Summary

This week, we’re sharing our reviews on products that have gotten a lot of internet hype and answering the question: IS! IT! WORTH IT! Our listeners requested items in various categories they wanted our opinions on, and we’re breaking down our thoughts from the cost of the item, how long we’ve used it, what we like/don’t like about it, and how it compares to alternatives!

0:00.0	Hi everyone and welcome to Bad on Paper podcast. I'm Olivia Mentor and I'm Becca Freeman.
0:23.9	And today we're talking about what hyped products are worth it. So these are the things
0:29.0	that you've seen all over Instagram that you've seen your favorite or least favorite influencers
0:34.8	advertise or use or chill and yeah we're going to talk about the products we've used the ones we
0:43.2	like the ones we don't like and why. But before we get into it I have something that I do think
0:49.9	is worth it not just because it's a sponsor but also because I genuinely really love it. We have a
0:54.4	new sponsor today that we're so excited to tell you more about newly is our new favorite clothing
1:00.0	rental subscription service. Bad on paper listeners can get $20 off their first month at newly.com

1:49.0	over the course of October but I'm so so excited my book is called The Christmas Orphans Club.
1:56.4	It's about a group of four friends who are all alone on Christmas for different reasons and have
2:01.4	built a tradition of spending the holiday together having these fun and somewhat unexpected adventures.
2:09.3	It's coming out in fall 2023 which is just around the corner. I don't know what else I can share
2:16.6	with you at the moment. Oh I started a newsletter. It's going to be not that much content so I think
2:24.3	if anything you will be underwhelmed with the volume of email as opposed to overwhelmed. I promise
2:31.4	not to spam you but I thought that would be a good way so people can sign up and when there is a
