    Listen Now: The Pink House with Sam Smith

    Listen Now: The Pink House with Sam Smith

    We’re excited to drop in your feed today to tell you about a new Lemonada Media series called The Pink House with Sam Smith. Hosted by five-time Grammy winner Sam Smith, The Pink House is about the people and places that make us who we are. One of those places was Sam’s childhood home in the English village of Great Chishill, literally called The Pink House. It was a space of total warmth and love where Sam felt safe enough to find their voice. Each week, join Sam in conversation with icons and friends like Trixie Mattel, Gloria Estefan, Elliot Page, Joel Kim Booster, Ben Platt, Rebecca Sugar and Michelle Visage as they explore their own “Pink Houses” and how they navigated early struggles and ultimately found their place in the world. 

    You’re about to hear the first episode of The Pink House, where Sam chats with Elliot Page about his upbringing in Canada, his breakout role in the film Juno, and how seeking time away from it all has helped him embrace a whole new, exhilarating life.

    The Art of Small Talk (with Casey Rose Wilson and Jessica St. Clair)

    The Art of Small Talk (with Casey Rose Wilson and Jessica St. Clair)

    Casey Rose Wilson and Jessica St. Clair return to discuss an ever-present and often menacing part of our lives: small talk. They share some of the wisdom and insight from their new audio book, “The Art of Small Talk,” and try to convince SuChin to find the joy and playfulness in these everyday interactions. Learn how these two queens master the social chess match — and why “medium talk” might be the real enemy. Plus, their carts are full of rose-scented home goods and glowing skin. 

    Lemonada has teamed up with Apple Books to bring you the Lemonada Book Club. "The Art of Small Talk" by Casey Wilson and Jessica St. Clair is our audiobook of the month for the month of June! Listen here.

    Casey is obsessed with Homecourt, particularly the scent of the Homecourt Steeped Rose Candle
    Which smells a lot like the Homecourt Steeped Rose Room Deodorant (you can use it in your car, too)
    But wait, don’t forget this Homecourt Steeped Rose Hand Wash 
    Casey is taking a firm stand against the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite LED LipWare Pro 
    Jess has been loving the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops Sun Glow Serum from Glow Recipe
    But unfortunately the Dyson Airstrait hair straightener is not the vibe
    Watch SuChin small talk her way through hosting the tell-all episodes of Seeking Sister Wife

    Traveling with Kids (with Dylan Thuras)

    Traveling with Kids (with Dylan Thuras)

    Dylan Thuras, co-founder of the travel company Atlas Obscura, has been to 30 countries. But even more impressive: he’s traveled internationally with his kids, and lived to tell the tale. Between SuChin’s family trip to South Korea and Kulap’s first plane ride with Eme, the Aunties are ready to soak up the wisdom – or at least, go into the dark together. They swap travel tips and carts, from the perfect kid-friendly headphones to a magical place where you can actually buy people’s unclaimed baggage.
