Mic'd and Medicated: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert

Send us Fan MailTwo NYC moms walk into a couch — one's leaving for Miami, the other's staying — and a third native New Yorker joins them to make it make sense.This week Eva and Caroline are joined by Mallory Schultz — founder and creative director of luxury event studio House of Mal, former Condé Nast editor (Bon Appétit, Self, Martha Stewart's Everyday Food), and a fourth-generation New Yorker raising her own kids in the city she grew up in.They get into all of it: what it actually means to raise kids in Manhattan, the Bat Mitzvah after-party industrial complex, why "buzz balls" are now a security concern, the magazine girlhood that doesn't exist anymore, Hill schools vs city schools, why Mallory thinks rigid women are the f--ing best, the case against Greenwich (and the missing frozen yogurt), Stockholm Syndrome New Yorkers, and the surprising fact that Manhattan is just one of five boroughs (which Eva did not know).Plus: there's an unforgettable wedding-party-planner-seizure story you'll be repeating at your next dinner.Unfiltered.

Send us Fan MailDeath, divorce and moving are the three most significant life changes a person can go through. We're not dead. We're not divorced. But one of us is moving to Miami — and apparently that qualifies.This episode is about why moving is so much harder than it looks. Not the logistics. The psychology. When you move you have to address every single thing you've ever accumulated. Every dress, every dish, every half-filled diary from age nine. And somewhere in all of that stuff is the question: who was I when I bought this? Am I still that person? Do I want to be?We break down the four attachment styles — secure, anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant — and figure out which ones we are. Spoiler: Doug and Jeremy did not marry secure women. We get into why Caroline cried saying goodbye to empty walls, and thanked the house out loud. Why she has 35 diaries with one line each and cannot explain it. And why Eva's grandmother threw her wedding album in the trash, and what that says about all of us.We also recommend the book The Postcard, which will make you rethink everything you've ever thrown away. And we end with the Tech Tard moment of the week, which involves Caroline uploading an unedited video to Spotify. We're owning it.Word of the week: Anthropomorphize. And we learned what potpourri means. We were both right.Mic'd and Medicated — Two NYC women figuring it out in real time. Unfiltered. Unafraid. Unexpert.

Send us Fan MailThis week's guest is Melissa Gellman Weiss — Barry's CMO, founder of Re/Gen, and one of the most honest women we've had on the show.And we mean honest.Melissa grew up in New Jersey but went to private school in New York City — and still doesn't lead with the NJ part. Her husband took one look at her NYC friends and said he didn't want their kids growing up like that. So they moved to Larchmont. She built a massive career — and spent two weeks a month away from home doing it.The guilt never left.She'll tell you she felt like a failure because her mom was the CEO of the house — completely in charge, completely present — and she was splitting herself in half trying to be both. We talked about what it actually costs a woman to choose ambition. Not in theory. In real life.We also got into:- Why everything good in her life happened after she got sober — 16 years and counting. - The pressure cooker of NYC private school culture and why she opted her kids out of it. - Why women our age are uniquely positioned to own the next decade — and why we keep underselling ourselves. - What she'd tell her younger self now that she's on the other side of all of it.Melissa is the kind of woman who makes you feel less alone in your choices — whatever they are. This one hit close to home.🎙️ Mic'd and Medicated — Two NYC women having the conversations everyone is thinking but nobody is saying out loud. Unfiltered. Unafraid.

Send us Fan MailSeason 2 is here — and we have a big reveal that we are absolutely not telling you in the description because we have finally learned something about marketing.What we will tell you: New York is giving Detroit energy, other cities are looking very sexy right now, and we just paid our taxes so emotions are running high.This season we are smarter, funnier, and slightly more plugged in than before — which, to be fair, is a low bar. We've added Eva's SAT Word of the Week, Caroline's Favorite Meme of the Week, and a Dear Abby segment because apparently we give advice now.We also had a When Harry Met Sally moment and realized we are both Sallys. The worst kind of woman. High maintenance who thinks she's low maintenance. If you know, you know.Eva actually cares about fashion this year. Caroline is trying to listen more but still cannot physically stop herself mid-joke. Growth is non-linear.We are anything but anodyne. Don't google that word. Just hit play.

Send us Fan MailWe did it. Season 1 of our podcast is officially complete—and somehow, two self-proclaimed “techtards” made it to 55 episodes.From recording our first episode with no audio to convincing ourselves we understand mics, lighting, editing, and social media…this has been chaos, growth, and a lot of laughs.In this Season 1 finale, we’re reflecting on:The highs, the lows, and our favorite mean comments (honestly, some of you are very creative)What we’ve learned about motherhood, work, and showing up onlineHow we’d describe each other (from ChatGPT’s POV…which was maybe too accurate)Why Caroline interrupts everything—and why Eva brings it back (eventually)And yes…whether the camera actually adds 10 pounds or just exposes usWe also talk about what it really takes to keep going when most podcasts quit before episode 10—and why we didn’t.Eva went from barely opening Instagram to finding life advice in memes, and Caroline went from tech-challenged to full-blown content producer (CapCut and Canva in the house).If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, imperfect, or like you’re just figuring it out as you go, this episode is for you.And…this isn’t just a finale. Eva and Caroline are just getting started. There are new exciting changes coming in Season 2.Let’s just say…this chaos might be heading somewhere sunnier 🌴Grab an expensive tequila, laugh with us, and thank you for being part of this with us.

Send us Fan MailMost women are burnt out trying to do it all—career, family, self—and somehow still feel like they’re failing at every turn. So we have to ask… is “having it all” actually real, or is it the biggest lie we’ve been sold?In this episode of Mic’d and Medicated, we sit down (again) with Flavia Masson—screenwriter, artist, and a married woman who chose not to have children—to rip apart the pressure women face to be everything to everyone.Because no matter what you choose, it somehow feels like you lose: Married, no career = not successful Career, no kids = not successful Career + kids = bad mom Single with a big career = still judgedSo what exactly are we all chasing?We get into the rise of the “trad wife” movement (yes, the sourdough, barefoot-in-the-kitchen fantasy), and why more women are opting out of the chaos of trying to do it all—and instead choosing to do one thing really well.Flavia says it best: life isn’t a buffet, it’s a fixed menu. If you pick the fish, you’re not getting the chicken. And maybe the real problem is we’ve been told we should want both.We talk about:Why “having it all” might actually mean doing everything halfwayThe societal pressure and judgment women face no matter what they chooseHow women became their own harshest criticsThe mental load, burnout, and unrealistic expectations of modern lifeWhy clarity on your priorities matters more than chasing perfectionHow to actually build a life that feels good (not just looks good)Whether you’re a mom, a career woman, questioning everything, or just exhausted from trying to juggle 10 balls at once, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and a lot less alone.Because maybe the goal isn’t to have it all…maybe it’s to choose what actually matters—and own it.REFERENCES Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg: https://leanin.org/book“Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” – The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/07/why-women-still-cant-have-it-all/309020/“Can We All Have It All?” by Anne-Marie Slaughter: https://www.ted.com/talks/anne_marie_slaughter_can_we_all_have_it_all We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Send us Fan MailEveryone has pet peeves… we just decided to say ours out loud (hopefully not so loud that we annoy you).Some of these are minor. Some are completely unhinged. And some might actually be… neurological.You might be dealing with misophonia—that very real phenomenon where certain sounds (gum smacking, soup slurping, aggressive keyboard typing on airplanes ) instantly trigger your nervous system.But not all pet peeves are about sound. Some are about something deeper—like sensing inauthenticity, fake happiness, or just… off energy.As we spiral through our list, we start to realize these aren’t just random icks. They actually reveal a lot about our (very high) standards, our boundaries, and what we really value in other people.We get into:The sounds that instantly trigger our nervous system (misophonia is real)The connection between high standards, hygiene, and visual chaosSocial media “happiness” that just doesn’t feel authenticThe unspoken rules of airplanes, family dynamics, and work jargonSome of these are relatable.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit down with Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Executive and candidate for Governor of New York, for a candid conversation about leadership in deeply polarized times—and what actually works in government.Bruce shares his professional journey from the private sector to public service and explains why real-world work experience matters in political leadership. We talk about how Nassau County became a model for lowering taxes while improving public safety and job creation, and why Bruce believes those results can be scaled across New York State.The conversation doesn’t shy away from big topics: capitalism versus socialism, restoring the American Dream, and the difference between giving people a hand up instead of a handout. As Bruce puts it, “I want to teach people how to fish.”We also get personal. Bruce opens up about growing up Jewish in a predominantly non-Jewish town, confronting antisemitism, and how those experiences shaped his views on equal opportunity, education, and national unity. He shares why he believes a strong American identity—and the virtue of work—are essential to the country’s future.Caroline and Eva do plenty of listening (and yes, plenty of talking), and don’t exactly hide where they stand.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Mic’d & Medicated, Caroline and Eva sit down with psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman to talk about what’s really going on in our heads — and how to make it a little more enjoyable in there.From self-talk and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to body neutrality, social pressure, and the mental gymnastics of modern life, Dr. Goldman breaks down the mind-body connection in a way that’s practical, relatable, and refreshingly non-judgmental. She also shares insights from her upcoming book and reminds us that while life is hard, it doesn’t have to feel hard all the time.This episode is about building a personal mental toolkit, setting realistic expectations, and focusing on what’s actually within your control — i.e., not pretending you’ll suddenly become a perfectly calm, well-rested, joyful billionaire.Small shifts. Better self-talk. Less suffering. We learned so much in this conversation — and chances are, you will too.REFERENCE: https://www.drrachelnyc.com/about/https://www.instagram.com/drrachelnyc/https://www.instagram.com/whenlifehappensbook/ We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Send us Fan MailResolutions feel like punishment. Manifesting feels like flirting with the universe.In this episode of Mic’d & Medicated, Caroline and Eva get unexpectedly inspired by The Secret—the idea that your thoughts aren’t just thoughts, they’re magnets. After years of forcing goals, obsessing over outcomes, and turning self-improvement into a personality flaw, they unpack why resolutions seldom work and why manifesting starts in your head.They break down the law of attraction in a way that’s less crystal-healing cult and more usable life strategy: stop fixating on what you don’t want, get clearer about who you actually want to be, and notice how your mindset quietly runs the show. From gratitude and visualization to autopilot living and “inspired action” (aka doing things that don’t feel like torture), in this episode, they argue that belief plus action beats punishment every time.But let’s be clear—some of The Secret is questionable. The idea that your thoughts alone make you fat? Hard sell. We’re pretty sure it’s not “thinking heavy” that does it—it’s McDonald’s, no exercise, and pretending errands count as cardio. This episode isn’t blind faith; it’s curiosity with a raised eyebrow.They also tackle the real manifestation mystery: can you rewire your brain so you stop manifesting husbands with terrible taste in gifts? Or are we energetically attracting men who think a charging cord is a love language?No joyless goal charts. No shame-based rules. Just better thoughts, better energy, and fewer ways to manifest your own misery.If your thoughts are running the show anyway, you might as well cast them better.Manifest, baby.

Send us Fan MailIn this week’s episode, Caroline and Eva are joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman, reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and co-author of Own Your Fertility, for the conversation no one had with us early enough. The truth? Fertility doesn’t fall off a cliff — it slowly declines until one day it suddenly matters a lot.They dig into egg freezing as empowerment versus false security, how (and when) to talk to our daughters before panic sets in, and why men need to be part of this conversation too. From ambition and delayed adulthood to single-mom-by-choice culture, this episode goes where most polite conversations never do.Along the way, Dr. Knopman shares real stories from the front lines of fertility medicine — including how frozen eggs can turn into a baby years later in ways that feel miraculous. They also get honest about the things no one taught us: how to make a bed, boil an egg, or plan for our biological future.Unfiltered, hilarious, and unexpectedly emotional, this is the fertility conversation you wish you’d had ten years ago.Reference: https://drjaimeknopman.com/https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Fertility-Freezing-Surrogacy/dp/1324111488 We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

From merch-filled bed parties and Instagram “opening the email” videos to parents basking in congratulations like they’re the ones who aced the SATs, college admissions have officially entered the twilight zone. Eva and Caroline unpack how the college process has become a multi-year pressure cooker—not just for kids, but for parents chasing validation, bragging rights, and the illusion of control. Who’s really applying to college? When did getting in become more important than what you’re getting?

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when life doesn’t follow the plan — and you decide not to force it?Caroline and Eva sit down with Danielle Frank, who pivoted from international film publicist at Miramax, to wine & spirits executive, to author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting — a satirical storybook about raising good humans (who are not whiny!) while drinking good wine. Danielle always imagined becoming a mother, but life doesn’t always go according to plan. Rather than becoming a parent, she embraced her role as Aunt “Didi” to her nieces and nephews — and turned years of observing her sister, friends and other parents into sharp, funny, and surprisingly insightful advice on how not to raise assholes. As Danielle puts it:“Allow yourself to heed my advice & your kids will turn out fine. Because you don’t want your kid to end up as a bad grape on the vine.”The conversation also goes deep into starting over, moving across the country, ignoring dating red flags, and learning how to own your independence. Plus, how deceiving Instagram is (and why #blessed means being miserable).  And we had a good laugh when Eva discovered that calling Instagram “the gram” is, in fact, a thing. She thought “IG,” was the colloquial term for Instagram… which it's not! Oh how we love our intellectual Eva.If you love strong, independent women, smart humor, honest conversations about non-traditional paths — and wine — this episode is for you.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we take a brutally honest look at how parents have gone from letting their kids fend for themselves to literally being drones, on top of their kids' every move. From Life 360 to Apple Tags, and even following our kids to College, we need to stop over-monitoring and start teaching our kids the skills to make their own decisions and the values to know right from wrong. And not just droning, we are snow plowing, aka plowing the road ahead for our kids so they don't even encounter problems, which is a recipe for the LEAST resilient kid on the block. How do we shift our approach so that the next generation can grow up with real resilience, a clear sense of right and wrong, AND not need their parents to accompany them to college? This conversation is as hilarious as it is serious, and if you are offended...buck up, and learn to take a joke!REFERENCES: Technology Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Qs3GkMni50S59uGSQJZWA?si=2OgO82PsRv6R37DGwY1HUABook: Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autismhttps://a.co/d/9hUJlNH We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Maybe the trick is lowering the bar—finding joy in the tiny wins, the almost-wins, and the “well, at least no one cried today” moments.​ If you can separate feeling overwhelmed from what’s actually good, there’s more joy hiding in your daily life than you think.

Send us Fan MailCaroline and Eva discuss their growing frustration with today’s parenting expectations — from over-scheduling kids to using “gentle” language instead of real discipline. They miss the days when kids were allowed to be bored, independent, and a little feral … rather than constantly programmed. Maybe benign neglect wasn’t the worst strategy, and telling your kid to shut the f**k up once in a while won't cause any permanent damage.Don’t worry, Eva and Caroline would never yell or curse at their kids… except when their kids deserve it. And studies show people who swear often have higher verbal and creative fluency. So who's the genius now? They ask the big question: Are we raising resilient, empathetic, independent humans, or over-coddled perfection projects who can’t think or do for themselves? It’s time to rethink what kids actually need: boundaries, accountability, character … and a little less pressure to be future Harvard robots.REFERENCES: Mother.ly article:https://www.mother.ly/news/viral-trending/why-modern-parenting-feels-impossible/Retail Math link:https://youtu.be/I_3kHURyv4I?si=KOnTInjV9GHN62O7Dan Senorhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/call-me-back-with-dan-senor/id1539292794?i=1000734986142Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrierhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/209281163How to Dress Like a Gentleman — and Whyhttps://www.thefp.com/p/elliot-ackerman-how-to-dress-like-a-gentleman We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Send us Fan MailFresh off their Wall Street Journal feature, Eva and Caroline reflect on the experience and the growing challenges of getting the full story in today’s media landscape. They also sound the alarm about the NYC mayoral race and what’s at stake for the city’s future. The conversation dives into Islamophobia — what it is, how it’s used, and why it can silence important critique of extremist ideologies. It’s an unfiltered talk about identity, power, and why now more than ever, we need to listen, question, and — most importantly — vote. This episode will make you laugh, cry, and pray for an election miracle!WSJ Article - New York’s Richest Ask ‘How Dare He?’ as Mamdani Closes In on City Hall: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/zohran-mamdani-new-york-city-wealthy-230722acFix The City: Join Our Movement:https://www.fixthecity.nyc/schedulingpage-eventNew York City Ballot Request Portal:https://share.google/eejhSyR7rr7qMCvU2To be counted, your absentee ballot needs to be postmarked by Tuesday, November 4th.Mayor – Recommendation: Cuomo on the “Fight and Deliver” lineRabbi Cosgrove sermon:https://youtu.be/5hTC8PjBcEE  Douglas Murray's Islamophilia: A Very Metropolitan Maladyhttps://a.co/d/8UV0qBSSaveNYC25 on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/savenyc25?igsh=MWE5aWt0bXhsMjBwcg==Podcasts mentioned:Episode 12: How Qatar gets a free pass for Islamist radicalism, a conversation with Dr. Jonathan Schanzerhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-haviv-anything/id1794590850?i=1000705876873The Bright Line Between Good and Evilhttps://www.samharris.org/blog/the-bright-line-between-good-and-evil We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Send us Fan MailEva and Caroline sit down with therapist, lawyer, and author Lauren Tetenbaum, whose new book Millennial Menopause shines a light on one of life’s biggest transitions that no one seems to talk about: menopause. Rather than feeling down about aging, Lauren offers practical advice and real solutions to help women feel better—and yes, sexier—as we trade tampons for hormone therapy. From “meno-bellies” and brain fog to SSRIs and HRT, Lauren keeps it real about what’s happening to our bodies and minds. As she puts it, “My collagen is waning, but my chutzpah grows.” Whether you’re already in menopause, trying to get pregnant, or just curious about what’s ahead, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and maybe even a little excited about aging.Lauren's Information:Book: Millennial Menopause  https://www.amazon.com/Millennial-Menopause-Preparing-Perimenopause-Period/dp/1646048105Instagram: @thecounselaur  https://www.instagram.com/thecounselaur/Website: https://thecounselaur.com/ We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Send us Fan MailCaroline and Eva talk with Anne Kadet, the sharp, witty mind behind the cult Substack Café Anne. Yes, New York City is grittier these days, but Anne shares how she finds beauty and charm in it every single day. From spotting small acts of kindness on the street to savoring a coffee at an outdoor cafe, Anne will inspire you to see the glass half full. While Caroline and Eva rarely leave the UES, Anne makes every day an adventure—she even once spent 24 hours straight riding the NYC subway (and lived to tell the tale).

Send us Fan MailCaroline and Eva dive into the hilariously different ways men and women communicate, so it's no wonder married couples can’t understand each other. From misinterpreting each other’s words to having starkly different styles of fighting that can be, shall we say, triggering...it's a wonder any woman and man are happily married. Do you weaponize silence? Go to bed angry? Or declare, “I’m not talking about this”? The ladies will have you laughing in stitches while realizing that most fights aren’t deep, existential cracks in your marriage, but rather they’re just proof that women are from Venus and men are from URANUS!Resources mentioned:You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation by Deborah Tannenhttps://www.amazon.com/You-Just-Dont-Understand-Conversation/dp/0060959622 We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Do we stay on autopilot, or pause to ask if there are better ways to build the life we want?They dive into the big questions—about living in New York, one’s purpose, whether it’s about the journey or the destination (or neither). While they might not seem “woo-woo,” they can’t ignore that this cosmic shake-up is causing them to reevaluate their lives. Because maybe the point is not to live like you have the answers, but like you’re still trying to figure them out.Movie reference: The Wedding Crashers We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Can NYC kids grow up to be game changers or are we destined to raise Bonfire of the Vanities' masters of the universe who will feel broke making $5 million a year? We don’t have all the answers, but we promise a really fun and cheeky episode.David's Substack is Sparks From Culture where he writes weekly essays focused on aspects of wealth and status. Beauty, Class, and Wealth was a recent essay. We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Send us Fan MailEva and Caroline sound off about how June is the hardest month of the year. How is anyone supposed to balance the endless demands — from school moving up day, end-of-year performances, and class picnics to after-school recitals and awards ceremonies — while smiling and capturing all the "special" moments? There's no time to savor anything, let alone the big milestones like preschool graduation or completing junior year, when we also have to answer 182 emails and navigate all the school and activity websites just to make sure we don't miss any of the 17 events we're expected to attend. Oh, and don't forget to fill out forms for September 2026! Did summer even start yet?

Send us Fan MailEva and Caroline give you the scoop (fat-free, of course) on their complicated relationship with food and how society's obsession with being skinny has evolved over the years. You don't need to be diagnosed with anorexia or bulimia to have disordered eating. From fat-phobic parents and "almond moms" to the insane pressure of our Upper East Side bubble where thin equals winning, it's virtually impossible not to raise a disordered eater. Still torturing yourself by trying on every pair of "skinny jeans" after gaining 5 pounds? Do you order like Sally in When Harry Met Sally? "Sauce on the side!" Then you will love this episode. And good news -- it's full of humor and calorie-free.  😉 We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!

Send us Fan MailCaroline and Eva discuss summer camp from its origins, traditions, and to how it impacted their childhoods. Polar opposites - the "city kid," Caroline, was homesick, nerdy and bounced from one camp to another while suburban and sporty, Eva, was an all star camper who loved every minute of her time away. Sleepaway camp looks different today — prepping for camp can feel more like preparing for spring break with the Bezos. Must haves are no longer just bug spray and ratty clothes ... the essentials now include monogrammed stationery boxes, personalized bedding and MOST IMPORTANTLY bedazzled skincare-filled caboodles. Be prepared to laugh and remember the awkward or special moments of summer camp.
