Everything is the Best

Just a casual one this week! I sat down to record minutes after Carmela had an explosive diaper situation all over her room, which naturally set the tone for a very chill hour. From there I told you about how even though I never compare Carmela to anyone else, every once in a while something sneaks up on me and I cry. On the mic. As one does.

Then, because we weren’t emotional enough yet, I moved on to turning 40. Spoiler: I feel incredible about it. I’m ten toes down on who I am, proud of my life experience, my dad, my relationships, and ready to close out the first half of my life and walk into the second. And somehow it all came full circle back to the hard, beautiful job of being Carmela’s mom, and how everything I’ve lived was preparing me for her.

So, you know, light stuff. Grab a snack, a glass of wine, and maybe a tissue or twelve.

If you've ever admired someone's bathroom shelf, there's a good chance Nick Axelrod had something to do with it. Few people have shaped the way we shop for beauty and self-care quite like Nick has.
We talk about Nick's early days at WWD and Elle, where he sharpened the eye that would define his career, and starting Into The Gloss with Emily Weiss, the site that turned peeking into people's medicine cabinets into the beauty bible of a generation. From there, we get into the companies Nick has founded, including Nécessaire, the brand that convinced everyone body care deserved the same attention as their face, and Homecourt, plus what it really takes to go from writing about products to making them.
And then, the real reason Nick is here: his new brand, Contrapposto. We talk about why he's starting something new after everything he's built, what the name means to him, and what he's doing differently this time.
Plus, Nick's Bests: the things he can't stop recommending right now.

This week, I'm joined by model, lifestyle creator, author, and my beautiful friend Nara Smith for an honest conversation about motherhood, marriage, and the reality of raising four kids under six while building a career. Nara opens up about life with Lucky, navigating some incredibly difficult moments behind the scenes, and why protecting her family's privacy has become more important than ever.
We talk about raising independent children, the differences between European and American parenting, becoming a mother at a young age, and learning to tune out the noise of the internet. Plus, Nara takes us behind the scenes of creating her first cookbook, from recipe testing in Airbnbs to shooting just weeks postpartum, and shares how she actually balances it all.
This is such a special conversation about family, resilience, and the beauty of creating a life on your own terms.

Pull up a cozy chair and grab your homemade ghost, because it's officially spooky season and I have favorites. This month we're talking hydration (yes, I'm still lugging around The Hydro Jug like it's my emotional support animal), the hair duo that brought my strands back to life with K18 and Chris McMillan's clarifying shampoo, and the Neuro Gum that's getting me through the afternoon slump. I'm sharing the WTHN acupressure mat that hurts so good, the Splits pants I refuse to take off, Olive & June's nail strengthener, and getting a little deep with The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Plus, a very special bonus fave that I'm putting on literally everything: Zankou harissa. Light a candle, hit play, and let's get into it.

This week I sit down with Gucci Westman, the legendary makeup artist behind some of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood and on the runway, and the founder of Westman Atelier. Gucci spent decades shaping how we think about beauty, from red carpets to her years leading artistry at Revlon and Lancôme, before creating a luxury clean makeup line that lives in every chic woman's bag. We talk about how she got her start, what she's learned from working on faces for thirty years, why skin always comes first, and what it really takes to build a brand on your own terms. Plus, her quick tricks for looking rested when you are anything but, the products she never travels without, and how she balances creativity, business, and family. Gucci is warm, funny, and generous with her secrets, and I promise you'll walk away looking at your makeup bag differently.
