Summary

In this episode of After Hours With Amanda, I’m talking about social media comparison, consumerism, aesthetic identity, and why your real life was never meant to be judged by someone else’s curated video. We start with Savannah Bananas, margaritas, and a date night that did not need to be fancy to be perfect, then we get into car kits, lip gloss, doom scrolling, content creation, and editing your environment. If you have ever looked up from your phone and felt worse about your home, your body, your people, or your life, this one is for you. You are not an aesthetic. You are a kaleidoscope.

0:06.8	The music that you couldn't hear last time was because the microphone was not hooked up.

0:13.0	I'm going to grab my phone.

0:22.6	I'm telling you,
0:26.7	one day, she shack something, I'm going to decorate it and the background's going to be fire.

1:18.7	I'm a slow Oreo person.
1:21.3	I don't actually, the kids could go through them fast.
1:23.5	The tiny queens love Oreos.
