Happy Wednesday. Hump day. That just felt natural today.

It just. Sometimes it rolls off the tongue and sometimes we're silly.

[Danielle]

Very much so. Giving hump day energy. Just in the sense that, like it's gloomy outside. Like, I feel a little off.

[Brooke]

Do you feel a little off? I feel a little off.

[Danielle]

You do?

[Brooke]

I do. I woke up this morning, I felt bad. I went to a workout class with my friend and she was like trying to chat and I just, I had nothing to.

[Danielle]

Yeah. And some days are those days, you know?

[Brooke]

Yeah. You know, like, how are you? I was just like, I'm tired.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Nothing left. Nothing to give. Like a few minor inconveniences and you're just like, yeah, it's that vibe today.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

It's just that vibe. Like I'm upset that I'm wearing a jacket in the month of May. You know what I mean? Like, it's just.

[Danielle]

Yeah, just like a few things. Like.

[Brooke]

But that's okay.

[Danielle]

First world problems.

[Brooke]

No, it's. It's really nice. Like, obviously not to be dark, but since I've been going there so much, I'm like, I'm actually happy that today's problem is the weather for me.

[Danielle]

You know what I mean? That it's just like a Pete. Like otherwise.

[Brooke]

Otherwise good status quo.

[Danielle]

I know. I would imagine that like, you appreciate just like normalcy now.

[Brooke]

I really do. Like, I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I was like, but I'm so happy that that's my problem today. Yeah. You know, really, like, that's so true. Mindset shift.

[Danielle]

Wow.

[Brooke]

So.

[Danielle]

Well, I have to tell you something. I. Oh my God. This. Guess where I have to go after this.

[Brooke]

Oh my God. I have no idea. Can you give me a hint or is it. I'll never guess it.

[Danielle]

I don't think you're really gonna guess it.

[Brooke]

What?

[Danielle]

To get an X ray of my

[Juan Naula]

foot

[Danielle]

because I might have overdone it at the marathon. No, I know, I know. I might have a stress fracture in my foot from the marathon.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

So people warned me of this. That was the big thing in my DMs when I was like, you know, the training at the end has been lackluster. I did get a bunch of people, be careful. Stress fractures. And you know me, I'm like, of course I'm going to be completely fine. And I finished the race. I felt so good. Yeah. Yesterday I started noticing load bearing problems. Like when I would just stand. No standing up. Or like I was about. Luckily I didn't run on it. I was about to.

[Brooke]

You were gonna go for a run

[Danielle]

yesterday on the treadmill. I was like, I can like probably go for like jog on the treadmill. Like, I'm ready again.

[Brooke]

Wow. I'd give myself a week. I'd be like, sorry, tapped out for a week after.

[Danielle]

I just had a day. Like yesterday I had like an open day. So I was like, okay, this is my, you know, I'm trying to fit it in when. When I could. And I just have noticed it's been getting worse and worse. And like I've self diagnosed myself at this point, but I'm going to go and get imaging and see if it's true. I'm hoping that it's just the muscle problem, like the.

[Brooke]

Not what foot is it?

[Danielle]

My right foot.

[Brooke]

And are you like limping it hurts, like.

[Danielle]

Yeah, like, walking on it hurts, like. Yeah, I know. And Ben was like, you might have to wear a boot. And I was like, oh, no, I don't want to do the boot. But honestly, a boot's better than crotches, so I don't know. I was like, oh, this is. And you don't want it to get worse because basically you can heal something like this, they say in, like, four to six weeks. I'm like, self diagnosing. I don't know if this is true. I'm like. I'm just jumping at conclusions. Like, look, it's only four.

[Brooke]

Brook, the radiologist.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Yeah, literally. Can I send my scans to that?

[Brooke]

We used to do that all the time.

[Danielle]

Oh, my. Well, he might be able to tell me.

[Brooke]

Apparently.

[Danielle]

It's so tiny.

[Brooke]

Like. Yeah, it's like.

[Danielle]

It's not like a fully, like, broken foot, but.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

They say that if you overdo it, like, overstrain yourself, that this, like, can happen. I guess that's why you can't just go. Even if you're a fit person. Like, you can't just, like, run a marathon because.

[Brooke]

Are there things you can do or wear while you're running?

[Danielle]

No, no, I can't run. Oh, while you're running? To prevent.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Like, could you have more training?

[Danielle]

It's like, honestly, strength training, too. Like, it's like, getting stronger because it's like, a lot of running is, like, coming from, like, your calves, too.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Danielle]

If that makes sense. Like, kind of like where you carry your weight. I also reviewed my photos from the marathon, and I ran with knock knees the whole time. So I. My form is all my knees were like. Like, I was running like this. No, if you watch on YouTube, you just saw that. I'm not joking. I was like, no, you gotta watch

[Brooke]

on YouTube to see what she does.

[Danielle]

No wonder my legs are bothering me. Am I like, calves, like, fly out knees?

[Brooke]

Is that a thing?

[Danielle]

Like, yeah, like, that's, like, not the right way. Like, it's completely incorrect. Yeah, I know. So now I'm just worried about it. I did, like, my first. I haven't. I did, like, a virtual urgent care call.

[Brooke]

Virtual urgent care call? What is that?

[Danielle]

Because I need a referral to get the X ray. I can't show up at the X ray place. That's how my insurance works. So I was like, okay, I'll just do the virtual one because it's, like, easy. And then he just gives me the referral right away. Like, it was, like, with a stranger. But he's Like, I told him I was like, just ran my first marathon. Like, you know, I did all this stuff. And he's like, can I see your foot? So I.

[Brooke]

No.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I did the call on my phone, luckily, but I was like, you can't really see anything. Like, it looks normal.

[Brooke]

He was probably looking to see if anything was, like, swollen or something.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I was like, it's not swollen. Like, that's why I don't really know. Anyways, there's a million things that it could be. I've never done physical therapy. Have you ever done physical therapy?

[Brooke]

No.

[Danielle]

Like, that's like, real athletes.

[Brooke]

Is that what you would have to do?

[Danielle]

I think if you really want to, like. And I'm not trying to, like, prep for another marathon tomorrow. I just like the. The idea of, like, normalcy and good day. Like, if you tell me I can't work out for four to six weeks, that actually will affect me at this

[Brooke]

point in my life. That will definitely affect you. I'm also thinking about all these weddings you have to go to and the

[Danielle]

heels and a boot. No, I literally have to wear a heel this weekend. I don't know what I'm gonna do. So stay tuned on that.

[Brooke]

You just wear flats.

[Danielle]

You, the dress. You're talking long enough. Yeah, that is hidden.

[Brooke]

Or like a little baby, baby, baby.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely not supposed to. So anyways, that's where I'm at. You know, Things were going a little too smoothly post marathon for me. I was like, everything's great.

[Brooke]

Everything was lining up too much.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it really was. And I'm like, you know, I guess I'll just get this taken care of today when I have the time.

[Brooke]

But also knowing you, like, you err on the side of caution.

[Danielle]

I do. You're right.

[Brooke]

So maybe it's nothing.

[Danielle]

No, you're so right.

[Brooke]

And maybe it's like, it just needs to heal. I mean, I've had times where my foot hurts for, like, random reasons.

[Danielle]

Like a specific point in the foot.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Usually it's at the top of the foot. Is that. Is that the top of your foot?

[Danielle]

Not really. It's kind of like the side, like the outer edge underneath.

[Brooke]

On the right side or the left side?

[Danielle]

The right. So like the outer side.

[Brooke]

It could be your arches just hurting.

[Danielle]

But, you know, I hope it is.

[Brooke]

I do. I really hope you don't have to wear a boot. No, that's, like, embarrassing, like, bit, though, like.

[Danielle]

No, like, to me, it's like, it's not embarrassing, but, like, to me, I'm like, you know, showing up to a wedding with a boot. Like, Like, I. I feel like I'm like seeking attention.

[Brooke]

It's a dog.

[Danielle]

That's what I'm saying. Like, it's like, oh, oh. And what'd you do? It's like ran a half marathon, like.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah. Stress fracture. Oh my God. Wow. So you have to like go and do the whole thing.

[Danielle]

Apparently it's quick. I don't know, I've never really like.

[Brooke]

No, of course I break my wrist.

[Danielle]

I think I got an X ray for that. Yeah, I must have.

[Brooke]

You just put your right foot in. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I know. I'm. I'm tracking it up to me being in my luteal phase.

[Brooke]

That's what they say about your luteal phase. You like feel ugly, you're bloated, like you just gross.

[Danielle]

Is that right before your period or after? Right before you got it.

[Brooke]

Oh, I don't know. Oh, I am right about to get my period, so I guess so. Oh, in like a week.

[Danielle]

Tracking the phases and stuff. Yeah. Cuz you're still off birth so you're like pretty regular then? Like with the. Or now?

Obviously I've been home a lot with my dad and I feel like my dad and I have just gotten like a lot closer and we'll just like talk about really anything now. And I don't know why it came up. I couldn't tell you, but we're talking about birth control and my dad, we're just sitting there talking with other people. My dad straight up goes, wait, yeah, are you still not on birth control? And I was like, yeah, no, he's like, so what are you doing instead? And I literally wanted to crawl in my skin.

[Danielle]

Were you around other people?

[Brooke]

[Danielle]

I literally wanted to die. Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

I didn't answer. I was dad, like. And my mom goes, you know, the.

[Danielle]

Get off.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Danielle]

Oh, my gosh. That's really funny. But it is what everybody's wondering. No, like, he. See, that's like my intrusive thought. Like, but I wouldn't ask it in the group setting. It's funny that your dad knows your dad. I know.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Cuz I think he's just like, it. Whatever. I'll say whatever I want.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Danielle]

It's handled.

[Brooke]

Oh, a little update. I mean, it's been a while now, but we've just had so much to talk about on the podcast. You already. I mean, I posted about it, but the Aritzia personal styling appointment was truly everything. It's chalked up to be obsessed. So fun. I went to the same stylist that Brooke did because we both went to the Aritzia and soho. But, like, I just. I. And I knew I was gonna love it, but it was amazing.

[Danielle]

It's. I've never experienced something quite like that before.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Like getting there. And they have clothes picked out for you. My whole outfit is Aritzia. Like, the top. And. And she was like. And I'm sure you too. She was like, you know, you can wear this jacket, and it pairs with this. And this. This top goes with these pants. Like, everything in Aritzia really is meant to be like this capsule collection. And it just opened my eyes to, like, my own closet too. Like, oh, that actually does go with that.

[Danielle]

Yes. I. They have a different, like, look on things. I feel like. Yeah. Because I would never like some of the pants that are ritzy. I'm like, I don't know how to style this totally. And then they just come up with the best combos. And you're like, it makes so much sense.

[Brooke]

It really makes so much sense. So I just. I feel like we've talked about it so much. I was so curious about Brooke's experience, so I had to come on here and tell you guys, you need to book an Aritzia personal shopping appointment. It's free. And then you just option to buy anything. I don't even think there's a minimum of like what you have to buy.

[Danielle]

There's. I mean, you're gonna wanting to like. Yeah, you know, I was like, oh, we'll see what I really need.

[Brooke]

And then sure.

[Brooke]

Who would have thought? And so it was great. So I'm really, really happy I did it. It was really funny. I don't. Did they do this for you? They like walked me out of the store. I had so many bags. Oh, no, I did like, we'll escort you out.

[Danielle]

It was pretty good. And there are these cups like I'm. We're not being sponsored to say this right now. I just think it's so fun.

[Danielle]

It just is a great place.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's a great place. Like I. I have so many outfits for Japan now. I feel like I'm tempted to go back again for Japan. But no, I'll just use what I have.

[Danielle]

You can mix and match with, you know, pieces. You're only going for a week, so you. Yeah, like, that's not.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's been fun like seeing like that brand trip that happened a couple weeks ago. The girls in Korea, like seeing what they were wearing, stuff like that, you know.

[Danielle]

Yes. To get the style and everything. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, my mom is now like obsessed with Clara. Clara purse.

[Danielle]

Oh, is that a new.

[Brooke]

Well, do you remember when my mom was meeting Clara in Cape Cod? Claire was like, I'm nervous because your mom like loves Brooke and Katie. She's like always dming them. I was like, I promise, like once my mom Meets you, she's in. You're in. Like, she's in your DMs. She responds to everything. They can attest. And it took a little minute, but now, yes, my mom is replying to all of her things. My mom sent me a text yesterday wearing a face mask inspired by Clara. I'm like, I wear face masks? Yeah.

[Danielle]

You're like, Claire invented face masks.

[Brooke]

Okay, Clara. But she's like, I'm just. I loved Clara's Korea content. Like, I'm just obsessed. Wow. She has a new obsession now, which is Clara.

[Danielle]

Oh, that's so great.

[Brooke]

I mean, I get it. We're all obsessed with Clara.

[Danielle]

No, of course, of course. I mean, her content right now is killing it. She, like, goes on a brand trip and she, like, goes home, like, doesn't sleep and like, will edit all of her videos right away.

[Brooke]

It's amazing.

[Danielle]

It's a me. I'm like, I take all the footage and then I, like, go home. I'm like, oops, forgot to edit. Oops.

[Brooke]

That would have. That would have been good to post.

[Danielle]

There's like so much lost footage that I have. I. I really need to get better about that. Lost the uncovered footage, the files. Yes.

[Brooke]

Brooke Michio on film 2009.

[Danielle]

Yeah, there's so much on there. If you go through my phone library, you're like, I feel like there's probably like so many versions of like TikToks and things that I could have made that would have like, maybe done well, but I just. I miss it in the moment.

[Brooke]

You know what? Like, do you have a ton of Japan content still that you want to post, like, short form stuff or like. No, like, not.

[Danielle]

I didn't film any sounds. I didn't save any sounds.

[Brooke]

Honestly, I haven't. Yeah. What sounds would you do?

[Danielle]

I mean, I could have, like. I don't film Tik Toks with Ben. I just don't, like, it's just not.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, it's not.

[Danielle]

It's not, you know.

[Brooke]

No, I guess I meant more so like trying this fried sandwich or.

[Danielle]

But there's like, you know, the just travel ones where you do like the. You show either your outfits or you say like, oh, like, let's go. Like, where should we go? I don't know. Let's get matcha.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Danielle]

Like where?

[Brooke]

Where?

[Danielle]

I guess Japan. Like.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually. Yeah, that one is really big, I suppose.

[Danielle]

Oh, that's. There's some. That would have made sense. Clara would have had them all saved, ready to go. Like, yeah, my brain doesn't think that way. I. I did put together a good vlog, I'll tell you that. Everybody really likes to watch it. Like it.

[Brooke]

So it's a movie, I heard. Yeah, no, it's a real movie. It.

[Danielle]

And I'm happy about the response on that, so I'll take it.

[Brooke]

No, I want to sit on my couch and watch it like with popcorn and like take notes.

[Danielle]

That just made me like really want popcorn.

[Brooke]

I know. Yeah.

[Danielle]

And like a good movie. Devil Wears Pride, we need to see.

[Brooke]

Yeah, need to see Devil Wears Prada. And there's another movie I'd like to see. I'll have to get back to you on that. There's another one that people are talking about. Am I wrong? Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps a salad, perhaps. Perhaps. Yeah, perhaps not.

I mean, we all know I love to throw in some Drake, take my time doing my hair and makeup and enjoy that, oh my gosh, that perfect pregame drink. Yes.

[Danielle]

I feel like the perfect pregame truly sets the tone for the night. And what better way to set the tone than with Malibu Pink. It's truly the best summer Get Ready with Me drink. It's vibrant, it's bold. It's got fun new fruity flavors of guava, pineapple and coconut.

[Brooke]

No, I already know Malibu Pink will be coming with us on all of our girls trips this summer. It's perfect for the girls like us me who like to take shots. But if you're not one for shots, it also pairs perfectly with a lemonade for a cute and easy cocktail moment. I feel like I would do the shot you would do like the cocktail.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to be sipping it as a mixed drink. But while I get ready also, it's like this gorgeous, vibrant pink color. We talk about it. You guys know that's my favorite color. Scream summer.

Like, I'm just in one of those phases where I just want to throw everything away and start over, which I'm not actually going to do. But yeah, I feel like I want to do that. So.

[Brooke]

No, I completely.

[Danielle]

That leads us to our topic today.

[Brooke]

That leads us to our topic today, you guys. We're going to be talking about things that are just. We're obsessed with right now. One could say favorites. One could say these are just like a coma. I mean, I have, like, some really random things. I know you said you do too. And we never tell each other before because it's fun because I end up, like, buying half the things that Brooke tells me about.

[Danielle]

Hey.

[Brooke]

Hey. So we're. We're here to influence you guys. Things that have been changing our life recently. I would say.

[Danielle]

Amazing. Let's hop into it. Mine are also really random and I have a lot of things from Japan, cuz.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait, that's fun. See, I like that.

[Danielle]

Yeah, cool stuff that I got there.

[Brooke]

She just went to Japan.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I did. I'll start off with these. They're from Japan. These steam heat slash eye masks. I will send a picture because the packaging is in Japanese, but they're called MEG Rhythm, if that helps. So they're like cotton eye masks. I mean, they're not any. Like, they're disposable.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Danielle]

But somehow when you open them up, they get warm and not hot, but lightly warm.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Danielle]

Yes. They're amazing. I think I've just had a lot of problems recently. I think I had, like a light sinus infection maybe last week because I had a lot of, like, pain in that area. Like, you know, in your sinus or it could be allergies.

[Brooke]

Total. I had that a couple weeks ago

[Danielle]

where you just feel and then it like, translated to a headache. Like, I don't really know what was going on. All I know is that, like, I woke up in the middle of the night with, like, pain and then I like ripped one of these open and I put it on and Like I just. If you immediately relieve my pain. I like falling asleep with them on. They're very popular.

[Brooke]

Sleeping mask. Like that's the shape of them.

[Danielle]

Yes. So it is a. Like a disposable sleeping mask essentially that gets slightly warm. It says 40 degrees Celsius. What is that in. Oh, I'm not good. I'm gonna run out of them soon though, so I really need to figure out where I can purchase. Oh, hey, forgot about.

[Brooke]

Where'd you get them? At that beauty store that the woman.

[Danielle]

No, no, they sell them. They sell them, honestly, at like 7:11. Yeah, those places. The convenience stores or donkey. Oh, so yeah, the wire place where she tried to sell me the.

[Brooke]

The donkey.

[Danielle]

Yes, the donkey. Yeah, try it out.

[Brooke]

Wait, I really. That sounds really lovely. Honestly, my first one is also so random. But you'll appreciate it. It's the tranquilla decaf latte in a can.

[Danielle]

Oh, yes. Okay, let's hear about these because I haven't tried them.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, you. I guess you don't drink decaf. Yeah, but you have like a connection to the company or whatever. But guys, it's so cool. It's literally a latte in a can. Just like, you know, they sell a lot of these, but it's decaf. Like I've never seen that before. And it's really delicious. You can drink it out of the can, which I've done. Or I'll put it over ice and put a little hazelnut syrup in it. And it's like I just have a latte. It's so quick. Like, I just love that. Decaf's getting some love. I guess that's why I'm like really excited. I think they now sell it. If you're in New York at Pop Grocer, it's in like West Village area. Like that's just so exciting. What?

[Danielle]

Pops.

[Brooke]

Pops. Pops. Pops said to go to Pop Grocer. And I just think it's the coolest thing and I've been really enjoying it. Like when I go home from the podcast today, I'm gonna pour it over ice. Actually the other day, cuz I've been drinking a lot of like half caffeinated things. I did a normal shot of espresso, threw it over my detector. Wow. Yeah, I'm pretty crazy.

[Danielle]

Yeah, you're getting pretty crazy with it. Will you finish it? Like because you finish your coffees.

[Brooke]

Yeah, of course.

[Danielle]

That's impressive.

[Brooke]

Yeah, for sure. So highly suggest like regular milk. Yeah, regular milk. It's a regular milk.

[Danielle]

Decaf latte.

[Brooke]

Decaf latte in a can. So sometimes I'm like, whoa, this is weird. Drinking it out of a can. So.

[Danielle]

But like la cologne does it in cans.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's literally like a lot cologne latte, decaf, but decaf. And that just like isn't found a lot. And it's like premium coffee, they say. So I assume it's like really nice whole good beans.

[Danielle]

Yeah. You're like, literally. I heard about this before. Like they got sent to you and I literally said to. To Ben out loud. I was like, this is made for Danielle. Like when they're like putting together, like they're the target demographic, like, you are the profile.

[Brooke]

Like, it's like addicted to decaf coffee. Yes. No, it's perfect. And I just hope that. I hope that tranquilla blows up and then it's sold everywhere, because then I'll have decaf wherever I go. Like, I'm worried about Japan. Like, I don't like.

[Danielle]

But you would you do like a T? I mean, they're big.

[Brooke]

Oh, of course. Yes, I would do a T. But if I'm like, I really want to decap latte, like, I don't know what that. I'm gonna have to look it up probably can.

[Danielle]

I didn't inquire about it, honestly.

[Brooke]

Of course. Why would you imagine. I'm like, hey, could you. Could you ask around?

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

But yeah, that's my first favorite love that. Wait, is your phone case Japan?

[Danielle]

Yes, I got casetify.

[Brooke]

Oh my.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Isn't that so cute?

[Brooke]

That is so cute. The vending machine, the cherry blossom, the deer.

[Danielle]

The Nara deer. Yes. And then the mountain, Mount Fuji.

[Brooke]

Was this customized for you?

[Danielle]

I. We. There was a Japan exclusive section in the case device store in Japan.

[Brooke]

You went to the case device store in Japan?

[Danielle]

Yes, I got it in Japan.

[Brooke]

Oh, you bought. I thought they like sent it to you.

[Danielle]

No, no, I fully bought this, like, and they didn't even give me the discount. They're like, oh, if it's your first purchase, you qualify for 10% off. They like put in my email. They're like, no, you don't.

[Brooke]

Cuz you've bought.

[Danielle]

Yeah, yeah, but I just needed a new phone case. When I was there, I just. I didn't. I had a whole thing. I was like, I need a new phone case. Like now. Like, I don't know, immediately now.

[Brooke]

Forget the shrines, I need to get a new phone.

[Danielle]

But it was like the last day of the trip that I ended up getting it. The whole trip. I was like looking for the perfect one.

[Brooke]

And then I finally found her reminders of your trip.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it's nice.

[Brooke]

Reminders of her.

[Danielle]

Hey. And it's, like, mirrored, too.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's nice. You can use it to reapply your lipstick, Brooke.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Which I probably need to do.

[Brooke]

Oh, I wasn't telling you.

[Danielle]

No, I. I know, but that is the vibe. Okay. The New York Times games, I've been, like, playing them. I played them before bed. The MIDI crossword puzzle. Okay. So I started doing the mini every day, which it literally takes you, like, under a minute. Like, two minutes. Like, because it's just, like, a few words. And, like, it's fun to see how fast you can do it, but then you're kind of craving a little bit

[Brooke]

more little mini skirt.

[Danielle]

And then, I don't know. I've been into crossword puzzles. They make. But also the New York Times ones are kind of like pop culture adjacent. Like, it's relevant. Like, it's not things that I'm like, you know, some of them are a little challenging, but most, you know, some

[Brooke]

of them can get.

[Danielle]

And the MIDI is the perfect size between, like, the full and the mini. They came out with many.

[Brooke]

Do you ever, like, not know an answer to one of them?

[Danielle]

Oh, of course. Yeah.

[Brooke]

What do you do?

[Danielle]

I mean, I skip it. Then I try to figure out, like, the other way.

[Brooke]

Okay. Oh, like, by filling it in. Yes.

[Danielle]

But then if I really don't know, I'll put, like, the checker on. On the top, and that will tell you, like, what letters are wrong. Oh, that's kind of like a good reset point. If I'm, like, way off. You know what I'm saying?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Some of these are harder than others. Like, some I'm like, wow, this is like, who's this made for? 10 year olds. And then, like, the next day, I'll, like, be so stuck on it.

[Brooke]

And do you always do it the same time of day?

[Danielle]

I do it before bed, usually.

[Brooke]

Before bed?

[Danielle]

Yeah. Because I just wind down on my phone. I don't want to be, like, texting, but I like, I'm like, oh, I could.

[Brooke]

No, Like, I love to hear that. Because if you were gonna say, like, I don't do any. I don't check social media in the morning. I go straight to my game. I'd be like, you're lying.

[Danielle]

No way. I immediately go on social media.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Like, there's, like, no way.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I haven't stuck to the brick. Maybe I should break that.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Danielle]

Well, because, like, needlepoint became My brick. But then I.

[Brooke]

That's true. Because you're. If you guys don't know bricks or they like stop you from going on social media, they're like physical things that Brooke has been using.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Katie really is Katie started. Yeah. That would lock you out in the morning because you have to physically like get up.

[Brooke]

I don't know if this was real, but I saw this tick tock of this girl. In order to turn off her alarm, she has to pick up her phone and it says a random object that you have to go and take a picture of in order to stop it. So like the other day, hers was spoon. So she had to literally get up, go take a picture of a spoon. So then you're up.

[Danielle]

Oh my God. That's like a whole scavenger hunt that I feel like that like raises your cortisol though. Like, not, not that I'm mindful of that, but I feel like you wake up and it's like hurry do a task.

[Brooke]

Like, not that I'm mindful of that.

[Danielle]

I'm not mindful of that literally at all. Like, but that to me is a, like a wake up with a task, you know?

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, I know.

[Danielle]

I understand the concept though.

[Brooke]

Some people though, they need it.

[Danielle]

Like a really heavy sleeper. Yeah. Do you know is Ryan really obviously. Do you know really heavy sleepers?

[Brooke]

No. But I feel like I hear about it like Margot Austri. Oh my God. On the last night of Stagecoach, we like didn't post about anything, but she actually slept over the T mobile house.

[Danielle]

Oh, that's fun.

[Brooke]

She stayed the night with me because like everyone else in her house left early. I felt so bad. So I was like, come on over. They all had their reason.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Don't get me wrong. So her alarm the next morning, thank God I'd already woken up, was. I'm like, oh, so you're one of those.

[Danielle]

And she was sleeping through it.

[Brooke]

No, she. She woke up. But I assume she has it like that because others didn't work for her. I actually didn't ask.

[Danielle]

That's a last resort alarm.

[Brooke]

Yeah. But I'm. I think I need to bring back The Mel Robbins 5 second theory to get out of bed. Not been wanting to get out of bed.

[Danielle]

Oh, and you just lay there like.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah. No. Ryan has this joke with me where now he only sees me in my pajamas because in the morning I'm. I literally stay in bed until like he's about to get up and then he gets back and I, I feel like you do the Same thing. As soon as I get home, I shower, take off my makeup, I'm in my pajamas again.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Or like, loungewear. It's not necessarily, like, a matching PJ stuff. Same. But like, yes, but he deems them.

[Juan Naula]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Pajamas. And he's like, I. You know, I never see you, like, not in pajamas. Like, that is so sad. I swear I was, like, all dressed up today.

[Danielle]

That's so funny. You're like, I'm showing proof. You're like, no, this is everything today. Yes.

[Brooke]

No, literally, I'll be like, look what I filmed today. Look what I did.

[Danielle]

That's really funny. I. I definitely have those days too, when Ben, like, lives a whole day and then, like, comes back and I'm like, definitely. And sometimes I'm in the same pair of, like, clothes.

[Brooke]

Yeah, sometimes. Maybe I didn't leave.

[Danielle]

Yeah, maybe I didn't. And when they catch you, like, do, like. I'm like, you caught me at the. The one second that, like, I was slacking off, like, watching a YouTube video.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

It's like, he's like, oh, so you just wanted YouTube videos all day? No, I know.

[Brooke]

It's like, no. I was just sitting on my. I sat on my bed to respond to one text, and then I went on to Tick tock.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, I know. Oh, my God. I literally love this so much. And I'm making this a favorite because I made sure to check that this is still available because it was a collab. Corporate. Natalie did a collaboration with Reduce. We both got their. It's like a ton of different water bottles, mugs. One of them I am so obsessed with. It's called the Halo because it's just like a tumbler, but it has, like a circle that you can put it on your wrist.

[Danielle]

Oh, I didn't even know that.

[Brooke]

You probably didn't even realize that's what it was, but. Oh, my gosh. Walking to the gym or literally walking around our apartment, I just. I've got a little bracelet on with my water bottle.

[Danielle]

Stop. You walk around your apartment with it?

[Brooke]

Yeah, sometimes. Like, now we have to go to the other room. You know, I. I love it, but it's usually for when I'm walking to a workout and I just. I am so lazy. I don't want to hold anything, so it's. It just hangs on my arm and it's. It's great. And I have the checkered one that's her collab. But then I looked and they have a yellow one, a blue one. Like, they've got. I Might need to get another one. They're so cute.

[Danielle]

How many water bottle cabinets?

[Brooke]

No, that's the thing. You definitely have more water bottles than me. I just, like, feel it.

[Danielle]

I have a hard time parting with them.

[Brooke]

I know.

[Danielle]

Like, what if I want that?

[Brooke]

What if I need that special edition,

[Danielle]

like, under rabbit rabbits, you know, that was rare.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, I. I know. I knew. I knew this about you, but. Yeah, so reduce.

[Danielle]

But I use recycle. My Louise Carmen road book notebook. So this is my notebook that I got, like, top of the year. I was like, I'm becoming a notebook person because I love a list that's, like, how I work. And it just is the perfect size. It just. It's made to be, like, a little worn. It's basically like you. You buy the leather part that's kind of like what the notebook is, and then everything else is, like, inserts for it.

[Brooke]

That's so fun and, like, customizable.

[Danielle]

Yes. And it's so great. The road book is the size that I have. I think I have, like, videos, like, showing size comparisons, because I have, like,

[Brooke]

a bigger one too.

[Danielle]

But I just love it. It fits, like, every time I'm traveling. I just am, like. I know that I have, like, this one thing with me, and it has, like, all of my information.

[Brooke]

Is it like, to do lists or like.

[Danielle]

Yeah, every day I do, like, a to do list. And then if I. And then I have, like, running lists in there, too.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

If I just, like, think of something that I'm like, oh, shoot, like, I should do that like, in two weeks or something.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

I don't really refer back to it, if I'm being honest.

[Brooke]

But, you know, but hey, it's there.

[Danielle]

Yeah. There is a longer list somewhere in there that's so.

[Brooke]

That's really wholesome.

[Danielle]

It is, actually. Yeah. I haven't been, like, journaling in it or anything like that, but, you know, maybe.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Journaling is so, like, personal and, like, scares me that someone could just pick up a book and it's my journal.

[Danielle]

I. I know. I haven't done that in a really, really long. A long time.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I guess you used to. I actually used to, too.

[Danielle]

Only when I was going through it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's. It's always only when you're, like, really down bad.

[Danielle]

I've never journaled and been happy.

[Brooke]

Yeah. No. Like, I love life today or I love life today. I also just. I think you. I hate, like, I. I like writing paper to do list, but I hate writing things. Like, I don't like writing letters. I don't like.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I, I agree.

[Brooke]

I love a handwritten birthday card but if it were up to me, we'd all just type them and print them out. Like I know, I know people handwriting

[Danielle]

at these weddings I'm going to. They love and I love. I think it's so nice to give everybody a handwritten note. It's really like every couple or whoever.

[Brooke]

Like I totally agree. And I'm like, oh my God. They sat there and did that all.

[Danielle]

Yeah. And that was a job. My gosh, that's a job.

[Brooke]

And then they usually send like thank you cards.

[Danielle]

Like it's just a lot. There's a lot of handwriting.

[Brooke]

It's a lot of handwriting. I don't really like to handwrite, but that is very. I do like to handwrite to do lists. And I know you're the same way

[Danielle]

because it's the physical cross off for me.

[Brooke]

That cross flock jaw.

[Danielle]

I did that. Yeah, I did it. I didn't just watch YouTube all day. I did it.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Look Ben, look at all these crosshairs. My next item is the Revlon Versa styler. I couldn't not put it on. It would just with all the travel and stuff. It is just the best. Brooke has one too. It is amazing because it's like, it's kind of like your Dyson vibe. But there are no attachments so you just have. It looks like a round brush. It blows air like from one specific section. So it's really like a blow dryer and then it blows air all around like a blow dryer brush and then option to heat it and it's a heated round brush. Like that's sick. I just, I can't believe we're just now getting this. And I'm very grateful to Revlon for it. It's like now when I pack, I literally put that in in a curling iron.

[Danielle]

Boom. Done. Boom. Done. Perfect.

[Brooke]

I know it's available at Walmart. I wanted to get on Amazon.

[Danielle]

Oh, it's not on Amazon.

[Brooke]

I think it's just on Walmart right now. But Walmart ships really fast. Actually.

[Danielle]

They do. So a little hack for you.

[Brooke]

A little hack, yeah. What's your next one?

[Danielle]

Just Matcha. Matcha lattes in general. But I have the full setup now. Oh, I bet the post.

[Brooke]

Japan.

[Danielle]

Yes. So in Japan we got the whisk and the actual like Matcha itself. This one place at Pudo Tea, I think you can order from them online. That was like a very like, you know, real high quality matcha.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Danielle]

If anyone's looking for, like, a place. But there's so many. There are, you know, good places.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

But when I was there, I noticed, like, I would look at the cop, not the coffee shops, the tea houses, and see how people were, like, making them. They all had a scale because they do it in, like, weight ratios, not in. Like, you do. You don't just do, like, one scoop of matcha.

[Brooke]

Like, you do it, like, in weight.

[Danielle]

So I got, like, a scale. Yeah. No, I. I'm weird. On, like, the next level, I learned how to whisk it properly. Exact water temperature.

[Brooke]

It's a nice process.

[Danielle]

It's basically. People are gonna be like, no, it's different. But, like, to me, it's the equivalent of making an espresso shot. But it's matcha, because then I poured over milk, and it acts the same way as an espresso shot would.

[Brooke]

It's like doing a latte.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Brooke]

You just have one specific thing.

[Danielle]

I mean, it is a matcha latte. That's a matcha.

[Brooke]

It is.

[Danielle]

But, like, the same amount of liquid. Like, I'm like, oh, yeah. That's literally a shot.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah, a shot. And then do you add sweetener?

[Danielle]

Yeah, I've been doing maple syrup.

[Brooke]

A maple matcha latte.

[Danielle]

Yeah, It. It's a good sweetener. It's a, you know, old reliable.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

What do you, like, if you had to use a sweetener? Like, you wouldn't. What would you.

[Brooke]

No, I. I don't drink matcha. Really? So I was just wondering. No, I put hazelnut. I'm like a hazelnut. Can you have hazelnut? Yeah, yeah, I'm addicted. Or vanilla.

[Danielle]

Like a pump of the flavor.

[Brooke]

Yeah, a pump. Yeah. I've never. I've. I've done, like, a maple cinnamon latte. Honey, those are good, too. Yeah. But at home, I just do a good old Pampa Smash kitchen.

[Danielle]

They just can't, you know, Glenn.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Danielle]

Snack brand that, like, apparently, like, you know, they don't use dyes or whatever. Like, I don't really know. Like, I mean. Yeah, they don't.

[Brooke]

Yep. Apparently.

[Danielle]

But the chips taste just as good as normal chips, so whatever. But they just came out with. They're the chips that I had that night.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, I had them.

[Danielle]

Yes. You were like, what are these?

[Brooke]

Yes, yes. Oh, my gosh, Glenn.

[Danielle]

They just came out with syrups.

[Brooke]

Like, coffee syrups.

[Danielle]

Like. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like, so pancakes.

[Danielle]

Caramel and a chocolate. You could use it for whatever you want. But I just thought that you would, like that. Because they're like, you know.

[Brooke]

That's really cool. Yeah, definitely good ingredients.

[Danielle]

Yes. It's just cleaner ingredients.

[Brooke]

Does that feel random with everything else or. No, because they do sauces or ketchup.

[Danielle]

Yeah, they started with, I think, sauce condiments, and they started doing chips, and I feel like they're just gonna take over your entire pantry. Am I right?

[Brooke]

Am I right?

[Danielle]

Smash Kitchen coming to a pantry near you.

[Brooke]

So interesting, because whenever I hear Smash Kitchen, I think of, like, a Smash Burger.

[Danielle]

Of course. No, the name could use some milk.

[Brooke]

Well, it should be Glenn's Kitchen. I'm like, I want what Glenn's having.

[Danielle]

Yeah, Glenn.

[Brooke]

I'll have what Glenn's having. That's very funny.

[Danielle]

That's really. No, I. I think you can use them for anything. And, like, those type of syrups, it was like, make chocolate milk, put it in your coffee, whatever.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. A chalky milk with the.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Freaking syrup. I feel like Ben would like that.

[Danielle]

Yeah, no, it stayed. You know, so sometimes PR gets processed and gets put in, like, the donations pile. That those two stayed.

[Brooke]

That's. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

[Danielle]

Sometimes I just feel like makeup is working against my skin, all right? Like, I'm doing the most. I'm doing my, like, amazing skincare, and then, like, I just am kind of, like, negating all of that by using, like, makeup that is, like, not good for my pores.

[Brooke]

Oh, my goodness. I really want to influence you on this because I am obsessed. I got a Missoni robe.

[Danielle]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And I love it from regular.

[Danielle]

Just online.

[Brooke]

Yeah, online, they have it on, like, revolve forward, stuff like that. But you guys obviously know the Missoni print is gorgeous. I actually remember Bridget acquired style, had a Missoni robe, like, a year or two ago. And I was like, oh, that's cool. They do robes. So then I just went myself this past year and looked, and they. On the Missoni website, they have so many options, so many prints. They have long, they have short. I got a short for the summer.

[Danielle]

We'll see.

[Brooke]

But I am. I just. It's so happy and colorful. You guys know, my apartment's very not colorful, but it brings the color. I wear the color. It has a hood. I literally think I got a large or an xl. So I'm just like, you're buried in a night. I just. I love it. It makes me really happy. Do you have, like, a robe you're wearing?

[Danielle]

Right now I have a constant robe rotation.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I figured I have literally like

[Danielle]

five on the back of my doors. Like, I've got.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, you've got your lineup. Well, when you have an opening.

[Danielle]

Right now we're fully stocked.

[Brooke]

Fully stocked. But you should get a Missoni robe.

[Danielle]

It looks like it fits similar, I'm sure more high quality that to my Poppy robe. But I. I see the fit.

[Brooke]

It's like the Poppy robe. And I actually really. I used that one for a long time, but then I got it so dirty, even the wash was like, yeah, we're done. But it's very like the Poppy rope.

[Danielle]

That's what. No, I have the Poppy dupe.

[Brooke]

Hey, Poppy's Bobby merch, I would assume is pretty hard to come by.

[Danielle]

No, they. They crush it. Like, honestly, they. They definitely, like, don't cheap out. Like, they go to like, good manufacturers, I feel like, for their stuff because it's like always really, like, thick quality.

[Brooke]

The sweat. I still have a Poppy sweat set or two of them because I'm like, I'm not getting rid of those. They're amazing.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What's your next one?

[Danielle]

My vibration plate. I'm still using it.

[Brooke]

I literally thought you're about to say something else. No, no. Vibration blade.

[Danielle]

No, that's my favorite vibrating tool. I love it. You know, I think that I was nervous it was just gonna be a fat because, you know, I get obsessed with things and I was like, okay, I'm gonna get this thing and like, use it twice. Yeah, like, why not just use it? Like, if I'm just standing around or something, like, I'm like, I might as well just get on this thing. It feels really good to stretch on it. Well, now I'm injured, so I don't know if I can do that anymore.

[Brooke]

The self diagnosed stress, putting stress on the fracture.

[Danielle]

Yeah, but I don't know, it just. I just feel good on it. I don't know if it's actually. I. I do think that it helps me go to the bathroom.

[Brooke]

Yeah, whatever.

[Danielle]

Move things along after the morning.

[Brooke]

Coffee or Matcha or Matcha, you know, That's Matcha to you.

[Danielle]

That's Matcha to you.

[Brooke]

That's Matcha Mornings to you. Will you have a coffee in the afternoon? Like, I have no schedule.

[Danielle]

I have no schedule. Today I went to Dunkin. I started like, I became obsessed with like a Dunkin order that. That the coffee is probably a thousand calories. I'm not even joking. Like, I just like, it's like the Oreo, like, Something. I saw it. I was like, yeah, I'm going to get that.

[Brooke]

An Oreo coffee. That's awesome.

[Danielle]

It's an iced coffee with three pumps of chocolate cookie syrup and then marshmallow foam topping. I've gotten it like three days in a row now. No, I have a problem breakfast. Yeah. And that literally is my breakfast. But I get it in the six dollar meal deal because it's cheaper to get it in the meal deal than it is to get it on own. No, I'm psychotic.

[Brooke]

Like, what's the meal deal? Do you get a meal with it?

[Danielle]

You get an egg and cheese and if you want bacon sandwich and you get.

[Brooke]

Oh, I actually love their breakfast sandwiches.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, and the hash browns, they do hit pretty good. They hit really good. Hit really well. I don't know. Wow, that's funny. So today no Matcha. Then you had the Dunkin.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Or maybe option to do Matcha later. Same.

[Danielle]

Like you're doing the same thing every day.

[Brooke]

I get. Well, not the same thing, but yeah. The first thing I have is a hot cup of coffee. Coffee with cream. And then my second coffee of the day is an iced latte with hazelnut typically.

[Danielle]

And that could be your. What's the canned brand again?

[Brooke]

It could be my tranquility latte, which I'm gonna do after this. I'm gonna do it.

[Danielle]

A little tranquility moment.

[Brooke]

Yeah, tranquil. But no decaf. Still gets me buzzed. We'll love that.

[Danielle]

What are you loving?

[Brooke]

What else that you just went. Right.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Vibration plate.

[Brooke]

Ms. Alex Earl has created a lovely cleansing balm.

[Danielle]

Did you get sent that?

[Brooke]

I did, but I. Trust me, I was on like the fourth list.

[Danielle]

I didn't need.

[Brooke]

I did not get sent. I didn't get the suitcase. I didn't get even the box. I just got the products.

[Danielle]

No, the suitcase was tier one.

[Brooke]

Yeah. That was tier one of the PR send out. And then tier two, they had like a. Oh, a mailer.

[Danielle]

And you. So you just got the products in a box.

[Brooke]

I got the products. No, no. From Alex.

[Danielle]

I. I got nothing. So, you know, that's better than me. And, you know, my skin is struggling. If anybody's listening.

[Brooke]

Real active. Yeah.

[Danielle]

We had Dr. Mian on our podcast forever ago. Can we talk about that?

[Brooke]

That we actually should talk about that.

[Danielle]

Yeah, we.

[Brooke]

Doctor me on who's the dermatologist that Alex collaborated with. She's been on Gals on the Go and I think I still follow her.

[Danielle]

No, same. It was. To be completely honest, it was a partnership with Another skincare brand at the time. I mean, it was many years ago.

[Brooke]

She taught us a lot. I remember.

[Danielle]

Yeah. No, and it was just like, she was just coming on just to educate. And I think she sticks to her word, though, on, like, the products, the type of product she recommends. Yeah. I. I saw someone, like, say that they had, like, a customer service issue or they were like, oh, like, I. I think I'm breaking out from this. And Dr. Mian personally called her.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Danielle]

Like, apparently their customer service is insane.

[Brooke]

That's amazing.

[Danielle]

Isn't that crazy? I know.

[Brooke]

She's running a hotline, like, Keeping up with Real Actives. My gosh. Well, the cleansing balm is great. I've definitely used a similar product of this from other brands where it's like, you know, use.

[Danielle]

Yeah, you.

[Brooke]

I don't know how you get the product out by, like, twisting, and then it comes up, so it's very, like, clean. But I really like it. And I. I just feel like Alex Earl at the end of the night when I'm, like, taking off my makeup, I feel like I'm Alex Earl after Dancing with the Stars. Taking off.

[Danielle]

Is it scented?

[Brooke]

No.

[Danielle]

I do that. Is it. Does it make your vision a little blurry still?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I haven't found one that. That's so funny. I thought that was just, like, a me thing. No one's ever said that out loud.

[Danielle]

No, that. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like, you're in the shower, too, and you're like, where's my shampoo? Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah. That's why I, like, kind of smell. Stepped away from cleansing moms.

[Brooke]

So what do you do?

[Danielle]

I've been using, like, a wipe. Bioderma. Is that what it is?

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah. That's for my. And then for my face, I just double cleanse.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Like, I'll use you, like, a gel cleanser, then maybe like a foam cleanser after or something. Like, I don't know.

[Brooke]

Nice.

[Danielle]

Because I usually do in the shower. I. Washing my face in the shower is, like, where it's at.

[Brooke]

It's like, all I do now in the sink.

[Danielle]

It's like, it's.

[Brooke]

It's a war zone. If you wash your. No, it's shower now. And you know what? You're all lucky. So now I shower even more because we're, you know. Because we wash our face in the shower.

[Danielle]

Do you wash your face in the morning, too, though?

[Brooke]

No.

[Danielle]

Yeah. You're not. I don't think you're supposed to.

[Brooke]

You just, like, splash a little water. I don't even do that. I do use like a pad a lot of times. Like a, you know, a little pad. Yeah, the moist ones. Yeah, moist, Moist, moist, moist, moist, moist. That word literally doesn't bother me.

[Danielle]

No, it doesn't bother me either.

[Brooke]

Such like a 12 year old thing.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay, what next for you? Oh, so, yeah, the real active cleansing.

[Danielle]

I want to try it. Isn't it like sold out though? Like it's impossible to get or. No, Is it? Not anymore.

[Brooke]

Well, let me know because I have extra. Because what I did was I bought it myself.

[Danielle]

It sold out in like two minutes. Were you on it for the drop?

[Brooke]

Like, no. Oh, okay. I think I did buy it that day, but not want. So I bought it myself and then they sent me some like a week ago. About a week ago. So I literally. Oh, I think I did save the extra cleansing balm for myself, but I would give it to you.

[Danielle]

Oh, I would try any of the other products too.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, I have all the other things. I just saved the cleansing bomb for myself.

[Danielle]

The acids or whatever.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, the Mandela. I haven't tried the mandelic acid yet because I have another one I use sometimes.

[Danielle]

I don't. I don't even know what my skin needs right now. I.

[Brooke]

No, literally, I don't know. What you got for me?

[Danielle]

Okay. The MPH underpainting palette palette. Do you know this? This Mary?

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Danielle]

Have you tried it?

[Brooke]

I used it last summer a lot and I just. You're reminding me about it.

[Danielle]

Really?

[Brooke]

Do you underpaint?

[Danielle]

Wait, has it been out that long? Yeah. Wow. I. I guess I missed. Missed the first wave of that as well. Like, no, I don't always underpaint, but like, I just like the tones of it. Like for using his bronzer and then like concealer stuff.

[Brooke]

Did you get the brush too?

[Danielle]

And I did not get the brush. I have really good brushes right now from Houseless. They've incredible shapes of their brushes. Like they're really. If you ever need new makeup brushes, just know that they.

[Brooke]

Yeah, just holler.

[Danielle]

I have under painted, though. I don't know if I like.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I haven't done under painting in a while. I think your skin has to be perfect for it. Like ready for it that day.

[Danielle]

The times I've tried, it just looks too heavy.

[Brooke]

Actually. I think what the problem is, you have to be using a light foundation and I don't use a light foundation. Do you like us like a thin.

[Danielle]

Like if I'm wearing like today, I'm actually not really wearing full foundation because my Skin is just. It was just bothering me. But I. I used, like, what, the bare minerals, like foundation stick. But it's like a light.

[Brooke]

Oh, yes. Nice and creamy. Blends around.

[Danielle]

But, like, if I'm using house labs, which. That's a thick foundation.

[Brooke]

That's.

[Danielle]

That's my foundation of choice.

[Brooke]

That's your Big Daddy foundation.

[Danielle]

Like, that's my wedding foundation.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I know what you mean with underpainting.

[Danielle]

Like, it's giving.

[Brooke]

Like, I don't even see you're wearing.

[Danielle]

Make you know what you.

[Brooke]

Like, I don't even. Not on you. But, like, if you use the Big

[Danielle]

Daddy foundation, like, I don't even covers it all. I agree.

[Brooke]

So I think that's why I stopped, honestly. But it's a great palette.

[Danielle]

Yeah. And, like, who cares how you use it, right?

[Brooke]

Yeah, literally. Who cares? It's for contouring regardless. The tones are really nice. And I mean, what's her name? Mary Phillips is an amazing makeup artist, so I would trust anything I want. I want to try her foundation, actually. Foundation.

[Danielle]

Foundation.

[Brooke]

Next up, fake flowers. Faux flowers. They're great.

[Danielle]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Love getting real flowers for mine, of course, but I got some faux hydrangeas. I actually know Wayfair has a lot of pretty faux flowers. It just like, if you can find a really good faux flower bouquet, it really elevates the space and then you just don't worry. Especially hydrangeas, specifically, because they just die so quickly. So I've been loving. I got faux hydrangeas at my room in Florida, and they just make me so happy every time. And they look so real to me. So.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I feel like you have to get. If you get good ones, then they.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Look good for some reason. Like, my brain always goes to, like, like a craft store and like, seeing, like, the.

[Brooke]

I know what you're talking about looking

[Danielle]

ones, but I know that there are good looking ones.

[Brooke]

There are really good looking ones. And I just think that they really elevate space. So if I had a house, they'd be. It'd be full of, like, lots of fake flowers.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I love having fresh flowers, but they really, like, that's a job.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

No, I change the water, like, every day. If you really want to keep them fresh.

[Brooke]

I know. Because then the leaves fall in the water and get, like, smelly almost.

[Danielle]

And I feel like if you have like, like you make that nice flower arrangement, like, you're like, okay, I want to, like, keep it nice. So then you're like, you know, you have to keep up with it.

[Brooke]

So True. It's a lot of work.

[Danielle]

Yeah. It's worth it, I think, if you're, like, having people over and stuff. But like, for. And I will pick them up when I go to the girl. The grocery store. But I'm not like, filling every room with flowers on just like a normal daily basis because it's just.

[Brooke]

No, no. And nothing's better than receiving flowers, obviously.

[Danielle]

Oh, my gosh. Of course.

[Brooke]

Or picking them up at the grocery store when you're there. But for like, day to day, like, I've been traveling so much and stuff, I'm not focused on that. So I don't know.

[Danielle]

No, I completely.

[Brooke]

What's next for you?

[Danielle]

Okay. The gold Bond age. Renew retinol overnight. Talk about a name. Body and face lotion. But I only use it on the body.

[Brooke]

That's a mouthful.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Found this on TikTok. I just needed, like, a good body lotion that I. I feel like I could slather it up, put it everywhere. Good pump.

[Brooke]

Is it a pump? I was gonna say I don't need

[Danielle]

it to be too expensive because honestly, like, I go through pretty quick. Like, if you're using like a body lotion, really all over your body all the time, Like, I go. I'm going through that.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Absolutely. No, I literally, I'm using like a Jergens one with a big pump right now. Like, I just need.

[Danielle]

It's to. And it's to hit. Hitting.

[Brooke]

And it's hitting. It smells so good. Like, I know what you mean. Like, you don't need to spend a lot of money on a body lotion. Unless it's like, body oil. Maybe I would.

[Danielle]

Yeah. And I. I like. Nice one. Like, I like the necessary one. Like, I definitely do.

[Brooke]

But of course.

[Danielle]

But I feel like you don't have to, like, it's on. You know, you can get this option

[Brooke]

to get the gold.

[Danielle]

Yes. And it dries pretty quickly.

[Brooke]

So I feel like that's really important.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I don't know if it's actually doing, like, retinol. Let you know on that.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's cool that it has that in it.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Whenever things say face and body kind of throws me through a loop, though, you know, Like, I'm like, oh, is

[Brooke]

this face and body?

[Danielle]

That's what it says on the packaging. But I. I only do body. Like, I'm not. But it's giving three in one. Like, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, which I don't like. I'm like, pick a lane.

[Brooke]

Like, you could, you know, you can just be body. It's okay. No one's going to get you.

[Danielle]

No one's.

[Brooke]

No, I didn't, I didn't catch the face and body. That would make me uncomfortable. Like I'm never putting body lotion on my face so it feels weird.

[Danielle]

And face lotion I don't want to put on my body because it's too expensive. Like it's like nice, right? Yeah. So you're like, I'm not gonna waste

[Brooke]

this on my legs every now and then on vacation. Maybe you'll do this too if you're out of regulation. I'll like use my face lotion.

[Danielle]

I'm like, oh yeah, this is so sad.

[Brooke]

Of course, like using my road on like my kneecap. I'm like elastic.

[Danielle]

Even when I like start working it down onto like my neck, I'm like, okay, I'll stop that there.

[Brooke]

Okay. Don't get excited now. Epidermis like lol.

[Danielle]

Getting crazy.

[Brooke]

Getting crazy. Okay. Actually, speaking of makeup wipes and taking off your makeup, another thing I wrote down, you probably see a ton of Tik Tok shop ads for this. The clean sheets by 4am Skin.

[Danielle]

Yeah. How much are they paying for these ads? Cuz I, I get serve them a lot. And you know what? Maybe you're the last step. Like you were sent, you were sentenced.

[Brooke]

I, I have purchased them so many times now. You're like, okay, Danielle, you said you wash your face in the shower. Yeah. But every now and then if it's like a party night or even I just bring them. They're like these little sheets. I bring them for traveling specifically. I wake up in the morning, I'll use that like a pad. It has skin care in it. So as you're wiping your skin, you literally look so dewy and moisturized after. I really like the smell. They're not like scented, but I just, just, I like the smell of them and I bring them on the airplane. I've been doing a lot of like longer flights. So like when we're about to land or have, you know, premium skincare.

[Danielle]

Yes. I've been seeing a lot of those.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Yes.

[Danielle]

My, my pre landing routine. I'm like, yes, must be nice in your pod.

[Brooke]

So I really like them for that. They're just, they're amazing. They're a great makeup wipe too. You need, next time you see a Tik Tok show up ad, just, just get them.

[Danielle]

Okay.

[Brooke]

You'll be happy. You just throw them in your bag. Like I really like them.

[Danielle]

I, I've seen their story now, like, they have me so close.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

They're like, if we just give them one more video.

[Brooke]

Yeah, one more. And then Danielle will do a podcast mention, and Brooke will really.

[Danielle]

So they really take off your makeup, though.

[Brooke]

They definitely do. They. They're like a micellar. They're kind of like what you're using. They're Micellar wipe, basically.

[Danielle]

And.

[Brooke]

But I also feel like I could use them when I don't have makeup on, which I like.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

To Just a refreshment.

[Danielle]

I'm into that.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah. My last thing is I've been into Nello. Like, the. So they're like the powdered drink things. Like, they're also big on Tick tock shop.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

What is it?

[Brooke]

Tell me about it.

[Danielle]

Okay, so they have a bunch of, like, different varieties. They also, like, sell them at, like, Costco now. Like, I feel like, you know, drink mixes are, like, really popular. So the one that I use is. I think it's Super Focus is the name of it. And that one has, like, a little bit of caffeine, like vitamin L, theanine or whatever. Like, it just has, like, things like that. I actually use this a good amount in Japan, and I forgot about it. Then I, like, started using it again at home because I. This could be maybe if I, you know, don't finish my morning coffee, like, want a little something in the afternoon. The flavors, I don't mind normally with, like, some of these powdered mixes. Like, I am, like, really, like, plugging my nose to get it down. But like, these, you know what I like. I don't really like that stuff. Like, sometimes I'm just like, yeah, and this is good. There's, like, an apple flavor, which is delicious. And then they have super common. Super sleep soup. So the sleep one obviously puts you to sleep, and then the calm one just. I kind of get tired from that one, too, a little bit, I would say.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but you might benefit from that. Yeah, maybe. So the one you drink is for energy or focus.

[Danielle]

You super focus. Yeah, it's more of, like, it's a daytime. You want. I mean, I'm not gonna be like, whoa, I'm up. But, like, it.

[Brooke]

I just probably powered you through those tours in Japan.

[Danielle]

So, like, get me through. I'm, like, dry taking, like, dry.

[Brooke]

You guys have some water? I need to throw back my Nello. No, that's really cool, though. Maybe I'll bring some to Japan.

[Danielle]

What do they say? Dry scooping? Is that what it is?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Oh, when the guys do. I can't even it's so disgusting to me.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

My last one is a laundry detergent. And I will always. This isn't my favorite. I will always love the Diva Wash. Like, that stuff is so good and makes your clothes smell so good, and people will compliment you for days. Another one, Bath and Body Works. Remember we were Bath and Body Works? We were like, oh, my God, they have all these detergents. I got a detergent in the scent, Amber Blush. Oh, my God. It is.

[Danielle]

Oh, good. Really?

[Brooke]

My clothes. When I'm putting my clothes away, I literally, like, take a whiff. I'm like. Like, I'm addicted.

[Danielle]

Wow.

[Brooke]

And it smells so, so good. And they have cute little bottles. They have so many scents, too, of the detergent. I just have to say I'm, like, excited to do my laundry. I have to do my laundry later today. And I'm like, oh, going to use my Amber Blush.

[Danielle]

Look at that. You have something to look forward to.

[Brooke]

Yeah. It's fun to make the little mundane tasks in life fun.

[Danielle]

It is.

[Brooke]

Make life fun again, you know?

[Danielle]

Hey, I sent out after Japan, I had so much laundry. I sent mine out, which was. I have not done that in the longest time.

[Brooke]

Like, sometimes you have to.

[Danielle]

I. I literally was like, I don't even know the last time I've done this. And I. I. That was a real luxury. I was like, wow. So honestly, it's like. Because I feel like the whole, like, washer dryer conversation is, like, a thing in New York. But, like, sometimes I'm like, it's kind of nice. Just have someone do it for you. But I know that that's obviously, like, the real luxury.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, it is. But also, like, most of my friends in New York, they do get their laundry done because they don't have washer dryer. So, yeah, it does feel weird when you have one, but I've done it every now and then. I'm at a low point, and I have so much, and I'm like, you're so backlogged. Yeah, so backlogged.

[Danielle]

I know they say, like, I'm on, like, the Emma Greed side of the Internet.

[Brooke]

Are you there? I'm not there. I mean, every now and then I'm there there.

[Danielle]

Because she just, like, released a book and there was, like, a whole thing, like, whatever. I mean, I'm just obsessed with her. I saw her once, you know that.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah. Or not. Acl. Yeah, whatever. South. South by. South by. Yeah, Donkey.

[Danielle]

But I feel like people like that talk about, like. Like, offloading things in their Life now. And they obviously have kids, so they're like, you know, nannies, whatever. But I forget, like, when I, like, outsource something, I'm like, my God. Like, I can do that. You know, Makes free will life. Yeah, free will. I've been really reminded of free will

[Brooke]

recently, and it's so fun.

[Danielle]

Really so great.

[Brooke]

It's really so great. You're like, I could just have cereal right now if I wanted to.

[Danielle]

Yeah, no, I could.

[Brooke]

Or whatever it may be.

[Danielle]

Yeah. And I could just, like, you know, have someone help me clean my house if I want it. Like, you know, I don't have to just suffer with, like, rings in my toilets if I, like, I'm getting overwhelmed. Like, you know, I can. Maybe my foot's broken now. I don't know. I might need some extra help around that.

[Brooke]

Might need some extra.

[Danielle]

If that freaking marathon took me out, I'm gonna be so pissed. It wasn't worth it. Like, it.

[Brooke]

No, that's not. I, I. Based on how you're. I can't see you being in a boot. Like, are you in that much pain when I.

[Danielle]

When I. When it bears weight?

[Brooke]

As in, like, when you're standing or if you're holding something extra.

[Danielle]

Well, I have.

[Brooke]

I mean, I have bearing weight when you stand.

[Danielle]

I. I just.

[Brooke]

You know, you're so little.

[Danielle]

I'm so little. But, you know, my 100 plus pounds that I'm putting on, that.

[Brooke]

That's weight at the end of the day.

[Danielle]

No, that's definitely weight bearing.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I guess. Yeah, weight bearing. I just wasn't sure, you know? Yeah, well.

[Danielle]

Well, that's a wrap, folks.

[Brooke]

Wait, don't say sorry.

[Danielle]

I bought the photo package because, like, that was how I got access to all the photos. And they keep uploading more and more. I'm like, where were all these photographers? And I'm walking in every picture. I'm like, I literally walked for collectively five minutes. I'm not joking. There were five vivid points where I was like, okay. I'm.

This is a paid message from GoFundMe. Meet Juan Naula. When his son was hospitalized for a viral infection, Juan started a GoFundMe to pay for medical expenses.

[Juan Naula]

It was 5k to pay the bill for my son and I need only 22 hours. It was amazing. People really trust on GoFundMe.

[Danielle]

How did Juan raise $5,000 in less than a day? He posted a short video on GoFundMe telling his story in 30 seconds.

[Juan Naula]

30 seconds. Be specific. Be quick and tell what are you gonna be using the funds for? I was nervous to do it because it doesn't feel okay to ask money. But you shouldn't be nervous. Sometimes you just have to do it and see the results. We were able to save my son's life thanks to gofundme that we still have my son with us.
