Beauty Buzz List: I’ve got you covered from acne patches to sunscreen caveats.

Our “beauty IN the ‘burgh” this week is Kelly, owner/creator of Hey, Sugar Social. We know how much social media is a part of all of our lives, but there are some people that have turned your social media strategy into their career. I had such a great conversation about the ins and outs of social media management with Kelly and we also chat about beauty, too, of course!

Beauty Buzz List: No list — all interview this week, and for good reason…

Our “beauty IN the ‘burgh” this week is Alyx, Board Chair for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in Western PA. Trigger Warning: There is going to be discussions centered around suicide (nothing graphic or violent in nature), but what AFSP is doing for suicide prevention and to truly combat the taboos around mental health are the reason you need to stick around and take a listen. I wanted this chat to take center-stage so we all can get on board with how to better help those struggling around us. Thank you Alyx for what you’re doing with those in and around our area, but we do end our chat on a lighter note to nod to the self-care portion of our convo. It’s important to take time for what makes YOU happy.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline -- help is available 24 hours a day.

Beauty Buzz List: I condensed the Beauty Buzz list to make sure you get what you need this summer from your everyday products. We’re talking foundation that has skincare benefits and even a sunscreen that bronzes you with probiotics whilst protecting your skin from the harsh rays!

For this audio-only episode, Michele came back to visit the podcast studio! For OG "Life Opens Up" listeners, we were co-hosts before Michele decided to step away from the mic. We're still besties, obviously, so we came together to chat about our summer plans, bucket list ideas, and to quiz each other with some fun summer-themed questions. It's like a chaotic happy hour in the comfort of your home (or car, whatever) where the conversation goes in many directions and side tangents but somehow just feels right!

Beauty Buzz List: We’re talking acids (for your face), sandwiching your retinol, and color correcting under your makeup. You know your girl has the product line-up for you, too!

Our “beauty IN the ‘burgh” this week is Gabrielle Payne. Talk about a girlie who is a true ray of sunshine, which is perfect for our first episode in June! We chat about her job as a lifestyle blogger/influencer, the ins and outs of balancing a full-time gig and her content creations, and how to truly harness self-confidence in the world of social media. I also put her in the hot seat for some summer-fun questions. Be sure to tune in for a chat that feels best served with an aperol spritz (or an iced coffee, depending on the time of day!)

Our “beauty IN the ‘burgh” this week is Tracy. She talks about her transition from full-time teacher to stylist, pittsburgh influencer, and a mother and wife to boot. We discuss how not always having the next chapter in mind is okay and how not knowing what’s coming next should be a welcomed idea in today’s society. It’s a great conversation with some laughs thrown in, so we know you’re gonna love it.

Beauty Buzz List: A little story time about what all went down with my appendix and my hospital stay before we chat about a much more interesting topic...recapping the 2023 Met Gala. Not the most conventional "beauty" list, but hey, it's still a good time!

Our “beauty IN the ‘burgh” this week is JC Coccoli. She is a comedian on the high seas, but her roots are right here in Pittsburgh. She shares so much of her story and trajectory, from being on a reality TV in college to doing work with MTV before getting into her current career in stand-up comedy. She also discusses her work within businesses like She Thrives LLC and Steel City AF. Her story is equal parts genuine and funny, and it is one you will not want to miss. *This interview was filmed in two different segments, so video is not available in some sections to ensure optimal audio quality.
