Breakaway movement first began as a daydream. A visualization of a community of people coming together to achieve abundance in all aspects of their reality. One of my favorite ways to use this machine is obviously for drinking water. One of the most amazing things about cangon water is that if you can see it, it's pretty cloudy. Despite my flaws, despite my imperfections, despite my whims, you have carried me so far. Thank you for trusting my heart. We are all above Asia. Most of us cannot afford to be this delusional. Friends, it's Madison Harnish back in my blue kitchen for another crazy video.  So don't forget to subscribe and give this video a thumbs up. Now today we are diving into the MLM, the Colt. I don't really know what this is, but some crazy stuff is going on with the breakaway movement. I received a few messages on the breakaway movement. I had no idea what it was. People were like, hey, you should probably check this out. So I was like, okay, yeah, let me look into it. And boy, this stuff is weird. It gets crazy. The breakaway movement is literally like a modern day colt fueled by social media. So let's dive in to the breakaway movement. Get it. Dive in because a lot of their photos have water. So we're diving in. Yeah. Anyways, that was cheesy. So the weirdest part about the breakaway movement is how vague everything is. It's so hard to actually get to the bottom of what the breakaway movement is, what they're selling, how to join all of that. So let's first start off on the breakaway website and watch their video. And maybe it'll give us some clarity into what's going on here.  It's literally just hands in water. And it says your arrival to abundance. Still doesn't explain anything, but okay, let's check that out. Like the air you breathe, abundance in all things is available to you. Love when it starts off with like some sort of inspirational quote. If you've ever seen the video you or you by Cody Coe when he covers that video, it feels like what they were trying to do is this video. But their video fell like so, so far short from this video. You were buying celery. You were buying rosé. Like I think in feelings. Like I don't think thoughts, I just feel, I just feel things. You feel things so hard. I don't think anything ever. My brain is just like... Maybe that's why you can manifest things so fast. Yeah, I mean the cinematics are beautiful. I'll give them that. But let's watch and see if the video actually has any substantial information about the breakaway movement. As you allow it to be. Breakaway movement first began as a daydream. A visualization of a community of people coming together to achieve abundance in all aspects. Abundance in all aspects of their reality. Like is this English? What does this even mean? I feel like videos like these are always just so fake woke. They literally just throw in words like abundance, well-being, health, wellness, visualize, cultivate, spiritual awakening, transcending, nature, natural earth. Just into a jumbled sentence with b-roll of attractive people on a random island. And all of a sudden it's supposed to inspire and move all of us to buy whatever it is they're selling. All you have to do is throw in all those elements and boom. You have a social media cult of your own. I'll show you how easy it is to make this kind of verbal nonsense. I'll just like throw in something about cruel world happy mind and this channel and you'll see how easy it is to create these kinds of videos. This channel is a channel for the dreamers. The people who can visualize spiritual abundance. Cultivate absolute harmony and transcend the material earth. So basically what I'm trying to say is if you subscribe to this channel you're better than everyone else because you pretend to relate to and understand what it is I'm saying right now. And ding ding ding, you've heard it here folks. Financial abundance. The granola travel influencer version of financial freedom. So what does financial abundance mean? It means we're about to get roped in to a pyramid scheme. To live out every dream and desire they could ever think of or imagine and allow themselves to be immersed in a community of thought leaders. Thought leaders. What does thought leaders mean? Sorry for the constant pauses but I just have to point out their choice of words here. To be a thought leader you're leading someone's thoughts. That kind of sounds like just another way of saying that you're telling someone what to think. We're here to support and mentor them every step along their journey. Breakaway movement is more than a training platform. Breakaway movement is a shift in your online paradigm. A complete transformation in your personal development journey. So you mean it's a cult? Breakaway is death into a life you once only dreamed of.  Notice how there's not one person of color in this entire video. It's all white people and they all look way too happy. Like this is not realistic. It's like a weird combination of a mid-summer cult and then like the Arbonne white party mixed together. Also let me just know that video said absolutely nothing about what this breakaway movement actually is and like what you're doing. It said none of that. It was just random inspirational words with a cool b-roll and that's it. And we're supposed to be like sign me up. What am I signing up for? Okay maybe I'll scroll down a little bit further and find out more about this movement. So there's a section where it says meet some of the family. Literally every photo looks like an Instagram influencer on steroids. And then if you click view more team members and it takes you to the team member page it's literally 100% white people. To me it's not inspiring. It's just creepy. Then you scroll down further. And maybe here's where they actually explain what's going on. It says abundance in all things. Breakaway movement is an idea. A community and resource. But it's so much more than that. Our community works in unison to achieve abundance in all aspects of reality. Financial, health and well-being. We are an education and mentorship platform. Mentorship. Q-FreeBot video that I did on like the mentorship get rich quick schemes out there.  Immerse yourself in a community of thought leaders. Aka people telling you what to think. Here to support and mentor you every step of the way. Our platform is designed and created by entrepreneurs in order to ensure those who dive in will learn everything they need to run their own successful online business using social media. Like that would actually be really cool if it was just simply a class from a bunch of social media influencers teaching you how to be a social media influencer. But that's not what this is. It's not. So also, it's really shady that in all of this material, they never mentioned once what they're actually doing with breakaway movement. What you're actually taught to do, which we'll get into on the right at the very bottom of the website. It says legal stuff. And I just think that title is so funny too. Oh, this is just a legal stuff. Don't worry about it. You don't even have to look here into this legal stuff. I don't think I've ever seen legal documents and disclaimers on a website written as legal stuff. So I took the time to read all of their legal stuff. And a lot of it is very standard. But the one thing I do have to note that I think is really interesting is if you go on to the affiliate agreement under legal stuff, they claim that they evaluate each applicant and will choose you to join the breakaway movement only if you're the right fit for them. The funniest sentence is if we choose to not allow your inclusion into the affiliate program, they literally use the word inclusion. Only the cool kids can sit with us. Only the cool people and the cool influencers can join the breakaway movement. But when you look at the general appearance of everyone on their team and their team members, you gotta wonder who exactly is it that they're choosing to exclude? So if you go to the website and you click join at the very top of the screen, it'll just take you to a section on the landing page. And it looks like this like email subscription thing, just really basic. So of course I did what any reasonable person would do and I subscribed for Vibes, which is apparently all you have to do to join as you basically subscribe to their email. Except for I was not expecting what I ended up getting. The way that they make it sound so exclusive and so amazing, I thought it was going to be this whole application process. All I had to do is put in my name, my email, my Instagram handle and just type in a random person that I was referred by and you'll never guess what happened after that. The site glitched. It just glitched. And then I got this random email that just said test in the subject. The email system and the signup systems completely broken. It's just so weird going from like this fancy video to just getting a test email when you go to sign up. And then today this morning I actually got an email and they say hi Madison just wanted to reach out to say hello and how stoked I am that you've shown interest in the breakaway movement. What's going on in your life now that has you interested in working online and that's all you get for joining. Honestly, I was very underwhelmed by that whole process very underwhelmed. So with that signup process, I can already feel the abundance pouring into my life. That sounded weird. So I found a Reddit post on the breakaway movement and a commenter talked about how the Instagram salt, sand and smoothies started this page, which that Instagram handle explains it all. So let me read that Reddit post that we can actually get a look into what's going on with the breakaway movement behind the scenes that they seem to be trying to keep very hidden. I looked at the master list and did not see breakaway movement listed as an MLM. But I have heard that my cousin has spent several thousand with this company so she can make six figures and work anywhere through social media. This website itself looks vague with a bunch of love attraction talk and people eating coconuts on the beach. Agreed. You can't really tell what it is without giving them your info, but it looks like entrepreneurial training classes. My cousin is already posting on social media, so I expect a pitch from her soon. Anyone have the info? Thanks in advance. And then a Reddit commenter commented on that post saying, So funny story about this. I followed the Instagram influencer that started breakaway movement at Salt, Sand and Smoothies. She was part of a Kangen MLM, which is a water filtration MLM. Yes, an MLM for water filters. And I think she realized she could make more money starting her own division of the Kangen MLM. Breakaway movement still ultimately ties back to an enagic, enagmic to that company that sells the Kangen water filters. It's like this weird tier where this Instagrammer created an influencer MLM under the Kangen water filter MLM. And yet they're trying to market it as if it's this revolutionary, amazing, transformative experience where you're learning how to be an Instagrammer, yet they're just like a wing under an MLM pyramid scheme. She claims that she left her first one because it was getting unethical, and this is her ethical version. Not sure if an ethical MLM is possible. I followed her because I liked all of her lifestyle posts, but now she's leveraging those to sell the breakaway movement, making it seem like some entrepreneurial lifestyle mastermind group when really it's an MLM. I think they intentionally leave the website vague, so it's not obvious at first, which is a huge red flag, and I totally agree. They keep it vague to rope you in, make you think you're going to learn how to be an influencer, make you think that you're going to learn about business and how to be an entrepreneur on Instagram, when in reality they're roping you into their MLM scheme just to get you to sell water filters. Water filters. Can we know how lame that actually is? So let's go on to Salt Sand and Smoothies Instagram page. Hey, Instagram. Okay, you guys are hearing it first. Today, I officially launched my brand new online business called the Breakaway Movement, and I am so stoked to be able to finally share it with you guys today. Essentially, what Breakaway Movement is, is an online training platform for entrepreneurial people who are really interested in learning how to start and run their own successful online business. If you've ever desired being able to work from your laptop computer, work from home, travel the world, work remotely, have time freedom, location freedom, to be able to do what you please, spend more time with your kids at home or just backpack around the world and still maintain to make money. Breakaway Movement is the website for you right now. So she has 74.7 thousand subscribers and her bio says, artist, daydreamer, creator and founder of the Breakaway Movement. And as you can see, it looks like the ultimate standard Instagram influencer, but she has a website in her bio saying, Amelia Whelan, www.ameliawhelan.com. So I clicked on that and once again, just the ultimate blue water tropical island photo with three options that you can click on. Earn a new source of income online to work with me and three salt sand and smoothies website, which the salt sand and smoothies website is down. So I clicked on earn a new source of income online and I got the ultimate flashback to the free bought websites. It takes you to more blue water backdrops with a website that says, make the most of your time on social media. Learn how to actually create a full time income online from anywhere in the world and heal the planet at the same time. And then it says join free web class. She literally took like the free bought get rich quick online schemes and the MLM schemes and combined them into one. On one hand, I'm like, okay, girl, that's kind of genius. You're like, I'm not going to just do one scam or the other. I'm going to do all of the scams and make it into a cult. Oh, and give it like an influencer spin too. Like you have to commend her creativity, but it's also like at the expense of scamming others. So then on the website it says you were invited by Amelia Whelan. Hey there. So excited to have you here with me and the breakaway family. If you're interested in working alongside me and being mentored by our community, as you start your own successful online business, you're in the right place at the right time. Why go to Bali when you can just scroll through pictures of it on Instagram? I mean half of the people you follow seem to be creating a life they love full of financial abundance. So why not just keep following them and save yourself the trouble? Let's be honest, you know what you want.  You know that it is possible to earn a full-time income online and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with it because the people you follow on social were able to figure it out somehow. That whole idea that the people that you follow that look like they're living the best life that they could possibly live that they actually are is just not true at all. It reminds me of Los Angeles. When I lived in LA, I would meet tons and tons of people who had a Rolex or drove a fancy car or had all the fancy handbags. And yet they were living in like a tiny studio bedroom, living paycheck to paycheck or in thousands of dollars of debt. You have no idea what's going on behind the scenes and most people don't really have stuff figured out, especially the people that go above and beyond to make it look like they do. It's just like another version of the free bots that pretend like they've gotten super rich and super successful. Meanwhile, they're just trying to get rich off of selling their get-rich-quick classes to other people. But something just still isn't adding up for you. No matter how much you meditate, pin new images to your Pinterest vision board or reread the alchemist, you still find yourself trying to figure out the how. Yeah, this website isn't for me. I can't relate to any of that. Here's the thing. It's not your fault. Our education system failed us. We were never taught how to make a living pursuing our passion.  I mean, yeah, the education system has its flaws, but I don't think that the education system should be teaching you how to make cool Instagram photos and join MLM pyramid schemes. We were told that we have to work hard and collect a paycheck now at a job we hate to hopefully one day enjoy life and travel when we retire. But some of us refused to subscribe to that idea and found that there's another way. Yes, you found that there's another way through scamming impressionable young people into joining a pyramid scheme where they give you all of their money. We found that it is possible to be your own boss. Pursue your passion full-time. Unlock competition. Unlock complete time, location and financial freedom. Gotta love that word, financial freedom. I only see the word financial freedom pop up with scams, 100%. If the word financial freedom is used, it's a scam 10 times out of 10, not even nine times out of 10, 10 times out of 10. I've never seen a legitimate opportunity use that word financial freedom. Never. And now we're on a mission to inspire and empower other leaders out there to do the same, which is why we started the breakaway movement. And for a limited time, we are opening the doors with this free web class to show you exactly how our global community of over 1,500 members are refusing the status quo every single day. Free web class. No strings attached. What you will learn during this free web class. How to become a part of a community of 1550 plus members from around the world who mentor, educate and support you. How we use social media and online marketing to earn money online, travel the world, quit our nine to five jobs and spend more time doing what we truly love because we love scamming people. How we earn money sharing a product that each one of us uses in our homes, each and every day, which promotes our health as well as our planets. So that's the one part where they allude to the fact that they are trying to shill an MLM scheme out there. How we earn money sharing a product that each one of us, so every one of these people are selling this product, the Kangan water filter, each one because they said each of us. So this is solely a platform to participate in an MLM scheme, not to learn how to become an entrepreneur or an influencer or financial freedom. This is my favorite part. It says this may not be for you. I'll be honest, if you're just an information gatherer, I'm sorry, what? How is that a bad thing? Who likes the idea of making money and changing the world but isn't serious about it? Then don't even bother watching this. Save yourself the time. But if you know that you are here for more, ready to take action, get out of your comfort zone and use the tools you have at your disposal, then you might just be who we are looking for. If you've made it this far, perhaps you've been guided to right here and right now at the perfect point in your life. It's meant to be, you've been guided here, so join us and put money into this pyramid scheme. Coincidence? Yeah, we don't believe in those either. Time is ticking, let's get to work. And if you click the watch now, you'd think like this free webinar would just pop up and play, right? No, you have to enter your name, enter your best email address and enter your Instagram handle to watch this free web class. But still, even in that website, nowhere does it say anything about the Kangan water machine. This webinar and this free-bought type of scheme of free class on how to reach your dreams is just the beginning of a long phase of indoctrination into the breakaway movement pyramid scheme. It's like a cult. Once you pass that first phase of watching this webinar and giving them your information, then you get an email like I did, asking you why you want to join, you open up, you get personal. Then they suggest a product. It's this long and long phase of very carefully veiled information similar to like Scientology or a cult that just ropes you in and draws you in until you realize what the real reason of this entire thing is, which is just selling water filters, the Kangan water filter, which I'll show a picture of right here. Think of how lame that is. Like actually, that's so lame. After seeing all these cool, flashy, inspiring photos, all those amazing quotes, talking about abundance in life, looking at people living their best life, and then at the end of it all, the sole purpose of all of this is so that you can sell a water filter. That's literally the lamest thing ever. So on Salt, Sand, and Smoothies Instagram, she has like a little highlighted story about the Kangan filter in Bali. So let's see what the Kangan filter is from the lady herself and what she has to say about all of this. Okay, first and foremost, most important, we're going to talk about getting the Kangan machine set up here in Bali and being able to drink from our tap water, which is basically unheard of here in Bali. Okay, welcome to our carport, speeder port, which is a sponsored. It is most certainly not. This costs me an arm and a leg. Okay, so to get those beautiful pre-filters set up out in the carport and also on the roof. And here we have it. So this is my older machine. This is the SD501 Platinum, which got a little dented during this travel. I have my K8 back in Hawaii, but yeah, we have it set up straight to the tap, which is beautiful. And we've got some pre-filters going on behind the fridge. I'll try to show you guys now. Okay, this looks like an actual nightmare. Fortunately, we did not install any of this. The Omega guys came and installed it over the course of like two days. This is the reverse osmosis system. It brings the water into these two holding tanks. Whenever we want to turn Kangan on, we simply just open this guy. And we wait a second because we have really low water pressure at our house, apparently. Yeah, so blessed to have this water straight from the tap in Bali. Do not take it for granted, that is for sure. Okay, last but not least is our shower filtration system. So yeah, we wanted to make sure that the water we shower in is pretty relatively clean, at least not super rich in bacteria. We're constantly getting like reef cuts from surfing and just life being barefoot in Bali and riding scooters and the animals. So we wanted to make sure that the water that we bathe in isn't making us any dirtier than we already are. So I'll show you guys the setup in the bathroom now. Okay, this is our bathroom that we're like just moving into. So it's still looking pretty empty. But the coolest thing is when Omega came and did filtration on the whole house, it included obviously not only the shower water, but also the butt spray water that you use here in Indonesia. So that's pretty dope that we get to spray our bombs with clean water. Here is our beloved Anaspa. It's the DX, so we got the newest model here with the strongest filtration. Flicking the switch, we get to wash our feet or if you had a bathtub essentially, you could fill up a bathtub with that one. Yeah, you don't have to put it up here. You can put it on the floor or on the side of your bath. Cool, so that's that. Hopefully that was somewhat entertaining or insightful for some of you guys. I think all in all, the reverse osmosis system and the pre-filtration and the lab test probably came out to be about $2,000. And that included me giving the installation guys a pretty sweet tip, because they were sweating out here, installing it on the roof and in our kitchen for like two days straight. Definitely a big investment, but for me it was like a no-brainer if I wanted to make Bali work for me. Relatively long-term, I need to have the Kongin machine. I don't feel good if I drink any other water. I notice it immediately in my digestion and my sleep and my energy levels. So I need all the help I can get and that filter does wonders for me. That's a lot of effort for an MLM product. That is the most effort I have ever seen for an MLM product. You would not go through all of this effort unless you were in a pyramid scheme. Let's be real. I mean, if you're into these types of things, I mean, if you're into these types of water filtering systems, you do you. This video isn't about debunking water filters or filtration systems, even though there's definitely a lot to debunk on that. Of course, there can be contaminated water, but most studies show between a Brita filter and this Kongin filtration system, there really is not a big enough difference to justify the price jump, which we'll get into the price of this real soon. But most of all, I want to point out the really odd hypocrisy of all of this. The breakaway movement is selling a water filtration system. In this Instagram highlight story, she mentions this is the only water that tastes good to her. This is the only water that gives her healthy hair. It has like hydrogen plus in it, and that somehow is like beneficial and it's the only water she likes and it's the only water that tastes good. But I have to note, all of the photos and videos and influencers in the breakaway movement are constantly in bodies of water that were not filtered out by this Kangen filter system. Of course, obviously they're not like drinking the ocean, but if you even have to bathe in this Kongin filtered water, then why are you spending most of your time in the ocean? That's kind of super hypocritical, right? I also have to share this video a subscriber sent me of someone defending Kongin. Hey, hope you can hear me. I wanted to hop on and because I haven't been on in a while, it's been a week of low energy and adjustment. Audrey and I have a roommate and it's just been different. So I also have to love how her Instagram handle is Arielle's abundant life. Abundance, abundant life. I'm starting to really dislike the word abundant. So I wanted to talk about the year of investing in yourself. Investing in your health, investing in a course that could help you further your, that could help you further your career and just because someone doesn't want to join a pyramid scheme doesn't mean they're actively working to better themselves and like better their life. Further your passion to ultimately allow you to be a better person. But if you always do what you've always done, you're going to get the same result. Your result won't change. And this is why I joined Breakway Movement and invested in a Kongin machine because I didn't want to work as a nurse or a nine to five until I'm 65 years old. That's what they always say, but it's like, what's so bad about a nine to five? If someone enjoys a nine to five and they're passionate about an industry, that's amazing. I definitely am not one of those personalities that exceeds well in a nine to five, but even if you are one of those people, there's so many other jobs to do that isn't a nine to five and that isn't investing in a pyramid scheme. I wanted the ability to stay home with my daughter if she's sick with 103 degree fever and not have to go into work and risk losing my job because I was out of sick days. I wanted to be able to make 30 grand a month to pay off debt easily. I think everyone wants that. Can I say something, though?  Hunbots?  Have you noticed that?  No, I haven't noticed that.  I hear that all the time from them.  You should probably go get them checked out. They're just saying. Okay, I'm getting bit by bit. But to me, it is so much scarier to stay in a job, a nine to five o'clock in job until I'm 65 with two weeks vacation a year and four sick days I can take a year. So much scarier than investing $5,000 one time. I just, I can't even explain to you. And there we have it, folks. That is the price of a Kangan filter, water filtration system. $5,000. It's not one of those MLM gigs where you sell five products to one of your friends who sells five products to their friends and so on and so forth. ANAGIC is a true direct sales business. ANAGIC's flagship model, which costs $4,980. Okay, so every single time a Kangan machine is sold, there are eight commission points for checks which are paid out to the distributors. Depending on which machine you sell determines how much each commission check is worth. Imagine starting at the website where it's like super inspiring become a social media influencer and you watch a free class and you talk with them and it seems like you're going to learn about business, learn about being an entrepreneur and then you go down further and further and then all of a sudden you're like, oh, we're going to sell Kangan machines and you're like, uh, okay. That's not exactly what I thought we were going to be doing, but sure.  It's lame. Let's just be real. So, yeah. That is just crazy. And I feel so bad for people that get sucked into this and get all the way down to the final moment when they find out that they have to purchase this Kangan machine for $5,000. Overall, this is just the same scheme that we've been seeing for years and years just recycled and rehashed.  Sitting and slouching, they probably also get those weird stomach rolls that we've been taught to be so insecure of. And when they're surfing that crystal blue clear water they've probably been hit by a wave and that stuff is not fun. Really powerful thing you can do when you're around the ocean is just ask the ocean to cleanse and clean. Not to say that this lifestyle isn't great but you can't be happy but no one's ever perfect and there's never 100% perfect moments in life. And whenever someone's trying to sell you that idea they're probably roping you into some sort of false illusion scheme. And really just a fake lifestyle in general. And that's all I have to say about the breakaway movement and the breakaway cult. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and until next time, have a good one.


Don't you guys go anywhere because I have opinions. I have lots and lots of opinions and we're gonna get into those opinions and find out what the very worst products in each brand are right now. Hey my friends just two disclaimer don't nobody throw any rotten tomatoes or rotten eggs at the screen because this is just one woman's opinion. I don't like these products particularly. As a matter of fact I think they're probably the worst products that each of these cosmetic lines have ever put out. However, if you love these products keep loving them. There is no reason not to love them. If they work on you I think that's fantastic. Half of the battle is finding something that works on our individual faces so if you love something just keep going with it. Now this is 20 products from 20 different brands and they are the ones that I picked out after my six years. A lot of them are mostly new releases really but after my six years I've picked out these ones that really just were kind of icky and I just decided nope those are yucky and they're gonna go to the wayside but it's not all negative today. I am putting in a positive. Once I show you what I do not like at all I'm gonna give you the alternative of what I absolutely love and a lot of these are gonna come as absolutely no surprise to you because they are tried and true favorites of mine. However I'm not spending a lot of time on each of my loves just so you know that. Now I'm gonna put a timestamp right here for you where the actual 20 products begins because I do have an intro always that I talk about different things in and it usually takes a few minutes so that timestamp is right here. Go to that timestamp if you'd like to skip over this intro. First of all in the intro I always love to show you my t-shirt or my shirt whatever I'm wearing and I am in love. I just barely found this one on Amazon and this is like a dressy t-shirt that you could wear with a skirt slacks if you have if you go to the office and the reason is is because it has so much feminine detail to it. It is kind of a v-neck with the three buttons which kind of elevates it but as you can see right here it's just a t-shirt it's very stretchy it's very lightweight it is very true to size I wear a large I like to wear my t-shirts a little bit on the tighter side just personal preference there but it also has this fun neckline on it which is the ruffle and then it has the puff sleeve and the sleeve does gather gather right there midway on the bicep and my earrings I have shown before but they're one of my very favorite earrings they're a an enameled butterfly butterfly up top and one bigger one that hangs down and then two like posts or gold like chains with posts on them down there they're so much fun they're not that heavy I have to have a pretty light earring because I don't like to tug on my ears because seem too many people have the earring the ears that are you know almost pulled through so I don't like to do that very much but also most of the makeup that I am wearing today will be in the video I'll tell you what I'm wearing I have new fingernail polish on today yay for that and I also have some rings on and a bracelet on I'll show you the bracelet really quick and all of those will be linked for you in the description box speaking of links right here on the screen is gonna come up a number that number will correspond to whatever product I'm holding up now I'm gonna tell you that I am not doing the products that I don't like I'm not gonna link to those because I don't want you to buy those they're nasty products I shouldn't say nasty because some of you're gonna get upset that but anyway they're not the greatest products that I've ever used so this number right here is gonna correspond to the product that I do like so you don't have to remember the product because we are gonna go quickly but you can remember the number or jot it down then go into the description box open up the description box and find that number next to the number will be the good product with the link and you can shop that way if you'd like to alright that's the intro we covered everything we needed to that being said let's get into the junkie products the yucky products the icky products whatever you want to call them they're just not that good let's do it alright I do also want to tell you that some of these products I've already decluttered but I have tried them all so we're gonna start off with the color pop jelly much formula for eyeshadow this was the biggest mess to me first of all it was so liquidy that it wouldn't dry down very quickly so I didn't transfer up onto the top of part of my lid it just was not a good look at all and it would show up a lot of my texture so no I couldn't do that one but I will tell you that the actual super shock formula from them is absolutely phenomenal and I said I wasn't gonna take a lot of time on the products I love but this one right here I'm just going to swatch it for you this would make the most beautiful eyeliner and these stick around that one is coconut I've had coconut in my makeup kit for years because I keep buying it even when it dries out or whatever it does I buy it it's so good okay the next no way can't do it product is from flower beauty and it is their I bright palette I bought this in three different shades hoping that it would work I wanted to try it out for you all so much you never saw it because I don't like it in this palette is a great concept you have three different products that are the cream products you have two different concealers and down here your color corrector or your brightener and then you have a setting powder great concept right well first of all these products over here the cream ones they are so slick and these two right here do not build up so you basically are just waiting for the creases to set and they never do they just get deeper and the powder itself is super drying so I thought this is a really good concept I like what they're trying to do but no so the alternative to that is my tried and true forever and ever pixie by Petra brightening color corrector and this one is so good this is my brand new one I haven't even dipped into it yet because I'm trying to use other color correctors up for Tilbury but I really love this one and this is my third one and I will very soon be using this so I love love love pixie beauty and their color corrector all right the next one Lordy Lordy this was so bad there's a lot of foundations in this video by the way this is the physicians formula butter believe it foundation and concealer in one okay first of all can you see how separated it is I don't know if you're gonna be able to or not it is so separated it was extremely oily on my skin and this stuff I put it on and I kid you not within like three to five minutes it turned oompa oompa orange and it was so it was like a nope patchy yucky can't do it so instead go ahead and pick up one of my number seven lift and luminates serum foundations you all know that this is my number one foundation at the drugstore it won't it won't be your concealer too although if you don't have very you know bad dark circles it sure could be it's beautiful enough to be but it is such a better performing foundation than this I love it I rave about it all the time it is perfection alright the next one you want to talk about an orange mess this one too this is the L'Oreal infallible 24 plus hour fresh wear foundation in a powder this broke tic-tac I mean they wanted it they loved it they thought oh nothing could be better this is so drying on my dry mature skin it looks terrible before I started doing myself tanning the color of it itself it just turned orange it made me look super yellow I felt like I was wiping off powder all day long I could not get on board with this so many people love this but I'm sorry it is not one that I can like even a little bit but I did very recently try for you the Laura Geller foundations her baked foundations this one is the full coverage one and then this one right here is the pro glow one and these are incredibly beautiful and I had a whole demonstration of these and they really truly are something special and I know these aren't drugstore but you can get these on sale so many times on her website or sometimes you know they have flash sales on Amazon as well and yes skip over that infallible unless you are somebody that is super oily and you like to wear powder foundations anyway yeah no we're gonna do it all right the next one I had really high hopes for because you know that I love LA girls shadow formula in their 16-pan palettes and their little 9-pan palettes but this one is the dream glitter iridescent liquid eyeshadow okay first of all it went on fine it was okay yeah I can already start to feel it dry down the thing is is that it doesn't show this on camera because I'm kind of giving you a view like this but it when you look at it close enough you need to put another coat on so I went ahead and I put another coat on and I was real careful with it and immediately became patchy and that was the hard part for me is that there were parts that had enough shadow on them the next part it just lifted the shadow underneath the thing that just absolutely got me was that this dried down so hard and it was so just it was like concrete almost on my eye and as I'm blinking throughout the day little particles of it is falling off in big patches not just like little glitter particles big patches of that crap is falling off and I'm like I don't think so but I did find very recently from next this is their ultimate glow shots liquid eyeshadow and I do like this one now I don't know about the other colors but I have this one color and this just coats in one coat it's very creamy now it does dry down but it doesn't dry down so hard that it feels flaky and yucky and it covered everything it was pretty and it felt good going on I didn't feel like when it dried down it just you know sucked a life out of my eyelids and you could see all my texture anyway so that one I did like so the next one I heard about from a youtuber and she was comparing this to the YSL the Breitner or concealer the YSL has and this is the I bright luminous concealer from Rick make revolution and so I was excited because you know that YSL is like super expensive this doesn't do a thing this is just water I am not kidding it I mean it might show a little bit of illumination there but even when I just oh my gosh I can't even begin to tell you how disappointing this is there is no coverage in this whatsoever it will mess with if you already have a foundation that you like on it will mess with that it will move it around and it just defeated the purpose of covering my eyes and trying to get brightness there anyway now I will tell you what I do like is the shape tape glow wand from Tarte and this is fairly good coverage however I just use this just to bring a tiny bit of light so I'll dot here and dot here and then just work that in it has a lot of lightness to it but what's nice about it is it has a tiny bit of coverage too this comes in so many different colors which I like about that too but you can see that it just brings brightness whereas this is there any coverage there no is there any you know is it's just messy and this is just kind of blending in with your concealer you already have or where it is your concealer but it does have that little bit of glow that if you're a little bit older it can show texture but as far as that brightness goes without messing up any coverage you already have on this is a really really good product oh my goodness this one broke tic-tac to okay this is the Maybelline 4-in-1 instant age rewind perfecter it says that it's a primer a concealer highlighter and a BB cream so many people love this I'm sorry I cannot get on board with this the reason being is that this is so huh how do I put this it's really slippery and so when I put this on and then if I need more coverage and I go put more on of anything like even if I put on a cream blush or a bronzer or whatever it messes with that and this still feels super slick so it feels like it has a lot of the dimethicone in it I would never put this up underneath my eyes I think that it would just really make a mess with texture under my eyes and I know so many of you love this and you couldn't wait to get your hands on it but I have tried this actually purchased this twice which is the dumbest thing I think I've probably ever done but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't up in the night about not liking it but I will tell you that this one from Revlon the rose glow hydrating illuminating primer I do really like this one and it's the one that I have on underneath my makeup today it gives a great glow it's super light for summer so if you don't like that heavy dimethicone feel like something like this might have this is super light it does its job about blurring out the pores a little bit and it definitely does its job of creating that barrier which makes your foundation last longer I like that one oh baby baby I think I could throw this one as far as you could throw it and still go pick it up and throw it further I don't don't like these undone beauty water things I I have a blush and I have a bronzer and first of all that's supposed to be a bronzer that is so orange I don't know if you guys can see that or not it's so orange it's just nasty and it really it just keeps turning more orange the more you wear it that one was a blush excuse me that wasn't the bronzer this one I believe is the bronzer and you're gonna see the orange again it is so weird and you know the concept of it being watery actually this one is just yeah all it does is just turn into orange and I cannot figure out I mean look at that it's dark is dark and it barely puts any cover color down on my hand no no no I I'm pretty underwhelmed by undone beauty I I'm sorry to say that they are not my favorite however if you want to look for something that is very super light and very airy and almost watery these Milani blushes the cheek kiss liquid blushes it's what I have on today for my blush and they're beautiful I absolutely love this formula it gives you enough pigment that you're getting that brightness and yet if you want to you can share it out to be hardly anything but once this dries down it's there and it's not going away and you can see it that's like okay over here is that undone beauty when you can't even see it and then I put the Milani on one on and bam it's just pretty okay the next one I do not have because I threw this out almost immediately it's the NYX total control drops hue changers now first of all they made a mistake in not putting a blue in there which I will talk about in just a second but they are the most watery separating products I've ever used I had a white and I had the dark one and it did not work worth nothing it was just nasty I would have to put so much into the foundation that it would actually change the consistency of the foundation and I didn't want that I just wanted to have a little bit of correction on the color right well this was just ridiculous and so yeah they separate in the bottle it's almost totally water it just is not a great product at all but you know what a great product is if you've been with me for very long and that is the LA girl pro matte mixing pigments this also comes in an orange and it comes in a yellow I have white and I have blue blue is to take any of those orange foundations that you have and make them into the most beautiful cool tone foundation you've ever seen and the white one is obviously to make a very dark foundation go lighter and these are great also if you're somebody that has trouble finding a warm enough foundation that's what the orange and the green is for as well they're so good and it takes such a teeny tiny droplet that you don't that it doesn't mess with the foundation that you're working with anyway so yippie for those I love those the next one I may be gonna get it for this I don't know but you guys may may feel this way also too wet and wild about a year ago came out with their new eyeshadow formula and I know so many youtubers that love these but I am so sad that the one that the formula that they had right before this is gone they completely revamped the formula and I don't like it now my biggest one was petalette that is one that they redid and I feel like they completely messed that up and so I went out and I bought I think I bought three or four petalette quads that you used to be able to get with this this it this I could not build there was too many glitters the different formulas in like a 10-pan like this fell short there was a lot of warmth in all of these so it really turned very orange and I I can't wear orange it just doesn't work on my cool tone skin just a huge fail and I was so sad because I was a huge fan of wet and wild color icon before they did that but the ones that I chose to show you today are the elf little bite-sized palettes these are so amazing I actually have on my eyes today this one is called cream and sugar it is a super easy palette for me to work with because I have my transition shade my eyelid shade and then my outer you know darkening shade so pretty and then I also have truffles rose water and I see a you and it is just they're beautiful the pigment is great it's there but it doesn't hardly take anything to buff them out on your eyes pick one of these up at the price point you just cannot beat them and boy they knock wet and wild out of the water every single time I reach for one of these and I am never disappointed all right this junk I'm gonna get so much trouble for this video the Revlon color stay light cover foundation this is a mess this goes on so patchy and clung to every single dry spot I had and it broke apart so fast and I could not wait to wash my face after I tried this it was it was icky icky icky and so I want to just suggest to you that if you really like a light foundation like this you might want to look at the wet and wild tinted hydrator now I am not somebody that likes just a tinted formula I like a little bit more coverage but this is really good as far as what they're wanting to do when you just are somebody that just likes a little bit of evenness to your complexion and you don't really want to go the full-out foundation route that's understandable but this is a really good one for a substitute for it and I feel like they did a great job and you know the hydration that this gives and the coverage that it gives with two coats you can get a really light to medium coverage with this you just get a light to patchy coverage and it just doesn't work so definitely skip over that Revlon you don't want to go anywhere near that baby this one I don't have either I know I have it but I couldn't find it because I do put a lot of my makeup just to the side and kind of revisit it at times if I don't like it this is the morphe to hide-and-peek concealer at first when I wore this I thought I am going to love this it went on really pretty and I was really happy with the results as I was wearing it and an hour later I flipped the visor down and looked in there and I was like oh my goodness what has happened and I looked like I had Crypt Keeper eyes underneath there I looked so old and everything was settled down there and I was like oh man why you know and you can't go home and wipe it off so you got to just kind of mess with it and do the best you can at that point which by the time you get home you're like in tears because you just look like you're 40 years older than you actually are instead save yourself some aggravation and try out the 18-hour Catrice True Skin High Coverage concealer I love this it is actually what I have on today and it just works so good I have loved it for such a long time and it's one of those concealers that is almost like high-end it just performs so well it sits down it looks good on your under eyes for the whole day and it's not drying and isn't that the biggest hurdle we have is that all of the concealers you know would they want them to sit down so that they don't crease on us but when they sit down they dry so much that we end up looking like we're old and so yeah save yourself some aggravation and just go get the Catrice instead we're gonna pause talking about the yucky products for just a second because I only have 1500 to go to get to 100,000 which I'm super excited about so this video is a giveaway video just like the last one I will show you very quickly what you're going to get you're going to get a Sigma liner you're going to get a little vice lipstick micro setting mist from elf really good there is a green mascara their new mascara from Maybelline I haven't even tried this one I just thought you might like to try it I also have one of the elf poreless putty primers for you to try I have a bare minimum bare minerals bronzer this is a bronzer and a blush mix and this one is in kiss of rose this is my favorite color and I think that you're gonna love it too I also have this beautiful concealer brush from bare minerals and I just I had two of them and so I thought I would give the other one away also from Pixie Beauty this is the rose essence oil this is a lovely oil that I use all the time Kosas one of their 10-second eyes and I also have an Ulta lip gloss right here and check me out so Katrice hooked me up with every single color that they had in their line for their concealers so you're not gonna be getting this many but I'll throw two or three of the concealer colors that you choose in there anytime I do a giveaway I am not going to get you to go to another app you will never have to pay me for the giveaway I give to you you don't have to pay anything you just have to make a comment down below that's all you have to do and you have to be subscribed to my channel because I will check to make sure that you're subscribed to my channel there are so many scammers going on right now that the only way that you're going to know if you want is to watch one of my videos now I just announced another giveaway on my last video so go over and check that one out and be entered into that one too and I said in that video that I was going to announce the winner towards the end of the month in an Amazon video that's what I'm gonna do with this one too so you're gonna have to tune into that Amazon video it will be right around the 1st of July that I will do that don't forget to because if it doesn't come out of my mouth that you're the winner you're not a winner and you just have to be really careful guys because there are tons of scammers out there and I don't want one person to get sucked into any sort of a scam they will try to get you all right the number 13 I do not have because I did not pass go it went directly to the trash can and yeah it was nastiness all the way around and it was the profusion foundation now I talked about the better believe it breaking apart and just not looking good on the skin the profusion was so greasy to me and then I don't know how but it became drier than crap and so I would suggest that you go and you take a peek at the Colourpop pretty fresh hyaluronic hydrating foundation and keep in mind I'm a very dry girl so I'm gonna always suggest to you something with hydration in it even if it is summer because my skin does get very dehydrated even when the humidity comes in the summer this is a beautiful foundation on gives you medium coverage and yet it just looks pretty on your skin you just feel fresh for the rest of the day like the name says it's pretty fresh so yeah I would definitely recommend that one over the profusion one couldn't do it so the next one I also do not have because it went directly to the trash and did not pass go was the essence matte or the luminous bronzers those babies are so orange I am I am talking the worst oompa loompa orange you could possibly put on your face in your entire lifetime they are terrible terrible orange but I do like and I do have on today now I am a little bit warmer in my complexion since I'm self-tenning so this one is the heat wave from flower beauty the luminous powder bronzer and it's a baked product it has the swirls in it it looks super cool in the pan it's not it's not a very cool product and this is going to be hard for you to see because of my tan but oops let's find a place right there so it is a little bit more along the lines of a warm bronzer but it's much cooler than many many bronzers I've ever had and like I said I do have it on my face today to warm up my skin I didn't use any contour today I didn't use anything muddy this is just warmth on my skin and it comes from this what else I like about it is that it's very luminous it looks like you have a little bit of a glow it's very pretty ooh I'm gonna get it for this one too I don't have this with me either the elf CC camo cream so many people love this foundation and I know I know I'm no I'm gonna probably get in trouble for this but I could not make it work it just looked really bad on my mature skin it looked like a thick layer of makeup and even though I do like a full coverage on my face I don't like my makeup to look thick and cakey and I just could not do it and besides that the colors again they were all very orange and I had a very hard time with it however Katrice also has the foundation that is the true skin this is the hydrating foundation with hyaluronic acid and it says it's long wear I have this one on today mixed with my beloved number seven and the reason is is because my number seven was just really really cool color but this one warmed it up just a little bit it gives you the beautiful coverage that you need without being cakey without looking like makeup it's just pretty on-skin and it's one that I have recommended forever and I will continue to recommend it the next one I don't have either however the cover girl outlast the matte lipsticks or the all-day lipsticks that have the like lip paint on one side and then they have the lip gloss color on the other side of them oh my word I can't handle that that paint is so drying it does stain your lips I will give it that it does stain your lips we have the color on all day but the colors even change on me as the day goes on I mean it gets a little darker or that you know gets a little patchy I'm not a fan I am not a fan at all and that gloss is so oily that I always had bleeds coming down I could not do that I know that it's so many people's formula that they've loved forever I mean it was one of the very first ones that ever came out with liquid lipsticks so you know a lot of people still love it but I really like the Maybelline New York this is the ultimate lipstick you know this is matte so if you have very dry lips already you might not you might want to put on a lip balm before or after or put a gloss on top of it this is a beautiful color called more mauve and you guys know how much I love my mauves and it's not super drying now I will say that it's not like a regular lipstick but that's good because if you want something to stay on like the cover girl then you want something that is more matte but oh man those cover girl I could never get on board my mom loves those and I'm like mom you're 86 how do you even wear those on your lips anyway she really loves them the next one is from Koki and this is the B bright concealer again I don't have this one it got you know down the you know garbage train on its way as soon as I tried it one time and again the most drying horrific experience of concealer under my eyes I just have to be very careful if not I am gonna look so much older and it just it's not a good look nobody wants to see that so again let's look to color pop pretty fresh this is a hyaluronic concealer and it is a very nice one gives great coverage and it does last all day and it's one that you can put it on set it down a little bit with either a setting spray or a powder and you're gonna like it for me it covers all the way and hydrates without creasing and I just really like that one alright the next one is the Milani cream blushes okay when they came out with these I the texture of them I don't even have any they're all gone too the texture of them is so balm like it's like you could dip into there and put it on your lips and it could actually be a gloss which would probably be the better way to use it than using them on your cheeks because by the time at the end of the day came my blush just looked like it was just grease and not only that there was hardly any pigment to it and I was really disappointed because it had been hyped up so much and I thought well maybe this is the one that's gonna be great for me but sadly no it wasn't now I have discovered a cream blush that I do like it's actually stick blushes that I am liking right now and these are from Palladio they're really pretty and they give you a really good amount of saturation and they also have some that have a really beautiful highlight in them as well like that one right there and so these are nice these are really nice I actually just got these like two weeks ago and have been experimenting and we made it to the last one the last product that I would never recommend to anybody is any of Ulta's mascaras I have tried and I wrote them down I have tried the ultimate lashes the lash flash the twisted volume the curled up the new heights and the maximum lashes I've tried a bunch of theirs and I actually have the ultimate lash right here and no it just every single one has either been super duper clumpy you can even see on this that the brush looks like a clumpy mess what in the world it's like there's no freaking stopper in there what in the world is going on I don't know they always smudge on me and if they don't smudge they flake so this is a big no-no I do not like any of their mascaras if you guys have one that you like that I haven't just said let me know because I will go ahead and try another one but if you are on the hunt for something that is a beautiful mascara turn to Maybelline they have great mascaras they're really good the sky high from Maybelline now they have the deep the deep deep black one that's really beautiful and my second choice in Maybelline is the falsies lash lift and I do have the sky high on today and it just separates it gets every single little lash and it makes them super duper long that's just two coats of mascara and I love this so yeah it's one of those ones that I think definitely stay away from something like Ulta's mascara do you know how much trouble I'm gonna be in after this video I'm never gonna have another brand call me up and say hey we want you to help us out and try some stuff I'm brutally honest I'm in the weirdest mood today you guys hopefully everything was okay give this video a thumbs up if you did enjoy it thanks so much for being with me I'm going to throw another video up right here in the corner I'll put the video that I did right before this one which is the video on the 20 best products from the 20 brands at the drug store so I hope that you did enjoy this and seeing the ones that I would choose instead please take care of yourselves have a great day I love you much and we will meet right back here just as soon as we can in my very next video goodbye my friends


Um, do you want to talk about the, uh, one of the guys they played against Mr. Gilgis, Alexander, it's just one of the longest greatest names of all time. 37 points. I keep reading so much about him possibly being on the trading block, which I do not understand. But as far as NBA scorers are concerned, where do you put him?  He, he is going. He is absolutely getting buck. It's, he's getting double team and still putting up numbers. Um, he's doing exactly what we talked about yesterday. He's almost playing too good for the situation there. And, and you know, Presti's wondering, you know, what he could get for him. How many picks could he get? Picks is one team need. That's, and, and that's the thing.  So he's not, he's one of the older guys on that team, but he fits right into that structure. So that's why the sense I've always got is they want to continue to build around him. That's the guy, even though you have teams like the Lakers, the Knicks, the rappers, you see a different team rumored every week. It seems like, but that's a guy that you want to keep. They have the draft picks. It's like, what are you going to trade another one of your top players and get even more draft. They have enough draft picks last in the decade, right? And I don't understand. Like you have this player right now is 24. The draft pick might get as good as him, but probably not. So, and this kid's not like he's 30, 34. This guy's young. Giddy, like that's a backcourt you can build around. And if Chet comes back, he's healthy. Right. And who knows? You get the number one pick, you get Victor. Imagine a frontcourt of Victor and Chet. And then you have those two guys in your backcourt. Now you're really building something. And those guys need someone like SGA. They need that floor general. They need that go-to score. Those kids, they're very good. But I don't think they're going to come in the league. Average in 25, 30 points. You just don't know. You need this on this team. Eight assists last night as well. You know, we talk about all the younger guards we have in the league, John Morant, Trey, Darius Garland. He's there with those guys. He's just as talented. He's proven it in the playoffs when he was with the Clippers. He's proven it in the playoffs when he was with the Thunder as well in the bubble. He's talented, man. And it's like, yeah. As NBA fans are like, yo, we think they're tanking. You trade out of that guy. You get rid of that contract.  You've got to hold on to that piece and try to build a round and build a round. They've got to pay someone, right? I mean, well, that's the thing.  Like he had a moment last night, which I'm sure he's very proud of. And everyone who loves him is very proud of. Just breaking ankles is the name of the game. Oh, good. I mean, there's more than ankles breaking. That was nasty. I feel like there's like a lot going on there. But I wonder, this is my question. Number one, he is young and he probably hears some of the noise about, is he on the trading block? Is he not on the trading block? What does that do to a kid mentally? And secondly, are we only talking about trading because it's Oklahoma City? And we've all just grown accustomed to them just collecting, I guess, draft picks instead of building. That's just how it works, right? In those smaller markets, whether you talk about New Orleans with Anthony Davis, Shay Gildes with Oklahoma City. It's like these guys, for whatever reason, they prominently be described on social media. I don't care from Chandler's perspective. Like being a player, if you were in SGA's position and you're playing in Oklahoma City, you're on a full max contract, you like it there. From all, by all accounts, he does like it there. The organization wants you there. Like how are you, is it outside pressures? Like what leads you to? Yeah, I think it goes, I think it goes both ways. I think he loves being the man on this team. I think he loves kind of helping the development of these young guys. And he sees the potential. He sees the future with Chet coming back. He sees Josh Giddy as a Hooper. And he sees this guy in France that could really help his team next year. But then yeah, he also sees a big market and he knows he's becoming this star that is an elite player and he wants the recognition of a Brooklyn net, of a Los Angeles Laker. And you don't necessarily get- God, does he know? Look at them, that's- But you don't necessarily get that love and that attention. We talk about Ben Simmons. Him and Ben Simmons kind of need to switch situations.  He needs to go to a big market. Can we make that happen? Don't tease me, Chandler, don't cheat. For the thunder, this is the point of hoarding all these assets. You get a guy like Shay, right? You build around that. You have him on a contract that makes sense. He's the prize of the Paul George trade. You don't just then ship that off two years later and say, let's get- More draft picks, yeah. For something that he'll become maybe as good as him. It's like the price of deal, make a deal.  I remember when Kawhi was up and it was like, I won't give up picks for Kawhi. Yo, what is the chance that that pick one day ends up maybe as good as Kawhi? You know what you have right now. You give up the picks. Are we taking the mystery box or are we taking the car? I think it's the gamble. I see the car. We're doing the Peter Griffin thing. Maybe there's a car in here. No, there's a car. It's right there. But this is the point of gathering all these assets is to eventually have players that are as good as Shay Gilger's, Alexander. I think Preci, I mean, look, he's done a good job but I think that he's sort of brought this assumption on himself because we're so used to him doing these moves for that. But building around him seems like the whole end game and the whole purpose of having done this in the first place, but it's OKC and you're right. I didn't think about the idea from his perspective. Does he want to stay there, the small markets? But then look at, look, San Antonio Spurs, like that's a small market and for a long time they were it. So it's possible. Just take a minute. Yeah, totally.


Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and it is Monday, so it's meal prep day. I have three whole real food, healthy recipes for you and don't mistake healthy with not being delicious because these three recipes are a 10 out of a 10.  Subscribe if you're not, turn your bell on because I do a meal prep every Monday and I do upload five videos every single week. As always, I have built all of the recipes in the free Trainist app. That is the app that I use to build recipes, scan foods and track my food. Again, it is a free app. Who doesn't love a good free calorie tracking app? And one thing about Trainist that I love besides how easy it is to use, how accurate it is, there are no ads.  And if you're on a budget, free is always a good thing when it comes to apps. I will link the Trainist app in the description box for you. And again, I'll be showing you throughout the meal prep how I'm building the recipes in the app. Super, super simple. And of course, down in the description box along with the Trainist app link, I will have my recipe website. That is where you will find all three of today's recipes. Nutrition coaching, where I offer personalized to you macros and calories.  Links and discounts to my favorite things and my Facebook group, it's free. Come join us are all down in that description box. So let's make three amazing, healthy and delicious recipes. For breakfast this week, I'm making apple oatmeal bars and then I'm going to pair this with some protein. I have those Amy Lou chicken sausages. From Costco, I also have some pre-cooked bacon. So we're gonna have a delicious bar and some protein for breakfast. So let me show you what you'll need. First, you're going to need unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, flax meal. If you have flax seeds, just grind them up in a coffee grinder or spice grinder so that you can get a meal consistency. You'll need rolled oats, sugar-free maple syrup, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and a medium or large apple. So the first thing I did is added two cups of my oats to my little ninja blender here. Blended them up to make oat flour. So we're going to add that to a bowl. You can also buy oat flour, whatever your preference is. I didn't have any so I just used some of my rolled oats. And then I have an additional cup of whole oats. I'm going to add those. One teaspoon of baking powder, one and a half teaspoons of cinnamon. I'm probably going to do more like a tablespoon just because I love cinnamon. And then a pinch of salt and then mix that together. Just make sure it's combined really well. Then I'm going to add in one third cup sugar-free maple syrup, three quarters of a cup unsweetened applesauce, about a teaspoon of vanilla extract and then two tablespoons of my ground flax. And then mix that together. And then I'm going to add about three quarters of my chopped apple reserve a little bit in your bowl and then mix that in. So I sprayed an eight by eight, seven by seven, nine by nine, six by six, whatever you want to do, baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Then we're going to add the apple bar mixture and then we're going to sprinkle those remaining apples on top. And I think I may add a little bit of cinnamon as well. Our bars are going into a 350 degree oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until they're cooked through. The apple oatmeal bars are done. Don't these look so good? It smells like cinnamon apples. I'm so excited. These are nice and thick. So I will go ahead of course and show you how to build the recipe in the Trainist app. And I will go ahead and put points, calories, macros, serving size here on the screen for you. Life is a winding road where it goes driving through days and nights. For lunch this week, I'm making a chicken teriyaki bento box. So we're going to have veggies, a carb and a protein. Let me show you what you'll need. First you're going to need soy sauce. You also need rice wine vinegar. I swore I had it so I didn't buy it and I don't have it. So I'm going to omit it, but it will be on the recipe. It will be in the recipe on my website. Definitely add it to the recipe, but I'm going to have to skip it. Soy sauce, some type of leafy green. I have baby spinach, so I'm going to use that. Fresh ginger, ginger paste. You can even use ground ginger, sesame oil, brown sugar alternative. The Lakonto Golden. It's my favorite brown sugar substitute. I will link it down below. I do have a 15% off discount site-wide for Lakonto. Sesame seeds. I have some jasmine rice cooking in my little dash rice cooker. I bought this on Amazon a long time ago. I love it. I'll link it for you. It is in my Amazon store, but I did one cup of dry rice, two cups of water. Whatever rice is left over, I'll just put it in the fridge for Troy. And then you're going to need chicken breasts, chicken tenderloin. You can even do chicken thigh, edamame and then radishes or radicchio. I have radicchio, so I'm going to use that. So the first thing I'm going to do is brown my chicken about three minutes on each side, and then I'll remove it, put it on the plate and we'll get started on the sauce. While your chicken is cooking, let's put together our sauce. So we're going to start with one tablespoon of soy sauce, add a teaspoon of fresh ginger, a teaspoon of our Lakonto Golden, and then you would also add in one tablespoon of rice vinegar, and then you're going to stir that together. So I went ahead and removed my chicken, just set it on the plate, and then I'm going to add my sauce to my pan, and we're going to let it just boil, simmer a little bit until it starts to thicken. And then we're adding back in our chicken. I think I might slice it up a little bit too in the pan, but we do want to let that chicken finish cooking completely through and your sauce will get nice and sticky. So our chicken is done. I'm going to just go ahead and set it aside while we make up the dressing for our salad. I'm going to mix it in a mason jar since I'm not going to eat these right away. I don't want to add the dressing. It'll just make the spinach and the radicchio soggy. So I'm going to mix it up in a mason jar and then I'll just add it to my salad each day. So I'm going to start with three teaspoons of my Lakonto Golden, three quarters of a teaspoon of sesame oil, one and a half tablespoons of soy sauce, and you'll also do one and a half tablespoons of rice vinegar. I'm going to add about a tablespoon of water just for some extra liquid since I don't have the rice vinegar. And then I'm just going to shake it up and just put it in my refrigerator. And each day I'll just drizzle it over the salad. So to assemble the lunch, I am going to go ahead and assemble one today so I can have it for lunch. The rest of them, I'm going to just pack up the ingredients and assemble on the day that I'm eating them. Again, we don't want to add our dressing until right before we eat. And I also want to be able to warm it up so I don't want to put all my salad ingredients in there either. And I'm using frozen edamame. So again, I'll have to warm that through. So since I'm going to have this for lunch today, let's go ahead and put one together. And we're going to start with one third of our teriyaki chicken. Our recipe makes three bento boxes. And I have one cup of edamame total. So I'm going to divide that again evenly. So about one third of the edamame. And then it's three quarters cup of rice total. So I'm going to add about a quarter of a cup of rice to each bento box. And then lastly, some salad. So again, I'm going to use some spinach and radicchio. And then I'm going to add some sesame seeds right on top of everything. And there is my lunch, my little bento box. And then of course I'll add my dressing right on top before I eat it. But this looks absolutely incredible. I'm going to go ahead and package up the rest of my ingredients so that I can make these up each day. And I'll be back to share points, calories and macros. So here is my completed lunch bento box. How cute is this? What a great, healthy lunch. So like I said, I just kind of packaged everything up for the week. I have my spinach and radicchio, my edamame. I put all the rice in a bowl. Like I said, Troy will eat the leftovers and I'll just measure out a quarter cup for me. I have my chicken, my dressing and my sesame seeds. So I'll go ahead, put all the points, calories, macros, serving size here on the screen for you. And of course how to track and build the recipe in the train of staff. It goes, driving through days and nights. Won't stop for traffic lights. For snack this week, I am making a date bars. I've been craving dates. They're such a great, healthy food. So I'm going to make up some bars for the week. Let me show you what you'll need. First you're going to need rolled oats, unsweetened coconut flakes. If you can go to Trader Joe's, these have the least amount of calories of other unsweetened coconut flakes and they're really good, they're organic, love them. So if you have a Trader Joe's near you, highly recommend. You'll also need walnuts, flax, meal, coconut oil, lemon juice, baking soda, one egg, salt and medjool dates. So to get started on our date bars, you're going to need a food processor. I actually just bought this one off of Amazon. It just came yesterday. This is from Moss and Stone. I never had a food processor. I don't know why but I didn't and I knew that I wanted to really incorporate dates more and the food processor is the easiest way to smash it all up. I'll link the food processor down below for you, super affordable. It's a three cup capacity so it small doesn't take up a lot of room in your cabinet which is kind of what I was looking for. So I'm excited to have this. So I have one and a half cups of rolled oats. I'm going to add one cup of it to my food processor. Pop on the lid and we're going to blend this down to make oat flour. Then we're going to add in six pitted dates, half of a cup of our unsweetened coconut flakes, a pinch of salt, then half of a teaspoon of baking soda and we're going to give that another pulse. We're getting kind of full so we might have to do this in stages. If you have a full-size food processor, you could probably do it all in one but I think I'm going to go ahead and add in my half of a cup of walnuts and my remaining half of a cup of rolled oats. Give that a pulse and then we'll just transfer this to a bowl to finish the rest of the ingredients. So I'm going to transfer this mixture into a bowl and then back into the little food processor pitcher, I'm going to add one egg, two tablespoons of coconut oil and two tablespoons of flax meal. Pop the lid on and we'll process this as well. And we'll go ahead and add the wet mixture to our dry mixture and then we're going to mix this together. This is the cookie base of our bars. We're going to add all of our cookie base except for about a half of a cup because we want to reserve that to add to the top as a crumble. And then we're just going to press this in place. I did spray my eight by eight baking dish with some non-stick cooking spray. I cleaned my food processor container. We're going to add in about 18 pitted dates about a teaspoon of lemon juice, pinch of salt. And then we're going to put this back onto our food processor and we're going to pulse it for about five to 10 minutes. It kind of depends on how much power your food processor has. I honestly don't know the power of this one. It seems to be pretty good but you are periodically going to stop it and scrape down the sides with a spatula. And this is basically going to make a date paste for the date layer. Now we're going to add that date layer, that date caramel layer right on top of the crust and just spread that out evenly. And then we're going to sprinkle that remaining top crust mix right on top. And it's going into our 325 degree oven for 18 minutes. So my date bars are out of the oven. Everything looks so good. I am so excited for these. What a healthy, sweet treat. Something you don't have to feel guilty about. And the dates is the only sugar and it's natural sugar. Just as a reminder, date, I count dates as zero points. So my points for the recipe have the dates at zero. You count them as you see fit but I will go ahead and put points, calories, macros here on the screen for you as well as how to build the recipe again in the train of staff. I really wanna know, really wanna know. Thank you for joining me for today's meal prep. I hope you enjoyed seeing a breakfast, lunch and snack. I will tell you that I've already tried the date bars. They're incredible. I've already tried the apple bars. They're also really good. And I'm having the bento box for lunch today. I'm expecting it to be equally as delicious.

what's happening ladies and a gentleman selling bike back with another video we're gonna hop in maybe more of a social conversation today i don't like to think it's political or anything like that but it's something i've personally observed in my journey through the gym whether i'm working or lifting over the last 10 years uh the 15 years uh and just on the internet instagram social media and these kind of things and that's how women have been training uh more for performance more for themselves and are more often in the free weight section than they were 10 years ago and also the gap that may still be there in the social pressures for both a male and a female within the gym uh before we dig into it man check out my twitch stream it's going on almost every single day if you guys like video games or if you want to talk fitness you want to talk life sometimes we're just there hanging out i got a brand new podcast every wednesday 50 facts that goes into detail on specific topics for each question that we try to answer within the podcast weekly with the world's leading experts so be sure to check that out on spotify itunes etc let's see if we get a thousand likes on this video new video every monday uh thursday i appreciate you guys this dive in um so basically i found an article online sometimes i'm just searching around often on twitch actually and we're talking to the boys we're talking to the crew um and we kind of just have a discussion between uh chat and myself uh and i haven't gone over this one in specific but it's from a similar website i'm not going to link the website or anything like that um but basically they start talking about gender gaps in the gym um and women not being confident to go into the gym and it goes into a different couple different uh cultural things but basically they list a couple of different lifters a couple of different athletes that grew up with no sport background nothing of that nature um and and they talk about never even once thinking about i'd go into the weight room they'd see guys lifting with their cut offs and and being so intimidated that they would never feel comfortable going in there with that testosterone filled room and they interview a couple ladies that kind of felt that way up until their early or mid 20s and then eventually either found a different uh inspiration from a teacher or a lifter or a coach that was into powerlifting or something uh some type of training uh heavy training and that really inspired them and they and they dove deep into that and on my personal experience you know i preach powerlifting not because i want to be a world record holder or i love competing in powerlifting i preach powerlifting because i do think it's one of the best activities for everybody for uh confidence for uh health um for healthy hobbies and community um to be able to train day in and day out under a very monotonous uh sport to be honest um really trains you mentally and physically and again obviously the resistance training itself has numerous health benefits that can help so many different people um and it's easily addicted and i think it's good for the mind also as soon as you can start to focus on performance being an athlete having fun and progressing in the gym rather than measuring your stomach and body fat and worrying about those things right here it says uh i'm not gonna mention names i don't know if they want to be known or not but they uh said this lady definitely isn't the only woman to feel a sense of gym intimidation if you ever set foot in a broy weight room and suddenly felt like everyone was judging you you know the feeling but it's not it's not just a matter of making women self-conscious reachers to argue experiences like this contribute to a gender gap and physical activity levels that harm women it says globally women are less likely than men to get enough exercise 57% of men ages 18 and over recommend aerobic activity levels versus 49% of women according to the data uh from the center of disease control when it comes to the number of people who meet guidelines for both aerobic and muscle strength and activity the gap widens further marginalizing groups have it even worse in recent studies young black women were the least likely group to report any physical activity and even the discriminatory policies trans and non-binary people face in sport and gym environments experts suspect that their exercise participants race are even lower and i think that this kind of goes both ways i think that it mentions earlier in this article that women have the most social pressure to look a certain way or be a certain weight or have the most internal dialogue about their weight and bodies whether it be body dysmorphia etc etc and i think to extend it does but i think on the opposite that these stats are increased because men also feel um the the the social pressures right all guys know like all i'm supposed to be the big burly guy with the big bicep and the big long beard bunch of tattoos that makes me a man and although you know it's 2019 a lot of us understand that that sounds so stupid and lifting weights doesn't make you tough it doesn't make you a fighter it doesn't make you a man it just makes you healthy and really good at lifting a socially constructed barbell with weights on there perfectly made for you to lift um i do think that men from an early age kind of get that vision from the world or society and that's why it's more likely that men lift weights from ladies well the the the the stigma around there is still that men aren't attracted to muscular women and muscular women don't be a dude only must dudes have muscles etc etc and to break it down quite frankly you know it's okay and i see this on the internet you know shout out to the homegirls Steffi Cohen uh you know meg squats i've been friends with them for many many years and and i love what they do for the sport and i love what they do for the sport in general but i also obviously love what they do for women in the sport uh and women not in the sport that that that shows them it's okay to lift weights and it's okay to do whatever the hell you want to do despite what these people are putting on you it's okay in this world to have sexual preferences and it's okay to have what you like and what you don't like what's not okay is to mention that on instagram every single day to mention it on youtube every day and comment like they freaking care you going on meg squats thing and telling her she's jacked and that's gross is so stupid it's okay to not have a sexual preference if you're not sexually attracted to women that have muscle that's absolutely fine that's between you and who you may try to date or find in a mate for you to tell to portray that a project that on meg is not okay that's absolutely stupid the old school thing right like guys you like brunettes or you like blondes it's okay that you're more attracted to blondes that's totally fine what's not okay and this doesn't happen even though it's the exact same thing you just did on the internet you don't go up to every brunette on the street or that you see in the mall or that you see in the bar and say you're brunette that's gross i'm not attracted to that you you would never do that and it makes zero sense to do that because that woman that person doesn't care if you like brunettes or not in the same fact cares for a confident woman like meg like stephie like numerous others on the internet or in real life they don't care that you don't like their muscles they didn't build their muscles their strength their confidence for you and so for you and i know a lot of you guys watching aren't these people because the people that are watching are more informed they're more into the sport and they're more open minded in my opinion that are likely to seek out hopefully my content and the content of someone like stephie or meg and i'm just using them as examples because i've seen it across the board on on the internet and it's just absolutely stupid and some people on the internet even say that like oh you dyed your hair blonde gross no one cares what you freaking think you know what i mean it's absolutely stupid you would never say that to someone on the street so why are you projecting and throwing your opinion on them um side rat anted but it just really pissed me off uh what so what's the responsibility of the gym gap the answer is complex but a major factor is that active spaces are plagued by gender specific deterrents that encourage women to stay on the sidelines we're going to dig into that into the second and i know all this sounds kind of negative and man we're not open and don't let girls train and and there are always things that we can fix and progress and i think this hopefully is going into it we're going to dig in there but i have noticed over the last 10 years both males and females are more comforting of each other in the gym and less judgy there's still of course the guys grunting in the corner you know curling 10 pound dumbbells doing their thing and judging everybody in there but i have noticed going to similar commercial gyms over the last 10 years and i've been to hundreds if not thousands of gyms in my travels with podcasting etc over the years there are way more people focusing in on strength focusing in on performance and way more ladies in the free weight section now in 2019 than back in 2007 when i started really taking training seriously for starters women are more likely than men to experience weight stigma which can discourage women from the going to the gym and even the doctor's office there then there's the issue of harassment as in most public places women experience in gyms and on hiking trails and running routes are often marred by harassment while running in a busy plate park while running in a busy park in salt lake city shana 26 was followed by a man in his car he would park watch her run past drive up ahead and park to watch her i mean that's just next level of harassment and i know what happens in and me because i'm male and in different situations i've never experienced that but that's insane to me and it absolutely sucks if and we can't as a group of lifters as a group of content creators as a community here on youtube we can't really control how weird the world is because the world is so freaking big but what we can control is what happens within the weight room within the gym and we can make sure situations like this aren't going to happen we can make sure that we're comforting and freaking just be normal in the weight room to allow women to feel comfortable in the weight room so they don't um i have to go out there and be harassed and i understand they should 1000 and billion percent be able to go for a run a jog and not think twice about creepy guys on the street following them watching them whistling at them making comments at them but on a smaller picture and i can't control that none of us can if we could i would snap and eliminate all these creepers from the freaking world so all the women felt safe doing any activity they wanted to do but what we can do i think a small step is us we have a lot of guys here a lot of ladies here that are into the gym we can make everybody feel more comfortable in the gym obviously it's a smaller scale than what's going on out there and this goes back to my point of just being freaking normal even in the gym um i've seen tons of cute girls in the gym you guys have seen a bunch of different humans you're attracted to in the gym don't stare don't go talk to him don't go hit on him let them do their workout in peace you do your workout in peace and if the stars align and you see him later at a bar then it's your time to freaking ask him on a date or something like that but in the gym let's all just focus on ourselves focus on getting better and leaving the rest of the uh freaking people alone i wonder if this is actually freaking oh my god i thought stefie was in this article because it says stefanie cohen but it's spelled differently this person's a university nodding him in the united kingdom i was about to say this is sick i'm talking about homegirl stefie and she's an article one of the discouraging factors keeping women from working out is hiding in plain sight the actual designs of most gyms and social attitudes they were forced if you close your eyes and think of the gym the imaginary that off the imagery that often comes to mind is vividly gendered says stefie cohen phd and assistant professor at the university of nodding him in the picture weight racks dominated by sweaty dudes while women are correlated yeah corralled near the cardio machines and stretching areas i've often uh been the only woman working on the room of 15 to 20 men and i think a lot of ladies probably watching here uh have have felt very similar um that the but but but we can change that we can change that the guys that are in the weight room can be more welcoming they can be uh more normal they can be less aggressive you you're not a tough guy because you're freaking lift weights uh you can be more nurturing to the fact that the weight room and free weights should be for everyone not all of us can play in the nba not all of us can play uh competitive athletics as we get older into our 20s and 30s but all of us can lift weights and get better um for ourselves and that's the most important thing here uh i read this article earlier today maybe even yesterday uh and it just really kind of hit the home on what a lot of us i think already know and already believe uh and then i started just remembering training in the gym in 2007 and what that landscape looked like compared to now and although we've made progress we still have a good way to go because this article is brand new and there's obviously still ladies out there that feel intimidated or don't feel comfortable in the gym and that's on some of us uh i think it's on the lady also a little bit to to step up and just say screw it i don't care i'm gonna go work out but it's on a lot of us to be more welcoming more helpful and less creepy uh to allow people to do what they want to do within the gym so hopefully um those are just my thoughts man comment below what you guys think on the topic i know it's a big old social picture and a big societal issue here and it's probably different state to state let alone country to country um but those are some things that i've noticed here and i am lucky enough to grow up uh in certain areas in california where things are a little bit perhaps open more open minded and open than than other places in the world so i do understand that but even within my little bubble of my life i have noticed a difference so i think we're heading the right direction but there's still a way to go i appreciate you guys hopefully you enjoyed the video man be sure to give it a thumbs up i'll catch you in the next one sound like i'm out
