When the Dog Eats the Cupcakes and Party City Disappears

Lauren P’s cake business is officially up and running—and holy shit, it’s been a ride. First week in and the dog ate 15 cupcakes (RIP funfetti), orders are flying in, and chaos reigns in the best way possible. Meanwhile, Lauren B. is diving headfirst into small biz marketing magic, ready to help brands find their voice and their people. But we need to talk about the real crisis: Party City is GONE. How are we supposed to throw parties now—DIY everything? Possibly. Probably. Definitely. Also: We’ve got hot takes on Netflix’s The Life List and Ransom Canyon, and a very important question... how is Josh Duhamel still aging like fine wine? Tune in, weigh in, and party on—even if you have to make your own balloon arch.
