142. Thongs, locks & love - hello summer!

Hello, summertime, and hello thong bikinis! Yes, that’s right, we weigh in on Gen-Zers' rediscovering things that we Millennials already consider in style or popular, like thong bikinis. Or are we just old?

Summer also has us thinking about our long locks of hair and proper hair hydration. We spontaneously dive into our own hair issues. According to astrology, this is also meant to be the “summer of love” and let me tell you, we are already feeling the summer love vibes!

126. Life changes, preservation & cancer with Sarah Kikuchi
Sarah Kikuchi was introduced to Ashley during her efforts to raise money for Man & Woman of the Year which is an intense 10-week fundraising competition taking place in cities across Canada for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC). Sarah’s story and perspective is eye-opening. She is someone who at a very young age has had to undergo a lot of personal, emotional, and physical trauma after being diagnosed with cancer in her 20’s, ending her marriage during her treatments, and ultimately realizing what she needs and wants in her life.

Sarah is now healthy, well, and very pregnant!
