If you're like me, you've also been feeling a little overwhelmed with holiday shopping and the pressure to completely revamp your decorations this year. It can definitely be intimidating to scroll on your for you page and see people show off their $300 Home Goods haul of new Christmas decorations. In this week's episode, I give my thoughts on how I'm finding new ways to appreciate and go about this holiday season without feeling the urge to over-consume and overspend. 

I'm just a girl...who has taken a three month hiatus from recording. I'm so happy to finally be back and recording another episode of the podcast!

I'm living in a Barbie world, and I'm not mad about it. In this week's episode of the podcast, I give a full recap about my eventful week in my life––which includes seeing the Barbie movie.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm going on a slight rant / tangent about a concerning pattern I've been noticing across the fashion and beauty industries. It seems like nowadays, fashion and beauty trends are strongly dictated by what a few celebrities and public figures are wearing. There's nothing wrong with new trends popping up, but things start to take a not so great turn when these "trends" start feeling more manufactured instead of being organic. Tune in to hear more about this as well as tangents regarding my new apartment and obsession with Erewhon. 

Incase you missed it, the guys are getting rid of their skinny jeans and opting for more relaxed fitting trousers. In this week's episode, I unpack this trend and why it might be emerging.  Tune in to hear more about this trend analysis!

Maybe it’s the change of seasons or the end of an era, but does anyone else feel like there’s a shift happening? In this week’s episode of the podcast, I talk about some of the shifts I’ve been noticing within fashion, consumer goods, dating, and life in general.
