In this episode, we discuss the concept of WWAD (What Would Azoreans Do?), our new mantra for mindful living. We explore the Netflix docu-series "Broken," exposing the dark side of consumer products like cosmetics - including the staggering volume of goods, counterfeiting, toxic ingredients, and the role of scarcity marketing. Kel recalls her own experiences in China, where she encountered people selling counterfeit items to tourists. Further exploring the beauty industry, we unveil the historical context behind the removal of body hair in the United States. Ultimately, we find corporate manipulation frustrating and assert our right to embrace our natural selves as our families historically had done in their remote villages.
