00:00:00.000 Hello, Classic Crew, and welcome to today's episode of The Scoop.
00:00:08.820 If you are new to my channel, The Scoop is our opportunity to catch up,
00:00:12.560 go over what went on over the course of the week,
00:00:14.880 and just act like we're grabbing a cup of coffee together.
00:00:17.280 So I don't feel like there's too much happening in the news,
00:00:20.580 which is usually a good thing.
00:00:22.260 So today we're just going to be kind of hanging out.
00:00:25.260 I'll be talking about what I've been up to, what I've been reading,
00:00:28.080 and let me know in the comments what you guys have been up to too,
00:00:31.120 because I love hearing that.
00:00:32.600 I'll be in the comments with you.
00:00:34.280 Make sure you're subscribed to my channel if you're not already,
00:00:37.540 and hit that notification bell because then you'll know every time I post a new video.
00:00:41.180 And I would love if you would consider subscribing to my Substack newsletter
00:00:44.340 where you'll get access to exclusive content not available anywhere else.
00:00:48.580 You can join the thousands of other people who have already signed up.
00:00:51.680 But now, let's get into it.
00:00:53.160 So the very first thing I want to talk about is that today is the last day
00:00:57.040 of the pre-sale for my summer jewelry collection with Rachel N. Jewelry.
00:01:01.660 So as you guys know, I've worked with Rachel N. Jewelry before,
00:01:04.520 and this summer we decided to work together again,
00:01:06.900 and we came up with this beautiful little necklace here.
00:01:09.920 I also designed a bracelet, and it's all based on a lock and key collection.
00:01:14.360 I love the whole thing.
00:01:15.380 It is perfect for summer.
00:01:16.460 You can buy all the pieces separately,
00:01:18.060 but if you want to get the whole set together,
00:01:19.960 then you can buy them for the sale price.
00:01:21.700 But the sale ends today.
00:01:23.660 So if you want to purchase the whole set,
00:01:26.320 make sure to head to her website and buy the whole thing.
00:01:29.160 And it'll also be limited edition.
00:01:30.900 So after the pre-sale, you won't be able to get the pre-sale price,
00:01:33.440 but you'll be able to get all of the pieces until they run out.
00:01:36.560 So I can't wait to see if you guys order them.
00:01:39.100 Let me know in the comments.
00:01:40.260 Tag me on Instagram if you wear them.
00:01:41.860 I love seeing what you guys wear and how you style these pieces.
00:01:45.480 I don't know if anyone else has noticed this,
00:01:47.040 but the cicadas are gone.
00:01:49.040 It is huge news.
00:01:50.220 The cicadas are still here just a teeny, teeny little bit.
00:01:53.860 I still see a few every now and then,
00:01:55.460 but they are not swarming.
00:01:57.160 And it was crazy here for a while.
00:01:59.440 Like I was freaking out every time I left the house
00:02:01.560 because they would fly into me.
00:02:03.060 It was the worst.
00:02:04.180 And you can hear them in the background of my videos.
00:02:05.760 It was terrible.
00:02:06.760 But now they're pretty much gone and I'm so happy about it.
00:02:10.720 Now I can enjoy summer.
00:02:12.200 I can sit on my patio and I'm not feeling like I'm being bombarded.
00:02:16.160 Let me know if the cicadas are gone from your area
00:02:18.580 because they're definitely gone in mine.
00:02:20.400 We're also traveling again this weekend for a wedding.
00:02:23.660 I think I'm going to wear one of the dresses that I recommended
00:02:26.600 in my wedding guest dresses video from Amazon.
00:02:30.160 I did an Amazon haul,
00:02:31.580 which I'll have linked above or in the description box.
00:02:34.160 We're going to be seeing a bunch of our friends
00:02:35.720 from when Jacob went to law school.
00:02:38.020 And I'm just, really, I love weddings.
00:02:40.140 As you guys know,
00:02:41.060 as I say in pretty much every video nowadays,
00:02:43.120 I love weddings.
00:02:44.500 So I'm really looking forward to this
00:02:45.880 and it's just going to be a great time.
00:02:47.980 Last but not least,
00:02:48.740 I wanted to talk about what books I've been reading
00:02:50.840 because I've been reading some really interesting books.
00:02:53.120 I've been reading Who Stole Feminism by Christina Hoff Summers,
00:02:56.020 which is amazing, super eye-opening.
00:02:59.060 Definitely recommend it.
00:03:00.460 I've been listening to it on Audible, actually.
00:03:02.240 So every day I go to the gym,
00:03:03.520 I listen to Who Stole Feminism
00:03:04.820 and I learn just a little bit more about
00:03:06.760 the issues with modern feminism
00:03:08.760 and gender feminism
00:03:09.880 as opposed to equity feminism.
00:03:12.220 It's fascinating.
00:03:13.500 It's really interesting
00:03:14.420 and definitely worth reading.
00:03:16.320 It is a long read,
00:03:18.200 but if you want to just listen to it in the car,
00:03:20.240 which I've been doing,
00:03:21.040 it's great.
00:03:21.520 I love it.
00:03:22.280 I've also been reading the book
00:03:23.840 Expecting Better by Emily Oster.
00:03:26.440 So this book is all about
00:03:27.740 what to know when you get pregnant
00:03:30.000 and more about all of the rules
00:03:32.280 that pregnant women have to follow.
00:03:34.100 Is it that you have to drink less coffee
00:03:36.420 or that you have to not eat sushi
00:03:38.560 and what are the actual risks
00:03:40.140 as opposed to just don't do this thing?
00:03:42.560 And I think it's really interesting.
00:03:44.100 I'm learning a lot
00:03:44.980 and it's giving me more power
00:03:46.600 to make informed decisions.
00:03:48.160 That's how she presents it
00:03:49.440 is that this book is about
00:03:50.720 how to make your own decisions
00:03:52.680 with the knowledge that she's sharing
00:03:55.240 as opposed to this is the rule.
00:03:57.860 Okay, but how do you know that's the rule?
00:03:59.460 Well, it's just the rule.
00:04:00.480 That's not as helpful
00:04:02.720 and it doesn't allow us as women
00:04:04.840 to make more informed decisions.
00:04:07.040 Now, this is just in preparation.
00:04:08.560 For when Jacob and I get pregnant,
00:04:09.980 I am not currently pregnant,
00:04:11.660 but this is a book I wanted to read
00:04:13.640 so that when we do get pregnant,
00:04:15.340 I feel more informed.
00:04:16.660 So that's what's been on my reading list,
00:04:18.860 but I'd love to know
00:04:19.400 what you guys have been reading too
00:04:20.540 because I like to hear
00:04:21.680 what you guys are learning about.
00:04:23.340 And that's it for today's video.
00:04:24.960 I hope you guys enjoyed it.
00:04:26.600 Please make sure to leave in the comments
