body skincare and kombucha, things i like rn

21:31Emma Chamberlain:listen, if you're already using this and you already love it, then, you know, I'm preaching to the choir here, but it's so good. I just, those two editing things, I just, I use them so often and I'm so obsessed. Okay, moving on. L.L. Bean toiletry bags. I use toiletry bags more than the average person, I would say, because most people only use a toiletry bag when they travel. I use a toiletry bag every single day because I go to my workout class, not every day, but many, many times a week. And I shower there because I do heated workouts where I'm in a hot room when I'm doing my workout. So I sweat a lot.

22:16Emma Chamberlain:Like I'm drenched and I can't get in my car when I'm that sweaty because over time it'll cause issues, right? Like if you, if you've sweat on your body and you're sitting in your car for like 15, 20 minutes a day with that sweat on your body, it starts getting into the seatbelt and then your seatbelt starts to smell. Your seats start to smell, like everything starts to smell weird and bad. So immediately after my exercise, I shower because I just, I can't, I'm too sweaty to get in my car. So I use a toiletry bag almost every day. And then also I travel a lot, less so nowadays, but I used to travel a lot.

22:59Emma Chamberlain:I get good use out of toiletry bags and I've gone through quite a few, worn them out. And recently it was time to get a new toiletry bag. And so I decided to get the L.L. Bean brand toiletry bags. They're classic. Growing up, both of my parents had L.L. Bean toiletry bags. They were cute. I'm pretty sure they were embroidered. That's like, you know, a signature L.L. Bean thing. And I don't know, but I always kind of thought of them as being like almost too classic. Like, ah, you know, I want to get a cool, unique toiletry bag, something more trendy, something more fun. Because, you know, the L.L.

23:38bean one. It's like so classic. And it's like, you know, the original, like, it's just so basic, you know? No, it is the best toiletry bag I've ever had. And it's so cute. I got a black one and I got it embroidered in Times New Roman font, aka my favorite font. Like, it's perfect. And it's so good. It's so good. It's high quality. It's super spacious, but also it consolidates and zips up really nicely. It's easy to carry around. You can clip it on anything. It has a little built-in mirror in it. It is amazing. This is the best toiletry bag I've ever had. And I've had a bunch of trendy, cute ones, whatever.

24:18No, this is the most efficient. And I mean like space efficient, but also like pocket efficient. Like it has the best pockets and it has the little mirror. It's just perfect. And I love it. And I use it every day.

24:32Emma Chamberlain:And I'm never going back. I think it's classic for a reason. So moving on. Since I've gotten my haircut short, my hair routine has simplified to just one product. At this point, I use one product. And I'm talking about post-shower. Like obviously, I have to shampoo and condition and I use K18, the like hair mask that helps with molecular bonding in the hair. I don't even get what it does. But it doesn't matter because it does a good job, I guess. I have other products that I use. But when it comes to like styling my hair, 98 % of the time, I'm using one product. There is a 2 % where I'm using other products, but for the most part, I'm just using one product.

25:18Emma Chamberlain:And it's from the brand In Common, and it's called the Magic Mist 4-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner, Detangler, Smoothing Balm, and Heat Protectant. Okay, all I do after the shower is spray this all over my hair, toss a little around and shape it in the way I want it to dry, perhaps put a hood on so that it dries flat. And then my hair is perfect. That's the end of it. There are times where I might want to add a bit more volume. So I might spray in a volumizing spray or like a sea salt spray or something like that if I really want a certain vibe. But I'm not kidding. 98 % of the time, I'm just using this product.

26:00I put it in after the shower. And then if I need a little refresh. I'll just spray more of it in.

26:05Emma Chamberlain:I just, it just for some reason is the perfect product for my hair. And it's all I use. I go through bottles of this shit. I, it's so good. But speaking of hair products, I discovered something this summer that I think is kind of life-changing. I didn't know that this existed, but my hairstylist clued me in because I was getting a little bit stressed out at the beginning of the summer about how to take care of my bleached hair during the summertime. It's hot. I'm going in the saltwater. I'm going into pools. Like, how do I protect my bleached hair from becoming brittle and whatever? And my hairstylist was like, well, there's a few things you could do.

26:47Emma Chamberlain:You know, you could put a bit of conditioner in your hair before you go in a pool or before you go in the ocean. But also, if you're just worried about sort of burning your hair in the sun, you could use hair sunscreen. And I was like, what? Hair sunscreen. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Yes, it exists. Hair sunscreen. So I bought hair sunscreen. I think I'm using one from the brand Aveda. And it's wonderful. When I was on my summer vacation this summer, every morning before I'd go out into the hot summer day and in the ocean and stuff like that, I'd drench my hair in this hair sunscreen and it kept my hair so soft.

27:26I did not experience any damage from being out in the sun all day, swimming in salt water and the salt water sitting on my hair. It really improved my hair health this summer. And did I use it every day? No, because, you know, I'm not on summer vacation every day. Like a lot of times I'm kind of indoors, like even during the summer. I've been inside a lot this summer as well. Just on the computer, just typing away, sitting in this room, talking away, yapping. So I don't use it every day because I don't have to. But who would have thought? Hair, sunscreen. Truly, I've realized this more and more.

28:04And this is kind of one of the wonderful things about living today is that if you have a problem, there is probably something that can fix

28:13Emma Chamberlain:it. Like, listen, I'm the first one to be like, we shouldn't be buying stuff we don't need, even though I do that sometimes still too. But like, I being an ex shopping addict, I'm the first one to be like, we shouldn't buy things irresponsibly. We shouldn't buy things that are unnecessary. However, if you have a reoccurring issue in your life, or there's something that like, you know, you're like, ah, I don't want to damage my hair. So like, what do I do? Like, do I have to like not go in the ocean this summer? Like, if you have a situation like that where there's something getting in the way of you living your life, or there's something making your life particularly inconvenient to a point that's unnecessary, there's probably something that can fix it.

28:55There's probably something you can find. You know what I mean? And I think that's actually kind of a cool thing. Some people think it's not. Some people think it's like inspiring consumption in a way that's unhealthy. But I think, I actually think it's a smart way to shop, to buy things that truly are going to enhance your life. That's the point of buying stuff. It's like, buy something that actually is going to change your life. You know what I mean? This became a little bit too deep. I think I took this to a philosophical point. Actually, like an existential point that it didn't need to go to.

29:27But anyway, hair sunscreen. Who would have thought saved my hair this summer?

29:32Emma Chamberlain:I briefly paused this episode to let you know that this episode is brought to you by State Farm. Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like trying to make the most perfect birthday cake for a friend, but ending up serving a diabolically dry slice of sponge. You wouldn't settle for crummy cake, so don't settle for just any insurance. When it comes to getting the help you need, State Farm is the real deal. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Now back to the episode. Okay, next. I received this as a gift recently and became obsessed with it.

30:08Emma Chamberlain:It's a very specific product. The Therabody de-puffing wand. Okay. This is quite literally just a little skincare wand. Could fit in a purse. It's pretty small. And all it does, it's a very simple product. the top of it is just it's like a metal what even how do you even describe it I'm going to insert an image of it so that you can see it but the top of it is basically just like a little metal orb of sorts tip and you can basically either make it warm or cold and then you can rub it on your face and it helps I guess with deep puffing maybe if you use the warm setting it helps like your skin absorb skincare products, I think, allegedly.

30:57I don't know. I don't really care. I don't care about what it does. Okay. I love this thing just because it feels so good. I don't even care. I don't care about what it's doing for my skin. That's not why I like it. It's just so soothing. Okay. I'll tell you when I use it. After I do my exercise for the day and I do my morning, afternoon skincare, I'll just walk around and rub this thing on my face on the cool setting. I prefer the cool setting right now because it's summer. I don't know how I'm going to feel during the winter. I might still end up using the cool setting, but I might switch to the warm setting because it'll be cold out, you know, so we'll see.

31:34But right now I'm just using the cool setting. And I just rub this thing on my face and it's so cold and it feels so good. And listen, is it kind of an unnecessary item? Absolutely. But I got it as a gift. And now that I have it, I'm loving it. Like would I have ever bought this on my own? No, never. I would have been been like, that's an unnecessary product. But now that I have it, I'm kind of obsessed with it. It's soothing. It's relaxing. It like relaxes my facial muscles. It's just so wonderful. Could you just use like an ice cube for sure? Or like a spoon? Like you could honestly leave a spoon.

32:12If you want to try this out and see if it's something you enjoy, just put a spoon in the freezer. And then once you do your skincare and you're all, you know, lubed up, get that spoon out and just rub it around on your face. It'll have the exact same effect. You don't need to buy this product. But I mean, if you really want to, sure. But using a cold spoon would do the same thing. But there's something so soothing about it. And it's just very easy to use because I press a button and it gets really cold and then I can rub it on my face. Listen, I don't know what it is about it. I love it. I use it in the morning or afternoon after my early in the day skincare.

32:46but then I also use it in the evening after I do my late in the day skincare, whenever that happens. And I just rub it around on my face because it feels good and it's soothing and it just makes me happy for some reason. I have this habit of wearing a cross body bag around my house, which people think is so weird, but I think it's genius and I think everyone should be doing it. Like I have things I want to carry around the house with me. My phone, sometimes a portable charger, some sort of oral fixation of the moment. Right now it's nicotine pouches. Sometimes it's toothpicks. It used to be the vape, but we're not on that right now.

33:27Okay. But we are on the nicotine pouches. So, you know, we're not, we're not fully quit right now, but at least we're not inhaling the vape. But you know what I'm saying? Like I always have things I want to carry around the house. I'm now carrying around this little de-puffing wand in my little cross body bag, just in case I want to rub my face with it. Like it's really, it's close to me. I think that I have sort of a self-soothing routine that requires like little items, you know, whether it's an oral fixation or it's using this de-puffing wand on my face,

34:00Emma Chamberlain:like having little things that give me a sensorial experience helps to alleviate my anxiety a little not in the most significant way ever, you know? Is it as effective as deep breathing? Probably not, but there's something about it that is very comforting to me. Like I have little comfort items. And that actually dates back to when I was a child. I always had certain items that I kept with me at all times that gave me a sense of calm and were soothing for me. Like when I was younger, it was stuffed animals. I always had a certain stuffed animal and I would bring it with me everywhere. And then it got to the point where it was like unacceptable.

34:43Like it was like, okay, Emma's too old. So then my parents got me a teeny tiny little stuffed animal that fit in my pocket. Nobody would see it. And then eventually I grew out of it. So that in sucking my thumb kept me calm, cool and collected as a young person. And it's interesting because I've grown up and done a similar thing. Oral fixation with the vape, you know, always having some sort of oral fixation around if I'm not vaping, using little things like this de-puffing wand that's cold and like using that on my face when I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed or something or just to like bring me a further sense of calm during the day.

35:20I don't know why that stuff just works for me, but this has entered into my routine in that way. And it's funny because the person who gave me the gift also is very anxious. And that's why they like it too. They don't even care about the de-puffing. They just have found peacefulness in it. And I have too. I get it. I get the hype. Okay, moving on. I've been really loving, and this is a bougie product, but I've been really loving it. Westman Atelier makeup. All of it. All of it.

35:51Emma Chamberlain:The brown mascara, the hydrating skin tint product, the bronzing stick, the highlighting stick. Like I, I, I'm loving all of it. I've been using so, I mean, I use other products too. I have, I have other brands in my rotation, but for whatever reason, I'm just gravitating. I think it makes sense why I'm gravitating towards their products. I mean, number one, very hydrating, feels healthy on the skin. that's number one. Number two, the products are formulated really well. Like it's natural stuff, you know, it's not like super glam makeup. It's pretty natural, not super extreme, you know, not super pigmented.

36:38It's like a bit more light, airy, dewy, whatever. The products feel lighter, you know. I love that though. So that works for me. But also the packaging is so wonderful. And I'm somebody who's like, I do like romanticizing the little moments in my life when I can. And there's something about their packaging. Like it's just, it's so beautiful. And it, I like holding it in my hand. Like there's just the user experience is so amazing. And it's, listen, it's not cheap, but I, I love it. And so I have to mention it because I've just been using all those products and I like it. So that's like, that's like my makeup brand go-to of the moment.

37:19However, there are so many other products that I really like that are from other brands, but they're just standing out as like my go-to for majority of things right now. Not everything though, but I don't know. I'm just kind of obsessed. I like, I get the hype. There's hype and it's for good reason. But speaking of makeup, another makeup product I'm obsessed with is the Makeup Forever Extreme Waterproof Liner.

37:45Emma Chamberlain:this lip liner is the best it's okay listen here's why it's the best because it actually does stay on for hours it actually stays on listen is it the most smooth beautiful like oh it just glides on no it's because it's so waterproof it is a bit of a thicker formula like when you're putting it on it's like a bit maybe it's not like super smooth it doesn't like glide on perfectly. It's a bit, I don't know how to explain it, like thicker. And you know, you have to kind of go over the lip line a few times to kind of get it perfectly opaque and make the line look perfect. But let me tell you, it stays on.

38:30And that's the thing about lip liner that's always been so annoying to me. I used to use the Makeup Forever lip liner that was not the extreme waterproof one, just the regular one. And I loved that lip liner. I mean, I've gone through probably what, 15 of them, like top to bottom. I've used that up a bazillion times. But I think the reason why I went through 15 is because I used to have to reapply that lip liner over and over and over and over again. Like I would have one sip of water. Oop, it's gone. But the color was so nice that I was like, oh, it's fine. You know, like this is, I guess this is just what lip liner is.

39:07And then I found out that they have the same shade of lip liner in the waterproof Extreme one. And I was like, wait, this is amazing. I'm going to try that because it's literally the same lip liner I've been using, just not going to rub off in 30 seconds. Lo and behold, it's amazing. It stays on. They have my favorite shade, which is wherever walnut just works for me for whatever reason. And so I'm obsessed. It's great. Honestly, like lip products that stay on all day are hard to find because the lips are constantly, you know, they just want the product to come off. So it's so exciting to find something that actually lasts forever.

39:48And that's somewhat of a recent discovery. Okay, next. I am loving my local farmer's market. I've gone through farmer's market phases before. But you know, it's like usually on a really specific day. And like, sometimes I have different plans for like my Sunday morning. I don't want to go to the farmer's market. Like I want to do something else. So I've never really gotten into the routine of going, but for this last month or so, maybe I've been going very consistently and getting specific things. And there's just something so wonderful about it. I love, I mean, there's so many things I love about it.

40:28Number one, the quality of produce and the quality of like pre-made food is so good. And it's so like, it feels so homemade, you know, compared to buying things from a chain grocer, which I loved. Listen, there are certain things that I need to get from the grocery store that are in my diet. You know what I mean? I can't get everything from the farmer's market, but I try to get as many things from there as I possibly can. And it's just everything's so high quality, but also it's a social experience. You know, you're going to everyone's individual little shop and you're talking it up and you're picking out fun stuff.

41:06And then, you know, you're going to the next one and then you're trying samples and it's, you know, a beautiful morning. It's just there's something so wonderful about it. And I've recently been getting specific things that have been such a wonderful part of my food routine. Like I get specific produce items, of course. But then I've also been getting eggs from the farmer's market. And then I've been going to these little shops that have pre-made stuff. Like my favorite hummus is at the farmer's market. I get this spicy hummus. And then I also just discovered this sort of French market where they have a bunch of pre-made French stuff.

41:44And they sell my favorite French carrot salad that I've only been able to find in France. It's so random. It's like shredded carrots with a simple vinaigrette sounds so basic. Like it should be easy to find, but you cannot find it here for some reason. You'd have to make it from scratch, which I don't know. The way that the carrots are shredded for this particular French salad is very specific. It's like very fine shreds of carrots. And I don't even know how you shred carrots that finely. I could probably figure it out pretty easily and do it myself, but I've never been inspired enough. And so I found that they have it at the farmer's market pre-made and it lasts a whole week, you know?

42:26And so I've been really loving that. I also have been getting this sourdough, this local sourdough. Oh, it's just so fun. It's so fun and it tastes so good. And so that leads me to my current food obsession, like my favorite food obsession, which is a very interesting combo. It actually isn't that interesting. It makes sense from a flavor profile perspective, but I've never seen anyone else eat this. So it's kind of a, seems to be like an Emma thing, but maybe I'm a narcissist and this is like not an Emma thing. This is the recipe. Okay. Pretty simple. A few pieces of toasted sourdough, thin to medium slice.

43:08Okay. Not too thick. Put that in the toaster. Spicy hummus, slather that on top of the pieces of crispy bread. And then on top of that, this French carrot salad. Okay. I know what you're thinking. Oh wait, no, sorry. That's not it. There's more. Flaky sea salt cracked on top, black pepper cracked on top and sesame seeds. Listen, toasted, toasted sesame seeds. Okay. It's so good. To me, it's the new avocado toast. It's like, I don't even want avocado toast because I have this toast that I'm doing. It's so good. I don't know. Oh my God, maybe I'll eat it after this. Maybe that'll be my lunch today.

43:49It's so good. It's so random, but it's so good. But it's very specific. Like if you want to, it's like, it's such specific ingredients, but I think you could recreate it if you wanted to. So if you're feeling inspired to try that combo, try it. Okay. Moving on. I have two more food items, less so obsessions. Like this is like my, this is like my meal obsession of the moment. Like I always have some sort of meal obsession. Like I was really into making bowls for a while. That was like my obsession. And then that became less of an obsession. Like it's still something I eat, but it's like less of an obsession because now it's just a part of my routine.

44:30Now this is my new obsession. This is the new thing that feels exciting. Anyway, my dessert obsession, chocolate strawberries,

44:39Emma Chamberlain:obsessed, okay? All you got to do is cut up some strawberries, pour some chocolate chips into a little cup, throw that in the microwave, and then take a fork and pick up pieces of strawberries and dip them into the chocolate and then take bites. I'm obsessed with doing this. It is so good. It's so easy. And it's like fun. There's something fun about it. It's like fondue. With some farmer's market strawberries. And for me, some dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate. I prefer dark chocolate, which is, again, another example of my prefrontal cortex truly hardening and forming. When I was younger, I used to be like, I like dark chocolate better, but I think it's just because I wanted to be cool and mature.

45:25But now I actually prefer it, which is so interesting. I never thought that that would happen. I always thought that I would think milk chocolate tasted better, but now my palate has refined and I like funky tasting stuff. I like dark chocolate. I like cheese. I like wine. Don't drink anymore, but I loved wine. I love pickles and olives. I mean, I've always liked that stuff, but the older I get, the more I like it and the more weird I want flavors to get, the more bitter, the more sour, the more interesting. I don't know. And now things that are just like simply sweet or simply really salty are less intriguing to me.

46:03Like the older I get, the more I need complex flavors to stimulate my brain. So anyway, chocolate strawberries, easy, quick, yummy, fiberful dessert. Except if you eat it too late, the dark chocolate might keep you up a bit. Beware of that because that started to happen to me. I had to kind of put like a curfew on my chocolate strawberries. Like after a certain hour, I can't eat them because I won't be able to sleep. Okay, moving on to my final obsession. I've been really enjoying kombucha. Yeah, I'm just as confused as you are. I discovered kombucha as a child because my mom got really into it when I was like probably 10 years old.

46:47And I used to actually drink kombucha with her. We would drink it together. Not the alcoholic one, of course, because some of them have alcohol in it. But, you know, she would get a kombucha for herself and then she'd be like, do you want one? And I would get one too. And so I used to drink it as a kid and I always really liked it. And then I kind of grew out of that phase. My mom grew out of that phase. We just stopped drinking kombucha. And then ever since then, like every once in a while, I'd be like, oh, maybe I'll get a kombucha. It kind of sounds good. But for some reason lately, I've been really, really craving it.

47:20Like I just need it. I don't know why. But whenever my body like really wants something like that, I just listen to it. Like there was a long period of time where for some reason I was craving apple cider vinegar in sparkling water. Like that just tasted so good to me. And then one day I woke up and I was like, eh, I don't really need that. And so I've kind of fallen off the wagon with that a little bit, which is fine. I'm just not in the mood for it anymore. Kombucha has sort of replaced that. And it's another very vinegar-esque drink.

47:53Emma Chamberlain:It's tart, it's acidic, whatever. It's kind of astringent. It's a similar vibe, but for some reason, the kombucha just sounds really good to me. So I've been drinking a lot of kombucha lately. Not like a lot though, like one glass a day, but it's just like a nice, refreshing, tasty vibe. Like I'll usually have a little glass of it after lunch and it's so wonderful. I don't know why I'm craving it, but I've realized in my life that if I'm craving something, it's because I need it for some reason. Like I'll have phases where I just need to eat bananas. Okay. Maybe my body needs potassium, you know, or like maybe I need the sugar to help recover from a workout.

48:34Like maybe my body's craving that type of sugar. Like, I don't know. I don't know what it is. It's just my body really will specifically crave stuff. And I honor it now more than ever because I'm like, why not? If my body wants kombucha, I will drink it. So I've been drinking kombucha. The specific one I like is GT Synergy Trilogy. Yeah. So do it that way you will. It's like a raspberry lemon, I think. I actually don't even really know what the flavor profile is. I think it's raspberry lemon. So good. Loving it. Okay, moving on. Tide to go stick. Yeah. I mean, I've been using Tide to go sticks for like a year now, but I swear something about the last few months, I've needed that Tide to go stick so much.

49:19Like I'm whipping that thing out on like a bi weekly basis. It is so useful and it really gets the stains out. I mean, you have to be careful. You can't use it on all materials. Like the other day, I got a bit of mustard on a silk skirt. And I was like, can I use a Tide to go stick on a silk skirt? The answer was no. But I also got a little bit of mustard on a white tank top that I was wearing. And I was able to use the Tide to go stick on the white tank top and it got it out pretty well. I'm obsessed with the Tide to go stick. It really, it can be a game changer. I've truly turned my day around with the Tide to Go stick.

50:00Just being able to like, I mean, you know what it is, or maybe you don't. If you don't know what a Tide to Go stick is, it's a little stick. It looks like a pen. And if you get a stain, you can basically use this little stick and rub the little marker felt tip thing on your stain, and it helps get it out. And it does pretty good. Listen, if you spill a whole coffee on your chest, good luck. You know, you need to go home if that happens. But for a little stain, there's almost something worse about like a little stain. There's something so frustrating about like having a little stain. Like if you're wearing like a white shirt and you have one tiny little stain in the center, it's like almost better if you just spill your whole fucking coffee on your chest because then it's like a bit.

50:42You can be like, well, you guys like clumsy over here. But when there's like a little stain, there's something about it that just is so irritating, almost more so than just spilling all over yourself. I don't know why. That's how my brain works. Doesn't really make sense. Next. This is so random. So like stick with me here.

51:01Emma Chamberlain:I am obsessed with metal spatulas. Okay. I always used to use for a long time. I was using like silicone squishy spatulas. No, I'm done. Okay. Actually got, I don't even remember. I got a metal spatula in a PR package with a cookbook from a friend who made a cookbook a while ago. And I never used it. Like I forgot that I had it because I was so in the routine of using my like silicone spatulas. And then one day I like really needed to like get under something when I was cooking and the squishy like silicone one just like wasn't cutting it. So I got out the metal spatula and it worked so well. And I was like, oh shit, this is the new way.

51:51This is the new way. And I'm so obsessed with it. And I use this metal spatula for other things as well. Like when I'm trying to move, like let's say I make a little thing out of clay and I want to move it and it's not fully dry yet or something, I can like get under it with the spatula, move it around. You know, I could use it to like peel something off. Like if I have something that has like a label on it and I want to scratch the label off, I can use this metal spatula for that. I use this thing. I use it for cooking and it's amazing for cooking, but I use it for a trillion other things as well.

52:25This is like just a random little kitchen tool that for some reason has become everything to me.

52:31Emma Chamberlain:The specific brand I have is OXO, O-X-O. And if you want to find it for yourself, it's called OXO brand metal cut and serve Turner spatula. I don't know why it's the most amazing thing that's ever come into my life, but I really love it. It's great. And I use it for so many different things. Speaking of cooking equipment, I've always struggled with finding the right cooking pan for me. Okay. I've tried it all. Stainless steel, which is like classic, ceramic nonstick. I've used it all. Okay. And I've gone through these pans and destroyed them for two different reasons. With the stainless steel pans, I've always struggled with like stuff really sticks to them.

53:16And I've always struggled with that element. Like it's really hard to use them properly so that the pans don't get a bunch of gunk stuck to them to the point where they're kind of like permanently ruined, you know? I don't know. And then with ceramic nonstick, I've always really been frustrated. And I know this sounds like I'm cringing at what I'm about to say because, well, you'll see why. Because I can't put them in the dishwasher, okay? And I hate hand washing pots and pans. I'll hand wash anything else. I don't care. Like if I have a cute little mug that's hand washed because it's like handmade, no problem.

53:55You know, there's something about hand washing pots and pans that drives me absolutely nuts. And the stainless steel pans I can put in the dishwasher. That's great. But they get so dirty and everything sticks to them. And I just struggle with using them so much. Even when I like follow instructions on how to use them properly, I just like, there's always user error for some reason with them. It's too hard. I need to just be able to like turn the fucking stove on and use it, you know, but then with the ceramic, they work really well. Things don't stick to them as much, but I can't put them in the dishwasher and it's so frustrating and it's fine.

54:32It's I'm being, I'm being a complete diva. Listen, okay. My 10 year old self who was like doing the dishes, you know, as a chore because I didn't have a dishwasher growing up, you know, in, in any of my homes growing up, I did not have a dishwasher or an ice maker. Those were two things I was so excited to have once I moved out. I was like, I just want an ice maker and a dishwasher. Please. Like, oh my God. I was so excited about those two things. And there's, it's what wonderful technology, truly. I could not appreciate those two things more, but my 10 year old self would be so fucking annoyed with me right now being like, I'm annoyed with ceramic cookware because I can't put it in the dishwasher.

55:13It's like, yeah, but everything else can go in the dishwasher. You brat. Like I know that what I'm saying is cringe. I know that it's stupid, but I feel this way. And I'm just, I'm just, I'm just speaking the truth. I'm just telling you the truth. I'm telling you how I feel. All of this to say, I've always felt, cause I have a few ceramic pieces and a few stainless steel pieces. I've always felt like, okay, at some point I'm going to donate these pieces. And it got to a point recently where I was like, you know what? I want to find the solution. Is there cookware out there that's nonstick, but also dishwasher safe?

55:52Emma Chamberlain:It was not easy to find. Okay. It was not easy to find. But eventually I found it. And it was from the brand Our Place. Our Place has nonstick dishwasher safe pans. And I was so excited. and so now I have some wonderful pans it's only really for frying pans that this was necessary when it comes to like boiling pots for like boiling pasta or whatever I still am just using my stainless steel ones because like there's no I'm not like cooking stuff I'm like boiling stuff in pots usually I'm making hard-boiled eggs I'm making pasta that I don't need that to be non-stick It was the frying pans that I was just so frustrated with, you know?

56:40Anyway, so the R Place frying pans, I mean, changed my life. I'm so obsessed. They work so well and they're in the dishwasher and it's just so exciting and I love them. So, okay, moving on to yoga socks, Pilates socks. Okay, I've been a yoga Pilates princess for a while now. I do heated yoga, Pilates, whatever. Okay. That's the routine I'm on. And I've been doing that for a while and I really love it and I really enjoy it. However, I started chafing on my toes and it wasn't healing because I do it enough that like it would just every day or like every, whenever I would go and do a workout, it would just like aggravate the toe blisters.

57:27My toes were like raw, you know, and like chafed in a bit. I don't know how to explain it, but they were like starting to, yeah, they were like raw and chafed. And there was like a bit of a blister forming and it just wasn't going away because I wasn't stopping, you know, going to the workout because I love it too much. And so then I discovered yoga socks, Pilates socks, whatever you want to call it. It's basically just a pair of socks that have sticky stickies on the bottom. Life-changing.

57:54Emma Chamberlain:Within three days, I'm not even kidding, three days of wearing these socks, rawness, blisters, everything gone. Very niche product, but I will say for me, life-changing. For you, maybe not, okay? But for me, life-changing and obsessed. Okay, and last but not least, I have been loving Drew Gooden's YouTube videos. You know Drew Gooden. If you don't, that's shocking because He's a very popular YouTuber. I've been watching Drew Gooden for years, but there's something about him right now at this exact phase in my life. I need to be around. I need to hang out with him right now. Do you know what I'm saying?

58:32That happens to me with YouTubers for sure. But for whatever reason right now, it's Drew Gooden. And so I've just been spending a lot of time with Drew Gooden. It's like, it's funny because I'm on the internet and people have a parasocial relationship with me in some ways, but I also have parasocial relationships with YouTubers. So I understand, like, I have that too. I get it. But he's just like, I don't know. There's something about it. It's lighthearted enough to like calm my anxiety down. It's just the perfect content for me right now for some reason. Like, it's about interesting topics, but they're also not so serious that it like gives me anxiety.

59:10But also he's funny. So it's like nice to like smile and chuckle. I don't know. It's just like what I need right now in my life. So I've been loving Drew Gooden, watching a lot of it. and I'm really nervous that he's going to find out that I said this. And then it's like, listen, it's a compliment, but for some reason, it's like weirdly vulnerable to be like, well, I've been hanging out with you a lot lately. And he's like, who the fuck are you? You know what I mean? I don't know. I just like, it is a scary thing to say out loud, but I'm saying it because it's true. So anyway, that's everything.

59:41That's all the things I've been obsessed with lately. I'll be back in a few months with a brand new list of things. If you want to hear my past lists of things that I was either obsessed with in the past or I discovered a long time ago and I'm still obsessed with, but, you know, not a new discovery anymore.
