Food! Grocery Lists, Go-To Meals, Favorite Restaurants and More May 20, 2022

Show notes

What an overdue episode! We could go on for hours about all things food but today we briefly touched on a bunch of topics from our grocery routines, how we make eating at home more appealing, appliances, funny food experiences, recommendations, go to meals, recipes and some of our all time favorite spots.

We realize food can be a touchy subject for many. We hope you have a good relationship with food but it’s important to know almost all of us struggle with our body image at some point. There’s good days and bad days and many in-between. Sending you love if this has been a really hard journey for you and we hope you find the help and resources you need.

Our Thoughts on Influencers, Revolve Fest, and Social Media May 13, 2022

Show notes

Are people over influencers? Is it worth quitting your 9-5 to become an influencer? Why do we admire certain individuals over others? Are we sick of seeing advertisements on every social media platform? Should you meet your heroes? What downsides are there to growing a huge following?

There’s so much to discuss when it comes to influencer culture that we could have gone on for hours! We talk about the psychology of why we value influencers' opinions, problems within the world of brand partnerships, how accountable influencers should be for promoting products and experiences, what their lives might really look like behind the scenes and how the scene is continuously changing.

We also finally got a chance to catch up on what we’ve been up to! Allison has been spending a lot of time outside - walking, hiking and picnics in the countryside. Ceara is back from three weekends in Palm Springs after attending Revolve Festival, Coachella Weekend 2 and a big shoot for Beautiful Destinations.

Confidence, Balance, and Living an Attainable Lifestyle with Lindsey Wedgeworth Apr 22, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Lindsey Wedgeworth. Growing up as a dancer, Lindsey had the unique opportunity to work on a cruise ship after college and then move to Los Angeles. When the pandemic happened, life three a curveball that allowed Lindsey to pivot. She is now living her best balanced, well-rounded life in Florida as a content creator with her growing podcast and social media channels.

We covered so many wholesome topics from taking risks, being away from your family, mental health, doing things alone, body image, social pressure, planning trips on a budget, prioritizing your values and finding a realistic balance between all that life offers.

This was an awesome girl-talk episode that anyone can find comfort, value and new perspectives from.

If you enjoyed this episode, we would really really appreciate it if you left a rating and review on Apple Podcast / Spotify or share the show with a loved one. This helps us grow the show so that we can keep doing what we are doing! Thank you so much for the support

Pop Culture Trends: TikTok, Our Favorite Emojis, + Lingo Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

A lighthearted carefree episode where we update the friendsquad on what’s been going on in our personal lives, how we are trying to romanticize the little moments and sharing peaks of the week.

For today's show, we have a conversation about pop culture trends because as gals in their mid-to-late 20's, we fall in that awkward age range between Gen Z and Millennials (where we either know-it-all or are completely clueless - and there's no in-between). We love social media and keeping up with trends, but we’re also on that hump out of college where we admittedly have to use Urban Dictionary sometimes. Hopefully you can laugh with us, and not at us, in this funny girl-talk style episode.

You can take beach vacations, outdoor excursions, cultural experiences, long road trips, big group party trips, a budget trip, van life adventures, visit loved ones or to see a particular site. It can be overwhelming to narrow down when to go, where to go, how long and what to do when you actually arrive.

With Ceara’s background as a travel producer and Allison’s experience traveling to 20+ countries, we wanted to talk about where we begin with our trip planning process.

We give tips on figuring out travel times, how we find hidden gems, booking flights, credit cards, insurance, weather, travel companions, budgets, and accommodations.
