    Today it's just us, and we're interviewing each other about the nitty gritty of our morning routines. From breakfast to beauty products, we're breaking down our morning rituals.

    This episode was inspired by a series on A Few Things with Claire And Erica. It's one of our favorite podcasts, you should check it out!

  • Ep 57: Makeup Lessons with Cassandra Garcia.

    Today we interviewed Cassandra Garcia... makeup artist to THE STARS... and us! Cassandra did our makeup for the NYC live show but she's also the in-house makeup artist for Bobbi Brown AND she does makeup for the cast of SNL. (+ other celebs!!) We gathered ALL your makeup questions for her and put her to the test. You may want to grab a notebook for this one as it gets pretty technical - in the best possible way. We're talking about making your makeup last, under eye concealer that won't settle into fine lines, and more. Do you really need a primer? What about a setting spray? Cassandra also shares her favorite luxury products + cheapie drugstore finds.

    PS - the long wear cream eyeshadow we keep talking about is SHORE by Bobbi Brown. Not "Sure" or "The Shore!"

    Be sure to follow Cassandra at @cygmakeup!

  • Ep. 56: Normal People Book Club + What Makes a Book YA!?

    In this episode, we are talking about Normal People by Sally Rooney! We loved this book. In fact, we both agree that it's one of the best books we've read this year. BUT we couldn't decide… is it a "Young Adult" book? Let us know what you think! In light of this book, we talk about our own secret romances (or lack thereof!), power dynamics in relationships, and how your confidence can shift (for better or worse) over time.

    Also, Becca had the worst travel day of her life, Grace is loving @sanctuarywrld on Instagram, and Becca and Grace are both obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow Primer!

  • Ep. 54: Your 20s v 30s: work, relationships, and what we've learned

    It's just us this episode!! We're doing a little bit of self-reflection today, talking about the differences between being in your twenties versus your thirties. Hopefully, for those of you in your twenties, we can offer a little advice. And for those of you in your thirties with us, we know you'll relate! From the difference in how we date now, to what we thought our lives would look like in our thirties, this episode was fun to reflect on.

    Also in this episode, Becca is obsessed with organizing her new apartment, and Grace is obsessed with her new Veronica Beard jacket!
