Hello everyone, it's your girl Cheeky's and you've

1:49

reached the voice mailbox for Dear Cheeky's. Give

1:52

your advice on anything and everything you need help

1:54

with. Maybe you're going through a breakup. Maybe you're

1:56

having issues with your family. Or maybe

1:58

you need help figuring out what's going on. out how to balance

2:00

your checkbook or how to start a business. Whatever

2:03

the case is, I want to hear from you. Remember,

2:06

these are my thoughts and opinions. And if

2:08

you're suffering from an issue or hardship, you

2:10

should seek help from a qualified professional. All

2:12

right, now go ahead and leave your question at the sound

2:14

of the beat. Hi,

2:17

cheeky. First, I want

2:19

to say thank you for allowing us to be

2:22

able to connect with you in this way. Advice

2:25

I wanted to ask you is, how

2:28

do you stay motivated with

2:30

working out? Sometimes I

2:32

see myself being motivated, and the next

2:34

day I become really

2:36

tired from work, and it's hard to

2:38

be motivated during these hard times. Firstly,

2:41

when I work a full-time

2:43

shift, and how do

2:45

you learn not to compare yourself to

2:47

others, especially at the gym, because

2:50

I know we're all working to become better. So

2:53

how do you normally just stay

2:55

motivated? Thank you. Melanie,

2:59

I love your question. Okay,

3:02

you have to be compassionate with

3:04

yourself, okay? It's a

3:06

word that I, I

3:09

think we all need to be more compassionate and

3:11

more patient. So when it comes to working out,

3:13

I think you just need

3:15

to start off slow. Don't, and

3:18

this is the worst thing that we can do,

3:20

is compare ourselves, our progress, to other people. Everyone

3:23

in the gym, their schedules are

3:25

different, everything, their bodies are

3:28

different. So don't compare yourself to

3:30

anyone at the gym. You go in there and

3:32

you do your thing. Don't look at anyone else,

3:34

put on your headphones, listen to your music or

3:36

a podcast, my podcast, and just work

3:38

out, okay? Here's the thing, you

3:41

have to work your way up, your

3:43

endurance, your stamina, okay? So go into the

3:45

gym and just say, I'm gonna start off

3:47

slow. I'm gonna do 20 minutes, three times

3:49

a week. So if you do Monday,

3:51

you take Tuesday off. Then you go back on Wednesday, you

3:54

take Thursday off. You go back on Friday and you sit

3:56

there. Eventually you'll be

3:58

able to go, okay. Okay, I'm

4:00

gonna go and do five days out of the

4:02

week. That's what I do. And I take a

4:04

day. I do Monday, Tuesday, take off Wednesday. I

4:06

try to. Thursday, Friday, and then I take off

4:09

Saturday. And like, I just, your body needs rest.

4:11

So that's important. And start off with

4:13

at least 20 minutes. What you're trying to do

4:15

here is break a sweat, release toxins, release stress.

4:18

And little by little, you're gonna start liking it.

4:20

Remember, to create a habit, you need at least

4:22

21 days. So remember that. So

4:25

even if you're like, damn, don't give up the first week.

4:27

Don't give up the second week. Give it some time. Just

4:30

know that your body is still getting acclimated. It's

4:32

getting used to it. And you're gonna be sore.

4:34

Make sure you're drinking water to keep those muscles

4:36

nice and hydrated so you're not too sore. And

4:39

be patient with yourself, babe. Be

4:41

patient. Don't compare yourself to

4:43

anyone else. This is your journey. You focus

4:45

on your journey and what you can do

4:47

based on your schedule. Go in

4:49

the morning, go after work, but just

4:52

say, okay, I'm making a promise to myself because this

4:54

is going to make me feel better. Yes, we wanna

4:56

look better, but more than anything, we wanna feel better

4:58

because for me, working out gives me mental clarity. I

5:01

just feel so much better here and

5:04

then everything else. You know, so think about it

5:06

in that way. All right, Melanie, so I hope

5:08

that did answer your question and I am wishing

5:10

you the best on this journey. It's a good

5:13

one. You're gonna feel better. Make this

5:15

a lifestyle. This is a lifestyle. This is forever

5:17

because we need to move our bodies. In order

5:19

to keep them working and feeling their best, we

5:21

have to move it. We have to move it

5:23

every day in some way. Start

5:26

off slow. So

5:30

our next question comes from Vanessa. Hey,

5:33

cheekies. I would like to

5:35

see how you as a

5:37

person is so strong to, like,

5:42

even though you know, like, the world is coming

5:45

at you, you go

5:48

through it, like, nothing is gonna

5:50

stop you because you're the bad bitch, you know? And

5:54

I just wanna know, like, how

5:56

do you cope with everything

5:58

whenever you're like... Like you're

6:01

going through it but you don't want nobody to know

6:03

that you're actually going through it when the world is

6:05

just throwing everything at you. You know what I mean?

6:10

Vanessa, okay. Like

6:12

fake it to make it sort of thing. Yeah,

6:16

sometimes I've learned

6:18

that if I'm upset

6:20

with someone or someone hurt my feelings or I'm

6:23

going through something, I don't take it out on

6:25

everyone else. It's no one else's fault that I'm

6:28

feeling some type of way. It's

6:30

a waste of time and

6:32

I'm very intentional about that because it's no

6:34

one else's fault, you know? And

6:37

that's what helps me now. Like there are days where

6:39

I am, my heart is absolutely broken with things that

6:42

are happening and I have to go get on stage

6:44

or I have to come and do my podcast or

6:46

I have to go give

6:48

interviews and

6:50

I choose, it's a

6:53

choice. I choose to put a smile on

6:55

my face because I know this too shall

6:57

pass. Whatever it is

6:59

that I'm going through, yes, it's hurting me,

7:01

yes. I'm going through it but I know

7:04

that this too shall pass and I tell

7:06

myself that. It's just a moment. It's

7:08

not a bad day. It's not a bad life. It's

7:10

just a bad moment and that helps me.

7:13

And it's okay. We

7:15

all have them and it's all how we

7:17

choose to navigate

7:19

through it and

7:21

how we react to things, you know,

7:23

that make the biggest difference. It's

7:27

not allowing people or things to

7:30

get the best of us to the point

7:32

where it changes our essence and that's difficult

7:35

but it's a choice. It's

7:37

choosing. With that being said,

7:39

choose. Choose to smile. Choose

7:43

to think and to know that

7:46

whatever it is that you're going through is

7:48

going to pass. You're going to

7:50

learn from it and choose to have a good day. So

7:52

you know what? No matter what, I'm going to choose to

7:54

smile. I'm going to choose to have a good day. I'm

7:56

going to listen to a song that makes me so damn

7:58

happy. I want to dance. I

8:00

was like, damn, I

8:02

had a bad workout, but you know what? Eff it. It's all

8:04

good. I'm going to listen to Prince. And I listened to Prince

8:07

and I felt better. I was like, you know what? Yes. So

8:11

listen to a song that somebody is going to cheer you

8:13

up. Okay. Hope to help Vanessa.

8:15

I'm going to do this. Okay. Hola,

8:21

que tal. This is cheekies from the cheekies

9:05

crime podcast to live and die in LA.

9:09

I'm here to tell you about the new podcast.

9:11

I've been undercover investigating for the last year and

9:13

a half. It's called to die

9:15

for here's a clip. All

9:20

those girls were sent out into

9:22

the world and they were told

9:24

try to meet important men. Try

9:26

to attach yourself to important men.

9:28

The voice you're hearing is a Russian

9:31

model agent telling me about spies sent

9:33

out to seduce men with political power.

9:36

The war in Ukraine is also being

9:38

fought by all these girls

9:40

that are all over important

9:42

cities. For the first time, a military

9:45

trained seduction spy revealed how the

9:47

Russian government turned sex and love

9:49

into a deadly weapon. If

9:51

you want to kill the

9:54

target, it's easy. You

9:56

just abuse him, take him

9:58

on there. having sex

10:00

and then he's very vulnerable so you can kill

10:02

him easily. To Die For

14:00

just met her and we started doing these

14:02

lives and it's helping people out. And I

14:04

can't necessarily recommend Maria Mendoza to you guys.

14:06

I'm just, I do these lives and

14:08

it's on you guys if you want to use her or call

14:10

Instagram as abogada Maria Mendoza. And

14:16

then she has her number there. So you guys can go

14:19

ahead and send her a DM if you have any questions.

14:21

So Maria, Okay guys, so the

14:23

last question comes from Olivia. I

14:40

just wanted to know basically like if you can give

14:43

us some advice on if

14:45

we want to do like a surgery or I

14:47

want to get rid of my double chin, what

14:49

to do. My arms, it's so annoying. Like I

14:51

got all these little fatty issues all

14:54

around. So I feel you girl. If you can give us

14:56

some little information on what to

14:58

do, why not to do in places where you

15:00

recommended things like that or

15:02

I don't know, exercises, my double chin. Also

15:04

I wanted to throw in something. So

15:07

I had this really weird dream. This is about,

15:09

this has been a long time already but

15:13

my mom passed away. And then the year after your mom

15:15

passed away when it was going to be her one year,

15:17

you know, anniversary that she had passed, I

15:21

had a weird dream that my mom and your mom

15:23

were sitting at our dining table talking to each other.

15:25

It was so crazy. I don't know if it was

15:27

cause I was like so obsessed with your mom's music

15:29

and I love her shows everything. And the shows, I

15:32

love Jenny. Maybe that's why, but just wanted to let

15:34

you know I had that weird dream. Oh,

15:38

Olivia, thank you for sharing your, your not weird

15:40

dream. I think that's really pretty. I

15:42

think that's awesome. They were hanging out. Maybe they are. Maybe they

15:44

are hanging out up there. But okay,

15:47

in regards to your question, I have

15:49

gotten liposuction on my arms. It's the

15:51

best thing I ever did in my whole life. Mind

15:54

you, not

15:56

all liposuction and not all doctors because

15:58

I want to say, I got liposuction on

16:00

my arms like I think three times that's

16:02

the truth. The last time I did it

16:05

was like two years ago and it was

16:07

with a doctor in Tampa, Florida. His

16:09

name is Celebrity Arms, I believe like that.

16:11

Celebrity Arms on Instagram, check them out. Amazing.

16:16

So, you're not under general anesthesia which means

16:18

when you're like asleep like out, you are

16:21

like awake. So, I'm

16:23

not gonna lie, pretty traumatic but I

16:25

would do it all over again. I was

16:27

in so much pain. He

16:29

loves you, he numbs you but like you're feeling it

16:31

like the tugging and the pressure but

16:34

the reason you're awake is because he's having

16:36

you make all these different moves to make

16:38

sure he's shaping the muscle so you have

16:40

to hold tight. It was

16:42

pretty gnarly but again, I would

16:45

do it all over again. I am

16:47

so happy. And

16:50

I did it before I lost weight which I wish I would

16:52

have done it after I lost weight but

16:54

whatever, he also has this thing where he tightens the skin. I

16:56

didn't get the tightening of the skin. Now

16:59

that I lost weight, it's a little bit loose.

17:01

I have to do more arm workouts but for

17:03

sure, it's like a lot of freaking boxing helps

17:05

with the arms as well. On

17:07

my neck, I did get also lipo

17:11

on there. I didn't like

17:13

it. I did that a long time ago

17:15

and I did it again all before

17:17

losing the weight first. But

17:21

now, I just, I

17:23

mean for the papada, you just have to be

17:26

really careful. You just have to find a very

17:28

good doctor that does plasma. I would recommend it

17:30

being lipo but with plasma because that tightens and

17:33

someone that really does shape it because they need to be

17:35

an expert because there's a lot of nerves here. So

17:37

you have to be very, very careful with that. And

17:41

yeah, I do Botox here now because

17:43

you know, gravity, y'all, gravity. So

17:46

I do Botox. I haven't done it and

17:49

well, whatever. I mean, I lost weight and it

17:51

is what it is. The Morpheus helped a lot.

17:53

I did Morpheus A, so that helped Titan. But

17:56

with this area, it's just, it's all in

17:58

the eating. It's honestly. 75%

18:01

of what we eat and it's where we

18:03

grow. It's just we got to be careful. I

18:05

mean it is what it is. So I would

18:07

definitely say to you know tighten up the

18:10

nutrition aspect of it because we're all looking for

18:12

easy fixes lipo and all this but the thing

18:14

with lipo is if you don't take care of

18:17

yourself and I learned the hard way is

18:20

the fat will go to your toes. It'll go

18:22

to your nose. It'll go literally anywhere. The fat

18:24

will find we need a certain amount of fat

18:26

cells in our body. So if we're

18:29

trying to remove it from here and we're still

18:31

eating like shit then it's gonna go to our

18:33

wrists. It'll find its way. So that's

18:35

the thing with liposuction. So which is why I was

18:37

like I don't want to do that anymore.

18:39

I just want to eat good. I want to work out you know.

18:41

So anyways that's just you ask

18:44

me I'm gonna be real. So Olivia

18:46

thank you for your question. Put my business all

18:48

out there but anyways you guys know that's what

18:50

we do here under your cheekies. I answer your

18:52

questions. I don't listen to these questions before. I

18:55

like to be very like I

18:58

wean it. I like to just hear it and give you

19:00

guys from the bottom of my heart you

19:03

know what I think. So you

19:05

guys thank you. Thank you Melanie, Vanessa, Maria

19:07

and Olivia for your questions. You guys that

19:09

are watching now and listening if you have

19:11

a question about anything you saw I just

19:13

answered about my lipo. If you have a

19:16

And let me tell you, I love booking a

20:05

trip where I can escape. There's

20:07

nothing like spending a few days at the

20:09

beach relaxing and spending time with family no

20:14

no matter your reasons, the Delta Sky Miles

go. If you travel, you know.

There's a lot of pros to drinking health

20:22

aid kombucha. No cons that I can think

20:24

of. Pro? Amazing taste.

20:27

Pro? Pairs well with anything. Pro? Pro-biotic?

20:31

That's a literal pro. And it's

20:33

deliciously refreshing. It's the perfect

20:35

pairing to your meal or great on its

20:37

own whether you're having pink lady apple, berry

20:40

lemonade or one of the other great flavors.

20:42

It's the perfect swap for soda or alcohol.

20:44

Make a part of your daily routine.

20:47

Look for the brown bottle with an anchor on it

20:49

and try a health aid kombucha.
