Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choti. After the show podcast,
I want to go a little.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Deeper into the oils and butters that we were sort
of recommending in the show today for pregnant bellies. You know,
oils being like coconut oils and rose hip oil and
vitamin E oil, which will get pretty expensive if you
were rubbing that on your belly every night for nine months.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
That oil smell like coconuts.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh, yes it does. Joney smells really good at night.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The first time when I first started doing that, he
was like, he scooched oversays, you smell.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Like a cookie. Yeah, you know why. I like, we're
gonna get to it, just like a Hope's royal.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, it's from coconuts. It's real, and it comes and
it's in a solid jar. You buy it. I buy
the organic kind of a solid jar. And remember a
couple of years ag it's my favorite story about coconut oil.
A couple of years ago when our air conditioning. Air
conditioning was broken in the summer and we were just
sweating for days until they could come fix it.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
We were so hot. We had fans going.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I keep it, I keep the coconut oil jar by
the bath because I usually put it on my legs
after I got out of the bath.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It was liquid. The house was so hot, it was liquid.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And then when the AC started working again, it was
solid again, so cool and it worked. But yes, coconut
oil is one of those that's so good for your skin.
We were mentioning all the you know, the recommendations for
if you're pregnant or you know someone who is and
you know they want to try to minimize the chance
(01:36):
of getting stretch marks. It's a cool gift idea, or
it's a cool suggestion only if you're close with that person,
because it's a really personal gift. You know, I always
said I regretted not doing any of that. I put
lotion every once in a while when I remembered, and
that's not going to do it. You have to kind
of you know, your skin is growing fast every day.
You got to be on top of that every day
(01:57):
if you're trying to change or you know, know, supplement
what's happening to skin. But it's interesting everything we mentioned
today really natural stuff. Even the stuff that you can
buy that's for this, like the birds bees, Mama Bear
belly butter is what it's called. And there are other brands,
like there's cocoa butter that's made and sold. I can't
(02:19):
remember the brand, but it's sold for stretch marks for
a pregnant women period, like this will help you not
get them, or this will help ease the you know,
look of them if you've already got them. And that's
cocoa butter, and that's all natural. So the question being
how many natural things do you actually use? Because wow,
do they work?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
They just do.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So are they natural for anti aging or are they
just is it just healthy maintenance of your skin. It's
not necessarily going to change that inevitable.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's probably a matter of opinion. There's a lot of
research being done all the time, and I'm not in
that world. I can't quote it, but I do know
for a fact. That's one reason I put coconut oil
on so often at night now, Murphy, because I feel
like I feel good about putting it on.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
It's natural, it smells incredible. Now it is slippery, stick
to the sheets. No, I put it on before I
get in the sheets.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
She slides out of the bed so quietly in the morning.
I don't hear her though, but it smells good.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Here's what's up as somebody who does it, like I
put it on everywhere, heels, elbows, just all kinds of places,
and it does feel very slippery, but it really it's
a carrier oil. It's used as a carrier carrier oil
if you're like using essential oils and you want to
use them for other things. It goes, really goes into
(03:38):
the skin. When I get up in the morning and
slide out of bed, Murphy, it's I'm not breezy at all, right,
it is completely soaked into my skin, which is so
cool to me. And I was reading this stuff and
we did in the show today about coconut oil being good.
Are gone are gone oil? I hope, I said that right,
rose hip oil, even olive oil. There was a lady
(04:01):
that used to go to my grandparents' church when I
was a little girl, and she had beautiful skin. And
I don't know her age I was a kid, So
my guest now looking back is that she was in
her seventies or eighties and she had beautiful skin. And
somebody asked her one day, what do you use you
(04:21):
use oilive ola or what do you use and she said, honey,
I put olive oil on my face every night.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Wow, And she just meant a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Really.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Now, that's probably not for everyone because that could clog
your pores too. You know, maybe speak to atologist. But
you know, in looking at all this going, man, the
natural stuff really does it. I have a couple stories.
Number One, I use an olive oil soap to wash
my face. If I have a lot of mass garrow on,
I have to do makeup remover for that. But I
(04:53):
use an olive oil soap. It's a natural thing and
I love the way that feels. But our youngest, Phoebe,
she has exzema. She's always had it. In fact, it's
gotten better as she's gotten older, which is what our
pediatrician told us.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, but it still gets aggravated by things like extremes,
like if she if her feet get wet, for example,
and she can't get them dried off soon enough.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, it's still issue.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
When she was a baby, when she was a toddler,
I had a box. And I say box, it was
a plastic container that you would snap closed. I had
so much stuff in there because I was the mom
who was trying anything and everything. A Veno Ezemma cream
I was trying aqua for which she still uses aqua
for some But do you know that we found and
(05:46):
she found her boyfriend's mom gave her some of it.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I've given her some of it. This healing bomb, tigerbomb.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
No, it's just a healing bomb that is mostly natural ingredients,
Like it has coconut oil and has tea tree oil,
and it acts as a natural antiseptic.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It's all natural everything in it. There's even like honey
in it. Okay, she says that works for all these years, she's,
you know, a young woman. Now she has found something
that works for her on her knuckles, you know, and
like arm creases where she gets flare ups, especially in
the summer.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Isn't that crazy? Yeah, it's like natural stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, in your body, chemistry continues to change. I hope
that that's always a solution for her. It's weird though,
how over time your skin's an organ just like everything else,
and it continues to change, age and all of that. Yeah,
that you know, what works at one point may change
for you later, just like your sensitivity to things the
sun or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Sure, so try do you use any natural things in
your life? Sam or is everything just chemicals? Pretty much?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Just chemicals?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Oh really? Okay, just wondering.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's just regular three and wine shampoo.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
There's something wrong with it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Believe me. Look of all this natural talk. Don't be fooled.
You sell this makeup. No, this is natural. This makeup
I wear, I have chemicals all over the place.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Probably.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Well, it's just interesting to me looking at the list
for the pregnant bellies. There's oils and butters and most
of them natural.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
You know, it's lovely.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, I think generally speaking, guys do not. It's just
not our thing to worry about our you know, keep
up with now. As time goes on, you start to
wish that you had because you know, you change, but
I don't. The only I don't know it's the natural
stuff so much. But like your mom gave me, you know,
the Squatch soaps that what they're called Squatch.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I had doctor Squatch Squares.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I love those, their natural ingredients.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Natural soaps are incredible as long as they're made where
they actually lather and you feel like you're getting And
if you've ever had a natural soap that didn't feel
like it lathered. You're not going to use it because
you don't feel like it gets you clean. But if
you get one that it you know checks that box
of lathering. But it also has like some of the
soaps with honey and even oat meal or lavender. It
(08:08):
smells incredible, again natural ingredients. So anyway, I just wanted
to go over it again for anybody.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I have a question too about Okay, stretch marks. Yeah,
is there a way to get rid of stretch marks
once you have them?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Not that I've found, Not that I've found. I have them.
I have more than i'd like like, I have a
lot of them. I was a average sized woman, and
when I got pregnant, I don't know if you remember
how big I was saying. Both times I was waddling
around here, and I didn't do any of those measures.
And even if I had done those, I might still strategy.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
But no, they're there. They're there. They're lighter in color.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
They used to be like red, you know, and now
you can't really see them.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But I know they're there, you know, you know what
I'm saying. And some women don't get them.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
One of my very best friends was also a very big,
pregnant girl, she got all the way pregnant and she
does not have them.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, I'm sure that there are surgical or laser techniques
that probably address that. But in terms of just like
float and stuff that you're talking about, butters and those.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Kinds of I could get rid of them surgically for sure,
but yeah, not doing that. But yeah, the oils we
mentioned all those oils for butters. Cocoa butter high on
the list. Shay butter is another one that's also very natural.
I don't know about the expense of that. And then
that bird's bees one that's a that's a thing, and
(09:36):
other things. By the way, you said you don't you
guys don't worry about that as much. But some of
the most common natural products for men beard oil.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Oh wait, then maybe I do have. I'd use this
stuff called honest honest amish. I've never looked at the ingredients,
but I use it for my beard. And you know,
while I have it on my hands, your hair, it's
a beard thing, but I put it my hair.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
What does it do for the beard?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Look at it now?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean I don't know because I don't let mine
grow out long enough to know.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
What is the what does it help with what is
it use for?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Soft? Soft? Often?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I mean I don't let it go too long. I
usually cut it back after a week, but yeah, while
it's out a little, I put it on there.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Nice beard oil is a whole industry for men with beer. Yeah,
it's a there's a million choices and a million products.
I don't know either, because you've never let it grow
very long the way you have.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I don't like the way that it feels, and to
be honest with you, on me, it starts to look scraggly.
I just don't That's that's me. Some people can pull
it off. I can't pull it off.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
