Beauty rules be damned! Digital content creator and entrepreneur Chriselle Lim is here to teach us if your lotion smells good and absorbs perfectly into your skin, it doesn’t matter if it’s meant to plumpen your labia. We’re using it on our elbows and everywhere else! Plus, SuChin and Kulap break down the newly sparked conversation around the TV episode that launched Kulap’s early acting career.

Listen, if the rest of the shower routine in this episode doesn’t leave you feeling squeaky clean and ready to go, have no fear. Caissie St. Onge, co-host of the podcast Busy Phillips is Doing Her Best, is here from the future with gadgets. So, hop back in, let’s finish this shower business, and then put on your softest robe for wisdom from our future.

It’s been a rough couple of weeks, y’all. Ku and Su are here to tell you first about a few folks who are doing amazing work in their communities plus some more resources to take action. Then it’s time to let some of it slide right off, at least for a little while. Grab your towels, take off your clothes, run that water, and hop into the most detailed, revealing, slightly absurd, FIRST OF TWO episodes all about Su and Ku’s top-tier shower routine.

Kulap and SuChin have a check in before introducing a previously recorded guest interview. Lauren Lapkus joins and shares how she’s making her spice cabinet look cute AF as she incorporates new spices into her signature dish, junk. Plus, more SuChin sleep reveals, and deep dives into the best worst shows.

Feeling emotional, raw, and angry in the wake of the Atlanta shootings, SuChin and Kulap felt an urgency to share their unfiltered thoughts. Six of the 8 people that were murdered in Atlanta on March 16th were Asian women. This special episode delves into how centuries of anti-Asian rhetoric and laws, sexualization of Asian women, and white supremacy have impacted them, their families, and our society. Plus, how we can all start to educate, advocate, and activate to dismantle this harmful system.

In lieu of more exposure about how the media treats women –– #freeBritney, Allen v. Farrow, and most recently Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle –– SuChin and Kulap confront their previous relationships with tabloids and celebrity news and offer up a new way to move forward: listen to women. Plus, great makeup tips from SuChin and all the content Kulap watched before and after her recent egg retrieval.

This week SuChin is reckoning with the state of her desk (read: messy), while Kulap’s long awaited health reckoning (first mentioned in episode one) has finally arrived, Bala bangles included. Luckily, the recent listener DM’s, questions and suggestions bring all the laughs necessary to face the week’s scaries.

This week comes with a few essentials for home massage and relaxing those muscles while still in quar quar. These are SuChin and Kulap’s go-to buys to make the body feel just a little bit better. Plus, the budget buys that are used All. The. Time.

Actress, singer, and almost scientist Majandra Delfino joins Kulap and SuChin to share everything she’s added to cart to keep her hair thicc, her skin plump, and her general facade looking extremely well rested. Ku and Su of course share their favorite youthful hacks, like wearing t-shirts for girls.

We’re going to need more weighted blankets because this week sucked. There’s always been racism towards Asian Americans, but hate crimes have increased substantially, and in the last couple of weeks, there have been multiple attacks against elders. So what do we do? We call Senators, we track bills, we donate, we speak out, we raise awareness. We do this, all while self-soothing with bras that fit us, non-chemical skin peels that refresh us, scalp brushes that rejuvenate us, and all, all of the Steven Yeun we can get.
