But when you go to the website, 165 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: when you go to that and watch these bags, you're 166 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: gonna buy something. I'm gonna tell you, if you don't 167 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: want to buy something, don't go to the website because 168 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna pull you in like they pull your boy in. 169 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: And now I'm six deep with my sisters, here's. 170 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: One of the things that you have always been so 171 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: brilliant in and you've always taught me that you always 172 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: find the price point that thatches the people who follow you. 173 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: You know, I. 174 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 2: Love ten thousand dollars bags. I don't own a ten 175 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: thousand dollars bags. I think that, you know, I'd rather 176 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: have ten thousand dollars worth of stock, right right, right. 177 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 2: But you know, my thing is how many of my 178 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 2: fans and family as I call them, would really invest 179 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: because that's an investment in ten thousand dollars as opposed 180 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: to let's say, sixty nine to ninety nine. 181 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, I have to agree. And long as you're 182 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: going to stop people like people out that buying these knockoffs, 183 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: you're spending more on bad knockoffs than you would for 184 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: a quality YA bag. 185 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: There you go, There you go. And you've always taught 186 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: there's more security in numbers than just the you know, 187 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: the branding, and we know branding is awesome. We know that, yes, yes, 188 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: I would rather have I would rather sell ten thousand 189 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: Ya bags at their price than to sell two at 190 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars. 191 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: There you go, there you go.

Balance, you have to have balance in your life. 207 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: Our our largest organs, there's our skin, and it's usually 208 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: the part of us that we do not take care 209 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: of the most right, you know, and that's from the 210 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: top of your head to the soles of your feet, 211 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: as they say in the church. 212 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, you know, it's really about you know, we 213 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money when it's too late for 214 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: our skin, you know. And and one of the things 215 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: I want to talk about for some reason. Early on, 216 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: and when I was in high school, I you know, 217 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: I understood my face, so I understood you know, all 218 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: these skin understood, you know, poores and getting dirt out 219 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: of my poors, washing with cold water, washing with warm water. 220 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: Warm water opens your pores, cold water ice closes your pores. 221 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: And it starts with care, and it starts with spending time. 222 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: And again we come into a product bathroom, your bathroom 223 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: body collection where guess what the price point is very reasonable? 224 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: Talk about that. 225 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. As I got older, I realized 226 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: that my skin and my body were changing. You know me, 227 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: I am a health nut. I have always taken care 228 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: of myself nutritionally, spiritually, and physically. And I found that 229 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: the products that I was using they were costing a 230 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: lot of money, and I was not seeing the results 231 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 2: that I wanted. So I got with a friend of 232 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 2: ours and I said, you know what, I've been thinking 233 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: really hard about creating my own bath and bodyline. You know, 234 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: that was what we had the kindles at first, and 235 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 2: it was like, oh my gosh, if you do that, 236 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 2: I will be a part of your teens. And we 237 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: got with a scientist who was privy to some of 238 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: the really higher in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals and skin suticals 239 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: and all of those things that nurture the skin, and 240 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: I told them, hey, this is the thing that we 241 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 2: have to do. We have to cleanse the skin, but 242 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: we have to leave a seal of moisture in there 243 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: so people don't have to continually use the souf flay, 244 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: you know, over and over and over again during the day. 245 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 2: Because people don't have that kind of time. They get 246 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: in the shower, they get out of the shower moisturized, 247 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 2: they're headed to work or headed to wherever they're going 248 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: to life go. And so you know, I know all 249 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: these influencers are doing a lot of things right now. 250 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: I mean, but they're at home in front of cameras. 251 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: So there are real people, more than eight billion in 252 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: the world, that have a whole bunch to do that 253 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: really don't have that kind of time.
