  • Educational and Funny!

    I love listening to these two! The episode on acne was awesome. I just turned 30 not too long ago and have never really struggled with acne until now, and learning about why it’s happening and how I can treat it was really helpful! Natalie and Sadie have great chemistry (haha) and make it fun to listen. Perfect for a morning commute to work!
