0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:10.239
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast, Flexi. As we all know,

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I am writing a book.

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>You're writing a book.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 3>The book the title is TBC. It was announced as

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 3>perfect Candidate. We have gone back and had a little

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 3>think about that one, as per you do when you're

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:21.319
<v Speaker 3>in the early stages of writing a book. But the

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.799
<v Speaker 3>announcement needed to be announced, and I'm very excited because

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.319
<v Speaker 3>there was fanfare. So the book is about beauty in

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of a broad sense, and naturally I need to

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 3>talk about nostalgia, given I allegedly really care about that stuff.

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 3>According to you, Flexi, I can't get my brain out

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 3>of two thousand and four, and honestly, there is some.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Truth to the fact.

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Despite how much I try and become a modern woman,

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 3>I am still eight years old. I needed to ask everybody,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 3>what are some tips that you learn when you were

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 3>a kid that you still use. So the thing that

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I remembered most was I reckon. It was two thousand

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 3>and five and I read that a celebrity puts her

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 3>face cream on in upward sweeping motion because allegedly that's

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:02.959
<v Speaker 3>like how she doesn't have wrinkles.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I believed it.

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Suddenly I'm freaking out at eight years old or how

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 3>her old. I was being like, oh my god, like

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I didn't moisturize because the kids even put moisturizer on.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, did you mickey not till like I reckon like fourteen? Yeah, legit, Yeah,

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I was ahead of the curb. No one

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>neflex looks like a baby. We really fludged it up.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 3>Same thinking, oh my god all the times, like Mum

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 3>puts sounds crewen on my face. She was just dragging

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 3>it around like who caress? She said, you are now

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm haggard twenty eight going on forty five. Tell me

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 3>why When I was eighteen everyone thought I was thirty

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 3>the club despite having braces.

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>They said that papery, thin skin.

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Nothing's going on, siss all right, So I want to

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 3>know what you to learn when your kid you still

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 3>do They could be real, but like most of these

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 3>are fake. Here's some suggestions. Lemon water, A lot of

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 3>you girls still doing that. That's a contentious one.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not the kid dentist.

0:01:58.760 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I say, it's really bad for your tea.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>It rose at your enamel, so real, especially when it's warm. Guys.

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>That makes it worse, worse when it's warm.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>But don't worry. I'll go into it in my book

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>which is later to come.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Out this research. So if you feel attacked, just so

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>that there's research coming to back this.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully I haven't found it out yet. I am talking

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to experts.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Someone said, I still have spoons in the frazer to

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>get rid of puffy eyes. I did this for zero

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.239
<v Speaker 3>reason when I was ten. Wow, I can kind of

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 3>see the vision there. Don't use your pointer finger to

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>put on cream because it's skin. Skin is too sensitive

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 3>and that finger is too rough.

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh you use your ring finger?

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you've heard of that.

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've heard it for people who apply makeup with

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>their fingers are not brushes. That if you're going to

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 2>do that, you should be using a ring finger and

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 2>do tapping motions. But I mean we're here now.

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Also, I cream like it's not real. Yeah yeah, I think.

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I actually because I still a beauty podcast.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>The experts were saying it's real, it's real. Yeah, yeah,

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the experts selling your product.

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Mickey, are you talking to certified ptologist?

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>So he Foster Blake thinks it's real? Tell me why

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>when I went to a dermatologist. You know the only

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>product you recommended.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Anza said of Field, Babe.

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh really yeah, my dorm do you? Okay?

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Well I'm going back next month because my psoriasis. Okay,

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 3>so I'll get the tea from you again. What brand

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 3>are we doing these days?

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Guys?

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Rinse your hair with cold water so the follicle closest.

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I gotta google that one.

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>That one's true. It works the same for face as well.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Also people saying that crossing your legs will give you

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 3>varicose veins. That one was held over me quite tightly

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 3>as a child.

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>When you say people said, was it like media you

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>were consuming, or like the women in your life affirming

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>this to you?

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 3>I think it's from a whole bunch of different angles

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 3>that I couldn't pinpoint where. Like I couldn't pinpoint where

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 3>that like moisturizer. One was from push ups to make

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 3>your boobs perky. I think that's real.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>If one can hold their boobs up to make them

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>less saggy, why could I not hold my skin up?

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 3>When you push up and you grow the muscle there, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 3>push up.

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking push up, bra, I was like crazy.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'll leave you one final one hemorrhoid cream for.

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>The ice dark circles that works allegedly.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, We're going to have the best time with

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>this book.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Literally, I'm already having so much fun.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 3>I've written talks about a few of these, like written

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 3>my initial thoughts, and it's giving humor and comedy.

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure Beauty Place Ebo is real, though, as real

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>as anything else, like the just the act of doing it.

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 2>And also one action will cause another action. So let's

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>say you're doing some kind of facial massage with the

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 2>intent to look slimmer and be slimmer. I don't doubt

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>that you'd make other adjustments in your life to accommodate

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>for that. Or if you truly believed that using a

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>ring finger to tap in concealer would be better for

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.919
<v Speaker 2>your eyes, I'm sure you make other adjustments and be

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 2>gentler with your skin.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't actually agree, babe, And I also reckon the

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 3>thing that I'm really conscious of with this book is

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 3>that like there's a time and a place to treat yourself,

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 3>and I think they're so like it's so fun to

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 3>like buy little creams and stuff for me. The point

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>that I'm trying to make, or the point that I

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 3>want to make is like this idea that we're sold

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>it like it's going to fix a problem that it

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 3>can't fix.

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>But is the idea that it's going to fix something

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>or it's just because I feel like also in the

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>one thing that all of this is missing is like

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>audience responsibility to be literate. So like this whole idea

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 2>that you can close pause, no one's ever said that.

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.799
<v Speaker 2>It's like it can give the appearance of minimized pause

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>because you interpret it a different way and thus assumed

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 2>it would do a different thing. Of course it's aerceptive advertising,

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 2>but language matters, and so I think you can get

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 2>to a point where you're like, they did this thing,

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>they did this thing, But all of these beauty people

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 2>have to go through really like rigorous processes to make

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>sure the claims that they are making can be made.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 3>I also want to make the point that like when

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 3>you really want to fix something, you're gonna do whatever

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 3>to do it. Like that's story of my life. Like

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 3>if I have acne, I went through to try and

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 3>fix it, like I do anything to fix it. So

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to diminish this idea that someone has

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 3>something that they want to fix. They're going to try everything,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna spend thousands of dollars because I get it.

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited for where you end up at the

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>end of the book, Like are we calling why why

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 2>a book? Call it a book? Makes it so like fiction?

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.799
<v Speaker 2>But where you end up, you know what you actually

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>learn about the industry because I feel like what we

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 2>can get to in these discussions is that the same

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 2>things that we are complicit in are the same things

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>that we're critiquing. And that's a skill to be able

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 2>to do that. But then what happens, like you said,

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>you want to shame a bunch of people and then

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>be at the same spot and be like, oh, I

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 2>do what you do.

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Literally for real.

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 3>I really want to come at it from a compassion angle,

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 3>but just because I just find it interesting learning about

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 3>this stuff.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I am the problem and the solution anyway.

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to ask you, guys, because we run

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 3>out of time, but books coming out late twenty twenty four,

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 3>and I'm telling you, guys, I'm a lot more I

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 3>make a lot more sense when I write.

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>It's what I'm good at.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Freeman is a great writer.

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.160
