my brows while I'm holding it. You know, so I would I would still be holding it. Okay.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean I just So that's why you need the heat protectant. Yes.

SPEAKER_01: Because I'm gonna have a quick little glossover. And I've never gotten that. So okay, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_00: For this, maybe you don't need, I mean, you probably should have it anyway for your your.

SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm mine mine is just going, I mean, it's just a quick still, you know.

SPEAKER_00: My uh hairstylist in California used to say you get one pass through with your flat iron. Like you gotta make it, make it my girlfriend Kelly, who does hair too for a year, she would say the same thing. If we if you're a blonde, you get one chance to pull your flat iron through.

SPEAKER_01: What if you're really a brown?

SPEAKER_00: But you're not really blonde. Yes, but you're not. Do I have strong or do I have no? That's why our hair, you know, breaks. Anyway, bio I on it. Okay. Again, we'll link all the things, but um, it's such I'm it's such it does have a longer barrel, so it does feel like it's a little heavier, like you're curling, but I think it's great.

SPEAKER_01: I also think that with a longer barrel, I like the look of that because I feel like I would be less uh worried about myself burning myself. Because I think that's actually why I'm always a little because I'm a little inept with it. So like holding it and feeling it.

SPEAKER_00: I mean, I've had some burns. Have you? Over the years. Yeah, I mean maybe.

SPEAKER_01: Sure, that's sort of, but I just always feel that with the way I'm holding it, I'm always worried that I'm just not. How about the burns you used to get on your neck and your parents would think it was a hickey? Well, maybe they really were hickeys. I have to say, I don't think I ever got a burn on my neck. I did. But I did have some marks.

SPEAKER_00: That would be the indicators you're wearing a turtleneck in the middle of 90-degree weather.

SPEAKER_01: Right. But it was the look, it was cool.

SPEAKER_00: It was like an esprie sweatshirt, which apparently they have at Costco now. Oh very, yeah, very cool. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01: We used to go to the Esprit and Sam. Yeah, or um, how about the Benetton? Did you ever go to Benetton? Uh I don't think we had an outlet.

SPEAKER_00: We've got an outlet, but like the store was always so colorful though. Okay, yeah, so cute. So that's my favorite curlin iron. They do have it on Amazon. Um, uh they yeah, they have the price point. Um, it is around$100. Oh, that is not or maybe it's like$114 right now.

SPEAKER_01: Okay, but for I think a curlin iron that lasts for like years or I've had mine for years.

SPEAKER_00: I'm I've had it for years.

SPEAKER_01: Um that's not, I mean, that's not a bad price point for something that's gonna really work.

SPEAKER_00: I I and now that I'm and now that I'm sitting here, I definitely don't want to. I think it's even on sale sometimes. Um yeah, you gotta trust your beauty soul when you have it like right next to your chair. Oh yeah, so like right now it's 114 bucks on Amazon. And you know, maybe you can find it cheaper, you know, somewhere else, but Amazon's usually yeah, every size on here is 114.10 right now.

SPEAKER_01: So oh I love that. So all the barrel sizes are the same cost. Oh, I love it. Okay, yeah. I'm not buying that um until you don't need to put it on me and then shows me and teaches me how to use it. Yeah, because I cannot add one more tool to my arsenal.

SPEAKER_00: And that is the trick, is like going on YouTube and watching a stylist use the bioionic and how long she leaves it on and how she twists it up and how she lets it go is like really determines how your curl looks. That's a good suggestion. And I've always kind of worked in salons. I know you're like, yeah, I just have always liked doing hair, so make a pair, you're good. I told Leslie she needs to teach um curliner.

SPEAKER_01: Or hairstylist, she should. I would be the first person, and she'd probably fire me and kick me off. It's kind of like when you go to pet training and then they say that your animal's not the problem, you're the problem. I'm a hundred percent of the problem.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, so you're and the reason I'm gonna I really am excited for her to talk about this because I want to buy these, and I'll let her talk about them, is because you get to wake up looking beautiful and tan every day, and I have to apply it every day.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it's not even like so tan. These are the it's basically number 12. Oh yeah, and it's basically that's just called face drops. So it's I think it's just Lux Unfiltered. We actually have our fabulous progressives that we'll put on. But it's this little tiny bottle, and I will link it too. I'm probably what like about I've used about probably two-thirds of this. I've owned this for this is at least, I'd say, nine months. Okay. You use so little of it, but the biggest thing is, and I've done this a couple of ways, is I was putting this because I was not listening to the instructions.

SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm not sure. The instructions are shocking. The instructions are you're supposed to take your moisturizer and you put a few of the drops in. So depending on how much color you want, you can do four, I think up to like eight. Okay. So I, being the rebel that I am, would do my moisturizer, and then I would do the drop separate. So you didn't follow direction. I don't follow directions. Okay. So, and I will tell you is you do get a little tanner. If you do that, all I'm gonna say is wash your hands and then really use a scrub because there was a few days I would wake up and I'm like, oh, I actually got stopped.

SPEAKER_01: This is not funny, but we were going to California, and it was right when the um football, the Super Bowl was. And we weren't going to the Super Bowl, we just happened to be flying to the same, let's say, airport, and I got they were swabbing everyone's hands, and I had just used this and I had color on my hand because I hadn't washed it off or scrubbed it off appropriately the night before. Yeah. And I said to the guy, if you're swabbing my hands, I have self-tanner, you can see it. I glowed, I had to do the full.

SPEAKER_00: It was as if you had drugs like on your hands.

SPEAKER_01: When you were dying, the girls we were actually lit up like a we were going when we were doing my niece's bachelor, like her shower. We were going to that. My girls were, we were let left. Well, the airplane almost left. They went through all of my bags. So if you're using this properly, put it in your moisturizer, four to five drops. You put it on at night. You will wake up and you're not going to be tan tan. You're gonna have just kind of a little nice glow.

SPEAKER_00: You always look like really glowy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I would say I'm not dark though. If you want to do dark, then you have to be repetitive from the natural like very fair. I'm naturally very light. Yeah. Yes. I've got freckles, I'm light. I I tan, I actually do tan now. I would have burned normally when I was younger. But yeah, you can do it. I mean, I've done it both ways. I'm not saying not to do it solo. Just really wash your hands and use a scrub.

SPEAKER_00: And I mean, we live, since where we live, I mean, we're all so white and fall and spring and springs.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and this just kind of gives you that little glow-up. And what is the product? What does this cost? It's not I was gonna say, how much is it and where do we get it? Okay, well, everyone knows I only buy my stuff on Amazon. Okay. So, because I like stuff to get delivered to me.

SPEAKER_00: Yes.

SPEAKER_01: And I will say though, I need to stop I need to start shopping locally, but no one sells this here. Um so number 12 tanning drops, let me just tell you. I should have pulled this before, but they are okay, it is dun dun,$42. It is Lux Unfiltered, and yeah,$42. Yeah. You can get them overnight depending on your location. And it lasts you, I mean this is a this bottle is a good year. A year ago. It's going to be a year. It's because you obviously you're not using it. If you want, let's say, to achieve a little bit darker, yeah, then just use it maybe a couple nights back to back.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah. But it's just it is. I have to say, it's my absolute favorite product.

SPEAKER_00: We do always know when you bust them out like in early spring, all of a sudden she's like very tan because we're ready for the sun in like May. When it's so cold here still, we're like if we go to lunch, we're like, oh, we're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because you look in the mirror and you're like, oh my gosh, I just look so I just look and feel sad. No, but if you can't tone it, if you can't tone it, tan it. Now, granted, it's tone your face. Well, I mean, trust me, if I could I had to do a facelift to tone my face. So that was way more than the$42. So this is a drop in the bucket for the bigger problems. Okay, those are awesome.

SPEAKER_00: I'm going to purchase some of those for sure because it would be nice if I I'd like to wake up and you know, just look tan. Yeah. You know, exactly.

SPEAKER_01: It just not even dark, it's just a little bit. Yeah, a little glow-up. Okay, so what is your next one?

SPEAKER_00: Okay, my next one. Um, I was obsessed when Chris was alive. He was a huge snorer, you guys. Like, ah, he should have gone to the doctor and probably have been on a CPAP machine, but he he he wasn't. I suffered through, would sleep in another bedroom sometimes. Um it's so hard when they snore. Oh, so and you know, they don't know. They don't know they snore. You don't I I think I breathe heavy, but I don't think, you know, he was always like, I don't snore. I've recorded them just so you all know.

SPEAKER_00: I like haven't I'm like listen. So that's not me. That's not me. Anyway, um, so I would use these bows, um, which I've shared with a ton of people. These bows, um, they're they were called sleep pods, and they were an actual like an airpod for your ear made by bows. Well, they stopped making them in mine totally but the dust. So um I I think I've tried like every earplug under the sun um to try to like drown out noise. I'm a very light sleeper, so drowned out. So I hear everything. I even sleep with a fan on.

SPEAKER_00: I need to just hear this like quiet, just like uh muffled quietness in order to sleep. So when those broke and then Bose went out of bed, they don't sell those anymore. They you can't get on the app. Even if you have them, I think they stopped the app. And they were like$250. Oh, those are expensive. They were so expensive. Um, but in this little tiny case, yeah, look, that's so cute, so small. Um, the loop, they're called loop earbugs. And I was like, those are a freaking gimmick, but there's like four different um I don't know, types of loop.

SPEAKER_00: So these are called the sleep, um, the dream. These are called the loop dream, and they're just these like little, I don't know why they work. They're super, but I've tried every freaking earplug under you can pick a bunch of different colors. Super cute colors. So they're there, these are teal. Uh I mean you probably can't see, but they're so cute. They come in this little teeny um, so they have dream pods. Okay, mu I think music pods, like if you go to a concert, um, everyday pods, like honestly, since Chris passed away, like I feel like I'm very like hypersensitive to like noises now and just kind of like get overstimulated really easily.

SPEAKER_00: Just I never used to feel that way. Like even in the grocery store, you know, I can hardly go to the grocery store. They have like everyday um loop earbuds, and you can just like wear them and it like just takes people down a notch, which is kind of like filters out the bottom. It filters out just like, yeah, or like let's just say uh a kid was screaming, or like somebody dropped something in the grocery store, like something broke, it would like literally just like take the edge off. Oh it's almost like a like a little bit of a Xanax.

SPEAKER_00: Oh, like a Xanax for your ears. A Xanax for your ears, yeah. So I mean, if you can also take a Xanax and go to sleep, it's crazy. That's also good too. Um they're so cute. There's all different colors, of course. Women love that. Are they comfortable?

SPEAKER_01: Yes, they just fit right in and they're like and it's not like when I wear, let's say if I'm wearing my ear pods, like let's say when I'm working and I have them in, and you let when you want to take them up.

SPEAKER_00: Yes, it hurts. No, I can sleep all night. They like, and there's three different little covers, like kind of like airpods where a large, medium, and small for like your ear canal. Okay. Um, but no, they snuggle right in your ears. And even though Chris is not here, I'm now used to like wearing them. Sure. And I can still hear, like, if my girls were to call, I would still be able to hear a phone, but there's something, it like it like takes the decibel, decibel or whatever it's called, like down to like a very um quiet state where it just, yeah, I'm like obsessed with them.

SPEAKER_00: So I had to share them. Everyone who I mean, sleeping that much. They were 20, I think they're$29. So that's not like super cheap, but it's well, it's not either that's that's actually pretty inexpensive. Well, compared to the$250 bucks.

SPEAKER_01: If you lose them accidentally or you let's say go somewhere and you don't have them to get another pair of it. Oh, yeah, you could just yeah. I mean, you could have multiple pairs for just a very small amount of money. Yeah, and I'm I'm like, And if it works, and if it sort of takes that, I know that for a lot of women snoring can literally ruin your marriage. It is so hard. Or if you're a very light sleeper, like I'm a light sleeper, and Sean doesn't really snore, but I any sound. Yeah. Right, Dakota jumps are.

SPEAKER_00: Or like a neighbor like shutting a door or like whatever.

SPEAKER_01: Anything, it's like those little things, you know, background, it's like ugh in the storms.

SPEAKER_00: The Bose pods came with an app, and you actually had I had like white noise in my ears. Okay, and then if you turn it up too loud, it would alert you on the app and it would say, This is above the noise that we would suggest if there was an emergency in your house you couldn't hear it. But I would crank it up because in that very, very back, I swear I could still hear him snoring, and I was like, nah. But I would yeah, so you did have to use the app. It was white noise or some sort of ocean or whatever you chose in your ears.

SPEAKER_00: Sure. If you turned it up too loud, it would tell you it was too loud. But I can hear it.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so fire alarms going off. Yeah, or I could write.

SPEAKER_00: So I don't know what these are little magical lifesavers. So there's four different kinds, and I think it's even great for people that one go to like I love concerts, but yeah, maybe sometimes maybe like it's overstimulating because it's a little loud for me now, and I never used to feel that. Sometimes it can be very loud depending on the venue. Yeah. So if it's outside, it's a little bit better. But even for people that struggle with um like overstimulation or I don't know, ADHD or adult, like like just over.

SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm realizing that after Chris Pass, like I really struggle with that, so I might get those other ones, but you can't see them. So even if I was in Tiger Joe's or whatever, the grocery store or wherever, you can still hear someone talking. Sure. Or you like takes the edge off. Like I said, Xanax in your for your ears. I love that. So that's my uh that's my I don't know, number three. That is fantastic.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, moving on to your I actually it's a few, so I had to whittle down because this is wait, this is wait, yeah. This is my number three. Okay, so this stuff I absolutely love. It is, I think this is how you say it, it's borbelletta.

SPEAKER_00: Borboletta? Borboletta.

SPEAKER_01: It's a lash serum. Okay. Don't quote me on this. I love the product. Um, Nicole Wagner, who was on, she is a makeup artist and has her own company called Powder Inc. She actually promotes this product and as probably an affiliate. And I thought, okay, what what the heck, right? It wasn't expensive. I want to say it was like$45. Your lashes are very long. I had eyelash extensions for me too. Years. Me too. Years. And then four years ago, I was just I'm super sensitive. Mine so they always had to use the allergic, so they always had to use the special glue, didn't matter.

SPEAKER_01: We had to sit there with a fan on me. I had to sit there with Benadryl.

SPEAKER_00: I used to take Benadryl.

SPEAKER_01: Yes, take a Benadryl before I had that like a stupid little thing kind of like this, and it would absorb the fumes. And I finally realized this is ridiculous. Like, yeah. And then I'm like, my eyes are red and puffy for a few days after. I was like, why am I doing this? This is so bad. Obviously, my body is telling me this is not good. So I've had my lashes came off, yeah, and they were microscopic. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00: I was like, they were like crying because they were little stubs.

SPEAKER_01: I'm like, oh my god. And it didn't matter putting mascara on because they were so tiny. Oh my gosh, I remember that.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: It took a while to get back to like a normal length. So when Nicole came on, and I think I was started watching some of her videos, I thought, okay, well, I'm gonna try this. Yeah, it's not expensive. Let's see if it works. Holy crap! Yeah, it actually totally works. So there's actually one of my lashes on this one side. That's actually long. I honestly feel like I should. It's gotten so, so long. But you put this on literally, and granted, I am terrible about remembering because I have like 1900 steps at night.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah. So I get in bed and think, oh god damn it, I didn't put this on. Yeah. But when you remember, and I would say I probably consistently or inconsistently did this for let's say six to seven weeks. Yeah. One day I woke up and thought, oh my gosh. Yeah, they're and I wouldn't say that they're long when I don't have mascara, they look normal. But when you put mascara on, off the chart. So yours are so long. I have to say some falsies, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00: Is well, and yeah, I mean, I would probably use falsies if I knew it, but I almost brought like my favorite brand of falsies, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01: We can talk about those another. Because I mean, falsies are amazing. Yeah. But this stuff, I have to say, I mean, this will be amazing. And I do now use it now that my length my lashes are at a length I like, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, and so um uh there's a couple, what's the one that's kind of expensive? That's the Rotan and Fields one.

SPEAKER_01: I never use that one. But yeah, I mean, that's really good too, but it's expensive. But it's so expensive. So I think that's where I'm like, I'm not spending hundreds of dollars. So price point on this, I think. Yeah, and it's actually it's not even a reseller, it's from the actual store. Okay, which I do try to do. I try and go, yeah, yeah. Exactly. When I go, when we do stop on Amazon, I try and go to the actual store. So I will look at that really fast. Um, but it will last, I mean, this thing will last for so long.

SPEAKER_01: Because yeah, there's definitely different sellers on it, but they definitely have their own product. They have their okay, sorry, it's$65.

SPEAKER_00: Okay. And I think yeah, I think like some of the other ones I've seen are over a hundred for sure.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and you might and right, and then I can also look to see if Nicole Wagner has, yeah, one time is$65. I feel like I didn't pay that much, and maybe it's because it was on sale or I feel like it was on sale or prime day or whatever, something, and she may have had a discount. It goes on sale, so maybe wait if you want to wait too, but then just know that you're gonna have it for probably a year or more. Yeah, because you're using so little, all you're doing is putting it on your lash line at night before bed.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's just on the top of the bed. And then I would say you also use it on your brows. I didn't try that, yeah. But I would say it doesn't, it made my eyes, it wasn't itchy. Because I am very sensitive. I was never red, I was more of if I probably got a little too close, like a little irritating, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't say I was ever itchy, and I'm uber sensitive to stuff on eyes. Yeah. So I would say for anyone who's very sensitive, if you are hoping to maybe lengthen lashes, the one thing I'd say is it's not, it's definitely length.

SPEAKER_01: Okay. It is, I would love thickness. Yes, I probably I would love to get something thicker, get more. This is just lengthening them, which is great. So I'll take one or the other. But if anyone knows of a product that does both, this is our puppy, this is one of our rescue doggies. Hi, Coopies. So, yeah, so that's uh one of my favorite products, and absolutely something I would give, you know, or recommend to anybody.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, love that, love, love, love that. Especially that you can get it on Amazon from the actual um you can get it from the store. The yeah, from the actual seller. Okay, um, my next product, I think I'm down to two. Um this is a okay, so I think I shared with you guys I I'm down to one income because hello, my husband passed away. So had to make some financial changes, so I took my extensions out. It was a very sad day for me. But I have some little clip-ins that I'm dealing with and all of that, but I've always used this product from Unite.

SPEAKER_00: Um, it's that called the Texture spray, and it's like a dry, it's not dry shampoo, it's like a dry finishing spray that gives you like volume. It smells so freaking good. Um, I always get compliments that my hair smells good, and it's always this. And it um it's oh it does smell really good. Did you use this before? Yeah. Oh, it's it before. It comes out in like a I won't scare the dogs, but it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00: You just really like put it in your hair and it's it gives it volume. So why am I not a volume laser? I don't know. Hello. I'll get you some at the beauty store. I'm like, look how flat this is. Um I've never bought okay. So this is a beauty store product? Uh yeah. This is a god, it smells amazing.

SPEAKER_01: I know. Come here now. I know, I know. Oh, you guys, it smells so good.

SPEAKER_00: So good. So if you have to, if you have thin hair, I don't know. I used it even when I had my extensions. Oh, I I would use it like for the top or if I can't extensions are under, right? They're under, but I would use it just maybe if I hadn't washed my hair in a week or whatever. But um, I know she died.

SPEAKER_01: I can't.

SPEAKER_00: I yeah, I would feel like I think seven or eight days.

SPEAKER_01: But with dry shampoo. Yeah. I have to every other day, I I can't.

SPEAKER_00: It's the feeling of like Well, I yeah, it it's definitely this it it feels freaking amazing to wash my hair with no extensions. I will say that. I I know that's where I'm like, but it smells amazing, right? It smells incredible. So you can I will say, I don't know that I would buy this on Amazon. I think you can, but um, I know there's a lot of black market uh that sounds like black market for hair products, but I know. No, but it's like it's right there's a lot of it. Like I would never probably buy my um redkin shampoo ever on the store.

SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's good to know. Okay, because you feel like you're not really.

SPEAKER_00: I mean, who is filling? You could fill it up with like some, you know, panteen or whatever, you know. Like I'm I don't know if anyone's doing that. I'm just saying I choose. I are I still have my um license, I can go to the beauty supply.

SPEAKER_01: But so you can go to a let's say a beauty supply store.

SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, you're going to be public can't get in there, but you just go to a salon, it's not that expensive, it's like twenty dollars, it lasts a long time. You need a couple spritzes of it. They might have it at Sephora and Ulta now, I'm not really sure, but um salons have it. Uh go to the Unite website, I don't know. Um but I mean I probably wouldn't buy it on Amazon, but yeah, you can lock whatever you want to do. It's that you know, but yeah, it should smell amazing. Oh, it smells like a little bit of a few.

SPEAKER_00: Give you tons of volume.

SPEAKER_01: Okay. I need to buy this. Now we need to take a trip to the store.

SPEAKER_00: Yes, I'll take you.

SPEAKER_01: Because I also want some purple shampoo.

SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay. We'll get we'll get you some. Yeah, I think I just threw my purple shampoo away. But anyway, that is something I've used for years and years and years, and this is a product that I will probably have until I'm like an old lady in the old folks' home. I'm gonna tell you to come over and spray my hair with it. I'm actually I put my brows on.

SPEAKER_01: I'm actually a little upset that I've never seen this and you've never. I'm so sorry. I'm always like, well, how do I get volume? Oh shoot, you're right. I have like volume is. After we're done with this, well, you you're volume on my hair, volume on my lashes, right? Like it's like I'm a little flat little who's a Stanley. I'm a flat Stanley over here.

SPEAKER_00: And I like big double-partin hair.

SPEAKER_01: Like I do too. I know, shoot. The bigger the hair, the closer the mud. Yeah. Yes, you got it. We need right. I've got like little flat hair over here.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that is a product that is like a lifesaver. If you have short hair, long hair, whatever, I have always recommended it. I just can't.

SPEAKER_01: It smells so good. Let me spray it. Okay, she's gonna she's gonna do a little bit of my hair.

unknown: Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: And it just kind of like, you know, it just smells so good.

SPEAKER_01: It smells like oh my god. It smells like it really smells incredible. Yeah, it just gives you a little bit. It's like really clean and low. Just a dry texture spray. Okay, I don't see it's saying this hair like it looks amazing. I don't do we see a difference.

SPEAKER_00: I know, but I when we curl it and when then you spray it in, you spray it under your curls, all right. She's lost me at the spray in 30 minutes. And when we do go places, we all do each other's hair and makeup.

SPEAKER_01: Yes, I'm always like, I'm standing in line like a child.

SPEAKER_00: Even if we have too many drinks and someone has their eyes closed, uh, no names being mentioned, and that's not us. While I'm cur while we're curling hair to go out. Right. Someone was asleep. Someone's asleep while we're curling hair. And may also not have made it out. And didn't make it out, but maybe with but she looked really pretty going to bed. She looked gorgeous. She looks so cute. Straight back to bed. Straight back to bed. Fully clothes. She looked beautiful. Oh my gosh. Okay, so that's that.

SPEAKER_00: It's a great product. I'm obsessed with it. Obviously, we'll do all the links. So good. Okay.

SPEAKER_01: This one. I need this. Okay. For anyone, this actually probably works on your. Oh, it does. This actually could work on clothes too. Okay, this is, and I have to find out because I'm sure Sean got this on Amazon. It is called the Chom Chom Roller. And I'm sure there are Chomp a Chom Chomp. Chom Chom. There are many out here that probably are work similar. I'm going to tell you though, this one, we've had other ones.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, and what does it mean?

SPEAKER_01: It is a roller basically for pet. It's not, it's not tape. No, it is not tape, which is what the beautiful thing is. And so, for example, like right here, one of our, we have two recipe dogs, one's low and a half black lab German Shepherd. She's about 100 pounds. And her hair is everywhere. We have a 13 and a half-year-old black cat, hair everywhere. We have a seven and a half-year-old total, I don't know what he is. He's like a black mouth cur, complete mutt. He's got that short hair. Yeah. So between his short hair and then a lab hair and the cat, we are vacuuming like three times a week.

SPEAKER_01: But they sleep on our bed because of course, why would they not? Yeah. So every day I can literally just go around my bed. And even though we have a cover and we have a blanket and that gets washed multiple times, this literally takes up all of the hair on my duvet cover. All of the couch.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like find my blanket. Oh. The ones that with the masking tape. Yeah. It's like a pet hair roller. It is.

SPEAKER_01: And I can't think of what it's called either. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00: I'm like such a no, it's just but it's like that. It is like this. It's not.

SPEAKER_01: But this is a this is basically a felt, basically roller. And so all of the hair just collects in this little chamber. So it pops up, and then it's and when I use it on my couch, you would think my animals honestly should be bulked. There's so much hair. And I do it on our couch probably every other day because they jump up and off the couch and they just you know the hair, it's like you can see it. I have that mitt thing and it doesn't work. Okay, we have the knit. Okay. We own, we own the we own again, it's like the curling iron.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah. We have tried no less than six products I can think of right now in our pet. Lit roller. The lint roller, yes, exactly. This actually could this actually would work on clothes. Okay. This would work on clothes too. Okay, good. Because it's it, you just have to do like these little short swipes on it. This cannot be more than$13. Okay. This is a very inexpensive item. You just pop it open, you clean out the tray. Interesting. But I'm not kidding you. I would have our bed perfectly clean, and I would look at like our Euro shams.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah. The dogs don't lay on our shams. Yeah. They're not even on the bed. It's like a little madman. But it's like it is. There's just, and I'm like, every morning, I'm like, oh my gosh, as I'm making the bed. Yeah. Well, I mean, when I make the bed, I should say. Yeah. It's like, it is so it's so satisfying to then have no hair for the brief 20 seconds that that area is going to look. Yeah. I love this thing. It's called the Chom Chom roller. I will, it's the Elite series, probably an extra dollar, maybe.

SPEAKER_01: I don't know. It's definitely under$13.

SPEAKER_00: I had dog. Hair from our lab in my Ford before I got my Bronco. From when he died, when he passed away, our dog when we moved from California to Idaho, I think we had him a year. So we've been here almost 10 years. So that means for eight years there was slab hair in the back in the car. Yes. In the back that was like I could never get out.

SPEAKER_01: Because those I we go the car wash. Yeah. So this I didn't even think about that. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: The car wash doesn't won't get your own.

SPEAKER_01: No, if you've got, let's say, carpet floor mats. Yes. This would totally work on that. Because I've got all weathers I can just wash off. Yeah. Because we're filthy. Which I still need to.

SPEAKER_00: I still never ordered those, by the way. You really?

SPEAKER_01: Okay, we'll get you those. Yeah. So, but yes, if you've got carpet floor mats, this would totally this thing. I'm not kidding you, it's miracle, life changer. Chom chom. This would be the thing if I had to like, if I lost this, I would order three more tomorrow. Yeah. Just because I would be worried.

SPEAKER_00: If they're not that expensive, it might be worth it to have like one in your car, you know, one in your oh, here's an idea for chom chom. They should make little ones.

SPEAKER_01: They probably do. Maybe they do. Who knows? Okay. So anyway, I'll look this up. I did not buy this. My husband bought it, and I first was like, what is that? We need another, there's another pet product in the house. But I have to tell you, I've not used any of the other product, and I have that mix. Yeah. I have all, we have all the stuff. We've got the big lint ones. We've got all of them. We've got the little like the superior. Oh, this thing, the best. Okay. And kind of addictive, by the way.

SPEAKER_01: Like it makes you want to get all the hair up. Very satisfying. Yeah. Yes. So if anyone has a chom chom, this thing's great.

SPEAKER_00: Okay. You've got to get a chom chom because I do have a mitt and it's it's okay. The chom chom's the best. Because I have like velvety bar stools. And I feel like sometimes the hair is, it sticks in there. Like they go in there. Yeah. And I'm like, I need clothes to come out. So I'm going to get a chom chomp and some lash there. And some tanning drops. Um, okay, my last item, because we each did five, even though we could have each probably done 10, because we have really great things, um, are if you're over 40, which is the best.

SPEAKER_00: And I actually didn't have to get them, the readers is what I'm talking about, until I was like maybe 46. But all my girlfriends always had them. Everybody had them on their head, on the string, in their car. Who has readers to read the menu in a in a restaurant, right? But I was always like, they're not super cute. Not cute. Like some brands have cute ones, but they're just readers, right? So then you always need to take them off in order to see. Well, these from Look Optic are so stylish. You've probably seen me wear them in a couple episodes.

SPEAKER_00: Hillary got herself a pair, the best, and they're progressives. So like you literally wear them just all like you can wear them all day. So they're clear on the top, they're great. And then they I'm a 1.5 right now, and you're a one. I'm a one. I just started wearing. You're older than me. Ha ha. Little rat. So I'm actually a lot older. No, you're not. I'm 56. But if you see, like they're mine have a pink tint, hers have a brown tint. Right, mine have a brown. Um, they have a gold rim. They're so cute and stylish.

SPEAKER_00: So look optic. They're not super cheap. There's always a coupon. We'll want to see her like a code. Like$104.

SPEAKER_01: With a cut with a cut with a$20. Oh, I think so. I don't. I think I was like, mine were like$100. I was like, well, look. I was debating. But I have actual real.

SPEAKER_00: Well, I have a million readers, and there's actually really cute readers on Amazon. There are. The problem or the what I love, and there are some okay progressives on Amazon, but like they're not, these are like stylish and we're, I like to feel good and look good. So they come with this cute little case that has a um a little cleaner that stays attached so you don't lose it. So it's like a what is this called? Um, I'm like, I'm thinking, I did I get that? Yeah, you had to. I maybe tossed it on accident.

SPEAKER_00: I probably did. It's probably still in the box. One time we bought my mom uh, I think we bought her, was it Tory Birch? We bought her Tory Birch purse and a wallet. Did you toss something? She tossed, she yeah, she would tell the story because it's just like we got her purse and then the long wallet was like in the front of the box. No, and she was like, Thanks, girls, I love the purse. You're like, where's the wallet? And we're like, Oh, well, did you like the wallet too? And she's like, There was a wallet.

SPEAKER_00: Oh no. And yeah, she was like so sad about it, but you know, is okay.

SPEAKER_01: So I should look for that. That's actually so it stays attached to it.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's attached to it. I must have this figure.

SPEAKER_01: Um, and then they just Oh my god, that's amazing.

SPEAKER_00: What does it say on here? Fear, what does it say?

SPEAKER_01: Fear not the fine print.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fear not the fine print. So Book Optic has super cute progressive readers, which I feel like is the game changer instead of readers on your head, readers here, readers in your purse, readers next to your bed. I mean, I still have readers next to my bed, but I need them to like see, you know. Well, I mean glasses, glasses, but I'm not doing that yet.

SPEAKER_01: But so that's the thing is actually I need glasses for distance when I'm driving at night and I can't see, but these I don't I just need it to like a little bit crisper. Yeah. And so that's why readers actually I don't love because maybe I've always bought them there, maybe Sean's are too strong. Well, the whole thing is just yeah, so it's like I can't, I need this. I need the progressive plus.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah because I have to be progressive for your you need to like go to the eye doctor, which I think I need to.

SPEAKER_01: Which I already have. And I've got my actual real glasses, but I really just need those at nighttime to see in the distance. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: So like signs. And we talked about that. Driving in Idaho is like um you actually really have to like ask the Lord to guide you. Yes. Because don't follow the lines. Don't follow the lines, you cannot follow the lines because they are all over the place. Don't follow the lines. There are no street lights, and you really just have to pray that you get to your destination uh in one piece and you don't um go off the road because it's pitch dark.

SPEAKER_01: Pitch dark. But these I have to say, Seda wore them. I love them. Yeah, but the fact that they're a progressive. And Kendra got a pair too. Our other girlfriend got a pair too. And they're cute on everybody. They're so cute. Does not matter your face, shape, color, it doesn't matter. They have to tell you.

SPEAKER_00: I have the pink tint, you have the brown tint, the ground tint, and they're gold, like they're really beautiful. So they are a little bit of an investment, but I think that they um, you know, if you want to look cute, not wearing old lady readers, then this is your jam. Well, extra. So those are my five. I mean, I could have shared. I know there are so many. I have more goodies in my bag, but those are my five that we're gonna stick with. Hillary has one really amazing last two products that's. Yeah, I'm doing the bonus one because I gotta tell you guys.

SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah. If you hate to clean, it's a good product.

SPEAKER_00: Okay, and we all know that it would be amazing to travel with your girlfriends, which I have girlfriends that um went with each other to Korea and did a bunch of stuff for cheap. But this is where she found.

SPEAKER_01: Okay, this was a hundred percent a late night because sometimes I wake up at two in the morning. Sometimes I'm away till 3:30. And what are you gonna do at 2 to 3? You can read the news, which is very depressing.

SPEAKER_00: Oh, I don't even read the news anymore.

SPEAKER_01: Don't be reading because it's so depressing. But this Style Korean Pharmacy Box, I'm gonna tell you. My sister's gonna like this. The best. Okay, so I bought it, it was$89. I think there was maybe a little shipping, maybe it was$100 all in. And I'm like, And it is pure Korean skincare, yes? I mean, I don't know. It's from Style Korea Pharmacy, and I'm gonna tell you, I'm now three weeks into the products. This is what comes, you probably can't see it. I will put pictures up. There are 22 full size products in here, so this is not like a little tester product.

SPEAKER_00: And if you're just listening and you can't see the video, it's a beautifully packaged box. Beautiful with um 20 full-size products.

SPEAKER_01: Actually, 22, 22, Korean products, full size, and they're all different products. And so, of course, I got this and I thought, holy crap, I was shocked by it comes this, it comes beautifully.

SPEAKER_00: This is not Amazon.

SPEAKER_01: This um this was not Amazon. This was through Style Korea, okay, and or style Korean. Oh my gosh, I kind of explained to you. Yeah, the full-size boxes, beautiful boxes, beautiful products. Packaging. And then I was a little overwhelmed because I'm like, yeah, where do you start? Do you need to do it? What do I do? No, I mean, what am I gonna do with 22 products? Obviously, I'm a simpleton. I like my skincare to be effective and fast. So, of course, me and my AI bestie, I don't want to hear about the water people.

SPEAKER_01: I know about AI, but I still like live on, breathe on it, and die on it.

SPEAKER_00: I think that's just when you make when we make pictures of ourselves, from what I understand.

SPEAKER_01: And I'm not making pictures of myself.

SPEAKER_00: Well, I do sometimes, but you do. I'm not well I did for my hair because it's okay. Well that's gonna take the extensions on. Remember? Oh, yes. I'm gonna get our haircut, and I want to know what I'm gonna look like.

SPEAKER_01: So I did do I don't do pictures anymore on AI because he always makes me look amazing, and then I'm like, well, I don't look like that. And now I'm like, well, what version of where did you how do I get like that? I know I wear this a little distorted. That chick is awesome. We look way better. Put this in to my chippy and said, Okay, you know my skincare issues. I actually took a picture of my skin. He was a little rough. I'm like, dude, yeah, back off. Like, he's like, Yeah, your texture's a little this, your coloring's a little back.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and he built me, and I now have a morning routine, I have an evening routine that we switch off because it's got some retinal stuff in it. So, and then I I probably am using seven of the products. So a bunch of them are just to the side. There's a couple things. I mean, what you I'm gonna get there because the idea is I'm gonna use these because I really want to see.

SPEAKER_01: No, I just jumped right in.

SPEAKER_00: But with your products, and then you're gonna eventually try the other ones.

SPEAKER_01: Yes, I will, yes, I will. Some of these are like once a week you use an item or twice a week, but I want to go through this main ones that he's having me use consistently, and then as I let's say start to run out of things, then I'll rotate some other stuff in. But I'm gonna tell you, I'm using seven or eight of these and they feel phenomenal. Okay. Like I can't even explain to you. My skin feels good. It I don't know if it looks any different. Well, but I did take a picture the day I started, which was a couple weeks ago.

SPEAKER_01: I'm actually making Sean do it. Okay. I had it build Sean a little because Sean does not do any stuff. Okay, yeah. Yeah. So every night he gets in bed and I walk over and I put a little of this on and I go back and do mine, and I come back a minute later and do the next step. His is a four-step product, his is easy. But yeah, I mean it takes all of maybe like seven minutes. I mean, but it's got like a lip, there's actually a lip product in here that is fantastic that you do every single thing. But I can't, I cannot tell you guys this$100.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah. I mean, there's and I'm not, I love skincare, but I'm not spending$100 on one product. Yeah. Like I just, it's I mean, I know it's out there. I know there's also great some of the Instagram influencers who are dermatologists. Yeah, I love those when they show like the Trader Joe stuff or they show Neutrogeno or the products of the drugstores. I love those because there's really good products out there that are not expensive, but for$100 for$22, that's a size.

SPEAKER_00: And I and Korean skincare is literally like all the range right now.

SPEAKER_01: It just smells good. It feels good.

SPEAKER_00: My pet sitters went to Korea and I think they're going back again.

SPEAKER_01: I was like, can you guys please bring me back some products? Well, I didn't even tell you, it's stylekorean.com. It is, I just cannot even together.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can't tell you, like, if you can't see this, the packaging is really cool. It's beautiful. And I must like I'm assuming they're I mean, from you know, Korean women have the most beautiful skin on the planet. Um, in fact, when uh Maddie and I got our nails done a while back, um, one of the gals was she was from Korea, and she Maddie's pretty fair um compared to like I would say maybe Layla. Um, she could not stop talking about Maddie's fair, beautiful, flawless skin. Um, and she said I don't know what I'm allergic to.

SPEAKER_00: I'm still allergic to I don't know what's happening to me today. Um uh she just could not, she's like, this is what we strive for in Korea is this skin, meaning Maddie's like beautiful skin, which is why they're very fair.

SPEAKER_01: And we want to be tan, which is I do know why it's I want good skin, but I also want to have but that's why we but I don't want to lay in the sun. I'll lay in the sun with my body by trying to cover my face. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's a beautiful I just can't explain to you how I was shocked. I thought, okay, this is you know, I hope this isn't like a scam.

SPEAKER_00: Well, it's kind of like one of those boxes are called like um, I don't know, like fit fit fab fun. I used to order those or like a almost like a stitch fix kind of box, but this is this is gonna last you forever.

SPEAKER_01: I actually did research on this before I because I mean everything I have to cross everything through Shippy, and I said, Is this real? Yeah, I see so much stuff on Instagram, and I'm constantly like, is this real? And he always shoots me down. Well, like, no, that's not real. That's marketing, blah, blah, blah. This one, he actually said, that's actually a really great box, and that has really great products. And for the price point, absolutely get it. Well, so I'm like three weeks in. I think my sister will order that.

SPEAKER_01: I have to, Megan, I'm gonna give you a thumbs up. It's freaking amazing. Everything just feels you feel so clean, but not tight. Well, I'm excited to see hydrated, like if you're gonna do before and after. Yeah, I took, I took a video and I took, I have, I tend to be pretty red. I'm blotchy. I've got fair skin, freckles, yeah, sun damage from a lot of sun in my younger years. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it's just kind of, you know, like trying to keep it all tight and right.

unknown: It's tight.

SPEAKER_01: Two challenge people trying to keep all of this. I'm not talking about this because this is not tight or right. I'm just talking about it's hard to keep it tight and right in your late 40s, 50s, and 60s. We're actually gonna be having someone on that I'm super excited by who is about midlife weight loss because I have struggled my whole life, as I've said, and I'm really hoping she's gonna help me because this tight and right is not happening.

SPEAKER_00: And I I think what we talk about is like people, you know, maybe not using GLPs, and like she clearly has lost weight. I'm curious to know if she's used to GLP or if she's doing it the freaking old-fashioned way by you know eating well and yes, GLPs have another conversation.

SPEAKER_01: But yeah, we'll be having her on very soon. But I am super excited to have a conversation with her and learn what she's been doing and how she lost 150 pounds. Yeah, before I think before GLPs were even a thing. Yeah, I don't I don't know the story. Yeah, um, but tight and right, I mean face.

SPEAKER_00: That's if I can just get my face tight and right, it's gonna be the new model. We gotta keep it tight and tight. Tight and right. Tight and right, tight and right and tanned. Okay, you can't tone it, tan it. Yeah, we can't tone it, tan it, and keep it tight and right. Keep it tight and right.

SPEAKER_01: All of you who are tan and toned and tight and right, God bless you all. Okay, our finale. Finale. And I don't know about this product. I do not know. This is a bonus product that I'm gonna tell you. This is a life changer. This is called Wet and Wait Forget.

SPEAKER_00: I feel like we're on right now. I know, we're on like a game show. No, a game, not what's um no like QPC. We're doing like a oh, we're like the host. We're the host of QBC selling products.

SPEAKER_01: Sorry, this though, this you guys not selling this, you have to get it. I don't even know what that is. Wet and Forget shower. I'm not kidding you. It has this is the soft vanilla scent. I shockingly do not love to clean my shower. I don't, I just we have tile is all the way up to like basically the ceiling. It's so it's a big, it's not a big shower, but it just has tile everywhere. Yeah, yeah, has a built-in seat, and so then there's like obviously an area under the seat. Yeah, total pain in the ass to clean.

SPEAKER_01: I don't have a house cleaner, totally fine. I have to do it myself. This stuff comes with a little spray. You literally spray it all over your shower. Because I don't have a housekeeper anymore. And then you literally just leave it the next morning. I mean, there's times, you guys, this is so gross. So I'm gonna I'm gonna just throw it out there because I'm a super authentic person.

SPEAKER_00: Yes, we love it.

SPEAKER_01: Go. Maybe a little too much. There are moments when I get in my shower and I'm like, is that orange?

SPEAKER_00: Oh, like rust.

SPEAKER_01: Okay, but hard hard water.

SPEAKER_00: Our defense. You see some of the streets in Eagle or there it's well, we have them here.

SPEAKER_01: Like the iron, there's iron.

SPEAKER_00: So we have very hard water, and there's iron in our water. And if you use bleach on our grout here with the water, it actually deteriorates our grout. But I just pour the bleach on because I don't like the one like when it starts to rust and get um.

SPEAKER_01: Oh, so I don't use I mean I don't I just this this actually requires our shower to like get on your hands and knees and like actually really, really scrub. And I use like the pink stuff, but I did like this. But there will be times I get in and I'd be like, oh my gosh, our shower is disgusting. Okay, like literally, like I'm like, okay, this is all white, and then under, because again, under the bench, if you're looking, you're like, that is an entirely other color. I mean, it's one of those where if like my mother was coming into town, yeah, oh my gosh, like I'd have to hire a professional.

SPEAKER_01: But then I found this stuff, and literally takes three minutes. Okay, you literally leave it the next morning, clean. So it's not kidding. And it's a gigantic, this is a two-quart. It's like set it and forget it. It is the food, the the crop pot. Or wait, the meal pie. Set it and forget it. You guys, I'm not kidding you. Again, probably another Instagram person. Okay. And I was like, that looks amazing. If it even does one-fourth of what she says it does. Okay. And have to tell you. What's it called?

SPEAKER_01: Okay, it's called wet. It's called wet and forget shower. It is wet. I don't know if it comes in other scents. This is just the soft vanilla scent. I'm not sniffing it. You literally just sprayed it out. It's the best. Okay, it does say it says no scrubbing. Yeah. Spray today. Yep.

SPEAKER_00: It's got no rinse tomorrow, no black.

SPEAKER_01: No harsh hues. So, right, I am getting it. I yeah, I have to tell you, it is that one. This is my bonus because this is. Okay, wait. And where did you get it and how much that was it? Well, we obviously know I got it on Amazon. Okay. Because everything comes on Amazon. And let me just tell you, and for get. Yeah. I did not pull prices before we did this, which I have done. I think everything's sexual, but wet and forget. Come on. I think we need to get you back into the dating pool. Um, okay, you guys, this is all of$19.

SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay. And it lasts. Again, depending on your location, you can get it by tomorrow. And it I I've had this for this has been this I've had this at least for a year.

unknown: Oh.

SPEAKER_01: Because you use so little of it. Right, okay. I mean, it looks like it's right, you're using such a small amount of product even though I well, you know what I mean. I only really clean ours. Oh, okay. Because the other's a half bath. This one upstairs is uh, you know, it's a guest bath that gets cleaned when the guests come, which we never have guests. And then the other bathroom is a bathroom that no one ever goes into. So that one really never gets. And I clean that like yeah, I'll hit that maybe once a month.

SPEAKER_01: Okay. And I'm not I'm not scrubbing bathrooms. I don't want it. I do my bathroom twice a week. I don't want to scrub. And then I do our guest bathroom twice a week. Okay. But the other ones, this is no scrub, you guys. So I'm gonna tell you, it's amazing. So I hope this was a little bit more light-hearted.

SPEAKER_00: And I hope that you see yourself or like resonate with some of this, and this if any of this stuff makes your life a little bit happier, more smiley, a little bit more pep in your step, or makes you feel good because you have longer lashes or softer hair or bigger hair closer to God, or shower you don't have to clean, or you feel a little bit more tan or bronzed. I don't know. Life is too short. Put the freaking bronzer on and make your hair big and I don't know. Don't progress. Scrub your shower.

SPEAKER_01: And don't scrub your shower. So great being with you. We will be back very soon. And if you guys have products that you love, we get lots of amazing DMs from people. Yeah. And I have to tell you, we read all of them, we respond to all of them. Tell us your favorite products. I want to we enlighten us. We need to do a part two. Yeah, maybe we do a part two when it's based on what you guys tell us to buy, and we'll get it all and we'll test it out and and tell you what we love to do about it.

SPEAKER_00: We would love that. Okay, you guys have a message us, have an awesome week. Thanks for joining us. We are so grateful for your listening ears, and we will talk to you next time. Life is messy, be well.
