    Jun 7 2024

    This week the girls are gestating, celebrating, and puke-baiting with a very special episode about the perfumes they're selecting when they're Expecting. Who better to discuss the scent of pregnancy than writer, trend forecaster, and glamorously pregnant diva Emily Segal! The Nose Candy gals sat down with the author of Mercury Retrograde (Deluge, 2020) to talk about digital coffee, Baggu barf and the correct pronunciation of the word "midwifery." From Bisquick and orange juice, to expired Flintstones vitamins, to Robitussin scents and parmesan perfumes these three are celebrating the gift of life with the gift of gab for an engorged and gorgeous episode you will not want to miss!
