Before we start: some important context about today’s episode - Em recorded while wearing Kris Jenner style sunglasses because she has a migraine. So please keep that image in your mind while you’re listening!

Today - we’re discussing Em’s shampoo disaster and a revelation that might explain why Al struggles so much in the heat.

We also discuss Skims’ latest release - a face wrap that supposedly ‘shapes and sculpts’ your jaw as you wear it overnight. We discuss why our current cultural climate is making beauty standards spiral, why we feel guilty when we do participate in beauty trends and why we can sometimes feel hypocritical when we discuss this topic.

If you’d like to join in the conversation - you can email us on [email protected] - we love you guys!
