In this very special episode, I am joined by the wonderful Jessica DeFino (@jessicadefino_). She is a freelance beauty journalist for The New York Times, Vogue, WWD, Allure, and more. However, I found DeFino's work from her amazing substack The Unpublishable which I highly recommend.

This episode is a great introduction what DeFino primarily writes about. We speak on 'anti-aging' (spoiler: not possible), dating while unlearning mainstream beauty standards, where beauty standards originate from and what DeFino’s time was like working for the #kardashianjenners
