26.44 - 51.256 Lisa Fong

Hi. Oh, that was aggressive. Have you got chat today? Yeah, I do. I actually find life really hard. Yeah. At the end of my workout today, I said, I don't know about you guys, but do you get like a little bit of pang of anxiety about getting kids out of the house? Like after you finish your workout, you're like, okay, I've got a little window to have a coffee.

0

51.276 - 80.723 Lisa Fong

So I'll try and just focus on that and enjoy that moment. But yeah, I've just got these other really pressing tasks to get done that I get like a sort of surge of anxiety of like, you know, It's just a bit hard. And you've got a lot, you know. You've got more than the average person. You do. Yeah, but it's so funny because then you think, oh, yeah, but what's she complaining about?

0

80.743 - 110.987 Lisa Fong

Her kids are old. They should be all just getting themselves ready, doing their breakfast, getting their lunches. They should just be doing that. And that's understandable that you can say that. But until you're in it, you don't realize that it's still really hard. And I also have really, really noticed my eyelids lidding, hooding, lidding. Like I've never noticed this now.

0

111.087 - 119.751 Lisa Fong

I'm into my 44th year of life, which is a privilege. Mm-hmm. It's just so funny that I see these hooded eyelids now.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights and challenges of Mother's Day?

119.771 - 139.336 Lisa Fong

And then I think in my 45th year of life, do they hood down even more so that by the time I'm 49, I don't have eyeballs visible? What's it called, the surgery? Like a bleph, bleph, bleph something? It costs too much money. Bleph past to see? What is it? But I wonder, is that normal?

0
0

140.093 - 167.069 Lisa Fong

Yeah, it's normal. Some people don't have, Anne Hathaway does not have hooded eyelids. You've been spending time in Christchurch this weekend, normal. Anne Hathaway does not have hooded eyelids. Nah, she ain't. She's looking really beautiful in that film, isn't she? Has she had blasphemy? She's probably had a number of things that she has access to. I have a friend.

0

167.87 - 191.734 Lisa Fong

The clip of Emily Blunt with her sort of like ice roller thing and her eye patches on. I thought of you. Yes, so did mum. I have never done that. I'm wondering about, I look, it's really, really funny because six months ago I was looking at people's necks and then I've sort of taken attention to my neck and I don't feel as like,

0

192.929 - 218.374 Lisa Fong

conscious of my neck anymore i've been really good at moisturizing wow what do you think it's gotten better it's looking pretty good i think that it's got more under control it's not as crazy are you gatekeeping anything what do you mean I put my tretinoin on. Tretinoin, yeah. We haven't talked about tretinoin. No, we haven't because I don't know about – I just haven't really.

218.394 - 233.917 Lisa Fong

So tretinoin is a cream that you can get from your doctor. And a podcast listener told me about it a while ago. She was like, Lise, I've been meaning to tell you about this cream you can get from the doctor.

Chapter 3: How is the new Devil Wears Prada movie received?

233.937 - 252.012 Lisa Fong

And it's like – retinol retinol retinol um high dose retinol but you have to be very careful when using it and you can only get it from the doctor so i went to the doctor like i don't know how long ago probably two months ago yeah it would be

0

252.717 - 270.537 Lisa Fong

And I got tretinoin, and I just use it as part of – it's just like a cream, and you have to be very careful with using it, and you need to read the instructions, and you need to talk to your doctor about it. But it's just like a cream. So I cleanse my face at night and put this cream on, then I put moisturizer on and stuff. And I've popped – You're doing it on your neck.

0

270.738 - 300.187 Lisa Fong

Well, I very carefully introduced my neck to this cream. You've got to be very careful. What's your neck say? My neck's saying – Lovely to meet you, Triti 90. Anyway, hilarious now that I'm, like, looking at eyelids. So, yeah, that's my story. What do you look at? Foreheads. Does your trick go on your lids? Can't, can it? No way. Yeah, so, but my friend from rugby, she's had that operation.

0

300.828 - 315.664 Lisa Fong

Oh, wow. And I remember when she had it done because her husband was like, yeah, she's not going to be here for, like, a couple of weeks. She's just had something done. And I'm like... Does she look awesome? What has she done? And, like...

0

315.644 - 341.5 Lisa Fong

he sort of sneakily tells me things but I don't he's just like she doesn't want anyone to know anyway she she's since told me that she's had that done and yeah they look great but like she said oh it was fine but it cost her so much money how much does it cost well I can't really remember but I think she possibly said like don't quote me because I could be wrong because my retention is not great but like

342.492 - 348.583 Lisa Fong

Between $10,000 and $20,000. Yeah, right. Wow. What's it called?

Chapter 4: What insights are shared about managing anxiety as a parent?

349.044 - 379.13 Lisa Fong

Bless for me. And you can't really like, you know, with forehead wrinkles, you could have a fringe, like mum's got a fringe. I can't really have a fringe over my eyelids. No, blepharoplasty. You could have fake. Oh, but maybe a lash lift would help. Blepharoplasty. I had a lash lift for the first time last week. Yeah, you told me. And you thought it was quite uncomfortable.

0

379.19 - 380.734 Lisa Fong

But is it a great result?

0

380.714 - 408.24 Lisa Fong

nah I don't care oh like all good but like nah too long too expensive not no oh and I saw my neighbor and she does eyebrows and stuff and I said oh I need to come to you because like I don't ever do that kind of thing where I would just do it as if I was going on holiday then yeah cool she was like yeah you should come you should come and then I said your eyebrows are so nice she said yours are better than mine and I'm like now that she said that I'm like well why would I go

0

408.22 - 409.344 Lisa Fong

Oh, yeah. Do anything.

0

409.805 - 410.086 Jessica Mizzi

Yeah, nice.

410.107 - 427.89 Lisa Fong

But then I was thinking of Anne Hathaway's eyebrows, how they were rude about her eyebrows in the movie Devil Wears Prada. And I'm like, her eyebrows were great. What were they on about? And mine like Anne Hathaway's. Great brows. It was just part of the film, wasn't it? She had great brows. Just Emily Blunt being a bitch. I like her role.

430.052 - 453.542 Lisa Fong

So the lash lift I would do, say, for a holiday because I can't really wear mascara because I put mascara on and it all ends up up here. So this definitely does something. I do like it, but it's just a bit too long and a bit too expensive really to repeat for me. Not worth that. What did it cost you? For that and my eyebrows, normal thing that I do to my eyebrows, I think it was $100.

Chapter 5: What role does social media play in parenting today?

453.622 - 469.059 Lisa Fong

Holy moly. I'm a bit conflicted about what we need to spend money on. So I get my nails done. Yeah, and that's spend years. I've dabbled in my anti-wrinkle, which I'm not going to be doing anymore. For the foreseeable.

0

469.079 - 469.7 Charlotte Twigg

For the foreseeable.

0

470.02 - 505.379 Lisa Fong

Not with this, yeah. But for this year, I'm not doing it. And my nails, I keep thinking that's an expense too. Yeah, I know. But like... Yeah. I just figure, yeah, the nail thing, you get addicted, don't you? Yeah. Are nails even, like, that cool? Like, when I see people without nails now, I'm kind of like, lovely. Lovely. Love that. Are you a bit like that? Yeah. Same. Not my nails, though.

0

505.439 - 526.66 Lisa Fong

They look really good. Neither, and my hands are gross. The tretinoin thing is really funny because I followed suit to try and go to the doctor, just FYI, everybody. I went last week. And then I got given something different called Differin, and it's – Having since Googled the shit out of it, it feels like it's just not as good.

0

526.68 - 533.85 Lisa Fong

Well, the reason is Jess has texted me going, I've put it on or whatever. And I was like, have you made sure you've taken it off?

Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about the pressures of modern parenting?

533.89 - 548.94 Lisa Fong

She was like, what do you mean? I said, you've got to put it on for like two minutes the first night and then you wash it off. And then the next night you put it on for like two and a half minutes and then you wash it off. And then the next night you put it on for like five minutes and then you wash it off.

0

549.561 - 573.299 Lisa Fong

And then you do that for a few weeks until you can build up your skin so you don't burn your skin. It's quite potent if you don't get your skin prepared. My skin seemed to take to it really well. I didn't flake. So it says so when you've used this tretinoin cream. every night and you've built up, you know, and you've got to make sure you have a thick moisturizer and stuff like that.

0

573.359 - 584.382 Lisa Fong

You even can sandwich it. You can put the moisturizer on first with a bit of the tretinoin and then moisturizer again. You've got to be careful because you can, your skin will start to flake after like,

0

584.362 - 606.943 Lisa Fong

I think it was like four weeks three or four weeks you might find that and I didn't actually find that really and I think it's because I've had um you know I used to go to my friend I've been three times for that needling and that stimulates when you do that needling I think it stimulates like cell renewal and all that kind of stuff so my skin kind of took to it quite well um

0

606.923 - 638.74 Lisa Fong

So Jess is like, what? No, the doctor did not tell me to do that. But then she Googled and was like, oh, I've been given something different and it's not as potent. It's a bit more gentle. But yeah, it's worked out totally fine for me. And I think that I really feel like My skin is rejuvenated. But then I was looking at old photos like a year ago and my skin looks the same. Yeah, yeah.

638.76 - 654.361 Lisa Fong

It's all bullshitting. Probably just looking at ourselves far too long, you know? But my doctor that gave it to me is an older lady, the one that said use QV and this will be great for you. She's just like, you don't need all those really expensive moisturizers and serums and stuff.

654.381 - 663.576 Lisa Fong

So that was kind of what I was like, okay, well, and she's like mum's age and she was lovely and just she was really like pro it. So that was cool. It's looking very...

Chapter 7: What are the humorous moments shared about gift-giving?

664.72 - 692.568 Lisa Fong

glowy though which is which is different like it hasn't been as glowy as it is now so do you know with the eyelid thing I was looking at like the women that have got these lovely you know some women's eyes have got this like a I remember mum saying years ago about there was someone I don't even know but making comment on there's a um a big gap between the eyebrow and the eye.

0

692.588 - 717.812 Lisa Fong

So you've got like a lovely eyeshadow palette. Do you know what I'm saying? No. Well, I wouldn't put eyeshadow on my eyelids because I just feel like there's no point. There's no eyelid to shadow. Do you know what I mean? I don't know what you mean. I don't really know what you're talking about. You said you remember mum saying something about what?

0

719.311 - 747.698 Lisa Fong

I just remember there was a girl and I don't know. That put eyeshadow on or who didn't? No, like with your eye region, you can have a bigger gap between the eye mascara, like the eye, what are these called? Lashes. Lashes. And the brow. So then your brow. So you've got more space to work with like makeup or eyeshadow. You've got quite a nice space.

0

748.91 - 781.848 Lisa Fong

But are you saying if you've got a big space, you should do something? I'm just lovely for that, and I don't. And then with my hooded eyelids now, the eyeshadow would, not that I own any, would collect in the two hoods. Lucky I've got eyes and I'm alive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Change the subject. Yeah, okay. So we both saw Devils Wear Prada. Devils Wear Prada? Devil wears Prada last night.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts reflect on their relationships with their children?

782.289 - 804.667 Lisa Fong

And you went earlier than I and you text me and I was on my way home and you said, have you seen it? I said, yeah, I have. That was fun. And you said, I nearly fell asleep three times. Hey, that's interesting. I think you've got quite high standards across lots of facets of life, eh? Yeah. Or you don't like watching much.

0

806.19 - 826.386 Lisa Fong

I've decided I am quite unusual because most people like watching over reading. Like my husband would never read. He'd just watch. He loves watching. You love watching. Dorian would love watching. Mum loves watching. Dad does not really like watching. Truth. When I was thinking in my head about the movie, I thought of my father so much. Like I just thought, oh, my God, like –

0

826.366 - 856.714 Lisa Fong

I am just morphing into him so bad. Like I just thought what a fucking waste of money, 25 bucks. My highlight was my friend bought us all from home, made paper bags of popcorn and Maltesers, which together is such a lovely mix, salty, sweet. And I also bought licorice chocolate logs and some snippets. Do you remember those snippets? Soy crisps that you can get from the bulk bins. Yep.

0

857.716 - 874.531 Lisa Fong

I bought those to share and that was a, and we got soda leaves and that was just so fun. I loved seeing Anne Hathaway in her outfits and she's so beautiful and just like, I love her hair. It made me think of your hair and wow, you didn't chop it. How good, bet you were stoked with that seeing her long hair.

0

875.173 - 875.273 Charlotte Twigg

Yeah.

876.282 - 903.112 Lisa Fong

Except mine is like a bit, it's feeling too short now, eh? Like it was real long, but it is. No, it's not short. No, no, no. But yeah, it was such, it was so boring. I am on the flip side of like, oh, this is worth every dollar. I love being in the cinema, even if the film's half good. I got to a point in it going, fuck, this is a long one. Is this going to end soon? I hope so. Oh, gutted.

903.152 - 927.118 Lisa Fong

I'm gutted for you. Don't be gutted for me. There's a positive, though, and that is that you like your home environment and the books that you read. I just felt like the actual movie was quite shit. What was the storyline that she was going to get her business taken off her and then she got it back? Oops, I shouldn't really say that. Sorry, I've wrecked it for people. Spoiler.

927.138 - 954.378 Lisa Fong

I mean, there was, to me, a similar vibe storyline in the first. And there was no hot guys. I said that to Dan. There was no hot guys and there was no real romance. Interesting that they chose an Aussie again. Terrible. And he's of offspring, eh? I don't know. I don't remember. Oh, I do. I didn't dislike him. He was lovely. Yeah. But he didn't suit her. It was weird.

954.999 - 976.873 Lisa Fong

And I just think that it was really, like, no one raved about it in my group of girls. Like, everyone was like, yeah, it was cool. Yeah, it was just, that's the Devil Wears Prada vibe. It's not going to be a blockbuster, like, fuck, that was so good. I reckon the first one was better. Don't you just think that because it was novel and it was new? I literally chat GPT.
