In this highly anticipated episode, 15-year injectables veteran, Heidi Fell, RN explains best practices and provides invaluable advice for those who are looking into what I like to call "the elixir of the gods."

You will find footage at the end of the episode on my channel of Heidi injecting me with my neuromodulator of choice, Dysport.

What Being A 'Mean Girl' Actually Says About You
5/24/2022
"Women Supporting Women" seems to be on its' way out. At some point during the past two years, there are, in fact, women who have started undermining their colleagues, their friends, their boyfriend's ex... you get the picture. Why aren't we lifting each other up? Not all toxic relationships are romantic! So, what is toxic femininity? I turned to Ginger Dean, psychotherapist and founder of "Loving Me After We" to learn more; how to identify toxic feminine energy and to understand it - that it is routed in primal wounding, rooted in the idea that she "is not enough." Unfortunately, each women is on her own - there is no one coming to save us on a white horse... except for, guess who? YOUR OWN DANG SELF. So let's all get on board and dump the "Mean Girl" routine once and for all: it's difficult enough as it is for us all.

Why It's Impossible to Determine Tinx's Character Today By Digging In Her Past
5/3/2022
Women are steadily becoming the breadwinning powerhouses of the social media and branding landscape. For the first time in Lord knows how long, women influencers are getting the bigger brand deals. “But with great power comes great responsibility!”, they say! Cue digging 10 years into a 31-year-old’s past to unearth random thoughts of an obscure Stanford co-ed. Still just a fledgling in this great big world, Christina Najjar (aka Tinx) likely never fathomed in a million years that anyone would care what she tweeted. “Tinx is climbing dangerously high on that success scale, so let’s throw a banana peel at her feet.” This is how I imagine the scenario. “Let’s knock these women with power down a few pegs so we can better digest them.” When my 10 year Facebook statuses pop up on my memories, I absolutely CRINGE. I was always projecting my own insecurities on to others, because I didn’t understand myself yet. That is why having someone like Tinx is SO crucial for these 20-somethings: by her own admission, she’s made the mistakes so you don’t have to make them yourself. It’s a platform she and I share and, let me just say, there is no part of my 21-year-old EQ that I want to recover. Tinx has come under fire for doing the very thing she set out to do: cultivating a safe space for women to ask questions and make mistakes. I hope this mini episode resonates with you all. Xx

Culturemap food editor and podcast host Eric Sandler really knows the way to my heart - talking about food! He has come up the ranks from a blogger to really making his mark as one of the most trusted food editors in the city. Heck, the state of Texas. We talk about how food service changed during the pandy with a shift towards safety protocols and outdoor dining and how the leaders in hospitality here in Houston really stepped up to help those that were out of work or furloughed. We discuss pet peeves in dining and go into detail about Eric's take on why seemingly popular restaurants might fail. I also talk about "chef ego" and why I think it's time to move away from "uppity" dining experiences. If you are at all into the food scene, wherever you are, this is the episode for you!

"Growing Up Italian" With Sabino Curcio
2/8/2022
At some point in the last few years, you are sure to have come across Sabino Curcio's viral (and cultural) sensation called "Growing Up Italian." The platform (a podcast, YouTube Channel and various social media accounts like TikTok and Instagram) lovingly pokes fun at growing up in an Italian, first generation American household. The concept is clearly relatable to other cultures, as well, hitting the nail on the head with the majority of viewers and listeners. Sabino and I discuss the resurgence of cultural synergy amongst millenials and gen z, being raised in a strict, Catholic faith in an increasingly liberal climate, the "Nonna" phenomenon, working with family, and the inception of "Growing Up Italian" with his sister, Michela, and cousin, Rocco.
