Guilty Pleasures: Nothing Productive About It

Summer Series: The Real "Guilty Pleasures" (No BS Included)

We’re diving into our summer series with a massive dose of honesty, because let’s be real, we all need a break from pretending we love meditation (kidding).

This week, we’re exposing our actual, unfiltered guilty pleasures.

Here is what we’re diving into

• The Italian TikTok Drama Rabbit Hole: Valentina breaks down the wild, endemic Southern Italian fights taking over her feed (yes, we are talking about the infamous "pink artisan" Ozempic ER scam).
• Trashy TV vs. True Crime: Why Valentina cleans her kitchen to old people fighting for love on Uomini e Donne (Trono Over is the only one that matters, let's be real) and why Georgette is utterly obsessed with the diabolical web of the Scamanda podcast.
• The Guilt-Free Escapism: Why we need to stop treating reading list titles like celebrity name-dropping, why it's a total pleasure to just say "I don't know" instead of having an opinion on everything, and the books we genuinely can't put down.
