.wpedon-container .wpedon-select, .wpedon-container .wpedon-input { width: 170px; min-width: 170px; max-width: 170px; } In this episode, we talk about the struggles about beauty standards lashes, hair and makeup. This led to talking about the new buzz words ‘aesthetic’ and ‘the clean girl’. We question whether it’s important *hint: it’s not*, and how these manifest into toxic friendships. We also talk about the fascination people have with touching black women hair without consent. If you do this please stop!!! Anyways, we hope you guys enjoy this episode.
