And I also just think generally, if you want to be more attractive, make attractive choices, right?

Pick up a book instead of a TV remote.

Pick up whole food instead of fast food.

Journal instead of wasting time on social media.

Say no to distractions and temptations and say yes to your children, to your work, to your responsibilities.

Every day we are faced with all sorts of choices, ugly choices and beautiful choices.

Who we are and how we look literally and figuratively is predicated on making the right choice between these two things.

I don't know if you've ever done any live shopping, but it's blowing up.

And it's real people selling.

Like if you're going to an estate sale or a really cool, trendy shop, not, you know, overpriced stuff, not produced stuff.

There's no ads, no marketing.

And people are on there explaining their stuff, why you'd like it, what's cool about it, where they got it.
