The Secret to Healthy Food That Actually Tastes Good: Samah Dada on Her Viral No-Bake Desserts, the Pantry Swaps That Will Change Your Cooking Forever and Making Comfort Food Clean

When we did an “Ask Us Anything” episode back a few months ago we were pleasantly surprised by the response and how many of you loved this new installment. We thought we’d go back to our trusty Instagram audience and poll you all on your burning beauty questions, specifically. From the best eyelash curler to non-negotiables we get into it all. Plus, would it be a solo episode if we didn’t throw in some extra recommendations? Lastly! Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Just thought we’d wish you all a happy V-Day regardless of your relationship status. Don’t forget— love is all around.

Dr. Marnie Nussbaum is one of the top dermatologists in New York. We could have talked to her about many things but there was one thing in particular on our minds: the teenage skincare craze. Dr. Nussbaum was featured on The Today Show a few weeks ago to discuss this very topic and we thought it was worth expanding on. With the rise of social media and clever marketing from beauty brands, we’re living in a different time. We get into everything our teens and tweens should and shouldn’t be doing and how we as moms can help steer them in the right direction. Of course we had to tap her on some derm stuff for us adults so we got the low down on the newest advancements and the products she’s loving day and night. Enjoy!

Anita Ko started out by making handbags out of fabric. One thing led to another and she got the attention of some big buyers. Cut to some more time later, and her jewelry business erupted. She’s made her mark by creating collections that are both wearable day-to-day and that exude a red carpet elegance. She’s worked with the likes of Michelle Obama, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Scarlett Johansson and so many more.

Lori Gottlieb likes stories. It’s the reason she pivoted from the film industry to therapy—so she could work more intimately helping people through their real problems. As a New York Times bestselling author and writer of The Atlantic advice column "Dear Therapist," she’s explored a plethora of topics we’re deeply interested in and can relate to. So many in fact, we had to narrow it down to one: friendships. Specifically, how to navigate them and the toxic friend. It’s something we deal with at every age since friendships exist as ever-changing. It can be the greyest of zones and trickier to handle than a romantic relationship. Lori gives us utterly sound advice and we hope this acts as further encouragement to start your year off on a positive note.

We have a stylish mom in the house, and at 52-years-old, Larissa Mills has become one of the biggest (and one of our favorite) style influencers. It all happened by accident. Her daughter, Ella, roped her into doing a TikTok that ended up going viral (go figure) and a year and a half later, here we are. We are obsessed with her OOTD videos. We are obsessed with her style. We’re basically just obsessed with her. Given that we’re slowly settling into 2024, we thought we’d pick her brain on all things resetting your wardrobe for this year and beyond. She happens to be a pro when it comes making basics feel anything but boring. If you’re in need of a little sartorial inspiration to help get your year off to the right start, this episode is for you.
