    Fast Fashion

    It’s hard not to love runway-inspired clothing at discount prices, but, while the goods may be cheap, they come at a big cost to the environment and the people who manufacture the clothing.

    Fake It Till You Make It

    Fake It Till You Make It

    What do you do when you don’t feel good enough, smart enough, or competent enough? Well, some people—including some experts—might suggest you act as if, AKA fake it ‘til you make it, this episode’s subject matter. They claim that by behaving as if you’re already happy/successful/doing what you hope to be, you can manifest it into reality. Other experts, however, think this is, at best, a band-aid for feeling like a fraud, and, at worst, a reckless, irresponsible tactic, especially in the world of business.

    Fish Out of Water

    Fish Out of Water

    The expression “a fish out of water” means different things to different people. Since fish can’t exist for very long out of water, it clearly has something to do with being out of one’s normal habitat or comfort zone. On this episode of All the F Words, Gabi and Joanne will talk about the history of the term, instances where they’ve each felt like a proverbial fish on dry land, what you can do if you find yourself in such a predicament and what it might mean if you dream about fishes flapping around on the shore of a lake.

    Fake Meat

    Fake Meat

    In this episode, we’re talking about fake meat, an industry that has absolutely exploded, especially in the past decade, though recent inflation has had a significant impact on American consumption of it. We’ll talk about the history of fake meat, scientific breakthroughs that helped companies like Impossible and Beyond Meat make meat substitutes that taste pretty darn close to the real thing, and what experts predict will happen to the industry as a whole as food costs continue to rise.

    Freckles

    Freckles

    Some people think freckles are cute and they go so far as to paint fake freckles on their cheeks. Others hate their freckles and see smooth, unblemished skin as the mark of beauty. On this episode of All the F Words, Joanne and Gabi zone in on freckles – what they are, why some of us have them, and how we should take care of them, if we do. You’ll also hear about how Gen Z is all over the fake freckle craze.
