“I thought I was a feminist before. You can’t tell me sh*t about women now. We bring whole entire lives into this world” my guest Julee Wilson on the experience of childbirth. Join Julee, Global Beauty Director of Essence, and I on this leftover’s edition of Naked Beauty as we talk about her experience of being a Mother. It’s something I feel we don’t talk about enough so I had so many questions and Julee answered them all. We talk:Going from life as an athlete to being a Mom. Julee’s experience with first trimester morning sickness, the energy she gained in the second trimester and what it’s like to grow a human being inside of you. A cup size increase can be expected but also, your feet may swell (who knew?)Her husband being in the room during labor, the ‘husband stitch’, lactating & how she makes time for herself as a busy working MomEnjoy, thanks for all the support and subscribe to the show if you’re not subscribed & take the time to rate the show if you love it! Links To Resources Mentioned:Listen to my original interview with Julee Wilson, (a Naked Beauty Fave) and her work as Beauty Director of Essence Listen here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/naked-beauty/id1131628553?i=1000451741853Or here https://open.spotify.com/episode/7Kx3XTeC5jnyjBOEnqslET?si=xV0Fon9GSTiiJt_7BQd-oAListen to the episode with A-Lan Holt on Natural Childbirth here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-naked-beauty-podcast/id1131628553?mt=2#episodeGuid=9e48b232-765e-44da-95df-7be9cedf4414 Hosted on Acast.

Lesley Thornton’s dedication to beauty is truly next level. As a young girl, she was obsessed with making mud masks in her grandmother’s garden, checking out beauty products in LA’s Koreatown, and doing her girlfriends’ makeup for prom. For Thornton, beauty has always been, and continues to be about being both mindful and creative. And so, after working as a beauty director at Estée Lauder, and an on-air beauty expert for TLC, she decided to step out on her own. From there, Klur- a clean, ethical, and inclusive brand- was born. On this episode, I took the time to ask Lesley about ALL of her insider hacks. From makeup application to acne treatments, we’ve got the best tips and tricks for beauty, and I can’t wait for you to hear them! Links to Products/Resources Mentioned:DIY Sugar Body Scrub, Klur Skin Soil, MAC Face & Body Foundation, Caudalie Grape Water Mist, Laura Mercier Setting Powder, Klur Gentle Matter, Klur Elements of Comfort, Klur Stellar RestorationJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple  Thanks for all the love and support.

A creative career felt pretty inevitable for Satchel. As the daughter of producer Tonya Lewis Lee and director Spike Lee, Satchel has always had a great appreciation for storytelling but she's already carving out a distinct voice of her own. And growing up in New York, there were always plenty of stories to tell. In high school, Satchel first found her creative community in an affinity group for queer kids called “The Network.” Then, as a film student at NYU, she went on to establish a black artist collective known as “Chromatic.” Today, Lee has teamed up with childhood friend Caroline D’Arcy Gorman to establish DRØME, a magazine “for those who dare”. With exclusive interviews from artists like Billie Eilish, Amandla Stenberg, and Ashton Sanders, DRØME is well on it’s way to becoming THE alternative magazine for Gen-Z. On this episode of Naked Beauty, Satchel and I talk beauty politics, intersectional feminism, dating apps, and so much more!Links to Products/Resources Mentioned:Naturopathica Manuka Cleansing Balm, DE Slaai Cleansing Balm, Microfiber Towels, Alpyne Beauty Cleanser, Thayer’s Witch Hazel Pads, Fenty Concealer, Glossier Concealer, MAC Bronzer, Glossier Cloud Paint, Maguette African Hair Braiding, Easy (S2E7- Lady Cha Cha), Glossier Boy Brow, Shiffa Jade Roller, Banana Skirt Fitness, Santal 33 Body Lotion, L’Occitane Shea Butter Body Cream, Glossier Balm DotcomJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Rate,...

Mandii B, co-host of the Whorible Decisions podcast, is anything but predictable. Growing up, she was the girl who could shoot hoops, dress up, and kill it in her AP classes. By the time she was 18, she had entered the world of urban modelling, which began a long and ongoing journey to not just accepting her body but truly celebrating it. Mandii and I talk about how she’s coping with all of her recent success (and anxiety), being over-sexualized at a young age, her relationships and tapping into confidence, growing up mixed race, her VSG weight-loss surgery, baby hairs, half-wigs, fragrance & so much more. This is an episode you won’t forget anytime soon and please note the discussion is NSFW so enjoy this with earbuds in!  ---Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Tag me while you’re listening @nakedbeautyplanet & as always love to hear your thoughts :) Follow Mandii: @fullcourtpumps and @whoreible_decisionsStay in touch with me: @brookedevard Links to Products/Resources Mentioned:FACE: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, It Cosmetics CC+ Cream, Fenty Lipgloss, Clean & Clear Grapefruit Cleanser, Clean & Clean Moisturizer, Kiehl’s MoisturizerFRAGRANCE: Bond NYC, Gucci Flora, YSL Black Opium, Margiela Replica Jazz Club, Chanel Chance Hosted on Acast.

“Cosmetics should be a choice not a necessity.” - my guest Dr. Chaneve Jeanniton, a firm believer in putting your skin first. For Dr. Chaneve Jeanniton, taking care of people’s skin and face is a passion - one that’s manifested in the creation of her skincare line: Epi.Logic and her career as a board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon. She quickly fell in love with the idea of “working with clients to rejuvenate and refine their appearance, while staying true to their natural character”– an ethos she stands by at her practice Brooklyn Face & Eye.

For the 100th episode of Naked Beauty, I decided to look back and share a compilation of answers to my favorite question: When do you feel most beautiful?. From glamming it up to sweating it out, from meditating to having a good, long cry, my guests have taught me one thing: beauty is deeply personal. As we head into a new decade, I would love if you Naked Beauty listeners, could take the time to ask yourself this question and to share your answers with me in 2020. So please, sit back tune in, and reflect.  --Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.

On this week’s episode of Naked Beauty, BET’s Style Director Danielle Prescod is back for a deeply personal and honest conversation about body image, IVF treatment, mental health, and finding what makes you happy. With a career in fashion and beauty editorial, Prescod’s life has often been filled with black tie events and fabulous launch parties.
