What do the ubs need to 21 00:01:16,585 --> 00:01:18,065 Speaker 3: know about beauty news this week. 22 00:01:18,185 --> 00:01:21,025 Speaker 2: So, Taylor, I mean, we know Mariah Carey is the 23 00:01:21,145 --> 00:01:24,345 Speaker 2: Queen of Christmas. She's been doing her iconic Its Time 24 00:01:24,465 --> 00:01:27,905 Speaker 2: video clips since twenty nineteen, and each year they're getting 25 00:01:28,065 --> 00:01:31,065 Speaker 2: a little more complicated, and this year there was a 26 00:01:31,065 --> 00:01:33,825 Speaker 2: beauty twist. I don't know if you saw it, Taylor, 27 00:01:33,985 --> 00:01:37,065 Speaker 2: but there was a big sponsorship going on. 28 00:01:37,425 --> 00:01:39,585 Speaker 3: I am so glad that you're bringing this up this week. 29 00:01:39,625 --> 00:01:41,625 Speaker 3: It is all that has been in my feed, both 30 00:01:41,745 --> 00:01:43,785 Speaker 3: the actual video that we're going to talk about and 31 00:01:43,785 --> 00:01:45,545 Speaker 3: then all the backlash from it as well. 32 00:01:45,625 --> 00:01:46,585 Speaker 1: Yes, it's been huge. 33 00:01:46,665 --> 00:01:49,425 Speaker 2: So while last year's one did have a sponsorship for 34 00:01:49,465 --> 00:01:53,145 Speaker 2: a jeweler, this year was in partnership with Sephora, and 35 00:01:53,505 --> 00:01:56,425 Speaker 2: it had a very interesting plot which involved an elf 36 00:01:56,545 --> 00:02:00,385 Speaker 2: stealing some beauty products from Mariah Carey and then talking 37 00:02:00,385 --> 00:02:03,745 Speaker 2: about striking because the elves needed better treatment. So it 38 00:02:03,785 --> 00:02:06,945 Speaker 2: was pretty genius, I mean for Sephora as a marketing move, 39 00:02:07,345 --> 00:02:09,585 Speaker 2: but also there was a bit of controversy about capital 40 00:02:10,105 --> 00:02:12,625 Speaker 2: on this sweet wholesome moment that kind of came out 41 00:02:12,625 --> 00:02:15,625 Speaker 2: of a really genuine pop culture love for Mariah Carey's 42 00:02:15,705 --> 00:02:16,305 Speaker 2: Christmas music. 43 00:02:16,705 --> 00:02:19,945 Speaker 3: Look, I think that if you in twenty twenty five 44 00:02:20,065 --> 00:02:23,345 Speaker 3: think that Christmas is still reserved to this sweet, wholesome 45 00:02:23,345 --> 00:02:25,745 Speaker 3: moment and you're over the age of ten, you are 46 00:02:25,825 --> 00:02:29,345 Speaker 3: kidding yourself. Christmas is a huge corporate holiday and a 47 00:02:29,385 --> 00:02:30,625 Speaker 3: big consumer grab. 48 00:02:30,745 --> 00:02:31,265 Speaker 1: We know that. 49 00:02:31,865 --> 00:02:33,905 Speaker 3: Look, I've been back and forth on how I feel 50 00:02:33,945 --> 00:02:36,425 Speaker 3: about this. I think it's really you know, people have 51 00:02:36,465 --> 00:02:38,545 Speaker 3: got to get paid. Get your bag, Mariah, good on you. 52 00:02:39,065 --> 00:02:41,465 Speaker 3: But I also see, you know, times are tough in 53 00:02:41,505 --> 00:02:44,265 Speaker 3: the US and across the world in general. I get 54 00:02:44,265 --> 00:02:48,825 Speaker 3: why people are not exactly feeling the Christmas spirit when 55 00:02:48,825 --> 00:02:51,065 Speaker 3: it comes to this Sephora Mariah Carey collab. 56 00:02:51,465 --> 00:02:52,145 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. 57 00:02:52,185 --> 00:02:54,865 Speaker 2: I mean, Sephora as a company know that Christmas is 58 00:02:54,865 --> 00:02:57,705 Speaker 2: one of their biggest times. It just makes sense. But yeah, 59 00:02:57,705 --> 00:02:58,985 Speaker 2: I think when we know what's going on in the 60 00:02:59,025 --> 00:03:01,425 Speaker 2: world that moment if you've seen you four and everyone's like, 61 00:03:01,545 --> 00:03:03,785 Speaker 2: is this play about us? And everyone kind of went, 62 00:03:04,185 --> 00:03:07,185 Speaker 2: are we the elf in this situation that's needing to 63 00:03:07,225 --> 00:03:11,545 Speaker 2: strike because of our horrible workplaces? It probably wasn't the 64 00:03:11,585 --> 00:03:15,265 Speaker 2: best plot line, but the video was fun, and there's 65 00:03:15,305 --> 00:03:18,305 Speaker 2: also been quite a few beauty lovers out there now 66 00:03:18,345 --> 00:03:21,265 Speaker 2: blaming Mariah Carey for their huge Sephora halls, which I 67 00:03:21,265 --> 00:03:23,985 Speaker 2: think is hilarious, and other people saying that Mariah was 68 00:03:24,065 --> 00:03:26,985 Speaker 2: defrosted too early. She always does November first, but is 69 00:03:26,985 --> 00:03:28,705 Speaker 2: it too early to be Christmas shopping tailor? 70 00:03:28,865 --> 00:03:31,225 Speaker 3: Look, I don't know. I feel like the Christmas shopping 71 00:03:31,265 --> 00:03:33,545 Speaker 3: gets earlier and earlier every year, which makes sense, right 72 00:03:33,545 --> 00:03:35,865 Speaker 3: because like Black Friday sales has just blown out to 73 00:03:35,945 --> 00:03:37,985 Speaker 3: a whole month. So I don't have an issue with it. 74 00:03:38,025 --> 00:03:40,025 Speaker 3: I'm an organized queen. So if you want to do 75 00:03:40,145 --> 00:03:43,385 Speaker 3: your Christmas shopping early, and if Mariah Carey has encouraged 76 00:03:43,425 --> 00:03:45,985 Speaker 3: you to do so, so be it. I say, Slicephora 77 00:03:46,705 --> 00:03:49,105 Speaker 3: all right, cass out of the US and back into 78 00:03:49,185 --> 00:03:51,425 Speaker 3: our domestic beauty market. I want to talk to you 79 00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:55,625 Speaker 3: about something very exciting that's happening with our beloved Big W. 80 00:03:55,945 --> 00:03:58,705 Speaker 3: Now we know the Big W have their own beauty 81 00:03:58,705 --> 00:04:00,865 Speaker 3: thing going on, like you can buy you know, MC 82 00:04:01,065 --> 00:04:04,865 Speaker 3: beauty there and all the classics like the Revlin, the Mabeline. However, 83 00:04:05,025 --> 00:04:09,865 Speaker 3: they've just announced this incredible big boost injection into their 84 00:04:09,865 --> 00:04:14,185 Speaker 3: beauty space. They're adding four hundred and twenty TikTok viral products. 85 00:04:14,745 --> 00:04:16,625 Speaker 3: And exclusive Ozzie brands. 86 00:04:16,945 --> 00:04:19,065 Speaker 2: I'm really excited about this, and I think a lot 87 00:04:19,065 --> 00:04:22,305 Speaker 2: of Ubi's will be because we watch TikTok all the time. 88 00:04:22,385 --> 00:04:26,105 Speaker 2: There are all these amazing viral brands, amazing k beauty brands, 89 00:04:26,385 --> 00:04:28,305 Speaker 2: and it's really hard to get your hands on them 90 00:04:28,345 --> 00:04:30,905 Speaker 2: in Australia, especially if you're not in a major city. 91 00:04:31,225 --> 00:04:33,985 Speaker 2: So I think for Big W, a retailer that's available 92 00:04:34,025 --> 00:04:37,665 Speaker 2: across so much of Australia, to be diversifying their beauty 93 00:04:37,985 --> 00:04:41,425 Speaker 2: and also really offering it at an affordable price, that's 94 00:04:41,665 --> 00:04:44,265 Speaker 2: super exciting. I mean, seventy two percent of their new 95 00:04:44,265 --> 00:04:46,745 Speaker 2: collection is under twenty five dollars and around half of 96 00:04:46,785 --> 00:04:48,625 Speaker 2: that is under fifteen, which I think we can all 97 00:04:48,665 --> 00:04:51,105 Speaker 2: agree is very much needed in today's climate. 98 00:04:51,545 --> 00:04:53,785 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. Like the strategy here is to 99 00:04:53,905 --> 00:04:56,985 Speaker 3: bridge that gap between viral online beauty trends and then 100 00:04:57,065 --> 00:04:59,385 Speaker 3: actually being able to go out purchase those products and 101 00:04:59,425 --> 00:05:02,145 Speaker 3: give the trends a crack for yourself. So in store 102 00:05:02,145 --> 00:05:03,985 Speaker 3: at BIGW, there'll be a whole bunch of new and 103 00:05:04,025 --> 00:05:08,545 Speaker 3: exclusive brands. I'm talking things like Doctor Teal's Hero Cosmetics, 104 00:05:08,625 --> 00:05:12,065 Speaker 3: Boost Lab, Frank Body, which feels like so lovely to 105 00:05:12,105 --> 00:05:15,385 Speaker 3: have frank body basically around the corner. But then also 106 00:05:15,465 --> 00:05:17,425 Speaker 3: you mentioned there about K Beauty, and there's a whole 107 00:05:17,425 --> 00:05:20,065 Speaker 3: bunch of K beauty powerhouses that'll be launching there as well, 108 00:05:20,185 --> 00:05:22,705 Speaker 3: cous Rex if you remember they kind of made snail 109 00:05:22,785 --> 00:05:26,265 Speaker 3: Musing go viral, also skin one four some by My 110 00:05:26,545 --> 00:05:27,385 Speaker 3: and Fruitier. 111 00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:29,665 Speaker 2: And one of the other things that I think us 112 00:05:29,705 --> 00:05:31,505 Speaker 2: really need to know about this is that Big w 113 00:05:31,625 --> 00:05:33,985 Speaker 2: are actually launching their own beauty brand. It's going to 114 00:05:34,025 --> 00:05:36,705 Speaker 2: be called Beauty Bar, and we'll have body butters, lip oils, 115 00:05:36,745 --> 00:05:39,825 Speaker 2: and bath bombs in sense that are going viral, so 116 00:05:39,945 --> 00:05:43,625 Speaker 2: like Sticky Day Jam, Doughnut Vanilla Honey, very like gormand 117 00:05:43,745 --> 00:05:47,465 Speaker 2: sweet Sense, And I think it's just really exciting, especially 118 00:05:47,545 --> 00:05:50,025 Speaker 2: if you have a young beauty lover in your life 119 00:05:50,025 --> 00:05:53,545 Speaker 2: who maybe wants to collate a few beautiful bathroom products 120 00:05:53,705 --> 00:05:55,785 Speaker 2: but maybe not spend a fortune. I think it's going 121 00:05:55,865 --> 00:05:58,985 Speaker 2: to be really lovely and accessible for them. So anyone 122 00:05:59,065 --> 00:06:01,785 Speaker 2: who's anyone is watching. Nobody wants this. But did you 123 00:06:01,905 --> 00:06:05,185 Speaker 2: see all of the spon con happening in there, specifically 124 00:06:05,225 --> 00:06:08,145 Speaker 2: from one of our most beloved beauty companies, Esday Lauder. 125 00:06:08,505 --> 00:06:11,265 Speaker 2: For those who missed it, it was a very extended 126 00:06:11,385 --> 00:06:14,065 Speaker 2: close up on the Sday Lauder Advanced Night Repair serrem, 127 00:06:14,105 --> 00:06:16,945 Speaker 2: which we absolutely freakin love, but it did kind of 128 00:06:16,945 --> 00:06:18,905 Speaker 2: take us out of the storyline while we were watching it. 129 00:06:18,945 --> 00:06:20,025 Speaker 4: Did you see this, Taylor? 130 00:06:20,585 --> 00:06:23,625 Speaker 3: I did see this, and I have a feeling that 131 00:06:23,665 --> 00:06:27,625 Speaker 3: I probably vary from the popular opinion here, but please 132 00:06:27,665 --> 00:06:28,385 Speaker 3: continue cast. 133 00:06:28,745 --> 00:06:32,505 Speaker 2: Everyone's been calling this basically a money shot. It happens 134 00:06:32,545 --> 00:06:35,985 Speaker 2: when Joanne is in the bathroom at a baby shower. 135 00:06:35,985 --> 00:06:37,345 Speaker 2: If you've seen the episode. I'm not going to go 136 00:06:37,345 --> 00:06:39,545 Speaker 2: into too much more detail and not ruin it for anyone, 137 00:06:39,825 --> 00:06:42,505 Speaker 2: but she uses the product over a full face of makeup, 138 00:06:42,505 --> 00:06:45,065 Speaker 2: which is definitely not how you're supposed to use Advanced 139 00:06:45,145 --> 00:06:48,345 Speaker 2: Night Repair, and it just felt very contrived. And then 140 00:06:48,385 --> 00:06:51,105 Speaker 2: at the same time, Kristen Bell as an actor, did 141 00:06:51,225 --> 00:06:53,865 Speaker 2: a separate advertisement with es Day Lauder, which kind of 142 00:06:53,905 --> 00:06:56,985 Speaker 2: confirmed everyone's suspicion that this was not just a bad 143 00:06:57,025 --> 00:06:59,825 Speaker 2: camera pan but was in fact it paid for inclusion 144 00:06:59,905 --> 00:07:02,945 Speaker 2: and this is happening across the show. So Airbnb also 145 00:07:02,985 --> 00:07:05,745 Speaker 2: got a shout out. Yeah, it's being called a giant infomercial, 146 00:07:05,785 --> 00:07:08,225 Speaker 2: and there's quite a lot of backlash on this topic. 147 00:07:08,585 --> 00:07:11,265 Speaker 3: I have two words the response to this, and those 148 00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:14,345 Speaker 3: two words are Spice World. If you've ever watched the 149 00:07:14,345 --> 00:07:17,185 Speaker 3: Spice Skirls movie, that is just a walking advertisement. Like 150 00:07:17,305 --> 00:07:20,425 Speaker 3: every I think nine seconds or something, there's a paid 151 00:07:20,465 --> 00:07:23,465 Speaker 3: ad placement in there. Also, this is not a new concept, 152 00:07:23,505 --> 00:07:26,825 Speaker 3: like putting spon con into a film or a television show, 153 00:07:26,865 --> 00:07:29,985 Speaker 3: even into music videos is not foreign. People have been 154 00:07:29,985 --> 00:07:32,865 Speaker 3: doing this for years. Get your bag, get paid. Also 155 00:07:33,105 --> 00:07:36,545 Speaker 3: in terms of the whole putting it on over makeup thing, like, yes, 156 00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:38,585 Speaker 3: obviously that is not how you use that product, I 157 00:07:38,665 --> 00:07:41,585 Speaker 3: totally get that. But knowing what I know about Joanne 158 00:07:41,585 --> 00:07:44,145 Speaker 3: from Nobody Wants This, that woman has no idea how 159 00:07:44,225 --> 00:07:46,985 Speaker 3: skincare routine works. And I think it's fine exactly. 160 00:07:47,025 --> 00:07:49,305 Speaker 2: And also if my skin looks like hers after using 161 00:07:49,305 --> 00:07:51,145 Speaker 2: Advance that repair, then sign me up. 162 00:07:51,345 --> 00:07:54,145 Speaker 3: Yeah. Maybe she's onto something. Maybe we should be doing that. 163 00:07:54,145 --> 00:07:56,225 Speaker 2: That's your beauty edit for this week. Let's get back 164 00:07:56,265 --> 00:07:57,905 Speaker 2: into your dilemmas with Kelly and Amy. 165 00:07:59,105 --> 00:08:01,345 Speaker 4: I couldn't help, but wonder ask me anything. 166 00:08:01,425 --> 00:08:04,945 Speaker 1: You ask many questions. Question number one do you want 167 00:08:04,945 --> 00:08:05,945 Speaker 1: to read? Or shall I? 168 00:08:05,945 --> 00:08:09,825 Speaker 4: I will go on all right, So what do you 169 00:08:09,545 --> 00:08:12,265 Speaker 4: do when your young tween wants to shave their legs? 170 00:08:12,345 --> 00:08:15,185 Speaker 4: This is such a rite of passage. This person's young 171 00:08:15,265 --> 00:08:18,785 Speaker 4: tween has just asked to start shaving their legs. The 172 00:08:18,865 --> 00:08:22,145 Speaker 4: mom feels like their kid is too young, but she 173 00:08:22,185 --> 00:08:24,145 Speaker 4: also doesn't want her kid to be the only one 174 00:08:24,185 --> 00:08:27,225 Speaker 4: at school that hasn't shaved their legs. So what's a 175 00:08:27,305 --> 00:08:29,625 Speaker 4: mum to do. Do you tell them to wait it out, 176 00:08:29,945 --> 00:08:31,465 Speaker 4: or do you take them to the store and buy 177 00:08:31,505 --> 00:08:35,785 Speaker 4: them their first razor. I have such a vivid memory 178 00:08:35,825 --> 00:08:38,945 Speaker 4: of the first time that my legs were shaved. And 179 00:08:38,945 --> 00:08:41,505 Speaker 4: I say my legs were shaved because my mum did it. 180 00:08:41,625 --> 00:08:45,105 Speaker 4: I was in the bath. She knelt on the side 181 00:08:45,145 --> 00:08:47,505 Speaker 4: of the bath. She did it for me. She had 182 00:08:47,545 --> 00:08:52,625 Speaker 4: the shaved cream. She made it this whole experience, and 183 00:08:52,825 --> 00:08:56,665 Speaker 4: you know, very delicately up the legs, showed me exactly 184 00:08:56,745 --> 00:08:59,345 Speaker 4: how to do it. When was your first, like leg 185 00:08:59,385 --> 00:09:01,265 Speaker 4: hair removal experience. 186 00:09:01,905 --> 00:09:07,305 Speaker 1: I was pretty young because I was hairy shocker, probably eleven. 187 00:09:07,025 --> 00:09:09,185 Speaker 4: If I reckon, I was in year six or seven. 188 00:09:09,305 --> 00:09:11,505 Speaker 1: I was in I remember definitely I was in your 189 00:09:11,545 --> 00:09:13,665 Speaker 1: six because people were making fun of me at school 190 00:09:14,585 --> 00:09:16,825 Speaker 1: and I asked Mum, and at first she was like no, 191 00:09:16,905 --> 00:09:18,945 Speaker 1: but then she said I could use Vat a hair 192 00:09:18,985 --> 00:09:22,745 Speaker 1: removal cream, not sha oh my god, that's just unmel oh, 193 00:09:22,865 --> 00:09:29,305 Speaker 1: that just unlocked. These days they smell much nicer, yuck. 194 00:09:29,945 --> 00:09:33,065 Speaker 1: But I was really really hairy, And yeah, you would 195 00:09:33,065 --> 00:09:35,025 Speaker 1: have been too. We your was red or fair. 196 00:09:35,585 --> 00:09:40,905 Speaker 4: My leg hair is strawberry blonde. It's red, strawberry blonde. 197 00:09:40,985 --> 00:09:44,225 Speaker 5: It's like, it's not the color of my hair that's 198 00:09:44,465 --> 00:09:48,185 Speaker 5: picturing like a No, it's strawberry blonde. 199 00:09:49,105 --> 00:09:50,025 Speaker 1: Strawberry blonde. 200 00:09:50,185 --> 00:09:52,105 Speaker 4: Don't ask me if the carpet mache. 201 00:09:52,105 --> 00:09:55,145 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I wasn't going to do they though, ye. 202 00:09:56,345 --> 00:09:59,945 Speaker 4: So, but anyways, back then, that's hot. So look, I'm 203 00:09:59,945 --> 00:10:04,385 Speaker 4: not a parent, but I do think, especially now with TikTok, 204 00:10:04,505 --> 00:10:07,545 Speaker 4: like our twins today are not the twins that we were. 205 00:10:08,105 --> 00:10:11,265 Speaker 4: They are not that really ork, you know, that kind 206 00:10:11,265 --> 00:10:13,425 Speaker 4: of phase. It's so much pressure now from such a 207 00:10:13,505 --> 00:10:17,025 Speaker 4: young o they go through. I know, they look stunning. 208 00:10:17,465 --> 00:10:21,425 Speaker 4: They ten going on twenty five actually, so I think, 209 00:10:21,825 --> 00:10:24,585 Speaker 4: you know, what was the right age for us when 210 00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:27,705 Speaker 4: we were tweens is probably different now. At the end 211 00:10:27,745 --> 00:10:30,665 Speaker 4: of the day, it comes down to every parent and 212 00:10:30,705 --> 00:10:33,945 Speaker 4: the parenting decisions they want to make. I will say 213 00:10:34,625 --> 00:10:37,705 Speaker 4: that removing hair from a standpoint of like what's actually 214 00:10:37,785 --> 00:10:40,265 Speaker 4: happening there, it's not going to make their hair grow 215 00:10:40,305 --> 00:10:45,305 Speaker 4: back thicker. It's not gonna change anything physiologically. 216 00:10:44,665 --> 00:10:45,905 Speaker 1: Other than removing the hair. 217 00:10:45,985 --> 00:10:48,745 Speaker 4: So don't feel like there's this weight on you of 218 00:10:48,825 --> 00:10:52,105 Speaker 4: like this is a life changing decision, And am I 219 00:10:52,145 --> 00:10:54,105 Speaker 4: doing it too young? Am I setting them up for 220 00:10:54,185 --> 00:10:55,705 Speaker 4: some kind of complex that they're going to have in 221 00:10:55,745 --> 00:10:56,185 Speaker 4: the future. 222 00:10:56,545 --> 00:10:57,145 Speaker 1: We all have. 223 00:10:57,185 --> 00:10:59,745 Speaker 4: Our own complexes, but my leg hair is the least 224 00:10:59,745 --> 00:11:04,225 Speaker 4: of them. Body image issues, emotional eating, sure, but leg 225 00:11:04,265 --> 00:11:06,865 Speaker 4: hair no. So I would just say, if she's asking, 226 00:11:07,065 --> 00:11:10,025 Speaker 4: there's obviously a reason why she's asking, and. 227 00:11:09,945 --> 00:11:11,985 Speaker 1: I think, maybe do what my mom did and kind 228 00:11:12,025 --> 00:11:12,545 Speaker 1: of make. 229 00:11:12,385 --> 00:11:14,385 Speaker 4: It like a in not a cringy way, but a 230 00:11:14,465 --> 00:11:15,985 Speaker 4: joint experience. 231 00:11:15,505 --> 00:11:18,865 Speaker 1: Somehow, like a learning moment. I could not agree more. 232 00:11:18,905 --> 00:11:22,585 Speaker 1: And I just think that in the scheme of big deals, 233 00:11:22,625 --> 00:11:25,625 Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. And when it comes to 234 00:11:25,665 --> 00:11:28,625 Speaker 1: something that she's probably so self conscious about, that isn't 235 00:11:28,665 --> 00:11:32,505 Speaker 1: a big deal. It's not like getting a piercing or 236 00:11:33,265 --> 00:11:36,825 Speaker 1: getting I don't know, a really expensive face cream or something. 237 00:11:36,825 --> 00:11:39,145 Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be a big event. It can 238 00:11:39,185 --> 00:11:42,225 Speaker 1: be a non event. And I just think for what 239 00:11:42,265 --> 00:11:45,905 Speaker 1: it would do for her confidence, it's definitely worth just 240 00:11:46,025 --> 00:11:49,585 Speaker 1: letting her. I think that we overthink things because it's 241 00:11:49,665 --> 00:11:52,265 Speaker 1: essentially a haircut for your leg hair. So if you 242 00:11:52,425 --> 00:11:55,745 Speaker 1: cut the hair on your head, it's really not a 243 00:11:55,745 --> 00:11:57,505 Speaker 1: big deal to the hair on your legs. 244 00:11:57,545 --> 00:11:59,705 Speaker 4: I mean, I get it because it's like, you know, 245 00:11:59,785 --> 00:12:01,625 Speaker 4: every beauty standard. 246 00:12:01,665 --> 00:12:03,785 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm presuming that you know. 247 00:12:03,905 --> 00:12:06,905 Speaker 4: When i'm if and when I'm a mum, I'm going 248 00:12:06,985 --> 00:12:10,505 Speaker 4: to be thinking, there's so many any messages that I 249 00:12:10,545 --> 00:12:12,585 Speaker 4: want my if I have a daughter, I want her 250 00:12:12,625 --> 00:12:16,345 Speaker 4: to receive. But at the same time, it's just hair, 251 00:12:16,505 --> 00:12:18,745 Speaker 4: where like living in the world that we're living in, 252 00:12:18,945 --> 00:12:21,345 Speaker 4: and it's just one of the things and is what 253 00:12:21,385 --> 00:12:23,585 Speaker 4: it is. What I will say is that if you 254 00:12:23,665 --> 00:12:27,465 Speaker 4: do let your twins start shaving, then she's probably going 255 00:12:27,545 --> 00:12:31,505 Speaker 4: to have one of those core moments of cutting your shin, 256 00:12:32,465 --> 00:12:35,065 Speaker 4: of absolutely hacking your shin. 257 00:12:35,585 --> 00:12:38,225 Speaker 1: Does that happen anymore with the razors? Oh? 258 00:12:38,265 --> 00:12:41,825 Speaker 4: Absolutely. I think all these twins, they do their makeup, 259 00:12:41,825 --> 00:12:43,625 Speaker 4: they do their skin care. Let's ensure that they have 260 00:12:43,745 --> 00:12:46,345 Speaker 4: one of these embarrassing experiences, which is. 261 00:12:46,465 --> 00:12:48,345 Speaker 1: Walking around a toilet paper that balls up on. 262 00:12:48,385 --> 00:12:52,425 Speaker 4: It, or you're wearing like me at the Christmas Carol's concert, 263 00:12:52,585 --> 00:12:56,345 Speaker 4: wearing a short skirt with my band aids up my 264 00:12:56,385 --> 00:13:00,225 Speaker 4: shins because I'd literally just thought that I could do gross. 265 00:13:00,265 --> 00:13:05,265 Speaker 1: Next, Jazz has dmd US and oh my goodness, help listen. 266 00:13:05,425 --> 00:13:07,345 Speaker 1: I feel like this one's a little bit topical as well, 267 00:13:07,345 --> 00:13:09,345 Speaker 1: and we may be too. I really hope she hasn't 268 00:13:09,385 --> 00:13:12,225 Speaker 1: done it anything. I just got the worst haircut of 269 00:13:12,225 --> 00:13:14,585 Speaker 1: my life. I went to a new salon and the 270 00:13:14,585 --> 00:13:16,985 Speaker 1: stylist just butchered it. I feel like I'm wearing a 271 00:13:16,985 --> 00:13:18,825 Speaker 1: helmet on my head and I'm so embarrassed to go 272 00:13:18,905 --> 00:13:21,105 Speaker 1: to work. How do I survive the next few weeks 273 00:13:21,185 --> 00:13:23,145 Speaker 1: until it grows out? Is there any way to fix 274 00:13:23,185 --> 00:13:24,625 Speaker 1: it without a looking worse? 275 00:13:25,145 --> 00:13:27,745 Speaker 4: These things happen a lot right in the U Beaudy 276 00:13:27,745 --> 00:13:30,385 Speaker 4: Facebook group. I can't tell you how many posts are 277 00:13:30,385 --> 00:13:31,745 Speaker 4: in there that's. 278 00:13:31,545 --> 00:13:33,825 Speaker 1: I went to it. Yeah, I went to a new stylist. 279 00:13:33,905 --> 00:13:38,145 Speaker 4: What I do do I tell them, yes, I would say, 280 00:13:38,145 --> 00:13:39,625 Speaker 4: you've paid money for a service. 281 00:13:39,865 --> 00:13:41,825 Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's literally nothing that they can do. 282 00:13:41,945 --> 00:13:43,905 Speaker 4: But at the very least, maybe you can get a 283 00:13:43,945 --> 00:13:47,065 Speaker 4: refund it true, or you can I don't know. You 284 00:13:47,105 --> 00:13:50,945 Speaker 4: just get the validation of them god them acknowledging that. 285 00:13:50,865 --> 00:13:51,985 Speaker 1: Your hair looks awful. 286 00:13:52,185 --> 00:13:55,905 Speaker 4: Yeah, so number one, I would say, document we take photos. 287 00:13:55,905 --> 00:13:57,145 Speaker 4: Get someone to take photos. 288 00:13:56,825 --> 00:13:58,385 Speaker 1: From the back of your helmet head. 289 00:13:58,505 --> 00:14:02,345 Speaker 4: Yeah, let them know, Hey, I'm really unhappy with the service. Also, 290 00:14:02,545 --> 00:14:04,545 Speaker 4: it's a nice thing to do for the next person 291 00:14:04,585 --> 00:14:07,545 Speaker 4: that's going to that hairstylist, Like, you know, let them 292 00:14:07,585 --> 00:14:10,585 Speaker 4: know that, hey, this are not okay. But what I 293 00:14:10,625 --> 00:14:14,025 Speaker 4: would say is, if you've got time, you can afford it, 294 00:14:14,065 --> 00:14:17,305 Speaker 4: you can be bothered. I would go somewhere else, like 295 00:14:17,345 --> 00:14:20,345 Speaker 4: another salon that you trust, or somewhere that you recommend 296 00:14:20,345 --> 00:14:22,625 Speaker 4: from a friend, or just a really like one that 297 00:14:22,665 --> 00:14:25,505 Speaker 4: you've heard a lot of people. Go there and call 298 00:14:25,545 --> 00:14:27,985 Speaker 4: them up and let them know, like hey, this is 299 00:14:28,025 --> 00:14:31,385 Speaker 4: a fixed job, or on Instagram. Go in and just 300 00:14:31,425 --> 00:14:33,665 Speaker 4: see what can be done, because maybe they can at 301 00:14:33,705 --> 00:14:36,225 Speaker 4: least do something that you know, it's not what you 302 00:14:36,305 --> 00:14:39,105 Speaker 4: wanted in the first place, but it's less helmet and 303 00:14:39,185 --> 00:14:42,025 Speaker 4: more kind of French bob. 304 00:14:42,105 --> 00:14:44,145 Speaker 1: But I don't know, I just feel like she needs 305 00:14:44,185 --> 00:14:48,265 Speaker 1: to stay away from scissors. Oh yeah, yeah, you. 306 00:14:48,305 --> 00:14:48,865 Speaker 4: Can just go. 307 00:14:49,665 --> 00:14:51,625 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, hats are very in now. 308 00:14:51,785 --> 00:14:54,185 Speaker 4: I see a lot of gen zs wearing hats around 309 00:14:54,185 --> 00:14:56,425 Speaker 4: the office they like all day inside. 310 00:14:56,505 --> 00:14:58,785 Speaker 1: Whereas as a millennial, I'm like, no, no, you take 311 00:14:58,825 --> 00:15:00,745 Speaker 1: your hat off indoors. It's very rude. 312 00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:02,705 Speaker 4: So I reckon you could do a hat. I mean 313 00:15:02,705 --> 00:15:06,785 Speaker 4: it depends what industry. Oh that is so on trend. 314 00:15:07,225 --> 00:15:09,545 Speaker 4: Oh and she's got one I do. 315 00:15:09,865 --> 00:15:11,905 Speaker 1: And I actually didn't prepare this earlier.

I mean, listen, 320 00:15:23,305 --> 00:15:23,945 Speaker 1: that didn't work. 321 00:15:23,985 --> 00:15:27,465 Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, yeah that's it.

I 341 00:16:22,905 --> 00:16:25,505 Speaker 4: feel like I'm just always in leggings and a messy bun. 342 00:16:25,665 --> 00:16:28,105 Speaker 4: I want to feel a little more put together and 343 00:16:28,185 --> 00:16:32,505 Speaker 4: well sexy again, but I have no time or energy. 344 00:16:32,665 --> 00:16:34,665 Speaker 4: What are some small, easy things that I could do 345 00:16:34,745 --> 00:16:37,105 Speaker 4: to feel like myself again. I want to feel sexy. 346 00:16:37,145 --> 00:16:40,705 Speaker 1: So okay, she wants to feel sexy. You're a mum. 347 00:16:41,385 --> 00:16:44,305 Speaker 1: Oh I never feel sexy, but I don't want to 348 00:16:44,545 --> 00:16:45,265 Speaker 1: because yuck. 349 00:16:47,065 --> 00:16:48,425 Speaker 4: I don't want to feel sexy. 350 00:16:48,585 --> 00:16:51,185 Speaker 1: No, I didn't. I was at a Hens party recently 351 00:16:51,585 --> 00:16:53,985 Speaker 1: and then one of the strippers because he was trying 352 00:16:53,985 --> 00:16:55,745 Speaker 1: to get me to do something, and I was like, ill, no, 353 00:16:56,505 --> 00:16:58,585 Speaker 1: I'm a mother, No, I said to him. I said, 354 00:16:58,585 --> 00:17:00,025 Speaker 1: I know I look like a ball of fun, and 355 00:17:00,065 --> 00:17:02,465 Speaker 1: I know I look like I should be sexy, but 356 00:17:02,545 --> 00:17:04,905 Speaker 1: I am not. And then he sat down next to 357 00:17:04,985 --> 00:17:07,105 Speaker 1: me and he told me that sometimes he doesn't feel sexy. 358 00:17:07,185 --> 00:17:09,665 Speaker 1: I started talking about details, and then I suggested you 359 00:17:09,865 --> 00:17:13,265 Speaker 1: a shoehorn, which you know you can use that information 360 00:17:14,145 --> 00:17:15,065 Speaker 1: as you please. 361 00:17:14,785 --> 00:17:17,945 Speaker 4: Okay, or a therapist maybe, yeah, But tell me before 362 00:17:17,985 --> 00:17:20,345 Speaker 4: and after being a mum, do you relate to this 363 00:17:20,425 --> 00:17:22,345 Speaker 4: feeling and feeling differently in yourself? 364 00:17:22,425 --> 00:17:25,185 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I felt, I reckon, it's only in 365 00:17:25,185 --> 00:17:27,905 Speaker 1: the last year that I don't feel just like a 366 00:17:27,945 --> 00:17:31,385 Speaker 1: sack of shit at all times. Like just even when 367 00:17:31,385 --> 00:17:34,705 Speaker 1: I would get dolled up, I still felt disgusting. Yeah, 368 00:17:34,745 --> 00:17:37,345 Speaker 1: because I was always just so tired and grumpy and 369 00:17:37,425 --> 00:17:40,025 Speaker 1: touched out. And yeah, I honestly think it's only the 370 00:17:40,065 --> 00:17:42,225 Speaker 1: past year. So when you've got and you've got two 371 00:17:42,385 --> 00:17:44,865 Speaker 1: little kids, it's gonna take you a bit longer. Jessica, 372 00:17:45,265 --> 00:17:48,265 Speaker 1: Wait was that her name? Yes, Jessica. So what I 373 00:17:48,305 --> 00:17:50,585 Speaker 1: do think, though there's nothing wrong with tights, there's nothing 374 00:17:50,625 --> 00:17:53,465 Speaker 1: wrong with leggings, Like, there's so many ways that you 375 00:17:53,505 --> 00:17:56,105 Speaker 1: can dress them up a little bit, doing things like 376 00:17:56,185 --> 00:17:59,545 Speaker 1: always do your eyebrows. If I have my eyebrows done, 377 00:17:59,625 --> 00:18:02,465 Speaker 1: I feel like I look more put together. So get 378 00:18:02,465 --> 00:18:04,945 Speaker 1: them waxed, to get them tinted, whatever it is that 379 00:18:04,985 --> 00:18:05,625 Speaker 1: you need. 380 00:18:05,545 --> 00:18:08,305 Speaker 4: So that they look agreed. I put like a lash 381 00:18:08,385 --> 00:18:11,665 Speaker 4: tint as well. It's like you know that kind of thing, 382 00:18:11,745 --> 00:18:14,465 Speaker 4: which they can do literally at the set they can 383 00:18:14,465 --> 00:18:17,905 Speaker 4: put the lash tint on then and do your brows, 384 00:18:17,945 --> 00:18:20,465 Speaker 4: so it's not going to take extra time. But little 385 00:18:20,505 --> 00:18:23,385 Speaker 4: things like that that will have impact when you look 386 00:18:23,385 --> 00:18:24,305 Speaker 4: in the mirror. 387 00:18:24,025 --> 00:18:27,465 Speaker 1: Because you won't look like a half dead fossil. 388 00:18:28,025 --> 00:18:30,545 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just kind of like you just start. We're 389 00:18:30,585 --> 00:18:34,025 Speaker 4: just raising the bar where we're starting, just that little bit, 390 00:18:34,585 --> 00:18:37,665 Speaker 4: and you're gonna feel just a bit fresher when you 391 00:18:37,665 --> 00:18:38,345 Speaker 4: look in the mirror. 392 00:18:38,545 --> 00:18:41,065 Speaker 1: Use a gradual tan. The nooser bronze one is really 393 00:18:41,065 --> 00:18:43,785 Speaker 1: good couple of times a week, just to give your 394 00:18:43,865 --> 00:18:46,825 Speaker 1: skin a bit of a glow, because that tends to 395 00:18:46,865 --> 00:18:48,665 Speaker 1: make me feel like if I look in the and 396 00:18:48,905 --> 00:18:53,785 Speaker 1: itches then that's never good. I also think a tinted 397 00:18:53,825 --> 00:18:57,065 Speaker 1: lip gloss because you're gonna be putting that on anyway. 398 00:18:58,225 --> 00:19:00,465 Speaker 1: Something with a bit of a kick of color in 399 00:19:00,505 --> 00:19:02,385 Speaker 1: it is going to just brighten you up and make 400 00:19:02,425 --> 00:19:06,785 Speaker 1: you feel better. And every single day make time for 401 00:19:06,825 --> 00:19:10,385 Speaker 1: your skin care, even though it seems probably impossible. I 402 00:19:10,465 --> 00:19:13,545 Speaker 1: do mind while my kid's in the bath, because I'm 403 00:19:13,585 --> 00:19:15,585 Speaker 1: sitting there right next to him. Anyway, can find a 404 00:19:15,625 --> 00:19:18,505 Speaker 1: pocketive time. You can always find a pocketive time to 405 00:19:18,505 --> 00:19:21,225 Speaker 1: do your skin care, and I promise you you will 406 00:19:21,305 --> 00:19:23,265 Speaker 1: look and feel so much better. 407 00:19:23,425 --> 00:19:27,785 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think those are all excellent recommendations. I will 408 00:19:27,825 --> 00:19:30,665 Speaker 4: add a few, and obviously not from the experience of 409 00:19:31,185 --> 00:19:33,425 Speaker 4: being a tired mum, but just things that make me 410 00:19:33,505 --> 00:19:35,905 Speaker 4: feel good and put together and maybe a bit sexy, 411 00:19:35,985 --> 00:19:38,705 Speaker 4: because I don't mind feeling a bit sexy. 412 00:19:38,745 --> 00:19:41,065 Speaker 1: Now again sexy. 413 00:19:41,465 --> 00:19:44,265 Speaker 4: I know you're going to be really busy and you 414 00:19:44,345 --> 00:19:48,705 Speaker 4: probably don't have time, but I personally swear by like 415 00:19:49,025 --> 00:19:51,905 Speaker 4: washing your hair, like I always feel better with clean hair. 416 00:19:52,185 --> 00:19:56,025 Speaker 4: Always gross, you feel gross.
