I’m Glowing Out!

TLDR: two new skincare launches backed by some serious science, trends you'll actually care about, and Kee's obsession with yet another toner mist (sorry, not sorry).

From therapeutic laziness to functional fragrance, the 2025 beauty trends are in and we have some big feelings. This month, Lucy and Kee review the (dry) face oil that's all over your social media.

TLDR: Kee said too much (she didn't), being a bridesmaid on a budget and a circuit breaker.

Are we actually spending nearly $2000 to be a bridesmaid? How can you show up without going into debt? And how can we reduce the tax that single people pay when it comes to celebrations? This week, Lucy's shares the cost of being Kee's bridesmaid.

TLDR: Lucy's the awkward neighbour, an MIA invite, and ice ice (for your face) baby.

Why does it hurt so bad to see your friends together...without you? Is FOMO just part of modern friendship? And can you be okay with being the 'alternate friend'? This week, Kee and Lucy dissect a wig out about being left out.

TLDR: Kee had a fight with Lucy, the great unfollowing of 2024, and a peanut M&M’s dupe.

My partner’s bestie unfollowed me, what do I do when I see him next? In 2024, when should we mute and when should we unfollow? And should you ever come between your partner and their friend? This week, Kee is all wisdom and Lucy is all wig as they dissect a social media faux pas.

How young is too young to find ‘The One’...wait, does ‘The One’ even exist? Does every relationship go through a three-year rough patch? And should I stay or should I go? This week, Kee and Lucy go through the pros and cons of young love.

TLDR: A birth certificate conundrum, this is why we can’t have nice holidays, and swimmers for EVERY body.

Can you come back from being put on blast by your bestie? Do we really mean the things we say in the heat of the moment? And why do group holidays bring out the worst in us? This week, Kee and Lucy try to save a friendship that’s been poisoned.

TLDR: There are three in the bed, to snoop or not to snoop, and dressing up for bed.

Is it ever okay to read someone's journal? Why are we obsessed with knowing what other people think about us? And are we all entitled to private conversations? This week, Kee and Lucy discuss the ethics of snooping and help Anon kick and sneaky habit to the curb.

How do you balance being positive while grieving the body you once had? How can you move forward when an invisible illness leaves you feeling stuck? And how common is chronic illness, really? This week, Kee and Lucy support Anon through a mental and physical rough patch.

1 in 3 Australians have thought about cheating on their partner, so how many of them actually do it? Why is an office romance so sexy? And should you tell your partner that you cheated? This week, Kee and Lucy navigate a Wigatoni's tornado about a husband, a baby, a mortgage, an ex and a colleague.
