Welcome to the Curious Me podcast with your host, Mindy Muslimin and Emily Fersela.

Do you ever say to yourself, I wonder, if you've got questions about life, we do too.

On each episode, we dive into the things that make us say, hmm.

So let's scratch that curiosity itch and dive into today's show.

Welcome back after a long, lost pause.

Mindy and I are here. Thank you for joining Curious Me. I'm Emily Fersela, join with Mindy Muslimin. How are you, friend? I am so good. How are you? Good. It's good to see you. I feel like I've just been a chatterbox since you got here because we really haven't seen each other for like three weeks, I think, three or four weeks. Because first, I want to apologize the last two weeks, we haven't had episodes. That was totally my fault because, what was it? The first time we missed, it was because I had just gotten back from Miami for Artae. We were gone five days. There's just too much to catch up on. I had way too much work to catch up on when I got back to stop and record. And then last week, Black Friday happened with Paper and Plan Company.

Yeah. On top of like your businesses being even more busy during that time. Yeah. So I'm still catching up. It's been, so we're recording this on Friday, you guys. And we started our Black Friday sale on Thanksgiving day for paper and playing company. Yeah. Just have you been crazy. I've got the last. I got to get the last. I think I have 300 orders left to get out tomorrow. and then'll be caught up because it's just, it's been. Is the post office like way behind too, I would imagine? I don't know. I feel like they've been pretty good. But, you know, like the tractor trailer comes and picks up the palette. So it's like, I haven't been to the post office. You just wave. I just hope like, please get these to everybody when they need them. So, but yeah, it's been, it's been hectic. So how is entrepreneur life for you? Oh, it's really good. I haven't worn a lofty blouse in like four weeks. A billowy? No, flowy. Not any of them. No going out tops. Um, I might have worn a going out top or two. I did wear a going out top when I took, well, it wasn't really a going out top. I hired Sydney. Yes. Photography to do my pictures for the new website. The one you posted yesterday. It looked so good. Thank you. Or yesterday they did before I can't remember. I guess that wasn't really a going out top. But in my brain, it was, it's more than what I...

Look, anytime I'm not in workout clothes, it's a going out top.

Yeah, it was going on.

No matter if it's a going out hoodie. If it's a nice one I don't wear to work out and that's a going out top. But it was for the purpose of photos, which were super fun. Wait, what's your new Instagram? My new Instagram is be well my way.

Be, B.E.

Yeah.

Be e. Well, my way.

Yes, because Well My Way was already taken on Instagram. So. And when my website's up and running, it'll be well my way.com. Perfect. Yeah, I'm excited. Me too. More to come. Any other stories you have before I dive into my stories? Um you read the article I sent you about the Apple Watch? Okay. We'll talk about my next time, but that reminded me. We could talk about it after the show. Okay. I mean, on air. On air after the show. Is it something we need to be private? Well, one thing too about like when we record, you know, like us saying like, oh, we didn't have time to get together record. Even if we record like an episode that's 25 minutes. It's two hours. Yes. It's us talking for like 45 minutes ahead of time, recording and then finishing other conversations. Well, we're already 57 minutes behind schedule because I had a two o'clock eye doctor appointment and Mindy and I were to meet at three and I thought the eye doctor I'm like okay 45 minutes cool yeah 15 minutes to drive home be right on time but then it's the end of the year and I wanted to use all our like um hs a you know benefits you like give me that that that huh you like give me all the yeah so I had to get years with the context which I changed them every month and I got two pairs of glasses, did the, that, huh? You like, give me all the... Yeah, so I had to get a years with the contacts, which I changed them every month,

and I got two pairs of glasses.

I did the eye exam. So it was like getting fitted for the glasses and size and everything. So it was just kind of a little bit longer. Oh, so with that Apple Watch, though, when I was doing the pictures with Sydney, I wore just like a regular watch that day. I didn't wear my Apple watch. So Emily and I were talking about, I think I mentioned it like many moons ago. This article I read about a dietitian who took off her Apple Watch for like a month to see like what happened because she thought it was kind of interfering with her life. But one of the things she mentions in there and I know we've talked about it is like the phantom vibration. Yes, constant. That when you wear an Apple Watch or if you have a phone

that vibrates, of our life. But one of the things she mentions in there, and I know we've talked about it, is like the phantom vibration. Yes, constant. That when you wear an Apple Watch or if you

have a phone that vibrates, like sometimes you feel that, even if it's not on you. And that happened three times to me. During the photo shoot, I was like, I felt it buzz. Anytime I wear a real, like a real watch, not an Apple watch.

I literally will look at it. I'm like, oh, I thought it was vibrating.

Yeah. And it, I didn't even have it. I'm like, oh, I thought it was vibrating.

Yeah. And I didn't even have it on. But yeah, we can talk more about that later. What happened with your Nordstrom story? No, so this is just dumb stuff because I was like Phil and Mindy and all like, I call it gossip, but it's not even gossip. It's just like weird random stuff that's been going on. Talk of the town. No. So you two topics of conversation let's do my two topics of conversation we'll do the apple watch and then we're going to dive into the q and a that we promised eight bazillion weeks ago that we never got to because we didn't record okay does that sound like the great itinerary for the day yeah you're going to have to remind me of that though as well First order of business, Grove. So Grove, if you guys don't know what it is, I've talked

about before. It's like an app. This is not an ad, by the way. Nothing we do is ads. I'll tell you that. But it just sound like, okay, guys, Grove is so great. Anyway, so Grove app. It's like an app on your phone and it's a lot of like natural cleaning products. They have candles, essential oils.
