What are officially the happiest and least happy decades of our lives, and why is that whole question a crock? We discuss with a sprinkle of advice from the guru herself... Jennifer Aniston.

Plus, recommendations for your weekend and beyond, including the book that might finally change Holly's life. Em Vernem has something to help you do your hair, and Mia’s got a whole list for you. Brace yourselves. 

And, a Gwyneth update, a workplace dilemma, and the time a creepy crawly rudely ruined a daily ritual—we wrap up the week with best and worst.
