Ep 9 - Maximalist Things We Can't Be Bothered With
Episode Summary:
Maximalism—it’s a vibe, but also kind of a headache. In this episode, we dive into the love-hate relationship with doing the most—when we embrace it, when it overwhelms us, and when we’re just going through the motions because, well… expectations.
We’re talking everything from over-the-top beauty routines to home decor that looks stunning but is basically useless. Do we love it? Do we regret it? The struggle is real. We also get into the pressure of throwing elaborate parties (because let’s be honest, themed events are a lot), and how holiday decorating can quickly go from festive fun to a full-time job. At what point are we doing it for ourselves, and when is it just for the ‘gram?
And of course, we couldn’t wrap up without talking weddings. Brianna spills on planning two big weddings (because one just wasn’t enough, apparently), and we break down the appeal of micro-weddings vs. full-blown extravaganzas. Spoiler: Sometimes, less really is more.
Get ready for laughs, some hard truths, and maybe a little self-reflection—because let’s face it, we’ve all been guilty of doing too much at some point.

Welcome to Maximalish Life. I'm your host, brianna, and I'm Tamika. Why don't you ever say you're the host, you're just. I'm the host, brianna, but you're just here, tamika's here too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I don't know. I'm just like why do I have to be the host? You're just, I'm the host, brianna, but you're just here, tamika's here too. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I'm just like why do I have to be the host and the host? Yeah, you know, I don't like double double.
Speaker 1:Oh, you don't like double.
Speaker 2:Doubles in and out no, I actually don't get a single. I hate when people get single doubles. What?
Speaker 1:yeah, I don't even know what that means. Yeah, I don't even know what that means Today, moving on. So we were talking about maximalist things that we just like can't even be bothered with. So I thought, what if we do a whole episode about those things?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, like you know, in the idea of like maximalist, almost like something you're like a little bit extra about maybe, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Yeah, you can't do everything, everything in your whole life can't be maximalist, it's be exhausting. Oh, I heard this thing, though I wanted to ask you okay, tell me okay, and I've been thinking about this. So I saw this thing on TikTok and this girl was asking what day of the week are you? Okay? So, like, if you think of days of the week as people or like they have personalities, which one would be you? And I was thinking about this a lot because I'm like, okay, it's hard, because it's like you almost want to say like what's your favorite? It's like not your favorite day, what day would you?
Speaker 2:be Okay. So the first thing that comes to mind for me, it would would be I would be a Saturday so I just want to do all the fun things and I just want to hang out with everyone. And you know, do the parties or go on vacations, or, and you don't want to work. No, I don't want to work. I don't do people want to work?
Speaker 1:yeah, I like it, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, I like to work. I, you know, I talked to Drew about it the other day and he was like, if you didn't work, you, you would just like be so bored yeah, but you want to do really really fun work yeah, yeah, yeah. So I mean shooting food war works for me. Yeah, I just don't want to do the worky things. Yeah, um, so I think I would be a saturday, but drew said that I am a thursday really yeah, because a thirsty thursday yeah, I love thirsty thursday.
Speaker 2:That's um he said, because the things that I want to do on Saturday like you have to do work. Yeah, he was like you always want to like drive somewhere far or you want to plan these parties that like take time. So it's like still kind of a work day, but it's like a funner work day, yeah, so I guess I'm on my Thursday.
Speaker 1:I could see that, yeah, cause you like to do bigger, like maximalist things. Like, yeah, you're throwing this party, you're like planning this vacation, and so you're like you have time to look forward to it. Like on Thursdays you're like, ooh, it's almost the weekend. Yeah, I could see, I could totally see that, but I want to be a Saturday. I mean, I would say through and through that you're a Saturday.
Speaker 2:I can't imagine that you're any other day. Yeah, good, but I do.
Speaker 1:I think what Drew said makes sense.
Speaker 2:Also Thursday's my Friday, so that also makes sense too.
Speaker 1:Either way you're a weekend? Yeah, I think I'm for sure a weekday? Yeah, I would say that too. Yeah, I mean, okay, say which day you are. I think I think I'm on Monday For sure and I'm okay with that. I think Mondays, you know, okay, I'm really good at starting projects. Okay, not so good at ending them. So I like the beginning of anything.
Speaker 2:Like the beginning of a week. It's the funnest part, the beginning of the year, the beginning of a relationship.
Speaker 1:It's just like fresh start. So I love that Gives you a little butterfly.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I also love working. I feel like the majority of my personality does revolve around work-related adjectives.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you do love to work.
Speaker 1:Also I think I can see that I could give people the Sunday scaries, like I stress people out, I'm pretty sure you do. I could be people the Sunday scaries, like I stress people out I'm pretty sure you do. I could be overwhelming at times and sometimes you know I just come, I just come into things with some like such gung-ho, even if no one's ready to match my energy, and I feel like that's what a Monday is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a little abrasive. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, I would just kidding yes. Yeah, I would say you are a Monday, just like you know you, I don't even know how to describe it in a way that I just automatically would think that you're a Monday.
Speaker 1:And, like some of my favorite things are like office supplies, spreadsheets taking classes. And those are all like Monday things to me, so maybe that's kind of like dorkorky, but I still think I'm fun no, you are fun.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, I don't know, yeah, new beginning, all that kind of stuff. I could see that that's like really, yeah, what you're about yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, you're still fun, even though you give everyone the Sunday scaries. We have these morning meetings and everyone's like what the fuck is she gonna say?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, I was get up early and just start things.
Speaker 2:5 am Monday morning. That's who you are. That's your time too. 5 am that's my favorite time of day. I want to sleep.
Speaker 1:Just a little bit. Oh my God, okay, okay. So maximalist things, we can't be bothered. What about we can't be? What about? Okay, I feel like there's so many maximalist things we can't be bothered with.
Speaker 2:That we could talk about, but what are a few things that are maximalist, that we will never stop doing? This is a struggle. Every week I have a. I have like an internal struggle with myself with these maximalist things that I do and you know my husband hates me for these things too is all of my fucking appointments oh yeah. I am so tired of getting my lashes done and my extensions done and my brows done, but I can never, ever, ever ever give that up never, but I want to well, I just don't want to be ugly, which me without extensions and lashes and everything, just not ugly, but not great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think I could go without.
Speaker 2:I just feel like the regular days of the week. They make it easier for me.
Speaker 1:Yes, the act of making the appointment, driving to the appointment, doing the appointment is so irritating, but then all the time in between the appointments it makes it worth it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Like I just have my lashes on or just don't even have to really worry about my hair too much. You know, even with my nails like sitting there for two hours, I want to die.
Speaker 1:Well, here, yeah, I mean that's. That's really maximalist, because I can't even imagine getting my nails on for two hours, but you always do these really elaborate designs yeah and they're, but then they're really cool and it's fun and it's kind of like an extension of your outfit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'm tired of doing it, but I'm gonna keep doing it just because but, every week. My husband says on Friday like what appointments do you have tomorrow?
Speaker 1:yep, gotta schedule my maintenance yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm tired of it, though I don't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 1:I know we have to. Yeah, I wish they could just come to my house and do all the appointments while I'm sleeping yeah, that would be better.
Speaker 2:I mean, I do fall asleep during my lashes, probably 90% of the time oh, yeah, for sure, yeah, I mean, I'm just like you know, close my eyes.
Speaker 1:I mean I'll fall asleep anytime I have my eyes closed. I'll fall asleep at the dentist.
Speaker 2:Yeah, drew says once I stop moving, I just go to sleep. Every time he always goes, you just fall right asleep. Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1:I know I think like, oh, I wish like someone could just do my hair, like while I'm working. But really like I just bring my laptop yeah, it's like get stuff done, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be great. Multitask, yeah, but I think the nails is the worst, and the lashes, because either I don't have my hands, you can't do it, I don't have my eyes.
Speaker 2:I think the lashes are definitely the worst hands, like at least you have one hand, yeah, in between, yeah, you can like move things around, but the lash thing it's like it needs to be like a spa day for me, like I guess I need to think of it like that every three weeks I get to like do a little meditation and then go to sleep for an hour. That's what I need to think about it you know my lash lady.
Speaker 1:She used to not talk that much during their appointment, so then I would bring my airpods and be like, okay, I'm gonna listen to any like audiobook, podcast, whatever. And then I swear every time I put my airpods in.
Speaker 2:Then she's like asking me questions I thought about doing that too, like I just like same, like reading a book or listening to a podcast or whatever. But I swear, like something happens with my headphone every fucking time, like I put it in and then it like disconnects or something oh, just like something weird.
Speaker 1:So then you can't open your eyes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, your eyes are closed. So what are you gonna do? Sorry?
Speaker 1:yeah, go yourself yep, all right, maximum things that we can't be bothered with. What?
Speaker 2:do you?
Speaker 1:got a lot okay okay furniture that you can't sit on because it's too aesthetic yeah, you know, I was just catherine posted, catherine from antlers and our armchairs.
Speaker 2:Uh, she posted this cute little little staging that she just did and I was like, oh my God, I fucking love that couch. And she was like yeah, I know she was like, but you know you can't like it's not for like, but. I can't have it in my house Right Like I don't have a nice couch, but because I have to have this huge sectional and it has to be comfortable and all that stuff.
Speaker 1:Because man and you have a lot of people, like a lot of people in and out of your house all the time, parties all the time. There's kids, there's dogs. Like you can't have, just like this white pristine.
Speaker 2:Little swivel like just like three seats. No yeah, it just can't work. For me it doesn't work.
Speaker 1:Also the other thing I can't do wall galleries.
Speaker 2:Also the other thing I can't do wall galleries. I love a wall gallery, but I can't do it.
Speaker 1:I can't do it. I can't put one up. I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2:I also would want to switch all the photos all the time. I think too, because you're so particular about it a lot of times, a wall gallery you've just got to just leave it you can't, yeah, you can't.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm just like oh my God, I love it. Well, maybe I should. Just, I just need to hire someone. Maybe Catherine can help me with my wall gallery. Yeah, I like them, but, man, I just can't do it. It's a lot of work, it's a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. So I love it, I love the concept of it, I love it. I don't want to do it mm-hmm, like I do weird thing. Oh, I think I talked about this before. I will choose like one thing that's hard for the party. Yeah, the party. Yeah, like one thing.
Speaker 2:Like we had my niece's birthday party at the rock and jump place or whatever it's called. It's called sky zone. Now I think, yes, anyways. Um, so, like you can't bring anything, right, you have their pizza. You could bring a cake. So I ordered a cake or I think I got cupcakes. But the one thing that I did do was I made these little clear boxes. Her theme, I can't remember, it was some anime theme and then I put a little box and then I put like real, like little grass moss inside of these little clear boxes and then I put a little pot of like a succulent with all these mushrooms all around it. And it took me. I had to do 20 of them. So I mean, yeah, it took me like an hour or two to do that, but that was just the one, the only thing that I had to do.
Speaker 1:And so, yeah, I don't want to do everything else, I'm too tired. Well, and I guess I mean too, like when it's super elaborate, like we're not running a petting zoo for your party OK, we're not. I mean I like it, uh-uh. Yeah, I feel like it's so fucking ridiculous. Ok, I feel like let's do elaborate stuff for our birthday parties. Because here's the thing I think when people do this, they're really just doing it for the parents. Like I don't think the kids really give a shit. Like they just want to eat cake, hang out with their friends, whatever, like they don't care about these like little cute aesthetic gift bags that we got yeah, they don't care about the gear.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they don't care about that, but I think they care about the petting zoo. Well, maybe I think that that is what they care about them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that they don't, they care about Maybe the petting zoo yeah.
Speaker 2:I think that they don't care about the balloon arch and they don't care about the letters matching the balloon arch and the gift bags, but I think they care about what's in the gift and in the gift bags and the petting zoo though. And I think what happens is you have your first kid especially if it's your first kid and you just kind of like, oh, I'll just look on Pinterest, and then you just especially when it's your first birthday it gets out of control.
Speaker 2:And then you realize later because I feel like this is what I did, I would go out of control. And then I was like this is really exhausting, I can't do this. And I think you have to realize like I just can't do this anymore. Yeah, unless you have a lot of money and then you can just hire out for everything yeah, for Bentley's first.
Speaker 1:I, I guess too, especially when they're younger, like really little kids, that's when it's so ridiculous. Yeah, when they're one, what? Why are you even?
Speaker 2:doing this. Yeah, they can't even get on the jumpy house, but it's for the other little kids yeah, I mean for Bentley's first birthday, we I tried to do this whole airplane thing.
Speaker 1:We got all these little miniature airplanes. We're hanging them from the ceiling, doing all this crazy shit Like why, why? And then I got this really cool cake and then he took one bite and started crying. We couldn't even get a good photo. But I think in general for parties, I think, like you said, it's a good idea to pick one thing Either a photo op area or the party favors or something that you can kind of maximize that one thing Maximize.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know it's, it's, it's tricking me too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think we're going to say that. I think that makes more sense for us to maximize it. Yeah, maximalize it, um, and then the rest of the time like it doesn't. The whole party does not need to be a photo worthy, like Instagram worthy party.
Speaker 1:It's just like a just I think that's so overrated just have a fun laid-back event, the people who you want to yeah there is more important and like the interactions that you're having, I agree, I agree, okay, I, I know for sure, okay, I know for a fact One person we know will definitely disagree with this one. Okay, go, pet costumes. The Christian Kristen looking at you. You know. Here's the thing I.
Speaker 2:Yeah, do I think they're ridiculous, sure. Do I think they're cute as fuck? Sure, what I put my I was in my cat. No, but if one of the kids brought it home and they put Lola in it, I would think it's so Fucking cute but it's just not.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't do it. I'm not going to waste my money on a pet Costume that my pet doesn't want to wear.
Speaker 2:Well, that's the thing too, I mean. So Lola got a groom the other day and she just had the cutest little valentines Bow, but I mean that shit will be gone In like three days she just like, fucking takes it off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, little bitch on the topic of pets, pet instagram accounts. I'm not making a time for my own instagram account. Now I have to do lola's too sorry, lola, you're not gonna be famous, but some dogs are better like.
Speaker 2:I mean, they like look at the camera and it's easier, so you're supposed to.
Speaker 1:Lola is fucking going crazy like she she's no sit still, she's not gonna do that. Oh okay, I saw this. You like this seven layer bed trend. It has so many pills, so many blankets, you can't find the mattress. I'm not, I can't, I don't. I hardly even make my bed. I try really hard to like at least throw the cover back, cuz I'm a pretty tidy sleeper yeah, I'm not messy when I sleep. My whole bed isn't crazy. Plus, you know it's only one side of the bed being used.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I just kind of pull the blanket back, get in, so when I get out I just put it back. But I don't even really like put my pillows back. Exactly. But I cannot have too much stuff because so ridiculous again yeah.
Speaker 2:So the one thing about me, I think I just kind of go crazy in other aspects of my life. But, man, my room, I would say, is ghetto, it is just there's no aesthetic to it. I just, you know, drew has this whole thing. We're like we're gonna redo it, we're gonna redo the bedroom and stuff, but until then he just like doesn't really want me to like do anything else. So it is very just what we use it for, and so there is nothing.
Speaker 2:There's just like like I don't have like a nice comforter on there. It's a cut, like it's comfortable, it's what's comfortable, you know, and nothing like matches. I mean we just have like I think it's black and white and cream and stuff. But so like I don't yeah, I want it to be cute and sometimes like I go through things and I'm like I really want to like redo the bedroom a little bit, but also like I don't ever want to fucking be in there. So like I don't, I don't, I wouldn't appreciate it, because the times that I am in there, all the pillows are going to be on the floor, you know what I'm saying, like I'm not spending.
Speaker 2:I literally don't spend any time in my bedroom cause I there's nothing I need to do in there. There's literally nothing I need to do in that room. And so, yeah, I mean I don't make the bed in the morning because you're still in the bed when I get out of bed. And so, really, though, drew makes the bed when we go to bed. He makes a bed like nicely, and stuff, and then gets in the bed which I bring me.
Speaker 2:The point, which is my thing, what I can't be bothered with, and the reason why I don't like want to be in the room or anything, is because I don't want to fucking clean it I don't be bothered with, and the reason why I don't like want to be in the room or anything is because I don't want to fucking clean it. I don't want to put my clothes away, I don't want to clean anything. That's my thing is like I can't be bothered cleaning shit. Yeah, I mean I don't want it to be dirty. So I mean I have a cleaning lady that comes in and the kids do all that kind of stuff. So, like I just I don't want to clean, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 2:I know I can't be bothered with that stuff. Cleaning is tough.
Speaker 1:I did. I have tried multiple cleaning ladies, but I'm I think I'm like too particular about it and it's like then, but I also feel like I don't want to offend them by being like can you do it like?
Speaker 2:this. I mean, I just don't mind yeah.
Speaker 1:Which I mean it like this. I mean I like mine, yeah, which I mean I guess you should, because it's like, of course, everyone likes their house cleaned differently, especially when you're trying them. Yeah, I know I have one girl. I tried her out a month ago. She did a decent like, pretty good job like, and so I was like, okay, maybe I'll try again, but I think what I'm gonna spend my money on which this is a maximalist thing that I think I'm gonna try. Okay, I think, instead of having a house cleaner because I don't really mind cleaning my house I'm going to use that money towards a laundry service. Ooh, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, there's a laundry service in town. You just throw all your dirty clothes in a bag, put them on your porch and then you schedule and they just come pick it up, clean them, fold them, put them back, put them back, put them back on your porch.
Speaker 2:Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what I'm gonna do because laundry is my least favorite.
Speaker 2:Yeah see, the laundry is fine for me. I mean, it takes me a week or so to like fold it because Drew washes it, but I rather not clean a toilet it.
Speaker 1:Well, it takes me a week to get it from the washer to the dryer yeah that's what happens. And then after the dryer it goes on my bed and then I have a mountain for another week until it's like, okay, can you get your life together?
Speaker 2:that's also why I'm not gonna have a seven layer bed, right that is why I don't want to be in my room, I don't want to put my clothes away. So sometimes there's a little pile and then I hide it on my side of the bed so drew doesn't see it, because drew's really clean like he. Like last night he was telling me he he was like honey, I see you have these little piles in your room right now. And I go, I know those are the piles for my clothes, for my podcast. And he was like, yeah, but why isn't it neatly folded in your bag instead of just like a pile here and a pile here and a pile here, cause those are your three outfits? And I go, cause that's not how my brain works, and I know that my brain is disorganized and messy and like gives me anxiety, but I just can't get out of that. And they say that that's trauma, like you treat yourself that way because that's how you deserve all that bullshit.
Speaker 1:Well, and they also say sometimes, if you go to someone's house or like their bedroom or whatever, like, whatever, like intimate space is theirs, it is a reflection of their mind. Yeah, yeah, that's how it's fucking chaotic up here. That's why when I went, I was dating this guy last summer was it last summer or the summer? Before god, I don't remember which one.
Speaker 1:Okay start to describe yeah, he lived in tahoe, okay, yeah, okay, and you know he's so nice and all this stuff. I mean not like everything was, you know, otherwise perfect, but still like he was a pretty, like great guy. And then, until I went to his house, and it was chaos. I'm like you just live here by yourself. It's not even like you have kids to. I mean, he has kids, but like yeah, they're all the time yeah they're also older yeah and I'm like why do you still have moving boxes that are half unpacked?
Speaker 1:you've lived here for a year and a half. Yeah, like I can't be. I can't be bothered with that. Yeah, that's something.
Speaker 2:I think that I compartmentalize like certain things. So there's like certain things that I have to be like super organized and like this is how it needs to be, and then other things. It just seems like because I spend so much time doing this one thing, I cannot even focus on like organizing or doing this other thing, which yeah it's hard for me.
Speaker 2:I think I don't. I don't have enough of a balance with that, but I can't figure it out. I'm 40, yeah, it's never gonna happen. And poor drew, he just deals with it. Man, I feel really bad for him. And it's not that I'm dirty, it's just messy. It's it's just too messy.
Speaker 1:And he gets so mad yeah, there's a difference right between dirty and messy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want anything dirty, I would fucking kill myself Messy. Organized chaos, I think, because I know exactly where that red shirt is Like it's under three piles of this and this and this To the right of the toilet. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The toilet that you're not going to be. You're haven't cleaned a toilet in 15 years, jesus? No, that's, that's not true we've only lived in our house for 13 this year, so probably at least 10. At least 10 years. I will not clean a fucking toilet. Can't pay me to do it. Yeah, and just a brat. That's a little bratty, but whatever well yeah, everyone has their things that's why I had kids, so they can clean the damn toilet.
Speaker 1:You know what is another thing that I know that you can't be bothered with hmm, spelling don't bother me with it, because here's the thing.
Speaker 2:This is what happens half the time. I'm not paying attention I have. It would be great if voice to text actually worked well, yeah it doesn't like if I could just like say whatever I wanted and it really worked. I mean, that's why they have the voice memos. But it's just like sometimes you're in places you can't listen to voice memos, so you can't get it out quick enough, and like.
Speaker 2:So it's like I really wish voice to text would work properly so that I didn't have to do this, because a lot of times I'm texting, texting, texting, but I'm also doing something else, yeah, so then I don't like proofread my texts every time because I'm like talking to this person or I'm like I got to put it, I got to make such a quick text that I got to do something else, that I it's just everything's jumbled. Yeah, that's what my brain looks like. It's just like a jumbled mess up here.
Speaker 1:So you know what's my favorite thing is when I go to send a voice memo and then it for some reason I'm talking, but in my head I'm doing talk to text, and so I'm doing a voice memo and they're listening to it and I go and I'm like and then unload the dishwasher comma. No, that's great, I love it, I love it. You know, I haven't heard that yet.
Speaker 2:I haven't heard that. I do it all the fucking time yeah, whatever sorry yeah.
Speaker 2:So spelling is always like I just don't even think, like I, yeah, I don't. I don't want to think about it same thing with like okay, so there's this thing. It's so weird I, when someone goes, oh, what's you know, 38 times 64 or something in my head, I literally don't even think about it. Someone better fucking answer it's not gonna be me, we're gonna. Oh, I don't even think. I don't even think I'm like that. Those people, I god, I can't remember what the word is, but you know how those people they, if they close their eyes and you say, like, picture apple, they either cannot picture the apple, they can picture the outline, they can picture it in black and white, whatever. When you do math like that, literally it's black that is so.
Speaker 1:I don't even think I'm total opposite.
Speaker 2:If we're in a group and someone asks a math question.
Speaker 1:I am like I want to answer the fastest, like I'm like like let me say it so fast it's like no, I even asked the question. I just, I just, and it doesn't even matter, because I'm like, okay, I'm like decent at math, I'm not like a fucking mathematician but I'm just competitive.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I'm like, I want to, I want to say it first I think too.
Speaker 2:I never had to answer. I mean, drew just always knew the answer right away, and so I didn't. I just rely on that. He just he's the smart one he's the smart one, that's okay. You could just be the fun one yeah, I'm the creative one, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, math, spelling, texting, I don't want to do any of those things. Well, apparently, ma'am. Okay, I just want to point any of those things well, apparently, ma'am.
Speaker 1:Okay, I just want to point out all the things on your list are not maximalist.
Speaker 2:I know those are regular things, no, some people are really good at those things and it maximizes their life here, like minimalists. Okay. So my brother is a minimalist. Which brother? Well, they both loves. Well, they both are, yeah, they both are. But Christian is really okay and he loves to clean. It makes his life better. He just he loves it so much and I'm always so. That's his maximalist thing, I think is cleaning.
Speaker 2:And I am like Christian can you do this for me, right? And he lived in my house. And I am like Krisha can you do this for me, right? And he lived in my house and he would like organize our garage and he would clean. He would just be getting up in the morning. He's like he just gets up, he works out, he cleans and that's how he like to live his life, and so I do think that those things are like maximalist things for some people, and it seems like I don't want to do that things for some people and it seems like I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1:It seems like beyond my reach. Yeah, I think like if I'm doing something like cleaning or whatever it's like, I will because I do enjoy cleaning, but I mean it's not my favorite thing, it's not like I'd rather clean instead of doing something else.
Speaker 1:But I try to make it more maximalist by like put on a good playlist or I put on a podcast, or then like even instead of just doing like bare minimum, like cleaning stuff. Yeah, I'll try to do. I will try to look up like little hacks or like the little you know. Influencers post all these things and it's like make sure trash cans always smell good by doing this with essential oils yeah, all right fuck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm gonna do that, and so I will try to do stuff like that and make my cleaning experience a little bit more maximalist. But you know, you said the word minimalist, mm-hmm, and I wanted to circle back. Okay, because I feel like minimalism was, and maybe still is, such a like trendy thing.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's still yeah, it's still very, and a lot of people and there is parts of me that wants to do that in different ways in my life, I think- maybe Like organizing. I wish that I could just like not have all the shit I have and be a minimalist like crafter.
Speaker 1:That's what I want to be, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think that that is a thing though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think that that is a thing, though. Yeah, I just like minimalism doesn't work for me in certain aspects, like even just clothing, like I can't be a beige girl, yeah, I can't have a capsule wardrobe. I tried, I tried to do things and I tried to make this capsule wardrobe and have like everything was kind of neutral and it could all mix and match, which I love that idea for so many reasons. But it's just not me, but don't you?
Speaker 2:think that you do have a capsule wardrobe in a sense that you have a capsule wardrobe that that's like your staple stuff that you like constantly use. But, like the shirt I'm wearing, I wear this a lot, yeah, and I feel like I put it under, over or in different ways. So it's like I do have a capsule wardrobe in a sense that, like, I have these things that I always go to, like these basics, and then I have to put my maximalist stuff on top of it yeah Well and I guess.
Speaker 1:here's the thing Anything could be a capsule wardrobe, as long as it's like all things that can mix and match. I guess that's the main idea of capsule, but I think when I'm looking on pinterest- or I'm looking on tick tock.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, 90 of them are like neutral items because those are easier, yeah, and it's more functional for people, like people want to have. Like christian went through this he would like have a uniform. Basically he would wear the same outfit monday through friday and he's a job, yeah, and worked for him. But, like that just would make me sad, that would make me so sad and I just wouldn't want to do that and um, but I could see how, if you do those things, you could use your brain power for other things.
Speaker 2:Like if I didn't have to get up and worry about my outfit in the morning and think about, like, if I'm looking good or not looking good. Man, I would be a really good speller, I'd be a good texter and I'd probably want to clean my house too, damn.
Speaker 1:Okay. So actually that reminds me. So how you're saying, like, if you don't have to think about your outfits, you know, especially in the morning when you're getting ready, so of course, and people say, like, look at your outfit. The night before, bitch, I've been working all day and cleaning my house and making dinner and doing all this stuff. The last thing I want to think about is what I'm wearing to work tomorrow. I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2:I want to die.
Speaker 1:I'll figure it out at 5 o'clock when I wake up tomorrow morning, so well. And then a lot of times I'll pick out things, especially now that I've been really trying to make more effort with my outfits, and so I'm not just like basically wearing a uniform, or I'm not just like I'm trying to pick out these cute things but the thing is not everything is ready to wear, meaning like I pick out something and I go, oh, but I have to steam this, or like this has to be ironed, or I'm just like everything isn't ready to go.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I got this app, which I actually got this app a couple years ago.
Speaker 2:Kristen and I were I feel like I remember this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think it's called. If I remember, it's called Style Guide, I think.
Speaker 2:Let me make sure.
Speaker 1:I will, as always, link it in the show. Okay, sorry, style Book. It's called Style Book and I started using it a couple of years ago and then I stopped cause I really wasn't even wearing anything cute. That's when I was like capsule wardrobe, neutraling the whole thing. But basically you can take pictures of every single piece of clothing and shoes and accessories and then you put them into the app and it kind of does. It has like a background remover, so it's like you can place things cute like in a little outfit or whatever, and then you can like create outfits and save outfits in the app. It has a calendar so you can just like drag and drop like outfits. On certain days. You could put like multiple outfits a day, like today, for example. We have multiple things that we're doing today where we need different outfits, so I could put three outfits for today.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And so I had stopped using it for a while. I just started using it again, and so I think the way I'm going to just like maximize my outfit situation is I'm going to use my laundry service and then I'm going to have my personal assistant. I'm going to she's going to hang up all my clothes and steam everything so they're ready to go, and then I'm going to I'm going to she's going to hang up all my clothes and steam everything so they're ready to go, and then I'm going to just drag and drop all my outfits into the calendar so she can look at them and then she can grab everything and put it all together.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:And it's just ready to go each week.
Speaker 2:Yeah that, I mean that's maximalist.
Speaker 1:To the I'm like, if you do nothing else, just do my clothes. Yeah, I know, I don't even need to do anything else, just do my clothes. I know, so that's what I'm going to do. I get so tired of doing my clothes.
Speaker 1:And I will say it takes a while to set it up. So, like I've been, I deleted all my old clothes out of the app and I've been resetting it up. It did take me, I would say maybe like two hours, and what I did was I just hung a like a blank white wall in my house in my room and then I just would take each thing on the hanger, just hang it up, take a photo just on your phone yeah, just like take photos everything and just throw it all in there and it was super easy, but yeah it's a little time consuming to set up, but like it's.
Speaker 1:But then I'll make your life easier later and I'm like super excited yeah and what's cool, you can make notes on each. You click on the item and you could mark things as like at the cleaners needs to go to alterations. Like you can mark things as seasonal.
Speaker 2:It's like your style assistant.
Speaker 1:Yes, and I don't remember, I think I. Just I want to say I paid for the app one time Like this isn't something I'm paying monthly.
Speaker 2:Right, like you just bought the app originally. Yeah, I'll link it. I'll link it and I will.
Speaker 1:Maybe I'll do a little screen record showing how to use it and I'll put it on the Instagram.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's pretty cool. That's so good.
Speaker 1:That's going to be my maximalist stuff for like outfits and stuff. Yeah, yeah, um. Another thing I can't be bothered with, which Kristen's really going to think we're just attacking her on this episode. We love her, we love, we love you, kristen. Kristen, but one thing I cannot do are influencer gyms. What I mean, my influencer gyms are there's these gyms where it is for working out, but it also is for content creation, like they are just these very aesthetic gyms. You pay like a crazy monthly fee and it does include a lot of stuff yeah, it's basically going to a spa.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, I don't think the fee like isn't worth it because it does come with so much stuff. But it's like I can't pay $150 a month or whatever to go to this gym and then, but it's like everyone who goes there dresses aesthetically and they're like taking their little content and she loves that shit. And the thing is that's her maximalist thing that she loves because it does make her want to work out. Yeah, she's like I can't just go to planet fitness, like it's. I'm not excited about working out there, I'm not going to go. And so to her, because here's the thing too, that gym is 40 minutes away from her house, so she is committing to paying this monthly fee. She's driving all the way there but she's been doing it and it's keeping her and she's like excited to go and she feels more like at home with people like that. You know, because you're not, because, if you're not, someone who's like like a bodybuilder- or like just someone who even lifts a lot, or like then certain gyms or certain areas in different gyms.
Speaker 1:Like you, just don't feel that comfortable going. But, here's the thing. If I'm being totally honest, working out in general is too maximalist for me. I can't be bothered with that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know I haven't been bothered with it, but I'm going to start. That's one of the things that is on my list that I'm going back to do. I need to get back in that gym and I I kind of subscribe to the same thing as Kristen if there was a cute gym. So we're doing the class today, our workup class, we're doing a legree class, yeah, and so I already thought, like I already know I'm gonna fucking sign up or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's cute in there and if I like it and like all this stuff and like I think that that's kind of what drives me a little bit is that it's like something that I think is fun and it is cute, and some of us need that little encouragement to do this. I think one of the hardest things in life is working out is, oh yeah, moving your body in a way that is painful and that you just don't want to do, and I think it is one of the hardest things to dedicate to and like to be like committed to, and so I actually I mean, so here's the thing, the influencer thing where, like, you're just always fucking recording yourself doing these workouts, like sure, I bet that's so fucking annoying for people but it's not annoying to the people at that gym which I think is good, because it's so annoying to people at other gyms so I think, it's perfect for if you want to do yeah, but I even think they're like.
Speaker 2:I mean, don't you think that, like you just want to go to you live in wanna creek you want to go to a nice gym where they have eucalyptus towels and like all this stuff, and then you want to go to this, and then it's just all these fucking people recording themselves.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I mean, and who knows, I don't really know if they're all recording all the time, right, who knows? But that.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've seen things where, yeah, that's probably annoying to some people, especially to men. I'm sure men are, you know, influencers in the wild. They call them right. That's what we call it In the wild. Yeah, I go, drew, we're going to do influencers in the wild, okay, so you have to record me, you know.
Speaker 1:I mean, I think we would both go to that gym if it was in town.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I cannot commit to the drive. I mean, I can't pay $150 every month to do it because Kristen's going.
Speaker 1:I feel like I'd have an accountability partner. It's the drive for me. I can't commit to the drive yeah. I mean I won't If anything. You said this the other day about me. You said, if there's anything that makes something a little bit difficult for you to do, you don't want to do it.
Speaker 2:The gym's, literally in my garage and I can't go to it. I can't be bothered to go to it.
Speaker 1:We were doing so good I mean especially you were doing so good and working out you got this whole like home gym set up and then I was doing it for you know a very short time, but we were really. I was just really seeing some progress. Yeah, but I'm getting back in there I'm getting back in there.
Speaker 2:I'm going tomorrow. Oh you are. I'm going to my home gym tomorrow.
Speaker 1:Oh fun, or maybe I to run. I hate running. That's the one thing I'll never. I will never do that I do love running um, you know we were talking about the like the parties and stuff, like the um over the top parties and stuff. Yeah, but another thing I just can't be bothered with is like themed decor for literally every holiday. Get out of here with your easter decorations I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2:I'm not. I don't think I decorated for thanksgiving. I, you, you know what I think I, you know. I talked about this before, about the pumpkin colored things. I think I was over like Thanksgiving decorations. This year I went straight into Christmas.
Speaker 1:I've never put a Thanksgiving decoration up in my life. I actually, for Christmas, can barely get my tree up. I have to do it literally right after. Well, I try to do it in the beginning of November, like right after Halloween I try to get up because I know that's the really the main thing.
Speaker 1:At my old house I had like a little area where I would put my tree. I had a mantle and I was able to like decorate the mantle, but that was really. I guess we did put like stockings on the staircase and stuff, but that's it. It was like the same little decorations. I just put it in one little tub in my garage, take it out, put it up and then that's it. Yeah, I'm I'm not a huge decorator and you know what? I don't know if it's. So. My grandma is one of those people who loves, loves a good holiday decor moment and she will decorate for anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so her their whole garage. She has tubs for like everything, yeah, every single yeah, oh, and Christmas, it's like. It is like Hobby Lobby exploded all over your house. It's just Christmas everywhere.
Speaker 2:But like it's cute, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like it's really cute.
Speaker 1:It's just I guess I would always be at their house for holidays. It's like I got my, you know, I got my little holiday decor moment whenever I was there, but I never had to do it, yeah, so now that it's my own house, it's you're like. I don't want to do it. I'll be honest with you, I'm still struggling with the fact that I'm someone's mom. Like I forget sometimes that I'm like, oh like. If I don't do this, this is my son's childhood like, these are his memories.
Speaker 1:And I'm just like man, I want to put the Christmas tree up and it's like bitch, you have to like if I didn't have Bentley, I probably wouldn't do half the shit that I. I mean I wouldn't even eat dinner.
Speaker 2:I just eat cereal stuff like that.
Speaker 1:I'm really bad.
Speaker 2:I don't know how you live your life you know, because it just seems like you're just. I don't know whiling out sometimes yeah, I sometimes I think like and you know I don't think that I don't really well either, but there are real staples to where like cooking dinner and cooking like like a meat, a vegetable, and like having a starch, like like really well-rounded meal and trying new recipes and all that stuff, and then also like I don't know, like decorating for the kids and doing all that stuff, like those things.
Speaker 1:And sometimes I see you and you're just like no, yeah, I'm not, I can't, yeah, I can't do that. You know, and I and I mentioned this in another episode. I'll mention it again because I really think it's made such a huge difference. I'm telling you, once we started these hello fresh subscriptions better, so much better.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, this is not a. This is not a paid ad here, though I wish it was.
Speaker 1:I wish we were getting paid to talk about this, because I really like it. I love hello fresh and I have tried other ones. I don't like them as much, but it's so freaking easy, like we just got our um weekly delivery yesterday and I'm putting it away and it's like all I have to do is once a week and actually you go on your, your app on your phone. It's like here's all the meals, you just pick them and then they just ship you a box once a week and you have literally everything you need for that meal and a recipe card and you can keep those recipe cards and make those recipes anytime.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cause, then you can just like go get all this stuff for it, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I love it it doesn't work for me.
Speaker 2:I don't know what I want to eat until that day, and we tried this before, where we'd even shop, like three days before, and then we would have like vegetables and I'd be like I actually don't want to have that. And Drew would go, no, we have to eat this. And I go I'm not eating it. And he's like, okay, well, I guess I'm gonna eat it. And then I so every day. This is why Drew's pissed off at me half the time is what do you want to have for dinner?
Speaker 2:And then, I'm like I don't know. And then I send him recipes. He says I don't look at the recipes, I just look at the photos. And then I send him these recipes.
Speaker 1:And then he's like no, you have to pick a different one. Well, you know how you were saying, like if you didn't have to pick out outfits and you didn't have to plan that stuff, you have so much more brain energy. That's how I feel about cooking. Yeah, if I don't have to worry, I don't have to think about what's for dinner, so I just go I, if I come home, and and then I go all right, bentley, pick out which one? You literally just pick up the recipe cards and there's a photo. Also, I have a cooker, I have a chef.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1:Well, I have this 12-year-old chef-to-be and, like I said, he's pretty good.
Speaker 2:Well, he's learning. He's really good.
Speaker 1:And he loves it because he can just follow the recipe, yeah, and he doesn't have to measure stuff.
Speaker 2:That's the thing yeah, because it comes in the measurements, which is that's amazing, yeah all the.
Speaker 1:If it's a sauce, it just comes in like a little packet and you just literally open it. You don't have to be like clean it is so convenient. Yeah, yeah I'm telling you, if you are not huge on cooking and like grocery shopping and like picking out all this stuff, get you a hello fresh subscription. Yeah, hopefully we get a sponsorship out of this.
Speaker 2:That'd be great sometime one day, one day, um, but for real, I do love it, I do, I know you do. You've been like bragging about it and just really hyping it up for months and months and months and how much it's made, like your life a little easier if you consider the cost of groceries. I know I'm like really harping on this yeah, I'm really trying to sell people on this. Yeah, I know it's okay.
Speaker 1:Go for it, keep going. The cost of groceries is so crazy. Yeah, I know that's almost the maximum thing that I can't be bothered with is even buying groceries. It's so expensive. It's so expensive, so HelloF, okay. So if we do one week where because you pick how many people, so I just do it for two people obviously Each meal comes for like enough food for two people and we do a lot of times we just do three meals because there's enough food for like leftover and stuff.
Speaker 1:So I just order three meals. We have three full dinners for two people. It's like $60. That's pretty cheap. It's really cheap and it comes straight to my door yeah, it's pretty cheap.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't have to grocery shop or anything like that.
Speaker 1:No, I don't have to think about anything, and I just love it yeah, that's pretty good, that's pretty good and because I don't like you know how you're saying is I'm kind of the same way where I don't really like to eat a lot of the same stuff over and over. Uh, dinner wise, and so if I buy something, you know it's just the two of us. So if, like, I buy even like the smallest thing of chicken, it's like that's for more than one meal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want chicken for three days no drew can eat the same thing every day, literally for lunch and for dinner. The same thing every single day, and I don't want to have anything to do with that.
Speaker 1:I can't be bothered with that yeah, yeah, I need, I need a maximalist meals, I mean.
Speaker 2:I think that the I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think that the I don't know, I think one of the big things with all this other talking about it's like why do we even feel pressured to do?
Speaker 2:any of it. Yeah, because the world said we have to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean especially social media. Yeah, and influencers Spelling? They said we were supposed to spell correctly.
Speaker 2:Correctly, I mean, that's say things.
Speaker 1:To me that's like a minimum, bare minimum thing you gotta.
Speaker 2:No, get your spelling and grammar together now you know, I've gone 40 years and it's still shitty and it's been fine. People still deal with me. Uh-huh, they still understand what I'm saying. Yeah, most of the time we piece it together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I don't know, I just it's. I don't ever want to feel pressured Like I have to do these things because I'm trying to keep up with someone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want to keep up with the Joneses, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got to keep up with the Pinterest moms. And I you know, I'm just an Amazon Prime mom.
Speaker 2:You know, you saw that little quote Like I'm not a Pinterest mom, I'm an Amazon. Prime mom. I really hope that the Pinterest moms, that their husbands love them a lot.
Speaker 1:I was going to say I hope that they're appreciated for all the work that they put in, but I also hope that they actually love those things and you're not just doing it for likes and comments and other people's approval. That's the thing. If any of these things, or any other maximalist things, are things that you are doing, it should be because you really love it. Yeah, yeah, like, put effort into the things that you really like, and if you don't really like it, then why are you wasting your time doing that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I'm not cleaning a toilet.
Speaker 1:I can't with you, I can't yeah. No, for real, Like I mean, the parties are stressful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, for real. Like I mean, the parties are stressful. You know, you don't have to go to the expensive gym if you can't afford it. You know, just do things for yourself, I mean for your kids too, and I know that's why they do those Pinterest parties.
Speaker 1:But also, some people just do it to level up. Yeah, yeah, for sure. You know, I was just thinking what I think big weddings.
Speaker 2:You know, I have a. I think this too. I already know what you're going to say.
Speaker 1:I think big weddings to me at this point now in my life I think those are that's a maximalist thing I can't be bothered with. And, if I'm being totally honest, that was a maximalist thing I couldn't ever be bothered with, although I had two of them, and the only reason I had these two big weddings is because I felt pressured from my family and friends like, well, you need to have this big, especially my first wedding. It was like you need to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, was your second wedding that big wasn't big, okay, but it was still like it was epic it was actually pretty.
Speaker 1:It was a very intimate.
Speaker 2:That's what I thought wedding okay, but it was still like we just wanted to elope.
Speaker 1:We just wanted to elope and then go like, go on our honeymoon. I didn't even want the kids there. I was like, no, we gotta just do this and be done with it. I would have been fine just going to the courthouse, but that was just not something. It was like that's unacceptable. You need to have a whole wedding.
Speaker 1:You need to have your family there and you feel I think people feel pressure about stuff like that, where you you have to have these huge whatever wedding, whatever, anything like that, because you feel like, oh, it's kind of fucked up If, like you know, my grandparents can't be there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or they can't.
Speaker 1:I want to have this destination wedding. I want to have this destination wedding with just us and like a couple friends or like just my parents or something, but then you feel this guilt of all the people from you know that all the other people aren't able to come, and maybe they're not even saying that, it's just in your own head.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I able to come, and maybe they're not even saying that. It's just in your own head. Yeah, I think people, little girls, it's been like embedded in our head that we're supposed to have these big white weddings and this is what, like you know, we're supposed to do when we get married. And I you know. If it's one thing, if you have the money for it and you're rich, you can really delegate a lot of your things. You, it's not as stressful when you have tons of money to do these huge things. It's still probably stressful, but you have a wedding planner, it's fine. But, like, especially when people are spending money that they don't really have, they should use it to buy their first house instead. And also, I don't think people realize how having intimate weddings really makes it special for their guests.
Speaker 2:Like, a lot of times people are doing this for their guests, right, like you're saying, for their mom, whatever. But when you have these smaller things and you get like more out of it, almost like you get to like have better food because it's smaller and you can spend the money, you know whatever, and you can give better gifts, you know, and stuff because nicer gifts and like more meaningful gifts and stuff like that and I just think that these small, what they call those micro weddings are just I think they're so amazing and they're so beautiful because you spend more on decor and it just you know you're actually with your favorite people instead of like your mom's coworker, like why do you get to invite five of your coworkers, mom, I don't. I met them one time, I said hello to them when I passed your office and now you're inviting five of them to my wedding. No, let me just invite the 50 people that I actually could write down in five minutes that I would want to be there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just feels better 50 people, jesus, that's a lot of people to me still, I mean any day.
Speaker 1:Any other day in our like regular sunday, I can invite 30 people to my house easy yeah, you do have a big like extended family too, yeah, and everyone lives nearby, which is really nice yeah, I mean, I could literally to me, I could have a micro wedding with six people yeah, that wouldn't work for me. It would just be me and the kids yeah, and it was like I didn't even want to have a wedding at all. I was like I don't want to worry about the catering, I don't want to worry about like any of this stuff. I don't want to do it. And then we still did it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it sucks.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I was like God, why did I do that? And it just, it is what it is. And it was just him and I. I thought it was literally the most romantic day that I ever had in my life. And we went to Spain and we did the renewal just by ourselves, and the morning of we took photos and then we went to lunch and then we did like a cooking class and it was literally the most romantic day I've ever had in my life and nobody else was there but him and I and it was amazing. Yeah, so yeah, but if day I've ever had in my life and nobody else was there but him and I, and it was amazing, yeah yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 1:But if you want to have those weddings too, like go ahead and be a maximalist and have a crazy white wedding yeah again, if that's what you want to do, but don't do things just because you feel like pressured yeah, other people for sure it because yeah that sucks, yeah, so it's not whatever a fun life. It's not, and life should be about having fun always.
