So what are the 86 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: listeners want to know this time? This is a very 87 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: great question. So this question is how do you juggle 88 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: double life? Does that ever make you feel like people 89 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: in your personal life are not genuinely here from you? Interesting? 90 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: That's a good question, you know. I want to say, like, 91 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: this definitely makes me feel like hashtag no new friends. 92 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 1: I think that like people that are newer to my life. Um. 93 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: I know I'm not talking about anybody in particularly, but 94 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: like if they're a newer friend, like I'm fully more 95 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: um with, like I have my guard up a little 96 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: bit more like if you've known me pre podcasts, like 97 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, obviously we've been friends for a long time, 98 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: but now I'm definitely more hesitant as to who wants 99 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: my energy and why. That's very real. I think that 100 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: the struggle that I have juggling the double life is 101 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: you know, I get so tired, and when I am 102 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: tired and I'm just like very low energy, it's hard 103 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: for me to show love and appreciation to the people 104 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: in my personal life because I like just want to 105 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: sleep or just be by myself, especially when so much 106 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: of what we do is talking talking talking talking and 107 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: talking to others and socializing and the panels and the 108 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: workshops and the events, and we love it and it's 109 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: all very fun. On top of that, I'm a teacher, 110 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: so I'm talking to talk all day. I would I 111 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: think about that whenever we're going to go facilitate, I'm like, damn, 112 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: Mama has been like literally presenting and talking all day long. 113 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: So you know, like that double life. It's the double 114 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: the energy, and I feel I feel bad that I 115 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: can't genuinely be there for those that I love all 116 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: the time. But you know, I think, as the as 117 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: the project continues to grow, this is a good problem 118 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: to have. Just have to figure it out. And I 119 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: haven't figured it out yet, But part of it is 120 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: because we don't have like a stability. We're still in 121 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: flux as it continues to grow, so I don't know 122 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: it'll level out. I think eventually, Yeah, you know, I 123 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: do want to say, like, I had this experience where 124 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: somebody messaged me because they said, like I love your energy, 125 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: like I'm just like so drawn to you and gravitated 126 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: to to you, and like would it be okay if 127 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: like we meet up for dinner or lunch or coffee 128 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: or something, and like it seemed generally interested in being 129 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: my friend. Well I did, and the vibe was a 130 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: little bit weird. I'm not gonna lie, and then it 131 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: turned out and I remember that this person was like, 132 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about them in of like previous 133 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: where they like basically um had a picture on the 134 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: Instagram that was like not okay, and when community members 135 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: tried holding them accountable, blocked everybody, and then we were 136 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: And then we were held accountable for this person because 137 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: we had worked with her on a shoot. So then 138 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: this person goes to us, and it really hurt me 139 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: because this person came at me like they wanted to 140 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: be my friend and was actually really disingenuous and then 141 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: ended up just like sucking ghosting me. And I'm like, oh, 142 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: this is how you treat your friends. So I think 143 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,239 Speaker 1: that experience really taught me, Like even on the professional 144 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: level if the vibe isn't necessarily right, like just then 145 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: don't do it, like just trust that and like trust 146 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: your intuition. And I didn't, So I think back now, like, oh, 147 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: had I actually listened to what my gut was telling me, 148 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have got into all of that, you know, 149 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: And it was definitely a lesson for us, I think 150 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: as the platform was growing and how to like respond 151 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: to like community accountability and calls and action. So I 152 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: think if there's a silver lining, it was that, you know, 153 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: it taught us how to respond to that. It was 154 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: definitely a major lesson. That was a learning process the 155 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: entire beginning to end, because literally from the beginning to 156 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: the end, like there were funck ups and there were 157 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: lessons about each like element. And I think too, it's like, 158 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: look like in the Latin X creative space, the POC 159 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: creative space, so much of our dialogue and our rhetoric 160 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: is about community, community, community, community, community, So then I 161 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: think we sometimes forget that community also includes complete strangers 162 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: that we actually don't know at all. And that's also 163 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: a hard truth to tell and to recognize and be 164 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: realistic about. Someone can be your your fucking neighbor and 165 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: be a fucking stranger to you. You know, just because 166 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: you're technically in community does not mean that you have 167 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: the best intentions for us or that or that we're 168 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: going to vibe or that there's you in an organic 169 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: friendship there. We can hold space for each other, we 170 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: can respect each other, we can make room for each other, 171 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: but that doesn't Community doesn't mean that you have to 172 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: give it all up and let your whole guard down 173 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: and let people in and trample all over. I think 174 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: that's a big lesson that for me, just kind of 175 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: observing how a lot of this community rhetoric can actually 176 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: be weaponized or can be kind of dangerous. Yeah, it's 177 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: almost like you have to be accessible to everyone, and 178 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: actually I don't know the content can be accessible for everyone, 179 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: but me as a person like I don't necessarily need 180 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: to put myself out there for everybody, you know and all. Yeah, 181 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: so I mean I think, yeah, like that's it does 182 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: make me question who's genuinely here and who's not. You know, 183 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: But you know, we learned as we go, Yeah, we 184 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: learned as we go. I mean we have now in 185 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the past three years, I think we can identify, like 186 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: who are real ones are because they really have been 187 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: showing up for us over and over and over again. 188 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: Um our team, our fames, you know, whether that's like 189 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: our illustrators, our friends and family who volunteer at our 190 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: life shows and events, like the folks that help us 191 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: put our creative projects together, who are respectful when we 192 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: want to keep things low in secret, you know, like 193 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: they're really and they're working, They're putting in work. That 194 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: is for me, a sign of love and mutual respect. Absolutely. Yeah, 195 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: And I think it also shows us, like, you know, 196 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: to equally show up for for our our people that 197 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: do show up for us, you know, and like how 198 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: are we supporting them? And how can we love on 199 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: them publicly you know and love out loud the way 200 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: we ask folks to love out loud for us. How 201 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: can we do that for them too? Absolutely, it's all 202 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: a process. Who yes the word? Next question? Alright? So 203 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: it is graduation season, y'all, And we have gotten this 204 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: question multiple times in the past few years. So this 205 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: question is graduating in May. So by the time this 206 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: is how you've already graduated. Congratulations. How was leaving college 207 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: and going back home? How was that change? So we 208 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: have talked many, many times about graduating college and then 209 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: moving back in with our families, and here's the gags. 210 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: We're still with our families. I've been out of college 211 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: for five years, and that's what we were talking about, 212 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: like before we started recording. Like it's funny that we 213 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: get this question, not because it's like not a good question, 214 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: but because it's like we've actually been out of college 215 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: for a while now, you know, and it's like it 216 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: feels like it was just recent, but no, it's actually 217 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: been a few years. Like I graduated in so it's 218 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: been a while. It's been a while. And I think 219 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: that the political climate, the economy, the wild craziness of 220 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: the world. I think college is crazier right now than 221 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: it was when we were there. I think current college students, 222 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: like our listeners who fly us out and stuff, are 223 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: dealing with some ship that at a different level of intensity. 224 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: They're dealing with like white supremacy like at its peak, 225 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: not that it's ever been gone, but people are just 226 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: so much more emboldened to be lick about it um 227 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: And I think that that's what makes it different than 228 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: when we were in undergrad Like Barack Obama was still 229 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: president so not that things were like fucking fine and dandy, 230 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: because we know that they weren't, like you know, but 231 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: the political climate was definitely different. Yeah, So you know, 232 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that our experience necessarily will always speak 233 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: to what today's graduates are dealing with. But the thing 234 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: about moving home, moving back home is like I was 235 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: talking to Yessica about this the other day because I 236 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: think there are so many of us who are like 237 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Latina Latin X creators and such who are at home. 238 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: Like We're not the only ones. There's a lot of us, 239 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: a lot of us, And I think that, you know, 240 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: there is this sort of weird social pressure to like 241 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: go live on your own, meaning don't live with your family, 242 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: go rent somewhere, have multiple roommates, give your money to 243 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: a rando landlord, pay all kinds of money and fees 244 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: to go live far away from your family or apart 245 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: from your family. But it's like for what for to 246 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: who's to whose benefit? Who is benefiting there? Now I'm 247 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: speaking as someone who has a great relationship with my family, 248 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: and my family loves me and they would have me 249 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: stay there until the day I die, Like they don't 250 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: want me to go. You know, and they're not an 251 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: abusive family, Like, they're very loving, so I can be 252 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: there and be happy and healthy. That's not true for everybody, 253 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: but it's like moving home does not have to be 254 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: a bad thing. We can think of it as instead 255 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: of giving my money that I work hard for to 256 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: some random white landlord, I'm giving my money to my 257 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: grandmother directly. Right. If I'm going to buy food, I'm 258 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: helping to feed my family. Right. If I'm going to 259 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: do any kind of if I'm going to do any 260 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: kind of labor like in the yard or whatever, it's 261 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: like benefiting the community, the household. That's how I think 262 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: about it. And I think that, you know, find the 263 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: value in it. Yeah, you know, I feel the same way. 264 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: Like I'm was fortunate enough to come back home and 265 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: my parents, Well, my mom is a homeowner, you know, 266 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: so I I help my mom pay the mortgage, and 267 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: I would rather that so that eventually she can her 268 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: home as opposed to renting to someone and having like 269 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, we live in a in l A like 270 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: there's a housing crisis. You know, there's no rent control 271 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: or there is, but it doesn't necessarily you know, it's 272 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: not for every single building. You know, it is very minimal. 273 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: So you know, when I think about that, like I 274 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: would rather, you know, help my mom one day own 275 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,359 Speaker 1: the home completely and you know, pay off the mortgage. Um, 276 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: and you know that he has a yard, Like that's 277 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: important that my dog is a yard, and like exactly 278 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: what you're saying when I'm thinking about communal living. You know, 279 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: my house very much operates almost like roommates would because 280 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: they're all adults now, so we all have our chores, 281 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, and like my mom will very much like 282 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: take there's three dogs, so they'll take care of all 283 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: of our dogs. Then like we like make sure we 284 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: feed them in the morning or we try to remember 285 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: to feed them in the morning. And like today I 286 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: walk the dogs, like and I'm not we were talking 287 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: about like walking everyone's dog, and like, well that means 288 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: I have to walk everyone dog, right, not just that 289 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: I can't just walk my dog. I have to walk 290 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: all yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah. But I'm like, okay, 291 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: that's my part in like helping everybody else out, you know. 292 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I think that there there's definitely 293 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: like a lot of benefits if you want to see 294 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: it that way, you know, But if you do come 295 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: from a family, maybe that's not as supportive, especially if 296 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: you're you know, queer or you know, you're out and 297 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: about and you're trying to live your life and you 298 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: come from a probably likely most likely a Catholic background, Like, 299 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: it can be difficult. It can be hard. I mean, 300 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: I like I was hiding my tattoos the first year 301 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: that I was back home, you know, like it wasn't 302 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: a walk in the park either, and I was adjusting 303 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: and the dating and then not coming home and like 304 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: my parents were like working on the stuff, right, you know. 305 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's like an ongoing situation, right because even 306 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm twenty seven now, but that is I would say 307 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: maybe for me, the hardest part about being at home 308 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: is like how does the sex happen? Like this morning 309 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: I got home at six six am morning, right, you know, 310 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: on my on my hole ship because Niosa texted me. 311 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: She was like, oh, how are you, Like, how how 312 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: was it?

But it was so funny 319 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: because you know, obviously I'm a grown as woman, like 320 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: if I want to hook up, I'm a hook up. 321 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: But then I had to tell this dude like, oh, 322 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: I gotta get home from my grandpa wake, like I 323 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: have a one hour window before she wakes up.

Yes, 431 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: most definitely. UM. I have been in holistic skincare for 432 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: ten years. I've been in and out of the spot 433 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: since I've been eighteen, so I'm thirty one now, so 434 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: it's it's been a long journey. I've started making products 435 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen, um, just because like you said, um, 436 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a common thing in my clients 437 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: using expensive products, going to Sephora or to Alter and 438 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: getting these products that s where you know, we'll cure 439 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: or to you know, get rid of acne or any 440 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: kind of element. And um, really I started realizing that 441 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: I was hurting my clients and I was, you know, 442 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: not how only healing them properly. And so I took 443 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: a step back from the spas and I actually educated 444 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: myself through going through their stores and sourcing books on 445 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: homeopathic remedies and holistic living. Um, and that just all 446 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: came yeah, all at once, and so I started really learning, um, 447 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: how to really reconnect with with Earth, because I mean, 448 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: all of these were, all of these powders and all 449 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: of these clays have been accessible forever, I mean since 450 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: as second Mayans or Cleopatra. We hear about all these 451 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: ancient rituals that that people used to use. And so 452 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: I feel like that's it's it's super important now in 453 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: this age to reconnect with that. And I'm really hone 454 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: in on on that as well. UM. So that is 455 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: pretty much what I've been doing for the past twelve years, 456 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: is making products and really really uh focused on UM, 457 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: really focused on reconnecting people with Earth and really getting 458 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: into using clay and using antioxidant powders and realizing that 459 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: all of these natural ingredients can help you, UM and 460 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: can cure whatever skin problem that you do have. You 461 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: had that ancestral knowledge, right, yes, that ancestral knowledge that 462 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: FAM technology, and I'm I'm looking, you know, at your 463 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: bio right now and seeing how you source your ingredients. 464 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: You source your ingredients from different mercados in Mexico. And 465 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: this comment on mercado culture, and you know here in 466 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: l A we're all about our swap meats and our 467 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: flea markets and as a source of culture, of commerce, 468 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: of trading all this good stuff, could you talk a 469 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 1: little bit about that mercado culture and sourcing your ingredients. Yes, 470 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: most definitely. So. I had been going UM in and 471 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: out of Mexico for like the past two years with 472 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: my family. UM. My father's partner is Mexicana. So going 473 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: to the fl A lot really changed my perspective on 474 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: the Medicago culture because it's so different from here in 475 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: l A. It's it's. Um, it's a lot more abundant, 476 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: should I say, just because there's more space for that 477 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: to allow um latinos or to allow that culture to 478 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: to be expensive in that way. UM. So really just 479 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: immersing myself seriously, guys, I like seriously walked around the 480 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: f a Mexico city, and I walked and through every 481 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: single Mechica though where I can get, like where I 482 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: can go basically and really just asking questions and UM, 483 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: it's so funny because I do have broken Spanish, but 484 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: it's it's it was also humbling because they actually appreciate 485 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: it that that I wanted to learn how to speak 486 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: Spanish properly and learn um, all of the benefits of 487 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: each powder's. Um, there's a lot of powders in Mexico 488 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: that you can't source over here in the States. Um, 489 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of ingredients that are only grown in 490 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: southern Mexico or in different parts of Mexico. So um, 491 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: those ingredients are very sought after and very special and 492 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm so privileged to be a will to source these 493 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: ingredients out there. Um. It's it's uh, it's definitely been rewarding, 494 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: and it's definitely open my mind to to realize that 495 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: this culture is super important and it's uh, it should 496 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: be documented and it should be filmed. And that's why 497 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: I like to incorporate video and I like to incorporate 498 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: travel and food as well into Bruheit. The skincare so buhat. 499 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: The skincare is not just a skincare brand. It became 500 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: like this whole lifestyle, like making it timeless and making 501 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: it super relatable to people. And that's what I got 502 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: out of walking through these Chicago's was like, I really 503 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: want to bring this back home and show people that 504 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: this is a fucking world out here that is so 505 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: alive and just really welcoming and really just like welcoming 506 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: all kinds of people from all walks of life. And 507 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: there's something really nourishing in that, for sure, and there's 508 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: something very open about that. And I really think it's 509 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: important to really like tell my audience the community. I 510 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: don't like to say followers. I feel like that's a 511 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: dumb word. Community, you know. I really want to share 512 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: with the community that this is out here, you can 513 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: go here, It's accessible to everyone, there's no needs to 514 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: be afraid at all. Yeah, you know, I I like 515 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: how you're describing the evolution of Bruhita to a skin 516 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: from a skin care line to a multimedia project, right, 517 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: and how um the traveling right and like ethically sourcing 518 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: the your products has allowed it to become its own 519 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: project itself, right and has grown had had there's been 520 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: a need for it to grow to a multimedia project. Yes, Um, 521 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: that's been such a bruit is only a year and 522 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: a half old, it's not even two years yet and 523 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,959 Speaker 1: mild right, and so it's like I really am just 524 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: learning like as it goes as the growth that just 525 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: like comes upon it, Like bruita is just growing. It's 526 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: like a teenager now pretty much. I feel like she 527 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: lost her training wheels and she's like off like driving 528 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: a freaking car now, you know. So it's it's pretty 529 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: crazy to see the growth about it. And I really 530 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: do get inspired by music and by film and and 531 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: uh some music and film is highly inspirational to me. 532 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: And um, really incorporating that into Buduhita, into my photo 533 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: shoots the video shoots as well is super important. Um. 534 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: I think what I really wanted to do is is 535 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: the most important factor about Bruhita is being relatable and 536 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: not like out of reach, that this dream isn't out 537 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: of reach, Like you can be chilling in your bathtub 538 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: and have fun. You can be wearing these facial masks 539 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: and feeling good and it doesn't have to feel like 540 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: this UM, like this elitist product that you're using or 541 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: something like that. It's it's something that I want to 542 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: be for everybody, and that's yeah, that's really when I 543 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: want to show, like within the all time media of 544 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: like taking the photos and um doing the video and 545 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: most of my photos I am naked, and I just 546 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: want to show like that vulnerability of like it's okay 547 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: to be vulnerable and it's okay to show your skin 548 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: even though you may not be comfortable in it, because 549 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: there's times where I'm not comfortable in it as well. 550 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: But to be in this like Bruhita element or this 551 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: like light that it has, it's it's very rewarding. It 552 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: I learned a lot about myself and the things that 553 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: I can actually do. And you know it, Bruhita stems 554 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: from like in the beginning of Bruhita, was bullied and 555 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: this person had body shamed me and it was so 556 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: important to me to like not get back at them 557 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: or anything, but like or or talk anything negatively back 558 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: to them, which is like a super impulsive thing, normal 559 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: thing to do. And so what I realized was, like, 560 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure this person sees like my 561 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: body every everywhere, you know, and it's a person on Instagram, know, 562 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: a person who I've known for a long time ended up. Yeah, 563 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: that's kind of like the root of Bruhita as well. 564 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: I had a business like before Bruhita you mentioned. Yes, 565 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't a stetition, and I had a business before that, 566 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: and it was a product line as well, but it 567 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: had a different total intention to it. It was very 568 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: all about making money and just about that. And I 569 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: feel like that's where the passion was lost. And eventually, 570 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, the business and the friendship that I was 571 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: aligned with that grew apart as well. And so you know, 572 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: when this person did finally body sham me, it was 573 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: like this eye opener to like, I'm going to make 574 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: sure like this person like realizes that they have no 575 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: effect and that Bruhita is still going to go on. 576 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: I was named Bruchita by the vendors in the me 577 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: I was, can you talk about the naming? So I 578 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: was first named Bruhita by my friends and d F 579 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: and I took it as like a term of endearment, 580 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: because yes, I am a little witch. I brew up 581 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: my concoctions, you know, I feel and and so I 582 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: just thought it was like a cute thing until I 583 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: went into the mechago and the vendor was like, why 584 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: do you need like fifteen kilos of tepisco eiti? Like 585 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: he was so onto me, like why do you need 586 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: thirty pounds of tepisco ey? And so I told, what 587 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: is that? For our listeners who don't know, and I 588 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: don't know. Tepisco Ei is a tree, so it only 589 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: grows in southern Mexico and Brastil. So it's a super 590 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: sought after ingredient. And by that, I mean it's really 591 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: important to healing the skin and he kind of burns 592 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: any kind of sun damage. There's a super crazy story 593 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,239 Speaker 1: behind it. Um I butcher. I butchered the story all 594 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: the time. But I know, like the little bits and 595 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: pieces of it. Um a village in Mexico. Um like 596 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: caught on fire, and a lot of it caught on fire. 597 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: To the point where like people were getting burned up 598 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: and dying, and so they found tepisco eiti and they 599 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: started putting tepisco eity just like a pace, just simple 600 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: water in the tepisco eti powder, and it healed like 601 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: many of the villagers from like second degree their degree burns. 602 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: And so that's how they realize that the pisco ethi 603 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: was a miracle ingredient and that it can heal wounds. 604 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: So acne is a wound. I consider it a wound. 605 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: When you pick out it, it hurts immediately. So um yeah. 606 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: Trying out the pisco ethi and experiencing it and experience 607 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: it all my clients by facials, I learned that it 608 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: really does help and cure acne. It's pretty amazing. It's 609 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: pretty amazing what you do when you open your mind 610 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: up to other things that you don't know, the unknown, 611 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: and then you find out that it's here to help. 612 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: And mostly anything that comes from Earth is here to 613 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: help you. We're connected to Earth like biochemically, like chemistry wise, 614 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: like we are connected to Earth. So anything that we 615 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: put on Earth vibes um it's it sinks in and 616 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: absorbs super easily into the skin. So that's why organic 617 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: and like unrefined oils are super important. And like organic, 618 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: I don't say these powders are clayser again it because 619 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: they come from earth, so that's like the rawest, purest 620 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: form of Earth. You're the second person, like the second 621 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: like fem techie to tell us, like about how our 622 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: skin like absorbs some you know, what you put on 623 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: it and then it goes into your bloodstream essentially, It's 624 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: like and that takes fifteen minutes. So yeah, like the 625 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: makeup that we're using, um, yeah, any kind of skin 626 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: product from the water that we use on our skin 627 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: when we bathe, all of that is going into our bloodstream. 628 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: All of that is going inside our skin and all 629 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: has an impact in some kind of way. That's why 630 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: if you bathe in hot shower, your skin is going 631 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: to be dry as fuck or dehydrated. So it's like 632 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: super important to bathe and lukewarm water, um as well 633 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: as like other things of like not you know, uh yeah, 634 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: washing your face and hot water the same way it's 635 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: washing your face with cold water. It it just takes 636 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: down inflammation and it takes down the redness and it 637 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: calms down the skin instead of like heating it up more. 638 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: When you heat things up more, you kind of aggravate 639 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: it and it doesn't have time to heal. So yeah, 640 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: and I love this conversation because this is just so 641 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: seamlessly transitioning into a conversation about body chemistry and the 642 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: natural ingredients and the Kimika has involved there. Um, you know, 643 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: this is our fem tech quarter, so we really like 644 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: to talk about traditionally feminine activities and expression that are 645 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: historically undervalued or overlooked and reclaiming them as technology and 646 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: as science. So I'm wondering, like, for you, how do 647 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: you see Bruhat, the skincare and the work that you 648 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: do falling into that sort of lineage of fem technology. 649 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: So definitely from the way that you're mixing the facial mask, 650 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: the measurements from coming from you know, spraying the hydrosul 651 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: within the powders and recognizing that chemistry, you're making that 652 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: into a pace. Um, the intention that goes into it, 653 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: whatever you're thinking, Um, hopefully it's positive affirmations of course. Um, 654 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: all of that is all going into this brain and 655 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: all into your aura, your physical aura, and it all 656 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: has an impact on you. And I feel like that's 657 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: that's where the science comes in. That's where you know, 658 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: revealing truths about yourself as well, and and you know, 659 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: being in that vulnerable state and like, you know, realizing 660 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: that all of this is a gift too, because when 661 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: when we realize the truth, sometimes it hurts, you know, 662 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: but we also grow from that, And so I think 663 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: the science of feelings is super important as well when 664 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: it comes to this. UM, I want to be very 665 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: forward and say that I don't measure things when I 666 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,439 Speaker 1: do make these products, because it all comes from within. 667 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: It's all intuitive. Um, I never measure anything out. I 668 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: just know what works because I have the experience. I've 669 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 1: worked with these powders for over ten years, so I 670 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: basically know my own concoctions. It's just that's what makes 671 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: it bruqita and and so realizing that as well, it's 672 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: it's almost like cooking really, Like if you see me 673 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: in the studio, like whoever comes by. Um, recently I 674 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 1: hired someone. Her name is Irish. She's amazing. Um, she 675 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 1: made my job a lot easier and she's just like 676 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: watching me and she's like, dude, you're not measuring anything. 677 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: Like I don't have to and she's like, how do 678 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: you know? And I just know, I just feel it. 679 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: I know when I make a bad batch, and I 680 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: know when I make a good batch. It's it's very 681 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: hard to come back from a bad batch pretty bad, 682 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: pretty much. And that's when I know, like I'm not 683 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,479 Speaker 1: feeling it, like or if I have a half day 684 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: of just like butchering ingredients and stuff that I'm just like, 685 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: I gotta take a break, Like I gotta take a 686 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 1: break for two days, and then I'll come back and 687 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: start mixing and start brewing again. And um so as 688 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: well as you know, getting ready, getting ready. Now that 689 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: I think about it helps me feel super good because 690 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: I'm never in a hurry either. I'm never in a 691 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: hurry that It's one of the things that I like 692 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: about self care is that you should never feel rushed 693 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: when you're doing that, especially when you're bathing in the 694 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: morning or at night. I really do feel like that 695 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: time should be for yourself, whether it be twenty minutes 696 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: to half an hour, like really like disengaged, turn off 697 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: your phone, like turn off all of this stuff, and 698 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: really like connect with yourself and talk with yourself. I 699 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people don't really do that. 700 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: I ask people if they talk to themselves, you know, 701 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: they say no, I never have a conversation with myself 702 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,359 Speaker 1: at all, and I think that's kind of weird. Like 703 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: talk to yourself, dude, Like ask yourself, how are you 704 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: feeling the day? And I talked to myself all the time. 705 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: I would looking at you because I know you do too, 706 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: to myself a lot. We talked to each other, I 707 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: mean ourselves all the time. Yeah, yeah, like check in it. 708 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: It's definitely a thing, you know, And I feel like 709 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: I grew up seeing my mom do that. Like my mom, 710 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: I like now, I like I can hear her. She'll 711 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: be in another room and I can hear her talking 712 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: to herself. So I definitely like inherited that trade, or 713 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: like I learned that trade. It's learned. My dad talk 714 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: to himself a lot. And I find myself when I'm 715 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: in the car, there's so many things we can be 716 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: listening to. Right. We can listen to the radio, we 717 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: can listen to podcasts. We can listen to Baichella on 718 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: Spotify for example. Right, But I find myself sometimes turning 719 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: it all off because I'm like, I just need to 720 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: turn pull up my windows and talk to myself. And 721 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: that's what I enjoy doing a lot in the car, 722 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: and it really is informative for whatever reason, and it's 723 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: like fun. I enjoy it. Yeah, most definitely. We listen 724 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 1: to music all day in the store studio, and by 725 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: we I see me and my partner, we sure studio together. Okay, 726 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: So whenever we're with each other a lot of the time, 727 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: So whenever we're taking breaks and we need to drive somewhere, 728 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: it's definitely no no radio on. It's definitely silence. And 729 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: that took like a little bit of her to get 730 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: used to, you know, because she's used to radio, or 731 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: she's used to like speaking or like just doing other things. 732 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: She's just used to noise. And so when I told her, hey, 733 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: have you realized, like I haven't been playing music, And 734 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: it's because I want to connect with you, you know, 735 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: like we're busy working all the time, and it's like, 736 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: let's break on us, like yeah, like what do we like? 737 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: Like we sort of asked each other the other She 738 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: was like, what are you gonna do this weekend? I'm like, 739 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, I have like one day off 740 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: and I don't even know what I like to do anymore. 741 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: That's so funny because recently someone asked us this question 742 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: and said, what do y'all do for fun? And we 743 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: both laughed and we were like, I don't know, yeah, yeah, seriously. Um, 744 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: one of like the difficult parts about you know, Brijita 745 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: being uh like so growing rapidly is that like I 746 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: kind of lost what I like a little bit because 747 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: I am busy producing and I'm busy, you know, tending 748 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: to the community and things like that, to where you know, 749 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: I forgot what kind of music I liked for a 750 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: little bit. I forgot, you know, like what type of 751 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 1: food do I actually like? Like where? You know, like 752 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: do I even like going to the movies anymore? Like 753 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: what do I like? You know? It's it's it's definitely 754 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: rewarding in that way because you like I said, it's 755 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: just the truths, you know, the truths that just come 756 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: out of like work on yourself with the reminders of 757 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 1: like working on yourself. Like yes, you're tending the community 758 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: and good job, you know, but what about you. Absolutely 759 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: that's so important because so many of our listeners, like 760 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: work in the nonprofit sector, are activists. Maybe they're in 761 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: um the private sector, but they have they have majority 762 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 1: of white coworkers, so they will ask us those questions 763 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: of how to take care of themselves. So what I 764 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: like that we've heard from you so far is like 765 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: self care should be intentional, and the time that you 766 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: spend alone should be intentional. Like often the only times 767 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: will get alone will be when you're in the shower, right, 768 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: especially if you live with your family, you live with 769 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 1: your partner, you work with a lot of people, you know, 770 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: so taking that time and really being mindful about what 771 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: you're doing and your positive thoughts. So I like like 772 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: hearing you say that, I think that's really awarding present 773 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: and the negative thoughts too. I mean, I definitely don't 774 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: want to like, uh, fall follow away from that either, 775 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: you know, because sometimes we don't feel good. But that's 776 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: also important to know, like you know, the truths of 777 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: like of recognizing that you don't feel good, But how 778 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: can I get myself out of this? How can I 779 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, work on that. I feel like that's super important, 780 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: and that's going back to like talking to yourself and 781 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: checking in absolutely. And so you you mentioned the growth 782 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: of bruita and how it's just blowing up and it's 783 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: just taking on a life of its own.

The antioxidants in 872 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: these flowers are no joke. Like you're getting full mineral 873 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: content too, you know, to build up the surface immunity. 874 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's super special. You know that we're 875 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 1: getting that from nature. It's like yeah, cool, no brainer. Yeah, 876 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: where else is it going to come from? Realistically? I 877 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: mean yes. Secondly, that's why I get scared about synthetic 878 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: products when I hear that my clients are using you know, 879 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: synthetic products from Lush or from you know, Clinique Gloriel, 880 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,399 Speaker 1: you know land Come, I can go on and it's like, dude, like, 881 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 1: try something that is wholesome, Try something that is simple, 882 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: like go back to your roots, like wherever your ancestors 883 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,320 Speaker 1: are from or wherever lend you could be from Europe, 884 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter they use milk over there, they 885 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: use oats over there. It's like you you can definitely 886 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 1: still like have that simple approach and not have that 887 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,800 Speaker 1: typical ancestry from latin X, from the latin X community. 888 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 1: You know, I like, I have not talked about this 889 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 1: on the podcast, but I maintained that my mom actually 890 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 1: fucked up my skin because I, um, I mean I'm 891 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: still now, like I'm definitely more acne prone, but no 892 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: one in my family is. But when I was little, 893 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: my mom would give me a clinique bar to wash 894 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 1: my face. And my mom had grown skin like she 895 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,320 Speaker 1: could use the clinique, but me as a kid, I 896 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: shouldn't have you been using like a clinique skin bar 897 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 1: and lotion like that doesn't make any sense. So I'm 898 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 1: like one of the only ones that has that is 899 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 1: acne prone in my family. Um, And I think like 900 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: that that's why, like when I think about it now, 901 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: because no one else was using that the kinds of 902 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: products right, And I mean still a lot of people 903 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,879 Speaker 1: don't recognize that, like things like fragrance or the parabins 904 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: or the soul fates um even glycols, it's those are 905 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: also dehydrating to the skin. So when your skin is 906 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 1: feeling dehydrated, what's it gonna do. It's gonna go in 907 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 1: defense mode. It's going to, you know, give you a 908 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 1: ton of oil that your skin just doesn't need, but 909 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: it thinks that it needs because it's dehydrated. And so 910 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: with that then becomes the pimples and the acne. Hormonal acne, 911 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 1: especially hormonal acne, is inedibable. It happens to everyone. It's 912 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 1: just the factor of learning how to embrace it now 913 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: and to take care of it in a simple way. 914 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 1: And that's what I like to share with people is like, 915 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: don't get aggravated. This is super normal, Like it happens. 916 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 1: You know who I've I've seen is a big advocate 917 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,240 Speaker 1: of that is Ethereal, and I think it's the media 918 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,320 Speaker 1: of these right, and she like, we'll talk about embracing 919 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: her oily skin. And I know that she uses your 920 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: products as well, so like I it's really cool to 921 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 1: see that online, like her talking about like I have 922 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: a oily skin and I tried to make it different 923 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,960 Speaker 1: but I can't. So this is me embracing it now. 924 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: And she's shiny like a glow ye and she's so great. 925 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 1: He is so awesome. I seriously just hit her up 926 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, like can we be home girls? 927 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 1: Like you look like someone who I like will chill with, 928 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: Like yeah, straight up like chill with in reality. And 929 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 1: she was like yeah, like what's up, blah blah. We 930 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: got to talking and just said, hey, like, let me 931 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,399 Speaker 1: give you some skincare and she was so super into it, 932 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,839 Speaker 1: like yes please, And um, I have her to thank 933 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 1: for like my growth in Bohita her in the hood, 934 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,320 Speaker 1: which most definitely. And those are two like my girls. 935 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 1: Like love them them from like a distance, like I 936 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: haven't met them in person, but I feel like I've 937 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: met like their spirit in some sort of way, you know, 938 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: because they trusted me, and that's like saying a lot 939 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,839 Speaker 1: when you trust someone, that means a lot. Most definitely, Yes, absolutely, 940 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 1: And I do love the comment that you made about 941 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 1: where you're from and the natural products from that region 942 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: from where you're from, because it goes back to like 943 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,880 Speaker 1: we are connected to the earth and if you have 944 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 1: roots in Latin America and in this side of the 945 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: hemisphere or whatever, like, it makes sense to incorporate those 946 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: natural ingredients back into your body. As opposed to some 947 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 1: strange like far away ingredients, yeah, or some man made 948 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,400 Speaker 1: ingredient that has no kind of benefit to your skin 949 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 1: at all. So like going back to those big brands 950 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 1: like Clinique and Lancome, they use these synthetic ingredients to mimic, 951 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,240 Speaker 1: to mimic the natural approach to mimic the natural simple 952 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: ways that these actual ingredients take. Because you know the 953 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: natural ingredients, It's like it's a mess, you know. I'll 954 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: admit that, like no one likes to mix their own stuff. 955 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,439 Speaker 1: Everyone wants a simple way to just have it mix 956 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: and to just put it on. But that's not a 957 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 1: Buduhito is about. Brida is really about reconnecting with Earth 958 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 1: and really establishing that that connection again, like really establishing 959 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 1: that relation and ship within you know, Earth and then 960 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: also within yourself as well. Absolutely, I love it. You know, 961 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 1: before we go, I wanted to ask a question for 962 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: our listeners so that they can have like even more 963 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 1: of a takeaway from all the knowledge that you dropped 964 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: right now. Like, what is like maybe is a skincare recommendation. 965 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 1: I know that it's like by type, but like a 966 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 1: skincare record, a general one that you can give. What 967 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,320 Speaker 1: is like a common skin mistake that people the skincare 968 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 1: mistake that people make that they shouldn't be doing. Picking 969 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 1: their skin. Stop. I do that because I just want 970 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 1: whatever it is I am. Then I inflame my skin 971 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 1: and it's worse and it's so cute because my partner 972 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: will be like, I broke out everywhere? Why am I 973 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 1: breaking out? And She'll literally point to every single one 974 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,439 Speaker 1: and touch them and I'm like, well, you're touching them. 975 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: Stop touching them where? Okay, So don't touch your face, 976 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 1: don't touch your face, don't pick at your skin, don't 977 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 1: pick up your skin ever. I'm so bad at that. 978 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: I touched my face a lot and I need to 979 00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:01,240 Speaker 1: do I. Washing your face properly is a big thing.
