This week, Mandi shows up looking like she tried to snog a paprika, but don’t worry – it’s just her lip blush healing. We talk all about this semi-permanent beauty trick that’s giving “I woke up like this” energy (after a few days of “I woke up like a tomato”).
Meanwhile, Anna shares the outrageous tale of how her Miami dreams were crushed thanks to a rejected visa (spoiler: being Iranian shouldn’t be a crime, but apparently…). Grab the popcorn – it’s bureaucracy vs. bikinis.
Then it’s time to get messy with “Am I in a Situations...

Spoiler: she’s not having it.
