I actually have 57 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: a picture and I'm probably gonna share this year on 58 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: social media of all the cousins together at Grandma's house 59 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: in our pj's. The house always smells like that lies 60 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: and Grandma was there with all my tas making the list, 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: showing them her little recipe. She never gave them the 62 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: full secret. She would just show them. You know, this 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: is I'll never forget one year, we were again at 64 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: Grandma's house and we were waiting. It was because we 65 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: opened our gifts on at midnight, so basically they like 66 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: in the morning, you know Mexicans we do that. We 67 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: were at Grandma's house, like I said, and they put 68 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: boxing gloves on all of us, my cousins and I, 69 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: and we were all they just made us fight each other. 70 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: And I'll never forget because they put me with my 71 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: cousin Karina. My cousin Karina is my theo Gus's daughter 72 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: and who I've always been really close to, and they 73 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: put us together and she kicked my ass. Let me 74 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: tell you, she's two years younger than me. But they 75 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: just made us like, you know, just it was all 76 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: play fighting. But some of us. I didn't get mad, 77 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: but some of my cousins did get upset and they 78 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: started like kind of fighting for real. But then they 79 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: calmed us down and they're like the winner got money. 80 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: So then they would give us like agancias, like piggy 81 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: banks that my grandparents throughout the entire year would fill 82 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: up with coins and quarters and just money that they 83 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: would get from the casino. They loved going to the casino, 84 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: so all year they would do that, and they had 85 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: a piggy bank for all the grandchildren and they I 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: would give it to us on Christmas and we would 87 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: break it with the hammer outside and you know, we 88 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: sometimes would come out with like, I don't know, hundreds 89 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: of dollars of just coins. It was so much fun. 90 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: I missed those days, to be honest, I missed those 91 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: types of Christmas is where we all literally got together. 92 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: But it's nice. It's nice to look back and have 93 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: those memories. And hopefully one day I can do that 94 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: with my nieces and nephews with my own children. But 95 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: for us, it was just important to eat, chilling our pajamas, 96 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: watch movies together, and just enjoy, you know, enjoy each 97 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: other's presence. My mom one year, she was always really busy, 98 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, with work or whatnot, and I would always 99 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: do like the Christmas shopping for her. She would give 100 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: me a list and kind of an idea of what 101 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: she wanted to get each of us, and I'd go shopping. 102 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: But there was this one year, I think it was 103 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: like two two and nine where she went shopping by herself. 104 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: She says, I want to do it myself. I'm going 105 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: to go and I said, okay, cool, and she says, 106 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap them too, I'm gonna wrap them this year. 107 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, awesome. And I guess what she did. 108 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: She went shopping, which I thought was really cute. She 109 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: got all of us things that you know, reminded her 110 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: of us, which it was really nice and um, but 111 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: she didn't have time to wrap anything. So she put 112 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: all of our gifts in one big gass box and 113 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: she didn't even wrapped the box. She just put it 114 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: under the tree. And she's like, okay, put our names 115 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: on them. So we each had a big box and 116 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: in them were just things that she went to the 117 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: mall and bought for each of us. I'll never forget 118 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: because it was just so sweet because I knew how 119 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: busy she was, especially that year, traveling and everything. Um, 120 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: that was one very very special Christmas. Yeah, and I 121 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: have a few of those. Um. Even when before, even 122 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: before Jennie rivera was Jenny River and we were living 123 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: in Compton, you guys, we didn't have money for Christmas. 124 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: And she bought a little tree that sat on top 125 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: of a speaker and she decorated it and that's all 126 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: we could afford and literally I had one gift under 127 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: the tree. But it was just so nice to know 128 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: that she went out of her way and to get 129 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: us that one gift. It was always mom trying to 130 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: make everything so special, not even just on Christmas, but 131 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: also on Valentine's Day. On my mom would even make 132 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: us baskets for Easter. It was just so cute. She 133 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: would go to store and pack it up, but it 134 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: was just like a big, old like basket full of 135 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: stuff for us.

But I was just like looking around 172 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: all my cousins, I'm like, oh my god, they got 173 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: cool gifts. I just got socks. But now I'm grateful, 174 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: So I think it's kind of funny how things change. No, 175 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: those are just a few of my memories, but those 176 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: are the ones that are the highlights I think now 177 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: for me. Holidays, especially Christmas, I think it's important for 178 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: my siblings and I to be together, whether it be 179 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: at my house or my sister's house. And I think 180 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: it's also important to have a Christmas tree if it 181 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: could be real. I prefer a natural tree because of 182 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: the smell, and it just smells like Christmas when you 183 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: walk in. Um. I have been busy, especially this year 184 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: with the move and everything, and last year was kind 185 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: of crazy, but I always find the time to get 186 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: a Christmas tree, gets someone to decorate the house for me. 187 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: I just love to have the feeling of Christmas, even 188 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: like having the kisses. You know that they have like 189 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: always these holiday kisses that only come out during December, 190 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: the hershey kisses, And I love having those at home. 191 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: There are peppermint ones which are so bomb you guys, 192 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: if you haven't tried them, you need to. They're like 193 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: my favorite. And having just candles that smell like vanilla 194 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: and cinnamon and just all these Christmas candles all that 195 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: is so important to me because it just feels like 196 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: a big hug when you walk into your house and 197 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: it smells like pine and it smells like Christmas and cookies, 198 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: and it's just for me that is important. That's something 199 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: that my mom always had no matter what, no matter 200 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: how busy she was, it whether we had money or not, 201 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: it was like, we have to have a Christmas tree, 202 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: we have to have candies. She was all about, even 203 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: though she didn't eat them. She was like, have candies 204 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: at the house, have candles. I want fresh flowers. Um. 205 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: So those are things that for me are now as 206 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: an adult, are important. You guys know that, Yes, holidays 207 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: are about food. What's well, at least for me, about 208 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: food and drinks. And I have to say that for Christmas, 209 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: I do like maybe breakfast cooking, but I've always left 210 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: that to like my grandma. Um, this year, I'm gonna 211 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: have to cook because we're going away but for Thanksgiving. 212 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: I love to cook. For Thanksgiving, I love to make 213 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: the turkey. I either fry it or bake it. I'm 214 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: really good at the like mac and cheese and the 215 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: mashed potatoes, all that good stuff I love to cup. 216 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: But for Christmas, I feel like I just want to 217 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: chill and eat everyone else's food. Jackie Yam, I love. 218 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss them this year, you guys, I have 219 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: to learn how to make them lists. I feel like 220 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: they're like easy to make, but you have to have 221 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: like a certain recipe for them to come out nice 222 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: and juicy, you know. So I have to ask my 223 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: grandma for that recipe. But so we're gonna have to 224 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: figure it out. I don't know what I'm gonna make, 225 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: but for sure, some tequila with some hot chocolate. I 226 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have ever tried that, but 227 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: I like to make and then I put a little 228 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: tequila and you just chill and you put some marshmallows 229 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: in it and his bomb.

And I did the Christmas shopping 238 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: myself this year, so I'm super excited about that. And um, yeah, 239 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be our first Christmas together. Guys. I'm excited, 240 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: but I'm nervous at the same time because I like 241 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: to look busted during the holidays. You guys, this is 242 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: when I'm off. I don't want to have my extensions in. 243 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to have any makeup on. I want 244 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: to be in my pj's. I want to be as 245 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: full on guys I possibly can. So if you can 246 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: get through it with me, then that means he's a keeper. 247 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: So Emilia, you better be listening. Okay, if his friends, 248 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: anyone or listen is listening to this podcast, go tell 249 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: Emilio he better be all right with me looking not 250 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: cute this Christmas because some people I don't know. I've 251 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: seen other families that get all dressed up, and I 252 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: think it's nice with their like nylons and they're two 253 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: dresses and they're two high hills, and I think that's 254 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: really nice. You know, my family has never been like that, 255 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: so I'm not used to that, And I don't know, 256 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: maybe that's something that I want to do with like 257 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: my family when I have kids, or it's like, hey, 258 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: everyone dressed up, we're gonna take a Christmas picture. But 259 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: it's always been like bsful the only guys you possibly can. 260 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: So maybe that's something that I gotta change up. In 261 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years, we'll see, but for now. Uh. 262 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: And now that we're talking about all this, I'm thinking, 263 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: what are we really going to do when we're out 264 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: in the mountains. Because usually the times that we've gone 265 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: to like Big Bear or wherever there's snow, we always 266 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: go after Christmas. This is the first time ever that 267 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: we're going to be there during Christmas, so I'm thinking. 268 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: I talked to my sister about it. She's like, you 269 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: know what, what if we just take like free holes 270 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: and we take some rice and we cook it out there, 271 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: or we just go to the grocery store when we 272 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: get there, like the local grocery store, and just buy 273 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: everything we want. You know, I don't know. I really 274 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: don't even want to care about the calories. I want 275 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: to eat as many cars as I possibly can, because 276 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: it's just like my last chance to just say okay, 277 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: and then January comes along and then I really have 278 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: to get on a strict diet, you guys. But I 279 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: want to have oreoles, nutter butters. Oh, the oreoles, and 280 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: the milk so delicious when you like just let them 281 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: just soak in the milk and you get the spoon. 282 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: It's just so good. So I'm looking forward to that. 283 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: I want sandwiches with Doritos on the side and a hallepeeno. 284 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: I want to eat all of it, all of it. 285 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: Someone may probably like, the kids love Tody soak on well, 286 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: so we're gonna do them and make some beans, and 287 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: media loves when I make them beans with cheese. I 288 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: make some bomb mask beans, you guys, refried beans, Um, 289 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: I gotta make that. And then my sister, she's really 290 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: good at making choco flans. I'm gonna request that. So 291 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm already thinking about it. I'm gonna write all this down. 292 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna listen to the to the podcast on 293 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: my way there to the snow so I remember exactly 294 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: everything I want to eat. So, as I promised, I'm 295 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: going to share some gift giving tips with you. Guys. 296 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: Can you believe that we're less than one week away 297 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: from Christmas? I cannot believe it. This year went by 298 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: so quick. So if you're still undecided, time is running out. 299 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: And I'm real proud of myself this year because I 300 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: did all of my Christmas shopping already and that never happens. 301 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: So you guys, get on it. So when shopping for 302 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: your significant others, I think it is important to keep 303 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: in mind obviously what they like and they don't like. 304 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: If they're into sports, what are they a foodie? Are 305 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: they tech savvy? Fashion? Because there's some you know men 306 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: in my case, guys and my significant others, a man 307 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: that is not into fashion, you know what I mean. 308 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: He's more of like it's really hard to shop for 309 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: close for him, so I don't even go there. I 310 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: know he likes shoes, I know he likes hats, I 311 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: know his hat size. Um, he's not really a sports guy, 312 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: so it's important if he likes sports, all that stuff, 313 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: you have to write all that down for me. I 314 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: need to make a list, priority lists, and then the 315 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: second I always have that like, Okay, this will probably 316 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: I could do this on Amazon dot com. I don't know, 317 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: so I always go I cannot go shopping without a list, 318 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: So it's super important to just think about those things 319 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: the primary things. Another thing that I think is super 320 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: cute for your significant other is a perfumer a cologne, 321 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, because it's something that for me, it's like, 322 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I want my man to smell good. So if I 323 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: like the cologne, he better like it because well I'm 324 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna be smelling it, right. So I like to also 325 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: do baskets with their favorite foods, with a cute little cologne, 326 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: some gift cards or favorite stores I don't know, Home 327 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: Depot or best Buy, I don't know, and putting a 328 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: little basket together I think is something easier for me, 329 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: I think, than to do individual gifts. But I mean 330 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: it was pretty easy to shop for. To be honest, 331 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: for the men that are listening, I have some tips 332 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: for you, as a woman and as a woman that 333 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: loves to be surprised. I think it's important for you 334 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: not to overthink it when you are buying a gift 335 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: for your girl. Don't go over there buying her pots 336 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: and pants if she doesn't ask for them, okay, because 337 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: she doesn't feel like, oh, you're buying them for me 338 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: so I can cook for you. It's kind of like, no, 339 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: make sure, I don't know, like even as easy as 340 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: getting her a gift certificate for a manicure and pettic here, 341 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: we all need a petticure, a massage. I don't know 342 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: whoever she gets her hair done with, get her a 343 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: certificate like here, I'll buy you know you, I don't know, 344 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: one time to go get your hair down or three 345 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: months or whatever. Things like that go such a long way, 346 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: and I think it's important that you know, like, Okay, 347 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: what's gonna make her happy? Think about her. For me, 348 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: it's I'm so like easy to please in that area 349 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: where I'm like, okay, just buy me things that I need, 350 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: like my socks, like candles, like white bees. Even baby wipes, 351 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: you guys, are so important because I use them every 352 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: single day. So it's like if someone were to give 353 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: me a box of baby wipes, I'd be so happy 354 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: because those are expensive. So men, when you're shopping for 355 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: your girl, just think about what will make her happy. 356 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: We will make her smile. Think about like I don't know, 357 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: even like her favorite place to go eat. I think 358 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: those types of things go a long way for us women. Yes, 359 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: persones are nice. Yes, diamonds are nice. I'm not saying no. 360 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: But even if you can't necessarily afford that this year, 361 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: it's just the littlest things that make a smile, even like, oh, 362 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: he he remembered my favorite type of chips, you know 363 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: what I mean. Like to me, it's like, oh my god, 364 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: it's so cute. He knows I like hot cheetos. He 365 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: bought some hot cheetos. You know, you don't have to 366 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: like go all lavish to make her happy, at least 367 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: not a lot of the women that I know. I think. 368 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: It's just it's the thought that counts, and for you 369 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: to go out there and get it yourself for her, 370 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: you know. With that being said, Even a gas card. 371 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: You guys, we all need gas every single day of 372 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: our life. It's that simple. I just think those little 373 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: things I'm telling you go a long way. So gifts 374 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: for him, ladies that are listening again, if he's into sports, 375 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: it's important that you get him a jersey, a cup. 376 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: There's all kinds of stuff that I've seen sports stuff. 377 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: If he's not into sports, is he techi? Does he 378 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: like um, I don't know, get him a new pair 379 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: of air pods if you can. If not, another thing 380 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: they like home deepot, if they like, oh these guy stores, 381 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: even if they're like games I love. Honestly, I really 382 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: like gift cards, and I know a lot of men do, 383 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: like my brothers. When I give them stuf, they're like, 384 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, just give me some cash. And 385 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: sometimes I feel like cash is a little like, I 386 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: don't know, like unthoughtful, I guess. But gift cards, I 387 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: think it's kind of like, oh, they know what I 388 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: what I'm into, you know. So I think it's important 389 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: to know your man. And again, a lot of them 390 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: need underwear, new briefs. Give them some briefs. They need them, 391 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: and you're gonna, you know, see them, so you might 392 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: as well get something you like. My brothers always appreciate 393 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 1: socks again Cologn's, but it is important to know your 394 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: significant other and not just get something that you think 395 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: they're like. It's really pay attention to what they really love. 396 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: And that goes I'm telling you a long way now 397 00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: talking about people that quote unquote may have everything. I've 398 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: gotten that quite a bit. And I used to think 399 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: that about my mom or I'm like, oh my gosh, 400 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: you can buy herself anything. What can I possibly get her? 401 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: But I think sometimes we're thinking of something super expensive 402 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: because you feel that people that have money want branding things, 403 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: and that's not necessarily true. Um My mom was that 404 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: type of woman that was just like she was happy 405 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: with the smallest things, with a devotional for instance, a book. 406 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: She loved that. She loved candles. She wasn't into flowers 407 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: really too much, like when you gifted her flowers. She's 408 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: just like buying flowers for her home. But like when 409 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: you gave her flowers, she was kind of like, you know, 410 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: but it's just it's not even about branding things. It's 411 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: more of the little things that count. Like I would 412 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: always give her a get certificate to go get a massage, 413 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: you know, and she loved that because anyone that's busy, anyone, 414 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter if you're busy or not busy 415 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: or whatever. Everyone and anyone appreciates a nice massage, a 416 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: day at the spall think about things like that, dinners, 417 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: a concert ticket, um music. Everyone likes music, you know, 418 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: what I mean, like think of like outside the box. 419 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't necessarily have to be expensive to make someone smile. Now, 420 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: if you're on a budget, which I completely understand, especially 421 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: after the tough year years, should I say that we've 422 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: had um I think the pandemic came and really put 423 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: a lot of things into perspective and made a lot 424 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: of things difficult. So if you're on a budget, we 425 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: all know this, but we really need to believe it 426 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: that Christmas and the holidays are to spend time with 427 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: your loved ones, to show your love, not with just 428 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: giving gifts, but just giving someone your time, your quality time, 429 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: even a card expressing your feelings and your thoughts about 430 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: that person, about how grateful you are for them. That 431 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: is something someone can keep forever and it's priceless. My 432 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: sister one year, I was having difficulties um financially, and 433 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: she went to Michael and got some sped out some 434 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: ornaments and she filled them up with cute little I 435 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: think it was like comfetti and stuff, and she made 436 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: each of us a special ornament. Yes, it was already 437 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: Christmas and everything, but we had it for next year 438 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: and I thought it was super cute. She says, I'm 439 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: sorry you guys. I don't have a lot of money 440 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: this year, but I thought it was so thoughtful to 441 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: make something handmade and it was so beautiful and it 442 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: meant so much to me because it was a picture 443 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: of me and my mom and Mikey with his dogs, 444 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: so it was just and Or and Luna, so it 445 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: was just really nice.
