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.

In this episode we get into: struggling with shopping, the frustrating madness of clothing sizes, how to measure clothes (from the crotch, baby!) and find a fit you like, a shocking revelation about Doree’s feet, and a hot lip gloss recc with a terrible name.

School is finally in session on The OC! This week, Sandy and Kirsten choose their phones over sex, Marissa plans yet another event, Seth works overtime to make Summer jealous, Anna wears a tube top over a long sleeve shirt, Ryan broods and rocks a 90’s tv mom haircut, and Luke comes around groveling yet again.

Kate gets her first professional chemical peel and Doree tries a new, fancy skincare device before comedian and writer Aparna Nancherla joins them to chat about her new book Unreliable Narrator: Me, Myself and Impostor Syndrome. They go deep into what it’s like to get what you want but not feel like you deserve it, the joy of starting the day with a mini dance party, learning how to be engaged and informed without using social media, and loving the day-to-day rather than the end goal.
