Dark Energy Tuesday (Alix Earle & Braxton Berrios Breakup?, Demi From SLOMW, Wicked 2, “Stranger Things”)

23:51Marciano's dad is unfortunately dead. So that obviously was like too far. So Marciano's dad was apparently a boxer who died when he was only four years old. And he died after getting injured during a boxing match. So also like a very traumatic way to lose a parent. You know, not that there's any good way to lose a parent. but that's a very traumatic thing. Marciano obviously made a video and was like, you've gone too fucking far. And I actually feel bad for him. And all the comments were like, leave it to Demi to make us side with a man. Like, leave it to Demi. Like, poor Marciano. Honestly, like, I feel really bad for him.

24:26Like, that's just, what a disgusting comment to me. So now we are on DoFruityPebblesgate, which I am sure you have seen. When you shared this with the group chat, I was horrified. I lost it. It's continued and there's been many a comment made from Demi herself about this Fruity Pebbles thing. She's leaning into it. But yeah, please explain to listeners that aren't familiar. So in the first season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, there was some like alluding to a sexual act called Fruity Pebbles. And no one really knew what it meant, but people were speculating like, oh, like they like to put Fruity Pebbles in their vaginas and get eaten out by their husbands or something like that.

25:00That's when people were like assuming that it meant. That sounds so weird to do. Like what? Yeah, but I don't know. Who knows? I kind of forgot about it. Honestly, that was season one. So after Demi made a comment about Jessie probably being mad that LVP, Lisa Vanderpump, was talking about Demi and not Jessie, even though she was like trash talking to me and saying that Demi was lying about everything. Jessie took to her Instagram stories and said, since Demi wants to be petty, Grandpa Brett, that is Demi's husband, Grandpa Brett, who's quite older than her and actually met her when she was only nine years old for the first time.

25:34Grandpa Brett likes to drink her piss and he gulps it down like it's dirty soda. And that's what Fruity Pebbles is. Obviously, everyone was like, oh, my God. Yeah. Not trying to kink shame. Yeah, but at some point. But at some point, it just becomes unsanitary. Yeah, there comes a point where like, and for everyone who's going to say like, oh, my God, you guys are being so like genuinely, ask yourself, would you do such a thing? just ask yourself that question and stop judging us if you're going to give a shit for thinking this is absolutely insane just take a second so um demi then took to instagram and admitted it she said what my husband and i did and she didn't have to like no she could lie about this and that would have been perfectly acceptable to stay silent is is is so it's such a thing that we we take for granted.

26:25Silence and privacy is underrated. She said, what my husband and I did one time behind closed doors was a consensual and private experience in our marriage. I won't let a private act between my husband and I be a distraction from a serious act that I did not consent to. I shared this information with Jesse in confidence nearly two years ago. It's very telling that she's choosing to break storyline and bring it up now, only after her own affair has come to light. This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shift attention away from her own behavior. So she's saying she's, you know, presenting herself to be the victim of the situation.

26:56She goes, what we did behind closed doors. Yet she tried to make Jesse, quote unquote, sleeping with Marciano a storyline, like weaponize that against her, even if that allegedly was behind closed doors and two consenting adults, even though it apparently didn't even happen. Now she's trying to, like you said, act unbothered and make jokes about the whole thing, even though it's obviously extremely embarrassing. She's gained like 50 ,000 followers though since this happened so like maybe embracing it for attention is working and it was also announced at this time that secret lives mormon wives was renewed for season four so obviously people are speculating like oh was this all orchestrated for press and attention like maybe but i think these people are legitimately like this insane i oh sorry i am so disturbed by this.

27:45And I just came across a TikTok that she posted on Instagram of her saying, showing up to Thanksgiving after Fruity Pebbles gate, and she's like carrying a dish and all of her younger cousins or whatever are looking at her strangely. I could never show my face at a family function after making it everyone's business that my husband likes to drink my urine. No, definitely not. And she has like kids and stepkids. Yeah, some things just need to be left. Like if it was below the belt for Jesse to talk about this, because I think, yeah, it's something private. But you can also just stay silent on it.

28:18Like you don't need to. I've read things about us that are not true. And I'm not out here like defending it or trying to like clarify it because if it's not true, then I'm not going to let it bother me. Do you know what I mean? Like just because it's such a crazy theory. The fact that you're not owning up to it. Wait, about the drinking piss. I think the fact that it is true. Like, it is true. It's not untrue. Like, she, like, literally is admitting it. Right. And it's like, you didn't even need to validate it. Just let it be a rumor. I don't know why she felt the need to even speak up about it and validate that this is, in fact, something that they like to do behind closed doors.

28:48Why don't you do that? Like, why admit it? Like, no one would have blamed you if you just, like, didn't admit it. Yeah. It's so, oh, my goodness. It's so bizarre. And you know what? something about secret lives there are something incredibly dark about that entire series and i can't quite put my finger on what exactly it is it's very dark there's a lot there's a lot and it's something about the husbands the um submission that the the wives are forced to put on to go undergo the indoctrination something about it and like several of them were groomed by their husbands yeah correct and mikayla i think is the most notable one that people know because she's already She suffered, you know, immensely traumatic, you know, sexual abuse at a younger age.

29:30And then her husband was her abuser who got her pregnant when she was a minor. So I think that the entire show was so dark. And quite honestly, I didn't even really enjoy too much season one, season two. It was fine. Like, yes, if it's on, I'm not going to like look away. But something about it was so insidious that it was difficult for me to even have a desire to watch season three. It felt like a different kind of darkness that we're used to seeing on Housewives. And I think it has to do very much. Oh, it's way darker than Housewives. Yes, with the religion element and the Utah and not that everyone in Utah is a bad person.

30:00You guys know what I mean. Like the religion element of it is very dark. The Mormonism and the patriarchy of it all. Like there's a very, I know it's like not even funny. I'm sorry. It's just like. To be clear, I grew up with some Mormons. I'm not saying every Mormon is like this. Like genuinely, a lot of Mormons I know are very smart, very ambitious, very nice people that don't feel this dark to me. I don't know. From people that I know in my own life, it's just for some reason this cohort of people, it breeds some different energy. It's very insidious. I think all of their marriages are very troubled and troubling to watch.

30:39But again, it's like I find it entertaining because it's, you know, it's just these freak shows on TV, honestly. But yeah, extremely unhinged. I think that to me, I'm very curious what her future on the show is going to be because this is like just on another level. Not only like Piscate, but also like the comments that she made about Marciano's deceased father. It's just like, how low is she going to go? Like, are we going to like wait around to find out? Like, it's too dark. It's too dark to watch her in particular. I know that like for you, the entire show is too dark to watch. But to me in particular, for me, it's like I can't.

31:17I can't watch her. dark cloud over the cast. And I've noticed this even in season two when she was, she was pushing boundaries so much. And it was, I don't know, I don't know what her desire is. Like, do you want to be played out like the villain because you think that'll give you a bigger paycheck? Maybe it's very, like, a capitalistic mindset from her POV. She's like, I don't care how I'm perceived or what I need to do to be on top or to be the most talked about in the season, but I'm going to do it to get my check. Like, maybe she's doing this monetarily or she's a narcissist and she wants all the attention.

31:44I mean, Piscate has gotten her 50 ,000 followers, which is more than she got all of season three. She gained the least amount of followers season three. I think she only gained like around a thousand total during the entire season airing. I saw that. But 50 ,000 since this Fruity Pebbles thing has come out. So more followers and more cash. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So it's it's working for her to an extent. And yeah, I guess we'll see what happens with season four. Yeah. Which I don't think they set an exact date of when it's going to air, I need a break from them. I feel like season two and season three aired so close together.

32:19Like, I need a break. I think they only have like a six-month break, which in today's day and age.

I unfortunately have had very bad shaving experiences, from red bumps and ingrown hairs to cuts and razor burn.

35:03But just because I'm a hairy Jewish girl does not mean I have to settle for a horrible shaving experience. And as soon as I discovered Flamingo, I realized I don't have to suffer any longer. Seriously, I've been a fan of Flamingo since before they became a podcast sponsor. With Flamingo, my leg shaving experience is smooth, gentle, and luxurious. Not bumpy, rough, and painful.

38:02Speaking of television really fast, I want to talk about Stranger Things, the new season. Please. I know you don't watch Stranger Things. For those of us who do, it's been three and a half years and the acting is not great. And I think this frequently happens with child actors who grew up. And one of the examples that just always jumps in my mind when I think about child actors who grew up and you're like, you actually can't act. Is Emma Watson Hermione from Harry Potter? Yes. She was great as Hermione. And then she grew up and I was like, you actually can't act. And I think this has unfortunately happened with some of the Stranger Things kids.

38:37I will say that the, I can't remember all of the actors' names right now, but the ones that play Lucas, I think his name is Caleb McLaughlin, I want to say. Gatton Matarazzo, who plays Dustin. and Sadie Sink, who plays Max, I think are all fantastic. And I think all three of them have done Broadway, I want to say. The rest leave a bit to be, and then Natalie Dyer, I think is great. Steve Harrington, who is played by Joe Keery, is great. Like the older actors are great. But like the Millie Bobby Brown and like Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp even. Yeah, that's who I know. Noah Schnapp and Millie Bobby Brown are the people I know because of the Doja Cat thing for Noah Schnapp.

39:24Yes, yes. TBT to that. They're just like not great. And it takes me out of it the fact that, first of all, a lot of the writing is like not amazing. And I'm not talking about the dialogue. I'm talking about like there's one scene, spoiler alert, where Dustin gets beat up by a bunch of bullies. And he's getting kicked and kicked and kicked and beaten and punched and just, you know, they're beating him. And then he like wakes up a few hours later and all he has is a broken nose. It's like they were like literally kicking him. Like assaulting you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, what? Like there are just like so many like little plot holes like that where I'm like, what?

39:59So interesting writing choices. It's kind of crazy that each episode costs$50 million to make and like this is the result. What? So it is. Yep. And it's just like taking me out that Millie Bobby Brown's lip fillers are distracting me because she's supposed to be a 16-year-old in the 80s. She's not supposed to get lip fillers, you know? And that, so I noticed that while watching Stranger Things, it was so distracting. It was like taking me out of it. I was like, her lips are just way too big. It wasn't like a subtle lip filler. Like they look, I saw people online saying, you know, they look like Kardashian lips.

40:32Like they are extremely overfilled. And I noticed the same thing when I was watching Wicked 2. Sophie. With Ariana. Ariana's lips were way too overfilled. Sophie, when I saw this on our document, I was shaking my head in agreement. I was like thinking the entire time watching Wicked 2, which I just watched last night, the same exact thing. Ariana's lips, I don't remember it being that pronounced. And I know that they, in Wicked, the first one, and I know that they shot everything like in the same go around. They didn't take like a break and then refilm. Like they did all of it in one go. I don't remember her lips being so distracting.

41:09But it was maybe because there were more close-up shots of her. I don't remember them either. I honestly don't remember them either. Like genuinely. It was really severe. I think that when you are playing Glinda the Good Witch in The Land of Oz, it is a little bizarre to see Glinda with her like lip-filled lips. It's distracting. Because it's like you're in Oz. You're not supposed to be getting lip fillers. You're not in Beverly Hills. Yeah. It was so distracting to me. And like that I think is something. And like you said, like, I don't remember in the first one. I know they filmed them back to back, but I just don't remember in the first one this happening.

41:44Right. And I don't know. It's like there's something there's like I feel like misogynistic saying it, but I really feel like there's like an epidemic. No. And we've said this time and time again that, like, you know, some people just have iPhone faces. They're not going to work in like certain films. Like that's why. Yeah. Kim Kardashian is always going to play like a wealthy lawyer because she has, you know, all that work done. It's very obvious. And it just it really takes me out of it when these actors are getting work done and they should not be getting work done. And I think there should have been like some sort something in their contracts, honestly, especially Millie Bobby Brown.

42:20Like, I know that they're going to grow up either way. And all the actors look way too old for how old they're supposed to be in the show. Like, it's it's bad. But like Millie Bobby Brown in particular, I think it's also like her acting is bad. But then also the fact that she got lip fillers. It's just like, oh, my God, it's ridiculous. It's too much at once. I can handle maybe one of your bad acting, but that couple with the lip fillers, I'm no longer watching Stranger Things. And speaking of Wicked, I am absolutely howling. So on the notes, I sent, you know, Sophie and I, we collaborate on this document together and talk about what we're going to speak about.

42:51And on Wicked 2, I wrote, I get the first Wicked has iconic songs, but holy cow, I love Wicked 2. I can't believe you loved Wicked 2. Sophie texted me immediately. She goes, oh my God, you're wicked too, comment? Question mark, question mark, question mark. Me and Mandy are howling. She's like, we were laughing so hard. You have the worst. Yep. So I was with my sister and Amanda was like, Christy literally has the opposite opinion of the general population. First of all, I loved Wicked. I was like one of the biggest fans of the first Wicked. As you guys know, I've talked about it before. I love Wicked.

43:24I like was sobbing in the movie theater when I saw it. I've watched it plenty of times since then. Wicked 2 was very disappointing to me. Like, I think it was, like, a little overstuffed with things that, like, didn't need to be. Like, the Girl in the Bubble song. Like, there were, like, a lot of different scenes where I'm like, this doesn't need to be included. Like, let's just, like, wrap it up. It was long. It just, it wasn't as good. And, like, obviously the music. I feel like the first half of Wicked, which I've also seen on Broadway, is always better than the second half. It ends with Defying Gravity.

43:52Like, it's just, like, it's always going to be better. But, like, I was just so disappointed by part two, unfortunately. Of course, my ass was like locked in. After I left the theater, I was talking to my cousins and I was like, great part two. What do you guys think? And they were like, I mean, it was okay. And then I was talking to Shannon from Fully Forward and I was like, loved Wicked 2. She's like, oh, I liked it too. But the first one was definitely better. Dot, dot, dot. What up with me and my bad taste? I know. I know, Christy. I know. It's really. You just have the opposite opinion of gen pop.

44:28Like, you're the only person on the planet that's, like, part two Wicked better than part one. She literally, you guys, she wrote that in our document. She was like, I know everyone loves part one, but, like, part two was amazing. I was like, I actually, like, walked away from part one and I was like, I think everyone is going to win Oscars for this. Part two, I'm like, that'd be really weird if, like, any of these people won Oscars, honestly. I think Ariana Grande did a little bit of a better job in Wicked 2 than Cynthia Erivo. I feel like her performance really shined. Cynthia Erivo was still fabulous, but do you agree?

44:56I think they were both amazing. I think it was just that Ariana was more of the lead in Wicked 2, whereas the first one she was more supporting. Wicked 2, she was more of the lead and Cynthia felt more supporting. Cynthia didn't have as many like scene stealing scenes. Right. And in my opinion. But I mean, they were both great. They're both extremely talented. I just the wicked be talented. Do you know what that's in reference to? Adele Dazeem when John Travolta introduced Idina Menzel at the Oscars and called her the wickedly talented Adele Dazeem. Oh, no, I don't know. Iconic moment. Sophie was like deadpan, just like you snapped into character real quick.

45:38The wickedly talented Adele Dazeem. Okay, let's move on to our dark energy objects of the weed. Okay, my five to everything. Again, Thanksgiving conversation I was having with my cousin. My cousin looked at me before the movie started. He goes, have you noticed things are just low quality these days? Like nothing is good quality. I was like, you know, you're so right. Everything is made to just like you need to retire it within three years. I think of the iPhone. We use it every moment, every waking moment of our damn life. And you have to replace it like every three years. Three years. And that's like most appliances.

46:11And I know this specifically because when I bought my house, there was the sellers kept the washing machine, the dishwasher, like all the appliances. I have now replaced my washing machine. This is the third washing machine that I've had. And I lived in this house for four years, okay? Third washing machine. And then my dishwasher. This is now the third dishwasher. So I've had to purchase a dishwasher. And this is the second one I've had to purchase because the seller's one was already there. And if you actually want a good quality one, you need to pay at least$1 ,000 for all of these things. Otherwise, you will replace this one in three years.

46:42Because I chanced on my stupid Whirlpool dishwasher. And I'll have to replace it after three years of buying. And then you have to get the most expensive one to know that this won't happen again. Like, I feel like everything is bad quality. And I was talking about it with my aunts and uncles. And my aunt was like, I've had this refrigerator in my garage, no jokes, since the 70s. And it still works pristinely. There's no issues with it. Something is in the water and they do this on purpose. They meaning big corporate. I hate to be that person, but it's like late stage capitalism. It is. It literally is.

47:10Like, everything is cheaper now because the margins need to be bigger. Yes. And it's also the same thing. It's like why people would rather live. I mean, you know, to an extent in older houses because older houses were built really well. And now new houses are built from like paper mache. Wait, Sophie, I'm so impressed that you know this. Like that's actually a thing that a lot of people don't realize is if you buy a house made in the 70s or the 80s, I am willing to guarantee it is far better made with the best materials than a new build. It's true. Unfortunately, I feel like it's just like a widely known thing.

47:43Some people don't realize that. But houses now are so, like, I just think about, like, those new builds that you'll see on, like, Zillow when I'm just, like, poking around in Zillow for fun. Yeah. And it's, like, literally, like, the cheap-looking modern farmhouse with, like, beige everything. And it just looks cheap. And, like, instead of wood floors, they're, like, vinyl floors. Like, it's just all, like, so cheap-looking. It just looks cheap. It looks like it'll, like, blow over in the wind. And my best friend, when she bought her house in Houston, new build, she's like, everything is breaking, Christy.

48:16Yeah. And this was, they were the first people to live in it. I'm just like so sick of it. And you're so right, late stage capitalism. So if you don't want something to break, you better be willing to pay 3x what you paid on the original one. So save up. I'm like so frustrated with it. Second thing, having to do with another appliance of like washing your clothes. I hate having to read the damn tags on the clothes. Do I need to dry clean this? Do I need to wash this cold? Do I need to hand wash it? Wait, so, okay, when you said this, having to read symbols on clothing, I don't know what you're talking about.

48:45Symbols, the tags will always say hand wash cold. Like, they have to legally tell you the instructions. Sorry, that's what I mean. When I mean symbols, I just meant, like, the actual words that say, like, hand wash cold. I hate having to read. I hate having to read. It's like, I want everything to be machine washable. Maybe that's my dark energy. Like, I don't want to wash it. When it says hand wash, you better believe I'm putting it in delicates. Well, yes, yes. I never hand wash anything. I'm sorry. Okay, thank you. Thank you. I machine wash everything except stuff that, like, needs to be dry cleaned or it'll be destroyed.

49:15Same. But, yeah, I mean, I always have to read the tags, obviously, because some things don't go in the dryer. And that's fine. Like, if I have to, like, lay something flat to dry. I mean, we were just talking about how I ruined one of my favorite cashmere sweaters by drying it on accident. Happened to the best of us. But, yeah, I mean, like, I appreciate those tags. So, you know what? I disagree with you. I need the tags. I think the dip dark energy is more I wish everything could just be uniform. I want to just wash everything in the wash and I don't want to have to like differentiate. Oh, I need to lay it flat.

49:44Like it's just it's too much. Yeah. But I mean, it's it's all to help you preserve your clothes. Yeah. So it's a good thing in the end. Yeah, sustainable. Mine is forgetting to put on mascara. Like, you know, when you like leave the house and you're like, I didn't I missed a step. That happened when we recorded the other day. I recorded we recorded with our high def cameras. and I looked in the mirror. I was like, why do I look so tired and ugly? Like something is wrong with me. Something's wrong with my face. I realized that I forgot to put on mascara and I was so mad at myself because we recorded this episode.

50:15We used our high def cameras. I was, is there any worse feeling when you go all day and you were like out doing stuff and you realized you forgot to put on like the most important like makeup product to you? Like I have no eyelashes naturally, so I need mascara. You need it. Okay, so this is my dark energy object. Being Asian, our lashes literally go straight down. There's no much. So it's really hard for me to even put on mascara unless I get a lift. Oh my god. Because otherwise, even if I put mascara on on unlifted lashes, I'll get the raccoon eyes. No, I didn't know that. Yeah, Asians have like very straight lashes.

50:48So it's super annoying for me because even if I wanted to wear mascara, unless I have, you know, I got the lift, which I had to pay like freaking 80 bucks for, just get my lashes up a little bit. It's a whole thing. Yeah. There's even surgeries for certain people where their lashes are so straight it interferes with her eye with her eyeball. Mine isn't that severe. Yeah. But just be before be thankful you don't have the Asian like I had no idea. Yeah. So I don't have that, which yes, I'm thankful for. Yeah. I do have the most like non-existent natural eyelashes ever. And I know people are like, get extensions, get like a lash lift, blah, blah, blah.

51:23I'm like, I don't know. Like, no, it's fine. I just use mascara and that works for me. But then when I forgot to do it, that's when I'm like, damn it, I should have gotten those extensions. I know what you mean. When I walk out of the house with certain makeup products, I'm like, God, I look so look. No, but like also when I forget to wear perfume before I leave the house, like there's just like little things where I'm like, I need this to like feel like a human. And then when you like forget to do it, you get so mad at yourself. Yeah. So my light energy object of the week is sloppy joes. I post this on Instagram, but Henry uses this one recipe, which I can share again on Instagram if anyone's interested.

51:58And they're so fucking good. He does them in the slow cooker. And so it's like a whole day activity. We did it last weekend. We just have like a cozy Saturday where we just had them had it cooking on the slow cooker. And it smells so good as it's like. It smells so good. So good. And it always reminds me of Mary-Kate and Ashley in It Takes Two eating the slothpiped jokes. I was just literally about to say the same thing, Sophie. You and I have lived the same exact childhood because that's how I knew about Sloppy Joe's. Food fight! Remember? Yep. They're so underrated. So underrated. And I promise you guys, if you're like, who eats Sloppy Joe's?

52:34Try this recipe. It is so fucking good. It's such a crowd pleaser also. Henry makes it for everyone and everyone loves them. I also took a picture of it and we were using a crock pot liner, which is a very common thing. It makes cleanup really easy. It's not plastic. It's like nylon, I think. so it's safe to use in a crockpot. So many DMs from people saying, why do you have plastic in your crockpot? I'm like, it's a crockpot liner. Like, I'm using what the specifications have provided. And then someone was like, okay, but it's plastic. That's so dangerous. I'm like, do you think that this is my first day on planet Earth?

53:09Do you think that we're melting plastic in our sloppy joe mixture? Do you think this is my planet Earth? Okay, so I'd go back to It Takes Two. Me and my sister, we have, you know how when you grow up with a sister, you have like weird things that you'll do from like childhood like certain movement so we have this thing from it takes you from the sloppy joe scene where one of the kids is eating he's the one with the glasses and he's eating the sloppy joe and he's going so every time me and my sister like he's like fist pumping as he's eating for those of you that aren't on youtube so every time my sister and i are eating something good we go so like this movie has imprinted deeply in my brain Oh, absolutely.

53:44Absolutely. Love that about you guys. Okay, I think that's it. Yeah, I don't really have anything light. You know, it's been a there's been a lot going on. So it's been a dark Thanksgiving for Christy. Yeah. But I hope everyone had an amazing holiday. And yeah, thank you guys for being here. We love you so much.

54:52If there's one refresh worth making this summer, it's your bedding. Trust me. Summer nights always leave me wanting bedding that feels lighter, more breathable, etc., etc. And Quince has been my go-to for so long now. They focus on high-quality materials like European linen and bamboo without the luxury markup. My absolute favorite is their 100 % organic cotton percale sheets duvet cover. The material is so crisp and comfy and even has a cooling effect, which is obviously perfect for those hot summer nights. I also love the look of it. It's matte, smooth, and just has this classic look that instantly elevates our bedroom.

55:26And I love knowing that we're sleeping on 100 % cotton and not some cheap polyester blend. You can literally feel the difference. I also love their Mulberry Silk pillowcases and eye masks. They help keep your hair smooth and skin hydrated overnight because they don't absorb your natural oils like other materials do. This bedding is made for literal beauty sleep, you guys. Quince has everything you need to upgrade your bedding for summer. Lightweight sheets, airy linen shams, seasonal colors, and timeless patterns like stripes and soft neutrals. And in case you need a reminder, everything at Quince is 50 to 80 % less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middleman.

57:47And when was the last time you upgraded your outdoor furniture situation? Wayfair is your one-stop shop for outdoor seating, grills, appliances, patio lighting, storage, rugs, decor, you name it. Everything you need to make your outdoor area the best seat in the house. We only have an itty-bitty balcony in New York City, but thanks to Wayfair, we made the most of our tiny space with a perfect little bistro set and twinkle lights. I'm so excited it's finally warm enough to use it again. My favorite thing to do during the warm weather months is have coffee and breakfast out there with Baxter on sunny mornings.

58:16It's my favorite start to the day, and it wouldn't be possible without my Wayfair furniture. I also really appreciate that Wayfair has installation and assembly services because outdoor furniture can be heavy and intimidating to assemble. It makes the experience truly seamless and stress-free. But my favorite part about Wayfair, you don't have to take out a freaking loan or remortgage your house just to make your space as gorgeous as possible. Especially if you, like me, are not in your forever home yet and you don't want to slurge on major investment pieces. I love how affordable everything at Wayfair is.
