Hello and welcome to summer. It is hot outside. It's also the first episode of Ask Cristen
and I have a lot of answers to question. Y'all I just said a lot of answers to question.
This is off to a good start.
So since this is the first episode of Ask Cristen I don't actually have questions of
yours to answer but for the next episode of Ask Cristen I want to answer your questions
and my favorite and who knows even my least favorite YouTube comments of the week so comment
below. Ask me anything, really. I'm not saying I'm going to answer it if it's inappropriate.
So to celebrate the fact that summer is here and the fact that this is the first episode
of Ask Cristen, I'm going to do the 'I heart summer' tag. 'I heart summer' tag commence.
First question: What's your favorite summer nail polish? Well right now my favorite summer
nail polish is uh, my skin color. But I am a fan of this tangerine, that's French for
tangerine. A couple of weeks ago I got this and I also got this as part of supplies for
a collab video that I did with Chescaleigh called 'Nail Snacks'. You got to check it
out, it's on her channel. I decided to have a little bit of fun afterwards because I never
paint my nails and I was like what if I combine these nail polishes. You know with some kind
of nifty design with a tangerine background and a pink highlight. And I told my boyfriend
aka Professor Boyfriend. His response was A) you know I kind of don't care about nail
polish and B) that sounds hideous. But you know what guys and ladies, I did it. I did
it and you know what guys and ladies? He was right. Next question. What is your favorite
lip color this season? It is Covergirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Lip Balm in this coral-ly
kind of color. As you can see I need to get some new stuff. It's really easy to wear because
it's not heavy like a lipstick but it's stronger than kind of a chapstick kind of thing. This
happened directly because of advertising. Y'all I like to think that I'm a pretty savvy
women, I talk about on Stuff Mom Never Told You all the time like media literacy and being
aware of advertising and staying cognizant of all of these ads and how they effect us
and how we internalize them. It happened to me. So I"m flipping through Marie Claire magazine,
I run across a Cover Girl ad featuring Emma Stone, love her, and she's all like, 'Buy
this stuff'. And I went to Target and I bought it. I was pumped that I had some new lip color
and I wad concerned that the advertising worked so well on me. Show us your favorite summer
dress. It's a halter top. All of my favorite patterns into one, glitter, floral and gingham
and better yet there's no fussy zipper to mess with. Velcro. This saucy number is a
little too hot to handle for the office but for a first date, watch out. It's a Barbie
dress. Next question, next question. What is your favorite summer accessory? I am so
glad that this question was asked because I have been looking for a reason to put these
bad boys on. I got some new safety glasses. They are not from American Apparel but I think
that I could probably get a job there now. Would most people wear sunglasses? Yeah but
wouldn't most people not wear safety glasses? Next question. What summer trends are you
most excited about this year? Well I hope it is still a trend. I'm going to say high-waisted
shorts because those are the shorts that I enjoy wearing even though some people say
that it makes a woman look like she has got a pooch, to that I say smooch the pooch, wear
your high-waisted shorts. Ah, question. What is your favorite summer candle? This is the
only candle that I own, so my favorite summer candle is the Virgin of Guadalupe candle.
It smells like nothing. I thought it would at least smell waxy. It doesn't smell like
pink flavor y'all. Is it weird that I don't have candles? Like put it in the comments,
like, should I have candles? What is your favorite body spray and perfume? Along the
same lines of the candle I don't have a lot of this stuff. I guess my favorite perfume
is uh Chanel Chance but I'm running out of it and also I think that it might be time
for a new scent. Body sprays, I don't have any so really the closest thing aside from
deodorant to something that I use regularly to make myself smell better and which is summer
time fresh is this. It is my up and up Target brand mouth rinse anti-septic which you can
compare to active ingredients in Listerine anti-septic fresh burst. What's the weather
like where you live in the summer? Hot and humid. The weather where I live is hot and
humid. Today the temperature is in the low eighties. What is your favorite thing about
the summer? I like summer time attitudes you know. People want to be around water and they
want to be communal and they want to beat the heat but you want to beat the heat with
other people. If I could combine a pool plus friends plus magazines plus foods cooked on
a grill ooh plus chips and dips, that's a good day. And last question, what are your
plans for summer vacation? My plan is to hopefully have a plan at some point for summer vacation,
I'm hoping to get out to the west coast cause the west coast is the best coast am I right?
What's up San Francisco? What's up Los Angeles? If anyone has a question for a great vacation
spot that's affordable, you know where to go. In case you haven't gotten the hint yet
I really want you to ask me lots of questions because the next time I want to be answering
all of your questions and also in the next episode of Ask Cristen I'm going to be calling
out some YouTube commenters and comments and awesome things all over social and if for
whatever reason YouTube commenting is not your style you can tweet me @MomStuffpodcast
or you can find me on facebook at facebook.com/stuffmomnevertoldyou and you can leave a comment there. Don't forget
to like me while you're at, please like me. And really ask me anything, a lot of times
on Stuff Mom Never Told You YouTube channel and on the podcast a lot about women, men,
sex, dating, gender, culture, really anything. There is very little that's outside of my
wheelhouse. Except for candles. So I'll see you next time and I'll be answering your questions,
calling out some comments and having a good old time. Cause it's summer time y'all.
