Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast, Flexi. As we all know,
Speaker 1: I am writing a book.
Speaker 2: You're writing a book.
Speaker 3: The book the title is TBC. It was announced as
Speaker 3: perfect Candidate. We have gone back and had a little
Speaker 3: think about that one, as per you do when you're
Speaker 3: in the early stages of writing a book. But the
Speaker 3: announcement needed to be announced, and I'm very excited because
Speaker 3: there was fanfare. So the book is about beauty in
Speaker 3: kind of a broad sense, and naturally I need to
Speaker 3: talk about nostalgia, given I allegedly really care about that stuff.
Speaker 3: According to you, Flexi, I can't get my brain out
Speaker 3: of two thousand and four, and honestly, there is some.
Speaker 1: Truth to the fact.
Speaker 3: Despite how much I try and become a modern woman,
Speaker 3: I am still eight years old. I needed to ask everybody,
Speaker 3: what are some tips that you learn when you were
Speaker 3: a kid that you still use. So the thing that
Speaker 3: I remembered most was I reckon. It was two thousand
Speaker 3: and five and I read that a celebrity puts her
Speaker 3: face cream on in upward sweeping motion because allegedly that's
Speaker 3: like how she doesn't have wrinkles.
Speaker 1: Oh, I believed it.
Speaker 3: Suddenly I'm freaking out at eight years old or how
Speaker 3: her old. I was being like, oh my god, like
Speaker 3: I didn't moisturize because the kids even put moisturizer on.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you mickey not till like I reckon like fourteen? Yeah, legit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I was ahead of the curb. No one
Speaker 1: neflex looks like a baby. We really fludged it up.
Speaker 3: Same thinking, oh my god all the times, like Mum
Speaker 3: puts sounds crewen on my face. She was just dragging
Speaker 3: it around like who caress? She said, you are now
Speaker 3: I'm haggard twenty eight going on forty five. Tell me
Speaker 3: why When I was eighteen everyone thought I was thirty
Speaker 3: the club despite having braces.
Speaker 1: They said that papery, thin skin.
Speaker 3: Nothing's going on, siss all right, So I want to
Speaker 3: know what you to learn when your kid you still
Speaker 3: do They could be real, but like most of these
Speaker 3: are fake. Here's some suggestions. Lemon water, A lot of
Speaker 3: you girls still doing that. That's a contentious one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not the kid dentist.
Speaker 2: I say, it's really bad for your tea.
Speaker 1: It rose at your enamel, so real, especially when it's warm. Guys.
Speaker 2: That makes it worse, worse when it's warm.
Speaker 1: But don't worry. I'll go into it in my book
Speaker 1: which is later to come.
Speaker 2: Out this research. So if you feel attacked, just so
Speaker 2: that there's research coming to back this.
Speaker 1: Hopefully I haven't found it out yet. I am talking
Speaker 1: to experts.
Speaker 3: Someone said, I still have spoons in the frazer to
Speaker 3: get rid of puffy eyes. I did this for zero
Speaker 3: reason when I was ten. Wow, I can kind of
Speaker 3: see the vision there. Don't use your pointer finger to
Speaker 3: put on cream because it's skin. Skin is too sensitive
Speaker 3: and that finger is too rough.
Speaker 2: Oh you use your ring finger?
Speaker 1: Yeah you've heard of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard it for people who apply makeup with
Speaker 2: their fingers are not brushes. That if you're going to
Speaker 2: do that, you should be using a ring finger and
Speaker 2: do tapping motions. But I mean we're here now.
Speaker 1: Also, I cream like it's not real. Yeah yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: I think I actually because I still a beauty podcast.
Speaker 1: The experts were saying it's real, it's real. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the experts selling your product.
Speaker 3: Mickey, are you talking to certified ptologist?
Speaker 1: So he Foster Blake thinks it's real? Tell me why
Speaker 1: when I went to a dermatologist. You know the only
Speaker 1: product you recommended.
Speaker 2: Anza said of Field, Babe.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, my dorm do you? Okay?
Speaker 3: Well I'm going back next month because my psoriasis. Okay,
Speaker 3: so I'll get the tea from you again. What brand
Speaker 3: are we doing these days?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 1: Rinse your hair with cold water so the follicle closest.
Speaker 1: I gotta google that one.
Speaker 2: That one's true. It works the same for face as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also people saying that crossing your legs will give you
Speaker 3: varicose veins. That one was held over me quite tightly
Speaker 3: as a child.
Speaker 2: When you say people said, was it like media you
Speaker 2: were consuming, or like the women in your life affirming
Speaker 2: this to you?
Speaker 3: I think it's from a whole bunch of different angles
Speaker 3: that I couldn't pinpoint where. Like I couldn't pinpoint where
Speaker 3: that like moisturizer. One was from push ups to make
Speaker 3: your boobs perky. I think that's real.
Speaker 2: If one can hold their boobs up to make them
Speaker 2: less saggy, why could I not hold my skin up?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: When you push up and you grow the muscle there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: push up.
Speaker 2: I was thinking push up, bra, I was like crazy.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll leave you one final one hemorrhoid cream for.
Speaker 1: The ice dark circles that works allegedly.
Speaker 2: All right, We're going to have the best time with
Speaker 2: this book.
Speaker 1: Literally, I'm already having so much fun.
Speaker 3: I've written talks about a few of these, like written
Speaker 3: my initial thoughts, and it's giving humor and comedy.
Speaker 2: I'm sure Beauty Place Ebo is real, though, as real
Speaker 2: as anything else, like the just the act of doing it.
Speaker 2: And also one action will cause another action. So let's
Speaker 2: say you're doing some kind of facial massage with the
Speaker 2: intent to look slimmer and be slimmer. I don't doubt
Speaker 2: that you'd make other adjustments in your life to accommodate
Speaker 2: for that. Or if you truly believed that using a
Speaker 2: ring finger to tap in concealer would be better for
Speaker 2: your eyes, I'm sure you make other adjustments and be
Speaker 2: gentler with your skin.
Speaker 3: I don't actually agree, babe, And I also reckon the
Speaker 3: thing that I'm really conscious of with this book is
Speaker 3: that like there's a time and a place to treat yourself,
Speaker 3: and I think they're so like it's so fun to
Speaker 3: like buy little creams and stuff for me. The point
Speaker 3: that I'm trying to make, or the point that I
Speaker 3: want to make is like this idea that we're sold
Speaker 3: it like it's going to fix a problem that it
Speaker 3: can't fix.
Speaker 2: But is the idea that it's going to fix something
Speaker 2: or it's just because I feel like also in the
Speaker 2: one thing that all of this is missing is like
Speaker 2: audience responsibility to be literate. So like this whole idea
Speaker 2: that you can close pause, no one's ever said that.
Speaker 2: It's like it can give the appearance of minimized pause
Speaker 2: because you interpret it a different way and thus assumed
Speaker 2: it would do a different thing. Of course it's aerceptive advertising,
Speaker 2: but language matters, and so I think you can get
Speaker 2: to a point where you're like, they did this thing,
Speaker 2: they did this thing, But all of these beauty people
Speaker 2: have to go through really like rigorous processes to make
Speaker 2: sure the claims that they are making can be made.
Speaker 3: I also want to make the point that like when
Speaker 3: you really want to fix something, you're gonna do whatever
Speaker 3: to do it. Like that's story of my life. Like
Speaker 3: if I have acne, I went through to try and
Speaker 3: fix it, like I do anything to fix it. So
Speaker 3: I don't want to diminish this idea that someone has
Speaker 3: something that they want to fix. They're going to try everything,
Speaker 3: They're gonna spend thousands of dollars because I get it.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited for where you end up at the
Speaker 2: end of the book, Like are we calling why why
Speaker 2: a book? Call it a book? Makes it so like fiction?
Speaker 2: But where you end up, you know what you actually
Speaker 2: learn about the industry because I feel like what we
Speaker 2: can get to in these discussions is that the same
Speaker 2: things that we are complicit in are the same things
Speaker 2: that we're critiquing. And that's a skill to be able
Speaker 2: to do that. But then what happens, like you said,
Speaker 2: you want to shame a bunch of people and then
Speaker 2: be at the same spot and be like, oh, I
Speaker 2: do what you do.
Speaker 1: Literally for real.
Speaker 3: I really want to come at it from a compassion angle,
Speaker 3: but just because I just find it interesting learning about
Speaker 3: this stuff.
Speaker 1: I am the problem and the solution anyway.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to ask you, guys, because we run
Speaker 3: out of time, but books coming out late twenty twenty four,
Speaker 3: and I'm telling you, guys, I'm a lot more I
Speaker 3: make a lot more sense when I write.
Speaker 1: It's what I'm good at.
Speaker 2: Freeman is a great writer.
