I told you I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever be the bitch that lies about getting shit done to my face or my body or what have you. Ever. Hi, it's Mini Monday. It's Sophia with Enough. And I just hope you guys are listening to this first thing in the morning on your way to work. I don't know. When I used to work at Morgan Stanley and wanted to blow my brains out, I was like,
Podcasts in the morning on my way to work while I was taking the subway were like a lifeline. So I just want to give you like a little update story time. Let's see, where do we begin? Let's start with like a little weekend recap. Most of my weekends look the same. I usually spend Friday working pretty late. And then what happens is...
The resurrection of Christ. And I don't want to compare myself to Jesus Christ. I'll let other people do that. I go into a coma and I don't really fully wake up from it until Monday morning.
It's like a bear in hibernation. And I understand this is the hottest I'm going to look, you know, like I probably have a few good years left and I'm young and I should be meeting my husband and I should be living it up on the weekends. The thing is, I kind of have an excuse. One being I live it up during the week. The reason why I die is
Over the weekend. Is I think there's a few factors. My sleep schedule is fucked. So I will try to make up for it. During the weekend. And making up for just one night. Of really bad sleep. Which we all know I'm getting multiple nights like that. You can't really catch up on the weekend. However. My aura ring. If I were to pull up.
Some of my sleep measurements or whatever, my sleep score is,
after the weekend, I like want to pull it up right now. I'm talking 18 hours at a time, then a four hour nap, then it will be 14 hours at a time. Like, can I really just pull this up right now? Because it's people don't believe me. My friends and family will be like, where are you? Are you okay? And you know what? They all assume that
I was out till 5 a.m. doing Molly and ketamine and like, you know, getting shit and da-da-da. And it's like that no longer exists. When I say like I'm in a coma over the weekend, I'm in a coma. I'm awake for a few hours at a time and that's usually me like
half like eyes wide eyes wide half open shut whatever the fuck they are closed walking to the fridge eating scarfing something down watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and boom and
So that's been my weekend ritual, if you will call it, for the last little while. But we are going to get that fixed, okay? I think I'm, you know, skipping around the main thing, which is I got my first beauty enhancement done. Okay.
I thought it was about time, but I want to walk you guys through it because I posted this thing on my Instagram story a few weeks ago. And I'm like in this doctor's office and I post...
And I just wrote like, I'm thinking about getting this procedure done, but I'm just not really sure about it. I don't know. I want to think it over before I like tell you guys what it is. And you guys, you know, blast my inbox or whatever with all of your views on it, which I love your views. I just, I like to make mine well-informed decision, then let everyone come in and talk me out of it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
We are in a cost of living crisis, people, and everyone knows I am the queen of finding ways to save money. And that applies to my retail therapy as well. Rakuten is going to help you save money, period. I mean, it already has for me, so why wouldn't it for you?
It's the smartest way to save money when you shop because you earn cash back at over 3,500 stores. My personal favorites are Sephora, Saks Fifth Avenue, Wine.com, but I've also earned cash back on trips I've taken, home appliances, and even dining out with friends. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving and the membership is free.
And it's beyond easy to sign up for. So there's really no excuse. Cashback is deposited directly into your PayPal account or Rakuten can send you a check. Whatever way you prefer. Get the Rakuten app now and join the 17 million members who are already saving. Cashback rates change daily. See Rakuten.com for details. That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N-K.
Your cash back really adds up. So I initially made a consultation with a plastic surgeon to get, I don't think any of you could guess like in a million years what it was, earlobe repair. You probably never noticed my ears because there's really nothing to notice in
I have noticed though, when I wear super heavy earrings, I'm talking like the fucking ones that are super in fashion right now, super on trend. I have one ear lobe. I can't remember if it's my left or right. And it will hang down lower. It will like sag down lower than my other ear. And it would really bother me
And I never wear my hair down, which I wish I could. I wish I knew how to do a blowout at home, but I just fucking don't. And so I was like, you know what? I want to just get something done. I think it was also me just being antsy and like all these girls getting shit done and looking better and like taking care of themselves. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to start with the earlobe since I'm being such a pussy.
So I go see the surgeon. I show her my ears. She's like, okay, let me guess, like you slept, you sleep with your earrings in or da-da-da-da. And I'm like, yeah, sometimes. I really think it like stems from my ratchet days when I would wear just these huge hoops and then sleep in them or like
throw clothes on over, take my clothes off and it would just like rip, you know, just like tear my earring hole. And she looked at it and she said, I see what you're talking about. I'm gonna be real with you. No one else on the planet would notice this. So I was like, okay, I really like your style because you're complimenting me and telling me there's nothing wrong with me.
And I love when I talk to a surgeon, I'm making it sound like I'm just like in and out of these like consultations with surgeons. I've been to one, maybe one or two, um,
I've gone with a bunch of my friends for a boob job or whatever. And nine times out of 10, I see these surgeons. They're like, yup, yup. I totally see what you're talking about. Let's go ahead and do it. I think this is what we can do. And for this lady to look at me and be like,
So I see what you're talking about. This is something we definitely could fix. You do have, you know, like a scar and a little bit of a rip, but no one would notice this but you. And so that made me trust this surgeon right away.
Let me add, this is the hottest plastic surgeon woman, Dr. Lafer, shout out. I was like, hold on, how old are you? Why are you that hot? And I'm asking how old you are. A, because you look so young, but I'm asking that because I just assume once you're a surgeon, you're
you've been through the fucking ringer in medical school and da da da da da. And she was like, you know, I don't vape. So she threw that one in my face. We had like a fun little relationship. She was like, I'm not doing dry January. That was another reason I trusted her. She was just cool as fuck. So she tells me that we're going to do the ears and I put a deposit down and that meant I couldn't wear earrings for six weeks.
And then I was like, you know what? I'm going to ask the question I've been wanting to ask, even though this surgeon does rhinoplasties and things like that. And I asked her if she does Botox. And she said she does. And I was like, if I am going to get Botox done...
I want a surgeon doing it. Like I want top of the line, top notch. I don't care if I have to pay five times the amount. I'm not going on Groupon. I'm not like, you know, even taking a friend's referral. I want a surgeon doing it.
So I'm like, wait a sec, let's talk Botox. She says, she looks at my face. She's like, we could do very, very, very minimal. I asked her if I should get filler for like the under eye. She says, absolutely fucking not. That's another reason why I trusted her.
And so I left her office. I did some debating. I really went back and forth, back and forth. And your bitch finally got Botox. I'm like so nervous there. Okay. This guy I've been seeing on again, off again. Like it's been the same story for a year or two now.
I told him I was going to get it. He did what every guy does. And he's like, don't like do that to your face. That's crazy. Don't do it. I told this man I was getting a lash lift. And he responded as if I told him I like I was getting like my an eyeball transplant. I don't think men understand what these different procedures even mean. So I started I was just laughing because I
He probably is going to be coming over maybe tonight. I don't know. And I kind of just don't want to tell him and I want to see if he notices shit. That's fun for me.
So I got the Botox done. I know it takes like a week or two to like really settle in. It's my third day, which I heard is when it really sets in. I've definitely been noticing a dramatic difference. By the way, I only did a teeny tiny bit of like minimal Botox in the forehead.
And like right in between the eyebrows. I didn't touch like the rest of my face. I don't know how many units she put in. I mean, with my forehead, it was probably like 28. But I think I look hot as fuck. And I think I'm going to be a whore for all injectables and all procedures. And you're going to see me on botched in like a year from now.
So, yeah, guys, I'm really excited about it. I told you I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever be the bitch that lies about getting shit done to my face or my body or what have you ever. And there you go.
cheers to Botox and being hotter than ever before. Although I am a little bit scared that in two weeks it's going to be even more intense and my face is going to be frozen and then I'm going to really freak out. But with that, Sleuths, our mini is minying and I love you guys so much and I will talk to you next week. Bye.
