    142. Thongs, locks & love - hello summer!

    Hello, summertime, and hello thong bikinis! Yes, that’s right, we weigh in on Gen-Zers' rediscovering things that we Millennials already consider in style or popular, like thong bikinis. Or are we just old?
    Summer also has us thinking about our long locks of hair and proper hair hydration. We spontaneously dive into our own hair issues. According to astrology, this is also meant to be the “summer of love” and let me tell you, we are already feeling the summer love vibes!

Women Empowerment

I found these girls because of their episode titled, “The Power of our Voices- Empowering Women Podcasters”. This episode struck a cord with me because it helped me realize that we all have a voice and we CAN make a difference with our words. It was nice to have to many different women come on and give us their message. I just felt validated and as a woman, I felt empowered! Give this podcast a try, you’re going to love it!
