Holiday Calories Don’t Count
Katie and Meko are back with a weekend recap that includes: questionable decisions, aggressive holiday decorating, and a very important debate: are we ready for a Cher Netflix documentary or should we just… turn back time? They’re also checking in on who actually has their holiday shopping handled (spoiler: it’s not both of them). And this week’s theme is simple: we are done stressing about being perfect. If you overindulge in cookies, mashed potatoes, or festive martinis? Congratulations! You’re doing the holidays correctly. There’s always tomorrow to hit a barre class and chug some greens.
