Read excerpt

We had to fight for our lives for thong underwear from Victoria’s Secret … and for WHAT? Awfully uncomfortable, those V-Strings. Amrutha’s a professor now! Can we go back to college? We promise we’ll show up to class. Sheila tells all about her experience with IVF. We’re so glad this conversation is resonating with you, and if you’ve got thoughts, we’d love to hear th

ABOUT US: Welcome, friends new and old! Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. Our origin story. Our walk out songs, what we dance to when no one’s watching, and what made us move and groove in our youth. Wild nights in Washington, DC.

We’re back! Amrutha went to Turkey and came back smitten. The caves. The beaches. The hot air balloons! Sheila thought she knew Cabo but then she went to Las Ventanas al Paraíso and … 🤯 From the villa to the food to the wine to the SPEAKEASY, it’s another level. Why don’t Hindu vegetarians like mushrooms? We have some theories. (We’d love to hear yours.) The “hack” of people washing their underwear and socks in hotel room kettles and Keurig machines has us utterly horrified. We’re gonna need a g
