| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Forever 35, a podcast about the things we do to take care of ourselves. |
| 0:17.5 | I am Kate Spencer and I am Dorya Schafferier and we are not experts. |
| 0:24.3 | No, but we are too frantic to talk a lot about serums. |
| 0:29.1 | We just want to remind you that our website where we linked everything we mentioned on the show is Forever 35 Podcasts.com. |
| 0:36.1 | You can find us on Twitter at Forever 35 Podcasts and on Facebook where we have a Facebook group in the password to serums. |

| 1:48.1 | I mean, I still remember her because you sent me that email. |
| 1:51.1 | I do, you know what though? |
| 1:53.1 | I do occasionally think about the woman who emailed excellent adventure. |
