1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm Fosta and I'm Mala. It's the holidays.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: It's the holidays. And if you're anything like me, like

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: I've never been good at giving gifts. The holidays bring

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: me a lot of stress, a lot of anxiety. I

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: like often feel like I'm not doing it right because

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: I procrastinate. I get all caught up in the intellectualism

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: of like, oh my god, like what's the true meaning

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 2: of Christmas? Capitalism is taking over. It's sucking all of

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: the like the love out of the holiday. I'm very

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: much like a Cindi lu who I'm like questioning everything

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: and then it like causes me to like not buy

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: any gifts until the last minute. So if you're like me,

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: this episode is for you. This is what we're calling

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: the twelve Days of Loka Tora, and we are giving

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: you our listeners the gift of gifting yourself this holiday season.

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: There are definitely times where I have been Christmas shopping

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: and I think, oh, I really want that for myself,

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: and end up just buying it for me. And then

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: if I think it's a really good gift for a

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: friend or a family member, then well then I just

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: buy two because I also want it.

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: I love that. That's a great idea.

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: And I feel like that is like only child syndrome,

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: like playing out because it's like, well, I want it.

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: Even though I'm not an only child, I very much

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: feel like an only child lots of the times, and

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: I think Christmas is definitely brings that out in me, like,

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: well I want it to.

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: It's a little double dipping. Yes it's a hall and

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: it's like you're already there. The gift is in front

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: of you, like why not two for one?

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: Exactly?

33
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: I love that.

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: So let's talk about twelve days of lokat to Dora and

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: the gifts that we think our listeners can give themselves.

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: These are the twelve days of lok at Dora. These

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: are the gifts we want you to give yourself on

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: each of the twelve days of Christmas this year. So

39
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: on the first day, a whole day free of doom scrolling.

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: What a treat?

41
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: What a dream?

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: That really is the break I think we all need.

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: It is, and I think maybe the treat that we

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: don't give ourselves enough.

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: I have used scrolling as my break time. Oh I

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: have twenty minutes of a break. I'm gonna check TikTok

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: or Instagram. I'm gonna check socials and then that twenty

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: minutes becomes an hour, and well, actually I'm not rested.

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm actually more riled up and my nervous system is shot. Yeah,

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: so that was actually not the break that I needed.

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: Quite the opposite. It's not a break. It's disguised as

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: as a break or fun or interesting because there is

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting and important tent out there in

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the world. So I don't think you should shy away

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: from consuming it. But I think in moderation and good practice.

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: So I think on the first day of a look,

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: I thought at Christmas, a day free of doom scrolling

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: is the best gift you can give yourself.

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: I completely agree. Go for a walk, color in a

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: coloring book, do some gardening, but put the phone down.

61
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Put the phone down.

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: And to be clear, I'm going to try and do

63
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: these things for myself. These are also my twelve days

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: of look at thought on my twelve days of Christmas,

65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: and which is why we're bringing them to you here

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: and now, because these are things that I think we

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: could all use a little bit of.

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: Now on the second day of Christmas, we want to

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: invite you to go to the spa with your bestie,

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: have a little spa date.

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, with your bestiet, with your sister, with your mom,

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: whoever you think you want to enjoy a relaxing SPA

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: day with me personally, I would like some we Spa

74
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: passes and I want to take my mom. And if

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: you've never been to we Spa because you're not in La,

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: I highly recommend you can go and be there for

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: like twenty four hours. They have heated floors. It's a

78
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: fabulous experience.

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: I took my mom to a Korean spa for her

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: birthday a couple of years ago. And if you've never

81
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: been to a Korean spa, this one in particular was

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: all women, and you're nude the entire time. Yes, and

83
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: it's a very lovely experience. But as you can imagine,

84
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: for a senora in her sixties at that time, she

85
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: was like, well, can I keep my undergarments on? And

86
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: I was like, no, you can't. They will ask you

87
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: to remove them, and so you know, I gave her

88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: the option to opt out. But she actually had a great,

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: great time. And I think having for my mom in

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: particular being around women of different ages and body sizes

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: and body types. Like I think that was actually a

92
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: really good practice for her.

93
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a very unique experience the Korean Spa,

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: and it's this very free, freeing opportunity for like public

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: nudity in a private space. Yes, and nobody is looking

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: at anybody because everyone is naked, and it's every body

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: type and different ages, and everyone's just there to like

98
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: get their treatment and to get get in the sauna

99
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: and get their scrubs and their rubs and like take

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: a nap on the floor and it's fabulous. So yeah,

132
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: been learning the last couple of years. Not necessarily a

133
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: craft cocktail, but I try to dabble like a martini.

134
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: My mom is very into the cosmos right now, so

135
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,200

136
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: her little treat, and I've been indulging with her a little.

137
00:06:54,279 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: Bit that is so sophisticated in cosmopolitan of her it is.

138
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: I love it.

139
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Have you ever been a family that will like go

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: out to a bar on Christmas Day, like after the

141
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: festivities are over.

142
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: No, we are not that kind of family. I'm my

143
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: cousins and I have been trying to do well. My

144
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: one body, mine in particular, has been trying to do

145
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: a bar crawl on Christmas Eve, and the scheduling just

146
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: never works out. As you know Latino families, Yes, Christmas

147
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: is it's our time to shine, yea damalis and whatever

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: food you partake in. Like it's a busy season, it's

149
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: a busy two days. So it's never worked out for us,

150
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: But that is something I would love to do one day,

151
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: a little bar crawl, a little cocktail hour at one

152
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: of the local bars or something.

153
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's never been a thing in my family either.

154
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: But as all the cousins basically now are adults and

155
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: our parents are all much older, it seems like there

156
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: might be an opportunity on Christmas Day to like go

157
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: meet up at a little cute little bar and grab

158
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: a drink.

159
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

160
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: But listeners, get yourself a cute some four yummy cocktails

161
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: on the fourth.

162
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Day of Christmas or a mocktail and.

163
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: On the fifth day of Christmas. We would love for

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: you to give to yourselves a five course dinner.

165
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: Love that.

166
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: And you can do a five course dinner at home.

167
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: This doesn't have to be like a Michelin Star restaurant experience.

168
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: You can luxuriate and give yourself like a beautiful, elaborate

169
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: dinner in your own kitchen. And I have been really

170
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: into doing this recently by like, instead of putting every

171
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: side on one dinner plate, you treat the sides as courses.

172
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: So you start with your salad and then you use

173
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: your little plates, right for like, okay, you've served your

174
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 2: you made yourself like a mac and cheese or like

175
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: a baked potato or whatever.

176
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: Bring them in as courses.

177
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: I love that.

178
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: Why not?

179
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Butanan though, is all about the courses. When he cooks,

180
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: we have a four course meal, not exactly on the

181
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: rag on the on the rag. Yeah, it'll be a

182
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: little sopita. And I'm like, can you like portion it

183
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: out a little smaller because these are like large portion

184
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: five course meals from course meals. It's like a start

185
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: with a little sopita, a salad, the main and there's

186
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: always like, of course, a piece of meat, you know,

187
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Like the entree is there's something like garne, some type

188
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: of garne, and then a little postso at the end.

189
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: It's so cute, yeah, and very doable.

190
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: And it's like this is this is it's giving poujol,

191
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: it's giving you know, any like restaurant that takes six

192
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: months in advance to get a reservation. This is how

193
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: they serve the food. It's just smaller portions and you're

194
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: bringing them out separately like their courses. We've cracked the code.

195
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: You can do it at hot you can do.

196
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: It at home. It's it is a really lovely dining

197
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: experience when you have the time to do that with

198
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: your family and then you have your little sobre mess

199
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: after with your cafecito or some wine, and it can

200
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: really turn like an average sun dinner into a real

201
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Sunday experience.

202
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's become something special and elaborate and high end.

203
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just in the comfort of your home.

204
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: So give that a try.

205
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: And if you want to impress your suegra this is

206
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: I think this is a hack. This is a hack.

207
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna cook. Anyways, let's make it a five course experience.

208
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: On the sixth day of Christmas, we invite you to

209
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: give to yourself a six step skincare routine.

210
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: Do it.

211
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: What does that consist of?

212
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: Well, I was going to ask you, because you have

213
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: an elaborate skincare routine. I'm very like I might do

214
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: an Aztec clay mask once a week. I'm doing my

215
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: like Sarah V face wash, and then the Sara V moisturizer,

216
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: and then i might do like a serum and then

217
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to bed.

218
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, mine is a little bit of that too.

219
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: So let's see, let's see how many steps this is.

220
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: So step one I oil cleanse, Step two cleanse, Step

221
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: three a toner, yes, powder it on your skin, and

222
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: then step four is my serum. Step five is a moisturizer,

223
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: and step six actually I use like a thicker moisturizer

224
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: to lock it all in, especially right now during this

225
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: season where it's a little it's colder, your skin is drier,

226
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: maybe you need that extra moisture. Your skin is maturing,

227
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: and you also start to see changes in your skin,

228
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: like if, for example, if you've always been an oily girl.

229
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you're more on the dry side, maybe you're more combo.

230
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: And so that actually is my six step skincare routine.

231
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: You heard it here first. If you've been wondering what

232
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: does she do? What does Yosa do for that radiant skin?

233
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: That's it. So go get you a six step skincare routine.

234
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: And eight hours of sleep. That helps.

235
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: On the seventh day of look, I thought, our Christmas,

236
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: we want you to gift yourselves. And this is something

237
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: that I like to give myself every year is seven

238
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: new pairs of chony's, one for every day of the week.

239
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: There is nothing like stepping into the new year with

240
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: a fresh set of undies.

241
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Give yourself permission to throw out your old chonies, do

242
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, because I think sometimes it's like, well, I'm

243
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: only seeing it. Maybe it's old, maybe it's a little dingy.

244
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to be wasteful. But if it's your undergarment,

245
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: I think it's okay. Once there's a hole in it,

246
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: once there's a little bit of a tear, like it's

247
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: time for some newness.

248
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: Exactly, like get some fresh elastic. Really feel like you're

249
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: being held in and cuddled by your undies. For me,

250
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: I feel like this is something you do very specifically

251
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: for yourself. And then on the eighth day of Christmas,

252
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: this is related but different.

253
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: Give yourself fresh gonsippinas eight pears.

254
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: Why not?

255
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Also, I mean, I don't know about y'all, but me, pio, Oh.

256
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, where do they go? They disappear?

257
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Why is there only one? When like two when in

258
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the washer? Right?

259
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

260
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: So yes, throw out the mixmatched pairs. Throw out the

261
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: one that you think you're gonna find eventually you're not.

262
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: Just get get the new socks.

263
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: Get the new socks.

264
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: And here's the thing. Is like, once you have one

265
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: mismatched pair and you think to yourself, oh, well, I'll

266
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 2: just wear this this pair that aren't matching because I

267
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: can't find their partners. And one mismatched pair today becomes

268
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: two mismatch pairs tomorrow, and then it's snowballs and now

269
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: none of your socks match.

270
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: It's a disaster. It's chaos.

271
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 2: And then you're like, oh my god, I hope I

272
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: don't go to someone's house who like is asking me

273
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: to take off my shoes or I'm not going somewhere

274
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: that requires me to take off my shoes because I'm

275
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: going to have mismatched socks.

276
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: It's a mess, that is what I was going to say.

277
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: The day that I wear mismatched sock is the day

278
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: that I have to take off my shoes somewhere, of course,

279
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my God, give it a win set.

280
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: And my mom is always I can just hear my

281
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: mom's voice.

282
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: Of course, there's just something about it that reads like unprepared, juvenile,

283
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 2: don't have your life together, haven't done laundry. Like the

284
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: number of conclusions people can jump to just based on

285
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: your socks alone, it's so much. It's a lot of

286
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: pressure for something that's so personal.

287
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Right right, So get the fresh pair.

288
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 3: Get the fresh pair. Your future self is gonna thank you.

289
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: And on the ninth day of Christmas, we invite you

290

Speaker 2: sheets and then making your bed in the morning and

Speaker 2: all up there there. Not all of them are necessarily evergreen,

313
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: because some of them we talked about current events at

00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: the time and things that were happening in the moment

315
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: over the past almost ten years now. But I think

316
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: that there's just a lot of fun stuff, a lot

317
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: of great stories. There is a lot of evergreen content.

318
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: So just you know, if you haven't done so, do

319
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: some create digging and look at Lota archives and see

320
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: which there's.

321
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Two hundred plus episodes for you to choose from.

322
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna find something, something that you like, something that

323
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: speaks to you.

324
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: And on the eleventh day of look at we invite

325
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: you to make eleven wishes.

326
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: Do it.

327
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: Pay attention to eleven eleven, pay attention to any signs,

328
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: full moons, new moons, any any chance you get to release,

329
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: and also bring in some new energy. I think is

330
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: a good way to round out the year.

331
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: We're very into magical thinking. We encourage it.

332
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: I always do an eleven eleven wish because why not,

333
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: it doesn't hurt. Every little every extra bump gets us

334
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: closer to where we.

335
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: Want to be. I think.

336

342
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: I've never done this, This is not a family tradition,

343
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: but I know every year I'm on Instagram watching.

344
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 3: People like eating their twelve grapes.

345
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: Yes eight, I don't know. I can only speak for

346
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: what I know right, which is that we do it

347
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: in my Prouviing family, and I think other South American

348
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: countries do it as well. I don't know all of them.

349
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this is a tradition in Central America,

350
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: but it is in Peru and other countries. So that

351
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: is something that we do. Prep the grapes the day

352
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: before the day of and it's fun when you have

353
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: people over for New Years and you get to experience

354
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: that with them for the first time, or if they

355
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: didn't grow up doing it, and you just set your

356
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: little grapes aside. I always like, will count them ahead

357
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: and just have them ready for everyone. So at midnight

358
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,480

00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,360

361
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: own thing. That's not something we do.

00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: It's another way to manifest something, yeah, you know, and

380
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: to speak it into existence mentally, because it's still a wish.

381
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: This episode is dedicated to all of our listeners, all

382
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: of the women who are taking care of everyone else

383
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: that sometimes they forget to take care of themselves.

384
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: This episode is for the working mothers, for the essential workers,

385
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: the healthcare workers, anybody who's working on Christmas, who's working

386
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,959

387
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,679

390

Speaker 2: take energy, they take effort. It's hard work sometimes the holidays,

391
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,080

392
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,320

393
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: wrapping up their work or their school, but they're also

394
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: trying to make the holidays special for everyone in the family,

395
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: for the kids, for the elders. They're decorating, they're cooking,

396
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: they're fulfilling like you know, gift wish lists.

397
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 3: So this episode is for y'all.
