On this episode we talk about different ways we think we can be more pulled together and chic in this next year. Spoiler, it's not just about appearances but about being kind as well. We list our not so serious resolutions which include learning to like martinis and getting in a fight in a bar (guess which one belongs with who). We also give our review on some current popular movies including Saltburn and The Iron Claw.

On this episode we do our end of the year wrap up where we recap our favorite things of 2023 including movies, books, trips, podcast episodes and guests, and so much more. We talk about Abby traveling home for the holidays and what we're looking forward to the most.

On this episode we sit down with Kat Wellington, also known as Wash Your Pillowcases on TikTok, to talk all about her recent cross-country move. We hear a few stories about how she was catfished in high school, adopting her cat, and gaining fame on social media. We then hear about her decision to leave her home state for something new, how she's made friends, and what dating is like in a new place. She's living alone so we talk about living with friends vs with a boy vs by yourself. We talk about how much fun being 25 can be and why if you're thinking of changing up your life you should go for it. If you've been contemplating trying something totally new, are in your mid 20s, or have been a fan of Kat for awhile, this one's for you!
