Stay ConnectedWhich night creams will make you look well-rested, is quitting coffee really worth the headache, can emptying your closet really bring you joy, and wtf is a gratitude practice, anyway? Co-hosts Doree Shafrir and Elise Hu explore these kinds of questions, with a big helping of humor and self-awareness. Together with weekly guests, they navigate what it means to care for ourselves as we get older — and hopefully wiser.

The self-referential meta episode of The OC has arrived. Summer stumbles upon an actor from her favorite show The Valley and manages to get the Newport gang all invited to a party at a club in LA. Between the party and the parents enjoying a restaurant meeting with meatloaf, psychoanalyzing Ryan’s need to save everyone, Paris Hilton’s cameo, Aunt Hailey’s secret career reveal, and Luke dramatically declaring he’s done sleeping with Julie Cooper within earshot of Marissa, Kate and Doree have a looooot to talk about.

The drama is drama-ing in episode 21 of The OC because Anna is leaving and Seth feels bad about it, Theresa is staying and Ryan feels confused about it, and the affair between Julie and Luke continues. Kate and Doree discuss Cal’s party where the teens and the adults all mix like the totally normal grown-up parties that all of us go to, Eddie possibly being the new Oliver, the fights that inevitably happen at Newport parties and, perhaps most titillatingly, which member of The OC is good in bed.

Let’s talk about the hair dryer! Doree tells Kate about how it started as a metal contraption you could connect to your vacuum or your gas stove pipe(!!) and evolved into the hand held hair dryer you know today. They also discuss the utility companies’ hand in this tools rise in popularity, how “the bob” played a part in the development of this tool, and why the technology of the bonnet dryer is making a comeback. It’s a boom of blowing technology!
