Do we ACTUALLY hate each other? It kinda seems like it, right? Or is that just how you perceive us on social media? 🤔 

Welcome back, Half Past Crew, to yet ANOTHER episode of Half Past Chai. This week we’re diving into how our personalities come across on social media platforms. Do you really know us? Or do you just know what you see on social media? We also hate (and show love) on other influencer couples and if we think they’re faking who they are. Stick to the end for some personal updates from us. Settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. We love you ❤️

I’m Suketu’s mommy. Yep, you read that right. I do EVERYTHING for Suketu. But… is that all his fault? Or am I enabling him to act this way? Happy Monday, Half Past Crew. This week is all about being a mother figure to your significant other. Are you constantly picking up after your partner? Do they ask you for clothing advice? Do you have to remind them to do things and lecture them until they get done?! I’m right there with you, and that’s what we’re covering this week plus the deeper meaning of why this is happening, and how to split responsibilities in your relationship evenly. Stay tuned for 2 SPECIAL announcements at the end, and a special cameo from someone you all know and love. Settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai.

Doesn’t it drive you NUTS when you ask someone how they are, and they don’t ask about you? WE’RE MAD GUYS. SO mad, with life, with each other, with everything. We’re peeved off! Happy Monday, Half Past Crew. Yep, we’re mad… and you wanna know why? SO MANY REASONS. Bad drivers make us mad, people who don’t try to do the right thing make us mad, Suketu’s chomping with his mouth open makes Hallie (and everybody) mad, leaving dishes in the sink makes Suketu mad, VICTIM mentalities make us mad… we can go on and on and on. In this episode, we talk about what makes us mad for other people and how ANNOYING they can be, and what we do in our relationship that makes each other mad. Settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai while we SPILL THE CHAI.
