[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to get into it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just want to give a little recap of everything that has gone on in the past week while being here in Cape Town and I had a day in London and also discuss my current paves because you guys know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It may be a current pave can be a gift idea for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to London on our way to Cape Town.
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a nice 13 hour live in London and it was so nice to get to be in Soho and Marlbone and get to see
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite coffee shops and stores and everything and catch up with some friends, but the day was really nice and I love London during the holiday season.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is truly so beautiful and magical and if you ever have the opportunity to go, I highly highly recommend that you take it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Since being in Cape Town, the weather has been a whirlwind of emotions.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have had some very
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to the vineyards.
[SPEAKER_00]: We did a whole peninsula tour.
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to the most western, most south western point of Africa, which previously used to be called the Cape of Death.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I could be about doing that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we got to see a lot of incredible things, a lot of history, a lot of sightseeing, and we also had a few beach days.
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to Clipton and I can't remember the other beach that we went to, but both very beautiful.
[SPEAKER_00]: All the beaches here are stunning.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've had a lot of food, a lot of steak.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pasta, we went to a really good Italian restaurant in Lyon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really really good.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was in green point.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've spent a lot of time by the V&A Waterfront.
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to a market today and I've taken quite a few classes at a Plotty Studio that I found called Scalped.
[SPEAKER_00]: Scalped Pilates.
[SPEAKER_00]: I really liked the reformer classes.
[SPEAKER_00]: It did not love the mat sculpt.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a bit too hectic and all over the place for me, but still good work out and on the less super aesthetic work out studio.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very L.A. Miami.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you will, they have all the balla accessories, like the angle weights, the hand weights, the mats.
[SPEAKER_00]: You name it, they have it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very, very cute and there's a little coffee shop.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're the coffee has been really good here.
[SPEAKER_00]: What else?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's been like very nice family time.
[SPEAKER_00]: My cousin came and joined us.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to go to the Game Park and then to go to Platte and be with the rest of my family.
[SPEAKER_00]: And my boyfriend, which will be a ton of fun, and obviously a very different pace.
[SPEAKER_00]: Blow of things, then this leg of the trip, but I'm excited nonetheless, and I can't believe it's already been a week of this journey.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you feel like you're hitting a wall in your fitness journey and are looking to break that plateau and kind of switch things up, you need to look into taking essential amino acids.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the active part of protein in a more efficient form.
[SPEAKER_00]: They have 9 essential amino acids, which is the exact ratio your body needs to build and repair muscle without excess calories, fillers or digestion load of a whole protein or protein powder.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's up to six times more effective based on a clinical research.
[SPEAKER_00]: It shows that Lucien enriched EAA formulas like Kion Aminos is up to six times more effective than way or food-based proteins gram for gram.
[SPEAKER_00]: It supports muscle and metabolism, and it also helps maintain strength and stay toned as we age.
[SPEAKER_00]: I personally love taking my essential amino acids from Keon.
[SPEAKER_00]: After I work out or sometimes before I'll just put it in my water and drink it as I'm working out.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've noticed better energy, recovery, way more consistency in workouts and I'm feeling leaner and stronger than ever before.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even on rest days, I will have my essential amino acids and I've taken them with me while traveling.
[SPEAKER_00]: to South Africa.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're sugar-free, non-GMO, vegan, super easy to digest, and there's so many amazing flavors that even have capsules if powders are not your thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It really helps me stay consistent, keep my strength, and feel great on my body, even when I'm training less, like right now, while I'm on vacation, if you are trying to get stronger, try essential amino acids from Kion.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can go to getkion.com slash morning right
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Piano Minos, for sponsoring today's episode of Morning Rye.
[SPEAKER_00]: Her name is, I have been loving at Classical Reformer over being on a mega lately.
[SPEAKER_00]: I find, I don't know, I feel like this is so random, but I feel like my core has gone a more defined again, and maybe that is doing Classical more so than on the mega.
[SPEAKER_00]: So take with that with you, what you will, what you will.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just genuinely have been really loving it again.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that it's lower intensity, low impact.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mega and degree can be really high intensity, despite being low impact.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's something so nice about...
[SPEAKER_00]: Classical reformer and I think also because I'm going to be getting certified in the start method and all of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And by start, it's really nice to kind of get to play around on a classical machine again.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really have been just loving what you're able to do on those machines, the types of movements and flows and sequencing that you get to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is really random, but I got a little travel size dove intense repair shampoo and conditioner and I really been loving it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually had the full size that they gave to me in PR and I gave it to I think I gave it to my cleaning lady.
[SPEAKER_00]: because I didn't think I was going to like it but it's honestly been incredible and it's super affordable and I hear Abbey Young who is a hair wizard if you will on TikTok talk about it a lot and so it lives up to its hype.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been an eye shadow stick girlie.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the NARS eye shadow sticks.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a brown shade and then a light shimmery one for like in a corner situation Really really love it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll link both of the shades that I have in the show notes so that you can take a peek But they're they're so easy to use you can either blend them in with your finger or with an eyeshadow brush It's so simple
[SPEAKER_00]: foolproof, like if you feel like you can't do eyeshadow and have no idea what you're doing, eyeshadow sticks are so good for that and they're also really easy to throw in your purse in your bag to take traveling.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to worry about your eyeshadow palette cracking or breaking or anything like that and it's super easy to bring around.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I previously spoke about this, but the hourglass tubing mascara I have been obsessed with tubing mascara, it has truly changed my life.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is so much easier to take off.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't feel like I'm ripping my eyelashes out and I feel it makes my eyelashes look really long and lengthened and still voluminous and I've gotten quite a few compliments asking one of done or what's on my eyes.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, highly recommend it is worth the investment and the packaging is just so locks that I love.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see this load.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I have quite a few different little things on here.

[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like everyone and their mother.
[SPEAKER_00]: Once an ordering, so you can get them the size and kit, there is a special size and kit that is for a gift and then essentially you would attach a gift card to it, so that they can then buy the ring or if you know what size they would be, then you can do that.

[SPEAKER_00]: gifts for the tech lover.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have recently gone to my hands on the Sony WH1000XM6 wireless noise canceling headphones and after now traveling them on a 22-hour travel journey I can say

[SPEAKER_00]: I find my Apple Air Pro Maxes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Search over my head by on top where they're resting because they are quite heavy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also really love that with the Sony headphones.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can put it on different settings.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's this fun setting that you can control from the app that you download onto your phone.
[SPEAKER_00]: called Cafe Mode, and it essentially makes it sound like there's music playing in a cafe like it sounds kind of distant.
[SPEAKER_00]: The cinematic mode is also incredible, like the sound quality is far superior to the Apple ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love Apple, like I'm an Apple snob, literally have wireless, not wireless.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've burned through a way too quickly because it's just burning at all the time, but it is a 50 hour burn.
[SPEAKER_00]: Candle, they do have big ones that I think are over 100 hours.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm having an identity crisis.
[SPEAKER_00]: I went to a Google event and Gemini told me that silver is my metal.
[SPEAKER_00]: But all my jewelry is pretty much gold, and so now I'm like, do I go back to silver?
[SPEAKER_00]: Does silver actually look better on me?
[SPEAKER_00]: Does gold look better on me?
[SPEAKER_00]: when I'm tan gold looks better, but they both kind of look good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nonetheless, I am obsessed with real fine studio if I could choose anyone to make my engagement ring and my wedding ring not that that's happening anytime soon, but I would have her do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So easy and there's quite a few things that you can make sure you check off before things get a bit more complex.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I always love to recommend a good card case.
