LIVIN OUR CRAZY LIFE
F*CK HOT GIRL SUMMER
Hey guys, welcome back to another week of Live in Our Crazy Life podcast. It's Olivia. And Megan, and today we're going to talk about what happened this summer. Okay, it was supposed to be a hot girl summer. It was supposed to be health, wellness, fat ass, gym. We're going to go through everything that it was supposed to be. And then somehow, I mean, we're still hot and we're still girls and it was still summer. So that is something. But we're going to talk about kind of what happened to the plan. Okay, so let's let's talk about what was supposed to be. Yeah. So as you as now we've had a gym membership since the first day of January and it's a full year membership. Okay. So in the wintertime, we were very consistent. We went like six AM classes every day. We could go twice to be honest or to the yoga at night, stuff like that. But then somewhere along the lines in the summer, we found ourselves, we still went to the gym, but just not quite every single day. Well, no, it's not even that it's we were still going to the gym, but it's almost not every day. The asses weren't growing. The asses. It's also wasn't every day. I was still going, but I wasn't doing the same work as I was doing before. So before I was specifically doing ass workouts, now I was doing like arms and shoulders. I was doing full body. I was doing all of them. So a little bit different, but yeah. So the original plan was to have a super fat ass for the summertime. Okay, that was the original plan. No, like F like it was supposed to be there for the summer. You know, like if you had started in January, like it should be there by what July? No, guys, I don't know what happened. I know exactly what happened. Not really actually. A lot of life stuff happened though in like May. So I mean, there was like a fall back there, but like inevitable. Couldn't I couldn't do anything about that. But what was this happened? Yeah, we're supposed to have a fat ass, tone stomach, toned arms. Obviously someone commented that we have chubby arms. Yeah, it's okay. That's why because we're super insecure. We have our arms everyday. Just kidding. Yeah, we were supposed to be going in the gym. Okay, we were supposed to be like cooking meals, not eating well, not like buying any food or eating out eating out. And that did not happen either. I found a favorite sandwich spot called Lazar. So good. The favorite sandwich. Okay, so all you do is you grab your bun. I get all the breads, you get regular bread, and then you just hand it into the counter and they make the sandwich for you. Okay, the juiciest little best sandwich. It's just really good, you know? Yeah. So we've been going there quite a bit. But like we were doing good for like a week. Like we were buying, we bought groceries one week, and then after that, I don't really know what happened. Like life happened. We were very busy. We were very busy, busy people. We're always at work or, you know, working on this or doing something or just burn out, you know, burn out gets to you. So I just find that life happens and then you kind of compromise on something. This past month has been like super burn out for me. Like I can't even like get out of bed. Like I'm out of bed because I have to go to work regardless. I just want to lay in bed and just not do a single thing. Like I don't want to get up. I don't want to see people. I don't want to go to the gym. Like I'm not going to lie, this whole week I didn't go to the gym once. I had all my classes booked and I cancelled every single one of them. I just can't. I don't know. For me, I just, the past two months have been the busiest, most jam-packed work months that I've had in my entire life. So for me, like I'm starting to feel a bit of burn out just because I've been doing a lot and I have been overdoing it. And so now I need, I feel like I need to just do nothing for, you know, maybe one week or maybe one year. Who knows, right? I feel like I need to sleep for a month. Yeah. Like no world. No, I need like a whole month to just like be with nobody and just like sit there and like I want to go away on like somewhere on like the water and like a hut and like have nothing and no communication. Just like movies if I want and like music and books and go into the water, come back to my place, not talk to anybody and just sit there and eat fruit all night. And that's it. I don't want, I don't want to live this life. I don't want it so hard. I need slow and it's hard guys. It's really hard. Like I just can't. Okay, we're both going away. This, she's going tomorrow and I'm going in like four days and we're both gone separately. So hopefully we get to rest and recharge for a bit on our trips because we need a break. Anyways, more hot girl habits that we were supposed to be implementing this summer was, you know, I wanted to, this would be like my ideal day. If I had to give an ideal maximum, I'd help maximum what I wanted to do. I would wake up in the morning, I would go to the gym, I would come back, take a shower, you know, have some tea, go for a walk, maybe go find something to do, you know, go for a hike, swim in a waterfall. This would be the ideal thing, right? But we're so busy. You can't even make time. But I mean, like, I have time to go to the gym. Like, I can't do a 45 minute workout. It's not, it's just like, I can't, I can't get myself out of bed before like nine and that's like, I have to be at work and it's like bad. I don't even know, I can't even explain like, I just want to sleep. And that's it guys. Like, I don't even know what to say. But like, and then by the time I'm up, it's like breakfast is over. So it's like, I didn't make my smoothie with all my healthy stuff. I don't take my vitamins. I started this TikTok thing and I was like, guys, I'm really gonna, I'm gonna film and focus on like, how to get back on track, you know? No, it lasted three days. I just can't. Like, I'm, I'm really trying. Like, I, I know I have to because like, again, we're moving and I really need to just like, discipline and like, you get these habits rolling and like, focus on myself. It's just like, I don't know. I just have to like start. I started 75 hard. I started 75 hard all my TikTok, okay? And I was, I was like, I was going hard for it for a whole six days. I think I posted. And the thing for me is that Lib and I both really wrestle with posting, okay? Because like, I'll make the video and I'll post it and I'll go back and watch it. And I'm like, oh, I'll be like, people saw this, I know like, oh God. That's something you have to get over because obviously we're, you know, but we get over it and we do post and then it's just a cycle of like, oh my God, like, you, I don't want to. And we just have to shut up and just do it because the thing is is that life is moving and obviously we have goals where we can be and it is part of it. But the thing is, is that like, holy crap, man, you're like, I don't want to be making videos. I don't want to be. I feel like I'm showing you too much of my life and like, I'm a private person. Like, I don't like to have too much out there. And it's like, who cares like what I'm doing? Who really cares? Who gives the fuck what you're doing? Nobody. I'll forget to film the big stuff. I'll just, and then it's like, what, I'm going to bed, no one cares. But like, who cares, honestly? Like, but I do. Like, I see them like, oh my gosh, just shut the fuck up. Just shut up. Like, like, just, I watch it. I'm like, oh, this is a really good idea. Two days ago, I'm like, okay, take it down. I don't, it's like, what do you think you would feel differently if you posted it and it immediately went viral and got like, yeah, I don't know, no, because some of my videos, one of my videos got like 8,000. I still wanted to take it down. Like, I don't want that up there. Unrelated. When I was in Thailand, I posted a video doing trying foods in Thailand from 7-Eleven, okay? And I got bullied so hard on this explore Bangkok account. Everyone was saying, oh, you went to Thailand and you went to 7-Eleven, you got the convenience store snacks, why? I'm trying local food and I was like, so I actually lived here for a numerous amount of months. So excuse me for doing a video about 7-Eleven snacks. And at that point, that was super viral. That was like maybe 70,000 people watched it. And I still took that down because I just hate seeing myself in the light. But yeah, so over the summer, we were supposed to be posting, we were supposed to like be building our thing up, we were supposed to be really focused on our health, really focused on, you know, we were supposed to also take time to do things. We didn't say we were supposed to do anything this summer, guys. We usually have a trip, you know, I mean like we didn't go away. No, we usually go away a lot. Or back to your home when we spent some time there, but we didn't get to. Also like trips, we were just, I don't know what happened, guys. I don't know what, like summer went like this and I'm surprised we usually go to this beach town and we didn't go this year. I am surprised and you're never going to leave what happened last year. So we're very big on waves and beach waves. Every year we would go for a week and we would swim in the water and nearly drown the waves were that big all every year for years. So last year, we finally bought boogie boards because we thought, oh, we're going to take the waves on the board, right? Why is the water crystal clear flat? Like not crystal, why is the water so flat? There was not a single wave. There was not a single wave to be seen the entire week. So we bought boogie boards for nothing. We didn't even get to play in the water. And we were homeless for one night. We were homeless for one night. That's a whole, and we went to a party, okay? Oh my god, the lifeguard, bro. We've been going to this beach town for years and we made friends, not friends. We made lifeguard friends, sort of like sort of. We were friends with like the girlfriends that they had. And so they were throwing a party at the lifeguard's house and Liv and I were dreaming out of the car. We go get ready in the car and show up at the party. Mind you, we do not know these people. We really don't know these people. But we were like, let's just go, you know? We got invited. And there was a theme. It was Barbie and Army. So we should have chose army, but we chose Barbie. We did not dress in pink or anything. We just dressed in our regular clothes basically and showed up. Everyone was just dressed regularly. And we walk in and nobody even looks at us. Nobody comes up to say hi. Nobody says, come inside our house. No one is so awkward. So awkward. And then the girls, the girls were all looking at us like we're like, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? No one invited you here and they were looking at us with very much outsiders. It was very weird. So we ended up leaving. We literally just looked at each other, talked to a couple people and we were like, it's time to go. So as you can see, like we, well you can't see anything. I'm just telling you and you can do what you please with the information. It wasn't a hot girl summer to be honest. It was honestly like a work girl summer. It was work and like, that's it. It was work and like, what do we do anything? I'm trying to think if we did anything this summer. No, like I swear this past two months we haven't done a single thing. That's probably why we're feeling burnout. We usually do something like once a month at least. We need a break since we work very, very hard. We usually take a weekend here and there, but we didn't get to do that this time. So it's been a lot of hard work and focus, but I just think that we're taking our break now and then we're taking another break in a month. Okay, so can we turn this into a hot girl fall? What can we do to make it a hot girl? Yeah, hot girl fall. The thing with me is I've set too many expectations on myself and it's like just simmer down a little bit. Like I'm not going to have these huge expectations. The only thing is like work obviously still because we're moving out and like just take care of like my mind. Like I need to get myself right and I need to be in a good place and to do that I don't know the answer yet for everybody, but it's just like one day at a time. Hot girl fall? Nah, it's more like peace girl fall for me, but for me I have some notes to take from this hot girl fall because these are things that I would like to implement into my life that I would like to see a difference. So number one, the gym, I'm still going, but I'm just going to keep going. Number two, this sounds ridiculous, but yes, drink more water, okay, because I don't drink enough water. These are all like small things, but for me I think they will make a difference just because I haven't been making the time to properly take care of myself. Like I want a journal, right? We bought journals. I've touched it maybe twice, maybe twice, and it's just sitting empty and the whole point of why I got it was so that I wanted to every day come into my bed and write down what I did in the day so that when I look back on it I can look at all these memories and fun things I did, or even just the boring days, you know? But the thing is is that I've been working all day and all night, like literally all day and all night, so I don't actually get a chance to come sit down and just take a second to breathe and write and have a glass of tea or whatever. So I want to implement that for the fall. Also, like a proper sleep schedule. I've been working some days until like 9.30 am and I work all day, so I don't sleep, so I need to get a more balanced sleep schedule because I can definitely tell that I'm tired. Next, I need to be cooking more. I cook for other people all the time, but I don't cook for myself, so I want to cook more and I'm still going to be going to get those sandwiches. That's just something that's going to happen. In fact, I will probably go and get one today. But yeah, I want to just, I want to take better care of myself, better, more self-care, I think is what is going to make me healthier. I'll have it. Yeah, that's the biggest one, it's just myself. I spend so much time, this whole like, even like the summer, but like this year, I've spent the entire year putting everybody before myself and I just don't take time for myself. And then at the end of the day, I am like, have myself and then it's like, wow, I'm taking care of everybody else. Putting in so much effort, so much waste of time. And it's like, no. It's time to really focus on myself. Because sometimes I'm not good and I need to fix it and yeah, sleep is a big part. Honestly, I'm looking for a new job just for the last months that I'm here because I don't know, like, I need to work on my sleep schedule. It's really bad. And like also like the times that I eat in the day is all messed up and that's all bad too. And like, I just need to like, I'm still going to keep my bar job, but like I'm going to like lower the hours, just do maybe weekends and then hopefully get a different job. It's like during, you know, morning day so that I can really focus on like my sleep because sleep is super important. And I've been having like, no sleep. I'm like restless at night and it's bad. It's really bad. And so yeah, that's honestly like focus on myself. That's what the next like. That's the hot girl, hot girl ball is focused on yourself. It's set goals, you know, work towards those goals, but also don't be so hard on yourself and give yourself time. Like I just got a brand new job. So I still have the bar job. I still have all the other stuff, but I got a brand new job. And it is also a nightlife job. And it is going to impact my sleep schedule even more than before, because now I work till 2 a.m. This place is till 4 a.m. So for me, it's going to impact my sleep schedule even more. But that's why all the more I have to take, I have to work harder to get even more time. You know what I mean? And I think if you ask anyone in like what's the one thing you can, you would want more of? What's the one thing you want in life? What do you not have enough of? I feel like the answer is just time, you know? Time moves so fast and it's so precious. And I don't know how this is coming into talk about time right now, but take time for yourself. How do you do that? I don't know yet. I don't know yet, but I'm just going to do little things, little things and prioritize my time. I used to it all the time. If I had, you know, a day off, I'd be like, oh, I have to get everything done that I didn't get to do. And although that's good, you know, you have to get everything done. But I think that that's also just jam-packing your day. Sometimes you literally just have to sit and do nothing. Again, stare at a wall. I love to just stare at a wall. I love to watch this week. I'm going home to visit my nanum. I'm going for like, till the fourth. And then I have a concert, which I'm really excited about. It's Haslett, if you don't know, you can go search him up and listen to his music. It's really good, in my opinion. So I'm so excited about that. But the point of me saying all this is that when I'm home, it's like just so peaceful and like, I don't have to worry about anything going on over here. I don't have work over there. So it's like fully just like, I could just spend time with my grandma, spend time with my family. I'm giving myself this what I think it's like a week and a half to just fully be in peace mode. And then grind mode when I get home. Grind's not stopping when I get home until I move guys. And when I move, it's not stopping there either. So it's like, it's fully like, go, go, go. Once I get home from this, like, I don't have any other trips, like long trips plan. It's like fully like, go, go, go, go, go. And like, I'm actually a little scared for that. But it is what it is. And that's okay. Yeah. So my trip is to Spain and Morocco. And I'm going for, I think, two and a half weeks. How about this hot girl summer, hot girl fall? I think, you know, after further reflection on this, I think that I didn't get jack shit. Nothing done this. Except work. But I think that it's not a real thing. Like, hot girl, I mean, there are certain people who take that seriously. And I'm not a hot girl summer. Follow a specific regime and, you know, get hotter over the summer or go out on the streets in the summer and do all these things. So we didn't not do that. And I think that for us, hot girl summer just means taking time and caring for yourself. I didn't have anything done. And though maybe we didn't take the best care of ourselves going forward. I think this is like a wake up call to say, this was like a little meeting that we just talked and we said, okay, so we didn't. We need a balance. You need a balance in life. And also don't put so much pressure on having a hot girl summer or I need to get this, this and this, this done. Like, you'll burn yourself out and like it's like for real burn out. And like, you don't need to do all that, you know, but like having a balance is super important. Like, and I just need to learn how to have a balance between like when I'm working, it's just like work, work, work. And then like, that's it. Like, it's just, that's it. And like, I don't want my life to be just that. And like, I need to take care of myself because like what I'm going to be like, 40 and dead. Like, at this point, stress, stress and anxiety takes such a toll in your body. Number one, it causes so many diseases in your body. And number two, you know, it causes your skin to break out, it causes, you know, kidney and liver to be out of whack, eating habits out of whack, sleep schedule out of whack, hygiene, everything. Stress and anxiety is so real causes so many effects with your mental and your physical. And I just think that the more we can do to lessen our load of stress is the healthier you will be. That directly correlates to health. So whatever it is for you that helps you be stressed, maybe it's going home, maybe it's taking a bath, maybe it's going for a walk, whatever it is, like make sure you take time to do those things because otherwise you'll work yourself into the ground and you need a balance. Buck hot girl summer. There is no hot girl summer. There is no hot girl fall either. Like, I don't even know what hot girl, what is that like? Whatever your hot girl summer is, just take less pressure off it. You don't need a specific like routine. Just do your thing. Just do your thing. Regular girl guy summer, regular girl guy fall. Okay, like, I don't know. Work on yourself. Things I want to do in fall is I want to go apple picking. I love apple picking, but I'm missing it this year because I'm going to be in Spain and Morocco. So I'm I'm missing it, but I love fall so much. It's like the comforting season for me. Yep. There's always things I say I want to do like, oh, in the winter time, you know, at Christmas, I want to go skating. I want to go skiing. I want to make Christmas. We did go skating last time. I mean, when I collect these things, I want to do on my hand. I'm like, I don't I can't do all these things. I don't have time to do all these things. So, you know, in fall, of course, I want to go apple picking. I want to dress up for Halloween. I want to carve a pumpkin. I don't want to do all these things, but I'm just going to slow my roll down. Like, if it happens, it happens. September went by like this and I didn't do it like anything in September. Like, I didn't do anything. I I did one thing and that's it. Like, I didn't do anything. Like, I I read one book this whole summer, guys. One book I read this whole took me a whole three months to read one book. That's crazy. Fuck, hot girl summer because summer already passed. Maybe next summer, guys. I think that about ends this episode today. Hope you guys enjoyed fuck hot girl summer. Make time for yourself. Enjoy the fall weather wherever you live. Maybe you live somewhere where it's hot all the time though. So, you guys can do infinity hot girls somewhere. Really good. You guys can just like, if it doesn't happen, like one month, you can just go to the next month and make it try to happen again. But yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this episode. I don't know, we kind of just yapped today. We'll see you next week. Bye.
This week, we dive into the reality of "hot girl summer" and why it didn’t quite go as we had planned. As we transition into fall, we talk about focusing on finding the balance between work and self-care.
