    Nov 4 2025

    This week we’re hopping into some amphibian trivia! We test each other with fun (and surprisingly tricky) frog vs. toad facts to see which ones apply to frogs, toads, or both. Then we switch gears as Neptune shows off her new festive nails and we dive into a little relationship talk—should couples celebrate both their dating and wedding anniversaries, and how do we like to celebrate?
