  • Great podcast very honest and funny

    Has been a joy to listen to listen to over the years, I feel like the format is constantly changing though with the episode themes and chats. I really like the beauty news piece but not sure on the faves each week…

    I hope this pod gets dome great partnerships this year and a live event too maybe!

  • Good news / bad news

    Hi Nicola , love your podcast

    Have you tried the Kayali perfumes?

    She’s the sister of the founder of Huda Beauty .

    The fragrances will surprise you , they’re gorgeous….

    The bad news is that yesterday I learned fragrances (even the expensive ones) are neurotoxins and have a bad effect on brain cells and hormones 😢😢😢😢

    I’m a fragrance lover like yourself but I’m taking it easy now…

    💕🥂
