Jenn and Natasha often talk about their great finds whether it be make-up, clothes, kitchen gadgets and, of course, the wine.  They did their research again and mined obvious and not so obvious brands. They also offer a brief history lesson - when did we all start caring about environmentalism? Who were the founding folks that gave us the platform we have today? They also discuss 10 brands that are acting in mindful ways and taking accountability when it comes to the environment, inclusivity, giving back and fair wages. While they love a cheap find, they hold in high regard (and have no problem spending more) when brands are not tone deaf to what is going on in the world and act responsibly. Some brands may surprise you and all will inspire you! WINES OF THE WEEK -  2020 LJ Creafted Albarino Steward Vineyard 2019 Raeburn Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) - Jenn loved this white!

Comfy Quarantine Style with Guest Alyssa Pietrosanto: Episode 29

Noom

Are you struggling to lose weight, and just can't seem to make headway? Us too. So, after a friend of Jenn's inspired her to try Noom, after her own success, Jenn had to talk Natasha into the ride as well. And here we are, 5 and 7 weeks into it, with stories to tell! It's so frustrating to not be able to feel comfortable in your own clothes, and we were over it. Join us as we share what Noom is all about (Jenn ignored their advertisements for YEARS, regrettably!), and why it might just be the right fit for you, too!
