We're halfway! Welcome to episode 3 of our 6-part series!
Today, we're starting with the never-ending discussion of beige food... unfortunately, after years of humble bragging, Jess is now eating humble pie.
Flipping the order and doing our product recos at the beginning. Today, we are talking about salt and glassy skin with a deinfluence.
FIFO mum life! A question we received a few weeks ago asked about this, so we wanted to share our experience with it. Nicola asked Jess some questions, particularly, what did you choose to prioritise? We also discussed the bed and bath routine saga and got a musing from Mitch about cleaning.
What happens when you're a stay-at-home mum, and your network of mum friends starts going back to work? Some tips from Nicola.
A bit of bathing and foreskin chat, and we share our wins for the week.
Look forward to catching up next week!
