On Episode 40 of this week’s @klupodcast, I’ve talked about my skincare routine on social media but I decided it was time to devote a mini-episode to skincare, one of my passions! I run through my exact day/night routine and share the three things that have transformed my skin - skin cycling, BHA’s & repairing my skin barrier. I break everything down so if you’re a skincare newbie, I got you. Let me know if you have any questions at all and like I said in the episode, do your own research based on your skin’s needs! All the products I used are on my stories and LTK/Amazon storefront (link for both in my bio!)

 This week at @klupodcast, I took a poll recently and y’all wanted me to talk about making and maintaining friendships. I go into the phases we all go through during different times  and types of friends we all have at some point in our lives and their purpose. I also like to emphasize how you should not put pressure on your friends to be the answer to all of your needs. It’s the joy of friendship and appreciating the core group that we have in different points of our lives!  Let me know what resonates with you! Keep looking up (on it!)! —This will also make sense once you listen to this week’s podcast!

It’s a new month which means it’s a new book for KLU Book Club! The Four Agreements is basically required reading in my family, it was my dad’s all time favorite book that he would quote constantly and really implemented the teachings into his every day life. If you didn’t read the book, don’t worry because I recap the Four Agreements and discuss the biggest takeaways from it so there is still an opportunity to learn! Since I talk a lot about self help and growth on the podcast, I’ve been drawn to my spiritual favorites but sometimes they can feel woo woo and overwhelming if you’re just beginning your growth journey. So for next month’s book, we will be doing “Hello, Molly!” by Molly Shannon which is a memoir but feels like a self help book because Molly is leading by example and teaching you things inadvertently by sharing her life experience in a light, refreshing but poignant way. I highly highly recommend listening to Molly read the book instead of reading it, if you can, because hearing her inflection and timing truly makes the whole experience so much better. If you have any books you’d like to be included in Book Club, please let me know!! Keep Looking Up!

After my incredible weekend in Vegas seeing @kellyclarkson’s new limited residency, I just had to give a recap of the highlights, talk about how we all should have a “North Star” to look to emulate and go ahead and play my interview with Kelly again in case you missed it the first time! I hope all you Miss Independents enjoy!

I am going to be incredibly transparent today. Today is a day that I dread every single year as it is a reminder of the worst day of my life. The day I lost my best friend, my confidant, my biggest supporter and role model. My dad. Being able to have the Kidd Kraddick Legacy Month on @klupodcast has been incredibly emotional yet cathartic. These conversations have given me something to look forward to instead of that feeling of impending doom that I usually feel so I’m incredibly grateful to be sharing these with you all. My dad was known for his humor, creativity and kindness but as we’ve discussed in previous episodes, Kidd had a talent for finding and cultivating young talent. So it was no surprise that what started out as a radio bit that resembled “Making The Band” turned into an actual real boy band that opened for major artists like Janet Jackson and Destiny’s Child. Dr. J Mack Slaughter was the youngest member of that band and someone I have known since I was a little girl completely enamored with all the boys in the band that my dad created. J Mack’s journey with Sons of Harmony led him to LA where he was incredibly successful, landing numerous television shows and a movie with Kenan Thompson. Even though he was at the top of his game, J Mack felt incredibly unfulfilled so after some soul searching, he left his life in LA to move back to Texas. To pursue a career in emergency medicine. Betcha didn’t see that one coming! J credits my dad for his career in medicine and we had the most beautiful conversation about my dad’s impact on him. To make things even more full circle, my dad’s death brought us both back to music, playing together for numerous gigs benefiting Kidd’s Kids or just for fun with my old band CC & the Dad Bods. 😂 Speaking of Kidd’s Kids, J Mack is now one of the physicians that attends our trip in November every year. Although J Mack is an accomplished doctor with a huge social media following, with his own nonprofit organization and a family of his own with three incredible children, I will always remember him as the incredibly generous and earnest sixteen year old. Backstage at Jingle Ball at Six Flags, sitting down with a ten year old, four eyed little girl at craft services. J Mack and I are connected in so many ways at this point, my dad made sure that he would always be in my life in some capacity. Another example of how my dad is still protecting me and for that I’m extremely grateful. I hope you all enjoy.
