Send us a textOkay so here's the tea: last week's episode? Ghosted us. Literally. Power blinked, vibes were high, we were batching like podcast queens and then poof — lights out, files gone, and everyone thought we quit. (We didn't. Chill.)This week we're BACK, caffeinated, chatty, and spiraling in the best way. Jaj moves and Rylee's new salon is taking shape, and how we both basically want a pizza oven and a pool more than we want inner peace.Also: birthday feels, spring energy, single mom power moves, Coachella FOMO, why polygamy kind of makes sense (hear us out), and a Bachelor recap that'll have you yelling “COME ON NOW” at your phone.Just two girls processing life with a mic and a meltdown. You know the drill.

Send us a textYou want chaos? You got it. In this week's episode, Rylee and Jaj are barely hanging on — one home purchase, salon build, concert, and emotional spiral at a time. One's broke. One's stressed. Both feel like gremlins. We deep dive into why opening a business feels like birthing a porcupine, why buying a house alone should come with emotional hazard pay, and how Kelsey Ballerini somehow saved our week (even though we knew exactly three of her songs).Oh, and don't worry — we also manage to spiral about screen-addicted tweens, fireplace placement drama, the downfall of society, and… a Utah nurse murder plot?? Yeah. Buckle up. It's a hot mess express with snacks.Press play and feel better about your life.Hug Your People, and Then Hug Them Again Find us here: Instagram Website Tiktok Our latest merchandise DROP

Send us a textDaylight savings is ruining our lives, Rylee's dodging an arrest warrant (okay, fine, just a speeding ticket), and Jaj is basically a world traveler now—except she held her pee for five hours out of pure social anxiety. Also, why do men treat vacations like a triathlon? We need answers.We're unpacking it all, plus the absolute insanity of trying to function in March (who even likes this month?!). Oh, and we're diving into your luckiest life moments—because some of you are way more blessed than the rest of us.Buckle up, we're going off.

Kako pripraviti rahel in puhast šmorn, je zanimalo našo poslušalko. Jajčne jedi so dobrodošle v postnem času, saj z njimi dobimo energijo za različna opravila. Šmorn je dobro sprejet tako pri mlajših kot starejših. Potrebujemo: ¼ l mleka, 2-3 jajca, ¼ l moke in sol. Mleku dodamo rumenjake in moko, nato pa z metlico v roki nežno zamešamo še slan sneg iz beljakov. Tako bo šmorn puhast. Spečemo ga na olju v vroči ponvi ali v litoželezni posodi z debelim dnom. Če imamo večjo količino masa, jo razdelimo in spečemo v več korakih. Hitreje se namreč speče, če pečemo manjše količine. Obračamo z lopatko ali trgamo, da se popeče z vseh strani. Če želimo lepšo barvo, k masi dodamo tudi žličko sladkorja, sicer pa si jed vsak lahko sladka sam po okusu.

Okay, let's be honest—neither of us is exactly rolling in it right now, but today, we're talking about feeling rich. You know, like when you were a kid, and you thought someone with a fridge full of Capri Suns was basically a millionaire? Yeah, that kind of rich.In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about all the completely unhinged things that made people seem wealthy to our childhood brains—trampolines, pot fillers, hidden garbage cans (a real status symbol, apparently). Oh, and of course, we spiral into a mild existential crisis about adult “richness” (hello, two trash bins and a working ice maker).Also, Rylee is losing her mind running a salon, Jaj is still recovering from the trauma of house hunting, and we both needed this episode before committing a felony. So, if you're ready for some unfiltered chaos, unhinged childhood logic, and a deep appreciation for Lunchables, hit play now.Hug your people.

Hey, besties, it's Rylee and Jaj, and we're BACK in our cute-as-heck newly decorated studio for the Good as New podcast 2025 reboot! (Okay, not a reboot. More like a glow-up. We've got actual baseboards now.)This week, we're spilling on all the chaos and charm of starting fresh in the new year. We're chatting about everything from fail-proof goals (hint: pick habits, not resolutions) to the word that's going to define your year—ours might just be “simple,” but let's be real, “Xanax” is in the running.We also recount our holiday adventures: toaster fires (thanks, garlic bread), Vegas crowds that had us questioning our life choices, and a harrowing Home Goods trip involving a 25-pound bowl and a very confused cashier. Plus, we're embracing our inner vision board queens—because manifesting your dream life is so 2025.Whether your vibe this year is “clean girl aesthetic” or “survive January,” we're here to remind you: romanticize the little things, hug your people, and for the love of baseboards, take down that Christmas tree already.Eye-Opening Moments PodcastEye-Opening Moments are stories of adversity, encounters, and perspectives.

It's Rylee and Jaj here, serving up holiday vibes, family awkwardness, and questionable gift decisions on this holly jolly episode of Good As New. Christmas Eve is here (!!!), and we're diving into the magic, the mess, and the madness of last-minute wrapping, weird holiday traditions, and the inevitable family drama (because let's be honest, someone always makes it weird).From creepy uncles to dirty jokes gone wrong at family parties, we're sharing your hilarious—and slightly horrifying—holiday disaster stories. Plus, we're spilling on navigating the “holiday parent split,” setting boundaries, and how to gracefully dodge your mother-in-law's cinnamon rolls when you're secretly craving your mom's stuffing.Takeaway? YOU create the magic, not the gifts. But hey, if you're listening, Santa, we wouldn't say no to an Aritzia coat or a therapy session that doesn't leave us emotionally wrecked.Hug your people, snap those family pics (but put your phone down after), and have yourself a drama-free (ish) Christmas Eve.

Deck the halls, load up on hot cocoa, and prepare to defend your gingerbread house champion title (looking at you, Jaj). This week on Good As New, we're diving into all things Christmas—whether you're wrangling kids or just indulging your inner child. From driving to see over-the-top holiday light displays to ice skating your way into the Nutcracker fantasy, we've got festive traditions and brand-new ideas to sprinkle some extra magic into your holiday season.Bake cookies, binge Christmas classics, and argue over which Christmas movie is supreme (hint: this new one is super POPULAR and may DEFY GRAVITY). Remember: the holidays are as sparkly and spectacular as you make them—so grab the glitter and let's get merry!Hug Your People, and Then Hug Them Again Find us here: Instagram Website Tiktok Our latest merchandise DROP

In this week's episode of Good as New, we're getting real with Jaj about the unique challenges of single parenthood. From navigating those tough kid moments without a partner to pass the torch to, to raising her fiercely independent little ones, Stevie and Charlie, Jaj opens up about the heartache and humor of doing it all solo.But don't worry, it's not all heavy! We're also diving into Black Friday madness: our favorite brands to watch, the deals we're already scouting, and what you absolutely cannot miss. Plus, we're sharing strong opinions on the hottest entertainment news: Why Wicked is the must-see musical of the season and why Moana 2's new tracks aren't exactly chart-toppers (allegedly). Tune in, laugh with us (after Jaj cries), and cast your vote!Hug Your People, and Then Hug Them Again Find us here: Instagram Website Tiktok Our latest merchandise DROP

Az 1936 és 1939 között zajló spanyolországi fegyveres konfliktus a nemzetközi antifasizmus alapító eseményei közé tartozik. Nem véletlenül. A Köztársaság mellett harcolók és nemzetközi támogatóik a fasizmus és antifasizmus harcaként fogták fel a küzdelmet. Ráadásul a “spanyol kérdés” túlterjedt az Ibériai félszigeten, és az egész nemzetközi világot mozgósította. Így több tízezer önkéntest, akik a világ 65 országából utaztak Spanyolországba, hogy fegyvert fogjanak a fasizmus ellen. De mi mellett, voltaképpen? A népfrontos köztársaságért álltak ki vagy a társadalmi forradalmat igyekeztek elősegíteni?Ebben az adásban történész vendégünkkel, Varga Krisztiánnal a szokványosan csak spanyol polgárháborúként emlegetett konfliktusról, és annak nemzetközi jelentőségéről beszélgetünk. Milyen érdekek mentén folyt a harc és kik között? Milyen sokszínű ideológiai tájkép rajzolódott ki a konfliktusban az “oldalakon” belül? Mi tette nemzetközivé a konfliktust? Külön figyelmet szentelünk az antifasiszta önkéntesek szerepének. Mi vagy ki vezette őket Spanyolországba? Szó esik a Nemzetközi Brigádokról, a Kommunista Internacionálé (Komintern) szerepéről, de az anarchista önkéntesekről is, akikről jóval kevesebbet tud az utókor. Beszélünk a magyar önkéntesekről, és arról, hogy a Horthy-rendszer hogyan viszonyult hozzájuk. A spanyolországi konfliktussal az antifasizmus végérvényesen megváltozott: globális elköteleződés vált belőle. Ezzel kapcsolatban kitérünk a népfrontpolitika kérdésére, és a nemzetközi kommunizmus stratégiaváltásának jelentőségére, a “szociálfasizmus” eszméjének feladására.

Qui més qui menys, una flauta tonta a casa tothom té, sigui de fusta o de plàstic, fóssiu bons estudiants o uns pèssims músics de Bremen. En aquest episodi ens remuntem als orígens dels grans compositors d'aquest país (JAJ no) i rememorem el malson que suposava haver d'aguantar la resta de la gent de la classe fer sonat aquest maleït instrument, que en si no ens ha fet res greu, però una classe d'ESO amb aquestes armes letals, poden rebentar tots els timpans. Però... qui coneix algú que toqui el flabiol? En Pablo sí, el problema és que la persona a qui truquem SE N'HA OBLIDAT de tant fosc com és aquest capítol de la seva vida! És el cas del Ferran, que ens revela que l'amnèsia només la té pel flabiol, la resta de la vida la recorda perfectament. D'allà saltem a criticar el cajón, i busquem un pianista que és el David que viu i ensenya piano a Berlín, però no hi ha manera. Afortunadament, qui es mulla més és l'Armando, que ENTRA AL JOC DE CRITICAR ELS BAIXISTES (i altra fauna similar). Si ens voleu explicar les vostres experiències amb instruments, ja sabeu on som!

páros év, évközi idő 28. hét, csütörtök ** Lk 11,47-54 ** Jaj nektek, mert síremlékeket emeltek a prófétáknak, atyáitok pedig megölték őket. Ezáltal tanúsítjátok, hogy egyetértetek atyáitok tetteivel; mert azok megölték őket, ti pedig a sírjaikat építitek. Azért mondta Isten bölcsessége is: Prófétákat és apostolokat küldök hozzájuk, de közülük egyeseket megölnek és üldöznek, hogy számon lehessen kérni e nemzedéktől minden próféta vérét, amelyet kiontottak a világ kezdetétől, Ábel vérétől Zakariás véréig, aki az oltár és a templom között veszett el. Bizony, mondom nektek: számon fogják kérni mindezt ettől a nemzedéktől. Jaj nektek, törvénytudók! Mert elvettétek a tudás kulcsát, magatok nem mentetek be, s a bemenőket is megakadályozzátok.'' Amikor kiment onnan, az írástudók és a farizeusok nagyon felháborodtak, és sok mindenről kezdték őt faggatni, leskelődtek utána, hogy szavaiban megfogják. |

páros év, évközi idő 28. hét, szerda ** Lk 11,42-46 ** De jaj nektek, farizeusok! Mert tizedet adtok a mentából, a rutából és minden veteményből, de elhanyagoljátok az igazságot és az Isten szeretetét. Ezt meg kell tenni, azt nem szabad elhagyni. Jaj nektek, farizeusok! Mert szeretitek a főhelyeket a zsinagógában, és a köszöntéseket a piacon. Jaj nektek, mert olyanok vagytok, mint a jeltelen sírok, amelyek fölött emberek járnak, anélkül, hogy tudnának róla.'' Erre a törvénytudók közül az egyik ezt mondta neki: ,,Mester! Ha ezt mondod, minket is gyalázol.'' Ő ezt felelte neki: ,,Jaj nektek is, törvénytudók! Mert elviselhetetlen terheket raktok az emberekre, magatok pedig egy ujjatokkal sem érintitek a terheket. |

We accidentally went to the gym, battled kid colds, and managed to survive a week of couch potato life—yay us! But the real star of the show? Our guest, Alexa Norton from @GriefShine. Alexa has built an entire platform about shining through the grief after losing her dad at 23. Even after experiencing this loss, she somehow managed to turn the darkest of times into something a little brighter and hopeful that has helped thousands (including Jaj) shine despite sometimes overwhelming waves of grief. We discuss loss in this episode, and Alexa shares her sweet insights on dealing with grief, even if you're not the one going through it. She's a port in the storm, and her refreshing take on something that touches so many of us has us looking at loss in a whole new way.Hug Your People, and Then Hug Them Again Find us here: Instagram Website Tiktok Our latest merchandise DROP

páros év, évközi idő 26. hét, péntek ** Lk 10,13-16 ** Jaj neked, Korozain! Jaj neked, Betszaida! Mert ha Tíruszban és Szidonban történtek volna a bennetek végbement csodák, már régen zsákban és hamuban ülve tartottak volna bűnbánatot. De Tírusznak és Szidonnak könnyebb lesz a sorsa az ítéleten, mint nektek. És te, Kafarnaum! Ugye az égig emelkedtél? Az alvilágba süllyedsz! [Iz 14,13.15] Aki titeket hallgat, engem hallgat, és aki titeket megvet, engem vet meg; aki pedig engem megvet, azt veti meg, aki engem küldött.'' |

páros év, évközi idő 23. hét, szerda ** Lk 6,20-26 ** Akkor szemeit tanítványaira emelte, és így szólt: ,,Boldogok vagytok, ti szegények, mert tiétek az Isten országa. Boldogok vagytok, akik most éheztek, mert kielégítenek benneteket. Boldogok vagytok, akik most sírtok, mert nevetni fogtok. Boldogok lesztek, amikor gyűlölnek titeket az emberek, amikor kirekesztenek és szidalmaznak, és kivetik neveteket mint gonoszat az Emberfiáért. Örüljetek azon a napon és vigadjatok, mert íme, nagy a ti jutalmatok a mennyben! Hiszen atyáik éppen így cselekedtek a prófétákkal. De jaj nektek, gazdagok, mert megkaptátok vigasztalástokat! Jaj nektek, akik most jóllaktatok, mert éhezni fogtok! Jaj nektek, akik most nevettek, mert majd gyászoltok és sírtok! Jaj nektek, amikor mindenki magasztal titeket, mert atyáik éppen így cselekedtek a hamis prófétákkal! |

Today on the podcast, I had Lucie Klaassen back on for the first time since Season 1 (!) and we had a chance to catch up on all the ways her work has evolved since that first conversation.  Lucie's new book, Wired for Connection: Transform your Horse Training with the Polyvagal Principles, just came out over the weekend, and I was excited to ask her about how this new body of work came to be.  Throughout our conversation, Lucie and I discuss how invaluable it is to practice horsemanship through the lens of the nervous system, and she shares several tips on how to incorporate this important framework into your sessions with your horse.  CW: brief mention of depression and suicide between minute 4:30-5:10 of the episode.  Lucie believes certain horses come into your life for a reason. She started to translate everything she had learned about trauma to help her horse Jajão regain trust in humans. Jajão has given Lucie so many lessons and insights about how to deal with trauma in horses. She wrote a book about this, Wired 4 Connection, to spread this knowledge in the most accessible way. Lucie wants to contribute to making this a better, more compassionate world for horses. Lucie is not a therapist; however, she calls herself a specialist in trauma and resilience by experience. As a horse trainer and awareness & mindset coach, it is her passion to empower every horse owner to understand how the autonomic nervous system works, so you can reconnect with your body wisdom and have move more joy and ease in everything you do with your horse. Be sure to pick up a copy of Lucie's book, and let us know what you learn!  Lucie's website: https://trueconnection.lucieklaassen.com    

páros év, évközi idő 21. hét, szerda ** Mt 23,27-32 ** Jaj nektek, képmutató írástudók és farizeusok, mert hasonlítotok a meszelt sírokhoz, amelyek kívülről szépnek látszanak, de belül tele vannak a holtak csontjaival és mindenféle tisztátalansággal. Így ti is kívülről ugyan igaznak látszotok az emberek előtt, de belül tele vagytok képmutatással és törvényszegéssel. Jaj nektek, képmutató írástudók és farizeusok, mert síremlékeket építetek a prófétáknak, és feldíszítitek az igazak sírjait, s azt mondjátok: ,,Ha atyáink napjaiban éltünk volna, nem lettünk volna bűntársaik a próféták vérében.'' De ti magatok tanúsítjátok, hogy fiai vagytok azoknak, akik a prófétákat megölték. Ti is betöltitek atyáitok mértékét! |

Today is the anniversary of TJ's death, and we're discussing Jaj's two-year journey of grief and healing with some real talk, tears, and the frustrating, unexpected waves that come with loss. But don't worry, it's not all heavy—because who doesn't love a good mix of tears and laughter?On a lighter note, fall is coming in hot (or should we say, cool?), and we're dishing on our favorite autumn trends. We're talking cozy vibes, our obsession with all things brown, and debating if Uggs and Doc Martens are really “out” (spoiler: we're keeping them forever). Plus, we serve up two easy, delish chicken recipes you'll want to make every day—because clearly, this has turned into a food show now.

Plus, what's up with the actors stirring the pot? Domestic violence themes? PR gone wild? We unpack it all with our usual snark and a few side-eyes.But that's not all! We chat about sinking jet skis at Lake Powell, navigating the chaos of back-to-school, and gasp actually being excited for fall. Yep, we're "fall girlies" through and through—even if that just means pumpkin everything.  Whether you're dragging your feet back to routine or still daydreaming about summer, you'll relate to this wild ride.

This summer has been out of control but we're tackling self-care essentials with Better Help. Tune in as we update you on our 24th of July escapades, including Rylee's shoe disaster and Jaj's accidental "scalping" by her boyfriend.We're also diving into a discussion on control, exploring what we can and can't manage in our lives, with some juicy listener confessions thrown in.

There is a particular sort of pause — a small, electric interval — that comes immediately before you make a choice. This strange split-second where you freeze, reflect, take stock, and move forward.These instances are important: it's in these seconds that we exercise our greatest form of agency. We take responsibility for the shape of our narratives. We remind ourselves of the massive scope of our power. Whether embarking on our first solo trip or coming out to a loved one, these moments often become turning points in our lives.Did CJ pause before he climbed into the truck that would forever separate him from his family? And you've heard from Jaj frequently about how that moment forever changed her life and by extension, the lives of those who love them. Some things are big, some are small, but all are meaningful. We asked you about the moments that have shaped and changed the way you think, love, feel, and ultimately, live. One thing is super clear: from near-death experiences to moving across the world, your experiences have definitely shaped you into truly remarkable individuals.  

When we first started this podcast, Rylee was in her newlywed era while Jaj was in her grief era. Now, almost 2 years later, life looks different. We're both in new eras and dealing with the highs and lows that come with both. So we asked you, dear listeners, what era are you currently in? We're updating you on ours and sharing yours so we can all grow together.

For this week's episode, we asked you guys to ask us anything and we answered! We check in with Jaj, talk about how we make money, and update you on the marital status of our parents. We really did answer everything.  

In 13 Going on 30, 13-year-old Jenna Rink is an awkward girl whose only desire is to be “thirty, flirty and thriving.” She magically gets her wish granted, waking up in 2004 at the age of 30 and not remembering anything that has transpired over the course of the last 17 years. Jaj celebrated her 30th birthday this week and while there was no time warp to get there, she did reflect on what she hoped for in her 30s. We also asked all of you what you hoped for in your 30s and it was lovely to hear about these dreams. We also shared some of our makeup favorites::Rare Beauty Comfort hair and body mist and lotionAnastasia Brow FreezeCharlotte Tillbury lip liner in the shade Pillow TalkNudestixOur favorite medspa Maven Medical Arts is in the running for top medspa in Best of SLC. Let's help them win! Cast your vote HERE.

We can definitely tell it's spring because everything feels a little crazy. From merch drops (we're so glad you loved this last one) and The Bachelor to our very chill spring break and Jaj hanging out with Post Malone, we have a lot to catch up on. So this is our vibe check. We're checking in and catching up and reliving those moments where our vibe was HIGH!

s Day is tomorrow so of course we're talking all about love! We LOVE love. We asked you about your perfect date, how Jaj and John met (adorable). and about the different ways your partner can show you they love you. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the first JAJ episode where you get to listen to us ramble and say jokes that are somewhat appropriate. We also talk about our favorite artists and who we should be listening more to. This is our introduction episode and we are so excited to begin our journey with you all!

Jajá, ex-centroavante do Caxias, relembra no podcast Paixão Ca-Ju os momentos importantes da campanha na Divisão de Acesso de 2016, que terminou com o grená campeão e de volta à elite do Gauchão.

Host Bex Scott invites the husband of a Pyrex collector, or hoarder, onto the show to tell what it's like to be the partner of a collector. To protect his identity, since his wife doesn't know he's on the podcast, he is called Rex. This is his uncensored view of Pyrex collecting from the support side.Protected by anonymity, Bex gets Rex's unguarded opinions on all things Pyrex. He shares that they recently had to move house due to his wife's collecting “vintage knickknacky whatnots and doohickeys”. He answers every question you want to be answered: what his favorite pattern is, what Pyrex dish he exploded, how often he is dragged to thrift stores, why his wife is like the United Colors of Benetton, and what his most hated pattern is. This is an amazing look behind the veil of a Pyrex home from the perspective of the non-collecting partner. Resources discussed in this episode:Corning Museum of Glass Pyrex Pattern Library—Contact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex With Bex podcast where, you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares. I'll take you on my latest thrifting adventures, talk about reselling, chat with other enthusiasts about their collections, and learn about a bunch of really awesome items from the past. Subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you love listening to podcasts so you don't miss a beat. Bex Scott: [00:00:31] Hey, everybody, this is Bex Scott, and you're listening to the Pyrex With Bex podcast. Today's episode is one that you don't want to miss because I am interviewing the husband of a Pyrex collector, so stay tuned to learn all about his side of the Pyrex addiction. Bex Scott: [00:00:49] Hey everybody, welcome back for another episode of the Pyrex With Bex podcast. I am super excited for you guys to listen to this one today, because I have a special guest that I know you'll all love. He is the husband of a Pyrex collector or hoarder, if you will, and he's here secretly so his wife doesn't know that he's doing this podcast. So to keep his anonymity, we are going to give him an alias. And today he's going to be known as Rex. So I'd like to welcome Rex to the show today. He's going to give you a little bit of insight into his world, having a wife that is a Pyrex hoarder, a vintage lover. And I know that behind every collector and Pyrex obsessed collector and vintage lover, there is a spouse, a partner, somebody who is in the background having to put up with everything that we put them through on a daily basis. So welcome, Rex. Rex: [00:01:52] Thanks for having me. I wish you had one of those voice synthesizers that make it even better. Bex Scott: [00:01:58] Turn you into T-Pain on the Pyrex podcast. Rex: [00:02:02] That'd be sweet. Bex Scott: [00:02:03] So thanks so much for being here today, and I hope your wife isn't too mad that we're doing this if she ever finds out. But I wanted to get your take on what your life is like living with a Pyrex collector. Rex: [00:02:17] Well, simply put, we have lots and lots of stuff in the house. We have a storage room that is dedicated to all of her stuff. We have boxes full of all sorts of different Pyrex and vintage knickknacksy whatnots and doohickeys and thingamajigs. So we are, we are surrounded from every direction. Bex Scott: [00:02:46] That sounds like a dream for me. Rex: [00:02:50] I thought you might say that. Bex Scott: [00:02:53] And how would you say her collecting and hoarding has impacted your life? Rex: [00:02:59] Well, recently we had to move, recently, and I will say here as Rex that it was because we ran out of space for Pyrex and our children. But, uh, it's very interesting to say the least. And being an older guy, it's funny how some of the things that she has found or digs up out of the archives of the 10 billion boxes that we have in the house, take me back to moments in my childhood, whether it be from my grandparents or my parents when I was a kid remembering different kinds of balls and knickknacks and whatnots that we used to have around the house. Bex Scott: [00:03:41] Nice. So from the standpoint of it bringing back great memories of family and things that you've had from your childhood, it sounds like a positive thing, but maybe not on the side of running out of space in your home, having to potentially relocate because of her addiction. Rex: [00:04:01] Yeah, that part's good. I mean, we got to the point where we had a spare bedroom in the basement of our old house that had to be converted into a Pyrex knickknack warehouse. We had to put up shelving and and all sorts of tables and shipping labels and bubble wrap and those foamy popcorn thingamajigs that get everywhere. So, yeah, it was, uh, anybody who wanted to sleep over is on the couch or on the floor. Bex Scott: [00:04:35] Displaced by old bowls. Rex: [00:04:38] Yeah. How odd does that sound? Bex Scott: [00:04:41] Well, you sound like a very caring and understanding husband for building all these shelves and dedicating a whole room in your house just for her. So I think she's a pretty lucky lady. Rex: [00:04:54] The things we do for love, you know. Bex Scott: [00:04:57] And how long has your wife been collecting for? Rex: [00:05:00] I think it's about four years now. Four long years. But yeah, but four years. Bex Scott: [00:05:09] Four of the longest years of your life, would you say? Rex: [00:05:11] Most definitely. Bex Scott: [00:05:14] And when she started collecting, did you know about Pyrex and what it was, or what were your kind of initial thoughts and your headspace around Pyrex? Rex: [00:05:27] Well, my initial thoughts or concerns was that my wife had been possessed by a very old geriatric woman in that she had this massive obsession with matching bowls and relic knickknacks and stuff. Sorry. What was the other part of your question? Bex Scott: [00:05:48] And did you know what Pyrex was when she started collecting? Rex: [00:05:54] I, yeah, I knew the name. I knew it was used for like cooking and stuff because we had some clear Pyrex that we used for casseroles or whatever. So I was familiar with the name, but I had no clue that there were so many patterns and colors and shapes and all that. Like, I was flabbergasted, honestly, at how much variety there was. I don't know if it's still like that, but, uh, definitely in the old days, it was certainly a thing. Bex Scott: [00:06:28] Yeah. Pyrex has gotten, I think, a lot more boring lately with the modern types that they're making. They definitely don't make it like they used to with the nice milk glass and the different patterns and colors. It's all very... There's Disney and they've remade some of the vintage pieces into the more modern take, the glass, clear glass bottoms with the plastic lids and it's to me not as exciting, but I guess it is a way for the company to carry on and keep making money. And it has a place in some people's homes, so that's a good thing. Rex: [00:07:07] Yeah, I'm not familiar with the modern stuff. I'm only familiar with the stuff that's as old as me. Bex Scott: [00:07:12] That's good. Rex: [00:07:13] Or older. Bex Scott: [00:07:14] That's how it should be. So in your household, who does most of the cooking? Rex: [00:07:23] Uh, that's all on my shoulders. Yeah, I do all the cooking and predominantly all the baking and stuff, too, in the house. Bex Scott: [00:07:31] Very nice. You have a very lucky wife then. Rex: [00:07:33] You got that right. Bex Scott: [00:07:37] And when you cook and you bake, do you use the Pyrex that she collects? Are you allowed to use it? Rex: [00:07:44] Well, that's a, that could be a bit of a delicate subject, but short answer, yes. And you know, I'll admit that despite my smarty pants remarks about everything, I have a signature chocolate cake that I make that's gluten free and can be lactose free and, um, I always use the standard kind of tin cake pans, and they always would stick, no matter how many gallons of Pam you dump in it, it would still stick. And parchment paper just made them look weird. And, uh, she suggested trying this one pink and one weird lime looking colored round Pyrex dishes from 1876 and gave it a little spurt of Pam. And the cakes just came out perfect, and they came right off the bottom. There was like, almost no residue left. I was thoroughly, thoroughly blown away with how how well they performed. So I was a convert there for sure. In terms of casseroles and stuff, I sometimes will use them like for shepherd's pie. It works really well, especially for keeping the heat in after. The delicate subject was, she had this one bowl that she was very proud that she acquired, which was, well you people will know what it is, this Big Bertha, I'm not sure what the print was. It was yellow with some white flowery things on it or something. Anyway, I was, uh, making a roast in it, and I'd like to say for the record that I had zero direction on Pyrex. Bex Scott: [00:09:25] Sure, sure. Blame it on the wife. Rex: [00:09:27] Well, it's true story. So, um, there are no, uh, 1950s directions with this thing. So, anyway, I, uh, mistakenly had put the Pyrex dish on the stove. Bex Scott: [00:09:41] Oh, no. Rex: [00:09:42] With the roast in it that I had, uh, seared and had turned it on. And then I had a jus that I'd made that I was pouring in. And for those of you who know what you're not supposed to do, it quite literally exploded. Bex Scott: [00:10:00] Oh, no. Rex: [00:10:02] Yeah, that was one of my prouder Pyrex moments in my life. Bex Scott: [00:10:07] How long were you in the doghouse for that one? Rex: [00:10:11] Oh, I didn't hear the end of it for a good three months. Yeah. And it still was brought up to this day. So it's going to be one of those things that's kind of like, uh, a cold sore. You just, you never get rid of it. Bex Scott: [00:10:22] And did you finally replace the Bertha for her? Rex: [00:10:26] Uh, well she did. I'm hopeless at finding this stuff, but she managed to find a replacement and then forbade me from touching it ever again. Bex Scott: [00:10:34] That's a pretty scary story. And hopefully you have proof of this to show people down the road. Rex: [00:10:41] Well, I did take a picture of the aftermath, but I was trying to be all, you know, uh, Gordon Ramsay style and show off my cooking abilities. So I'm sad to say, for my own sake, that I actually videotaped the, uh, the event as I was pouring in the jus you can see the whole thing just explode. Bex Scott: [00:11:03] That's amazing. I think you're gonna have to share that video with me. Rex: [00:11:08] For the right price. Sure. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:11:12] Oh, your poor wife. It's hard to find those Berthas. They're expensive, and they don't come around very often. Rex: [00:11:20] Yeah, there's one less Bertha in the world now. Bex Scott: [00:11:23] That's okay. You make up for it by doing all the cooking for her. So you're redeemed. Rex: [00:11:28] Perfect. Can you let her know? That'd be great. Bex Scott: [00:11:30] I'll try. I'll put a memo in. And does your wife collect one particular color or pattern, or does she tend to hoard them all, like some of us do? Rex: [00:11:43] We should really refer to her as the United Colors of Benetton. She doesn't discriminate. She loves all patterns and shapes and bowls equally, as can be witnessed by the copious boxes we have on the shelves in the basement. Bex Scott: [00:12:00] Very nice. That sounds like a great collector. A little bit of everything. Rex: [00:12:06] Uh, sure. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:12:08] You're not convinced, though? Rex: [00:12:11] I plead the fifth. Bex Scott: [00:12:13] And of all of the patterns that she has, do you have a favorite pattern? Rex: [00:12:19] Yeah. Once I started to warm up to the whole thing, I started to turn, I too became, you know, I was, what's the word? Bex Scott: [00:12:30] You saw the light? Rex: [00:12:32] Possessed. No, no, no, it's like the demon possessing me. Pyrex demon. And she has a lot of the Homestead it's called, pattern in the blue. I like the look of it. It was cool. And when I saw it all together, like, laid out, I was kind of impressed with all the different sizes and shapes. And I ended up gravitating to using them for serving because it, yeah, you know what? It makes the table look nice instead of the way I used to do it, which is just like, you know, dinner plates with different piles of food on it. Um, presentation wise, it was great. So that when we had, like, our parents over or whatever, then it just made for a nice spread. So that was a pattern that I originally liked. But then, and I will admit this, I am very fond of the black snowflake pattern. I really, really, really like that. Bex Scott: [00:13:28] So that is a great one. Rex: [00:13:29] That has given her all the green light that she wanted in her life to go out and go forth and seek out and find all the black snowflake. And we have a fairly good, we're only missing, I think, a couple of the entire collection and have some doubles, but they are, they look really nice and uh, of course function great. So that's my favorite. There's a few others that are cool, like the one-offs that have the gold foil. Those look pretty neat. But the black snowflake is kind of my favorite serving dish that I like to use. Bex Scott: [00:14:01] So I have to agree with you that the black snowflake is an awesome pattern. But have you seen the English Pyrex? The JAJ Pyrex version? That's the white with the black snowflake. Rex: [00:14:15] Yes. As part of my, uh, Pyrex indoctrination by my wife, I have learned about there being an alternate Pyrex universe across the pond, and, uh, she showed me how they have a snowflake one, but it's sort of like the inverse, I guess, of what is here. One of my grievances that I can't voice because they stopped making them back before I was born, was that they didn't seem to have a butter dish or a gravy boat that matched the black snowflake that we have now, to kind of compliment like a turkey dinner or whatever. And, um, yeah, she showed me that there's these butter dishes and gravy boats over in the UK that are the sort of inverted snowflake version of what we have, which I would really love to get. They look super nice, even though they are kind of the flip side color pattern. It's crazy though, like you can get the dish for 10 or 15 bucks, but then it's like $30 shipping or something ridiculous or, so I mean, as much as I'd like to have those, it seems a bit excessive to pay that much money, so hold out for when we have a friend going back to England or something. See if they can't fill a suitcase full of-- Bex Scott: [00:15:36] -- that would be great-- Rex: [00:15:37] -- Pyrex to bring back. Bex Scott: [00:15:38] Yeah, yeah. It's funny how there's the JAJ in the UK and then they have Aggie Pyrex as well, which I believe is from Australia, and they're beautiful dishes. And like you said, there's a whole other universe of these dishes out there, but it is quite expensive with shipping and you don't find them here as often as you would just because they're made over there. And we have the US and the Canadian Pyrex here. So it's always fun to look online and see what you could purchase from Etsy or Poshmark or eBay, but that shipping really kills you. So not as fun on that side of things. So you've talked about Homestead, the black snowflake, is there a pattern that you really dislike that your wife has either bought, brought home, and forced you to look at or you just know exists? And you, she may not have any of it, but you just really despise. Rex: [00:16:41] Well, we do have the, uh, Space Traveler's Guide to Pyrex book that she that bought shows all the different patterns and whatnot, which again blew my mind as to how many different things have been produced. But of all the ones I - and if anybody takes offense to this, I'm sorry, but you know, with therapy and counseling, you'll get past it - the Verdey or Verde, that green one with the weird sort of like round, smudgy fingerprint flower thingies on the lid, like... Bex Scott: [00:17:12] That's a beautiful description. Rex: [00:17:15] It's just so ugly. I just, it's a color I just can't get past. And she has a bunch of it, which, you know, it'd be a shame, but, you know, a box may fall on the concrete floor one day. Bex Scott: [00:17:28] Uh oh. The Pyrex graveyard with the Bertha that you destroyed. Rex: [00:17:33] Yeah. But, you know, in fairness, she's broken her fair share of dishes, too. So. And not from cooking, just from, you know, hacky sack, the bowl, or butterfingers or... Bex Scott: [00:17:46] I can understand that. I've broken a ton of them myself. So the graveyard is getting bigger and bigger every day. Rex: [00:17:54] Well, if you could, uh, you know, impart some skills and ideas on how she could improve our graveyard here, that'd be amazing, because then we'd have so much more space. Bex Scott: [00:18:04] Well, there are people who make jewelry out of the broken Pyrex so you could scoop up-- Rex: [00:18:09] So I'll grab my sledgehammer and just give her. Bex Scott: [00:18:13] Yeah and then send it away and have some jewelry made for her. There, I have solved all of the problems. Rex: [00:18:18] I'm sure she would just be so happy with that. Bex Scott: [00:18:21] I bet she would. So is it just Pyrex that your wife collects and hoards, or is it various other vintage items as well? Rex: [00:18:31] Well, in staying true to the theme of Benetton, she doesn't discriminate with just only collecting Pyrex. She collects anything and everything that's old and dusty and musty and is, in quotes, vintage. So we have, oh my gosh, we have glasses and mugs and shirts and magazine holders and ashtrays. What else? There's just Christmas lights, old Christmas lights, old Christmas ornaments, you name it. We're, yeah, we're like a vintage thrift store. Bex Scott: [00:19:10] That sounds amazing. Rex: [00:19:12] I figured you might say that. Bex Scott: [00:19:13] And is this all in your basement, or is it kind of decorating your house, or do you live in a very vintage-y, musty, dusty house as you describe these items? Rex: [00:19:29] Well, most of it is contained within the room, but it does seem to find ways to sneak out at night and place itself on various countertops, couches, floors. Yeah. Railings? Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:19:46] Like vintage booby traps? Rex: [00:19:49] Exactly. It's like, you know, like the movie Gremlins. Like, they just seem to multiply and they're everywhere. That's dating myself. But yes, if anybody's familiar with the movie Gremlins, that's what it's like. Somebody spilling water and there's little vintage gremlins everywhere. Bex Scott: [00:20:04] And does she keep all of the vintage items or is she a reseller? Rex: [00:20:10] She is a reseller. She needed a bit of a push to get going on the reselling because she was just more focused on the hoarding part. And then when the kids were having to sleep with Pyrex bowls and vintage shirts, we realized that, you know, she needs to start, uh, parting ways with some things. So. So she's gone into, um, listing the bowls and other vintage knickknacks that she doesn't like as much as her coveted - what the heck is it called? The pink and the turquoise Pyrex? Like, that's her, those are her babies as well as the, uh, primary color ones. But other ones she, like I can tell you one thing. Those Verde ones are not moving fast enough, but, she-- Rex: [00:21:05] They're haunting you. Bex Scott: [00:21:05] -- no she does sell it. They do. I have, I'm in therapy right now for it because I've had to talk about it. So now when she goes, finds things, it's not necessarily stuff that she wants, which is what she used to do. It's more kind of like things that she thinks other people might appreciate. Bex Scott: [00:21:24] That sounds like the right way to do it for reselling. It's tricky when you tend to buy things that only you like, and then you try to move them, and nobody wants to buy them because it's your taste instead of kind of predicting what the market out there wants. So that's a very savvy way of reselling. And how did she find all of her items? Rex: [00:21:49] For the most part she frequents the, you know, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Vallue Village up here in Canada for anybody's from the States, just another sort of, uh, thrift store. There are sometimes these one-off ones that she comes across in different towns and cities that she'll go in and see, but that's probably the main way. She's, uh, also got big into watching estate sales and, uh, online auctions because it seems that there's a lot of old stuff that gets sold in those things, just mostly because there's only a a small group of you crazy folk who want that stuff. So a lot of people, that's why I find it kind of surprising, honestly, like she found a snowflake dish, black snowflake dish the other day. Like, was it a couple of weeks ago, maybe, in one of the stores and I was blown away that she found it, because I just find it surprising that - maybe it's just because it's the pattern I like - but that people would just donate it and not even look to see if it's worth anything. But I guess if you're, you know, sadly, clearing out a loved one, like grandparent's, house or something you don't want to be belaboring your grief by going through all their stuff like that. But anyway, so it's nice that people will donate that stuff so that other people can enjoy it. Bex Scott: [00:23:15] Yeah. The estate sales are, they're definitely fun. It is sad to think that somebody may have passed and these are their belongings that are being sold. But the way I see it is I'm collecting them to kind of help keep that memory going. And all the Pyrex dishes that I keep, I love each of them, and... It really does sound like they're my children. Jeeze, maybe I am a crazy person. On that note... Rex: [00:23:48] I'll plead the fifth again. Bex Scott: [00:23:52] Has she ever taken you to the thrift stores when she's gone? Rex: [00:23:57] Oh, my God, all the time. Yeah. No, it's, uh, it's become a mainstay of our routine. Buy food for the family, go to the thrift store, get gas for the car, go to the thrift store. Go to the thrift store. Go to the thrift store. Take the kids to swimming, go to the thrift store. Yeah. So we, uh, go frequently, but it's, you know, I've been somewhat infected by it. It is pretty fun. Uh, sometimes, like I will, you know, with shame admit there is one time we were at, I'm really quite enamored with the carnival glass stuff that looks, I like the look of it, it's really quite cool. Bex Scott: [00:24:38] Yeah. It's pretty. Rex: [00:24:38] And we were at a Vallue Village one day, and I was looking down the aisles and I got all giddy like a school girl when I found this gigantic carnival glass punchbowl with 14 carnival glass, like it was all intact except for the spoon, I guess. The serving spoon or ladle. It was beautiful. And, uh, I was quite excited about that. So I showed it to her, and I think she was quite happy that I was all excited about it. Bex Scott: [00:25:12] That's a great score. Rex: [00:25:13] It was a smoking good deal. It was, I think it was like $14 or something or $12 for this entire thing. So. Bex Scott: [00:25:21] That's awesome. Rex: [00:25:22] I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but, uh, maybe this coming summer, next summer we'll bust it out. Bex Scott: [00:25:28] Very cool. And has there been anything weird or strange that you've come across? What's your best Value Village or thrift store experience? Rex: [00:25:42] Oh my gosh, there's so many. There is so much weird stuff there that I'm surprised that they can even sell it. More to do with clothing, but, uh, I don't know. Sometimes you see stuff in there that you're questioning why they're even trying to sell it, because the condition of it is just so bad. Like there's those cornflower metal, I don't know what those are called, those big metal cooking like, I guess, a crock pot in a way, maybe? Bex Scott: [00:26:14] Oh, yeah. Like the roasting pans? Rex: [00:26:16] There was one, yeah, exactly. And there was one that I saw and it was just chipped to death like it'd be horrible to cook with. And I was a bit surprised to see something in that poor condition on the shelf. Especially, it was quite expensive too, it wasn't all that cheap. It was like 25 or $30. And I was just kind of like, that seems like a lot of money for something that's so used and abused. One thing I've found in all the multitude of stores that we've been to, there are definitely some that just, you know, they put a price tag on it and they just sell it for whatever seems reasonable to them. And there's others that seem to be more savvy with the value of the Pyrex world or the cornflower world or all this vintage stuff. And I've learned through my wife, like some of these prices are, they're just kind of ridiculous, especially from a resale standpoint. But even from a non-resale standpoint, like they're just, some places are just kind of a little out to lunch or maybe, I don't want to, I feel bad calling a thrift store greedy, but for the sake that they're doing stuff for good, but it's like if you really want to move the items, you have to be, you know, somewhat reasonable with your pricing. So it's just been funny to kind of see the disparity between different locations because obviously some people that work there are dialed in and others aren't. And so yeah. Bex Scott: [00:27:44] Yeah, and I think a lot of them have gotten savvy to people coming in that are collectors and resellers, and they Google the items that people have donated to find out the prices and they jack them up. Even when I've gone, I've found certain shelves that you can tell the staff have been hiding items on behind things. So I've found PlayStation games and Pyrex dishes in totally the wrong aisle. But it's likely because somebody works there that knows somebody who would want it and they hide it for them. So I've gone back 3 or 4 nights in a row, and it's always in that one spot that they're hiding something, and the price is really low so that this person gets a good deal. So it works out well for me. But there's definitely some shady stuff that goes on. Rex: [00:28:35] Yeah, it's good when you've cracked the code, hey? Bex Scott: [00:28:38] Well, so in closing, Rex, what would you say? As words of encouragement for anyone living with a Pyrex hoarder that may have a partner that's one, a friend, a family member, that they have to endure on a daily basis. Rex: [00:28:56] Well. Be strong, for one. You have to be understanding and considerate. But, you know, let's be honest here, this is a golden key for you to do your own thing and have your own obsession or your own thing, and they can't say anything about it. So in my case, I have a big car hobby fetish and yeah, so it's like a get out of jail free card. I can do it all I want. And she doesn't have any recourse because of, well, look at our storage room. So my words of encouragement are if you are wanting to have some sort of a vice or hobby or addiction of your own, and you have a Pyrex hoarder in your life, now is the time. Bex Scott: [00:29:48] That is spoken like a true survivor of a Pyrex hoarder. Bex Scott: [00:29:57] Well, thank you so much, Rex, for being on my podcast. I'm sure it was very enlightening for my listeners and myself even, to hear about the other side of the Pyrex collector world. Rex: [00:30:10] Well, my darling wife, it was my absolute pleasure and pure joy to be on your show today, to share my side of my life with you. And it's amazing and interesting and definitely never dull. So. But I have to go, dinner's almost ready, so don't be late. Love you. Bex Scott: [00:30:29] Well, thank you for supporting me through my addiction. And I'll help you through your car addiction as well. And I will see you in the kitchen. Love you. 

One year ago tomorrow we started this podcast. Rylee was a super fresh newlywed and Jaj was deep in the trenches of loss after becoming newly widowed. We look back over the highs and the lows, our favorite episodes, and talk about how starting this podcast has been therapeutic and cathartic. We're healing, we're happy, and if this year has taught us anything it is to hug your people, and then hug them again. We love you.

When Alin Shoenrock drove by the police cars and emergency vehicles in her neighborhood, it would be a few hours before she would learn that her daughter, Sienna, was the victim of that terrible scene. "She didn't make it," quickly became the words that Alin would unbelievingly tell other loved ones as her own grief overwhelmed her. It's been 6 weeks and Alin sat down with Rylee and Jaj to talk about her journey through grief, how it's affected their family, the community that rallied, and the outpouring of love that has her feeling Good As New.

Host Bex Scott welcomes guest Danielle of The Mid-Century Maximalists on Instagram to the show for Bex's very first interview episode. Bex and Danielle talk about all things Pyrex, why Danielle started collecting, her amazing ceramics collection, and the joy of being a vintage collector in a modern world.In a similar story to Bex's, Danielle came to her love of vintage and Pyrex through her grandparents. She inherited several sets of Pyrex, including the Friendship and Butterprint patterns, and many of those pieces that hold sentimental value remain on display in Danielle's house. She explains to Bex that many of her thrifted or purchased pieces, however, she uses on a daily basis. Danielle describes the eclectic maximalist decor she prefers, some of the many ceramics pieces her grandmother and great-grandmother handmade, and trades stories about favorite Pyrex and vintage items with Bex. This episode sheds light on why collectors love the hunt of collecting, the value of the pieces that goes beyond financial, and how to decorate with vintage finds.Resources discussed in this episode:Danielle on The Mid-Century Maximalists on Instagram‘Merry Mushrooms' collectors guidePyrex Love Pattern ReferenceThe ‘Pyrex and Corning beaker-decorated mug'English (JAJ) Pyrex Reference Guide“Pyrex Passion” by Michael D.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Danielle, the Mid-Century Maximalists on Instagram. We chat about why she started collecting Pyrex and vintage, her awesome ceramic collection, and what it's like being a vintage lover. Okay, so hey everyone, I'm super excited for today's episode because I'm here with my very first guest and I'd like to welcome Danielle to the show. Thanks so much for being here. Danielle: [00:00:58] Thanks for having me. Bex Scott: [00:00:59] And you can find Danielle on Instagram at the Mid-Century Maximalists. And it was actually on Instagram that we met. And I was impressed right away by your amazing Pyrex collection. And then I read your first post all about why you started collecting and why it's so important to you. And I'd love to start off with that story here today. Danielle: [00:01:20] So my entire life I've always been a bit eclectic, and I spent a lot of my childhood at my grandmother's house. Wasn't one that wanted to just go out and party or anything like that. I just loved spending time with my grandmother, and her entire house was decked out in 70s garb, a lot of Merry Mushroom, a lot of Pyrex that has been handed down. And so it's things that I was familiar with my entire childhood. And then about three years ago, I lost my grandparents within two weeks of each other due to Covid. And since then, it's just kind of spiraled, collecting things that remind me of them because it makes me feel close to them. So it's been a hobby that kind of hit me out of nowhere, but it's fun. Bex Scott: [00:02:12] Definitely. And I love stories like that, where it's more than just going out and finding things that you like. It's some kind of memory that's brought up when you find things or when they're passed down to you, and it's a great way to keep people in your life, even after they're not with us anymore. And that's kind of similar to my story. I got into it because of my grandparents, but it was more that we were cleaning out my granny and grandpa's garage, and we found some of my great aunt's Pyrex in a Rubbermaid bin. And that's kind of what set things off for me. And it spiraled into an addiction as well. Danielle: [00:02:50] What pattern was it? Bex Scott: [00:02:52] It wasn't anything super exciting. It was the lime green lasagna pan. And then I had some primary bowls. But after I found the primary bowls, that was my very first pattern or set that I collected. And I think I ended up with about 5 or 6 full primary sets. Way too many. You don't need that many ever. But I ended up selling them eventually, and I think I kept two and then a reverse primary. So I have those ones still. But yeah, it's easy to get swept up in it. Danielle: [00:03:24] It really is. Every antique store you go to. Bex Scott: [00:03:28] Yeah. Yeah. Danielle: [00:03:29] It's the thrill of the hunt, though. Bex Scott: [00:03:31] It is. It's a huge adrenaline rush. And then you have huge boxes and piles, and - at least I do. I have, I think, 60 banker's boxes of vintage items in my basement. Now that's become me having to resell things because I have so much. But it's fun, so it keeps me going. Danielle: [00:03:53] Yeah, I wish I had a basement so that I could hoard some more things, but I unfortunately live in a ranch so I don't have that much for like room for storage. So whenever I cycle things out, I have to purge. Bex Scott: [00:04:09] That's probably a good thing. That's what my husband would prefer, I think, because he's the one who helps me pack everything to ship and then pack it away in the basement, and he's a very patient man. Thank goodness. Danielle: [00:04:22] We love to hear it. Bex Scott: [00:04:23] Yeah. So do you have a specific pattern of Pyrex that was passed down to you that you really love? Danielle: [00:04:31] So my family, I live in Georgia, but my family is originally from Pennsylvania and up there it was really prominent to have Pyrex, so there was a lot of patterns. And predominantly my favorite one that I've gotten is the Friendship pattern, but I've inherited the Friendship, there's several primary sets, there's the Amish Butterprint. There's quite a few that are within my family line. In fact, my mother still uses what she was gifted as a wedding present almost daily. She has this really neat, it's a complete yellow set, and I've been searching for one as I thrift because she won't give it to me. But she has that. And then she has this really cool casserole dish that's like a hunter green, and it has gold detailing on it. So there's quite a bit of Pyrex that I have inherited. My partner actually inherited the Sunflower pattern, so we have that too. So a lot of what we have on display in our cabinets at home are things that we inherited because of how sentimental they are to us. Bex Scott: [00:05:56] That's awesome. And do you guys use them every day as well, or do you display them and keep them there? Danielle: [00:06:02] We don't use the ones that were handed down, but we do use ones we have thrifted and antiqued simply because while they may look the same, it doesn't hold the same sentimental value. So we keep those put up safe. We've got a zoo of animals. You'll probably see a cat or two pop in here at some point. So because of that, we like to keep those types of things safe and away from the animals. Bex Scott: [00:06:34] That's a good idea. My cat has definitely knocked a few knickknacks off of tables and desks before, so it's a dangerous hobby when you have pets. Danielle: [00:06:47] Yeah, and we've got three large breed rescues. Bex Scott: [00:06:51] Oh, wow. Danielle: [00:06:53] A pit/boxer, a lab/hound, and a husky. So they're not well behaved. Bex Scott: [00:07:02] That's okay. They sound very cute. Danielle: [00:07:08] They are. Bex Scott: [00:07:09] Nice. Most of my collection I keep in china cabinets, and then we ended up using the Homestead pattern as our daily Pyrex dishes. So all of those ones, I find that they wash really well, and they just go with pretty much everything in our house. So that ended up being something that we use and my husband likes them. Danielle: [00:07:33] So we use the Corelle dish set, the ones that kind of match all a lot of the Pyrex patterns. So we use those as our everyday dishes, which is fun. That and I've also got my grandmother's, they're the cubist glasses, Indiana glass. Bex Scott: [00:07:53] Okay. Danielle: [00:07:53] I can't think of the name of them, but I've got her set, so we use those as our drinking glasses. Bex Scott: [00:07:59] Nice. I've always wanted to incorporate some vintage glasses or barware into our kitchen, but we have three kids and they're pretty young still, so right now it would be too dangerous, I think. Danielle: [00:08:14] Yeah, we're lucky enough, I guess lucky enough, that we don't have kids yet, so we can dabble in all that type of stuff. Once we have kids, I will have to be a bit more careful with where I place certain things, because I have a lot of ceramics that have been handed down to me, and if a kid hurts them, I will cry. Bex Scott: [00:08:35] Oh, I think I would too. Yeah. And those are the ceramics that, was it your grandmother that made them? Danielle: [00:08:44] My great grandmother and my grandmother. Bex Scott: [00:08:46] Okay. And what kind of ceramics are they? Danielle: [00:08:50] Oh, I've got some for every holiday. So right now I've got a little village out that has a tree with a vulture on it, and kids trick or treating, a ghost popping out of a casket, a little graveyard. It's super neat. Then I've also got a ceramic pumpkin that she, my grandmother, painted, made and painted, so that's pretty cool. And then I have a couple different ghost ceramics, a black cat ceramic, a house that's very similar to the village, but it's set up inside of a house. Things that I've never seen other people have, which is pretty cool. I've also got a turkey and a pilgrim and an Indian, which probably isn't kosher anymore, but my grandmother made them, so I hold on to them. And then for Christmas, I've got all sorts of things. But you name a holiday - Valentine's Day, Easter - I've got ceramics for it. Bex Scott: [00:09:58] That's awesome. I would love to decorate my house for every season with ceramics like that, and I think I saw them in the little highlight on your Instagram story. Danielle: [00:10:08] Those were the ones that I most recently was able to convince my mother to let me steal. Yeah, that's the little graveyard and the house. I've never seen anybody else have anything like that. So they're super special to me because I can remember just being little and thinking they were the neatest things and playing with them and then getting yelled at for playing with them. Rightfully so. So, yeah. Bex Scott: [00:10:37] Yeah, I think I crushed some little reindeer figurines that my granny had when I was little, and my dad always brings it up when we're at family functions. And he reminds me that he told me just for looking, not for touching. And then I took them in my hand and I squished them. And so... Danielle: [00:11:00] Oh boy. Bex Scott: [00:11:00] Hopefully my kids don't do that with any of, I have a whole bunch of little bluebirds that I collect because my great grandma collected those as well. So I have to make sure the kids stay away from those. Danielle: [00:11:12] Keep them up high. Bex Scott: [00:11:13] Yeah. So what's the thrifting like where you live? Is it pretty good, or...? Danielle: [00:11:21] I'm right outside of Atlanta. So unfortunately the market's kind of like saturated around here. It just doesn't seem like as many antiques. There wasn't as much Pyrex down here. There wasn't a whole lot of ceramics down here. So you do, like, bump into those things from time to time. But that just doesn't seem to be what people's ancestors down here had. So anything that is down here pretty much migrated with someone from the North. I find that when we travel, we have better luck. We went to Louisville to visit my partner's uncle and I found a ceramic wall hanging Christmas tree, and I was really pumped about that, like found it at Goodwill. That type of stuff does not happen down here. Unfortunately, our Goodwills are dumbly overpriced, like 20 bucks for a pair of pants and they're picked over and they're just not that great here. But we've got family all over, so we've got to travel quite a few times throughout the year. So we hit those places up. So like Florida and Pennsylvania and Ohio and Kentucky, just not, it's just not booming around here. I guess maybe too many resellers. Bex Scott: [00:12:43] Yeah, that's like my area as well. Everybody seems to be getting into reselling and collecting. And I'm in a small town between two large cities, and there's a nice little pocket of Salvation Army and a few other Value Village stores that are really nice for finding things. But the further out you get, the harder it is to find good deals, like you said, and especially with Pyrex, the price seems to be going up where they'll have a dishwasher damaged bowl for $20. And it's just, it's kind of ridiculous and it makes it not as fun in that sense. You have to start looking online for things that you want to add to your collection, but that's okay. It's all part of it. Danielle: [00:13:28] Yeah. I mean, I still enjoy the hunt. I still go to the antique stores. I've paid some stupid prices for things that I just wanted. Bex Scott: [00:13:37] Yeah. Me too. Danielle: [00:13:38] You don't see them every day, so, like, you know what? Bex Scott: [00:13:42] Yeah, it's worth it at that point. Danielle: [00:13:43] I'll take it. But whenever I try and purge things around here, like, I don't try and do that. Like, I'm not in it for the money. I just want to kind of get out maybe what I put into it or part of what I put into it. So I don't full blown re, like I wouldn't call myself a reseller. I just have to purge from time to time because I can't hoard everything. I know that I'm a maximalist, but, at some point... Bex Scott: [00:14:14] Yeah. What's the best piece of Pyrex you found thrifting? If there is one that you can think of. Danielle: [00:14:22] At an actual thrift store, I don't think I've ever actually found Pyrex, at least none that wasn't dishwasher damage, because I find, I find that kind of stuff all the time. I did find a pretty neat Corelle dish thrifting one time, but as far as like antiquing goes, the coolest one that I found, I'm trying to think, I've got several unique pieces, that I think the Pueblo pattern is the coolest one I've found out and about. It's probably my favorite piece in there. Bex Scott: [00:14:57] Yeah, that one's beautiful. And then I noticed you have the Kim Chee as well. Danielle: [00:15:03] I do have the Kim Chee. Bex Scott: [00:15:04] And then the Navajo. Danielle: [00:15:06] So the Navajo, fun story, we pretty much were given that one when we were in Ohio by someone we met. It was their grandmother's, and they made us swear up and down that we were gonna take care of it. Like absolutely! Brand new. Never used. And I was like, of course I will take care of this. It's in good hands. So I was pretty pumped about that one. Bex Scott: [00:15:32] Those are definitely ones that you would never find out in the wild here. That would be, maybe not even in an antique store. I don't think I've ever found any of those patterns. Danielle: [00:15:43] All three of those come from Ohio. Bex Scott: [00:15:46] Okay, I need to go to Ohio. Danielle: [00:15:50] My partner's father lives up there, and every single time we go up we make him take us to all of the antique stores. And he moans and groans while we have the time of our lives. Um, but good prices on them, too. The Pueblo we paid like 40 bucks for, it's pristine, was definitely never used. So we typically have really good luck when we go up there. So definitely hit up Ohio sometime. Bex Scott: [00:16:20] Yeah, I've never been. It's on my list now. We went to Portland, Maine just this past summer, and my aunt took me around to a bunch of different shops, and there was one, I still have regrets that I didn't buy way more at the store, but they had a whole bunch of the Pyrex Christmas mugs that were given to staff every year as gifts. And I only bought one, and this one mug was $54 US, which was way more because of the Canadian dollar. Our dollar is terrible right now, but I should have bought all five of them and I still have nightmares about it. Danielle: [00:17:05] Yeah, we have a pretty unique one that must have been only in-house, like Pyrex only gave it to their employees, but it has like beakers across it and it says it says Pyrex on one side, and then it says Corning on the other, which I thought was pretty cool. Bex Scott: [00:17:27] That is cool. I don't think I've ever seen that. Danielle: [00:17:30] I'll have to message you a picture of it. Bex Scott: [00:17:33] Yeah. That's awesome. Very cool. So do you have a specific style that you like to decorate your house in, or is it kind of just eclectic from the things that you've collected or...? Danielle: [00:17:46] It's very 70s. So the room I'm sitting in right now, obviously I've got this old Afghan, um, but we have a record cabinet, lots of vintage records, and our main living room is painted like a 70s bright orange, and it's all 70s garb. So pretty much anything that my grandmother would have had in her house, we have here, minus a couple things, because there were some things, like the Ivy dishes, that just never tickled my fancy. But we love cross-stitch. We have it all over our walls. Love ceramics, obviously love stained glass, love Pyrex, love... You name it, we probably have it. Bex Scott: [00:18:41] That's awesome. It sounds like I'd love your house. Danielle: [00:18:45] You'll have to come out sometime. Bex Scott: [00:18:49] My one room, my office that I'm in right now, is the one that I decorate. And the rest of the house is just... my husband doesn't have the same style as me, so we've kind of come to some kind of middle ground with decor. As long as I don't put brass in the house because he really doesn't like brass, which kills me because I keep finding some amazing brass pieces. Danielle: [00:19:12] Luckily, my partner and I have the same style. We both really caught on to certain things because of our grandmothers. So I mean, we've, I see you've got the Merry Mushroom canisters behind you, but we use ours. Bex Scott: [00:19:29] That's awesome. Danielle: [00:19:32] A lot of the things that we do collect, we try and make functional. If we can. Not everything, like some of the Pyrex obviously we don't want to touch, but yeah. Bex Scott: [00:19:49] If you had one, I guess, Pyrex pattern or dish and one just random vintage piece, what would you want? Like what's your unicorn or your holy grail piece of vintage? And then Pyrex? Danielle: [00:20:05] I'm going to stick with my Friendship dishes simply because those were passed down through my family. Like there was other ones, but for some reason I'm just stuck on those Friendship ones. I can remember, like my grandmother having them, I can remember my great grandmother having them. So it's one of those things that that would definitely be my Pyrex dish. As far as things that are hanging on the wall, I'm trying to think because there's several good things. Oh, I know what my other one would be. My cast iron cat that my partner hates. Bex Scott: [00:20:50] That's awesome. Danielle: [00:20:54] Yeah, I have, um, I have old vintage ceramic and cast iron cats almost in every single room. And my partner says they're creepy. Bex Scott: [00:21:05] Cats are great, and there's luckily a lot of vintage out there with cats. Danielle: [00:21:10] I actually just found a mug this past weekend, not this past weekend, two weekends ago, and it's an old piece of pottery and it has like cats painted on it. And my mom was like, oh God, please, no. And I was like, how much? And they were like $0.50. And I was like, done. Bex Scott: [00:21:28] Sold. Danielle: [00:21:29] Um, so yeah, no, I definitely would need to keep one of my cast iron cats. But that was also one of the things that my family members always had them. I have a great aunt, in Pennsylvania, and she's got quite a few of them. And I hate to break it to my partner, but they're all coming here. Bex Scott: [00:21:56] You can just start hiding things around the house. They'll just start appearing. Danielle: [00:22:01] She's tried to create, like a one item per room rule, that I can only specifically pick one item because I try and pick the most eclectic things. Bex Scott: [00:22:16] That makes it fun. Danielle: [00:22:17] If there's if there's a Bigfoot statue, definitely putting that in my house. So my partner has her opinions, but sometimes I get the veto. Bex Scott: [00:22:29] Yeah. And we have a running joke in the house right now. I have a horse cross stitch, it's huge, I don't know who made it, but it's in a massive wood frame and it keeps moving around our house. It started above our bed and then I think now it's above our toilet and I have no idea where it's going to end up next. But I have it listed for sale. But until it sells, we just keep moving it around because none of us like it. So. Danielle: [00:22:59] That's hilarious. Bex Scott: [00:23:03] Nice. Danielle: [00:23:03] Is that the only cross that you have? Bex Scott: [00:23:06] I have a ton of flowers and they're all listed for sale. I want to keep all of them because my goal was to make a big cross stitch, cruel needlepoint wall behind me at my desk here. But I have trouble committing to a certain style and a certain type of... Danielle: [00:23:26] You just got to throw them up like, turn mine, like ours doesn't match. Bex Scott: [00:23:34] Oh, that looks great. Yeah. I love that. Danielle: [00:23:35] But that we find things and we just throw it on the wall. Bex Scott: [00:23:39] Yeah. My hope is to find a mushroom needlepoint or cross stitch that will go with my theme that I have going on with the Merry Mushroom. Danielle: [00:23:48] That would be really cool. You could make one. Bex Scott: [00:23:51] That's true. I have to learn how to. Danielle: [00:23:53] My partner cross stitches. Bex Scott: [00:23:54] Oh, really? Danielle: [00:23:56] She loves it. Bex Scott: [00:23:58] Maybe she'll have to do one for me. Danielle: [00:24:01] I mean she would. She also sews. Bex Scott: [00:24:03] Oh, I'll hire her. She's hired. Danielle: [00:24:06] She's a jack of all trades. Bex Scott: [00:24:08] Nice. Yeah. I haven't gotten into the cross stitch yet, but I even have a bunch of kits that I could start. That might be my... Danielle: [00:24:15] We have a bunch of kits, too. Bex Scott: [00:24:19] Yeah, those ones are easy to collect as well. Danielle: [00:24:22] They are. You find them out and about quite frequently. At least I do around here, because I guess people will clean out their grandparents houses and they think that nobody knows how to do that type of stuff anymore. But like, there's plenty of people that do. Plus, it's pretty easy to like pick up if you put your mind to it. If you don't have ADHD like me because I started one and just haven't gone back to it. But maybe one day. Bex Scott: [00:24:56] It'll be there when you're ready. Danielle: [00:24:59] Yeah, it's how most of my projects go. I get about halfway and then I'm like, on to the next one. Bex Scott: [00:25:06] Yeah, next thing. Well, I picked up a bunch of Christmas cross stitch kits in an estate sale a couple of days ago, so maybe I'll do one for Christmas. Danielle: [00:25:17] That'd be awesome. You could also crochet some snowflakes to put on your Christmas tree. Bex Scott: [00:25:22] Yeah, I think I have some of those from my grandma. Those are nice. Danielle: [00:25:27] My partner's been on the hunt for a pink Christmas tree. Bex Scott: [00:25:31] Ooh, that would be amazing. Then would you do vintage decorations? Danielle: [00:25:35] We already have vintage decorations on one of our trees. We have a white one and then just a regular one. And I think, I think last year we put the vintage on the white Christmas tree. I can't remember, but we do have like vintage shatterproof ornaments. I actually have a bunch of ornaments my great grandmother handmade, but I'm too afraid with all of the animals that they'll get broken and they're kind of not replaceable. Our cats like to climb the trees and eat the trees, so we haven't found a way to stop them. We've tried all sorts of things to get them out, but because of that, I just keep them away safe. Bex Scott: [00:26:27] That's a good idea. Danielle: [00:26:31] Have you noticed any of your kids getting into, like, collecting? Bex Scott: [00:26:35] That's a good question. I've tried. My oldest son, he's 13, and he comes to Value Village and Goodwill and all the garage sales with me. He doesn't love anything vintage, really, but he likes coming and looking for things with me. And it's, I think it's the thrill of the hunt for him as well. And then when I go out and I come back home, he'll say, Oh, are those more bowls in that box, or Did you buy more bowls today? I definitely did, and then I threaten, we have a nine year old son as well, I threaten them that this will be their inheritance one day, that they're going to have all of these bowls and Pyrex bowls to give to whoever they want, and they can sell it if they want, but it's all coming to them. We have an 11 month old as well and I'm hoping that she'll be the one that kind of turns into the Pyrex vintage lover. So starting off early. Danielle: [00:27:33] I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure as they get older they'll get into it because it's something I never appreciated when I was younger. I was always like, why don't you, like, redo everything? Because this is kind of outdated. Bex Scott: [00:27:47] Yeah, yeah. And then you end up falling in love with the vintage items, and then you reverse time and then you don't go with the new, updated, renovated house stuff. It's like a blast from the past, which I really like. Danielle: [00:28:01] Yeah. My friends will come in the house and be like, whoa, these are some bright colors. And I'm like, you can go home to your agreeable gray walls anytime you want. Bex Scott: [00:28:13] Yeah, go home and stare at your white walls. Danielle: [00:28:18] Exactly. So, I mean, to each their own, I guess. Bex Scott: [00:28:22] Exactly. Danielle: [00:28:27] What's your favorite piece in your room? Bex Scott: [00:28:30] Oh. Good question. I have a cabinet on my right here that's full of all my pink Pyrex and my pink Gooseberry. So I'd say probably the pink Gooseberry. And then I have the glasses that go with the Duchess set. I think they're the Libby glasses. The Duchess casserole is my number one need to find one day Pyrex dish, so I'm always on the lookout for that. I found it online, but it's so expensive. Danielle: [00:29:02] Yeah, that one is rather expensive. Bex Scott: [00:29:04] Yeah, yeah. So maybe, maybe one day when I win the lottery, that'll be my next big collectible. Danielle: [00:29:15] When did you kind of get into collecting? Bex Scott: [00:29:18] I got into collecting at the beginning of the pandemic. So before that, I didn't really know anything about Pyrex. It was always just like the measuring cup that my mom had that I don't think was even very old. It just said Pyrex on it. And that's kind of what I thought it was. And then after we cleaned out my grandparents garage, that's when I realized that there was this whole world of vintage Pyrex out there, and it kind of just spiraled after that. And that's been fun collecting everything and finding new pieces. And at the beginning, when I first started collecting, I would essentially buy everything that I found, even if it was dishwasher damaged or it was way overpriced. So I was spending all of this money on things that probably weren't even in good condition or worth it. Now I'm way more selective, but it was, yeah, it's so easy to do when you're learning and trying to figure out what patterns are and what things might be worth, and if they're even Pyrex at all. So. Danielle: [00:30:25] Yeah, it really is, because, I mean there's some things that aren't even like marked Pyrex. I have one, I'm getting rid of it, but I have one that's I think it's from England. Bex Scott: [00:30:36] Oh yeah. The JAJ. Danielle: [00:30:37] It's their version, I can't remember what it says on the bottom, but it's their version of Pyrex. So like I have that and that's pretty cool. But I would have known nothing about it before I started getting into this. I would have been like, oh, that's not Pyrex, and just like, moved on from it. So the more you learn. My partner actually bought this really neat book off of Amazon, and it goes through like the history of each pattern and details it. We use that as a guideline at all times, because it tells you so much about different promotional pieces and stuff like that. Bex Scott: [00:31:20] Is that the Pyrex passion book? Danielle: [00:31:22] I think it is. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:31:23] This one. Danielle: [00:31:25] Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is our Bible. Bex Scott: [00:31:30] Yeah, I have it on my iPad. And then I went and bought the the paperback version. And then there's a second one that came out as well that has even more in it. So that one's great. Danielle: [00:31:41] I do laugh at their like suggested prices because I'm like, yeah, try and tell, try and tell most people that. Like they're not, I think I was looking and it had like the Butter print as like the entire set for like $75. And I'm like yeah, okay. Bex Scott: [00:32:01] Yeah. Danielle: [00:32:03] Tell me where you can find that for that. Bex Scott: [00:32:05] That would be great. But yeah. Danielle: [00:32:07] That's what I'm saying. So I do find the prices they list comical. Bex Scott: [00:32:14] Yeah. Pricing is one thing that's always very controversial, I find. I'm part of a bunch of Pyrex groups on Facebook, and there's a lot of them that just flat out say you're not allowed to ask if you did good buying this, because if you like it, it's worth it. And we can't tell you if the price is good or not. Danielle: [00:32:36] I am not a part of them on Facebook because I don't really have Facebook, but I am a part of a couple Pyrex groups on Reddit and some of the finds they post on there are insane. Bex Scott: [00:32:52] I haven't looked at Reddit for Pyrex groups. That's a good suggestion. Danielle: [00:32:58] On Pyrex groups and Animal Crossing groups. Gotta love it. Yeah, my partner actually named her Animal Crossing Island Pyrexia. Bex Scott: [00:33:11] That's great. Danielle: [00:33:13] Is there anything else that you collect other than, like, the mushrooms and the Pyrex? Bex Scott: [00:33:17] Mushrooms, Pyrex, little bluebirds. What else do I collect? Secretly, I collect brass. It's in a box that my husband can't, well, he found it the other day, but there's a bunch of - I thought he couldn't find it, but it was in a cereal box, I talk about this in one of my other episodes, but it was packed away in a cereal box in our basement, and he found it and opened it, and he said, What is this? I said, oh, that's just my brass. I'm selling it. Don't worry, it's going on Marketplace. But I do like brass. Danielle: [00:33:51] That's funny. I don't think we have much brass around here. Bex Scott: [00:33:55] It's heavy and it takes up space. Danielle: [00:33:58] Yeah, it does, it does. And we don't have, with all my ceramics we don't have that much like shelving. I know you said you had that horse. Do you have any other ones? Bex Scott: [00:34:14] No, none that I've really kept. I have one that's a little girl on a toilet reading a book, and it says something really funny. I think it's like a potty training needlepoint or cross-stitch or something. Danielle: [00:34:31] I have a cross-stitch. I have a cross-stitch in my bathroom that says, please don't do coke in the bathroom. Bex Scott: [00:34:38] That's awesome. Danielle: [00:34:42] And everybody always is like, did someone do coke? And I'm like, no, no, no, not to my knowledge, but... Bex Scott: [00:34:49] Yeah. Danielle: [00:34:50] It's a warning. Like please don't. Bex Scott: [00:34:53] And they won't now because that's up there. Danielle: [00:34:55] Yeah. I asked nicely. Bex Scott: [00:35:02] I'm trying to avoid getting into all the art glass and like the vases, and that's another thing that I really can't do because I don't have space. Danielle: [00:35:15] I think we have one swing base, but I haven't gotten a whole lot into that. But we do have quite the collection of nesting hens. Bex Scott: [00:35:29] Oh, I love those. Danielle: [00:35:32] And my partner insists on putting candy in every single one of them. Bex Scott: [00:35:36] That's great. Do you have a favorite one or a favorite color? Danielle: [00:35:42] So blue is my favorite color. Oddly enough, since most of the house is done in like yellow, orange, green, but we have a cobalt blue that has like the oil slick on it, almost like carnival glass. And it is my favorite. And it just so happened to be given to us by my partner's grandmother, which just makes it that much more special. Bex Scott: [00:36:11] Yeah, those are beautiful, I love them. I've had a few of them in the past, and it's always hard to tell if they're actually vintage or not. That's my biggest struggle is what year they were from and who made them. So I do a lot of research when I find them, and I think there's even some jadeite ones too that I've seen that are really pretty. Danielle: [00:36:34] Yeah, we have a small jadeite one, but we have quite a few. They're all over the house. Bex Scott: [00:36:41] What's the biggest one that you have? Danielle: [00:36:45] A turkey. Bex Scott: [00:36:47] Amazing. Danielle: [00:36:48] Yeah, it's a nesting turkey. And it's like orange and yellow and... It's pretty cool. I mean, I just think it's so funny, you go into most people's houses that are, you know, around our ages, and it's minimalist and boring and gray. Like, there's just not a whole lot of personality. Bex Scott: [00:37:17] Mhm. Danielle: [00:37:18] So, you know what? If I'm a hoarder, so be it. Bex Scott: [00:37:23] Yeah I agree, it's great for people coming over and starting conversations and especially like with our kids growing up, I'd rather them live in a house with memories and things to look at and ask questions about. Where is this from, and What year was this from, then see everything from, I don't know, we have, I don't know if you guys have HomeSense where you are. It's like a mass produced store or home decor store where people get just the run of the mill stuff, but I'd rather have all of the memories and the fun items. Danielle: [00:37:59] Yeah, I mean, I think, I think that's a lot of what the newer generations are missing out on. Like they're not going to have the things that have been handed down generation after generation because so many people get rid of them. They're like, oh, this is ugly so I don't want it. But it's like, I don't know, these are my family's ceramics. So there might be some that I don't love. But my grandmother made it, and for some reason that means I can't get rid of it. Bex Scott: [00:38:33] Yeah. I'm the same. Yeah. All of the things that I keep, even if I don't like them, I keep them because they came from somewhere special. Danielle: [00:38:40] Yeah. So I just think that this next generation is going to be missing out on a lot of that. Bex Scott: [00:38:48] Yeah, I agree, and that makes it even more fun to hunt for items and just love vintage. Danielle: [00:38:57] It definitely does. It's definitely something that I want to be able to pass down. My brother doesn't have quite the same enthusiasm as I have about certain things, but he has asked for a couple of different things we have. Like my great great grandmother, we have her cookie cutters, which is probably weird because they have just been passed down. When I went down, I split the bucket with him and he has, like my grandfathers and my great grandfather's vices, which is like, I don't know if you do much woodworking, but he has that out in his garage, which is really neat because my brother does some really amazing woodworking, creates a lot of custom pieces. So it's pretty cool that he's able to incorporate my relatives vices into his work, which he definitely wouldn't have to. Like, he has other other ones, but when he was able to get those, he retired the other ones that he was using and just put those away so that he could keep using our family's. So I know that he doesn't have quite the same love for the ceramics as me. But, you know, hopefully one day when my niece and nephew are a bit older, I'm able to teach them about this kind of stuff and maybe they'll have an interest in a piece or two. Bex Scott: [00:40:34] Yeah, yeah, that would be great. Same with my family. My brother's not into all of the the same kind of things that I like. And he's more into the tools that our family had for woodworking and construction and that kind of thing. So that's his stuff. And then I've taken all of the the other stuff, so it's nice that way. Danielle: [00:40:58] That's been the divide for us. My brother's biggest one is like my father currently has a pool table that's been passed down. Why we have such, like, random things that get found in my family I don't know, but my brother is insistent on the pool table and the light that hangs above it that those are his. And I'm like, I don't even have space for them, so go for it. But it's just funny the things that you kind of get attached to. Bex Scott: [00:41:33] Mhm. Perfect. Thank you so much for coming on the episode today and for chatting about vintage. It's really great to be able to talk to somebody else that loves similar things and understand what it's like to be a hoarder. Danielle: [00:41:52] Yeah, it was great jumping on and getting to chat with you. Yeah, it's definitely nice to talk to people that are like-minded. Bex Scott: [00:42:00] Yeah.

Listen, we know "disformity" is not a word. But we're forgiving everything today because Jaj has a big reveal and all is forgiven.  Some of you may call this a toxic trait but it's totally appropriate because this week we; 're discussing all of our toxic traits AKA beige flags. Not the toxic traits that send loved ones running for the hills, but the ones that make life just a bit harder for us and those who love us. Listen in and see if you have any of these beige flags!

Imagine having two babies in 7 years while living in 4 or 5 different countries, getting divorced, moving in with your parents, learning how to do life differently, and on top of it, trying to make new female friends...daunting right? Today's guest did all that and more. She's here to talk to us about her life before and after and what it's like to be a member of the SMC. Plus, she's Jaj's bestie and they were able to support each other and become friends while both of them were dealing with very different types of loss. 

In the days after your loved one's death, did anyone say to you, "You're so strong" or another variation on that theme? If so, how did it make you feel? Jaj's husband C.J. passed away one year ago Sunday and on this one-year anniversary, she's feeling very different than she thought she would.She is sick of being strong and she's tired of being an inspiration...and she's sad. To top it off, she got dumped...and we didn't even get to tell you she was dating. Strength in the context of grief is much different than most accepted definitions. Doing simple tasks like getting up, taking care of others, and making sure life moves forward is brave as hell, but it feels like the opposite. Jaj is in a funk and she's sick of being an inspiration for people and being strong. It may be one year later but we're just now learning that healing and feeling 'good as new' is a much longer and tougher road than we anticipated.But maybe the biggest lesson we learned over the past year? That sometimes showing weakness is the strongest thing of all.

Change is hard. And this past year has been nothing if not full of massive change for both Rylee and Jaj. Rylee lives for change, from a new hairstyle to a change in plans, she goes with the flow. Jaj, on the other hand, isn't a big fan of those things that disrupt her routine and plans. But change doesn't have to be awful and there are ways to usher it in so it doesn't completely rock your world! Listen in as we share all of our tips and tricks and even share your submissions for some of the best changes you recommend for a better life!And don't forget about our July 26th closet sale!

Ry is going to go broke buying shoes and Jaj made her first-ever pilgrimage to Trader Joe's. We also asked you to submit what makes you feel "good as new" and we're sharing YOUR answers!

What happens after The Event matters more than the actual event. What happens when people go home, the phone stops ringing, the meals slow, high school ends, you don't make the dance team, you don't hit your goals, or you get fired? Ry and Jaj are talking about the mental fortitude and toolsets we need to navigate life after life-changing events take place.

The weekend of August 28th, 2022, is one that changed both Rylee and Jaj's lives forever. What was meant to be a bachelorette celebration weekend for Rylee's upcoming wedding wuickly turned into a nightmare for Jaj as she received a call that would alter the lives of her small family forever. For our listeners: This episode contains discussions of death and self-harm.
