Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm Kate Torbert and coming up on today's show, Ruby Tuesday, Matthews defends her decision to bleach her nine year old's hair, Ashley Day's goodie bag drama, and a Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey in their Loser era. But first, I need to have a rant about a TikTok trend. You may
have seen it. It's the I Met my youngest self for a coffee trend and it was actually sparked by a beautiful poem by Jenna Cecilia in her soon to be a released book, Deep in My Fields. But it just feels like it's been co opted by influencers to brag about how great they are. I have never rolled my eyes so much at a trend, and it's just the same crowd doing it, Like I don't think I've seen any regular people doing it at all, Because it's, just, as you said, Kate, a platform to brag about how
successful and great you are. Yeah, I feel like it would be an immediate un friend or unfollow if someone I personally knew. Can you be like how much of you? Like how obsessed with yourself are you to actually be involved in this trend? Have you seen how long some of them are as well? Like you've literally got a screen shot in order to pause the screen in order to actually read the thing. Do they really think people
are reading the whole thing? Like I'll have a quick browse just to roll my eyes and be like, oh, okay, why do they think it's so deep? Whether they're late or on time? Like I just don't understand it, Like I mean, if I was writing about myself, I would be late both times. Yeah, it's like, we get it. You're successful and rich, Like you don't have to like plaster it all over in saying that what drinks would you guys have ordered at sixteen compared to me just
saying how self indulgent and boring it is? Yeah, you're asking it. Oh, I probably would have ordered a hot chocolate because I wasn't a coffee drinker. I can't even recall going to a coffee shop by myself or with a friend when I was sixteen. I feel like the only time you'd go out to some restaurant is if your parents took you, and it'd be one of those fast food chains, but they'd order you a jug of soft drink to share and get like a thimble that
one nine ninety What was that? Cafe Primo? Yeah, my old boss is best friends with the Cafe Primo girl. I think this will only be an essay reference. And literally everywhere she goes, everyone's like nine ninety and you'd get the free pancake after the meal. Oh they were elite. They were actually so I could go one of those. Now I shouldn't record whilst we're hungry, So welcome to our afternoon, but don't save our songs. Ruby Tuesday Matthews has defended her decision to bleach her nine year old
son Rocket's hair. The Influenza received backclash after unveiling her son's new hairstyle, Kate, can you tell us more? Well? She has tackled the criticism head on. Ruby shared a photo of Rocket to her Instagram feed and wrote a few concerned messages say he's too young for this. I personally think he's too young to own an iPad or phone. But hey, my family's a little different from yours. I'd rather my kids express themselves creatively and feel safe asking
me to help them to do it. Hair is just hair. It grows, it changes, and for some is part of who they are. Bold cuts, bright colors, or nothing at all, It's all good. Ruby finished up by saying, really, though, my main concern is that my mum slash Nanna is one hundred percent going to kill me. Ruby's post attracted over two hundred comments, with the majority agreeing with her sentiments. OG influencer Kurk Coleman wrote, my mum dyed my hair
blonde since I was two years old. He's definitely not too young as someone who has been bleaching their hair since they were thirteen. Though I have a bit of regret over it. It's not great for your hair, and especially if you're doing it at age nine. It reminds me a bit of Draco Malfoy when will Tom Felton he was on Harry Potter and he destroyed his hair from all of the bleak. Yeah. Well, I was having a look into it from a safety perspective because I'm like,
surely it's not good. And dermatologists do advise against dyeing kid's hair until after puberty because apparently children's hair is a lot finer than adults, and it's very susceptible to damage, and it's also more likely to cause reactions. Do you guys think the reaction online would have been different if it was Ruby dyeing her daughter's hair one hundred percent. I think people would have thought that she was trying to make her daughter grow up too quickly, and maybe
it was sexualizing her by changing her hair color. Well in saying that, there were a couple of comments on the photo saying that they didn't agree with Ruby sharing a picture of Rocket without his top on. I remember when we were at primary school there was a boy in our year who would use his mum's lightning shampoo. Wasn't that a boy that you had a little crush on? I mean, like the blonde streaks. Well, that was the look though. All the boys would have blonde tips and
it was pretty cool. Yeah, that was the era of Aaron Carter in the Backstreet Boys, where blonde tips were in Talking about school, a lot of schools have rules around kid's hair, so I was thinking, oh, I wonder if Rocket is allowed to have bleached hair at his school. Because there's always seems to be some story making the headlines about a kid getting kicked out of a private school because his hair is too long or the wrong color. Do you guys think nine is too young to dye
a kid's hair. I can't say I'd be dying my kid's hair at nine. I mean, financially, it's very expensive. He's going to have some terrible regrowth hing just on a superficial level. But I it's up to the individual parent. Personally, I wouldn't do it, yeah, I mean my first reaction was no, I wouldn't And I had to stop and think about why, because Ruby's comments made me really think, like,
it's just hair, what's the big deal about it? And I think it's because we grew up in quite a conservative household, and there's no way my parents would ever have let us die out. I think a lot of schools as well though when we were growing up, they wouldn't allow anyone to come to school with bleach blonde hair. It just made me think of the kids at Rocket School who aren't allowed to dye their hair. And I was thinking, this kid must come in and have a
pretty cool vibe about him. His name is Rocket. I mean, look at the photo as well and they're probably like, oh, mom and dad, Like, there's probably so much pressure on the kids in his class's parents. Now, I wonder if Ruby's been open about helping him dye his hair, because as kids get older, they become more defined, and he would probably at twelve just go and do it himself, and probably the results would be desired. I think a bleach blonde hair is better than a dirty, great big mullet.
I can't stand when I see kids with mullets. Also, Ruby makes such a good point people are getting their nickers in a not about her son dying his hair. But I mean, I've really been looking into screen time for kids, and it's very true, like we give kids iPads and mobile phones at such a young age, but no one's worried about that. Yeah, it's not the first time that Ruby has face backlash over her kid's hair.
A couple of years ago, she was criticized for shaving her newborn daughter's head, so in December twenty twenty two, she casually dropped that she'd shaved her four month old daughter Holiday's head and she forgot that they're Santa photos were the next day. She then returned to social media saying that everyone was losing it over the fact that she'd shaved her head, and she went on to explain that she'd actually shaved all of her kids' heads at
around the four month mark. She said, my kids were born with dark hair that slowly falls out and ends up looking crazy patchy, and the new hair holds off growing. I find shaving it makes it grow faster, thicker, and so much more. Even Okay, is this giving you the inspo to go and shaved. I must say, he already looks like he's got a bit of a fade because his hair. It's actually such beautiful hair. Yeah. I mean I kind of have missed the point because he's eight
months old now, but it did. I actually saw this on TikTok, and it did cross my mind because we have always grown up with very thin hair. I'm actually quite envious that mum didn't shave our heads when we were four months old. But Ruby isn't the only person to shave her baby's head. It's actually a tradition and a lot of cultures and religion, and Ruby's auntie, who was Indonesian, was the one who told her about the
practice in the first place. I saw on TikTok the other day that there was an Adelaide mum who was fake tanning her son. Oh that I don't agree with. Yeah, they were toddlers. Actually looked pretty good like it looked very natural. But she has gone off on TikTok. She gained so many followers over sharing that she did this
to a story that is absolutely fucked. Is it kind of intuitive though that Ruby made all this effort to shave her kid's head so that their hair was thick and now she's letting her son blench the fuck out of his hair lane. And we are here at Loose Studios in Brisbane, well my third master class of the Master Class Tour, which is absolutely insane. We have just finished setting up all of the goodie bags. Lisaes here
with her energy drink because it's essential beauty. TikToker Ashley Day put her fans on notice this week following her makeup masterclass in Brisbane. The makeup artist was forced to set an ultimatum with her class attendees after goodie bags went missing. Now, before we get into the lost goodie bags, for those not familiar with her, Kate who is Ashley Day?
So Ashley is an Australian makeup artist with one point one million followers on TikTok, and she started out sharing very honest beauty product reviews during the twenty twenty one Lockdown, and her authenticity and relatability was a big part of why she got so successful so quickly, and at the end of last year she was crowned the twenty twenty
four Australian TikTok Beauty Creator of the Year. So Ashley is currently in the middle of a makeup Masterclass tour around Australia, which felt like a real throwback to that twenty eighteen era when Michael fesh it So. Tickets to the master class were originally a whopping three hundred and fifty dollars, but Ashley ended up reducing the cost to one hundred and ninety nine dollars to make it more
accessible to her followers. When Michael Finch's like seven hundred and fifty or something astronomical because I think you've got to meet and greet and you've got a goodie bag. I mean, in this cost of living crisis, three hundred and fifty dollars for an event like that seems quite expensive. We can see why she reduced the price. Well, one of the big selling points of this class was the fact that each attendee got a goodie bag valued at
six hundred and thirty seven dollars. And these goodie bags are so good that people have been sharing hauls of them on TikTok, so they were clearly a hot item. What's in them? Oh so much good stuff like high end makeup and different makeup brushes. Now, following the master class in Brisbane over the weekend, Ashley took to her Instagram story to reveal that some attendees took more than one goodie bag. So this meant that people in the
class the next day were set to miss out. Now not only did Ashley have footage of the people taking the bags, but she also knew their name. How embarrassing. Yeah, so, Ashley said if she didn't receive the bags back by nine am the next day, she would personally message the people. Now the threat worked because the bags were returned alongside
flowers and a bottle of wine. I can't stand people in situations like that who just get greedy, Like you've got one bag, which sounds like it was a pretty decent deal, Like how selfish, can you get I am a little bit surprised. Not to blame Ashley, but I was surprised that they didn't have a few back up
bags in case something like this happened. But also what so were the bags displayed on the seats and people just system Well apparently there were four people that didn't come to the class and as she was going to mail them their bagh. Okay, that makes a little bit more sense. Maybe they thought the bags were going to waste, so they're just oh, I'll take one for the team. Yeah. I feel like the fact that these people returned to the bags with bottles of wine and flowers. They probably
weren't dirt bags just stealing them. They probably thought, you know what, no one's taking these, let's bring along. I feel a bit bad because imagine if they were name and shamed online. Nah. The thing is Ashley did mention that there was a lot of sneakiness involved and they were overheard sort of colluding about taking extra things. Well that's a sign to everybody. Just remember you were always
being filmed. Yeah. Well, at first I was like, why don't you just name and shame them rather than personally messaging them? I suppose because of the docks in law. Also clearly because these people are customers of hers, they've purchased an expensive ticket, come to a show. To be fair, who hasn't been in a situation where there's some free bees and you might be a bit cheeky and be like, oh well, if there's extra result, just pop in more.
Act like animals when anything's were free, Like even if you don't want the thing, like I have it, I'll I'll have fifty. Yeah. When I used to work at the netball team of Thunderbirds, I remember they had like mister fruit Chock there and he had half mister fruit chop and he had little bags of fruit chocks and the way they throw them into the crowd and they
just get swarmed off. It's a chocolate But it's even like you know, when you work at an office and they'd have a huge room full of pens and papers and high lives and stuff, You'd always more than you necessarily needed because there was something about this. This is free rewinding to mister fruit chalk. I want to know from our interstate listeners, have you had fruit choks before and do you rate them? Because it's quite contentious whether
people enjoy them or not. It's a South Australian chocolate. I love fruit Choks. I also love Haig's chocolate as well. The freckles are amazing. Oh my god. I associate fruit Chalks with Fridays because it used to be this radio collaboration where they'd always promote them. They are one of my go to chocolates. They are insane. So for you're just getting me really excited for Easter. It's not that far away. It's funny how no one celebrates it as
early as Christmas. So I did the worst thing last Easter. I went on a chocolate ban and that was for four weeks over Easter because I was going to my sister in law's wedding and my skin broke out so badly after my own wedding from stress that I was like, it must be the chocolate I'm consuming and the sugar. It did nothing. There are some really cute Easter items out at the moment. I think it Best and Less. They've got all these real cool hot cross bun like
kids Play. I've seen everyone on TikTok going nuts about Best and Less, saying that there were new women's range is incredible. Oh really, well, the kids range looks so cute, all of the Easter stuff. They've also got really good plate sets. And anyway, I've got to go into there because I'm going to be celebrating Easter in a big way because my baby's jew around then, and I don't know.
Something about it makes it feel even more special this year. Also, I think because it's been so hot, I'm sort of craving that autumn weather, and I feel like Easter is the best time to get cozy and have your hot Cross buns. It sounds very Yeah, the whole crowd booing is a pretty formative experience. This year's Super Bowl brought very different scenes for Taylor Swift. Last year, red and gold confetti fell around her as she locked lips with the love of her life, Travis Kelcey after he won
his second straight Super Bowl. Fast forward to this year, and the singer was aggressively booed by the crowd and heckled by President Donald try as the Kansas City Chief suffered a demoralizing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, so I vie Swifties didn't see this coming. No, these definitely weren't the scenes that they were anticipating. If anything, there was a lot of hope that there might be an
on field proposal after the game. God, that was never going to happen, and I would actually feel sorry for Taylor Swift if that happened. Well, that's the thing. Travis Kelsey didn't water down these rumors. He was asked by a reporter if he was going to propose during the Super Bowl and he smiled at the camera and said, wouldn't you like to know? So he definitely didn't put these rumors to bed. But it's insulting if he's like, no,
I'm not because that creates a headline. I felt sorry for him at all those press conferences because the majority of questions were just about Taylor Swift and you could tell that he was trying to be polite, but it was grating on Hill. She sparked a lot of speculation when she ended up arriving at the game wearing white a white single. Well, she wore a white singler and a white jacket, and everyone's like, oh my god, she
knows it's happening. Oh I'm sorry. If she knew that was happening, she wouldn't have gone so casual this year. That is crazy. And also imagine if that he did do that, all of the Kansas City fans would have been so pissed off because this is about the team's win, it's not about Hiven her. I don't think she'd want a public proposal either. She lived so much of her
life publicly, just it wouldn't seem right. Fans are just wanting that moment like on Cinderella Story when Hillary Duff and Chad Michael Murray united at the end of the game, and it's raining like, yeah, we already had that last year with them hugging people need to stop being so greedy. Well, I think this intense fascination with the proposal, and also Taylor Swift yet again being a talking point in the lead up to the Super Bowl seemed to anger a
large section of male fans. I know, even my partner, he was so funny in the lead up being like, I'm so sick of it being all about her and the brads and chads as they saw it, and they weren't happy because last year she appeared on the Super Bowl broadcast twelve times, so it was for a total of fifty four seconds. Not much. Yeah, I mean, the
game goes for about three and a half hours. They forget, they forged getting all of the fans that they're attracted by her being on the screen for fifty four secs and she doesn't choose how long she's filmed for. I mean, the brides and chads need to shut the fuck up, because she has done a lot for NFL. It's being reported that she's brought in over one billion dollars of
revenue for them. And the thing is, the broadcaster seemed to have taken a lot of these complaints seriously, as in the lead up over the past years, she really hasn't been as heavily featured during Chiefs games. Yeah, and you could tell even what Taylor was wearing that she had tried to sort of pair it back and not make it so much about her and her outfit. Yeah, because she essentially wore I mean brand names aside. She
wore a white singlet and some glittery denim shorts. I saw on TikTok there were some wags who were bagging her out, saying that she did them all the disservice by dressing in such a casual manner. She's like, they're like, this is the super Bowl, this is your time to shine. But she's trying not to be relatable still to her audience. And a lot of people say that Taylor Swift has bad fashion taste, but that's why everyone likes because even I thought she looked cool. Yeah, I thought she looked
cool as well. Talking about bad fashion taste, what the hell was Travis Kelsey wearing? I nearly died because I clicked on the Outspoken Instagram story on Monday night and I saw that Sophie had uploaded some video of Travis Kelce walking into the super Bowl in what looked like a suit from Anchorman. It was this Morone suit. It was brown and it was the brown Brownie Moron. I thought it was brown. It was like chocolate brown or whatever,
not the greatest color. Looked very seventies and so if it put like some sighing emojis as if he looked like I didn't put any emojis, well sorry, I thought you had put them on, And I was like, what the hell? Okay, I must have been in a week moment. I thought he looked quite hot. Are you serious? I actually liked I have a soft spot for Travis Kelsey and I like that he's into fashion. See I am all for Travis and Taylor, but he looked like an
absolute flog. Maybe because he had the glittery shirt underneath it was sort of matching with her glittery shorts. It was quite cute. The worst part was when he lost the Super Bowl, he had to get back into the outfit and he looked so deflated looking around. It's quite interesting because even though Taylor Swift has brought in so much revenue and attention for the NFL, the broadcaster said that they would not have a dedicated camera on her this time around, and they'd only cut to her when
they felt like it was fitting. So basically, she was only going to be shown if Travis did something remarkable during the game, which I didn't have boo. Well, yes, unfortunately for him, it was not his day. So it makes sense as to why she got a lot less
airtime as there wasn't really much for her to react too. Well. Ironically, the only time Taylor was shown it was during a break in the first quarter and she was booed by the crowd and this has made headlines everywhere, and you could tell that the boo came from a largely male section of the crowded seemed to take a lot of delight in heckling her. I felt so sorry for Taylor because she looked so confused. So in the vision, she was sitting alongside Wrapper I Spice, and as the booze
flooded in, she was looking around really bewildered. When she gave her side eye, it was that perfect you know, that meme of that monkey giving yes everyone keeps saying, and you could read her lips. She said, what is going on? She was absolutely shocked, and it would be really weird for her to be booed because you know, she's just finished up the eras to it where she is absolutely cheered. Neveryone loves her, you know, when she does that thing in the crowd and the eras to
it she points, it's like whoa Well. A lot of the mainstream media tried to play it off and say that it was an angry response from Philadelphia fans, because ironically, Taylor used to support Philadelphia before dating Travis. Another theory was that the booze came from some Chiefs fans who weren't impressed by the fact that she and Travis went out on what they were calling a pre Super Bowl date.
So they were spotted out for dinner on Friday night ahead of the Sunday game, and it's usually common for players to stay in their hotel rooms thirty eight hours before the Super Bowl. They were with Patrick Mahomes and his wife. They were out on a double date. Yeah. Well, I think everyone was sort of blaming Taylor that it's her influence on him always, like these men have to eat.
So when I worked at the thirty six's, we got into the Grand Final series, and I traveled with the team and we all went out before the Grand Final like it was just a normal thing. Plays not in the Super Bowl, which is worth millions and millions. Wasn't even the night before, it was the Friday night they've had their team meal. But this is the thing. These are all bullshit excuses as to why she got booed, because it was clear that it was Philadelphia fans. It
wasn't Chiefs fans who were booing her. And I think that the booing says something greater about the misogyny that has been on display in America ever since Donald Trump was elected. Because ironically, an hour before Taylor was booed. The crowd roared and cheered in support of Donald Trump when he was shown on the same screen standing in salute during the national anth That just says a lot
about the crowd that were there, very right wing crowd. Well, Donald Trump took great delight in Taylor getting booed, so he wrote on his own social media platform, which is called truth Social, the only one that had a tougher night with the Kansas City Chiefs is Taylor Swift. She got booed out of the state. MAGA is very unforgiving. He also retweeted a post on x which read Trump gets massive cheers at the super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed. The world is healing. Well. He clearly hasn't
got over the fact that Taylor endorsed Kamala Harris last year. Well, remember he wrote on his own social media platform that he hated Taylor Swift after that. This would have been really scary for Taylor Swift because after the game there were a mob of Eagles fans who were seen burning Chiefs jerseys and also aggressively chanting fuck Taylor Swift. People
are just awful. This makes me so mad, and I think people are analyzing this way too much because now people are saying that Travis and Taylor are in their loser era. So a Clipper's gone viral of TikToker Ali Kin saying that Travis and Taylor are about to enter this new phase of their relationship because they've only ever been with each other when they've been winning. So last year, Taylor won Album of the Year at the Grammys and
Travis won obviously the super Bowl. And this year Taylor lost out Album of the Year to Beyonce and Travis's Long at the super Bowl. So now they're apparently going to be steeing these very different sides of themselves as losers. I saw a lot of clips saying, oh god, they really feel for Taylor Swift because she is going to have to be working in overtime to commiserate Travis Kelsey because you know how like what babies, men are when
they lose any sort of sporting games. Yeah, I definitely think that people act differently when they lose, But I wouldn't ever call coming second in the NFL a loser, And yeah, Taylor's it's just a clever term to use because they do have a point, like their relationship has always been at this pinnacle where things are going great for them and suddenly when things aren't going so well and you're having to put up with someone's being MOPI over losing a game like it does cause some tension.
The other thing that's going to be different is that Taylor Swift isn't going to be on the road anymore for the Ears to it, so they'll be spending a lot more time together. So I think it will be very interesting to see how their relationship plays out over the next year. Yeah, but that's looking at their relationship from a very superficial level. I'm sure they've had a lot of personal ups and downs during the time that they've been together. Also, Taylor Swift has had to deal
with a lot being on the Ears tour. I mean she had that terrorist threat. I mean that's clearly something that would have been very difficult to deal I don't think anyone's saying that they haven't been through anything difficult. It is just interesting to analyze it. At the moment, both of them didn't have these huge wins that everyone expected them to have, and they're both going to have to be there to support one another in those difficult times,
so stupid, it's just going to make their relationship even stronger. Yeah, they can both relate over apparently being losers. I mean, I hardly would consider either of them losing. If they're losers, what are we like? You know what I mean? Fuck now, let's get into our Friday debrief and I need to talk to you guys about Married at First Sight because I am hooked this year and I'm so disappointed that
you guys haven't been watching. I feel like this season is so good that I'm almost tempted to go and watch on catch up because I'm saying it everywhere on TikTok. It sounds like it's one of the best seasons. They've had. Such an effort though, to get through the weddings. I've always each year, like the last couple of years, i haven't watched it because I've tried, and then I'm finally at the end of all the weddings, and then they
add more bonus wedding and people. This year, they did a really good job of getting through the weddings a lot quicker. They showed a lot more of the honeymoon content, so I think it's worth the effort. Even just a Sunday afternoon, just sit down. You can fast forward some of the bits. But I have to have a rant about the men on this year's series because everyone is just in shock at how disrespectful a lot of these
men have been to the brides. There was a scandal last week about basically the contestants had to rate their partners from least attractive to most attractive. A good idea. Well, it reminded me of a conversation we had recently, Sophie, because you were asking one of our friends if you've ever played that game with a partner where you talk about their friends, And I was like, who would ever
play that? You've played that with Brandon? She said she had. Well, I've tried to get him to answer, but he's not really forthcoming. Here just says, oh you, But that's just an argument waiting to happen. Maybe I should bring that in on that. Basically, the challenge of them having to rank their partners is just an excuse for them all to have a big argument. Some of the men were so stupid, like they ranked their partners not as the number one person. Some of them took it so literally,
like this guy Ryan he's the warrior in the series. Oh, he's a self proclaimed warrior. I don't even really know what that means. Is he inter martial arts or something. Yeah, it's just a whole load of wank. But basically, he took this task so seriously and was looking at the bone structure of all of the women and really analyzing which one he found the most attractive. I mean, the challenge is meant to be that you have the respect for your partner that you put them number one. Why
do they just lie? Like did they actually think that they are under a light detective tests? And they've got aswer so literally, well, this week got even better because it's been intimacy week and some of the stuff they thought was appropriate to show at that eight pm time. So I've seen so many people on TikTok saying as adults they had to leave the room because it was
too awkward to watch with their parents. Well, they had a lot of the girls went out lingerie shopping because the idea was that they had a fantasy night with their partner. It was their ideal date, and so a lot of them went to get lauringerie. So there were scenes of for example, one of the couples. One of the girls. She was dressed in this really revealing lingerie set. As you see that, people are going to pick you up for saying launderie. Okay, well whatever, I hate myself
the way I say it. Well whatever, I'm sorry. I'm from Adelaide. We have a different accent. But I don't even think you can blame that as an a I think that's just an us. Then. Well, anyway, she was licking the teller off her husband's nipples and that was shown. Yeah, there was just a lot of racy stuff. And on the most recent episode, this guy Ryan the Warrior. He decided to tell all of the grooms about his fantasy night and he proceeded to describe his wife as having
crazy eyes. And this is off the back of another one of the contestants labeling her as someone with crazy eyes. It was super offensive. And then he decided to tell everybody what great head jobs she gave. Can I just say, only person, sorry Sophie, to stick up for this woman was Alexandra the sex Expert. None of the men, they all stood there shocked, but none of them said, hey, mate, you can't actually say that about your wife. Look it's
clearly disgusting, but I'm not surprised. It seems like every year there's something like this that goes viral for Channel nine and they just use it to get rating. It just gets trashy each year. What I kind of like, though, is the fact that the men seem to be in the spotlight for their bad behavior, because generally there's a focus on two women who are fighting and you have
to pick sides. Yeah. Well, if anyone is watching Maths, I would highly recommend to go and follow Abby Chatfield's content on TikTok because she has been sharing goggle box like reviews of her and her boyfriend Adam Hyde watching it, and Adam's responses are hilarious. Well, I've got a bit of an update on my house Rhino's because that is how I've been spending all of my weekends so far. A lot of listeners were very invested in the prints that you were spoking about the other I'm still looking.
Thank you so much for everyone who sent in recommendations. I'm still on the hunt for some princes. I haven't found exactly what I wanted, but basically I'm so excited because this week we have locked in our kitchen renovations. Now, we are going through an Adelaide company where basically it's called Diy Kitchens, and you order the kitchens to arrive, so they come partly May. When you say the kitchens, give me in the cabinet. Try the cabinet tree. Yeah. And and this is not an ad. This is not
an AD. We've paid full price for everything. But basically my mother and father in law and husband, they're going to be putting it like installing the kitchens, because it's the most cost effective way to do it. They're confident that they'll do it. But we've got a bit of a time restraint because I'm having my baby shower at the end of March and the cabinets all arrive mid March. We're also hoping to put all of our new floorboards
in as well. Oh my god, and this on the weekend Mum kindly came over and helped me paint our room. We've got a bit of a feature all happening anyway. As people know, I've been sleeping on the floor for probably ten days now in my pregnant state, which has been absolute hell. But if you got a backup option for if all of this isn't ready for your baby shower. My mother in law was a bit concerned about it. She's like, should we try and push the baby shower out?
But it's a really tough fun amy because you're giving birth like two weeks after my baby shower. I've got my sister in law where i'm baby watch at the moment. I want her to be able to come and for her to have had enough time in between having her baby and being able to get out and about. So there's a lot of restrictions in place, so I'm just hoping, let's it'll happen. Let's throw in a kitchen renovation to
that stress. Why not? I mean it's actually kitchen and laundry, so it's it's gonna be hectic, so lots of uber. The thing is we need to be able to cook in the kitchen because I'm like, oh, I want to make food for the baby. Anyway I end up having this baby shower prom I M say, probably it might.
I'm getting because I live five minutes away from Sophie, so I'm guessing maybe coming around for dinners or that would be nice if you're offering, We've got a local at the media shop that I think will be frequenting a bit. My debrief is a little bit different. It's just the fact that I'm loving Megan Markle's Instagram story. So she's been quite active on there because she's at
the Invictus Games with Prince Harry. And it's really interesting because a lot of influencers have evolved obviously to talk to the camera and be really authentic and sharing what you're doing. However, she's just got someone filming her doing so, Yeah, I think that's more of a royal vibe. Like it's not as if you see Kate Middleton, She's like, I'm here at this event and yeah, I think it's a tactic for her to not appear too much like an influencer,
but she's still sharing about her life. Yeah, but I've been loving it because it's just very millennial of her. But don't you think as a whole people think it's a bit naff now to be talking on Instagram stories, Like I see a lot of even jen Z influencers talking less and less to the camera. Yes, that's the best way to engage with your audience. It is a good way, But I've noticed that the Instagram stories have changed, but Internet because they're more moving those conversations to TikTok
because they stay on the platform. Whereas I think someone like Mega Markle she could still talk to her Instagram following because she's not going onto TikTok yet yet. Well, I don't think she could go on TikTok. I just think she has to stick to Like I think Instagram is a little bit nicer than TikTok for well, I think that's all we've got time for today. Thank you
