But why the fuss about appearance? As we're clawing our way through the mid point of our lives how do our bodies change? How should we dress to suit? Should we take care of our skin and how should we view ourselves when...

Tim and Sim are back to tackle that age-old question every older millennial asks at least thrice a week: “What am I even doing with my life?”. Juggling bills, family, career, relationships, health and wellbeing, and somewhere in between we're supposed to evolve into better people.
