Speaker 1: I love the food. I was a little nervous because

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: I had never been to the Dominican and I just

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if I wasn't like the food. I had

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: heard certain things, but thank goodness, all of those things

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: that I heard were wrong. I had a fabulous time

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: you guys, and I want to go back. So my

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: friends and I got a house. I had rented the house.

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: I had booked the house like a couple of months ago.

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to go for a while. I had

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: booked actually my first trip to Dominican Republic in two

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: thousand nine, and I wasn't able to go because my

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: stepdad had passed away. He was actually in the hospital

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: during my birthday, and I just felt BATTLE was like,

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: I can't leave, Like my siblings are going through a lot,

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Johnny and Jessica. So I had to cancel. My friends

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: went without me. They came back and they're like, oh

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, it's fabulous. The men are sexy all this ship.

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: So I was like, damn, it I need to go,

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: so sending so for my thirty seventh birthday, you guys,

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: and what can I tell you? I went with the

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: mindset of I'm going to just relax, not be on

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: my phone as much. So the first few days it

45
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: was just myself and a couple of friends, a few friends.

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: It was four of us. It was just girls. So

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: the people that joined me were my friend Heleno Choa,

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: who is also a singer. We have a song together,

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: you guys, if you haven't heard it, it's called It's

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: with Heleno Choa. And so she's a really good friend

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: of mine. We became friends a couple of years ago.

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: The crazy thing is that we had beef that wasn't

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: even our beef, and then finally when we sat down

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: and talked, everything was just like what people had just

55
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of put us against you each other for like

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: a ridiculous reason. One day, maybe we can get on

57
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: the podcast and we'll talk about it. She's totally awesome.

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: The crazy thing is, if you guys know Helen, she's

59
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: always with her husband Jp. They just got married last year.

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: They just celebrated their first year anniversary in March, and

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: usually they're together. So my plan was, Okay, we'll do

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: girls first and then the guys, can you meet us later?

63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: But JP had to work, so he had to stay behind.

64
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: So this is like the first time that they were

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: separated for this long in fifteen years. You guys have

66
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: been together for fifteen years. I was nervous because I

67
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, Helen, are you gonna be okay? And

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: she was She was like, I miss him, but I

69
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: think this is good. I think we both need this.

70
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: He had to work. I'm vacation and I planned this

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: a couple of months back, and he understands. So that

72
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: was Helen and it was amazing. Helen is funny, Helen

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: is talented. Helen has a big gass booty. Oh my god,

74
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: maybe I'll share some pictures on social media of her ass,

75
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: but it's enormous and it's beautiful. But anyways, that's Helen.

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Shout out to Helen. And then there's Duty Sea. She

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,960

101
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: were just like super excited, kind of nervous because I've

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: never left anywhere for that long. I thought, I'm probably

103
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: gonna want to come back early because for me, four

104
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: or five days max, and then I get homesick. But

105
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: I did not. You guys, like I didn't get tired

106
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: of my friends. I was like, oh my god, we're

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: cool because I think we're grown. And each of us

108
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: would just go into our room if we needed space,

109
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like we needed to be on top

110
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: of each other. Sometimes people were just laying out at

111
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: the pool reading or on the phone working because we

112
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: all like worked while we were out there, Like they

113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: were doing their things online. Helen had her interviews. I

114
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: was doing things for be Flawless and stuff like that.

115
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes wouldn't even talk for hours, but we were laying

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: in the pool area. So it's just it's just different,

117
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: Like I feel like, I don't know, I love the

118
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: group of friends that I have right now. So anyways,

119
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: that's who went from the and then on they that's

120
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: when the media got there. I mean it was my

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: boyfriend and Jennica and Valve Valle Is, Jenica's best friend.

122
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: So that's when they got there, and Emilia was the

123
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: only boy on the trip. You guys, my whole plan

124
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: was for the boys to get there later, but everyone

125
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: was busy, so Emilia just ended up going. And you know,

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: he was supposed to get there on my birthday on

127
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: the twenty six, but he's like, no, I want to

128
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: make sure that I'm there when the clock, you know,

129
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: strikes twelve. So he made sure to get there on

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: and it was awesome. As soon as he got there,

131
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: I swear to you, this guy, he got a drink

132
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: in his hand, he got buzzed, he took off his

133
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: clothes and jumped in the pool. I think he was

134
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 1: just so tired from like traveling. But anyways, I left

135
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: l A on the two. When you go to Dominican Republic,

136
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: you have to stop in Miami or New York, no

137
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: matter what. Right, So we stopped in Miami. So I said, okay, cool,

138
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: we'll spend that night in Miami. So that night on

139
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: the twenty we celebrated my birthday. Vanessa, Judy and I

140
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: with a friend of mine, Louliz. Her name is Loulise

141
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: that lives in Miami. So we went out that night.

142
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I got so buzzed. So she took

143
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: me to this place called Al Santo in Miami. I

144
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,880

154
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: Then she's like, let's go to El Santo. And I

155
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I'm not dressed to Santo. She's like, no,

156
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: no, no no, it's chill. It's totally your vibe. I'm like, okay, cool.

157
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: We were all in tennis shoes, like I didn't want

158
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: to be in high hills or anything. She was, of course,

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Luliez is very like you know, her dress and her

160
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: cute little like heels and everything. She looked really cute.

161
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: But my friends and I we were just in she'll

162
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: last clothes. But oh my god, we had so much fun.

163
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: We smoked hooka and I think that's what gave me

164
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: a headache because I didn't have a hangover. Usually at hangovers,

165
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: but the next day, dude, not one that by way. Anyways,

166
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: we go to Santo. We don't get to the room

167
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: until four in the morning. Mind you, we had to

168
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: be at the airport at six thirty. How we did it,

169
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea. My friend Judy was still buzzed.

170
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: I had to wake her up, literally drag her out

171
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: of bed. I was like, we gotta go. She said,

172
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, leave me here. I'll meet you there.

173
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: I was like, absolutely not. I don't leave a soldier behind.

174
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: Get up. So I put on her shoes, I put

175
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: on her That was like literally botosita. I had to

176
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: like drag her out. Thank goodness for the driver that

177
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: was there. We made it to the airport. And then

178
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: when we get to the airport, the lines, Oh my god,

179
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: we're crazy. I went to five different checkpoints until finally

180
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have ever heard of clear,

181
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: but if you don't use it, it's amazing to use

182
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: it when you travel. So Vanessa went through her her way,

183
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: and then Judy and I went another way. She didn't

184
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: have t s a. Finally we get through. Thank God

185
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: for clear We get through and we make it. Oh.

186
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I was hungover. I had a headache.

187
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: It was more because of the hooka because I smoked

188
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: a lot of hookah that night and I think I

189
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: just overdid it. But anyways, we made it to the

190
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic and that was like the pre birthday, so

191
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: we land. The first few days that we got there, well,

192
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: we went skinny dipping. I told the girls, I said,

193
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: you guys, I want a skinny dip. So I made

194
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: them all get naked, and they were very shy. I'm

195
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: not that shy. I wish I was a little bit

196
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: more shy, but I'm usually like, okay, I'll take up

197
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: my clothes. It could be a good and a bad thing.

198
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: But anyways, I made my friends get naked. And the

199
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: house is private, so we did have a chef and

200
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: we had a butler. And it was really cool because

201
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I told myself, if you guys know me, you guys

202
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: know that I love to throw parties. So usually I'm

203
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: one to like throw big extravagant parties. But I realized

204
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: that I want to spend my money on experiences, so

205
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: I want to travel more. So that's why I was like, Okay,

206
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna go on vacation, what would be like

207
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: the ideal situation for me? I was like, okay, I

208
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: want a house. I don't want to worry about cooking.

209
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to worry about picking up after myself.

210
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: So that's why I was like, I'm gonna work really

211
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: hard and save this money. My friends and I were

212
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: saving for months, for a couple of months. Actually, well

213
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: that's the way we were able to experience. As I said,

214
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I need to do this at least

215
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: twice a year. So it was just it was amazing. Anyway,

216
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: So we went skinny dipping. What else did we do?

217
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: We went out that night, I think that Friday. It

218
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: was awesome. We went to this place. I'm sure you

219
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: guys have heard of Coco Bongo. They have it in

220
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: like Gongu and in places like that. Well they have

221
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: one in Dominican Republic. But we went to the bar

222
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: called Gongo, So it's right on the side, so that

223
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: was cool. And then that was like a little bit

224
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: more tourists, you know, like there were a lot of

225
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: tourists there. So I was like I told the driver,

226
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to go to somewhere more local.

227
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: So we went to this place called a Gun nothing

228
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: but locals. The music was about chat that, like we

229
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: were just having a freaking blast. And the crazy thing

230
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: is is like I I didn't get recognized, so I

231
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: was just chilling, you know what I mean, like having fun,

232
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: Like everyone was super nice. The food was delicious, you guys.

233
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just had a great time. And

234
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: going back to the food, you guys, because it's important

235
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: because someone had just told me they're like, oh my god,

236
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: well good luck because I didn't like the food and

237
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, well what do you mean and they're like yeah,

238
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: like I had a burger and it was so gross,

239
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: like I didn't know what to eat, and I'm like,

240
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: oh my god. I started getting nervous because it's like

241
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: I like to eat. That's one of the my favorite

242
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: things to do when I travel, is like try foods

243
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: and like enjoy it, you know, which is why I

244
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: love usually traveling in Mexico. But let me tell you,

245
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: the chef was awesome, dude. The entire staff from the

246
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: house was so they were so nice. It was crazy.

247
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: I had never experienced where like literally I wake up,

248
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: we go downstairs, food is ready, you don't even have

249
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: to do anything, and then right when you're done, like

250
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: with breakfast, you go back upstairs to getting your bikini

251
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: to go to the like to the pool, and the

252
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: beds already made, the windows are open. Like I was

253
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: just like what like every day and then before like

254
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: going to sleep, they would just set your bed ready

255
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: for you to just get in and they would turn

256
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: on the air conditioner like at the perfect temperature, close

257
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: the blinds. I was just like, oh my god, I'm

258
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: in heaven. Like I was like, this is what I

259
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: want to do, Like I wanna because usually like I

260
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: don't have anyone that helps me here at the house

261
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: but besides on me, of course, you know, but I

262
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: don't have like a you know, a lady like I

263
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: have it for a long time. So I was like,

264
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: this is a perfect way to like vacation. It was

265
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: just perfect, and the chef was top notch. I was

266
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, I don't want to eat any set

267
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: any pig. Other than that, we're all open to everything.

268
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: So breakfast, lunch, and dinner and snacks were taken care of,

269
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: like if we wanted to go to the store. We

270
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: brought some stuff like snacks before getting to the house

271
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: after the airport, so we had like chips and little

272
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: things like that gets, you know, like peppino, because you know,

273
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,000

274
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: my tain and Valentina. I sure did. I was like,

275
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: I had my friend Helen take some, and then I

276
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: had Emilio. I was like, just in case we run out,

277
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: because I meat the heine for my drinks for my fruit.

278
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: So we had that at the pool in the house.

279
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: It was crazy. They were like thinking we were crazy.

280
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: So yes, he made alas. I think this is really called.

281
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: Like the red beans were so good, and the white rice,

282
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. They made mofungle I believe it's called,

283
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: and then mango in the morning. And the chef I

284
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: once asked him and he got a little upset at me.

285
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: I was like, can you make that chicken that you

286
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: made yesterday? He's like, okay, Mida, I was like okay.

287
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I was like, why I want

288
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: the chicken? So he made it once. We only had

289
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: seconds once. Other than that, everything was like new. Every

290
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: day was something a surprise, and at dinner we had

291
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: like he would make a special poster for us every dinner.

292
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: But anyways, so right now, with like the new lifestyle

293
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: that I want to live, I'm trying not to I'm

294
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: not drinking any beer. No beer, no soda, not even

295
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: diet So do you guys and believe me, it's been hard.

296
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: And if I'm gonna drink alcohol, I'm trying not to

297
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: drink that much because you know, the old me would

298
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: drink ten shots of tequila without a freaking problem and

299
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: I'd still be standing like a g But now I'm like, okay,

300
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: let's cut it to four maybe five. So I was

301
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: drinking nothing. There was kind of hard to find tequila

302
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: because the drink a lot of rum out there. My

303
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: old drink was rum with diet coke. That's what I

304
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: used to drink. Now it's just a tequila shot on

305
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: the rocks with a splash of Pinya juice that he

306
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: in on the rim and lime. Dude. That was like

307
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: all we were drinking. And my friends were like, I

308
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: don't want to see any freaking pineapple juice for like

309
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: months because paple juice. But it just it tastes so good,

310
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: the pineapple with the tequila. Oh my god. But I

311
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: tried not to drink too much, but I did get

312
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: a little buzz. We did a whole yacht thing for

313
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: my birthday. The actual day of my birthday. We got

314
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: on a yacht and it was a really good price.

315
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: It's that wasn't actually it wasn't like an actual yaw

316
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: it was more of it. They call it the Catarran.

317
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: It's like not as big as a yacht, but like

318
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: it was a good size. And we just partied there

319
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: and got off and got in the ocean and everyone

320
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: was buzzing. It was so much fun. And you know,

321
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: even though Emilio was the only guy there, he's so

322
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: fucking chill, you guys, Like he's such a dope as guy,

323
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: and not just because he's my boyfriend, but he's really chill.

324
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: He let us do our thing. He never once told

325
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: me I feel weird that I'm the only guy. I

326
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: had already kind of mentally prepared him. I'm like, hey,

327
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: of course I want you to come. It's my birthday.

328
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: I want to celebrate my birthday with you, but I

329
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: also want to be with my girls. So he already knew.

330
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: That's the thing in relationships, you guys, something that we

331
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: don't do often or enough of is communicate before the

332
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: issue happened. So I made sure, Hey, this is what

333
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm planning, this is what I want to do. He

334
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: also communicated with me. We were on the same page

335
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: because the friends that went, I know them and I

336
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: trust them so much. It wasn't like I was worried

337
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: in any moment is he looking at them because they

338
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: were all in bikinis. They're showing their ass. They were

339
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: in thongs, you know what I mean. And they all

340
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: have big ass butts, you know. So I didn't think like, oh,

341
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: I didn't get jealous or anything because he's so respectful

342
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: as well, and my friends I trust them so much.

343
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: So it was just such a fucking cool as vibe,

344
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: and he catered to us. He took care of us,

345
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: like he made sure that we you know, we went

346
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: to the club and he took care of us, and

347
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: he made sure we got into the car safely. It

348
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: was great having him and no one felt weird and

349
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: now like my friends like love him even more like Vanessa,

350
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: like who doesn't like anybody? She was just like, oh

351
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: my god, she told me like five times, I really

352
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: like Immedial for you, like I see how he takes

353
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: care of you, like he's such a good guy, Like

354
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: I like him. Do you know I don't like anybody.

355
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I know. And of course Duty and

356
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: my other friend, she's been around Emilio a few times.

357
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: But you just when you're on vacation with someone, like

358
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: you get to know them on a different level. I

359
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: feel like people that you vacation with is super important,

360
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: like you have to be able to deal with them,

361
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, because you gotta know.

362
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: So now I feel like I found my vacation crew

363
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: and Immediate is a part of it. So it's cool.

364
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Now we're trying to plan Grace. Oh my god, I'm excited.

365
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: I want to go to Grace soap. But I've never

366
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: been you guy, So I mean I went to Greece.

367
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I went to Athens, but I didn't go like to

368
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: the Mikoos and Santorini, like I want to do all that.

369
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: So Greece is the next one. And I know a

370
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: lot of you want to know how I pack, because

371
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: I've been asked that before. You guys see on Instagram

372
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: people are like, oh my god, chickies, you have so

373
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: many luggages. Well, yes, when I go to work, I overpack.

374
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: When I go on vacation, I really overpack because I think, well,

375
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: what if I want to stay next to day, Well

376
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: what if I go out twice a day? What if

377
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: I want to change three times? So I took a

378
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of bikinis. I bought them last minute because

379
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: this last time that I cleaned out my closet, I

380
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: threw out on my bikinis, which is crazy, and I

381
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I think I have bikini. I guess

382
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I had forgotten. I don't know if they were misplaced.

383
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: I literally had one bikini when I was packing to

384
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: go to Dominican. So I had a hurry up and

385
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: buy a bunch of stuff. Thank goodness you guys for

386
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: beach bunny dot Com because they saved my life. I

387
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: literally went on I did Priority Express shipping because I'm

388
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: telling you I only had one bikini. That's like my

389
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: favorite brand right now. They're so comfortable and like, you know,

390
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: I have big boobs, guys. So I needed like something

391
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: that was going to actually fit. And yes, I didn't

392
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: have any nip slips, well maybe once, but other than that,

393
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: everything fit really nicely. And so I just I took everything.

394
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: I overpacked everything. It was awesome, you guys. It was

395
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: like a life changing experience. And I was talking to

396
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: my friend Judy, who also went, and she said that

397
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: she just came back different. We were all like in

398
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: the morning, we would pray and we had our moment

399
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: in the morning, like we would meditate and do our thing, like,

400
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: not together, just everyone in their rooms because the house

401
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: was huge. Everyone had their own room. So we were

402
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: just like all on the same frequency, you know, of

403
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: like we want to relax. We're not trying to be crazy,

404
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like we just literally relaxed,

405
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: and I just feel like my soul needed that. I

406
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I came back just grateful and ready to

407
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: work and I'm like, okay, like I'm gonna work harder

408
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: again so that I can have another vacation at the

409
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: end of the year next year. It's so important to

410
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: really have this time and it doesn't even have to

411
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: be anywhere crazy like Dominican Republic or even like we're

412
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: so lucky, you guys, to be able to just cross

413
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: the border to Tajuana if you can, you know, obviously,

414
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: you know, but it's so close. We have beaches. We

415
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: like people that live in California were blessed. You guys are,

416
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: like there's the desert, there's everything everywhere. So even if

417
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: it's just a weekend thing to do and just say okay,

418
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disconnect, it helps so much and say, okay,

419
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put some money aside from every check into

420
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: an account so that I can call it like my

421
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: vacation account or whatever. You know. I hadn't done that

422
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: in a while. This is the first time I did

423
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: it for this trip. Because the flights were crazy. I

424
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: mean obviously right now, like fuel is going up, so

425
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: it was it was pricey, but like we planned it

426
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: very nicely, my friends and I and we all split everything,

427
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: so it was it was great. So yeah, guys, that's that.

428
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: And yes, now I'm thirty seven. I am proud to

429
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: say that I'm thirty seven. For a long time, like

430
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of women you feel like, you know,

431
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell my age, like I get it.

432
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: I was like that for a little bit, but now

433
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: I can probably say I'm thirty seven. I'm proud of

434
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: what I've accomplished in these years. I'm proud of what

435
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: I've learned, how far I've come, despite some setbacks, despite

436
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: some adversities, and I'm happy. I'm happy to say I'm

437
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: thirty seven, but I look twenty seven. You know that's awesome.

438
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: I think now more than ever, I just want to

439
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: take care of my mind, body, and soul. For me,

440
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: on a personal level, it's important for me to pray

441
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: and meditate every morning and it just sets the tone

442
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: for the rest of my day. And I'm really trying

443
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: to live in the present. I'm not trying to put

444
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: any pressure on myself or over extend myself. It's just

445
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: what am I doing today? What can I get done today?

446
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: And if I can't get it done today, it's okay.

447
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: If godana, I'll do it tomorrow. But now I'm going

448
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: to do this, and it takes off so much pressure,

449
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: so much stress from myself. Like I feel like sometimes

450
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: we stress ourselves out with wanting to do too much

451
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: and not know how to delegate. And I've learned to

452
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: just kind of let go and not try to control

453
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: every situation and should be like, okay, it is what

454
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: it is, and I'm ready, like I wrote on my

455
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: birthday post on Instagram, with you guys don't following me

456

Speaker 1: tell you something. I truly think that thirties is the

506
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: new twenties for sure. I feel like in my twenties, yes,

507
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: I was a little tighter. My skin was a little tighter.

508
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: Not my vagina is always been tight, but I'm talking

509
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: about my skin. Okay, maybe yes, my skin looked a

510
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: little bit tighter. But I feel like, mentally, in our thirties,

511
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: we know what we want and I can't even imagine

512
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: what my forties are going to be like I. I

513
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: want to be like a sexy, ast forty year old woman.

514
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm already, you, guys, I guess you can call me

515
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: a cougar, but not really right because I'm not that old.

516
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: But Emilio, my boyfriend is seven years younger than me,

517
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: So I gotta keep up. I gotta look cute so

518
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: all the time. So I'm gonna make sure I take

519
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: care of myself. But definitely, thirties are the new twenties,

520
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: and for sure forties are the new thirties already, guys.
