we go into detail about london we can't say everything so last week nashley had nadine
bag it on incredible episode yeah so good i i just love her do you know what i loved about is
that she just didn't give a shit she didn't and you know what i just so confident yeah just so
confident and i think as well like she speaks about um she spoke about aging quite a bit which
i love to talk about like i think there's just this stigma in like the media you have to be a
grown-up yeah that you're like basically past it if you're like if you're over 40 that you're
past it and it's like no you're not and she said something my favorite thing well she said a couple
of things but i liked the bit when she was like girls in your 20s with their 12 step skincare
routine she's like you should just be going out and getting pissed and i'm like i love this i know
and shagging yeah shagging yeah yeah no i really liked her um but we had a gorgeous day me and
christina in london um it was just like all over the place really so we got on the train had an
quite a hectic train journey there it seemed to be extremely busy the train um and we were sat
with our backs uh which i've never had that before you know sometimes on a train like my
friends are like oh no i can't say that way and i'm like i'm not asked we both sat that way and
we both literally i nearly had to take myself off and be sick yeah i don't know what yeah it was
just very hot we saw fit guy yeah we were like oh hello uh yeah went to london did nadine did
your bonus episode which do you want to talk about because you cried on there i cried there's so much
more to say on that and i do want to go more into all of that but i think that is all you're getting
for now guys go and listen to the bonus because i felt emotionally drained afterwards yeah it was a
i've never seen you cry i know i have i no i might have done no not like that no that was proper cry
yeah i've never seen you like yeah get emotional about something to do with like your life um yeah
so yeah listen to last week's bonus episode on apple subscription or patreon but um and then
this week's bonus we'll talk a little bit more about guys some of the questions that you ask
which one a bizarre which ones no just like i don't know like like does ed give you an allowance
but then the same person at the same time i've said ask me whatever you want so you can't
is the same person who wrote that then wrote like a normal generic question about skin care
yeah yeah can we tell them about the man that chatted me up
Oh my God, I completely forgot about that.
Right, yes, this is a good story, go on, tell it.
So we're sat outside Sexy Fish, having a fig and a wine.
That is gorgeous, gorgeous scenes.
We had a bottle of Lady A.
Nice weather.
Nice weather.
It was about four or five o'clock.
And we're sat on a little table outside Sexy Fish
in Mayfair in Berkeley Square.
And just out of nowhere, this guy comes over
and he was like hey and we were like hey
what did he say your hair looks nice or something no he was just like can i say
you look absolutely beautiful and then it was really funny i bless him it was really funny
because he said it and it just took us back he said it's ashley obviously and then and then he
looked at me and he goes yeah and you are too okay whatever and then he was like he thought
you were foreign yeah um i started then i was like hello yeah and then he was like whoa you're
not foreign and i was like no and then he was like but you are to christina yeah and then straight
away so i was wearing my ring and he was like wow you must be married to a rich guy yeah and it was
a bit like passive aggressive it was a bit and i think i said oh but she's a rich lady
going at him like she works she works and i was just like christina stop making conversation with
him fucking really were you no just like people like that like and then he was just like you know
i don't believe in the apps that's why you can't blame me for coming and trying and coming over
and we were like yeah okay get it love the confidence do you know what i actually really
like he wasn't he wasn't horrendous but he wasn't like let's just say he wouldn't be your type
but it depends how much money he had in the bank that's true but the confidence was there elevated
him from a from a sort of a five to um he was mid yeah yeah he elevated him up a couple of
no it didn't can i give you my stance on this whenever it's like oh my size in the street and
then you're like no go away oh fuck off you slagged him on your fucking number anyway
that kind of person i always think right you knock on 10 doors one will answer and i always
just think those kind of guys where like you're sat in the car and they're like wind the window
down give me a number or whatever i always think how many girls have you done that i agree with
that 100 agree with that but then at the same time what if you are the only girl and you hurt
their feelings by then because it is it's a compliment when guys come over i agree with that
but this guy i felt i think he had him i felt quite genuine i felt like it was quite genuine
i don't know i didn't deep it but it was intense right okay let's we were crying yeah we were we
loved it like because just just because we know that we could still do this yeah but let's say if
he was fit and your type and you weren't married would you have given him your number yeah okay
what's like your best chat up line you've had in a bar i mean i chat up lines are dead now no one
uses chat blinds no no one talks to anyone now they do on hinge they say stuff like all the same
good morning beautiful here's a rose or whatever yeah it'll be like hey you okay or something like
that but if someone slid into your dms what would you want them to say uh
hmm i don't know something like personal to me so i knew that they'd maybe had a look yeah
do you know what i mean um but like it must be hard being a man having to like think of all of
this shit to say and then also like imagine how much that would knock your confidence
someone rejecting you in a mean way yeah awful i i do i do like the confidence of someone going up
to you and talking to you but i do get that sometimes if it comes across in the wrong way
you do think you've done this to a million girls like i'm not special in this scenario and i've had
it in a bar where i felt really special i turned around and then i see them going to each girl
yeah yeah yeah that's the thing i mean i don't really go out anymore well i did well no when i
was young yeah yeah but um oh do you know where i went on friday um i went to dear say we ended up
in dear sailor were you out with work people no no no i was with two of my friends from leicester
came oh yeah up which was lovely we went to phoenix for dinner yeah which was really nice
yeah we went to the ivy for a drink with 20 stories for drink and then we ended up in
and we were home really early but we were sort of sat in there watching outside bit of
just chatting but when i walked past i was like what that there was a few fit men kind of i mean
there's always yeah a few fit men in there but and they're like young fit men yeah i mean like
guys get over there but i went to that acasa opposite dear sailor yeah their new
yes used to be or whatever we had a limelight and julie perry like lunch thing for all the
limelight um members a lady's lunch it was absolutely stunning can we book to go yes
because the food was like sensational the drinks were beautiful and the the setting like the the
decor and then they opened up the roof because the sun came out and i felt like i was on holiday
oh that's nice oh beautiful let's do maybe like drinks in the summer yeah after a record 100%
the so just on the london thing yes i was thinking when we were there if you're single
and you look want a guy what are you looking for a guy you have a look that is a good place to go
london i think with your friend around sort of where we were sat outside people watching
you know doing quite well for themselves if they're living in london and i i felt like it was
you know when you go on holiday and stuff and you just feel like people are a bit more like
responsive to you and feel like people could have more of a chat with you when i'm in right
one about manchester we did feel a little bit unsafe at times though did you in london with
like having your phone out and so many people have had their phone snatched i feel like that
in manchester though as well oh should we shout out uh one of the party listeners oh yeah we met
her on the train yes last train back on a friday yeah we had our tinnies yeah um she was lovely so
sweet i didn't get home till like half 12 yeah i was i felt i'm not gonna lie i felt rough the
next day yeah well i had a baby shower the next day um and i just carried on um but yeah no we um
we had a lovely time in london i enjoyed that we need to get more guys if you've got any ideas for
guests please send them in um i also guested last week on someone else's podcast yeah she's not
launched it yet but i'll share all the details and that was a really nice thing to do being a
guest on someone else's but if you can think of any guests and like not just like someone totally
random it needs to be a friend of the pod yeah because we don't get guests on often and when we
do it's got to be a reason for we get offered people to come on as guests quite a lot but then
we have to have the right vibe we want to bring you the vibes guys like what like if we just sit
here i'm like huh yeah so yesterday you saw lauren no was it yes saturday sorry saturday you saw
lauren and tommy tommy we call him tommy tommy um yes she we got a video of me meeting him
yes when are you posting that i don't know that's a lauren jobby so what where is she
gonna put that on patreon uh i'm not too sure we'll ask her later but yeah i know the baby's
dead cute really good baby she came around well i'll wait till she comes in to tell the story
yeah so yeah so today we're just gonna run through some questions yes so we did well i say we did
some questions on the last bonus but it was um we kind of there's a bit like we strayed mom we
strayed away from that and we just did a whole little deep dive into your time with sasuke's dad
and being a single mum so listen back to that um but we did get so many questions and these
questions here were kind of more like career and I'd say like beauty stuff but loads of people
asked about cosmetic consult and they want to know the kind of story behind it best advice for
starting your own business so just give us a little bit of an overview of that it has to be
something that you are so passionate about so like Christina said because I think we hadn't
known each other that long when I launched it and I gave her someone she was like it's a load of
shit no no no right I didn't say it was a load of shit I was just like I was scared of it I thought
because I was like tell me what you honestly think no no no I was scared of it I was like oh no I'm
not very like into doing like I thought it was some like home peel like and I'd have to do all
this like hocus pocus stuff at home and i was like oh i don't know what i'm doing and then i was like
oh my god it's just it's a wipe i was like i can i can do it oh have you i used it um the weekend
that's beautiful yeah i've used it like continuously for like three weeks gorgeous i've
got some pictures actually i need to show you um so so go on tell us i want to know everything i
don't think we've really spoken about this when did you come up with the idea oh god how did you
do it the time frames are just like it's been going on for literally years so it has to be
like i said something that you're really really passionate about and you have experience and
knowledge on and as well i can honestly say i've tried most things yeah and it needs to be something
quite unique because as Nadine said this whole beauty makeup hair industry the cosmetic industry
shall we say is her words were drenched and that's true but then at the same time there is room
for something that you believe in if you're ready to work hard and you're gonna have to have some
money behind you because if you want it to be set up the way that you want it you know I could
have started it years ago but it wouldn't have been boom right everything needs to align how did
you even think so you thought to yourself I want to do a skincare product I want it to be easy
I feel like you kind of knew the ingredients you wanted to do but where do you even start to think
right how do i get this made so basically i just knew exactly what i wanted and i had so many
different ideas there's a video on my instagram where my socials team were like you need to start
documenting everything now because one side of it is you know i am just a girl from manchester that
has started a skincare rate well it will be arranged soon but um so i'm going in i'm starting
my youtube channel amazing where i'm documenting behind the scenes little snippets and some of it
i'll put away for when a product launches and i'll show you how i made it and some of it is like day
in the life so i've got a good mix but there's on this video i'll show you when i first started
my idea was that it was called facial in a box oh okay but it is actually that do you know that's
what Nadine Baggett um said yeah yeah and the branding was blue bright blue wow okay that's
how did you make that u-turn honestly and then I think that I just like sat on it for ages because
I went off I had babies blah blah blah blah blah and I was like no this is not going to work
did you always know it was going to be a pad and yeah always um an obvious that look that was that
was my first we're gonna have to share this no look at it i'll put it on we're gonna have to put
it on somewhere so it's bright blue it says cosmetic consult one step to flawless skin
facial in a box is that that looks like it's that looks like that awful yeah awful and the blue is
blue is blue but it's not like even a trendy blue it's no it's so it's awful so then i
caught on board with my business partner and basically i went into his office one day because
i wanted to start a range of organic tampons yes i remember yeah i know remember you when
you were quite obsessed with this i'm obsessed with organic period stuff and it not only that
