In this week's episode Ash & Jess discuss the frustrations with aging in a culture obsessed with youth. Both women being in their 40s they find that it's a topic that is super relevant as they try to stay holistic and health-focused in a sea of injections. Have you noticed an increase in wrinkle free faces, fillers, big lips, exaggerated curves and a desperate fight to not show any signs of aging? Well you aren't alone! While it might be the new normal, Ash and Jess discuss finding a balance and focusing on your inner landscape more than your outward appearance. While procedures might not be totally off the table for these two they discuss where they prioritize to stay youthful from the inside out.
