Speaker 1 (00:08):
Okay, cast up bad little food for yourself life. Oh
it's pretty bad. Hey, it's pretty beautiful beautiful for that
For a little more, family.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Said your kick in with four thing with Amy Brown,
Happy Thursday. Four Things Amy here, and I've got my girl,
Hailey dollar Hide joining me today. Hey, Haley, Hello, and
we're doing an o G episode. We've got four totally
different things and we're gonna be talking about four days
you should have every month, four questions to ask your friends, family, kids,
(00:51):
stuff around the dinner table, girls night out, four questions
to ask yourself daily, and then four things gratitude, which
built into that is going to be some fun recommendations
as well. So with that said, let's get started first. Okay, Hayley,
I saw hoe to post this whole thing about five
(01:12):
days we should have in our calendar every month. Five
our calendars. Yes, Okay. I narrowed it down to four
because I thought, how in the world does someone have
a no plans day? Because that was one of the
days I really as a mom and work in life.
I don't know how there is a day where there's
literally not a plan, yeah, in any form at all.
(01:33):
But I mean, I'll throw that one out there that's
like a bonus one that you're getting. That is the
fifth one that Hoda had up. So if you think
you can incorporate a no plans day, but the first
day that we need to have on our calendar every
single month is an adult day where we sit down
and on that day we focus on all the adult
things that we need to do. Maybe it's stuff you
put off, but if you have it under your adult day,
(01:56):
then you know you're going to tackle it and feel
good like you can focus on goals that day. You
can fix certain things around the house or do financing
that sounds fun. That's the most adult thing that you do.
I cut the grass on a zero turn. I think
the fact that you have a zero turn is very adult.
Why don't you explain what that is?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Oh, a zero turn is like a commercial grade lawnmower.
It's amazing and your kids don't bother you for a
whole hour.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's great out there on it. I've seen you on Instagram,
which Haley's handle is at Haley dollar Hide. I'll link
in the show notes, but she's got some good lawn
care stuff up there.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's a thing that is my adult day for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think one of the most adult things that I
do now is putting stuff into my calendar, which I
know you just got the Skylight Calendar, which I have.
I feel like that's a great tool. I know it's
August right now when y'all are listening to this, but
podcasts are so weird. You might be listening to this
in February of twenty twenty five. But if you're listening
August twenty twenty four when this comes out, I still
have a code for the Skylight Calendar, which is so great,
(02:55):
and it's Radio Amy forty and you get forty bucks off.
It's life changing, it really is. That's a thing for me. Yeah,
I think me too. I have more than one. The
second type of day we need to be having every
month is a self care day. So if you've got
to get your hair cut, you've got to do some
cleaning and organizing, like a face mask, a bath.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah. I don't count here days as a me day
because it's my hair takes like three hours.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's not fun. Oh like getting it colored and cut. Yeah,
it's like a whole thing. But a facial maybe a
massage or you take time to foam roll and it
sounds silly. What pham roll? Have you ever phone rolled?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I literally have no idea what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
A foam roller, it's this little two thing looking thing.
I'll show you when we go downstairs. But you can
foam roll your IT band. You can foam roll your
just helps iron out the kinks. It feels really but
I never do it, and I wonder why my body aches.
(03:57):
And I know that I should be foam rolling. But
if I put it in the calendar, because now I
have a required self care day and at least once
a month, I will are a.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Lot suppish to plan. If they're like literally saying plan
a certain day, yeah, to go back.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's why we eliminated it. Yeah, family and friends' day dinners, events,
organizing movie nights at home, holiday type stuff, which you're
doing something cool in October. You do it every year,
but people have enough time to plan in case they
want to do something like this themselves, so talk about
your big movie night.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
They do it every single year. When we were dating
John and I, we just did the two of us
in our like other adult friends, and we carved pumpkins.
And then when we all started in having babies, the
carving pumpkin was not safe, and now we just watch
movies and it's my favorite day of the year.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's this huge screen and you put outside and you're
on the front lawn and everybody just comes and you've
got food, and it's.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
My one party of year. It's kind of like if
I ever win the lottery, I have one big party
and then that's it. I don't do any other party,
just the Halloween movie party, and.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I love it, and you've become known for it. Yeah.
And then the final day, the fourth day here, which
I really love, is the inner child day. And this
might require some thinking, but you've got to tap into
your inner child. Would that be dancing around the kitchen?
Which I want more dance parties in my kitchen every day.
(05:23):
But is it a creative day where you set up
an easel with a canvas and you just paint like
a child and you don't care what it looks like.
It doesn't matter. But obviously if art is your thing,
it might actually look really good. I guess I'm speaking
for myself that there would be no judgment.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You're painting is.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, I do have a painting of John Mayer that
I made for Bobby and it barely looks like John Mayer.
But fun fact I got to show it to John
Mayer and then he signed it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
That's pretty cool anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Just doing something you love and not caring what you
look like doing it. And now I'm picturing Phoebe from
Friends just on her jog and how she would run
real Childlike did you watch Friends? I was young? Okay,
I mean, I mean it's available now you watch it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm like weird about shows.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Maybe that's the enneagram four in me. It's like I
don't want to do it because everybody else loves it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Okay, I gotta say something that has been cracking me
up on your Instagram have fun niagram mom things. So
give an example of what that's like. If y'all aren't
familiar with the enneagram, it's numbers one through nine, and
most people fall into, like your personalities fall into one
of the numbers, and it can be pretty spot on.
(06:32):
Some people are like, whatever, that's no, you can't make
it up.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
But I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I love the enneagram too, and it can be a
helpful tool. Just change my marriage. What's your husband? If
you're a four, A five? And I'm an eight. I
have a high four. Yeah, I was gonna say, why
did you just say.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Four that I have a high four in my podshart.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Because we know you're an eight. I am an eight, honey,
I am an eight all day long. Hayley will challenge
things and stick up for.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
What she Yes, I am an eight to the bone.
But I did cooking in the kitchen with nagrams and
like the one was measuring out the flower perfectly, and
the two was like I'll fix everything that everybody wants,
and the three, which is you, is meal planning.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
My niece was making fun of me because you know
she lived with me for the summer. You met her
and she said, I use the word bandwidth a lot,
and you do. Actually it would be dinner time after
working and then the kids and trying to figure stuff out.
I'd be like, you know, I just really need to
check in with my bandwidth, and I think we just a.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Good mental order Chipotle tool right, Yeah, you know your limits.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And then what's a four?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
A four is like no recipe, nothing, You just going
in the kitchen and being like it's very creative, like, oh,
I'll take this pickle, jelly jam and mix it with
mayonnaise and it'll be great. It'll be it'll be great.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And then the five.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The five is reading like a recipe and absolutely going
by every single like not venturing off even with salt
and pepper. Six is did I burn it? Oh, I'm
afraid to look at it. You know, they're making a
recipe they've made one hundred times because they know it,
but they're gonna burn it. And the seven is let's
have a big party, let's do the taco bar. And
(08:09):
then the eight, which is me, is well, I want pizza,
So what kind of y'all want? You know, just making
a decision. And then the nine is this one made
me laugh. I'm just allergic to peanuts a little bit.
It's totally fine. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'll eat it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It's fine, I'll eat it. Yeah, Yeah, that's classic.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Nine. My sister is a nine and I laughed when
I saw that one because that's how she would be.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Just very people pleasing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, so that's something cute to also see. It's on
your Instagram, So go watch those videos because you did
a few different versions on one now, mom, and I've
enjoyed them, so keep doing that. There you go, those
are the four days we should have every month. Adult Day,
self care Day, family friend's Day, and inner Child's Day.
(08:56):
All right, I got four questions to ask your friends
or your kids around the dinner table, or your significant
other whoever you're hanging out with your coworkers like this,
just little conversation starters that could be good. And we
do high low around the dinner table a lot. When
my niece was here, she had a friend visiting her
for the weekend and we were doing high low and
her friend said, oh, I love rose, thorn, bud. And
(09:20):
you share the rose of what's going on in your
life at the moment, which is a recent success, like
it's just it's already there, it's happened, it's awesome. You
share a thorn, which is a current challenge that you have,
and then you share a bud like what's budding in
your life? What's an opportunity with something you're looking forward to?
(09:40):
And so those are three questions right there. What's your rose,
what's your thorn, and what's your bud?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So I'll ask you, Okay, my rose right now is
more about my children. But as a mom, that's you know,
it's for me. We got really good teachers this year,
and last year we had a very difficult year, so
we were nervous about it, and it's just elimin I
need so much stress for me.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I think even of just acknowledging that and having gratitude
for it is. Yeah, this woman's amazing. It reminds me
of taking all the little things in your day and
looking at like what's going right, because sometimes we can
get wrapped up in what's going wrong. That's an easy
thing to sort of overlook, like Okay, yeah we got teachers,
they're good, like onto the next but it's pausing and thinking,
(10:22):
oh gosh, this actually really is going to be so
great for our year, and I'm getting very thankful.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You really notice it when you didn't have a great
year the year before, it matters.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah. I guess it's probably something I've not really thought
much about or taken for granted because I've typically had
good teachers. What about a thorn?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I think I have arthritis.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That is definitely a thorn.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I have this burning sensation in my knee. It almost
feels like a sunburn. And I don't run. I walk
every day, so it could either be runners knee, but
I don't run or arthritis, and all signs are pointing
towards arthritis. So I officially bought an arthritis brace the
other day.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It can come up at any age, depending on what's
been going on. I feel like sometimes when it's going
to rain, my joints will flare up. But I definitely
don't have arthritis. But yeah, I know some teenagers that
really deal.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
With it, and it can be crippling, debilitating. You know,
I went down the WEBMZ rabbit hole and I have
to just turn it off.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What about a bud for you? An opportunity?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I have a really exciting brand deal coming up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Can you say, who? What about a bud for you?
An opportunity?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I have a really exciting brand deal coming up.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Can you say who?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I haven't like finalized it, but zip lock bags.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Isn't that fun? It was something I had on my
vision board to get more brand deals and yeah, we
started talking on Instagram with all my recipes and yeah,
there's an opportunity there. So it's silly, but it's exciting.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well, my rose would be Stevenson getting baptized last weekend.
That just seeing a beautiful rose lines up with that,
because there was probably some thorns and buds in that,
and to see the growth that he's had and how
far he's come in him making that commitment and wanting
to and just how excited he was and seeing friends
(12:21):
that showed up to celebrate him. Probably had ten buddies there.
That's a core memory that came. And yeah, and watching
them hug him and high five him and pray over him. Also,
he's turning fourteen this weekend, so that's a rose as well.
A thorn for me would be I love my daughter Sashi,
a lover, She's amazing. Just a recent little thorn was
(12:43):
she put Hannah all over her face right before the baptism.
Hannah like a Hannah tattoo that lasts for weeks right,
well according to Google, because I was freaking out trying
to google, how long is this going to last? And
we need to get it off asap, and it said
anywhere from four days to three weeks. Yeah, depending on
how long you leave the Hennah on because you have
(13:05):
to let it set.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I don't know all about it.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Twelve hours. Luckily we got it off in time to
where it didn't do much permanent stuff. But I mean
I was getting baby oil and lemon and scrubbing and all.
The thing's kind of hilarious. It's hilarious. But Ben's family
was coming in town baptism. There was any family photos
in place. She was starting school two days after that
(13:30):
and her new job. She's a hostess. And I said,
you're front facing at it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You were probably the face of the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And you have Hanna tattoo all over your face, which
is beautiful in some cultures, not your culture, right, but
it's also typically on your hand. Yeah, well, she'd put
on the face that's hilarious, And then my bud would be.
An opportunity that I have might be that. I I
just saw a sign to get another cat, because there's
this big headline that said having a cat reduces risk
(13:58):
of a heart attack by thirty percent. So I'm like,
what an opportunity. I wonder what dogs do? Well? I
love my dog, but she sort of stresses me out sometimes,
and my cat doesn't stress me.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Aggie is pretty great, and I am not a cat person,
and Maggie's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I will second that. Ye, she's sitting here with us now.
So if you're looking for your sign to get a cat.
A ten year study conducted by the University of Minnesota's
Stroke Institute found that having a feline friend can reduce
the risk of a heart attack by over thirty percent.
These scientists followed over four thousand people and discovered the
cat owners had much lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So, huh, bring on the cats. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And then the final question for this section, so again,
you're playing this game with your girlfriends, your kids, you
do rosebud Thorn. And then if you did not know
the day you were born, how old would you be?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Okay, I have two answers. Mentally, I'm like eighty seven.
I feel like I know a lot just having such
a crazy childhood. You know, I remember being eighteen saying
to my mom, do you feel fifty or however old
she was? She wasn't fifty forty, and she was like, no,
I feel the same way I felt.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
When I was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So there's a part of me that still feels hip.
But I realize very quickly i'm not sometimes, but I
think if I was in a room by myself, in
my head, I'm still like eighteen.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So that's a double answer. I'm eighty seven and eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Kind of like that you got the wisdom, but you're
still young and free, yeah and fun and all the things.
A dead giveaway that you're older, according to gen Z,
is if you wear high heels when you go out,
because now.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
See I don't anymore. That's the thing. Like, I feel
like I fall into a lot of the gen Z trends.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's probably because you spend a lot of time on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah you is.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I know. Well now I'm like, okay, I got
to start where my sneakers are to go out because
I am just aging myself when I'm putting on my
heels because I still feel like that's what you do
to go out. So heads up, put on the sneakers.
And I'm not This is not me trying to look young,
and this is me saying like, thank god, the younger
is very smarter.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
It's harder. Yeah, Like, why would you walk down Broadway
in Hills if you didn't have to?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I have no why would you walk down Broadway? Idea?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
There we are.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But yeah, if I go to Broadway, I want to
go at like brunch time.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah definitely, or like if I'm down Broadway at night,
it's because there's a concerted bridge stone or something.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Amy's not even going to that. So, hey, I'm gonna
try to say yes to more things, like hey, I'm
gonna try to put myself out there, or you encourage
me to do that. Haley has been practicing yes this year. Yeah, yes, yeah,
and you feel like that's been a good thing for you.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Right, Yeah, I'm leaning into being uncomfortable. I mean, how
else are you going to grow? How aren't you going
to learn that you like new things if you don't
ever try them.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I feel like I'm about thirty and ninety yeah, but
I don't know that that's my wisdom. It's more by
ninety is I just want to stay home doing not
my But then I feel like I'm just about thirty
ish in life, but I want to be younger. So
I kind of want to circle back to this question
after I spend some more time with it saying yes.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I think after you say yes more you will feel
a little bit younger.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
You'll feel more of life. It is in our head.
I think if we continue to be like, oh, I
feel so old and I'm old, You're gonna age faster.
If you tell yourself I am young, I can do this.
Look at me, and I'm saying yes, And look at
all these opportunities.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oprah didn't even start until she was forty or something.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, she was working in news at a young age,
like an anchor, but like her, like her big success.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Oh okay, and so like when I think about things
like that, or I saw this thing was like Vera
Wang was forty something, and these are like major successful people.
Harrison Ford didn't start, you know, big until he was
much older.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
There's a lot of life left in us, is what
I'm trying to say. Watch out zip Block, because right they.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
May have no idea, they have no idea, they.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Have no idea who they just signed on with? Right
right now, I've got four questions we can ask ourselves daily. Okay.
The other ones were for our friends and ourselves like
just a group activity. This is more of a personal
daily check in with yourself in any decision that you're
(18:21):
trying to make. First question is does this align with
the life I want to create? I love that. Second
question is am I choosing this for myself or for others?
Third question, will my future self thank me for this?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
That's a good one. It's just sometimes hard for me
to tell it. For that second question, if I am
choosing it for myself or for others, I guess I
need to get some tools on how to work through that,
because sometimes maybe there's there's four.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
If you get stumped at one, another answer might help
you answer that.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
You know what I'm saying me, that's the eighty seven
you so wise? Does this raise or lower my energy?
That's the fourth question? And I think you can implement
that with if you're going to say yes to.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Something really great with yes.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Earlier, people you want to be around, opportunities you maybe
want to take.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I tell my girls all the time, pay attention to
how you feel when you're with someone and how you
feel when you leave. If someone doesn't make you feel great,
and it might not even be something they're doing personally
to you, just something about this person and the way
they do life. If I don't like how that makes
me feel, I won't say yes next time. But if
I enjoy the way I feel when I'm around somebody,
(19:37):
it helps me say yes next time.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It helps you with your boundaries and protecting your space,
and it doesn't mean that there's anything no necessarily even
wrong with that person. It's just whatever the energy between.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Some people just don't flow. Well, that's all there is
to it.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So there you go. Four questions to ask yourself daily.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Four things.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All right, this four things gratitude is going to be recommendations.
So four things recommends, but things were thankful for That
also could be stuff that other people want to try out.
For example, a book that I just downloaded and started reading, Well,
(20:26):
i'm listening to but Reese Witherspoon said she wants to
normalize listening to books and in as reading. I've been
reading the physical book Big Magic, but then I downloaded
the book Mind Magic, two totally different authors, two totally
different things. And my sister is the one that told
me about it, and she could not stop going on
(20:49):
and on, and so I thought, well, I've got my
book that I crawl into bed and I'm reading Big
Magic now and I'm walking the dog. I'm listening to Mind.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Magic thirty so more efficient.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah. Yeah, So that's my book recommendation. Do you have one? Well,
I don't read.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
We know this, but the show that I'm into right
now is a book Lady in the Lake on Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I started episode one of that, and I could not
get into it stick with it. Okay, all right, what
about a product you're thankful for.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I bought this knockoff roll brush hair dryer, but it's
also got all these different attachments. It's got a diffuser,
a hair dryer, a regular brush, and a roll brush.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And so the dice in situation is probably five hundred
and six.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And they're wonderful. I just don't fix my hair enough
to justify it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
But so, how much is the knockoff seventy dollars? Oh
that's not bad. Yeah, No, it's not bad at all.
And where'd you get it? Amazon? My product would be
my snail serum. I do quarterly treatments and then I
keep little vials around if I have an event or something.
But I do the ten day treatment. The instructions are
on the biopal box, and I forgot how much I
(22:02):
love it and it just gives life to my skin
and I'm glowing. So shout out Biopel for snail serum
and for their stuff. Sometimes Amazon has it on sale
and it's a really good sale, and I'll try to
let people know or listeners will even let me know,
and then.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I have it in your Amazon Store too, right, yes, but.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's not always on sale. If it is, that's an
easy way for people to get it. If not, then
you can go to Biopel's website, which sometimes just isn't
as easy for people. Amazon's right on your phone, they
just make it so easy. But you can use the
code happy and that will get you a discount on
any of the biopel stuff. So just whatever ends up
working for you if you want to try it out.
(22:39):
It's the ten Sage forty and it's a ten pack
of vials with a snail serum. All right, let's go
to a recipe that we want to share.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's got to be the Keso Dip.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You've gone viral.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I've gone crazy viral, Like there's eighty thousand likes on
it and it's maybe three million views.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's crazy over Keso dip. Well, I was intrigued because
it's like these cheese slices and then also butter, like
a stick of.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Butter, stick of butter, some Cuban white American cheese, which
makes me laugh. It's not like a Mexican glend. It's
white American cheese. And then milk chili, green chili. I
can like the little small one. I mean it takes
literally five minutes from start to finish.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm intrigued, so I'm going to try that. I would
be We made the meatballs. Adeline and I were talking
about this, I think on Instagram and a Q and
A that I did, and we maybe brought it up
in a podcast that we did, not sure, but we
finally made them. It's a frozen bag of meatballs, a
thing of grape jelly and a thing of Heine's chili
sauce and all you do is put that in a
crop pot and then you get toothpicks and you serve it.
(23:41):
It's great. I made it and the kids loved it.
Steven sent and Sashira had never had them, and that's
what we had for dinner one night, and Stashira thought, oh,
I think this would be really good with a sharp
cheddar cheese. So then she cut little cubes of sharp
sheddar cheese and sprinkled it with a little sea salt
and then stuck that on toothpick with the meatball.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
So I've seen people do the little cocktail weenies with
the grape jelly, but never a meatball.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That's something to try, Yes, I've done the weeny things
that way too. What did the hot dogs say when
it won the race? I'm the wiener.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
What did sushi say to the bubble be?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
What's that be?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh? Okay, we talked about this.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well, no, you're just talking to the morning on.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
What does the pig say on a hot summer day?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'm bacon?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Okay. That's a good one, good one, all right. So
for this thing, we'll do like grab bag, just a
random thing that comes to your mind that you're thankful
for all the first so you can think about it.
I am thankful for and again this is sort of
time sensitive, but next week there's an event for Home
Street Home and so I'm thankful for the people putting
it on, the artists that are me playing. It's an
(24:55):
event called Stories and Songs. I'm excited to get. Yeah,
you're gonna go. There's a lot of other people are
gonna be there. Gracie her husband Steve Mochler. He was one
of the songwriters involved last year. I don't know if
he's playing this year. But there's so many talented people
here in town. And it's in Franklin at the Factory
and if you're in town, I'll link it in the
show notes. It'd be awesome if y'all wanted to go
and support Home Street Home. Stephen Young, who's the founder
(25:18):
of it, he was homeless.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Himself, so that's amazing how far he's got.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
How far he's come in the last ten years with
this organization, and he was homeless and self for five years,
and he's been on the podcast multiple times and just
has such a beautiful story and he's impacting Nashville and
the homeless community in such a huge way. So I'm
just very thankful for that event, and it's coming up,
and I wanted people to know about it. If you're
in town and you can go, I'll link it in
(25:41):
the show notes so you can get tickets or just
google the factory Wednesday, August the fourteenth, songs and stories,
Home Street Home, keywords, all those things, and hopefully it
will come up for you. But also show notes are
pretty easy to get to. I just don't know if
sometimes people go over there and they know that they
can like actually click links that are in the show
notes and it'll take you right to everything. All right,
So what's your grab bag?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I don't fly very well. And I was on an airplane.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I can't even remember the movie I was watching, but
this was god because I was watching the movie and
the girl on the movie said we control our emotions.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And I was like, oh my god, that's genius.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
So I literally just sat there and said, Haley, you
control your emotions. And I calmed down, and I was
very grounded and aware. And I've used that so many
times now, and I've taught my daughters to do it.
And they'll be fighting or upset about something and I'm like,
say it with me. I control my emotions, and they'll
be mad. I control my emotions, and then they calmed down.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I think there is something call me about knowing we
are in control. Sometimes though I've hit another level where
I feel a little bit out of control. I don't
know if that's a hormone thing or just as a
human thing, keeping my emotions in the driver's seat. And
so that's another reminder that I tell myself. It's like, Okay,
it's okay to feel these emotions right now, and I
(26:58):
must I must feel them. However, I need them to
go to the passenger seat. They cannot be driving. And
if if I feel like my emotions are in the
driver's seat. I have to pause whatever I'm doing because
I may end up saying something that I'm going to
regret doing something that doesn't align with you know who.
I want to be back to those questions that we
can ask ourselves every day, like is my future me
(27:21):
going to thank me for this? Because I think that's
probably the best. One future of me is going to
be really mad that I let my emotions do something
and control anything.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
We shouldn't let our emotions dictate.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But we do. And then that's the way, you know, thankfully,
we can go back and apologize or unless you.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And then you're sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
So there you go. That's the OG episode with four
things inside each thing. Hailey, where can people find you?
I know we talked about your Instagram and I'm gonna
link in the show notes, but it.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Is at Haley Dollar had on all socials.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yep, boom, and then I'm at Radio Amy and like
our friend therapy Cat says, I hope y'all have the
day that you need to have and we'll see you later.
Bye bye,
Okay, cast up bad little food for yourself life. Oh
it's pretty bad. Hey, it's pretty beautiful beautiful for that
For a little more, family.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Said your kick in with four thing with Amy Brown,
Happy Thursday. Four Things Amy here, and I've got my girl,
Hailey dollar Hide joining me today. Hey, Haley, Hello, and
we're doing an o G episode. We've got four totally
different things and we're gonna be talking about four days
you should have every month, four questions to ask your friends, family, kids,
(00:51):
stuff around the dinner table, girls night out, four questions
to ask yourself daily, and then four things gratitude, which
built into that is going to be some fun recommendations
as well. So with that said, let's get started first. Okay, Hayley,
I saw hoe to post this whole thing about five
(01:12):
days we should have in our calendar every month. Five
our calendars. Yes, Okay. I narrowed it down to four
because I thought, how in the world does someone have
a no plans day? Because that was one of the
days I really as a mom and work in life.
I don't know how there is a day where there's
literally not a plan, yeah, in any form at all.
(01:33):
But I mean, I'll throw that one out there that's
like a bonus one that you're getting. That is the
fifth one that Hoda had up. So if you think
you can incorporate a no plans day, but the first
day that we need to have on our calendar every
single month is an adult day where we sit down
and on that day we focus on all the adult
things that we need to do. Maybe it's stuff you
put off, but if you have it under your adult day,
(01:56):
then you know you're going to tackle it and feel
good like you can focus on goals that day. You
can fix certain things around the house or do financing
that sounds fun. That's the most adult thing that you do.
I cut the grass on a zero turn. I think
the fact that you have a zero turn is very adult.
Why don't you explain what that is?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Oh, a zero turn is like a commercial grade lawnmower.
It's amazing and your kids don't bother you for a
whole hour.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's great out there on it. I've seen you on Instagram,
which Haley's handle is at Haley dollar Hide. I'll link
in the show notes, but she's got some good lawn
care stuff up there.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's a thing that is my adult day for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think one of the most adult things that I
do now is putting stuff into my calendar, which I
know you just got the Skylight Calendar, which I have.
I feel like that's a great tool. I know it's
August right now when y'all are listening to this, but
podcasts are so weird. You might be listening to this
in February of twenty twenty five. But if you're listening
August twenty twenty four when this comes out, I still
have a code for the Skylight Calendar, which is so great,
(02:55):
and it's Radio Amy forty and you get forty bucks off.
It's life changing, it really is. That's a thing for me. Yeah,
I think me too. I have more than one. The
second type of day we need to be having every
month is a self care day. So if you've got
to get your hair cut, you've got to do some
cleaning and organizing, like a face mask, a bath.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah. I don't count here days as a me day
because it's my hair takes like three hours.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's not fun. Oh like getting it colored and cut. Yeah,
it's like a whole thing. But a facial maybe a
massage or you take time to foam roll and it
sounds silly. What pham roll? Have you ever phone rolled?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I literally have no idea what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
A foam roller, it's this little two thing looking thing.
I'll show you when we go downstairs. But you can
foam roll your IT band. You can foam roll your
just helps iron out the kinks. It feels really but
I never do it, and I wonder why my body aches.
(03:57):
And I know that I should be foam rolling. But
if I put it in the calendar, because now I
have a required self care day and at least once
a month, I will are a.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Lot suppish to plan. If they're like literally saying plan
a certain day, yeah, to go back.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's why we eliminated it. Yeah, family and friends' day dinners, events,
organizing movie nights at home, holiday type stuff, which you're
doing something cool in October. You do it every year,
but people have enough time to plan in case they
want to do something like this themselves, so talk about
your big movie night.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
They do it every single year. When we were dating
John and I, we just did the two of us
in our like other adult friends, and we carved pumpkins.
And then when we all started in having babies, the
carving pumpkin was not safe, and now we just watch
movies and it's my favorite day of the year.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's this huge screen and you put outside and you're
on the front lawn and everybody just comes and you've
got food, and it's.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
My one party of year. It's kind of like if
I ever win the lottery, I have one big party
and then that's it. I don't do any other party,
just the Halloween movie party, and.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I love it, and you've become known for it. Yeah.
And then the final day, the fourth day here, which
I really love, is the inner child day. And this
might require some thinking, but you've got to tap into
your inner child. Would that be dancing around the kitchen?
Which I want more dance parties in my kitchen every day.
(05:23):
But is it a creative day where you set up
an easel with a canvas and you just paint like
a child and you don't care what it looks like.
It doesn't matter. But obviously if art is your thing,
it might actually look really good. I guess I'm speaking
for myself that there would be no judgment.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You're painting is.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, I do have a painting of John Mayer that
I made for Bobby and it barely looks like John Mayer.
But fun fact I got to show it to John
Mayer and then he signed it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
That's pretty cool anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Just doing something you love and not caring what you
look like doing it. And now I'm picturing Phoebe from
Friends just on her jog and how she would run
real Childlike did you watch Friends? I was young? Okay,
I mean, I mean it's available now you watch it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm like weird about shows.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Maybe that's the enneagram four in me. It's like I
don't want to do it because everybody else loves it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Okay, I gotta say something that has been cracking me
up on your Instagram have fun niagram mom things. So
give an example of what that's like. If y'all aren't
familiar with the enneagram, it's numbers one through nine, and
most people fall into, like your personalities fall into one
of the numbers, and it can be pretty spot on.
(06:32):
Some people are like, whatever, that's no, you can't make
it up.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
But I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I love the enneagram too, and it can be a
helpful tool. Just change my marriage. What's your husband? If
you're a four, A five? And I'm an eight. I
have a high four. Yeah, I was gonna say, why
did you just say.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Four that I have a high four in my podshart.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Because we know you're an eight. I am an eight, honey,
I am an eight all day long. Hayley will challenge
things and stick up for.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
What she Yes, I am an eight to the bone.
But I did cooking in the kitchen with nagrams and
like the one was measuring out the flower perfectly, and
the two was like I'll fix everything that everybody wants,
and the three, which is you, is meal planning.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
My niece was making fun of me because you know
she lived with me for the summer. You met her
and she said, I use the word bandwidth a lot,
and you do. Actually it would be dinner time after
working and then the kids and trying to figure stuff out.
I'd be like, you know, I just really need to
check in with my bandwidth, and I think we just a.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Good mental order Chipotle tool right, Yeah, you know your limits.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And then what's a four?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
A four is like no recipe, nothing, You just going
in the kitchen and being like it's very creative, like, oh,
I'll take this pickle, jelly jam and mix it with
mayonnaise and it'll be great. It'll be it'll be great.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And then the five.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The five is reading like a recipe and absolutely going
by every single like not venturing off even with salt
and pepper. Six is did I burn it? Oh, I'm
afraid to look at it. You know, they're making a
recipe they've made one hundred times because they know it,
but they're gonna burn it. And the seven is let's
have a big party, let's do the taco bar. And
(08:09):
then the eight, which is me, is well, I want pizza,
So what kind of y'all want? You know, just making
a decision. And then the nine is this one made
me laugh. I'm just allergic to peanuts a little bit.
It's totally fine. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'll eat it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It's fine, I'll eat it. Yeah, Yeah, that's classic.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Nine. My sister is a nine and I laughed when
I saw that one because that's how she would be.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Just very people pleasing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, so that's something cute to also see. It's on
your Instagram, So go watch those videos because you did
a few different versions on one now, mom, and I've
enjoyed them, so keep doing that. There you go, those
are the four days we should have every month. Adult Day,
self care Day, family friend's Day, and inner Child's Day.
(08:56):
All right, I got four questions to ask your friends
or your kids around the dinner table, or your significant
other whoever you're hanging out with your coworkers like this,
just little conversation starters that could be good. And we
do high low around the dinner table a lot. When
my niece was here, she had a friend visiting her
for the weekend and we were doing high low and
her friend said, oh, I love rose, thorn, bud. And
(09:20):
you share the rose of what's going on in your
life at the moment, which is a recent success, like
it's just it's already there, it's happened, it's awesome. You
share a thorn, which is a current challenge that you have,
and then you share a bud like what's budding in
your life? What's an opportunity with something you're looking forward to?
(09:40):
And so those are three questions right there. What's your rose,
what's your thorn, and what's your bud?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So I'll ask you, Okay, my rose right now is
more about my children. But as a mom, that's you know,
it's for me. We got really good teachers this year,
and last year we had a very difficult year, so
we were nervous about it, and it's just elimin I
need so much stress for me.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I think even of just acknowledging that and having gratitude
for it is. Yeah, this woman's amazing. It reminds me
of taking all the little things in your day and
looking at like what's going right, because sometimes we can
get wrapped up in what's going wrong. That's an easy
thing to sort of overlook, like Okay, yeah we got teachers,
they're good, like onto the next but it's pausing and thinking,
(10:22):
oh gosh, this actually really is going to be so
great for our year, and I'm getting very thankful.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You really notice it when you didn't have a great
year the year before, it matters.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah. I guess it's probably something I've not really thought
much about or taken for granted because I've typically had
good teachers. What about a thorn?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I think I have arthritis.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That is definitely a thorn.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I have this burning sensation in my knee. It almost
feels like a sunburn. And I don't run. I walk
every day, so it could either be runners knee, but
I don't run or arthritis, and all signs are pointing
towards arthritis. So I officially bought an arthritis brace the
other day.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It can come up at any age, depending on what's
been going on. I feel like sometimes when it's going
to rain, my joints will flare up. But I definitely
don't have arthritis. But yeah, I know some teenagers that
really deal.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
With it, and it can be crippling, debilitating. You know,
I went down the WEBMZ rabbit hole and I have
to just turn it off.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What about a bud for you? An opportunity?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I have a really exciting brand deal coming up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Can you say, who? What about a bud for you?
An opportunity?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I have a really exciting brand deal coming up.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Can you say who?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I haven't like finalized it, but zip lock bags.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Isn't that fun? It was something I had on my
vision board to get more brand deals and yeah, we
started talking on Instagram with all my recipes and yeah,
there's an opportunity there. So it's silly, but it's exciting.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well, my rose would be Stevenson getting baptized last weekend.
That just seeing a beautiful rose lines up with that,
because there was probably some thorns and buds in that,
and to see the growth that he's had and how
far he's come in him making that commitment and wanting
to and just how excited he was and seeing friends
(12:21):
that showed up to celebrate him. Probably had ten buddies there.
That's a core memory that came. And yeah, and watching
them hug him and high five him and pray over him. Also,
he's turning fourteen this weekend, so that's a rose as well.
A thorn for me would be I love my daughter Sashi,
a lover, She's amazing. Just a recent little thorn was
(12:43):
she put Hannah all over her face right before the baptism.
Hannah like a Hannah tattoo that lasts for weeks right,
well according to Google, because I was freaking out trying
to google, how long is this going to last? And
we need to get it off asap, and it said
anywhere from four days to three weeks. Yeah, depending on
how long you leave the Hennah on because you have
(13:05):
to let it set.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I don't know all about it.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Twelve hours. Luckily we got it off in time to
where it didn't do much permanent stuff. But I mean
I was getting baby oil and lemon and scrubbing and all.
The thing's kind of hilarious. It's hilarious. But Ben's family
was coming in town baptism. There was any family photos
in place. She was starting school two days after that
(13:30):
and her new job. She's a hostess. And I said,
you're front facing at it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You were probably the face of the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And you have Hanna tattoo all over your face, which
is beautiful in some cultures, not your culture, right, but
it's also typically on your hand. Yeah, well, she'd put
on the face that's hilarious, And then my bud would be.
An opportunity that I have might be that. I I
just saw a sign to get another cat, because there's
this big headline that said having a cat reduces risk
(13:58):
of a heart attack by thirty percent. So I'm like,
what an opportunity. I wonder what dogs do? Well? I
love my dog, but she sort of stresses me out sometimes,
and my cat doesn't stress me.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Aggie is pretty great, and I am not a cat person,
and Maggie's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I will second that. Ye, she's sitting here with us now.
So if you're looking for your sign to get a cat.
A ten year study conducted by the University of Minnesota's
Stroke Institute found that having a feline friend can reduce
the risk of a heart attack by over thirty percent.
These scientists followed over four thousand people and discovered the
cat owners had much lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So, huh, bring on the cats. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And then the final question for this section, so again,
you're playing this game with your girlfriends, your kids, you
do rosebud Thorn. And then if you did not know
the day you were born, how old would you be?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Okay, I have two answers. Mentally, I'm like eighty seven.
I feel like I know a lot just having such
a crazy childhood. You know, I remember being eighteen saying
to my mom, do you feel fifty or however old
she was? She wasn't fifty forty, and she was like, no,
I feel the same way I felt.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
When I was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So there's a part of me that still feels hip.
But I realize very quickly i'm not sometimes, but I
think if I was in a room by myself, in
my head, I'm still like eighteen.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So that's a double answer. I'm eighty seven and eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Kind of like that you got the wisdom, but you're
still young and free, yeah and fun and all the things.
A dead giveaway that you're older, according to gen Z,
is if you wear high heels when you go out,
because now.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
See I don't anymore. That's the thing. Like, I feel
like I fall into a lot of the gen Z trends.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's probably because you spend a lot of time on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah you is.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I know. Well now I'm like, okay, I got
to start where my sneakers are to go out because
I am just aging myself when I'm putting on my
heels because I still feel like that's what you do
to go out. So heads up, put on the sneakers.
And I'm not This is not me trying to look young,
and this is me saying like, thank god, the younger
is very smarter.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
It's harder. Yeah, Like, why would you walk down Broadway
in Hills if you didn't have to?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I have no why would you walk down Broadway? Idea?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
There we are.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But yeah, if I go to Broadway, I want to
go at like brunch time.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah definitely, or like if I'm down Broadway at night,
it's because there's a concerted bridge stone or something.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Amy's not even going to that. So, hey, I'm gonna
try to say yes to more things, like hey, I'm
gonna try to put myself out there, or you encourage
me to do that. Haley has been practicing yes this year. Yeah, yes, yeah,
and you feel like that's been a good thing for you.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Right, Yeah, I'm leaning into being uncomfortable. I mean, how
else are you going to grow? How aren't you going
to learn that you like new things if you don't
ever try them.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I feel like I'm about thirty and ninety yeah, but
I don't know that that's my wisdom. It's more by
ninety is I just want to stay home doing not
my But then I feel like I'm just about thirty
ish in life, but I want to be younger. So
I kind of want to circle back to this question
after I spend some more time with it saying yes.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I think after you say yes more you will feel
a little bit younger.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
You'll feel more of life. It is in our head.
I think if we continue to be like, oh, I
feel so old and I'm old, You're gonna age faster.
If you tell yourself I am young, I can do this.
Look at me, and I'm saying yes, And look at
all these opportunities.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oprah didn't even start until she was forty or something.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, she was working in news at a young age,
like an anchor, but like her, like her big success.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Oh okay, and so like when I think about things
like that, or I saw this thing was like Vera
Wang was forty something, and these are like major successful people.
Harrison Ford didn't start, you know, big until he was
much older.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
There's a lot of life left in us, is what
I'm trying to say. Watch out zip Block, because right they.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
May have no idea, they have no idea, they.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Have no idea who they just signed on with? Right
right now, I've got four questions we can ask ourselves daily. Okay.
The other ones were for our friends and ourselves like
just a group activity. This is more of a personal
daily check in with yourself in any decision that you're
(18:21):
trying to make. First question is does this align with
the life I want to create? I love that. Second
question is am I choosing this for myself or for others?
Third question, will my future self thank me for this?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
That's a good one. It's just sometimes hard for me
to tell it. For that second question, if I am
choosing it for myself or for others, I guess I
need to get some tools on how to work through that,
because sometimes maybe there's there's four.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
If you get stumped at one, another answer might help
you answer that.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
You know what I'm saying me, that's the eighty seven
you so wise? Does this raise or lower my energy?
That's the fourth question? And I think you can implement
that with if you're going to say yes to.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Something really great with yes.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Earlier, people you want to be around, opportunities you maybe
want to take.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I tell my girls all the time, pay attention to
how you feel when you're with someone and how you
feel when you leave. If someone doesn't make you feel great,
and it might not even be something they're doing personally
to you, just something about this person and the way
they do life. If I don't like how that makes
me feel, I won't say yes next time. But if
I enjoy the way I feel when I'm around somebody,
(19:37):
it helps me say yes next time.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It helps you with your boundaries and protecting your space,
and it doesn't mean that there's anything no necessarily even
wrong with that person. It's just whatever the energy between.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Some people just don't flow. Well, that's all there is
to it.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So there you go. Four questions to ask yourself daily.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Four things.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All right, this four things gratitude is going to be recommendations.
So four things recommends, but things were thankful for That
also could be stuff that other people want to try out.
For example, a book that I just downloaded and started reading, Well,
(20:26):
i'm listening to but Reese Witherspoon said she wants to
normalize listening to books and in as reading. I've been
reading the physical book Big Magic, but then I downloaded
the book Mind Magic, two totally different authors, two totally
different things. And my sister is the one that told
me about it, and she could not stop going on
(20:49):
and on, and so I thought, well, I've got my
book that I crawl into bed and I'm reading Big
Magic now and I'm walking the dog. I'm listening to Mind.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Magic thirty so more efficient.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah. Yeah, So that's my book recommendation. Do you have one? Well,
I don't read.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
We know this, but the show that I'm into right
now is a book Lady in the Lake on Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I started episode one of that, and I could not
get into it stick with it. Okay, all right, what
about a product you're thankful for.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I bought this knockoff roll brush hair dryer, but it's
also got all these different attachments. It's got a diffuser,
a hair dryer, a regular brush, and a roll brush.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And so the dice in situation is probably five hundred
and six.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And they're wonderful. I just don't fix my hair enough
to justify it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
But so, how much is the knockoff seventy dollars? Oh
that's not bad. Yeah, No, it's not bad at all.
And where'd you get it? Amazon? My product would be
my snail serum. I do quarterly treatments and then I
keep little vials around if I have an event or something.
But I do the ten day treatment. The instructions are
on the biopal box, and I forgot how much I
(22:02):
love it and it just gives life to my skin
and I'm glowing. So shout out Biopel for snail serum
and for their stuff. Sometimes Amazon has it on sale
and it's a really good sale, and I'll try to
let people know or listeners will even let me know,
and then.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I have it in your Amazon Store too, right, yes, but.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's not always on sale. If it is, that's an
easy way for people to get it. If not, then
you can go to Biopel's website, which sometimes just isn't
as easy for people. Amazon's right on your phone, they
just make it so easy. But you can use the
code happy and that will get you a discount on
any of the biopel stuff. So just whatever ends up
working for you if you want to try it out.
(22:39):
It's the ten Sage forty and it's a ten pack
of vials with a snail serum. All right, let's go
to a recipe that we want to share.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's got to be the Keso Dip.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You've gone viral.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I've gone crazy viral, Like there's eighty thousand likes on
it and it's maybe three million views.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's crazy over Keso dip. Well, I was intrigued because
it's like these cheese slices and then also butter, like
a stick of.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Butter, stick of butter, some Cuban white American cheese, which
makes me laugh. It's not like a Mexican glend. It's
white American cheese. And then milk chili, green chili. I
can like the little small one. I mean it takes
literally five minutes from start to finish.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm intrigued, so I'm going to try that. I would
be We made the meatballs. Adeline and I were talking
about this, I think on Instagram and a Q and
A that I did, and we maybe brought it up
in a podcast that we did, not sure, but we
finally made them. It's a frozen bag of meatballs, a
thing of grape jelly and a thing of Heine's chili
sauce and all you do is put that in a
crop pot and then you get toothpicks and you serve it.
(23:41):
It's great. I made it and the kids loved it.
Steven sent and Sashira had never had them, and that's
what we had for dinner one night, and Stashira thought, oh,
I think this would be really good with a sharp
cheddar cheese. So then she cut little cubes of sharp
sheddar cheese and sprinkled it with a little sea salt
and then stuck that on toothpick with the meatball.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
So I've seen people do the little cocktail weenies with
the grape jelly, but never a meatball.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That's something to try, Yes, I've done the weeny things
that way too. What did the hot dogs say when
it won the race? I'm the wiener.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
What did sushi say to the bubble be?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
What's that be?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh? Okay, we talked about this.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well, no, you're just talking to the morning on.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
What does the pig say on a hot summer day?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'm bacon?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Okay. That's a good one, good one, all right. So
for this thing, we'll do like grab bag, just a
random thing that comes to your mind that you're thankful
for all the first so you can think about it.
I am thankful for and again this is sort of
time sensitive, but next week there's an event for Home
Street Home and so I'm thankful for the people putting
it on, the artists that are me playing. It's an
(24:55):
event called Stories and Songs. I'm excited to get. Yeah,
you're gonna go. There's a lot of other people are
gonna be there. Gracie her husband Steve Mochler. He was one
of the songwriters involved last year. I don't know if
he's playing this year. But there's so many talented people
here in town. And it's in Franklin at the Factory
and if you're in town, I'll link it in the
show notes. It'd be awesome if y'all wanted to go
and support Home Street Home. Stephen Young, who's the founder
(25:18):
of it, he was homeless.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Himself, so that's amazing how far he's got.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
How far he's come in the last ten years with
this organization, and he was homeless and self for five years,
and he's been on the podcast multiple times and just
has such a beautiful story and he's impacting Nashville and
the homeless community in such a huge way. So I'm
just very thankful for that event, and it's coming up,
and I wanted people to know about it. If you're
in town and you can go, I'll link it in
(25:41):
the show notes so you can get tickets or just
google the factory Wednesday, August the fourteenth, songs and stories,
Home Street Home, keywords, all those things, and hopefully it
will come up for you. But also show notes are
pretty easy to get to. I just don't know if
sometimes people go over there and they know that they
can like actually click links that are in the show
notes and it'll take you right to everything. All right,
So what's your grab bag?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I don't fly very well. And I was on an airplane.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I can't even remember the movie I was watching, but
this was god because I was watching the movie and
the girl on the movie said we control our emotions.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And I was like, oh my god, that's genius.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
So I literally just sat there and said, Haley, you
control your emotions. And I calmed down, and I was
very grounded and aware. And I've used that so many
times now, and I've taught my daughters to do it.
And they'll be fighting or upset about something and I'm like,
say it with me. I control my emotions, and they'll
be mad. I control my emotions, and then they calmed down.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I think there is something call me about knowing we
are in control. Sometimes though I've hit another level where
I feel a little bit out of control. I don't
know if that's a hormone thing or just as a
human thing, keeping my emotions in the driver's seat. And
so that's another reminder that I tell myself. It's like, Okay,
it's okay to feel these emotions right now, and I
(26:58):
must I must feel them. However, I need them to
go to the passenger seat. They cannot be driving. And
if if I feel like my emotions are in the
driver's seat. I have to pause whatever I'm doing because
I may end up saying something that I'm going to
regret doing something that doesn't align with you know who.
I want to be back to those questions that we
can ask ourselves every day, like is my future me
(27:21):
going to thank me for this? Because I think that's
probably the best. One future of me is going to
be really mad that I let my emotions do something
and control anything.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
We shouldn't let our emotions dictate.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But we do. And then that's the way, you know, thankfully,
we can go back and apologize or unless you.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And then you're sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
So there you go. That's the OG episode with four
things inside each thing. Hailey, where can people find you?
I know we talked about your Instagram and I'm gonna
link in the show notes, but it.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Is at Haley Dollar had on all socials.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yep, boom, and then I'm at Radio Amy and like
our friend therapy Cat says, I hope y'all have the
day that you need to have and we'll see you later.
Bye bye,
