156. Hello, Cuffing Season feat. Sixtine Rouyre

Sixtine says cuffing season (& dating in general) doesn’t have to be anything but a good time — and she has the spreadsheet to prove it!

It’s a wonderful day for all our single and searching friends out there because we have Sixtine Rouyre in-studio dishing the goods! She’s dropping real dating-expertise, excel spreadsheets, some simple adjustments to your dating strategy and overall? - Just some confidence and chill we can all sit back and enjoy even if you're already cuffed! She’s giving us all some permission to be our most settled and authentic selves, to hide nothing on dates, and to find our own siren eyes … You’ll get it when you hear it.

But before we get into all that goodness, we’re first finding out what and *cough who* might be making Raeann a sports fan. In the end, Raeann and Kristina are entering their sports era and we are here for it! And then after announcing our Gift Bag Giveaway winner we obviously have to address the low-hanging garland in the room and #JusticeForSteve.


What We Also Get Into: 

  • Is Raeann going to be an Avalanche or Rangers fan? 

  • Does Kristina live in Pleasantville or what!? 

  • Is Jack Harlow Raeann’s new perfect celeb crush? 

  • #JusticeForSteve and the low-hanging Christmas garland

  • Announcing the Gift Bag Giveaway 

  • Authentically going into dates

  • What if a date doesn’t confirm day-of? 

“Most men can't be trusted to plan … Like, realistically, you're just gonna be disappointed. The same applies to sex, I think. If you just expect them to know everything, you're gonna be disappointed.” –Sixtine Rouyre

155. Ask Away: Seeing Your Old Crush at Your New Job and How to Handle Your Friends Being Approached by Guys - But Not You!

Now, we know you’re all dying to hear whether or not Raeann went out on THAT date we talked about last week … Well, let’s just say there was a shirtless selfie and some bad communication, do you think that was a dealbreaker for Raeann and would it be one for you? 

Next we’re moving on to some Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette Theories, of which there are a few … Is it going to be Leslie or Teresa and WHO is right for the first Golden Bachelorette? All of that aside, Kristina spent the first night at her new house and is filling us in on her favorite parts of the house, especially a shower and bathroom that sounds like a spa— heaven. 

But the last half of this episode is devoted to YOUR questions and we’re tackling two great topics today: Old crushes in new environments and confidence in context to your friends. 

 What We Talk About: 

  • Did Raeann go on that date or not? 

  • “When in doubt, don’t send sexual selfies.”

  • Golden Bachelorette Theories- Should it be Joan, Leslie, or Teresa?

  • Kristina’s first night in her new house

  • A shower, some built-ins, and some waterfront light that make all the difference

  • What do you do when the past co-worker you fell for shows up at your new job? 

  • How do you feel confident in your skin when your friends are seemingly approached more than you?

Someone else’s beauty doesn’t take away from your own. –Raeann Langas

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
