<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm good, but I want to hear about you.

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>You just off the plane from Japan.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>I am just off the plane from Japan. I was

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>there last week with Mechamax and jet Star to launch

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>their new cleansing barn which is called Meltdown, and we

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 2>went to Osaka in Japan, which was incredible. It was

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 2>the best week, a real treat to get out and

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>about play with skincare. It was fat.

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>My trip to Aubrey for my son's footy.

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, highs and lows, but it sounds like that actually was.

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 1>A whole Actually he made the State AFIL team. Yes,

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>so this is I will be a proud mum and

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I was very proud. Actually I nearly cried when they

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>they called his name out. So that was a whole

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>lot for.

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Me, it's amazing. We both had great weeks.

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, now what about the great week? On body insol

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 1>dot com?

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>The great week? Every week is a great week, thank you.

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>But my pick for this week is a story called

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>are you Maintenance Dating? Here's why you should be? So

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>this is a first person piece by Sarah Noonan, and

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>she usually writes for the print magazine, but she wrote

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>this one for us, and she basically explains that after

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a period of going on lots and lots of dates

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>on dating apps, she experienced real fatigue, which I think

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>is very common sentiment, like I certainly go through bouts,

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>have just been completely exhausted by the concept and I

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 2>smoke bomb for months on end. So she kind of

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>exhausted herself and then ended up doing just that and

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>going on no dates at all, didn't talk to anyone,

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>and her friend suggested she try maintenance dating. So this idea,

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>if you haven't heard of it, but for emerged just

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>after Lockdown, when for a lot of people they hadn't

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>been on a date in months, and the idea of

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>speaking to a complete stranger it was quite overwhelming, which

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I was in a relationship at the time, so I

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't have that, but that I heard from friends and things.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>The idea of just suddenly sitting with someone for hours

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.399
<v Speaker 2>on end who you haven't met, it's quite a lot.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that's a lot, anyway.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.839
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot anyway anyway. So that's where maintenance dating

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>comes in, which suggests that you go on dates with

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>people who you may not usually opt for or when

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>you're not necessarily looking for a relationship, just to grease

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the wheels, if you will, to keep your skills intact.

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 2>And it means that when you are ready to date,

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 2>the idea of getting back out there isn't so scary

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>because you've been dabbling throughout that time and you haven't

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 2>forgotten how to do it. And you know, one of

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>the great things about that is that means that you

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>might meet people who you may not have necessarily come

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>into contact with before, because you're giving people a chance

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 2>who maybe I'm a typical pick exactly. So I quite

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 2>like this concept because as someone who has taken time

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>off dating, it can feel like a really big ask

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>to get back out there. But at the same time,

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess you don't want to be wasting people's time

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>as well, and going on dates if you're not ready

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>to be in a relationship too. So yeah, it's a

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>bit of an interesting idea.

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I like it. And who knows, you might just meet

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that person that you're going to be with exactly.

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>They always say you meet them when you're not looking

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 2>for them. So maybe I'll maintenance date my way into

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>a husband.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well to hear about that, yeah, please do Well,

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>there's no segue into mind And I want to talk

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>today about this concept of nature journaling perfect balance. You

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>like that? Yes, Now, obviously we all know that journaling.

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you journal?

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>I journal in the sense that I write all my

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>thoughts down in my notes app. So I don't know

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>if we can click it absolutely maybe Yeah, yeah, I

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 2>do a brain dump.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I like that.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of brain dump y, a digital brain dump.

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, well, yes, so I journal. We know that journaling

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>has proven beneficial for mental health. However, whichever form you

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>do it pen to paper, finger.

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>To phone, finger to screen.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, and we also know that spending time in green

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>space can do wonders for our well being. Well, stick

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>them together and you have a winner, low and behold. Yes,

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>so well, the movement has taken off in the US

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>there's a new organization in Australia called the Australian Association

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>of Nature Journaling and it hopes to inspire more people

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to head outside with a pencil case and a notebook

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and record what they see.

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow. I never would have guessed that there'd be a

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>full organization for something like that.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>This is what I had to share this.

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Story because yes, continue reporting flis Well.

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>What is it all about. It's really what it says

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>on the tin. It's being in nature and journaling and

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.559
<v Speaker 1>it's all about encouraging you to see the world around

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>you different. I mean it's been like forest bathing. Really.

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>It was about to bring that up. Have you ever

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>done it?

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I have done it once in South Australia. I was

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 2>on a trip with the South Australian Tourism Commissioning Commission

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and we had to walk crownd of forest and then

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>lie under the trees and like you know, kind of

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>connect with the trees and things. It was quite an experience.

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>And amazing for your mental health.

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>It was soothing and just like being outside in the

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 2>fresh air with no people and things was nice. But

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>it was quite different from the day to day of

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 2>these hallow halls I can.

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, I mean, so imagine you're doing that in

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>South Australia, a great place to do it. But you've

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>also got a pencil case and a notebook, and it's

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>about just sitting there and drawing what you see, So

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>stopping and taking time to see what's going on around us,

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>look at the flowering plant. You can do it over

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.359
<v Speaker 1>a season and so then you can see how the

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 1>plant changes or plant as they'd say in South Australia,

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just record the whole life cycle, so

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't if you can't draw, it doesn't matter because

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>no one's going to look at your drawers. You can

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>also write about what you see, so you can kind

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>of put on a scientist's white coat and write, you know,

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to what's going on with the plan and

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>how it looks and notice things differently. And you can

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.039
<v Speaker 1>do it in your own backyard. If you live in an apartment,

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>you can do your pop plan on the randa. It's

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>just stopping and drawing and taking a closer look at

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>what you see. So forest bathing, but just with some artwork.

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I guess are you meant to talk about

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>specifically how the plants are changing or just it's really

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>up to you.

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just about getting out of your head and into nature. Really,

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and I think you know, we know that it's wondrous

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>for well being. But the other thing, when you're drawing,

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>it builds I hand and brain connections. So because when

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and I suppose the other things, it's encouraging you to

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>step away from the phone and not be there with

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>your phone taking a picture. Yes, so you can actually,

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>which is so easy. So put the phone away.

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Getting back to Darwinian roots and drawing. Well, okay, drawing

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the birds and what are the finches in the glapa?

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Guess isn't that what he did? Oh?

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>That just you know your history?

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, god holy it was my one year of

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>biology that I did at NAR before I realized that

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I was a writer.

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Because when I was writing, when I was thinking about

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>this story, I thought I am a terrible artist, but

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm good at writing. Yeah, person writing, I'm going to

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>give it a go.

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>You should. Let's both give it a crack and we'll

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>talk about it in next week.

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, just quickly before we go, what was the most

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>clicked story of the week.

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Most clicked story was the common smoothie mistake you're probably making.

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>So who knew you could really go wrong with a

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 2>smoothie that. I thought it was kind of chop and blend,

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>which usually I think most people follow a similar process,

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>blending up the fruit, adding milk or water, coconut something

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>like that. However, new research shows that blending two of

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the most popular smoothie ingredients could be impacting their nutritional value.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what are they?

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 2>You'll have to click through to see what they are.

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 2>But they're fruits. They're two popular fruits, and when you

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>blend them, it reduces their nutrient value, which you know.

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes there's that kind of school of thought that you

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.800
