All right, let's get into it real quick. I'm going

to talk about my day for two minutes and then I'm going to get into the Q&A. I'm honestly going to, guys I want to get to bed you guys don't understand how late it is right now okay this is not good I need to discipline myself and not do this right before bed every night but I'm not gonna be able to answer everyone's questions on this Q&A I'm a bad podcast host today today I'm in time out I should not uh get an award for this but um that's what it is I'm gonna answer like 10 questions and then go to bed so quickly about my day I woke up no joke I hate how people always say no joke no joke I was in the best mood of my life I was so happy I was so happy I spent the first I don't know hour or two no hour definitely not two hours Jacqueline who do you think you are

I spent the first hour with no phone. I was like, I immediately woke up, made my bed, made coffee. Then I was going around my apartment, like cleaning. It's Saturday. I was like listening to music. It was great. I just felt really happy. I don't know how else to put it. I just felt really happy today. Because sometimes when you wake up, this is the thing, you might relate to this. Sometimes you wake up and you're just like, you know it takes a while for you to feel like up and happy and upbeat but I was so happy today so I started out started out great um then I checked my phone and went south from there let's be honest um parked my house on the couch well I'm glad I did yoga before that because I kind of did so I

did yoga and listen to music clean drink coffee that type of stuff and then um after that I just like sat on the couch for a good 30 to an hour Saturday morning style. Just like I was looking at guys, I really want a new couch. You don't understand. I've like, I can't find, I will not get the, I will not buy a couch until it's the perfect one. And cause I have a very specific dimension it needs to fill. And I keep, I keep looking and I can't find the right one and I'm dying on this fucking love seat. Uh, yeah. If you're over six foot, good luck laying on my couch. It's not happening. Um, yeah, I have this cute little couch, but I'm like, I need a long ass couch. I can't have a sectional that won't really fit right in here. Cause I have a

doorway, but whatever. I'm looking for a couch. I did that this morning. I like, I don't know. I had a great morning. I don't know. Like that's a, I need to get into the Q and a I could totally talk about my day for three hours, but I'll tell you this. I went to go hiking again today and it was so busy. I got out of my car. I got out of my car. I looked at the amount of bodies going up Torrey Pines and I just turned around and I went on a hike. I was joking with my cashier at Home Goods. I went to Home Goods instead because I needed some pepper. Home Goods has my favorite pepper all the time it's this coarse ground pepper not the kind you use in a grinder not little like McCormick fucking red cap grocery store pepper no this is it's like

it's like eating raw it's like eating sand okay the pepper is that coarse I used to work in a cafe and I was sprinkling that shit all over everyone's avocado toast every morning and there's something about it so I always go to home goods to get it so I figured while I was up there I'll go to home goods whatever look around and I like walked around the store for an hour I didn't I literally bought a pepper but I went I walked up to my cashier and I told her like hey you know I was at Torrey Pines and it was too busy so I thought I'd come here she laughed that's what I did um what else it was a pretty chill day I I don't know what I don't really want to I don't have a lot to update. That's pretty much what happened. I had a great morning, attempted to

go hiking, did not do it. And yeah, that's just what happens. So let's get into the Q and A. I'm pulling up the questions here. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for asking the questions. I think I'm going to go backwards, right? Okay. My Instagram keeps freezing. My phone's dying guys. I don't buy new phones until mine breaks. I'm on the iPhone seven here and it hasn't glitched until like recently, but it's every time I go on Instagram, it freezes. So that's probably a good thing. Okay. How do I find the questions? I have to scroll down. Okay. So I'll start backwards. How many carrots can you eat in one minute? Okay. I, do I go to my fridge and do this right now live? No. Cause then you'll have to hear me crunching. I literally have carrots.

let me just think of okay if I have baby carrots I am I feel like I'm I'm gonna be good at this uh I could probably swallow in one minute baby carrots I had those today how many was I eating like 10 little baby carrots could I do that in a minute how would I practice how would I envision this without doing it on live on the podcast I don't know probably in one minute 60 seconds 30 baby carrots wait okay let's just most okay big carrots I could probably swallow three large carrots in one minute I think or fuck you know I bet I could do five okay so you just like shove it in crunch really fast and swallow whole I could honestly swallow

okay I see why they asked this question I'm moving on all right next question the answer I'm giving you is 30 baby carrots five normal sized carrots all right next question, oh, yeah, okay, oh, here's a good one, I'm not going to do this backwards, I'm just picking and choosing here, do you think you could live off the grid? I mean, could I? Yeah, of course, I would be fine, I'd figure it out, if it was, like, see, that's the thing about it, if I don't have any other choice but to live off the grid, I'm gonna have a great time I'm gonna make the most out of it I'm gonna be on my Lewis and Clark shit um you know off the grid if that was like I have to do it there's no other option I'd switch

into okay I just went from 2021 it's crazy to say that right now I'm like 1860 bitch and you're like okay because I don't know I it would be a challenge but I would do it um I'm not gonna be one of those people in 2021 that chooses to do that but for whatever reason there's some apocalyptic shit that happens and or scary thing that I need to like get off the grid because I'm gonna figure it out um I'm good with building um you know I used to dig bunkers I used to dig a lot of bunkers as a kid uh you know you like look out at the field and you like you're like, I don't see anything there, but I knew it was there. It's a giant fucking hole, the piece of wood over top and some grass on top. No one could tell it was there.

And that was my hiding place. Okay. Uh, that was my little fort. My brother and I were playing in that all the time. Um, we had a little opening so we could breathe, you know, but, uh, I don't know. I'm pretty resourceful with like outdoorsy stuff, pitching tents. I mean, what is it? What is living off the grid and tail I mean water essential you got to figure that out um I honestly don't know how the fuck I would do that if I was by a stream I get one of those filter things for the water like a natural glacial glacial stream fuck I need water speaking of that I'm drinking crystal geyser tonight alpine spring water I'm holding up my gallon jug because I'm degenerate I've been drinking a ton of water lately I'm proud of myself yeah you need water food so yeah if

you're off the grid so you're gonna have to do uh cured meats pickled uh everything pickled cured meats um fishing a lot you're gonna have to shoot an elk once a year or caribou or some shit and then figure out a way to preserve the meat so you're gonna probably yeah do a lot of like that salty what's that called curing shit you like stick it in salt I don't know clothing I mean I'll just take what I have if I had to start from scratch I definitely get some cedar I get a lot of cedar and I would get it really wet I'd soak cedar planks and this is an actual thing I learned in fourth grade about can i say i i'm so scared to say native americans that yeah that's what is that politically correct what they would do in the northwest is they would soak cedar and make

cloth out of it like diapers for their babies and coats and shit they made shoes baskets everything out of cedar so i would i would soak some cedar planks um and like create and then kill a woolly mammoth and then with a spear and then make a coat. No, I do a Buffalo. Excuse me. I'd go out to Yellowstone or some shit. No, I go to Montana. I feel like that's where it would make the most sense to live off the grid. Fucking Montana. Montana. Um, but yeah, I probably could do it. I would need a partner in crime. Of course I'm not doing this alone. Um, I need a whole community. It'd be fun as shit, honestly, to do that for a year. Think of this. You have one life. like, what if you just did it for a year for fun? You know, go, I want to go to like, I was

watching that damn Alaska show again, or what's it called? The last Alaskans my grandpa put me onto. And I'm like, kind of looks nice. It's kind of like easy breezy or just like literally fresh air, open, uh, open forest for as long as you can see snow, animals, cool shelters. yeah hunkering down is fun so next question um why do you put why do you use Vaseline every night and where do you put it so I recently posted about I put Vaseline on my face um as my last skincare step and it's because I follow this esthetician who nerds out about skincare and gets really scientific about it and petroleum jelly or whatever the substance Vaseline is has been around since like the 1800s it's been used

for so many different skin conditions over this last century and it's really safe even though it has this weird name like petroleum like a byproduct of oil you know so I think a lot of people are freaked out when I say I put that on my face but okay it works that's all I'm going to say the reason it works is this and I tested it so well it's hard to test it like you need a you really need a microscope to understand what this does but it's impossible for moisture to leak out once you put it over your skin so it's a barrier it's like a water barrier it pers like every so that's what happens with your skin throughout your life like it dehydrates it loses its collagen elastin whatever that stuff is and especially when I'm in a dry hot area I need to retain

moisture right so it's it's like a seal so what I do is I put it um and then I here's the thing I've known a lot of like older women who say that's what they've put on their face forever and you look at their skin like some older women have the most like baby soft skin and I swear they're using Vaseline and this esthetician she's like yeah La Mer is expensive Vaseline like that La Mer like $400 night cream everyone uses that smells amazing like that's pretty much what Vaseline is Vaseline's like two dollars so whatever I'm I'm into it it's also an Asian skincare uh cult thing they do which I'm always like interested in what they're doing over there because they have great skin and they really take care of their skin like like it's like a

it's like a religion over there like straight up so I yeah I kind of trust what they're doing but uh what I do is like recently I've been doing I have um niacinamide is that my first ingredient I put on so I wash my face with like a just a plain um what's it called it's not Cetaphil it's like a Cetaphil type of like a basic uh oh do you guys want to know about skincare episode what is this question question answer 13 I don't know I feel like I'm going in too much detail I use a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil it's not that it's like that but it's not it's not that okay and then I uh do okay I either do a glycolic acid toner type thing if I'm not doing that I'm doing retinol but before that I do niacinamide which helps redness and acne and it's like really

good for your skin it's a really good ingredient do niacinamide then I'll do like okay let's just say retinol and then after retinol I put over a basic moisturizer like a night cream just a simple like plain one thick you know and then after that I let my face kind of set in like I let all that stuff kind of sit in my skin for a bit and then I go over with Vaseline and you kind of have to dampen your face before you put it on and you would think this is why I'm amazed by it you would think it gets all over your pillow slimes all over your clothes gets everywhere and it doesn't it doesn't fucking move and it doesn't like come off even when you touch it it's just like it just feels like your skin is smooth and the reason I think I've mentioned this before on

the show um oils always seep into my eyes and I hate that when I wake up I always feel like blinded and I just like get annoyed by oil oil and it does get all over your pillow and shit like oil's really hard to, it's, it's amazing. I like it during the daytime, but Vaseline is, it's my shit. I could go into the science of it. I could like look it up right now, but y'all know I need to do this short and sweet because bedtime is coming close. And yeah, I don't know. You know what? When you do the seven days a week, some days are like this and it's been like this. You know what? The winter has been tough. The winter has been tough. I went home for a month, sat in my mom's kitchen every night I went here's the thing I went from every morning bright and early took a

shit ton of notes funny stuff to talk about all all podcast long uh coffee I was on camera energy I'll be resuming on camera uh Monday by the way on YouTube so Monday through Friday I've done for I think 40 episodes I was on YouTube uh during the week so lately it's just been like a hard winter you know late nights tired of shit like I'm literally sitting in my living room on my couch two candles are lit no lights are on I've got my tv screensaver with those stupid worms that I talked to you guys about the other day they're on my tv that's it and then my laptop like that's literally the setting so whatever um did I finish that question oh yeah I want to get in the science of it but I uh I'll do that another time because um next question top goal for 2021

um I saw this question earlier this morning when someone asked it and honestly I think my top goal because I have so many things I want to do like so many things right I want to keep it simple though I think honestly I just want like a best friend like a girl that I'm like besties with like a couple like I haven't really like I have friends but I don't have like I don't feel like I found best friends you know like it's always like people I like get invited hang out that type of thing but it's not um like we're close necessarily we're just like we go out together like we're just friends that way so I think I'd really like to make a solid girlfriend this year um top goal like what's like a better one to say because like well that's pretty just like social just being

more social getting back out in the world and you know going out and doing fun stuff with people because it's been a really like lonely boring 2020 for me which is in the past and it's currently the second day of 2021. So that doesn't apply anymore. Um, yeah, that's just kind of where I'm at. Like be super social, put myself out there, um, get back into the, the swing of all that stuff. So, um, you know, I, I think I talked about my goals the last couple of podcasts for new years. So go listen back a couple episodes. I think I mentioned like five other things. Um, short or tall uh what do you mean like males men's men height guy height short or tall um not to be shallow but tall is that shallow i mean i've bitched i've not bitched i've uh

talked about my height requirement jokingly um but there's a trend with me there's a trend all my x's are a certain height and you can listen to previous episodes if you're curious and like I have a superstition about that height I don't know what it is it's just like something about it it just like gets me I don't know why let me just do some math for you guys right now so um how many inches would it be I'll say how many inches to be annoying. Wait, I can figure this out easily. Hold on. Why am I being weird about fucking guy height? Like, okay. It's just funny to me. 76 inches. Wait, 77 inches, 76. Okay. Whatever. Six, four. All right. Moving on. Um,

have you, would you ever climb a mountain? I mean look I don't think what I did yesterday was I couldn't consider that a mountain you know when I think of mountains I think of Everest K2 Kilimanjaro I don't even know if that's back home Mount Rainier you know these big peaks I mean I've never done it I've watched my mom do it growing up my mom climbed glaciers rocks she's on ropes hanging in fucking crevasses my mom there's this amazing picture of her it scares me to even look at it of her like 60 feet deep in a crevasse just is it repelling when you're just like hanging there yeah so I don't do well with I would say heights are not my thing I get I can even think like I dream sometimes about

or no not even dream just think daydream about goats on cliffs like those you know those little goats that are just like standing on a cliff for it doesn't make sense and that's my I've I've talked about in the past my theory about that's a glitch in the simulation like that's like when you're on a map in like I don't want to say halo like that's the only map I can think of that would be like this you get kind of like like yeah halo halo is a great example you're like on the side of the map in a stupid place and it's like you're trying to run up the side of the hill and you're kind of doing it it's kind of like you got a super jump super high to get on that little tiny ledge like that's what the goats are doing it's a glitch it's not supposed to

happen I've joked about before but um why am I even saying this oh heights yeah I can think of that guy that does free solo climbing I think about I get needles this is what I'm trying to tell you I get legit like pain and I get so uncomfortable at the thought of it so I don't think I could climb a mountain like definitely not a uh rock face any sort of like rock type mountain I could do snow I could go up Baker Mount Baker back where I live that's a pretty chill mountain to climb my mom climbed it like three or four times I think that was like a cake walk um I don't think she climbed Rainier too but there was always like a storm or something she couldn't summit anyways um no I haven't great question okay and the fact of the matter is like

do I want to not really I'm not like itching to go climb a mountain you know I'd rather go on a hike somewhere cool or something. Are we really going to ask favorite color on this shit? I don't think I've ever talked about it. I don't think I've ever talked about favorite color. I got a lot of basic questions. Growing up, it was like my sister was the pink girl. I was the purple girl in the family like that's how we distinguish our bedroom and it's graduated to pink like I've turned into a pink person I had a purple face forever my bedroom was purple I loved everything like purple clothes purple I always had like a purple tank top on um and then for a while I was like okay this is what's weird I didn't care about a favorite color or even think about it until

probably the first of the year like 2020 last year I started going I'm a pink girl I like pink I was obsessed with pink last year and that's kind of maybe it's subconscious because I went blonde so I felt like a Barbie like I needed more pink in my life I don't know I don't resemble like I'm not Barbie like I don't know like I could play that up more you know I don't know all right Great question. Um, what did you eat for dinner? So we're just like coming in right now. I'm just like going all over the place. Guys, I'm only getting an answer two more. What I eat for dinner. Um, same as yesterday. I had breakfast or I had avocado toast for dinner. Same thing I had, but today I had that coarse brown, coarse pepper on top. It was great. Um, I had some

I had carrots earlier. I don't know. I had avo toast and, uh, LaCroix. I got these lemonchillo, lemon, lemon, lemonchillo. What are they called? Lemonchillo. I don't, I don't like those LaCroix's. There's something about it. It tastes like a candle. It tastes like I'm drinking. It's like smooth. Like it's supposed to, it's like a cream soda and it shouldn't be like that. It should be like a sparkling, refreshing kind of lemon. And it's like a heavy lemon. So yeah, I'm not a big fan of those. Um, but I need to meal prep tomorrow, tomorrow, Sunday. Oh guys, I got my down, a new down comforter today. I was like, okay. I like getting new bedding at the beginning of the year and I haven't replaced mine all 2020. So I'm like,

okay I'm gonna get new bedding so I got like new pillows new sheets new comforters new everything for my bed and my down comforter came today and it was 10 times nicer than I expected and so fluffy so I love like down because here's the thing I've been using alternative down which is like they use the hypoallergenic like down alternative material it's like gel or whatever it's just not the same I need feathers I need feathers like right now I'm sitting on my couch and I've got this down just like couch pillow and there's something about it it lasts forever it's really just nice to lay on yeah so I got that I'm really excited tomorrow though um should I answer any more questions um I don't know I'm just like honestly I don't really want to that was like

what? Seven questions. Um, let me just go over here right now. Just see if there's anything interesting. How are you guys doing? How's your Saturday? What did you do? Or back to work Monday? I know a lot of people have this week off or they have time off right now. Um, yeah, I'm not going to answer anymore. I'm just going to talk about it more. I really need to end this guys for my own sanity and health. Selfishly, I'm going to just not answer any more questions and get to bed. um drink some water first tomorrow I have a ton of um deliveries mom I went shopping if you're like why are you spending money I needed a lot of stuff that I didn't have and I just like did it I just got stuff for my apartment things I need replacements
