This week we're coming to you from hell! That's a joke, well, mostly. We are starting this episode off by addressing the overturning of Roe V. Wade and how we're coping (terribly, thanks for asking!). We're sharing how we're trying to keep some positivity alive, but more importantly make a difference! If you, like us, struggle with feeling that you're not doing enough right now, here are some ideas we shared:

• Wearing black on the 4th of July
• Prioritizing your spending towards businesses that align with your values. (A great starting point is the progressive shopper but make sure to do your own research as well). Vote with you hard earned $$$!
• Check out Girl & The Gov to stay up to informed on getting involved with politics locally and nationally (You can listen to our guest episode with them here)
• Amplifying stories of brave women and people with uteruses
  • Sharing your gifts! You can use your skills and talents to support those who are experts in this space
  • Donating where you can. This can be amazing organizations like Planned Parenthood but also individual creators and smaller accounts who create content that you get value out of

In the second half, we're switching gears and giving a little bit of an escape with a more lighthearted topic. This week we're covering how our friends influence us and vice versa. We've been seeing lots of posts and questions about pressure and influence from friends and we thought it was a great time to address it. We're covering the types of pressure we commonly see and how we try to balance our individual identities with belonging or listening to people whose opinions matter. We're also talking about the things we've been influenced to try or buy along the way thanks to our friends.

Question of the week: What are you most influenced to purchase from your friends recommendations?

Here are the products that we mentioned (*we're not selling anything, nor do we get commission, we just love these products*):

• You're the Only One I've Told by Meera Shah
• Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream
• Skinny Confidential Ice Roller
• GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker

And in case you missed it: We're taking a break for the month of July, but will be back and better than ever in August!

Get involved! We'd love to hear from you.
