00:00Well, hello there. Y'all all right? Honey, I'm Tabitha Brown and today I feel so blessed to be
00:12back with Essence and Tropicana. Now, I know I've been giving y'all all the fun meal ideas to start
00:18your day off right, but today is all about wellness and what we need here to get our day
00:25started off right. Yes, because you know the thing about a cup, we can't serve anybody empty,
00:32but what we can do is pour and fill up ourselves first. Yes, so that's what's important about
00:40wellness and checking in on you, right? I check in on myself every morning, make sure I'm all right
00:48here and here. Yes, and sometimes you have to have a village who also checks in on you and you
00:54check in on them and make sure everybody is well. Yeah, so today I'm going to invite over some of
01:01my closest friends and we're going to pour into each other. We're going to eat a little bit. One
01:05of my favorite things, a little avocado toast. Yes, and we just have a good time and check in on each
01:11other. Is that all right? Yes? Well, honey, let's get into it. Had to finish that on off. All right,
01:17let's get started with our toast here. Okay, I got a little bit of sprouted bread and then of course
01:22it's an avocado toast, so I got to have an avocado. Yes, I got to make sure it's right. So as we cut
01:29this, let's just get into a conversation about avocado toast because we're talking about wellness,
01:35ain't we? So look, our bread, let's just say that's us, the body. All right, then we got an avocado.
01:43When I put avocado on the bread, I like to spread it. That's like the covering. We're covering
01:49ourselves. Yeah, that's how you can think about it. How you want to cover yourself. You can spread
01:55it thick or you can spread it thin. It's like what you need from yourself. A lot of love or just a
02:01little pat on the back and be on your way. Well, I'm going to put a little extra. Give myself a
02:05little extra love today. Is that all right? Now, we got our tomato. Okay, go ahead and slice
02:12like so like that. See, that's red. And sometimes red can be like a color of, you know, alertness or
02:21danger or a red flag, right? And sometimes we got to check in on ourselves with that. We got to know,
02:26wait a minute, something don't feel right. What is that? And it's okay. Take your moment. Figure it
02:32out. Okay. Put that on there. Like so, like that. Now, onions. Honey, you know, onions can make you cry.
02:43Yeah. And sometimes we need that. And just like an onion, okay, although it may make you cry,
02:49honey, they're very good and it'll feel good to the soul. It's okay. Now, we have a little bit
02:55of arugula. Let's put that on there. Like so, like that. This is like a plant. You know,
03:04how it grows and it's green, so that's very much so alive. You are alive. So whatever you feeling
03:09in this moment, you're alive to feel it, whether good or bad. You're checking in on yourself, right?
03:14And these pickles, honey, and they better be dill because you're a big deal. Yeah. Your wellness
03:19is a big deal. I'm going to make the rest of these. And I got some good old sweet potato
03:25hash, too. My friends going to love it. Listen, when all is sweet and a good old potato, honey,
03:29it's good for the soul. A little bit of peppers and onions in there so it's colorful, bright,
03:34like sunshine. Honey, you're going to feel real good. We're going to eat well and be well. Now,
03:39it's avocado toast, but you're seeing it like a half a sandwich. And that's our business. Listen,
03:43when we eat, honey, we eat, okay? We got to just grab it and get into it. Honey, you don't got to be
03:47cute about it. Just get it. Uh-huh. Yeah, you see. All right. Got my hash.
03:54My avocado toast. Everything is well. My friends are on the way. I'm having another
03:58little sip before they get here. Mmm. That's them. I'm so glad y'all here. Thanks, y'all.
04:06No other place I'd rather be. Okay. Very good. Look, shall we say grace?
04:12Amen. Oh, grace. We are eating good, honey. We are laughing. We're just enjoying each other.
04:19But most importantly, just like that Tropicana, honey, we are pouring and filling each other up.
04:25Look, ain't nothing better than a good meal, friends, and family to brighten your day, right?
04:30Honey, I believe that in my spirit. Listen, until next time, go and buy your business, baby.
04:36Have the most amazing day. But even if you can't have a good one, don't you dare go messing up nobody else.
04:42See ya'll next time.
04:44See ya'll next time.
