We’re diving into the latest TikTok trend causing a stir: ‘Naval Pulling.’ People are pouring castor oil into their belly buttons to reduce bloating, inspired by Ayurvedic medicine. But does it really work?

Cringey Convo: Beauty Myths We Believed Growing Up.

From putting lemon juice in your hair for “sun-kissed highlights” to using toothpaste on pimples, we’re walking down memory lane with beauty myths that shaped (and sometimes scarred) our younger selves.

The Great Gut Cleanse Debate Ft. Dr Lucinda

Coffee enemas, colonics, and detox cleanses—are they the key to better gut health or just another wellness fad? Our resident GP, Dr. Lucinda, joins us to unpack the facts. We discuss why gut health is trending, whether cleanses are necessary, and the risks of TikTok-inspired practices. Plus, Dr Lucinda shares practical tips for sustainable gut health that don’t involve your morning brew in places it shouldn’t be.

Beauty IQ Uncensored

In this episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, we dive into the weird and wonderful world of beauty and wellness trends taking over TikTok. From the belly button oiling craze—claiming to de-bloat with castor oil—to the curious rise of coffee enemas, we unpack the myths, the science (or lack thereof), and whether these hacks are worth trying. Plus, we revisit the beauty myths we believed growing up (anyone else put lemon juice in their hair?) and get expert gut health advice from our resident GP, Dr. Lucinda. Finally, we test our partners’ beauty knowledge in a hilarious game of beauty trivia.

Khloe Kardashian is celebrating her 40th with the launch of her debut fragrance, XO Khloé, and teasing an exciting podcast project in a ~spicy~ Bustle cover story. Fabulous at 40? Without a doubt.

Cringey Convo: How Often Are We Actually Washing Our Bras?

Attention, bra-wearers: How often should you really be washing your bras? You might be surprised by the answer. Is there a difference between washing your t-shirt bras versus delicate lace ones? And do smaller busts get away with washing less? We dive into this age-old debate.

Is "Lip Blush" Tattoo The New Filler? We Asked an Expert

Lip Blush is having a moment in the (social media) sun, offering vibrant colour, definition, and fuller lips—without constant touch-ups. But how does it stack up against lip fillers?
