So She 43 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: started with my pantry, and then from there I was like, 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: can you you also like decorate and I love the 45 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: way you do it? 46 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: Can you do that? So she did that for me. 47 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: She did the entire house because when I first bought 48 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: this house, I was traveling and I didn't have the 49 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: time or the energy or the mental space to do it. 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: So I just said, here, this is kind of what 51 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: I want.

Okay, So 97 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: tell me what got you into organizing. I'm just curious 98 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: because it's something that was always a part of your life. 99 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: It is just something because it comes natural or did 100 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: it come natural or I don't know. Tell me a 101 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: little bit about that. 102 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually, what's funny is that during the pandemic, I 103 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: started looking through old childhood videos of myself. And at 104 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: this point I already had started my business. But I 105 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: found a video of myself at two years old, folding 106 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: perfectly with an iron and I had no recollection of 107 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: that being a part of who I was as a child, 108 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: neither did my parents. But clearly there was something there, 109 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: you know. But I got into professional organizing clearly by accident. 110 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: It was a Mother's Day gift for my mom. I 111 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 2: was going to do her pantry, her pantry is amazing, 112 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: but was a hot mess, and so I decided I 113 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: was going to figure it out. I was going to 114 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: redo it, and I did, and I posted pictures on Facebook, 115 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: some befores and afters, and people started commenting and they 116 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: were like, can you come do mine? Can you come 117 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: do mine? And I was like, why the heck not? 118 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: Might as well? So I started doing people's pantries and 119 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: then closets, and I was like, you know what, I 120 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: really love this. This is my passion. I at the 121 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: time was acting, so it wasn't like I was on 122 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: that path or on that journey, and I just took 123 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: a right turn and I was like, you know what, 124 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to double down on this, and I think 125 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 2: I can turn this into a really successful business. 126 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: That's what I did, and you definitely did because with 127 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: my pantry, you guys, mine was also a hot ass 128 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: mess and she color coordinated the candy and everything. It's 129 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: just you walk in there and it's so aesthetically pleasing 130 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: and everything is so easy to find. It's just I 131 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: was like, Wow, maybe I could have done this, but 132 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: it's like it takes. But then I sat there, I'm 133 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: like wait a second, no, Like I wouldn't have thought 134 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: about this to be on it. So I'm like, so 135 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: we need to know in our life. So that's awesome. Yeah, 136 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: But what I really want to talk to you about 137 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: is like helping people now, like organize. We're going into 138 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: like a new year, and it's like you want to 139 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: feel fresh and just start your year on the right foot. 140 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 1: So let's talk about what is one of the biggest 141 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: mistakes that someone does around the house to lead to 142 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: like a disorganized area. 143 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: I would say having too much stuff for the space 144 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: that you have is definitely the biggest mistake you can make, 145 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: because you need to live for what your current circumstances 146 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: are in your current space. I also think if your 147 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: storage isn't serving you, then you need to create storage 148 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: that basically holds what you have without going crazy. But 149 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: I will say that that is my number one thing. 150 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: I believe you should be at seventy five percent capacity 151 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: in all areas of your home. That gives you room 152 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: to increase, decrease, move things around, tetris a little bit, 153 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: and it gives you wiggle room because there are days 154 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: where things aren't perfect. Do you think my laundry is 155 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: perfect and put away one hundred percent of the time. 156 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely not, because being organized is not about being perfect. 157 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: Being organized is about having easy cleanup, having systems in 158 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: place so that getting your life back on track is 159 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: quick and easy. I live in a one bedroom apartment, 160 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: and if my apartment gets a little crazy, which a 161 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: one bedroom apartment can get real crazy, real quick, I 162 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: can set a ten minute timer and snap it back 163 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: in ten minutes. That is the key to being organized, 164 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,559 Speaker 2: because everything has a place. You know where it's going. 165 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: You're not trying to figure it out and make it work. 166 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: You know where it goes, you know what you have, 167 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: and you can you know, get back to square one. 168 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Everything should have 169 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: a place. And one thing I've noticed about myself is 170 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: that I'm very excessive, you know what I mean. Like 171 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: I feel like I buy one or two of the 172 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: same thing. It's like I should just have one and 173 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: when that's about to you know, run out or something, 174 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: I can get the other one. I have that thing 175 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: that I'm really trying to work through. But also, do 176 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: you suggest for people before they start organizing, obviously, like declutter, 177 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: like before you come into my closet. I'd like to 178 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: remove everything that I'm no longer using or no longer 179 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: fits me in order for you to come in and say, okay, 180 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to organize what you are going to wear, 181 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: for instance. 182 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 2: Yes, so I would say, I mean the biggest part 183 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: of organizing is what I call the edit, so basically 184 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: doing the decluttering, figuring out what you use. But it's 185 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: actually funny that you mentioned that you like to have 186 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: two of something, right. I actually believe that you're going 187 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: to think this is crazy and shocking, but I believe 188 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 2: that you shouldn't have just like one of everything. Figure 189 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: out what you actually like, what you actually wear. Double 190 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: down on that. So for me, I know what T 191 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: shirt I like, right, I like this one specific T shirt. 192 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: I like this cut, I like it in that size, 193 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: and these are the colors that I like it in. 194 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 2: And I don't have five different kinds of T shirts 195 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: where I'm constantly going to the same one. I have 196 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: five of the same T shirt because I wear them 197 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: all the time. That's who who I am and what 198 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: I believe is like the best thing if you feel 199 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 2: like you have to have a little black dress in 200 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: your wardrobe, because it's just like you have to, but 201 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: you never wear dresses. That's silly, right. You have to 202 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: curate your closet or your home in general to what 203 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: your needs are because everybody's needs are different, so there's 204 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: no formula. But you absolutely editing is the most important 205 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: part of organizing because you don't want to organize a 206 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 2: bunch of stuff that you don't need, and that's the clutter, 207 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: that's the clutter in your mind. 208 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, And that's how I feel right now. I'm like, 209 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: there's so much shit in my closet that I don't need, 210 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: that I don't wear anymore, that doesn't fit me, and 211 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: I hold onto it because I'm like, damn, it has 212 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: a price tag. But I'm like, you know what, I 213 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: can donate it, like, don't look at it. It's kind 214 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: of like paying it forward sort of thing. There's another 215 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: word for it. I can't think of it, but it's like, Okay, 216 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: donate it. Don't look at it, like you're throwing it out. 217 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: And that makes me feel better too, like I'm like, Okay, 218 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna donate it and hopefully this will help someone 219 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: else exactly. 220 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: There's that, and it's also making room for things that 221 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: serve you, because every single spot in Your house is 222 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: valuable and you don't want to be having it filled 223 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: up with stuff that doesn't serve you right, and it 224 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: also helps you to shop smarter in the future. So 225 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: you're gonna look at the things that have price tags 226 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 2: on them that you're donating, and you're gonna say, why 227 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: didn't I wear this because it didn't make me feel good. 228 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: I didn't like that color on me, it wasn't comfortable, 229 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: it required a specific kind of bra that I hate wearing, 230 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 2: and then you don't buy that again. That is key. 231 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: You learn exactly what you like, what fits your lifestyle, 232 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: and you cater what you have to that. It's also 233 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: important to remember that you don't have to declutter in 234 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: one big session. If you go let's say you open 235 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: your drawer and you're gonna grab a T shirt. If 236 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: you're moving past a T shirt because you don't want 237 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 2: to wear it, because it doesn't look good on you, 238 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 2: you don't like it, whatever, rather than just like pushing 239 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: past it and finding what you're looking for, just put 240 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: that into a basket. Start a donation basket, so it's 241 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: just you have that. 242 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 3: I've been doing that is like literally two months ago. 243 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: I started it. 244 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, this is like I'm not gonna wear 245 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: basket and I'm gonna donate it. 246 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm good. 247 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm on there. There you go, And honestly, it adds 248 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: up one little thing here and there, and then it's 249 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: like then you see the drawer differently every time you 250 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: go to it. It's just little pieces. Of course, a 251 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: huge edit and having a big pile of clothes that 252 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: you get rid of is amazing. But if that feels 253 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: too overwhelming, there's other ways of doing it, which like 254 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: the little donation basket. I always have one of those, going, 255 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 2: are you kidding me? 256 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: Yeah?

And the first celebrity that 264 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 2: reached out to me was Jordan Woods and she just 265 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: DMed me one day and I had like no followers.

Labels. 341 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: Labels is so so key to being able to maintain 342 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: a space because there's accountability and it's also communication with 343 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: everyone in the house. Usually it's not just one person 344 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: in a home. Usually there's multiple people using a space 345 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: and you don't want to have to micromanage it or 346 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: you be the only one that knows where things go, 347 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: So you need to have labels. They don't need to 348 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: be too specific. It could just say snacks or breakfast 349 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: or whatnot. Okay, so labels is key. What else? Ooh? 350 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: One thing is if you notice that there's like an 351 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: area that constantly gets cluttered, so like let's say by 352 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: the door, or like there's a spot in your bedroom. 353 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: I'll give use my fiance as an example. He likes 354 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: to put clothes that are not like fully dirty, but 355 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: not fully clean, just like on the dresser on the top, 356 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: and that literally drives me bananas. So instead of being 357 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: annoyed by it, I decided, Okay, we need to figure 358 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: out a solution for this. So there's a spot near 359 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: his nightstand where we put a basket and that's where 360 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: the stuff goes. That's not clean enough for the closet, 361 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: but not dirty enough for the hamper. We all have 362 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: those things, you know, like jeans or whatever. Yes, So 363 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: it's figuring out a system around your habits rather than 364 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: thinking overnight you're just going to have totally new habits, 365 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: because that's not realistic. We take our shoes off in 366 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: one specific spot, we put our keys down in one 367 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: specific spot, at a hook, at a bowl. Figure out 368 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: what you need in order to add some sort of 369 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 2: order to that problem. 370 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, congratulations on your engage a glue. So I 371 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: have a new fiance, right, and he does the same 372 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: exact thing your fiance does. And that was my question 373 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: because now, yeah, I'm learning to pick and choose my battles. 374 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to argue about the silliest things. 375 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: So now I'm just like, Okay, if it is now 376 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: that you mentioned is easier for him because it's always 377 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: on his side of the bed and I can't see 378 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: it because I'm on the right side and he's like 379 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: on the side. But I don't walk that way a lot. 380 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: So there's socks and then pants that again he wants 381 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: to wear. 382 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: Ah, the sock, yes, the sock, Yeah, I'm just like, 383 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: why why are they under the bed or like under. 384 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: The Like I'm just like I can't you know the 385 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: night stands that I have because you put them there. 386 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: So it's not like you can hide it. It's like 387 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: open and there's just stuff or like you know, like Postmates, 388 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: and he just leaves it there. And it's like he's 389 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: not dirty, He's not a dirty guy. He's just messy. 390 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: He's just like, oh, I'm gonna wear it again, so 391 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: I just left it there, But like it bothers me. 392 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: What's funny is that? And something that I've learned with 393 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: mine is that sometimes they're looking for a system. They 394 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: don't know how to say, like hey, I never know 395 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 2: where to put X, Y and Z, so they just 396 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: like do it and they can't like necessarily always verbalize 397 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: like it'd be great. But like sometimes I'll put a 398 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 2: system together or like organize his desk or something, and 399 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: he's like, oh my god, wow, that is so much 400 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: much better. I'm so and then uses that system. So 401 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: I think sometimes it's figuring out what that thing is. 402 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 2: Like maybe I'm putting a basket on the side of 403 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: his bed near the nightstand and that gets cleared every 404 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: few days or whatnot, because maybe that he's looking like 405 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 2: I don't know where to put these. 406 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: You know, and that's what he tells me. You totally 407 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: gave me a solution. I'm just like, I think what 408 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to do is just organize it for him 409 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: and be like, hey, this is what I suggest and now. 410 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: And I've noticed that once I do it, I'm like, okay, 411 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: the towels or you know, even our little Q tips 412 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: and stuff like, I'm like, okay, this is where can 413 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: you just this? This is where you replenish it or 414 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: how And he's like, okay, cool, yeah, awesome. I'm like, 415 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: it's like little things. It's not like they do it 416 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: on intentionally. They're trying to be inconsiderate. It's just I 417 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: think you just have to guide them a little bit 418 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: more because they're thinking about other things. I don't know. 419 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: I think there's just different personality types. I think some 420 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: people are aware of that, they're aware of their space, 421 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: and then there's people that just aren't. And I think 422 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: there's then there's also people in the middle. I feel 423 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: like it's not a passive aggressive thing to like organize 424 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: his stuff and leave a system. I think it's like 425 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 2: a way of helping, Like this is a skill that 426 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: I have, and I can help you to like have 427 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 2: a better system so you can find what you need 428 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: and then they can offer you guidance in other ways 429 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 2: that other skills I don't have, like tech, you know, 430 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 2: like this mic setup today, I didn't set that up. 431 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: I don't have that skill whatsoever. And so it's kind 432 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: of like it's a skill and some people have it, 433 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: some people don't. Some people need it to be to learn, 434 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: you know, and they can they can learn because they 435 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: have the drive, but it's not natural. So I think 436 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 2: that it's like a good thing. Figure out where those 437 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 2: holes are, what are those things that are really frustrating 438 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: and difficult and annoying to deal with, and then figure 439 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: out solutions around them because they're not going to change. 440 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: They're not going to change overnight. So it's just like 441 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: accepting that breathing right and you know, then just doing it. 442 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I definitely don't want to come off as 443 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: like passive aggressive or feel like he feels that I'm 444 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: like his mom and I'm trying to organize his life 445 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: because I'm trying to Obviously I'm not trying to emasculate 446 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: him in any way. It's just I like things a 447 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: certain way, and now that I've gotten older, and now 448 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: that you've organized my life, I want it to stay 449 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: that way. 450 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: I'm like, dang, now that I'm. 451 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: Older, I'm so particular, I'm so anal about certain things. 452 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: I just want things a certain way. And that's it. Like, oh, 453 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: you are preaching right now. Yeah, I'm like, what is 454 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: happening to me? I was like, I wasn't always like 455 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: this before. I'm like, okay, now I'm like, no, I 456 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: can't leave the house until this isn't its place. And 457 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 1: it's just getting it's getting a little like worse, you know, 458 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: or better. I don't know. I don't know if it's 459 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: a bad or good thing. It's just it's what it is, 460 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: you know. 461 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: It's everything in moderation, labeling, and also just like you 462 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: want to have control of your space, because there is 463 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 2: it's a subconscious thing. But we don't have control over 464 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: a lot of things in life, but we have control 465 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: of our surroundings. So at least for me, I feel 466 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 2: like when I'm feeling stressed out, when I'm feeling anxious, 467 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 2: that's when I'm like the bathroom is a mess. I 468 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: have to redo it, and I get a little crazy, 469 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 2: And I think it's just because I can control that, right. 470 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: I can't control what else is happening, right, and things 471 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: that you know are bigger than I am. But I 472 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: can control the way my bathroom sync looks, and I 473 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 2: can control that my clothes are put away, And so 474 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 2: I think it's like gaining feeling control, and I think 475 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: that it's a good outlet. I think though, also in moderation, 476 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: you don't want to go so far that then it's 477 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: like you can't live your life because if it's not perfect, 478 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: you're not happy. So I think it's you know, somewhere 479 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: in the middle of that and making it realistic. Okay 480 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: that honestly, I know we're talking about organizing, but like 481 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: I feel like we're having a little bit of a 482 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: therapy session because right now that you said that, I'm like, 483 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 2: I guess that's what it is. I'm like, I just 484 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: I can control this one thing and I want it 485 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: to be okay. And then my mind for some reason 486 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: has this space and I'm like, Okay, now I can 487 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: think about work and everything else I have to do, 488 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 2: but my home, my cars, even I cannot with a 489 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: dirty car. I'm like, I can't, Like if not, I 490 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: can't think it's like if that's I'm right, okay. I 491 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 2: think it's part of it is just taking control of 492 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: your space, Like take control of it, get that energy out, 493 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: set a timer. I mean, my advice is always to 494 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 2: put on a podcast and do an activity within that podcast, 495 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 2: because it's like your mind is working, you're thinking, but 496 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: you're thinking about something else. Right, So I'm thinking about 497 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: the conversation I'm listening to, or I'm thinking about the 498 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: story I'm listening to, and my mind is going, I'm 499 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: getting some stuff done, and then it's like, Okay, now 500 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 2: what do I have to do? Like what do I 501 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: have that I big that I need to accomplish, or 502 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 2: that I have to deal with, or that I have 503 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: to emotionally handle. I mean, I know, organizing is a 504 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 2: physical thing, right, it's your space, it's your surroundings. But 505 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 2: it's also very, very very emotional, and I feel like 506 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,719 Speaker 2: a lot of my clients don't realize that, especially when 507 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 2: they do a closet edit. Like people sometimes have a 508 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: mental breakdown. They like they just start crying because they're 509 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 2: so relieved, and they didn't even realize they were so 510 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 2: stressed out by it. So I think it's just your surroundings, 511 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 2: your environment. Knowing what you have or where it is 512 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: can affect your ability to accomplish things every day. 513 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: I con oh my god, yes, And I realize is 514 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: that now that I've gotten older. 515 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, this is what it is. 516 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: It just makes everything better for it to be in 517 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: its place, you know, And I just have to control 518 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: a little bit more. And I understand that it's it's okay. 519 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: Even if the scissors aren't where I put them in 520 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: the drawer and they should be there, then it's okay. 521 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: I think. 522 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: Now you gave me this amazing idea. I'm gonna buy 523 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: myself a label maker, think ye. And I'm gonna label 524 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: the shit out of everything. Yep, I'm gonna label everything. 525 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: He's here, scissors here, just the cleaning supplies because I'm like, 526 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: why is this cleaning supply? Because I did this the 527 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: other day. I organized and then I'm like, why is 528 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: this cleaning thing? I'm like, they all go together, you 529 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: see it, But maybe people don't see what I'm saying 530 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: because I organized it. 531 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 2: That's totally true. Like everybody sees things differently. I mean, 532 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: trust me, I see it on a daily basis. I'll 533 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: be like, what, that's what you But organizing is also 534 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: like my number one tip and how to figure out 535 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: where you should put things. As you close your eyes 536 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: and you think, where would I look for that? Where 537 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: would I look for the batteries? And that's where they 538 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: should be? And everybody's answer is different. And some people 539 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 2: say in the garage and some people say in the 540 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 2: I say, with my tools. Everybody has a different answer, 541 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: but it has to be where you would think it 542 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: goes and then label it because everybody thinks differently. 543 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, okay, cool, I'm going to do that. I 544 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: love shoes and I love bags, and I know a 545 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: lot of women out there do too. I used to 546 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: do this, and I don't know. It was a little frustrating, 547 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: but let me know if I did good. 548 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 3: Okay. 549 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: But I bought like a bunch of plastic containers and 550 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I put my shoes in the containers, and then I 551 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: took pictures of my shoes and I put the Is 552 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: that good? 553 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 554 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 3: Okay? 555 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: Because I think I want to do that again because 556 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: right now in my closet they're open.

I like category and then within 622 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: that color blocking or color coordinating, but I feel like 623 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: the category is more important, So like jackets together, and 624 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: within jackets maybe like having blazers from casual sweatshirts and 625 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: sweatpants should be together, dressy tops, basic tops, pants, skirts, 626 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: Those are the categories that I feel like are important 627 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: and it's better to have those categories separate than deal 628 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: with color. 629 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 2: Of course, I'm extra so I do color within the category. 630 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 2: But okay, if that sounds super overwhelming, you don't have 631 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: to do that. 632 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: Okay, now that you mentioned jackets and stuff. I had 633 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: a friend that used to do this, and I don't 634 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: do this, but she would put all her winter stuff 635 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: during summertime away and just bring out like her summer 636 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: stuff out. 637 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 2: That's what I do. Okay, I do that because I 638 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: don't have a lot of space. So because I'm tight 639 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: on space, I have to be kind of vicious about, 640 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: you know, making sure that my summer spring stuff is 641 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 2: away so I could pull my fall out, which I 642 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: literally just did this weekend. It was so fun. But 643 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: I think that even if you have enough space, it's 644 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: really fun to do that. Because I didn't even remember 645 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: doing this, but I put like some yoga stuff away 646 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 2: that was like hunter green colors and they were like 647 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 2: more fall colors, and I put them away to make space, 648 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 2: and I forgot I did that, and then when I 649 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 2: pulled them out, I literally felt like I won the jackpot. 650 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: I was like, this is amazing. I have new leggings. 651 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 2: They're not new. I've had them maybe four or five 652 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: years now, but because I did that seasonal swap, it 653 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: made me feel like they were new, which was a 654 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: really fun, special feeling. 655 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 3: I love that feeling. 656 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: So I think that it's a really great thing to do. 657 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: And it's you want your stuff in your closet to 658 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 2: be stuff you're wearing current.

So why see it on the shelf instead 661 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 2: put it away and then pull it out in spring 662 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: and then it's like so fun and exciting and you 663 00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: feel like you got a new wardrobe. 664 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're so right.

I don't know, I 672 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: think this is just me being like finding excuses, but 673 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, just in case I stay in extra day, 674 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: just in case I need my big bottle of shampoo, 675 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: Like it's ridiculous because everything's always overweight. Then it spills 676 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: and it's just it's honestly, it's ridiculous. But I can't 677 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: help it. I mean, are there any tips besides I know, 678 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: getting the travel sizes? 679 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 2: So actually what's crazy is that I'm also an overpacker 680 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: because I can pack a suitcase real, real good because 681 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: I fold like really perfectly.

And my friend is 686 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: a stylist, my friend Robin, So she came over and 687 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: she was like, Okay, we're gonna do this my way, 688 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: and I was like, show me Away's girl, and she 689 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 2: basically was like, Okay, what are you gonna wear on 690 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: the plane?

Okay? What do we And she like moved 693 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: my shoes around to like whatever, and she took a 694 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: picture of each bundle of whatever, of each little outfit. 695 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: I have never packed so perfectly for a vacation. I 696 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 2: had everything I need and for some stuff, I packed 697 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: like some stuff I rewore because I was like, oh, 698 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 2: I can rewear this. But I had plenty and I 699 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 2: had an extra outfit or two and I was fine. 700 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: And I felt like I didn't have to spend any 701 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: brain power figuring out what I was gonna wear when 702 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 2: I was on vacation, because I was like, this is 703 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 2: the outfit that was picked for me today, and I 704 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: felt like I looked like a million bucks. My suitcase 705 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: was perfect. It was game changer. So I say, lay 706 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 2: everything out out really specifically, and then you'll see what 707 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: shoes you're naturally bringing, what bags you can naturally mix between, 708 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: and then you put your bra and underwear with that outfit. 709 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 2: So what bra are you wearing with that outfit? What 710 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 2: underwear are you wearing with that outfit? What socks are 711 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 2: you wearing with that outfit? So you have everything right there, 712 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: it's not like at the end you then have to 713 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 2: gather at all. It was amazing. 714 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 3: It's probably a game changer. 715 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 1: And do you put like your jewelry or like, hey, 716 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear these little earrings with it, you take 717 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: a picture.
