It's A Twin Thing

The Los Angeles Metro is confusing and Aspen and Ashley are lost puppies on today's episode of It's A Twin Thing! We recount our latest adventure trying to take public transportation to Rodeo Drive, and reveal what was the only store we actually went into once we got there. Ashley then tests Aspen on her knowledge of expensive clothing prices, and Aspen ponders why she's more outgoing when Ashley is with her.

We also get into a heated discussion about crackers, debate the meaning of calling someone a "mess," and agree that Aspen is usually wrong about most things. Ashley updates us on what it was like giving up social media for a week, we weigh the ideas of moderation versus quitting cold turkey, and we both get challenges for next week that we don't think we can do.
