"I'm Not Into Face Touching"

We survived the month of January, and I think we can all agree that's something to celebrate! Balancing work, family, and a relentless stream of sick days and snow days is no joke. That's why we're kicking off this episode by talking about how we share the household load with our husbands, and what we're outsourcing just to survive. Then, we're venting about our latest blood boilers, like annoying trips to Verizon and losing our favorite things. And we're calming it down with a reminder to embrace whatever season you're in - and a great story of a failed lash lift! 👯‍♀️ Today’s Banter Includes: How we’re sharing the load at home (and what we outsource first!)
