Welcome to our first attempt at opening our conversions to more people than just the two of us. In this episode we try to answer some of the questions we have gathered in these past weeks from people we know and have been listening to us. While recording seemed an impossibile task because of the lack of collaboration from Sierra Leone in terms of internet connectivity and eletctricity, we still managed to have this out. 

Hoping you will enjoy this episode as much as we did trying out the new energy which we tried to bring to our dialogues, press play and listen to our episode before a power cut wrapped up the conversation for us.

Let's be realistic, the more episodes we air the more difficult it is to be interesting and witty in our descriptions. So bear with us and allow yourself to go with the flow, as it usually happens to us during our conversations.

In today's episode we humbly try to wrap our heads around beauty, or whatever thought pops into our mind which hopefully doesn't sound too obvious or banal.

So, what do you think beauty is and what does it mean to you? And most importantly, is it really so important to talk about it in the first place? It at least seemed important enough to dedicate 30 minutes of our weekly talk. Welcome to Beauty Bites!

To the animal lovers out there, we are sorry to tell you that this episode is about anything but dogs. The question is simple, the answer is probably not; it took us about 30 minutes of talking, simply because we knew we couldn't keep you on hold for three hour conversations. 

Moving from Harari’s 21 lessons for the 21st century to Esther Perel’s blog posts, Shaza asks if it is possible "to teach an old dog a new trick".
