In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail learn about the beauty industry, networking, and valuing yourself from Blushington CEO Natasha Cornstein. Natasha shares her journey from doing “nitty gritty” work at her husband’s start-up, to becoming the CEO of a beauty-tech company after one life-changing lunch. Natasha tells Kim and Grandma Gail about how she evolved Blushington during the Pandemic and continues to innovate the brand. 

In The Grandma Report, the three women discuss the Forbes article about professional and romantic relationships. Natasha shares her personal experience with working with her husband. She says “work/life balance” isn’t a helpful term because you can’t prioritize everything –from work, family, friends– on the same day. 

They then listen to Grandma Gail’s Voicemail, where a listener gets tough love about being in it for the long haul with a med student. Want Gail’s honest opinion on your dating dilemma or family drama? Email [email protected] or DM us on Instagram with your voicemails! 

Kim, Grandma Gail, and Natasha then answer your questions about non-basic first date questions, what to do about a daughter’s boyfriend you don’t like, and nail care! To finish the episode, they play Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Dating Quiz. Grandma, who was at Natasha’s wedding, already knows the results. Natasha also shares inspiring advice from her own grandmother, including keep learning and enjoy life– with champagne! Grandma Gail then imparts her words of wisdom, telling Natasha, Kim, and listeners to have a voice and opinion on everything.
