Episode 18: Broken Bones + Other Dumb Accidents
2 Dumb Belles
Three words: Piggly Ding Dong. Listen to the episode to understand. Also - broken bones, sprains, and other injuries! How many surgeries have we had?!? How many things have we broken? How did we not spiral during our injuries, and what did we do to stay active during recovery? Did we rest like we were supposed to? It's the hardest thing to do (that, and healthfully asking for help). Also: Kate and Lindsay will be joining the Great Midwestern Pilgrimage to warmer climates during Spring Break, so we'll miss you the week of April 7th! We'll see you again the week of April 14th. Thank...

Episode 15 - Hormone Replacement Therapy
2 Dumb Belles
It's a one-woman show today! Kate has been traveling for work, and has selfishly left me all by myself, so I'm telling all about how I recently (just in the past few weeks) started hormone replacement therapy and it has literally CHANGED MY LIFE. I am NOT saying that you should do this if you're having perimenopause symptoms; everyone is different and for some of you, the risks may not outweigh the benefits, and you might choose to manage your symptoms in a much different way than I've chosen. But I wanted to share my story because I didn't realize that this type of thing could result in such...

Episode 13: Cleaning and Death
2 Dumb Belles
Hi there Dumb Belles! How clean is your home? There's a lot of discussion about "toxic" ingredients in our environment: candles, plug-ins, detergents, fabric softeners, and more. How can you make your home more "green?" We're discussing ways that we're improving our environment and trying our best to not poison our families and all of our visitors. Which leads us to...dying! All these toxic household ingredients will kill us in the end, but maybe we can find ways to put the FUN in a FUNeral! Special shout out to Beans Candle Company and The Soap Factory at HTC (both of which use...

2 Dumb Belles
Hey there Dumb Belles! Today we're talking about all things Valentine's (well, GAL-entine's) Day! We're also discussing ways to keep our heads above water when it's COLD AND DARK AND BLAH in the great Midwest in February. Gross. We just want to be warm and see some sunshine!

Episode 11: We're In Our IDGAF Era
2 Dumb Belles
Hey dumbbelles! We feel like we've entered our "I don't give a %&#" era. Life is WAY TOO SHORT to care what people think, what they say, or what their opinion is. It's taken us both a long time to get to the place where we're unbothered by others. If you listen to the Mel Robbins podcast (she's amazing, by the way, you should really listen), she speaks about something she calls the "let them" theory. And we're here for it! :) Thank you for listening and as always, we'd love it if you would like and share our podcast with friends and family. You can find us on iHeart, Spotify, and Apple...

Join us this week as we talk about some of our favorite skincare products to help the cause, as well as dietary choices we make that can benefit our skin and manage our body's inflammatory response. We also discuss exciting topics including: bloating, GI issues, wine, caffeine, sodas, highly processed foods, and how we don't know each other's middle name (we do now).
