Ella James & Katelin Greggpodcasters.spotify.com
Until now, the world of cosmetic procedures has been somewhat taboo. Today, with the increasing prevalence in pop culture and nearly every beauty icon of our generation partaking in minor and sometimes major cosmetic enhancements, we want to create a platform on which we can have a conversation with fellow Milennials - to take an informed view and set more realistic expectations for us all. PLEASE NOTE: We do not endorse, nor condemn cosmetic procedures - this is purely an informational podcast.
