154. Friendsgiving: A Night to Remember!

Well our Confident Collective Friendsgiving was one for the books! We’re going to fill you in on our incredible night with awesome new friends, throbbing feet, a beautiful dinner, and we may even answer the age old question, “How many dirty martinis can Kristina order before the waiter tries to cut her off?” But before that, we’re catching you up on the day … which may or may not have included tears on New Jersey Transit, a euphoric cab ride, and a buccal massage— All before noon. 

 Raeann’s filling us in on the pre-Friendsgiving photo shoot drama and a pretty privilege joke that fell flat while also bringing us along for a Nightcap Adventure involving a pickle entrepreneur, raccoon eyes, and Lady and the Tramp. You’ll just have to listen to see what we mean! But the gist is that we had another wonderful night, just bringing women together, and we’re excited for much more. 

 And if you’re on board for some incredible goodies, you’ll not want to miss us going through our Holiday Gift Bag. We’ve got everything from Rose Inc. Eyelash Curlers to Kérastase and Orbe products, to Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches and some wonderful Maybelline treats. The point is, you don’t want to miss a second! 

 

What We Talk About:

  • A crying commute, a lot of excitement, and some frazzled bag stuffing

  • Sometimes things just don’t go as planned

  • Kristina had a buccal massage that Raeann missed in the same room

  • Why do pictures on film just look better? 

  • Pretty privilege and when jokes miss

  • Possibly one of the best nights ever? 

  • Kristina tells a story about carrying a 15lb. chair around her neck via a scarf

  • Why does everyone think Raeann and Kristina are siblings? 

  • Going through the gift bag

152. Going Deeper with Rosie: The Virtue of Food, Eating Differences within Relationships, and Commenting on Each Other’s Habits

Navigating any food conversations with your person or potential partner can be tense and tricky. We each have a very different relationship with food but that doesn’t mean we can’t come to the conversation from a level place and not with a grenade-of-opinion in our hand. That’s why we’re so glad to have Rosie back with us to help answer a listener’s question about this very thing. The best part? We all heard the question a bit differently so you’re really going to get a variety in perspectives today!

We also get to hear about Raeann’s trip to Vegas, XS, eye-surgery update and a surprise Diplo show. This may or may not have subsequently led to an urgent care pit-stop on her way out of town to Paris. And don’t worry, we’re getting the details on what may be the perfect hookup, anddd some other possible vacation romances. Meanwhile, Kristina’s having a bit of a time getting settled after her big move and some disappointing school visits, lack-luster ferries, and a not-so-reliable babysitting situation. But she’s trusting the process! So gear up, we’ve got a great ep for you! 

We can’t believe you sold out Friendsgiving IN A DAY?! We are blown away by you and feel so thankful that you want to spend Friendsgiving with us! And YES we are already scheming our next event!! So if you missed this one, don’t worry — we have more coming!!
