I'm Wigging Out

TLDR: Kee had words with a pharmacist, one step forward...three steps back, and something nice for your girls. How do you balance being positive while grieving the body you once had? How can you move forward when an invisible illness leaves you feeling stuck? And how common is chronic illness, really? This week, Kee and Lucy support Anon through a mental and physical rough patch.

TLDR: Kee and Lucy's first fight, a wife and mother's dilemma about infidelity and 30 minutes just for you. 1 in 3 Australians have thought about cheating on their partner, so how many of them actually do it?

I’m Glowing Out! TLDR: there's a new beauty retailer on the block, exactly what we're reaching for this summer, and Kee finally found a new favourite curl cream. Atomica just opened the doors to its first store, so does it fill the gap between the high-end beauty retailers and the convenience of a grocery store? Summer is upon us which means it's prime time for simplifying our beauty routines. And a lip balm so good that Lucy bought it twice. This month, Kee and Lucy unzip their summer makeup bags and share their hot weather non-negotiables. ⁠WHAT SHOULD WE (BEAUTY) BREAKDOWN?⁠ THINGS WE MENTIONED: Atomica Nudestix Hydrating Peptide Lip Butter GEORGIEMANE Curl Cream KEE'S EDIT: The KIND Collective Dreamy Everyday Skin Tint SPF 30 Huda Beauty Icy Nude Blush Filter in Latte Dermal Therapy Tinted Lip Balm in Peach Nude BUBBLE Bounce Back Balancing Toner MistL’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-SerumCinch Skin Pump + Glow Moisturiser Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub 14% Alpha-H Daily Dose Multivitamin Body Serum Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask LUCY'S EDIT: TOWER 28 BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush NARS Light Reflecting Makeup Setting Mist Cinch Sleep + Glow Mask The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray Missing Person Phlur EDP (SORRY) By Rosie Jane Missy EDP QV Ceramides Moisturising Cream Christophe Robin Hydrating Melting Mask with Aloe Vera Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick Revlon Illuminance Glow Filter HOSTS & PRODUCERS Lucy Neville / ⁠@lucymneville⁠⁠⁠⁠ Kee Reece Searles / ⁠@keereece⁠ AUDIO PRODUCTION: Madeline Joannou - Mylk Media ARTWORK: ⁠Hollie Dempsey⁠ THEME SONG:  Where to Next By Ritchie Everett (⁠Epidemic Sound⁠) The content of this podcast is general and anecdotal, not professional, and intended for entertainment purposes only.

In just one week, BUBBLE became the #2 skincare brand in Priceline. So, do we rate the products? Did we just find a luxe lip oil under $20? (yes).
