low waisted underwear and itchy ears, pet peeves

You know what? I'm going to let myself be a little bit negative today. Why not? I'm going to let myself complain a little bit. Hey, come on. I've earned it. Maybe I'll even let myself be a little bit toxic today. Because listen,

I've recently been a glass half full kind of girl. I've been really positive recently. And as much as I believe that we should lead as positive of lives as we possibly can, I equally believe in balance. And I'm starting to worry that I'm being so positive that at some point within the next few months, I'll have some sort of unexpected, inappropriate outburst.

negativity at the wrong time. So I'd rather control the situation and give myself an hour or two right now to be negative and complain and maybe at worst be a little bit toxic for preventative measures for the sake of balance. So today I'm going to be sharing with you all some of my recent pet peeves. And I say recent pet peeves because I've shared various pet peeve lists on this podcast, Anything Goes. And

And I don't really have like a definitive list of pet peeves. I rather have an ever-growing list of pet peeves. And so today is just an extension of all of those other lists that I've done in the past. So without further ado, I guess we should just begin. I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode is presented by Dove's new Plant Milk Cleansing Collection.

You know how I love my little treats. And I feel the same way about treating my skin in the shower. So I give my skin what it's craving with Dove's Plant Milk Collection Body Washes. Made with a special plant milk blend, just one shower deeply hydrates your skin and leaves you feeling soft and glowing.

My favorite scent is the oat milk and berry brulee, but they all smell incredible. Turn your next shower into the little treat your skin deserves. Head to Target to buy Dove's Plant Milk Collection Body Wash before it sells out.

Now back to the episode. Starting with something that literally just pissed me off like two minutes ago. I sat down to record this podcast, pressed record on my camera, pressed record on my recording equipment, got seated, got comfortable, took a sip of my matcha, had a little smile because of how delicious it was, and started to talk. And within about five seconds of talking, I had to pee.

So I had to turn everything off, get up and go pee. This first pet peeve is having to pee at the most inconvenient times. And I am the queen of this. I swear my bladder is the size of a quarter. I'm not kidding. I have to pee every

So often. And it's always at the wrong times, always at the wrong times. Like when I get into bed at night, the second I get so comfortable, like my pillow's in the perfect position and

My body is in the perfect position. My body's at like the perfect temperature. Right when I feel like, wow, this is magic. I've been looking forward to this all day. I'm in bed. It feels so good. Boom, have to pee, have to get up, have to go pee. In fact, before bed, I have to pee usually at least two or three times. This is not an exaggeration. Ask any boy I've ever dated. I have to get up and go pee at least two or three times before I can fully get up.

lay down, get comfortable and go to sleep. Now I know what you're thinking, Emma, why don't you just sit on the toilet for a while before you lay down for the night? Oh no, I do that. I do that. After brushing my teeth, I will sit on the toilet for like 10 minutes and I'll try to let it all come out, all the pee. All right. And I'll come to the conclusion that there's no possible way that there's any more pee in there. And I'll, I'll get up and I'll get in bed and I'll get comfortable. And then somehow, for some reason, I'll have to pee. Like,

five minutes after getting into bed. I don't know what it is. It's so frustrating. Honestly, maybe I should talk to a doctor about it because I feel like it's weird that I have to pee like three separate times before I fall asleep. But it's just who I am. But beyond that, like when I'm out and about, say like shopping around,

Whenever I'm in the store that doesn't have a bathroom, that's when I have to pee. The store that does have a bathroom, oh, I don't have to pee there. No, I just don't have the urge. But the second I walk into a store that doesn't have a bathroom, my body knows, it can sense that there's no bathroom and it chooses to want to pee. It's the worst. And

It's almost like my body is setting me up for failure and annoyance. Okay, moving on. Lip balms or products in general that come in a pot, okay? By a pot, I mean like a little canister that has like a screw top. And basically to get the product out, you have to dig your little dirty finger in there. This is a pet peeve for me for, I mean...

truly infinite reasons. Okay. Number one, because I don't trust that my finger is ever clean enough to go into a little pot of product.

In my head, I'm always delivering bacteria into the product. And that sort of grosses me out. Then I start to feel over time like my product is a cesspool of bacteria. And that really bothers me and that sort of gets in my head. Does it prevent me from using product? You know, no. But it's like this sort of icky feeling I get in the back of my head.

But beyond that, I hate having to dig things out with my finger because then I get product under my nail. And that really bothers me. I do not like the feeling of having product under my nail. And here's the deal. I used to have long, long nails. In fact, I on and off had long, long nails for like the last 10 years.

It's even worse when you have long nails. Okay, now my nails are short. I'm in a natural nail era, if you will. And it's actually still annoying, even with natural nails. But with really long nails, it's like impossible. Yes, you can take your nail and like use the back of your nail and sort of try to scrape it out. But then some always gets under the nail easily.

And then it's like hard to get it out. It's very frustrating. And then with your natural nail, it's almost even harder with your natural nail, actually, now that I think about it, because you can't really use the back of your nail because the nail is too short. And if you use like the pad of your finger to get product out, I don't know, like unless your nails are really short, you will get some under your nail. It's just...

It's so annoying to me. I think everything should be in a squeeze bottle. I don't know. Like I have some amazing lip products that I love, but they're in a pot and I just, I don't even end up using them because I'm so frustrated by that. My facial moisturizer is in a pot and

And I actually bought like a little spatula for removing products so I wouldn't have to dig my dirty finger in there. And that works, but it's like, I shouldn't have to buy a special product like that. In my opinion, everything should be in a squeeze bottle. And I do think that there are reasons why certain things aren't in a squeeze bottle, like a textural reason. Like I believe that the brands that I love that make products in a pot are doing it for a reason, okay? But yeah, yeah.

just really bothers me. Okay. Next pet peeve. Speaking of nails, because I just mentioned nails quite a bit, regular nail polish. I'm talking about regular 2010 pre-gel polish nail polish. I'm talking about, you know, nail polish that takes 20 minutes to dry, that chips in like three days. I'm

I love gel polish so much. I remember when gel polish came out and everybody was still calling it shellac. And I remember going to my local nail salon. I had a nail salon that was like a five minute walk from my mom's apartment. And I was obsessed. I would go as often as I possibly could. Whenever there was like an excuse, I would go.

And I would get gel polish and it was so much fun for me because it was well, I loved doing nails and I loved having my nails done. And I do still like I love the art of nails and I always have. And I used to do my own nails a lot with regular polish and I would do nail art on myself like I was into it. Okay, I'm really into nails.

And when gel polish came out, it was so exciting because it was like, oh my God, I can get the perfect manicure and it'll last for a really long time. And then when they started doing gel polish on the toes, a pedicure would last five, six weeks instead of just three weeks. My manicures and pedicures, especially my pedicures though, would last double, maybe even triple the amount of time. It was like this miracle.

And gel polish has come so far over the years. Now it's like there are so many options. It's even more durable and long wearing than ever. They're working on the ingredients. Like now there's like natural forms of gel. Like it's great. Okay. The industry is thriving. We love gel polish. It blows my mind when people get regular polish. I can't comprehend it.

And I don't care what other people do. Okay. It's none of my business. I don't care if you love regular polish, don't let me stop you. But it blows my mind because I'm like, you,

you would save money by getting gel because it'll last double, even triple the amount of time. Like what's happening? Also the drying process of regular nail polish is one of the most excruciating experiences of life. Okay. All you want to do is leave the salon, but your nails are still tacky. And so you have to sit there for another 20 minutes. And then even after that, like you accidentally bump your hand and now your, your manicure is ruined. Like,

Like this is, we are not living in 2005 anymore. That's an inconvenience we don't need to experience anymore. I just, I don't get it. Listen, again, I don't care what other people do, but if there's a scenario where I have to wear a regular polish, like sometimes-

It's very rare that it happens because I'm so against it. I'm so against it. But there's been times where I've been at a photo shoot and we want to sort of slap on nail polish real quick. That's a different color over maybe my gels or something. And the drying process, I'm like, oh my God, I can't believe, I can't believe this. I just, I hate this so much. And in general, just the fact that it still exists bothers me. Like I think it should not exist. I think only gels. No, I do think it should exist actually because of what I just said. When you're like,

When you need to do a quick manicure or something and you don't have time to, you know, do the full gel thing. Okay. That's fair. You know what I mean? Or if you're doing nails at home and you don't feel comfortable buying all the, the gel stuff. Like I personally have a full gel kit, the light that cures the nails. I have all the gel polish. I do my own gel nails all the time. Like the manicure I have right now, I did myself and they're really chipped because I'm rowdy. But anyway. Okay. Moving on to nail.

itchy ears from allergies. I have the worst seasonal allergies. It is unbelievable, and they've gotten worse as I've gotten older. Like, when I was a kid, I never got seasonal allergies. Like, yeah, maybe I'd sneeze or get like a stuffy nose every once in a while, but I don't know, not really. Now, I am constantly battling my allergies. I have allergies from a few things. Number one, pollen, the seasons, plants, dust, and

you know, all that stuff. But then also my cats, I'm a little bit allergic to my cats. So that combo is absolutely brutal. And so, you know, I take Allegra every day. Is it Allegra? Yeah. I used to take Claritin. I like, I've taken it all. And

And I use Flonase, the stuff that you like snort. And I use like allergy eye drops. But sometimes, even through all that, I'm still left with itchy ears. And there's nothing worse than itchy ears. Because it's like deep, deep inside your ears, this insane itch. And if you stick your finger in there and start itching, you're not even going to remotely hit the itchy part. So it's like not something that you can physically itch.

You can try to like snort almost to try to vibrate the inner ear, like kind of like a, like that. But then if you do that in public, you know, everyone's looking at you like you're a pig, you know, like you're disgusting because you're snorting, I don't know, at a restaurant or something. But sometimes the pain is so excruciating from the itch that it's like you have to snort a little. You just have to. I did hear a life hack somewhat recently from someone who I was talking about my itchy ears with them and they were like, put,

a little bit of cortisone cream, like the steroid. I think it's a steroid cream. I don't know. I don't know what it is. Anyway, put a little bit of cortisone on a Q-tip and then rub it in your ear. Anyway, I started doing that. It actually does help, but sometimes I'm out and about and I don't have that and I'm just stuck with itchy ears and I'm snorting and snorting and snorting and nothing's helping. It is one of the most excruciating, uncomfortable feelings ever. And for me, it's a pet peeve. Yeah. Okay. Moving on to avocados.

Okay, I love avocados, which is actually interesting because as a kid, I absolutely hated, hated avocados. I thought the texture was disgusting. I didn't understand the point because I was like, they don't even have a flavor. But then avocado toast kind of went viral on Instagram and...

I was so internet brain as a young person. Like I was so obsessed with the internet and I was so like easily swayed by the internet that I was like, fuck it. I need to, I need to try avocado toast so that I can post it on my Instagram because I was so obsessed with social media even before. So I tried it at this particular cafe in San Francisco. It was called the mill, this cafe. And they have the most amazing, like thick cut. I think it's like

spelt sourdough toast or something like that. Don't quote me on that, but it's some sort of like yummy homemade bread, thick cut with like a gorgeous layer of avocado on it with a little, you know, flaky salt. Yum. And I really wanted to try it because I was like, it's so aesthetic on Instagram. So I tried it, fell in love with avocado through that. And then have been loving avocado ever since. Like I love it. I love it in sushi. I love it

on toast. I love it in like a bowl or a salad. I love avocado.

However, when it comes to buying avocados and integrating it into my diet when I'm cooking for myself, I hate avocados, okay? There are so many challenges with avocados, okay? Depending on the breed of avocado, the outside, the outer shell feels different when it's ripe. Like there are certain types of avocados that are super soft no matter what. Like the skin is really thin and even when they're not fully ripe, they'll still be kind of soft. And

And then there's other types of avocados that have thick, like dark, you know, sort of, you know, outer coating. And when you touch that, even when it's perfectly ripe, it's still rock hard on the outside. And then there's this sort of light pack of like,

There's like a little stem. If you flick that off and it's like a deep green, I think, then it's ripe. But what happens when you flick that thing off and it's like not the right color and then you like leave it there and then it oxidizes and then you can't use that anymore? It's just, it's like, okay. And then also, I tend to buy multiple avocados at once. Usually I'll buy two that are almost ripe, if not ripe.

And then I'll buy like one that's maybe like a few days out. And then I'll buy like two more that are maybe like, that maybe are going to take about a week to write. They never are ripe at the right times. I can never get the timing right. Like I'll crack one open. It's rotten. Throw it out. Okay.

Okay. Crack another one open. All right. This one's a little bit under, like it's not quite ripe enough, but I'll eat it anyway. Then I'm eating like a rock hard avocado. It's so annoying. And then I like put the other ones in the fridge to let them ripen slower. And then like, by the time I finally get to them, they're overripe. It's like, I just can never get it right. And to make matters worse, when it comes to avocados, the other day I was cutting open an avocado and

and the skin was super hard for some reason. Like, I don't know why, but it was really like woody. And so I like cut into it and I was, you know, trying to twist the avocado around the knife, around the pit. You know what I mean? And it like wasn't sliding through and I started kind of pushing it. Anyway, to make a long story short, I cut the fuck out of my finger, like deep. Like I looked down at my finger. It's actually really healed now. It looks amazing.

The body is a beautiful thing. I looked down at my finger and I kind of pulled the cut open a little bit. It's probably, it was probably one of the deepest cooking knife cuts ever.

I've ever experienced. And I was like, oof, this one might be stitches. This one might be stitches. But I literally squeezed my finger for like an hour with all of my might. Okay. Squeezed it, squeezed it, squeezed it. I was like, I don't want to get stitches. Like, please, I'm busy. I don't want to. So I squeezed my finger as tight as I could for like an hour. And then finally I took like the, I had like a paper towel around it while I was squeezing it for literally like an hour. And I took it off and I looked and it was like,

And I kind of lightly pulled on it and it was like sticking. And I was like, great, we're good. Put a little Neosporin on there, wrapped it up in a bandaid, quilted a day. Now it's healed. Everything's fine. But due to the injury, I'm all, I'm even more angry at avocados. Okay. Moving on. Speaking of cooking,

is storing pots in pans. So annoying. I have four drawers underneath my stove, and then I have one drawer underneath my oven, and that's where I store my pots and pans. And I swear, there's no good way to do it. There's just no good way to do it. Every time I go in there to grab a pot or a pan, I'm fucking making a ruckus, having to move

pots to get to the pot that I want. It's loud. I don't even think I have excessive amounts of pots and pans either. I think I have exactly the amount that I would need. Because, you know, if you cook, you need, you know, usually like three different sizes of pots for boiling water or, you know, making whatever. You need like a really large frying pan of sorts. You need two or three other sizes. I

When I'm cooking certain meals, I'm like boiling water for one thing. And then I'm cooking the protein in one pan. And then I'm cooking the vegetables in another pan. And then I'm cooking, you know, like, I don't know, there's a lot going on. I'm warming up a sauce in another pan. Like I'm using a lot of pans. So it's like, I actually do use all of them, but it's just a fucking bitch. Like getting pans in and out of, of the drawers or, you know, if, if,

people who like have one of those hanging racks for their pots and pans. And so their pots and pans are like hanging from the ceiling. That's better than,

It's easier when it comes to grabbing a pot or a pan, but then you have like a bunch of pots and pans out and it can look kind of cluttered. And I personally don't like that look. Actually, in my home growing up at my dad's house, we had pots and pans hanging from the ceiling and it was fine. But like if we were to remove that, I think it would look cleaner. However, my dad's house is...

there's not enough storage. That is a small house. So like it makes sense for convenience. But anyway, I don't know. I just pot and pan storage pisses me off. It just bothers me. And I feel like there's no right way to do it. I have yet to figure it out. Unless you have like a full industrial kitchen, it's really hard to store the pots and the pans.

Speaking of something that's just sort of annoying, putting on and taking off jewelry. There's something about taking off and putting on jewelry that really bothers me. And I honestly think that that's the reason why I tend to just wear the same jewelry every day. Like I don't tend to use jewelry as an accessory as much.

Like I'm much more into like sunglasses or like a hat or like a weird bag or, you know, like a bonnet or whatever. Like there's something about taking off and putting on jewelry that makes me so frustrated. You know, you're dealing with tiny clasps. You're

You're dealing with earring holes that are finicky. A few of my earring holes are not punched through straight. So getting an earring in is really frustrating because I'll get it halfway through and then I kind of have to wiggle it around and try to get it all the way through. There's something about the experience that just makes me feel overstimulated and frustrated. And I just hate it. I love the way jewelry looks. I think jewelry is the most fun accessory. But

But I prefer to just stick to simple stuff because I hate putting it on and taking it off so much. Like when I'm on social media and I see a picture of somebody who has like a full neck full of like 20 necklaces and then they have like a bunch of bangles and bracelets on and like 20 rings. I'm like that just looking at that makes me stressed out. I feel overstimulated just looking at it. The process of getting it on. I mean, that's like an hour. Okay. That's a lot of time.

The process of taking it off before the shower, there's another 30 minutes.

Uh, the feeling of wearing it all day. Oh my God. So much. It's heavy. It's like, you know, constricting. I don't know. I, I struggle with jewelry, even though I love it. I really love the way it looks. And, you know, I have certain staple pieces that I don't leave the house without. Like I always have a hoop on, you know, I often wear my little Casio watch or if I'm dressed up, I'll wear, you know, a fancy watch. Um,

But in general, I'm pretty chill with the jewelry. It's just, I don't know. There's something about it that makes me feel overstimulated. Okay, moving on. When you want to rebuy something that you love, either because it got worn out or you lost it or whatever, but you don't know how to rebuy it. Okay, let me give you an example. Like I have a pair of white socks in my sock drawer that I absolutely love. Okay, they're probably my favorite. I have no clue where they came from.

Did I wear them home from a photo shoot and like my stylist got them? Did I buy them myself? Like from like Target? Like where did I get these socks? I don't know. I don't know. They're not in a pack. I don't have any other ones. I can't remember where they came from, but they're like my favorite socks. And I've tried to find one similar by like Googling keywords. No luck. No luck. I have no idea where they came from and I'll never be able to buy them again. And the thing that's so sad is that there's a hole in the toe.

Or another example would be if you have like a vintage piece. Like I have the most amazing green pants. I talk about these green pants kind of a lot on the internet. I feel like I've mentioned these pants. I got them from a vintage store. They're like 1950s men, male work pants. They're all of green. They're beautifully worn in. They're baggy on me, but they like kind of a boxy, cool fit. These have been my favorite pants for like the past two years. I wear them all

all the time. They're like a staple for me. And it stresses me out beyond belief that I can never find these pants again. These are one of one. If I want something similar, I have to take similar fabric to a tailor and have a tailor make them for me. They'll never be the same. It drives me nuts. I love these pants so much. It causes me anxiety because I'm like, what happens when these pants get a fatal rip? You know, I'm screwed.

Another example would be like at a random gift shop, I buy an incredible soap that like smells really good. And then when I go online to reorder the soap, it's like nowhere to be found. Like it's only for sale wholesale. And like, you know, it was only for sale at that weird little boutique. Like it's only for sale, weird boutiques like that.

heartbreaking. That is another pet peeve of mine. But I also am like aware of the fact that it's a very modern luxury that we can rebuy something and get like if we buy a T-shirt and we love it, we can go and buy three more that are exactly the same and we can order it and it'll arrive to our house in 48 hours. That's a luxury. So I know that it's like, Emma, stop being a brat.

Not everything is replaceable. And that's actually what makes things special. I'm aware of all of this. However, I would love to be able to rebuy those socks. I love that pair of socks. I briefly paused this episode to let you know that this episode is brought to you by eBay. We all have that piece. You know the one, the thing that's so you, you've basically become known for it. And if you don't have yours yet,

You'll find it on eBay. Let me put you on, people. eBay is where you'll find those one-of-a-kind, can't-stop-researching, stay-up-dreaming-about pieces again and again. I'm talking about that Miu Miu off-the-runway red leather bomber, that Cousteau Barcelona top with the cowboy on it, or that fleece in the 2017 colorway. All of these finds are on eBay. They even offer millions of main character pieces backed by authenticity guarantee.

eBay is the place for pre-loved in vintage fashion. eBay, things people love. Now let's get back to the episode. The next thing is definitely a pet peeve. Okay, there's no other way to slice it. This is a pet peeve. I hate how low-waisted all women's underwear and women's bikini bottoms are.

I'm sorry, why do you, like my vagina's coming up. I personally feel the most comfortable when my underwear or my bikini bottoms come up to like a healthy distance above my vagina.

It's insane how often I'll try on a bathing suit or whatever. And I'm like, this is so low-waisted. I feel like I'm naked. I'm barely wearing any fabric. This is so low-waisted that in the front, you can almost see my vagina. And in the back, you can almost see my butt crack. What is happening? I don't necessarily need something so high-waisted that it's like...

all the way up to my belly button. I don't actually usually want that. I want something that's at a comfortable, flattering, healthy height, right in between, maybe a bit closer to the belly button with proper butt coverage where it's like coming up high enough where, you know, I'm not worried about moving the wrong way and then my hole coming out. Like, I don't know, in underwear or even worse, like underpants.

Underwear shopping is so annoying for me because, well, I mean, I end up just buying granny panties and there's no problem for me. But it's so hard to find a cute pair of underwear that's not so low-waisted that it's like pointless. I like to feel secure. I like to feel like my underwear is like...

hugging my abdomen. That's the point of underwear for me. I mean, the point of underwear is also to like cover up the coochie or whatever and like protect it from the pants. Listen, I was commando for like two years. I just didn't wear underwear. It was very weird, but it was my thing. And I still don't really know why I did it. And I don't really, because now I don't wear underwear and I'm like, ew, this feels terrible. But for some reason, there was a period of time where it felt comfortable for me. So listen, I won't yuck my own yum. That was something that I liked.

But I'd rather not wear underwear at all, which is something that I find uncomfortable these days.

than wear underwear that are super low-waisted. Because the other thing is, wearing super low-waisted underwear under pants, they have nothing to hold on to. I need my underwear to hold on to my hips a little bit to stay up. If they're so low, then they're falling down. It's like, why am I even wearing underwear? And I also don't like pressure and tension on my low hip. I like pressure and tension on my abdomen. That's where I like the feeling of pressure from the underwear. I

I also find that low-waisted underwear and bikinis are uncomfortable. Oh my God, my whole tummy is out. Like I just want a little bit of protection. I don't know. It just feels better to me. Anyway, I don't know. Okay, moving on. Moving on to, okay, imagine this. You're out at dinner with friends. It's a Saturday night.

Maybe you guys are going to a birthday party afterwards. You're going to have a fun night. You're excited. You look really hot. You're in like a hot outfit. You did your own makeup and you're at dinner. You just ate your appetizer and had a few sips of your water and you're realizing that your lip liner is sort of coming off and your lip probably needs, you know, a retouch. So you go into your bag and you pull out your lip liner and you open it up and that thing is dull. Dull as can be.

just smooth on the top. There is nothing more annoying than that. Now you're like, fuck, should I like try to sharpen my lip liner right now at the dinner table with my knife? Do I just go home? I am so emotionally, like I'm almost like emotionally reliant on lip liner. It's like a pacifier for me. Having overlined lips makes me feel like I'm myself. Before I have overlined lips, I'm like, ew, who is this freak? No, I'm

I listen, I don't always need an overlined lip. Like my lip isn't overlined right now, but like when, well, I kind of put on a lot of tinted lip balm, so maybe it does look kind of overlined, but there's something about it. I just think it really, it really makes the lips pop in a way that's so beautiful. And I just love lip liner and there's nothing worse than a night out and realizing, oh my God, I brought the lip liner. I thought I was prepared, but no, it's not sharpened.

It's not sharpened. Now what? So annoying. But even worse than that is when you just forget your lip products altogether. That has literally ruined an evening for me. I can't even tell you, if you have a full face of makeup on and you built this makeup look with a lip, it looks off without a lip. So if you didn't bring one, then you're like, oh my God, I'm going to look weird the whole night. Listen, does anyone care? No. Is anyone going to notice? No. But it's a personal thing. Okay.

And I love to have my lips juicy, plump, and overlined. So when I forget it, it's heartbreaking. I overline my lips so far that sometimes I get comments that are like, Emma got her lips done. It's like, no, baby. No. I just overline so, so high that it's almost touching my nose. Yeah. Yeah.

Moving on. When I want to wear a certain sock with a shoe, like let's say I'm wearing like a cute little outfit where like an olive green sock would look cute. And I'm wearing like a cute little pair of ballet flats. It all makes sense in my head. Then I go to put the socks and the shoes on and the socks that I had imagined for the outfit are

are too thick to fit in the shoe. There are certain shoes that just need a certain type of sock. Like I have certain boots that I need to wear with a thick sock. I have certain ballet flats that I need to wear with a thin sock. There is nothing more frustrating than when I'm like, oh, I have this really cute idea and I want to wear like a fun pop of color sock. And then I can't wear it because it's too uncomfortable. That is heartbreaking.

And that is a little pet peeve of mine. Moving on to hoodies that have a hood that's too small. The whole point of a hoodie is that you can pop that hood up and feel maximum coziness, okay?

I don't understand why brands create hoodies that have teeny tiny little hoods that are tight, tight, tight on the head to the point where it's uncomfortable and like not even wearable. And then it ruins the look of the entire hoodie because a hood is,

should be loose enough that like the rest of the hoodie still fits normally. If the hood's too tight, it like makes the back of the hoodie like flat and straight because it's like pulling on the fabric on the back.

So the hoodie doesn't fit properly anymore. This is a pet peeve of mine because I can't tell you how many times I've been looking for a hoodie, shopping for a hoodie, and I've tried one on and everything about it's been perfect, but the hood is just too tight. And it's like, what a shame. This could have been an amazing hoodie. Like my favorite hoodies have massive hoods, you know, that I'm just drowning in. That's what I like. That's what I love. Okay, moving on. When an incredible piece of clothing is destroyed by a massive logo.

heartbreaking. I can't tell you how many times I've been shopping around and I see like an amazing pair of jeans from afar. And I pick them up and I'm like, whoa, they look amazing. And then I turn them around and like across the butt, it says like a huge brand name. And it's like, or like I see a t-shirt and it has a big logo on the front and I look at it closer and I'm like, damn, if this didn't have a big logo on it, it would be so chic. It's such a shame. It's such a shame. And

I don't know. I'm at a point in my life where like I avoid brand names altogether. Like it's a really big turnoff when I'm buying stuff if there's a huge brand name on it.

I don't know. I I'd rather the piece speak for itself. I want people to judge my outfit based on how I styled it, not based on what brand it is. And so, you know, that's sort of one of my fashion philosophies. And so I avoid branding at all costs. And so it's always a shame when I find something magic, but there's a big logo on it. And so it loses its magic immediately. Um,

Okay, next. I'm the person at the restaurant when I go out with friends or with family who orders for the table. Okay, that's my job. I'm the one who's like, all right, everyone shut the fuck up. Mommy's here. You know, like let mommy handle it. All right. That's for a few reasons. Number one, because I'm a control freak. Number two, because I love food and I'm like kind of, I'm not a foodie. Like I wouldn't call myself a foodie.

a foodie, but I definitely am really into food. Like I love, love, love watching cooking shows. I love trying new restaurants. I love like experimental food and flavors and

I think I have good taste in food, I would say. You know, not the best. I'm still like, I'm not the most adventurous with food. Like you won't see me eating like escargot. Like that scares me. I'm pretty much a vegetarian. Occasionally I have fish. As I've gotten older, I've experimented more with fish and stuff. Even despite that, like I am very, I'm the most, I'm usually the most into food out of everyone I'm with. I'm the one who has the most knowledge and

Like somebody will be like, what's hollandaise sauce? And I'll be like, don't you worry. I'll totally explain this to you. Or, you know, it's something like an endive salad. And somebody's like, what's endive? I've never heard of that. And I'm like, it's a bitter green baby. Don't worry. I will explain this to you. It's like romaine lettuce, but bitter. Imagine it. And it's tiny. Like I'm the one at the table telling everyone what the foods are. So I'm usually the one that places the order for the table. If we're doing like a family style sort of dinner,

Um, I hear what everybody wants to eat and then I round it out by like adding a few more things. Like I always make sure that there's a good amount of vegetables and fiber, a good amount of protein and a good amount of starch so that everybody can have a well-rounded meal and feel satiated and healthy and happy afterwards. Okay. That's my job. That is my job.

my pet peeve is when I misread the situation or I don't predict the portion sizes well enough and we have too much food. There's nothing worse than having too much food. I hate wasting food. I want every single plate clean. And I hate taking home leftovers. I'd so much rather order the perfect amount of food. It's just sometimes not possible. And I

And I also like to order the right amount of food so that everybody's still a little bit hungry enough for dessert. It's the art of ordering food for me. And like, there's an art to it. And when I fuck it up, I just get sad because I'm like, I failed a little bit.

Okay, moving on. There's something about when I'm laying in bed and something either falls off my nightstand, like I'm reaching over to get my water bottle and I accidentally knock it over and it falls on the ground, or I'm reaching to get my remote off the nightstand and I knock it over and it falls on the ground, or I'm looking for the TV remote in my bed and then it

like falls onto the ground or I'm like looking for my phone and I knock it off the bed and it falls on the ground. There's something about that that drives me nuts. Oh my God, it makes me so mad.

The sound of something falling off of my bed or off my nightstand onto the ground annoys me. But then beyond that, like being comfortable in bed and then like trying to reach down to get it. Oh my God, it just drives me crazy. It makes me so mad. And I feel bad because whenever somebody is, let's say, sleeping in my bed, like a boyfriend, for example, like if a boyfriend...

is like in bed with me and something falls off the bed, like if they drop something off the bed or like something falls off the nightstand, like I'm like, I'm so patient. I'm so chill. But there's something about that. Like even when somebody else does it, like it's annoying when I do it, but it actually bothers me when somebody else does it. I don't know why it bothers me so much. I'm not like yelling at anyone or anything, but I'm like,

internally just like annoyed. And I feel like it takes a lot for me to especially get annoyed with somebody else. Like if I drop something or whatever, if I make a loud sound from dropping something that really annoys me when somebody else does something kind of annoying, I'm much more patient with others than myself. So the fact that it annoys me when other people do it, that's how, you know, it really pisses me off. It's so random, but it bothers me.

Next, reaching into a little bag of makeup wipes. All right. Like one of the ones that has a little seal top and the wipes being dry. Oh, it's so annoying. Makeup wipes need to be a little bit wetter than they are. They need to be soaked. Do you know what I mean? They're never wet enough. And after a week or two of the package being open, they're really not wet enough. That is a pet peeve of mine.

And, you know, I don't use makeup wipes that often, but usually I use them in like working settings. Like for example, like for after a photo shoot where I'm wearing a bunch of makeup, I keep makeup wipes in my car so that I can take makeup off immediately after the shoot because usually I'm wearing a lot of makeup and have a lot of product on my face and it's just nice to like get it all off before I go home. Or if I like have to run errands after a photo shoot, I need to take my makeup off.

Because a lot of times it's like editorial and I have like a big smoky eye and it like doesn't make sense. So, you know, it makes sense for that. Or when I'm traveling, you know, it's more efficient to bring makeup wipes than it is to bring like makeup remover and like little pads and like little towels and stuff. So, you know, I don't use them that much, which makes it even worse because it's like I won't use wipes for like two months and then I'll use them again and then they'll be all dry. Oh, it's just so annoying. And you can like wet them again, but they're never the same. Yeah.

Next pet peeve. When you're in a public bathroom and there's nowhere to put your bag, you know, you shuffle into the stall and you have your purse and you're like, all right, where's the hook? You know, you're looking around for the hook and there's no hook. And so you're like, fuck, all right, should I put it on top of like the toilet paper holder? But sometimes that's not possible. It's not wide enough, not big enough. So you're like, fuck. So then you're like trying to wiggle down your pants and

with your bag on. Then you like sit down and put the bag on your lap, but then you're like peeing and you're like scared that pee is splashing up onto your bag and so you're like, ew, and so you're like holding your bag in the air. And then...

you know, you're like, okay, time to wipe now. And then you're like, wait, what do I do with the bag while I wipe? It's a mess. And you're like, I'm definitely not putting the bag on the floor. Then I have to throw the bag away. No, I'm kidding. But you know, it's like in a public bathroom, the floor, no thanks. And then you're carrying that bag around and it's like on your body and you're touching it with your hands and stuff for the rest of the day. So that's a pet peeve. Okay. Next.

in Los Angeles, in Beverly Hills, there are a few iconic six-way stop sign intersections. Okay. So we all are aware of the four-way stop, right? Even that can get kind of overstimulating sometimes at a four-way stop if there are four cars, but it's manageable.

Well, imagine if you added two or maybe it's even three more. It might be a seven-way stop sign. I'm not kidding. It's insane. Like, wait, is it a seven-way? I feel like it's like eight cars. Hold on. Let me find it. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yeah, because there's two cars coming that way. Oh, no, wait. One, two, three, four, five. Okay, it's really just a six-way stop.

So there's six cars or more. There's actually more, I feel like. I feel like there's like seven or eight. Anyway, there's a ridiculous amount of cars all at a six-way stop. And this is a very popular intersection. So there's always a pileup of cars.

all waiting for their turn to go. And there's a massive, expansive space in the middle where like cars are shuffling through trying to figure out whose turn it is. It is a mess, okay? I like, I ask, I beg of you, look up this intersection on Google. It's the Cannon Drive intersection in Beverly Hills, six-way intersection. It is a mess. I've seen so many accidents.

at this intersection. I've probably driven through that intersection and witnessed probably three accidents because it's ridiculous. There are six cars trying to figure out whose turn it is, and it's so busy at all hours of the day. It's ridiculous. They need a stoplight desperately, desperately. It's so bad.

So this intersection is my pet peeve. And it's also like, we're in Beverly Hills. This is fancy. This is like, are we in Beverly Hills here? You guys can put up some fucking traffic lights. Like this is a danger hazard. I've seen so many accidents at this intersection and understandably so.

They don't train you in driving school for a six-way stop sign intersection. They don't train you for that. And it's actually ridiculous. It's impossible to keep track of who went when. It's impossible to keep track of whose turn it is. And so at a certain point, you just have to go. And when you start inching out, chances are another car is going to go in front of you. It's a mess. It's a mess. Pets.

pet peeve. Okay. Next, this is a simple one. Wearing makeup when it's hot out. I just hate the feeling. I don't think I even need to explain this. Like, does anyone like wearing makeup when it's hot out? It's the worst. You're like boiling in the sun and it feels like you're wearing clothes on your face. You know what I mean? If you feel like there's a layer of something on your face and you feel the sweat sort of breaking through it,

And it makes your makeup look splotchy sometimes. And you're stressed out about how your makeup looks and it feels like shit. It's like just not fun. So that's another pet peeve that I thought of. Moving on. When you almost get a picture of something, almost, and then you miss it. Okay, I'll give you an example of something that happened to me recently.

A few months ago, it was kind of a rainy day. It was such a beautiful foggy day that I decided to go look out the window. And I look out and there are two ducks swimming around in my pool. And I love ducks. I love ducks. I love pigeons. I love birds in general. I love, love, love birds. And I was so excited. I was like, oh my God, it's like I have pet ducks swimming

swimming in my pool. This is so cool. This has never happened before. I've never seen ducks on my property. I love ducks. So I was so excited. And so I get out my video camera because I wanted to film it with my video camera. And I set up my tripod and I'm about to press record. Boom, they fly away. Heartbroken. The worst feeling. I mean, I think the silver lining is like, well, then it's a memory forever, but it's still so heartbreaking. There's nothing worse.

Actually, there's a lot of things that are worse, but it's not fun. It's very sad when that happens.

And last but not least, when you buy frozen fruit or frozen vegetables or like frozen anything, and it's a hot day, and when you're bringing it home, it melts like immediately. And then you put it in the fridge when you get home, and then it freezes into a ball that's ultimately impossible to work with. This happened to me recently. I bought frozen raspberries and frozen bananas from the grocery store because those are the fruits I use in my smoothie. They were in the car a little bit too long and they melted.

And they froze into balls that are truly like I had to cut around it. Like I had to cut the bag open, cut around it, get out the frozen fruit, take a knife and cut the big ball of frozen fruit into chunks that I could then work with. But it was, I mean, which actually ended up working fine. It's even worse when you buy like veggie burgers or something like that.

Oh my god, so annoying.

And that's it. Those are all my complaints for today. Those are all of my pet peeves for today. The list is ever-growing. I'll definitely do another episode like this again at some point. But until then, those are all my pet peeves for right now. If you enjoyed this episode, I've made quite a few other pet peeve episodes. So...
