How would I say that?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah? Almost marry almost happy, happy, almost Mary Christmas.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I say the happy from the end of the Part
one is what got me. So go make sure you
listen to part one this week with A. 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 and Morgan and Amy Best Bits. That's
from Jessica and Saint Louis. I really look up to
Amy watching her all these years. It's moving. She's amazing. Amy,
(00:38):
You're my favorite and so hilarious on the show. That's
from Steph in Ohio. Thanks guys, a little fun vibes
to get everything started. Okay, starting with the first question,
do all of the kids get along? Adopted Anne Bonus
Roses from.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Massachusetts, so my boyfriend's kids.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So she's referring to everybody gets along all good in
the Yeah. I mean we're not always together, but when
we are, everybody gets along.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Have you had a lot of moments of I mean
just blended the movie.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I don't know if you ever saw that.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Is there any kids that are similar in age?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, yeah, yes, to share. The daughters are, and they're
all closed. I mean they're all thirteen to eighteen.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Okay, so yeah, really close in age. I feel like
that helps. It makes it a little bit more relatable
to each other versus like big gaps in age.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, and we're not forcing like y'all have to have
this amazing friendship, Like we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's just chill. But it was cool to see.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
We didn't force a lot on 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.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's fun.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, and that's good because 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.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, Like she wanted to get ready at her dad's
hotel room. Great, she wants to come to where we were.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Great.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
All fun advice for a mom taking her daughter to
jiu jitsu? What am I getting into? That's from Chris Well.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Stevenson did jiu jitsu for a while and he loved it. Now,
the rolling around on the floor always gross me out.
So you just got to be ready for the smells,
like I feel like.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Experience jiu jitsu.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
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 did like always smell that.
Maybe it was the summer months, like the people were
taking off their shoes and then putting their feet on
the mat. Like listen, if if it was up to
me and I ran a jiu jitsu place, I'd be like, Okay,
(02:53):
take your shoes off, and now we're going to 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.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's probably more that it's just as it smells like me.
But it's probably a bunch of body odor from sweating
and you're rolling around, resting.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
At each other.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, there's a lot happening, so when it's muggy. Okay,
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, would I was I going
to be doing that?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Nope? Did you have to worry about a lot of injuries?
Do you ever have like bloody noses or nothing like that?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
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 was allowed to
go back and take some more jiu jitsu. Like he
really liked it for a while. He was going every
single day. Okay, this could be really good.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I feel like I wish I would have gotten involved
in jiu jitsu or boxing when I was young.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I feel like that could have been really good for me.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
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 movies.
You have to anticipate. 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.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well, and as a girl like having some firm 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.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, I would think.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Did you get to meet Brookshields when filming Holiday Harmony?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That's did not she 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
(04:44):
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 uh, we don't have another day.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Wait, So does that give you a perspective when you're
watching something and you're like, I feel like I seen
got moved here and it didn't get added in because
they didn't have enough time.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
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 going to say
because we were no longer shooting the scene where I
was going to walk outside. It was actually a scene
(05:23):
where I was supposed to be getting into a car,
like a black suburban while I'm on the phone with
Ryan Seacrest. What an interesting yeah, because Ciciny was in
the movie with me, and that's Ryan's co host.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah okay, and it.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Was an iHeart Christmas Eve special, So to be on
the phone with Ryan made sense. Got it still still
not quite following, Yeah, but Ryan was really gonna be
on the line.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
We were just gonna be like, oh okay, yeah, Ryan,
you're gonna be on.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
One of those we'll talk to you later where you
see their phone and it's like that it's not on
a phone call I 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.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
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, but nothing that was
just talk. I guess I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
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.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I haven't seen a second one.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, so that would be wamp like, oh, yeah, we're
doing this again, which I see they could take at
a totally different angle. And maybe they don't have iHeart
involved because that's the only reason why I was in it.
But yeah, they could make a holiday harmony too.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But they liked you, and I remember you saying that.
They were like, well, if we do another one, like,
we'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yes, or we'll keep you in mind for something else.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
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 where on.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh my gosh. That is like the same kind of
feeling when I don't know if you 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 artists and they'll think that I'm cool and I
don't listen to them and they might talk to me
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh, I never thought that you never did.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
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 they'd pay attention to you.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
However, your way was to get them to notice you.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's funny, Yeah, but I could see the thought behind it.
I just never had that experience.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's that same feeling you're talking about it, where you're like.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't know that I ever had seats close enough
to where they could see me, So would it matter.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I don't think I did either, But you know what,
I still just see that my seat in twenty thousand
and B was gonna be seen and something was gonna happen.
So don't ask me why, but that reminded me of
that the whole thing online ibrowt update. Did you get
the micro related what's happening? Thanks Karen in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
They are not micro related.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I still have one more laser appointment actually next Thursday
on the eighteenth, or finally, so.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I mean they're going off again.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, well, so we've had to do it in phases.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So there was.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
They were brown because I had microbladed, and the ink
was brown to match my hairish ish because I have
blonde tilights. 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,
(08:33):
like the colors to make the brown, it clearly had
red undertones, so then you have to get rid of
the undertones. So there was the brown, then 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
(08:53):
can see yellow eyebrows, like yellow skin.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is this trying to revert them back to their original color?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yes, the the ink, it's almost like if you've 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.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No no no ink or no also no.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Hair, no ink.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I have hair, okay, see I have hair, my hair,
so I know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's why I was like, those look really real.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, so my hair has been growing it back.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Now it'll probably.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Singe some of the hairs and it turns them white.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Okay, so that sucks.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
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.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Okay, I was gonna say, you're not like dyeing them
again because you just went through all of this no dying.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You can dye your hair. What I had done was
permanent makeup like tattoo. Microblading is like tattoo. Okay, 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.
(10:23):
That's temporary, that will come and go. It's the microblading
that's very permanent. Now will I get them microbladed again?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Maybe they've made some advancements now. I first got microblading
or permanent makeup or whatever like in my twenties, so
that was like twenty years of touchups that was being
layered on.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Top of each other. Yeah, so that's probably why the
undoing has been so so drastic.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Has been your Year of the eyebrow?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, So I will say I was using this growth
serum and I think that that's been helping or Abay
is that the brand or you know, orbe the I
think they have a scal Google ORBA Lash and brows
serum or maybe just brow serum. I got it on
sale on Amazon. I will say it's pricey, but it
(11:15):
lasted me months and I got it on sale.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Like Orba like O r ib Obaji maybe okay, I
see Obaji Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Sorry, Orba is shampoo and stuff, but Obaji is a
skincare line. Does you have Obaji eyebrowjel or serum.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Ye obajie lash and brow serum set?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Okay, Well that's a set I don't get on for
my lashes.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But you could get the Boosteam's serum.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
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 glad we've
got the name pulled up because I.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would have been like googling Oriba.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
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.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, at least you know that they will grow fast.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Now I know they will come back, and now I
know just trust the brows.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm in trying to get them to grow no more
following trends when they happen.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Well, yeah, but I was in my twenty like you're thinking.
I mean it was permanent makeup when I first got
it done in my twenties, 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 browse.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Twenty twenty six will be the year of new Amy.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
With her brows.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yea. Hopefully no more laser treatments on my brows.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I'll take a quick break, we'll bear it back. Michelle
in Texas wants to know what's on your Christmas list
for yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Gosh, I have one thing that I gave my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's a necklace. Okay, from where is it? Oh? Is
it like a really pretty necklace. It's it's like gold beads.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Like?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What's the brand? Image? Is it? Imma J? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Man, it might be Imma J. Nope, that's definitely not it.
I just clicked on imag 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.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Did you get that?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
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 that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And then sent it to him, Sue.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And that's it. I was the one and only option.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
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.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I Yeah about you get to a point in your
life where you just if you want something, you go
get it, especially as an adult.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah you know what I mean. Like, like that's kind
of where I am ish because.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Like the things that I gave my parents who wanted something.
I have a hot yoga mat because I are a
towel for that because I just don't want to have
to keep watching.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
The one that I have.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
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.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
To like hold o cute. Yeah, that and that's all
I have. Oh there I did.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
My boyfriend's sister was asking me 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
twelve dollars, but they're decorative and I the little.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Jars like you keep them in a little jar with water.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No, they're like the size of a tennis ball. And
they go in a bowl like for my dining room table.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh they're not real.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No, Well, I don't know if it's like dead moss
that's turned they paint green.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
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. 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 of it.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh cute, And.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
They're cute little plants. And that's the only plant I've
been able to keep alive. So that's what you reminded
me of when Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You don't need water for these, but they're just you know,
have you seen them?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Like I think I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's just I don't know. My sister told me I
needed to add some green to my table. It's 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. Oh no, well,
why wasn't he put in charge of keeping them all?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I was, But it's more just me in my house.
I'm telling you, if you bring in a living thing
that's a plant into my house, it will not survive.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't think my house has enough sunlight indirect or
direct sunlight.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Oh so they just weren't in the right spot to thrive.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well, we put them outside and they started thriving, but
then as soon as the winter hit they were gone.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
This is Morgan's specialty. Sorry, Okay, yeah, have you been to.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Any You go to any like Christmas pop ups?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Really, It's 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 cider and hot chalk 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 our Geist
Tailgate Brewery in Germantown. They have like a German one.
(17:12):
Geist is always decorated so insanely well. Sunny's has a
bunch of stuff up in Christmas cocktails you can drink.
Play Date is also cool when they have a cool
slide in the back. But everything's like ornaments are everywhere,
Tinsel and then pushing Point Settus, which is actually pushing daisies.
It's an underground margarita bar, but they decorated it all
out for.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Christmas, turn it into pushing point set us.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh cute, and then what are the other ones?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Also, gay Lord, you should walk around for sure. And
Franklin is amazing separated for town Franklin. Yeah, we're going
down there when my boyfriend's mom gets in town because
they have a toasted.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Hot chocolate that I really want to try.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I've been seen it, of course all over social media,
but Franklin is really pretty just in general to walk around.
So I when I get a little toasted hot chocolate
and pretend I'm in a Hallmark movie love it my
favorite way to celebrate Christmas. And then there's Cheekwood that's
really cool. And Scooba actually turned me onto this one
Zip cafe. They do a hot chocolate from around the world,
so it's pretty fun. There's six or eight different hot
(18:15):
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 five Amazon gifts to give
right now? Renee from Iowa and I don't know if
we have top five, but well, I.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
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 wanted 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
(18:59):
amber colored light so it won't disrupt their circadian rhythm.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
That you can turn all.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
The lights off and then 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.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And it's twelve.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Dollars and it's a cute little I love a warm light.
I'm telling you that's why I love Christmas so much.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I love warm, warm lights.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
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 dyer balls, or you
can google the animal dryer balls.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And there's some brands that make.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
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
(20:02):
a cute little gift.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I don't think I've ever used dryer balls before.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I had to when I had that rash from my chest.
It was like over a year ago. I had this rash.
I couldn't get rid of it, and my dermatologists 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 plane for free detergent, okay, which
(20:28):
I used to be obsessed with this mango coconut or
something like detergent that I had.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It was so good.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
But now I've got plain unscented all and then I've
got my cute dryer balls. Though maybe that's why my
dry balls make me so happy now with my Vanilla
Essential oil.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
What did dry balls do?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I know what don't dryer sheets like help with the
static and stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, I still feel like my clothes are still a
little steticky, So I don't really know it just like
separates things, helps things like dry faster.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Because I've never used dry sheets or anything. I just
full raw dog though.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh really wow.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well, because dryer sheets I read about how like if
a dog ends up getting one of their 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.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
So do you use fabric softener?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Oh see, I don't use that anymore either because that
got taken away from me by my dermatologists as well.
So I use vinegar. Vinegar supposed to help soften the clothes.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So I feel like, but then when you smell like vinegar, No,
you don't. Vinegar is like a really I know, but
it doesn't you try? You don't you put like just
a little bit in.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
How do you put it though?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
In? Like do you dump it on the clothes?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I just dump it in the where the fabric softener
would go, Like I 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
(21:59):
rinses out. It doesn't smell like vinegar. Okay, all right,
I'm trusting, but I feel like it's.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Helped with odor.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And then my final so this would be the third
one that I think is just a cute gift. And
Grayson Stella is the brand, and they have really cute
underhige patches. Like the packaging is just cute. They have
different kinds. It doesn't matter which one you get. They're
all going to be gray. There's like pink, purple green.
They all have different things they do like deep puffing
or hydrating or just pick one because the packaging is cute.
(22:26):
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 is like a little treat.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I like that their packaging is cute. I do have
a few of them that people have given me as gift. Yeah,
and I'll pull them out just because they are cute. Yes, yeah,
because when you put on your eyes they still have cute.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
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 bright gold, kind of
even ugly gold. They're not even that cool looking. But
the grays and stellones are just cute. So that's why
it's like, if you're giving it as a gift, go cute.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, it's more fun that way too. Okay, So mine,
I have a few, like, uh, 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 soape dispenser. Did
you even know these existed? Because I didn't up until.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
A lot of five.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I've seen them in like public restrooms.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, not like that kind like you know how you
have a little like soap that comes in a bottle
and then you put in a key little thing. Yeah
that's decorative, but this is like a decorative one, but
you just like put your hand under it and it automatically
dispends the 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. Yeah, now that I have it,
(23:43):
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, and it's
been my favorite. So I got a little glass simmerpot
so I could see it's.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
H oo a glass simmerpot. That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, And I was really scared that I thought I
was gonna 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
gonna butcher the name of this, but it's borcel it
or I don't know. It's a type of glass that
it's made out of. So so you're good, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Shouldn't bust open on you. But I love is that
from Amazon.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, okay, I found that on Amazon, a little gassimmer
pot 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 Ivy has.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
A hot chocolate flavor, Oh yum.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
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 stuck at drinking water,
that's the collective unit. So Liquid Ivy hot chocolate and
then also animal face ornaments are super cute. You can
do find all kinds. So the one I ordered from
(25:01):
is not from Arimazon Amazon, It's not from Amazon. It's
from Perky Prints. 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, seeing them
an ornament it's on their tree or driable or that
is also an animal. And then the last one is
a game. We play this every time my family's in town.
(25:22):
We play it every Christmas, Thanksgiving. It's called Monopoly deal.
Have you ever played this? Have you ever played Monopoly?
I'm assuming yes. 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
(25:45):
one has created.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
A lot of fun in our family.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
So Kat the coast of my podcast, or her birthday
was early in the summer, 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
(26:08):
some of their favorite spots, or they love espresso martini,
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
they open it up and they played around to Vanopley
(26:30):
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.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I didn't either, and I love that idea. I might
steal that idea.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, isn't it good?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, especially people who play games. That's awesome. Okay, And
on something super cute really quick. What is your favorite
memory with your men so far in your relationships? Haley
in Wisconsin.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
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.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
We went to.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
This what's it called Canyon Ranch, I think on the
East Coast.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And this is when you stop launched your relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I remember that, but I saw 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.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I was like okay, So I was like.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Hey, you want to go to Canyon Ranch? And he
was like, oh, I'd love to 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 forty eight hours, but it's still awesome, and
uh I that picture popped up and I was like,
(27:44):
I'm going to put this is 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 envirol and how they
are and so that that is a favorite memory is
(28:04):
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
in a good time. And yeah, we had to finagle
some things to make it happen between his kids and
mine and that's probably in work. So yeah, we were
there less than forty eight hours. When she was saying, hey,
y'all go for four days if you can, I was like, shoot,
(28:26):
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.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
So that's a fairly good.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
For connecting in a relationship. Those kind of trips are perfect.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, even if we did something like you were just
naming all the different things to do in town, like
we did like a staycation, but we just went out
and treated Nashville like it was like we're visiting, like
because 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
(28:59):
they do. They act like they're on vacation all the
time in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
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
(29:25):
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
an organizational side and do all these things, and it
ended up just being one of my favorite memories. So
we're both nerds. We love to like both geek out
(29:47):
and have a fun time, and that's where our like
Harry Potter opsession became together and we're like, oh, we
both love this is we do this a million times over.
So that that was a really cool memory or the
one that he planned, those are the kind of two
ones that come to mine for my birthday trip. You
probably feel the same way about Charleston trip that he
planted for you.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
For sure, that is a good memory. Yes, I hadn't.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I guess that one was top of mine 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 stink and cute.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Well, and that's like when he's surprised me with the
trip in the mountains and we're in this like cute
little cabin. I da'mon know existed. Yeah, the surprises. We
love being surprised. Okay, we're jumping out of here because
I've kept Amy way too long. She has lots to do,
so go listen to Amy's podcast Feeling Things.

(00:38):
You're my favorite and so hilarious on the show. That's
from Steph in Ohio. Thanks guys, a little fun vibes
to get everything started. Okay, starting with the first question,
do all of the kids get along? Adopted Anne Bonus
Roses from.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Massachusetts, so my boyfriend's kids.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So she's referring to everybody gets along all good in
the Yeah. I mean we're not always together, but when
we are, everybody gets along.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Have you had a lot of moments of I mean
just blended the movie.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I don't know if you ever saw that.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Is there any kids that are similar in age?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, yeah, yes, to share. The daughters are, and they're
all closed. I mean they're all thirteen to eighteen.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Okay, so yeah, really close in age. I feel like
that helps. It makes it a little bit more relatable
to each other versus like big gaps in age.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, and we're not forcing like y'all have to have
this amazing friendship, Like we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's just chill. But it was cool to see.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
We didn't force a lot on 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.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's fun.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, and that's good because 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.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, Like she wanted to get ready at her dad's
hotel room. Great, she wants to come to where we were.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Great.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
All fun advice for a mom taking her daughter to
jiu jitsu? What am I getting into? That's from Chris Well.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Stevenson did jiu jitsu for a while and he loved it. Now,
the rolling around on the floor always gross me out.
So you just got to be ready for the smells,
like I feel like.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Experience jiu jitsu.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
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 did like always smell that.
Maybe it was the summer months, like the people were
taking off their shoes and then putting their feet on
the mat. Like listen, if if it was up to
me and I ran a jiu jitsu place, I'd be like, Okay,
(02:53):
take your shoes off, and now we're going to 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.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's probably more that it's just as it smells like me.
But it's probably a bunch of body odor from sweating
and you're rolling around, resting.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
At each other.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, there's a lot happening, so when it's muggy. Okay,
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, would I was I going
to be doing that?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Nope? Did you have to worry about a lot of injuries?
Do you ever have like bloody noses or nothing like that?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
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 was allowed to
go back and take some more jiu jitsu. Like he
really liked it for a while. He was going every
single day. Okay, this could be really good.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I feel like I wish I would have gotten involved
in jiu jitsu or boxing when I was young.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I feel like that could have been really good for me.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
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 movies.
You have to anticipate. 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.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well, and as a girl like having some firm 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.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, I would think.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Did you get to meet Brookshields when filming Holiday Harmony?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That's did not she 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
(04:44):
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 uh, we don't have another day.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Wait, So does that give you a perspective when you're
watching something and you're like, I feel like I seen
got moved here and it didn't get added in because
they didn't have enough time.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
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 going to say
because we were no longer shooting the scene where I
was going to walk outside. It was actually a scene
(05:23):
where I was supposed to be getting into a car,
like a black suburban while I'm on the phone with
Ryan Seacrest. What an interesting yeah, because Ciciny was in
the movie with me, and that's Ryan's co host.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah okay, and it.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Was an iHeart Christmas Eve special, So to be on
the phone with Ryan made sense. Got it still still
not quite following, Yeah, but Ryan was really gonna be
on the line.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
We were just gonna be like, oh okay, yeah, Ryan,
you're gonna be on.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
One of those we'll talk to you later where you
see their phone and it's like that it's not on
a phone call I 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.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
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, but nothing that was
just talk. I guess I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
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.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I haven't seen a second one.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, so that would be wamp like, oh, yeah, we're
doing this again, which I see they could take at
a totally different angle. And maybe they don't have iHeart
involved because that's the only reason why I was in it.
But yeah, they could make a holiday harmony too.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But they liked you, and I remember you saying that.
They were like, well, if we do another one, like,
we'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yes, or we'll keep you in mind for something else.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
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 where on.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh my gosh. That is like the same kind of
feeling when I don't know if you 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 artists and they'll think that I'm cool and I
don't listen to them and they might talk to me
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh, I never thought that you never did.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
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 they'd pay attention to you.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
However, your way was to get them to notice you.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's funny, Yeah, but I could see the thought behind it.
I just never had that experience.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's that same feeling you're talking about it, where you're like.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't know that I ever had seats close enough
to where they could see me, So would it matter.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I don't think I did either, But you know what,
I still just see that my seat in twenty thousand
and B was gonna be seen and something was gonna happen.
So don't ask me why, but that reminded me of
that the whole thing online ibrowt update. Did you get
the micro related what's happening? Thanks Karen in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
They are not micro related.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I still have one more laser appointment actually next Thursday
on the eighteenth, or finally, so.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I mean they're going off again.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, well, so we've had to do it in phases.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So there was.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
They were brown because I had microbladed, and the ink
was brown to match my hairish ish because I have
blonde tilights. 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,
(08:33):
like the colors to make the brown, it clearly had
red undertones, so then you have to get rid of
the undertones. So there was the brown, then 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
(08:53):
can see yellow eyebrows, like yellow skin.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is this trying to revert them back to their original color?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yes, the the ink, it's almost like if you've 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.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No no no ink or no also no.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Hair, no ink.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I have hair, okay, see I have hair, my hair,
so I know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's why I was like, those look really real.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, so my hair has been growing it back.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Now it'll probably.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Singe some of the hairs and it turns them white.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Okay, so that sucks.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
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.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Okay, I was gonna say, you're not like dyeing them
again because you just went through all of this no dying.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You can dye your hair. What I had done was
permanent makeup like tattoo. Microblading is like tattoo. Okay, 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.
(10:23):
That's temporary, that will come and go. It's the microblading
that's very permanent. Now will I get them microbladed again?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Maybe they've made some advancements now. I first got microblading
or permanent makeup or whatever like in my twenties, so
that was like twenty years of touchups that was being
layered on.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Top of each other. Yeah, so that's probably why the
undoing has been so so drastic.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Has been your Year of the eyebrow?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, So I will say I was using this growth
serum and I think that that's been helping or Abay
is that the brand or you know, orbe the I
think they have a scal Google ORBA Lash and brows
serum or maybe just brow serum. I got it on
sale on Amazon. I will say it's pricey, but it
(11:15):
lasted me months and I got it on sale.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Like Orba like O r ib Obaji maybe okay, I
see Obaji Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Sorry, Orba is shampoo and stuff, but Obaji is a
skincare line. Does you have Obaji eyebrowjel or serum.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Ye obajie lash and brow serum set?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Okay, Well that's a set I don't get on for
my lashes.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But you could get the Boosteam's serum.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
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 glad we've
got the name pulled up because I.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would have been like googling Oriba.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
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.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, at least you know that they will grow fast.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Now I know they will come back, and now I
know just trust the brows.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm in trying to get them to grow no more
following trends when they happen.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Well, yeah, but I was in my twenty like you're thinking.
I mean it was permanent makeup when I first got
it done in my twenties, 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 browse.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Twenty twenty six will be the year of new Amy.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
With her brows.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yea. Hopefully no more laser treatments on my brows.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I'll take a quick break, we'll bear it back. Michelle
in Texas wants to know what's on your Christmas list
for yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Gosh, I have one thing that I gave my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's a necklace. Okay, from where is it? Oh? Is
it like a really pretty necklace. It's it's like gold beads.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Like?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What's the brand? Image? Is it? Imma J? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Man, it might be Imma J. Nope, that's definitely not it.
I just clicked on imag 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.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Did you get that?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
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 that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And then sent it to him, Sue.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And that's it. I was the one and only option.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
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.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I Yeah about you get to a point in your
life where you just if you want something, you go
get it, especially as an adult.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah you know what I mean. Like, like that's kind
of where I am ish because.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Like the things that I gave my parents who wanted something.
I have a hot yoga mat because I are a
towel for that because I just don't want to have
to keep watching.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
The one that I have.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
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.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
To like hold o cute. Yeah, that and that's all
I have. Oh there I did.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
My boyfriend's sister was asking me 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
twelve dollars, but they're decorative and I the little.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Jars like you keep them in a little jar with water.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No, they're like the size of a tennis ball. And
they go in a bowl like for my dining room table.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh they're not real.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No, Well, I don't know if it's like dead moss
that's turned they paint green.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
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. 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 of it.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh cute, And.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
They're cute little plants. And that's the only plant I've
been able to keep alive. So that's what you reminded
me of when Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You don't need water for these, but they're just you know,
have you seen them?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Like I think I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's just I don't know. My sister told me I
needed to add some green to my table. It's 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. Oh no, well,
why wasn't he put in charge of keeping them all?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I was, But it's more just me in my house.
I'm telling you, if you bring in a living thing
that's a plant into my house, it will not survive.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't think my house has enough sunlight indirect or
direct sunlight.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Oh so they just weren't in the right spot to thrive.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well, we put them outside and they started thriving, but
then as soon as the winter hit they were gone.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
This is Morgan's specialty. Sorry, Okay, yeah, have you been to.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Any You go to any like Christmas pop ups?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Really, It's 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 cider and hot chalk 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 our Geist
Tailgate Brewery in Germantown. They have like a German one.
(17:12):
Geist is always decorated so insanely well. Sunny's has a
bunch of stuff up in Christmas cocktails you can drink.
Play Date is also cool when they have a cool
slide in the back. But everything's like ornaments are everywhere,
Tinsel and then pushing Point Settus, which is actually pushing daisies.
It's an underground margarita bar, but they decorated it all
out for.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Christmas, turn it into pushing point set us.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh cute, and then what are the other ones?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Also, gay Lord, you should walk around for sure. And
Franklin is amazing separated for town Franklin. Yeah, we're going
down there when my boyfriend's mom gets in town because
they have a toasted.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Hot chocolate that I really want to try.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I've been seen it, of course all over social media,
but Franklin is really pretty just in general to walk around.
So I when I get a little toasted hot chocolate
and pretend I'm in a Hallmark movie love it my
favorite way to celebrate Christmas. And then there's Cheekwood that's
really cool. And Scooba actually turned me onto this one
Zip cafe. They do a hot chocolate from around the world,
so it's pretty fun. There's six or eight different hot
(18:15):
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 five Amazon gifts to give
right now? Renee from Iowa and I don't know if
we have top five, but well, I.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
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 wanted 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
(18:59):
amber colored light so it won't disrupt their circadian rhythm.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
That you can turn all.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
The lights off and then 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.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And it's twelve.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Dollars and it's a cute little I love a warm light.
I'm telling you that's why I love Christmas so much.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I love warm, warm lights.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
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 dyer balls, or you
can google the animal dryer balls.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And there's some brands that make.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
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
(20:02):
a cute little gift.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I don't think I've ever used dryer balls before.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I had to when I had that rash from my chest.
It was like over a year ago. I had this rash.
I couldn't get rid of it, and my dermatologists 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 plane for free detergent, okay, which
(20:28):
I used to be obsessed with this mango coconut or
something like detergent that I had.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It was so good.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
But now I've got plain unscented all and then I've
got my cute dryer balls. Though maybe that's why my
dry balls make me so happy now with my Vanilla
Essential oil.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
What did dry balls do?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I know what don't dryer sheets like help with the
static and stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, I still feel like my clothes are still a
little steticky, So I don't really know it just like
separates things, helps things like dry faster.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Because I've never used dry sheets or anything. I just
full raw dog though.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh really wow.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well, because dryer sheets I read about how like if
a dog ends up getting one of their 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.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
So do you use fabric softener?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Oh see, I don't use that anymore either because that
got taken away from me by my dermatologists as well.
So I use vinegar. Vinegar supposed to help soften the clothes.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So I feel like, but then when you smell like vinegar, No,
you don't. Vinegar is like a really I know, but
it doesn't you try? You don't you put like just
a little bit in.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
How do you put it though?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
In? Like do you dump it on the clothes?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I just dump it in the where the fabric softener
would go, Like I 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
(21:59):
rinses out. It doesn't smell like vinegar. Okay, all right,
I'm trusting, but I feel like it's.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Helped with odor.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And then my final so this would be the third
one that I think is just a cute gift. And
Grayson Stella is the brand, and they have really cute
underhige patches. Like the packaging is just cute. They have
different kinds. It doesn't matter which one you get. They're
all going to be gray. There's like pink, purple green.
They all have different things they do like deep puffing
or hydrating or just pick one because the packaging is cute.
(22:26):
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 is like a little treat.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I like that their packaging is cute. I do have
a few of them that people have given me as gift. Yeah,
and I'll pull them out just because they are cute. Yes, yeah,
because when you put on your eyes they still have cute.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
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 bright gold, kind of
even ugly gold. They're not even that cool looking. But
the grays and stellones are just cute. So that's why
it's like, if you're giving it as a gift, go cute.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, it's more fun that way too. Okay, So mine,
I have a few, like, uh, 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 soape dispenser. Did
you even know these existed? Because I didn't up until.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
A lot of five.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I've seen them in like public restrooms.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, not like that kind like you know how you
have a little like soap that comes in a bottle
and then you put in a key little thing. Yeah
that's decorative, but this is like a decorative one, but
you just like put your hand under it and it automatically
dispends the 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. Yeah, now that I have it,
(23:43):
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, and it's
been my favorite. So I got a little glass simmerpot
so I could see it's.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
H oo a glass simmerpot. That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, And I was really scared that I thought I
was gonna 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
gonna butcher the name of this, but it's borcel it
or I don't know. It's a type of glass that
it's made out of. So so you're good, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Shouldn't bust open on you. But I love is that
from Amazon.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, okay, I found that on Amazon, a little gassimmer
pot 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 Ivy has.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
A hot chocolate flavor, Oh yum.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
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 stuck at drinking water,
that's the collective unit. So Liquid Ivy hot chocolate and
then also animal face ornaments are super cute. You can
do find all kinds. So the one I ordered from
(25:01):
is not from Arimazon Amazon, It's not from Amazon. It's
from Perky Prints. 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, seeing them
an ornament it's on their tree or driable or that
is also an animal. And then the last one is
a game. We play this every time my family's in town.
(25:22):
We play it every Christmas, Thanksgiving. It's called Monopoly deal.
Have you ever played this? Have you ever played Monopoly?
I'm assuming yes. 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
(25:45):
one has created.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
A lot of fun in our family.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
So Kat the coast of my podcast, or her birthday
was early in the summer, 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
(26:08):
some of their favorite spots, or they love espresso martini,
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
they open it up and they played around to Vanopley
(26:30):
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.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I didn't either, and I love that idea. I might
steal that idea.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, isn't it good?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, especially people who play games. That's awesome. Okay, And
on something super cute really quick. What is your favorite
memory with your men so far in your relationships? Haley
in Wisconsin.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
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.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
We went to.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
This what's it called Canyon Ranch, I think on the
East Coast.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And this is when you stop launched your relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I remember that, but I saw 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.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I was like okay, So I was like.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Hey, you want to go to Canyon Ranch? And he
was like, oh, I'd love to 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 forty eight hours, but it's still awesome, and
uh I that picture popped up and I was like,
(27:44):
I'm going to put this is 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 envirol and how they
are and so that that is a favorite memory is
(28:04):
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
in a good time. And yeah, we had to finagle
some things to make it happen between his kids and
mine and that's probably in work. So yeah, we were
there less than forty eight hours. When she was saying, hey,
y'all go for four days if you can, I was like, shoot,
(28:26):
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.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
So that's a fairly good.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
For connecting in a relationship. Those kind of trips are perfect.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, even if we did something like you were just
naming all the different things to do in town, like
we did like a staycation, but we just went out
and treated Nashville like it was like we're visiting, like
because 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
(28:59):
they do. They act like they're on vacation all the
time in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
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
(29:25):
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
an organizational side and do all these things, and it
ended up just being one of my favorite memories. So
we're both nerds. We love to like both geek out
(29:47):
and have a fun time, and that's where our like
Harry Potter opsession became together and we're like, oh, we
both love this is we do this a million times over.
So that that was a really cool memory or the
one that he planned, those are the kind of two
ones that come to mine for my birthday trip. You
probably feel the same way about Charleston trip that he
planted for you.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
For sure, that is a good memory. Yes, I hadn't.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I guess that one was top of mine 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 stink and cute.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Well, and that's like when he's surprised me with the
trip in the mountains and we're in this like cute
little cabin. I da'mon know existed. Yeah, the surprises. We
love being surprised. Okay, we're jumping out of here because
