Summary

Kelly is firing on all cylinders! She's busier then ever, which is only about to pick up soon with even more travel. (BTW - who has a hook up with airport lounges?) But with everything going on you would think she would try to slow down right? NOPE! Now, she's starting a gardening project! And she won't be Chat GPTing it! Lizz has decided now is the time to get her life in order, one day at a time. She's got a new method on how to get those big chores done every week and you may want to steal this one. Speaking of making your life better, Lizz also has a base-model luxury that is perfect as we get into summer: spa water. It's been a while since Kelly and Lizz did a Last Three Transactions. Kelly is fully in her REPS era and is buying items to keep the kids entertained over the summer. It's all about stickers, "Where's Waldo?" books and word searches. Lizz is also buying stuff for the kids including blue sand and fish for a sensory bowl, dino shirts and a safety alarm for the door. In Industry News, we'll be seeing a new Nissan Xterra in 2028 and Kelly has a new press car that she is excited about (mostly because it has a great name). Finally, Kelly and Lizz have to very different Ditch the Drive-Thrus: a lox salad and taco skillet.
