Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
We’re back with a sustainability episode! This week, we check in about some of the small ways we’ve incorporated sustainability into our routine. Whether it’s prolonging the life of our groceries, upcycling our glass jars, or trying to use less THINGS in general, we hope our small humble habits are undoing at least a little bit of environmental harm.Of course, we’re nothing compared to the sustainability role models that our parents often are, and these are just our personal journeys with sustainability, so please feel free to reach out to us on Instagram if you have even more tips for us!!

A Glimpse into the Home Buying Process
Buying a home is quite an intimidating process. Not only will it probably be one of the most expensive purchases in your lifetime, it also has a ton of rules & steps in the procedure you may have never heard of! Since we are two novices who don’t own any property, we invited on our real estate agent friend, Andre Wang, to break down the home-buying process and share what to look for when selecting a real estate agent & mortgage lender to work with. Tune in to catch some insider tips & insight into what to expect in the journey to purchase your first home! Disclaimer: Many of the things we discussed today may not be relevant or applicable to other markets outside of the Bay Area, but we hope it’s still interesting to hear about the housing market over here in Northern California :) Follow Andre on IG! @andreshanewangCheck out Andre’s team! kimott.comFollow us on IG! @eatyourcrustpod Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Reflections on the 9-5
It's been almost 3 years since we've graduated, which means we've also been working for a similar amount of time. While the 9-5 does have its ups and downs, we're mostly grateful to be along for the ride! Today we reflect on our past few years of being a corporate slave (haha jk) and rate some of the job advice we've been given when we were students.
