Description

This episode is brought to you by Girl, the new fragrance by Rochas for a generation that nurtures and prioritises their wellbeing. Girl contains 90% natural-origin ingredients, and an eco-designed bottle made from 40% recycled glass. Shop Rochas Girl at David Jones or The Iconic. In this week's episode, we cover the return of VidCon 2022 after being on hiatus for two years due to the pandemic. The event, which used to be the keystone event for YouTube creators, has pivoted towards TikTok creators – in line with TikTok being the new headline sponsor of the event.
