Bad On Paper

Today we are joined by Lauren Chan, the founder and CEO of Henning, a newly launched luxury plus-size clothing brand. We're completely in love with this brand and all its thoughtful details! We're also obsessed with Lauren, TBH. She gives us a peek into her experiences as both a plus-size model and fashion editor for Glamour Magazine. We get her insight into how the plus-size modeling landscape has changed over the years and how modeling has affected her relationship with her body. Maybe most interesting, she pulls back the curtain on all the retouching (and padding!) that goes on behind the scenes. We're shook! We also chat about her experience starting her own business (without any outside funding!), and the lessons she's learned along the way. Products, places, and links mentioned: Check out Henning here.

We don't know about you but we are both personality test obsessed. Today we're taking a look at three of our favorites: the 5 love languages, the Enneagram, and Myers Briggs. Every personality has its good and its bad, and we are both very cool with both sides of our own (thankfully!) If you ever think that Becca is roasting Grace, don't worry - that is how she shows love. We also break down introverts vs. extroverts. Grace gets on her soapbox: Just because you're introverted doesn't mean you're shy! We have a ton in common personality - wise, but when we differ, we definitely DIFFER! Take the quizzes yourself and see what we all have in common, and then come about them with us in the facebook group! Quizzes Mentioned: The 5 Love Languages - Take the test!

She also gets vulnerable, talking about what it's like to worry that people won't like her work.

Today's guest needs no introduction… it's Cindy Crawford! Besides being Grace's dream guest, Cindy is also an absolute expert when it comes to skincare. She talks about growing up in the midwest, an early mean girls experience, and of course: her modeling career. She also let us peek behind the curtain and learn how she started her own skincare line, all the way down to the chemistry! She also tells us her favorite fashion trends, products… even her work out routine. She also lets us in on a few model secrets (her swap for soy sauce, her cocktail of choice). Cindy talks about balance, self care, and motherhood. We found Cindy's life fascinating and didn't think this was possible but somehow love her even more than before!

We have been traveling quite a bit for our live shows and more, so we thought it was time to share some of our vastly differing opinions when it comes to travel. We talk about hotels, airplanes, beauty routines, packing, planning, and everything in between. Needless to say, we have some differing views on a lot of things! Today, in addition to hopefully amusing you with our strong opinions, we help you navigate some of the more stressful parts of traveling through our own experiences.

It's time for our July Book Club and today we are discussing American Spy. We are so honored that the author, Lauren Wilkinson, is joining us remotely! We talk about the book, her writing process (she rewrote it SIX times!), how the book began (a grad school assignment about a suburban family) and why she chose to leave the book open-ended. We also talk about more difficult social topics and how that inspired the book. This interview was so interesting.
