THAT Girl's Finale

I know, this isn't the episode topic you were hoping for. But, it's one that we had to get to eventually!
In today's episode, we are... archiving this podcast. I know, it's so sudden! But, tune in to understand why. Don't be sad, be happy, because the reason for this end is to start new projects and new chapters for both of us -- you and me. There are about 850,000 current active podcasts on the market at the moment, and I know at least one of them will be as helpful and fun, if not more. I am so proud of what we've accomplished together, thank you for everything. Until next time my besties. I can't wait to hear how you change the world.
Kindly,
Shahdin

THAT Girl's Trying to Remain Optimistic

THAT Girl's Trying to Remain Optimistic

We get it... Life is hard. Life is... brutal. Antagonistic. Uncertain. Scary. Lonely. But, then there are times where life is absolutely wonderful! However, sometimes we get stuck in such difficult periods of life that we forget how warm the sun can be once the rain clouds part. If you have ever felt like, or currently feel like you're starting to forget how magnificent the sun can shine, grab a cup of coffee or tea with a cookie and tune in for some advice on how to enjoy life regardless of the weather, and how to remain hopeful that the sun will shine again. 

Also, sorry if the episode is chaotic. We're doing a raw and unfiltered episode today guys, hope you enjoy! Love you :)

THAT Girl's Skincare Routine - Pt. 1: The Science

So you’re telling me that you drink 8 cups of water a day, you eat a well-balanced diet, you practice stress management techniques, you’re an active gal, you follow a gentle and high quality skincare regime consistently, and you’re STILL struggling with acne? Yeah that makes sense! Don’t fret, in today’s episode we’re talking all about the science behind your skin - what is skincare, the different skin types, different forms and causes of acne, common skin conditions, and more. So, if you’re someone that takes their skin seriously, has questions on why their skin is doing something you don’t know what the hell it’s doing, or wants to start a healthy skincare journey but don’t know where to start, well honey you came to the RIGHT place. Sit back, relax, and get ready to learn some terminology that’ll make ya skin crawl

THAT Girl's Morning Routine

THAT Girl's Morning Routine

Okay so I woke up, fixed my bed, applied my skincare, had my oat milk lavender latte, cleaned the kitchen, swept the driveway, listened to 29 TED Talks, hiked the Great Wall of China, found a cure to cancer, meditated so hard I opened my third, fourth, AND fifth eye, wrote 90762 things I'm grateful for in my devotions journal, and ate breakfast all before 9 am. Am I THAT Girl yet? 

No. You forgot to floss.

Tune in to today's episode to get some realistic ideas to spice up your morning routine, as well as figure out how to stay consistent in your morning routine! Oh, and your dentist told me to remind you to floss. 

Yeah I know this is mad late but ya know what? I'm sorry I hope you still love me a little bit.
