Welcome to fit to be real and a little extra. Happy summer. Woohoo. It's here
See I feel like it's summer because moral day just happened, but the kids are still in school
Yes, and I have a very big deep question that I need to get off my chest in regards to summer
Are you? No, okay
Do you maybe okay
How do you feel about
Wearing white before Memorial Day? I'm you're the only one in the room, so I have to talk to you
But how do you feel about that not wearing white after Labor Day and not wearing it before Memorial Day?
Is that a rule that you live by I don't wear white, but if I did I would wear it on Christmas Day
Okay, yeah, here's yeah, you don't care who cares. Why can't you wear? Why is that a rule? I know that rule
I remember that rule. Yeah, I love a good Christmas white. I
Think it's a silly rule. Yeah, it's silly
I knew I wanted to get really you know into the deep stuff first so we could have some fun
But like I don't think you care about it either. Oh, I don't I wear white pants
I wore white pants like in February out with Andrew one night. I don't care I
Would like to fit whoever made that rule, please stand up
We would like to talk to you and figure out why it's probably somebody in the fashion industry
Definitely was somebody in the fashion industry
I just wanted to see your stance on it and I knew your stance on it
But I wanted to see how everybody else felt about it. I do not take that fashion trend
Serious at all. What fashion trend do you take seriously none?
none ya
None your business. No, um nothing, but I'm just saying like I don't listen to that rule
I think it's stupid rule. Yeah, she wanted all of you to know that she doesn't do it
Neither do I and we hope that you're on board as well
That was a must-have
Topic that I needed to know we must have it not happen
What are we talking about today? We are talking about a must-have of sorts
Three must-haves for the summer of 2024
2020 foe and three per person so for you all it's six that is the math we're doing today
It's less than 10 so I can do it without my fingers
Well, it's two hands
So it's too much for me
Already lost me the formula has now turned into a word problem that is confusing to me
I'll get melody to home. I'm tapping out
Uh, it is summer. It's hard to believe that it's summer
I'm not too sure where April and May went raise your hand if you feel like this was the quickest year of your life
Since January or since September. No since September. I feel I'm gonna answer this for you
Or I'm gonna answer it first. I feel like last year like 2023 was a snails pace
We couldn't get out of 2023. Yeah, and I feel like 2020
20 well, yeah since September not technically 20 was six months into 2024, right? I feel like it's crazy fast
I've Christmas was just a couple weeks ago. Yeah
It wasn't I know but it feels that way, but yeah, it's it's a weird time is a weird thing
Because I feel I like I agree with you
In terms of January to now I agree 2023 was horrible
But the weeks felt really long and the days felt really long really but the time like as a whole like
I'm not sure what happened to April, but April was my busiest month and I was
That's probably why because I was so busy
Downtime didn't exist. It was like 40 hour days the blur a
Blur yeah, but then all of a sudden it was over and I was like, where did it go?
What happened to April but each day I was like, oh my gosh, this day's not ending right and that's how I feel like six months
Have has gone by what's that phrase?
The days are long, but the years are fast
Think I made that up. It's something phrase
Something to that effect if you've coined that phrase, please stand up
Fit to be real the days are long, but the years are fast
Yeah, I don't know. I felt like this. I can't believe we're talking about summer and I must haves
I know Christmas. I didn't think we'd get here from Christmas this quickly, right?
Like thinking about Christmas, huh?
And like getting a present or two that was like, oh you can use this in the summer
It was like a summer is never coming summer is so far away
How could you even think about summer right and so now that yeah, it's it's June when this episode airs
Oh my gosh, stop it's that's wild and you know what makes me cringe and all of you cringe out there, too
Does it give you the ick? Yeah, I hate that phrase same Z's. I oh stop
Big yikes. No. Oh
Who have you been hanging out with the internet?
Now I forget what I was talking about probably when school supplies come out. Yeah. Oh my gosh
How did you know I think I just know you at this point. Oh my gosh because I the kids get out June 17th and
less than a month later
all of the
Summer decorations go away and the school supplies come back out and it makes me angry. It didn't used to be that dramatic like
Angry, I don't remember it being that soon
I love getting new notebooks and new pens and Sharpies like I love that in August at the end of all
But it always felt it was like it was right before school and now it's yeah
I'm like they haven't even been out of school for a month. I think it's before 4th of July. They usually yeah
Anyway, that was that's my take on that. It's just everything's going by so quickly
That's a must-have not as well must have not that's a different episode. Oh, but let's get into the must-haves
Let's do it
I'm Victoria. Hey guys, I'm Carly. So I personally think my three summer must-haves are super helpful and beneficial
I have absolutely no idea what Carly has picked out. So we will be a nice little surprise. I
I'm going to put money
That we do not have the same things. Oh, I would put money on that too. I don't know what she's about to say
But if you've seen our Instagram reels recently, you know, we do have a lot of money
So let's see about that. Your dance choices. So if you don't follow us on Instagram number one do it second of all
We followed one of the trends of dancing with our eyes closed to the same songs that like rapidly fire
In seeing if we do any of the same things
And you dance
I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do that
And you dance like a like a 13 year old
But like in the 80s
With no care in the world and just like
Big and wild wild like really trying to be cool. Patty. Yes. Patty Simcox. Patty Simcox
And I am a 90 year old man. Yep. Oh my god
I dance just like a 90 year old you dance with your head
A lot if you look at our real she dances with her head a lot
She just like it's night at the Roxbury. It's called lazy if you know that that head nod from night at the Roxbury
Then you can hang out with us, but also go look it up and that's Victoria
Yeah, the least amount with the most effect
No, mine's just wild and crazy and look at me. You're the most amount for the most effect
All right, let's get
To the nitty gritty
I'm gonna go first
Because I should decided to so my number one summer must have
Is a city bonfire? It's portable. It's a portable fire pit mom gave us these
I forget how many years ago right in coven, right?
She discovered these in coven. I know exactly what it's a tabletop fire pit. Yes
I think initially intended for like s'mores
Because these two I'm not gonna get into the whole background but these two dads in new york city during coven
We're like, oh my gosh, we have to get out, but we can't get out
We just want to go, you know do a fire pit in the backyard, but we're in the city. So they made this
Little portable fire pit. Yep for 1995. You can have s'mores on your back porch or your front porch or your backyard
It says it's for outdoor only it's not well. It's because it's an 18 inch flame
so they're
Trying to be safe and safe insurance reasons so they have to be outside exactly. We've done it inside
We've done it inside because we're rule breakers
Yeah
Right on the countertop and if you want that fire pit with all of these amazing
Good things about it that you probably you probably didn't know no I didn't because carly doesn't read the box. No, I don't
It's eco friendly which I love it's 100% non toxic food grade soy wax
So what that means is when you're putting the marshmallow on the wood stick over top of the flame
You're not getting chemicals that you shouldn't be eating. Got it. It's coming from a soy wax which
Technically I've been seeing a lot all of our candles should be soy
I have you been seeing that? Yes, I've been seeing a lot about how we should not be burning the candles that we're burning in our house
Ever. Yeah, like it's just putting poisonous gas into our house the ones that aren't soy
The ones that are soy I have to look at my candles. I mean, I don't think one of them are soy the one that's there is soy
They're usually more expensive. Yeah, because it's natural and that's just the way the world works, unfortunately
But the soy wax is not burning those cancerous chemicals into the air
And they still have the flavorful smells, but it's a little bit different
I don't know if you're gonna be able to get that cucumber melon margarita. Yeah in a soy. Maybe I'm wrong. I'll just drink it
I hope I'm wrong. That's good. I'm proud of you
Um, but the soy wax makes it food grade. So I have done with your children a smore over a regular candle
Just want to put that out there
That explains so much it sure does back at my condo when I was desperate
Now this little fire pit existed and I I would easily do it now. It's also 100 percent biodegradable
Compostable and recyclable steel tin. It's in this tin. That's like amazing how they did this was
chef's kiss
Never do that again. I didn't look at you after I did it because I knew you'd be mad. Oh my god my stomach Lee
It's easy to light. It's easy to extinguish
Extinguish it's also three to five hours to burn like it will burn for three to five hours at a time
I don't think we did it for that long when we when we used it. I didn't know it lasted that long
I mean, I don't think I've ever done s'mores for that long. Yeah, but if you don't do s'mores, which
Why not?
Uh, you could just use it as like I would like to sit in my enclosed back porch with a bonfire
Right and not like put food over. I mean, it's small
It's the size of a tabletop candle. Yeah, yeah, but it goes up to 450 degrees
Yeah, that's why it burns for three to five hours and that's why it's an 18 inch fling, which is really big
Yeah, so that's probably you know the liability of why they say don't do it inside
But like you can it's fine. Just keep your hair sprayed gelled hair away from the flame
And remember to burn it out, which is really easy to burn it out
There's instructions of how to just like basically put the lid on top of it and it's all good to go
But yeah, it'll last on your shelf for 30 years if you don't put it in like a really hot place in your house
for the it will just melt away and
It's 1995. Well, we are very different. I'm just gonna put that out there. That's that too summer must have number two
It is something that I do not have and I'm going to get it because I'm so excited that this exists
It's a deluxe three in one lightweight beach chair
Now that's lightweight like that's sad
We're gonna post all these links because you can look at them because it's a little hard to describe
Just think of the regular tommy bahama. Yeah, beach chair. Got it. Okay, but it has a bottom to it
Like it has a flip up bottom so that your legs aren't in the sand you put your legs up on like a footstool
So it's like a long lounge chair an extender an extender like it's got an extension at the bottom
So you can just use it like a regular you don't have to unfold it. Tommy Bahama like back and seat
You can extend the legs and it's also got a hole where the back of your head is
So when you flip over your face
You can read a book by putting your arms out like, you know under the chair
And reading a book that way and your face is down or you can sleep that way without turning your head to the side
And I I'm gonna get it. It's called the ostrich deluxe three in one lightweight beach chair
And it's got like a little pillow over the hole
Where your feet where the back of your head is so if you don't want to have the hole
It's got like a little pillow. How much is away? What makes it lightweight?
It's the same as any other regular chair. They just call it lightweight because with the extender and all the other things
It's not as it's not like this big lounge chair that you're trying to lug to the beach
Yeah, it is $129. I think they all are expensive though, right?
I don't think that's bad for a beach chair from what you're gonna get
It lays all the way back down. It's got the drink holders. Yeah in it
Um, and I think this is gonna be my jam for the summer
It doesn't have like a cover an umbrella like or a head thing
Yeah, but um, that's okay because you can just put your umbrella up
But I am totally into this very different than what victoria said is I am all about the
How can I be as comfortable as possible on the sand in the beach?
You can bring my little fire pit to the sand. It's only a pound
Mine is a little more than a pound, but
Again, we will link all of these and you can check them out and I will see you all
Down the shore with your legs up
Face in the sand reading a book. You are not first of all impossible. You're not reading a book legs up face in the sand
Well with this extender or anything's possible
Yeah, we know I'm not reading a book
Do you like backyard barbecues? Love them. Do you like front porch hangouts? Yes
Do you like campfires and camping? We've we've already seen that. Yes. We do. Okay. Yes. Yes. We do
Do you like beaches by the dunes or the bay?
Obviously anywhere where there's mosquitoes. You're doing a real good sell right now. Thank you. My voice is changing
Anywhere there
mosquitoes exists
If you're a hiker you need this a deer tag non
anti mosquito incense
So think of an incense stick like normal incense. You're gonna go to that hippie db shop and see okay
Now multiply that by a lot of feet
Not feet like a foot a ruler and a little bit taller. It's an incense you put in the ground kind of like those tiki torches
right and
It is 100 natural. It's deat
Free. Oh, yeah pet friendly. Do you know what deat is? Yeah, it's the yes. I didn't I had to look it up
It's an all of the mosquito
Yeah, the repellents right the repellents repellents. Yeah, not good. It's not good for you
It has neurological
Or it has shown to possibly have
Neurological effects to you your children your pets, but it's in all of our normal like bug spray
Well, do you know those uh wristbands or like actually necklaces that mom got the kids one year?
It was deat free because they can't wear it kids can't wear those mosquito repellent bracelets
With with deat in it. I had no idea. That's the only reason I know
No, that it was bad. Well now I know and I
I looked at the box because I own these and I was like deep free. Why is that the biggest boldest letters ever?
And so I looked it up. So yeah, it's deep free and pet friendly
Because when you stick them into the ground or a flower pot in the area that you're hanging out
There's lots of mosquitoes and you have pets. They're only pet high
Oh, yeah, like they're small. Yeah, so pet friendly is good
They last for about 40 to 45 minutes of burn time, but there's 50 in a box and it's only $10 for the box
Okay, so like you you put it in the fire or you just light it with a match and it burns down like incense and it disappears into your grass
Oh, it's like biodegradable. You don't have to like go back and clean them all up. No, no
But it repels the mosquitoes
Without any of the bad and it smells like it actually smells good. It doesn't smell like you know, you're walking into a yoga studio incense
There's no flavor. I like that smell though. I do too, but you know, if you're grilling in the backyard
Maybe you don't want that. So it just smells like smoke. So we get our
Reused to get our backyard sprayed
Uh three times the summer for mosquitoes, right? We have to close all our windows
If you have to close your windows because you don't you can't get it in the house
You shouldn't do it. Yeah, and you can't go and use the backyard for the rest of the day
Until it settles you can go out the next day. So they're all deep stuff, right? So we don't use that anymore
We don't do that because it also doesn't really work
We still I mean you've been in my backyard
Yeah, and I just like why are you hitting your legs? I just paid money. Why are you hitting your legs? I'm like because there's mosquitoes
I'm like, don't show them Victoria's legs like eating up. I'm like, just don't show them. It's so expensive
But we don't we're not doing it anymore because if you have to shut your windows
For something, you know that preventative you should you shouldn't probably be getting it
Yeah, we'll try these. I used them to sit outside while I let
Pepper sit on the leash and I was like, oh, it's so nice. I'll sit outside too
So I burned two of them and I just framed my back steps
And I was fine. Who gave you these? I saw them. Nobody gave them to me. I bought them with my own money
I saw them when I went to a yoga party. So Tyler. What's up? Thanks, man. Hi Tyler
They had these all around the backyard last summer. I was like, what are these?
And that's basically citronella. It's all
natural oils that are made that make the incense that burns off. It's all natural. It's only 10 bucks too. So
All right, my next one while you're sitting in that lightweight
Beach lounge chair and you start to get hungry
What do you grab in your beach bag twizzlers a snackle box?
Maybe it does have twizzlers in that snackle box. Did you just mix snap, crackle and pop and box together?
I wish I was
Clever enough to have named this product, but it's actually called a snackle box
Tell me about I need to hear about it. Well, what is what is a snackle box? It's a tackle box for food
Like a tackle box like you go fishing think of that
Think of toe like like a sort of like a bento
But you know the pills the the long pill box. Yeah, okay now make those pill boxes
Bigger like each individual pill box bigger. Uh-huh and now extend it about four or five rows
So it's basically a charcuterie board of little pockets of food
So all you do is lift up the one
Lid it's a clear lid you lift up the clear lid and you've got an array of nuts tomatoes
Twizzlers cheese but in small portions in small portions. I love this. Yeah, it's it's very inexpensive
You can get one with like eight compartments for like 20 21 dollars
But think about what you could put in those eight compartments
You can get 16 compartments and then they become a little bit smaller
For 36 35 dollars
Which I think I'm going to do because how much food do we waste?
Well one at the pool and two at the beach because I make my kids these big lunches
All they want to do is like pick a couple things and move along
Yeah, you don't want to sit down and have peanut butter and jelly like we used to yeah
But it's also good because you can just cover it from the seagulls you open it pick up a couple
I'm sure cover it, but it's called the snackle box and I'm obsessed
I would get the eight one
Yes, I would definitely get the eight one because I you know you put it in a cooler
You put some cucumbers and yeah
Good stuff in there too. Yeah, you could do a whole charcuterie board of
Whatever you want you can get two separate ones
Two eight count ones. Yeah one for snacks and sugar and for savory. Yeah, I love that
Yeah, and that's not just for the beach carly is a beach
A beach summer person obviously, but you know that's good for the park. It's good for a hike
It's good for that sounds good for just one for a pepping
You put a little dog food in there. Oh shut it. I was I was being actually serious. No, you were not pepper just looked
She's looking at her private parts
We just looked at a bad time sorry pepper we didn't mean to interrupt your privacy and again there she goes
Okay, you you go girl
We're going to the beach again
Okay, we're camping or hiking my goodness zinc oxide sunblock. Yes
I I back you on this. I didn't really know why and I didn't know that there's two types of sunblocks
Did you know that besides just like zinc and not zinc?
So
Yeah, no, I was just gonna say because my doctor told me that Dean can't use zinc
Uh, oh suntan lotion. Why does he a sensitive skin? Oh, oh, yes, that makes sense. That makes sense
Uh, okay, so there are two different types of sunscreen one is chemical and one is physical
What we grew up with
With a little banana boat or what's the what's the dog eating the is it tropicana? No, no banana boat
Is it banana boat the little baby bottom? Yeah
I don't know neither of us are right. No, no, it's something else. Anyway
That's a chemical sunscreen
So what makes it different is that a chemical sunscreen works as a sponge and it absorbs
The sun's rays. So when we put that sunscreen on our skin
It's not it's taking in the sun so that it doesn't actually hit us. It's like that in between middleman
Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense
The physical sunscreen which is zinc oxide
It is an actual
blockage of the skin and it's a mirror effect
So the sun hits the zinc coating
And it bounces right back to itself
Okay, let me say it again. Yes, okay. So the chemical one that we grew up on uh-huh
Soaks in the sun like a sponge like water. It's the where were you when I just had that just like that literally thinking of something
I didn't even change the wordage. I changed the emphasis
And I knew by your lack of reaction you weren't here
So I hope the second repetition was helpful for all of you as well
I think that happened to other people too while they were driving they zoned out and then they came back when they were like
Wait explain it again. Okay
So yes, the chemical is a sponge it takes it in and then it doesn't reach your skin because it's taking it in the sponge
They've made so much money on us over the years, but that's good. I mean, it's not a bad way. It's just it
It's more chemicals that way. Yeah, but
Okay, continue and so what's the other one do?
The physical sunscreen which is zinc so say you're putting on zinc and it's like
armor
Right. Yeah
The sun hits it and it bounces back to the sun right like it's it's literally like a shield
Right, so it doesn't soak into anything
So I don't know if you know the answer to this, but which one is better?
Well, I vote zinc okay because of its natural mineral properties and it's not harsh chemicals like the chemical
one
Chemical sunscreen is made up a lot of chemicals to make that happen. You have to rub it into the skin
The benefit is that it doesn't have that like
white
Sheen that white face that you get when you have to really rub rub rub rub no
My kids got it in all different colors and they decided to make like war paint on their face every day
Right
It was like pink and blue stripes down their face and their arms. I was like, oh my gosh
That one's made on purpose to be able to see it
Yeah
So the ones that you want to rub in where it goes away and you don't know you're having it
They're a little bit more oily and they are full of chemicals. Yeah, so the zinc oxide one
That reflects the sun's UV
It's it's more natural. It's mineral, right? So let's let's break that down a little bit
What you want to look for for zinc
Oxide sunscreen is a minimum of 10% concentration. That's the least amount you want in there
So if you're looking at the back of the label you want 10%
In the ingredients list and then the higher is better just like any of the spf's the higher you go with the zinc content
The better however, it's harder to rub the white away, right? So just know that okay
So that's that's a little bit tough. So it has a bunch of things if you want to add
Glisser into it that's hydration and there's a bunch of I'm gonna add a link for all of the best top 16 zinc
Sunblocks one of them adds glycerin for hydration one of them adds
Extremalites extremalites to revitalize stress skin
All water resistant zinc oxide sunscreens have beeswax. What that's what makes it water resistant
Duh, duh. We think of that never I was yeah
What not sure
So it's a naturally occurring mineral
It's the key ingredient for the physical sunscreen. It's antimicrobial
Okay, we talked about this. We know all about it. Well, what's microbes bacteria?
Yeah, so it prevents bacterial infections and if you have that open cut from the city, you know the seashell in the sand
Zinx not going to become a problem with that. It's actually anti-inflammatory. So it heals wounds
No, we're so we picked very different things. Yeah, it strengthens the skin barrier
neutralizes oil on your skin. So if you already have oily skin, that's why I hate sunblock
Like my mental condition of it is like I'm already so oily. I don't want to do that. Yeah, so zinc gives you the opposite effect
and it's non
I can't read my handwriting
Coma degenic
I don't think that's correct. But all it means is it doesn't clog your pores
Okay, so if you're putting it all over your face, which is another thing I think of because I have bad skin
I don't want sunscreen going into my skin zinc oxide doesn't do that
Why in the world?
And this is a general statement for everybody
Have we not done this research years ago about what we're putting on our skin?
Because I think we live in a capitalist country. So what gets more money is what's put out
and
The health benefits and the health of it isn't really part of that factor
Like I don't know any of this and I put it on my body
All summer long and I've never looked into it. Yeah. Well, that's a that's a little bit of a you problem
A little bit just a little bit and a lot of it of the society that we live in but there are there are some
Non-benefits what's the opposite of that?
um cons
Yeah, like a not benefit benefit to your
Body it's harder to rub in the higher you go. So you have that white sheen
Yeah, but it's protecting you. So who the heck cares true
It could stain your clothing if you get the higher
Percentages has a little bit of a stain effect. I mean, have you ever used proactive people?
It's all over your towels and that's horrible chemicals and yeah, you do have to reapply it a little bit more than the rub in one
Okay, like you should reapply your kids zinc
More if they're in the water even if it's water resistant, which is the same as I guess other chemical sunscreens
And it because it's natural and it's a mineral and there's a lot of good things in it just like anything else
It's a little more expensive than the chemical ones, right? And that's why too. Yeah, that's why because when you're going to buy that
Sunscreen and it comes in a two-pack. Yep, and it's still less expensive. Yep than the good stuff
Well, it's like fast food. Yeah, you know, I use a survey. Did you just pull?
A zinc sunscreen out. Did you just pull? Where'd you pull? You don't have pockets. It was next to me next to my coffee
I everything I have recommended to you. I own it's in my house
And I'm the better sister. So
That wasn't mine wasn't told to me
Mine is 50 spf
Uh, however, and it's survey. I love it. This is what I did all the cruise. This is what I did last year
But I looked at the back after reading all this and it's only 4.7
Of the zinc oxide and it says that they would prefer a minimum of 10, but this worked. Yeah
This works for me. I didn't wear it one day on the cruise and that's why I got so red for the airplane, right?
Oh my gosh, we got sober. Yeah, because I didn't do this the last day, right?
So zinc all the way spend the money because you will spend less money on
aloe afterwards
And some of your life back and dermatologist appointments for you know all the bad things so well
wasn't that informative
Thanks, please tell me we're going back to white after Labor Day. I mean it's not far off
Okay, not far off. We like listen. We like a balance. We're diverse. We're different, but the same
Are you gonna whip it out of your pocket? No, because I don't own any of this stuff
This stuff that I must have in 2024. I must have mine because I do have it
I must have it because I don't have it my last
You're gonna laugh now
It's for that beach. I'm gonna laugh either way or that pool
Okay
And it's very serious
It's waterproof
Playing cards
Stop it. Yeah, it's the same thing as zinc. Okay. Oh, yeah
Yeah, it'll keep your kids under the umbrella longer
Playing cards with you at the pool not worrying if they're getting
Soaking wet and they're out of the sun. So they're not to play in the pool with no, but if they get wet, it doesn't matter
They're they're clear playing cards
That are completely waterproof. It comes with all of the different cards uno
They're waterproof regular playing cards. Um, there's like a whole gamut of of games you can play
But did you get these at Carmella's kitchen with the laminating machines? No, I didn't laminate them myself. They're legitimate. Okay
and they're
They're only 999
But I'm excited about this because
Sometimes Lewis just doesn't want to be in the pool. He's cold. He doesn't want to sit in the pool
He's just not a pool kid. Yeah for the most part
Now I can sit on a chair at the pool and play cards with him and like who cares if they get wet?
They're not it doesn't matter. They're waterproof and I'm very excited about that
Yeah, that's good. It will keep him out of the sun and it'll keep my dermatology appointments low and it will keep
His skin looking clear
Under that umbrella. So it's saving his body. Yes for 999. You are correct
You are 100% correct and I will be buying these waterproof cards and I'm very excited on my lounge chair with my snackle box
Listen
These are I think if you have children, that's a really good thing
All all kids want to do is play in water even in the backyard the slip and slides and the getting the hose out with the
Sprinkler
So if you want to keep outside and keep the sprinkler on these cards are great because you can continue to have games
And fun and not have to bring them inside and slash all the water around. Oh my gosh, my blood pressure is rising
Buy them. None of that matters to me
I feel perfectly fine
I am gonna add one more because I did say top three, but uh, I'm gonna do a bonus one
If you have a problem with chafing, which I know our nephew has a huge problem with it
Melody at a horrible time down the shore last year
If or anybody you don't have to be a kid, but they did all through high school
Yeah, so did I they tend to be in the in the water more than we are so it happens a lot to them
It's called body glide and it's anti-chafed cream. We used it. It's a roll on
We used it last year for Melody, but I didn't find out about it until the end of the summer
And I mean it got to the point where she didn't even want to go to the beach
Because it was so painful and the same thing with our nephew like we had to get him a special bathing suit
Right, and it's just like he just sits in this chair because he's like it's too painful
But you put it on before I'm sure if you are a surfer or if you live down the
The beach in the summer you already know this but get it's called body glide body glide. It's anti-chafed balm
It's an emollient added for smooth skin. It is great for dry and sensitive skin
So in sensitive areas so all the sensitive areas under your arms and between your legs
At at the top of your back line where your bathing suit is it's all just roll it all over
What about your brain?
If you're sensitive there
Oh, well, I don't think I'm sensitive there. I don't need it there. It wasn't about you
um
But yes, you can get him a multi-pack get it for the entire summer put it all over yourself
Put it all over your kids put it all over the playing cards
Doesn't matter. There's water. It's right
And then sit in your chair with your snuggle box and have a great summer
Hey, you rub that snuggle box into your skin. It's not gonna chafe
I like that body. I actually remember that you got it and you were like, uh, we did this too late
The Billy would run home and try to get Vaseline. Mm-hmm, which I think is something similar
I think it is. I think this is just more convenient and it's not as messy
It's for sensitive skin. Yeah, and it's in a roll on so you literally just
Roll it on your child or yourself really
Um
No drama you don't have to be on the beach for any of that
I chafe wearing a skirt or short shorts because my legs are big so yeah, but walking around like in the summer
Oh my god, New York was the where I never wore shorts in New York because you just sweat existing
And if you've got some thick thighs
That's not a good recipe
I wish I knew about this at that time
So I would I would use that now. Yeah, especially if you're like going around to walk around somewhere like a
Dorney park or a Hershey park type situation or the animal prison's bazoo
You could wear them in there. Did you just call it an animal prison that came out so quickly?
I don't know what's wrong with my voice today. I need to rub some body glide
Internally
Um holiday weekend got me uh, oh, yeah, but
Yes, those animal prisons you can it's a long hot day. You can put it on before that
Yeah, and you can walk around with your mosquito stick so that you
They don't get stuck to your body glide. Victoria's just wearing her bucket hat
You can find her with her crocs and socks. You know exactly who she is. I would never crocs and socks
I feel like I've seen you with crocs and socks
Claws crocs not sandals. Yeah, okay. All right, how dare you I mean
I can picture you right now. I am not I am not that I don't own a bucket hat
But I almost on my summer must-haves almost picked like a wide
A wide brim like one of those
Yeah, Billy and Andrew have like the wooden ones anything to cover the sun but has to be wide so that usually when we were a hat like a
baseball hat to the beach
It's only getting the front part of your face
Yeah, but it's missing the ears and like the sideburn side of your face
Which like I cannot believe that I'm even
This person at this stage of my life because I never thought I would turn into my aunt Vicki or Jeannie or Carmella
But the wide burn are super helpful. So I almost picked one of them, but I didn't and now I'm talking about it
So happy. Was that your bonus?
Sure. I don't have any type of link for you. Just get a wide burn one
Personally get one for the gardening because Carly really hates those that make me look like a big sunflower
She wears this hat that is
Mordifying to be around
And then she flips it up in the front when she wants to talk to you
I'm gonna post a pic because I took a few last year just so we can remember
My purpose in life is to annoy you. Oh my god. Is she so embarrassing?
I think I'm successful like if you're gonna live out your purpose
I've been doing it for 35 years. I gotta up the ante. No, I'm good. I get embarrassed easily and um
Victoria does it almost every day. How sad for you? I know
No, I'm okay with it. I just don't I shouldn't hang out with you
I think that's more the moral of the story fine with me. I am happy with my fire pit for one
Oh, no, I like s'mores though, so I'll come over for that. You're not invited to s'mores.
S'mores is my favorite dessert of all time
If I had to pick one number one, it's my number one
I love s'mores like if you if I were to order a giant ice cream bowl with s'mores on top
Oh
Wait, I just thought about that picture. Yeah, I I support that like a s'mores detailed ice cream sundae
or the detailing detail like a car like super detailed really intricate getting in the crevices
Coming out pristine. That's my top five. That's my last thing on my top five s'mores. No, just like s'more ice cream detail
Yeah, detail. I like that. That's just almost as good as Snacklebox. Where are we going from here going home?
Okay, so here's what you're gonna do
You're going to check out the links in the show notes for the next episode
I'm gonna check out the links in the show notes for all of these items because truly
I think they are all must-abs even down to the waterproof playing cards. Okay, don't knock it till you've tried it
I'm not knocking it. I'm dead serious. I bet they float. You could probably play them in the pool. I'm gonna try it
With that list of things to go search you'll find other things that maybe you'll find right?
I'm love to see what pops up when you type in Snacklebox
That'll be a fun little little FBI search Snacklebox
Maybe don't google Snacklebox because I'm afraid of what might pop up
That could go either way. I could go either way. I was licking her Snacklebox right now
Yeah, just like that's exactly what I meant
And yeah, I support all of these so that was fun
So fun. You must have these
And if you must
