I am not going to lie, I'm a bit frightened. I'm a bit frightened because I just finished making
my fourth caffeinated beverage of the day. Okay, I woke up, had a coffee,
mid-morning had a matcha, then a little bit later had another one, and then now it's 4 45 p.m.
and I'm having a third one. So this is my fourth caffeinated beverage of the day. This is very unusual for me. I usually stop drinking caffeine
after my third caffeinated beverage,
latest two or three p.m.
It's later than usual.
Even though I think I have a high caffeine tolerance,
I just, I don't wanna have like some sort of panic attack.
I also don't wanna be up all night.
So I'm a bit frightened, but I'm exhausted.
I'm exhausted right now. And I and if I don't drink this,
I'm gonna take a nap.
And I'm really trying to stop napping
because I've just noticed that it ultimately
only holds me back in life.
It tends to have a net negative effect on my life.
In the moment, taking a nap feels incredible.
And a lot of times, taking a nap is actually quite helpful because it ultimately gives me the energy
to complete the rest of my day. But then it's harder to fall asleep at night.
I end up falling asleep later and then I end up waking up later the next day and then that makes
me depressed because I'm like, oh my god, no, is my day ruined? Should I wake up too late? And then
for the rest of the day, I'm kind of in a funk and I'm trying to get out of it. And you know,
a lot of times I can and it's fine,
but the day never feels as good as it does when I wake up early. And then,
you know, the next night I try to go to bed earlier,
but then because I went to bed later,
the last night is harder to go to bed earlier and because I woke up later,
do you see what I'm saying? So like, I don't like napping.
So I'm having another matcha.
Matcha number three, caffeinated beverage number four.
I am going to be a fucking menace for the next hour.
There's a chance that I won't, but I have a feeling this fourth matcha is going to impact
me in a way that none of us are prepared for.
That's the risk that you take
when you deviate from your routine.
I know what happens when I have three caffeinated beverages.
I'm good, I'm normal, everything's fine.
Now I'm throwing in a fourth, I'm breaking routine,
I don't know what's gonna happen.
I briefly pause this episode to let you know
that this episode is presented by Westin Hotels and Resorts.

Now back to the episode.
Breaking routine is kind of frightening sometimes.
But that actually relates to our topic today.
So about two years ago, almost to the day,
not quite, but almost to the day,
I made an episode
where I explained my daily routine.
And I didn't just explain it, I explained it
in such gruesome detail that I don't know
how any of you sat through it and listened to it.
Unnecessary amounts of detail.
And it's been two years, and my routine has changed a bit,
and I think it's time that
I do it again. And so today I'm going to be sharing my current routine in unnecessary
detail. I mean, I'm just going to be telling you about every single little thing that I
do every single day. The reason why I feel like it's okay to do this is because this
is the type of thing that I find interesting. If somebody made a podcast episode about their exact daily routine, exactly what they do
from the time they wake up to the time they go to sleep, I would listen to that and find
it fascinating because I think people are fascinating.
We all think people are fascinating.
I don't know.
There's something sort of precious about the way that we entertain each other,
sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally. Actors entertain us in movies and random strangers
entertain us in a coffee shop. People are interesting. They don't necessarily have to
be doing anything interesting to be interesting. Somebody's simple daily routine can be interesting. And
that's why I feel inclined to share my daily routine with you. My chest is already kind
of getting tired. Like I don't know if I can finish this match. I'm really, I'm a bit worried.
I'm a bit worried that this is going to really push me over the edge. So I'm starting to
feel a little bit, a little bit shaky, a little bit anxious.
So let's just begin before I start dissociating or something.
Okay, so I'm going to be sharing with you my generic weekday routine. Obviously, there
are exceptions. Okay, when I'm traveling, if I have a photo shoot, or if I have a photo shoot or if I have some sort of one-off like event like every year
I have a handful of events that I go to like there are some events that I go to for my coffee company like some
Expos
You know where we showcase our product to
Like grocery store buyers like I have weird events like that that I go to you know
Like sometimes I'll have a handful
of random meetings and those meetings are in person
so I'm like out of my house and my routine is broken.
But my routine for the most part right now
is super consistent with an occasional day
that deviates from it, but for the most part,
this is what I do every single day, starting at 7 a.m.
I recently have been waking up at 7 a.m. and it feels absolutely incredible.
I feel like 7 a.m. is the perfect wake up time for me.
When I wake up at 5, I'm exhausted by 4 p.m. Exhausted.
Okay, if I wake up at 6 a.m., I'm exhausted by like 6 p.m. Exhausted. Okay, if I wake up at 6 a.m., I'm exhausted by like 6
p.m. And that's not good because, you know, there's a lot of day left still. 7 a.m., I
need to have three caffeinated beverages a day, but it's kind of the perfect time for
me because any later than that, and I just don't feel like I have enough day to work with I
Don't feel like I have enough daylight to work with I've noticed the 7 a.m
Wake up time allows me to like have a really relaxed morning and then also
Get work done in the morning time before my other activities start which will make sense in a moment
So I've been waking up at 7 a.m. and I'm not going to lie to you, okay?
I can't wake up at 7 a.m. on my own right now.
I don't know what it is.
I can't hear an alarm.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I literally cannot hear the alarm.
So I have to have someone help me wake up. Now listen, luckily for me,
there is someone who sleeps at my house with me probably 95% of the time, so that person
wakes me up. Without that person, I would sleep probably until noon. I'm not kidding,
this person has to shake me awake every morning.
Fully shake me awake. Okay. From there, I put on my fuzzy robe, of course, warm socks, preferably
wool. Put on my little slip-on slippers that are a bit fuzzy. I've been wearing them for the past
like six years. Go downstairs and it's time to make a coffee. This episode is brought to you by Uber Eats.

I just recently bought a new coffee machine and this thing is a fucking beast. I completely
splurged on this thing. For a long time, I used a really standard home barista coffee machine. It was
super user friendly, it was super easy to use. A lot of the complicated elements of
making espresso were sort of done for you with that machine and I absolutely loved it.
But I'd always dreamed of getting a more sophisticated machine. Something higher quality, something, you know, beautifully
designed, something like really respected in the industry. And I always sort of
dreamed of getting the classic Italian espresso machine that you see in 90% of
cafes you go to. And they make many ones for the home. And I had always dreamed of getting one. But I
told myself, Emma, you're not allowed to get one until you're at a place in your life where you're
actually going to learn how to use it properly because you have to do everything manually.
It used to be like I press a few buttons and my espresso is done with the Breville machine.
Not anymore. Now I have a separate machine for grinding the beans. So, I turn
that thing on and it took me like a week to get it set. I'm not going to get into the
nerdy details about it, but you have to get the grind size perfect in the exact amount
of seconds that you want to be grinding to get the exact amount of grams of beans and
then you have to weigh it. And I have a scale now. I put it in the
portafilter, which is like that thing that you twist into the espresso machine and then you pour
it into there. And then I have this little thing where it's like a bunch of little needles almost.
Imagine a little cork looking thing that has needles sticking out the bottom of it and I take that thing and I in the porta filter I
like
Distribute evenly distribute the the coffee grounds
okay, then I take this first little thing that sort of tamps it down and I sort of screw that on then I take one more thing and
Press it down a bit firmer tamp it again
Then I plug it in to the espresso machine or like screw it into the machine. I put down another scale. I have two scales. This one starts
counting. There's a little clock on it. It starts counting when like the fluid starts
running from the machine. So I turn it on and I'm trying to get basically 36 grams of fluid,
because that's a double shot of espresso, 36 grams of fluid in 25 to 35 seconds approximately.
So I'm like watching and then I turn it off,
the second it hits 36 grams, ideally within that time frame.
It's a whole fucking thing now, okay?
I'm into it.
And I mean, I probably should have gotten into it sooner because I founded a coffee company like you would think that I would have gotten
nerdy about it sooner. But I actually had the opposite mentality. I was like, most people
don't do this. Most people don't drink their coffee like this. So I don't want to drink
my coffee like that because I don't want to make product for this niche coffee-loving group that weighs the beans and understands how to grind. Like,
most people don't drink coffee like that. Most people are drinking it out of an average machine
that does all the shit for you. So I don't want to be, I want to be a home barista. But then I was
like, nah, fuck it. I'm going to get nerdy with it. And I absolutely love it. It's made me like,
fall in love with coffee all over again. I'm absolutely loving it. with it and I absolutely love it. It's made me like fall in love with coffee all over again.
I'm absolutely loving it.
Anyway, so I make a double shot of espresso
and then I steam my homemade milk
because I make milk from scratch using a milk maker, okay?
It's almond coconut cashew milk sweetened with maple syrup
and flavored with a bit of almond extract and a bit
of coconut extract. I steam that and Nut Pod vanilla creamer. I mix those two
things together and that's my morning latte and it's fucking delicious. I feel
like it's mastered, you know? It's perfect for me. And then occasionally I'll have a
9 a.m. yoga class.
And then in that case, I'll go to yoga.
But I don't wanna talk about yoga yet
because usually I go to yoga at 12 p.m.
So just imagine that sometimes at this point,
I have my coffee, I poop, and then it's like,
okay, we're going to yoga.
But most of the time it's at noon.
It depends, it depends on what instructor is instructing
and I'm, I don't know.
But usually, immediately after my coffee and my little poop,
I start working.
I'm talking about immediately.
Okay, I'm still in my robe, I haven't brushed my teeth,
I haven't brushed my hair, and I get on my computer
and I start working immediately.
Now this could be a number of things.
This could be working on a podcast outline,
this could be responding to emails, I'm horrible at working on a podcast outline. This could be responding to emails.
I'm horrible at responding to emails.
A Zoom call of some sort.
It could be editing stuff.
I edit things a lot, different videos or whatever.
So I don't know.
It could be organizing, scheduling stuff.
There's a lot of different random things that I might do.
After I sort of get things together, then I actually like to record a podcast in the morning.
If I feel like I have time before my workout at 12, I will do it. Otherwise, I'll just work on other
stuff until my yoga at 12. But if I am going to record a podcast, the preparation for that
basically consists of making another caffeinated drink, either an iced latte, which is the exact same thing
as what I described this morning, except I don't steam the milk, or an iced matcha latte,
which would be plain matcha or like vanilla infused matcha.
I make a shot of matcha, you know, with the bowl and the whisk and the whole thing, and
I mix a little bit of almond extract into the matcha and a little bit of maple syrup to kind of round out the flavor. Mix that in and then
make a latte out of it. Pour it over ice with the homemade milk and the nut pod.
Delish. Okay, that's what I'm drinking right now. But anyway, if I'm going to
record, I always make myself some sort of caffeinated beverage because it just
feels special.
There's something magical about
just having a little drink sitting next to me when I record.
And caffeine helps with the talking, of course.
And then usually I'll get dressed from the waist up.
I wanna be respectful to your eyes.
And it's kind of fun.
I actually enjoy getting dressed up from the waist up.
It's like very COVID-19 core when we were
all working on Zoom and stuff or going to school on Zoom. Life was on Zoom and on video
call on webcam or whatever. And so we were all getting dressed from the waist up because
people were only seeing us from the waist up. I still do that, but for the podcast,
I'm always wearing a sweat pan. But from the waist up, I'll get a little dressed up. You know, the podcast
is on video now, so I'll put on a little something. No makeup though. That's where I draw the
line. Sorry, not putting makeup on. No. I will put a little bit of like a tinted lip
product on, but other than that, no. And then I'll record a podcast and we get to hang out.
What a joy, what a treat.
And then after that, usually it's time for yoga, okay?
If we're doing the 12 p.m. yoga.
Now, to prepare for yoga, I start out by filling up
one of my three Stanley cups with electrolytes, okay?
Love the strawberry lemonade one, okay?
And then I mix that with a
teensy bit of raspberry flavored electrolytes. I do a little bit of both because it's such a large
cup of water, jug of water that I end up drinking for the rest of the day that that's why I mix them.
And I like the way that they taste together. And if you're like a doctor and that's too much
electrolytes, sorry, I like the way it tastes.
And I could be drinking far worse, okay?
I could be drinking alcohol.
I could be drinking hard drugs.
You don't usually drink those,
but like I could find a way if I wanted to.
So fuck off, okay?
I'm mixing a little bit of two different electrolyte drinks,
powders, into one drink.
And I probably am getting like too much potassium or something.
But shut the fuck up, okay?
I don't have a kidney stone yet.
I might soon, but not yet.
So shut the fuck up.
Okay, so that's what I make in my little Stanley Cup.
And then I get dressed.
I'm almost always wearing a little tight pair
of black sort of spandex and a plain black sports bra.
I'm just all about the all black workout gear. I do have, I'm not kidding, maybe two workout
items that are not, maybe three workout items that are not just black. 90% of my workout
gear is just black. And the reason for that is, you know, when you're sweating
and you're wearing like a pale blue workout set,
you can see the sweat.
And I mean, it doesn't really matter, right?
Who cares?
But I don't know, I just, I prefer black workout gear.
And I also prefer shorts over leggings.
There's a time and a place for leggings,
but it's definitely not my routine.
Especially because my workout of choice right now
is hot yoga.
Leggings are not ideal for hot yoga.
It is so hot in there that I'm trying to have
as much skin exposed as possible.
So I get into that and then I put over that a sweatshirt
and a pair of sweatpants.
And then I slip on my slippers
and I put on my little sunglasses
and I pack my little shower bag
and then I pack my little purse, wallet, keys,
hand sanitizer, phone, and I'm off.
Drive to yoga and at the yoga place that I go to,
the parking for yoga is on the ninth floor
of the parking garage.
So I have to drive all the way to the top.
And it used to piss me off so bad.
I was like, oh my God, there's all this parking for the first eight floors, but it's reserved
for, I don't know, another company or something.
The parking for the yoga is on the ninth floor.
And it takes like three minutes to get up there, which doesn't seem like a long time, but when you're like circling around up a
parking structure, I mean, it feels long.
Anyway, I used to absolutely hate the fact that I had to drive all the way up to the
top floor of this parking garage, but I actually ended up finding a silver lining.
I'll talk about that in a moment.
But anyway, park on the ninth floor,
and then I go into yoga.
And I do sort of like a hot yoga Pilates fusion class.
It is really hard, okay?
It is one of the hardest workouts I've ever done.
Every time I go into class, there's a 50-50 chance
that like 30 minutes in, I'm gonna really really start to feel like I'm going to pass out.
But that's why I really make sure that I don't forget my electrolytes
because I am drinking, drinking, drinking, replenishing, replenishing, replenishing
the whole class and I have found that that does help.
When I first started, I don't know, I was kind of skimping on the electrolytes.
Like the other electrolytes that I used to use, it's better for day-to-day drinking, at least
in my experience. So anyway, I'm drinking that, I'm chugging that, whatever. Okay. It's
an hour-long class. I get out and I shower there and it's kind of weird. I have a love-hate
relationship with showering at the gym. In general, throughout my life, I've always
had a love-hate relationship with it. There are elements of it that I absolutely love.
It's very convenient, but it's also kind of weird. There's people around, they're seeing
you naked, perhaps. There's strangers and you're vulnerable and naked. I don't know.
There's probably foot fungus on the floor, you have to wear flip-flops
in the shower.
But after hot yoga, I am so soaked, my hair is soaked completely with sweat.
My clothes are completely soaked through with sweat.
I'm barely wearing any clothes to begin with, but it's soaked all the way through.
The entire surface area of my body is covered in sweat. And getting in the car like that is disgusting, okay?
And I refuse to do it.
I used to do that and just shower at home,
but the problem with that was,
if I was going to yoga every day,
then every day, sweat was transferring from my body
and dirty clothes onto the seatbelt in my car
and it was starting to smell like
sweat and to me that's disgusting.
So now I shower at yoga and I have all my little things that I need.
I only wash my hair once a week.
That's it.
And so I actually don't even bring shampoo or anything because if I'm going to do an
everything shower, I'll just do it at home.
So my yoga shower consists of using a specific vagina soap
because if I don't use a special vagina soap,
my pH gets off like immediately and I start to have issues.
It's uncomfortable.
It makes me, I have very sensitive skin, okay?
And that includes my vagina. She's very sensitive and she's very sweet and she's very nice
So I treat her well and I wash her with special soap
Okay, and then I use a body scrub because I just sweat so much. I like need a body scrub
I use a eucalyptus smelling body scrub from the brand necessary
That's my favorite one. And then I'm using a face wash.
And the face wash I use after yoga specifically
is by the brand IS Clinical.
It's like, it just, it looks scientific, the bottle.
You're like, I trust this brand.
Anyway, great face wash.
Rinse my hair, that's it.
I don't even have to wash it.
That's the joy of having a bleached pixie.
You never have to wash it and you don't even have to wash it. That's the joy of having a bleached pixie. You never have to wash it and you don't even have to style it.
It just kind of does its own thing.
It's incredible.
I get back into my sweat pant, sweat shirt, little outfit, and I'm out of there.
Here's the silver lining of the nine-floor parking garage that I mentioned earlier.
Starting on January 1st this year, I decided I was going to walk 10,000 steps a day, minimum,
for the entire year, just to see what happens.
And spoiler alert, I absolutely love it.
I absolutely love the routine of it.
I have fallen in love with walking in a brand new way.
It is just a joy.
Some days it's hard to get the steps in.
It's not always easy.
Sometimes I'm like, walking on my treadmill at like 10 p.m.
because I'm like, damn, I have like 2000 more steps.
All right.
And it's raining outside and I can't go for a walk outside.
Like I usually do, like, God damn it.
But I absolutely love it.
And so the fact that now I am always trying to get steps in, it inspired me to start taking
the stairs after my yoga class.
So after this insane yoga class, I walk up nine flights of stairs up to the top floor
of the parking garage to my car.
And you know what?
It sucks.
It's uncomfortable.
It burns. My booty hurts by the end. But it's
super satisfying. It feels really good. And it kind of like wraps up my workout for the
day. It's like, all right, I did that. Now I did my little stairs. I got my movement
in. Now I can proceed to sit inside at a desk for the rest of the day and it's all good.
So that is the silver lining
of the nine floor parking garage.
How beautiful is that?
Then it's time to run some quick errands.
Okay, nothing like intense, you know,
go get groceries, get gas, you know,
go pick up like printer ink from Office Depot.
Like, you know the vibe, like these are quick errands because mind you,
this is so TMI, but I'm basically like naked
underneath my sweatpants and huge sweatshirt,
which feels kind of weird.
And I'm like wet, because I just got out of the shower
and I'm like beet red.
So like, this is not when we run like the leisurely errands, you know, going to the
mall to get jeans, going to get my nails done, going to a hair appointment.
And if I want to do that stuff after yoga, okay, that requires a bit more planning.
I'm bringing an outfit to yoga.
I'm changing into that after so that I look presentable.
I'm bringing extra products, like I'm bringing my hair care products, I'm bringing my skincare
products so that I can complete my routine there.
It's a whole other thing.
So usually I'm just running some short errands.
And to be honest, usually I'm going to the grocery store or getting gas. And when it comes to going to the grocery store,
I'm usually getting stuff to make veggie burgers
because I've been eating a veggie burger for dinner
every night for like the past four months.
I don't even know, it's been so long, maybe even a year.
So I'm like, I'm so into the veggie burger right now.
It's so fucking good.
Or I'm picking up stuff to make egg bites
because that's one of my other staple foods.
Like, you know, like the Starbucks egg bites,
like mini little frittatas,
come on, you know what I'm talking about.
I like to make those.
And that's usually part of my like brunch, lunch situation.
Or I'm getting gas,
which to me is one of the most frightening activities.
I am so afraid of getting gas.
Everything about it frightens me.
Number one, I'm afraid of somebody like jumping me or like mugging me.
Like I feel like somebody's going to like rob me or something.
I don't know. I just feel vulnerable.
And I used to get back in my car.
Like I would, you know, get out of my car, pay, plug the pump in, start pumping it, get back in the car,
lock the door, and be safe in there until I was done pumping the gas. But then I found
out that apparently that's actually not a good idea because it can cause static electricity,
which can then cause a fire or a gas explosion or something, and it's dangerous. And I was
like, oh, fuck no. So now I am forced to stand next to my gas pump the entire time and it's like dangerous and I was like, oh fuck no. So now I am forced
to stand next to my gas pump the entire time that it's pumping gas and I'm shaking because
I'm afraid that like something bad is going to happen to me because I'm vulnerable and
I'm standing out here alone and then nothing ever happens and then yeah and then I get
back in my car and drive away. If I didn't live in Los Angeles, I wouldn't be afraid, but shit happens in a city, you know what I'm saying?
I'm very wary.
I am constantly looking around.
Yeah, it's a little, it's just, you just,
you kind of have to be that way when you live in a city.
But anyway, after that, I go home and it's time
to make myself look a little bit more presentable.
Okay, because up until this point, I've looked horrible the entire day.
And for my own well-being, I need to clean up a little bit.
Usually, I'm getting home and at max to my hair,
I might put in a little bit of this like purple oil.
Purple because, you know, the purple pigment helps combat yellowness in bleached hair.
I'll put a little bit of that in
to sort of smooth my hair out.
And if I feel like my hair is really frizzy
and out of control, I might put a little bit of wax in it
to sort of shape it a little bit, but that's it.
Like I'm really not doing much to the hair.
And if it's really bad, like it dried horribly after yoga,
usually it doesn't because usually I let it dry
with my hood up so then it like dries perfectly flat
and in place, that's a little life hack.
But if for some reason it dried horribly,
I'll re-wet it and then let it air dry again
and make sure to put a hood on or put on sometimes
like a ball of clava or something so that it'll dry flat. I only have to do that for like 15, 20 minutes and then it's
dry flat. I don't have to use heat or anything. So that's sort of the hair routine. And then
skincare routine is simple. I'm just doing a light moisturizer in a light sunscreen.
Okay? Then it's time to get dressed, okay?
And let's be honest, I'm not putting on anything special,
okay, but it's more special than earlier, right?
Like the yoga outfit, mid, who cares?
The sweat suit, you know, the hoodie
with like the matching sweatpants
that I tend to wear every single day to yoga, not cute.
So what I'm usually getting dressed in
is something that's a little bit cuter, okay?
Like, I'll wear a slightly cuter pair of sweatpants,
a slightly shaker pair of sweatpants,
and I'll match the sweatpants with my top.
And my top is kind of a normal top. it's not like a baggy sweatshirt
or you know, like a loose fitting PJ t-shirt, you know?
Like I'm wearing like a cute top.
And I'm wearing cute socks that match the top.
And I'm wearing perhaps like one of my pairs of slippers
that matches my outfit.
So I am still ultimately in my pajamas, yes,
but I'm feeling a bit cuter, a bit more put together for the rest of my pairs of slippers that matches my outfit. So I am still ultimately in my pajamas, yes, but I'm feeling a bit cuter, a bit more put together
for the rest of my day.
But listen, I work from home for the most part.
I'm home alone all day, every day, almost every day.
This is my life, you know?
When it comes to my routine, like my daily routine,
I am not getting dressed.
I never get dressed. And now it's time to move
To the kitchen. Okay, it's time to eat. I briefly pause this episode to let you know that this episode is brought to you by skims
So you guys know how hard it can be finding the right bra and underwear, right?
I am very very picky about the way that clothes feel on my body
I am very, very picky about the way that clothes feel on my body. Actually, more importantly, my underwear and my bras,
because those are the pieces of clothing that are the closest to my body,
and I want them to be soft and movable and flexible.
Your intimates are the most important foundation of every outfit.
So you need to know about Skims' Fits Everybody collection.
The Fits Everybody boy shorts are a full coverage pair
of underwear that fits seamlessly under your clothes.
A go-to item for me.
But I also love the Fits Everybody triangle bralette.
Those two together, I am on fire, okay?
The base of my outfit is flawless.

Now back to the episode.
I am usually not that hungry in the morning.
It depends.
I go through phases in my life, but recently I haven't been.
And so I wait until lunch and then I fucking go ham.
Okay, so usually I'm having some sort of egg bite
that I made prior.
Like I tend to prepare them in bulk
so that I have them for like the next few days.
And I prepare them at varying times of the day. Like there's no specific time that I have them for like the next few days. And I prepare them at varying times of the day.
Like there's no specific time that I prepare them.
But I'm constantly switching up what I put in them.
For a long time I was putting broccoli
and they were quite good.
And then I had a traumatic incident with broccoli
where I had to stop eating it.
Because I found a snail or slug, sorry a slug
in some organic broccoli that I bought and it absolutely traumatized me and gave me a complete food aversion to broccoli that
I've been trying to heal ever since.
And I can eat broccoli now, but only when I didn't prepare it.
Like, when I prepare it, it's really tough for me.
I can do it.
If I like put a bunch of garlic and Parmesan cheese on it,
sure, I can get it down.
But I could get anything down if it had a bunch of garlic
and Parmesan cheese on it.
You could literally give me a fucking dog shit
and it's crusted with Parmesan and garlic
and I'd say, totally fine, I'll eat it.
I will eat anything Parmesan garlic.
So it's like, at that point,
I'm not even really eating the food,
I'm just eating Parmesan and garlic.
Broccoli is simply the vessel, okay?
And I don't, that's not what I liked about broccoli
prior to the food aversion.
I liked it because I actually liked the flavor
and the texture, I loved broccoli.
So anyway, one day I'll get back there,
but for now I'm completely, completely traumatized by it.
So for a while there, I was weirdly putting peas and carrots
into my little egg bites because they just kind of disappeared into there and have like a really
mild flavor or whatever. Recently though, I fucking unlocked the best egg bite recipe I have ever
unlocked in my life. Okay, let me tell you about it. I'm a vegetarian for the most part, pescatarian
sometimes. I do eat fish occasionally nowadays.
Imagine this, okay?
We're chopping half a red onion, one red bell pepper,
one green bell pepper, okay?
We're chopping it, oh, oh, oh, sorry, excuse me,
and a zucchini with the seeds scooped out.
Fuck those slimy seeds.
Get those bitches out of here.
Then we're chopping it up.
We're chopping it all up into small cubes and we're cooking that up with some fajita
seasoning.
You can buy it at the store.
Chicken fajita seasoning on there.
Yum.
Then in another pan, I'm cooking up some whatever plant-based chorizo you can find. Okay, I've
actually tried multiple brands. They're all good because they're all probably highly processed
and using the exact same seasoning blend. Delicious. Okay, so I cooked that up. So now I
have chorizo and then some fajita veggies in the other pan. Okay, then I take a muffin tin,
spray it,
and then I do little scoops of the chorizo
and little scoops of the veggies into each little tray,
and then top it off with egg.
You can use egg, you can use egg white,
pop it in the oven, 375 for 20 minutes, done, boom.
Egg bites, so good.
So I'll eat those a lot of times for lunch, like four of them, fucking pop those things, I could swallow them whole, they're so good. So I'll eat those a lot of times for lunch,
like four of them, fucking pop those things.
I could swallow them whole.
They're so good.
Oh, and I eat them with salsa and a bit of Cotija cheese.
Yum, it's delectable.
It's delectable, okay?
And it's actually funny,
because growing up, my dad used to make me an omelet
that was basically just like vegetarian chorizo with
eggs and it was like one of my favorite foods when I was younger.
I kind of forgot about it for a while and then recently I kind of came up with this
recipe and it was so good.
So I have like four of those, four little egg bites, okay, to start.
Then I'll make a little yogurt bowl.
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
Let's make a little yogurt bowl.
Recently I've been enjoying some vanilla yogurt, vanilla Greek yogurt, delicious, and I'll
weirdly put on top of it some cereal.
Recently I've been topping my yogurt with just like a fuck ton of cinnamon cereal and
I mix it up so that it's like mainly just cereal, but each piece of cereal is coated
in a bit of yogurt.
Yum.
Okay, so that's what I eat.
And by then I'm so full and I'm feeling really good.
And then it's time to make another caffeinated beverage.
This is usually gonna be a matcha.
Recently I'm like very much into matcha.
There was a period there, I don't know,
two years ago where I was like fully coffee only.
I wasn't on matcha for a bit.
I'm back, I'm at least having one matcha a day,
but sometimes two.
So I most likely make myself a matcha,
or perhaps an iced latte, depending on the mood,
and then I get back to work.
And at this point it's like, you know, I don't know,
2 p.m.
I still got a whole day ahead of me.
If I have the energy, I'll record another podcast.
And that's what I'm doing sort of right now, right?
Like, it's a bit later in the afternoon, but why not?
I do two episodes a week of this podcast, right?
And a lot of times, like, you know, that's sort of easy to keep up with.
It's like, okay, you record two episodes a week.
But I've been recently trying to, like, record a podcast at any time I have an idea,
any time I'm feeling inspired.
And if that means recording six episodes in a week, I'll do it.
You know what I mean?
Because that only gives me more time to plan for other episodes,
but also to, you also to work on other
parts of my career more intensely.
It frees up some time to do some other things.
So whenever I'm feeling inspired, I'll do it.
And so that's why I mention it as a part of my routine, because there are two points in
the day where I'm asking myself, am I ready to record a podcast?
But when I'm not recording a podcast, which is a significant amount of the time,
I'm definitely not recording two podcasts every single day.
Sometimes I go three days without recording a podcast.
Sometimes I'll go a full week.
But when I'm not recording a podcast,
I'm working on other things, as I mentioned earlier.
And I'm just at a podcast, I'm working on other things, as I mentioned earlier, and I'm just at a desk and I'm just sitting.
Although sometimes I like to work on my treadmill because I'm trying to get 10,000 steps per
day this year.
And because my job doesn't involve any walking, I have to be really thoughtful about when
I get my steps in.
That's why I'm taking the stairs.
That's why when my work allows it,
I will work while on the treadmill.
I'll set up my little iPad.
I'll be in my cute little sweat pant outfit,
pop on my little running shoes,
and I'll walk on the treadmill.
And I'm not like walking fast.
I mean, sometimes if I'm like brainstorming stuff,
I'll walk fast and just listen to music and think.
But sometimes I'm there with my iPad,
like typing on it and stuff, you know?
You can't walk that fast.
So it's not really about speed,
it's just about moving, you know?
Because otherwise I am sitting all day
and like 9 p.m. will roll around and I
only have 2,000 steps. And then what? I'm fucked. I'm like forced to walk, you know,
for like an hour and a half at 9 p.m. And that sucks. You know what I mean?
And then around this time, I'll have probably my final caffeinated beverage. Again, usually an iced matcha latte or an
iced latte. Sometimes I'll have a snack. My snacks are really random and depend on what's
in the fridge. Like if I recently went to the farmer's market, okay, great. I'm going
to have a bunch of fun fruits to eat. Okay, so I might have some fruits. If I went to
the farmer's market, I might have fresh hummus from the farmer's market. Okay, so I might have some fruits. If I went to the farmer's market, I might have fresh hummus from the farmer's market.
Okay, so I might be eating some crackers
with hummus or something.
You know, I always have popcorn.
I love these little pecan cookies.
Recently, I've been absolutely pounding those
when I'm in the mood for a snack.
Sometimes I'll have another yogurt cereal bowl.
Recently, that's just been hitting for me.
And so I'll have another one of those.
And it's at about this time that I'll make one of my favorite beverages in another Stanley
Cup.
I've been sipping on my electrolyte Stanley Cup drink throughout the day, and it's probably
running low at this point.
So it's about time to make one of my favorite beverages, non-caffeinated, sparkling water
with apple cider vinegar.
Yum.
I love this because I love the taste of vinegar for some reason that I can't explain.
It might also help my stomach.
It might also have good digestive impacts.
I don't know.
But anyway, so I'll fill up my Stanley Cup with
ice. I'll get out my water carbonator or just drink carbonator. It can carbonate anything.
I'll get that thing out, that little machine. Refillable, of course. They're like little
refillable bottles. Attach it to the machine thing. Press the button. Carbonate water.
Okay? I can't even tell you how many cans I used to go through.
Not anymore.
I've never been more eco-friendly, you guys, okay?
My waist has gone down so much
because I'm carbonating my own water.
I'm not going through 10 LaCroix cans per day.
Anyway, because I used to be able to fit
two LaCroix cans into my Stanley cup. So every time I'd fill it up, I was putting two whole cans in there. It was such a waste
of can. It was just unnecessary. So I've been carbonating my own water. Incredible. Put
a little bit of apple cider vinegar in there, probably two or three tablespoons, mix it
up, and I'm sipping on that for the rest of the evening. So we're having a snack. We're
making our final caffeinated beverage, and we're having a snack, we're making our final caffeinated
beverage and we're making a sparkling water with vinegar, okay? This is usually what's
happening. And then after that, I'm back to work for the rest of the evening, okay? I
might be at the desk, I might be recording a podcast later in the evening. If I got,
you know, sort of a second wind in the early evening. I might just be doing computer work. I might be working
on the treadmill still, like who knows? Okay. Maybe I have a Zoom call. Boring. Then it's time
for dinner. And I have been really good about not eating out during the week for the past
long while, honestly. I actually don't remember the last time I was in a routine of eating out for dinner.
Either ordering restaurant food delivery
or even going out.
I, during the week, have been cooking dinner
almost every single night.
And dinner varies.
I love making chickpea pasta by the brand Bonza,
high protein, good for us vegetarians throw some veggies in there
Have a huge fucking bowl of that with some nutritional yeast on top, which is some sort of weird yeast
Substance that sort of has a cheesy flavor. It's kind of like a you know vegan alternative to cheese
I do eat normal cheese, but I actually really like the flavor of nutritional
yeast. So I eat that a lot. I make veggie burgers a lot, but I mentioned that earlier.
So that's not a shocker to you. I've been eating a veggie burger almost every single
night for months, months. And that consists of a classic bun, a Dr. Prager brand veggie burger, classic Heinz ketchup, classic French's mustard, deli
hot spicy mustard, okay, so two mustards on this burger, and dill sour, sour, sour pickle
chips, okay?
That is my veggie burger, and it's fucking delicious, and it's easy and it's quick. If I'm feeling really
inspired and I go through phases, I will crack open a cookbook and I will make a recipe from
scratch and I absolutely love to do this. But sometimes it's like not worth the risk
because I don't always love recipes that I make, right? Sometimes I'll copy something
from a cookbook and I'm like, you know what, it's actually just not my,
it's not my thing, I just don't really like it.
But it is exciting and fun sometimes.
But I would say more realistically,
I'm having something simple.
I'm having a veggie burger, I'm having a simple pasta dish
using Bonza pasta, it just, it fills me up,
it's filling, it's got protein in it, you know.
The veggie burger has absolutely no vegetables.
The pickle is a vegetable, all right, so relax.
I'm so off vegetables right now.
I'm off of them.
And I was in, I loved vegetables,
but the whole slug incident with the broccoli
just really fucked me up.
Anywho, then it's time to take my evening pills.
And then it's time for a sweet treat.
Hey, it's DJ First Dibs.
I noticed you've been listening to a lot of summer vibes lately.
I get it.
You're dreaming about vacations.
Ooh, baby, that's my jam.
With Sunwing's first dibs on summer savings, let us curate something stronger than what
you've been listening to.
Because while your playlist screams, I need a vacation, my algorithm suggests book before
March 30th.
Remember Sunwing, save more, do more.
Book with your local travel advisor or at sunwing.ca.
I went many, many years in my life without a sweet treat.
But I recently got into the routine of a sweet treat because I was taste testing pastries for the new Chamberlain Coffee
Cafe in the Westfield Century City Mall, aka the best fucking mall in Los Angeles.
It's an incredible mall.
The cafe opened late January, if you haven't seen it or heard about it.
Very exciting. Absolutely
obsessed. Unbelievable dream come true. Can't believe that it happened. But anyway, I was
taste testing pastries for months, okay? And I was constantly getting sent, you know, different
samples of pastries from different bakeries, I guess. and they were always sending too much.
They would send like five chocolate chip cookies,
six coffee cake slices, like they would send way too much.
So I kept just freezing everything.
And for months I just had all these frozen pastries
in my freezer and I wasn't eating them.
And then at a certain point I was like, I really should start cracking into these.
And now it's become a ritual because every night for months
I was defrosting a different Chamberlain Coffee Cafe
pastry sample and eating it as my little sweet treat
after dinner and it became such a sacred ritual
that now I have to have a sweet treat every night.
And sometimes that means, you know,
extra pastries from the cafe.
Sometimes, you know, I buy some like pre-made cookie dough
from Whole Foods or something and like,
we'll, you know, use that.
But anyway, now I have to have a sweet treat every night.
And I was never that person.
I've never been a dessert person.
I've always been more of a savory person.
Like I'd rather eat tater tots
than like a chocolate chip cookie.
Man, I don't know.
Like it might be something with age.
I'm realizing that the older I get,
the more I love sweets and pastries and stuff like that.
So anyway, have to have a sweet treat.
Then it's time for a long walk, okay?
I've been really enjoying the evening walk the after-dinner walk. I've talked about it before because I love it so much the
after-dinner walk
Didn't make its way into my daily routine here in Los Angeles
Until I made the 10,000 step a day goal prior to that
I don't know like my neighborhood has a lot of like hills and stuff
I was always like I don't fucking want to walk. I don't know, like my neighborhood has a lot of like hills and stuff. I was always like, I don't fucking want to walk.
I don't want to walk here.
However, whenever I visit my dad, we always go on an after dinner walk.
Or whenever we're on a trip together, we always go on an after dinner walk.
But never on my own.
But I'm so into it now.
Now I'm like, what's wrong with me?
I always found so much joy in the walks with my dad.
Why didn't I integrate it into my routine sooner?
Now it's incredible because it's like,
I go to visit my dad or we go on a trip, evening walk.
Now at home, evening walk.
It's a consistent in my life and I really, really love it.
I usually will walk around, honestly,
between one and a half and three miles.
It sounds long, but I absolutely love it.
And I just take my time, and I'm in my sweatpants,
and I'm comfy, and it's no big deal,
and I end up getting anywhere from, I don't know,
like 4,000 to 8,000 more steps, depending on how far I go.
And so I make sure that I hit my 10,000
and it's just a great way to end the day. And then after my nice long walk, it's time to get into
the PJs. Okay. And recently I've been really loving wearing men's underwear and no, I'm not
being like, oh my God, I'm wearing my boyfriend's underwear. He let me wear them. It's so cute.
No, no, no, I ordered men's underwear
because I know how comfortable they are
because I've had phases in the past
where I've been obsessed with wearing men's underwear
and they're so comfortable
and I've been wearing those a lot to sleep.
But I also love to wear my favorite orange sweatshorts
that are on the verge of ripping at this point
because I have worn them to bed almost every single night
for the past three years. I love these shorts. But I'm weirdly kind of wearing them less. I
almost think it's because subconsciously I know that I need to stop wearing them as much if I want
them to last because they're just starting to like get thinner and thinner and thinner and I'm getting
scared. So I've been wearing either the orange shorts or the Calvin Klein briefs.
And then, you know, I'm wearing one of my old soft T-shirts
or if it's a bit warmer, perhaps some sort of tank top
that I find in my closet randomly,
any tank top that's soft and comfortable.
Then I'm brushing my teeth, not flossing every night.
Sorry, I'm not.
I floss sometimes, but not every night,
but I'm definitely brushing every night. Sorry, I'm not. I floss sometimes, but not every night. But I'm definitely brushing
every night. I brush, I wash my face with a gentle milky cleanser. I've been fucking
around with retinol. So I have a retinol oil three to four times a week. I'll put that
on and then top it with moisturizer, a thin sort of light moisturizer. I don't love super
thick moisturizers, especially because I love oils. Like I don't love super thick moisturizers, especially because I love
oils. Like I don't need a thick moisturizer and an oil. I prefer a lighter moisturizer and then an
oil. That's what my skin likes. Don't ask. So on a retinol night, we're doing the retinol and then
we're doing the moisturizer. Then that's it because my retinol is an oil. On nights when I'm not doing
retinol, wash the face, light moisturizer,
top it off with a beautiful, beautiful oil.
Just like a hydrating, nourishing oil.
I was really into using chemical exfoliants
for a long time, many years.
A toner or a serum that has some sort of
chemical exfoliate property because that can help
with sort of refreshing the skin or whatever.
But since I started using Retinol,
I haven't been using any of those products
because I'm frightened that if I do,
I'll just over irritate my skin.
So I'm just doing Retinol right now.
That is the only sort of irritant that I'm using.
Everything else is purely just hydrating or nourishing.
Like I'm not using anything else that strips at all because I'm just
frightened. You know if I'm gonna do like a face mask just because I'm in the
mood, I'm not using anything stripping. I just don't want to run into any issues
so I'm being very careful. But I'm actually loving the Redknot so far. I feel
like my skin looks great.
I don't feel like me removing the exfoliant products
from my routine has caused me to get clogged pores
or anything.
The Red Nol seems to be doing its thing,
and I don't really need anything else.
Okay, then it's time to get into bed.
I'm turning on my heating pad to either medium hot or hot.
So it's up high. and I'm putting on a little
silk bonnet on my hair because my hair is bleached and I don't want breakage in the
back of my head from sleeping and moving around on my pillow. And then recently I've been
turning on TV and watching an episode of some sort of TV series and this
is so unlike me because for so long I did not do this.
But now this is my thing.
Like I was super into Squid Game recently.
That was the last sort of series I seriously watched.
I'll rewatch old shows that I love, like just TV.
And then at around 1130 or midnight, I could
have had and that's it. And then I wake up the next day and do it all over again. And
you know, it's interesting. You might have noticed that throughout the day, I didn't
talk about turning on a YouTube video during my lunch, or watching YouTube shorts when I'm on the toilet.
And that's because I don't do that anymore.
I was recently having a conversation
with somebody who was close to me
about internet consumption,
and how even watching YouTube,
something that I absolutely adore,
is still internet consumption.
And even though a lot of times it's educational,
or it's comforting
or whatever, it is still consuming and it is still putting useless information into
your brain a lot of times.
And then ironically, I saw this video on my YouTube explore page and it was a video by
this man and the title was something like, stop consuming, start creating.
And it was like this inspiring video of this man talking about how he was wasting
so much time consuming that it was getting
in the way of him creating.
And I thought it was so fascinating.
And I was like, huh, you know what?
I deleted the YouTube app right there.
And I fucking love YouTube.
I'm the first person, it is my favorite website
on the planet, okay?
I absolutely adore YouTube.
I'm so loyal to it.
I think it's an incredible platform.
But it is my job to create things for YouTube.
It's my job to create things in general.
And I think I was consuming too much YouTube, right?
And it was getting in the way of me creating.
And what was so fascinating was, after I deleted it,
creating things, recording episodes,
working on Chamberlain Coffee,
coming up with concepts for Chamberlain Coffee,
working on concepts for my YouTube channel,
all of this became easier.
And I was like, damn, okay, well, during the week then,
no YouTube, no YouTube at all.
On the weekends, who gives a fuck?
You know, and I did delete the app off my phone,
but like, I can pull it up on my laptop.
It was mainly an issue on my phone
because I'd be on my toilet, you know,
scrolling on YouTube shorts,
and then in bed, scrolling on shorts,
eating lunch, pull up a YouTube video on my phone.
Anyway, I've been sort of existing in silence for a while now and it's so incredible for
me creatively.
It just, I don't know why, it just works for me.
And so that guy in that YouTube video that got recommended to me, ironically because
they got recommended to me on YouTube, kind of changed my life a little bit.
I mean, I really am grateful to that guy. I
want to try to find that video. Let me try to find that video so that we can give him a shout out.
Who is this guy? Let's see if I can find it. Oh my God, if I can't find it, I'm going to be really
sad. Come on. Where is this guy? Can I be honest? I can't find him. I'm kind of heartbroken. Come on.
Come on.
It was like a man standing like in a forest. He was wearing like warm clothes.
It's from what I can remember.
And I think he had like either an Australian accent
or perhaps an English accent.
Man, I'm sorry.
I really wanted to find you
and I really wanted to say that you changed my life
but I cannot find you anywhere.
I'm gonna try a little bit harder.
Oh, I told, oh my God, it's religious.
Oh wait, no, that's not the right guy.
Is it?
I don't think that was the right guy, hold on.
Where is the fucking video?
Wait, is it this guy?
Okay, I'm so sorry, you guys.
I really tried to find my best friend,
this guy that motivated me.
I cannot find his video and I'm starting to wonder
if it got deleted, which would be a huge shame.
But anyway, I'm sending loving energy to that guy
because that was a really, really eye-opening
sort of perspective.
It was like what I needed to hear in that moment
and it really, really has helped me.
If I get bored during the day,
instead of going on YouTube now, I will call someone.
I'll call my parents, I'll call a friend, I'll call someone.
Or if I'm on the toilet and I just want to scroll for three minutes, I'll either go on
Tag Walk, which is an app that updates every time there's a runway show so I can look at
new fashion collections,
or I'll go on Pinterest and just scroll around on there.
Easy!
But yeah, I'm not really consuming anything right now,
and can I be honest, it feels so good.
Like, my one episode of television at the end of the day
is the perfect amount.
It's entertainment, it allows me to unwind,
I've actually been really enjoying it.
So, I don't know, that's what's working for me right now
But trust me. I'm not anti YouTube. Okay. I love YouTube and on the weekends
I'll fucking open up my laptop and go on YouTube all day long if I want because it's the weekend
The weekend is a free-for-all and that's it. That's my routine right now. I'm actually really enjoying it. It sounds like a lot of walking and a lot of working
and a lot of yoga and a lot of podcasting.
That is true.
I actually really love all of those things.
I love making podcast episodes,
more than I ever have in my entire podcasting career,
to be honest.
And I think part of that has to do with
how well it fits into this routine, you know?
But I also am loving yoga.
It's like the one part of the day where I'm truly centered and like, there's just something
so incredible about that.
I love walking.
It's great for decompressing.
I love walking while I work because, you know, it can kind of like help get the blood moving
and like the brain moving. And I don't know, there's just something about it where it can kind of help get the blood moving and the brain moving.
I don't know, there's just something about it
where it can be really incredible.
I love veggie burgers.
I like my routine.
I like having three caffeinated beverages a day.
It's the perfect amount.
Today I'm having four.
It's totally frightening.
I've only drank half of it.
Am I gonna finish it?
Probably not.
It's 6.30 now.
Probably shouldn't finish that.
That will just screw up the rest of my week.
But yeah, I'm loving my routine.
It's feeling so good for me.
It feels so catered to me.
And there's a lot of discipline involved.
There's a lot of working involved, but not to the point that I'm feeling burnt out.
It's like the perfect amount for me.
And when the weekend rolls around, you know,
all bets are off.
The only thing that remains the same
is that I wake up at 7 a.m.
I wake up at 7 a.m. every day now
because I find that I just feel the best when I do that.
I still go to yoga on the weekends a lot of times
just because I love it so much.
I just genuinely wanna go. I still get my 10,000 steps a yoga on the weekends a lot of times just because I love it so much. I just genuinely want to go.
I still get my 10,000 steps a day on the weekends
because again, I love doing that and it's fun.
But when it comes to getting work done, absolutely not.
I don't allow myself to work on the weekends
unless for whatever reason I really want to
or I have to for some reason.
I like to just hang out on the weekends.
The weekends are for getting dressed up into a cute little outfit and walking around town.
Okay?
That is what I do almost every weekend.
I've tried to do other things.
Like there was a brief little period there where I was super into like going on a hike
on the weekends or, you know, going rock climbing.
And I still love that stuff.
But the truth is, what I
really want to do on the weekends is get dressed up and walk around town. Okay. What's walking
around town? Popping into stores, just looking around. Popping into coffee shops, getting
a coffee. Oh, it's been another hour. I'll get another one. Getting a pastry. Okay. Getting
lunch at a cute little restaurant, sitting there for three fucking hours.
Who cares?
It's the weekend.
Going to a little crystal shop.
I don't even know anything about crystals.
I don't care about crystals because I don't even know anything about them.
They have good energy.
I don't know what's happening, but I'm in here because I can because it's the weekend.
Oh my God, look, it's another vintage store.
I guess I'll go in.
Oh, everything in here is absolute junk.
It's a bunch of Disneyland hoodies.
This is fun.
I just like to walk around town.
I'll do that all day in my cute little outfit
because for the rest of the week,
we know I'm not doing that.
I'm in my various different versions of sweatpants.
So on the weekend, it's time to look cute.
And let me tell you, I cannot remember a weekend
where I haven't looked incredibly chic.
Just banger after banger.
And what tends to happen is during the week,
if for whatever reason I do need to get dressed,
for some reason, like I'm going to a meeting,
or I have an appointment where I need
to be dressed up for it, whatever,
not dressed up, but like in a normal outfit, not just sweatpants.
I'll just rewear one of the outfits that I created on the weekend and then I'll just
rewear that outfit however many times until I feel like too many people have seen it.
But that's when I experiment.
I experiment on the weekends and then I can use those outfits that I came up with throughout
the weekdays if I need them.
But on the weekend, I have time to put together an outfit.
It's fun.
I want to.
I also love running errands on the weekend and taking my time, spending three hours at
the grocery store, getting nails done, getting my hair done, you know, getting a massage,
like just getting appointments, errands, all of
that done. And I also love going out to dinner. My God, I love going out to dinner. Texting
friends who's free, let's go to dinner. That's what the weekend's about. I used to have a
little glass of wine, not anymore. I'm sober. It's a fucking miserable. I'd do anything
for a glass of wine. But let me tell you, nothing can ruin going out to dinner on a
fucking Friday, Saturday or Sunday for me. No one can ruin that tell you, nothing can ruin going out to dinner on a fucking Friday,
Saturday, or Sunday for me. No one can ruin that for me. Nothing can ruin that for me.
Not even an alcohol allergy that's preventing me from drinking the glass of wine that I so
desperately think that I need and deserve. I'm kind of kidding, okay? I actually don't miss
drinking that much, but there was something so fucking delightful
about having a glass of wine out at a restaurant for dinner.
I miss it, but not that much.
I'm being dramatic.
I don't know how the caffeine affected me.
I actually didn't have that much.
I probably drank like a third of my matcha latte.
So from a caffeine standpoint, like I should be okay.
And that episode shouldn't have been too chaotic
because I didn't have that much more caffeine than usual.
I am going to take all of the ice out of this matcha latte
and put it in the fridge and drink it tomorrow
because I know I cannot have any more.
I really cannot have any more.
We're done.
We're done. We're done.
That's my daily routine.
I hope that this was somewhat interesting to you.
Like I truly, after I stop recording this episode,
will pray up to whatever is above
that you found this somewhat interesting.
The only glimmer of hope that I have
is that if somebody else made this episode,
I would be interested in it.
But maybe I'm a freak and a stalker and maybe I'm overly interested in other human beings.
Maybe I'm weird.
Maybe that's a weird thing.
I don't know.
So hopefully you enjoyed this episode.

Anyway, I'm sorry Ellen DeGeneres, I don't know.
I just, people say I look like Ellen DeGeneres
in my pixie cut, so that's why I said that.
It's nothing personal to Ellen.
Ellen, don't like hurt me or something.
Okay, that's it.
I love you all.

It always is.
