0:00.0	Back to skincare anarchy. This is your host, Ekta. And today I have with me Sophia Panich,
0:07.9	who is the editorial content director for Pop Sugar UK. So welcome to the show. So if you
0:12.8	am so excited, you had time. Thank you. Thank you for having me. It's my pleasure. I would love
0:21.5	to get started. As I always do, I want to know all about your career and your journey in editorial
0:26.3	and how you really, you know, pick that as your career and got to where you are now.
0:31.2	Okay. So I'm going to try and make this as concise as possible.
