I Feel Pretty (Sweaty)! | Episode 09

This is our “beauty episode” where we talk about the evolution of our style throughout the years—starting all the way back in the awkward days when we first tried our hand at beauty products. We discussed how to stay true to your style and "feel like you" when moving to a new country, as well as how sweating really dampens our motivation to put on makeup. And since you asked (or even if you didn't), we put on our influencer hats and wrapped it all up by sharing which products and beauty tips are working for us right now.
