  • Spilling Family Tea

    Today's conversation is with a longtime client who had some family drama related to a wedding. We all know how stressful they can be at times. Personally, I love weddings, but they are definitely a lot of work. Traditionally, there are a lot of people to please when planning a wedding, but thankfully society's moving toward weddings being focused on the wants of the couple getting married. There is some cussing, but nothing else "explicit". We hope you enjoy!

  • Flashback 2022: Lots of Love

    Today's episode is about an engagement, wedding planning, and Love is Blind 3. There is one section of the conversation where we're talking about sugaring. Every body is different, and so is everyone's experience. Sugaring is more gentle than other hair removal methods, but it's taking the hair out of the body by the root, so it can sometimes really suck. Our philosophy is: try it once. If it's too intense for you, it's totally okay! We don't judge.
