Aging skin – it’s inevitable. But we’re talking about the practices and products that can help. We also chat about the confrontational charm of the enneagram type 8, including an interview with blogger (and mom of 9) Heidi Weimer.

In this episode, we talk about:

* Kristen brought Sarah over to the robe dark side. Kristen loves Barefoot Dreams but Sarah says the Parachute Robe is superior.

* Facial Massage increases circulation in the skin, drains lymph nodes, boosts collagen, relieves tension, and allows face products to absorb. Here’s a great video on it. And this Jade roller for the face is effective too.

* Wanna try a cleansing oil? We recommend Health Priority Vitamin E Oil or DHC Deep Cleansing Oil.

* Sunscreen – we know we should! Two good, natural sunscreens for daily use are Drunk Elephant and Suntegrity.

* Sarah’s favorite natural retinol product is Pai Rosehip BioRegenerate Fruit & Seed Oil Blend

* For exfoliation, try Acure Brilliantly Brightening Facial Scrub (budget) or Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser (spendy)

* Dry brushing is a great way to exfoliate and increase circulation.

* Our favorite serums are Drunk Elephant Night Serum (spendy) and Super 6 Serum (budget).

* Last time we talked about face shaving to reduce wrinkles, we sold a whole lot of tinkle razors

* Pro-tip: when you apply your eye cream, dab some around your lips. We like Tata Harper Boosted Contouring Eye Mask (spendy) or Acure Eye Cream (budget).

We’re talking favorite snacks, both salty and sweet, healthy and splurge-worthy. We also talk with Carlee Lane about being an enneagram type 6.

In this episode we mention the following snacks:

Trader Joe’s Omega Trek Mix

La Croix Grapefruit or Cherry Lime flavor

Whole Foods hot salsa with Garden of Eatin’ Sesame Blues

Sugar snap peas or edamame with Maldon Sea Salt

Fair-trade chocolate chips

Trader Joe’s Everything Blend

Spike Seasoning

Apples and brie or apples and Justin’s maple almond butter

Plain yogurt with stevia and berries and a little granola

We are sharing the apps that help us function, sleep, maintain relationships, and edit photos. We also chat with Ryan Walton, blogger at DaringtoDad.com, about being an enneagram type 7.

On this episode we mentioned the following apps that can be found in the iphone app store:

* We both credit Voxer for keeping many of our friendships alive, and count it as the app we use the most on any given day.

* Sarah is a fan for Group Me to stay in touch with special-interest kid’s activities like sports teams or dance groups.

* Kristen loves Google Keep as a way to keep her to-do list and notes updated between her phoner and computer, and uses it as the page her web browser opens to.

* Sarah loves VSCO for editing photos, and the Amazon Alexa App for keeping her shopping lists up-to-date.

* We love the Podcast App! Find us on there and subscribe!

* We both love Spotify for all things music, and have our kids on a Spotify family account.

* Sarah uses Think Dirty to determine the toxicity of beauty products she’s looking at.

* We both use apps for white noise at night. Sarah is a fan of Sleepy Fan while Kristen uses RelaxMelodies.

Kristen uses Flo to keep track of her periods and TripIt to keep track of travel reservations.
