With a Grain of Salt takes a deep dive into all the good, bad, and ugly life experiences of two college undergrads and all the things they’ve learned from them.

The Importance of Self-Care
What counts as self-care? In a society that's so used to working to no end, carving out the time for the typical “self-care” luxurious bath feels borderline impossible. That’s why your hosts Jenny and Cindy have learned how to embrace the small achievements (even celebrating getting out of bed, because sometimes that’s hard enough). Join us as we delve into the importance of self-care and what forms of self-care we have incorporated into our lives. Life is hard, so please take care of yourself—you deserve it.

Customer Reviews
Awesome
Happy 牛🐂Year ❤️🥳 Great topic and episode!
Interesting and delightful!
Two very cute 18-year-old girls talking about their life experience, high school, leisure time, favorite TV shows and celebrity, and the painful application for colleges... the introduction is fast pace but very delightful. Make you think about your own youth hood and can’t help smiling. Very good sound quality. Can’t wait to hear more!👍
WHOLESOME AND RELATABLE
These two will keep it 💯.
