Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 16 (which by the way is my favorite and lucky number), we are talking about the 90s, baby. I was born in 1990 and even though I arguably spent many years as a baby in the decade, I feel very drawn to and nostalgic for the 90s- the music, the movies, the TV shows, the fashion and decor, the VIBES- I love it all! I am absolutely a 90s gal. I can’t wait to dive in. Today we are going to cover:-My favorite 90s trends, favorite pop culture moments and favorite personal memories of the 1990s.-A tiered list: Top 3 best 90s movies, top 3 90s cartoons, and top 3 songs of the 90s-And last, If my childhood was a 90s sitcom, what would the show be called? Who would play who in the cast? What would be the log line, and what would happen in the pilot episode?+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Blue Sushi order: vegan tofu lettuce wraps, vegan veggie roll, crunchy cabbage roll, yellowtail serrano, cherry bomb, Philadelphia roll with raw salmonInspo for silver frame with stonesBernard Buffet art book- it's priced at $850 on this site?!?!

Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 14 we are talking about an exercise I put myself through the last week. We are talking about my week of mindful spending. Since the last episode, I have been tracking my spending and I am sharing everything today with you- exactly what I spent, exactly what I bought, what I impulsively wanted to buy but held off on- all of it. This was a really eye opening and helpful exercise for me and I’m excited to get a little vulnerable and honest about a kind of taboo topic, at least taboo for me: money! Today we are going to talk about:+ My money memory lane: what I remember about myself growing up when it came to money, my money habits, and my money beliefs/priorities+ Then we will go over my week of mindful spending- I’m sharing what I bought, what I spent, and what I impulsively wanted to buy but held off on+ And lastly, we are going to talk about money mantras and lessons learned+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Artdillo Eclectic- Last Day Soiree on 8/1/26, info hereBuffalo ExchangeJohanna Parker DesignBack to school hair clipsBandana bucket purse tempting mePast Bedtime Snack episode- TJ's Taste Test & My Trader Joe's CareerTrader Joe's pickle popcornTrader Joe's Bird's NestsAlani Nu cotton candy energy drinkPast Bedtime Snack episode- Taste Test: H-Mart & Hot TakesAre you an over-buyer on an under-buyer?For photos of my mindful spending week, check out Bedtime Snack's Instagram, @bedtimesnackpod

For the music playlist for Episode 12 on Spotify, click here! :)Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 12 we are talking about one of my favorite topics, something that connects people across the world, quite literally one of the top handful of things that gets me out of bed in the morning: MUSIC. Today we are getting INTO it:-My music memory lane-Defining and exploring a phenomenon called "collective effervescence"- and how this plays into the shows, concerts and musical experiences where I have felt the most connected to myself, to artists, to others, and quite literally to what life is all about. I’ll tell you about my all-time favorite shows and what I hope to catch next-A very specific playlist with very specific songs for very specific things. I have made a playlist you can listen to on Spotify, or check out on my website, where I have tied songs to very specific human experiences. Everything from the song that most feels like your first drink at an airport bar before you board your flight to vacation, to the song that feels like falling in love.Special thanks to professional musician, educator, and sick ass drummer/percussionist Ethan Baxley for contributing to today's episode!MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Episode 12 Spotify playlistHogwart's house quizRick Astley live mashup of his Take me to your Heart, and Rhianna's We Found LoveCat's Cradle Back RoomThis Must Be the Place by The Talking HeadsJust by Lane 8Whenever you Need Somebody by Rick AstleySafe By Bay LedgesThe Dress Looks Nice on You by Sufjan StevensAnother Case by ToraFood Around and Fell in Love by Elvin BishopEcho Arms by Mr Twin SisterCool Girl by Tove Lo- Remixed by Nora En PureThat Feeling by MatchyAcid Raindrops by People Under the Stairs
