Is Being Negative Helpful?
Something rather strange happened online for me the other day. I spoke negatively about a beauty product. I didn’t name the brand just showed the product and said how displeasing it was to see medical professionals recommending it when they should know better. I thought I was about to come in for a lot of criticism for ‘starting’ but, as it turned out, the response was quite unexpected. I’d be curious to know what you think and whether it’s more helpful sometimes to have a trusted voice say ‘save your money’?Also, in this episode, products that are genuinely worth your time and attention from Superdrug. I’m their beauty editor so I’m lucky enough to be able to trawl their shelves at will and I’ve spotted some absolutely mega products that I have only positive comments about.Please do start/join the chat in the comments here.EmsHey!

This isn’t goodbye, but it is the end of a chapter.

The Manosphere and Looksmaxxing
This weekend was all about the Manosphere after I watched Louis Theroux's documentary Inside the Manosphere and read Jack Burke's piece in The Times on Looksmaxxing. Both of these phenomena focus on male-dominated online spaces that veer to the far right with extreme misogynistic and anti-feminist sentiments. They are two pieces of media that really made me think and I've unpicked, in part, why in my latest Substack, which you can subscribe to and read here.I would absolutely love to know what you think - please do go to the comments section and share your thoughts.Hey!

This is What's Wrong with the Beauty Industry...
If you subscribe to my Substack (I love you!) then you would have seen my column about how wellness messaging on products has, in my opinion, gone too far. We are all entitled to create a spa-like experience in our own home but it's my belief that brands latching the benefits of their products onto you taking a moment to yourself is really quite disingenuous. In this episode, I explain why it got me so riled and why we should expect better of brands.If you've been here a while then you'll know I am often vague when making a point about something contentious. I don't name names and I'm not interested in starting a fight with anyone. However, I break my own rule in this episode when it comes to the lack of reciprocity in podcasting. I was talking to a fellow OG podcaster (someone who also has 10 plus years of podcasts to their name) and we were saying how disappointing it is when you share your platform with someone and they seem indifferent and don't support you back...Plus. there's a short but sweet update on my fitness and nutrition strategy. Short and sweet because I'm wondering whether too much focus on it is as helpful as I think it is...Speaking of, this is the episode of Ready To Talk I mentioned in the show.Please do chat with me and your fellow listeners over on Substack. I'd love to hear your thoughts.EG xxHey! Why not share your thoughts and insights to make your listening experience even better.
