What's Forever35 about?

Forever35 is a podcast about taking care of yourself. Each week, writers and wellness addicts Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir, along with a special guest, talk about the important things in life: which night creams will make you look well-rested, how long they really lasted on Whole30, if emptying your closet actually can bring you joy, and if the Hanacure mask is really just a scam intended to get you to post an unflattering photo of your face mid-mask on Instagram.
