Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hello, everyone, it's your big sister Cheeky's and you've reached
my personal voicemailbox for the Dear Cheeky's podcast. I'm here
to give you a device on anything and everything you
need help with. Whether you're going through a breakup or
having issues with your family, or maybe you have a
question about my personal life. Whatever the case is, I
want to hear from you. Remember these are my thoughts
(00:39):
in my opinions, and if you're suffering from a serious
issue or hardship, you should seek help from a qualified professional.
All right, now, go ahead and leave your message at
the sound of the beeB.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Hi, Cheekey's.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Thank you for taking a call from me in the past.
Or you answered questions about your interior dialogue being Spanish
or English, and your thoughts on Mariposa about you, and
I'm hoping you take this call today to take me
on a deep dive about perfume. I'm a collector and
a lover. I have several bottles of Reina and I've
been collecting your mom's perfumes as well. Now, of course
(01:13):
i've heard you talk about how you helped develop per perfume,
went to China. All of that tell us about it.
Go on a deep dive. I have been collecting the
four women's perfumes that I've seen. There's Forever, There's Jenny,
they have the same bottle design. There is Jr. And
Mariposa they have a different but similar bottle design. And
(01:37):
tell me about it. Were those all ones that you did?
Were they ones that your mom had any input on?
And also, as a lover of perfumes, tell me a
little bit more about what's coming next for you as
a maker. I actually have created my own the Amnthe
and Jenay perfumes. I would love to share them with
you someday. You let me know, let your people reach
(01:59):
out to my people and I'll get you some sample's girlfriend.
But yeah, tell us all about it. What was the
process like, was your mom really involved in all of these?
What was even the order of the release? All these
information details I'm dying to know. Let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh my gosh, Alyssa, your voice, it's so like beautiful.
You should have your own podcast or like do like
meditation guides or something. You have a beautiful voice. And
thank you so much. I'm so glad that I was
able to answer your question before and I gladly will
answer your question now. Thank you for the support that
you've given my perfume and my mom's as well. And
yes I have Reina, and just let me get into
(02:36):
it really quick. But I do have a working on
a new fragrance right now. It's going to be a
unisex and it's going to be called Actually I probably
shouldn't say the name yet, but it is a unisex
and it smells divine. It's so beautiful and I cannot
wait to smell what you came up with the month.
I love that. That's actually a great name. So yes,
we will figure it out to see how I can
(02:57):
get a sample of it. But yes, so I started
the perfume. My mom would just have these ideas like
I want a makeup and skincare line, and we found
the right person and I, you know, did all the
footwork and handled all the day to day stuff and
just made it happen for her. And one day she
said I want a gene line, and I helped her
with that too. I would find the manufacturers. And when
(03:19):
she told me that she wanted to perfume a fragrance
because she loved fragrances, she would always wear tressoor that
was like her go to and she wanted to come
out with her own because people would always tell her
you smell so good. And she's like, you know what,
there's something here. I want my own fragrance. And she
gave me a budget, very small budget. She says, I want,
you know, here, sixty thousand dollars. Figure out how you're
going to do it, but I want my own perfume.
(03:41):
And I looked and I looked, and it was just
very expensive to make it here in the States. So
I said, Mom, I'm gonna have to go overseas. I
need to go to China. And what I'll do is
have them make it there and then maybe we can,
you know, replicate it here in the States or whatnot.
So that's what I did. I was around twenty three
years old, and I found someone that could help me
out there. I'm found a manufacturer, and I flew out
(04:02):
there by myself and it was a very nice experience.
But the day that I left to China, my mom
and I were fighting. We got an argument because I
don't know what, so we weren't talking and I was
just like, but it gave me that fire within to say,
you know what, I need to show my mom that
I can do this, and it just I don't know.
(04:24):
I freaking killed it in three weeks. I had a
whole thing. I knew what my mom liked already. I
knew her very well, so like the scent and everything.
I mean, because there was no time, obviously, I was
all the way in China, in Guanzhou to send her
samples or anything. So I just did it myself. And
I was like, I know she's gonna be happy. I
know my mother, and thank goodness I did because she
loved everything. And that was how the Perfume JR. Was born,
(04:48):
because we didn't really name it anything. It was just JR,
her logo, her initials, and that's I think, to this day,
our top seller. And with the other fragrances that you
have that are also amazing, I did not. I just
helped with, you know, choosing the set and saying I
like it, or maybe we should add a little bit
of this or whatnot. But everything else the old administration
(05:10):
handled and my siblings. But yeah, I mean, I love fragrances.
I always have. I want to smell good, So I'm
so glad that you're enjoying them, and yeah, I mean
I totally get into it a lot more because there's
so much of that story, but obviously we're on Dear
Cheeky so we can't. But maybe one day I can
do a Cheeki's and Chill episode to talk about that experience,
because it was definitely a good one. Thank you so much,
(05:33):
Melyssa for your question, and I look forward to hearing
from you again. Okay, guys, next question comes from Joscelyn
Hi Tiggie's.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I'm a very big supporter of yours and recently met
you for the first time doing really the amount of store.
I've always felt that you were such an inspiring and
comforting person who I admire very much, which is why
I wanted your advice on this topic. I'm currently a
senior in high school preparing to go off to college
later on this year. My question for you is, do
you have any advice you could give me, as I've
never really been away from home or my parents, any
(06:04):
advice that you'd give on how to navigate through a
completely new chapter while we're taking on that role of
complete independence. Thank you for being who you are and
I love and miss you very much and hope to
see you again soon.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh, Jocelyn, thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
You're so sweet.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, so, I know it is a little scary. It's
a scary thought because you're stepping into the unknown, you know,
moving out. It's something new, and you feel that you
know your parents protect you and you feel safe, and
I get that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It took me a while to move out. My circumstances
were a little different, but when I did, that's when
I really like stepped into my own and it just
helps you appreciate the value, the real value of money
and budgeting and stuff like that. So I think my
advice to you would be, make sure you have a
job first of all before you move out, because you're
(06:53):
going to need means to pay for your rent and
feed yourself and stuff and budgeting yourself and knowing you
know exactly how much your rent will be, or are
you going to roommate and we're going to go grocery shopping,
because all of that stuff matters. So definitely a job
is number one. And just knowing that you will have
some bumps in the road that is normal, and don't
(07:14):
get discouraged. It's part of adulting, and adulting is uncomfortable.
But with that comes you becoming your best self, you know,
and stepping into your own strength and your own courage
and your wisdom. And that's going to take time, so
be patient and compassionate. But that is I think the
number one thing. Definitely getting a job and hopefully finding
(07:35):
a roommate because carrying that whole weight on your own
could be a lot, especially if you're moving out for
the first time on your own. So those are the
things that I would definitely do. But I think it's
great that you are willing to do this and start
your life. I feel like the sooner, the better kind
of ish and the Latin family, It's like the longer
you stay at home, the better. Don't leave until you
(07:55):
get married. But if you are feeling this in your heart,
then I think that you should try. It's my advice.
So thank you so much, Justlyn. Okay, guys, next question
comes from Valerie hi Chieky's.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I just wanted to stop by and tell you that
I love your podcast and I love every topic you
speak about on the podcast. So I have a very
sensitive topic to speak about, which would be a miscarriage.
I myself had a miscarriage October twenty twenty four. I
also struggle with infertility for two years, and I'm finding
(08:33):
myself struggling and dealing with the miscarriage grief. How did
you deal with miscarriage grief? And I know this pain
never ends, but how are you dealing with the miscarriage grief?
I would love for you to respond back and give
me some tips of how you're dealing with your miscarriage grief.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Thank you, oh Valerie, thank you so much. Thank you
first and foremost for supporting being a listener and loving
my podcast. It means a lot to me. Love the feedback.
And yes, so miscarriage, Yeah, that was That was a
tough one.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It was hard. I think what helped me was definitely
like my faith in God and just knowing and I
know it sounds cliche and stuff, but like knowing that
everything does happen for a reason. Also, when I spoke
to my doctor and my doctor said that most likely
it wasn't a healthy egg, that also made me feel
(09:26):
a little bit better. You know, I'm like, Okay, well
maybe that's just God, you know, helping me make the
decision for me so I don't have to make the
decision later. Kind of that also helped me, gave me
more peace and just you know, leaning on God is
what really helped me, you know, and and my partner
and having his support too and medios. But I prayed
(09:46):
myself through it and I was like, you know, God,
if this is your will, then helped me accept it,
heal my heart. And when I think about it is
something that kind of just tugs at my at the
strings of my heart a little bit. But I know
that I have a little angel in you know, in
heaven and is you know, there to give me love from.
(10:08):
It's just I know it's just so hard. I get it,
but it's just going to take time. It happened in October,
mine happened in June, so so just know it's going
to take a little bit of time and time heals.
And just know that God knows what he's doing. God
knows when, why, and how, so you'll have your rainbow baby.
Have faith that you'll have a rainbow baby. I didn't
(10:28):
know what a rainbow baby was until I had my miscarriage.
So I will be praying for both of our uteruses
and praying for God's will to be done. But I'm
sending you a big hug valery because I know there's
I'm even like it's tough. I feel like with situations
like this, there's really nothing that anyone can tell you
to make you feel better. But all I could say
(10:49):
is that the faith I had in God and I
haven't God, should I say it really helped me through.
So sending you a big hug. K Okay, guys, So
next question comes. The last question actually comes from Emily.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hey, Cheeky, how are you. I hope you're doing well.
And my question to you is what is the most
valuable thing to you? And I'm just curious to know.
I love you and I watch all your podcasts all
the time, like I always look forward to them, and yeah,
(11:23):
and I always tell my friends family about it. And
I really love the advice you give on the podcast.
I appreciate your honest opinions. And yeah, I love your
Cheeky's hope you have a wonderful day. Bye.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh I love this. I love when people tell me
they love my podcast. Thank you guys so much for listening,
for taking the time and coming back and you know,
feeding your soul with positive things. So thank you so much.
And Emily in regards to your question. That's a good question.
It's so crazy because I'm like, I feel like I
can give advice all day long, but then you ask
me a question and I'm like, oh, wait, what is
(11:59):
the most valuable thing to me or what's valuable to
me more than like a materialistic thing. Emily, I'd have
to say, I think honesty is very valuable to me
because with honesty comes integrity, and comes trust and so
many other things. I think when you are able to
(12:21):
be honest with yourself and with the world, I think
that definitely gives you a lot of power within yourself.
So I feel like that's very, very valuable to me,
is honesty, Honesty with myself, honesty with others, people being
honest with me. So that's the first thing that popped
into my head when you were asking the question. So,
(12:42):
I mean, I'm sure there's other things that are very
valuable to me, but that's the first thing that came up.
And actually, Emily talking about a materialistic thing, because maybe
if you asked me this question when I was younger,
I'd think like, oh my gosh, like a purse or
some shoes or something. I don't know, But now I
think if I had to choose something that was materialistic,
(13:02):
I guess something you know, physical. I would probably for
sure take my ring, my wedding ring. It's very important
to me. That's definitely valuable for so many reasons, not
just because you know, I media gave it to me
and it's a beautiful ring. I love it, but also
because what it stands for, what it means, what it represents.
My dogs are very valuable, you know. Other than that,
(13:26):
I think that's it. Like even my mom's stuff, for instance,
that for so long I held onto because they gave
me comfort. I had a dress, I had some of
her hair before, and those things I think were keeping
me from completely healing. So I let them go and
(13:49):
you guys will probably see those things in my mom's
museum coming very soon, hopefully. But I even had to
feel like I had to. Like my mom, I felt
like was telling me for so long, like you can't
hold on to that, You got to kind of let
it go, you know, And when I did, I felt
a little bit better. So I feel like my mom
is in my heart and in my mind, and that's
where I keeper, you know, because I was holding onto
(14:11):
those things with dear life and I think it was
affecting me more than helping me. So I feel like
like material things I try not to like don't hold
that much value for me as much as other things. Anyways,
I really appreciate your question. I like that so you guys,
You guys can ask me anything, so you know, it
could be deeper questions about relationships, about love, about even businesses.
(14:34):
If you are wanting to start your own business, I
can definitely give you advice. I mean, you know, all
the advice that I give you, guys comes from my
own personal experiences, and you know I'm not always right
and I'm not a professional. Let me remind you, guys,
but I definitely will give you the best advice that
I possibly can. I have your best interests at heart,
for sure. So if you have a question, you can

but it's just going to take time. It happened in October,
mine happened in June, so so just know it's going
to take a little bit of time and time heals.
And just know that God knows what he's doing. God
knows when, why, and how, so you'll have your rainbow baby.
Have faith that you'll have a rainbow baby. I didn't
(10:28):
know what a rainbow baby was until I had my miscarriage.
So I will be praying for both of our uteruses
and praying for God's will to be done. But I'm
sending you a big hug valery because I know there's
I'm even like it's tough. I feel like with situations
like this, there's really nothing that anyone can tell you
to make you feel better. But all I could say
(10:49):
is that the faith I had in God and I
haven't God, should I say it really helped me through.
So sending you a big hug. K Okay, guys, So
next question comes. The last question actually comes from Emily.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hey, Cheeky, how are you. I hope you're doing well.
And my question to you is what is the most
valuable thing to you? And I'm just curious to know.
I love you and I watch all your podcasts all
the time, like I always look forward to them, and yeah,
(11:23):
and I always tell my friends family about it. And
I really love the advice you give on the podcast.
I appreciate your honest opinions. And yeah, I love your
Cheeky's hope you have a wonderful day. Bye.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh I love this. I love when people tell me
they love my podcast. Thank you guys so much for listening,
for taking the time and coming back and you know,
feeding your soul with positive things. So thank you so much.
And Emily in regards to your question. That's a good question.
It's so crazy because I'm like, I feel like I
can give advice all day long, but then you ask
me a question and I'm like, oh, wait, what is
(11:59):
the most valuable thing to me or what's valuable to
me more than like a materialistic thing. Emily, I'd have
to say, I think honesty is very valuable to me
because with honesty comes integrity, and comes trust and so
many other things. I think when you are able to
(12:21):
be honest with yourself and with the world, I think
that definitely gives you a lot of power within yourself.
So I feel like that's very, very valuable to me,
is honesty, Honesty with myself, honesty with others, people being
honest with me. So that's the first thing that popped
into my head when you were asking the question. So,
(12:42):
I mean, I'm sure there's other things that are very
valuable to me, but that's the first thing that came up.
And actually, Emily talking about a materialistic thing, because maybe
if you asked me this question when I was younger,
I'd think like, oh my gosh, like a purse or
some shoes or something. I don't know, But now I
think if I had to choose something that was materialistic,
(13:02):
I guess something you know, physical. I would probably for
sure take my ring, my wedding ring. It's very important
to me. That's definitely valuable for so many reasons, not
just because you know, I media gave it to me
and it's a beautiful ring. I love it, but also
because what it stands for, what it means, what it represents.
My dogs are very valuable, you know. Other than that,
(13:26):
I think that's it. Like even my mom's stuff, for instance,
that for so long I held onto because they gave
me comfort. I had a dress, I had some of
her hair before, and those things I think were keeping
me from completely healing. So I let them go and
(13:49):
you guys will probably see those things in my mom's
museum coming very soon, hopefully. But I even had to
feel like I had to. Like my mom, I felt
like was telling me for so long, like you can't
hold on to that, You got to kind of let
it go, you know, And when I did, I felt
a little bit better. So I feel like my mom
is in my heart and in my mind, and that's
where I keeper, you know, because I was holding onto
(14:11):
those things with dear life and I think it was
affecting me more than helping me. So I feel like
like material things I try not to like don't hold
that much value for me as much as other things. Anyways,
I really appreciate your question. I like that so you guys,
You guys can ask me anything, so you know, it
could be deeper questions about relationships, about love, about even businesses.
(14:34):
If you are wanting to start your own business, I
can definitely give you advice. I mean, you know, all
the advice that I give you, guys comes from my
own personal experiences, and you know I'm not always right
and I'm not a professional. Let me remind you, guys,
but I definitely will give you the best advice that
I possibly can. I have your best interests at heart,
for sure. So if you have a question, you can
