Listen "314. Is Social Media Making Us Want More Cosmetic Procedures?"
Episode Synopsis
From nose jobs to fox-eye lifts, cosmetic procedures have never felt more accessible—or more tempting. Thanks to social media, we’re no longer just seeing the before and afters. We're watching it all unfold: pre-op consults, the surgery chair, the bruises, the swelling, the recovery. But is this behind-the-scenes access empowering, or is it just another kind of beauty pressure dressed up as transparency? We get into it in this week's Uncensored episode. Plus, we help a listener build the ultimate $100 barrier repair cart for dehydrated, acne-prone skin—affordable and effective picks only. And finally, Hannah confesses to dropping $140 on a very bougie bin (yes, a bin), and shares the other fancy things she’s picked up for her new home. Meanwhile, Mel makes a surprising case for her current home obsession... a poo stool.
