Athena Calderone (A.K.A.) EyeSwoon is many things. As an interior designer, author, chef, and entertaining expert she has mastered the home, and, thus, has mastered the art of throwing a seamless dinner party. In fact, her hostess skills stem from days of debilitating shyness. Soon thereafter, a star was born. As we head into the holidays, we wanted to pick Athena’s brain on all things entertaining from where to start (especially if you aren’t one for hosting), easy and affordable ways to set...

What an episode this was to record (from New York!) and what an episode it will be for you to tune into! Laura Lynne Jackson is an enigma. She’s a teacher, a speaker, and psychic, and a medium. You might be thinking: a psychic and medium, okay prove it. For those skeptics out there, we challenge you to take a listen with an open heart and mind. In fact, Laura claims you don’t even really need her to do so—we all have these abilities within us and there are ways to rewire our brain-waves to...

We love doing these round-ups and talking product. It’s kind of our thing. Since we’re well into October (if you can believe it) we wanted to highlight a few things specific to our fall routines. Think: a little extra hydration, extending that tan as long as possible, warm eyeshadow hues, the re-introduction of retinol, and so much more. Some of these we discovered mid-to-late summer, others have been tried-and-true that we’re bringing back into the fold as the temperatures drop. If...

The Seedlings Group is an amazing organization. Co-Founders, Bronwyn Charlton and Aliza Pressman, not only happen to be the best at what they do in their field of developmental psychology but they are also both very near and dear to Molly and Emese’s hearts. We really wanted to do an episode dedicated to parenting styles and specifically dissect the differences between helicoptering and advocating—it’s such a grey line, isn’t it?! Plus, we wanted to hone in on what the tools are we need to...

We love getting to talk to other hosts of beauty podcasts especially dynamic duos. We were so honored when Breaking Beauty’s Jill Dunn and Carlene Higgins said yes to coming back on. In 2021, we had a super fun conversation with them all about summer glow. Cut to present day and we’re switching gears, picking their brains on a big and buzzy word in the beauty industry: “de-influencing.” Plus, they tell us who and what they actually are influenced by as well as reveal everything in their top...

Marlien Rentmeester is a master when it comes to fashion curations. Founder of one of our favorite blogs, Le Catch, her true superpower lies in brand discoveries, pairing high and low in an effortless way. We wanted to pick her brain on all things fall fashion for everyday—you know, the wearable stuff. We're pretty confident we covered all the bases with her: investments and what to splurge on, new denim silhouettes, the color of the season, layering tips, the It bag—and so much more. If...

Jenna Rennert is truly one of our favorite people in the beauty space. In fact, she gives us a run for our money. Since coming onto the podcast two years ago, she’s grown into a friend and we inherently trust her opinion (and knowledge) when it comes to skincare, makeup, and beyond. She’s diligently mastered a knack for some of the most clever tips, hacks, and tricks. Jenna dishes on the best at-home treatments including the ultimate at-home facial and how to de-puff your face. She gets into...

This is a new episode for us that we’re calling “Ask Us Anything.” We thought we’d poll you guys on some of your burning questions (we got so many!). We truly wish we had time to get to all of them in under an hour. We answer who makes the best red lip, what procedures Molly has tried, what Molly and Emese do with all the products they receive, their Paris musts, and so much more. We’re thinking we’ll do these episodes every so often—it was fun and we hope you enjoy. Keep sending in your...

Vogue’s Chioma Nnadi is a force to be reckoned with—and with Fashion Week and fall on the horizon, we thought there was no one better to sit down with than the very woman who is constantly ahead of the style and culture eight-ball. After all, that’s the exact job of a Vogue editor. With a cue from boss Anna Wintour, one must always be on the lookout for what’s next. On that note, we discuss the influence of the Lydia-Tár effect, Barbie-core, and Wednesday Addams. Chioma shares her #1...

Dr. Will Cole is world-renowned. As a leading functional medicine practitioner, he specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease as well as customizing an approach for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and brain problems. With several books (and a podcast: The Art of Being Well) under his belt, he’s touched on subject matters ranging from the keto diet to inflammation to intuitive fasting, and, now, the gut. If...

Today’s episode is a really important one. We wanted to dive into all things brain health (specifically female brain health) and really unpack the difference between Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s, and more, plus all the things we can be doing early for prevention. We thought who better to discuss this topic with than dream team neurologist’s Dr. Kellyann Niotis and Dr. Richard Isaacson—their wait-list spans several years and they are the utmost experts in this area. We go further into...

Jessica Seinfeld has a really simple mission. She just wants to help you. Growing up with a mother who loved to cook, she was an early adopter of the home-cooked meal among her peers. When she had a picky eater for a child, she was put to the test to find clever ways to ensure proper nutrition was met. She never set out to write a cookbook, but now, years later, she has five (all of which are New York Times Best Sellers). Her latest, “Vegan, At Times,” is for those who are vegan-curious but...

It’s Jennifer Fisher’s world and we’re just living in it. Formerly a stylist, she’s since taken on the role of founder of her namesake line, Jennifer Fisher Jewelry. Going down this path was quite merely an accident. Now, the queen of hoops and fan-favorite to just about every celebrity and counting, Jennifer is a force to be reckoned with. She is undoubtedly a wellness guru (self-proclaimed or not) and is deeply passionate and well-versed in all arenas from food to nutrition to exercise,...

You may know by now that Emese has been through quite a year. Her six-year-old daughter, Grace, was diagnosed with Lymphoma last summer. It’s a testament to both of their strength how well Emese has led Grace will optimism and poise. Grace has forged ahead like the absolute rockstar she is. A year later, Emese is ready to tell you all the story of what happened, how it started with a gut instinct, a mother’s instinct, and why it’s an instinct worth following like your North Star. Get multiple...

Monika Blunder happens to be Molly’s OG makeup artist and very dear friend. She also happens to be one of most renowned names in makeup and beauty. We were so excited to have this conversation with her—old friends really are the best one's. We focus on how to garner good skin from within and she dishes on all her natural makeup techniques to get that flawless, glass-like finish. It’s important to note that good skin from within starts with your lifestyle before it does with product. From spot...

A dermatologist’s #1 tip is always going to be: wear sunscreen. Dr. Joshua Zeichner is no exception. We thought we would dedicate this episode to taking care of your skin during the summer months. We adore soaking up the sun, looking tan, but, at the same time, we take our skin seriously. We deep dive into SPF, sunburns, natural remedies, how to care for inflammation, and so much more. The old “don’t sit in the sun” might sound obvious but it goes much further than that—we’re exposed to UV...

Coco Berthmann became internet-famous by sharing her story of surviving sex trafficking as a young child growing up in Germany. She was sheltered and supported by families in Utah, where her faith and fame intertwined. But in 2022, Coco was arrested for raising money for a fake cancer diagnosis, and people began to doubt everything that she had ever said. Is her life story truly one big elaborate lie? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sara Ganim and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning showrunner...

It’s hard for us to believe we had the chance to sit down with Michelle Pfeiffer, one of our all-time favorite actresses and our ultimate beauty icon (isn’t she everyones?). I mean, hello “Scarface.” Beyond her unparalleled career in film, Michelle has been a pioneer in the non-toxic fragrance space with her line Henry Rose that launched in 2019 and is the first line of fine fragrances with 100% ingredient transparency. We get into the meaning scents hold, the memories they elicit, her...

‘Ozempic' might be the word of 2023—and we’d be lying if we said we weren’t fascinated by the craze. What even is it? How does it work? Who is eligible? Is it safe? We had a million questions that medical weight loss expert, Dr. Thais Aliabadi answered, and then some. She’s a board-certified physician who specializes in obstetrics, gynecology, infertility, and has recently launched Trimly, a personalized medical weight loss treatment plan. By the way, we can’t say who, but she has delivered...

The best bronzer? Check. The best orange-red lip? Check. How about the best SPF? Check, check. It’s officially summer and is there anything better than a summer product? You know very well what we’re talking about. Those coveted products you carry in your beach bag, have with you poolside, and are in close-reach on your vanity. While, yes, it’s about getting that golden-hour-glow, it’s also about how to prep your skin for the perfect (fake) tan and get that sea water and chlorine out of your...

Tinx. God, do we love her. Fun fact: she was our first ever guest here on Lipstick on the Rim. We were a new podcast, she was a budding star. Look how far we’ve both come. Now, known as the 'internet’s older sister,' she’s taking the world by storm as a lifestyle creator, advice expert, podcast host, and now author. She’s hilarious, she’s smart, oh, and she just wrote a book, “The Shift,” all about changing your perspective (not yourself) when it comes to dating, self-worth, and becoming the...

The M-word. The dreaded, dreaded M-word. Do we dare even go there? Okay, yes, fine, let's. Menopause. We said it. We have to start talking about it. Naomi Watts, one of our all-time favorite actresses, goes there with us. She, herself, experienced early symptoms (hello dryness) in her mid-to-late 30s and it’s time we all stop suffering in silence. She shares her story, how to prepare ourselves in advance, why opening up the conversation is half the battle, and knowing you’re not alone. Plus,...

She started out as a model, blossomed into a content creator, and has since made her mark as California’s quintessential bohemian beach girl. Rocky Barnes. Her name even sounds cool, doesn’t it? She’s an expert when it comes to personal style. She travels a lot and is REALLY good at packing. We thought how perfect would it be to have her guide us through summer—fashion, travel, and beyond. She reveals her fashion must-have (hint hint: you’ll instantly look pulled together). She tells us where...

Ciara. One word. Two syllables. You could say she’s earned the title: ‘Queen of Pop.’ But she’s so much more than just a singer and songwriter. She’s a multi-faceted businesswoman. Her recently launched skincare brand, OAM (which stands for ‘on a mission’) is her latest foray into beauty and self-care—and she is ALL about self-care. We dive into why having agency over your own life is crucial and why self-belief should come first. She guides us through her workout routine (she’s a Peloton...

This is a big week for us. It’s a big week for Molly. 50 years around the sun. It’s hard to believe, really. 50 years of wisdom, sure, but man oh man is she youthful as ever. After all, isn’t 50 the new 30? We think so, at least. For a very special and rare appearance, we asked Molly’s husband Scott, and their three adorable children, Brooks, Scarlett, and Grey (along with Emese, of course) to ask her 50 questions—plus a few extra. We simply couldn’t resist. Think of this episode as one big...
