Two Bees In A Pod

A body can tell the truth long before a chart does. We open up about years of “it’s just your back” verdicts, ER visits, and scans that never explained pain so intense it stopped life in its tracks. The turning point arrived with a clinician who listened, connected the dots between recurrent cysts and hidden endometriosis, and recommended the only test that really answers the question: surgery. What they found mapped perfectly to the pain—lesions across both pelvic walls and the perirectal area, effectively surrounding the waist and provoking those brutal back spa...

We crack open the vault of DMs and dating profiles that made us laugh, gag, and set firmer boundaries. From the one-word “smash” to an unsolicited lecture on makeup, from corny poetry to outright fetish requests, we map the messy middle of modern dating and talk about the signals you should never ignore. We’re on Facebook Dating and Hinge for this one, and the receipts are unfiltered.

We get into why certain openers are more than cheesy—they’re pressure tests for intimacy and compliance. Love-bombing that jumps to “marry me,” gasligh...

Pain that steals your breath, doctors who say “it’s just your back,” and the moment a surgeon finally proves you right—this is a story about being dismissed, demanding better, and getting answers. We open up about years of flare-ups that shut down workdays, ER trips that ended with ibuprofen, and specialists who chalked up patterns as coincidence. Then we walk through the turning point: a second opinion that actually listened, a smarter theory about cysts triggering endometriosis, and a surgery that confirmed what intuition knew all along.

We go deeper t...

Ever had someone cancel 15 minutes before because “it’s raining,” or show up mid-cough insisting they’re fine? We pull back the curtain on the messy side of beauty services—late cancels, illness excuses, weather panic, and the all-too-common “I’ll Venmo later”—and share the exact boundaries and scripts that keep a small business sane. This is a raw, honest look at what happens when relationship-based work collides with real-life expectations.

We walk through health-first policies for flu season and COVID exposure, including when to reschedule, when to refuse service, and how to communi...

What if your morning routine took eight minutes and actually lasted through a full day? We open with a simple, wearable step-by-step—skin tint, pinpoint concealer, believable blush, soft brows, and the kind of setting strategy that keeps makeup from separating. Then we stack a night look on top of it without starting from scratch, using smart bronzer placement and a matte palette that turns “smoky” into smooth, not muddy.

From there, the conversation widens. We get honest about lash extensions and alopecia—what adhesives can and can’t safely do—and why stri...

Ever wondered what your waxer actually thinks when you walk in nervous, unprepped, or full of questions? We open the studio door and let you sit in on a no-filter Q&A about first-time Brazilian anxiety, real prep that makes a difference, and the exact products that help with ingrowns, discoloration, and smoother regrowth. It’s honest, funny, and wildly useful—because good information beats fear, and a great wax starts before you arrive.

We break down a simple prep plan: shower ahead, exfoliate the day before to remove “glue-like” dead skin, ke...

A great first date can trick you into thinking you’ve finally found normal. Then the switch flips: future talk by day two, strict rules about sex, and demands to cut off “other men” you don’t even have. We walk you through the arc from charming to controlling, how love bombing works in real life, and why flashy promises—hello, dishwasher and pool offers—often hide insecurity rather than genuine commitment.

We share the beats that matter: genuine conversation that turns into pressure, generosity that comes with invisible strings, and the silent t...

The night started with a toast and ended with a plot twist no one asked for. We’re pulling back the curtain on a situationship with a firefighter who was magnetic in person, fuzzy in the morning, and combustible when confronted. From early chemistry and constant FaceTimes to breadcrumb texts and confused silences, we trace how something casual got complicated—and why confusion is the first red flag to believe.

You’ll hear the full arc: the public “I love you” at a crowded bar, the promise of “I’ll marry you if you giv...

Ever had a first date jump straight to “hotel room”? We start there, then dive headlong into the stories people only tell behind closed doors—where beauty appointments turn into confessionals and ordinary lives crack open to reveal secret worlds. It’s messy, hilarious, and surprisingly tender.

We share the tale of a Plain Jane librarian who finds herself at a fetish club, covered in candle wax and, unexpectedly, in new self-confidence. Nonjudgment and consent reshape her life, right down to her wardrobe and her marriage. Then the tone shifts: a client’s...

Ever sat in a salon chair and wondered what your beauty pros are really thinking? We open the door to the treatment room and talk candidly about client etiquette, realistic expectations, and the surprising ways small choices shape big results. From waxing jokes that have overstayed their welcome to the myth of “dirty hair is better,” we break down what actually helps: clean, dry skin; smart wardrobe choices; and listening to tailored advice instead of viral trends.

We tell stories from the wax table and the makeup chair—some hilarious, some cringe...

Beauty can be glossy on the surface and unhinged underneath. We pull back the curtain on the salon floor and the strip club dressing room, sharing the stories that shaped our craft and our coping skills: a client plotting pregnancy to “teach a lesson,” a boyfriend delivering armfuls of roses to a Brazilian appointment, and a dancer convinced her ancestry test rewrote her foundation shade. It’s raw, awkward, and hilarious—and it’s also a masterclass in boundaries, hygiene, and emotional triage.

Nicole brings 17 years of waxing wisdom, the kind that comes...
