    Sara and Kirbie- please never stop doing the damn thing. I 1000% agree that beauty and current events / politics are related. Also, it's YOUR SHOW BE WHO YOU ARE! You two helped me make it through the pandemic- you have been advocates for women and evidence based skin care and beauty information from day dot. I trust you and your content! Most of all, your conversations and work-wife hood uplift and inspire me. XO A stan for life, -Jennifer

  • Kirbie drives me nuts

    I love Sara so much, but Kirbie comes across so celebrity-obsessed. Such a bootlicker and so high and mighty. Really making me question whether or not I listen to this podcast anymore
