If you're a makeup or skincare lover, you may claim to know absolutely everything when it comes to that, especially what to buy, how to apply it and what works and doesn't work for your skin tone (I sure don't). But do you ever question the actual scientific components that make up our beloved products and why it works for us? I guess you don't know everything after all... In this episode, Niba and I chat all about skincare and beauty (alongside a multitude of cool science stuff like plants, plants and more PLANTS!), specifically within the South Asian community through a science-based lens. But alas, we cannot speak on South Asian communities or individuals with melanin and from the South Asian diaspora, without unpacking the cultural history and social ideologies pertaining to that of colonialism and the glorification of beauty standards.. on a surface level, nonetheless. I hope this episode not only fulfills you with knowledge and facts, but a few beauty secrets and hacks! Thank you for listening and tuning in x
*Note: Audio is delayed, hence why I answer before you can hear Niba answer. I'm not rude.. I promise!!
In today's episode, I chat with the nature-driven Miranda, an Environmental Educator, where we discuss her inspiring work in environmental and conservation studies and her journey in getting to where she is now, which includes exciting information on the different type of ants (who knew?).

In today's episode, Chris and I chat about the bold move and reality of quitting your 9-5 job to pursue the things you're passionate about. In this case, Chris wants to pursue more creative endeavours and feels he cannot do so by working a 9-5 that does not fulfill him. We chat about the nitty gritty of how to go about taking the next step, when the right time is for you and the importance in weighing the pros and cons and having a plan afterwards!
