A Thing or Two We’re Doing Besides Finding Gems in the Junk Drawer
We fell short this week on the podcast: We taste-tested snacks and dove into Claire’s new go-to beauty products but somehow failed to merge the two in a discussion of hair masks you can eat. Next time. Until then, if you’re looking for more from us, might we recommend signing up for Secret Menu? This month’s new subscriber dollars go to the National Network of Abortion Funds and the org’s work tackling financial and logistical barriers to abortion access. And in this week’s installment of Secret Menu, we’re talking about camp food, Barbra Streisand, the clothes we keep forever, and compost bins. You must be curious, right?
