Wine A Little, Laugh A Lot

On today's episode we chat about our new approach to life in leaning away from hustle-culture and into living easy. We discuss what's brought us to this newfound take on life, how we want to embrace it from now on, and how burn-out has had an effect on our lives. To close-out the episode, we share a man of the hour - which, of course, does not help in our quest to a soft girl summer. 

After watching the HBOMax docuseries “Not So Pretty” we were inspired to deep dive into all things clean. We bring back one of our favorite guests to discuss our journeys to transition to cleaner lifestyles. From skin care to cleaning products, we share the ugly truth on what we learned and the steps we are taking in our everyday lives to live cleaner lives. There are some things we can’t quit - in Shannon’s case: bleach - but we share our tips, tricks and favorite products.

On this episode we deep dive into all things cannabis related with a special guest, Sydney Wills. We discuss the stigmas and negative social implications often associated with the drug, along with the health benefits and positive effects it can have on the body & mind. We chat about own own perceptions of cannabis usage, the ambiguous legality around it, and Sydney shares some of her favorite cannabis products. 

Is it us or are the dating apps even worse these days? On today's episode we chat about our recent reemergence back on to the dating app scene. TBH the outlook seems bleak, but we're still trying to give it our all. We discuss our approaches to the apps, our trials & tribulations, and our opinions on meeting someone "in the wild" vs. online. And of course, the episode wouldn't be complete without a man of the hour! 

SPOILER ALERT! On today's episode we give you a full episode of us recapping some popular shows that are streaming right now. We deep dive into Euphoria (8:50), Inventing Anna (35:12) - and of course, Love is Blind Season 2 (52:52). These shows are all completely different, but captivated us all the same. We discuss the characters, the plot lines and our thoughts on how the shows wrapped up. This breakdown contains spoilers of each series latest episode, so if you aren't fully caught up - proceed with caution!

"Being alone forms a part of our life that doesn’t make it through our highlights. We don’t see it being shown off on our Instagram posts or Twitter threads. It is not seen as a feature to be proud of, but neither as a mental illness that must be treated. It’s seen as a fact that just is."

On today's episode we bring you our latest segment in our "How Did You Know?" series. We chat about the difference between being alone vs. being lonely and how we both have come to appreciate our alone time. We talk about our living situations through the years - going from living with roommates to doing the damn thing all by ourselves. We play a pro and con game on living alone (spoiler alert: there are not many cons!). We close out the episode with our latest Man of the Hour, who really makes us want to live alone forever!

Black History Month is a month to celebrate the accomplishments and the history of Black people - without forgetting the unjust treatment of Black people throughout history, as well as systemic injustices that continue to persist today. In today's episode we discuss Black History Month - what it means to us, how our understanding has evolved as we have gotten older, and how we commemorate each year. Not only do we share our perspectives, but we were lucky enough to have some of our closest family and friends weigh in too! As Angela Davis said, "we have to talk about liberating minds, as well as liberating society", so join us in this conversation. 

Special thanks to Sydney Wills, Sonja Wills, & Sagan Puleo for sharing their thoughts with us throughout this episode! 

We're back and better than ever for season two! Upon our return from "winter break", we recap how we spent our holidays and the past couple of months - spoiler alert: it involves a lot of tv. We deep dive into the Sex and the City reboot 'And Just Like That' and how, in our opinion, the show hasn't aged well. It wouldn't be an episode without spotlighting a new man of the hour. Grab your glass and join us as we begin season two!
