This week, Lorilee unleashes a rant on the chaos that is online jewelry shopping and subsequent delivery. Andrea jumps in with her own holiday‑season confessions as the two compare Christmas lists, gifting strategies, and the annual tradition of pretending we’re more organized than we actually are.

To wrap things up, the girls share the books that carried them through 2025 — the ones they loved, the ones they powered through, and the ones they’re still reading simultaneously because apparently one book at a time is so last decade.

Expect laughs, mild exasperation, and a few dangerously relatable moments.
