Shadowing Practice: things that are elevating my life | Episode 48 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Guys we just had to restart this episode because Winston was oh and back we go just eating absolute fucking ass

I'm gonna be honest with you this whole This house is falling apart This house is falling apart Ah,

where to begin?

I guess in regards to the house falling apart, we went to New York Fashion Week, which I have a couple of things I would like to say.

No, please continue to eat ass.

Everybody loves the sound of that.

But the mic got just a little ASMR.

Hey, this video is brought to you by Frontline.

Make sure your dogs have their flea and tick medication.

So the panning over to the part of New York Fashion Week that I wanted to call out, I threw up for the first time.

I actually lied.

I had said that I hadn't thrown up since college, but I forgot that when I first discovered I had endometriosis,

I threw up on two periods in 2019.

I forgot about that.

But that was a different kind of vomiting.

It was from pain.

Pain vomiting is very different than being ill and vomiting.

but if you know nothing about me probably one of the most important things you should know is

that I am deathly afraid of throwing up it started I

don't know what my mom said even as a kid I

like never threw up I've probably can count on one hand

how many times I've thrown up from like the inception of my life to now I hate it

so much I don't like

when other people throw up I don't like being around it

I can't hear it I can't see it I can't even

have a conversation about it honestly like this conversation is triggering

me i was fucking terrible it was actually my worst nightmare

so kelsey and aria bopping around new york fashion week

and you know i wasn't making the best decisions i i

mom don't listen to this part i i did smoke like eight cigarettes on one day

that was my fault we'll never do

that again i do not condone it i paid i paid

the fucking consequences i faced the consequences don't worry we went out the the the night before we had a show, we had two events.

It was a very long day.

The fashion weeks of it all, you're just like really running on adrenaline.

You're not eating meals.

You're not drinking water.

You're not sleeping.

You're jet lagged.

You're socially drained.

You're like shoving an almond in your mouth when you have three seconds and calling it a meal.

It's just like a very short term shock to your system.

And I only had two drinks the night before.

And I didn't even register the cigarettes.

Honestly, it was my mom that texted me the next morning.

It was like, it's that the cigarettes.

And I'm like, you know what?

You're right, actually.

I think they are bad for you.

I woke up the next morning.

I went to bed at 4am, woke up at 8.

Kelsey's sleeping next to me.

Honestly, thank God Kelsey was there.

I would have had way more anxiety if you guys remember when I went to Vegas.

Oh, that was very spooky the next morning in the hotel room.

But I woke up and I went to bed at four, it was eight.

I was like, oh man, I can't lay down.

I kind of felt nauseous.

And then I, anytime I, just the idea of being nauseous causes me anxiety.

So then I start having like a panic attack

and then I can't figure out if the nausea is because I'm anxious or because I'm actually ill, both mentally and physically.

So I start feeling a little funkiness in my throat and I'm like, no, there's just, there's no way.

Like I kind of just feel like I'm stronger than throw up.

I feel like my body knows that I can't do it and it will avoid it at all costs.

Yeah, I went to the bathroom and I sat on the floor for a second.

That's that's that's the moment that's hard is the getting out of the bed to go sit in the bathroom

because that's when you that's that's accepting that it might happen.

And I kept just being like, no, if I just don't open my mouth, I don't speak and I don't go over there.

It'll never happen.

And then I sat on the floor and I started Googling.

I'm thinking to myself, God, this is so weird that I'm hung over because I'm The two times I can recall of me in my,

actually in my entire life being the drunkest I've ever been.

One was Vegas.

You guys remember the strip club.

That was probably the most drunk I've ever been.

And the second time was when Kelsey and I were in Turks and Caicos with Tarte.

And I'm sitting on the floor thinking, I didn't fucking throw up during those times.

And I was taking shots.

I just had two drinks last night.

What's going on?

and then I start googling I'll tell you what I haven't prayed in a

while I was praying I was fucking praying like I was

having I was like God universe whoever's controlling stuff around here

whoever I'm gonna speak to I know it's been a

while sorry got caught up with some stuff help me out

please I was crying like I was really going through it and then I got up I googled I said,

can Zofran fix a hangover?

Because I had Zofran.

And at this point, I'm convinced it's a hangover.

And it says like, yeah, it'll help with nausea.

But like, you need to drink.

I'm like, yeah, whatever.

I don't need the politically correct answer.

Is it going to stop me from throwing up?

I get up.

I run to the living room of our hotel room.

And Kelsey's like, Kelsey like kind of is awake.

And I was like, I'm not well.

100

And she starts laughing because usually that just like we're kidding

101

because she's never we've been friends for no damn 20 years it's been

102

that long since we've been in high school spooky oh my god we've Kelsey

103

and I have known each other for almost 20 years in 20 years that Kelsey

104

and I have been friends she has never seen me throw

105

up Shane's obviously never seen me thrown up throw up

106

so I say I'm unwell and she laughs

107

and I say no like I think I'm gonna throw up

108

I grab my Zofran pop it I thought it was like my kryptonite I might like reverse.

109

I was like, this is going to pop it.

110

I'm not even kidding you.

111

I take a sip of water.

112

I swallow it immediately run to the bathroom and start vomiting.

113

And in between the vomit, I'm yelling out to Kelsey.

114

Sorry, Kelsey.

115

Sorry, Kelsey, because I had to keep the bathroom door open.

116

And I would have been so angry if I were Kelsey.

117

I would have been like, shut the fucking door

118

and put soundproof on the walls you selfish fucking bitch i had to keep the door open

119

because i was just like really going through it

120

and i just like needed to know that there was a body near me

121

so i kept the door open so i thought

122

that what would be better than just hearing me throw up

123

was to hear my muffled apology gurgling in between everything kelsey's like falling over right now.

124

And she wouldn't respond.

125

No, I know.

126

I know.

127

She just reenacted it.

128

I'll reenact it for you.

129

Sorry, Kelsey.

130

Sorry, Kelsey.

131

Okay.

132

I'm so sorry if any of you are like semi-nauseous right now.

133

Don't listen to this episode if you're hungover.

134

So then I, she's not answering.

135

And I said, okay, it's either one of two things.

136

She can't hear me or she has her fingers in her ears.

137

But I kept saying it every time because I wanted to make sure she heard me.

138

And then I felt fine.

139

I have to like the fourth one.

140

I was like, good.

141

She's like, are you going to flush the toilet?

142

I was like, I'm going to be honest with you, TMI.

143

You wouldn't even know that I threw up.

144

I was just like puking water.

145

It was disgusting.

146

Then I will say this.

147

I get out of there.

148

You know, after you're sick or you're nauseous, you're like so hypersensitive to smells.

149

Oh, this gets me nauseous thinking about it.

150

You know, the delivery.

151

You're super sensitive to like scent anything.

152

Like I couldn't even like think about bread.

153

Like I was just like, don't talk about, I like didn't want to look at the mini bar.

154

I couldn't think of anything.

155

Well, at the exact moment that I was throwing up, I forgot that we were getting a delivery from two of my favorite food and beverage companies,

156

Poppy and Pops Bagels, right?

157

Pop-up bagels.

158

When did I say Pops Bagels?

159

Pop-up bagels.

160

Well, they did a collab with my favorite Poppy flavor, Shirley Temple.

161

And they came up with a Shirley Temple flavored cream cheese.

162

Can you imagine?

163

Can you imagine?

164

Can you imagine walking out of the bathroom post throw up and the door opens and you just get a whiff.

165

It's a bag of 12 everything bagels and the smell of Shirley Temple flavored cream cheese.

166

Diabolo.

167

I was like, this can't be happening to me.

168

It was like my dream date.

169

So that was my saga.

170

I was very proud of myself that I got through it.

171

Kelsey was a fucking trooper for dealing with me because I would have been like, go to the lobby and do that.

172

And I am not.

173

I haven't been around many people that throw up because I avoid them like the fucking plague.

174

But I would imagine that on the spectrum of insufferable pukers, I'm as far insufferable as you can go.

175

It's a full blown exorcism anyway

176

that being said fashion week was great i love fashion week

177

i i will say i don't know a lot of people

178

are really fucking entitled like i'm just gonna say it like a lot of people are really fucking entitled

179

and full of themselves and think that they're curing cancer

180

and rude um i have a really hard time with new york fashion week there's a lot of ego

181

at New York Fashion.

182

I mean, there's a lot of ego everywhere.

183

There's a lot of ego in fashion.

184

There's a lot of ego in content creation.

185

I know that there has always been a lot of discourse and we've talked about this, about creators going to Fashion Week and people are like, oh, whatever.

186

Like, I'm not gonna, like, I'm not one to comment on that.

187

I think that it's always existed, that that's always existed.

188

They used to be called socialites.

189

Like, it's just, they are the direct connection to the public.

190

Like it absolutely, content creators have evolved.

191

Like they used to be socialites, you know, not there, then they were, you know, bloggers and then they were influencers, then they were content creators.

192

And now the lines are so blurred.

193

They're just entertainers.

194

And I, and I think that, you know, there's, there's room for all different kinds of creators

195

and entertainers and artists at these shows that that is not to say just because you have a fuck ton of followers, you like should be entitled to go.

196

I think that there are people that are really interested and love doing this and are very grateful and enjoy it.

197

And other people that just do it because they think they need to do it.

198

And you can tell there's a I just I had a couple like, oh, man, it you.

199

Yeah, I don't know.

200

New York has always been the hardest one for me.

201

And I don't know if that's because it's predominantly so many content creators.

202

Whereas if you go to the Paris and Milan, you have less people that are going to those.

203

New York is you're getting a lot of creators and there are a lot of really fucking annoying creators.

204

I mean, honestly, like it's just there's a lot of people that think we're out here like doing crazy things.

205

There's a lot of people out here that think

206

because they have like a following that they're like more important or that anybody gives a fuck.

207

I'm going to tell you this when I didn't have a following when I was just like a struggling actor.

208

And then when I do have a following, I don't give a fuck.

209

I don't care.

210

Like if you start flexing to me about your following count, if anything, it gives me the fucking ick.

211

It's weird.

212

You're not more important.

213

It doesn't mean anything to me.

214

It's just like kind of crazy that when you go to these things, I mean, it's the same thing when I was an actor, I would go to like auditions and be in the waiting room and you would talk to somebody and be like,

215

oh, what have you been up to?

216

What are you doing?

217

Like making conversation.

218

And people would only want to talk about, well, I just booked this job and I'm going to be filming this movie.

219

I don't care.

220

What are you doing outside of this?

221

Like when I ask you, what have you been up to?

222

We both got the same invite.

223

We're both sitting front row at a fashion show.

224

We both are in the same world.

225

I don't give a fuck that you're booking this campaign and shooting this thing.

226

I literally don't care.

227

Like, I don't care.

228

And I think that's why I'm very appreciative, even more so of having Kelsey there with me because she keeps me grounded.

229

And I think that it really allows me to go.

230

I made the analogy yesterday to Kelsey, where I was like, when you have the ambulance driver and the person in the passenger seat,

231

the ambulance's driver, their job is just to like get to where they need to go.

232

And the person in the passenger seat is in charge of being aware of like pedestrians crossing

233

and red lights and stop signs.

234

And Kelsey is that for me, right?

235

Like I just need to focus on like, where am I going?

236

What do I need to go to?

237

Where do I need to be?

238

What do I need to be doing?

239

And Kelsey is just kind of keeping me in check.

240

And it allows me to not get too invested.

241

I think when I go by myself sometimes and I have interactions like that, they like really weigh on me and I get really defeated.

242

And I really have to just learn to protect my energy, which has been very hard to do and not let it affect me

243

because I will say I'm like two bad interactions away from just being totally jaded.

244

So I have to like really keep myself in check.

245

But the actual fashion of Fashion Week, the actual going to shows and being in glam and I love it.

246

It's there's so many talented people that create these beautiful shows.

247

And I'm always just extremely grateful to go to be able to go

248

and to be considered and invited and it's always a career high for me.

249

So we had a great time minus the fucking throwing up.

250

I was going through Q&As the other day on our little list and somebody had asked like, what are your favorites right now?

251

It was like favorite TV shows, favorite products, favorite, some other favorites.

252

So I thought that I would do a like products right now that are like elevating my life.

253

I post a lot of these on social media.

254

This is just a little collective of the consistent things.

255

I mean, if you're more interested, I post specific ones for like skincare and makeup and some of that sort.

256

But this is a little bit more lifestyle, just things that I've had in my life for the last year or two or more.

257

And I know I'm going to do this and I'm going to say, fuck, I forgot so many things.

258

But these were the first things that came to my mind.

259

OK, I have to tell.

260

OK, I'll tell that story after.

261

Yeah, I'll tell the story after.

262

OK, number one, Brooklinen washed European linen sheets.

263

I've been talking about these for a year now.

264

They changed my life.

265

I will never forget.

266

Shane and I, when we first started dating, we use like cheap ass fucking amazon sheets

267

and comforters i don't think i am never going to be of the mindset

268

that more expensive equals better quality keep

269

that in mind it does not there are things with a big price tag

270

that are fucking dog shit

271

that being said i never it never felt justifiable to invest in sheets

272

because i'm like they're sheets how much different can can they be And I was wrong.

273

Having good bedding changes my quality of life.

274

And if you are also teetering on that and you're like, I don't know, I'm telling you good bedding.

275

And there's this is not the only good bedding.

276

I love parachute.

277

Parachute is unbelievable.

278

I actually have their comforter.

279

Love their comforter.

280

I have two of them, actually, one in our guest room and one in our bedroom.

281

And whenever I get one dry cleaned, I kind of rotate.

282

It's my favorite comforter ever.

283

the sheets are the most comfortable things ever I remember the

284

first night I slept on them I had like the most

285

euphoric sleep I slept good I never got like too hot

286

or too cold investing in a good mattress and good sheets

287

and a good comforter I really think is very important to your quality of life and your day to day, they're not cheap.

288

They're quite an investment.

289

I know Brooklyn and does like Black Friday sales.

290

I think they do like semi semi biannual sales.

291

I'm not sure, but I'm here to say that

292

if you are looking to splurge a little and make a good investment on bedding, Brooklyn and washed linen, European sheets will change your fucking life.

293

On that now, Kelsey, what do you think my second one is in regards to bedding?

294

What do we love?

295

The Lola blanket.

296

Now, is it 100% microplastic?

297

I don't know.

298

Probably.

299

That's what everybody's yelling at me about when I post about it.

300

It's microplastic.

301

Okay.

302

God forbid I have a vice.

303

like those fucking Lola blankets.

304

I thought they were a conspiracy because I was always seeing influencers do ads for these fucking Lola blankets.

305

And I'm like, give me a fucking break with the Lola blanket.

306

I don't want if I have to.

307

I didn't buy one out of spite because I was like, fuck these Lola blankets.

308

I don't what.

309

Oh, yeah.

310

Do you guys remember if you guys saw the Lola blanket fashion show?

311

That was that was a trip.

312

I was like, there's just there's no way like there's no fucking way.

313

And I and to be honest with you, I would have never purchased one

314

because it was any anytime something is really overhyped i'm

315

that hater that's like oh come on there's no way it's

316

that good okay well we go to turks and kegos with tart

317

and they left a lola blanket on the bed and i put

318

that thing around me

319

and i looked at kelsey i said i'm never taking this off i said

320

if everything in my suitcase gets stolen fine i don't want this cannot go anywhere i now have have brought

321

that one back would bring it from the bed to the couch wrap myself in it it It is, you have to just fucking get it.

322

I can't even explain how amazing it is.

323

It's the best fucking bedding product ever.

324

It started smelling like dogs because the dog started taking it.

325

So Shane, I didn't know they make dog blankets.

326

So Shane bought the dog blanket versions.

327

Then I was gifted another one.

328

I can't have, I literally will accept as many as I am given because I love them so much.

329

I was gifted another one by my hairstylist.

330

And then my birthday is, by the time this is out, my birthday will have passed.

331

So if you didn't wish me a happy birthday, fuck you.

332

My birthday is next week.

333

And my Fruit Riot family sent me another Lola blanket in addition to the Lola blanket dog beds, which I didn't know they have.

334

They're incredible.

335

I think they make a really great gift.

336

They're very cozy.

337

I truly love them so much.

338

I just love to be warm and cozy.

339

I love fuzzy socks.

340

I love fuzzy pajamas.

341

I am like in the dead of summer.

342

I'm like wrapped up in a blanket So that has been my comfort.

343

The third one, which we're actually doing after this podcast, IV drips.

344

Again, an investment.

345

I understand that they are not cheap.

346

They've changed my life.

347

What do I get?

348

I get glutathione.

349

I get two bags of hydration.

350

I get zinc.

351

I get vitamin C and I get NAD.

352

NAD, a lot of questions about it.

353

Do research on it.

354

Make sure it's the right fit for you.

355

The way that I describe NAD or how it's affected me is recovery.

356

It's considered like the fountain of youth.

357

I recover from everything so much faster.

358

So if I am injured, I bounce back quicker.

359

If I'm sore, if I have an acne breakout, if I feel like I'm getting sick, I do them.

360

I would say it depends on how much I'm traveling, but around two to three, between two and four times a month or if I'm really traveling,

361

but I try to do it right before a trip and right when I get back.

362

I don't drink a lot of water.

363

Now, an IV drip is not in lieu of drinking water.

364

However, it's better than nothing.

365

And I have found that it has helped me a lot.

366

I get really bad cramps.

367

My periods have been exponentially better since doing it because I'm fucking hydrated or more hydrated than I used to be.

368

I just feel so good.

369

I feel so sharp.

370

I can't live without them now.

371

I just feel so much.

372

I don't think that I would be able to operate at the level

373

that I'm operating at with the kind of lifestyle

374

that I have without them because the give

375

and take of my schedule is I can't be as disciplined as I would like to with the foods

376

that I'm eating all the time and how much water I'm drinking

377

because I travel a lot and I'm in a hotel room and I'm on a plane.

378

I'm on set.

379

I'm working like it's just very hard to have consistency.

380

And I keep that as the thing that I go to.

381

And it's changed my life.

382

It really has.

383

I took Shane for the first time not too long ago.

384

Once he's a super like he's skeptical about everything.

385

He loved it.

386

My mom, same thing.

387

My mom, I told you guys a couple episodes ago, I took her out to get one and she was kind of like Hemming and Han, she was a little nervous about it.

388

And she called me and she's like, Oh my God, my skin looks so good.

389

I like feel so good.

390

I can't wait to get another one.

391

So it is something that you almost immediately see results.

392

And I think that's what makes it enticing to get them more

393

because it's not like one of these things where you have

394

to do 30 times to like maybe see any sort of difference.

395

On that note, Kind Patches, they are stickers, essentially.

396

They're sticker supplements.

397

They're amazing.

398

They, you put them on your different like pressure points.

399

So you can put them on the inside of your wrist.

400

You can put them on your chest, on your arm.

401

There's a bunch of different places you can put them.

402

So if you don't want people to see them or you know, you're going out and they don't look really cute because they kind of do look like nicotine patches.

403

Um, but they have them, they have one with NAD.

404

They have, oh my God, they have ones for period.

405

They have ones for sleep, recovery, hangover.

406

I know that there, I don't use any of these, but they're very known for their, what is it called?

407

The snacking thing, berberine.

408

That's their known thing for like to avoid snacking.

409

I don't touch any of the, anything that has to do with like metabolic or, or, you know, any of that stuff.

410

They're amazing.

411

I travel with them.

412

Actually, I cut them all up and I put them in a supplement case

413

and I just add them in addition to what I'm doing.

414

Again, they're not in lieu of supplements or vitamins.

415

The NAD one, actually the, the nurse who does my NAD injections, I had asked her, I'm like, these kind patches, what are your thoughts?

416

And she said, well, your skin, you know, is your, the biggest organ, right?

417

Like it absorbs things.

418

So it's, it's not going to be as strong as like sitting down and getting 200 milligrams of, or yeah, milligrams of milliliters.

419

I don't know, of NAD.

420

It's about 50, but it's something, it does something.

421

So it's like, I use them for when I'm traveling and I can't really get them done when I'm somewhere.

422

I just add them and I, I love them so much.

423

They're very low lift.

424

It's a great way to feel like you're kind of in control, especially if your schedule is a little chaotic and crazy and they work.

425

There's energy ones.

426

I kid you not, like you feel great.

427

So I love those.

428

The next one is microneedling.

429

I feel like a lot of these are on the pricier end.

430

Keep in mind, these are all things that I've been doing for a while.

431

Like these are things that I've been doing and like have to really love before I recommend them.

432

microneedling.

433

Number one, you got to go to the right place.

434

Like I know people that have gotten microneedling done.

435

They're like, yeah, I've gotten it, but I didn't love it.

436

You probably didn't go to the right place

437

or you probably didn't go to a really good place because that's part of it too, right?

438

Like anybody can say we do massages.

439

How many times have you left a massage and been like, that was a fucking terrible massage.

440

Go to someone very reputable.

441

Don't fuck around with that shit.

442

Microneedling has changed my skin completely.

443

I've now done three or I think three or four.

444

It just tightens my skin.

445

I actually do it.

446

And I know not everybody does this, but where I go, I do it under my eye and I do it on my eyelid.

447

I have a lot of loose skin around my eye and that's helped to kind of tighten that area a lot.

448

It's just made my skin look so glowy and it's helped with scarring and breakouts.

449

It's like my holy grail.

450

I love microneedling.

451

So I know microneedling is one of those things

452

that kind of seems a little invasive and scary and people are a little nervous to do it.

453

Again, another thing that I referred my mom to do

454

and she had an amazing experience and she obviously has a bit more mature skin.

455

So me speaking from my almost 33 year old skin and hers and it's incredible.

456

It really is the best.

457

Spironolactone.

458

I've been on spironolactone now since March, almost.

459

Wow, damn, March or May?

460

I think March.

461

Been on it for almost a year.

462

Wow.

463

I mean, it's definitely a temporary thing.

464

I still break out.

465

I get breakouts almost all the time still, but they just kind of go away a lot faster.

466

I don't get the big cystic ones that I used to get.

467

I still break out during my period.

468

The thing is, is somebody like me, I have hormonal breakouts.

469

there isn't really unless you you know do accutane or birth control

470

which i'm not going to get on would never get on again

471

but it's helped kind of keep it consistent for me

472

so like i i will have breakouts

473

but for the most part i kind of like know how

474

bad it could be whereas before it was like a fucking

475

dice roll i'd be like one day i would wake up with porcelain skin

476

and the next day I'd wake up and I was covered in cystic acne.

477

So at least has kept it a little bit leveled out for me.

478

So I know how bad it can be.

479

It does fuck up your cycle and stuff a little bit, though.

480

It takes there is quite a bit of a learning curve.

481

Phillips Hue light bulb light bulbs and all of their actual lighting fixtures.

482

I'm so horny for good lighting.

483

Like I try to explain this to Shane

484

because he loves to have all of our 12 LED overhead lights on in the fucking living room.

485

And it drives me insane.

486

Lighting is so important for your quality of life.

487

Honestly, if you're living in a place and you have all these fluorescent, bright, like yellowy lights.

488

No, it feels like you're in a fucking hospital.

489

We've actually switched out.

490

Philips Hue sells the actual light bulbs

491

so you can switch out your light bulbs in some of your fixtures and control it from your phone.

492

You can dim them, change the colors.

493

I try to get as many of them as I can.

494

I like, oh, it's my favorite thing at night, changing all the lights to a certain color to set the mood of like, I want to relax or I want it to be like,

495

you know, there's certain scenes like the Northern Lights is one of the scenes that plays or like during Christmas, there's like a Christmas one, whatever it is.

496

It's just good lighting is really important.

497

And a lot of times, especially if you are a renter

498

which we are they're putting the shitty ass fucking light fixtures everywhere

499

and it it's just it's so daunting

500

and you want your fit your your space to feel inviting

501

and peaceful and warm and and that has helped me a lot pura

502

which actually started out as a brand deal for winston and willa

503

and now it's one of my favorite all-time favorite products um

504

they are essential oil diffusers you control them from an app on your phone I now have one,

505

two, three, four, five, six in my house and one in my car.

506

Oh, sorry, seven, because I have one in my garage.

507

They're my favorite things ever.

508

There are specific ones that are kid and dog, kid and pet friendly.

509

But you can set timers, you can set a schedule on your phone, each room, different scent intensity,

510

how long you want it to go for, whatever it is.

511

It's just it's amazing and then during the holidays i have like holiday scents

512

that i use it's my favorite thing to do in the

513

morning i wake up i set all my lighting i turn on my jazz i like change all my puras

514

and it's just i don't know it really adds to my space

515

and i try not to light candles really anymore but

516

that still gives me the energy of you know it smelling like a spa

517

or whatever i want it's not fucking dog piss you know okay i have yeah i have three more um

518

sage wellness one of my favorite wellness brands i use a

519

lot of their products i love their products i think of them as a brand

520

that just kind of elevates everyday experiences they have shower steamers

521

which i love you just pop them in your shower i have like eucalyptus for during the day

522

when i want to wake up i have like a lavender one

523

that i use at i don't shower during the day like i rarely use the eucalyptus one

524

but the i have a lavender one that i use at night that helps me like relax.

525

That's like a great way to elevate something little like your shower.

526

I really am a big advocate for romanticizing the little things in your life.

527

And a shower for a lot of people, especially like if you're a mom, is one of the very few times,

528

maybe only time of the day that you have to yourself.

529

And I think a lot of people enjoy their alone time in the shower.

530

It's where we think about things, we listen to music, we meditate, whatever it is.

531

And anything that can elevate that experience for me.

532

I love.

533

So they're shower steamers.

534

They also have these, they're basically like pre-packaged loofahs.

535

They come in this kind of knitted bag that gives you this like exfoliating kind of effect with the soap already inside.

536

So it's already basically a loofah with the soap.

537

Love those.

538

I have those in like all of their scents.

539

They're my favorite.

540

Laundry sauce, laundry detergent and dryer sheets and some other fucking things that you use in the laundry.

541

They sent those to me a while ago.

542

I was very adamant about, I was sorry, not adamant, opposite.

543

I was very, I can't think of words today.

544

I also can't feel like the right side of my tongue.

545

I might be having a stroke today.

546

I'm trying not to think about it because I'm stressed about it.

547

It's fine.

548

They, I was a little bit nervous to try them because I have really sensitive skin, like the wind blows and I get a rash.

549

So I use, usually the laundry detergent that I use is all clean, natural, not scented.

550

But I wanted to try it was like hypoallergenic

551

and some other nice words on the packaging that made me feel like I was safe to try it.

552

I think it's Himalayan cashmere is the one that I use.

553

And there are these little pods that you just throw in your washing machine.

554

Oh, my God, they smell so good.

555

It makes laundry fun.

556

I actually look forward to doing laundry.

557

I haven't had any issues with sensitivity or any of that it's just elevated my laundry experience.

558

So Himalayan cashmere is my the scent that I use.

559

I have the dryer sheets, which I don't typically use very often.

560

And then they have like a scent enhancer for the washing machine and then the pots.

561

Oh my God, I fucking love those.

562

Like I actually get excited about doing laundry, which I can't do right now because all of our shit is unplugged because our floor is our downstairs is flooded.

563

That's fun.

564

And then lastly, eye patches.

565

I used to think eye patches, under eye patches were a gaffe.

566

And then I started hitting a point in my life where I don't get to sleep very often.

567

And I actually get bags.

568

I used to never get bags under my eyes.

569

I thought I was like above it.

570

And now I get them.

571

And I get them very often because I don't sleep all the time as well as I would like to.

572

But what I do is I, listen, there's a lot of really good eye patches.

573

I have a bajillion.

574

I think my favorite is like a gel eye patch because it's a little bit more cooling.

575

I have some aloe ones right now.

576

I stick them in my fridge.

577

And in the morning I wake up

578

and I put them on under my eye while I have my coffee and do whatever.

579

And then the cooling part helps with any puffing.

580

And then they really do help at least lubricate under the eye

581

so that you can set your makeup or whatever you're doing.

582

And then on that note, sheet masks.

583

You guys, if you follow me on social, you know I'm a Korean skincare sheet masks.

584

They just they do it right.

585

I believe my favorite three brands are all K Skincare, which is Dr. Jart, specifically the cryo rubber one, the blue one.

586

It's cooling.

587

It lowers your skin's temperature by 10 degrees.

588

Love that one.

589

That's the one I always use when I'm traveling on planes.

590

Second brand being Metacube.

591

I think it's the pink PDRN one that I use.

592

And then the third one is Biodance, but specifically the purple sheet mask.

593

It was a collaboration with Yuri.

594

I fucking love them if you travel

595

if you get puffy you just don't have time to do fucking skin care whether it be in the morning

596

or at night or before you have to go somewhere

597

and you want your makeup to look bomb a sheet mask really is great

598

and you can also put those in the fridge

599

or the freezer to get them to cool

600

and that's kind of my my like roundup right now I'm

601

gonna go figure out why the side of my tongue is numb

602

and I'm gonna go get an IV

603

and yeah I love you guys I'll see you next week because that's what we've been doing See you on Thursday.

604

Bye, I love you.

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.
