Full transcript

1. 0:00Hi everyone, welcome back. Today we're
2. 0:01doing my September favorites and I'm
3. 0:04especially excited about this one
4. 0:05because we're starting to get into fall
5. 0:09and I feel like my mood is changing. The
6. 0:11things I'm wearing is changing and so it
7. 0:13really just kind of kicks in this like
8. 0:15shopping mood for me. I'm always a
9. 0:17shopper, but the fall is like really
10. 0:19it's like you do a little like cleaning
11. 0:21up of your home and then you just bring
12. 0:23in all the new stuff. So, let's talk
13. 0:25about it. Welcome to Glow Lab. We're
14. 0:26going to have a lot of fun and learn a
15. 0:28lot [music] together. We're going to of
16. 0:29course start with beauty. I have
17. 0:31switched up back to wearing burgundy
18. 0:34eyeliner. I got hit by the Tik Tok shop.
19. 0:36I was getting all the ads for the Soi uh
20. 0:40waterproof eyeliner and I got the color
21. 0:42lovesick is what I want to say it's
22. 0:44called and it is such a good eyeliner.
23. 0:46The pencil is really thin. It's one that
24. 0:48is retractable so you can like you never
25. 0:50have to sharpen it basically which is my
26. 0:51favorite thing when it comes to any kind
27. 0:52of liner. The color is like a burgundy
28. 0:54color. And the reason why I say I've
29. 0:56like brought back burgundy into my
30. 0:58makeup routine is because I used to wear
31. 1:01burgundy all the time when I was
32. 1:02younger. This is this is like kind of
33. 1:03like a throwback to like the early 2000s
34. 1:05because there was this article that came
35. 1:07out one time where Heidi Clume, the
36. 1:09model, said that she wears like purple
37. 1:11and burgundy's to bring out the golden
38. 1:13specks in her eyes. And from there it
39. 1:14turned into this thing that beauty
40. 1:15editors would always say about purples
41. 1:17and burgundy's. And so everybody for a
42. 1:20while there was wearing like burgundy
43. 1:21liner or burgundy mascara. And recently
44. 1:24I've noticed these burgundies and these
45. 1:25like deep browns have really made their
46. 1:28way back because they make brown eyes
47. 1:29look really really pretty. So this one I
48. 1:32like because it's like a burgundy but
49. 1:34it's more like a deep brown. Like it's
50. 1:37like a brown with a little bit of a red
51. 1:38undertone to it. And it's waterproof.
52. 1:40And like I said it's retractable. It's
53. 1:42it's a you know a pencil you don't have
54. 1:44to sharpen. And also it's a very thin
55. 1:47pencil which is a big deal for me
56. 1:49because we even used it today. My makeup
57. 1:51artist Nanda I was telling her about it
58. 1:53and she was like oh let me use it on
59. 1:54your makeup today and she used it on me
60. 1:56and she really could get like this thin
61. 1:58thin wing and just like swoop it out you
62. 2:00know so it looks beautiful. It stays. We
63. 2:03I was like swatching it for her. I've
64. 2:05washed my hands three times and put on
65. 2:06lotion and you can even still see like a
66. 2:08little fade of the color too. So it's a
67. 2:11really good pencil. I like it. The tip
68. 2:12is 1.5 mm, so it's really, really thin,
69. 2:15and that's like my favorite. Next up is
70. 2:17the Iris and Romeo weekend skin
71. 2:20sunscreen. This is a mineral sunscreen
72. 2:22that I have talked about actually before
73. 2:24and I went out and I bought a new tube
74. 2:26of it. So, I felt like, you know what,
75. 2:28whenever there's a product that I find
76. 2:29myself repurchasing, I want to share it
77. 2:32more and more because, you know, it's
78. 2:34rare when I go and buy my own beauty
79. 2:36products. Actually, I should take that
80. 2:37back. It's not that rare anymore. I I
81. 2:39hate receiving PR cuz I don't just want
82. 2:41like endless junk in my house at this
83. 2:44point. If it's something I didn't feel
84. 2:45inclined to buy, I don't really want it
85. 2:47anymore. I think this is just because
86. 2:48there's like the beauty industry is so
87. 2:50saturated. I work in this industry. It's
88. 2:52like it's just too much. Obviously, I'm
89. 2:53very grateful for PR. But when I truly
90. 2:57feel like I want to repurchase
91. 2:59something, I feel like it's something
92. 3:01noteworthy for all of you, too. So, this
93. 3:03sunscreen is a tinted sunscreen. They
94. 3:05have two I want to say they actually
95. 3:06have three shades of it. It is a mineral
96. 3:09sunscreen. It's nonnano zinc oxide. I'll
97. 3:12throw out there, it's a pricey mineral
98. 3:13sunscreen, but I do find I use it a lot.
99. 3:15Sometimes in place of my foundation,
100. 3:17like on a just a regular day when I'm
101. 3:19not going to be on camera or anything
102. 3:20like that. Even sometimes under makeup
103. 3:23though, I'll wear it because it gives
104. 3:24this really glowy, radiant look. Anna
105. 3:27actually thinks it looks a little too
106. 3:28greasy or feels too greasy on her, but I
107. 3:30have dry skin. I love it. I use like the
108. 3:33bronzier shade. So, I want to say it's
109. 3:34like the second shade that they have,
110. 3:36not their first shade. It is $50, just
111. 3:38so you guys know. But it also has a
112. 3:40vitamin C derivative, so it's really
113. 3:42stable. It helps with the antioxidants
114. 3:43and it has nyioinamide in it, and it
115. 3:45just gives you this radiant glow. I love
116. 3:47it. There's something about this
117. 3:48sunscreen that makes me want to
118. 3:50repurchase it. Next up, if you saw my
119. 3:52interview with Dr. Ena Lazar, she talked
120. 3:54about Lumifi and how Lumifi is better as
121. 3:57like an eye drop when you want white
122. 3:59eyes, like when you want to get rid of
123. 4:00the redness of your eyes. She talked
124. 4:02about it being a lot better for your
125. 4:03eyes, not necessarily something that you
126. 4:05should use all the time. Uh, but we did
127. 4:07this whole episode on dry eyes. She has
128. 4:09a whole procedure that she helps people
129. 4:11with. But we talked about eye drops,
130. 4:13especially for people that have red
131. 4:15eyes, which I have red eyes all the
132. 4:17time. I have allergies, seasonal
133. 4:19allergies that I deal with. When I'm
134. 4:20tired, my eyes look red. When I've been
135. 4:22in front of the computer, my phone too
136. 4:24long, my eyes turn really red. I'm just
137. 4:26really sensitive to this. So, we talked
138. 4:28about how I try to avoid using Visine
139. 4:31and other eye drops like this all the
140. 4:32time because I've heard you can get a
141. 4:34rebound effect, meaning that it actually
142. 4:35makes you have to use it all the time
143. 4:37because your eyes are even more red the
144. 4:39more you use it. And so, she talked
145. 4:41about Lumifi and how it doesn't give you
146. 4:43that rebound effect. So, I went out, I
147. 4:45bought Lumifi, I started using it again
148. 4:47and I was like, why did I stop using it?
149. 4:49My eyes are so bright white when I use
150. 4:51it. I still am trying to like limit the
151. 4:54amount of use because she said if you
152. 4:56find that you're still like using any
153. 4:58type of eye drops whether it's Lumifi or
154. 4:59not. She said that you should definitely
155. 5:01go see a doctor like her because that
156. 5:03means that you're probably dealing with
157. 5:04something else and you should get it
158. 5:05checked. But I do use it on days like
159. 5:08today when I'm going to be on camera and
160. 5:10it works really really well. And I have
161. 5:11to throw out there the the PR team did
162. 5:13reach out to me and they sent me a
163. 5:15little bundle of uh Lumifi as well. So I
164. 5:17think I'm stocked up for at least the
165. 5:19next few months on my Lumifi. It really
166. 5:21is a great eye drop and I just love
167. 5:23knowing that there's an option out there
168. 5:24that does not give you that rebound
169. 5:25effect. Next up is the perfume I've been
170. 5:27wearing. It is from Lee. I really am
171. 5:30like partial to Lee fragrances. Last
172. 5:33time I talked about one of their candles
173. 5:35that I love for my house. Every fall
174. 5:37season I go and buy a new Lee perfume
175. 5:40and this time I bought the air sutza
176. 5:43elixir. I want to say the reason why I
177. 5:45like it is it feels sexy. It feels light
178. 5:47but it's also a little bit musky. So, it
179. 5:48has this floral bit to it. It's a little
180. 5:51bit fruity and it's musky, which
181. 5:53actually I'm starting to realize is a
182. 5:55profile that I really like because even
183. 5:57our made in Miami, the Playa made in
184. 5:58Miami fragrance is also a little bit
185. 6:00fruity. It's also a little bit floral
186. 6:02and it's also a little bit musky. But
187. 6:04these feel really, really different.
188. 6:06This one feels like true perfume,
189. 6:08whereas the Made in Miami feels like
190. 6:09something you want to wear all the time.
191. 6:11Like you can spray it freely all over
192. 6:13yourself. and it has a little bit more
193. 6:15of a spicy note to end it. So, there's
194. 6:19something like slightly different about
195. 6:20Made in Miami versus this one. But, I
196. 6:22really love the fragrance and I find
197. 6:24it's one of those fragrances that lasts
198. 6:26the entire day. So, like I really can
199. 6:28smell it all over myself. I I love
200. 6:30mixing it with the Playa Made in Miami
201. 6:32because it just blends really well
202. 6:34together, too. But, it's a beautiful
203. 6:35perfume and I I really think that the
204. 6:37Lou perfumes are are great. I actually
205. 6:38convinced my boyfriend to get a Louis
206. 6:40cologne because he went with me to go
207. 6:43pick out this one and then he started
208. 6:45smelling some and I was like, "You're
209. 6:46going to love these cologn." So, he
210. 6:48bought one, too. Also, on the topic of
211. 6:49beauty, because we're entering the fall,
212. 6:51this is when I really start to kick up
213. 6:53all my my beauty treatments. Some of the
214. 6:55ones that I have lined up, or at least I
215. 6:57in my mind, I've got them lined up. I
216. 6:59actually have scar therapy. I'm going to
217. 7:01continue on with that. I started it at
218. 7:02the beginning, like right before summer
219. 7:04started. I did one session. That's when
220. 7:06they use an injection to get rid of
221. 7:08these spider veins on your legs. It
222. 7:10makes your legs look really ugly for
223. 7:11like two, three weeks. So, you have to
224. 7:13be very aware of that. But it's in my
225. 7:15opinion like the true therapy that works
226. 7:18for spider veins. So, I'm doing that
227. 7:21when I had frozen eggs like a year ago,
228. 7:23year and a half ago. All those hormones
229. 7:25like really got my spider veins going. A
230. 7:28lot of people don't realize that spider
231. 7:29veins can sometimes be triggered by an
232. 7:32influx of hormones. So, like if you're
233. 7:33on birth control or something, you might
234. 7:34start seeing more spider veins. Same
235. 7:36with some of your cellulite. It can
236. 7:37really kick that up. So, I saw this
237. 7:39difference. Like I really had more
238. 7:41spider veins after I done the egg
239. 7:42freezing treatment. So, I decided to
240. 7:45start the scar therapy. It is not
241. 7:46pleasant. I'll tell you that. Like, you
242. 7:48kind of have to lay there and they're
243. 7:49injecting it. It's kind of fascinating
244. 7:50to watch your veins disappear, but then
245. 7:52you get all this bruising and sometimes
246. 7:53the veins look a little bit worse before
247. 7:55they get better. So, I decided to stop
248. 7:57during the summertime and now I'm going
249. 7:58to start back up. I actually have an
250. 7:59appointment this upcoming Monday. So,
251. 8:01I'm going to start back up and I'll
252. 8:02probably do like two or three treatments
253. 8:04of that with Dr. Julie Dea Cruz, who is
254. 8:07one of my favorite dermatologists and
255. 8:08the person that I trust the most when it
256. 8:10comes to like really deep laser
257. 8:12treatments for my skin tone. I'm going
258. 8:14to go probably see her soon for another
259. 8:16round of CO2 and she'll probably stack
260. 8:18another uh laser treatment with it. Last
261. 8:21time I think she added Fraal to the
262. 8:22treatment. Don't quote me on this, but
263. 8:24this is what she did for me and I really
264. 8:26saw great results. So, this time I'm
265. 8:27going to do it with her. But I want to
266. 8:29try to get in at least two more
267. 8:30treatments. I don't have as much travel
268. 8:32this fall as I usually do. And it's like
269. 8:34this great opportunity for me to go like
270. 8:36every 6 weeks to get my skin exactly
271. 8:38where I want to get it. So, I'm excited
272. 8:40about it. And then I'm going to go see
273. 8:42Rochelle at Skincare by Amy Peterson
274. 8:44because she's my girl when it comes to
275. 8:45my bio stimulators. She does Reuba
276. 8:48specifically on me, which kind of gives
277. 8:49you this like fat cell matrix to really
278. 8:52grow your own fat cells in the places
279. 8:54that you inject it. So, I'm just going
280. 8:56to give myself a little boost in this
281. 8:58upper area where I had gotten the fat
282. 9:00injections last year. So, I'm going to
283. 9:02do my little I guess like annual boost,
284. 9:05fat boost to my face. So, it's going to
285. 9:07be very, you know, it's going to be
286. 9:08really subtle. You guys might not even
287. 9:10notice, but I notice. Okay. And I feel
288. 9:12like this little upkeep, like an annual
289. 9:14upkeep of my bio stimulators is like
290. 9:16really keeping my face snatched.
291. 9:20This episode is brought to you by
292. 9:21BonCharge. You guys know I love my red
293. 9:24light therapy. I'm so consistent with it
294. 9:25that my kids don't even blink anymore
295. 9:27when they see me wearing [music] a mask.
296. 9:28Mom's sitting there in a glowing face
297. 9:29mask. Totally normal. Happens every day.
298. 9:32And lately, I've been using the red
299. 9:34light face mask from Boncharge. I've
300. 9:36tried a lot of skincare products and
301. 9:37devices over the years, and red light is
302. 9:38one of those few things I always come
303. 9:40back to. I use it for so much more than
304. 9:42just anti-aging, too. When my skin's
305. 9:44irritated, when I've done a treatment
306. 9:46and want to help it bounce back, when I
307. 9:48just want 10 quiet minutes to myself at
308. 9:50the end of the day, it's my answer for
309. 9:52all of it. But, by the way, I do it for
310. 9:53like 30 minutes. Bon Chargar's Red Light
311. 9:55Face Mask combines red and near infrared
312. 9:58light to support elasticity and fuel
313. 10:00your cell's energy production. Over
314. 10:02time, with consistency, it can help
315. 10:04soften the look of fine lines and
316. 10:06wrinkles, even your skin tone, and bring
317. 10:08back that lit from within glow. And it's
318. 10:10just so easy to fit into real life. You
319. 10:12do 10 minutes, mask on while you read or
320. 10:14meditate, or do absolutely nothing. I've
321. 10:17even dozed off in it more than once.
322. 10:19It's just that soothing and comfortable.
323. 10:20I can definitely tell the difference in
324. 10:22my skin when I keep up with my red light
325. 10:24therapy sessions. Here's a little on the

386. 12:34like the fashion clothing category. Um,
387. 12:36the jeans I'm wearing are fantastic.
388. 12:38They're only $60. They're from Uniliglo
389. 12:40and I highly recommend them. They are
390. 12:43the straightle men's jeans. The reason
391. 12:45why I think that they're so great is
392. 12:46because they are a collaboration with JW
393. 12:49Anderson. If you don't know who that is,
394. 12:51he used to be the Louis creative
395. 12:53director. He recently, like a year ago,
396. 12:56moved over to Dior and he also does have
397. 12:58his own line called JW Anderson. So,
398. 13:01this is a collaboration with his own
399. 13:03line. And I find that these jeans are
400. 13:05like the perfect baggy, comfy,
401. 13:08straightlegg jeans for everybody. They
402. 13:09have a few different shades. I don't
403. 13:11know if you knew this, but I didn't
404. 13:13actually until I went on to the website.
405. 13:14I bought these in person. I was in the
406. 13:16store and I saw these jeans. I was with
407. 13:18my boyfriend. He was shopping for some
408. 13:20t-shirts that he likes there. And I just
409. 13:22happened to be in the men's section,
410. 13:23which I never go into. And I saw these
411. 13:25jeans and I was like, "Wait, I have to
412. 13:26get these." I'm wearing the size 29,
413. 13:29which is really baggy on me actually.
414. 13:31But again, it's like that perfect boy
415. 13:33jean baggginess for me. I think that
416. 13:35they're the 32 in inseam. But what I was
417. 13:38going to say is when you go on to the
418. 13:39actual website, you can actually
419. 13:41customize the inseam length for whatever
420. 13:44you want. And you can decide if you want
421. 13:45to have like the original seam or if you
422. 13:48want it to just be like a frayed seam or
423. 13:50whatever it is. And you can really
424. 13:52customize it, which I think I think
425. 13:53that's like amazing that you can do that
426. 13:54with Uniliglo. I had no idea. So, I just
427. 13:56placed an order for another pair of
428. 13:58these jeans, but in a different color.
429. 14:00So, I'll report back on that. But these
430. 14:02are a great buy. They are so good that I
431. 14:04texted Anna and I said, "You need to buy
432. 14:06these jeans." Next up, I decided on the
433. 14:09way here that I'm not going to tell you
434. 14:11where I bought this thumb ring. But I
435. 14:13want to recommend thumb rings to you
436. 14:15guys cuz I actually think they're a
437. 14:17really cute trend. Like, everybody wears
438. 14:19pinky rings, but what about thumb rings?
439. 14:20They're so cute. I got this one from a
440. 14:23small indie designer and the only reason
441. 14:26why I don't I'm hesitant to say the
442. 14:28brand of it isn't because I I like the
443. 14:30ring actually. I think it's beautiful,
444. 14:31but these are moisite stones and two of
445. 14:34them have already fallen out. I actually
446. 14:36got it with one out. I emailed them and
447. 14:38they responded really quickly about the
448. 14:40first stone and said that they would get
449. 14:41back to me with a solution for it and
450. 14:44then she hasn't gotten back to me and
451. 14:45it's been over a week and a half, maybe
452. 14:46two weeks now. I'll probably check in
453. 14:48now that I've lost a second stone. But I
454. 14:50don't really know what they're going to
455. 14:51do unless they just like completely
456. 14:53replace the ring. If they do, I'll
457. 14:54report back. That's like really great
458. 14:56customer service if they do. Um because
459. 14:58it is a beautiful ring. But I think I'll
460. 14:59just go ahead and link some of my
461. 15:01favorite thumb rings that I've seen
462. 15:03online. That way you have just a few
463. 15:05options. But I think a thumb ring is
464. 15:07like that's fun. And then going back to
465. 15:09because it's fall, I always think it's
466. 15:11nice to splurge on a really fancy scarf,
467. 15:15like a really big one. I do travel a
468. 15:17lot. Like I'm on an airplane at least
469. 15:18once a month. So if I'm going to be on
470. 15:20an airplane, I want to have a big scarf
471. 15:22with me. And I find that designer
472. 15:23scarves are the best ones to get. I have
473. 15:26a couple from Lee. I have a couple from
474. 15:28Salaron. I actually just bought a new
475. 15:29one from Salaron. And it almost is
476. 15:31essentially like a blanket. Like you can
477. 15:33walk into a lot of these designer stores
478. 15:34and be like, "You know what? I want a
479. 15:36really big blanket type scarf." And
480. 15:38they'll bring out lots of different
481. 15:40options for you. So I just picked out a
482. 15:41new scarf. I got one from Salarant. I
483. 15:43love it. It's really soft and it's comfy
484. 15:46and I'm I know I'm going to use it all
485. 15:48the time. So, I highly recommend if you
486. 15:50want to splurge on yourself, but you
487. 15:51know, you don't have the option to go
488. 15:52get like a bag necessarily, but you want
489. 15:54to still kind of go up there, get a nice
490. 15:57scarf. It's totally worth it. I use them
491. 15:59all the time, especially if I'm on an
492. 16:01airplane. Next up, I am a candy freak.
493. 16:03Like, I'm a snacks/ candy freak. It's
494. 16:06probably especially candy is like one of
495. 16:08the worst things I do for my body and my
496. 16:10skin. I cannot help myself. I'm addicted
497. 16:12to snacks and candy. So, I'm always
498. 16:14finding like interesting weird candies.
499. 16:16And the one I'm like obsessed with right
500. 16:17now is called uh the brand is called
501. 16:19Joby. It's called Rocadas. They're these
502. 16:22watermelon candies that have basically
503. 16:24like taheen on top of them. So, they
504. 16:26start off really salty and savory and
505. 16:28like a touch spicy. They have that
506. 16:29taheen flavor and then it turns into
507. 16:32this sweet hard candy, a watermelon
508. 16:33candy, and it's delicious. Like, I don't
509. 16:36know why you wouldn't like that. I know
510. 16:38some people don't like taheen, but if
511. 16:39you like taheen, it's amazing. Like,
512. 16:41it's one of the best candies out there.
513. 16:43And I'll say I buy every taheen candy I
514. 16:46come across. Like there has not been a
515. 16:47taheen candy I have not purchased if I
516. 16:49saw it, whether it's at the airport or
517. 16:51at a store or whatever. And sometimes
518. 16:53they're not good. So this one is
519. 16:55delicious. Next up is eight sleep. I
520. 16:58bought this myself. I know that a lot of
521. 16:59content creators get this for free and a
522. 17:02lot of people are doing ads for it. I
523. 17:03wanted to purchase it myself because I
524. 17:05truly wanted to just like form my own
525. 17:07opinion on it. Um I bought the entire
526. 17:10system. So, I bought the system that
527. 17:11like goes under your bed to lift it that
528. 17:14gives you like a sound machine and
529. 17:16everything. I bought the blanket. Like,
530. 17:17I bought the entire system. But what I
531. 17:20actually recommend is just the smart
532. 17:22mattress cover. At first, I wasn't sure
533. 17:24if I like. If you don't know what eight
534. 17:26is, it's basically this system to help
535. 17:28regulate your temperature while you're
536. 17:30sleeping. I'm one of those people that I
537. 17:32just don't even know what my temperature
538. 17:33is going to be, especially living in
539. 17:35Miami. You can blast the air conditioner
540. 17:37and still be sweating in your bed if you
541. 17:38have like a regular comforter because
542. 17:40it's just like this juxosition. Like it
543. 17:42sometimes doesn't even get that cool in
544. 17:44your room no matter how high you're
545. 17:45blasting the air. Then you don't want to
546. 17:47blast it so high that you're freezing.
547. 17:50So it's like very uncomfortable
548. 17:51sometimes to sleep, especially in the
549. 17:53summertime in Miami. So, I got this um
550. 17:56specifically for that because I've
551. 17:57definitely had these like pmenopause
552. 17:59situations where I've woken up like in a
553. 18:01you know like a pull of sweat as well,
554. 18:03but then sometimes I get really cold
555. 18:04while I'm sleeping too. This is really
556. 18:07interesting because what I started doing
557. 18:10when I installed it during the summer
558. 18:11time was keeping it at a cooler
559. 18:12temperature and then I started realizing
560. 18:14it was making me too cold and I wasn't
561. 18:16like comfortable. And then now that
562. 18:19we've moved into fall, I find that I go
563. 18:21to sleep with it like one degree up or
564. 18:24like one level up. I guess it's not
565. 18:25really a temperature thing. And it's so
566. 18:28cozy with the room kind of cold around
567. 18:30me and I don't want to get out of bed.
568. 18:34It's truly like it's kind of a game
569. 18:36changer. I'm still trying to figure out
570. 18:39if I like it or not. Like there are
571. 18:40moments where it's like sometimes like
572. 18:42the alarm gets triggered on it. So, it's
573. 18:43waking me up at like 7:00 a.m. or
574. 18:45something when I wanted to sleep in
575. 18:46finally or, you know, like it's got like
576. 18:49some of the settings just like decide
577. 18:50that they're going to go on. I don't
578. 18:52really know what it's what it's doing.
579. 18:53It's supposed to be kind of like
580. 18:54tracking you and so it starts to like
581. 18:56learn your temperature and everything
582. 18:58and be fixing itself. It's kind of like
583. 19:00having like a smart ring, you know, like
584. 19:01it's tracking your sleep, how well
585. 19:03you're sleeping, your temperature, and
586. 19:04how it's changing and stuff. So, it's
587. 19:06supposed to get to know you, but I find
588. 19:07that one of the flaws is that it hasn't
589. 19:09really gotten to know me. Sometimes my
590. 19:10kids are in the bed, sometimes my
591. 19:12boyfriend's in the bed. By the way, if
592. 19:14you have a husband or a boyfriend or a
593. 19:15partner, it can also be dual zoned, so
594. 19:18it can be, you know, set to a
595. 19:20temperature for your side and set to a
596. 19:21temperature for your partner's side as
597. 19:22well. So, it really has these like cool
598. 19:24functions. I feel like this was created
599. 19:26for a man with a man in mind. It's an
600. 19:28ugly system. I was really hesitant to
601. 19:30install it because it's black. You have
602. 19:32to have this big tower thing that's on
603. 19:34the side of your bed, and that was ugly
604. 19:36for my room. And I don't know, I was
605. 19:38really hesitant about it. So, I I feel
606. 19:39like I'm like 50/50 about it, but now
607. 19:41I've been sleeping really cozy, and now
608. 19:43I'm starting to love it. I'm informing
609. 19:45you about it, and I really think you
610. 19:47just need the mattress cover if you do
611. 19:48fluctuate temperature- wise, but I'm
612. 19:51throwing out some caveats with this one,
613. 19:53cuz it is pricey, too. Next up, I've
614. 19:56kind of joined the bandwagon when it
615. 19:57comes to the old school digital cameras.
616. 20:00I went back to my G7X, and I love it. I
617. 20:03think my best photos are actually with
618. 20:04my G7X, but what I find is it's a little
619. 20:07bit clunky. like you can't just throw it
620. 20:08into your purse. I'm a I'm like a little
621. 20:10purse girl. Like I I kind of either have
622. 20:12like a small purse with me or a really
623. 20:14large bag with me. It's never really in
624. 20:16the middle anymore. So, it's not easy to
625. 20:19carry it with me. And then I find that I
626. 20:20throw it into my bigger bag that's like
627. 20:22a travel bag and then it kind of gets
628. 20:24beat up and then my pictures don't look
629. 20:25as good cuz maybe like the lens is dirty
630. 20:27or something like I'm really beating up
631. 20:28my G7X. I think that those photos are by
632. 20:31far the best. But I recently bought a
633. 20:34little like cheaper digital camera. It's
634. 20:37the Kodak PixPro FC FZ55.
635. 20:40It's tiny and it doesn't take the most
636. 20:43amazing pictures, but what I've decided,
637. 20:45the reason why we like these digital
638. 20:48camera pictures is because they're not
639. 20:50super HD. Like, we kind of like that
640. 20:52they're not showing every pore on your
641. 20:54face, every wrinkle on your face. Like,
642. 20:55they make you look prettier because
643. 20:57you're softer. And like, isn't that what
644. 20:59we wanted? Why did we go so HD with
645. 21:01everything? Like, our iPhones get too
646. 21:02much detail. I don't want to see the the
647. 21:05powder cracking on my face. I don't want
648. 21:07to see the makeup that's like getting
649. 21:08into my crow's feet. And the newer
650. 21:11cameras just like show all that. The
651. 21:13iPhone can sometimes show every
652. 21:15imperfection. Whereas these digital
653. 21:17cameras, they're so nice because they
654. 21:19just make you look smooth. It's like you
655. 21:21kind of have a filter. And so I like
656. 21:22this one. It's not the most crisp photo,
657. 21:24but it's really, you know, really small.
658. 21:26It's fun to have with you. And it has
659. 21:29like a little flash on it. I really
660. 21:30think it's just for fun. Anyway, so
661. 21:32those were my September favorites. I
662. 21:34already Anna and I are sitting here
663. 21:36right now thinking about all the other
664. 21:37ones that I want to add to the list, but
665. 21:38I'll just move them over to the October
666. 21:40list. Um, I hope that these roundups are
667. 21:42really helpful for you because I really
668. 21:44love sharing the things that I'm loving
669. 21:46that I want to buy that I am buying. And
670. 21:48I hope that it's uh inspiring you to
671. 21:50purchase some stuff that you actually
672. 21:52want or need. So, let me know in the
673. 21:54comments below if you have questions
674. 21:55about any kinds of products, too, cuz
675. 21:56I'm always willing to try stuff for you
676. 21:58as well. So, until next time, happy
677. 22:00shopping.
