These are the days of our... podcast These are the days of our podcast

In celebration of makeup day, Jen and Lisa talk to the ultimate guru of all things cosmetic - Emily Olijnyk! She shares some of her top tips for perfecting the art of makeup, some of her all-time-favourite products, and a few tales of makeup efforts gone... orange. 

Obviously, an episode would not be complete if we didn't veer into economic theory, chemistry, culture and racism, and ancient civilizations. 

Emily recommends: 


Tarte Cosmetic Surfer Curl mascara
Two-Faced Better Than Sex mascara
Glossier Boy Brow
Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint (in Uncuffed)
Dose of colors (in Aftermath) 
Glossier lip gloss

Any day is a great day to celebrate friendship, but especially July 30th, which is International Friendship Day! 

In this episode, Lisa & Jen discuss why having friends is great, different types of friends, and the impact that the pandemic has had on friendships. 

They interview one of their favourite friends Tori, Covergirl model of this epic friendship necklace, to dive into their friendship origin story. 

It's Plastic-free July! Lisa & Jen discuss the problem of plastic pollution, the Plastic-free July challenge, and why maybe skipping the straw isn't the magic bullet solution to climate change. 

Lisa and Jen are back from a brief summer break with the start of Season 2! 

They are starting this season at the top of the world (literally) with an episode on Everest! In this episode, they celebrate the anniversary of the first documented ascent (May 29th), the end of another Everest climbing season (end of June), and the birthdays of some of the most legendary climbers, which took place during our summer break. 

They also discuss some of the problematic aspects about the commercialisation of this epic peak. (Yes, they do chat about poop).  

In honour of museum day, Lisa and Jen chat about all the things they love about museums, including favourite museums, some of the strangest artefacts, tips for not looking like a total dummie when in an art museum, and plans for post-covid museum life! 

May is national pet month, so in honour of our beloved fluffsters (and other assorted animal creatures) Jen & Lisa chat all things pets - from cat handling gloves, the Covid-surge of pet ownership, dogs playing poker, and of course, all things Carrot.
