We are back with a fantastic podcast and an exceptional guest. Our guest is outstanding for a few reasons. Number one, she is our first guest on the pod, and secondly, she has a great business teaching us how to be more confident on video. Why should you listen? Well, for one, Emma Roberstson is BAFTA nominated and has worked with the likes of Jamie Oliver and Piers Morgan.

In this episode, we ask Emma how to be more confident on video and why it's essential. FYI, it's important because we want to hear and see your message. After all, your message (whatever that is) is essential!

Finding clothes that fit can be a real struggle! That's why this week's episode is full of strategies you can take to the fitting room.

In today's episode, we break down the essential makeup tools you should have in your repertoire.

We have some great strategies for you to stay focused and YOUR makeup needs. However, our most important strategy is " Makeup should be FUN!"

In this episode, Tuesday and Yvonne talk about shopping for clothes at Costco - yes, THAT Costco! According to The Washington Post, Costco sells more than $7 BILLION in apparel (see notes below). Who knew? Yvonne walks us through her shopping experience at the warehouse giant.

For your two Gen X co-hosts, this was a tough - and likely controversial - topic to record. But we are truly trying to be better people and hope you'll join us! Since we recorded this episode, we've run into a plethora of articles and videos on this subject that might color the perspectives you heard us speak about in the episode. Like we say, when you know better, do better! And we will. Thanks for showing us grace. xo, Tuesday & Yvonne.

Notes from this episode:

We didn't have a real title for this episode because we weren't really sure where, exactly, it was headed. We just wanted to start a conversation about the benefit of listening to professionals vs taking advice from those posing as professionals. If nothing else, you'll hear some fantastic stories from Yvonne's life as a hair stylist (which are always super interesting!).

When we're not talking about fashion, style, & beauty on our own podcast, we have a wide variety of other podcasts we love to listen to. Okay, maybe Yvonne is committed to the true crime genre, but are we surprised? Listen in as Tuesday & Yvonne let you in on what they listen to and how they feel about "justice." It's another fun one, as always.

What are the products we can not live without? Listen up to some very interesting products that Tuesday and Yvonne can not live with out! 

Follow us on IG to get the links for all of our picks. 

Covid changed the salon game. Yvonne is going to break down how this has changed and how you navigate the salon experience.

We think a conversation about brows is past due. Let's discuss how we maintain our brows, current brow products and services on the market, and how we keep our brows on fleek, as the cool kids say!. We even bought a nifty brow product in our amazon cart while recording and think we might try a new brow service. Of course, the link is here for you to try too!

Let us know if you are game to try new brow products or services, and which ones you love!

This episode is based on the May 2022 Vouge article "Fresh Cut." Short hair is the cut of the season, but we're moving beyond the "pixie." Let's talk short hair today!

Notes from this episode:

Hello Strategists! This episode is a modge podge of topics. We discuss the latest in Kardashian wedding attire, Memorial Day sales, beauty and style tips (hint hint Let's keep it EASY and BREEZY!), and of course our big announcement. 

We want to thank you for following us and listening to us wherever you may find us! Your support helps us grow. If you haven't yet please give us a rating and review on your podcast platform, and tell a friend too!

This is a long one! But there are so many fashion and beauty collaborations dropping this spring! In this episode, we look at a few that dropped in May. Hopefully you'll discover some new brands like we did (like Smiley!).
p.s. - apologies for the audio starting towards the second half. Instagram has not been the best platform for our podcast audio. We're looking to improve that soon. Stay tuned!

We ask if we have influence, want influence, and should we want it.  At the top of the podcast, we chat about our lives, so you'll also get to know us a bit more and our lack of athletic ability.
