You’re only as strong as the hairspray you use. Live colorfully or dye trying. The higher the hair, the closer to God. You guessed it, kids. This week Kate and Jenn talk about hair. Not the American tribal love-rock musical, but like, the stuff that grows on your head (and body). Best and worst haircuts, […]

And, don’t worry, there’s plenty of vocal fry and […]

In Episode 17, Kate and Jenn dissect food stuffs. What we eat, how we eat, and how it makes us feel (and poop!). The relationship we have we food is one of the most basic, and, yet one of the most complicated – and is often based on…marketing? Thankfully, food culture is changing and we’re […]
