Hello, all! We’re taking some time off during the holidays to be with our lovelies, so we picked our top six favorite XOXOJK episodes with juicy updates added for you. ENJOY and HAPPY HOLIDAYS from everyone at XOXOJK!

Are female friendships the new power couple? We hash out the good (real talk) and bad (social media jealously) sides of showing off your friendships. There are many different kinds of friendships and they are all to be celebrated: acquaintanceships, BFFs, sex talk friends, that one high school friend that you still talk to, shopping friends. And here’s the thing, they’re all great. Celebrate them however you want, sensible red lip or not. My squad doesn’t look like yours — and that’s okay. Two good friends or ten are both okay! Just don’t forget to buy them an eight way BFF pizza necklace.
