Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say! Whether you're a novice or an expert, obsessed with drug store or name brand products, in this week's episode, your hosts tap into the perspective of a self-made make-up artist extraordinaire who is also the face of and owner of Odesi Boutique. How do cosmetics make you feel? Is it vanity or is it more? As their special guest takes Karen and Wil on location in between shoots, they discuss how she got started and her philanthropic work. Not surprisingly, they determined that make-up wearing is, in fact, a form of art and a tool people utilize to feel empowered and polished. Karen also discovered that Wil's prominent cheekbones are accentuated by his foundation wear! jest jest..Stay tuned in as your hosts continue to create episodes and let yourselves be taken away to the next coffee roaster, roasting beans sourced from around the world, by Wil's coffee brew of the day... and who knows? Karen might even jump off the K-cup bandwagon and purchase her own coffee grinder! [Alas young padawan, much to learn, Karen has.]
