This week on Normal Shit, Kelsey is officially one week into being laid off, and we're talking about the weird emotional roller coaster of losing a job, figuring out who you are outside of work, and what might come next. From freelancing and the future of traditional media to whether everyone on TikTok is now a journalist, we get into what it means to build a career in an industry that's changing FAST. Then things get significantly less serious: Kelsey somehow broke her oven, nearly broke her dishwasher, and walked into a shower covered in mysterious brown sludge. We also get into Olivia's experience with Botox, SkinVive, microblading, the eternal question of how much is too much, and whether it's actually okay to have forehead lines. Plus: our August favorites, including books, shows (Sterling Point, Monsters of God), beauty products (It Cosmetics CC Cream, Kosas Brow Gel & Nano Brow Pop), self-tanner (Jergens mousse), Dunkin' Refreshers, Gilmore Girls pajamas, workout hacks, and the products that are making our lives just a little bit better.
