#17 - What's the Deal With Beauty Standards?

In this week's episode, Naomi & Sadie are talking about beauty standards: what they are, how they’re harmful, and how we can approach certain beauty rituals in an autonomous way that gives us the freedom to decide what we actually want to be doing vs. what society expects us to do in regards to our appearance. We also cover Hype House, grey hair, and how being told you look younger than you are is a weird compliment to receive. Plus, we’ve shared before that complimenting weight isn’t a great idea because it upholds societal standards that smaller is better (which is inaccurate). But what about complimenting someone’s hair? Or their clothes? Or their overall attractiveness? Is that okay? You’ll have to listen to hear our thoughts on this!
