    River Flowing Backwards

    River Flowing Backwards

    The inevitability of developing cortisol face and the lawlessness of Zoom support groups. With talk of a rancher’s husband, Kate requires a Buddhism IV drip directly to the arm. With the instinct to avoid everything...a new whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle is embraced. If you’re dying, you’re alive. How to prepare hibiscus tea and acknowledge varying pronunciation. Jacqueline contemplates comedy on canvas and the impact of the Artist’s Posture. Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen is thoroughly reviewed. Having to both boil and cool the potatoes will drive Kate to shatter every glass in the house. When the student is ready, the teacher reappears. Poog is a rumor mill and this is not The Daily. Emergency egg bites and a seat next to a coughing stranger. Kate is confronted with a mysterious object in her hotel room…Jacqueline investigates.
    Brands: Our Place, Hurom Juicer, Rip Esselstyn's PLANTSTRONG

    All About Gut Health (RE-RELEASE)

    All About Gut Health (RE-RELEASE)

    The hags deliver you a morning Poog. Colonics are the primary concern. Jacqueline had one. Kate wants one. Can they get one together? Early surgery and the romance of dying on the table, any table. Being awake while under anesthesia. The importance of Astral Projection. Pre-biotics, pro-biotics, leaky gut and extinction events. Glyphosate and Round Up causing our cells to forget their identity. Lingering in the the hypnogogic phase for creative gains.

    Two Hogs Sewn Together

    Two Hogs Sewn Together

    Beauty and wellness tips from two hogs. Sorry, which hole? Rest assured this is Vaudeville, there was no mirror. You wanna go to Kate’s Cafe? A 'W' so flowery it evokes music. Elizabeth & Sarah & Tracy & Me. The shoes are wet, but these feet don’t sweat. If there’s a Jacqueline link, the hags need to come through. She was pumped! Awe and concern at seeing both anus and V. There’s something kind of desert-pleasing about it. Eight. Plate. Settings. You think I'd have a Seder and not invite you? Wonder Oven Closure and Kate reacts to hearing 'Jack and Diane' for the first time.

    Torn Basil

    Torn Basil

    Jacqueline enters in felted mules, stung. A doctor abused Kate by not taking her call. Extreme sport bandaids, flying hydrocolloidals. Acting is real and ADT is a scam. Major. Depressive. Disorder. A pharmacy run-in a la Magnolia while riding the generic wave, Jacqueline keeps going home med-less. Kate struggled with a VIP wristband and some of the most miserable men she's encountered. 'Darling' as a vessel for aggression. Radical acceptance, a joyless park ranger, and a crane.  Biting into a hot strawberry? Three nights of Acquapazza. Welcome to Cook’s Corner.
    Brands discussed: Electrolytes: LMNT. SUPERIEUR. SIMPLISAFE. LILY's CHOCOLATE. MZ SKIN.
    Big gifts have landed: WONDER OVEN & HUROM JUICER

    I Work Nights

    I Work Nights

    Finally, a pharmacy with a restaurant! What if Kate was a big-jugged nurse on the night shift, and Jacqueline always ordered directly from the Goop Kitchen app? Dr. Loretta on the doorstep, and it really is much easier to bring those boxes through to the back... What’s wrong with having a little fun with yourself? A tooth un-fills and the comfort of this friendship through it all. Jar, but with someone else. A gentle way to start the day may be returning. There will be enough life jackets on the Poog Cruise. The pot is hot—but the stone? It’s 500 degrees. Put her to work, boys! Jacqueline debuts a new voice and explains how to raise a lap cat and hard seer cabbage. Rep yourself before you die!
    Earnestly Begging for: Goop Kitchen vouchers, Pure Lift, Brands Mentioned: Dr. Loretta, Tower, Fenty, Charlotte Tilbury, Biologique Recherche

    This is Not My Friend

    This is Not My Friend

    The dream of a communist pharmacist and the control needed to not throw your phone against a wall. Often we must play the role. Driving while engaging the abs and the pride of seeing your daughter on screen. You wanna change your life? You’ll have to move every day, sweetie. Laughter that only the price of flowers can provoke & a mood so good you hold doors open too long. Whether stepping onto a stage or into an elevator, the nerves never go away. The relevancy of the headshot is questioned and a new torso is offered. This is literally the President of the United States of America. Where in film is the Aged Man? Rotten seed. Half plastic, half lead...the alien screaming within you. Mixing up algorithmic forces and fondly remembering the men who sold ice cream and smoothies. Hi babies! Staying up all night for your mental health. Hello???? Guys!?
    Respectfully Begging For: Whoop, Apparis, AwanBrands Mentioned: Rebel Ice Cream, Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
