    21. Tigers, Dragons & The Year Of The Ox

    21. Tigers, Dragons & The Year Of The Ox

    Another Monday, another episode! This week, the girls take a minute to briefly touch on a more serious topic. We've seen the news, and the escalations, in the last few years about issues of race and racial violence. 

    The girls don't claim to be experts, but what they DO know is that kindness IS free.

    They believe that everyone should be free to exist however they choose, and that everyone should be feel safe and have the same opportunities as every other person, regardless of skin tone, lineage or geographic factors.

    With all that being said, they learn a bit about Chinese New Year and what the traditional festivities mean, and as if they'd do that without a handy quiz!

    20. Bubble Tea, Beirut & Bodacious Becky

    20. Bubble Tea, Beirut & Bodacious Becky

    Ever head into a situation with a solid plan and then it just goes out the window? That's the girls this week! Zo thinks Hann did something to her bubble tea because they start the episode off on a high, including uncovering the T - R - U - T - H about Hann's Dad (probably, or like, a sketchy 12% of truth maybe). They spend this episode catching up, 20 feels like a good umber to do that right?! They've both worked flat out all week and haven't had many chances to chat with anyone, so they take full advantage! 

    Also, take their advice and be KIND always. Life's so much more fun that way.
