117 - Popstickle Party Part 2: Chrissy Teigen, Cardi B, NXIVM, & Private Island Vacations

content note: We do discuss the crimes committed in the NXIVM cult as well as miscarriage in this episode.

Welcome to The Sticky Thoughts - Tales of aging twenty somethings and the things they can't let go of. Sierra & Marlees, with over a decade long of friendship between them, discuss mental health, relationships, & pop culture through their own and other's sticky thoughts - those good and bad things you just can't get out of your head!

Your fearless hosts are switching it up in this episode! They start with Squash it, where Marlees can't stop dropping things and bumping into this and she'd really needs to stop before she gets another black eye. Sierra is squashing her acne with some product recommendations and a new IUD. They celebrate Mariella's work on the front line before heading into Popstickle Grab Bag.

Sierra opens by reading Kim Kardashian's tweets and we discuss how recognizing privilege isn't enough. Marlees admits she doesn't get Birkin bags but Cardi B does and she could never decrease the value of them. Mariella shares her significant knowledge of cults when we discuss NXIVM and we all read Chrissy Tiegen's beautiful Medium piece.

In Stick It, Marlees is focusing on making her home beautiful and reminding herself that aesthetics matter. Sierra is sticking with sticking with things (and sticking things in?).
