Claire tries lip filler, Kristen can’t figure out how to travel without stress, and we chat with author David Essel about how only focusing on the positive things in life can actually lead to negative things, and how leaning into our struggles can be a path to healing.

In this epsiode we also talked about:

  • The skincare fridge
  • Primally Pure Non-Toxic Skin Care Products‎ (use the promo code selfieclaire for a discount!)
  • Island Citrus Artisan Soap from SoapCreek
  • I.C.O.N. India Hair Oil
  • Positive Thinking Will Never Change Your Life But This Book Will
