Yeah, baby belly and LDL. Yeah, we're ruining it for a representing for The Mamas. I love you Christine. We love it. We're trying out Kim Kardashian who's having baby number four. And is it only the Kim K is of the world that could manage for I'm so jealous. She just has all the resources are.Would you really want to have more than two? Well, we'll talk about that in the Pod. We're talk about Sarah Silverman who called out Hulu for charging her $1,500 for hair and makeup for the Emmys hilarious story. We'll get into that and Amy is gonna School us skincare skincare. We're getting lots of tips lots of tricks and then as always we're going to give you guys our favorite finds products that were crushing on no affiliation. Just good old-fashioned product love. Let's do it. Thank you UPS. Okay, we're good across this and I really thought of myself since I'm pregnant baby's coming in three months, but Chrissy Teigen recently interviewed herself, which is great. I love how she has like these soliloquies on Twitter and just decides to bring up things. But she talked about her body now post-pregnancy weight gain, and she kind of was just like Unapologetic. This is what I look like now she even said basically I'm 20 pounds. Than I was before miles. He's 10 months old and I really just never lost the weight because I love food so much and I'm just coming to terms with my new normal. She even said like I never have to be in a swimsuit again. Like this is the body that I have and of course Twitter and Instagram freaked out and start judging our bad one of the things that she said that I thought like, how could you possibly judge someone when you read this because she says the thinnest ice I've ever been was right after Luna postpartum depression. I'll take these pounds and this feeling as opposed to postpartum depression. Open to me I cannot imagine. I mean, there's just haters no matter what but I can't imagine reading that knowing that someone was only looking that way because of the torture that they were living in and you still decide to talk shit, but the sad part about that and this is where I think you have to break up reality from celebrity a little bit too. Is that even if as much hate as Chrissy Teigen like someone of her stature on social media might get because of it, you know, of course, there's those haters that are like, oh you're so fat now and you were so Whatever. You don't look the way you did. The reality is. I feel like she has so much positivity around her like from that celebrity status of like the upper echelon of people who are you know, we talked about being accepted. She has that around her so really like even if she she I feel like someone like her she can actually say I'm comfortable being 20 pounds heavier. I'm so I was definitely kind of saw this coming like she's always shared her stretch marks. Yeah, she's talked about how she was dealing with alcohol, you know abuse right after her her daughter because she was so depressed like she's always been so honest about everything. So the fact that she's saying like quit asking me kind of thing. This is what my body looks like and I'm okay with it you should too is awesome. She actually I mean I will say there's a some of those people that make you feel like I just love you and you make me feel real like it's okay to be real. She's definitely one of those like, I recently I don't know if you guys saw that I we talk about this all the time about getting the hater-aide on Instagram. I was in Hawaii for spring break and I posted and the funny thing is I posted a picture of me and Is it which it's already hard enough for me? Because I just feel like you know your mom and your dad and I were actually one speaking to the swimsuit as being something that really was growing right? I know every girl look like a thick pad that the line doesn't it? Okay shut the book on hold on. Hold on. I saw what happened but like an orally I'm sorry, but you can't talk. I'm looking up your computer. Go ahead look at it, but I was even speaking. In fact that like it's so hard even as moms because I can't sit there and like be in Best posture. I had my little guy behind me pulling on me. So you're already not standing. You know what I mean? Like everyone looks a certain way in a one-piece. I already look like I'm pregnant because there's a one piece is do that to me. Whatever. Anyways, I kind of speak to the fact of like, oh this one suits so good because it's actually forgiving whatnot. And then this troll literally says, why do you look pregnant and and then and then I screenshot it and I put it on stories and I was like, all right, then she shared who it was that I chose. I was like the trolls come out at night and then I made a funny. Like I normally do I was like oh because I maybe had too much poke and Margarita and I was like and then I wrote that and I was his little legs behind you. So I'm zooming in right now. There's no legs right there. I had my son behind he was totally put whatever either way. I don't need to justify why I look the way I do. I think the part that and whenever I do share these things on stories, I don't do to call the Personnel although I want that person to know and anybody else that like, it's just this healthy reminder that we are real people behind these pictures and also, So it's like just be kind like and she literally wrote back she commented back and I think she deleted because I think she's getting a lot of messages about it. But she wrote she's like I didn't mean that in a bad way pregnant women are beautiful like yes, if you're trying to be and you are Danielson. Also I call bullshit on her because you wouldn't write it like that. If you don't like being pregnant's beautiful you'd be like, oh my God, congratulations, like like not verified moment. When are you expecting or I don't know. Why do you look like Look at that exact. It's a mean thing to say, so don't try to act like you're hiding behind saying oh my God. No. No, that's not what I'm saying because you got called out because it felt Anonymous until the person called I will say for that day that I was on vacation. It did make me feel like shit. It really made me finish it and I was like, I'm not enjoying it. It's one person over right now. If you look amazing and people that you know, what our friends I said stuff and that's the thing too though. Like with with Chrissy that I feel bad for her is that she's like deep in the comments, you know, like in a baton and unhealthy way she is in there. She is replying to people and that's why we partially we love her because we see her replies that's all the people out and you follow the thread but she's reading them. She's ingesting them. She's feeling you're right exactly two thousand comments in and she's replying to that you're so right to me. That's why I like almost like she needs like a detox almost from social media because she engages in it in such a deep way that if she's getting negativity. That's true. I think that even if you have loving people around, right it does you even said really what he was going to Bali and just Restart always give celebrities the break that I should because but you do it just like what I just said, I need to eat practice what I preach like there are many people's one common and made you feel like crap all day, even though you were with your husband was probably grabbing on your ass with your kids who are hugging on your legs. You had all that beautiful energy around you and still it just comes really like shit and it was one person true, but she's getting it like from thousands and thousands especially because there's so many people who hate her because she's she's politically active. So there's one whole side that just bashes her just because it's sport. So she receives hate on a effing regular basis in a good normally if you're listening. Oh my God, I will say I mean that to imagine shooting him. I think what's cool about pregnancy is you start to grow, you know small and then you start to get bigger. It's almost like your body would work for small first thing you start you have like a little bump and you really start ball. That's a but I feel like there's like a natural course of you know, you start to accept Okay, my body's changing and that's kind of what's great about being pregnant for nine to ten months. Is that there becomes this acceptance? And appreciation and like when I had my daughter, I like still had my belly and like, you know my little dough ball of a stomach but I don't know I was just in baby Heaven that it I think I'd go back and forth. Did you guys ever do a belly wrap after your baby? Yeah. I had to go over some section. And so I did feel like I did it for both, but I feel like I go through a little bit of both like I'm so that type of person where I'm like, I'll look at some of these pictures on Instagram of these moms that look ridiculously amazing. Okay now I want to look do you think so Mike? Guess what I'm getting at is I feel like women that do kind of go there go there when they're not pregnant meaning we order me a go to that place where they're like, they are concerns like ice on it when you're pregnant. There's no expectation on your body when you're pregnant, you're like this thing is like even when I'm not pregnant like I don't ever think of well that is that like I don't I think it's just because I don't know. I just never say that because in between Millie like you knew that you guys were gonna have another baby. No, I just think before Mel. Like I was just oh, I've never had a six-pack and I kind of any time. I look in the mirror. I kind of was just like I don't know why but this is what my body look. Yeah, you know, I satisfied me too. I feel the same like my girlfriend's that you know do have you know work out and like are used to seeing their body with certain muscles and tones. It affects them way more right? Right, right like that didn't really affect me really because it wasn't, you know, I don't work out. I don't really put a lot of like emphasis on that because I think that might be like how I do a lot of I work with a lot of beauty and skincare so if All of a sudden I had massive breakouts. I think it would affect me differently than like the weight gain. So I think you're right. I think if you put I just think sometimes you're the same woman you are before you have the baby as after and it and if you aren't it takes a lot to get there it does. You know, I think that when you look at yourself, Yeah, if you feel like you look like a different person. Yeah after you're done it maybe I think yeah, I think there's a lot of identity. I think it's impossible to imagine that women don't connect to their physical appearance in a deeper way that like men can't understand. It's from the moment. You're born. There's such a it's such a coward of you know, it's just such a part of you either way, right? Like either way. It's how you present yourself to the world whether you choose to embrace one style a different style your heavier your thinner your, you know grunge your Whatever it is, like it's a way that you're expressing yourself. And when you feel like your appearance doesn't Express who you are on the inside. I think it's natural absolutely really to struggle with that and I feel like that if I don't feel like I'm my best I do I feel it affects my what if your best to what I'm getting at is something that Christie also said is like, you know, I guess I could lose those extra 10 pounds, but like what they're going to do for me, right? But I love food so much. So that's kind of how I feel like I will always choose to go out to eat dinner instead of working out and like that's just like that is how I feel my best or like the clothes that I wear. I choose to you know, like where your body is, right? Yeah, totally something that I feel like comfortable in versus something I can strive for. I think that's because that's you have a healthy. You're lucky to have a healthy mind you of yourself where I think that most many many women. It's such a struggle for them because they don't naturally have that view. I think if most women felt the way you did this wooden this lady a big station. I want a big conversation because I think Squirrels don't feel that way right wrist was aren't like well, I'm good with yeah, I think I did against so true. Absolutely. I think a lot of it comes back to like my upbringing like I think about being a tomboy and how my mom never said those things out loud or talked about it and like if she got you know when she got ready for church, she do her makeup and wear cute dresses, but I mean there was never like that looking in the mirror and kind of like, I don't know. So now as a mom and I talked about Mellie and I've talked about this before my Instagram people used to go up to her and say how juicy she is and how yeah, you know, but there were like things as would skew kind of out she's big for her age and she and I'm like actually knows. Yeah, but don't go too. So what a weird thing to say it is but no it comes up you freak. Yeah, but no my highlights and her side of the family is definitely a little bit more round. And so she tells me with my daughter Mila. She'll be like OK Mimi, you know what she's going to be five now. So let's just make sure we check like let make sure she's eating really healthy and I'm like Mom she's five like she is she still has her baby her baby winter, but again, You know, but yeah, it's something that's bread. I think early on and I think we should all be going well Randy because serious I want that beautiful laid-back view. But anyways, I love Chrissy Teigen. Yes, I think it's awesome. And I hope more people respect her decision to just go with the flow and a good listening that is either thinking about pregnancy or is pregnant from their first. I think that's the biggest thing is like it's that it's that mindset and knowing ahead of time that like you were going to look for five months. Pregnant after you have this baby course. Yeah, your organs are still in Crazy places. You have to ask you 10 minutes to create this person is going to take your tongue towns plus to go back to where you are. And even then you're going to maybe not look the same and that's okay because I guarantee most women that I know they do go through periods of time where they're not happy with themselves. And yeah, you know externally as they feel internally but there is that new appreciation that's found because it's so much more worth it to have this person that you know have versus not so before we move on Next one I just want to say is you were talking about your organs being in a crazy place. That is one thing I mentioned just a second ago about the belly rabbit. Any of you are pregnant or about to deliver or just had a baby. I really really recommend the belly rap. I remember a friend of mine explain it to me in a way that like you, you know the space that your baby took up right that baby's gone now, but you organs and I never knew this it's really creepy even say out loud organs and like your pelvic floor are not like secured in any way. They're just like they're they are where they are because they are being held by all the other organs. So they're just neatly In their place, but when your stomach is stretched out they can fall forward and your stomach muscles aren't strong enough to push them back. So your body sort of gets arrested in this new position with your organs falling forward. So if you can wear a belly wrap that sort of gets them back where they're supposed to be without your stomach muscles being responsible for that strength. It will allow your muscles to take the time they need but your body can get back a little bit faster and sometimes it also to me it felt really good to have a summer so poor you have been so poor loosey-goosey. Yeah, you're like me and a lot of times. If you have a C-section the hospital will absolutely give you their version of one that's good just for the first couple of days, but even if you don't you can even ask them to give you one and they'll do it's like a little belly. Yeah, it's just like I have one of the Amazon it's called belly band. It's okay. Let's move on to someone who would need a belly band for sure. It had four kids Kim Kardashian. Just they I was watching the show its back and they were talking about again in case you're listening for the first time. I don't watch any of that car. The instead he doesn't watch she's too cool to watch them. But yes, I go grocery shopping and then I'm stuck in line looking at the top exactly so I do watch them proudly. And yeah, they're the Kim and Kanye are having a fourth baby with a surrogate. Yes, and it feels like what if they're using the same Surah because I do remember that they paid the last surrogate I don't think the jury I got rich it's a different one and though they're doing a different because the the last one I think think I'm pretty sure for safety reasons to they're probably doing because it's really close together that I mean the babies. Oh, you're ready up here. And I think I heard them say it so forth. I mean a second surrogate why it's like I just talked to him yesterday. Yeah, we're on the phone and I was like Hey filming on the Deeds. I feel like there's so many I feel like for is like such a normal number back to my far. It's I know but I always thought we would have so I'm pregnant with our second. I always thought we'd have two or four, but for was kind of like if we lived in Texas and we had this big Ranch and I was like five years younger. But now I'm thinking mr. Ace gotta get snipped, but that's not why you came walking in today saying that like like a freakin Full Tilt and I'm like two weeks ago. You were like, yeah, we're getting him smash how its treated. Like honestly, I feel like 3:00 and 4:00 or definitely the new to out here everywhere. I can't do a middle child middle children under sorry. It is about there's no one has a buddy. Everyone needs to have a buddy there buddy disagree. I got someone's gonna get left out then or China. Increase Independence. I'm a middle child. I'm close with everyone of my I vote special relationship with my brother a really special relationship with my sister. I have a ton of friends. I feel really independent. Like it's great the age difference between everyone my sister and I are 18 months apart. My brother's five years younger see and it like it's sister and I are 17 months apart in the my brother and I are ten years. Oh, are you the most no, I'm the oldest but you feel like your sister has a complex. Okay, every male child. I've met except orally. Wow. I know what my to the my name is then comes down to Buddies the buddy system like what? Or travel I think that's more so it travels a oh my God. I meant like what some should you pull out in time or not? Like when people talk about it? I think. Oh, yeah, you know when I was younger big yeah, of course makes sense. And then you grow up and you realize how much money and all this stuff. It takes to like raise kids in LA and then you're like, okay, let's be realistic. He's also the emotional like capacity like I want somebody to want to get much attention date night with your kids. Are you doing it with three? Yeah, you know, yeah, I agree that these are all questions you but I want you to have three because I Sighs I don't obsess a baby's I cannot wait to smell this baby in my belly. But so in fact The New Normal is that the new normal like 3 vs. 2 4 vs. Smiley reason for getting overwhelmed with three is new car not about yeah a new continent a minivan. It's not about like attention and love and all that because I feel like sometimes we think our kids need a lot more from us than you do my thing, but they're independent beings living their own life. Like they don't need us all up in their shit all the time. And so to me, I'm like You know, I just I don't know how the thinking on how up in my baby. Yeah, let me hear up in her shit and you are going to be up in little or amazing shit in a gnarly way. But like I just me personally I am not that kind of mom and so I don't worry about that. I worry about logistics. I still want to be happy. I still want to be saying I still want to work. I still want to feel inspired by my work and enjoy my relationship. Enjoy my time at home. It's selfish. I want to continue to not how can I tell you that's not selfish? I think that's a great point that you know, yeah. I don't think Help me. I don't say selfish in a bad way. Like I mean, like you're my reason like you're part of their yeah, I feel unfinished and I want to add another member to the family, but I don't want to sacrifice anything. Yeah, I want to continue to live and be happy and they're like a light-hearted that uses up a great question about someone like Kim Kardashian who has the ability unlimited funds and resources. Like do you look at that and say, of course you'd have a fourth because you know, you can still live your life and get your hair and makeup done every day for five hours. Hours, I know I'm judging but like, you know a hundred percent and but they can still be all right beside you because you have a nanny is that you love and adore that your kids can travel with you like where are the kids when they're taping? Right? Like I mean, I know these are questions that people probably like who I'm sure that I'm sure there's full-time nannies. Although anyone who's ever had full-time help knows that that the word nanny is we need to come up with a new word. It's such a special bond a special relationship. It's like an ant it's not Nanny makes kissing sound. I hate saying that word when we had Anna I mean I Cried when we when we moved to a new house and she couldn't get to us and we had to put the kids in daycare. I was hysterical. I loved her so much kids love her. So I think yeah, they have these other people that helped raise their children that help allow them to do their work and have kids they're extra relationships their bonus relationships. I don't think that the kids are totally sacrificing anything as far as like quality time. But yeah someone like Kim anyone who's really wealthy has the ability to act on it. Say I want four kids. I don't have four kids because none of the big scary Three things are an issue. We're never going to not be able to have a safe house. We're never going to not have the food. We're never going to not give them the education. They want right anything that could freak you out term. I'm not an issue, right? It's a non-issue. So yeah for her, why wouldn't you do for now? She should do fucking 6. Yeah go for it. You know, it's like reading half crazy with Kanye. So I wish I had four kids see don't snip snap once you snip you can't done snap you can you can you can show what was the big thing that ultimately We made you say I just know we will get pregnant again if he doesn't. Yeah, like we and we why did you all of a sudden go from maybe four to nothing? Because the baby's coming in July like I felt so good the day after I had my last baby that like six weeks. We definitely were ready to like make love again. Yeah, but also just thinking about trips that were planning and our capacity. I mean, even the fact that we don't know the gender I keep thinking. Oh my gosh if this is a girl, yeah because that'll be like Millie's true besties, but also, Oh my God, like it. Could I love another little girl just as Mills like Mills is like our girl you will so now I'm like, are you sure it's not a boy because then I would go to experience. So we just I think we've just been we both in grabbing a boy, but I think we just are kind of like, I don't know I think have you feel like to use our number then see. Okay choose your number to your number. That's fine too is good. We'll see, you know, it was just such a combusting and literally like he's getting a vasectomy. Like hold on I think because if he doesn't we will have for you know, and I don't know if that's wise for us to something lighter. Yes, Sarah Silverman got her makeup done for the Emmys, right? She was there for I think her special which was on Hulu and you know, when you go to these award shows, you usually borrow a dress some people buy a dress most people borrow a dress from a showroom. They borrowed jewelry, but they have to get their hair and makeup done by a hair and a few artists, you know, usually it's going to be anywhere between 1500 to $10,000 depending on how gnarly your hair makeup artist has Sarah Silverman tweeted afterwards that she received a bill from Hulu to they wanted to be reimbursed for her hair and makeup. So they build her $1,500 for her hair and makeup. So it's like did they set up hair and makeup and she poppin? I don't know. I don't know how I don't know what the logistics they must have paid for it further paid $1500 in your Hulu or maybe like Sarah Silverman hired the makeup artist and then gave a makeup artist like her contact at Hulu. Voice and be like, oh just invoice bill at yada yada and they invoice and then Hulu was like, okay, we'll pay it but like BTW, I was crazy the fact that she put them on blast there has to be some bad blood like sometimes just happen because if she sent the email was like, hey, I got this must be a mistake or something and they didn't remedy it. I will say what is going on even though so she could have just used the opportunity to create some content, right? She could have just received a one email and then be like, oh this is funny as shit, and then just created some company coming. You know, I'm the person who used to do like her. And makeup all the time as a service. I think it's also brings to light that like this isn't only just a thing that happens with celebrities, you know, as far as how much money like 1500 dollars not a joke for everything every event. She's going to spending that much money, especially if it's coming straight out of her pocket, but like, you know, I have moms and Manhattan Beach, I that pay a good dollar to get their hair and makeup done for recitals and for this and for that so it's crazy. It's like that money is being spent hmm, but obviously with her being her position I would think that that would be covered by them as well. But what do you mean? I just think it's funny because it highlights it look forces us to look at the fact that like for Sarah Silverman to be able to show up at the Emmys right looking the way you would expect her it cost $1,500. So like for all of us that look at these photos and then look in the US Weekly and see all the like best dress and the makeup trends and the this and the that and feel insecure about doing her own makeup in the morning like $1500 later on the low and like I was I'd love to look normal. Yes, right. So it's like a good reminder and I think they don't normally no one really talks about that because in a weird way of kind of embarrassing like yeah, I took me five hours and five grand to look like this. I mean people want to act like they look like it normally so I like that she did it. If only for the fact that aren't just doing it for free. Well, you see we are going to talk about me. I know you don't want any of this stuff. Do you watch The Real Housewives of reality show? Okay, Blondie that's married to the 80 year old on. Oh Yes, she I mean she traveled to Hong Kong with a fool. Yeah and our director right? I'm like crazy things. I was like we're having a good time and by the pool, you know, what her philosophy is almost like you want to embrace it. It's kind of like why not like we have more knowledge. I have the resources like yeah, I will spend $50,000 a pop to make this happen like damn girl. Yeah, and I don't know. I mean would you guys do that if you had this when I was at E8 if we had an event to go to you. You they would give you like this is what the budget is for your wardrobe. This is what the budget is for your hair and makeup. Let us know the names will coordinate and it was definitely all covered. But and I think that it would be normally for anything whether you're doing your best for Anna. You know, when when I did press for the fabulous Kristen and I each had our own hair and makeup and that was obviously covered because we were the same price for the show if you're kind of on your own you're on your own but I think that usually it's always covered when I worked at my last Studio same thing. I would tell them what artist I want they would Around the budget or they'd negotiate with the artist if I hired so myself I would send in my reimbursements if I work with a brand we talk about it beforehand. Are they paying for her makeup or am I paying getting reimbursed? Yeah, and is there a budget attached to that right? So do you think she should be paying the bill or do we think pollution? What's also cool is he she has enough money. So she also could have just paid it and been like whatever. I feel like Sarah Silverman's got nothing. That would be like, I'm good. I can put on some mascara you have sick. Yeah. Yeah, but you gotta think for me doing this article or this this news blip comes. Down to is it okay to blast a company that you work for like like I just want to know I mean, did you send an email or like think you can Sarah Silverman can because she's a comedian. You know what you're getting. You don't even like oh my God, I think I didn't hesitate anyone looking. I think I could if I worked for, you know such but you could potentially damage your relationship with another brand but like by doing that where I feel like, you know, they're wild cars they're Canadian. They're pretty nuts Sarah Silverman. So, you know, there's snarky they talk shit about everybody like that's like that's like that's like being told like that you're having you're going to a host a dinner and then all of a sudden it's like you have a big here's the other like yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know, thanks for coming. Oh, okay. Just kidding. If I knew that I would have eaten McDonald's before it came right then. Well, anyways, I think I think it's interesting how much we all spend I mean and also I work in Beauty, right? So I feel like I would buy all of that stuff on my own. You know and or I wouldn't buy all that stuff on my own if I actually had it now because it's just so much more but speaking of that. Yeah, that's perfect. I think we want to talk a little bit about beauty in general and like I had a question for you. You're like, let's just put it on the freaking pot. Yeah. So I feel like now that I'm getting older. I'm the cookie person who's buying all the products. Yeah. I have all the pillars the serums the creams the lotions next the toners you name it. I got it and I have no idea how I should be applying it if I'm even doing it in the right order because I know Like a big thing is the order. So yeah, there's a method to the madness dance, please. Yeah so Stones there is a method to the madness and I think especially like you're saying the older we get it's more important that we pay attention to because we are spending more like Fifty to a hundred upwards the product and the reality is if you are going to be layering a certain product over another it may not be getting its full, you know, efficacy which we want to make sure it is so the general rule is you want to go thinnest to thickest. Okay, so you don't want to put your serum on after your moisturizer because the moisturizers creating a barrier to your skin. So the serum is not going to penetrate, you know further in deep into your skin. So the way you want to think about it is you're always going to be using a cleanser and then a toner and toners interesting because toner especially as we get older I think is really important to oh my gosh, the last two Expeditions I saw they were like, whatever you do you've the tone and I think why and they were even like use the witch hazel and no alcohol right? There were like toner yummy like you can use My twenties I used witch hazel all the time. Now. What are you doing? So I'm Googling. There's a few that are fantastic. But here's a reason why you want to use toner. So in the beginning like 15 20 years ago, I think when we were growing up, they had a lot of alcohol in them. So they would strip your natural skin of oils and so we didn't want to use them but now they're actually helping your skin deliver the next upper products better do it. Does that make sense? So like it's something that it's a next step after cleanser that you use to do a couple of things. It's helping bring your pH back in your skin like balancing it out. So it's fantastic for that. And then it's also delivering a lot of other things like antioxidants things that your skin really needs to just help penetrate the other stuff better too. So, is there something we should look for in our toner? Well, I for instance I love obviously you want to look for no alcohol. Okay, so I'll call free alcohol free. I love a few like there's some great drugstore all options to like there's this one by Pixi beauty that I'm loving right now because it's a vitamin C toner. So you're kind of getting to on one because vitamin C is also really important ingredient lightning right? It's brightening. It's an antioxidant. It helps fight free radicals which are in UVA UVB rays. So it's all that stuff but then it's a toner so you're actually putting it on and another thing. I always tell people is so toner can also be something that helps get rid of any residual makeup that was left on from your cleanser that didn't get off their talk about like you can literally get a cotton swab or something swab your face or not. Yeah. I've heard a little bit of both where you don't want to use toner to get rid of any other makeup because really your cleanser should be doing yes. I don't know who I don't have that like 15 minutes to really like. No, I also Eight makeup wipes out. Yeah, we're talking about that right now really bad. Fine. Yeah, it also like yeah get your drugstore cleanser on you know, if you're good with it like and then spend the money on like the toner so then so you're going to go cleanser? Okay toner a serum. Okay. So you want your serum right? I'm writing this down and if you want I skip this product, but you can do an Essence. That's a whole nother. We'll go into that later because lessons like my rose water spray know your essence an Essence is a little different than a toner because in essence is basically again, it's really getting faster. I know it's That the essence is something that you Pat onto your skin. Okay, and it's going to really help prepare your skin for the rest of the products that are going on. I know it sounds sooner does OK and there are requests. He's the way you want to do. It is toner helps pH balance and it just gets caught in order. Okay, then the other one is almost like the essence is like a primer for the rest of the products. Got it. Okay, so, you know primer for skincare. Yeah, that's how I liked it. But that's how I like to think about it. Okay, and then so then you want to do your serums and so that's why I was saying you can if you have like an Acid serum. That's when you want to put that on. So your Serum is your first almost your first line of defense when your skin is ready. We're talking at evening, right? No, this is morning. Oh, yeah, good morning. So basically only do that kind of stuff. Let me put it out. Basically, it's cleanser toner serum. Then this is where it was about the essence. Well, I mean I sent this is no action is optional and then you're going to do like a moisturizer and your SPF and modify or two in one then you can do that for me as I get older. There's no no I do. SPF separately you just want to do it because you wanted to enlist Riser your go-to. So I have a few because I have really dry skin. So my current one that I love is the Peter Thomas Roth It's called a Hydra it's hydrogel or something like that. But then Neutrogena has one two, that's really good. That's their hydraboost line. I love doing though, you know high-end and low-end run honest Beauty has some amazing ones that are coming out too. So those are the ones I really like and then I love when they're to and ones, you know, like I like when something already has vitamin C and it also, you know that stuff but for a moisturizer and SPF I my SPF I always you always want to stick with something that SPF 30 minimum SPF 30 and always use it all over your face and your neck and then my best friend is a dermatologist always told me she doesn't care use SPF use your SPF, even though it's a little thicker than your moisturizer use it before because it's the first thing that's penetrating into your skin. That's a thick. Yep, and some people for moisturizer, you know, some people kind of what is your go-to SPF. So there's two that I really like I love the supergroup Unseen side street and good. It's transparent especially for women of color. You are not going to get a gray overcast. You have to bury Brown residue that because if you use the white you look purple. Yeah, and then I love the Kula SPF 30 makeup setting spray. So what it is is I keep it in my like when I go on vacation or it's summertime. I keep that in my purse and that is the best way to reapply your sunscreen. So it's a spray with SPF so you don't have to worry if you're wearing makeup or your onset or you're doing whatever you're at an outdoor wedding and you're like shit, how do I put on my sunscreen? You just spray it on and that's really Yeah, so those are gokula Kula Co l a-- i GQ B. I did QVC training with the founder of oh my God, I did are genius. I love them. It's smart. It's really smart. So those are that's basically the general rule, you know, just really think about it then it's typically yeah, whatever can penetrate first is going to call that's right. And then at night the only thing you want to think about that you want to enter change a little bit or add is that's when you can use like your retinol because retinol you do not accept me because I got next so when you're pregnant no remedies and no salicylic acid is what else besides brandy brandy the hooch. My husband's always like to realize every time you or go out in public pregnant. All the guys are like, yep. She puts out. I'm like, you're such a jerk. They don't think that he's like, yep every guy thinks that every guy's just looking at you like yeah. She took it like you're such a bastard. Looking at that pony and imagine. I'm like, I love it. I feel violated. No one's even looking at you. Yeah, they're staring. I love it. Like I do feel very sexy, but I'm pregnant though. It's like me because your midsection supposed to be big they were just trying to like this is what I've got curves. All right. So let's go through a quick. I'd like to talk about some of our finds things were questioning on Yeah, couple products. These are things that we have no affiliation to we just want to share the goodness. Yeah, I'm gonna To I'm going to go with this thing called Avon Skin So Soft. Oh my gosh. I'm waiting memories. Yes, so I knew nothing. I know nothing about Avon except for the fact that apparently this Skin So Soft Stuff is the ultimate combatant to bug bite. Yes mosquito repellent and I did not know this and I get attacked. It's right around attacked and it's right around this time of year and we're out by the pool all the time and sometimes the Mesquite will like I don't ever remember having I was like in this I grew up out here in this area. But I swear I get a tattoo point that I've got like 15 or 20 all over my legs and they become welts and then they like almost Scar and I've got to wear body makeup. It's crazy. So I put something on Instagram last year at I got like five or six people that were like, oh my God, you need Avon Skin So Soft so I bought it. I had to buy it online. I just thought I could get it at a market not realize he was able. Yeah, and I bought it and I view I use it all the time with this like a body oil so it is strong and smell. So if you're sensitive to smell another people recommended is the Bliss like orange orange scented body lotion because I guess like insects really hate anything like citrus smelling which is like citronella candles or thing. So and I guess if not, if you don't like it if this if the smell is too strong, then you can do like that the Bliss orange scented body lotion, but something with that in it, but if you're like me and you get it, it's fantastic. So well, so someone also told me when I went to Africa so freaking out I brought that it works. So it's almost like it. I don't like the barrier. Only that mosquitoes won't even be able to get you seriously. But oh, I'm so glad you found the face too early buddy. I probably wouldn't put it on my yeah just come easily, but you really hated all over it's like a body oil like on it. You have to pour it out very gently. Yes. It sounds good. Yeah, it's really it's it's really good though. Oh, okay cool. So not my thing that I'm crushing on right now. Actually Millie's crushing on it is I got her her own kitchen knives. So Millie is 21 months old and ever since she was Was Tiny like I think even at 11 months, we got hurt our literature Scioscia. Just choose, you know, teetering tottering as a toddler. My husband made her this awesome little like stool so she can stand up at the counter and practice transfer work, which is like taking one blueberry to another Bowl. We do a lot of cool Montessori activities, and then she also just helps me in the kitchen. So I decided that she was ready to start learning how to chop. And so the first thing we did was we got those little crinkle cutter Chopper. Seen that before but it's just like a wiggly kitchen gadget that you can make like curvy cucumbers or something. The only thing about that is a lot of the ones I saw are the only ones I saw or stainless steel. So that's still kind of a hazard for a baby again. She just turned 21 months. So I got these plastic kitchen knives. They're safe for kids. Obviously. I'm always monitoring her but they're colorful and she has her own little drawer for them. You always see the yeah, and so she can practice with Mom and again like a lot of Times I'll even hold her hand or left hand so she can hold the cucumber. And here's the thing like it's not like she's my sous chef in the kitchen yet. But if we're waiting for water to boil, like I show her that she can totally help me and then once she's done I take the knives away and then we practice, you know, I do painting it and I love doing it. They're really easy. They're 10 bucks online is teaching her sad about you know, and there they work. I mean their knives that I could still use to cut with but I'm gonna get those two mic so I know I need them. Setting spray it in my car to its Summit. All right post to be us spending money right now. Okay. So, um, you're mine, which I just forgot about what it was. Oh get it together together lady. Is it it wasn't it? Yeah, it was a beauty one. And then I had an hour looking kinda side note Brandy. Are you going to be the kind of mom that like says that to my love? My little one that we got to your low that Millie's like thirty nine months. Like are you going no? No, I hate to no. I'm not okay. I literally suck at math. I would never be that much because I can't add she's 56 months. That doesn't do that until they're too though until you again until there too. Okay? Okay. Yeah, so really quick. I love that bed for months were feeling proud that is linked to high school. I'm going to share with you guys. That is actually really funny. I'm going to share with you guys a find off Amazon that I think is perfect for summer and it's a straw bag. That is so cute. I took it all with me in Hawaii is it? Round one. Yeah, I guess I won and I feel so on Trend but it's like such an old friend but I just got my God that ain't no but it's so cute and it's under 20 bucks. It's like 25 bucks. It's the cutest one and I was able to keep like wipes in there and everything for the kids my sunglasses and great part about it is you not taking like a nice designer bag on vacation or we drop the summer when you're on the pool and all that stuff. So we're just like a bulky beach bag. Yes, exactly because the thing is to the bigger. The bag is the more I'm going to stuff in their course and I was able to put so much in there the bag the bigger the hoarder, right?

1) Chrissy Teigen talks openly about her "new" body and it's got us thinking... Should we strive to get back to our pre-baby body or embrace all the changes and settle into the "new us" ? 2) Kim K is having baby # 4 and it got us wondering, how does the average Joe and Jane manage it!? She can afford all the help she needs or wants... but wtf about us!? 3) Sarah Silverman put Hulu on blast when they charged her $1500 for her Emmy's Glam. Just a healthy reminder that it costs THOUSANDS of dollars to look like they do on the red carpet...so chill with your personal expectations.
