crunch on top of smoothies oatmeal yogurt and sometimes like we even just take a little handful out of the bag it's so good they have a new one called the chocolate sea salt probiotic granola it is so good and there's also flavors like maple almond butter chocolate peanut butter honey almond blueberry hemp so you can get 25 off your first order on all purely elizabeth products by using the code LADYGANG.

Podcast one presents the Lady Gang, the Hollywood girl posse with Lady Gang Quickie. Here's Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek. Let's make this quick.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the Lady Gang. I am Becca here with Jack and Kelty. okay picture this did you okay all right you're you've drawn a warm bath and you have your little you know wooden bath collector thing wood that you can put your book up on your table your bath table and on your bath table is four different face masks a hair mask a razor for your face your Kindle, Netflix, a can of LaCroix or wine or beer, and a big, a big bowl of pasta. What? And you have that eucalyptus bubble bath and you are feeling like everything is right in the world. I was so inspired the other day when I did this. A pasta, RuPaul's drag race. Pasta is the weird part. Face, face, oil, hair, oil, eucalyptus bath is a game changer. And then

I thought this is how I deal with stress or this is how I get myself like put back together. And we've never talked about how we put ourselves back together. So that is what this is. Welcome to the Lady Gang Spa. Oh, wow. I didn't think it was going there. Also, I'm still really caught up on the pasta. Like I can't get past. Pasta in the bath is a strange, strange choice. It is. Is it hot? Was it a red sauce pasta? No, it's a basil pesto, which I'm growing basil now and I'm making basil pesto every week and it's so good. It's a light pasta. Okay. All right. So what I was thinking about is I realized that there's these certain rituals that I have for myself when I'm feeling grimy or gross or maybe bloated or stressed out or not sexy or like,

you know, any of those like negative personality emotions. And there's a way that I put myself back together. And my way is always like taking an evening, making the lights down and then like a bath. If I do like a multi-step face oil, like exfoliating my skin, like all that kind of stuff, like at home spa moment with like just a bath, you know, that kind of thing. And I know that that is a luxury that not everyone gets. Cause they're like, I have children or like I work three jobs, but, um, I was going to ask you guys, like when you get that way, how do you put yourself back together? Well, I learned from my therapist that when you have a bad day taking a shower, no matter what time it is, just going in and there's something about energetically cleansing.

And when you're in there, you are consciously thinking I'm going to wash away the griminess or the negativity or the whatever that is. So that always helps me with a reset. And since I feel like a piece of shit almost every day, I pretty much do that every day. I think also when you do this, because I also agree about the shower thing, you have to wash your hair because i've tried to do it and just a body wash and there it's like then all the negative bullshit just goes right back up into your hair so you need to do a full full body wash full body wash it's like pluck the eyebrow check out the nipple hairs like i just found a nipple hair that's the longest one i've ever seen by the way

actually no i didn't find it jared spotted it from like three feet away from me what did he say been there he just goes nipple hair and then i'm like yeah right and i look at it i'm like that is two inches long oh wow your hair growth is your natural blonde do you grow dark is your yeah it's it's they're black hairs it's the same my bikini line is dark and then i guess the it's the same with the boobs anyways wow well there's a difference between when i'm feeling physically bad, ugly or whatever that is, or emotionally, I'll go with my emotionally bad because it's also pretty common. I have started to meditate more often and that actually does help me a lot. I'm somebody who, and if I'm in a really bad state and I can't sit there and

meditate because sometimes you're really spiraling and you can't get into the quiet place as hard as it is. And my, it's something my mom has known about me my whole life. I'm just a physical person. I have got to move my body and no matter what is happening, I feel better. Even if it's a walk or a 10 minute obey video, whatever it is, physical stuff really gets me out of a rut. I love that um mine well one thing that I started doing that is the simplest thing in the entire world but since COVID and I'm it's like doing these little tiny self-care moments during your day that make yourself feel a little better is just moisturizing I never moisturized my body before before COVID ever I didn't even own body lotion and now it's been this little ritual that

I'll do after I shower. That's giving myself just a little bit of a something extra that when you feel moisturized, I mean, you feel at least 5% better. You feel unstoppable. And if you get down on your heels, your dry heels, I want to shave a nice, you feel like a seal. I have a moisturized seal. I, my best friend from childhood will not miss a day of shaving her legs. No, I don't miss a day. I don't miss a day because, and it's not because I want to be hairless. I get really itchy when my hair starts growing. And if I put on a legging or a pant and it rubs up against my stubble and because I've been taking so much Nutrafol, my hair or my legs grows. I have a five o'clock shadow right now and I shaved this morning, but I need to shave every day. And that's, yeah,

the whole, the whole show. I like to see how long my knee and ankle hair can get before it becomes a problem the ankle hair is just the back when you're like ankle hair the back and you're like oh i got everything but you for the last four weeks obviously yeah around your achilles tendon the tillies the tillies yeah you don't have hair there no oh you're so weird sorry um you must be an only show it's all on my nipples no i was gonna say i'm gonna add one thing onto your lotion jack that is a game changer is one of those like the dry brush the dry brush a dry brush with coconut oil up your boobs and up your chest like you know you're supposed to dry brush to your heart yeah but with a dry brush with coconut oil is no longer a dry brush you're

i put the coconut oil and then i brush on top of the coconut oh it's amazing i like to you feel so energized and i brush all my boobies and my bum all the way up all of it goes to your heart oh feels so good wow didn't know yeah um i have this is the self-care for me has only started during covid because i feel like i was i would always just go and do something because distraction for me is what i need when i'm feeling shitty that now i haven't had in a year so the self-care has been new i have been doing so much yoga recently and for me i've always shied away from exercise. Cause I have a really bad connotation with it recently with not recently, but in the past because of my obsession with like body image and all this kind of stuff.

So now is the first time that I've ever moved or exercised for myself to feel better because it was always about losing weight. It was always about what my body looked like. And now it has nothing to do with it. And like Becca said, I mean, now all we have is movement when there's nothing else to do so i've really fallen back into yoga which i which i love and i actually feel a little bit productive when we come back i have a big question for you okay oh my gosh one of my favorite sponsors and one of our oldest sponsors they've been with us since the beginning of lady gang is back on board third love i love third love so much and they're all about revolutions not resolutions this year you know 2021 is your time to shine so focus on what makes you happy

I was going to say that whole thing about exercising and not attaching it to the results of losing weight or getting fit or whatever your fitness goals are, a really good way to tap into it. And I discovered this during COVID. I would do some sort of exercise class, whether it's yoga or sculpt or whatever, where your blood is pumping and your body's moving and blah, blah, blah. You finish the workout, lie down on your back and just be

so still. And there is a literal vibration all down your body, everything, everything. It's almost like being on mushrooms. It's a weird, and I know this is so crunchy and strange, but if you do that at the end of the workout, to me, that's become sort of a goal is to get to that place where you're so grounded and you're so connected, but you're feeling this weird drug-induced energy. Well, it's Shavasana at the end of yoga. Yeah. But I never got there. Shanasava or whatever it's called is so stressful for me. it's so stressful but that's why it's supposed to be the hardest yoga pose it's true here's the most important pose and I was like I'm thinking about chicken wings like I just always felt

shame that I got through this whole class and then I couldn't relax but that's the point and it's like yeah you I mean I would do that too when I used to go to yoga classes I'd be like I'm gonna sit here for five breaths and there are the longest five breaths that I can ever take and especially with hot yoga too because your blood I'm your blood is pumping yeah so it's so good to feel that i that that's a really good point becca to actually feel the result of what you're doing instead of just kind of throwing it away afterwards you feel alive feel alive um do you have a favorite uh 2021 product you've discovered i started using my and i bought this in 2020 the dennis gross led mask i bought it in 2020 and i started at the very beginning of covid yet again

because I'm like self-care and I, it gave me eczema, but I think what really gave me eczema was being stressed out about COVID. So I started using it again and my skin's great. I've been using it every single night. And I love making that, like you said, Kelsey, like the whole routine of it all, because it takes a couple minutes and it makes your routine longer. But I, I really like the, um, what, what's the word I'm looking for? Ritual. Ritual. The ritual of doing it now i also have that mask how are you washing it oh i haven't washed i know that's my worry is like i put on my face and i do you're supposed to put you should do dry skin yeah you i'm sure you could wipe it off with like a wipe yeah you're supposed to use it on clean clean dry skin and then

what there's three settings are you doing red blue or like the middle the both i don't know trying to get the most red is for aging and fine lines and blue is for acne right yeah but you can do them both together right do them together from dr diamond told me to do it for like 30 minutes she's like this the roundabout amount that they were cleared to put it into like mass market is not going to really do anything so you gotta just leave it on for a while interesting she told me Becca do you have a product of love um well yeah I well mine isn't so much a product but I got the Theragun mini oh my god $200 one and I have so much tension in my neck and shoulders because I sleep on my stomach and I just my neck up left and right all the time I love it and they

have a they have a soft pad that you can switch out the hard because the hard is more muscular for your body but then you can do the soft pad on your face like your jaw yes it is very strong yeah it's super strong but that soft pad gives it the gentleness that you need for your face and you know whatever wherever you also you want like tender touches do that as soon as this podcast it's paragon is the oh game changer as far as products go i will say necessaire is the the brand i've always loved them their body lotion jack you might be into this it has the same kinds of active ingredients as face shit that we put on for your skin so i when i started to use it i was thinking i put all this attention in my face skin right and all these vitamins and active ingredients

and then i use normal whatever moisturizer on my body but now i'm doing necessary and i'm putting all the it's like skincare for your body see i was always wondering about this brand because they have beautiful packaging packaging like it looks so lost lux it's like an asap kind of feel yeah packaging and it's not cheap so i was like is this like one of those yeah scammy beautiful brands that like doesn't actually work so i'm glad to hear that does they're good live your healthy what's your product well i've been trying a lot of different things i don't know why and i actually have been feeling like the most ugly i've ever felt so it hasn't been a great um but your hair is so luscious my hair is it's it needs it i'm ready for a color

yeah like i'm ready for a fresh color like it's just like a little dishwasher is this all your hair right now yeah you want to see hold on let me take your headphones off it looks lion luscious did you air dry it this is i just slept on it oh look at you it's massive it's volume big um so So, but, um, I would say that I have restarted using my new face. So, you know, the, the little electrode thing, I got it years ago when it first came out and I was like, pre neck surgery, pre everything. And I was like, this is not that strong. It's not going to be great. But then when I was at golden door, they were like, they offered as an add on for like $200 to like new face your face. And I was like, well, it must do something. And then I started looking at the

bloggers. And I was like, okay, maybe. So I put it beside my toothbrush and I'm trying to do like one little session every night. Now, do you drag it or you just do the dots? I drag. Oh, you drag. See, I don't think I'm using anything correctly. You've got to watch a YouTube video. Okay. I'll try again. But anyway, so that's mine. Well, listen, I would encourage all of our lady listeners to take just 10 minutes and like do a body brush or nice lotion or do 10 jumping jacks because life is stressful and I do think it's important that we take a minute. Oh, I just thought of a really good affordable product. What? Pixie at Target, that brand, the under eye patches. Oh, they're so good. Oh, they are like, I mean, I think that they're the green tub. They're

amazing. I think that they're like one of the best rated anythings. People are obsessed with them. I have some in my bathroom right now. So when you're escaping your family at Target, ladies, pick some up. Treat yourself. Treat yo self. Treat yo self. Alright, well, we weren't here for a long time. We were here for a spa time. Spa day.
