    Ladies, thank you so much for your work, I had my son in January in Northern Canada and while I was making endless walks while he was sleeping, I kept listening to all your episodes and you truly saved this tired mama from going crazy. Lots of love 💗💗💗💗💗

    Celebrating the “comeback” of Peter Thomas Roth - “PTR” as they referred to him as - was shocking to hear. Celebrating an associate of Jeffrey Epstein is sickening.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7 Eye-Opening Skin Facts (and Myths) Only a Cell Biologist Can Tell You
Q: How much of skin aging is within our control and how much is genetic?
Only about 10-25% is determined by genetics; 75-90% is influenced by daily habits and long-term care, meaning listeners have substantial room to impact aging through consistent routines and evidence-backed products.
Meet the "Foot Whisperer" Who Will Make You Rethink Regular Pedicures for Good
Q: When should someone consider seeing a podiatrist rather than a MediPedi professional?
If nails look abnormal, have thickening, deformities, signs of infection, or persistent issues that don't improve with standard care, it's prudent to consult a licensed medical professional such as a podiatrist or dermatologist.
Meet the "Foot Whisperer" Who Will Make You Rethink Regular Pedicures for Good
Q: What is a medical pedicure and how does it differ from a traditional spa pedicure?
A medical pedicure is a waterless, hygienic service that emphasizes health and disease prevention, often with collaboration to medical professionals; it avoids bullies and infections common in standard salons and focuses on nails and skin health rather than aesthetics alone.
7+ Ways to Elevate Your Everyday: “Scentscaping,” a Gwyneth-Approved Lip Balm and the Fragrance Trend to Skip with Curator-to-Know Cynthia Sakai
Q: Tell us one trend in beauty that is unconsidered or unnecessary.
The guest dismisses overly layered fragrance trends, arguing that layering dilutes the intention and artistry of the perfumer, preferring finished, sophisticated fragrances with clear design and balance.

Q: What do you do for your skin care routine now versus in your 30s?
I keep it simple: cleanse, mist, moisturize, then add a serum like Turmeric Glow Drops in the morning and Retinol Alternative Serum at night, with some light tech devices for support.
