A concept that basically tells you to take all of your lame excuses like, “my space isn’t big enough” and “I don’t know how to make a pinterest-perfect cheese board” and shove em up your ding-dong hole. Let it be scruffy - the point is just to be together! Plus we cover a few important terms like clanker, boy kibble, corisol-coded and la peace.

    Ballerina Boobs & Other Important Developments

    Hello Lovers! On today’s pod, we’re kicking things off with a one-month update on Emily’s brave Morpheus8 treatment powered by Groupon. Spoiler alert: she looks GREAT. Deanna, meanwhile, may have found the household appliance that finally changes her life: the BISSELL CrossWave OmniForce Edge. It vacuums! It mops! It gets right up against the baseboards! Is this her new emotional support appliance? We also unpack the ABC’s and 123s of “Ghost Posting”. How to use it, when to use it and why this mysterious old feature could come in handy. Come through, archive tool! Martini merch is all the rage and since this recording Emily has spotted a ‘tini time’ sweatshirt in the wild.

Itty-bitty-titty committee, it’s your time to shine! While boob jobs are certainly not a thing of the past, the aesthetics are changing. The days of the upright, perfectly rounded globes are giving way to something more refined, perky and, dare we say, tasteful: the ballerina boob. Dr. Terry Dubrow breaks down plastic surgery trends on this really fun episode of Steph Infection with Steph Tolev. And finally, we’re mapping out exactly where we are in the Alix vs. Alex wars. We’re factoring in TV show cancellations, renewals, product successes and failures, and, of course, the most important metric of all: general vibrations.

    The Breeders ‘Cannonball’ and a White Russian

    Deanna and Emily dive into why we feel old this week. Emily’s new puppy is kicking her asssss and Deanna knows she needs to step away from her neighborhood WhatsApp group before she gets renamed “Karen” in everyone’s contacts. Emily shares her journey to the inaugural Daisy Chain festival put on by Olivia Rodrigo. There were so many highs - like seeing The Breeders play Cannonball and Stevie Nicks sing Landslide, and then some real lows - like praying on a street corner at 12:30 a.m. that an Uber driver will whisk you and a few young children to safety. Is Olivia Rodrigo the woman we need right now? The one who will help us women get our tushes in line? $20 million donated to incredible women’s orgs is a fantastic start. Need an Olivia Rodrigo playlist? Here’s a good start: * Drop Dead * Stupid Song * Honeybee * Good 4 u * Vampire Plus, we get into a recent landmark court ruling that slaps Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Whats app!) with a huge $18 billion payout for knowingly using unsafe practices, especially for kids. And here are some pretty significant changes for users under 18: * Two-hour daily time limits * Nighttime restrictions so the apps aren’t pinging kids at 2 a.m. * More aggressive age verification * More parental controls * Restrictions on certain beauty and cosmetic filters * The ability to opt for a non-algorithmic feed (love this one) * More protections around messaging and potentially harmful content GET YOUR RED HOT RED LIGHT MASKS! 6 DAYS LEFT $50 off one device $115 off two devices $200 off three devices 15% off mini devices + skincare SHOP THE OMNILUX SALE → CODE: HTBLO10 Plus, we get into the continuing ‘90s fever and why Korean sunscreen is superior to the stuff we’re used to slapping on our faces in the U.S. What are you slapping on your face these days? Please let us know in the comments. Huge thank you and shout out to Deborah Schultz for leaving us a comment on our substack. It means so much!! Emily here: Girl, SAME! She’s a dang delight.

    Sydney Sweeney’s Latest Move - We Have Notes 📝

    In today’s episode we discuss Emily’s mental state before and after cashing in a Groupon for Morpheus. And Deanna shares a couple Groupon tragedies including a couples massage gone wrong. NIRA LASER CODE: HTBLO for 10% off the incredible at home laser. Say Goodbye To Wrinkles! The NIRA laser is FDA approved and made in the USA We wanna know, the Sneakerina: Is she here to stay? Hear what our youth correspondent has to say about the shoe that cosmo recently deemed a ‘closet staple.’ We also get into SABsing, which stands for ‘See and Be Seen,’ and it’s happening on campus. You linger in a public spot hoping to run into someone, or to meet someone new. This move is all about stepping away from the dating apps, because you’d rather meet someone in the wild with the hopes for a rom-com-style organic love story. This back to school season we are hoping for meet-cutes all over campus: the library, the dining hall, the student health center. Get out there and see and be seen! Plus, want to communicate that you are laughing really hard over text? Welp, the laugh-cry emoji is out. The dolphin is in. The youths are sending multiple dolphins in a row — you have to imagine the dolphin squeak sound as a giggle. Don’t be fooled, it’s not a desperate cry to head to the aquarium. Plus, we chat about Sydney Sweeney’s Erewhon smoothie called BLUEBERRY SYRN BY SYDNEY SWEENEY. Don’t get us started with that name. It’s a PR nightmare. Here’s a description: Inspired by Sydney’s favorite Erewhon breakfast, this blend is topped with Blueberry Muffin Crumbles and Vegan Coconut “Bacon.” A sweet taste of the morning, Sydney’s way. This Smoothie proudly supports Pink Ribbon Good, a charity that serves individuals and families affected by breast and gynecological cancer by providing free healthy meals, transportation to treatment, household essentials, and community support. $22 base. If you want to add collagen or colostrum you’ll add another 3-4 bucks. AND finally, we get into Town & Country’s third annual “What’s Cool on College Campuses” survey.
