Over the last few years, the UK has been overwhelmed by Royal events, from the Platty Joobs, numerous funerals and most recently a Cozzie Nashe. This week, we discuss the role of the Monarchy within modern society and UK Politics, and what purpose they serve in 2023 modern day Britain, from the tricky history and ideals around decisions we might make if we were in charge today! See you next week for our final episode of series 1! Love from...2023-05-261h 06Young and StrugglingThe 'clean girl' aesthetic (we are tired)What's your morning routine? Maybe you don't have one? Do you want one? Today, Hannah and I discuss what the 'clean girl' aesthetic means, and how perhaps a culture of toxic productivity could be doing us more harm than good. Hosted on Acast.

A little break was much needed but we really missed recording! Much like many people, I watched the trailer for the new Barbie film set to release in July and became so excited to watch the film. This got me thinking about Barbie as a character, as a person of influence on young girls growing up and how she has shaped how women view themselves and other women. I posed the question; is Barbie a feminist icon? Whilst Hannah and myself have similar opinions on things 99% of...2023-05-1247 minYoung and StrugglingEverything we know about friendshipHappy Friday lovely friends! This week, myself and Hannah offer our reflections on friendships. This is a topic I find myself spending a lot of time thinking about. Your 20's can be a tumultuos time in general for many people, and one aspect of this that comes into play time and time again is the sometimes transient nature of friendships. Some friendships are for a reason, and some friendships are for a season, right? That being said, the beauty of friendship is too often lost and overlooked, but this week we wanted to bring it right back in the...2023-04-2149 minYoung and StrugglingOur renting horrors & the property ladder in the cost of living crisisWhat better time than in the middle of a cost of living crisis to break down all our sob stories about city life and renting? As 2 people who have both had their fair share of renting horrors, this week Hannah and I thought it would be appropriate to divulge some of our renting nightmares as 2 mid-Twenties gals. As always, there is a classic 'MC moment' story, Hannah's unfortunate landlord amongst many other things. We also spoke about what it means to own property in the UK, and how this gains leverage within classes and society, and offer our opinions...2023-04-1448 minYoung and StrugglingThe 5 things we'd tell our younger-selfHappy Easter! Things got silly and goofy in this episode, as we use the beauty of hindsight to offer our younger-selves some life advice based on the faux pas we've come to experience. We really enjoyed this episode - it was the perfect mixture of serious life advice and anecdotes on life, ranging from mental health, family and so much more.

Join us as we discuss the diabetes weight loss craze that is sweeping celeb world and beyond, 'Ozempic'. After discovering an article from The Cut weight-loss-ozempic.html about the phenomenon, we were left shocked and astounded by what we had read. We discuss what 'Ozempic' is doing, our worries surrounding this trend and the ideas it is helping to perpetuate in trends, fashion and culture in 2023.
