I know I've shoot We'll see what happens then. Yeah, oh my god I actually had not thought about the possibility of you not coming back. I know we'll see We don't know. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Just give her one winter. Yeah Oh my god. I was moving there. It's gonna be in the middle winter. They're gonna be there Literally, we're going to have like a jacket. Well, the moment you adjust, it'll be summer and actually summer is in New York also not the most. No, no, when she's there, it's gonna be winter still. It's March. March is cold. Oh, yeah. Okay, but then it'll go into spring. I'm screwed for summer and winter, to be honest. This is why I've never, okay, for those of you listening, I actually never dreamed about moving to New York like a lot of my friends did. I was like, oh, LA's a place to be because I love the weather. I am so, like, I love 72 degree weather all year round. You hate hot humid weather. Summer, I have a neck fan that I'm hoping it works. Thanks, Mimi. Winter, dude, I literally was telling my friends, I don't know how to dress for winter. I don't know how to layer. Oh, I feel like the new thing is those like, tights that look like skin, but it's actually like a thick furry piece, like those tights. And then you can still like wear skirts and be cute with it. Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna, I'll send you some tights. Okay, yeah. These go for the numbers. Layers. You all know my morning routine by now, but did you know I also have an evening ritual that helps me with my wind down? I'm a firm believer on giving your mind and body the right care before you call it a night. One way I get my body love is by making sure I'm providing enough moisture. How am I doing this? I'm using Osea as mega moisture duo. These CB powered heroes for by results you can see in confidence you can fill with skin care level ingredients normally reserved for face products. Lately, my skin has been extra dry. When I say dry, I mean, parched. They're legit dry patches all over my body. And don't make me start on my legs. What saved me this winter was Osea's mega moisture duo, which is their Anderia algae body oil and Anderia collagen body lotion. This combo is it. I've been a huge fan of Osea's body oil for a while, but combining with the body lotion it saved my dry skin. The scent is also incredible and I walk out of my bathroom smelling like a spa. Osea's face and body products are clean, vegan, cruelty-free and climate neutral certified. So you never have to choose between your values and your best skin. This is just a reminder that taking care of your body is a moment to practice mindfulness, self-love, and compassion. We are glowing up this year, ladies.

As you're talking about living in different seasons, going to change up your social circle, it makes me think of Mel in 2017, 2018 when we first started and yeah, you would have never, like that kind of a thing would just felt so opposite. And so I just, we've probably said it before, but I want you to know that I'm really proud of you. I know we're both really proud of you for if you feel complacent and you feel like you need to make a change, it takes a lot to know you're gonna walk into discomfort and you're gonna do things to rock the boat and it's gonna be scary, but you're gonna move forward and try it anyway. Yeah, like that is, yeah. And we will be here for the phone calls that will be. I'm gonna be crying the meeting because you guys, I'm so cold. Oh no, you're gonna love it. Turn the heat, yeah. No, I think honestly it's like listening, because I think back to like when I made my move to New York and I did that so sloppily. Like just in hindsight, right? When I was going through it because I was doing the whole like, oh, I wanna live in New York City, no concept. I didn't know anyone who like had like a couple friends removed to be there, but you were doing this in, I think with a lot of knowledge and with enough planning and with enough community that you're set up well for it to go smoothly. I hope so. Yeah, and it's gonna be rough. You're gonna have like, you know, challenging points, but I'm really excited for you. Thanks. Obviously what prompted this move was, you know, Ray needing to move for his promotion, which again, go Ray. But you have a lot of personal goals for moving to New York as well. And you mentioned with ABG, like this is something that will, if anything like better content and everything that we're putting out there in terms of like vulnerability and experiences and trying new things. What do you hope to bring for ABG? Oh, this is a fun, but also tough question, because I want to be able to follow through with my actions. The first thing, I feel like entering New York, I might be in a different headspace. Like I've been very like cozy girl in my house, but being a new city, like I think I might spark this like, all right, extroverted males back. And I'm actually really excited to meet our listeners in New York. Y'all, cause if you think about our first meetup, was in New York. It was. You know, I think about the, like that group of girls. That was so fun. Right. That was so fun, yeah. And fun fact, cause I run social. New York is our highest listenership or followership in the US. It doubles LA. Wow. So I'm just like, there are a lot of you out there in New York and I'm excited to run into you on the streets. Maybe I'll plan like a, like a picnic or a plan like a drink's night. I just want to. We should totally do like a, Mel's in New York. Like come hang out with me. I really want. Like I need friends. That's what should be called. Kind of. I need friends. In New York. Oh, you could do like coffee meetups. Yeah. Yeah. Like working sessions when you need like, when you don't want to just be in the part of it by yourself. That's true. Actually, I think that's a good. The thing with working sessions, I'm that person that literally, if you're someone that, that no, it's that and bye will talk to you in front of me. So I won't work. Wait, what? Like it would work. With people. Oh, I would want to talk to you. That's easy. That's either work or it's social. Yeah. Yeah. This is like a meme on Instagram that there's a guy with the poster on his back and he's like, please don't talk to me.
