Today we have a diva among us: Quinnifer Aniston joins her mom at work! We detail our experience with another diva, Ms. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, then share a product 150 of our listeners have been testing through Gloss Angeles Confidential: SickScience’s jawline defining serum. We were skeptical, but the before and afters at the four week mark are incredible. There’s more tariff news, including a retailer who has stopped shipping to the US for the time being. Then we share why we think the outrage over the Boy Smells rebrand is counterproductive when the ethos of the brand truly hasn’t changed. Shop this episode Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
