164: This weeks episode is a little different. I was recently asked to speak at a retreat in Denver, Colorado for Clearstem Skincare.

I also just gave some of my life hacks on how to decipher what you should put in your cart and what you should put back on the shelf. Special thank you to Clearstem for having me!
