  • 10: a brief history of nails + heels: it all began with men??
    Nov 11 2022
    SEASON 1 FINALE!

    Rox & Rachel will be serving for all BB’s enjoyment: one very special announcement, the history of nails - from 2,000 year old beauty hacks to colors assigned by classism, and some dirty fun facts on the trashiness of heels (you’ll get it). This one is full of more societal norm gender-benders for the ages!

    We’d like to warmly thank all our BBs for cruising through season 1 with us. Let us know what you want to hear next and enjoy the sweet suspense until season 2!

  • 9: a mental health talk on inner peace ft. Susan Shafer, LCMHC + Kyra Josephson
    Nov 4 2022
    Ahem, here is formal permission to find time for yourself. The BBs are getting vulnerable and real — we’re talking anxiety, mental health, and healthy coping. We have therapist Susan Shafer who leads us in a tapping exercise (a special tool for all our beloved trauma cherubs out there!) Kyra, a friend of decades, also joins to discuss finding inner peace in professional spheres, especially in relation to having mixed Asian-White heritage and the judgement of others. Stoke up your self-compassion and tune in.
