0:00The following podcast is a dear media production. Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of Let's Get Dressed. It's your host, Flip Perez. I hope you guys all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends, family, Friendsgiving, whatever you guys did. I was feeling so grateful last week. Of course, that feels on theme, but I was also just feeling so grateful for this incredible community that we have brought together this year. It's been a dream year for me on the podcast. I was able to rebrand and get to show up on the mic every week talking about something that I love so much while also being able to find a community of people that love it just as much as I do and also get to chat with some people that I really admire on the show every week.
0:44So a big thank you to you guys for basically letting me have my dream job. It is so much fun to be able to be here every week with you guys and meet so many of you and chat with so many of you guys. So thank you again for supporting me and supporting the show. We are past Thanksgiving. It is Monday. We've got three weeks left of the year. I am truly shocked of how we're already there. But if you are going into a really crazy work period right now, Q4, emails, projects, closing up shop on all the things, I'm sending you love. I'm sending you strength. You guys got this. We're so close to the end.
1:17Today's episode is with one of my friends whose style and beauty secrets I have been dying to know, but have not been able to ask her when we've been out and about. So being able to have a podcast is also a very great thing because I get to bring my friends on and interrogate them about all these things. And that is Christina Nadin. Whether it's her perfect hair, gorgeous skin that you guys probably recognize from the Summer Fridays ads on your TSA bins at LAX, or her really chic and colorful, cool style, Christina's built a following of close to a million people who love to get a glimpse into her everyday life.
1:50In today's episode, I interrogated her about her best kept hair and skincare secrets, how she creates her closet, and where she actually buys the perfect white tank, which she was wearing for the episode. You can also watch this episode on YouTube, of course, and you can see the white tank there. We also talk about her journey as a brand founder and starting her hair accessories brand Bahaikubo and the influence of her mom and her Filipino roots in the brand and her personal style too. Also, there is a brand new holiday drop on Bahaikubo right now that is so cute. It's a velvet red and black scrunchie that is adorable.
2:25You can go shop it at the link in the description of this episode. If you're looking for a stocking stuffer or you have a friend who loves scrunchies, this is the gift, guys. I hope you all love the episode. Let's go get dressed with Christina Naden. Hey, Christina. Welcome to the show. How's it going, Liv? I'm so excited to have you here. It's crazy. This is finally happening. I know. This is your first pod. Yeah. How do you feel? I feel okay. Yeah, it's okay. I mean, I'm talking to my friend, so it's fine. Yeah. But yeah, We were planning to do this a while ago now, before I went to the Philippines.
2:58We've been talking about this since August. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was like, let's do it. And then you left for Fashion Month. I left for Fashion Month. And then you left for the Philippines for a long time. Just hectic, hectic lives now. You know what? You're always on the go. You're always like traveling to the most beautiful places. I can't blame you. I know. You don't need to be here in our studio doing the part. It's hard. It's hard to leave. When I'm in the Philippines, it's really difficult to leave. Like I was supposed to stay for two weeks. And then I ended up being there for just over a month.
3:24let me tell you when I like look at the pictures that I see you post from the Philippines you've made it like a bucket list destination for me because I've never been but I don't blame you like I see the most gorgeous beaches and like incredible food it looks insane it's like I think sometimes being in LA you kind of forget there's other places in the world that like are so beautiful and like I think I'm so happy that I grew up with both being British and also being Filipino and like having that every summer I'd go there as a kid. And it was like the most simple, best times in my life growing up.
4:00So being able to do that now and like being on the island, having the simple life and just appreciating those things like is my favorite thing ever. I have like a very controversial question to ask. Do you think LA is beautiful? I don't even know why I even said that. No. Just confirming. I had to confirm. I think I was trying to say like when I zoom out of it's such a bubble LA sometimes yes that the things that even the things that you stress out about here in the grand scheme of things nothing is that deep yes I think it's nice to be there for a hub like I love my house and I love I'm such a homebody so I love being at home having my friends around my routine here is great like I love working out and your healthy food and you you know I have the best postmate orders every day oh we know so queen of the good food yeah so it's that's great but I have to leave every few months that's what when people ask me what like the biggest difference between living in New York and LA is it's that my routine in LA is 10 times healthier yeah like New York I would get up in the morning two shots of espresso getting on the subway which like for me was like a high anxiety thing.
5:12Being in a bustling city like here, I take things a little bit slower, which is good and bad. Yeah. I feel that. Good and bad. Yeah. I'm so excited to have you on the show for a lot of reasons, but I've always loved your style. You have a style that's very unique to you and your personality. And I would love to know how you get dressed every day. Walk us through what a morning's like. You're at home, you're in your closet, you're like rummaging through clothes. Do you start with an item or do you start with a feeling? How does it work? It obviously depends what I'm doing that day. But my day to day, I love to be comfy.
5:45I have quite a boyish style. I'm either in sweats 95 % of the time. I also love primary colors. Like I love a good crew neck. I love a good vintage tee, a good staple jean. And I love sneakers. I like the primary color comment because I can see that. Like I feel like when I see you're in like a great red or a great yellow. And even right now, like your outfit's relatively neutral, but you've got this like chartreuse kind of like lime green sweater around your shoulders. And that makes the whole outfit. Yeah. Like I'm pretty simple with what I wear, but I always add like a little bit of color, even like with a scrunchie.
6:24Like I'd put and that would make my look. I love a primary color. Love a good red. I love the holiday set that you just gave me. That bright red is so beautiful. We're launching that on the 4th or 3rd of December. Right when this episode's coming out, guys. That's so exciting. I know. They're so cute. Perfect. Like, honestly, I feel like I could wear a little black dress and like that red velvet scrunchie and just be so cute. Yeah, it's been it's been a really cool learning curve, like making a brand, seeing it from the other side and even just every step of making a product, the box, the PR, like you don't know how much goes into it.
7:00So now I'm like, OK, every single thing matters. So, yeah, it's been a really, really cool journey. I know your mom was highly influential in the brand and I love seeing you post about her and like your connection how has that influenced the making of the brand yeah it's kind of crazy when I had the event I actually walking in I actually started crying like to myself because it has become I start crying now it has become like a big journey of even just discovering more about my roots and also discovering more about my mum and my family and yeah it wasn't actually planned to do that but I was like going through old images of my mum like they really recorded and so much of our childhood and their relationship my mum and dad and that was so cool to see and seeing my mum wearing oversized scrunchies big accessories like that really made the brand for me.
8:02So the name of the brand is Bahakubo. It symbolizes being part of a community and appreciating the simple things in life. And that's how my mom grew up. She grew up in like a really small village in the province and they didn't come from a lot of money. They didn't come from a lot of anything and they were super happy with what they had. It's really difficult to talk about your own brand. I think that's like the most, it's like a vulnerable thing, isn't it? I didn't really realize what I was doing when I was making a brand so intimate about myself and my family and how I grew up. But I'm happy that I have been doing it.
8:38I love showing people part of my life now, especially how I grew up. And sometimes I post images of my family when I was a kid. Those little snippets, people don't even know that I'm Filipino. So it's nice to show that about me. I think it's really great. And I think it's been the most natural integration for you of all time because you have the most incredible hair. Is this genetic or is there something that you do to keep it as stunning as it is? I mean, my mom has better hair than me. What? Yeah. I'm stressed. My thinning hair is stressing out. Oh my God, stop it. No, she has really good, thick, wavy, curly hair.
9:19And that was obviously one of the inspirations. Like the reason why I made the brand was because my mom had the most amazing hair. She had always the biggest scrunchies and these are my mom's earrings actually from the 90s like so she was a big impact so it's genetics but I do look after my hair okay what are you doing to keep your hair as like incredible as it is I love the leave-in treatment from k18 I use that once a week I mean if it's really dry I just put that in or I have like a gloss put in How often are you styling it? Depends. Like if I'm in LA once a week, I'll do like a blowout like this.
10:01And then it lasts me for a week. Are you doing that blowout? Yeah. Girl, that's a workout. No, no, I know. It's not actually. Really? I feel like when I air wrap my hair and like put it up. Oh my God, I'm like sweating afterwards. Yeah, I don't like the air wrap. So if you're not using the air wrap, what are you using? Any hairdryer. Like even if I'm at a hotel and the ones that are like wired. With a rolling brush? Yeah. Like old school. Yeah. Anything you're putting after to like let it hold? A week's a long time. So when my hair's wet, you put the Bumble and Bumble thickening spray into the roots.
10:33Okay, love. And then the wow shiny silver one. It's the spray. Humidity one. Okay, for no frizz? Yeah. And then when it's all pinned up, after, you texturizing spray from a rebate. Okay. That's it. I feel like I just got like the secret to life from the gods. But the only reason why it stays for a week, honestly, I'm not even kidding because of these, because I always put my hair up. So basically, my mom taught me that if you, her hair's naturally curly, wavy. Okay. But she would always wake up with the most amazing hair. But she would just put her hair in like a bun. Okay. When she went to bed and she would wake up like this.
11:14So you just twist, you just put your hair back, you just twisted it. Like in a bun. And you're putting a scrunchie over it. Yeah. See, I'm going to try this out because I have really thin hair. And for thick hair like yours, it will hold that shape. My hair doesn't hold a curl to save my life. Did you curl your hair? Yeah, this morning. This is what it looks like after this morning. No, but it gives a cute like Olsen twin kink. Please, tell us more. But yes, like it's like a very like loose, loose curl. I barely put product in it too because I wanted it to be a loose curl. but for my thin hair girls listening I my hair doesn't hold a curl so I usually need a little bit more but I want to try the scrunchie situation because I feel like I've seen scrunchies making the world of a difference with your hair in bed I also don't like the idea of like my hair just like being out and about while I sleep I feel like that's not letting it letting me wake up with like the best styled hair yeah I need like a little bit more I need a little more help yeah Yeah, it's nice.
12:13I think hair can change your entire wardrobe in the way that you get dressed. I was thinking that today, actually. I think about you, for example, who like you always give like, again, like fun, but also like refined and very chic. And your hair plays such a big role in that. Like the way it moves, like it's so thick and beautiful that like you could be giving Ralph Lauren, but be in like a bathing suit. Yeah. Yeah. I also think about like Morgan Stewart, for example, who's got this like bleach blonde bob and her whole outfit wouldn't look like that if it wasn't for the bob. Like hair, we can even go all the way back to like Friends and like the Rachel haircut.
12:52Like I think hair is deeply influential in the way that we get dressed and the way that it puts your outfit together. I went to the Grove before this, right? And I was wearing basketball, white basketball shorts and a white crew neck. And I had my hair like this. I just felt so put together. hair is everything. And I was literally looking like a boy, but I felt put together because of my hair. A quick break from our conversation to thank the sponsor of today's episode, Posh Peanut. For all of the parents listening or even fellow aunts like me, aunts of many, Posh Peanut has become a go-to for so many of my friends because they truly have the most adorable styles for your kids' closets.
13:30I know we talk about adult fashion here, but while we're at it, we might as well also fill the kids in our lives' closets with very chic things as well. What I love most about Posh Peanut is that their pieces are made with ridiculously soft viscose from bamboo that even stays soft after you wash the clothes over and over again. And that fabric is four times stretchier than cotton, so it will actually grow with your child, which is such a sustainable option for your kids' closets. It's also breathable and chemical-free, which means they're delicate on your baby's sensitive skin. They make thoughtfully crafted, beautiful and stylish clothing, and they even have in-house designs like florals to even your kids' favorite brands like Hot Wheels, Disney, Hello Kitty, and Barbie.
14:08Also with the holidays coming up, it's a perfect opportunity to get some matching sets for the whole family. They make clothes for infants and kids, but they also have sizings for moms and dads if you want the whole family to match. And as I said before, if you're not a parent, consider this the perfect gift idea for anyone. It will definitely be under the tree at my Christmas this season.

14:47Okay, you are like beach aesthetics for me. Like I'm always like, oh, she looks so great. What are some of your favorite bikini brands? Like where are you shopping when you're going home for the Philippines. I feel like I have the best bikinis, actually. I know you do. Yeah. Okay. So it depends what you want for the bikini. Okay. If that makes sense. Yep. So I started, I've been surfing whilst I'm on the island. Okay. The perfect suits for surfing that still make you feel cute, same Los Angeles. Love same. Really love them. They're good because I think they still give like a good amount of coverage because at least I don't surf a lot.
15:22I haven't so long, but I still want like a little coverage while I'm doing that. But they're still really cute. Yeah. And enough coverage, but also like a cheeky little bum. Not too thongy, but cheeky. I just got a bathing suit that was a little too thongy. And like, I don't, I wonder when I'm going to wear it. See, I love the skimpy bikinis for tanning. Yes. And that's it. Yeah. Like, I'm not wearing that around like my husband's family. No. When I'm like taking the kids in the pool. No. It's like when I'm at my girlfriend's house and we're tanning and no one's around. Exactly. Another brand I think have done a good job is Tropic of Sea.
15:58That's Candice Swanepoel's brand. Very good. Love. And also their clothing is really good as well. Oh, I have to try that. Yeah. Okay. Good to know. Any others? I also go for a crochet vibe. Okay. Yeah. How does it not stretch? I mean, when I'm on the island, I'm either wearing crochet or bikinis or linen. Okay. But a crochet bikini, if you get it wet, it's stretching. Yeah, it's getting a little soggy. It's getting a little soggy, guys. Yeah. Let's just be honest here. But. It's more for aesthetics. Aesthetic. Like you're going to the pool party in that. But you're not going in the pool. No. Yeah.
16:31Exactly. It's like your pool party outfit. Exactly. I'm not getting wet. Yeah. And that's a Koa swim. And it's like a Bali little family run business kind of thing. And I love their stuff. Like I live in their stuff. Oh, I love that. Yeah. Yeah. Every time I see you on the beach, I'm like, oh, I don't know where the magic shopping mall is that she goes to with all the great bikinis but you always have the best sets yeah it's just like you have such a great collection i love it's like i feel like i'm my best version when i'm on the beach i love that i love that that's something i'm like trying to work on is like working on i mean i lived in new york for so long that i just didn't have a lot of swimsuits and i feel like swimsuits and workout clothes for me fall in the same category of like i'll just put them on and go.
17:18But I do think, and you do this so well, I often look at your Instagram for inspiration. You do really well at styling those moments. Like you're not just putting on the aloe set and going to work out. You're putting on like a cute little sock with it. Yeah. And yeah, like every time I see you, I'm like, fuck, I did not come prepared. No, socks are really important. Tell me more. I love a good sock. I love the perfect sock. I have the perfect place to buy the socks. You have to tell us because I get asked this all the time. Okay, you don't have to if you don't want to. No, no, no. I will tell you.
17:50It's actually from New York. Give me all your secrets. So basically where I get my socks from, a place in Brooklyn called the General Front Store. Wow. Perfect socks. And you're talking about a sock that you would like put over sneakers, put with a loafer? I'm not really a loafer girl. Okay. I'm not a loafer. I am a loafer girl, but I'm definitely not doing my best work with a loafer right now because of the sock. And I get DM'd about this every single week. Liv, tell us the perfect sock for a loafer or... Comsi for a loafer. I have to try that. Love Comsi. Okay. But for like my day-to-day workout and life, Front General Store, they have like two pairs that are perfect.
18:38Okay. Yeah. Noted. I'm writing all of this down because that's still new territory for me. I'm someone who likes to style what I'm wearing for the day. But when it comes to my workout clothes or even going to the beach, I can't be bothered. Especially because I work out at maybe seven or eight. At that time in the morning, I'm like, no, no, no, no. Just put on the set and go. One of my biggest ics on a guy is footsie socks and ankle socks. I'm looking. They're looking around. Okay. yes because like seeing a man in like the footies is really tough when they take the when they take the shoe off and it's just a footsie sock yeah there's really no excuse for those no okay com c love and the general front store yeah okay but yeah they have it online as well front general store i like buy great loads at a time yeah i feel like you're very good at the cute sock the scrunchie obviously like i'll see you when i work out and you're like wearing an earring.
19:36I sleep with these. My kind of fashion girl. She sleeps in those in her white scrunchie. Oh yeah, 100%. When I was a kid, and this is the true fashion child in me, when I was a kid, I always had a very beautiful pajama on or a cute outfit to bed because what if Prince Charming was coming to get me? He couldn't look at me like that. that's so cute yeah you are that's me you are in the earring in this crunchy ready for anything I'm just thinking if I like if I'm obviously doing like cardio I'll take them off yes obviously but they're not heavy I also want to talk about what you're wearing now because you have like some really great basics on and for me I'm always on the hunt for good basics you have a white tank on that looks relatively thin but I don't see a bra strap what's going on I never wear a bra.
20:29Nothing. No. I can't see anything, babe. But again, when it comes to wife beaters, I have the best ones. No. I am so glad that we got you on this podcast because you're like, I'm a minimal dresser. I like color, I like primary colors, whatever. But I have the best of everything. No, I do. You do? Yeah. You absolutely have the best of everything. Yeah. Okay, but. But I'm like Homer Simpson, though. Like. You know when he opens up his wardrobe and it's like the same thing? And I actually get it from my dad as well because he's the same. I have 100 pairs of jeans, 100 pairs of wife beaters. I have, I mean, unlimited scrunchies.
21:12Like everything's the same. If you go into my wardrobe, it's all the same. Right. But the same, but all the best ones. I love this. Yeah. Okay, you're not going to tell us. I will tell you. Oh, okay, great. And I never, I actually never tell my secrets. Okay, I won't put this on TikTok. are you okay okay we all know about the tank air tank top come on man the tank air two words yes okay okay okay i was like i was like live she's got an amazing british accent i couldn't hear from this far yes tank tops yes really great i mean it's more of like a a little bit more elevated than you know the the normal wife beater yep love that but these ones i actually get vintage Yeah.
21:53All of them? Most of them. The best ones I have are vintage. Just from a vintage store? From a specific vintage store. Moth food, yeah. Moth food. I think it's in Eagle Rock. Well, yeah, it's in Eagle Rock. Well, here's the good thing. I'm not going all the way over there. So good. It's like an appointment only place. Okay. So you're already winning there because you just lost 50 % of the customers here who are like, I'm not doing that. So don't worry. But do you know what? I also, do you know where else I get them from? the front general store in brooklyn in brooklyn are you in brooklyn this much you go online no i literally when i'm in new york i have like two places to go and that's one of them okay it's so great if you guys are listening and not watching on youtube it's literally the perfect tank and i'm i'm shocked you're not wearing a bra i can see nothing yeah it's that perfect thickness i do i do cut them myself though sometimes see i think that's okay i think like knowing your proportions and where the shirt needs to hit especially for a tank is totally fine yeah like i don't recommend it for all shirts but i think tanks you kind of want that feel because it's better than a last like yes i'm also very pro if it's within your budget and you're able to do it getting your t-shirts tailored to where you want them to be yeah especially if it's like your white tee your tank that you wear every single day like those are actually the clothes that i would say like invest more in tailoring than anything because it's like those are every day.
23:14Make sure they fit you. Jeans. Like a little nip in the waist in a place where it's like, you know how the back of your jeans sometimes can like triangle out? It means they don't fit you. Yeah. Like just that tiny little nip in the back can make the world of a difference in your jeans. I think me personally, I'm lazy. So like sometimes I just don't want to go to the tailor. But like, I love that you cut that tank because it's like, that's your everyday and it works. yeah yeah i feel like i pressured you into like some revealing some major fashion secrets i think it was it was time for me to give out some secrets yeah i keep hearing this conversation that everyone's like bring back gatekeeping and fashion and i'm like i'm quite a big gatekeeper yes that goes back to your mystery i know it's like one of my most common asked questions is what's your skincare routine i'm not i'm not pressing i didn't ask you asked it's funny because is the reason why I didn't ever answer it is because I never really had one.
24:10That doesn't surprise me one bit. Are you someone who just like washes your face with water and goes to bed? I used to be. I hate you. Yeah. And that's why like my mom would be the same. We're friends, guys. Don't worry. Everyone's saying we're friends. My mom was the same. Like she still is. She doesn't use like cleansers. However, now I do. One of my friends, Dom, she introduced me to this brand called Osmosis. I've seen it. I have not tried it. Love. okay and you just use their cleanser have a whole step-by-step thing everything from them yeah i'm a huge believer in that i think if you're going to go to a brand that has a multi-step thing you need to use everything from that brand because they all work together they're formulated to work together exactly i love that and like i mean i love glowy makeup and i love a glowy skincare and this these products i feel like make me feel like i'm glowing with it so yeah you should try it you know my cleanser is very off-brand.
25:04Like, I use... Have you ever seen that cleanser that's like Brave Soldier Clean Skin? No. It's a unisex cleanser. It's like, I think my boyfriend in high school used it. Is that what the brand's called? It's literally called Brave Soldier. Do you want to see it? Yeah. Okay. What? Yep. It's literally called Brave Soldier. Is it like sold in Target? No, my dermatologist sells it in her office for starters, but you can get it on Amazon. on. But yeah, it's literally called Brave Soldier. And then the wash that I, I mean, first of all, when you Google Brave Soldier, it's weird. Hold on. Hold on, guys.
25:41It's literally Brave Soldier, clean skin. I've never seen that before. Yeah, it's a, I'm telling you, it's a unisex cleanser. And two weeks ago, I decided to go rogue, which is crazy. I'm 30 years old. What am I doing? Went rogue. I had the craziest breakout, like cystic acne everywhere. I looked like a teenager. And I was like, I guess I got to go back to the brave soldier use the brave soldier and my skin is like perfectly clear like not a not a cloud in the sky as i like it's not broke don't fix it it's true if it's not broke don't fix it that's really how i feel about it thank you for spilling your secrets i'm really sorry but you know what if you're gonna be on our tsa bins and like in my mailbox for like summer fridays and all that stuff i need to know true i do love their new face spray though i mean i love everything they make that's like that's we are we're not even gonna talk about it because it's We already know.
26:28We already know. Yeah. Like there's a lip butter balm in every single one of my purses. Same. It's in my car. It's in my main purse. It's in my work tote. It's probably in my jeans right now. Yeah. Like I can't. That's if someone was to ask me what's the one thing I can't leave my house without. It's that. We'd love that. Yeah, I can't. And then I think of your face. I do want to know one of your like good styling tips because you are a model. You're on sets all the time. Is there something. And I always find that the models know all the tricks. Like you guys see everything behind the scenes. Is there something that you've incorporated in the way that you get dressed or the way that you nip and tuck things in your wardrobe from being on set?
27:02I think it's just less is more. That's all I've learned. I mean, and then just investing in the best simple pieces. Exactly. What about your jeans? Vintage. These ones are from, what's the store called next to Opposite Ear One? RLT. RLT. We talk about RLT on the pod all the time. because it's just so good. Yeah. I don't think there are a lot of great vintage stores in LA that like just offer great basics. Scout's a good one, especially if you walk right into Scout. They actually have a whole pile of tees and tanks. If you ever want to check it out, it's great. But I feel like all the vintage stores are like all specialty, like gowns, vintage jewelry.
27:44It's like, what if I just want a great vintage button down, a great vintage pair of jeans? RLT is everything. They've got really good tees. Oh, the best. They've made their own tees. So she has her own line within the store now called RLT. Yeah. And she's made like the perfect black mini dress, black cardigan, black tank, black tea. And I wouldn't be surprised if she keeps going. I think there's a black pair of pants. That's really great. Co-sign that. Like I'm obsessed with everything there. Yeah. Love. Yeah. I think for me and like something I noticed with your wardrobe too, it's like I always want to be in something kind of simple but comfortable.
28:19like I'm in Reformation jeans and like a theory knit top but like it's everything that you put with it that shows your personal style about a great scrunchie I think you're really good at making a whole outfit though oh thanks like I actually go onto your Instagram if I want to feel elevated yeah what because I'm not good at I'm not good at putting an elevated look together I'm good at like the casual day to day. Okay. But I'm not the best at a formal event. Evening wear. Yeah. Evening wear is hard. You do it really well though. Thank you. I really appreciate that. That means a lot because I'm often on your page.
28:57So I'm glad that we swap places. And I feel like you're good at neutrals, browns. You know how everybody's doing like the color theories. I haven't done that yet, but I've really noticed that browns feel right on me. And like, I'm actually very into right now, I feel like we had that whole era of like dressing monochrome. I'm very into taking one tone and wearing a bunch of different shades from it. I feel like that looks really interesting, but your eye still reads it as one color, but it still adds like a little bit of something different. Like it's multi-layered, it's multifaceted. It's not just like that simple one tone.
29:32I don't know. I think everybody should find that color, whether it's beiges, maybe it's like grays and blacks, like finding that one color that feels like your comfort color that you can just kind of mess around in when you have an off day and don't know where to start yeah highly recommend highly recommend i need help next time i'll facetime you next time oh please i feel like you should try greens what's greens oh i thought that was a place no love greens love browns yeah like even now like your sweater i feel like if i saw you in like different tones of that i'd be especially because your eyes have a little bit in it like my eyes are just like straight chocolate brown and I feel like that's maybe what helps again the eyes the hair the scrunchie I know part of it yeah why do you think scrunchies are so big right now what do you think it is like all the hair accessories you wear a hairband every day oh god not on your wrist I hope not no but you have to yes it's nice to make something that you need every day look elevated and especially if you can use that and make your outfit that's super simple, elevated.
30:36I mean, even when you came in and this white scrunchie on your wrist looked so good. I know. It's now become like an accessory for me as well. It looked like it was just part of your outfit. And like even now with your French tip nails, like it matches and it's so great. Thanks. Yeah. And it's so funny because I mean, this might be mean, but I'm now, now that I've started a hair brand, I'm judging everything when I see someone else's products. Well, I'm also taking note. If there's a really good one, I'm taking note. But yeah, some bad ones out there. For sure. Some cheaply made ones, some ones that aren't good.
31:14But I feel like hair accessories are everything. They're everywhere. Yeah. Like we went from, I feel like it became a new canvas like two years ago that everyone was so excited to jump on. Zero to 100. Zero to 100, whether it was scrunchies, clips. Clips came back out of nowhere. That was so not something I expected. or even like I've seen a lot of like the ponytails like the like hair jewelry oh yeah I've seen that those are so I don't know what I was just doing with my hands I was trying to describe hair jewelry sorry guys but like I was even that I love and I think it's so fun I'm excited for you me too it's great it's been it's been fun anything we can look forward to next year new products we have already things coming oh that's exciting just yeah the perfect version of something that's coming out next year.
31:56I will leave. I will let you be discreet on that one. Thank you for not being discreet on everything else. Yeah. It's hard. She's stressing out over there. She's like, I just sold my soul to the Let's Get Dressed fans. At least to live. You're the sweetest. Thanks for coming on the show. This was so fun. Thanks for having me.
