| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to February 35, a podcast about the things we do to take care of ourselves. I'm Dori Schaeffrear. |
| 0:17.9 | And I'm Elise Hugh, and we're just two friends who like to talk a lot about serums. And this is a mini episode where we hear from you. We share your comments and your thoughts |
