You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Okay, it truly means the world to me. Thank you. Now, let's get into it. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Off the Vine. I am your host, Caitlin Bristow going solo today.

1:01Fly in solo, dolo. I feel like I haven't done a real catch up in a while. I've lost been going on. I want to talk about my boobyversary, the new girls, and I want to talk about where I was for three weeks after being in Canada for four weeks. I want to talk about some summer house stuff. I'm going to talk about some Bieber cellar. So let's get into it. First of all, I can't believe it's been one full year since I got a booby job. I still can't believe it when I say that. I'm like, I got a boob job. That's crazy. The fact that it was a year ago too, like that time flies when your tits are bigger. They're actually not that much bigger. They literally are one cup size bigger, maybe not even a full cup size bigger. I asked you guys on Instagram to send in some questions. You didn't hold back and I love that about you. I also feel like there's always just some weird stigma around talking about plastic surgery. It's been a big theme in my life for people to accuse me of a lot of plastic surgery when really I just have had a tiny little upper bluff of barely anything taken out and then a half cup boob job. Let's normalize being open about everything.

2:04I'm out there telling you to get boobs. I'm just telling you what I did. Let's normalize things we choose to do with our bodies. A lot of people asked if I regret it. Absolutely not. I know a lot of people worry out there about breast implant illness. That is my number one fear and if I ever feel anything like that, I will obviously get them taken out. I'm not afraid to go back to being the CEO of the itty bitty titty committee. I still think I'm maybe not CEO anymore, but I'm like mayor? No, what would it be? Right now, I'm just like employed under the itty bitty titty committee. Just not like the CEO. Okay. What is something no one tells you about getting a boob job? Honestly, it's probably the like buyer's remorse immediately after. I feel like anytime somebody gets surgery done, they're always like, oh god, what have I done? I know we saw it with Jesse Draper from the secret lives of Mormon wives. I think she's having buyers remorse on some of her surgery. She's had done. I love how open she is about it. I love how open she is about everything because that is one thing

3:05that people should be more open about is the regrets of it. But I feel like no one talks about the emotions you go through after because one, you're like taking perksets and pain meds. And that is a slippery slope to go down if you have an addictive personality. I feel like you're sleeping up right. So you're not getting proper rest. You are like, oh god, did I do the right thing? Are they going to look ridiculous? They're swollen? They're just like little things. I feel like the emotions you go through after surgery. I actually saw a podcast somebody dead. I think it was Dr. Dubro. Was it? I can't remember. It was some plastic surgeons that have a podcast with podcast one that talked about. It's like post-surgery anxiety because you know, you're all banded up and you're bloody and you got drains and all the things. So I think a lot of people get that after. I maybe had that for like two days, but then I kept looking at them and be like, God, those are good. My doctor did a great job. Dr. C the King in Nashville. A lot of people want to know what's high. What's shape? I got round, smooth, medium profile, 220 cc's. Now,

4:06I know a lot of people go, oh, they take like an inspo pick to their doctor and say, I want these. I want my boobs so that these I did it. They love having an inspo pick. But at the same time, you have to remember how your chest lays. So like the anatomy of your body is going to be different from mine. I actually have like quite a, I have a like wide sternum. Is that even what that is? Right here. I feel like it's like wide this way. So my boobs kind of like go out a bit more. So that's why we did a medium profile because I didn't want it to be out here and I didn't want it to be up here. So you really have to talk to your doctor about the anatomy of your actual body. Somebody said, did it change how you feel in your body day to day? Obviously, it doesn't fix everything. As soon as you quote unquote, fix something, which I didn't feel like I was fixing, which is a good thing. I felt like I was enhancing or just, you know, I've been working out so much that I feel like my boobs were turning into like little pecs and I just wanted it to be more of a boob. So that feels better in my everyday day to day. But I think if you're doing something on your body to fix, which I do with Botox and filler, that is where it gets to be slippery slope as well

5:06because once you fix something, you want to focus on something else. You're like, okay, fix that now onto the next, which is very dangerous. So I think it's confidence versus like neutrality of course didn't fix my body. My body was already beautiful. I just liked the enhancement of it if that makes sense. Somebody said, be honest, did it affect dating slash intimacy at all? I definitely feel like maybe I have a little more path in my steps and things like I'm like, I always felt sexy in my small boob. So it's hard to compare. But I do feel like, I don't know, I feel a bit more like, oh, yeah, get a lot of these guys when I'm naked. I don't say that. Imagine like in an intimate moment, I'm like, hey, get a load of these guys. No, I'm just more like, right? I have my one nipple pierce because if anyone's ever other nipples pierced, if you don't do them both at the same time, you won't want somebody to ever touch that one again. Because I'm like, that hurts so badly. I was 16 years old. I feel like some of you guys know that. How embarrassing. I was being like a rebel and pierced it. Now I still have it. And I thought when I got my boobs done, I would be like,

6:10you know what? It's time to mature and take out the piercing. But I asked somebody that I was seen and they said, you know what? It's kind of you. It's kind of sexy. So I said, okay, I'm kidding. For a couple more rules in the hey, am I okay? No, I'm not. Would you do anything differently? Size, placement timing. The only thing I would do differently is I would try to get like them a little. But again, this is just the shape of my body. Sometimes I do feel like they're out to the side a little too much. But I don't know if there's anything we can do about that because again, the bone. How long did it take to actually feel like yourself again? Oh, probably like a week. Again, I did not go so big. So it's not like I like stretched the skin and I was in so much pain. It was like, wow, yeah, they're just a little, they're just they are a little more. A lot of people ask me why I had drains after getting my surgery done, which I don't feel like is something a lot of people talk about. So even though it is pretty normal, after a breast augmentation, drains are sometimes placed to prevent fluid buildup while your body's healing. So it's actually quite good

7:11to have drains. A simple breakdown would be after surgery, your body kind of naturally produces fluid blood lymphatic fluid in that space. And since the surgeon kind of just created a pocket for the implant, that space can be filled with fluid, which would be really bad. And then drains just kind of help remove the fluid instead of letting it collect. So we're preventing a hematoma, excess swelling, excess pressure, infection risk. It just really depends on the surgeon's technique. I actually like that. I got that for all those reasons. I just said I got the implant over versus under the muscle. And I think that has something to do with it. And then it's also about like how much tissue is adjusted. And then just like my bleeding and swelling tendencies. So I was told they definitely reduce complications. They can actually improve healing outcomes. And most people have them for a few days to a week. And I got to have my drains out, I think after three or four days. So it sucked. But at the same time, I felt like it was the right thing for me. A lot of people wanted

8:11to know if they feel real. They do actually. That was a big, a big concern of mine. I was like, I don't want them to look super fake. And I don't want them to feel fake. I wanted them to look and feel very like natural. Yeah. It feel nice. It feel like a real booby. But I mean, definitely if you are thinking about doing it, obviously talk to your surgeon, have a night nurse or somebody that can really take care of you. Because I thought, you know, me miss, um, just independence over here, that the things she can do anything. I was like, I got it. I'll like time what time I take my medications. No, I was so out of it on pain killers. And I was so grateful to have a night nurse. She like fed me crackers with my meds. She kept a schedule. She was there while I slept, made sure I was sitting up. Like it was actually so amazing to have someone help. Um, don't do it by yourself. Somebody wanted to know, this is a great question. If my nipples feel the same after and the answer for me personally is yes, feels the exact same. I didn't lose any feeling. I didn't gain any sensation there. They feel the exact same. The only thing that feels weird is like,

9:13when I go to lay on my stomach, I'm not a stomach sleeper. Thank God. I sleep on my back like a like mummy. But I have noticed like when I go, I don't know if anybody knows what bulldog mobility is, but it helps my lower back. So when I lay on my stomach and do my bulldog mobility, I'm like, oh, that is so weird. It does feel like there's an implant in there when I lay on a flat surface. A lot of people asked if I could still get a mammogram and the answer to that is yes, I just got one. I get one every single year and I got one about a month ago. Apparently, you can still breastfeed as well because that was a concern of mine. And then I realized my best friend cat breastfed both of her children with her implants. And here's the thing about cost. My work quite reasonable. And I find that the higher the price point, it's just the more popular the doctor. It's that the doctor has a good Instagram following. So he up charges or they've done the Kardashians. Actually, I would go to that doctor, whatever. But mine was so reasonably priced. And I hope I don't like expose him and now his following goes up and then need charges extra, but it was so reasonable. Honestly, I just love talking openly about anything. I don't know why

10:16more people don't, but I just think women should feel like they can make decisions for themselves. No judgment. If you want those boobies girl and you got the money, go get yourself some boobs. Oh, I know a lot of people like we're commenting on my Instagram about me being desperate and needing attention. But that's so funny because they're like giving it to me. So then I'm like, well, you're if that is what I wanted, you're giving it to me. So thank you. My poor Harry, you know, gosh, she has been through it. Extensions, he'd color back combing. I've just definitely put it through some phases, if you will. Now for the longest time, I thought the solution was just washing it more. And if it didn't lather like crazy and feel squeaky clean, I didn't trust it. But guess what? All I was doing was stripping my scalp, which made it produce more oil. And then I just washed it again. And it was just this whole cycle. So this is why I switched to hair stories new wash. It's not shampoo. It's a cleansing cream that replaces both shampoo and conditioner in one step. Now what I love is that my hair feels clean, but not dry. And it feels softer, healthier. And I can actually go longer between washes without

11:20loading up on dry shampoo. And if you want to take scalp health one step further, I actually did this. I got their pre wash. It's a detergent free scalp rinse that helps break down build up before you cleanse with new wash. It's an easy upgrade once you're in the routine.

Okay, I am going to be annoying for a split second just because I can't really say too much about where I was for a few weeks. I want to tease it. So I will say it was something different for me. I know I always said if I was to ever do possibly a reality TV again, it would have to be traders or I would have to be hosting. But this was two things. It was so aligned with things that I love yet also so outside of my comfort zone that I felt like I had to say yes because I was like,

12:22ooh, this feels right and scary. It didn't feel wrong and scary. It felt right and scary. And it was one of those do it scared moments, but it's been exciting in a nerve racking way. And I just haven't felt that in a long time, but I'm so excited for you guys to see it. It probably won't be till next year. So I will just leave it at that. But I met a lot of new friends from a lot of different shows. There were moments where I thought, am I supposed to be here? Am I doing the right thing? I cried. I laughed. I grew. I had a panic attack all in a matter of a couple weeks. Yeah, just picture like, no, I can't even say that. That's annoying. But I want to tease it because I'm actually getting so excited. And I was like, ooh, maybe we can start talking about it because I don't know when they'll start promoting it, but it's just something that I think about daily of what I just went through. And I went through it with somebody that everybody knows from my world. And I don't know, it just had been a minute since I'd done something on TV that scared me. I feel like I'm on like a five year thing, like Bachelorette when I was 30, dancing with the stars at 35, something at 40.

13:24And then who knows, you know, maybe in five years, I'll finally get on traitors. Just kidding, miss you. I also wanted to talk about, I know it's Coachella, but everyone's calling a Bieber Chela. I need to unpack something with you guys. I never get FOMO like when crowds are out and I see packed festivals. I am like, I absolutely not. I would much rather be at home. I was making craft dinner this weekend. I was working out. I was cuddling the dogs. I played with them in the backyard. Blanket snacks like that is my Coachella. But suddenly I'm on like, take talk in Instagram and I see all these clips of Bieber. And if anyone knows me, I have had a case of the Bieber fever for quite some time now. I was just like, wait a second. Should I be there? Do I need a dust storm with 20,000 people dehydrated and wearing something super uncomfortable for the gram just to witness this? Because why did it look spiritual? Why did it feel like something that would have like healed my inner 17 year old? Oh, and then of course, the internet you guys, I hope it's not you.

14:28You go at home. You and me are fighting. If you were someone on the internet that said it was boring. Boring? I mean, I saw clips. I wasn't there. I wasn't bored. Boring because he what? Just saying because he graced us with his glorious vocal cords. I'm sorry he didn't like summer salt and have choreographed like dancers in the back and 47 backup dancers just trying to like have a Cirque du Soleil moment while he hit a high note. He just sang his raw vocals. Since when did we get bored at a man standing there? Absolutely annihilating these vocals. Like, when is that boring? I just I watched the clip and I was like, oh, again, he healed something in me. I feel like I want to say I've been like a believer since I was 20. Whenever he like first came on the scene, I mean full blown. I was like a 20 year old considering putting posters of Jess and Bieber on my wall. Like I know every lyric. I know a lot of his interviews, his hairstyle era, the swoop don't get me started on the swoop. Oh, he should have brought that back. But that man had and still has me in a chokehold. Sorry. I said it. I feel like people forget. He's not just a pop star.

15:33He is a moment. He was a moment. He is a moment. You had to be there. Now you get to be here. It's like what a career. It's like 20 years of being the biggest icon going through so many roller coasters of ups and downs in front of the world. And now you're just like a sweet dad on the beach. Is that not locking to you that he's just had a wonderful, beautiful career with a healthy marriage and a baby. And we all just want to. I don't know. Sorry. I'm getting back to calm down. He just stood there. He just stood there singing calm. He feel he feels grounded in his life right now. Not doing the most just singing. I feel like that's growth. Okay. That's hot. Bieber. If you're watching this clip, that's hot. That is confidence because you know it's actually cool is not needing to overcompensate. And he was being so creative. He like pulled out his live streams that he does. He was getting the crowd involved. He was being creative. He was harmonizing with his younger self. It was like it was such a moment. And if people say it was boring, I will personally take you up on a fight. A break dance fight. I will dance fight you if you thought Justin's Coachella performance was

16:36boring. He doesn't need fireworks. I know there was fireworks at the end, but he is the fireworks. Everyone being like, uh, like energy. No, Bades. You just lack some taste. You lack a palette for great vocals just tickling your ear holes. Not everything has to be a full blown production. Okay. Sometimes it's just talent. Honestly, and maybe kind of nostalgic in the best way. Having came on a screen when he was little, whoa, that little 20 year old didn't he was alive. She was alive. And well, she was screaming. She was crying. This is all just from being on Instagram. I can't even imagine being there. So yeah, against all odds, I guess you could say I had FOMO for the first time in a long time. Bieber Telefomo against my own will and my own personality. I I add it. And I will not be accepting any slander about that performance because my ear holes were blessed. And I wasn't even there. And uh, quite frankly, I think we should all just calm down and let that man sing because nobody can sing like Justin Bieber. Uh, okay. Speaking about the internet, not being happy. Amanda Batula West Wilson. I'm also going to read to you guys my girlfriend's perspective because she is such a long time follower of Bravo. She said from my perspective, someone who has watched

17:41Summer House from day one season one is this. We all breathed a sigh of relief when Amanda and Kyle were done. We've seen it be toxic from dating, cheating, engagement, wedding planning, wedding marriage. And I'm also a winter house and summer term viewers. So we've seen Sierra get drowned by Austin, the boy. And then really be careful with her heart and decide to give West a chance. Then we saw West completely blow it. He had a little taste of fame from Bravo viewers. And then he wanted to keep his options open. He cast Sierra aside because he had all these thirsty DMs pretty much last year. And the last season, West spent the entire season trying to get Sierra to even be his friend again. She definitely had her guard up for good reason. This season we see her finally decide to trust him again. We see West be upset that Jesse Solomon had a thing for her because bro code. Then we are literally seeing the will they won't they between West and Sierra play out. Meanwhile, Sierra is a rider die for Amanda. She is always there for her. Always has her back. Always stands up to Kyle when he's treated her like shit. And then Amanda has secretly been

18:42hooking up with West. She said honestly, who cares about Kyle? Kyle doesn't even care about Kyle in the situation. And I think too many women can relate to having their best girlfriend go for the guy who broke our heart. The things Sierra must have confided in Amanda about West maybe got giddy again about the thought of them getting back together. And then question mark. So I think that's a really good perspective. And I'm like, I am I hate this part about myself. Whoa, that's rude. I don't like this part about me very much where I want to see all sides of every story. I just want to hear it all because I'm like, you can't help who you fall in love with. The sneaking around is painful. The sneakiness is not okay. I do agree. And it's so painful to someone like Sierra that I am so aligned with. I don't like the thoughts of how much Sierra has probably told Amanda about her feelings for West. And Amanda should have just been like, stop right there. Either this is how I'm feeling or this is what's happening. I don't know. I hate it. Do you know how much anxiety I have right now? Can you tell? I'm nervous. I'm excited because I'm like, this is so scared of you

19:42guys at home that you're going to be like, you Kayla, not the wrong answer. Bitch. Die. That's what I think you guys are going to say. I just want to hear the whole story. You me. Okay. I have a soft spot. I really do. I have a soft spot for anybody in health care. Truly the hours, the energy being on your feet all day, taking care of everyone else. And I don't know how you do it.

It's very scary for me. It's very scary because over the last 10 years I have really built my life to be in the home I'm in with the dogs to have my backyard. I worked so hard to build a pool of my backyard. I feel like I'm the luckiest girl to just like be where I am in life and have the things I've always dreamt of and know that I worked really hard for it. And then I go, and now, why don't we cram into a New York apartment? I need to remember that I'm doing this. We all know I love a dog medium. I went and talked to my dog medium and I said,

22:52are the dogs going to be okay because I'm bringing them with me? And I'll come back to Nashville every once in a while. And I'm not, this is not a permanent move. I will be back to Nashville. So I need to also calm down there. But I'm like, will the dogs be happy in New York City? They've been in New York City twice. They loved it. And my medium was like, yes, they just want to be wherever you are. And I'm like, oh, cute. I'll probably get them out on more walks. And again, this is not like a permanent move. So it just feels well to say out loud. But I've always wanted a New York moment. I want to live in the city. I want to see what happens when I go into like my not skinny, not fat. Yes, era. If you don't know who that is, you probably do. But that's going to sound really weird if you don't Google it. But I just want to be like, look, New York has really good opportunity for some growth. And I feel like I want like five more years of really hard work and growing up of relationship and family. And I just feel like this is what needs to be done right now. And being in a new environment and being uncomfortable and getting comfortable and being uncomfortable. And you know, it's just exciting. That city is so electric. I love New York.

23:55I've always wanted to have a place there. I read a journal entry of mine from 20. I think it was 2020. And I said on my vision, it was like a not a vision board. Sorry. It was a journal entry. It talked about like what I want the next five years. And in there said a New York City apartment. So I was like, okay. And plus I could have so many great podcasts guests for you guys to listen to when I'm in New York. I don't have everything figured out. But I do have an apartment. It has a really great outdoor space for the dogs. I will walk them all the time. I will get so many great podcast guests. It is good for growth for me in a lot of different ways. Personally, professionally, spiritually. Sometimes you just have to trust a little part of your gut that says, just go try it. You know, what's the worst that happens? I say I hate it here. This isn't right. For me, I get to come home to my house in Nashville. I'm going to have people house sitting and watching the house. And you know, it's just going to be a whole new chapter.
