Description

This week we explore whether self-care is a marketing ploy by brands or whether people are seeing true benefits to these practices. We weigh up how the concept has evolved during a global pandemic and whether social media is helping the cause, or making people more anxious. Has wellness actually become a competition? And if it has, what's the prize?  Recaps: Jeffree Star "Cremated Collection" drama & his response. "Call Her Daddy" podcast drama. "The Half Of It" movie on Netflix.
