Tori & Chanel are FINALLY back together after Tori's busy few weeks of traveling.

This "will-they-won't-they" drama limited series checks all the boxes - it's a friendship...

We're not sure about you, but we can definitely feel the affects of this mercury retrograde.

In this episode, Tori and Chanel debrief each of their earthquake experiences in New Jersey and New York, and reflect on the reality of the situation. In lighter news, Chanel asks Tori what her thoughts are on  Beyonce's new album "Cowboy C...

The job market is tough and unfortunately, we’re seeing companies laying off employees left and right. Just this week, we’ve seen massive layoffs across tech, media, finance, and retail industries.

Approximately 2 years ago, Chanel was part of a mass layoff, one that eliminated her position during a brand acquisition. In this episode, Chanel shares her experience of what the first 24-hours were like and what she did as immediate next ste...

Quick question: do you think that you’re able to develop skills and talents through hard work and learning or do you think that you’re born with certain skills and talents?

But what will we wear?! Yes, the girls are excited for fall; however, the change in seasons is bringing on some real feelings about their current fall wardrobe.
