27
00:01:24,345 --> 00:01:28,145
Speaker 4: So, Kim Kardashian has just launched something pretty crazy faux

28
00:01:28,145 --> 00:01:31,225
Speaker 4: hair micro string thongs, and it's basically a Skims branded

29
00:01:31,225 --> 00:01:33,305
Speaker 4: G string with pubic hair on the front of it

30
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:33,785
Speaker 4: sewn in.

31
00:01:34,025 --> 00:01:34,225
Speaker 1: Yeah.

32
00:01:34,265 --> 00:01:35,825
Speaker 5: I feel like this is the beauty news of the week.

33
00:01:35,825 --> 00:01:37,985
Speaker 5: I couldn't wait to talk about it. I woke up,

34
00:01:38,025 --> 00:01:40,465
Speaker 5: I checked my group chat that was blowing up. All

35
00:01:40,505 --> 00:01:42,585
Speaker 5: of my friends were like, what is going on? Then

36
00:01:42,585 --> 00:01:44,665
Speaker 5: I went to Instagram and the comments were very much

37
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:47,105
Speaker 5: the same. It was is this an amazing marketing stunt

38
00:01:47,145 --> 00:01:49,785
Speaker 5: again from the Kardashians or is this April falls?

39
00:01:49,905 --> 00:01:50,465
Speaker 1: Is this a joke?

40
00:01:50,745 --> 00:01:54,105
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, And it's not a prank unfortunately or unfortunately,

41
00:01:54,105 --> 00:01:55,145
Speaker 4: depending on what you think of it.

42
00:01:55,145 --> 00:01:55,745
Speaker 1: It is legit.

43
00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:58,345
Speaker 4: It's called a faux hem micro string thong, which is

44
00:01:58,345 --> 00:02:01,305
Speaker 4: basically a Skim's G string with faux pubic hare sewn

45
00:02:01,425 --> 00:02:02,145
Speaker 4: onto the front of it.

46
00:02:02,265 --> 00:02:02,825
Speaker 1: So random.

47
00:02:03,025 --> 00:02:05,305
Speaker 5: Yes, when I first saw photos, I couldn't believe it.

48
00:02:05,345 --> 00:02:06,825
Speaker 5: And then I saw that there was a whole range

49
00:02:06,825 --> 00:02:09,905
Speaker 5: and there was different colors and different textures, Whi's just

50
00:02:09,945 --> 00:02:12,225
Speaker 5: kind of cool, but also I just thought insane. And

51
00:02:12,385 --> 00:02:14,225
Speaker 5: you know, Kim's done something like this before where she's

52
00:02:14,265 --> 00:02:16,585
Speaker 5: done the nipple bras, and I get that more, but

53
00:02:16,665 --> 00:02:18,945
Speaker 5: this one just felt a little bit too far.

54
00:02:18,825 --> 00:02:19,385
Speaker 1: Fetched for me.

55
00:02:19,625 --> 00:02:21,705
Speaker 4: It was a big step. The nipple bras were fun.

56
00:02:21,825 --> 00:02:24,345
Speaker 4: I think faux pubic hair is very interesting. But then

57
00:02:24,585 --> 00:02:26,425
Speaker 4: in saying that there has been such a revival of

58
00:02:26,465 --> 00:02:28,505
Speaker 4: pubic hair in public culture, I'm not sure if you've

59
00:02:28,545 --> 00:02:31,225
Speaker 4: seen like all the chat going on TikTok Bush's back,

60
00:02:31,305 --> 00:02:34,025
Speaker 4: so Bush's back and Vogue literally titled a story called

61
00:02:34,025 --> 00:02:36,705
Speaker 4: the Bushes Back in twenty twenty five, which is wild

62
00:02:36,745 --> 00:02:39,785
Speaker 4: and Mason Margela on their runway recently they had like

63
00:02:39,865 --> 00:02:42,985
Speaker 4: models with pubic hair running down the runway I suppose, So, yeah,

64
00:02:42,985 --> 00:02:45,425
Speaker 4: it's all happening. It's a pubic hair department at the moment,

65
00:02:45,745 --> 00:02:48,545
Speaker 4: and so so I'm interested for you and your you know,

66
00:02:48,585 --> 00:02:50,625
Speaker 4: your group chat. Do people think this is just a

67
00:02:50,665 --> 00:02:51,465
Speaker 4: marketing thing.

68
00:02:51,665 --> 00:02:53,705
Speaker 5: Well, what I was surprised about is when they said

69
00:02:53,705 --> 00:02:55,785
Speaker 5: that it was sold out, does that mean that there

70
00:02:55,825 --> 00:02:57,865
Speaker 5: was only thirty for sale and that's why it's sold out?

71
00:02:57,865 --> 00:03:00,385
Speaker 5: Because I just can't. I can't imagine me or any

72
00:03:00,385 --> 00:03:01,705
Speaker 5: of my friends buying this.

73
00:03:02,065 --> 00:03:04,425
Speaker 4: Yes, I think it is that like Skim's Effects that

74
00:03:04,465 --> 00:03:07,305
Speaker 4: we kind of We've spoken about this before, but everybody's

75
00:03:07,305 --> 00:03:09,985
Speaker 4: obsessed with whatever she has to launch, especially if it

76
00:03:10,065 --> 00:03:12,745
Speaker 4: is like kind of rogue like the nipple bra that

77
00:03:12,785 --> 00:03:15,265
Speaker 4: also sold out. So I think it's just the Skim's

78
00:03:15,265 --> 00:03:16,865
Speaker 4: effect that's selling it out. I feel like they would

79
00:03:16,865 --> 00:03:19,385
Speaker 4: have made more than thirty. But yeah, it's interesting to

80
00:03:19,385 --> 00:03:21,025
Speaker 4: see it fly off the shelves so quickly when it

81
00:03:21,065 --> 00:03:21,985
Speaker 4: is so avant garde.

82
00:03:22,105 --> 00:03:24,025
Speaker 5: Yeah, and either way, they got us on their website

83
00:03:24,025 --> 00:03:24,825
Speaker 5: looking at all the other.

84
00:03:24,665 --> 00:03:26,425
Speaker 1: Products, so exactly.

85
00:03:26,545 --> 00:03:28,665
Speaker 4: I mean, the Kardashians know what they're doing when it

86
00:03:28,665 --> 00:03:30,985
Speaker 4: comes to marketing, and like Mama is like Chris, they

87
00:03:31,105 --> 00:03:33,225
Speaker 4: know what they're doing. So I really think she's taken

88
00:03:33,265 --> 00:03:34,865
Speaker 4: a page out of Chris's book for this one.

89
00:03:35,105 --> 00:03:37,545
Speaker 5: Okay, and speaking of Chris, did you see her new hairstyle?

90
00:03:37,625 --> 00:03:40,065
Speaker 5: She went from her iconic hairstyle that everyone knows her

91
00:03:40,105 --> 00:03:41,425
Speaker 5: from two blonde.

92
00:03:41,585 --> 00:03:43,745
Speaker 4: Literally, I don't know about you, but I didn't absolutely

93
00:03:43,745 --> 00:03:45,865
Speaker 4: double take when I saw the photos. She was at

94
00:03:45,865 --> 00:03:48,145
Speaker 4: an event also with her daughter, Yes, so they both

95
00:03:48,185 --> 00:03:51,945
Speaker 4: had similar cropped Bob's hairfels and Chris's was really super

96
00:03:51,945 --> 00:03:54,425
Speaker 4: blonde and Kim's was black. But it was so interesting

97
00:03:54,465 --> 00:03:56,305
Speaker 4: to me looking at them side by side, I was like,

98
00:03:56,345 --> 00:03:58,105
Speaker 4: these two are literally identical.

99
00:03:58,145 --> 00:03:58,705
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

100
00:03:58,785 --> 00:04:00,985
Speaker 5: Ever since Chris Scott had face lived too, they couldn't

101
00:04:01,025 --> 00:04:02,705
Speaker 5: look more like twins exactly.

102
00:04:02,825 --> 00:04:06,345
Speaker 4: And also interestingly, it was Kim's hairstylist, Chris Appleton, who

103
00:04:06,345 --> 00:04:08,545
Speaker 4: did the look, so I also think you can tell

104
00:04:08,585 --> 00:04:10,865
Speaker 4: that that similar touch was across both of the looks,

105
00:04:10,905 --> 00:04:13,065
Speaker 4: which is crazy. But so I don't know if this

106
00:04:13,105 --> 00:04:14,785
Speaker 4: one's here to stay. If I'm honest, she.

107
00:04:14,825 --> 00:04:16,625
Speaker 5: Came out and said blondes have more fun than that

108
00:04:16,625 --> 00:04:18,225
Speaker 5: she was going to try it, But yes, I feel

109
00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:20,945
Speaker 5: like she's just grown to suit that hairstyle and we

110
00:04:20,985 --> 00:04:22,425
Speaker 5: can't not know her wearing that hairstyle.

111
00:04:22,505 --> 00:04:24,345
Speaker 4: It's not the first time we've seen a Kardashian do

112
00:04:24,385 --> 00:04:26,225
Speaker 4: a crazy hair transition, but it is the first time

113
00:04:26,225 --> 00:04:26,705
Speaker 4: for Chris.

114
00:04:26,785 --> 00:04:27,025
Speaker 1: Yeah.

115
00:04:27,065 --> 00:04:29,305
Speaker 5: So obviously we've got Kylie always changing her hair, Kim

116
00:04:29,345 --> 00:04:31,385
Speaker 5: always changing her hair, it feels like it's every week.

117
00:04:31,545 --> 00:04:33,625
Speaker 5: But with Chris, Yeah, we've never seen her do a

118
00:04:33,665 --> 00:04:35,665
Speaker 5: b transformation like this. So it's like, is this a

119
00:04:35,705 --> 00:04:37,065
Speaker 5: week or is this here to stay?

120
00:04:37,265 --> 00:04:38,745
Speaker 1: I think it's a weig if I'm honest.

121
00:04:38,785 --> 00:04:41,025
Speaker 4: I mean, I had another cheeky look at her grid

122
00:04:41,025 --> 00:04:43,225
Speaker 4: this morning and she was back to her classic brunette.

123
00:04:43,225 --> 00:04:44,865
Speaker 4: So I feel like a flash in the pan. But

124
00:04:44,865 --> 00:04:46,425
Speaker 4: at least she got to live life as a blonde

125
00:04:46,425 --> 00:04:48,025
Speaker 4: for a day. So if there's a new tool I

126
00:04:48,065 --> 00:04:51,665
Speaker 4: need to talk about desperately, it's Shark's Facial Proglow. Very

127
00:04:51,665 --> 00:04:54,785
Speaker 4: fancy name, but it's growing absolutely nuts on TikTok, and

128
00:04:54,825 --> 00:04:56,145
Speaker 4: we need to discuss.

129
00:04:55,945 --> 00:04:56,905
Speaker 1: Okay, and what does it do.

130
00:04:57,425 --> 00:05:00,945
Speaker 4: So basically, it's kind of not a departure for Shark

131
00:05:01,025 --> 00:05:03,825
Speaker 4: considering they're a vacuum brand first, so it's kind of

132
00:05:03,865 --> 00:05:06,345
Speaker 4: similar to a hydrofacial tool in that it vacuums out

133
00:05:06,345 --> 00:05:08,385
Speaker 4: all the gunk from your paws. But it also has

134
00:05:08,425 --> 00:05:10,505
Speaker 4: like a heating and cooling element where WI can deepaf

135
00:05:10,585 --> 00:05:13,585
Speaker 4: and sculpt the skin. So it's being marketed as a

136
00:05:13,665 --> 00:05:16,105
Speaker 4: facial from home, which is interesting considering that we all

137
00:05:16,145 --> 00:05:17,825
Speaker 4: did that during COVID for so long.

138
00:05:17,945 --> 00:05:20,945
Speaker 5: Yeah. See that scares me because I don't understand that side,

139
00:05:20,985 --> 00:05:23,065
Speaker 5: and I'd love to go and get facials and relax.

140
00:05:23,345 --> 00:05:25,625
Speaker 5: So the thought of me doing it myself at home

141
00:05:25,945 --> 00:05:28,025
Speaker 5: that scares me because I just wouldn't trust myself to

142
00:05:28,065 --> 00:05:28,985
Speaker 5: do a facial at home.

143
00:05:29,025 --> 00:05:30,145
Speaker 1: And when I've seen lots.

144
00:05:29,945 --> 00:05:32,465
Speaker 5: Of influencers online using it, there just seems like there's

145
00:05:32,505 --> 00:05:34,585
Speaker 5: lots of different steps, lots of different parts to it.

146
00:05:34,865 --> 00:05:37,305
Speaker 5: And I keep remembering that I own the Shark Flex

147
00:05:37,305 --> 00:05:39,065
Speaker 5: blow dry tool and it's been a year and I

148
00:05:39,105 --> 00:05:41,225
Speaker 5: still don't understand how to properly use that. So I

149
00:05:41,265 --> 00:05:43,265
Speaker 5: can't see this being great for me, but I can

150
00:05:43,305 --> 00:05:44,945
Speaker 5: see it being great for someone like you who is

151
00:05:45,105 --> 00:05:45,985
Speaker 5: very savvy.

152
00:05:46,545 --> 00:05:48,705
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a good point, so because they are

153
00:05:48,785 --> 00:05:50,905
Speaker 4: quite confusing, and there are so many elements to the

154
00:05:50,905 --> 00:05:52,865
Speaker 4: Shark tools, and I think that's what makes the Flex

155
00:05:52,905 --> 00:05:55,545
Speaker 4: style so good but also so confusing, because you really

156
00:05:55,625 --> 00:05:57,225
Speaker 4: have to know like what each thing does and you

157
00:05:57,225 --> 00:05:58,505
Speaker 4: have to like put in the time and effort to

158
00:05:58,505 --> 00:06:00,865
Speaker 4: perfect it. And I would say that the Shark proglow

159
00:06:00,945 --> 00:06:02,825
Speaker 4: is probably going to be the same and that you're

160
00:06:02,825 --> 00:06:04,585
Speaker 4: going to have to spend some time figuring out.

161
00:06:04,985 --> 00:06:06,385
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I don't really.

162
00:06:06,225 --> 00:06:08,065
Speaker 4: Like people touching my face that don't know my skin

163
00:06:08,065 --> 00:06:10,025
Speaker 4: because it's very sensitive and I just know what up

164
00:06:10,065 --> 00:06:10,945
Speaker 4: so I'm keen.

165
00:06:10,785 --> 00:06:11,265
Speaker 1: To try it.

166
00:06:11,505 --> 00:06:14,025
Speaker 4: But yeah, at this stage, I think it is for

167
00:06:14,105 --> 00:06:16,505
Speaker 4: more people that are getting facials regularly and maybe just

168
00:06:16,545 --> 00:06:18,585
Speaker 4: want an easy one from home, rather than just like

169
00:06:18,585 --> 00:06:21,145
Speaker 4: the average skin care kind of person that wants to

170
00:06:21,145 --> 00:06:21,665
Speaker 4: get into it.

171
00:06:21,945 --> 00:06:23,425
Speaker 5: Okay, so I'm assuming it's expensive.

172
00:06:23,425 --> 00:06:25,545
Speaker 1: How much is it? Yeah, it is quite a lot.

173
00:06:25,665 --> 00:06:27,665
Speaker 4: So it's retailing in the US at the moment. It's

174
00:06:27,745 --> 00:06:30,305
Speaker 4: not available in Australia yet. But knowing Shark, I'd say

175
00:06:30,345 --> 00:06:33,225
Speaker 4: it's coming for four hundred dollars USD, which is around

176
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,465
Speaker 4: six hundred AED, so it's going to cost you a

177
00:06:35,505 --> 00:06:36,105
Speaker 4: pretty penny.

178
00:06:36,145 --> 00:06:37,105
Speaker 1: It's going to set you back.

179
00:06:37,505 --> 00:06:39,785
Speaker 4: I think for people that are already doing regular facials,

180
00:06:39,785 --> 00:06:41,145
Speaker 4: I mean they can be like two hundred.

181
00:06:40,865 --> 00:06:42,145
Speaker 1: Bucks, so that seems good.

182
00:06:42,305 --> 00:06:44,265
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's actually quite a bargain for them. But if

183
00:06:44,305 --> 00:06:46,585
Speaker 4: you're not already doing that, it is a big upfront cost.

184
00:06:46,625 --> 00:06:48,025
Speaker 4: I'd say, I mean, I don't know, what do you think?

185
00:06:48,025 --> 00:06:50,305
Speaker 5: So honestly, right now, I don't think that this is

186
00:06:50,305 --> 00:06:53,265
Speaker 5: something that I will purchase, especially if it's six hundred dollars.

187
00:06:53,305 --> 00:06:55,505
Speaker 5: But that's what I said about an led face mask

188
00:06:55,585 --> 00:06:57,305
Speaker 5: and that is what I want on my blush list

189
00:06:57,385 --> 00:06:59,145
Speaker 5: for Christmas. So I feel like in a year's time,

190
00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:01,025
Speaker 5: who knows what will be exactly.

191
00:07:01,065 --> 00:07:02,305
Speaker 4: I think it's one of those tools that's going to

192
00:07:02,305 --> 00:07:04,465
Speaker 4: take some education. It's going to take some time, but

193
00:07:04,785 --> 00:07:06,865
Speaker 4: eventually we might be on the bandwagon. I mean, lots

194
00:07:06,905 --> 00:07:09,105
Speaker 4: of the influences of people in America trying it are

195
00:07:09,145 --> 00:07:11,625
Speaker 4: loving it, so I'm really interested. They're saying it reduces

196
00:07:11,625 --> 00:07:13,945
Speaker 4: poor size in one go, so it might be easier

197
00:07:13,945 --> 00:07:14,425
Speaker 4: than we think.

198
00:07:14,505 --> 00:07:17,185
Speaker 1: So let's watch this space. That's a being a goss

199
00:07:17,225 --> 00:07:17,705
Speaker 1: for this week.

200
00:07:17,745 --> 00:07:20,305
Speaker 4: Guys, let's get back into your dilemmas of Kelly and Amy.

201
00:07:20,665 --> 00:07:24,825
Speaker 3: Okay, so question number one is the friend makeup artist dilemma.

202
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:30,185
Speaker 3: Now Lauren DM dust asking help, my help. My friend

203
00:07:30,225 --> 00:07:33,185
Speaker 3: is a makeup artist and has done everyone's wedding makeup

204
00:07:33,185 --> 00:07:35,425
Speaker 3: in our group, and I think she's just assuming she'll

205
00:07:35,465 --> 00:07:39,305
Speaker 3: do mine. The thing is, I really want a more subtle,

206
00:07:39,425 --> 00:07:42,545
Speaker 3: natural look for my big day and her style is well,

207
00:07:42,585 --> 00:07:44,745
Speaker 3: it's a lot. How do I let her down gently

208
00:07:44,785 --> 00:07:48,625
Speaker 3: without causing a friendship catastrophe? Is there a way to

209
00:07:48,705 --> 00:07:50,425
Speaker 3: get out of this without hurting her?

210
00:07:50,665 --> 00:07:51,305
Speaker 1: Feelings.

211
00:07:51,665 --> 00:07:57,225
Speaker 2: Gosh, weddings tensions are hard people here, Yeah, they do

212
00:07:57,505 --> 00:08:01,785
Speaker 2: like the worst. Yes, and you can lose friendships over weddings. Thankfully,

213
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:09,345
Speaker 2: I haven't the story for another time not podcast appropriate.

214
00:08:09,785 --> 00:08:12,825
Speaker 2: So basically what I would say, there's a few things

215
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:15,665
Speaker 2: that I need to know from Lauren. But I'm hoping

216
00:08:15,745 --> 00:08:18,945
Speaker 2: that her wedding isn't in like two weeks two weeks time,

217
00:08:19,585 --> 00:08:21,865
Speaker 2: or even a few two months time. I'm hoping that

218
00:08:21,905 --> 00:08:23,185
Speaker 2: we're like a year out here.

219
00:08:23,505 --> 00:08:27,705
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe she's just gotten engaged and she's already freaking.

220
00:08:27,345 --> 00:08:27,945
Speaker 1: Out about it.

221
00:08:28,105 --> 00:08:29,705
Speaker 2: Yes, I think straight.

222
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:31,225
Speaker 3: Off the bat, you need to at least give her

223
00:08:31,225 --> 00:08:34,105
Speaker 3: a try first. I think that's kind of mean. If

224
00:08:34,145 --> 00:08:36,865
Speaker 3: you don't at the very least give your friend a try.

225
00:08:36,785 --> 00:08:40,545
Speaker 2: Well, step one would just be in conversation. Yeah, I

226
00:08:40,585 --> 00:08:43,145
Speaker 2: need to start organizing my wedding makeup. See if the

227
00:08:43,185 --> 00:08:46,425
Speaker 2: friend first is like, oh, I'd love to do it,

228
00:08:46,945 --> 00:08:49,345
Speaker 2: And then if that's then you go, okay, cool, Let's

229
00:08:49,345 --> 00:08:52,305
Speaker 2: start having some trials. Let's start having a play, give

230
00:08:52,345 --> 00:08:55,065
Speaker 2: her a go, like, take lots of reference. I actually

231
00:08:55,065 --> 00:08:57,065
Speaker 2: for my wedding makeup had a friend to do it.

232
00:08:57,105 --> 00:08:59,705
Speaker 2: I know you did your own I had a colleague

233
00:08:59,825 --> 00:09:02,545
Speaker 2: do it, which is actually like an extra layer of like, well, shit,

234
00:09:02,585 --> 00:09:05,625
Speaker 2: this could get awkward. Yeah if it's no good. But

235
00:09:06,225 --> 00:09:08,425
Speaker 2: because we lived in the same state and because we

236
00:09:08,425 --> 00:09:10,785
Speaker 2: were friends, the up side is we could do as

237
00:09:10,785 --> 00:09:13,905
Speaker 2: many trials as we wanted, so I reckon we did

238
00:09:14,745 --> 00:09:19,465
Speaker 2: maybe four separate occasions. And also because it was like, okay,

239
00:09:19,505 --> 00:09:21,825
Speaker 2: the first time we did just the full look and

240
00:09:21,905 --> 00:09:24,065
Speaker 2: I was like, this is what I I like.

241
00:09:24,065 --> 00:09:25,425
Speaker 1: This, this is what I don't like.

242
00:09:25,705 --> 00:09:28,665
Speaker 2: Also what I thought I would like changed, So you know,

243
00:09:28,785 --> 00:09:31,785
Speaker 2: I had all these reference shots that I really wanted

244
00:09:31,825 --> 00:09:36,945
Speaker 2: that tiny little eyeliner flick, and I just don't love

245
00:09:36,985 --> 00:09:40,025
Speaker 2: how I look with heavy eye makeup or eyeliner. But

246
00:09:40,105 --> 00:09:42,145
Speaker 2: I thought, I don't know why, but all my reference

247
00:09:42,305 --> 00:09:45,145
Speaker 2: shots had a little wing and all of this. So

248
00:09:45,185 --> 00:09:47,585
Speaker 2: we did that. We did for my hens. She came

249
00:09:47,625 --> 00:09:51,585
Speaker 2: and did make up, and we did like another foundation trial.

250
00:09:51,745 --> 00:09:53,665
Speaker 2: So like that's the upside.

251
00:09:53,225 --> 00:09:56,905
Speaker 3: Too, So like it's not going to cost you money, no, exactly,

252
00:09:57,065 --> 00:09:59,065
Speaker 3: take over a bottle of wine and be like, let's

253
00:09:59,065 --> 00:10:00,705
Speaker 3: get ready for this event together, and can you do

254
00:10:00,745 --> 00:10:05,065
Speaker 3: my makeup so we can do a trial? Yeah, I think, yeah,

255
00:10:05,065 --> 00:10:06,825
Speaker 3: I definitely think she needs to give her a go

256
00:10:07,025 --> 00:10:10,145
Speaker 3: at the very least with a couple of trials, because

257
00:10:10,585 --> 00:10:13,185
Speaker 3: she is a makeup artist, so therefore she should be

258
00:10:13,225 --> 00:10:15,825
Speaker 3: able to dial it back a little bit and sort

259
00:10:15,825 --> 00:10:18,265
Speaker 3: of work with the client, which is that self. So

260
00:10:18,345 --> 00:10:21,625
Speaker 3: maybe all of your friends requested a heavier look, or

261
00:10:21,625 --> 00:10:23,465
Speaker 3: maybe a lot of brides that she has worked with

262
00:10:23,585 --> 00:10:24,665
Speaker 3: wanted that heavier look.

263
00:10:24,785 --> 00:10:25,425
Speaker 1: Yeah.

264
00:10:25,465 --> 00:10:28,065
Speaker 3: Also, it's worth noting we've had to discuss this before

265
00:10:28,065 --> 00:10:30,345
Speaker 3: on podcasts. Even if you don't like makeup and don't

266
00:10:30,425 --> 00:10:34,625
Speaker 3: like wearing much makeup, if you want to look outstanding

267
00:10:34,665 --> 00:10:36,345
Speaker 3: in your photos, you need to wear more makeup than

268
00:10:36,345 --> 00:10:36,905
Speaker 3: you usually would.

269
00:10:36,905 --> 00:10:38,225
Speaker 1: Otherwise it just doesn't photograph.

270
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:40,945
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is something you need to get comfortable

271
00:10:41,025 --> 00:10:44,705
Speaker 2: with exactly. I would also recommend, just in general, is

272
00:10:44,745 --> 00:10:47,425
Speaker 2: whether you've got a few events beforehand, or even if

273
00:10:47,465 --> 00:10:49,505
Speaker 2: you just got a dinner or something like, go and

274
00:10:49,905 --> 00:10:51,905
Speaker 2: get your makeup done at Mecca or like go and

275
00:10:52,425 --> 00:10:55,265
Speaker 2: or just apply more makeup than you would to get

276
00:10:55,385 --> 00:10:57,825
Speaker 2: used to how you look with that much makeup on.

277
00:10:57,985 --> 00:11:01,305
Speaker 2: That is such a good tip because otherwise you're gonna

278
00:11:01,305 --> 00:11:04,225
Speaker 2: look in the mirror and it's like school. I remember

279
00:11:04,225 --> 00:11:07,265
Speaker 2: having this with school formal going and getting my makeup

280
00:11:07,305 --> 00:11:09,025
Speaker 2: done and then looking in the mirror and being like,

281
00:11:09,385 --> 00:11:10,945
Speaker 2: I I've got a mask on.

282
00:11:10,985 --> 00:11:11,545
Speaker 1: What the hell?

283
00:11:11,745 --> 00:11:14,345
Speaker 3: And you feel gross because you feel all the products

284
00:11:14,425 --> 00:11:14,705
Speaker 3: on you.

285
00:11:15,145 --> 00:11:16,745
Speaker 2: You just feel like people are looking at you and

286
00:11:16,785 --> 00:11:19,225
Speaker 2: be like, she's got so much makeup on, but do

287
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:21,505
Speaker 2: all of that? And then what I would say? So,

288
00:11:21,625 --> 00:11:24,865
Speaker 2: let's say you've done all that. Also, wedding makeup is

289
00:11:24,945 --> 00:11:28,905
Speaker 2: so expensive. If you've got a mate who can do

290
00:11:28,985 --> 00:11:33,785
Speaker 2: it for a great discount, take up that offer, because

291
00:11:33,785 --> 00:11:35,625
Speaker 2: there's so many other things that you have to spend

292
00:11:35,665 --> 00:11:39,945
Speaker 2: your money on. Okay, So what happens if she's done

293
00:11:39,945 --> 00:11:45,705
Speaker 2: the trials and the communications just not communicating, it's just

294
00:11:45,745 --> 00:11:46,385
Speaker 2: not working out.

295
00:11:46,745 --> 00:11:49,505
Speaker 3: What would you do in that case? At the end

296
00:11:49,545 --> 00:11:52,345
Speaker 3: of the day, it's her wedding, so of course she

297
00:11:52,385 --> 00:11:55,665
Speaker 3: should have the makeup that she wants. I do think

298
00:11:55,705 --> 00:11:58,025
Speaker 3: that other makeup artists are probably going to do heavier

299
00:11:58,025 --> 00:11:59,905
Speaker 3: makeup too, given that it is your wedding.

300
00:12:00,025 --> 00:12:01,145
Speaker 1: But if you find.

301
00:12:00,865 --> 00:12:02,705
Speaker 3: Someone, you go and do a trial and you absolutely

302
00:12:02,705 --> 00:12:04,185
Speaker 3: love them, then I think that you just need to

303
00:12:04,185 --> 00:12:08,425
Speaker 3: be honest with your friend and just say, hey, love

304
00:12:08,465 --> 00:12:11,225
Speaker 3: you so much. But I'm going to go with this

305
00:12:11,265 --> 00:12:14,345
Speaker 3: person just because it is more suited to my face

306
00:12:14,425 --> 00:12:18,425
Speaker 3: or whatnot. And like, yes, your friend might be hurt,

307
00:12:18,545 --> 00:12:21,145
Speaker 3: but I'm sure she will like it's your wedding, so

308
00:12:21,385 --> 00:12:23,025
Speaker 3: and at least she doesn't have to worry about doing

309
00:12:23,025 --> 00:12:23,425
Speaker 3: anything on.

310
00:12:23,425 --> 00:12:25,905
Speaker 2: The day exactly. Or I was going to say if

311
00:12:25,985 --> 00:12:28,345
Speaker 2: you didn't, if you would just really like, Okay, I don't.

312
00:12:28,505 --> 00:12:32,105
Speaker 2: I just know that it's not the vibe. And sometimes

313
00:12:32,385 --> 00:12:34,945
Speaker 2: sometimes that's the case. But let's just say you know

314
00:12:35,025 --> 00:12:37,185
Speaker 2: that it's not going to be the vibe that you want.

315
00:12:39,025 --> 00:12:41,985
Speaker 2: Ask her if she would do like your mom's make up,

316
00:12:42,025 --> 00:12:44,305
Speaker 2: the mother of the groom or like you know.

317
00:12:44,265 --> 00:12:46,305
Speaker 3: And you're just giving her more work to do, but

318
00:12:46,425 --> 00:12:48,065
Speaker 3: like not the glory of the bride.

319
00:12:48,825 --> 00:12:50,785
Speaker 2: But maybe she just maybe the friend just wants to

320
00:12:50,865 --> 00:12:53,505
Speaker 2: be involved and wants to feel like she's a part

321
00:12:53,545 --> 00:12:54,945
Speaker 2: of the day. Like I don't know if this is

322
00:12:54,985 --> 00:12:57,625
Speaker 2: like a bridesmaid level friend we're talking about, if she's

323
00:12:57,625 --> 00:13:00,945
Speaker 2: a bridesmaid, just be like I need you on other things.

324
00:13:01,585 --> 00:13:03,265
Speaker 2: I want you. Oh yeah, make her.

325
00:13:03,185 --> 00:13:06,745
Speaker 1: A bridesmaid so she doesn't do perfect okay.

326
00:13:06,505 --> 00:13:08,505
Speaker 2: And then you're actually the maid of honor now you're.

327
00:13:08,345 --> 00:13:11,345
Speaker 3: Actually you can do all of the other bridesmaids makeup,

328
00:13:11,385 --> 00:13:13,025
Speaker 3: but I just I want you to focus on all

329
00:13:13,065 --> 00:13:13,265
Speaker 3: of that.

330
00:13:13,945 --> 00:13:15,945
Speaker 1: I'll have someone else just to do mine.

331
00:13:16,265 --> 00:13:18,465
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're doing her a favor.

332
00:13:18,625 --> 00:13:20,465
Speaker 1: Yeah you are. You're just such a good friend.

333
00:13:20,545 --> 00:13:32,305
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, solved next. All right, So our second dilemma

334
00:13:33,105 --> 00:13:36,505
Speaker 2: the ex's skincare products. I mean, I think this one

335
00:13:36,545 --> 00:13:38,345
Speaker 2: will take about two seconds to answer. Let's get the

336
00:13:38,345 --> 00:13:42,425
Speaker 2: both of us were just like so our next admission

337
00:13:42,585 --> 00:13:45,945
Speaker 2: is anonymous from Melbourne. Also, can I just say Lauren?

338
00:13:45,985 --> 00:13:48,545
Speaker 2: I hope that's a fake name, because I wonder if

339
00:13:48,585 --> 00:13:52,665
Speaker 2: she's going to be easily identifiable Anyways, that's not our problem.

340
00:13:52,705 --> 00:13:53,505
Speaker 1: It's not our problem.

341
00:13:53,625 --> 00:13:56,145
Speaker 3: So the makeup articxt friend listens to this episode, it's like,

342
00:13:56,145 --> 00:13:56,985
Speaker 3: what the back.

343
00:13:56,825 --> 00:14:03,105
Speaker 2: At our anonymous mate from Melbourne says, my boyfriend and

344
00:14:03,145 --> 00:14:06,745
Speaker 2: I recently broke up condolences, and he left all of

345
00:14:06,785 --> 00:14:09,145
Speaker 2: his skincare products at my place. We're talking a bunch

346
00:14:09,225 --> 00:14:12,025
Speaker 2: of super expensive stuff and I'm not gonna lie. I've

347
00:14:12,065 --> 00:14:14,465
Speaker 2: been using it. I'm now completely hooked on his face

348
00:14:14,705 --> 00:14:17,665
Speaker 2: wash and serums. Should I just keep it or do

349
00:14:17,745 --> 00:14:19,545
Speaker 2: I need to offer to give it back. I feel

350
00:14:19,545 --> 00:14:22,145
Speaker 2: like a total thief. And also I really want to

351
00:14:22,185 --> 00:14:23,825
Speaker 2: keep it. He did me dirty at the end of

352
00:14:23,865 --> 00:14:27,745
Speaker 2: the relationship. You're using it like you're keeping it?

353
00:14:27,745 --> 00:14:28,785
Speaker 1: Is she anonymous?

354
00:14:29,145 --> 00:14:30,105
Speaker 2: Yeah?

355
00:14:29,825 --> 00:14:34,905
Speaker 1: Anon, you're an overthinker. I think, who, oh my goodness,

356
00:14:34,945 --> 00:14:38,545
Speaker 1: they're yours. Who cares? Not a chance? Are you giving

357
00:14:38,585 --> 00:14:39,505
Speaker 1: those back? No?

358
00:14:39,625 --> 00:14:42,065
Speaker 2: And also, you know what you're not doing. You're not

359
00:14:42,225 --> 00:14:45,305
Speaker 2: reaching out to him to ask if he would like

360
00:14:45,345 --> 00:14:46,065
Speaker 2: it back.

361
00:14:45,865 --> 00:14:48,505
Speaker 3: His expensive skincare products back. Well, you're gonna then give

362
00:14:48,545 --> 00:14:49,425
Speaker 3: them back half empty.

363
00:14:49,545 --> 00:14:49,865
Speaker 1: Sorry.

364
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:54,225
Speaker 2: If it was like he'd left his iPad, yeah, or

365
00:14:54,305 --> 00:14:58,305
Speaker 2: like his simply hold, or like an heirloom piece of jewelry,

366
00:14:58,345 --> 00:15:02,185
Speaker 2: like maybe if you're going to be the bigger person. No,

367
00:15:02,385 --> 00:15:04,785
Speaker 2: absolutely not. I also want to know what it was.

368
00:15:04,985 --> 00:15:07,865
Speaker 2: I'm really curious as to what the products were, So

369
00:15:07,905 --> 00:15:10,225
Speaker 2: if Anon wants to just follow that up, let us know.

370
00:15:11,305 --> 00:15:13,065
Speaker 2: Just because it's a bit pervian, I want to know.

371
00:15:13,145 --> 00:15:17,105
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are these amazing expensive skincare products. If he

372
00:15:17,185 --> 00:15:19,385
Speaker 3: ever does get in touch and asks them back, you

373
00:15:19,425 --> 00:15:22,425
Speaker 3: can either A just not respond because you don't owe

374
00:15:22,545 --> 00:15:25,305
Speaker 3: him anything, or B just be like, oh, it was

375
00:15:25,385 --> 00:15:27,105
Speaker 3: just your staff and I don't think you want it,

376
00:15:27,105 --> 00:15:29,825
Speaker 3: so I chucked it out. You owe him nothing, No,

377
00:15:29,985 --> 00:15:33,145
Speaker 3: owe him absolutely nothing. No, he's clearly taken part of

378
00:15:33,185 --> 00:15:36,865
Speaker 3: your time, potentially some of your dignity, your heart, take

379
00:15:36,945 --> 00:15:37,625
Speaker 3: his skincare.

380
00:15:37,705 --> 00:15:41,385
Speaker 2: And also he probably found out about those products through you,

381
00:15:42,025 --> 00:15:46,625
Speaker 2: as in like he probably learned about skincare by being

382
00:15:46,625 --> 00:15:49,185
Speaker 2: with you. It's always the way we trained them up,

383
00:15:49,385 --> 00:15:52,265
Speaker 2: and then off they go to the next person.

384
00:15:52,145 --> 00:16:01,385
Speaker 3: Exactly question number three, the unsolicited advice. This one's getting

385
00:16:01,385 --> 00:16:03,225
Speaker 3: my backup. I think it's getting your back up too,

386
00:16:04,465 --> 00:16:07,665
Speaker 3: and known as well from Sydney. I have a friend

387
00:16:07,665 --> 00:16:10,945
Speaker 3: who is the absolute sweetest, but she has a full

388
00:16:10,985 --> 00:16:13,145
Speaker 3: on beard and mustache.

389
00:16:13,865 --> 00:16:15,785
Speaker 2: Why didn't you mustache?

390
00:16:15,985 --> 00:16:18,505
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. I've always said mustache in a

391
00:16:18,625 --> 00:16:20,265
Speaker 1: mustache mustache. I don't know why.

392
00:16:20,265 --> 00:16:22,825
Speaker 3: I just think the word mustache is really funny. Okay,

393
00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:24,945
Speaker 3: my other friends and I talk about it, and we

394
00:16:25,025 --> 00:16:28,145
Speaker 3: can't figure out if she doesn't notice or doesn't care.

395
00:16:28,505 --> 00:16:31,065
Speaker 3: We're all in our mid twenties and obsessed with TikTok

396
00:16:31,105 --> 00:16:33,385
Speaker 3: beauty hacks, and I'm honestly wondering if I should talk

397
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:35,665
Speaker 3: to her about it. Is there a gentle way to

398
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:37,985
Speaker 3: bring it up or is this one of those things

399
00:16:38,025 --> 00:16:40,225
Speaker 3: where you just have to let it be. I'm worried

400
00:16:40,265 --> 00:16:42,625
Speaker 3: it might be affecting her confidence, but I'm also worried

401
00:16:42,625 --> 00:16:44,945
Speaker 3: about totally embarrassing her for saying something.

402
00:16:45,425 --> 00:16:47,985
Speaker 1: Well, Sydney and On tell you, who isn't the absolute

403
00:16:48,025 --> 00:16:53,145
Speaker 1: sweetest you go just let rip.

404
00:16:54,025 --> 00:16:57,105
Speaker 3: Well, I just think you're not actually worried about your

405
00:16:57,185 --> 00:17:00,345
Speaker 3: friend's confidence, Otherwise you wouldn't be bitching about her beard

406
00:17:00,545 --> 00:17:01,745
Speaker 3: behind her back.

407
00:17:02,625 --> 00:17:06,665
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one is I'm cringing even thinking about how

408
00:17:06,705 --> 00:17:08,345
Speaker 2: that conversation would even go.

409
00:17:08,905 --> 00:17:09,945
Speaker 1: Just don't like.

410
00:17:10,265 --> 00:17:12,905
Speaker 3: I just think unless she has a medical condition that

411
00:17:12,945 --> 00:17:15,985
Speaker 3: has affected her eyesight, or she's got really poor eyesight

412
00:17:16,025 --> 00:17:18,825
Speaker 3: and doesn't wear glasses or contacts, she's well aware that

413
00:17:18,865 --> 00:17:19,465
Speaker 3: she's hairy.

414
00:17:19,545 --> 00:17:24,745
Speaker 1: Okay, we know as a fellow hairy lass, we know

415
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:27,905
Speaker 1: that they are. We are very hairy. Okay.

416
00:17:28,305 --> 00:17:30,585
Speaker 3: We don't need you and your other and our other

417
00:17:30,665 --> 00:17:34,145
Speaker 3: hairless friends bitching about our hairiness.

418
00:17:33,625 --> 00:17:36,905
Speaker 1: Behind our back. We know, and we would ask you

419
00:17:36,945 --> 00:17:38,625
Speaker 1: know what as well. There's a reason why she probably

420
00:17:38,625 --> 00:17:39,465
Speaker 1: hasn't asked you.

421
00:17:39,505 --> 00:17:41,745
Speaker 2: I love that the fingers up, Oh, I've got the

422
00:17:41,785 --> 00:17:45,865
Speaker 2: finger pointing and one other thing, one other thing.

423
00:17:46,985 --> 00:17:49,105
Speaker 1: Bearded lady, come and be friends with me. I won't

424
00:17:49,145 --> 00:17:50,425
Speaker 1: make fun of your beard.

425
00:17:50,705 --> 00:17:56,385
Speaker 2: But just in all seriousness, because, like you know, there's

426
00:17:56,385 --> 00:18:00,625
Speaker 2: lots of reasons why people might have fasuettes hair. Yeah,

427
00:18:00,745 --> 00:18:04,705
Speaker 2: genetics exactly, it might be hormone or even if your

428
00:18:04,745 --> 00:18:07,905
Speaker 2: body's gone through a massive change like that can all

429
00:18:07,945 --> 00:18:09,225
Speaker 2: throw your hair out of.

430
00:18:09,265 --> 00:18:14,585
Speaker 1: Why well, you just might be hairy. Hello, I have

431
00:18:14,625 --> 00:18:16,105
Speaker 1: to tweeze every single day.

432
00:18:16,345 --> 00:18:20,945
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I have, Like I'm fair, so I

433
00:18:20,985 --> 00:18:23,745
Speaker 2: am one of those blessed people where you don't see

434
00:18:23,785 --> 00:18:26,905
Speaker 2: the hair necessarily. Maybe it's shining in the studio light.

435
00:18:27,145 --> 00:18:29,745
Speaker 1: It possibly could because I'm fair too, but you can see.

436
00:18:29,745 --> 00:18:32,785
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like my husband will often kind of like

437
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:37,265
Speaker 2: lovingly be like, oh, there's your mustache when it catches

438
00:18:37,305 --> 00:18:37,865
Speaker 2: the sunlight.

439
00:18:38,145 --> 00:18:38,905
Speaker 1: How nice of him?

440
00:18:38,985 --> 00:18:39,225
Speaker 2: Is he?

441
00:18:39,345 --> 00:18:44,305
Speaker 1: Anon? Is your husband? Actually? And he's changed his friends,

442
00:18:44,625 --> 00:18:48,585
Speaker 1: he meant his wife, he's actually and it wustache.

443
00:18:49,625 --> 00:18:51,905
Speaker 2: But I know, like I see it every time I

444
00:18:51,945 --> 00:18:54,625
Speaker 2: look in the mirror, especially when I use our powder

445
00:18:54,705 --> 00:18:59,265
Speaker 2: room downstairs with the overhead lights shining. I see that

446
00:18:59,385 --> 00:19:02,865
Speaker 2: mustache and I don't like and I just I don't care.

447
00:19:02,945 --> 00:19:05,865
Speaker 2: I don't care enough, so, as Kelly said, the person

448
00:19:05,985 --> 00:19:10,185
Speaker 2: knows I would absolutely not be bringing it up unless

449
00:19:10,185 --> 00:19:14,065
Speaker 2: they unless they do, unless they have made a comment

450
00:19:14,385 --> 00:19:17,105
Speaker 2: in the past, or maybe they've like made a bit

451
00:19:17,105 --> 00:19:22,305
Speaker 2: of a joke about it at some stage on multiple occasions.

452
00:19:21,785 --> 00:19:24,185
Speaker 3: And you can totally say something like Amy's just pointed

453
00:19:24,225 --> 00:19:25,545
Speaker 3: out her own mustache.

454
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:28,465
Speaker 1: So then it now Kelly to say, oh, did you

455
00:19:28,505 --> 00:19:29,585
Speaker 1: know taking it?

456
00:19:30,985 --> 00:19:36,305
Speaker 2: And I would say I have something you have Yeah, yeah, God,

457
00:19:37,385 --> 00:19:39,985
Speaker 2: gosh darn it, ye Devil's advocate.

458
00:19:41,105 --> 00:19:45,825
Speaker 6: They could potentially yeah, absolutely, like absolutely every like different

459
00:19:45,865 --> 00:19:49,425
Speaker 6: strokes for different folks, but also like they could potentially

460
00:19:49,465 --> 00:19:52,585
Speaker 6: The person who wrote in said that they are all

461
00:19:52,625 --> 00:19:53,425
Speaker 6: obsessed with.

462
00:19:53,345 --> 00:19:57,145
Speaker 2: TikTok beauty hags, Like if you really wanted to do something,

463
00:19:57,185 --> 00:19:59,905
Speaker 2: you could like share a video of one of those

464
00:19:59,985 --> 00:20:01,945
Speaker 2: creators putting no.

465
00:20:02,105 --> 00:20:04,625
Speaker 1: That's even meaner. I don't know.

466
00:20:04,665 --> 00:20:06,745
Speaker 3: The funny thing is, though, where because I get so

467
00:20:07,025 --> 00:20:10,145
Speaker 3: arked up about this yet. I if if someone had

468
00:20:10,145 --> 00:20:12,865
Speaker 3: a really smelly cowork, I wouldn't be opposed to putting

469
00:20:12,905 --> 00:20:13,505
Speaker 3: deodoran on.

470
00:20:13,425 --> 00:20:15,865
Speaker 2: That absolutely, But then that's affecting.

471
00:20:15,385 --> 00:20:17,785
Speaker 1: You because you have to smell it and you can't concentrate.

472
00:20:17,865 --> 00:20:21,065
Speaker 2: But yes, I think hygiene related things is different because.

473
00:20:20,825 --> 00:20:23,185
Speaker 3: It affects you and then you can't concentrate on other things.

474
00:20:23,225 --> 00:20:25,505
Speaker 3: But her hairy face doesn't affect you at all. And

475
00:20:25,585 --> 00:20:27,745
Speaker 3: if you say that, you have to look at your bitch,

476
00:20:28,345 --> 00:20:28,905
Speaker 3: because that's.

477
00:20:28,745 --> 00:20:30,065
Speaker 1: What I'm thinking. I'm like preempting.

478
00:20:30,945 --> 00:20:33,425
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, sorry, Sydney, and I'm sure that you're actually

479
00:20:33,425 --> 00:20:34,505
Speaker 3: a nice person, but I.

480
00:20:34,665 --> 00:20:37,545
Speaker 1: Just don't say anything as a fellow hairy gal.

481
00:20:37,545 --> 00:20:39,585
Speaker 3: It just upset me that people are talking about their

482
00:20:39,865 --> 00:20:41,305
Speaker 3: hairy gal behind your back.

483
00:20:47,945 --> 00:20:52,145
Speaker 2: Finally, we have a post baby body dilemma. So this

484
00:20:52,185 --> 00:20:55,985
Speaker 2: submission is another a non from Adelaide, my hometown.

485
00:20:56,225 --> 00:20:59,345
Speaker 3: Fair enough, when they're emailing the agony ants, they want

486
00:20:59,465 --> 00:20:59,825
Speaker 3: a non.

487
00:21:00,385 --> 00:21:03,105
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like, I have no judgment to a non.

488
00:21:03,225 --> 00:21:07,025
Speaker 2: We know, and I actually love a noon because it means, like,

489
00:21:07,145 --> 00:21:10,305
Speaker 2: tell us what you really need to know. Yeah, So

490
00:21:10,905 --> 00:21:13,185
Speaker 2: a none says I'm a new mum and I'm struggling

491
00:21:13,225 --> 00:21:15,665
Speaker 2: with the changes to my body, especially the excess skin

492
00:21:15,745 --> 00:21:18,065
Speaker 2: on my tummy. I love my baby more than anything,

493
00:21:18,105 --> 00:21:20,425
Speaker 2: but when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself.

494
00:21:20,505 --> 00:21:23,545
Speaker 2: My friends tell me it's a Badge of honor quote unquote,

495
00:21:23,825 --> 00:21:26,305
Speaker 2: but I just feel really uncomfortable. Is there anything I

496
00:21:26,305 --> 00:21:29,625
Speaker 2: can do for this? Or do I just have to

497
00:21:29,705 --> 00:21:32,105
Speaker 2: accept this as my new normal. I'll throw it to

498
00:21:32,185 --> 00:21:35,465
Speaker 2: you first, Kelly, because you are a mum, so I

499
00:21:35,465 --> 00:21:37,865
Speaker 2: feel like, let's you get the first rid of reply.

500
00:21:38,145 --> 00:21:40,025
Speaker 1: Okay, that's nice of you.

501
00:21:41,385 --> 00:21:43,545
Speaker 3: Firstly, I feel like I need a little bit more

502
00:21:43,545 --> 00:21:46,505
Speaker 3: context of how new of a mum you are, because

503
00:21:46,505 --> 00:21:49,105
Speaker 3: if you're really new, I mean regardless, I think that

504
00:21:49,145 --> 00:21:52,385
Speaker 3: you need to be kind to yourself, like bodies do

505
00:21:52,505 --> 00:21:55,985
Speaker 3: not just bounce back overnight, however much Hollywood tells us.

506
00:21:56,065 --> 00:21:58,505
Speaker 3: I also would like to know your age, because that also,

507
00:21:59,105 --> 00:22:02,025
Speaker 3: funnily enough, has so much do with it, with how

508
00:22:02,585 --> 00:22:04,705
Speaker 3: much like quickly your skin does go back.

509
00:22:04,585 --> 00:22:07,865
Speaker 2: And its age is actually probably more important than like

510
00:22:08,025 --> 00:22:11,465
Speaker 2: your previous If you had a six pack before, that

511
00:22:11,505 --> 00:22:16,145
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you're automatically going to have this tight

512
00:22:16,185 --> 00:22:16,625
Speaker 2: six pack.

513
00:22:16,785 --> 00:22:21,225
Speaker 3: Especially I would say, if you're say thirty five and older,

514
00:22:22,105 --> 00:22:24,705
Speaker 3: your skin it simply does not have the collagen an

515
00:22:24,745 --> 00:22:28,385
Speaker 3: elasticity that it does if you'll say twenty three, So

516
00:22:28,425 --> 00:22:31,265
Speaker 3: it like it potentially will never go back. And I'm

517
00:22:31,265 --> 00:22:33,705
Speaker 3: going to use the word normal, I mean normal for

518
00:22:33,785 --> 00:22:36,025
Speaker 3: you what you looked like before you had a baby.

519
00:22:36,025 --> 00:22:37,585
Speaker 3: So please, if you hear me use that word, I

520
00:22:37,625 --> 00:22:42,345
Speaker 3: simply mean before you have a baby. I was older,

521
00:22:42,385 --> 00:22:44,825
Speaker 3: I was in my mid thirties when I had lend

522
00:22:44,985 --> 00:22:48,625
Speaker 3: Or thirty three, same thing, and my body did not

523
00:22:48,785 --> 00:22:53,225
Speaker 3: go back to what it was prior. I am in

524
00:22:53,305 --> 00:22:55,985
Speaker 3: a smaller body than I was before. I felt pregnant

525
00:22:56,025 --> 00:22:59,945
Speaker 3: thanks to racing around after a toddler, but growing he

526
00:23:00,105 --> 00:23:00,905
Speaker 3: was huge.

527
00:23:01,545 --> 00:23:02,745
Speaker 1: He was so big.

528
00:23:02,865 --> 00:23:05,985
Speaker 3: My tummy stretched so much, and I do have loose

529
00:23:06,025 --> 00:23:07,945
Speaker 3: skin and like a lot of stretch marks on my

530
00:23:08,385 --> 00:23:10,665
Speaker 3: tummy that will not like it's been three years, so

531
00:23:10,745 --> 00:23:12,745
Speaker 3: they're definitely not going to go away now, which is

532
00:23:12,745 --> 00:23:14,145
Speaker 3: why I also want to know how old the baby

533
00:23:14,225 --> 00:23:17,225
Speaker 3: is though, because it does take time. Yes, my skin

534
00:23:17,305 --> 00:23:21,225
Speaker 3: definitely did go back somewhat after a year or so.

535
00:23:22,665 --> 00:23:24,105
Speaker 3: You can take it away now and then we can

536
00:23:24,145 --> 00:23:25,985
Speaker 3: sort of get into the options.

537
00:23:26,025 --> 00:23:29,945
Speaker 1: But I get it. It does feel weird, and you know,

538
00:23:29,985 --> 00:23:31,465
Speaker 1: I'm the first person to go.

539
00:23:33,025 --> 00:23:37,065
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like just a beautiful sign that that was

540
00:23:37,105 --> 00:23:38,825
Speaker 3: the house that you grew your baby in. But I

541
00:23:38,865 --> 00:23:42,505
Speaker 3: also totally get sometimes I do think it'd be nice

542
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:45,465
Speaker 3: to wear a bikini. Yeah, Like I've got a lovely

543
00:23:45,945 --> 00:23:49,385
Speaker 3: flat stomach at the moment, but I wouldn't wear a

544
00:23:49,465 --> 00:23:52,425
Speaker 3: bikini because it's do you know, the talking tummy not

545
00:23:52,545 --> 00:23:52,985
Speaker 3: with skin.

546
00:23:54,225 --> 00:23:54,905
Speaker 1: Sorry, it was.

547
00:23:54,905 --> 00:23:56,865
Speaker 2: Really a brass that was frightening.

548
00:23:56,985 --> 00:23:59,345
Speaker 1: We've got like a lot, there's a lot happening there.

549
00:23:59,465 --> 00:24:02,865
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like it's so interesting because like that doesn't

550
00:24:02,905 --> 00:24:06,905
Speaker 2: have a thought about how their body looks, regardless of

551
00:24:06,905 --> 00:24:09,825
Speaker 2: whether they're a size six, a size twenty six, that

552
00:24:09,825 --> 00:24:14,105
Speaker 2: they're conventionally attractive whatever, man, woman, whatever, Like.

553
00:24:14,145 --> 00:24:16,265
Speaker 1: Literally could not agree.

554
00:24:16,385 --> 00:24:18,945
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I relate to this on a personal level

555
00:24:18,985 --> 00:24:22,585
Speaker 2: because like I've had bariatric surgery, gastric sleeve and that

556
00:24:22,785 --> 00:24:26,465
Speaker 2: was that was five for almost six years ago now,

557
00:24:26,865 --> 00:24:29,865
Speaker 2: So the loose skin like that will never be going

558
00:24:29,865 --> 00:24:32,985
Speaker 2: away unless it's literally slashed off my body, which I

559
00:24:33,025 --> 00:24:35,825
Speaker 2: probably will do that at some point. I'm thinking, like

560
00:24:36,065 --> 00:24:39,665
Speaker 2: post if I'm you know, blessed enough to have a kid,

561
00:24:40,025 --> 00:24:43,185
Speaker 2: like I would one percent be you know, having my

562
00:24:43,505 --> 00:24:46,025
Speaker 2: arms and stomach looked at, because that's what would make

563
00:24:46,105 --> 00:24:51,545
Speaker 2: me feel just like better. But I've also been living

564
00:24:51,545 --> 00:24:53,585
Speaker 2: with this loose skin for like five years now. And

565
00:24:53,625 --> 00:24:56,785
Speaker 2: it doesn't stop me from doing my everyday activities. It

566
00:24:56,825 --> 00:25:00,985
Speaker 2: doesn't stop me from wearing bathers, swimmers and all of that.

567
00:25:01,345 --> 00:25:04,705
Speaker 2: But the thing is is that, yeah, there's no creams.

568
00:25:04,785 --> 00:25:08,905
Speaker 2: There's no cream Some lasers would help a little bit,

569
00:25:09,025 --> 00:25:12,185
Speaker 2: depending on the severity of the loose skin, like laser

570
00:25:12,185 --> 00:25:15,105
Speaker 2: would probably help with mine or stretch marks. And also

571
00:25:15,145 --> 00:25:17,345
Speaker 2: the other thing I was gonna say, I think this

572
00:25:17,385 --> 00:25:19,345
Speaker 2: comes down to how you feel about it as well.

573
00:25:19,425 --> 00:25:22,305
Speaker 2: Comes down to whether you had stretch marks before already,

574
00:25:22,785 --> 00:25:26,585
Speaker 2: Like my body has had all sorts of stripes and

575
00:25:26,665 --> 00:25:29,545
Speaker 2: things going on since I was probably like fourteen years old,

576
00:25:29,585 --> 00:25:31,945
Speaker 2: because you've situated a little bit, yeah, because of growth

577
00:25:31,985 --> 00:25:33,545
Speaker 2: spurts and things like that. If you're the kind of

578
00:25:33,545 --> 00:25:35,945
Speaker 2: person that never has had stretch marks before and then

579
00:25:35,985 --> 00:25:39,265
Speaker 2: you get them, that is quite confronting, especially because they're

580
00:25:39,345 --> 00:25:42,145
Speaker 2: super angry looking when you first get them, and then obviously,

581
00:25:42,545 --> 00:25:45,745
Speaker 2: like mine are all lack a lovely silvery you know,

582
00:25:46,985 --> 00:25:49,665
Speaker 2: lines that just hit the light nicely.

583
00:25:49,785 --> 00:25:52,185
Speaker 1: But when you first get them, you're so right, they

584
00:25:52,185 --> 00:25:53,425
Speaker 1: are cranky looking.

585
00:25:53,665 --> 00:25:57,705
Speaker 2: Yeah, they look they look red and angry. But there's

586
00:25:58,065 --> 00:26:02,265
Speaker 2: the skin, especially skin in large areas like that across

587
00:26:02,265 --> 00:26:04,585
Speaker 2: the stomach. We get a lot of questions in the

588
00:26:04,665 --> 00:26:08,265
Speaker 2: U Beauty Facebook group about loose skin on the neck

589
00:26:09,305 --> 00:26:13,025
Speaker 2: and around kind of this the double chin area, and

590
00:26:13,065 --> 00:26:16,745
Speaker 2: like this is its thinner skin. It is like a

591
00:26:16,785 --> 00:26:20,785
Speaker 2: smaller area. So like if you're using say a vitamin

592
00:26:20,865 --> 00:26:27,705
Speaker 2: a body treatment like that can like help reduce the appearance.

593
00:26:27,745 --> 00:26:31,465
Speaker 2: It's not gonna like nothing's gonna be like a facelift

594
00:26:31,705 --> 00:26:35,585
Speaker 2: or like having surgery, but that can help. However, so

595
00:26:35,625 --> 00:26:38,625
Speaker 2: you could you could use that kind of thing on

596
00:26:38,705 --> 00:26:41,505
Speaker 2: your stomach, but it's not gonna have you just gotta

597
00:26:41,545 --> 00:26:44,825
Speaker 2: be realistic about the expectation about the results you're gonna get.

598
00:26:45,705 --> 00:26:48,505
Speaker 2: That might help. As you said, a laser for like

599
00:26:48,545 --> 00:26:52,025
Speaker 2: the appearance of stretch marks can help. It is expensive,

600
00:26:52,145 --> 00:26:54,465
Speaker 2: like you've got to go. It's not like a one

601
00:26:54,505 --> 00:26:55,585
Speaker 2: and done treatment.

602
00:26:55,385 --> 00:26:56,825
Speaker 3: Times just to go get a bit of a tuck

603
00:26:57,185 --> 00:26:59,585
Speaker 3: well or what have you looked into it?

604
00:26:59,585 --> 00:27:00,185
Speaker 1: How much is it?

605
00:27:00,305 --> 00:27:04,305
Speaker 2: I haven't yet, but it's probably it'll be an investment.

606
00:27:05,025 --> 00:27:09,305
Speaker 2: It'll be an investment that's more just like a I mean,

607
00:27:09,305 --> 00:27:11,785
Speaker 2: I hey, who knows, but by the time I get there,

608
00:27:11,825 --> 00:27:14,345
Speaker 2: maybe I'm gonna be oh, fuck it. Whatever, I'm too tired.

609
00:27:14,505 --> 00:27:16,865
Speaker 3: Well honestly, that's how I feel. Like, Yes, I look

610
00:27:16,905 --> 00:27:18,105
Speaker 3: at my stomach and I'm like.

611
00:27:18,785 --> 00:27:21,785
Speaker 2: But coming into yeah, but coming into summer like this

612
00:27:21,905 --> 00:27:25,745
Speaker 2: time of year, I won one hundred percent like empathize

613
00:27:25,785 --> 00:27:27,425
Speaker 2: and know what it feels like to be on the

614
00:27:27,465 --> 00:27:30,945
Speaker 2: beach and to just be like, I've got this skin

615
00:27:31,105 --> 00:27:33,385
Speaker 2: hanging off me and I feel like, you know, I

616
00:27:33,385 --> 00:27:35,385
Speaker 2: want to run in the water or I want to

617
00:27:35,505 --> 00:27:37,505
Speaker 2: do you know, I want to wear the strappy tops

618
00:27:37,545 --> 00:27:41,265
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, reaching for the bus and

619
00:27:41,305 --> 00:27:42,465
Speaker 2: there it's fluffing away.

620
00:27:42,625 --> 00:27:45,385
Speaker 1: But like, did you see that TikTok I shared not

621
00:27:45,425 --> 00:27:46,905
Speaker 1: longer where it was swing swing?

622
00:27:47,025 --> 00:27:50,065
Speaker 3: She actually she was like, I can't afford skin removal surgery,

623
00:27:50,425 --> 00:27:52,225
Speaker 3: so I got I can't afford a tatoo, So she

624
00:27:52,305 --> 00:27:56,145
Speaker 3: got a tattoo of a lady swinging on her arm skin.

625
00:27:56,705 --> 00:27:58,865
Speaker 3: So it just like, you know, she's got a sense
