Summary

Writer and journalist Sali Hughes links up with Fi and Jane for this week's episode of Fortunately. In this edition, Sali uses her expertise as a beauty columnist to advise Fi and Jane on the best approach to looking after yourself in lockdown. They also go a bit more zoological to analyse the animal kingdom's approach to beauty, find out the impact of the internet of the cosmetic world and discuss the weirdest samples Sali has ever received. In the first half of the podcast Jane's lyrics have been set to music by singer songwriter Jo Elise. Fi has flashbacks to the maternity ward and Jane's memories involve a private dancer and a jockstrap.

0:45.1	Are you itching your nose with a nail file?
0:47.4	I am, I've got an emery board and I'm just caressing my nostrils with it.
0:52.8	That is a unique form of exfoliation.
0:55.0	I tell you what, I've got a small sanding machine downstairs for those very, very difficult
0:59.8	bits.
1:00.8	It would be quite difficult, but if you can pop it into an envelope and pop it over to
