We chat with a style icon that we know you've seen around the Twice Is Nice Shoppe - Lily! In the first part of our conversation, we discuss how Amber and Lily are total opposites with shockingly different backgrounds. We shatter the idea that your friends should be similar to you - or even like the same things that you do. We ask, 'which character on TV or in books are you?' and '...

Emily and Amber (finally) get real with the dirt on Fashion. The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. If that weren't enough, the fashion industry is often associated with poor working conditions and human rights abuses. 🚨 Fast fashion has made it easier and cheaper than ever to buy new clothes. People are buying more clothes than they need, and they are thro...

Oh boy, we start with a whopper of a tangent before we even dive into this episode's topic: A woman's identity in being childfree or being a mother. So hang in there with us while we discuss not having a motherhood handbook, 'mothering' the verb, biological clocks, and people always asking you the, "Are you going to have any [more] kids?" question. The conclusion of it al...

Enjoy this meandering conversation (a...

What is it with THAT girl who has a 12-step morning skin care routine? Are we jealous of her?
