WE BACK. Shawna joins me for Episode 5 where we planned to discuss random, fun facts about us and ended up discussing many random, fun things—as we normally do. In this episode we talk about micro-dosing, our dream jobs when we were younger, romanticizing life, how we feel about fantasy trilogies like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, one night stands, stealing clothing, weird foods we grew up with, our feelings about surface level trends, the toxic wellness community, instagram addictions and feelings, periods and orgasms and sexy toys, reminiscing on the days before we had immediate access to the internet, some thoughts on our personal style, the torture of not being able to scratch an itch, the satisfaction of picking pimples and scabs and cradle cap and cat acne and sunburns, mental illnesses (borderline personality and bipolar disorders) and medication, how you need to constantly advocate for your health, my obsession with rewriting my notes... etc, etc. It's an episode where we share some VERY dirty laundry, if you will.

Trigger warning: eating disorders, theft, and suicide are all brought up.

Sound warning: after the one hour and seventeen minute mark I start playing with gina, you can hear it in the background, and it's annoying.

Sit back and relax as I take you on PART ONE of the decade long journey of how ClosettCandyy transformed from a personal style blog to a full time styling business, amongst a sea of self criticism and questionable people. This episode features a very special guest, Miss Sabrina Eshoo (now Mrs. Caverly), who was my partner in creativity and sole photographer as I built the blog throughout our college years and beyond.

Shawna is back for episode three where she joins me for a lighthearted conversation about the profound impact music has had on our lives over the years. We get into our musical backgrounds, the many concerts we've attended, and attempt to list some of our favourite artists and songs of all time.

With moral support from my guy Derek, in this episode I get into the lighter side of what my childhood looked like, how I acted in my teenage years, and what brought me to Kingston over ten years ago. At the end of the episode I'll get into answering some fun questions from my Instagram community such as: what inspired you to start closettcandyy? How do you deal with perfectionism? How has your life has changed since starting medication? If you could fix one thing in your life... what would it be? How did you get into astrology? What inspires you? What would adult Jesse tell little Jesse? What do you think of the kingston small business community? And more...
