This week on Bestie Boos, we dive into the pop culture messiness we love—Justin Bieber’s bizarre caption on Hailey’s Vogue cover, Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes hard launching with a full ocean pash, and Kris Jenner’s face that’s suddenly giving… Kim?

Sam shares a funny-sad preschool drop-off story that’ll hit home for any parent.

Sarah opens up about her skincare redemption arc—what ruined her skin years ago, and her new routine featuring retinol and Botox. We also chat Jacinda Ardern, imposter syndrome, and finding your place even when you feel like a fraud.

Plus: a touching shoutout to the rugby boys and Sarah’s go-to tips for surviving winter sick season with kids.

This week, the Bestie Boos tackle pop culture’s criminal edition — from P. Diddy and Cassie to Kim K’s courtroom moment and our gal Taylor swift being dragged into the Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni drama that we wish would end. Sam reveals worldwide headlines based on their own texts of 10 years, and a heated debate breaks out over audiobooks vs. reading. We also share heartfelt advice on how to really show up for friends going through tough times — plus a lactose-fuelled Kmart crisis to end on a high (or a low, depending who you ask).

This week’s Bestie Boos is giving a pop culture round up, Mother’s Day from the estranged daughters seat, and bedtime breakdowns (again). We chat shared Apple IDs (can we not?), our first-ever jobs, our love for Brit Cunningham's #cleantok, and ask the question no one else is: what happened to NZ Music Month?

In this jam-packed episode of Bestie Boos, we kick off with our highs and lows of the week — including a very special surprise from Sarah (hint: blind box).

We dive into the world of random celebrity couples — yes, Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley, we’re looking at you — plus the latest chaos from JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes. We give our take on Australia’s big election moment and somehow end up deep in the trenches of bad parenting: the swearing edition (featuring our toddlers dropping F-bombs).

Sam opens up during our mental health check-in about grief, medication, and the tough career crossroads she’s facing, and we revisit how ChatGPT has weirdly become part therapist. We also get stuck into a chat about Gen Z slang, tech through the generations, and wrap things up with a hilarious attempt by Sam to get her mum to say “I love you” for Mother’s Day - yes we ring her!

We kick things off with an exciting GHD giveaway. Then, they dive into the weird world of Labubu dolls (seriously, what even are they?!). Sarah opens up about being made redundant last year and how it shaped her journey, while Sam shares an awkward recurring encounter with her delivery person that just keeps getting weirder. And to top it all off, Sarah has a full-blown menty b (mental breakdown) over Schitt’s Creek quotes

This week we get raw — diving into Sam’s journey navigating motherhood through the thick of grief. With her daughter Luna losing her Dad and her Poppa last year. We also catch up on Sarah’s birthday celebrations, chat about (past) pregnancy announcements, and round things off with our thoughts on Katy Perry’s questionable trip to space.

Tender, teary, and a little bit chaotic — this one’s straight from the heart, Besties x
