Doree Shafrir & Elise Hu

Which night creams will make you look well-rested, is quitting coffee really worth the headache, can emptying your closet really bring you joy, and wtf is a gratitude practice, anyway? Co-hosts Doree Shafrir and Elise Hu explore these kinds of questions, with a big helping of humor and self-awareness. Together with weekly guests, they navigate what it means to care for ourselves as we get older — and hopefully wiser.

    [You’re listening to a preview of this month’s Product Recall, available exclusively on our Patreon. To hear the full episode, join us at patreon.com/forever35.] Doree reminds Kate of a time, just 25 years ago, when the options for buying beauty products were basically limited to the drugstore or department stores. Then, the very French, very chic Sephora we know and love came to the States. Doree and Kate discuss the surprising consumer hesitation of standalone beauty stores in the US, the brand’s massive growth during the 2008 recession, and the origins of the famous backlit black-and-white shelves.

    Product Recall: Creme De La Mer (PREVIEW)

    [You’re listening to a preview of this month’s Product Recall, available exclusively on our Patreon. To hear the full episode, join us at patreon.com/forever35.] Kate takes us to the sea with the lore, history, and ingredients behind Creme De La Mer, the iconic and exorbitantly expensive face cream. Created by a scientist in the 1960s to heal injuries sustained in a laboratory explosion, the story of Creme de la Mer involves fermented sea kelp, gurgling sounds played for months to enhance the product, and a psychic hired by Estee Lauder to commune with its dead founder. Plus, we dig into the comparison with “German Nivea” – is it really the same thing as Creme de la Mer, for hundreds of dollars less?

    [You're listening to a sneak peek of our new show Season One! To hear more episodes of Season One, join our Patreon at patreon.com/forever35 for just $5 a month.] Much like the Thanksgiving turkey, this episode of The OC is stuffed full of goodness!
