Apparently, all the cool kids have been discussing what they think is going to be in in 2024 and what they think is going to be out in 2024, what they think is going to be hot in 2024, what they think is going to be not in 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is the conversation happening on the internet right now.
0
SPEAKER_00
And normally, I m late to these conversations because I don t have a TikTok.
0
SPEAKER_00
Normally, I find out about these conversations three months late through Instagram Reels and in really dark times, YouTube Shorts.
0
SPEAKER_00
But not this time.
0
SPEAKER_00
Not this time.
0
SPEAKER_00
This time, the conversation made its way to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts a little bit early.
0
SPEAKER_00
So guess what?
0
SPEAKER_00
Emma gets to participate.
0
SPEAKER_00
Emma gets to participate in the trendy conversation that s happening.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is so exciting for her.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m so excited that I m going to make a two-part series.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, a two-part series about what I think is going to be in and what I think is going to be out in 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s such a rare occasion that I m on time to these conversations that I have to take advantage of it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have to enjoy this experience.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so in this episode, I m going to share what I think is going to be in, in 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
And next week, I m going to share what I think is going to be out in 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
So stay tuned for that.
0
SPEAKER_00
But today we re going to be discussing what is going to be in.
0
SPEAKER_00
What is in?
0
SPEAKER_00
Now let me be clear, I m not talking about what s going to be in, in any particular category, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
This is just what I think is going to be in broadly.
0
SPEAKER_00
And you can disagree with me.
0
SPEAKER_00
In fact, I love when you disagree with me.
0
SPEAKER_00
But this is just what my gut is telling me.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is just what my intuition has told me, and I can t fight that voice.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m sorry, I just can t.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just can t.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let s begin.
0
SPEAKER_00
Number one, being unapologetically choogy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Most of you probably know what choogy means, but for the few of you that don t, choogy is a slang adjective mocking someone or something as uncool.
0
SPEAKER_00
They are out of touch with current trends or trying too hard to be trendy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Similar slang terms are basic or normie.
0
SPEAKER_00
Listen, a lot of us want to be cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
I want to be cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
I d say it s been a priority for me in the past to be cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think it s even still a priority for me now, but I m ready to go back to being a little chew-gear.
0
SPEAKER_00
A little more basic, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
I m sick of everything having to be perfectly aesthetic, and vintage, and retro, and artsy, and tastefully done.
0
SPEAKER_00
No!
0
SPEAKER_00
We can t live like that 100% of the time, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes we want to go to Bath & Body Works and buy a fucking candle that has terrible packaging, that smells delicious.
0
SPEAKER_00
Is that chuggy?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes, that s chuggy.
0
SPEAKER_00
But do I have a Bath & Body Works candle lit right now that smells like sugar cookies?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_00
Is it making me happy?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_00
Does it completely throw off the aesthetic of my room?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes, it ruins it.
0
SPEAKER_00
But fuck it, because the candle smells good and it makes me happy.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
I like my Stanley Cup.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, Stanley Cups are considered choogy.
0
SPEAKER_00
If you don t know what a Stanley Cup is, Google it, look at the photo, and you ll say, oh yeah, I know what that is.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s the big stainless steel cup with the handle on it that has a straw coming out the top.
0
SPEAKER_00
You ve seen it.
0
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people think that this cup is chuggy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because it is.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
Everyone has one.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I fucking love my Stanley Cup.
0
SPEAKER_00
I love my Stanley Cup.
0
SPEAKER_00
It keeps me hydrated.
0
SPEAKER_00
It makes me happy.
0
SPEAKER_00
When I buy a new color of a Stanley Cup, I m happy.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m excited.
0
SPEAKER_00
It brings me joy.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s something I use every single day.
0
SPEAKER_00
I love that fucking cup.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let me correct myself.
0
SPEAKER_00
I love those cups.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have three of them.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I use all of them.
0
SPEAKER_00
One of them goes in the dishwasher pulling out the other one.
0
SPEAKER_00
One of them breaks or I leave it somewhere.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh, great.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have a third one.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s all amazing.
0
SPEAKER_00
The Stanley Cup is amazing.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t care that it s choogy.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m going to own it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Ugg boots?
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve been wearing them for the last few years.
0
SPEAKER_00
I love Ugg boots.
0
SPEAKER_00
Are they choogy?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, they are.
0
SPEAKER_00
But you know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
Actually, Ugg boots kind of became trendy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Honestly, Ugg boots really became trendy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re not even choogy anymore, I m realizing.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, well, ignore that example.
0
SPEAKER_00
You get the idea, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
Everyone s so obsessed with being cool these days that they don t get to enjoy choogy shit anymore.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think, as a collective, as a society, we should all come together and be okay with being choogy again, just a little bit.
0
SPEAKER_00
We don t have to be choogy across the board, just choogy in little ways that make us happy.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s in, it s in for 2024, mark my words.
0
SPEAKER_00
Number two, the five second rule with food.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let me explain.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are a lot of foods that I eat that are perfect for the five second rule.
0
SPEAKER_00
For example, I love grabbing a little handful of almonds.
0
SPEAKER_00
My God, do I love that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I love pouring myself a little bowl of popcorn.
0
SPEAKER_00
Want to know what these two foods have in common?
0
SPEAKER_00
They always end up on the floor.
0
SPEAKER_00
Always.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, every single time I drop a piece of popcorn or an almond on the floor, I ask myself, is it okay for me to eat this?
0
SPEAKER_00
And almost every time I decide, yes, it is okay for me to eat this, and I eat it off the floor.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, I don t recommend the five second rule across the board in life.
0
SPEAKER_00
okay if you drop a wet food like you know a piece of pizza with wet cheese on it or i don t know like ice cream on the floor yeah don t pick it up and eat it okay don t do that because it s like picking shit up right but like something a bit drier something a bit airier like a piece of popcorn or a chip or an almond you know what i m saying you can eat that
0
SPEAKER_00
I guess I must also be clear about where you drop the food.
0
SPEAKER_00
If you re walking around the streets of New York and you drop a piece of popcorn, my God, let that thing go.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let that thing go, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
If you re sitting on public transportation and you drop an almond, my God, kick that under the seat, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
Use common sense here.
0
SPEAKER_00
We all have common sense.
0
SPEAKER_00
We know when the five-second rule applies and when it doesn t, but I know that there are a lot of us out there that don t utilize the five-second rule when it s meant to be utilized.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, when I m at home and I drop an almond on the floor, for fuck s sake, you know, I m not wearing my shoes in the house.
0
SPEAKER_00
I can eat that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I actually do wear my shoes in the house.
0
SPEAKER_00
Damn, sometimes, yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Shit, I m probably eating dog poop when I drop an almond on the floor and then it picks up a piece of dog poop from my shoe and then I m eating it.
0
SPEAKER_00
But you get what I m saying.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, we can utilize the five second rule more often than we are.
0
SPEAKER_00
And we re all gonna be fine.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe.
0
SPEAKER_00
Just be smart.
0
SPEAKER_00
Use common sense with the five-second rule.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, let me clarify.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let me summarize.
0
SPEAKER_00
What s in is using the five-second rule with food with common sense, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
If you don t have common sense, then you shouldn t use the five-second rule.
0
SPEAKER_00
But if you do, you should be using the five-second rule.
0
SPEAKER_00
Just don t forget that it s there and don t be ashamed of it either.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like sometimes I eat a snack in my bed, especially popcorn.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m really in a popcorn phase.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ll eat popcorn in my bed and I ll get a few pieces of popcorn in my bed and I won t notice until like the next day.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m eating that shit.
0
SPEAKER_00
Sorry, I m eating that.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s sort of a version of the five second rule in a way because
0
SPEAKER_00
Your bed is so clean that it becomes like the 48-hour rule.
0
SPEAKER_00
On the floor, it s the five-second rule.
0
SPEAKER_00
In your bed or something or on a chair, 48-hour to a week rule.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can still eat it, in my opinion, in my humble opinion.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just don t think there s anything wrong with it, as long as you re using common sense.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I like the rush that it gives you.
0
SPEAKER_00
It gives you a little rush, you know?
0
SPEAKER_00
Fuck it, I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can disagree with me on that one.
0
SPEAKER_00
Number three, high quality entertainment.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve talked about this quite a bit because I am so dedicated to this concept of consuming high quality entertainment to improve your life.
0
SPEAKER_00
not to be corny, but we are what we consume.
0
SPEAKER_00
I notice that very vividly in my own life.
0
SPEAKER_00
When I m watching a lot of toxic shit, like I m watching shitty videos about celebrity drama or
0
SPEAKER_00
I m watching shopping hauls of people buying like $40,000 worth of designer clothing.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, when I m watching shit like that, I feel my brain rotting, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel my brain rotting.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, don t get me wrong, that type of stuff is fun every once in a while.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t think it s realistic to cut all of that out, but, oh no, you know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
It is realistic, actually, and that is a goal that I m going to set for myself.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t need to consume that type of content at all, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t benefit me in any way, shape, or form.
0
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t feed my brain in a way that s positive.
0
SPEAKER_00
Watching well-done movies
1
SPEAKER_00
well-done documentaries, listening to educational or inspirational podcasts, making creative mood boards on Pinterest, watching interesting or wholesome or educational YouTube videos, all put your brain in a better place.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m all about good entertainment, good quality, high quality entertainment.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve noticed in myself, it lowers my anxiety.
1
SPEAKER_00
It teaches me things.
1
SPEAKER_00
It makes me feel more inspired on a day-to-day basis.
1
SPEAKER_00
It changes my whole mindset.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
High quality entertainment is in.
1
SPEAKER_00
Low quality entertainment, gossip, drama, overindulgence, you know, like people flexing their wealth or whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, no, no, no, no.
1
SPEAKER_00
Out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Things that are artistic and beautiful and wholesome and educational and interesting.
1
SPEAKER_00
In, in, in.
1
SPEAKER_00
In.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve also noticed that that type of content is less addicting.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s much easier to just enjoy a little bit of it and then go back to what you re doing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because that type of content makes you feel inspired and excited about your life.
1
SPEAKER_00
So then you re stoked to get back to your life when you re done eating your lunch and watching your little YouTube video.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
1
SPEAKER_00
When you re scrolling on TikTok, you feel weirdly doomed.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then you don t want to do anything after that.
1
SPEAKER_00
High quality entertainment is in.
1
SPEAKER_00
In addition to that, reading.
1
SPEAKER_00
Reading is in.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number four, reading.
1
SPEAKER_00
I love reading a good fucking book.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fuck.
1
SPEAKER_00
I love that.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I m so not disciplined about it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m so bad about it.
1
SPEAKER_00
And this year, I m making it a priority.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m going to read at least a book a month.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s not going to happen, but I m going to set that goal.
1
SPEAKER_00
And even if I read one book every two months, I ll be happy.
1
SPEAKER_00
When I m reading, I ve noticed I m so much less anxious.
1
SPEAKER_00
My vocabulary improves.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like my attention span improves.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, it forces me to slow down.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s just great.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s also a great thing to do before bed, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
Instead of scrolling on your phone, scrolling on your computer, watching TV, read a little book for fuck s sake.
1
SPEAKER_00
Reading is in.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s gonna take discipline from all of us, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
It s hard because there s so many easy sources of entertainment all around us.
1
SPEAKER_00
But reading has got to be in this year.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have to go back to reading.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have to.
1
SPEAKER_00
We all need it.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re all rotting our brains.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have to read this year.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was so good about reading like a year and a half ago, two years ago, and then I just fell off the horse completely.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fuck it, I m back and I want it to last for the rest of my life.
1
SPEAKER_00
Reading is in in 2024 and beyond.
1
SPEAKER_00
It has to be.
1
SPEAKER_00
It has to be.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, number five, badminton.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, in 2023, it was all about pickleball.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m not sure if you heard about that craze, but I did.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I ll tell you, I never played pickleball.
1
SPEAKER_00
I still, actually, maybe I did once with my little cousin.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t remember.
1
SPEAKER_00
Even if I did, my little cousin, this specific little cousin is like eight.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so if we did play pickleball together, she s not, she wasn t playing it properly.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it didn t count.
1
SPEAKER_00
Does that make sense?
1
SPEAKER_00
And that s no shade to her.
1
SPEAKER_00
I love her, but you get the idea.
1
SPEAKER_00
Did I play pickleball?
1
SPEAKER_00
Whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fuck it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I never participated in that trend.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s all the rage these days.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s great.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think badminton s better.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sorry.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think badminton is better.
1
SPEAKER_00
Badminton is so unbelievably underrated.
1
SPEAKER_00
If you ve never played badminton, what are you doing?
1
SPEAKER_00
You have a racket and you have this little thing called a birdie that s this ball with a
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like a ball that has feathers coming out of it almost.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it s very lightweight and you just hit it back and forth.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it s so much fun.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s easy.
1
SPEAKER_00
There s barely any learning curve.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like you can be good at badminton almost immediately.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s not like tennis where there s all this technique.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, I even think pickleball probably requires some technique.
1
SPEAKER_00
Badminton doesn t require a lot of technique.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can be good at it in an hour.
1
SPEAKER_00
You could figure it out.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think that that s good when it comes to little activities, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
A lot of us have jobs, have shit that we have to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
We don t have time to learn how to play tennis, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
Something like badminton inspires us to go outside and play like kids again, and my God, do we need that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, we need that.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right, number six, letting your hair grow out.
1
SPEAKER_00
2023, everyone was cutting their hair.
1
SPEAKER_00
Everybody was getting a haircut.
1
SPEAKER_00
Everyone was cutting their hair short, dyeing it various colors.
1
SPEAKER_00
2024, we re healing our hair.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re going back to our natural color.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re growing it out long just to see what it feels like again, because my God, haven t we all forgot?
1
SPEAKER_00
Natural hair is back.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s in.
1
SPEAKER_00
It wasn t in for a while there.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was all about doing something eye-catching with the hair.
1
SPEAKER_00
I did a blonde bob for a while.
1
SPEAKER_00
I did an orange bob for a while.
1
SPEAKER_00
I had a super dark brown shag, which was not an intentional haircut.
1
SPEAKER_00
That was kind of an accidental haircut, but regardless, I did that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now I m ready to grow my hair out, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
I m ready to just be natural again.
1
SPEAKER_00
My hair was so damaged, and it was so short, and yeah, you know, having long, natural hair is maybe less fashion forward.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t give a fuck.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m going back to all natural, okay, with the hair.
1
SPEAKER_00
This might not be in for everyone, but I m telling you it s in for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think it ll be in for a lot of us, not for all of us, but there s been so many damaging hair trends over the last few years that I think everyone s ready to just go back to natural hair.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number seven, fresh herbs.
1
SPEAKER_00
Hear me out, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
Imagine this, you cook yourself a little pasta, nothing special.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, you boil some pasta, mix it up with some pesto from the grocery store with some tomato sauce from the grocery store pre-made, add a little sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, that s good.
1
SPEAKER_00
But imagine you go and grab a fresh piece of basil, cut that thing up and sprinkle it on top.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow, that s a whole new dish.
1
SPEAKER_00
That is a whole new dish.
1
SPEAKER_00
Imagine you re roasting some potatoes and you throw in some fresh rosemary.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow, that s a whole new dish.
1
SPEAKER_00
Potatoes without rosemary.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, that s pretty good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Potatoes with rosemary, fresh.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow, that s good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Imagine you re making a salad dressing, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
And you re like, wow, this is kind of, it s lacking something.
1
SPEAKER_00
You add a little fresh dill.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow, that s good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow, that s good.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re making a bagel with the works, you know, the cream cheese, the lox, the capers, whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
Throw some dill on there.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow, that s good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fresh herbs.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now listen, buying fresh herbs is so frustrating.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, going to the store and buying a little box of fresh herbs, annoying.
1
SPEAKER_00
They die immediately.
1
SPEAKER_00
They wilt immediately.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a nightmare.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can buy a little basil plant, a little dill plant, a little mint plant, a little rosemary plant, and have your own little herb garden for cheap.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it keeps growing more and more.
1
SPEAKER_00
Listen, the plants will die.
1
SPEAKER_00
The plants will ultimately die.
1
SPEAKER_00
I will tell you that.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s not completely foolproof, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t tell you how many basil plants I ve had die on me, but it doesn t even matter because it s fun.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s this amazing thing, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
To be growing a plant is so special.
1
SPEAKER_00
It feels so special.
1
SPEAKER_00
You feel maternal in a way.
1
SPEAKER_00
You feel nurturing.
1
SPEAKER_00
You feel responsible.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re keeping this thing alive, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
You have to do a little bit of research to figure out how to keep the thing alive, and that s satisfying.
1
SPEAKER_00
To research something and then to execute, wow, that s satisfying.
1
SPEAKER_00
but you really get to reap the rewards when you make a little pasta dish and you throw a little bit of fresh basil on that thing, or you make a little pizza in the oven.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, it s pizza night.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s at home pizza night.
1
SPEAKER_00
You throw a little basil on top.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow, that s delicious.
1
SPEAKER_00
You make a little fresh mint tea.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh God, that s amazing.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re making little spring rolls, you throw some basil and some mint in there, and some cilantro, maybe you throw some cilantro in there, wow, that s amazing.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re making a bagel with the works, you re able to throw some dill on top, wow, that s amazing.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re making some potatoes, wow, throwing in some rosemary, all from my garden, wow, that s amazing.
1
SPEAKER_00
You don t need to have a big garden, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
It s gardening for the average person, and it s satisfying in all ways.

SPEAKER_00
It s unrealistic for all of us to start a garden, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a small little garden in my backyard, and let me tell you, it s a mess.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a mess.
1
SPEAKER_00
Everything s dead.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s too much work.
1
SPEAKER_00
And not only that, but it doesn t produce enough produce for it to be worth it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a strawberry plant and a tomato plant, and I m not getting a lot out of it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I get maybe 20 strawberries in total in the summer, which is a quantity of strawberries that I would normally eat in about 45 seconds.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then I might get 50 cherry tomatoes during the summer, but I end up getting to a lot of them too late.
2
SPEAKER_01
They re not all done at the same time.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_01
I ve had a hard time with my garden, except for with the herbs.
2
SPEAKER_01
The herbs, they re thriving, and I always have enough.
2
SPEAKER_01
Number eight, random weekend road trip.
2
SPEAKER_01
We need to be going on random little weekend road trips more often.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m not kidding.
2
SPEAKER_01
Otherwise, we find ourselves in a slump.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s so important to change up the scenery every once in a while.
2
SPEAKER_01
Now, when I say a little weekend road trip, I m not saying you need to rent an Airbnb and have this extravagant road trip.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, it can be as simple as,
2
SPEAKER_01
driving to a friend that lives five hours away and staying at their house for the weekend.
2
SPEAKER_01
It could be driving home and visiting your family for the weekend if you live a few hours away from your family.
2
SPEAKER_01
It could be a little camping trip.
2
SPEAKER_01
Like it doesn t need to be extravagant.
2
SPEAKER_01
It doesn t need to be fancy.
2
SPEAKER_01
But there s something about a little weekend road trip that will get your ass back on track.
2
SPEAKER_01
I get back from a little weekend road trip feeling like a brand new person.
2
SPEAKER_01
There s something about splitting up two work weeks with a little change in scenery that gets me back.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it can be random, it can be spontaneous.
2
SPEAKER_01
Actually, I d argue it s even better when it s random and it s spontaneous.
2
SPEAKER_01
Call your friends, say, hey, let s go camping.
2
SPEAKER_01
Fuck it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Let s go backpacking.
2
SPEAKER_01
Fuck it.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_01
Calling your mom and saying, I m driving home this weekend.
2
SPEAKER_01
Random weekend road trip every once in a while.
2
SPEAKER_01
in.
2
SPEAKER_01
And I think what s especially in about it is that it doesn t need to be extravagant.
2
SPEAKER_01
I think a lot of people feel intimidated by the idea of like taking a little weekend trip because they re like, oh, we have, you know, I have to fly somewhere and I have to get an Airbnb or I have to get a hotel, you know, and then not necessarily.
2
SPEAKER_01
Not necessarily.
2
SPEAKER_01
Think outside the box a little bit.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s what I m going to do.
2
SPEAKER_01
Okay, number nine, being silly and funny in business settings.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m so sick of the business facade that everyone puts on.
2
SPEAKER_01
You know what I m talking about.
2
SPEAKER_01
I understand being professional and being respectful and being somewhat elevated for that environment, but I feel like the norm right now is too sterile and too boring.
2
SPEAKER_01
Like, there s no room to burp during a meeting.
2
SPEAKER_01
There s no room to make a little silly joke during a meeting.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m sick of this.
2
SPEAKER_01
I ve been trying to disrupt the stiff business setting ever since I joined the business setting.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m in a meeting.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m going to make a joke.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m going to make a joke.
2
SPEAKER_01
Sorry.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s so stale.
2
SPEAKER_01
Otherwise, someone has to do it.
2
SPEAKER_01
And you know what I ve noticed too?
2
SPEAKER_01
The second that somebody makes a joke in a business setting, everyone becomes disarmed and the environment becomes so much more productive.
2
SPEAKER_01
At the end of the day, what is everyone doing in a business setting?
2
SPEAKER_01
They re trying to make money.
2
SPEAKER_01
They re trying to succeed in some way.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s so much easier to work together and succeed when everybody feels disarmed.
2
SPEAKER_01
Everybody feels comfortable.
2
SPEAKER_01
Nothing does that better than a little bit of humor.
2
SPEAKER_01
I really believe that the business facade is out.
2
SPEAKER_01
Being silly in business settings is in.
2
SPEAKER_01
Stop with the, how was your New Year s?
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, it was good.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, that s amazing.
2
SPEAKER_00
Mine was good, too.
2
SPEAKER_00
I was in Sedona, Arizona with my family, and my granddaughter just got into college, and she s very excited.
2
SPEAKER_01
Shut the fuck up and make a joke or something.
2
SPEAKER_01
Like, make a joke already.
2
SPEAKER_01
Do something funny.
2
SPEAKER_01
This is why I should... I m only partly kidding.
2
SPEAKER_01
Number 10, re-wearing outfits.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
The whole always having a new outfit on social media, always having a new outfit for every event is out.
2
SPEAKER_01
That is out.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s not a sustainable way to live your life.
2
SPEAKER_01
We all have shit to do.
2
SPEAKER_01
We re not all equipped to have a new outfit for every event, every wedding, every
2
SPEAKER_01
meeting, every date, you know, every night out.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s unrealistic.
2
SPEAKER_01
And listen, some people do it.
2
SPEAKER_01
They always have a new outfit ready to rumble.
2
SPEAKER_01
And you know, if you re somebody who really enjoys always wearing a new outfit every single time you leave the house, listen, don t let me stop you.
2
SPEAKER_01
But I think from a societal standpoint, it s out.
2
SPEAKER_01
Outfit re-wearing is in.
2
SPEAKER_01
I made this decision recently that I want to buy the perfect dress, okay?
2
SPEAKER_01
The perfect dress that s understated, simple, and gorgeous, and I want to wear it to every single wedding I get invited to for the rest of my life.
2
SPEAKER_01
I only want to wear one dress to other people s weddings for the rest of my life.
2
SPEAKER_01
For my wedding, fuck it, I might wear that one too.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t even care.
2
SPEAKER_01
There are certain things that come with the societal pressure of having a new outfit every time.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m sick of it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Weddings?
2
SPEAKER_01
No.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m re-wearing the dress.
2
SPEAKER_01
Going out to dinner?
2
SPEAKER_01
I ll wear the same outfit twice, two nights in a row, if I m seeing a different group of people.
2
SPEAKER_01
Let s say one night I m going out with my friends, and then the next night I m going out with a boy.
2
SPEAKER_01
The boy wasn t there the night before, and my friends aren t there.
2
SPEAKER_01
You know what I mean?
2
SPEAKER_01
And also, they wouldn t care anyway, but you get the idea.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m wearing the same outfit twice.
2
SPEAKER_01
There s such a weird stigma around outfit repeating.
2
SPEAKER_01
We re done.
2
SPEAKER_01
Outfit repeating is cool now.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s hot and it s in 2024.
2
SPEAKER_01
11, asking for extra sauce on the side.
2
SPEAKER_01
I can t tell you how often I purchase food from an establishment and it comes with some sort of sauce or dressing.
2
SPEAKER_01
and it s simply not enough.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s just not enough.
2
SPEAKER_01
For example, whenever I get a salad, I always ask for an extra side of dressing because a lot of times it ll be underdressed.
2
SPEAKER_01
Now, sometimes it s perfectly dressed and that s great.
2
SPEAKER_01
I d argue three out of five times, not enough sauce.
2
SPEAKER_01
I love sauce.
2
SPEAKER_01
My favorite part about the salad is the dressing.
2
SPEAKER_01
What does the dressing taste like?
2
SPEAKER_01
My favorite part about ordering a french fry is what sauce I get to dip it in.
2
SPEAKER_01
Is it a Dijon aioli?
2
SPEAKER_01
Is it a spicy aioli?
2
SPEAKER_01
What is it?
2
SPEAKER_01
What s it going to be today?
2
SPEAKER_01
It s my favorite part.
2
SPEAKER_01
When I get a bowl at a restaurant, some sort of vegetarian bowl,
2
SPEAKER_01
Whatever sauce they put on it is the highlight for me.
2
SPEAKER_01
And when there s not enough sauce, I m bummed.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m bummed and my food is dry.
2
SPEAKER_01
I like a lot of sauce.
2
SPEAKER_01
And I think a lot of us do.
2
SPEAKER_01
So you want to know what s in for 2024?
2
SPEAKER_01
Asking for another side of sauce right out the gate.
2
SPEAKER_01
Now, some of you might be saying, Emma, that s wasteful.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s wasteful.
2
SPEAKER_01
Not necessarily.
2
SPEAKER_01
I could always ask for the sauce to go and then eat it with something the next day.
2
SPEAKER_01
Do you see what I m saying?
2
SPEAKER_01
I ll make that sauce.
2
SPEAKER_01
Hey, I ll put that sauce to work.
2
SPEAKER_01
Don t worry about that part.
2
SPEAKER_01
I ll put it to work.
2
SPEAKER_01
It won t be wasted.
2
SPEAKER_01
If you knew that every extra side of sauce that you ordered would be utilized, would you order it?
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, and a lot of times they don t even charge you for it.
2
SPEAKER_01
They ll just bring it.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s in.
2
SPEAKER_01
Fuck it, it s in.
2
SPEAKER_01
Number 12, getting a random massage every once in a while.
2
SPEAKER_01
I thoroughly believe that we all need a massage.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m not kidding.
2
SPEAKER_01
You, me, everyone.
2
SPEAKER_01
Everyone needs a massage at all times.
2
SPEAKER_01
It doesn t matter what your job is, how often you exercise, because obviously, if you exercise, you get tight, sore muscles, and you need a massage even more.
2
SPEAKER_01
But it doesn t matter who you are or what your lifestyle is like.
2
SPEAKER_01
Everyone needs a massage for one reason or another.
2
SPEAKER_01
If you sit a lot at your job, your lower back s hurting.
2
SPEAKER_01
If you exercise a lot, you have muscle soreness.
2
SPEAKER_01
If you stand on your feet a lot for your job, you need a foot massage and a back massage.
2
SPEAKER_01
You see what I m saying?
2
SPEAKER_01
Everyone needs a massage and you can find some really great spots.
2
SPEAKER_01
Like every town has a massage place.
2
SPEAKER_01
I ve popped into some random places for a massage before and I ve almost never been disappointed.
2
SPEAKER_01
Actually, I was disappointed one time when I went to this massage chain.
2
SPEAKER_01
It was like a chain type of place.
2
SPEAKER_01
I won t say who it is because I m about to give them a bad review and I don t think that this is a reflection of their business.
2
SPEAKER_01
I went in to get a massage and I booked it super last minute because I had the epiphany, I need a massage.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it was probably like the second massage I got that year.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t get massages enough.
2
SPEAKER_01
I need to get them more.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s why I think that they re going to be in this year.
2
SPEAKER_01
Not only for me though, for all of us.
2
SPEAKER_01
I think we all need to be getting more massages this year.
2
SPEAKER_01
I had this sort of intrusive thought.
2
SPEAKER_01
I was like, I need a massage right now.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I called a few places and nobody had any availability except for this one massage chain.
2
SPEAKER_01
And they had a slot open.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I was like, great, I ll take it.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I show up and the masseuse is a dude.
2
SPEAKER_01
And I was like, Annie s like,
3
SPEAKER_00
kind of close to my age.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, okay, like, it s just awkward.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you know, we re all adults, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
But it was a little awkward.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m like, you re literally 25, maybe.
3
SPEAKER_00
And you re about to massage my gluteus.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s not my idea of a relaxing Thursday evening.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
3
SPEAKER_00
Now it s weird a little bit.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I can t help but wonder, like, are you into this a little bit?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, sorry, but you know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
You can t help but wonder that, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
To make a long story short, he ended up talking to me about his Subaru that he s fixing up himself.
3
SPEAKER_00
and his ex-girlfriend the whole time.
3
SPEAKER_00
I wanted a relaxing massage.
3
SPEAKER_00
I wanted to close my eyes and go to sleep.
3
SPEAKER_00
No, he was not having that.
3
SPEAKER_00
He needed to tell me about his Subaru, and he needed to tell me about his ex-girlfriend, and he needed to tell me that I m much nicer than his ex-girlfriend.
3
SPEAKER_00
He did make sure to let me know that.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that was a nice compliment, but I had a horrible time.
3
SPEAKER_00
I still tipped well, but I really was upset.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I shouldn t.
3
SPEAKER_00
No, it s fine.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, so that was the only bad massage experience I ve had.
3
SPEAKER_00
Other than that, it s been amazing.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like every hole in the wall you find, random massage, it s probably gonna be good.
3
SPEAKER_00
But before you confirm, just ask if the masseuse is 25 and has a Subaru.
3
SPEAKER_00
And if the answer s yes, then say, do you have another massage therapist, please?
3
SPEAKER_00
13.
3
SPEAKER_00
Politely speaking up.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s so in.
3
SPEAKER_00
So many of us don t speak up enough.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ll give you an example.
3
SPEAKER_00
We re at a restaurant.
3
SPEAKER_00
They bring out the wrong thing.
3
SPEAKER_00
We get nervous.
3
SPEAKER_00
We don t want to speak up.
3
SPEAKER_00
We don t want to send it back.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s out.
3
SPEAKER_00
2024, we re speaking up.
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
Another example.
3
SPEAKER_00
This just happened to me the other day, and actually I didn t speak up.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I should have.
3
SPEAKER_00
And for the rest of 2024, I m going to speak up.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was getting my nails done at the salon and I wanted to get a dark brown, almost like a dark roast coffee bean.
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like very dark, almost black, dark brown nail.
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I picked out what I thought was that.
3
SPEAKER_00
It was not, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
It turned out to be more of a milk chocolate color.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like imagine, my nails right now look like chocolate almonds.
3
SPEAKER_00
They look delicious, but this is not the color that I wanted.
3
SPEAKER_00
She painted a swatch of it on my finger and showed it to me and she s like, what do you think?
3
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, fuck, I hate it.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I didn t speak up for some reason.
3
SPEAKER_00
And now I regret it and my nails look horrible.
3
SPEAKER_00
I hate this color.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s not what I wanted.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I didn t speak up.
3
SPEAKER_00
Uh-uh.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s done.
3
SPEAKER_00
2024, we re speaking up.
3
SPEAKER_00
Somebody says something rude to you, speak up.
3
SPEAKER_00
Politely, though.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s all about the delivery.
3
SPEAKER_00
Just be polite.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s nothing to be afraid of as long as you re being polite.
3
SPEAKER_00
Nobody can get mad at you if you politely speak up.
3
SPEAKER_00
14.
3
SPEAKER_00
Hanging out at a cafe for like three hours.
3
SPEAKER_00
I miss this vibe and I think it s so in.
3
SPEAKER_00
I need more of this vibe and I think it s going to be in.
3
SPEAKER_00
Bringing a book, bringing a journal, bringing some work to a coffee shop, sitting and hanging out for like three hours.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe some friends that you know pop by, they sit with you for a little while.
3
SPEAKER_00
vice versa.
3
SPEAKER_00
We need more of that.
3
SPEAKER_00
More community happening.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s something so inspiring about getting out of your house and going and hanging out at a cafe for like three hours.
3
SPEAKER_00
It makes you want to work harder.
3
SPEAKER_00
It can sometimes be distracting, I will say.
3
SPEAKER_00
It can sometimes be distracting, but it can also sometimes get you to focus because like you have more distractions in some ways and then you have less distractions in some ways.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I used to work in a cafe every single day.
3
SPEAKER_00
I d drive 15 minutes from my hometown to go to this little cafe every day and I d edit my YouTube videos and I would do emails even though I was like 16 and didn t even know how to read an email.
3
SPEAKER_00
But like I was doing it though or I was trying and it was kind of amazing.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, I started to become friends with the baristas at the coffee shop.
3
SPEAKER_00
I started to see other regulars there on a consistent basis, and I sort of became friendly with them.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think we re lacking that in-person community element of life, and we need that back.
3
SPEAKER_00
We need that back now more than ever.
3
SPEAKER_00
2024, it s in.
3
SPEAKER_00
15, having a sweet treat after dinner.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve never been somebody who wanted dessert after dinner until recently.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s so in, it s so in to have a sweet treat after dinner.
3
SPEAKER_00
A sweet treat after dinner?
3
SPEAKER_00
Mm-mm.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know how I ever lived without it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it s so in.
3
SPEAKER_00
16, becoming friends with somebody before you date them.
3
SPEAKER_00
Ooh, that s in.
3
SPEAKER_00
You wanna know why that s in?
3
SPEAKER_00
Because I think that is one of the most promising things you can do to build a long-term relationship.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you want shit to last, that foundation of friendship has got to be there.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I think this whole immediate romance is out.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think that s out.
3
SPEAKER_00
Some people might disagree with me, and that s totally fine.
3
SPEAKER_00
But being friends first, it s amazing in every way.
3
SPEAKER_00
My dad has always told me this.
3
SPEAKER_00
He s like, Emma, you need to be friends with these boys before you date them.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I ve always been like, okay, thank you.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then gone and like immediately like met them and then like kiss them the same day.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
It s terrible.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s horrible because it never works out.
3
SPEAKER_00
It never works out because it just never works out for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
3
SPEAKER_00
It might work for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I know it doesn t work for a lot of other people too.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s so much better to build that foundation of friendship and then add in the romantic element.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s very hard to backtrack and build the friendship after you ve already gone romantic mode.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know why, it s just very challenging.
3
SPEAKER_00
And it s possible, but it s very challenging.
3
SPEAKER_00
What I think is good about being friends first is that you get to fully suss them out.
3
SPEAKER_00
Do I get along with this person?
3
SPEAKER_00
Do I click with this person?
3
SPEAKER_00
Do I actually enjoy spending time with them?
3
SPEAKER_00
And you re not biased based on your sexual chemistry.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like let s say you like hook up with somebody immediately,
3
SPEAKER_00
and you guys have a good sexual chemistry, great, that s half the battle, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
But then you actually don t get along on a friendship level very well, but you are able to sort of ignore that red flag by covering it up with sex, you know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
Becoming friends before you date somebody, that s in.
3
SPEAKER_00
17, maroon nail polish.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m not kidding.
3
SPEAKER_00
Dark red, fingers and toes.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m obsessed.
3
SPEAKER_00
And you know, I ve been obsessed for years, but I ve never been like, oh, that s my signature color on my nails.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m in.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m locked in on maroon nail polish.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s so hot and cool.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I think that it falls under the category of the red nail effect.
3
SPEAKER_00
You might have heard of the red nail effect, which is that red nails help to attract a lover.
3
SPEAKER_00
Whether that s true or not, I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I do feel the hottest when I have a red nail.
3
SPEAKER_00
I do.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s like baddie mode for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
But bright red doesn t always, it s not always what I want, you know, like a bright apple red.
3
SPEAKER_00
The dark maroon has that same hot, fun appeal that the bright red has, but it s more neutral, so you can pair it with more stuff.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it s my new default color.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m obsessed with it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love the maroon now.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m sold.
3
SPEAKER_00
And right now, oh, my nails.
3
SPEAKER_00
I hate my nails right now.
3
SPEAKER_00
I need to go back in and get the maroon, to be honest, because that s just what Emma likes now.
3
SPEAKER_00
18, onion rings.
3
SPEAKER_00
Don t get me wrong, I love ordering a french fry for the table when I m at a restaurant.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love a french fry period.
3
SPEAKER_00
French fries are delicious, they re amazing.

SPEAKER_00
But I recently ordered an onion ring instead and I said, hold on a minute, this is even better.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s so much more of a dynamic experience.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s fun because it s in a ring.
3
SPEAKER_00
You have to rip it in half, dip it into the sauce.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s crispy.
3
SPEAKER_00
The onion inside is sweet.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s delicious.
3
SPEAKER_00
Onion rings are absolutely delectable.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I have been just sleeping on the onion rings for years because I m like, a fry is so much better.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s classic.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it is classic.
3
SPEAKER_00
And yeah, it s harder to fuck up a French fry.
3
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes an onion ring will get fucked up, but there s always a French fry on the menu.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s almost never an onion ring on the menu.
3
SPEAKER_00
When I see an onion ring on the menu, I say, I m getting that.
3
SPEAKER_00
No one is talking about onion rings at all.
3
SPEAKER_00
I haven t heard somebody talk about an onion ring in years.
3
SPEAKER_00
When was the last time you heard someone talk about an onion ring?
3
SPEAKER_00
And when was the last time you thought about an onion ring?
3
SPEAKER_00
It s been too long.
3
SPEAKER_00
You see what I m saying?
3
SPEAKER_00
They re in.
3
SPEAKER_00
2024, onion rings are in.
3
SPEAKER_00
Tater tots too, but those are even more rare to see on a menu.
3
SPEAKER_00
Onion rings are in.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh man, so good.
3
SPEAKER_00
So freaking good.
3
SPEAKER_00
On the topic of food, number 19, feta cheese.
3
SPEAKER_00
Feta cheese is in.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was all about Parmesan cheese for the last few years, obsessed with Parmesan cheese, wanted Parmesan cheese on everything.
3
SPEAKER_00
My love for Parmesan is still present
4
SPEAKER_00
but feta cheese might be even better.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t want to say anything controversial right now, but I do think that feta cheese is the cheese of 2024.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s something about feta cheese that feels so 2024 to me.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s tangy.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s delicious.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s fun.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s versatile.
4
SPEAKER_00
You can throw it on a salad.
4
SPEAKER_00
You can turn it into like a feta dip.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, feta cheese is in.
4
SPEAKER_00
20, laser hair removal.
4
SPEAKER_00
Now before you say, Emma, what the fuck are you talking about?
4
SPEAKER_00
Not everyone needs laser hair removal.
4
SPEAKER_00
I know.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about me.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, this one is very catered to me.
4
SPEAKER_00
Not everybody needs, wants, or can get laser hair removal.
4
SPEAKER_00
I know this, but for me, laser hair removal is in.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m so done with shaving.
4
SPEAKER_00
I can t shave anymore.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m so done doing it.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s such a process.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m sick and tired.
4
SPEAKER_00
I started getting laser last year at this time and I went for like five sessions and it just wasn t
4
SPEAKER_00
working, like it was working, but I don t think, I don t know, I don t feel like they were going hard enough because the laser never hurt and everybody s like, oh, am I laser supposed to hurt?
4
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, really?
4
SPEAKER_00
Because it never has hurt.
4
SPEAKER_00
It didn t really work.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I m trying it again this year and I m ready to be hairless.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s my preference.
4
SPEAKER_00
I just,
4
SPEAKER_00
Hair is itchy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m stoked.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m stoked to get laser hair removal.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I think laser hair removal is in.
4
SPEAKER_00
It makes life so much more convenient.
4
SPEAKER_00
For those of us who shave, my God, does it make life so much more convenient.
4
SPEAKER_00
Twenty-one, going on a walk after dinner.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love going on a walk after dinner.
4
SPEAKER_00
Whether I went out to dinner or I ate dinner at home, a little 20-minute walk after dinner helps you digest, gives you a little breath of fresh air after dinner.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s nothing better.
4
SPEAKER_00
When I was home for the holidays, every day after dinner, my dad and I would go on a really long walk and I realized this needs to be a part of my routine as often as possible.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s something about eating dinner that makes you overheat.
4
SPEAKER_00
I always get really hot when I m eating and I get full and my stomach hurts.
4
SPEAKER_00
Going for a walk helps ease the stomach pain, helps cool me off.
4
SPEAKER_00
Everything about it is perfect.
4
SPEAKER_00
walking after dinner is in.
4
SPEAKER_00
22, orange light bulbs in lamps around the house.
4
SPEAKER_00
I need more orange light bulbs.
4
SPEAKER_00
I have a few.
4
SPEAKER_00
And let me tell you, they just give off the warmest, most delicious light into my house.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, it s like, it changes the whole energy of the house.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
Turning on orange lights, soft warm orange lights, as the sun goes down, you feel like you re in a cozy fairy house.
4
SPEAKER_00
A cozy little mushroom fairy house.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s something so cozy about it.
4
SPEAKER_00
The coziness is unmatched.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t like super fluorescent, bright, white light bulbs.
4
SPEAKER_00
Makes me anxious, overwhelms my eyes, doesn t feel cozy, feels too sterile.
4
SPEAKER_00
Orange, warm, cozy lighting, that s in for 2024.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number 23, ambient music.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s just in.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, turning on relaxed, instrumental, ambient music while you re doing your chores, while you re working, while you re reading a book, changes the whole energy of everything.
4
SPEAKER_00
You feel like you re the main character in a movie while you re reading your email.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
4
SPEAKER_00
You feel like every movement has purpose when you re putting your dishes away.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
4
SPEAKER_00
There s something about playing relaxing ambient music.
4
SPEAKER_00
I have a playlist on Spotify called I m Thinking, period.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s what it s called.
4
SPEAKER_00
And it has music in this category.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I listen to this music all day.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I love it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Sets such a chill mood.
4
SPEAKER_00
And it s better than silence.
4
SPEAKER_00
But it s mild enough that it might as well be silence.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s not distracting.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s perfect.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, I feel like it subconsciously changes my mood, makes me feel a bit more lively, a bit more tuned in.
4
SPEAKER_00
Do you know what I mean?
4
SPEAKER_00
My Spotify is Emma Chamby if you want to find me and find that playlist called I m Thinking.
4
SPEAKER_00
24, swimming in oceans and lakes.
4
SPEAKER_00
Swimming in natural bodies of water, so in.
4
SPEAKER_00
Last year, I did not swim in enough natural bodies of water.
4
SPEAKER_00
I did a little bit, but this year, I need to go all in.
4
SPEAKER_00
This summer, all summer, every day, I m in a natural body of water somewhere.
4
SPEAKER_00
I will find it.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s nothing like it.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s refreshing.
4
SPEAKER_00
It grounds you to the earth, I swear.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh my God, I sound crazy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I sound like a yoga teacher, but it really grounds you to the earth.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I m not kidding.
4
SPEAKER_00
It grounds you to the earth.
4
SPEAKER_00
It soothes your anxiety in a lot of ways.
4
SPEAKER_00
It just puts things into perspective.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s something about being in a natural body of water that just resets your brain.
4
SPEAKER_00
And it s fun.
4
SPEAKER_00
Splashing around in the ocean, splashing around in a lake, what s more fun than that?
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, doing a little boogie boarding in the ocean,
4
SPEAKER_00
Kayaking around in a lake?
4
SPEAKER_00
Fuck it.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s amazing.
4
SPEAKER_00
More of that.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s in.
4
SPEAKER_00
25, music with good lyrics.
4
SPEAKER_00
Now listen, I don t want to shit on any music because to each their own, but I think I m at a place in my life personally where I need my music to speak to me.
4
SPEAKER_00
If it s speaking, then I need it to speak to me and I need it to be smart.
4
SPEAKER_00
I need it to almost be smarter than me.
4
SPEAKER_00
I want to read the lyrics and be like, wait, I don t get it.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then I have to like read, read a little harder.
4
SPEAKER_00
Or I want to read the lyrics and be like, wow, that s exactly how I think of that.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s crazy.
4
SPEAKER_00
It read my mind.
4
SPEAKER_00
You see what I m saying?
4
SPEAKER_00
I m all about good lyrics.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think good lyrics are in.
4
SPEAKER_00
Smart, poetic, good lyrics are in for music 2024.
4
SPEAKER_00
Sort of cheap, lazy lyrics.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s kind of out for me.
4
SPEAKER_00
Now listen, I m not saying simple lyrics are bad, but there s a difference between simple and lazy.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I m done with lazy lyrics, where it s like, come on.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
