<description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s Friday, and it&amp;rsquo;s a news-free zone. Breathe out, friends, and let&amp;rsquo;s kick off with a splash of skincare nepotism &amp;mdash; Gwyneth Paltrow&amp;rsquo;s daughter Apple is sharing how Mum asked all her &amp;ldquo;Goopy&amp;rdquo; friends to help fix her teenage acne and honestly, haven&amp;rsquo;t we all?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Also, iconic magazine editor Anna Wintour just sat down with her successor, Vogue Content Director Chloe Malle, and served up a deeply awkward masterclass in 'Boomer vs. Millennial' work ethic clash. So, who wants to pay everyone 30 per cent more?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Is it ever okay to mention your food intolerance on a first date? What about your ex? What about your mother? And who the hell does pay, in 2026? The&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;New York Times &lt;/em&gt;has dropped a new set of 'Dating Rules'. Some are genius, some are unhinged, and yes, we have thoughts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And finally, we tackle a domestic mystery as old as time: Are you a box-flattener or are you... normal?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Plus, recommendations. Jessie Stephens has a very helpful robot for you. Clare Stephens wants to help you unlock creativity (it's a new year, fire horses) and Holly Wainwright wants to show you her new pants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;SUBSCRIBE here: &lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribe/?utm_source=shownotes&amp;amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=mmol"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Support independent women's media&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommendations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clare &lt;/strong&gt;recommends&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://fave.co/4aIlYkD"&gt;The Writer's Studio&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;which offers&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;courses for aspiring writers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holly &lt;/strong&gt;recommends the &lt;a href="https://fave.co/4r5cN3X"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;jersey barrel leg pants&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from Uniqlo&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In a turn of events, &lt;strong&gt;Jessie &lt;/strong&gt;is recommending &lt;a href="https://chatgpt.com/?utm_source=google&amp;amp;utm_medium=paid_search&amp;amp;utm_campaign=GOOG_C_SEM_GBR_Core_CHT_BAU_ACQ_PER_MIX_ALL_APAC_AU_EN_021425&amp;amp;c_id=22239765488&amp;amp;c_agid=176457982953&amp;amp;c_crid=790574195882&amp;amp;c_kwid={keywordid}&amp;amp;c_ims=&amp;amp;c_pms=9071828&amp;amp;c_nw=g&amp;amp;c_dvc=c&amp;amp;gad_source=1&amp;amp;gad_campaignid=22239765488&amp;amp;gbraid=0AAAAA-I0E5cCHBmb9PAmuo-oLMnTxuqEl&amp;amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAhtvMBhDBARIsAL26pjGaJ_RQNVwIbJ9bMtYuG-3orYFKaFrmTg4BH-gIqlOrb-dg9WAH13caAm8XEALw_wcB"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chat GPT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (we're shocked too) for anybody who needs some design help when moving house.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What To Listen To Next:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;EMERGENCY MEETING: &lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/former-prince-andrew-arrested-emergency-meeting/"&gt;'Prince' Andrew's Arrest Is Not What You Think It Is&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen:&lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/subs-angelina-jolie-netflix-couture/?utm_source=shownotes&amp;amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=mmol"&gt; Angelina Jolie &amp;amp; The Existential Threat Of Desirable Older Women&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/mafs-sexual-chemistry/"&gt;MAFS &amp;amp; The Specific Cruelty of the &amp;lsquo;Sexual Chemistry&amp;rsquo; Question&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/margot-robbie-jacob-elordi-wuthering-heights-review/?utm_source=shownotes&amp;amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=mmol"&gt;All The Gossip From The Wuthering Heights Premiere (And Why Mia Walked Out)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen: &lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/margot-robbie-jacob-elordi-wuthering-heights-controversy/"&gt;Wuthering Heights &amp;amp; the &amp;lsquo;Bad Man&amp;rsquo; Controversy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen: &lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/finger-princess-wuthering-heights/"&gt;"Uh-Oh, I'm A Finger Princess"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/subs-twin-intuition-jessie-clare-stephens/?utm_source=shownotes&amp;amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=mmol"&gt;Jessie and Clare Stephens' Weird Twin Shit Just Got Weirder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/confessing-an-affair/"&gt;An Affair Confession Live On Air&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li aria-level="1"&gt;Listen:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/mamamia-out-loud/which-generation-is-best-at-parenting/?utm_source=shownotes&amp;amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=mmol"&gt;The Best (And Worst) Generations Of Parents.
