Hi, I'm Barbara aka your nursing educator on Instagram. I'm a registered nurse and I make content that's all about helping nursing students thrive. One of the first and easiest things I tell nursing students, if you haven't already done so, upgrade your scrubs to figs. Out with these stiff boxy scrubs, in with the ridiculously comfy well-designed figs that were specifically designed with us in mind. They're super soft, lightweight, and breathable with four-way stretch and moisture wicking fabric that keeps up during long shifts. Pockets are exactly where you need them, the fit feels modern and tailored, and they hold their shape wash after wash. Whether you're in class, at clinical, or working the floor, you deserve scrubs that work as hard as you do. Go to

wearfigs.com and use code FIGSCA for 15% off your first order. That's wearfigs.com, code FIGSCA. Hey guys, the following podcast is a Lady Gang Network and Podcast One production, which means it's going to be awesome. it's time for a quickie 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 and welcome to the lady gang i am becca here with jack and kelty hello hello Colty's wearing a robe it's 100 degrees out okay no I have recently returned to robe life oh I was a robe fifth sixth grade you know like when you have your princess robe

or whatever that was the last time you were into robes no yeah and then like I'm in a robe at the spa or whatever and I'm at the robe like I don't know no that's the only time I'm in a robe and And I've always been a sweatshirt, hoodie kind of girl at home when I'm in comfy clothes or a nice pajama. Well, last year for Christmas, I found a lean and tall robe. You know there's like big and tall stores, but there was like a lean and tall on Amazon robe. It was made for Chris Knight-sized people.

Oh, for Chris. Oh, I thought you were talking about yourself. Me too. You're not that tall. I know. I'm like, I'm taller than you and I'm pretty normal size. Okay. No, I found this, like, extra long, lean, tall robe, and I was like, you know, this would be great for Chris because Chris is a creature of habit, and he refuses to update his chill clothes wardrobe.

He's had the same pair of, like, scrub pants from, like, USC since I've known him, and that's, like, his, like, chill pant. Yeah. Like, he never, and I'll buy him a new sweat pant, and he won't, like, get into it, and I was like, you know what he needs is a big and skinny robe. So I got him the robe, and he wears it all the time. And he's looking so comfortable and amazing. And then he went out of town, and I was cold. So I just threw it on, on a whim. Holy fuck.

Is that what you're wearing? The big and tall? I'm not wearing the big and tall. Oh. A beautiful, cheap, Amazon, what is this, like a faux fleece? Mm-hmm. Satin faux fleece robe. Life-changing.

So I got one for home for me, and then I got one for the office. And when I'm in between outfits, I can just put my robe on. But it's been too hot to wear this robe. It's too much robe content. A minute and 59 seconds of robe content. I do have one last robe thought. The best purchase that I've ever made in my entire life is my Barefoot Dreams robe. That's not a robe.

Yes, it is a robe. That's a onesie. It's a house coat. It's called a robe on the website. It's a house coat. Well, whatever. My Barefoot Dreams house coat. I look like a wizard.

That's what it is. You do look like a wizard. I wear it out. My mom is like, I can't believe you're going outside with this coat or whatever. You look like Mrs. Roper. I feel like Mrs. Roper. But, like, with a belt, it could be fashion. It's not that fashionable.

Barefoot Dreams makes the most legit, cozy stuff. Like, that's all I want. Can they sponsor us? I want them to so bad. I keep asking everyone I know to get me a robe from them, and no one has gotten it for me yet. Get it yourself. They're not that expensive. I just don't like buying myself things like that.

But the thing is that's great is they're blankets that are amazing. It's the same material in the robe. Yeah. And it's just a massive. Do you think they would make us a triplet Barefoot Dreams? I don't want to get in. We could get in it together and do a podcast from it. Ew, that sounds sweaty and nasty.

Who's in the middle? Me! Oh, God. No, whatever. Okay. Anyway, when we come back, by popular demand, we're going to be talking about our AM routines. Oh, morning? Oh.

The Lady Gang. And we're back. So, one of the things that Lady Gang really wants to know about us that we have not shared enough is, like, how we do our mornings and how we do our afternoon. Nights? Not afternoons. Our nights. Okay. So, nights is going to be next week.

But mornings is basically, like, how you do, what you drink, how you prep the night before, how early. No, that would be night. Well, that would be night. Okay, fine. But morning, like. Oh, my God, you guys. Let's not fight, Jack. And, like, our skin care and what we do and all that stuff.

Okay. So, who wants to go first? I don't. mecca will go first okay well are you i could prompt you if you want are you do you set an alarm and get up when the alarm rings no i leave my phone unless it's like a very very early thing like a call time that's like 6 a.m and i have to be up at five um if if whatever i have to do i don't have to leave the house before nine i actually leave my cell phone in the bathroom charged and i wake up when i my eyes open but we don't shut our blinds i don't either so i

automatically am up by like seven ish that's how i am i even if i was like becca you have to be at lady gang at 9 a.m i wouldn't set an alarm i wouldn't know no i can't sleep past 7 30 not setting an alarm do you have this circadian rhythm well that's what happens when you leave your blinds open because i i can't sleep with blackout curtains i have to wake up with the sun so i'm such a hippie just to wake up with the sun yeah i feel the sun on my face yes in the morning do you set an alarm not unless i have to wake up really early because i don't sleep usually past seven because i wake up with the sun this is i mean listen if it's something that's like more important than being at the lady gang at 9 a.m i might set an alarm in my bathroom right so like

i'll be like if i happen to sleep past like eight which would be shocking yeah i'll still be woken up by the alarm going off in my bathroom eventually yeah got it okay but yeah i'm not into sleeping with my phone next to my bed no it's not my jam cool um brains thank you i have blackout curtains and i have them on an app so i can lay in bed and then before i go to sleep i roll them down on the app and they go you're so rich I know it's crazy

it was one of the things Chris wanted in the morning I could even set the timer if I wanted them to wake me up at 8am I could have them go but I don't have that but I now can't sleep without a black curtain I love it so much and I set only one alarm instant wake up

like I'm not a snoozer I'm not like a snooze I can sleep for 10 more minutes It's an early thing. I can't handle. I hate waking up before my body wants to. Okay. Let me rest.

Now, do you A, dress first, B, brush your teeth first? Oh, I brush my teeth first thing no matter what. I brush my teeth before peeing, before anything. Really? I hate morning breath more than anything. I'm like, if Jared wants it, I'm like, no kisses, no nothing, no touching until I brush my teeth. If I'm alone, which I usually am because Zach leaves for work at like 5.30 in the morning,

if I'm alone I pop my Invisalign out yeah I have to take my night guard out and then I actually will do coffee first really I'll do coffee first because I really don't like the taste of coffee after toothpaste because then I'm gonna have to brush my teeth again after the coffee I'd rather just get up drink my coffee I usually if I don't have to be anywhere I'll get back in bed for like 15 minutes i'll get my phone at that point and i'll have my coffee in the bed and i'll like answer emails i'll do whatever from kelty if i'm feeling yeah if i'm feeling really lucky and really luxurious i'll put on housewives and like sit there oh a morning tv wow sometimes i'm a really big fan of a morning tv i can't do it it feels luxurious see i think it makes me feel

uncomfortable it makes me feel like oh my god what a way to set up the day yeah i love it because that's like my ultimate unwind and like but why do you need to unwind you just unwind for 10 hours while you were sleeping you just rose from the dead sometimes i'm about to jump into a crazy day and then it's like i need that your morning meditation it's my morning meditation and then i might go like do yoga or i might go for a run or i might work out on the balcony sometimes i like to get that done and then i shower i'm really very leisurely lately it's nice not having to wake up for anything okay unemployed i'm actually what i'm doing is i'm doing this every single person i know with a child or a baby they're like before enjoy if you think

you're close to having a baby can live it up bitch yeah sleep late as sleep late as stay in your pajamas all day organize your bathroom all day like don't feel guilty so up until about a year ago i used to feel really guilty if i had a day that was not productive i've really been embracing it yep you'll miss the free time yeah one day i mean maybe if i bite the bullet and actually have a baby i could do this for a decade hey oh how's it in the morning um i have perfected the eight minute wake up so from alarm i go next to closet bring the phone with me to the closet so i don't have to make one trip back to the bedroom to my bedside table to pick up the phone on the way out phone comes with me to the closet i dress first have you showered have you brushed

i shower at night oh i haven't made it to the bathroom yet i go dress first leggings shirt sweatshirt usually because i'm like get real dressed at work and i have my purse anything i need to take to work and everything already loaded the night before and i also have my clothes laid out the night before so if i'm wearing leggings in a sweatshirt it's already pre-picked i don't even need to walk to the end of the closet and get them out like i know exactly what i'm gonna where the shoe is ready everything every the purse is packed the only thing is sometimes i'll leave a note for myself downstairs and be like bring the creamer or bring your lunch like on the counter because i can't pre-pack that you know so then i'm dressed then i go then i go to the bathroom

that's when i do my skincare routine floss brush teeth morning medicine floss in the morning morning and night you got to what's happening between when you're after meals what happens at night you floss before you go to bed floss after meals wait what yes no i floss morning and night when i brush my teeth that's but that's so weird what food are you eating while you're sleeping it's just plaque no it's not i'm pretty sure i mean there might be some dentists out there that would say otherwise but i'm now an expert on when you need to floss because these teeth aligners are the bane of my existence and they say only after i've eaten something because that's food in your teeth all right i'm gonna take that out my seven minute routine holla then um i do all that stuff

in case i'm in a huge hurry it's just skin food on my face deodorant teeth brush teeth a brush dry shampoo and i'm out but like then there's more steps if i'm going somewhere fancy and then i go downstairs i grab the coffee i'm in the car eight minutes it takes me 12 minutes to get to work i can get up at 7 30 be at work ready to go by eight look at you go what if there's an accident on your then i text i'm gonna be like there's an accident it's not my fault you know um i'm like jack what about callie do you not take do her stuff in the morning she eats while i'm packing a getting in the coffee i feed her when does she poop she when do you poop i can't when you're always having the afternoon poops that's why you need to give yourself more time in the morning see this is

what I need when I wake up I wake up brush teeth no wake up Keurig make coffee while coffee is making brush teeth while teeth are done coffee's ready then I have to sit in bed for a half an hour while I drink my coffee and let it percolate in my body until I can take a morning poop what do you do for that half hour I like answer emails and go on my computer okay but I can't move out of my bed until I've pooped who turned off their podcast so far okay but next what facial products do you put on in the morning in the morning i think this is what really people meant by morning routine like what's your morning skin yeah i don't think they're like 27 minutes to poop that's i don't think that's what they meant what skincare do you put on the morning i'm gonna wash

my face um i don't wash my face in the morning should i yes i used to not and i actually got broken out less often when i did that oh i have to wash i have so much like sleep on my face yeah I take a shower every morning, though. Oh, a night shower. What about exercising? Like, you don't do it. Life, I actually wake up every morning and I'm like, damn it, I wish I didn't have to exercise because then I would just get in the shower and, like, be ready for my day.

Yeah. Which you should also be looking better, Jack. What do you mean? Because, like, in my wildest dreams, if I want to be the most productive person that I can be, it's like I wake up at, like, five. I work out. I get in the shower and I have time to, like, make myself pretty. Do a scrub.

before going wherever I need to go. But I don't make myself look pretty. That's what I'm saying is you should look better. If you wake up and you immediately hit the shower, I feel like there's no excuse to not look great. I'm still lazy. So what do you do with all that free time? Chill.

I hang out. That's what I want in my life. I think this is what I envision when I have children. I'm going to be that person. I'm going to wake up like Teddy Mellencamp wakes up before the sun. no but that's a personality trait she used to be fat she talks about it she did talk about it she was very lazy she said she was overweight and lazy and then she got into it together yeah it would be so nice to like get a workout done and like also have time to blow out your hair and

then still walk out the door by nine it's just i don't care that much to blow out my hair obviously um okay and um jack what do you put on your face well you wash your face uh wash my face i have some day serum um i use all my products from the girl that does that's my esthetician that does all my facials um eye cream spf uh-huh cooler it's the shit yeah it's good doesn't break you out and that's it what do you put on your face um i actually recently transitioned jackie shimmel told me about a serum she loves it's first aid from sephora and it's like there's cbd or not cbd it's actually i think it's actually like cannabis oh serum and it's amazing oh it's like restorative because i have very sensitive do you put do you do your like um arms

and legs at that point or would you lotion in the morning or no i actually am somebody that does not lotion my body every day i only lotion my body special events for special occasions and if i'm feeling extra dry because i think that my body will start getting used to it and it'll be drier dependent on it like a chapstick it feels so good to lotion your body it does every time after i do it i'm like why the do i not do this all the time i do a lotion and then well this is like night routine this is a different situation but and then the dry brush i gwyneth my body and i'm like i feel so invigorated and happy yeah i should do it all the time i'm gonna do it tonight well it's time for that report back um while we're talking about day routine i do want to

let everyone know that i recently had my face measured what does that mean so they say that you there's i'm gonna screw this up but allegedly there is a roman historical thing that you're supposed to have a 1.61 the ratio ratio of your face and bella hadid was recently named the most beautiful person in the world because she has this ratio she also has had surgeries allegedly allegedly she also for surely has had i mean anybody can have that ratio if you move your face around no actually no you can't because that's what my first question was and you can't move okay so these are the ratios so the ratio is your forehead to your chin you can move that with a chin implant i can't minimize it stop yelling at me i'm gonna explain this all it's

going to make sense questions at the end thank you okay so forehead to chin is supposed to be the same as you're the widest part of your face so in that so you're supposed to be around round yeah it's supposed to be oh no it has to have a 1.6 oh 1.6 yeah so it's like if it's not one to one now what's one to one is in between your eyebrows to forehead eyebrows to bottom of nose bottom of nose to chin that's supposed to be for the maximum beauty one to one to one okay then there's no way my forehead's way too big mine is too my chin is big then next is um okay so the amount your eye is like how wide your eye is mine's four centimeters it's supposed to be the same from eye to eye yeah you're you should be able to break your face your eyeline

into fifths. One, two, three, four, five. This is too visual for a podcast. I'm just explaining my eyes and then, oh, then your ears and your nose. Okay. So your ears and your nose are the only other one that's supposed to be one-to-one. So your nose should be the same length as your ears. All right. So those are the measurements. And I had my measurements done this morning and I'm happy to report that I'm 84% perfect, which I thought was pretty high for my face. good yeah the thing that threw me off was my giant forehead but Tyra Banks has a huge forehead and is a supermodel and that's where I keep my brains so I need a big forehead but my big forehead was off and then my eyes I have four centimeter each eye is four centimeters but the space between my

eyes is only three so my eyes are very close together if they were a little more wide set I'd be prettier interesting what do you think I mean do you want to measure your face how do you measure it i know what are they measuring it with like a ruler literally a ruler for my bujo kit no they had like a special machine but then it was so funny because she took the machine she's like oh no and then she like made people go get a ruler because my forehead was too big for her machine shut up wait your forehead's not big it is not that big this reminds me of like didn't they do the test with i thought symmetry was supposed to be the test of beauty it's really yeah but this is symmetry no it's not no it's not yeah the 1.6 symmetry like the eyes four and four and four i'm

saying the symmetry is if you cut your face in half then mirror it they would look the exact same each side so i know that this is different this is different oh i forgot the lip one which thank you dr diamond my lips were perfectly 1.61 percent lips are top verse the bottom versus the top is supposed to be, the bottom is supposed to be 1.61% fuller than the top. Good for you. Wow. I'm so beautiful. Thank God for fillers.

Thank God. Okay, that's it. Wow. That's the end of the episode. Feeling beautiful. Feeling 84% beautiful. We weren't here for a long time. But we're here for a good time.
