Are We Still Toxic? W/ Francesca Farago
Left my ex bish cuz’ HE toxic…
This week Violet is joined by her beautiful bestie Francesca Farago! Together the two are tanned from their recent vacation to Mexico and ready to spill some MAJOR TEA. The girls take us on a minute by minute journey of their entire trip that is SO in-depth that you’re gonna feel like you were wasted (or on shrooms like Violet) on the beach with them.
Francesca fills us in on ALL the deets about her infamous relationship with Harry Jowsey, her relationship status, and gives us the exclusive and most recent update that you have NOT heard anywhere else.
Violet also tells us about her vacation-bae and how you truly can find love in the most hopeless places…like at a restaurant in Tulum while you’re already ten tequila shots deep. Even though he devolves into hopeless-bae and forgets she exists the very next day…but hey! It wouldn’t be a true vacation romance without some pain, right?
