 I'm an everyday woman, woman, woman, in every way, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm living my life, life, life, living day by day. Welcome to Every Way Woman. There are some major changes happening in the talk show world. Live from Los Angeles, here's Every Way Woman. Talk to our producer, Yolanda, the other day. And she was saying to me, it is so hard to be a woman. Two times? Yeah, I see it all over your face. But I mean, okay, so yeah, it might be hard to look like this. Rosanna's new cover. This takes a year. Yolanda. How many hours did it take you to look like this? Well, I did it, and I do makeup so quick. But my whole, you know, opinion about it is look at my face. Women have to put on makeup. I mean, I don't know how long it takes you guys. Sometimes it takes a woman to get ready in two hours. Well, for me, I'm just an eyeliner kind of person, so it takes me two minutes. But there's all these expectations of women generally in our culture to not only maintain our faces, in our hair, in our nails, in our skin. That's a lot of work and it's expensive. Yes. But I think, yes, you're absolutely right. And then there's, on top of that, which is self-care, then there's care for the family if you have kids and there's care for your parents. If you have parents that need taking care of, then there's care for the husband or boyfriend if you're married or dating someone. So you've got to be the caretaker and look good. Well, in fact, that's all your work, guys. And if you are caring for someone and they want you to look good while you're caring for them. Absolutely. I mean, I actually dated a young man once very briefly, I might add. Briefly. That's intentional because he basically, after we've been dating a few months, he communicated what he was looking for in a wife. Now, one of the reasons he was attracted to me was because I'm educated, I'm intelligent, I have multiple graduate degrees. That is something that drew him to me. And then when he turned around and told me what his expectations were for his wife, he basically wanted the madman treatment. I mean, he specifically said, I want her to greet me with a drink when I come home. We went to a function and his friend's wife brought the husband a plate. Wow, look at such and such. It would be nice if I could get a plate. And so he wanted, and he let me know that his plan for housework included gardening and cars. Okay, I love the ground with the ring and the blight though. Well, you know what, I don't have a problem with it because quite frankly, I will fix my man a plate, no problem. But the way he was looking for, there was an expectation and it was the servitude, the level of servitude he was expecting because that built in with everything else. And I think that's part of what's happening now in society as well is that men want us to be everything. And because they're like, wow, wow, you can, you say you can be everything, be everything. Go out and work, get a career, be a mom. And by the way, you don't have any time to sleep because there's just no time in the day to do it all. And it's hard to do it all. Do you guys sleep? You don't? You know what, I try to sleep, like I got on my husband, I said, look man, you want me to cuddle, you want me to clean, wash these kids and then do it to you. I mean, I can be like, I think no, I got migraine, but you know what? And you got to do it with a smile on your face. Wait, I want to know. I want to know. Okay, well we're kind of on the topic. Is it true that married couples schedule sex? Yes. Kids, okay. You used to have to map out. Say Thursday. Thursday, you know it. And you just helped something happen. She's dating. I started dating someone regularly now, and he has kids too, and I have kids, so we can only see each other every other weekend. You know what I do every other weekend, right? I don't want to know. I don't want to know. That's what you do. It takes a lot of work. I mean, you don't have kids, and you even have to sleep. I don't sleep. You don't sleep at all. See, you don't sleep at all. That's why I was asking you, do you guys sleep because, you know, the whole thing of perception is for me to have children in a family, I think, being Latino. One day, I would want that. Now, but growing up, I never did. I never did. I mean, you can ask me the people that knew me when I was eight years old. Why even, like, were you thinking, no, because it was just too much work? You know, I grew up in church, so I literally was a missionary. Oh, wow. That's a lot of work. I'm a missionary. Not that bad. My whole focus was, you know, just religion, church, you know, just God, you know, and I'm not saying that I lost God already. Like, you can never lose God. I think that you were being true to yourself and sometimes women have pressure to have children and have a family. I agree. We can have that pressure put on us. You know what, get on my nerves, though. Well, get on my nerves is the fact that I'm sleeping on the couch and my kids, they know, because they come to work with me, they know mommy is sleeping and they're like, ah, boom, boom, baby, boom. And I'm gonna be like, oh, try to sleep. And then my husband can sleep on the couch. Yeah. And they don't bother you. They don't bother you. He's just slobbing at the mouth. Nobody bothers him. But me, I get bothered with. I get told what. I'm taking you to work at the ice cream and then all of a sudden I'm still being harassed. But Cheryl, what about you? I mean, are you exhausted? Absolutely. I mean, yeah, the hours I work. Multiple degrees? Yeah, well, yeah. You know, I sleep now more than I'm finished with school, thankfully. But no, the hours I work, you know, I mean, I have to be at work at 7.30. And even though I leave at 5.30, you know, there's so much that I carry with me because a big part of what I do is solving people's problems. Wow. You know, that's not something you can just shut off at 5.30. And so that combined with, you know, life in general. Yeah. Well, we can solve the world problems on a treadmill. That's what I try and do. We'll continue the conversation. We'll go back. Yeah, right. That's actually a good place to think. Very good place to think. We'll be back with Everyday Fitness. All right. If you're enjoying this just as much as I am, then stay with us. We're going to be talking about morning yoga right here on EveryWay Woman. Madison is here to help you get your morning started right with a perfect yoga routine. So what do I need to do? Because I definitely feel like I wake up and I'm go, go, go. And then I'm just like tired and stressed out. So what do I need to do to start my morning off right? Okay. Well, I'm going to do my morning yoga. I'm going to do my morning yoga. I'm going to do my morning yoga. I'm going to do my morning morning off right. Okay. Well, we're going to start with a yoga chair. Having a seat. You're sitting down just before you eat breakfast and you haven't quite moved your body just yet. Okay. All right. So we're going to sit again at the edge of the chair and engage the core. I started relaxing. You're already relaxing, meditating, breathing in through the nose out through the nose. All right. So the first thing we're going to do is interlace the fingers and as you inhale, look up. As you exhale, we're going to open up the hands and reach for the toes. That's okay. You don't have to touch them. Just reach for them. Okay. Pull the lower belly in. Let the head and arms hang and roll on up until your shoulders are really good. Yeah. Until your shoulders are over your hips and fingertips up. Exhale, open up the hands and again, reach for the toes. Let's go. Let's try to reach for those toes. Breathe in through the nose, up through the nose. Roll up. Reach up. How many times do we need to do this? Exhale, reach for the toes. About three or four times. Just enough to get your breath settled and getting into your body. Inhale, we're going to take the hands up and then the hands to the heart. So we always bring the hands to the heart and that kind of just reminds us to move the day with gratitude. So when you have gratitude in your heart, it really opens up your energy and brightens up your energy. That's beautiful. That really is. So we're going to take the right foot out and we're going to stick it out, toes up. Okay. Be careful of hyperextending the knee. So what you want to do is put a slight bend and it opens up the lower back. Okay. So we're going to exhale and roll forward and reach towards the toes or past the toes wherever it is that you go. You're going to find that. I'm close, I'm close. But some people really couldn't even do this bend. You can use your hand on your knee. You can put your hand on the floor. But you want to think about reaching the top of the head towards the toes and keeping a slight bend in the back of the knee so that the lower back opens up. Okay. Are you keeping the back flat? Is that really important? No, it isn't. Okay. It's more of just, it's more natural. Okay. No, you're not really working something out really hard. So you want to focus about getting into your breath and thinking about lengthening. You're going to roll up. I'm going to be six feet tall any day now. Good. Roll it up. And we're going to switch the other side just to make it even. Okay. But we're just going to take a couple of breaths here. Okay. Otherwise you'd be lap-sided. Yep. Okay. Tiny bend in the knee. Exhale. Go ahead and take that. Reach forward. And on your knee for support. And you want to have just the tiniest bend so you can lengthen your leg a little bit more and you're probably going to feel that. Okay. Yeah. Where should I feel it? Most of the people will feel it here behind the back of the leg or into the calf. And if you have a really tight lower back, sometimes you'll feel it here in the lower back. So what a lot of people don't know is the lower back and the hamstrings are like an old married couple. They're like, they go together everywhere but they're always fighting with each other. There's a lot of fighting. If one's grumpy, a lot of grumpiness back there. Good. So we're going to come on up. Pull the lower belly in and roll it up. Go ahead and bring that foot back in. So that's one way to go ahead and get the day started. Another thing you might want to do is get a nice rotation in the spine. So we're going to inhale. Take the arms up. Take that right hand behind the chair, left hand just on the outside of that right thigh. Good. Lift the chest up. Okay. Just for a breath. I'm going to finish off with the other side. Now can you hurt your back doing this? You can if you take that chair and you crank your spine around. It's really just there for support. And you want to think about lifting that chest up for the lower belly in. So you're not like pulling yourself with this arm. No, you're not. You're just supporting yourself. Okay. Good. We're going to release. Inhale. Reach up. Exhale. Come to that other side. Good. Lower belly pulled in. Lift your chest up. Relax your shoulders. And is this mostly to just get the blood going and flowing or what are you trying to accomplish? Yeah. You want to get the blood flowing. You want to move that breath through your body. You want to feel where you are in that body. And then we're going to finish. Inhale. Lift up. Take the hands to your chest. And we're going to remember to move through the day with gratitude. With gratitude. I am so thankful. There's so many things to be thankful for. Yes, there are. So you just do a little pause there and just, is it a good time to think about your day or is it better to like just clear your mind and not think about anything? No, it's a great time to go ahead and meditate and we're going to take your day in too. That is a perfect routine because I really, I felt a lot looser already. And that's the whole point of it, right? Yes, it is. So do you have anything in particular that you'd like to work on? Well, you know, I definitely find in the morning I need to stretch this area out and it's the hardest area for me to stretch out. What do I do? Okay, so there's a couple of things that you can do that's really simple. Really quick because I only got two minutes here, or two seconds here. We'll catch it on the next time. Okay. How about that? Because I really need to concentrate on that. Okay. But I think we have a great routine here where you can wake up in the morning. It's not too strenuous, but you can really just relax and think about your day. And I loved how you were like, but thinking about what to be grateful for. And we're grateful for you watching Every Way Woman. Every Day Kitchen is next with Every Way Woman. Kila for breakfast. Mangy Rios is coming up next with her favorite French toast recipe. We're bringing the bar home. We have Mangy here from A.D. to Kila. That's gonna show us some simple, excited butt. Okay. A.D. to Kila here. We're bringing the bar home. We have Mangy here from A.D. to Kila. That's gonna show us some simple, excited butt. Okay. A.D. to Kila here. With orange juice. Girl, I know there has to be a story. Yeah. You want to know how we went from to Kila to breakfast? Yes, I do. Okay. So from all the different types of to Kila, Añejo has the most flavor. We wanted to make sure that we took that and incorporated some other flavors into it that people could enjoy. That's different from your typical lime and salt. Everybody does lime and salt. But why not play around with breakfast? Enjoy breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day. True. But the question is, do you actually drink this for breakfast? Can you? I would, but I'm just saying. You could. You could to eat to zone. So definitely. Please show us how. Okay. So there's two different ways you can do the French toast. One is as a shot and one is as a cocktail. So the shot is a shot of Añejo. So we can pour one more here if you like. Okay. That's how good it smells. It doesn't matter how much or do you actually fill it up? I would go with the full shot. Why not? Okay. Okay. So you've got your shot. Then you're going to grab a wedge of orange. Do I do one too? Yes. A wedge of orange. And then what does it matter? What kind of oranges? Not really. We've actually done it with regular oranges. We've done it with blood oranges. So you can pretty much do it with whatever you prefer. But these are probably the best to go with. These are the ones that are in our recipes. So you can dip one side in the sugar. Okay girl. What is that? The whole thing. What is this? It's more for rimming glasses for different bars, setups and things like that. This one you can pick up at Total Wine and More. Okay. But it's great for getting different things on the rim of your glass or doing things like this where you can incorporate fruit and seasonings to your drinks. Okay. Okay. So you've got sugar on one side. And then you want some cinnamon on the other side. Just shake it off because I don't think you want too much. Or it's going to get a little spice. Try it. Try it too. So like one side like this. One side like this. Oh, this is interesting. And you can also pre-mix the sugar with the cinnamon. Okay. Completely up to you. I just did it this way because it was simpler. So what you're going to do is you're going to take the shot. Oh, no. Here is his way. I have Cheryl here with me. So you take the shot and then you try the orange. And it's going to give you a strong flavor with the cake. How is it? Not good. So different from the lime and salt. I have a question though. Is there something that you can substitute the cinnamon with if you don't like cinnamon? Because I'm not a big cinnamon person. But is that what makes it like breakfast? The cinnamon is kind of what makes it the French toast. But you can definitely incorporate other things. We do a lot of different things with fruit. Let's say if you want to spice it up. You could do the orange slice with some tahini. Tahini is really big right now. Exactly. And tahini has got so many flavors. You could do that. You could do a shot. Who thought of this? I did. I know this story. I've never been big on drinking straight liquor. I'll do it because it's in the moment. Exactly. And so I needed something else. And I'm still not a fan of like tahini lime. I needed something sweet. So the orange was throughout for me. Okay. So then that's the first one. Okay, so let's do the second one. So now we're going to make it as a drink. So we're going to rim our glass first. So we have some lime juice in here. You're just going to dip a little bit. Does it have to be lime juice? Or is it real lime juice? It is real lime juice. It's just you could squeeze an actual lime into it. Or you can buy it free concentrated. And then you're just going to kind of twist it around here to get some sugar. And then you're going to twist in here a little bit. Just dab it because you've got a lot of cinnamon in there. Now you've got your rim. Wait for me. Go ahead. So you do this. I'll see you did better than I did. Okay, so then we're going to get a little bit of ice. And then we're going to get some orange. I'm just guesstimating, but you probably want to go with about like three ounces depending on the size of your glass. And then we're going to take a shot for that in there. Like some orange for extra flavor. And you thought of this too, right? Well, it was another way to incorporate it, yes. I love it. I love it. All right. Well, your taster. I will remember my lines after. Well, girl, tier two will be back. Coming up next, more Every Way Woman. Being an Every Way Woman is all about do it yourself. Today we have Yelena Milanovic to show us how to personalize your space. Thanks for being here, Yelena. Thanks for having me. I really need your help because my walls are bare because I'm so scared to put things up. So I need your help because I don't have a lot of cash to do this. What can I do? The great thing that you could do very inexpensive. You could go maybe to the flea market, maybe a 9.9 cents store. Just find these random little frames like this. And what you could do is just take out the inside. You could even get like tissue paper, cut it to size. Okay. You could put it in the background, whatever. If you have little dresses of toys laying around, you could put that inside. These are gorgeous. Where do you find these? Well, these are some pieces that I had as a child. This is your Barbie dress, huh? Yeah. So I didn't want to throw it away. So I thought maybe to preserve it, and I can use it as an artwork form. Barbie dresses, as well. Yeah. Look at these things. They're so cute. So I can put it in a frame and maybe do like a set of four. And then that'll create like a little art piece for me on my wall, which doesn't cost that much. And just put it in there like this. Oh my gosh. And it creates like a nice little image. And I love how like, you know, it's not perfect, but it's perfect because it makes it even better. Well, you can do it any kind of way. So you can have it more centered. You could do it off to the side. However you choose. But it's a fun little project to do that's not that expensive. Look at all these different options. They're so cute. These are all your Barbie clothes? These are all Barbie clothes that I had as a kid. So even if you have children lying around. I wish I could wear these. Speaking of children, because I actually have a little boy. This is perfect for, you know, girls and even women who are into fashion. It's true. What about for boys? What can you do with boys? For boys, maybe let's say if they have toy cars, you could get little shadow boxes. Put that in there. Preserve it for them. Even like G.I. Joe outfits. You can have that place that in a frame for them and just still kind of upgrade their room as they get older and then save it. So they don't. You're giving me ideas because he has some amazing airplanes. So I need to let him not play with them anymore. Even if it's imperfect, that's the art of it. It's your child. It's a memory for you. And it's preserved. That's a great way to look at it. Now over here, you have some bringing the outside in. This is great for parties, I would think, right? Yeah. This is a great way to freshen up whatever you have current inside your house. So basically what I did is I just took a frame, turned this over. So this is something you had in your house. And it's been there forever. And instead of having like a fake, you know, plant thing, you could just go outside or the flowers that you have around your house, run out there, quickly put it inside the frame. And you could position the leaves however you want. Create your own three-dimensional. It's just like putting it wherever. It's great. And it doesn't matter. And then you frame it with the rest, which you could buy this at Ikea, maybe also at a flea market for $1, maybe $5, whatever it be. And it just gives you a new, updated, quick, fresh look. Well, and it's great because, you know, a lot of times the reason I'm not framing a lot of my stuff, because I'm like, I don't have enough money to frame. The mats and everything are so expensive. Well, you don't have to have the mats. If you just, like I said, just use the back of whatever you have currently. That is a great idea. And it's whatever current you have in your house. You could just flip it, use it, and have it be. Well, thank you so much for these ideas. Thank you for having me. And bringing in these cute little dresses. I wish we could wear them ourselves. I know. I wish I had these dresses. And what about, can you put these on display otherwise? Like, do you have like little mannequins you can put them on? Well, what else you could do is maybe use a cork board and just simply use those mannequin pins and you can use a cork board and just kind of pin them in a row and create a different kind of perspective of artwork. That is another great do-it-yourself project, because, you know, when you're drinking the wine, all those corks really add up. Exactly. It's true. The cork board is a great idea to create a cork board from that. All right. Well, Yelena, thank you so much for giving us these ideas and you're really going to help me. Now I just need to do it myself, right? Exactly. Just do it yourself. Well, thank you. Well, that's it for our show.
