 A Hippie with Edge Ft. Kate Seward | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:58:07

“I know that if I had kept drinking and doing drugs the way that I was, I would have died. There wasn’t really another option.” — Kate on her decision to get sober On this episode of the #nakedbeautypodcast I’m joined by Kate — writer and lover of all things wellness. We discuss this universal phenomenon of women constantly thinking about their hair…. what to do with it, to dye or not to dye, etc. - why is it constantly on our minds? Kate gives me insight into going platinum blonde & I get her thoughts re: as a white woman how much she worries about cultural appropriation... We talk about a summer in the South of France breeding insecurity, going on her first diet at 10, and her super-chic Mom practicing ‘radical candor’ way before it was fashionable. Kate, who’s now 11 years sober, talks about the 12-step program and embracing the practice. Also stay tuned for a hilarious take on why my question ‘when do you feel most beautiful?’ is so hard to answer (54:15) Follow Kate/ DM her to chat: https://www.instagram.com/thekateseward/ Stay in touch with me: https://www.instagram.com/brookevard/ Products/Things Mentioned: Drinking a Love Story by Caroline Knapp https://www.amazon.com/Drinking-Love-Story-Caroline-Knapp/dp/0385315546 Cat Marnell’s Amphetamine Logic https://www.vice.com/en_us/topic/amphetamine-logic Angel Wash by Kevin Murphy https://www.kevinmurphystore.com/shampoo/angel-wash Collagen Powder for added protein with your morning coffee https://bit.ly/2K5y2OU Sakura Life Chocolate Collagen https://www.sakara.com/products/beauty-chocolates If you love the show, please subscribe and rate on the Apple Podcast App & spread the word using #nakedbeautypodcast

 Don't Contour Before Your Date Ft. Lindsey Metselaar | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:51:19

“My exes have really hot exes. And I need them to be hot.”— today’s guest Lindsey Metselaar Lindsey, who also hosts her own fab podcast — We Met at Acme, a show about millennial dating in NYC, had a lot to say & strong opinions that kept me cracking up the entire time. Lindsey shares how she felt about herself growing up, being the ‘elephant in the room’ in high school and curly-hair shame. I ask her if she really eats everything posted on @dontexpectsalads and we talk about a misguided anorexia intervention from well-meaning friends (she does eat for the record). We discuss dating apps Hinge and Raya, how Lindsey gets ready for dates and how men don’t really understand how much make-up goes into the ‘no-make-up look’. We cover Brazilian waxes vs landing strips and why guys get away with having ‘full bushes’. Lindsey describes her ideal woman, why she prefers her exes to have hot exes, her thoughts on lip injections, thick eyebrows, nose jobs in the Jewish community and love for dry shampoo. ******* Follow Lindsey https://www.instagram.com/lindzmetz/ Follow We Met at Acme on IG: https://www.instagram.com/wemetatacme/ Hear me discuss my dating years & the Rules on We Met at Acme: https://apple.co/2EJsaYy Learn more about her show: https://www.wemetatacme.com Products Mentioned Glossier Tinted Moisturizer https://www.glossier.com/products/perfecting-skin-tint Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer https://www.sephora.com/product/tinted-moisturizer-P310930?country_switch=ca Soft shirts from ATM for Lindsey’s go-to first date look https://atmcollection.com Oribe Hair products https://www.oribe.com Dry Shampoo from Dry Bar https://www.thedrybar.com/detox-dry-shampoo Book She’s Loving - I Like You Just the Way I Am https://www.amazon.com/Like-You-Just-Way-Am/dp/1250055830 Glam Squad to find a make-up artist https://www.glamsquad.com/ Be sure to subscribe, rate and review the show: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-naked-beauty-podcast/id1131628553?mt=2 Keep in touch: instagram.com/brookedevard

 Vintage Black Glamour Ft. Nichelle Gainer | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:20:36

I’m joined by Vintage Black Glamour author, the fabulous Nichelle Gainer — a self-described “black history encyclopedia”. We discuss how what started out as a research project for a novel inspired by her great aunt, Mildred Taylor, a model in the 1950s evolved into the Vintage Black Glamour Tumblr site in 2011. I learn about the history of black beauty pageants, the ‘Four Goddesses’: Josephine Baker, Lena Horne, Dorthy Dandridge and Ertha Kitt and why they’ve been able to maintain icon status decades later. We talk about the “It Girls” of the Harlem Renaissance like A’Lelia Walker and Blanche Dunne, roles black actresses have had to take in Hollywood, and the importance of keeping these stories alive for future generations. Nichelle tells me about growing up in South Jersey in the 70s and 80s and why when it comes to her hair — you get what you pay for.

 Do More With Less Ft. Mekdela Maskal | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:05

“It’s realizing how much you don’t need and seeing how much we are brainwashed to think that what makes us happy is being able to buy something. Letting that go is really freeing…not having this attachment to material objects as a measure of happiness.” — My guest, Mekdela Maskal Mekdela is a media activist, living in Brooklyn, and fellow nature-lover with amazing style and beautiful natural hair. We go deep on her routine for the ideal wash day — from coconut oil pre-poo treatments to long finger-detangling sessions in the shower. I learn about what beauty wisdom she’s taken in from her Ethiopian parents and what the popular styles and approaches to beauty are in Ethiopia. Mekdela talks to me about what natural oils she loves, her yoga practice, how intentionally sweating is key for her skincare routine and gives me some INCREDIBLE make-up tips like using lipstick as eyeshadow (why haven’t I ever thought of this?!) . We also get into the commercialization of the feminist movement and her issues with the way diversity and inclusion is used as a marketing tactic, how she developed her personal style and why she feels most beautiful surrounded by nature.

 Self-Care Isn’t an Excuse Ft. Darian Symone | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:02:16

Digital consultant working with brands like Glossier and Into the Gloss, podcaster, news curator and passionate self-starter who’s dedicated to skincare, Darian Symone, joins me on this episode of the #nakedbeautypodcast. We discuss moving from NY to LA, interning at Beyonce’s Parkwood, why she loves Melina Matsoukas, and the platform she’s created with her podcast, ‘Am I Allowed To Like Anything’. Darian’s skincare routine is VERY THOROUGH and involves using acids for exfoliation, controlling oil on her t-zone, minimizing her pores and finding the perfect SPF. She also lets me in on all of her haircare secrets for the perfect weave and explains the importance of finding a great stylist and buying quality hair. Growing up as the only girl of color in her class in Buffalo, NY, Darian explains how this influenced her world view. We talk about ‘white feminism’, the Women’s March (which we both didn’t attend) and dissect some of the reasons why. Darian explains “I’m really careful not to use self-care as an excuse for the things I’m just afraid to do”, a warning we should all take into consideration because it’s just too easy to neglect responsibilities in the name of ‘self-care’. Lots of fun discussion on the highlighter trend going too far, breast reductions and why we stan for SZA and Princess Nokia.

 Island Gal Vibes Ft. Eniye Kagbala | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:01:33

“Caribbean women are just something else” - my guest, dear friend, and artist, Eniye Kagbala aka 333niye on the unrivaled confidence of Caribbean women. We met online years ago, spent time together in London (going to fashion week & doing the most) but Eniye hails from St.Vincent. Since moving back to to the island from London, she’s learning to be grateful for life in paradise and “just LIVE” rather than chase. We talk about what makes quintessential island girl style — which she believes is about throwing on whatever is comfortable and not overthinking your look. We discuss buying hair on AliExpress, the importance of reading reviews before you buy and how to preserve braids. Eniye has dyed her hair AND brows at home with bleach for a very striking signature look. We talk about how her hair journey began in Nigeria, why she loves Gwen Stefani, Tom Ford and Alaia and how she approaches her music and the creative process. Eniye believes life is about perfecting the art of living and that we’re all on non-linear paths.

BET Style editor, Danielle Prescod, and I talk through A LOT in this last episode of 2017. Danielle doesn’t drink, “doesn’t enjoy food like that” AND she’s celibate — clearly, she’s got some super-human willpower. We discuss Meghan Markle, what working in fashion does to your closet, what therapy has done for her, dating in NYC, and how Danielle balances her work & downtime even though she’s a self-described ‘content monster with a pathological need for attention’. Danielle’s introduction to fasting and the cult of Dr. Charles Passler, started out as a story she was working on for ELLE but soon developed into a total body transformation and entirely new approach to eating. We discuss her matcha latte, bone broth and tea diet, and getting your body into a ketogenic state for maximum fat burning. Listen for: Racially Screening Soul Cycle instructors (lol!)

Her experience in rehab, coping with undiagnosed PTSD, and the difference between addiction, abuse and using. She extolls the virtue of therapy (even hypnotherapy), to cope with a cutting addiction and anxiety. We discuss eating with portion control in mind and navigating weight gain as we get older.

Hannah Bronfman is the founder of HBFIT, DJ and wellness enthusiast. On this episode we talk about it all — from the superficial e.g. what’s it like to have Nikki Nelms do you hair and the best way to lose weight (it involves eating a lot of fat) to deeper topics like how bad relationships often serve as a way to break through. We discuss growing up in NYC, what it was like planning her fabulous wedding in Morocco, how she’s thinking about aging and potentially motherhood, what products she swears by and how she’s had to advocate for herself as a woman in business.
