Mar 2600:37:36Tap to summarizeThis week, the sisters cover a lot of ground—from a surprisingly effective skincare tip you’ll want to remember, to the very real stress of figuring out what to wear to a black tie optional wedding without losing your mind (or your budget).In “What’s the Buzz,” things take a turn into the irrational (and maybe not-so-irrational) as they unpack fears around flying, bridges, gondolas, and self-driving cars—basically, all the ways modern life can quietly freak you out.Then it’s onto the main event: surviving the back half of the school year. With junior year in full swing, the conversation gets honest about burnout, pressure, and the myth that effort always equals results.
