Ashley’s New Face (s02e09)
Listen now
Description
Ashley gives Jay all the details about her recent trip to Argentina for her FFS (Facial Feminization Surgery) with Dr. Di Maggio, and the amazing help she got from her friend Andrea (on Twitter @ButtermilkPecan) while recovering and getting settled in a strange city. Like any surgery, it wasn't a walk in the park, but Ashley was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't much pain, and she had no complaints about her relatively smooth recovery, which Ashley credits to her doctor's delicate approach. Ashley introduces Jay to Solar Oil from CND, a brush-on nail conditioner that -- although she's only been using it for about a week so far -- seems to be helping to keep Ashley's cuticles happy. Not wanting to make a big mess in her luggage with lotion that comes in a pump, Ashley found Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion, which has plenty of moisturizing but doesn't leave a greasy feel behind. (Ashley's nail polish in this episode is It's Up to Blue from Orly. We aren't being paid to say this -- just thought you'd like to know.)
