Bad On Paper

It's just us this episode!! We’re doing a little bit of self-reflection today, talking about the differences between being in your twenties versus your thirties. Hopefully, for those of you in your twenties, we can offer a little advice. And for those of you in your thirties with us, we know you’ll relate! From the difference in how we date now, to what we thought our lives would look like in our thirties, this episode was fun to reflect on. Also in this episode, Becca is obsessed with organizing her new apartment, and Grace is obsessed with her new Veronica Beard jacket!
