Not Washing
On this episode of How to Be Fine, Kristen and Jolenta talk about showering, and how much of it is actually necessary. Plus, they offer up advice to a parent who regrets giving their children culturally insensitive names, and a letter writer who is getting ready for a fresh start on life.
