Summary
This week, we’re getting into everything we’ve been doing in the name of beauty—treatments, tweaks, and… stem cells?!
Sara kicks things off with a full rundown of her recent visit to the new Things We Do location in West Hollywood, where she tried Sculptra, Skinvive, and PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix). What is PRFM, how is it different from PRP, and why is everyone talking about it right now? Then, Kirbie shares her experience with a next-gen peel from Australian brand UltraCeuticals that she’s eager to see the results of.
And finally: we both took things to the next level with Acorn Bio Labs at Facile—yes, we did stem cell retrieval. We’re breaking down what it is, why we did it, and what this could mean for the future of beauty (more to come here…).
In news, we’re talking about Susan Yara’s new-ish brand launch: Playa. (Sound familiar? There's a reason.) What can we expect? We’re breaking it down.

| 0:05.7 | Hi, Kirby. Hi, Sarah. |
| 0:08.6 | Welcome to Los Angeles. |
| 0:14.3 | So you probably can't tell, but Kirby saw my face yesterday without makeup. |
| 0:19.6 | And it looks like I fell hard on the pavement |
| 0:23.8 | and I have bruises all around my lower face, my mouth. |
| 0:28.3 | Yes, she came over and I looked at her like, oh, are you okay? |
| 0:32.5 | My God. |
| 0:33.2 | Do you need help? |
| 0:33.9 | Are you all right? |
| 0:34.5 | I'm a little nervous. |
| 0:35.7 | What happened? |
| 0:36.4 | I knew what happened. |
| 0:37.4 | She has told me. So this week has been a big week for Sarah getting stuff done for the first time. Yes. Yes. And you too. Also, you got some stuff. Yes, I did. So as everyone knows, listening, Kirby and I are on our glow up to 40 quest. Yes. We're just doing all the things to look and feel our best by December and January. |
| 0:58.7 | And one of the first things I did in January was text our dear friend Vanessa Lee from the things we do. |
| 1:04.9 | And I was like, what can I do to look like myself but better? |
| 1:10.1 | What would you prescribe me? And, you know, she's all about |
| 1:12.7 | facial balancing and, like, she is a walking billboard because she looks so good, but it |
| 1:18.9 | looks like just so natural. Yes. So she told me, sculpture at the hairline, which is supposed to |
| 1:24.5 | lift and firm from the outside in, then a little bit of |
| 1:29.2 | hyluronic acid filler in my mid face to replace some volume loss, skin vive around my lower |
