Thee High Societea (Episode 9): Indicators of a Recession (DIY Era & Budget)

Indicators of a Recession (DIY Era, Budget Beauty & ‘She’s Not That Girl’ Takes) | THS Ep. 9In episode nine of THS, the hosts discuss “indicators of a recession,” joking that being in a DIY era is a major sign, from doing nails, brows, lashes, and wig maintenance at home to even waxing at home to avoid salon costs. They point to quieter Cinco de Mayo celebrations, cutting budgets on hair, rising gas and grocery prices, and avoiding airport pickups as other signs. They also share money-saving habits they describe as Black/Nigerian, like diluting soaps, reusing grocery bags as trash bags, saving takeout containers, and reusing Ziploc bags. The episode ends with a “she’s not that girl” segment where one host says pizza is overhyped (except suya pizza in Nigeria), and the other argues avocado is overpriced and overrated.
