Stretch Marks 8-27-26

I had lunch this week with one of my very best friends. There is nothing better than a three-hour lunch over some quesadillas and salsa. I told you guys that I was going to create this weekly email around Girl Talk, and I meant it. But I’m also going to create it over Mexican food and I mean that, as well.

Looking back over the conversation that I had with her at that three-hour lunch, plus a couple of texts exchanged with my cousin, here is what we discussed…

This woman!! I don’t know what…How are people so… This makes me so… Have you listened to this podcast yet? Man, it is craycray! I’m not going to tell you any more than that, but I do encourage a good road trip so you can give it listen. And then think long and hard before believing everyone you meet online!! (Except me, your bff, of course.)

I was babysitting my dad’s dog last Friday night - you know, as one does who’s 50 and has no social life - and had absolutely nothing on television to watch. I pulled up Amazon Prime and came across the most darling show. Now, I can’t say that it’s appropriate for 13 and under (so put yo’ kids in bed) but it’s so precious and I loved it so much. Like, I reeeeally liked it. And I’m all depressed about moms right now so maybe that’s why I was so addicted to it? Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

My facial hair is really starting to harsh my vibe. You’re telling me you can send human people from the earth cllllllll the way up to the moon, and they can get out and they can hop and skip and jump around the moon, but you can’t prescribe me something that will take away my man beard? That makes absolutely no sense to me. My phone connects to outer space - but I have to spend 20 minutes plucking my face every morning? This can’t be.

I did, however, find this shaver on Amazon, and so far I’ve had great luck with it. The good ol’ razor just wasn’t for me; it makes everything come back so blunt-edged. I swear it felt like I had tiny cuts all over my hands from my whiskers. But this shaver? I really like it. It was worth the money. You can check it out here.

Have y’all been seeing the number of people on TikTok who are driving over there and getting incredible work done in very clean environments? This is legit, y’all. If you have done this, Imma need your story!!

And lastly, peptides. Peptides, peptides, peptides. I have talked about the subject of peptides with my girlfriends more in the last month than all of the peptide talk in the last two years. No one has known that I have been doing peptides for a couple of years now. My doctor prescribed them, and I have been dutifully following his script and injecting myself with peptides almost every night.

I am not scared of peptides. I actually love them and the way they make me feel. I have seen a very real difference in certain areas of my life and my health due to peptides. Now, all of a sudden, peptides are coming on the scene, and everybody is wanting to talk about them, but I have to tell you: peptides are a whole new world. They are very different and hard to explain, but I want to start talking about them, and I want to start talking about them with Y’ALL, so bring it. What questions do you have? Load me up with questions and we’ll discuss. Let’s girl talk the heck out of this.

Until next week,

Mel
