If brows have ever been a pain point for you — whether you over-tweezed in the nineties, lost hair through hormones or health changes, or just spend way too much time filling them in every morning — this episode is going to feel like a gift.

Shauna Nasri, founder of Nasri Aesthetics in Orange County and a cosmetic tattoo artist specializing in natural, soft brow enhancements, joins Monina and Velia for a full breakdown of the permanent brow world. She explains techniques, how she matches the method to your skin type, what the process actually looks like, and why her most rewarding client moments involve the words "I feel like myself again."

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Shauna's origin story — from childhood sketching to founding Nasri Aesthetics six years ago
• The four main permanent brow techniques: microblading, nano brows, powder brows, and hybrid
• Why skin type is the most important factor when choosing a technique (oily skin + microblading = a problem)
• How brow shape is mapped using facial structure — the nose bulb method, arch placement, and tail length
• What to expect during your first appointment and the one-to-two-week aftercare window
• Pain level: lidocaine before + during, and why most clients rate it a 2 out of 10
• What it means to "feel like myself again". Shauna's most emotional client stories
• The aging conversation: why brows and hair are the two things that most change how women see themselves in the mirror

What does it actually mean to age well — and is it possible to reverse the damage? Dr. Josh Donaldson, naturopathic physician and founder of Longevity Medical Institute, joins Monina and Velia to break down some of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) therapies in regenerative and anti-aging medicine.

From how PRP is made and injected, to why the "vampire facial" works, to real cases where stem cells helped patients given months to live — this episode is packed with information that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about healing and aging.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Dr. Josh's unlikely path from architecture school to naturopathic medicine after a traumatic rope swing injury
• The chronic conditions he treats — from pain and hormones to autoimmune and cancer support
• Ozone therapy — what it is, how it oxygenates the blood, and why it's used for everything from COVID to athletic performance
• PRP (platelet rich plasma) — the full step-by-step process from blood draw to injection
• Why connective tissue doesn't heal the way skin and bone do — and how PRP changes that
• The vampire facial — microneedling + PRP injections to tighten, tone, and rejuvenate skin
• PRP for hair restoration — once a month for three months, then good for 1–2 years
• Allogeneic stem cells — where they come from, how they're screened, and what Dr. Josh has seen them do
• Exosomes — the nanoparticles that cross the blood-brain barrier for neurological repair
• Red light therapy + Retatrutide (a GLP-1 peptide) for fat mobilization and weight loss
• NAD, glutathione, methylene blue, CoQ10 — the mitochondrial support lineup

Hair Loss + Confidence: Real Talk, Causes, and Treatments (Episode 22 Follow-Up).
Hair loss is emotional—and it’s more common than we think. We dig into why it hits identity and confidence, the non-genetic causes (hormone shifts, telogen effluvium from stress/illness/meds, nutrient gaps, traction, autoimmune), and realistic treatments (Minoxidil topical vs pill, Spironolactone, PRP, dermatologist injections for alopecia areata, and when transplants make sense). We also share holistic support (scalp massage, rosemary/castor oil used the right way, derma stamping) and simple daily habits to protect what you have now—without spiraling.

Ever feel totally lost in the hairspray aisle? You're not alone — and Monina didn't even know the answers to these listener questions before hitting record! In this fun and surprisingly educational Q&A, host Velia answers three of your most-asked hair questions in under 30 minutes.

She breaks down every type of hairspray from lightest to strongest hold (yes, the number system is real), explains what scalp conditions a stylist legally can't work with, and finally demystifies the rinse-out conditioner vs. leave-in conditioner vs. hair mask situation that has everyone confused.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The number system on hairsprays — what 14 vs. 32 actually means
• Thermal spray: what it is & why it goes on DRY hair, not wet
• Why finishing spray is "you better be committed" hold
• Lice, ringworm & fungal infections — the conditions that send clients home• Psoriasis, eczema & dandruff — totally fine to work with (as long as it's not inflamed)
• Rinse-out conditioner = pH balancer & cuticle smoother (it's your hair's toner!)
• Leave-in conditioner = moisture lock, UV protection, and a non-negotiable• Hair mask = intense structural repair — and you skip the conditioner when you use one
• The pro trick for applying spray leave-in without overdoing it

In this episode of The Beauty Lab Podcast, host Velia and co-host Monina break down the most important makeup shift of 2026: Blurred Beauty. Gone are the days of sharp contour lines, heavy lip liners, and the ultra-minimal Clean Girl look. What's taking over is something softer, smarter, and honestly — more flattering for real life.

Monina walks us through everything from blush placement (yes, it's moved up!) to how to use one product on your eyes, cheeks, and lips for a unified, glowing look. This trend isn't just for the TikTok crowd — it's especially brilliant for busy professional women and anyone with mature skin who wants to look polished without feeling "made up."

What We Cover:

• The definition of blurred beauty and how it differs from the Clean Girl trend
• Why makeup artists on runways and in editorials are shifting to softer textures
• The new blush placement that replaces contouring (and actually looks more natural)
• How to use one product — blush, bronzer, highlight — across your entire face
• Why this trend photographs beautifully and helps soften fine lines
• Skin prep tips for mature skin before trying any new trend
• Cream vs. powder textures: which to use and how to combine them
• The "bare lips" blush color test Monina swears by
• Quick application tutorial: three dots, blend up and out

This week on The Beauty Lab, we're diving into a topic that doesn't get nearly enough airtime — chiropractic care during pregnancy.

Velia and Monina are joined by Dr. Kimia Shakerpoor, a board-certified chiropractor at In Health Clinic in San Jose, CA. Dr. Kimia specializes in working with pregnant women and active athletes, and she is here to bust the myth that pregnancy discomfort is something you just have to endure.

From lightning crotch (yes, that's a real term and yes, there's something you can do about it) to breach baby positioning, low back pain, and SI joint dysfunction — Dr. Kimia walks us through how chiropractic care addresses the full spectrum of pregnancy symptoms in a way that's safe, gentle, and effective.

WHAT WE COVER:

• Why chiropractic is one of the safest treatment options available during pregnancy
• The Webster Technique: how it works, who it helps, and why it matters for breach positioning
• Lightning crotch — what it actually is (pubic symphysis dysfunction), why it happens, and how to treat it
• The difference between what's "common" and what's "normal" during pregnancy
• When to start chiropractic care: preconception vs. second trimester vs. third trimester
• What to expect at your first prenatal chiropractic appointment
• Conditions that may require modification or collaboration with your OB/midwife
• How preventative chiropractic care helps athletes avoid injury — pregnant or not
• Resources for active pregnant women navigating fitness during pregnancy
