Ep 14: Manicures Are Good For You
Listen now
Description
I love getting my nails done. I love matching a nail color to my mood or sending out a secret message only I can decode with my nail color. And I’m frequently clicking through nail design hashtags to marvel at manicures from around the world. So when I saw Cate Young posting pictures of her manicures and the polishes she uses, I was like “Here are my people!”   Indulgence Nichole recommends dressing up for yourself!   Pre-order Nichole’s book Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be and read her article about her mom’s manicures.   Guest Cate Young is an associate podcast producer and freelance writer from Trinidad and Tobago and the creator of BattyMamzelle; a feminist pop culture blog focused on film, television, music and critical commentary on media representation. Her writing has dealt particularly with the intersection of race, gender and sexuality and her focus is on media representation, its wider influence, and its power to changed social attitudes.   Sponsors - Girlfriend Collective is sustainable, ethically made activewear for everyone.

It’s been a while since I got dressed up to schmooze and mingle, but recently I attended a gala. I got nervous about what to wear: I didn’t want to be underdressed and I definitely didn’t want to be overdressed. My guest today, Alex Zaragoza, has plenty of thoughts on the joys of overdressing,...
