Hello, summertime, and hello thong bikinis! Yes, that’s right, we weigh in on Gen-Zers' rediscovering things that we Millennials already consider in style or popular, like thong bikinis. Or are we just old?

Summer also has us thinking about our long locks of hair and proper hair hydration. We spontaneously dive into our own hair issues. According to astrology, this is also meant to be the “summer of love” and let me tell you, we are already feeling the summer love vibes!

99. Creating a female golf community, Grueter Golf16 sept. 202101:15:46

Haley Hillesland and Jen Corcoran are two of the creators behind Grueter Golf. They are on a mission to get people out golfing no matter what!

We have recently gotten into golf, and have been loving it but it does come with a lot of stereotypes and some intimidation concerns so we are demystifying what it means to be a “golfer.”

This episode will leave you wanting to give golf a go if you haven’t already. We talk about what Grueter means, how they started, golf-style, what to wear, and what’s next for the GG community!
