This week, Kate finds a pretty amazing lip color dupe (though the product’s name is pretty barf-worthy) and Doree gets a journal that just might meet all of her planning needs. Then, the women discuss gratitude and the best ways to make it a regular practice in their lives.

Later, the women talk to the lovely Helen Rosner, food correspondent at the New Yorker. Helen shares a tarragon soda with Kate and Doree and goes into her spa anxieties, love of dogs, and tells us all why we should start growing corn. You can follow her @hels on Twitter.

In this mini-episode, Kate and Doree hear about a listener's experience with OCD and anxiety, give advice on the best way to travel with your skincare routine, and talk about the best snack setup for a party. Then, the women find out how one listener accidentally recruited new Forever35 fans in the middle of an important work meeting.

It's the return of High/Low! Kate compares mascaras and Doree gets to the bottom of the great virgin marula oil conspiracy (note: there might not actually be a conspiracy, but there's a really expensive one and a really cheap one). Then they talk to Anya Yurchyshyn, author of the brand-new memoir My Dead Parents, all about her makeup obsession and her tips and tricks for getting the most out of your makeup. Many, many product recommendations below!

Kate and Doree discuss the struggle that is meal planning and cooking for your family, and talk about strategies to cope. (Be sure to check out Kate's separate post about meal planning!) Kate has a new philosophy for cooking for her two kids, which is to keep things as simple as possible, involving her kids in meal prep, and serving food family-style. Then they get YA author Jenny Han (The Summer I Turned Pretty series, the To All the Boys I've Loved Before trilogy) to share her chocolate chip cookie secrets and how to make the perfect scrambled eggs, as well as her skincare regimen and her favorite lipsticks.

It’s the first Forever35 mini-episode! On these weekly half-hour eps, Kate and Doree will be responding to listener questions and doing short product reviews. This week, they talk about their workout habits, and give advice to a woman who wants to develop a very simple skincare routine.
