If you grew up in an Asian household, you may be familiar with certain rituals or practices that were taken very seriously by your parents, sometimes without much explanation. Beliefs such as, “drinking hot or room temperature water is better for you,” or “wearing slippers will keep your feet warm,” were ingrained in us growing up, but today, we are researching whether or not these beliefs are actually rooted in truth. Will your babies’ hair really grow back thicker if you shave their hair? Why shouldn’t you sleep with a mirror facing your bed? We tackle the questions you’ve always wanted to ask on this episode.

What myths or beliefs did you grow up with? Do you know if it’s true or not? Leave us a comment to let us know!

AsianBossGirl is turning 5 years old! To celebrate, we are hosting a Happy Hour event in Los Angeles on September 16th. RSVP at our Eventbrite link here! Cocktails, mocktails, and light bites will be provided. Spots are limited, so sign up soon!
