It was 149 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,119 Speaker 2: just like about ten to twelve of us. We stayed 150 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: in the house. It was very like Friday night Fibes, 151 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: which is two nights. Friday Night was like, you know, 152 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: we had a nice home cooked meal, drank some wine, 153 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 2: had some chats. Saturday we went out for a fabulous lunch. 154 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 2: Saturday night, we you know, had a game snide and 155 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: had a charcoterie board and I made pizza for everyone 156 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: and we again drank wine. And then Sunday we went 157 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: home and it wasn't like this big epic like celebration, 158 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: really you know, loud party to celebrate the thirtieth, it 159 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: was like this, that's nice, quiet kind of celebration, and 160 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: I think I've decided that that's what I want to 161 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: do for my thirtieth. I am no longer interested in 162 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: a big, stunning party with one hundred and fifty people. 163 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: I just want like five of my closest friends to 164 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: go away to a house for the weekend and just 165 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: do that. It was honestly like the best way to celebrate, 166 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: And so I'm coining the term quiet celebrations or quiet 167 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: celebrating where you can basically just celebrate but without the 168 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: big show, which is so unlike me. And then you think, 169 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: you know, because I think for a long time I 170 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: also felt guilty about not putting on a show and 171 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: celebrating lavishly, if that makes sense. Like I just thought 172 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: it's my thirtieth, like for obviously now I'm going to 173 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: have this big bash, whereas now I'm like, you know what, Actually, 174 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: one don't want to spend the money, and two it's 175 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: such a small amount of time.

But I mean I don't know if 337 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: doing it as my birthday party every extra I don't 338 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: know if that would be. Imagine if I did a 339 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: birthday party then had two separate sections VIP and all. 340 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: That idea general public that was floated around because we 341 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: were working. No shame to them, not that they're fucking 342 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: listening to close friends, but I think there was like 343 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: some events company involved in the middle of organizing it, 344 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: and they floated the idea on one of the calls 345 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: one day. I wasn't on the call, but to like 346 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: the Fate Girls saying like, we're gonna have a little 347 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: roped off section for some of the influencers, okay, And 348 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: I was like, no fucking way, Like I'm no one, 349 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: but I'm Britney Lee Saunders. If anyone's going to be 350 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: in a roped off section, it would be me. But 351 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: I would never in a million years do that. Like 352 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: ill imagine like influencers over there and the norms out there. 353 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, no fucking way. 354 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: Hose Well, I almost got my When I originally wanted 355 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: to do the big rooftop thing, the other thing that 356 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: I thought was how do I get a brand on board? 357 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: How do I get this sponsored? Because I was like, 358 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: if it's gonna cost thirty five grand to do it all, 359 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 2: then I'm going to go all. 360 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: Out and will not feel like real like I always 361 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: think when you see influencers get things sponsored like events 362 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: and weddings and shit like, does it feel like work 363 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: because maybe you have to tag them and shit. 364 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: Well, I think what would happen was because this was 365 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 2: when I was doing one hundred and fifty people, and 366 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: again it would be like fifty family, fifty friends, and 367 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: probably fifty industry is how it went in my brain, 368 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: and so basically the selling point would be, well, you're 369 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: going to have so many influencers in the room, and 370 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: you know you're branding. You know, if I wanted, like 371 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: a particular alcohol brand to sponsor the event, and we'd 372 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: have a media wall with like my logo and the 373 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: alcohol company's logo and whoever else, And I want to 374 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: red carpet with media wall, like I'm invarting the Daily Mail, 375 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: like I'm invarting Susan Mattezi.

I really 383 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 2: considered that, and then I went, it's all too hard 384 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: and I don't have the brain capacity to worry about that. 385 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,239 Speaker 2: Luxury all the way, quiet luxury, all the way.
