Sex, Drugs and Skincare
PREGNANCY SKINCARE/GUEST COMEDIAN COURTNEY PAUROSO
Ever wonder what you can and cannot use during pregnancy? Ever wonder why a regular person who’s not pregnant is OK to use certain products? We question that too. Guest Courtney Pauroso, winner of the years’s funniest comedy show by vulture magazine and Vanessa 5000 her character sex robot, go through all of the yeahs and neighs when it comes to skincare for pregnant women. Courtney is super pregnant so it made especially poignant, but also hilarious. Courtney’s letting it all hang out so definitely watch the episode on YouTube if you want to see Courtney’s full on pregnant belly. She is delightful and adorable and I was so lucky to have her on the podcast to talk about an area that I probably wouldn’t even think about anymore since I’m passed breeding age. :)
You are listening to, watching, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling sex, drugs and skincare. Like and subscribe. Hey, welcome back to sex, drugs and skincare. It's me, nikki Davis Jr, with me, as usual is-.

Speaker 1:Senior.
Speaker 2:Senior.
Speaker 1:No, you're Sandra.
Speaker 2:Yocolano, I'm Sandra Yocolano.
Speaker 1:I'm not supposed to say no, that's bad improv.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's really bad improv If I say that I'm you, you're supposed to go yes, you are. And I'm also me.
Speaker 1:And then you keep it going and we're twins, and we're twins. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were born out of different moms.
Speaker 2:Yes, we're born out of different moms, 11 years apart, 11 years apart, out of wedlock by the way, wedlock sounds like lock.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that does sound bad. Yeah, we're going to talk to our next guest about the wedlock. That does sound terrible, the lock part, the lock part yeah.
Speaker 2:The Loch Ness Monster. It's not a good association, you know like your wedlock Ness Monster.
Speaker 1:But if you're in Scotland and you go to the locks, that's not so bad.
Speaker 2:Right, or if you have curly hair, or if you like cream cheese and a little bit of a smoked salmon by the way your hair does look really good. I wanted to say that I wanted to wait till we were on camera to say it this is my boyfriend.
Speaker 1:Slash sherpa, slash set decorator. You guy, you, you guy, you guy, not you guys, you guys uh thank you.
Speaker 2:I washed my hair today and I, um, I put just like a little bit of this like stuff called, uh, hairball, the stuff you bought me, all right, and uh, and then here we are. Yeah, you look good. Thank you very much, all right, no, that's not come on. Oh sorry, we're. This is gonna be on youtube. I know youtube doesn't like anything no touching no, in fact, when we sleep at home at night, we had to have separate beds. You have to. Can't tell people like I love lucy, right yeah yeah I love sandra I love
Speaker 1:myself yeah I love myself so much that I sleep in a separate bed isn't that messed up? You can't even show yourself in a bed with yourself because people get the wrong idea why else would you be in a bed by yourself, unless you're doing up to no good? Yeah, put your hands above the covers. What are you sleeping? Yeah you know, put your hands above the covers yeah, take a cop oh, yeah, yeah, give to your license and all your license information. Obviously I was a cop, so yeah.
Speaker 2:Licensed information, yeah, uh, do you know why you stopped?
Speaker 1:do you know why you stopped? Do you know why you?
Speaker 2:stopped. Do you know why you stopped? And you're like, because you pulled me over. That's right, okay.
Speaker 1:I watched something recently. It said I watched something. I think I read it maybe on Instagram. It said if somebody pulls you over, if you get pulled over and they say, do you know why I pulled you over? Always say no.
Speaker 1:It's not like improv you always want to say deny, deny, deny, because then, if you know, then that incriminates you that you knew that you were going the rock speed limit, or you knew you were drinking a beer in the front seat right right, right, yeah, yeah, no yeah oh my god yeah, yeah, you don't have nobody drinking a beer in the front seat?
Speaker 2:yeah, what uh, that makes sense I would be.
Speaker 1:I'm I'm always honest because I, just when I, when I'm nervous, when I'm gonna get nervous, I'm honest because it's just easier yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you don't have to think of something, you just it blurred out. Yeah, that's a good reflex to have, though I guess um, I was, I'm also, I was taught to like. When you do any kind of food service food service or food delivery or whatever it is you never apologize, never, even if it's for the restaurant oh, I'm sorry, the restaurant did this to you. No, you go there and if you messed up someone's order, I've learned just to go, yep, and then they go where's my IC and I go. But I never say sorry, I never apologize, I just go. Hope you have a better night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's pretty.
Speaker 2:You didn't get your go. Hope you have a better night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's, and then yeah, but if you know you're arnold bomber, yeah right right, I had a friend of mine who, uh well, I used to be a lawyer, but now I'm a food driver food delivery driver.
Speaker 2:Sorry by day, yeah, by day. I'm a high power defense attorney uh. During the day and at night I like to well, I hang around like jack in the box a lot and I'll deliver people's uh diabetes late night he's not really an attorney guest, by the way.
Speaker 1:But how funny would that be if, like I'm like. No, I know my rights, sir, you can't give me a four-star rating. They recognize you after you take your glasses off, like you're a super lawyer.
Speaker 2:Actually, I'm not actually wearing any glasses when I do that. I just go like this and there's no glasses there. It throws people off.
Speaker 1:The apologizing thing. That's one of the first things they teach you in beauty school too. Is don't ever say I'm sorry, yeah, or the other one you don't ever say is you don't go oops, because then they're like what, what, what?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Because it right away it's.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there was a friend of mine. Well, my brother's friend was telling me that like they came to his house, um, and his grandfather was sick or something like that, so they got the grandfather on on the gurney and as they're wheeling him out, they don't hear, they don't see anything. They just hear oops. And the lady's like what do you mean? Oops, and he goes oh, we thought we lost him for a second.
Speaker 2:Like, just like that, it's like oops no way, yeah, so like he was gonna fall off the gurney no, like like he, like he dipped, like he just like dipped down, but apparently, like you know, low blood pressure or whatever, but he was like it was a very serious moment.
Speaker 1:Oh, they lost him. I thought oh, like in death, they were at the mall.
Speaker 2:They were like keep this guy in a gurney over here. We're going to go to the food court.
Speaker 1:And then, oh, where did he go? That's where I would always hide and see if my mom would notice that I was gone.
Speaker 2:You're like, right in the middle you put your mom still at the mall. What but that's abandoning? You can abandon that. You can abandon that story about abandonment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to do that right now. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I have a question. It might be a weird question, but it's going to be off topic. But what's?
Speaker 1:the show about today? That's a really good question. Thank you, I want to know. Let me see with my notes. Okay, this one I actually tailor made for our guest today and you'll see why. But today we're going to talk about something that I'll never need to know about for myself personally, but for my clients I might need to know.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Beauty let's start again. We're going to need to know absolutely beauty. Let's start again. We're going to need to know beauty products, the whole thing again. Yes, I am mickey davis. Welcome back to sex, drugs and skincare. Perfect, uh. Today we're going to talk about beauty products to avoid, while you are pregnant.
Speaker 2:Okay, I never even thought about that, like I mean, it makes complete sense. But you're putting on your face, it's going into your skin, which is going into your baby absolutely. Absolutely so. You have to be more conscious of what you put in your body. I also want to ask her if she gave up Froot Loops. How do you know? It's a she? Oh my God, that's right. I just watched Arnold Schwarzenegger in that movie, with the one where he plays the twins. Oh, when he gets pregnant with Danny DeVito he's got.
Speaker 2:He's carrying danny debito to full term, uh, and he hasn't come to terms with he was in texas, because he was in texas. Yep, nice zinging the texas zinging the texas.
Speaker 1:Thank you, texas yeah that was good, yeah, well, why don't we start? Bringing out the guests start bringing out the guests I'm excited okay okay, so this guest is my client, but she's such a talented-.
Speaker 2:Hold on a second. Hold on a second. My guest is my client and not but oh, that's right, you told me to do this. It's inclusive, it's very inclusive.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't want to say just because she's my client, why would she be talented?
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is a super talented comedian. Uh, she, while I was in um scotland she had a. You were at the fringe festival, did you like, were you doing that through the whole thing? Yeah, I did the whole month. My god it was, and she got so many rave reviews. Uh, right now she's voted. Uh, let's see. First of all, it's called vanessa 5000. You can see it on dropout, not dropbox you were.
Speaker 2:You were worried about that. We're not sponsored by dropbox, so we need to blip that up. Put a little WeTransfer logo over it, or. Dropouts so it's on Dropout.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then by Vulture Magazine, yes Voted top 10 comedy specials of the year. It's pretty dope, it's pretty dope, yeah.
Speaker 2:And also, you know what I like too.
Speaker 1:No, Most people, no, most people will give somebody's credits yeah, but the fact that you turned over and asked to make sure does not show. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2:No, not unprofessional. No, not unprofessional at all. What it does is just like no, I want to make sure I get this right. I want to make sure, yeah, and who cares about what's the podcast? So it's all about inside baseball. Yeah, there are no walls that's true I'm just. I want to make sure that you knew that I thought that was very nice of you and genuine.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, I thought you were making fun of me like that. Not at all, only 50, 50, 40.
Speaker 2:50, 40?. I leave 10% out, just in case.
Speaker 1:Just in case you needed to use against me on the way home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but no, I was just making sure that I like the way you did that. It was very natural care this has been the longest intro. This is longer than any intro I think I've ever done that means that we both care exactly.
Speaker 1:It's gonna spin it the right way yeah, all right, coming to the couch, courtney palroso. Yay, I don't know why I clap for myself. You always should happy to be here. Oh, my god, thanks for having me, thanks for saying yes, yes, this is so cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is I'm, I'm. I'm very proud to represent pregnancy.
Speaker 1:I know this is the first. You are the first pregnant person that we know of. That's been on the podcast.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was nice. We know of.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Disclaimer notes.
Speaker 1:Yes, I don't know. Nikki Bond may have been.
Speaker 2:I don't think she was we don't know anybody what goes on in anybody's body. We really don't. We don't ask questions.
Speaker 3:You wait so long to tell people kind of it feels like a long time.
Speaker 1:Right. How long did you wait to tell people?
Speaker 3:Like a 12, like standard, like three months where you're like and you can tell like people my sister told people before that and I don't know. Like not literally, it feels like that's like a secret. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah.
Speaker 1:Did your parents get mad at you for not telling them, or?
Speaker 3:No, they were happy. So my sister, my younger sister, is like due two days after me with her first baby as well. That's like a weird, crazy coincidence. That's so cool, but she had told my parents like like very early on, and I told them later, but they just were so happy.
Speaker 1:So wait. So who got pregnant first?
Speaker 3:I mean I'm due two days before her.
Speaker 1:technically, so she had to one-up you.
Speaker 3:So I'm technically probably got pregnant first, but it was very close, we don't know. Like due dates are kind of like not always precise anyway.
Speaker 1:So it could have been at the exact same time.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, which is nasty.
Speaker 1:How much younger precise anyway so it could have been at the exact same time. Oh yeah, which is wow. How old is? How much younger is? She's 10 years younger than me. Oh wow, yeah, I have two sisters that are nine years younger. And, um, do you have like a stepdad situation?
Speaker 3:no, my parents had me young, and then they were like oh, let's do another one I have a brother in between oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, wow, yeah yeah so I'm just I can't stop staring at the belly. It's so cool.
Speaker 3:I know I decided to wear it out like, because I'm trying to. I normally only wear like sweatpants and yoga pants, but I got these from a friend the other day and I was like I need to rock the belly out like rihanna she's like my inspiration.
Speaker 1:I love that. That's amazing. Uh, you have you brought your own orb.
Speaker 3:That's right, yeah you might, you might get to see it. I mean sometimes you can see him moving around. He's not moving right now. Oh my gosh Anyway.
Speaker 1:Is there anything you can't do? A lot of stuff I can't do. You couldn't do your show. Obviously Cannot do my show.
Speaker 3:That would be amazing, though. I mean, I can't even sit up using my abs because it's yeah yeah it's pretty nuts, it is right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I haven't been pregnant, but I've just I've seen a lot of them, yeah it's just like just amazing that, yeah, yeah, I'm still like one of those things where I'm like okay, you tell me how it is. I'm like yeah, yeah, okay yeah but it's just amazing.
Speaker 1:I can't believe women's bodies are just like, yeah, women are better.
Speaker 2:We're not sponsored by women, by the way.
Speaker 1:We're not, and my earrings don't say fuck the patriarchy, I'm just so you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're supposed to say f the p-archy oh, that's right f the p-archy we know it's fine you're fine, I can say pat you can get pat track it what pat tracky? Let's go back to the message. It's your vape again, babe. No, no, no, I'm good, okay, good, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, this is so cool. I broke my arm when I was in Scotland so that I wasn't able to see you. I know, I remember, yeah, and it was a. Really it was fine, the trip was fine, but there were times where, like my pants were falling down and I couldn't even like pull my own pants up, and like I was like down in Old Town like trying to carry bags, so yeah, and it was raining and stuff like that on and off.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Scotland's.
Speaker 1:I really wish I'd come to see your show, though, because I've seen so many of the clips of it and it's so great.
Speaker 3:Well, you can watch it on Dropout. Yes, I'm like but yeah, no, I had a great time doing it. What's the theme of it? It's about a sex robot. It's like a sex robot giving a demonstration of herself and it like goes awry. And it's kind of also just an excuse for me to do all my little tricks that I like to do.
Speaker 1:Are you a gymnast?
Speaker 3:No, I was in like a movement theater company right out of college so I got some like mime and like dance training, but that's cool, that's amazing that like. So I'm like kind of good at movementy stuff and this is, like you know I don't want to say how many years later, so I can't do it as well as I used to, but enough for like a clown I was gonna say did you go to clown school too, or is that I didn't go to?
Speaker 3:like clown school, like in france like the fancy clown school that everyone goes to, but my clown teacher studied with that guy. Oh wow, I did like sketch comedy and stuff before I was like, ooh, clown, you know.
Speaker 1:And so can you like pratfalls, and they teach you that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3:I think some clown schools do, but when I studied it was more. It's kind of like I don't know. It's kind of like I don't know, it's kind of mysterious what did they teach you, though? Like literally, it's like one of the main exercises is like alright, enter, do something, make us laugh. Really, we hate you. We hate you. Oh, we like that. Oh, we like that. Keep doing that. Alright, get out it's crazy it's like they give you nothing that's how they're like.
Speaker 1:That's your report card sort of.
Speaker 3:I mean, it's like you're kind of like coming on as yourself and you have to be open to the audience. It's about like kind of being sensitive to the audience and like helps you find stuff that you couldn't have found, if you like had a plan yeah like because sometimes you you enter with a plan, it doesn't work, and then you're like suffering and you're like, oh, fuck.
Speaker 3:And then, you find something that just drops in and you build that and you don't know it's like so absurd you don't know why it would have worked does it force you to be like a big present, like just to pay attention what's going on with everything?
Speaker 2:yeah, and like to your audience and yeah, it's kind of mysterious work.
Speaker 1:I kind of want to do it.
Speaker 3:It sounds fun like the sort of movement it's it is fun and it's like really vulnerable and yeah, like when I I've like taught a couple of clown classes, I don't think I'm the best teacher in the world.
Speaker 3:I shouldn't say that, but like um, yeah, like you're you kind of, sometimes I'm like you can't talk, like I don't want you to talk, because then you're getting, you're trying to be clever and it's like that. The work is kind of outside of that, of course, like my show is written now, so it's like a combination of things, but like the principal is like I don't know, now I sound like a fucking asshole talking about the phone.
Speaker 1:You know, if you teach again, tell me, because I definitely will take the class.
Speaker 3:That would be really there's better teachers than me. I want a recommendation.
Speaker 2:Thank you for your honesty.
Speaker 3:I'm like learning how to teach, but some people are just really good at teaching and like, really good, I'm figuring it out.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, I mean, teaching has its own skills.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, totally Well. I mean, I'm sure you've run into a lot of situations with products you came to me. Yeah, we weren't able to lay you down, Did we lay you down?
Speaker 3:Actually, you did lay down flat, we did, but I just put a little pillow under my hips.
Speaker 1:Yeah, product-wise, I kept it pretty simple, yeah, but I looked up some stuff to see, like you know, just in case there was anything. This is from the National Library of Medicine. Oh, this is okay. So some of the treatments it says you're not supposed to do certain foot massages have you come to that?
Speaker 3:I had heard that because, like in Chinese medicine, like part of the foot is like connected to the uterus and it can cause, like contractions or something. I know that when I would get cramps.
Speaker 1:they would push, like on my I don't know what this is called like below your ankle, yeah.
Speaker 2:Like, right near like your Achilles, like your tendon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but on either side of your foot.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Right, so I didn't put the part that it was, but that's probably what it is. Yeah, yeah. Otherwise, what it is, yeah, yeah. Otherwise, could you imagine if you just went into labor?
Speaker 3:I know well, I think it can like cause early miscarriage I don't know. I've also heard things where they're like it's not really proven, but maybe best to just avoid it. So that's probably, and like you'd have probably to hold it for like all night long, but I know like when people are like going, like they want to go ahead and go into labor, like it's their past, their due date, you can go get acupuncture. That apparently like can stimulate.
Speaker 3:You know, and I'm sure they're putting in that part of the foot. Would you do that I might? Yeah, I'm not like a.
Speaker 1:I've done acupuncture but I'm not like doing it regularly or anything but like, if you're like over, yeah, I would try it, yeah, yeah yeah, for sure before the stretch marks come yeah, you don't look like you're going to even get stretch marks.
Speaker 3:My mom didn't apparently.
Speaker 1:Yeah, with three kids, so it's hereditary, you won't get it.
Speaker 3:And I've been really good about oiling up my belly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what do you put on it for everybody who's pregnant and the audience?
Speaker 3:I got like one fancy product and now I can't. I think it's like from australia or something, I don't know um, but I put that on my belly and then I've just been using like palmer's, like cocoa buttery, I don't know. I put anything on on the rest of my body just to keep it moisture moisture sealed in I don't know if, like, there's any like magic thing that's better than anything else, but I seems like it makes sense to keep it like hydrated.
Speaker 1:Yeah, otherwise it's just going to like pull it apart. Yeah, you're doing a great job, so thank you.
Speaker 3:I mean, I'm going to get so much bigger than this, so are you really? Yeah, how many months is this? This?
Speaker 1:I'm like seven and a half, so you're going to leave it a lot bigger than that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because the baby's going to double in size. At least, no way, yeah, and you gain a lot of weight and belly size at the end. You're going to look like a man in his 50s yeah.
Speaker 1:Like they get the big.
Speaker 3:I actually did an improv show where we had to come in costumes a couple weeks ago and that's what I did Like a wife figure.
Speaker 1:Oh, you did that's had to like come in costumes a couple weeks ago, and that's what I did like a white, like a wife.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, that's so great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I was terrible in the show.
Speaker 3:I had a very elaborate costume, and then I haven't done actual improv in so long. I was literally saying like I don't know, like don't, I don't know, man you know, come to the right place because you've been teaching me that it was so bad. I was like I was kind of cracking up at like how I was like you can't say I don't know you're supposed to make it up oh, you actually said it out loud.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I would be like and I was like trying to do this like man voice and I kept making myself cough. So I was just like, and it was like, it was like a show when we were on stage for the whole hour so I like come out in my like elaborate costume, just like eating shit like coughing and saying like I don't know, it was so bad, that's perfect.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean what it was not, but you know, I have I have bigger things to worry about than a bad improv well, I mean, I'm literally almost on every show where you do like yeah, we're learning.
Speaker 1:Yeah like uh, oh, yeah, no end.
Speaker 2:Or stuff like uh, I didn't believe it yeah, like right after a seat or just like hold on, let me think yeah yeah, hold on, let me think wait wait what's funny, and then yeah yeah, try again.
Speaker 1:Yeah or um, I think I have to put money in my meter. Yeah, that's a good one. I gotta get out of here, yeah it's real life improv because not everything is not everything wraps up nicely. You know it's not a full circle, so yeah, so if you have any of those um you can yeah, or even just saying good, improv is also yeah, nice, you would have said that that would be amazing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was, oh yeah, and I had to like unbutton my pants at one point because they like, I wore my husband's jeans and they were like digging into me and I was just like, you know, there's a bunch of people on stage but I had to just be like, uh, I'm gonna unbutton my pants.
Speaker 1:And everyone you know like, and it's not weird, you know.
Speaker 3:It's not weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was yeah.
Speaker 3:But my show was really good yeah.
Speaker 1:She was phenomenal on the show.
Speaker 3:My show that I worked on is good. I'm like saying like I'm a bad teacher, I'm a terrible improviser.
Speaker 1:Two truths and a lie.
Speaker 2:Exactly Right, right, right, no. Well, this was two, two truths and a truth.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all right. Yeah, yeah, nice. Yeah, yeah, that's a great one. Yeah, nice, that's another one. Yeah, nice.
Speaker 1:That's good. Yeah, she gets it yeah. You got to see good at bad improv on this show so I looked up certain things deep tissue strokes of the ankles Okay, so it was the ankles and the calves, like I was saying, and those should be avoided because your body's still changing and I guess more blood is circulating through your body 50% more blood in your body. Where does it all go?
Speaker 3:in there. I mean it's going to my ass. It's like all like. I was like whoa really. Yeah, which is fun, you're so tiny. I mean I, my ass is different really tell me something about pregnancy.
Speaker 2:My ass is different.
Speaker 3:My husband says I have like a renin stimpy butt now because you know the cartoons, because it's like kind of still short but it sticks out a lot like a little like that's so funny like a little bubble.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want to get pregnant you want to get a red and steamy butt. Yeah, yeah, yeah okay, I, I think I have a. I have a ren butt which one is the ren?
Speaker 1:ren is a chihuahua right oh, where you can't, it just goes from the back to the way, no, you don't you have a cute butt?
Speaker 2:well, that's another improv. No, you don't. There you go, I like that, yeah, yeah, negate, deny it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, no, no I like that one.
Speaker 2:You didn't say words yeah, you see me no no that's there you go.
Speaker 1:That's improv oh, okay, so just improv.
Speaker 2:You say no to the whole show itself.
Speaker 1:All right, go ahead okay, um, so it can put a strain on your circulatory system. I guess, if you're like causing more circulation yeah, I put a and I'm assuming that could I mean maybe even give you like more, um, like distended veins and things like that.
Speaker 3:I mean, yeah, that's it you don't look super veiny I'm veiny are you?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, you got like the chest veins Chest like at night, I see like the whole map Fascinating.
Speaker 3:Yeah, isn't that crazy? It's crazy, yeah, but I'm kind of veiny already. You are Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you work out and so you have like on circulatory or it can be taxing on the circulatory system. Is it like you're causing more circulation to go to your legs as opposed to other places? Oh, Because I'm wondering, because you can exercise and stuff like that too, right, they want you to move around. Yeah, that's a good point so maybe it's like those specific areas, those specific points Probably could cause even more like cause the fact that, like you get swollen or whatnot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know the answer to that question, but don't touch anybody's legs ever.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 3:Disclaimer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you don't ever have to ask uh to ask a question, you can just ask it.
Speaker 2:By the way, Wait, can I hold on? Yeah, is that cool, it is.
Speaker 3:Okay, let him get away with anything can I get a sip of water right?
Speaker 1:now. Oh yeah, please, okay. Yeah, thank you for asking, yeah that's also a very good improv.
Speaker 2:Can I get some water real quick? Just I like that, that's my.
Speaker 1:That's so funny I think better when I'm hydrated, okay. So obviously we've talked about this before you and I probably talked about it. But retinol salicylic acid, yeah, parabens we've done shows on parabens and phthalates and those are really bad for you anyways but, especially because you're putting it on your skin and people are finally starting to realize that anything you put on your skin, you're putting in your body.
Speaker 3:I know it's scary. I actually like I mean I got, I went and got like a new makeup, I like that. I was like approved or whatever, like um and but it's. But I feel like I'm paranoid, like cause you know, once you start, if you start going down the rabbit hole, you're like I can't touch anything, like everything is has a microplastic, oh yeah. Everything has microplastic.
Speaker 1:I know, I was thinking about that. There was something else that was like. I forget what it was, I'll think of it later. That's another good improv. No, I'll think of it later. Okay, so let's see. Oh, okay. So this just tells you what I've been telling people forever is that the chemical sunscreens that are so bad for you avobenzone, oxybenzone those are ones that are really toxic, yeah, and those are the ones that protect you more from the A-rays, but they are. They break down faster and they are. They're toxic.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They're super toxic so.
Speaker 3:I got some nice sunscreen, but I definitely have used the bad kind in a bunch.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you use it a couple of times, it's like, but if you're baking it into your skin every single day? No, baking it into your skin every single day. No, no, no. And you know? Or like the, uh, the barrier reef, is it one of those reefs?
Speaker 3:that like it's just covered with sunblock and they're like they're suffocating, so that that just tells you but do you wear sunscreen every day? Still, you just wear like the good kind.
Speaker 1:I don't really go out every day, so um, but when I do, if I know I'm gonna be out for a few minutes, I'll put it it on, but usually I wear a hat. Today I put a little bit on, just because I don't remember why.
Speaker 2:You said you had to go to the bathroom and turn the light on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I think it's something like that.
Speaker 2:I didn't want to go near the window. You said you had to open the oven for a second. He's kidding, by the way, that the oven for a second he's kidding.
Speaker 1:By the way, that's another. He never used the light in the bathroom. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. Oh, yeah, he's kidding. Oh, my god, that's so funny. Yeah, he's just joking, joking. Yeah, don't buy it. Uh, so hydroquinone is another one that it's not good. Um, for pigmentation. People use that to like um, that's it's. They're saying that's not good for you anyways what?
Speaker 3:so? It's hydroquinone is to solve hyperpigmentation. It's supposed to break it up, okay.
Speaker 1:But that's one of the ones they're saying now, like you know, ixnay, on the hydroquinone, I've been using Osea Is that the brand, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3:Which is like apparently like a non-toxic brand for like my moisturizer and like night cream, oh, but not for like pigmentation or anything.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, it doesn't do anything. I mean, I know it does stuff. It's like a call. You know it doesn't do anything.
Speaker 3:It's not like you know it's just like to keep you moisturized.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly Like. Yeah, it's just simple, it's simple. Yeah, you're not overcomplicating it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm not like I'm not like encyclopedic knowledge of beauty products person Like I I don't. I did more research to when I got pregnant than I ever did before. I'm sure, yeah, and that's probably all I would do is just be on the internet all day long like researching stuff it's like kind of about I've like learned that I have to have a balance, to not do it too much, because I don't want to get like you know, because then anxiety is bad for the baby too that's true.
Speaker 1:And just sitting for that long at the computer, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2:That must be nerve wracking, because anytime I have something wrong with me, I purposely don't go online, because I know that it could be a million things. Yeah, but when you're like caring for another life form inside your body. You must be like I can't even. I think the Internet is bad for you too. Oh right.
Speaker 1:So that, yeah, blue light and all that stuff, yeah, like the whole thing is just like yeah, it's crazy Did you say crazy, yeah, I did say.
Speaker 2:All right, okay, that's good improv, go ahead.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, that's crazy, yeah, that's a good one. So those chemicals are, apparently they can cause birth defects, which makes sense, because phthalates and some of the microplastics have been known to like mess up your pituitary gland, which affects your hormones yeah. Right. So here's the rule of thumb If you're trying to put something on your face, do what a pregnant lady would do. If you don't want to get like toxic crap in your body, right yeah, because you're just basically a filter as your person.
Speaker 3:It's like we're sharing I actually don't know, but a lot of stuff. Yeah, she's a doctor, I think it's like yeah, I think like he's living inside me right now, so like my body is the environment that he's getting all his nutrients and stuff.
Speaker 1:But you're the filter that he goes through, so you get to keep all the crap and he gets all the good stuff.
Speaker 3:I would think excuse me, I have heard that like they'll leech from you no matter what. So like when you're like supposed to like eat a lot in pregnancy and like eat well, it's kind of like for you more than the baby, like the baby's gonna take what it needs oh, okay interesting.
Speaker 1:Okay, I mean I'm sure it's, it's for both, but my mom said when she was pregnant with my brother, all she could eat because she was so sick was saltine crackers, and she thought he was going to come out with special needs, but because that's all she could eat. Well, it's very common I was able to eat the whole time you were.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the whole time I had like a couple weeks where I only wanted to eat like mac and cheese and like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like kid food. But now, ever since then, it's been like kind of normal it's just normal, it's no fun and I've been hungry the whole time, like are you hungry, like several times a day?
Speaker 1:several times like more than like a normal. Are you hungry three times a day? Several times a day?
Speaker 3:no, I feel like there's some weeks where I'm like so hungry and then somewhere it seems normal maybe, maybe he's like he's building some part of his body that he needs more nutrients for.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so wild, it's so wild.
Speaker 2:It's crazy over here too. How it says On the notes, it can cause labor issues. So avoid, obviously, tanning pills, tanning injections, sunbeds, botox injections, saunas, jacuzzis and hot tubs.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But if you're not pregnant, yeah, just do everything, yeah it's so funny like stuff that like probably you should put your body anyways, but they're like but don't.
Speaker 1:If you're pregnant, don't do that, that's what I'm saying, yeah that's. That's just not how that even you know if you're yeah, if you're curious, just use the baby. I like that, the baby version of it, I guess yeah, although tanning pills does sound kind of like a fun idea, I think the bodybuilders use those tanning pills, tananny pills, pills. Oh yeah, oh wait oh yeah, what.
Speaker 2:What are those? I, uh, the bodybuilders, take them, you know, to like I was like drink like iodine capsule and then like how does that work?
Speaker 1:I actually don't know the answer to that. I could have looked that up. Can we pause? Can? We pause this and come back in a week, yeah well, I want to do some research yeah, um, so there's certain things that are going to make your skin more sensitive, because you I don't have you noticed that your skin is more sensitive? Um, I'm broken out, you are. Well, that's see, that's hormones in this area too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so that makes sense, but that hasn't been happening, happening like consistently, oh, okay, so yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, so not nothing like is really like you haven't noticed, like all of a sudden you'll just get like a rash or something. No, okay, no, no, not yet. Well, apparently microdermabrasion could cause that irritation and breakouts. Microdermabrasion I noticed that if someone's prone to getting like cystic acne or hormonal acne, I'm very cautious about doing it because it will bring it out and then I'm responsible, so I don't like that I did that with my niece, hannah, and she looked great, and then all of a sudden all this stuff started coming out.
Speaker 1:so I'm now I'm like really cautious, like if you have that what she doesn't talk to anymore.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay we'll talk about it later, that's fine yeah, um well, she did talk to me.
Speaker 1:She's just unrecognizable now, so you didn't know it was her oh okay, this is so funny, is so funny, don't laugh at that and it can lead to scarring, apparently because your skin is just so much more sensitive during the nine months that you are pregnant. Retinoids, which is vitamin A, products that are made of something called teratogen Teragon no, it's not teragon. It's meaning that they cause developmental problems in the body. So those could, oh, these are terrible. I don't even want to say these in front of you, but cranial facial problems, heart nervous system abnormalities.
Speaker 2:Wait till she leaves the room and then say it.
Speaker 3:I know, I know, well my baby's like kind of he's pretty cooked.
Speaker 1:So we've had a little look at it that's hilarious, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Like so hopefully yeah you know, you don't know till you know, but he's got. He's got all the main things that he needs and knock on wood everything you know, yeah, now he's just waiting for the glaze yeah, he's just getting fatter now oh yeah, he's gonna be really yeah.
Speaker 3:So it's just he's, he's gonna get a little longer and like fatter wow, but he's, he's viable baby, oh I love that he's viable baby he's viable, but yeah, no. It's like a lot of this stuff too is hard because, like, I think it is more dangerous maybe and I might be, you know, I'm not a doctor but like when you're like first pregnant.
Speaker 1:So if you don't know that you're pregnant at first, you know because the baby's so small and like still developing. I have a. I have an answer for that. I think that I've been told by um several pregnant women that maybe are not doctors also, but like the but your body by design doesn't accept a lot of that stuff, um, because the, the, it's still kind of like not okay, like at least right at first, at least for like the first month, because it's not like super attached to like your, I don't know oh yeah, because it's still.
Speaker 1:That makes sense yeah, so you're pregnant, but like it's not feeding off of you yet yes. So yes, it does starts to do that at a certain point otherwise everybody would have had fetal alcohol syndrome right in the whole world.
Speaker 3:I know yeah because that's like how a lot of babies get made.
Speaker 1:Exactly yeah, or crack babies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly. Oh man, I haven't done that in a long time.
Speaker 1:Had a crack, baby yeah. They're like pretty resilient babies, you know you can kind of like yeah, they're, they're bouncy, I've heard too and like, yeah, I mean. I guess, they're made to survive.
Speaker 3:Yes, totally.
Speaker 1:That's so crazy. Yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy. I keep saying that, but it's just so wild and I can't stop staring at your um, it's so no, no, no, I love it.
Speaker 1:It's hypnotic it's relaxing, um, so yeah, so if you're already on retinoids retin-a especially, that's like a synthetic form of vitamin a um, definitely get off of it. Chemical peels, um, are pretty bad too, and usually they use it for acne, but they are really. When your skin's hormonal too, it will act more sensitive, and so if you're putting something on there like that, you're likely to get it. It can even burn more.
Speaker 3:You know what I?
Speaker 1:mean.
Speaker 3:I don't do it. I've never done any of this stuff anyway because I can't afford it, but I'm excited to Like. What should I try after I'm done? Like and I could do it.
Speaker 1:Oh, I mean I really like.
Speaker 3:I like what you do the best.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we just yeah, we don't do a ton of product. Yeah, I just massage your face and lift it back up and get into your jaw, yeah, yeah. So yeah, I mean we could do like a little baby pe, I think like a med spa. You have to do that because you have to take your blood out. We did a thing on that and like spin it in a centrifuge and then put it back on your face and it's a lot.
Speaker 1:It's a lot, yeah, and it costs a lot too well yeah yeah, yeah like thousands of dollars, and then they want you to do it in what do you call it? In a series of them.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:But yeah, you wouldn't be able to do vampire facial right now?
Speaker 3:probably no no, no, and I don't, I don't. You have no desire I have no desire, I have no money, I don't know.
Speaker 1:All the things that you need. No, I got money.
Speaker 3:I'm okay, no, no, but you know what I mean. It's like I, it's, it's always like well, it's just so expensive and I'm scared of it anyway.
Speaker 1:So I know, me too, I'm scared of the lasers. Yeah, yeah, I prefer I like to wait until everything's falling apart before I start. Really like kicking it, kick it up a notch, you know I just started doing more and more facial exercises because, you know, I just feel like I'm getting to that age where I probably should start, where I could have done a lot more, a lot earlier.
Speaker 3:But you know, I massage my oh, thank you and you do it like I felt like in January. I was on a kick where I was doing it like for a long time every day because it's silly and it did work, and then I'm never gonna do that again why, because I'm not oh, you're never gonna do like you're like maybe I will again, but but it's like hard to be consistent, consistent about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah, I thought you meant you're never going to massage your face again.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, I would love to. It feels good, but with that consistency like it's hard to do on yourself too.
Speaker 1:It gets boring, and yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3:And it's like I can do it anytime, then you never do it, and then you don't do it, or like there's a couple that I just like do sometimes, like I like to like pull up my eye.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a good one yeah, I like to do this one like this and this one.
Speaker 2:I like this one oh to open the sinuses.
Speaker 1:Open the sinuses.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that one feels really good. The OS one I like, the one that you do on me, where you're like bounce my cheeks up, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I make like a clapping sound. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:It's so silly. I'm like just like vibrating your face back. Sounds like something's happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I think something's happening, all right, so let's see.
Speaker 1:So yeah, just because the FDA doesn't know about it doesn't mean it's safe. Yeah, we're going over benzoyl peroxide, let's see. Tazerac is another one. Accutane obviously is so bad.
Speaker 3:I mean, even if you're not pregnant. They check your liver constantly with Accutane and they make you go on birth control, if you're like, if you take. Accutane. I don't think you're even allowed to take Accutane if you don't. That makes sense, that's that bad the birth.
Speaker 1:And if it's doing that, alex is saying, yeah, you did that. Oh, my God, so you weren't. Obviously you took some pregnancy tests. Yeah, oh, you were the bet you were the agutain baby.
Speaker 2:Uh aluminum chloride. I'm not sure what they put that in. Maybe uh talc isn't?
Speaker 1:chloride. That's the one that's in um deodorants. Yeah, yeah, yeah, or yeah, it's like, uh, it's like sulfate, I don't remember I never use deodorant, usually anyway, but I would use like some perfume.
Speaker 3:But I do say I will say I'm, I smell weird now you do, I smell worse and different yeah, like my bio smells different and worse, and that's confirmed by people who have smelled me before I was gonna say maybe it's just your sense. No, no, no, my friend. Do you know chad damiani?
Speaker 3:I don't know, he's a friend he's like a friend I perform with and he was like I've smelled you before and it smells kind of like womanly, but now you smell like a teenager. You know like you smell like a teenager. You know Like you smell like a teenage boy, you know Teenage boy.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's specific.
Speaker 3:He's like it's more around, I think I smell like soup.
Speaker 1:Okay, I get the soup. I have a soup smell, but you have a boy so maybe that's why.
Speaker 3:Maybe so yeah, we don't know. Yeah, I'll have to smell my sister. I guess she's pregnant with a girl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my uncle always smelled of lipton soup when I growing up. Yeah, he always smelled like some sort of like a bagged, like you know the kind you put in the thing this is his whole body, or just his armpits? I just wouldn't even walk in the room like so. I think it was just probably his armpits. But yeah, it was very, very lipton-y yeah, I know that smell.
Speaker 1:I know it's spicy and soupy yeah, sometimes you smell like cheeseburgers sometimes I smell like cheeseburgers.
Speaker 3:Sometimes only one will smell like oh yeah, you get that too, or one is like smelling and the other one's yeah, I don't know what that is but normally I was like, I've not been like a smelly person, but it's just. It's definitely different now yeah and if I start to smell, it's usually warning that I'm like like having anxiety or something like it's fierce oh, it's warning you, that's true, and it's to like protect the baby yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't had that since I'm well.
Speaker 1:I haven't had that, this anxiety smell, since I've been pregnant yeah which is good, but I you know what I mean, like I've had it before in my life flop sweat when, when I first started doing comedy and you may have experienced this too it stains your shirt in a way that, like you, can't get the smell out because it's like an adrenaline sort of sweat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's totally different and it's like oh yeah, I bombed in this shirt.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right. So chemical sun trees. We talked about Tetracycline. They prescribe for acne a lot of times and dihox shit.
Speaker 2:Dihydroxyacetone. Um, I don't know what that is. You said it better in rehearsals. But I'm just saying it's dihydroxyacetone, yeah, yeah so spa treatments you wanted.
Speaker 1:We were talking about lying down. I think at a certain point they don't want you to lie down. I don don't know if it has to do with your organs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like my, like yoga. You know I go to a yoga class and she said it's okay to lie on your back if you like. At least put a hand on you as long as you're like tilted a little bit.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Like, if you shove a pillow in my leg, it's not, it's a regular pillow, it's not fancy. Well, I just meant because your belly yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I get it. I get it, but yeah, no, that's another one, that's another yeah I get it um yeah, so I'm just like side sleeping, but yeah, I can feel like it's uncomfortable because it feels like a weight is like crushing on like on your on my like pelvis and my it just feels kind of weird.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's telling you, don't do that probably yeah, yeah, so cool.
Speaker 1:Um, let's see what else, uh, and let's see, oh, wait a minute, this is the most important ingredients. It says again a retinoid, salicylic acid. Regarding retinoids Dylan B Alston.
Speaker 3:Oh that guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that guy I know A board-certified dermatologist says that this is a family of medications that are often seen in anti-aging creams or serums, and they're considered something called Category X. Oh dang.
Speaker 2:So that means they're well known. Did you know category x used to be category twitter and now they've. I'm glad you got the updated version, though.
Speaker 1:Okay, just want to make sure um, yeah, I got the updated version. Yeah, this means that they're well known to cause birth defects. So if there's like a full-on category about it yeah, and they're talking about it then that means like it's serious biz totally.
Speaker 3:Do you ever use that? There's like some app that I don't have room for on my phone. I keep anyway, but it'll like give the great like you can check any product we've put it, yeah, we've talked about it, and I don't have the apps.
Speaker 2:I probably will, but yeah, I've, I've we talked about a website that you had gone to as well four or five different ones, but do you have it?
Speaker 3:I've looked at it before but I but I forget the name of it. I know it's terrible. It does exist. I'll put it in the description. It like breeds them.
Speaker 1:So you have to subscribe to the podcast. Okay, okay, so I get my followers, the guests.
Speaker 3:What are your feelings on retinoids outside of pregnancy? Like yes, definitely.
Speaker 2:If it's a natural vitamin a and some retinols are pretty good yeah, I'm fine with it if it's retin um.
Speaker 1:Did I say retin a just now? Yes, I think so.
Speaker 2:Retinol and a vitamin a is okay, and the more natural the better.
Speaker 1:okay, uh, the synthetic form of vitamin a, retin-a, and I know tons of people use it for wrinkles. They use it, um, like you know, to do it before they get wrinkles. Uh like proactively, not proactive, I guess why I didn't want to say that, um, cause that's benzoyl peroxide, but, um, I think it thins your skin honestly. Yeah, I think it. The people I've worked on I can always tell that their skin feels real kind of slimy and kind of like mushy like is that what is tretinoin?
Speaker 3:like that's what that is, that's what that is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, I think it has like four different names okay, and then, like the teen, one has another name for it hard to.
Speaker 3:I tried that one for a while and I I just was so flaky and I just didn't feel like doing yes, and it's going into your blood.
Speaker 1:Okay, this is a perfect example. You, perfect example. You put retin-A. I'm sorry to cut you off, no no, you're good Okay.
Speaker 1:Um, when I was in beauty school, my friend, uh Jen, she uh was used. She had like I think she had pimples like on her chin, right. So she used her mom's retin-A and she used it like maybe once or twice. So then she waxed her own eyebrows and that's why they ask you if you're on retin-a, because she didn't put it on her eyebrows. Yeah, she put it here, but it goes into your bloodstream and so she what they do, it's called lifting, yeah, right, and you know what that is like, where they just like too much skin comes off yeah so just she had like purple scabs yeah so that's how you know it's getting in your bloodstream.
Speaker 3:It's happy yeah.
Speaker 1:Even just from putting it on a little bit and yeah, and I did. I tried it one time and it was super flaky and red it was like this is not worth it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't have the, because people, some people swear by it and they say, no, it like once. Don't need to go through that and the porcelain to me, I mean some people.
Speaker 1:It works better for others, but I really feel like it thins your skin more than it does. Um, make it thicker? Yeah, because we want to stimulate the collagen and elastin and make you know, thicker dermis. Uh, as you get, as you get rid of the epidermis yes, so well, they do say in pregnancy that collagen.
Speaker 3:It's good to take collagen supplements, which is also good for your skin.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, so I've been doing that. Which kind of collagen are you taking?
Speaker 3:I am taking like it's like a pregnancy brand called Needed, because that's where I get my other vitamin and it's like a scoop.
Speaker 1:Like a beef collagen, bovine collagen, bovine collagen, yeah, okay, cool and stuff. But oh yeah, they must. Yeah, to check it out anyway, all right, um, let's see what else. Um, retinoids, some suggested some, some are okay. I guess it's sort of back and forth, like some say they're okay, something, I would just say, just don't when it comes to that kind of stuff. Um, let's see. Topical, this is kind of the same thing, kind of over and over again. I think there was one other thing maybe I wanted to talk about facial treatments. Um, okay, so this. Okay, so we get to the what is okay to do during a pregnancy. So, deep cleansing facials obviously you're just basic facials where you're steaming the face and exfoliating a mask, moisture, moisturizing, maybe some extractions can I ask you is there any facial massages you can't do or any muscles in the face you can't?
Speaker 1:typically Not faces, but there's an area right here on either side of your neck that you're not supposed to press for a long time. It's a pressure point right here.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:So I think you have to be holding it for quite a while, but I think it's like that spot near your feet.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's like a when your feet you know where if you do it and it will cause.
Speaker 1:Where is it like in the kind of neck of the little it's like right on either side of your neck where this like bone is, and then you just push straight down, okay you can actually kind of feel it yeah, oh, okay, yeah, I'll do it to you before um, but not for too long.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, exactly, I'll just point to it.
Speaker 1:Yeah I'll do it to you for five minutes, and that's all.
Speaker 2:It's so funny, it's like, but not for too long. Well, how much specifically? Well, just enough, yeah, but okay, but not too long.
Speaker 1:Okay, good yeah.
Speaker 2:Like it says on the on the package, not too long.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, it says on the package of acupressure, on the package of your. That's another good one. Um, oxygen facials are good. Um, I guess it can increase the circulation and plump up your skin and stuff like that. Uh, any kind of hydrating facial, it's anything that's going to relax you. I've noticed that any kind of pregnant, any kind of pregnant, any pregnant woman that I've seen, they usually are just so like thrilled to be touched. Right, why is that? Are people afraid to touch you now?
Speaker 3:I, I like a massage anyway, but I, you're, it's like your body's changing so much and it's like you get weird, like tension sometimes, just because everything's oh, that's true everything's adjusting, you know so you're holding weight in different places.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, uh, and that was it. Yeah, yeah, that was. That was the only good news of the whole of all my notes is those are the few things that you can do. And then you can do facial massage, like I said.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but what's that tiny thing written over there? Oh, and you can also bring life into this world, all right? That's weird.
Speaker 1:That's the only positive thing.
Speaker 2:That, that's the smallest thing. That's it, tiny, tiny writing yeah, so it's pretty wild. Yeah, it's cool. Okay. So I have a question for you. Yeah, um, now that we've gotten to the part of the skincare and whatnot, are people able to find you on social media? In a certain area, I like to be really ridiculous with the questions yeah, yeah yeah, I'm um, I'm Instagram.
Speaker 3:It's my name Courtney Peroso, and that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1:P-A-U-R-O-S-O. Yes, okay, cool. And then the normal spelling of Courtney yes, all right, cool.
Speaker 2:You'll put your name at the bottom and you know like your favorite foods and, if you like, sparkling water or not?
Speaker 1:That's going to change, probably in about a month and a half wait what the?
Speaker 3:your food tastes oh yeah, probably I don't know. I've been eating kind of all the you're back to normal now, yeah I've just been like really eating a lot of cookies the past week, but they've been around, you know.
Speaker 3:but I've also heard that you kind of start to eat more sugar, like crave sugar, later in your pregnancy because Cause like they need that fat, right, you just need the calories and like you're on the brain, but maybe that's just an excuse where I'm like I'm going to have another cookie because this baby I need him to have a big brain.
Speaker 2:I think. I mean, it seems like the most important time to listen to your body would be like when you're pregnant.
Speaker 3:So if you need cookies and you want cookies it's not you, it's what's good for you and your body and your baby, and so totally you got it. You know. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean I'm trying to, like you know, do a good job.
Speaker 2:But you know, like, you know, I'm trying to like, I'm trying to do a good job, but uh because you know you're not supposed to like still eat like really healthy you know, but it's like sometimes it does.
Speaker 3:You're right, it does. I'm like I I gotta he's telling you something yeah, exactly, you listen to your body.
Speaker 1:It's an intuition, yeah. So, yeah, I mean it seems like that's probably the one you're the most intuitive is when you're pregnant. I mean, you can smell more than any time. Yeah, it was when you're pregnant, right?
Speaker 3:yeah, yeah, your sense of smell gets pretty heightened. It was more noticeable for me like early on. Um, yeah, you get like superpowers fascinating. Yeah, it's so cool yeah, and you have to pee all the time that's fun and it's like I walk really slow to get to the bathroom, you mean?
Speaker 1:uh, just in general oh, that's a separate issue, okay, so long now, you know and uh, and I have to pee all the time yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, I will say no yeah, that's so cool, though it's like you, like you smell stuff and I'm just thinking like so that means maybe you're hyper sensitive to stuff that you're not supposed to be around? Right stuff that's not good for you or your body and then if you have to pee, it's like your body just filtering, constant filtration system. Yeah, the human body is amazing, and every time I fill it with cheap drugs, I think what am I doing?
Speaker 1:how does he do it? But it's.
Speaker 2:It's just incredible, it's so cool.
