- So it's not actually a white rectangle,
it is a white rectangle. (laughing)
Oh, these are fancy, whoa, I got 'em.
Whenever I meet someone who likes a chocolate covered nut,
I always know that there's more to the story.
Yeah, let's get (buzzing) up!
I bet they look great on my, don't they?
(playful folksy music)
Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in,
my name is Jonathan, this is Noodle,
and this is Tools of the Trade,
the show where we explore what tools everyday
entrepreneurs need to get through their day.
Now today's episode I'm super excited to share with you
because we are featuring DedCool's Carina Chaz.
Now for those of you who aren't familiar with DedCool,
it is a fragrance company based in Los Angeles
that specializes in cruelty-free green beauty.
The ingredients she uses are the best,
they're cruelty-free, they're vegan,
it's all the good stuff,
and she grew up in the beauty industry.
Her family was in it, and she grew up being fascinated
by lots of different scents and specifically ones
that were really marketed towards men.
And she decided, you know what,
this industry's been a little stagnant for a while,
I'm gonna shake things up, and launched DedCool,
and I'm so excited to see what's in this box!
And Noodle actually has been,
a perfumery reached out to him to see
if there was a way that they could bottle his musk.
And I said that that was impossible.
Now, I don't know anything that's inside of here,
but I have to say, it smells wonderful.
I don't know if she just stuffed it
with potpourri and fragrances for me,
but if she did, thank you so much
and I will wear them proudly, what's goin' on?
Do you want fragrances too? (playful folksy music)
He's more of a sandalwood kinda guy.
The first item we've got in this,
oh you know, we're gonna do this first.
These look like sunglasses. (playful folksy music)
I bet they look great on me, don't they?
(someone wolf whistles) Oh, is that a thumbs up?
That I saw, okay, that's great, thank you,
that was two thumbs up, they could have been
the loser sign, but I'm just gonna say
the thumbs up and roll with it.
So, for those of you who don't know,
these kind of glasses are not only fashionable,
but they help to protect your eyes from the light
that comes from screens, so obviously,
if you're lookin' at your phone or a computer all day,
you are absorbing what is called blue light,
which is the light that helps to back,
like, the LED or whatever in your computer,
it actually really really hurts your corneas,
and it's one of those things that if you're looking
at your phone right before you fall asleep,
the blue light is what's gonna really,
really keep you from falling asleep.
Anyone, regardless of what industry you're in,
should be thinking of getting something like this.
I have one for my phone, you can get
the glass screen covers that have blue light protection,
which I love because I have two astigmatisms
and am legally blind in all 50 states.
Wait, there's a companion piece to it!
I don't know what this is. (playful folksy music)
This, wait, okay wait, this is that, okay wait,
this is great, this is great, this is great.
I want these, these are cool, wait, okay,
so this is a little tassel you put
on the back of your glasses! (exclaims)
So that what you can do is now
when you're working with your fragrances,
and you're mixing different scents together
and you got your lab coat on, and you're like,
ooh I got stuff bubblin' and boilin',
you're protecting your eyes, you're so good.
And all of a sudden, huge gust of wind
kinda comes from behind you, I don't know
if it's an explosion or somthin',
(explosion booms) but whoa!
(box clatters) I got 'em.
And the next item we have in the Carina Chaz box is
(item knocks on table) AirPods.
(playful folksy music)
Everyone under the sun has headphones in their box,
which again, I think is so important.
So many people use music or podcasts or whatever
it is to keep themselves motivated
and inspired throughout the day.
I know, I, yeah, I use mine to block people out,
I use mine just to walk down the street
and be like, I can't hear you, sorry.
Or on the train like, no sorry I can't hear you.
But I also know that there's so many people
who swear by these and just the ease of them
and the fact that you're able to take one out
just to pause it, it's really cool.
AirPods are practical for absolutely any entrepreneur
to have or really any person, but any kind
of wireless headphone, wires are so old school nowadays.
So you really wanna get something like this,
or at least that's what I would want.
Okay the next item we've got in the box is
it's a ring! (playful folksy music)
So, this ring is in this box because Carina told us
that she has an heirloom ring in her family
that is super important to her,
and it's not this one, she did not send that one
to us, and thank you for keeping that one
(giggling) and letting us share this one instead.
She said that she has a really special family heirloom
and I love that this was included in this box,
we've had a couple of really sentimental pieces like this,
and I think specifically because she said
she grew up in the beauty industry
and she had a family that was sort of,
sort of paved the way for where she is right now.
I think that this is extra important
and it kinda goes back to all the entrepreneurs
we've seen who've had photos of their family
or their dog in their box, like it's about keeping
the little items around you that are gonna remind you
of what you're doing and why you're doing it
and this is something that would keep me motivated.
Okay the next item we've got in the Carina Chaz box is
this white rectangle. (packaging scuffles)
It's a phone, it's an iPhone! (playful folksy music)
So it's not actually a white rectangle, it is a,
it is a white rectangle. (laughing)
So this is a phone, I know you guys have seen this,
but this is a phone, and I can imagine
that this is in this box because Carina is alive.
And that's just something that people have.
It's a smartphone, obviously there aren't a whole lot
of people with those flip phones walkin' around anymore,
but those of you that are, do yourself a favor
and just go for the touchscreen.
I get really excited when I see a lot of tech
like this and the AirPods in there,
'cause I'm sitting here picturing this woman
mixing up all these little fragrances,
headphones in, music's blasting from the phone,
things are goin' really well for Carina Chaz,
and I hope that whoever wins this box is also
gonna take advantage of this guy.
The next item we have in the Carina Chaz box is
(giggles) it's just like a big box of chocolate.
(playful folksy music)
Milk chocolate almonds, oh these are fancy!
So again, I am not a huge chocolate person
but these look so good, what's really interesting
about these is that they are chocolate covered almonds,
these are not just chocolates,
and whenever I meet someone who likes
a chocolate covered nut, I always know
that there's more to the story.
So sorry, you can't have these.
Dogs cannot have almonds, and dogs cannot
have chocolate, and this is just, like...
Thank God that plastic is there, you are so sweet.
Okay, I love it, it's a fabulous thing
to include in the box, they look really really good.
We're gonna be sending these to someone
so I'm unfortunately not gonna eat one.
But if you have a nut allergy, stay away!
(sighs) All right, and we are at the final item
in the Carina Chaz box, and I am so excited
to present to you 2,000 milligrams of hemp CBD oil.
Which Noodle just dove right towards,
he just dove right towards it, he goes,
yeah, let's get (buzzing) up! (playful folksy music)
So this is something that I know
people absolutely swear by, they say that it helps
to calm them down, they've said that it's helped
to slow their heart rate, they'll say
that if you're having an anxiety attack
or they're feeling really worked up one day,
this is something to keep 'em cool.
Noodle actually has a CBD oil that he takes as well,
both for anxiety and for his joints,
'cause CBD oil is also very good for helping
with joint pain, and it's been really wonderful.
Noodle has been running like a rocket.
A very slow-moving rocket,
but it's been a rocket nonetheless.
I can't wait till this gets really big everywhere
'cause I do, Noodle, you just love this stuff!
The problem is when I have to give him his CBD oil,
he runs from me, I corner him and I have
to lift his head up and I just go,
open your maw, and then it's like, (groans)
to get it open while I take the little stick
and I'll be like, (growls) stick right in there
and squeeze it, and that's what we do.
I do, I think this is a really great item,
it's a nice self-care item to put in there,
and once again if you're in Los Angeles,
you can get the good stuff, but otherwise
you can use this and it'll be really helpful.
Oh my gosh, it's done, the box is empty!
Noodle, look, we're done, look,
look at the void, we're empty.
Thank you so much for watching this week's episode,
featuring the Carina Chaz box,
I'm so inspired by everything inside of here.
This woman has built a beautiful,
a wonderful fragrance business,
all because of her own passion for building something
beautiful and for putting it out into the world.
