  • Raw Thoughts on Instagram & Vacationing Without the Kids

    Jul. 19th, 2021 –  This week, the ladies kickoff the show breaking down Instagram. You may have noticed they haven’t been as present there this summer and wanted to clear the air with their perspective & intention with social media. They share some raw feels on the gram and how they want to feel true to the podcast and their time as busy moms. They then dive into a talk about prioritizing vacation without the kids. If that’s with your spouse, couples or a girls trip – it can be so beneficial to your mental health and efficiency at home. Though it does take a little planning ahead at times (for time off or because of the budget), you will be so glad you did! Both ladies share how they make it happen each year and how they are always surprised by how many women don’t travel sans kids. They share their favorite getaways to-date and give the listener lots of ideas to consider. For the week’s hits and misses, Sarah shares a funny foot-in-mouth moment on the school text thread and Lauren’s hit that involves an update on Gus (the dog!).

Suggesting some ideas, discussing pitfalls and what to look out for for each personality type.

Kendra Harris is owner of the Arizona-based Wildflower Beauty Bars and is sharing some of the insights that only the professionals know.

    The girls have been dying to talk skin from day one, so they dive right into the episode with a discussion on “maskne”, Sarah had never heard the term and Lauren shares how she struggles to keep her chin clear during the mask mandates.  Kendra then goes on to share her thoughts on top products (both lower end and high end) and how to manage different types of skin.

    The girls pick her brain about adult acne, if BOTOX is worth it and the biggest skincare no-no’s!  There’s lots of laughter along the way especially when Kendra delivers a blow to Sarah, sharing some less-appealing facts about one of her favorite brands!  Kendra is an open-book and really knows her stuff!  

    Wrapping up the show, the girls say goodbye to Kendra and close up with their hits and misses of the week.  Lauren is excited the gym’s kids club is open while Sarah shares a scary miss that happened with her daughter and the school bus.
