Hey guys, welcome or welcome back to the podcast. We're your friends, Maddie and Lauren. And we are back for another episode. We have a lot to share today. I feel like we have not given you guys a proper life update in a number of weeks. So today's going to be a good one. A lot has happened.

We, well, I went to New York twice. Lauren and I went to New York together once and I just

got back from New York again for the second time. And just a lot has gone on. I feel like whenever

we're in New York or I guess on a trip in general, there's always good stories to share.

So why don't we start with that before we get into today's episode, which we'll be talking about our favorite things.

This is basically just like an updated list of things that we're loving, which is something

that I feel like we could make a series because there's always new products I'm trying

and loving.

And I feel like you're the same, Lauren.

I do feel like we've done this before, though, right? Yeah, it's been a while though.

Yeah, we should make it more regular for sure. But yeah, we have some fun things to share with you.

These are all things that I've been like doing recently or using or just loving. Like some of these are not even things that I necessarily own.

They're just things that I would like to own.

Like when we get to the fashion category,

that will start to make a bit more sense.

But just trends I've been loving, activities, etc.

So I'm excited to get into it.

But yes, before we do that, I think we should talk a bit

about our New York trips. The first time we went was, when was that? Like two weeks ago?

Last week of June. I think we went on like the 26th of June. We were there for literally 48 hours. Yeah, we went for an

event, or I guess we kind of planned our trip around an event. And it was fun. I feel like we didn't

have time to do too much, but we took lots of pictures and we went to a lot of restaurants.
