Summary

We’re diving into Kris Jenner’s recent facelift reveal, and why her transparency is both refreshing and complicated. While we applaud her openness about getting work done, we also need to talk about the ongoing use of filters, Facetune, and digital tweaks that still distort what we see online. It’s a reminder that even when celebrities are honest about procedures, what they post is still far from unfiltered reality. In this episode, we open up the conversation about comparison culture, digital beauty standards, and the impact this has on everyday women. Are we chasing real results or filtered fantasies? Let’s get honest about beauty in the age of editing.
