Hello everyone and welcome to Secret Cupers Club. Thank you guys so much for changing it. So happy to have you here as always. My name is Carly Aquilino. I'm your host. We got a bunch of great emails that you guys sent into Secret Keepers Club at gmail that we're gonna get to a bunch of things I want to ch chitch out my girls about because you know I've been watching my

my shows and you're getting this episode a little late because I ended up staying at my

parents house it was a whole it was a whole freaking thing. I would label it a

fiasco but nothing nothing wrong. You guys never have to worry about little

lo me but I did have a very family oriented weekend.

I ended up going on Saturday to Asbury Park with my bestie and her mom met us there

and we just had a cute little girls day. I met so many secret keepers out there.

A lot of secret keepers over in Asbury Park, which is by the way the cutest little place in New Jersey.

It's right by the beach, you have a boardwalk, a little downtown area, very, very cute, when thrifting, got some cute stuff. And then we went to my parents, my best, you drove me to my parents house yesterday.

No, two days ago, so I ended up staying there.

Anywho, I went to the mall with my mom, which by the way, if you haven't been to a mall in a really long time it's such a jarring experience

She had said oh do you want to go to the mall? I said what's even in the mall now?

Because I know they don't have my Charlotte Roost

and they don't have my wet seals.

And she goes, no, they have all the same stuff.

My mom is so, I don't think she remembers

what stores were in there when I was young.

Because the mall was like the hot spot right and all the stores were at least like a vibe I said there's no way they have any of the stores from when I was young other than like the like forever 21 Macy's and that's really it.

She goes no no they still have all the stores. I'm like let's go see because I haven't been there in a million years.

Girl it was all off-brand you know off-brand stores. One of them was called like

butterfly or something and then there was another one. It was so weird. It was like, you know in TV shows and movies when they can't use like Coca-Cola, so they'll do like cola cola, but it looks the same. That was kind of the vibe it was given over there at the mall. But what they did have was a Steve Maddox and you know I'm gonna I'm gonna march right in there to see Maddins and see what's going on and see madins girl I was in the sale section 25% off hear me out okay and and you know I'm not good at math but I was crunching numbers over there.

25% off and the girl goes, oh by the way everything on sale is an additional 50% off.
