Sheila’s got a fruit fly problem. Amrutha can relate. Why do we have to apologize for having long, thick hair that falls all over the place? We are trying to manage it, we swear! A weekend in Galveston. A weekend at San Ysidro Ranch. Is the most restorative vacation the one within driving distance? Does your partner HAVE to watch your Instagram Stories or can they mute you since they’re front and center at the live show? We meant to talk about the furor around Rachel Cusk’s latest book but went down a Meta ruling rabbit hole instead. Is it bad to wash your hair once every two weeks?

Gen Zs are getting tattoos with their parents’ blessing — can you IMAGINE? The things we would’ve done with that kind of freedom. We had to fight for our lives for thong underwear from Victoria’s Secret … and for WHAT? Awfully uncomfortable, those V-Strings. Amrutha’s a professor now! Can we go back to college? We promise we’ll show up to class. Sheila tells all about her experience with IVF. We’re so glad this conversation is resonating with you, and if you’ve got thoughts, we’d love to hear them.

ABOUT US: Welcome, friends new and old! Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. Our origin story. Our walk out songs, what we dance to when no one’s watching, and what made us move and groove in our youth. Wild nights in Washington, DC. Olestra and a tale of its consumption that went very, very wrong. A janky NYC sublet where the power went out on a 100 degree day in July. Speaking of New York: is it the perfect city for a geriatric millennial? What we do for a living. What we’ve got coming up. Why we created this pod. Hey, did we mention? We’re so very grateful you are here <3

We’re not ready for masseter Botox — did you hear what happened to Hannah Berner? The horror! — but Sheila’s digging medicube and might need Amrutha to try it too. Sheila tells all about the opulent Greek wedding she went to in Ios. Is the first night of a wedding weekend always the best? American vs. European glamour. Cruising has its benefits … and some drawbacks. Still processing. Sheila’s latest dye job is going to last about a week and it’s all her fault.

Sheila’s in Greece and letting jet lag take the wheel — for a moment! A nap on a daybed at Calilo just feels right. Amrutha gave a hammam another try and she’s so glad she did. We debate the merits of morning Starbucks vs. brewing your own coffee and wonder why anyone would blow up their relationship on Ultimatum. Would we ever do reality TV? Amrutha’s got a show in mind …

We’re back! Amrutha went to Turkey and came back smitten. The caves. The beaches. The hot air balloons!

Sheila thought she knew Cabo but then she went to Las Ventanas al Paraíso and … 🤯 From the villa to the food to the wine to the SPEAKEASY, it’s another level.

Why don’t Hindu vegetarians like mushrooms? We have some theories. (We’d love to hear yours.) The “hack” of people washing their underwear and socks in hotel room kettles and Keurig machines has us utterly horrified. We’re gonna need a glass of natural wine to calm down.

Amrutha’s in San Diego for a conference and enjoying the serenity of NOT staying at the conference hotel. More time for diversions, such as a jaunt to La Jolla where Sheila caught this sunset a couple weeks ago:

Private planes vs. Frontier Airlines. Is it just us, or does travel feel like The Hunger Games? The amount of information we’ve uploaded to the cloud is staggering … and what if it all came out? Maybe we should just accept that everyone’s got unflattering pics in their past and leave it at that. Or go fully analog. Or Build a Second Brain.

We debate the ordeal of going out for lunch vs. crushing a sad desk salad. Dishwasher unloading habits, and what they say about us. Sheila went to the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and found that its bar is nothing like what its cozy cottages would lead you to believe.

Amrutha’s getting her first curly girl haircut. We unpack the two glasses of wine that “ruined” Steven Bartlett and wonder whether the imperative to optimize has gone too far. Can’t a gal just enjoy a night out without morning after atoning?

Sweating after the post-workout shower. Dips in a bracingly cold sea. Beaches you can drive onto, with your dogs!

Walking book clubs. Why is there never enough space on airplanes? When the TV version is better than the book. Is sleep the ultimate luxury product? We’re trying to unlock our way to the next level of restfulness, and here’s what we’re using:

Moonjuice Magnesi-Om

Hatch alarm clock

Bearaby weighted blanket

Sheila traveled 24 hours to reach Mali Lošinj, the Croatian “island of vitality” that more than lives up to its moniker. She’s teaching at the Adriatic Writers Conference and hopes her class is up to snuff.

Amrutha went to an adult slumber party with a blessedly simple dress code. We’ve got many, many thoughts about The Crash, the polarizing Netflix documentary. How much of what’s on your phone can be used against you? Should we clean up our camera roll?
