Hello, hello, it's Brooke Desard and you're listening to the Naked Beauty podcast.

I am still on my travel.

I went to Tokyo.

I had an incredible time, like truly the best time I can't wait to do a deep dive episode

on all of the beauty findings there.

And now I'm in the Hampton spending time with family.

I've been reunited with my son.

We're having the absolute best time.

Shout out to all my Leo's.

It's finally Leo's season.

My breath is coming up pretty soon.

And a huge theme for me this August is rest, relaxation, setting time to refocus and

just get my life together before the fall starts.

I cannot believe we're almost at the end of summer.

You all are going to love this episode of Candice and you are really in for such a treat.

Like I could listen to this woman speak for hours and hours and hours.

She's incredibly smart and incredibly funny and we get into like beauty conversation.

But we also get into very deep conversation about interracial dating and self acceptance

and knowing when to drop toxic friends.

I mean, we really run the gamut throughout this whole conversation.

And I'm very grateful to Candice for coming on the show and sharing so much with us.

Now if you're listening to the podcast and you love the podcast, please take the time
