Welcome back everyone to my channel.

So you are in for a special treat

because I got my sister to sit in for this video because we're gonna do a fun sister secrets.

So for those of you who don't know this is my sister Christine.

Even though she doesn't look exactly like me, we have the same mom, different dad. So...

That's why we look a little different.

- I actually think you look more like mommy.

I do.

Honestly, I I feel like as I'm getting older, I definitely look more like mommy for sure.

You do.

If my mom was white, this is what she would look like.

So Christine has a bunch of prompts.

that she generated and I don't know what they are

but they're basically going to be questions that's going to get us to connect even more.

If I were a character in a movie, what kind of role would I be playing?

And would it be embarrassing?

If you were a character in a movie, what kind of role would you be playing?

You would just be like the annoying sister.

I mean, that's what you already are. So.

But it's like the annoying sister that's lovable.

Like what I give a lot of credit to Christine for is she's kind of like the glue to the family.

So sometimes when there's family disputes or people are not vibing with each other, there's beef.

She's so good at coming in and she's kind of like the peacemaker.

She forces people to come back together.

And she saved my relationship so many times.

I can't I give you so much credit, honestly.

Like, I think you saved everyone's relationships like not mine.

Promise it.

Not mine.

Well, damn.

She she put it up there.

He's saving everyone but me.

But I will give you credit for that.

Like, you're kind of like the human resource.

for our family.

Yeah.

HR.

I don't know if that's actually a role in a movie.

I actually don't really understand the question But I'm answering it the best I can.

I pick questions for you to ask me mostly.

Have you ever secretly used my beauty products or tools without asking? Which one?

Which one haven't I?

well I don't know I mean should I know um yeah I mean I love going to Michelle's house

because it's just like a plethora of

beauty items and like I'm a soccer girly I I don't dabble in the beauty world

but I remember when I first moved to LA I like it.

stayed at her place and i would always go to her bathroom at night to shower

because she had all of her skin care there oh yeah yeah yeah

and i would i didn't know what i was doing

but i was applying all of it and my skin would feel

so fresh and she didn't know

that i was doing this until apparently i didn't screw on

the top to one of her products all the way and she knocked it over one day and THE LAST NIGHT.

It was like one of her most expensive products for sure.

Wow.

It's funny because I don't remember that.

Yeah, that's why I don't hold on to grudges because I literally forget things.

Yeah.

So see, I'm sorry, you know, I'm sorry I got mad at you.

I don't even remember it.

I don't.

I don't even remember it.

I don't blame you though.

Yeah.

Because it was.

It was a very expensive product.

And I was just using a lot of stuff.

If you can tell one embarrassing story about me at my wedding, what would it be?

I'm throwing myself out there.

If I could share one embarrassing story with my sister.

Yeah, yeah.

What's an embarrassing story?

Because for me, when I think about embarrassing stories, I don't know if I just block them out or I don't find it embarrassing.

But it's like.. from an outside perspective I want to see.

Embarrassing story.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're putting me on the spot.

I'm trying to think.

I'm just trying to think of something.

It's like, do I want to share something recent or share something a long time ago?

I don't know.

I don't feel like you really do anything embarrassing.

You're pretty cool to me.

I'm really trying to think like...

- Oh, she's so nice.

- No, I'm not nice.

I want to roast you, but I can't find anything to roast you about.

- I don't think she has it in her.

- But maybe.

- No, I do have it in me.

What is the most embarrassing thing?

Let me think.

I really have to think now.

I mean, I have a hard time finding my embarrassing stories too, so it's...

What?

Thank you.

Did you think of one?

What is it?

100

I'm prepping myself.

101

So...

102

- Yeah.

103

I don't know what she's thinking of.

104

So, My sister and I, we get a pedicure.

105

- - So we get pedicures and we're both like, let's both get matching sets.

106

We're gonna get white toes.

107

We're so cute.

108

One month later, Christine is talking to like her best friend

109

and she's complaining about her relationship and she's on FaceTime and what is it that Naomi said?

110

Her best friend?

111

Christine, you need to stop worrying about that man and start worrying about those fringe tips over there.

112

Thank you.

113

She was talking about my toes that were so grown out and it wasn't just a month.

114

It was like a couple of months.

115

But that's I don't even think that's any better.

116

And I just kept on like cutting them down.

117

But I didn't cut off like I didn't like get the paint redone.

118

So it was just.

119

They look like French tips, dude.

120

But clearly we're not French tips.

121

Good one.

122

That was a good one.

123

See, I told you, I just had to really think.

124

I'll pull it out.

125

That was such a good laugh.

126

Oh my gosh.

127

So this is a good segue to give special thanks to the sponsor of today's video.

128

I want to give shout out to YouLike, an amazing IPL device that you can do at home.

129

And if you've never tried laser hair removal, this is painless.

130

You don't feel any pain at all.

131

And I've done real IPL in real life and it's very expensive.

132

You have to do it what I found out is that a few years later,

133

it's not permanent and your hair grows back darker and thicker and you end up with cactus legs like me.

134

So you want to make sure to wear glasses.

135

It's very important to protect your eyes.

136

It comes with glasses.

137

I'm also gonna put mine on.

138

So IPL means intense pulsed light and it works by using a broad spectrum of light that targets and destroys hair follicles.

139

Ultimately it reduces hair growth and it really does work.

140

I saw the results myself and this is a technology that's been around for a very long time.

141

I'm gonna go ahead and show you how to use it.

142

Like I said, it's super intuitive.

143

So all you have to do is turn on this button.

144

It has a power button.

145

You can hear the fan.

146

So this fan powers the frost mode.

147

So you should have that nice cooling sensation as you press and that blast of light comes out.

148

I'm going to go ahead and start with my underarms.

149

And you just want to hold this down and make sure you press directly on where you want to remove the hair.

150

and as you hold it, it should just fly through.

151

and do the work.

152

And that's it.

153

Very easy.

154

Does that hurt?

155

It doesn't hurt at all.

156

I don't feel anything.

157

We love that.

158

ZAP THOSE PITS.

159

Keep you, keep you.

160

Do you need to like shave down your armpits first or?

161

Yes, it's very important to, let me turn this off because it's that fan is strong, but you see how powerful this is.

162

Yes, so the set comes with a razor.

163

You do want to shave first just because you want to make sure

164

that the light is able to go through the roots.

165

Heat from the light travels down to the hair shaft, to the root where the hair follicle lives, and the heat damages and destroys that follicle,

166

essentially disrupting the ability for it to produce new hair.

167

And so very important for you to shave first and then use this.

168

So we can take off our glasses, it's safe now.

169

So I don't know if you know this, but every 10 devices they sell, they donate one to charity.

170

So I stopped by one of the shelters that you like, they donate a lot of their devices to, especially women who are suffering with PCOS.

171

So PCOS is polycystic ovary syndrome a lot of people actually have it

172

and they don't know

173

and i feel like woman's health is something that's like not

174

talked about a lot like how many of us still hide our pads

175

and like tampons when we go to the bathroom it's like it's kind of silly you know yeah

176

but it affects your hormones.

177

They don't know exactly what causes it, But...

178

It can contribute to more facial hair.

179

The hormone...

180

It's the male -producing hormone.

181

Yeah, androgens.

182

So male and female, they both have it.

183

So women with PCOS, they.. have extra androgen in their hormones and that is what creates more hair on their body.

184

And a lot of the customers who love Ulike, they have PCOS.

185

And so Ulike has committed to donating devices to charities that support women and those who have PCOS.

186

And so every 10 devices that are sold, they give one away.

187

And they say it takes up to 12 weeks to see results that are truly satisfying.

188

So starting from the first week up to the third week, it's very important to use the U -Like device up to three times a week.

189

Then after that, By week four to six, you can use it up to two times a week.

190

And then by week seven to ten, you can use it once or twice a month.

191

And this is just small touch ups that you can do to maintain the results.

192

so how long does it take to do a full body treatment it takes

193

10 minutes if you go on the auto glide mode.

194

So as soon as it zaps, you just go.

195

Yeah, you just keep going.

196

This is the ultimate holiday gift.

197

It's also very easy to use.

198

It's super intuitive.

199

And it's so cute.

200

That's a really pretty color.

201

It's nearly pain -free.

202

In fact, I don't want to say nearly.

203

I didn't feel any pain at all.

204

It's a little alarming at first when it zaps, but it doesn't hurt because there's like a cooling effect, so it's soothing.

205

It's very soothing.

206

You don't really feel the zap or anything at all.

207

Try it for 90 days.

208

If you don't like it, return it.

209

Get your money back guaranteed.

210

So this You Like Holiday Edition retails at $419, but with my promo code, you can knock off $130.

211

It is available for you for $289.

212

213

- Back to the question.

214

- Okay.

215

- You can go next.

216

- If we could time travel, what beauty disaster of mine would you stop me from doing?

217

- I don't know if it'd be like a beauty disaster,

218

'cause like I feel like relatively You're.. your beauty your makeup and stuff has been fine.

219

But there was a fashion time That was terrible.

220

Terrible.

221

She I would always come to visit her.

222

And she'd always be like, Oh, Christine, like, you can go through my closet and take whatever you want.

223

I remember I came and I was so excited because I knew that I could always raid her closet

224

And this was like during one of her times, I think it was like 2010.

225

I went through a closet and I was so sad because I was like, Michelle, I can't.

226

She was like, do you want anything?

227

I was like, no, I'm okay.

228

But I told her, I was like, Michelle, please never.

229

I had pants that looked like.

230

a circus tent i was like it was

231

and it was very like fashion forward i guess

232

but it was like i was saying michelle please never do

233

this again to me it feels like a thousand michelles ago it literally feels like a past life

234

so i have no attachment but that was

235

that was the one time i was like hard no like hard no absolutely not Oh,

236

I actually know the answer to this, I think.

237

But I think it's funny anyway.

238

um what's the dumbest lie you've ever told me

239

that i actually believed it's funny i have such a good memory

240

and michelle like doesn't remember things like this

241

and i have the memory of like an elephant yeah yeah

242

243

Wait, can you tell now?

244

I want to know.

245

I want to know.

246

Okay.

247

So when I'm Dory, so I don't remember anything.

248

I'm telling like 15 minutes.

249

I'm gonna say the story.

250

So what happened was that when I was little, she had like a cassette player I think it was a cassette player.

251

And she had like a Spice Girls mix and then she had a Backstreet Boys one.

252

Okay.

253

And I was obsessed with Backstreet Boys.

254

obsessed. Who wasn't?

255

I was like five maybe, and I was bumping that.

256

I was.. all about it.

257

And I remember Michelle told me, that she knew the Backstreet Boys.

258

Oh my gosh, I don't remember this.

259

She told me that she knew the Backstreet Boys and that her friend was cousins. with Kevin.

260

Wow.

261

The one you had a crush.

262

The one I had a crush on.

263

We all had a crush on.

264

And she was like, Christine, like, that was like her little thing.

265

She was like, Christine, like, if you want to meet him, you got to.

266

Wow.

267

And I remember this and I was out here being like, she'd be like, Christine, like, you got to be quiet.

268

And I'd be like, OK.

269

Like if you want to meet him, you got to be quiet.

270

And I'd be like, okay.

271

I was like, And I, for years, it wasn't just like a year, it was like, probably until I was about eight or nine

272

that I like held on to this I was like oh one day I'm wait were you just annoying

273

and that's I just wanted to be quiet yeah yeah yeah

274

I remember she said like she said it was annoying

275

because I would do this thing where like I just wanted to hang out with Michelle

276

277

so annoying yeah I just wanted to draw I wanted to

278

279

I'm like a ball of energy.

280

281

But she'd be like, Christine, like play, play in the living room.

282

And like, maybe I'll call my friend.

283

You just needed so much attention.

284

And like, she's eight years younger than me.

285

So, you know, I'm trying to like, I'm trying to...

286

find myself and figure out what I want to do in life.

287

And this, this thing over here, eight years younger is like, still believes in Santa Claus.

288

- Little old me.

289

believed I was gonna meet the Backstreet Boys.

290

I believed that Kevin was gonna be my future husband.

291

Wow.

292

No, I know a question to ask you.

293

What is the most effed up thing I've ever done to you as a sister?

294

Okay, the first thing that came into mind was...

295

When we were at the nail salon, Is this going around the right thing?

296

The nail salon? that's i mean that's one of it that's

297

a core that's crazy that's a core memory of yours it's

298

a core memory it's a core memory it's such a core memory

299

so i remember i feel like there's three things

300

that happened at the nail salon yeah definitely i probably could name all three of them but this one was um

301

We were sitting on she had me sitting on like this like shelf thing

302

and she turned around or something and i like she wasn't paying attention

303

and i like fell back

304

and my back went on to like she scraped her back i scraped the back on the shelf

305

and she was like are you okay and i was like yeah

306

and we went to the bathroom and we lifted up my shirt

307

and i had this like giant mark i remember

308

and she was like don't tell mommy yeah i i don't i think there was - So Christine had like her hand,

309

you know, when you open a door and on the other end, it's so, so basically the hinge.

310

Yeah.

311

She had her pinky finger in the metal door.

312

And I close and I literally thought I chopped your finger off.

313

I was so scared.

314

And I was so, when you were screaming and I still saw your pinky, I was so happy, but I think my reaction was really inappropriate.

315

Cause I thought I was just happy that your pinky was still there, but you were like, ah, it was so bad.

316

I'll never forget that.

317

I was like, That's why like when I see babies are hurt and kids are hurt, it really breaks my heart.

318

But I was so grateful that you didn't lose a pinky.

319

Yeah.

320

By practicing with this transcript, you will enhance your speaking skills, as well as your ability to understand humor and familial dynamics in English. Pay close attention to the nuances of their banter and the emotional subtleties behind their words, which will help you sound more natural and confident in your own conversations.

Practice Tips

To optimize your learning process with this video transcript, consider implementing the shadowing technique. This involves listening to the audio multiple times and attempting to speak along with it. Use a shadowing app or audio recording to help track your progress as you echo their sentences.

As you practice, start by focusing on the emotional tone and pacing of the conversation. The sisters' dialogue includes humor and familiarity, which adds a unique charm to their interaction. It's essential to capture not just the words, but also the inflection and rhythm to improve your English pronunciation.

For effective shadowing, try these steps:

First, listen to the conversation without repeating anything to understand the context.
Next, listen again and pause after each sentence to repeat it aloud.
Finally, record your voice using a shadow speaking technique; this will help you compare your pronunciation to theirs deeply.

Revisit sections that you find challenging. Engaging in this practice with attention will not only improve your speaking abilities but will also help you develop a sense of the natural flow of everyday conversations in English.

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	you've never tried · I've done · that's been
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	are sold · are hurt
Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	women who are · those who have

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
