So, Caresha Please is back, and I’m giving you my raw thoughts before I even watch it, then I circle back after watching the episode with my reaction.

In this episode, I discuss my elaborate beauty routine, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, explaining how I’ve seen amazing results by investing in high-quality products and taking care of my appearance.

I dive into my experiences with natural hair, my skincare regimen, and how I manage my eczema with both traditional and holistic methods.

I also talk about the products I use, from Lanza and Ecru shampoo to OSEA and Skinceuticals for my face, and how I’m careful about what I put on my body.

I’m curious to hear about your routines and any products you recommend, so feel free to drop me a note!

In this podcast episode, I reflect on the complexities of friendships as an adult, drawing parallels to a "board of friends" where each person occupies a distinct space based on the depth and nature of our connection.

I emphasize the importance of recognizing gaps in your friend board and seeking out new connections to fill those gaps.

Furthermore, I discuss the concept of firing friends when necessary, asserting that it's okay to set boundaries and end friendships that no longer serve me without feeling obligated to fix them.

I'm back after a week off, I was low-key hoping ya'll didn't notice my absence.

Between Hurricane Beryl and some traveling, it's been a crazy!

I give a shoutout to my man for tapping into his Boy Scout skills during the power outage from the storm; he's definitely earned some points. I know I'll be good in the apocalypse.

Being off social media has been easier than expected; I've been more present in real life.

Can't wait to keep the episodes coming and dive into new topics.

I openly confess my addiction to the internet and social media, admitting that I haven't intentionally taken a break EVER.

I reflect on how I constantly scroll through apps like Instagram and TikTok, feeling like I'm living in a digital bubble rather than in the real world.

Watching the show "Three Body Problem" on Netflix made me see social media as an alternate reality, prompting me to decide to take a break. Despite my addiction, I plan to use social media minimally for promoting my podcast, aiming to have a more balanced relationship with the internet.

I also discuss the ethical issues of digital marketing and how algorithms manipulate us, concluding with my decision to engage more with real life and reduce my reliance on the virtual world.

You've seen it on social media—people are leaving Greek orgs at an interesting rate, it makes you go hmmm.

Denouncing Greekdom features a tidbit on how I became in AKA + Chelsea, who shares her journey denouncing her membership in the same org.

Influenced by her faith and relationship with God, Chelsea's discomfort with the rituals began during pledging when the spiritual implications clashed with her upbringing.

Despite questioning and peer influence, she felt compelled by God to leave years later. Chelsea's decision was met with mixed reactions from her former sorority sisters, some understanding, others distant.

She emphasizes that denouncing isn't a trend but a spiritual conviction, urging introspection and transparency about Greek life's spiritual aspects.

Inspired by the Alizé bottle, we unpack gentrification—what the real issue is and how transplants and natives can help.

Brittany Antoinette, host of the Not So CEO Talkshow and Brooklyn native, takes us back in time and shares what old Brooklyn was like pre-9/11, before masses began moving to Brooklyn after not feeling safe in Manhattan.

She grew up in “The Flossy” a tight-knit community and compares it to now, where outsiders seemingly exclude natives based on status and aesthetic.

Although gentrification seems bigger than us and a fault of the government and high rent costs pushing natives out, we chat through what can realistically be done to connect everyone.

Towards the end, we talk about the "internet personalities" creating red tape around certain events; these individuals have been negatively impacted by internet culture & are pressed to be known and liked, losing themselves in the process.

We also question if they ever really knew themselves.
