Playing Devil's Avocado

This week Claire and Lisa talk about the uncomfortableness of sending food back and discuss whether it's ok to get recommendations from people who don't know much about what they're recommending. They also talk beauty -- with hand sanitiser now a staple, do you use it all the time too? Then there's a chat about The Words of 2020 (Facewine, anyone?) and a whole bunch of woo woo, with Lisa's crystal infused water and Claire's pee-on-a-stick health check. They talk Addicted Australia, the delights of the Jojoba Company and The Block's exxy houses, and ask the question, is there anything better than a gin advent calendar?

They're back! And this week Claire and Lisa talk about Christmas and how they feel about it this year... after the annus horribilis of 2020. They discuss road trips and what you do to make them fun, the benefits of buying a dog bed for women in menopause (yes really!) and why a Thermomix may just be the perfect partner in life. There's also a HUGE Culture Club -- with The Crown, The Queen's Gambit and I May Destroy You on the menu and fear not, Snack Attack is back. Plus, how to flex your happy muscle and are we all feeling a little bit "angrious" right now?

This week Claire and Lisa find out that Anthony Hopkins has a range of candles and they are perplexed and intrigued. They also discuss having medical tests, and how it makes you helpless, why you should never look at your email junk folder, why LinkedIn is just a place to #humblebrag and why Claire has been spending some up close and personal time with her cat. In addition, they chat about Borat, and ponder if his new movie is any less confronting than the last one, there's Snack Attack, a big congratulations to Melbourne for lasting through lockdown and Lisa's found the World's Best Gin AND bought the entire KOH cleaning system. Oh, and there are tears because Twinings have discontinued Claire's favourite tea. Life can indeed be cruel. We're having a break for a couple of weeks so this ep is the final one for a bit.... enjoy!

This week Claire and Lisa tackle "phone thumb" and wonder if they have it... they also talk about Stanley Tucci making cocktails (and making women thirsty) as well as the hilarious Instagram account What Fran Wore, that makes them want to get frocked up in Versace. They discuss stealing too -- and what is ok to steal and what isn't... PLUS why you can't trust men with deep voices, why Aldi's done it again with their Mushroom and Truffle Potato Gratins, why Glasshouse fragrances are so damn good and the beauty affliction Lisa only found out about when she went back to the hairdresser after a year. There's talk about ALONE, the best new survival show on TV, the Hillary Clinton documentary and why women still get such a hard time, and they ask the question, can you think yourself rich?

This week Claire and Lisa discuss Nigella's new book -- and an interview where she tells us to give up thinking of food as guilty pleasures... what a dreamboat.  They also discuss books and the ABC show The Split, which is a guilty pleasure of its own. Then, there's Snack Attack and some delicious dill pickle flavoured snacks they love, Claire says she's afraid of getting her temperature taken, Lisa discusses the "Window of tolerance" and how Covid is making them smaller, and the pair talk about Claire getting told off in the newsagent for looking at a magazine. There's also a chat about washing your bedclothes and why APPS are all the same colour...and they ask the question, do you have a shopping email?

This week Claire and Lisa discuss the fact that big hips and wide thighs mean you may live longer. Hallelujah. They also reveal that they both wanted to buy fully stocked Qantas bar carts so they could be high fliers at home, lament the demise of the office romance thanks to working from home and talk about their love for Ewan McGregor. Then there's Ted Lasso, the comedy taking the world by storm, and for good reason, why stress shopping is a thing (and how Lisa's gone shopping crazy right now), and ask has Michael McIntyre lost his sheen? Also, their pick of the best snacks with chocolate bars they're loving this week and, while they hate to bring poo up again, they want to know, can you go to the bathroom at work?

This week Claire and Lisa talk about party glasses -- you know, special specs you have for going out in. They also talk about Karens being, well, Karens, and whether that's reclaiming the name, whether you can tell a narcissist by their eyebrows and the miracle workers that lemons are in Can You Hack It? They discuss Des, starring the wonderful David Tennant, the controversial movie Cuties and did you know mushrooms can give you a boost of Vitamin D if you leave them in the sun? No, us neither. There's also Snack Attack and an attack on snacks, a couple of whinge-worthy What Hurts Nows and they ask the question, is it ok to go on a weekend away with friends from work?

For Culture Club, they talk Bill and Ted Face the Music, The Duchess and Pasta Grannies, plus there's a big discussion of Reese's new show Getting Organised with The Home Edit -- would you sort your books by colour (and did you know that How Not to Live Your Best Life is the same colour as the new Margaret Atwood book?).  PLUS, they sing the praises of the "fake commute", talk about the pain of doing yoga as an old person and ask, how do we feel about gender reveals?
