Hello Sunshine, Hey Brightside fam. Today on the show, we're popping off and dishing on the biggest pop culture stories of the week, and this time we're joined by two of the co hosts from the new Prime video show Influenced, Achang Agutu and Tarn Delaney Smith. It's Friday, August ninth. I'm Simone Boyce.
I'm Danielle Robe and this is the bright Side from Hello Sunshine, a daily show where we come together to share women's stories, to laugh, learn and brighten your day.
Danielle, Happy Friday. We have had some moments to discuss this.
Week, Yes we have, and we are taking no mess, which is a little easter egg for an episode to come.
But it's time for the weekend.
This weekend is the official end of the Olympics, y'all. I can't wait to see the closing ceremony on Sunday. I wonder what they're going to cook up for us.
Well.
On today's show, we're talking about a gold medal podium moment that will go down in Olympics history, an alist actor who's still having to defend her body on set, plus a controversial relationship trend.
But before we go there, it's time to spotlight our favorite moment of the week, brought to you by our friends at BMW. The Olympics have been all over our feeds the last couple of weeks. We've witnessed some truly special moments from athletes all over the world. Some of my personal favorites have been with Simone Biles and cheering on Katie Ladeki as she swam her way into greatness yet again. And today we're spotlighting the youngest person to earn a gold medal in Australian history.
And on that note, it's time to give Arisa True her flowers because at just fourteen years old, she is a gold medalist in the women's park skateboarding final. Arisa is the first Australian woman to meddle in this event and this was actually her first trip to the Olympics and poof, she got gold. Can you imagine earning Olympic medal that young four cred years old? Talk about bragging rights at school the next day. Okay, this is funny, Danielle,
Guess that's how she wanted to celebrate. Tell me her parents told her she could get a pet duck if she won.
Wow.
How adorable.
Is that that's so fourteen years old.
That's not how I'd want to celebrate, But good for her.
I love it.
It's such a milestone. Congratulations to Arisa.
True.
We're so excited to see you win gold. Simone. We have something else we're celebrating.
We do.
It's a big day today.
It is a big day. It is our one hundredth episode.
One hundred episodes. I can't believe it's been one hundred.
You know what's funny is you and I came from TV, and when you do one hundredth episode in TV, it means you've had like a bajillion seasons.
It's a huge milestone.
And we do a daily show, so it feels like this hundredth episode came so quickly.
It really did snuck up on us. And it's been such a joy sharing the show with all of our besties. Thank you so much for helping us make this show a success. Y'all ready to pop off? Let's do it okay. Today we are joined by two of the amazing co hosts of the Prime video show Influenced. We have achang Agutu. She is your confidence Queen, a blogger turn model turned
culture maker, culture Shift or Honey. She is the twenty twenty four Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie and her fashion is nothing but fabulous and inspiring hi Vestie.
We also have the former beauty queen and self titled reigning Chaos Goblin, an actor, a comedian, and a beautiful human being making us all laugh and sometimes cry in the best way.
Taren Delaney Smith.
Hey, you're rying Hello. Thanks for having me.
So you two, along with your other co host Teffi Psoa, c rus Vacy and Il Booker, can all be seen on your new show Influenced, and you guys are breaking down all of our favorite trends. So it's so perfect that you're here today to do that with us. Welcome to the bright Side, Besties.
Thank you so much, Thank you for having us.
You guys are officially besties. We're all part of the Hello Sunshine family. Like it's the real besties here.
Yeah.
Huge, congratulations on the new show. I binged this weekend and I felt influenced.
It worked on me.
You guys are really bringing so much heart and a lot of laughter to that couch that you're all sitting on, and it's a new type of talk show. How do you think it's standing out.
I think it is showing that young people are forming cultures, influencing culture, making things shift and shake. I think it's also just an exciting way to show how social media is really very much a part of our lives and influences the way things ebb and flow influences what we do, who we are. But I think it's just a fun, exciting, delicious way to show the world that we are the future.
Honey. Yeah, I think it's really fun to watch people that I love interact with the show and my community interact with the show, because for them, they're like, wow, I can't wait to watch just when I get home from work. It's so fun to feel like I'm on the couch with you guys. It's just easy to watch and it's joyful. And I'm really interested in being part of things that ignite joy and that's a really cool
conversation be part of. And I think shout out to Hello Sunshine for their job, and Hello Eensine and Amazon and there casting. Because once we all sat down on that couch together, we realized why we each we selected, and the largely was because the way that we all connected with each other. Was so genuine and so fun, and we all have a group chat that we're talk in almost every day.
That's real, Auchang. We can see the glass skin from here. Our listeners cannot see it, but we can definitely see the glass skin. It's blinding. It's beautiful. We hear that you have an amazing self care routine that you think everyone needs to do.
What is it?
My go to self care routine, which I've just talked about right now, is one hundred percent moving your body, like even yesterday this morning. It's just kind of like a little stretch shake to kind of have your emotions in motion. Mine is high vibrational booty shaking, and just throwing that booty in a circle really has you feeling some kind of race.
Okay.
It has all your trauma kind of moving, It has your emotions moving, It has your body moving, so you're letting go of things, but also just being aware of things that.
Your body can do.
If you guys need a tutorial, I'm hosting a class.
Are you really no? I should really? Can I go? Please sign up? Sign me up?
Oh my god, come higher.
Rational booty shaking is where it's at. And I think you should try today.
Taren, we have to say a huge congratulations, not just for the show, but you have a husband. Officially, there are no longer fyance. How is how is your wedding?
I mean, I got married two weeks ago and I'm still married, so it's going great, which is amazing.
It was wonderful.
I really wanted my wedding to feel like the best dinner party anyone's ever been to. We had these huge, long tables covered in candles and greenery, and the majority of our wedding was dinner with our life pianist, my friend Aaron Buckner's incredible. He just played all of our favorite songs all night.
Taren.
I have to tell you just from my perspective watching online, because I've been lucky enough to know you for a little bit. Taren is from Seattle and she's been dating the same man for years, and they moved. They moved to New York, and they were broke and working really tough jobs. Taren used to be a secretary, and you
two really built a life together. So when I was on Instagram watching photos from your wedding, I guess I like felt it almost in a deeper way, because I was like, you really built this, you built this life, you built this love, and so it was such a big celebration.
Thank you. Yeah, I know, it's really cool.
I mean I met him when I was nineteen, and so we've grown up quite a bit together, and I mean I always say this. I'm like, I think your partner should be your biggest cheerleader in every capacity. Your partner should be somebody who you can, you know, look for across the room and they've got a big smile.
On for you, like, yeah, you got this. So it was so cool too, you know.
When I came home from that job that I hated, I worked in a call center.
I remember.
I had made my first viral video with nuts. It was my first video I ever made on TikTok. As it went viral, I was discovered by my now manager and she had taken me out to coffee on my lunch hour and been like, you should quit your job.
And you should do this full time. And I said, no, you're crazy, And I went home.
Shout out Shoshana with the big dreams.
And I came home and I told my now husband Ben boyfriend, I was like, can you believe this?
Crazy woman wants me to quit my job.
And it was actually my now husband who was like, Tea, you're so talented, you've got to do this. And I was like, I cannot afford, sir, to live off talents and you know, and he again was like Nazi, like you're not going to get this chance again.
And he was the one that was like I got us, like I.
Can pay all of our rent, like if you just pursue this. So it's all really, I mean, it's because of so many people. But I can never not thank my husband for being my biggest cheerleader.
He's a good man. Savannah.
I was big bild.
Okay, well enough about you too, It's time to pop off about other people. Okay, are you ready already? It is the final week of the Olympics. We have all been watching and a moment that really stuck out to me was during the track and field events. So this
week there was a French athlete named Alice Fino. She broke the European record for the three thousand meter steeplechase and she placed fourth overall and when she ran over the finish line, she ran over to the sidelines straight to her partner and she proposed within Olympic pin that said love is in Paris, Okay. He obviously said yes, She's on the world's largest stage right now, and she proposed to him. My question for you is could that be you? Would you all ever propose to a man?
Here's what I'm gonna say.
When I first saw that video, my initial reaction was like, hell, yeah, I thought that was great. I was like, that so cool, and I was I literally I should it's here because as I would any other proposal.
I just thought it was so sweet.
I didn't even think about it until I went to the comments and they were so naked as we can imagine. My people were like, oh, don't do this. I mean, I didn't like the discourse I found it. So I was like, are we still doing this where it's like, I don't know. I just I didn't enjoy the fact that people couldn't take it for what it was, which is this beautiful thing. They were both emotional, they were both obviously so deeply in love, and she asked him to marry.
Her, and so it was great.
However, for me, within the boundaries of my relationship, my husband and I knew we were going to get married from our first day, like we literally talked about it on our second date, Like he knew for the ten years or together that we were going to get married. He actually tried to marry me many years ago, and I wasn't ready because I wanted to win Miss America. I want to Miss New York. So there's a lot
of things that I wasn't ready to get married. Yet we were on our own timeline, so we always knew he was going to ask me. I designed my own ring, like we did that our way. When we got engaged. There were people that were like, I.
Can't believe they've been together for ten years.
I'd never be with them for ten years and wait that long for them to marry me. People are always going to have an opinion on your relationship, on your timeline, and you've got to block it out because there is nothing more personal. There is nothing more personal than your partnership, be it to whatever gender they are or to whatever that you identify. You have got to block that out.
So we can comment on this all day and how it wouldn't fit into the boundaries of our relationships, but really it doesn't really matter.
So I think what she did was beautiful.
Shout out to her. Okay, I know what you're about to say. Shout out to that lady. Love for her, Okay. I think that.
She said this in her interview, saying, the reason I proposed was that I wanted to beat the women's three thousand steeple chase by nine, like the record was like nine minutes, and so she got like eight fifty eight or something, which is amazing. And then she said that number nine was her luckier and number nine was also the years that her and her partner have been together, and she said, because he wasn't.
Going to do it, I decided to do it.
And I think that's the part that got me. It felt like she really wanted this. She did it on a big stage where if this man said no, you'd be the asshole of the Olympics, Like, what the heck do you mean?
You know?
And I think that it came out of a place of necessity for her, like she wanted the ring. This man wasn't going to give it to her, so she was going to use her space and this really big moment in her life to say, Yo, I want to marry you.
Marry me.
You know, in my head it felt like no conversation was had. In my head.
It felt like he's not going to do it. It's been nine years, and I'm going to have to do it because I can't wait any longer. I support women's rights and women's wrong ungs, and for some reason, this just feels a little off to me. I want that love to prosper. I want that love to be great. She deserves that marriage, she deserves that ring. But I just don't think, especially in a day like that, you don't deserve to get on bended me to ask a man for his hand in marriage.
I think that I personally would not.
My mother would appear from the depths of her bedroom and appear to wherever I am on bended knee and push me over, madam, get up, stand up.
Chaing the context that you dropped about her partner not having proposed to her and it's been what nine years, I think that is key here, Like the context is everything. It makes me. It does make me sad that she felt backed up against the wall, like, Okay, he's not going to do it, so I got to be the one to do it. That's giving me red flags about this relationship. Yeah, I think so really.
Yeah, But don't you think sometimes people need a push, Like sometimes people want something but they just are scared to take it to the next level.
They're scared to buy the house.
She pushed him out of this playing with no parachute.
We have to take a short break. Stick with us.
We're back to popping off with the co hosts of the new show influenced Taren Delaney Smith and Achang Agutu. We do have another Olympics moment that we need to Kiki about. This one history making moment on the podium, the first all black podium in men's or women's gymnastics at the Allies.
Yes, we shared that.
Yes, when Rebecca andraj took home the gold in the floor event and we got to give a huge shout out to Simone Biles and Jordan Childs who placed second and third respectively. This moment was so special though, because Jordan mentioned to Simone, hey, Rebecca to come gold. What if we bow down to her during the podium ceremony and they did. And it is this moment, this photo that is completely emblazoned in my mind.
Now.
I think it's so inspiring. It's like the girlhood of it all. For me, the fact that in that moment there was so much mutual respect and admiration between those three athletes, and the fact that like Simone Biles recognize, she knows she's the goat, like she knows that she is the main attraction at the Olympics in terms of a gymnastics event, but she took the time to recognize the skill and the talent of her competitor, of Rebecca. I can't think of enough good things to say about
this moment. I'm disgushing. No, I love it. It's given girlhood, womanhood, girls being girls and all the fun stuff. And I think when it comes to sports, there is such a heavy sense of competition, like, y, if I'm winning, you can't be winning, or like and I know it's it's kind of like toxic, and especially on the Olympics, where everyone is great, like they have the best athletes of each country. And I know there was a little bit of backlash from a few people being like, oh, why are.
They doing that? Why are they bowing down to her? Or why are they you know, doing this and that? But I feel like it's like they're giving her her flowers. The athletes who won gold had like so many injuries and all that stuff for her to go through, like so many torn cels and all that stuff, to come back to the Olympics and win gold. She deserves those flowers and to have her other counterparts and her other colleagues like respect her and give her her flowers and be like, yes.
Girl, we're buying down to you.
You deserve this.
That's so beautiful.
So for other people to see that as like it's silly, or it's disgusting or it's whatever, just.
Did make sense to me. I think what you're bringing up is this comment from this NFL player, Marlon Humphrey from the Baltimore Ravens. Yes. He called it out on Twitter and said that this moment was literally disgusting, which is so confusing because like, I just know the weirds the weirdest comment.
Why do men have access to Twitter? Time to take it away?
My first thought was, anybody who doesn't understand that does not understand sisterhood, why would and why would he understands sisterhood? So I don't know why I would expect him to, But I will say that one thing my mom has always said is the greatest leaders of all time, the greatest leaders in our history know how and when to follow, which translates to the greatest leaders, people that are truly you know, masters of what they do and should be
and should be looked to as role models. They know when to let others shine, they know when to promote amplify others. There's a sense of community there and they know how and when to foster it. And to me, those other two women on the podium that agree to you bow down, those are leaders. To me, yes, those are absolute leaders because they know how and when to foster community, you know, and genuine celebration for someone else.
Taran, to your point, I just listened to a podcast with Brene Brown, Adam Grant, and Simon Sinek all about mental toughness and they said the one indicator of mental toughness is humility, Yes, and that to be in the Olympics requires extreme mental toughness. I think those women were
showcasing humility. And also, when you are a part of any minority group, you need the person standing next to you more than anybody else, right, Like women women of color understand the idea of community better than most people, I think, And that was showcase there.
Yeah, I just thought it was the most beautiful thing. I want to frame that photo, put it in my house.
I do too, It's so inspiring. Okay, we are going to take a hard left turn here, you guys. I'm going to take us back a little bit. Okay, okay, Okay, I'm scared. Don't be scared. It's all good. What do you what do you think of when you think of Kate Winslet in the nineties, It girl.
Rose Titanic, the most beautiful the face.
Yes, oh, this is the face. I love the face.
She was a little bit of America's sweetheart. Yes, it girl, Yes, it girl. I think of Titanic, I think of classic beauty. Well, behind the scenes, Kate Winslet was actually deeply impacted by the media's criticism of her weight, and she says that that's part of the reason why she developed an eating disorder.
And it turns out the scrutiny never ends, because just this week, Kate Winslet revealed that on the set of her most recent movie, while she was shooting a scene in a bathing suit, a crew member on set told her to sit up more so that her belly.
Rolls would show. Excuse me, Kate has been preparing I don't know, twenty years for this moment, like the amount of scrutiny and criticism that she has had to weather around her body. She knew exactly what to say, so here's how she responded. She said, not on your life. I am not going to sit up more. Not on your life. And she says that that response was deliberate. When asked if she had an issue with looking less
perfect on screen, Kate said, quote, it's the opposite. I take pride in it because it's my life, and it's my life on my face, and that matters, and it wouldn't occur to me to cover any of this up. What's your reaction to how Kate Winslet handled that moment?
A change you're having like a physical reaction? What's going on, Tria?
That's so crazy?
Number one, First of all, I'm glad she talked her shit and she said what had to be said. I think, especially women in the industry, the amount of scrutiny you get for anything like these. The you can be a popuarazzi picture of somebody walking outside and they're just walking like cause that's life, right, And you may be a little slouched over and the headline is like this person spotted looking like this, or have gained week for me?
Why?
I just I don't understand society's obsession with not letting women be soft, and by soft, I mean like having flesh and having a body. The amount of scrutiny that I've received being on social media for people who have told me to go to the gym, who told me to lose weight, who've told me I will never amount to anything because I am a chubbier black woman that they can see my stretch marks, Like, the amount of scrutiny from that is absolutely insane.
You're afraid of a little belly.
Roll, something that shows that you are actually human, that you have life, that from your stomach, that you are breathing and living, that you have eaten well and nourished your temple, that you are existing in this beautiful wildlife.
Like that's so crazy to me.
And honey, if you want to see more belly rolls, you can catch me on Sports Illustrated because the roles aren't rolling there.
Honey, it is life.
And I'm glad that she's living in that truth because from things like like.
Crows feet or wrinkles or stretch.
Works, all these things. That is a body of a woman who has lived. And I can tell you Kate Winslet has lived, and I'm glad she said what she.
Had to say.
Ugh Taren, you're nodding. What do you think?
This is an epidemic of pushing women from the moment that they hit puberty to be thin, to have flat stomachs, when in reality bodies were meant to bend and stretch and roll.
What a blessing? What a blessing like that?
Chang said, what a blessing if you have a body that bends and stretches and the softened places, because that is what bodies do.
One other thing I have to say is I have come to a point where a lot of these things that are like thrown at you from people on the internet is always thinks those people are experiencing and insecurity, so people have and it's always like a putting it on you, like for a long time for me, I'm like, yeah,
this is what my body looks like. Yeah I have a fuupa And I didn't clock to me that that was something that was maybe not accepted until people started calling it out like oh, maybe in that dress, maybe you should wear banks or something so that your stomach doesn't truth. In my head, I was like, Okay, that's fine. Like in my head, I was like, it's fine, this dress looks cute on me. But then somebody else would say that. I'm like, oh, it's not something I should
be thinking of. Or maybe next time you should wear long sleeves. Arms done show.
What do you mean, y'all? Like my arms is looking so cute in sixty indies Dreys, what do you mean?
So those are always insecurities from other people, and people always project. When it's something they can't deal with, they will project it on you.
I think that there's one part of this we haven't touched on yet, which is media. So I think about the viral thing on Instagram. You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me. Trend And I remember going to grocery stores in Chicago, growing up in the suburbs and seeing the magazine covers of Okay and people in all these places, and they would circle women's stomachs on the beach and they would like circle. They would zoom in on Britney Spears, who was in incredible
shape and say, look at this cellulite. And I think there was a generation of women that were raised on this idea.
I know that it really impacted me.
I can say that that media impacted me more than probably my friends at school or the good things my mother was telling me.
It is so damaging, and.
So I think social media in some ways has actually helped it because there are real people showing real bodies and body diversity that are making every other woman feel like, oh, this is normal and this is okay and this is beautiful. But the media scrutiny, which is I think what Kate Winslet is also alluding to, it was just horrendous.
It was actlutly.
I remember and like the way I remember growing up under the impression because I thought everywhere was Jessica Simpson.
They just tore her for her body in the same the headlines.
Talking about how fat Jessica Simpson was, and now I look back at photos of her during that era and I'm like, what, Like, I cannot believe that we we were brainwashed. We were brainwashed. And I also I feel and I feel terrible for these women that were subjected to this and nobody like I just don't feel that anybody was calling it out. I don't feel that anybody. I think that we are a lot better now about calling it out. I think it is so pervasive that it continues.
This narrative has not gone anywhere.
It's there, but at least we have platforms now that we can call it out and talk about it more. But it just makes me, It makes them so sad and it's so frustrating.
Okay, I want to close out on a topic that is let's just say it's going to be a hot take, but I need a promise from all three of you before I jump in.
I need your true, honest opinion.
Now, what do you think people want to hear? Because this one it could get us.
In some hot water. The proposal story was the warm up. This is I'm ready, Yeah, I'm ready.
Okay.
There is a new controversial relationship trend that is taking over the internet. It is called holly amory t l y amory. So this term was started by relationship columnists and podcaster Dan Savage, and it's a new term that means a partner or spouse turns a blind eye or tolerates their partner or spouse's sexual relations with other people. So TLDR, you're okay or tolerate cheating?
Could you ever? Taren? I want to start with you.
I have runners insurance.
I would burn this apartment to the ground, and I know the walls heard me.
Absolutely not.
I like how we think that if we put a word on something that unfortunately people have been doing to their partners for years, that we're going to normalize it.
No.
I mean people have been having affairs since the dawn of time and it was hurtful then it's hurtful now.
I think hell no is my general answer. But I really want to.
Say whatever floats about, I want to say that it does not float mine.
I'm not floating.
Okay, what do you think?
A but absolutely not, honey, not on Beyonce's Internet.
Can you be saying that? Are you mad? Listen?
Tolerating, tolerating betrayal, tolerating cheating a.
Lot of people, I don't know.
I wouldn't say I said it like married people or whatever, but it's people who have been in relationships for a while. Once you've built something, sometimes it's hard to let that go. But then it's a sunken cost. If somebody has disrespected you in your relationship in a way that you deem is not tolerable for you.
I think you must pack your bags.
And you need because you're you are tolerating this madness for the sake of who. Because at the end of the day, you're still upset, You're still mad, You're still worried. You're still worried if this person is going to do this, this, and this there. You're worried if this person is bringing what back into your house for the sake of what a nice house in West Village.
Okay, I'm going to throw in one little thing to stir the pot. I have a really close friend who got married when we were young, and she started having kids and stopped working, and so her husband is the breadwinner and finances her life and the children's life, their family's life, and she takes care of the kids. He cheated on her, and she called me and she was like, I love him, I don't want to break up our family.
And I also feel stuck. I think once I'm not married or have children, so simon, I'm going to defer to you. Yeah, but once you have kids, I do think there's something that changes in your mind about cheating what do you think.
I think that a marriage is strong enough to survive cheating. I mean, marriages do it all the time. I think what becomes problematic is a pattern of that, Like after you've repaired and after you've committed to rebuilding the trust as partners. If this is a pattern, which is what tollyamory is, it's like turning a blind eye. I'm not saying this is what every marriage should do, but I just I do want to say it is possible for a marriage to recover from an affair. And when you
do have kids, there are more factors to consider. Now, I would say to that friend, she better get her finances in order, Like she needs to be autonomous, she needs to have agency in that relationship. I pray to God that she has at least transparency over the bills and how things are being She does.
But she still doesn't want to break up her family, like she you know, She's.
Which I can respect.
And I think I think a lot of women out there I want to acknowledge. I feel like a lot of women out there they see this and this is the sacrifice.
They're like, this is the sacrifice because.
We see that with so many athletes wives, I think, right, yeah, But.
What I'll say is I've never had married parents in my household. Right.
My my mom.
Separated from my dad right before I was born. We won't go into all that on this show. But what I can say is there was never a day that I wish my parents were married. Because my mom, yes, she struggled a lot.
I don't.
I don't feel broken from that. I feel strong from that. I love watching my mom know her worth and know what is good for her, and know that my mom wanted freedom, she wanted She was like, I wanted to live my life the way I wanted to, and I wanted to raise my children the way I wanted to. And so if I don't know, if anyone's listening to this and they're toggling between that, I can just say I'm from a home where that's happened, and my mom's.
Okay, you did a great job.
And I am now happily married, and I know that that's because I was raised by a woman who really taught me that I don't need a man to support her completely, but I do get to choose the partner that will love me in the way I need to be loved.
That is so special.
Because I think the thing is that also keeping that family unit where now there's no whether you've healed from that betrayal, where now there's a point where there's normal love. Your relationship with your partner is not the same. Kids peak a pickup on things like that, right, They can tell these attentions, They can tell the something that is wrong. So you would rather keep that toxic thing together for the sake of a space that.
Has already been burnt down, you know.
And I think when these children added into the equation, it does make things different. But like Tarn has said, there is space for healing, there is space for re restoration, whether it is and for my for me, I truly
believe it can be by yourself and so for your friend. Yeah, try and figure out how you can have autonomy in that relationship where you you don't have to be folk like be like the only person who's bringing money back into this house is this man, and I cannot live without this man supporting me or my children.
That you know, someone who did a great job of acknowledging that a marriage can heal. And then it doesn't necessarily mean if you stay you're foolish or something, right, like if you stay with a partner who really wants to repair things and.
It's genuinely sorry.
Right.
I also think there's beauty in that and that's good.
Yeah, but it's more so this whole toleration of betrayal, tolerating being hurt again and again and again. That's a different conversation.
Yeah, I think, yeah, to they need to take that off to the internet.
Since they need to, someone's going to start a clult.

We need to take a quick break, but we'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. We're back. All right, Danielle, it's Friday. Let's get ready for the weekend with another What's in Your Cart presented by Walmart. So this is our weekly segment where we have the opportunity to share product that we're just loving right now.
I love sharing products I love, so last week I gave a huge shout out to my absolute favorite mascara of all time, Loriel Voluminous. And this week it's all about being smooth. And I'm not talking about sliding into your dms or the trending Apple dance that's take it over, TikTok.
I am talking about smooth skin.
I don't know about you, but I love having supple, soft skin, especially in the summer.
Uh yeah, who doesn't love soft, supple summer skin.
Okay, Well, I've tried all.
Of the lotions, all of the oils, and I always come back to one hero product. It is the Palmer's Body Lotion. And this is actually a family secret. My great great aunt Margie used it, my mom used it, and now I use it.
There's so many different versions.
You have the body oil, the lip care, and of course the body lotion, which for me is the og product. It's really great after you get out of the shower. And it's especially great if you get a spray tan, because other lotions take your spray tan off. This one keeps it on. It extends mind for like a whole week.
Palmer's It's a classic, a tried and true beauty staple. Nice rec Danielle. I'm gonna be hanging with my boys at the pool this weekend, so maybe I'll add some Palmers to my poolback.
Phil, Thank you. You'll smell so good after you put it on.
Okay, Bestie's that's it for today's show. Thank you to our partners at Walmart. On Monday, Oscar nominated actor June Squib joins us to talk about her leading role at ninety four years old in the new movie Thelma Plus. She gives us a glimpse into Hollywood through the ages.
