Ask Us Anything! (January Q+As)
Ask Us Anything!
Posted a few “Ask Us Anything” question boxes on Instagram this month & wanted to share for anyone who might have missed them! Make sure to follow us on Instagram to see when the next AMA comes!
Do you both have lip filler?
Jo: Not anymore. Last time I got lip filler was ~2 years ago. It was right before everything shut down so I was like “ok cool cool, now I’m just sitting at home with these juicy lips”. Will probably get them again in the future, but I love my natural lips at the moment!
Jacqs: Not anymore either! Last time was over three years ago. Might try it again one day, but don’t have any plans to right now. I did try a little lip flip (botox right above upper lip) 5ish months ago, but did not like the way it made my smile look, so probably won’t be doing that again!

How much do you spend on workouts per month?
We both use ClassPass and were paying around $150 per month! We started partnering with CP last year so they comp our credits now. We also mix in at home workouts which are free!
Check out our YouTube channel for some quick (but sweaty) workouts! We love stacking a few videos together to make it a longer workout.
How did you decide on an engagement ring price & brand?
Neither of us had any say in the price or brand/jeweler. We told our boyfriends the style we wanted but that’s it! Honestly we didn’t care about how much it cost or where they got it.
Jacqs, any update on the jaw Botox? Results? Likes or dislikes?
I loved it! It helped drastically with clenching and grinding. I feel like I did notice it contoured my jawline a little bit, but nothing too noticeable with my first time. I will say that after I got it done I had some bruising and it lasted longer than normal Botox bruising. But overall I really liked it!
Jo, has a client ever recognized you from S&T at work?
Yes!!! I was in a virtual meeting trying to close a deal and someone was like “OMG wait, I follow you” hahah. Spoiler alert: the deal closed 😏.
Will you share your wedding planning journey(s)?
100% so excited to start sharing everything with you guys! We’ve been slacking on this but it’s a priority next month!
When you go out how many drinks do you usually have?
Jo: Either 1 or 8 … it’s kind of my toxic trait 🥴.
Can you link the resort in Cabo?
Le Blanc Resorts - we miss them already!!
How do I find a normal, nice, 28 yr old (ish) guy to date in Newport Beach?!
We’ve been out of the game for awhile so probably not the best people to ask BUT workout classes, beach city sports teams like flag football, and going out to the bars. Wild Goose has a fun crowd and all the single guys Jo knows go there!
Do you ever feel ugly or just have off days where you feel “blah” about yourself?
Yes. I immediately put some self tanner on and feel 95% better (kidding kinda). But yes, there are for sure days I feel “blah”. Usually if I’m not feeling good it’s rooted in something deeper than just my appearance though. I would try to redirect your focus on doing things that make you feel your best self (working out for endorphins, morning walks, sunshine, time with loved ones, etc). That usually fills up my cup and then it doesn’t really matter how I look because I’m fulfilled, if that makes sense? I think we put the most value in our appearance and vanity when our other buckets aren’t full because we start to become self critical ❤️.
Is college necessary in today's society for a good job? What did you both go to school for?
I think it’s totally up to you and what feels right. I’ve always taken a “conventional path” so if you had asked me this 10 years ago I would’ve said yes you need to go to college. Now I don’t agree at all. I majored in business and do think it’s really helped me in my career but that does not need to be the path for you. Do what feels right to you! There are so many traditional “rules” that don’t necessarily apply to the workplace now. I know plenty of people who haven’t gone to college and are successful! Just have a direction and some short/long term goals and you will SLAY!
What’s your current workout routine like? Do you follow a plan monthly or weekly?
Jo: I’ve been doing this routine lately & am vibing with it — feeling really strong mentally and physically!
5 Workouts Per Week:
2x Pilates
2x Strength Training
1x Cardio (Run or Spin)
Daily Walks
Jacqs - why did you move to Nashville?
My fiancé plays for Nashville SC! When he first got traded I was super nervous/excited about the move, but it’s been a great experience! Nashville has so much to do and the people are genuinely so friendly. I also think it’s helped me grow a lot being in a new environment. One day (no idea when lol) we will be back in CA, but for now loving where we are at.
What is Jo’s wedding count?
As of now we’re planning on around 150.
How many bridesmaids do you think you’ll have?
Jacqs: It’s either going to be 3 or 8 … 😅
Is it hard dividing up tasks/work with one of you being full time S&T and the other not?
Jo: We do a really good job of dividing and conquering on things but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard for me. I feel like there are times I’m not able to give 110% because of work obligations and just being spread way too thin. We’ve figured out a good routine that worked well in 2021 but will definitely be making some changes this year!
Do you participate in Chapman alumni things?
Honestly no. They keep emailing me asking me for donations and I’m like BRUH I still have student loans??? Read the room. 🙃
You can only have 1 bracelet: David Yurman, Tiffany T, or Carter?
Jo: David Yurman for me. So timeless, I wear mine all the time!
Fav place to shop for bikinis?
Maaji Swim - loving this hot pink bikini top + bottom
L*Space
Zonarch
Beach Riot
Mink Pink
How did you guys become friends?
Full Story: HERE.
Short Story: We met in college at Chapman in 2012! Then we worked at the same corporate job post grad and became really close and start S&T 💖.
How old are both of you?
28!
Can you share how you build the self control for no clothes shopping in Jan? Need help!
Don’t spend your time scrolling on clothing sites, unsubscribe from emails (cough cough Princess Polly + Revolve) and focus on what you have in your closet. It’s actually fun to be creative with stuff you already have, it just takes a little more time. There really aren’t many things you NEED so just remind yourself of that and you save so much $$ my GOD.
Fav healthy but easy breakfasts?
Yogurt bowls, Magic Spoon cereal, overnight oats, egg muffins (meal prep!), protein smoothies, toast variations (avo, PB/banana, goat cheese/smashed berries), egg + spinach scramble (can be easy tacos with tortillas too).
Would you ever go full time with S&T Jo?
YES. Love my corporate job but S&T full time is the dream…💭💘👀.
