Beauty Uncovered

Recently, I was the guest on the wildly podcast called Art Beauty, and the host, Amber Milt, is also the senior director of video for New Beauty Magazine. Now, she is exposed to all the innovative, newest trends out there in beauty. So I thought, you know what? I want to talk about anti-aging beauty secrets. The stuff they do in the offices, the noninvasive procedures. She gets exposed to all these gadgets and gizmos, and I want to know about them. Do they actually work?

She’s tried it all, and she’s had great successes and some epic failures. And she’s going to tell us all about it.

My friend Jennifer King joins me for a conversation about menopause, female hormones and the joys of aging as well as we can. Taboo associations aside, it’s something we need to talk about!

On Thursdays, I will be doing a bonus episode where my friends and I will discuss some of our own personal discoveries and opinions on beauty, health and wellness.

And I also want to hear from you. Share some of your aha moments on beauty, health and wellness, and have a discussion. If you're on Apple podcasts, write your aha moment in the comment section. Or you can email me at [email protected]. And maybe you could be chosen to be a guest on our Thursday discussion panel.

We are kicking off Mental Health Month with a great conversation with Bea Arthur, a clinical therapist and founder of The Difference, the first on-demand therapy service for corporations and communities. Honestly, wonderful should be Bea’s middle name. We speak about how mental health is something that really should be normalized. Getting help, going to a therapist. We also talk about trends on social media because people are speaking very clearly about PTSD, trauma, and weaponized incompetence. Bea gives us some clarity to all these fun terms.

So let’s watch and listen as Bea makes the difference.

Recently, I was invited onto a podcast called Ageless, which is hosted by fashion designer Cynthia Raleigh, and her daughter, Kit Keenan.

Now, I have to say, I was charmed by the rapport between them. It was quite lovely. And I got caught up in their down to earth dynamic, which admittedly, was not what I expected.

You see, Cynthia Raleigh has been a staple in the fashion world for decades. And Kit has been in the public eye since she was a kid growing up in the gleaming lights of New York City. So if we were to go by the articles and the gossip columns, it almost appears one dimensional. But there is nothing one dimensional about this mother and daughter duo whose love for one another and drive to grow is awe inspiring. 

I don't know about you, but I have been a lifelong fan of Star Wars. So I always love the Fourth of May. And I may or may not have been at a few Comic Cons in my lifetime. And if you know anything about the cosplay community, they are some of the most dynamic and fun people you'll ever meet. But even more so are the 501st Legion. And if you don't know who they are, you really should look them up. The incredible charitable work that they do is one of the reasons that my next guest, who is a lifelong friend of mine, Justin Weiss, chose to join his local fiber first, which is the Empire City Garrison where he dresses up like a stormtrooper. In fact, you might hear a little bit of a muffled audio in the beginning because he is in full costume as a stormtrooper which kind of shows that yes, it's charitable work, but it might be a little bit beyond that too. 

Today's episode is in honor of Mother's Day! I couldn't think of anyone better to discuss motherhood than my very own mom. Tune in to hear the wisdom she's learned over the years through her experience raising 11 kids.

Today we're going to talk a little bit about skincare. I happen to have a friend and his name is Reuben Carranza. He is the CEO of Kate Somerville. That happens to be one of my favorite skincare lines! He’s going to give us the scoop of what we should be looking at when a skincare line says they have the right ingredients or their product is clinically proven. What does it really mean? Also what's appropriate for all of us for skincare because we're all still learning.

We’re also going to dive into another passion of theirs, which is giving back to the community. We’ll talk about their affiliation with Foster Nation and Beauty Changes Lives, and how they aim to make a huge difference in the lives of kids that are aging out of the foster care system and have no place to go.

My friend today, Rhonda Moffit, is a gardener extraordinaire! Not everyone has a green thumb, but that’s okay. She shares with us her tips and tricks for gardening newbies, even for urban settings.
