Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Listener Shout-Outs & Questions ([03:02])

• The episode kicks off with listener shout-outs, including messages of support and admiration for Amy, and segues seamlessly into Q&A mode.
  • Notable shout-outs: Jessica in St. Louis, Steph in Ohio

2. Blended Family Dynamics ([03:31])

• Question: “Do all the kids get along? Adopted and bonus.”
• Morgan’s experience: Her boyfriend’s kids and her own get along well, especially since they’re close in age (13–18). There’s no forced friendships; organic relationships form naturally, especially during trips and family gatherings.
  • Quote (Morgan, 04:24): “It was cool to see we didn't force a lot on the summer trip… [seeing] his daughter be like, oh, I want to go get ready at their condo with Stashira… it just happened organically.”

3. Jiu Jitsu for Kids ([05:00])

• Question: “Advice for a mom taking her daughter to jiu jitsu. What am I getting into?”
• Morgan’s advice: Her son Stevenson loved it (no injuries), but the main thing to prepare for is the unique smell (“lots of feet and sweat!”). Suggests bringing wipes or advocating for better hygiene practices at the dojo.
  • Quote (Morgan, 05:20): “If it was up to me and I ran a jujitsu place, I'd be like, okay, take your shoes off. And now we're gonna wash your feet before you get on the mat.”
• Both hosts agree martial arts are empowering, especially for young girls.
• No significant injuries; the greatest benefit was structure and confidence.

4. Behind the Scenes: Filming "Holiday Harmony" ([07:11])

• Question: “Did you get to meet Brooke Shields filming Holiday Harmony?”
• Morgan didn't meet Brooke Shields; her scenes were at the very end of production and involved some last-minute script changes due to time constraints.
  • Insight: Scenes and lines often change last minute, giving Morgan a new appreciation when she watches films.
  • Rumors of a sequel, but nothing confirmed.

5. Eyebrow Journeys & Beauty Talk ([10:29])

• Question: “Eyebrow update: Did you get them microbladed?”
• Morgan’s journey: She’s removing 20 years’ worth of permanent makeup via laser, resulting in stages of “jaundice brows” before returning to her natural look. She recommends Obagi Brow Serum for hair growth, which she discovered (and promptly forgot the name of, hilariously) on Amazon.
  • Quote (Morgan, 13:34): "That's probably why the undoing has been so, so drastic."
  • Quote (Amy, 15:38): “2025 has been your year of the eyebrow.”
• Commentary on beauty trends and regret, with a goal to embrace a more natural style in 2026.

6. Christmas Wishlists ([18:20])

• Question: “What’s on your Christmas list?”
• Morgan: Only wants a specific beaded gold necklace from a local boutique.
• Amy: Requests practical gifts like a hot yoga mat towel, a custom guitar stand, and “moss balls” for home decor—humorous confusion between real and artificial moss balls ensues.
  • Quote (Amy, 20:09): “I'm not a plant household, so moss balls are about the only thing I can keep.”

7. Nashville’s Best Holiday Pop-Ups ([22:01])

• Question: “Tips for holiday pop-ups in Nashville?”
• Amy shares her favorite holiday bars and pop-ups, including Geist, Sunnies, Play Date, Pushing Poinsettias (an underground margarita bar), as well as sights like Gaylord and the picturesque town of Franklin.
  • Franklin’s toasted hot chocolate is a must!
  • Cheekwood’s holiday lights and Sip Café’s world hot chocolate flight also highly recommended.

  • A special trip to Canyon Ranch—a defining, intimate getaway, trying wellness activities and testing out traveling well together.
    • Quote (Morgan, 32:29): “That picture popped up and I was like, I'm gonna put this as my screensaver because that was just such a defining moment for…our relationship.”

Hey, it's Bobby Bones here. Have you ever tried planning a trip for a group? It can be challenging. One person wants a hotel with a pool. Another wants a vacation rental with a giant kitchen. And someone else wants free wi fi. You know, on booking.com you can find a stay that works for all of them. Hotels and rentals. Whatever you need. It makes the seemingly impossible group trip totally possible. Find exactly what you are booking for booking.com booking. Yeah, that's booking.com booking. Yeah.

Coca Cola for the big. For the small, the short and the tall. Peacemakers risk takers for the optimists. Pessimists for long distance love. For introverts and extroverts. The thinkers and the doers for old friends. And new Coca Cola for everyone. Pick up some Coca Cola at a store near you.

So let me get this straight.

[Bobby Bones]

Your company has data here, there and everywhere, but your AI can't use the.

[Amy]

Data because it's here, there and everywhere?

[Morgan]

Seems like something's missing. Every business has unique data. IBM helps your AI access your data wherever it lives.

Our-Story Best Bits of the Week with.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan Part 3 listener Q& A.

[Amy]

It is Listener Q and A Time. Happy almost Christmas. Merry almost Christmas. How would I say that?

[Morgan]

Yeah. Merry Christmas. Merry almost Happy. Happy almost. Merry Christmas.

[Amy]

I was gonna say the happy from the end and the part one is what got me. So go make sure you listen to part One this week with Amy, we are starting with shout outs. So proud of Stevenson for raising money for the orphanage. I am listening. In Florida. That's so sweet. Love, Morgan and Amy.

[Morgan]

Best bits.

[Amy]

That's from Jessica in St. Louis. I really look up to Amy. Watching her all these years. It's moving. She's amazing. Amy, you're my favorite and so hilarious on the show. That's from Steph in Ohio.

[Morgan]

Thanks, guys.

[Amy]

Little fun vibes to get everything started. Okay, starting with the first question. Do all of the kids get along? Adopted. And bonus roses from Massachusetts.

[Morgan]

So my boyfriend's kids.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's who she's referring to.

[Morgan]

Everybody gets along. Every.

[Amy]

All good in the.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I mean, we're not always together, but when we are, everybody gets along.

[Amy]

Have you had a lot of moments of. I. I think blended the movie? I don't know if you ever saw that.

[Morgan]

I mean, you know, at the house on Sunday nights for dinner or something. We'll all get together. And then we took our family vacation this last summer together.

[Amy]

Is there any kids that are similar in age?

[Morgan]

Mm, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stasher. The daughters are, and they're all close. I mean, they're all 13 to 18.

[Amy]

Okay. So, yeah, really close in age. I feel like that helps. Probably makes it a little bit more relatable to each other versus, like, big gaps in age.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And we're not forcing, like, y' all have to have this amazing friendship. Like, we don't want. Just chill. But it was cool to see we didn't force a lot on the. The summer trip, and we stayed at separate places. But it was cool to see his daughter be like, oh, I want to go get ready at their condo with Stashira. Like, so that we didn't force that. It just happened organically. And so that was cool to see. Like, oh, they want to get ready together. That's fun.

[Amy]

Well, and that's good, because it doesn't, like, create any kind of resentment of, like, I had to do this and I had to create this relationship. It's just I wanted this.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like, she wanted to get ready at her dad's hotel room. Great. She wants to come to where we were. Great.

[Amy]

Oh, fun advice for a mom taking her daughter to jiu jitsu. What am I getting into? That's from Chris.

[Morgan]

Well, Stevenson did jiu jitsu for a while, and he loved it. Now, the rolling around on the floor always grossed me out. So you just gotta be ready for the smells. Like, I feel like anytime I have.

[Amy]

A daughter too, it's gonna be a wild experience.

[Morgan]

Jiu Jitsu. Yeah. There was girls in Stevenson's class. Like, it's just sort of the. The smell. And I'm sure every place is a little different, and it didn't, like, always smell that. Maybe it was the summer months. Like, the people were taking off their shoes and then putting their feet on a mat. Like, listen, if. If it was up to me and I ran a jujitsu place, I'd be like, okay, take your shoes off. And now we're gonna wash your feet before you get on the mat. Because I don't know what your feet were doing before you got on the mat, but we're gonna clean them.

[Amy]

It's probably more. It just is. It smells like V, but it's probably a bunch of body odor from sweating. And you're rolling around wrestling with each other.

[Morgan]

Yeah. There's a lot happening. So when it's muggy.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So that's my only thing. That's the part that bothered me, but I just had to, like, not think about it. It didn't bother Stevenson at all. He was out there having a great time. So. Okay, was I. Was I going to be doing that? Nope.

[Amy]

Did you have to worry about a lot of injuries? You ever had, like, bloody noses or nothing like that?

[Morgan]

Okay. No. And he wants to go back. He hasn't done it in a little bit, but we drove past it the other day. He's like, ooh, I would love to go back and take some more jujitsu. Like, he really liked it for a while. He was going every single day.

[Amy]

Okay, this could be really good. I feel like I wish I would have gotten involved in jiu jitsu or boxing when I was young. I feel like that could have been really good for me.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it was really good for him. When he was going, it gave him structure. He had to. You have to listen. You have to pay attention. You have to know your moves. You have to anticipate you. It's almost like you're doing this, like, dance, choreographed dance, but you're rolling on the floor, and you don't know the exact outcome well.

[Amy]

And as a girl, like, having some form of feeling like you're protecting yourself and know how to. I don't know that you'd ever wrestle somebody on the ground in that same way, but I feel like that would give you some empowerment there, too. Yeah, I would think. Did you get to meet Brooke Shields when filming Holiday Harmony? That's from Danik.

[Morgan]

Did not.

[Amy]

She.

[Morgan]

I was actually there the final Day of filming. So they had filmed everything else. And even though my scenes weren't the final scenes, they were towards the end. But, you know, they film out of order. And my day that I was there, that happened to be the final day of filming. So they had to get everything done that they needed to. In fact, there was a whole scene they ended up scratching because we didn't get to it. And it was like, well, that's not making the movie because we're not. We don't have another day.

[Amy]

Wait, so does that give you perspective when you're watching something and you're like, I feel like a scene got moved here and it didn't get added in because they didn't have enough time.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I mean. Yeah, you never know like what got left behind just because of time and budget. Like they weren't gonna have everybody come back again the next day just to finish that one scene. They just had to make it work without it. And so that caused some pivoting and a line that I was gonna say because we were no longer shooting the scene where I was gonna walk outside. It was actually a scene where I was supposed to be getting into a car like a black Suburban while I'm on the phone with Ryan Seacrest.

[Amy]

What an interesting.

[Morgan]

Yeah, because Sissany was in the movie with me and that's Ryan's co host.

[Amy]

Yeah. Okay.

[Morgan]

And it was an I Heart Christmas Eve special. So to be on the phone with Ryan made sense.

[Amy]

Got it.

[Morgan]

Still. Still not quite following that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But Ryan wasn't really gonna be on the line. We were just gonna be like, okay, yeah, Ryan, you're gonna be on one of those. We'll talk to you later.

[Amy]

Where you see their phone and it's like, you can tell that it's not on a phone call. I wanna the. Okay, so last year, and I might have made this up in my head, I don't know. But I thought you had said that they may do a second one. Have you heard anything of that?

[Morgan]

I think when we were filming it or after it came out at some point in the next year, falling like there were. Oh, maybe there could be a holiday harmony too, Like a follow up.

[Amy]

But nothing.

[Morgan]

That was just talk, I guess. I haven't heard anything.

[Amy]

Well, I haven't seen anything come out either. So it's not like there was and you weren't asked. You know what I mean? I haven't seen a second one.

[Morgan]

Yeah, so that would be.

[Amy]

They just made it, didn't do it like womp, womp.

[Morgan]

Like, oh, yeah, we're doing this again. Which I see they could take it a totally different angle, and maybe they don't have I heart involved because that's the only reason why I was in it. But, like, they could make a holiday harmony too. But they liked you.

[Amy]

And I remember you saying that they were like, well, if we do another one, like, we'll let you know.

[Morgan]

Yes. Or we'll keep you in mind for something else. I still follow the director on Instagram, and sometimes when I heart his stuff, I'm like, maybe he'll see me heart this. And he'll be like, oh, yeah, Amy. She'd be perfect for this next movie I'm working on.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. That is like, the same kind of feeling when I don't know if you were ever like this, but when you were younger and you'd go to a concert and you're like, well, if I don't look at the artist and they'll think that I'm cool and I don't listen to him, and they might talk to me or something like that.

[Morgan]

I never thought that.

[Amy]

You never did. This is a thing that's been popping up on social media, and it, like, brought back a memory in my head that you'd go to a concert or, like, you'd be dressed up a certain way, hoping that they'd pay attention to you. However, your way was to, like, get them to notice you.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's funny. Yeah. But I could see the thought behind it. I just never had that experience.

[Amy]

It's that same feeling you're talking about where you're like, I don't know that.

[Morgan]

I ever had seats close enough to where they could see me, so it wouldn't matter.

[Amy]

I don't think I did either. But you know what? I still thought that my. My seat in 20000B was gonna be seen and something was gonna happen. So don't. Don't ask me why, but that reminded me of that whole thing online eyebrow update. Did you get them microbladed? What's happening?

[Morgan]

Thanks, Karen In Minnesota, they are not microbladed. I still have one more laser appointment, actually. Next Thursday on the 18th. We're finally.

[Amy]

So laser, meaning they're going off again?

[Morgan]

Yeah. Well, so we've had to do it in phases. So there was. They were brown because I had microbladed, and they. The ink was brown to match my hair. Ish. Ish. Because I. Blonde highlights. And then the first laser, they turned red, and then the second laser appointment, they turned orange, so the color's fading. And then because these are the colors, like the color to make the brown, it clearly had red undertones. So then you have to get rid of the undertones. So there was the brown and the red. Then the third laser turned them yellow. So right now there, if you look really close, there is a jaundice looking. I have jaundice brows, like, right underneath my hair. You can see yellow eyebrows, like, yellow skin.

[Amy]

Is this trying to revert them back to their original color?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Amy]

The.

[Morgan]

The. The ink. It's almost like if you got a tattoo and you have to remove it in layers, like, so you have to get multiple laser treatments to get rid of it. So this is peeling back the layers of ink. So now I have to. On Thursday, they'll be going in, and hopefully this will be the final one. And when they zap it, the yellow will go away and it'll just be my skin. No. No.

[Amy]

No ink or no. Also no hair.

[Morgan]

No ink. I have hair.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

See, I have hair. My hair is.

[Amy]

Oh, I know. That's why I was like, those look really?

[Morgan]

Yeah. So my hair has been growing back now. It'll probably singe some of the hairs and it turns them white.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So that sucks. That's why I've been putting off this final appointments, because I finally got my brows to start growing back and have, like, been tenting them and like, with, you know, you can do at home kits, like, with hair dye.

[Amy]

Okay. I was gonna say you're not like, dyeing them again because you just went through all of this.

[Morgan]

No dyeing. You can dye your hair. What I had done was permanent makeup, like, tattoo. Microblading is like tattoo.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So I'm not changing the color of my hairs. That's what you do with the hair dye. Like, if you want, you can get, like, just for men, like, what they use on their beards, and you can put that on your brows and that will color it. That's fine. That's safe. That's temporary. That will come and go. It's the microblading that's very permanent. Now will I get them microbladed again? I don't know. Maybe They've made some advancements now. I first got microblading or permanent makeup or whatever like in my 20s. So that was like 20 years of touch ups that was being layered on top of each other.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So that's probably why the undoing has been so, so drastic.

[Amy]

2025 has been your year of the eyebrow.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So I will say I was using this growth serum And I think that that's been helping. Oribe. Is that the brand? Oribe? You know, Oribe, the. I think they have a skin Google Oribe lash and brow serum or maybe just brow serum. I got it on sale on Amazon. I will say it's pricey, but it lasted me months and I got it on sale.

[Amy]

Like Oribe, like O R I B E. Is that right?

[Morgan]

Obagi? Maybe.

[Amy]

Okay, I see. Obagi.

[Morgan]

Okay, sorry, Oribe is shampoo and stuff, but Obag is a skincare line. Do you have Obagi eyebrow gel or serum?

[Amy]

Yep, Obagi lash and brow serum set.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, that's a set. I don't get them for my lashes.

[Amy]

But you could get eyebrow boosting serum.

[Morgan]

That's it. That's what I got specifically. And I will say I have seen growth in like the thickness of my brows and hairs coming in in areas where maybe it was a little more sparse. So after this next laser treatment, which I just ran out of that, so I'm glad we've got the name pulled up because I would have been like Googling Oribe. I already threw away the tube when it ran out. But I need to order some more. And after I go get my final laser treatment, I'll start putting my serum back on to try to regrow the brows that got singed off.

[Amy]

Well, at least you know that they will grow faster.

[Morgan]

Yeah, now I know they will come back. And now I know. Just trust the brows I'm in. Try to get them to grow.

[Amy]

No more following trends when they happen.

[Morgan]

Well, yeah, but I was in my 20s, like you're thinking. I mean, it was permanent makeup when I first got it done in my 20s and then it turned into microblading and oh, we're here too long for my brows. But it's. Yes, it's been decades long worth of stuff and I'm finally glad to just have them be my brows.

[Amy]

2026 will be the year of new Amy with her brows for new brows.

[Morgan]

Hopefully no more laser treatments on my brows.

[Amy]

Take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Michelle in Texas wants to know what's on your Christmas list for yourself.

[Morgan]

Gosh, I have one thing that I gave my boyfriend. It's a necklace.

[Amy]

Okay, from where is it? Oh, is it like a really pretty necklace?

[Morgan]

It's. It's like gold beads. Okay. It's like, what's the brand image? Is it Emma J. Maybe man might be image A. Nope, that's definitely not it. I just clicked on image on my computer and I can't. I don't remember even the name. It's from a local boutique here where they have this particular jewelry and I love the necklace. My friend actually has one and I've admired it for a long time and I said, where did you get that? And she said, oh, I got it at this boutique. That's what originally took me to the boutique, and I'm like, this place has a lot of amazing stuff. And so I took a picture of.

[Amy]

That.

[Morgan]

And then sent it to him. Sue.

[Amy]

And that's it. That was the one and only option.

[Morgan]

That's the one and only thing I have on my list. I know I need to. I guess I don't really know that I'll ask for anything else. I'm not sure I see.

[Amy]

Yeah. What about you get to a point in your life where you just. If you want something, you go get it. Especially as an adult. Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Morgan]

Like, I feel like that's kind of where I am. Ish.

[Amy]

Because, like, the things that I gave my parents who wanted something. I have a hot yoga mat because I. Or a towel for that because I just don't want to have to keep watching the one that I have. And then I got a really. A really cool custom guitar when I did the Red Bull jukebox thing that I'm going to hang in my podcast room. And I'm getting a. I want a gold hand to, like, hold that. And that's all I have.

[Morgan]

Oh, there I did. My boyfriend's sister was asking what I wanted for Christmas, and I was like, oh, okay. So I sent a link to these green moss balls on Amazon. They're like $12, but they're decorative, and I want them little jars.

[Amy]

Like, you keep them in a little jar with water?

[Morgan]

No, they're like the size of a tennis ball, and they go in a bowl, like, for my dining room table.

[Amy]

Oh, they're not real.

[Morgan]

No. Well, I don't know if it's like, dead moss that's turned. They paint green. I have no idea.

[Amy]

Well, there is a little moss. This is a cute little gift my sister had given me. One of these. There's a cool place in Wichita called Grow, where you can go and, like, make your own plant bouquet thing. But, like, plants, not flowers. And it's a bar and stuff, but they sell these teeny, tiny little moss balls, and you can have them in a little glass jar, and they just sit in water and they float. She put hers with a little cowboy hat on top of it.

[Morgan]

Oh, cute.

[Amy]

And they're cute little plants, and that's the only plant I've been able to keep alive. That's what you reminded me of when.

[Morgan]

You said moss balls. Yeah. You don't. I don't. You don't need water for these. But they're just, you know. Have you seen them?

[Amy]

Like, I think I Know what you're talking about.

[Morgan]

It's just. I don't know. My sister told me I needed to add some green to my table.

[Amy]

I was like, okay, greenery always helps make things livelier. Yeah, I have noticed that. But I kill everything that's green, so. My boyfriend brought a bunch of plants when he moved in with me. I have killed every single one of them.

[Morgan]

Oh, no. Well, why wasn't he put in charge of keeping them alive?

[Amy]

He was, but it's more just me and my house. I'm telling you, if you bring in a living thing that's a plant into my house, it will not survive. I don't. I don't think my house has enough sunlight. Indirect or direct sunlight.

[Morgan]

Oh, so they just weren't in the right spot to thrive?

[Amy]

Well, we put them outside and they started thriving, but then as soon as.

[Morgan]

The winter hit, they were gone.

[Amy]

Yeah. So I'm. I'm not a plant household, so moss balls are about the only thing I can keep for that. Tips for special holiday pop ups or places you'd recommend seeing in Nashville for Christmas.

[Morgan]

Oh, this is Morgan's specialty. Sorry, it's from who?

[Amy]

It's from Heidi.

[Morgan]

Heidi. Okay. Yeah.

[Amy]

Have you been to any.

[Morgan]

Step on.

[Amy]

You go to any, like, Christmas pop ups?

[Morgan]

No.

[Amy]

Really? This is, like, my favorite thing to do when Christmas hits, so. And I don't. I'm not even drinking. I've been having, like, hot apple, apple cider and hot chocolate from some places. That's what I've been having. So I will tell you the pop ups that I'm planning to go to that I and that I really like are Geist Tailgate Brewery in Germantown. They have, like, a German one. Guist is always decorated so insanely well. Sunnies has a bunch of stuff up in Christmas cocktails you can drink. Play Date is also a cool one. They have a cool slide in the back, but everything's like, ornaments are everywhere. Tinsel, and then pushing poinsettias, which is actually pushing daisies. It's an underground margarita bar, but they decorated it all out for Christmas, turned it into pushing poinsettias. Oh, cute. And then what are the other ones? Oh, also Gaylord. You should walk around for sure. And Franklin is amazing.

[Morgan]

Oh, it's decorated so pretty downtown Franklin.

[Amy]

Yeah, we're going down there when my boyfriend's mom gets in town because they have a toasted hot chocolate that I really want to try. I've been seeing it, of course, all over social media, but Franklin is really pretty. Just in general to walk around. So I want to get a little toasted hot chocolate and pretend I'm in a Hallmark movie.

[Morgan]

Love it.

[Amy]

It's my favorite way to celebrate Christmas. And then there's cheekwood. That's really cool. And Scuba actually turned me on to this one sip cafe. They do hot chocolate from around the world, so it's pretty fun. There's six or eight different hot chocolates from different places and you can create a little flight or you can just have one. But those are kind of the things that are on my list. So maybe that'll help you. Heidi? Yeah. Now we have gifts. Can you Recommend your top 5Amazon gifts to give right now? Renee from Iowa. And I don't know if we have top five, but maybe we have a few.

[Morgan]

Well, I just went through some Amazon orders that I have of like these are things that might be different or unique that someone might not think of, but you could get like if you know they like to read, if there's a fun book you would have want to get of them. But in addition to the book on Amazon, they have these amber book lights that clip onto a book and they're for nighttime reading. So it's either a red or amber colored light so it won't disrupt their circadian rhythm.

[Amy]

Love that.

[Morgan]

You can turn all the lights off and they can have their little reading light. That is the type of light that's good for your eyes and your body. So I would recommend that like a blue light blocking light and that's just something they may not go buy for themselves. And it's $12 and it's a cute little.

[Amy]

I love a warm light, I'm telling you. That's why I love Christmas so much.

[Morgan]

I love warm lights, warm lights. I also think this could be a cute gift, but maybe that's because I love dryer balls. Now on Amazon, they have just plain white wool dryer balls or, or you can Google the animal dryer balls. And there's some brands that make cute little bumblebees or sheep and they have these cute little faces and you could get a bag of the dryer balls and a bottle of vanilla essential oil and that just would be a cute little gift to give somebody. And maybe they've never been introduced to dryer balls before. They can replace their dryer sheets with that and then they can have the vanilla essential oil and it's just a cute little gift.

[Amy]

I don't think I've ever used dryer balls before.

[Morgan]

I had to when I had that rash on my chest. It was, like, over a year ago. I had this rash. I couldn't get rid of it. And my dermatologist was like, are you using dryer sheets? And I said, yes. And I was like, they're my favorite thing. Don't take that away from me. I love the way they smell. And now I use unscented, plain, or free detergent.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Which I used to be obsessed with this mango, coconut, or something like detergent that I had. It was so good. But now I've got plain, unscented. So boring. And then I've got my cute dryer balls, though. Maybe that's why my dryer balls make me so happy now with my vanilla essential oil.

[Amy]

What did. What do dryer balls do? Like, I know it. Don't dryer sheets, like, help with the static and stuff?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I still feel like my clothes is still a little staticky, so I don't really know. It just, like, separates things, helps things, like, dry faster.

[Amy]

Because I've never used dryer sheets or anything. I just full raw dog them.

[Morgan]

Oh, really? Wow.

[Amy]

Well, because dryer sheets, I. I read about how, like, if a dog ends up getting one, and they're, like, super, they can die from them. I was like, well, I'm never gonna have those in my house. So I just never did it. So.

[Morgan]

Do you use fabric softener?

[Amy]

No.

[Morgan]

Oh. See, I don't use that anymore either because that got taken away from me by my dermatologist as well. So I use vinegar. Vinegar is supposed to help soften the clothes a little bit. So I feel like.

[Amy]

But then wouldn't you smell like vinegar?

[Morgan]

No, you don't.

[Amy]

Vinegar is, like, a really.

[Morgan]

I know, but it doesn't. You don't. You put, like, just a little bit in. How do you put it, though?

[Amy]

In, like, do you dump it on the clothes?

[Morgan]

I just dump it in the. Where the fabric softener would go, like, fill that up to the max line. So it's not. Who knows? Maybe I need to do more. But even if I've washed certain things, like my dogs or that vinegar will help get rid of odors, too. So I put, like, a cup of vinegar in, and with that much water that's in your washing machine, it rinses out. It doesn't smell like vinegar.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Amy]

I'm trusting that.

[Morgan]

But I feel like it's helped with odor. And then my final. So this would be the third one that I think is just a cute gift, and Grace and Stella is the brand, and they have really cute under Eye patches. Like the packaging is just cute. They have different kinds. Doesn't matter which one you get. They're all going to be great. There's like pink, purple, green. They all have different things they do like de puffing or hydrating. Just pick one because the packaging is cute. And then again, that's not something that someone may want to go buy for themselves, but they would like it. And then pro tip, tell them, yeah, keep these in your fridge in the morning, wake up and put them on your eyes as like a little treat.

[Amy]

Oh, I like that their packaging is cute. I do have a few of them that people have given me as a gift.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And I'll pull them out just because they are cute. Yes.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Because when you put on your eyes, they still have cute. Because I've ordered some brands before. They're just because they're a better deal at times and that's just what I'll get for myself. But they're just these bright gold kind of even ugly gold. They're not even that cool looking. But the Grace and Stella ones are just cute. So that's why it's like if you're giving it as a gift, go cute.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's more fun that way too. Okay, so mine, I have a few like kitchen things because I've just been spending a lot of time cooking lately with all of my diet changes. So. But this one has been a game changer. It's an automatic soap dispenser. Did you even know these existed? Because I didn't up until about five days.

[Morgan]

I've seen them in like public restrooms.

[Amy]

Yeah, not like that kind. Like, you know how you have a little like soap that comes in a bottle and then you put it in a cute little thing.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

That's decorative, but this is like a decorative one, but you just like put your hand under it and it automatically dispenses soap. And I'm telling you, it's been such a game changer for cooking and like being in the kitchen. And it has been, I don't know how I lived without it kind of vibe.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Amy]

Now that I have it. So I love that. If you know somebody who cooks a lot, that's a great one. I've been doing a lot of simmering on my stove lately because I don't use candles and stuff. So I've been doing like orange peels and cinnamon sticks and cranberries and stuff.

[Morgan]

Same.

[Amy]

And it's been my favorite. So I got a little glass simmer pot so I could see it Simmer.

[Morgan]

Oh, a glass simmer pot. That's a good idea. Yeah.

[Amy]

And I was really scared that I thought it was going to break everywhere because I've broken a few glass things recently. It's not been going well since I transitioned everything over. But this one didn't. It's made of. I'm going to butcher the name of this, but it's borcelet bore. I don't know. It's a type of glass that it's made out of, so.

[Morgan]

So you're good.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's going to break it bust open on you, but I love my.

[Morgan]

Is that from Amazon?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Found that on Amazon. A little glass simmer box because then you can see all the cute things that you put inside of it. And then. So because of all the health changes too, I haven't been able to have like all my yummy drinks, hot chocolate and stuff, besides the few times I'm out and about. But Liquid IV has a hot chocolate flavor.

[Morgan]

Ooh, yum.

[Amy]

And it's actually really good and satisfies that craving. So if you have somebody who's like really trying to be hydrated, which is most women because we suck at drinking water as a collective unit. So Liquid iv hot chocolate. And then also animal face ornaments are super cute. You can do find all kinds. So the one I order from is not from. Or Amazon. It's not from Amazon. It's from Perky Prince. They have little glass and ceramic ones if you want something a little leveled up. But I know there's also some on Amazon that you can do a version of that. Everybody loves their animals. You can get them an ornament. It's on their tree, or a dryer ball or dryer that is also an animal. And then the last one is a game. We play this every time my family's in town. We play it every Christmas, Thanksgiving. It's called Monopoly Deal. Have you ever played this? Have you ever played Monopoly, I'm assuming?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Amy]

So it's Monopoly, but a card version. So it goes very quickly and it's a lot of fun. My sister just brought an NFL version for Thanksgiving. So they do different variations of it, much like the Monopoly game. So you can get different things like that. And that one has created a lot of fun in our family.

[Morgan]

So Kat, the co host of my podcast, her birthday was early in December and her husband made a custom Monopoly game for them because they love games. So I don't know. Y' all will have to Google. It's probably who knows how long it takes for them to make it. But just keep this gift in mind. You can put your own custom pictures, and you can even make up what the spaces are. So, you know, he had, like, some of their favorite spots or they love espresso martinis, so you could land on espresso martini. And then he had a picture of them drinking espresso martinis and then a big, like, collage of pictures of them in the center. And then he named it Vanopoly. Their last name is Van Buren. And so the box says Vanopoly. And then you open it up and they played around a Vanopoly. And I just thought it was so cute. I mean, you worked on it for a while, so some thought has to go into it, But I had no idea that that was an option where you could customize a game like that.

[Amy]

I didn't either. And I love that idea. I might steal that idea for something.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Isn't it good? Yeah.

[Amy]

Especially people who play games. That's awesome. Okay, end on something super cute. Really quick. What is your favorite memory with your men so far in your relationships? Haley in Wisconsin.

[Morgan]

Oh, this just came up on my phone actually, like, as a memory, and I saved it as my new screensaver. It is from last November. We went to this. What's it called? Canyon Ranch, I think on the east coast.

[Amy]

Oh, and this is when you soft launched your relationship.

[Morgan]

I remember that, but I soft launched it later when Canyon Ranch posted something because my friend works for there. That's why. She was like, hey, I want to send you there. I was like, okay. So I was like, hey, do you want to go to Canyon Ranch? And he was like, oh, I'd love, because it's a wellness place. And we did, like, some hikes and the food is all cooked a certain way, and we did pilates and massages. Like, it was a very. We were there for less than 48 hours, but it's still awesome. And that picture popped up and I was like, I'm gonna put this as my screensaver because that was just such a defining moment for. Yeah. Our relationship. And like, oh, I can travel with this person. Oh, I really like being around this person. Like, just seeing how they react and like, we'd never flown together and seeing them in all the different environments and how they are. And so that. That is a favorite memory is that trip. Because when I just saved this yesterday as my now screensaver because I was like, we need to go do something like that again, because that was fun and a good time. And, yeah, we had to finagle some things to make it happen between his kids and mine. And that's probably. And worked. So we were. Yeah, we were there less than 48 hours. When she was saying, hey, yeah, go for four days if you can. I was like, shoot, we can't. But we'll go Friday night to Sunday morning, you know, And I think we need to make time to do something like that again. So that's a favorite thing.

[Amy]

It's really good for connecting in a relationship. Those kind of trips are perfect.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Even if we did something like, you were just naming all the different things to do in town. Like, if we did, like, a staycation. But we just went out and treated Nashville like it was like we're visiting. Like. Cause if we were in New York or somewhere else, like, I would go hit up all those places. But because it's in Nashville, like, I don't go. But back to Kat and her husband. They're really good at that. They do. They act like they're on vacation all the time in Nashville.

[Amy]

I love that it's a perfect city to do it because you always have things to do. Plenty of new restaurants to try. Yeah. So it's perfect. It's funny you say trips, too, because the one that comes to mind for me is the. It was our Disney universal trip. I mean, all three of them are kind of like my big moments. But that universal trip was a game changer because I feel like I learned so much about him and him understanding my entire personality of how I organize things and how I interact and do things in the world. Our road trip was kind of like the introduction into it, for sure. And then the Disney Orlando trip was really just a more like, you really see how I can be on a organizational side and do all these things. And it ended up just being one of my favorite memories. Cause we're both nerds. We love to, like, both geek out and have a fun time. And that's where our, like, Harry Potter obsession became together. And we're like, oh, we both love this.

[Morgan]

This.

[Amy]

We do this a million times over. So that was a. That was a really cool memory. Or the one that he planned. Those are the kind of two ones that come to mind for my birthday trip. You probably feel the same way about the Charleston trip that he planned for you.

[Morgan]

For sure. That is a good memory.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

I hadn't thought. I guess that one was top of mind because it just popped up on my phone. But you're right. I think actually my favorite memory might be the Charleston because I had never been there before and that place is so stinking cute.

[Amy]

Well, and that's like when he surprised me with a trip in the mountains and we were in this, like, cute little cabin I didn't even know existed. Yeah, surprises. We love being surprised.
