Last month we met a young lady in Florida who called
her family a southern hot mess, take a look.
Hi.
Michelle.
Hi Michelle.
I heard you were big fans of the show.
You watch, how often do you watch?
>> Every day, every single day.
>> We live in a little town named Scooterville Georgia.
>> That's where we're from.
That's where our family is from.
>> We're all southern hot messes.
>> Like, like fifty miles from any other city.
>> I'd rather fly all of you here and get VIP tickets and you'll come here and
meet me and dance on the show.
>> [APPLAUSE] [LAUGH].
>> Michelle and your family come on down.
>> [APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
Olivia you where not there when we, where were you?
>> I go to school three hours away from where my mom lives in Florida and
I'm a nanny, and I work three days a week all day long, and a Monday is that day.
And so I was not able to get off.
And I was so bummed that I wasn't able to be there, but now I'm so excited.
>> She was like, I cannot believe I missed that.
>> Yeah. So the reaction has been,
well first of all why'd you call your family a southern hot mess?
>> [LAUGH] Well like I said, a hot mess is like,
where you're a mess and you still look good.
>> [LAUGH] >> I see, I see.
Well, I don't know about the hot mess, but y'all are a great family.
And I heard that you have been quite the stud around town since this aired.
Right? >> Has he.
>> Yes.
>> What's happening?
>> So its been like booster for the girls.
[LAUGH] So all the girls are coming up to me and asking me for my Instagram,
SnapChat.
>> Like he needed any help.
>> He didn't need any help with the ladies first of all.
>> It's like putting gasoline on a fire.
>> [LAUGH].
>> [APPLAUSE].
>> Boy. Well you're an amazing family, and
I know that you lost your husband suddenly a few years ago and
that has been really tough, obviously, on the family.
And you have to keep moving because every time you live somewhere then you have
to move because they raise the rent.
>> The rent is just so expensive.
Yes, it's hard to move because, I mean it's always hard to move for anybody, but
Lila is always so upset every time we have to move.
Every time we move to a new house she wants to know,
is this going to be our forever home?
And I have to tell her no because it's not ours we just rent it.
And it's just really tough because she wants her
own home >> Yeah.
>> that she can grow up in and that's one of the hardest parts.
>> I'm sure. Let me tell you something.
When I was growing up, we never owned a home and we always rented.
And we moved almost every year.
And I went to a new school every year.
So I know what that feels like.
And now I get to buy lots of different houses and
move around a whole lot because- >> [LAUGH]
>> Because I like to move around,
so maybe you'll grow up and go this is fun to move around and
you have different experiences and you meet new friends.
But I understand, it must be really hard for
you to not know where you're gonna- >> The hardest part is
to leave my friends.
>> Yeah, that's really tough.
And you go to school three hours away.
>> Yes, Ma'am. >> Which is really tough.
You said some really sweet things about your mom, what did you say?
>> She's just really awesome, it's just really awesome to have someone who is
always there for you in a father aspect and a mother aspect.
And just all around the best support system, and no matter what,
no matter what we're going through as a family, or
what she's going through as a parent, we never go without.
And it's just really awesome to have someone who's like that.
You’re a cool lady.
>> Thank you. >> You're amazing.
>> Thank you. >> Because that’s a lot for
you to lose your husband and then to have to take care of a family.
So you’re lucky you have a great mom that’s taking care of you.
>> Well I have great children.
>> You do have great children.
>> Thank you. >> You're a wonderful southern mess.
And.
>> [LAUGH] >> So, you have a company,
you're making your own soaps.
>> Yes. >> And you're selling them.
And I want to help you with that.
Because tell me about the soaps that you make.
>> Okay, so, we make it as a family.
She's not there anymore but she has been there so many times with us.
We do festivals.
And we stay up sometimes all night making soap for
the next day because we run out a lot.
>> Right. >> We make it at home and
we travel around, and we do farmers markets and festivals,
like at Christmas gift shows and stuff like that.
>> And how much do you sell the soap for?
It's all natural.
Completely natural.
>> It's detergent free.
>> Detergent free so.
>> And it has mango butter.
>> Hypoallergenic then.
>> Yes.
It's mango butter, shea butter, goats milk, coconut milk, and oatmeal.
>> That's fantastic, and what do you sell them for?
The slices like that are $7 and I have the ones with the sponges in them and
scrubs and they're one for 15,- >> The sponge is built into the soap?
>> Yeah, it's a natural sea sponge.
>> Well, that's clever.
That's amazing.
>> She puts them in there when she makes them in a little loaf pan and
she lets it soak down in there so the soap comes through on to the sponge.
>> It never falls off.
>> Onto the sponge.
>> You can use the sponge forever.
Yeah.
They don't hold bacteria.
>> Unless you rip it.
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah.
That's amazing.
>> Thank you.
>> What I wanna do is first of all, tell me exactly where you're living right now.
>> Panama City Beach.
>> Florida. >> Florida.
And so if anybody there can help her grow her business in any way,
I want you to get in touch with us and we can help you get in touch with them.
>> Okay. >> I want to

>> I did.
>> Yes, we brought some.
>> I want to put whatever you brought in the Riff-Raff Room.
>> Okay. >> And
