Moodswings is what happens when two lifelong best friends both in their 40s, mildly unhinged, and powered by equal parts rage and sunshine, decide the world needs to hear their inner monologues... out loud. Each week comes with a cocktail that matches the mood. Whether it’s a spicy margarita to celebrate your villain era or a bottle of red wine straight from the bottle (we’re not judging), we’ve got your emotional support drink covered.


One minute they’re offering deep life advice, the next they’re crying over 90s R&B or rage-texting their kids’ school group chat. No mood is off-limits. No topic is too sacred. From perimenopause meltdowns to midlife glow-ups, current events, to therapy breakthroughs, Moodswings is your weekly dose of chaotic wisdom wrapped in sarcasm and sisterhood.


Think of it as a group chat with your funniest, most unfiltered friends except you don’t have to text back.

  • 40 Shades, But only 10 faces: The Truth About Makeup Inclusivity
    Apr 27 2026

    Enjoying MoodSwings? Send us a text!!

    Today on Mood Swings, we are talking about makeup inclusivity for darker skin tones.

    Why do some companies have 50 shades, but only show 10 in their ads? Why do so many “magic” foundations leave darker skin looking orange, gray, or ashy? And why do so many brands still stop at tan?

    We are breaking down:

    • The struggle of finding the right foundation for darker skin
    • Concealers, contour, hyperpigmentation, and color correction
    • Why darker skin needs different undertones
    • Black-owned brands that actually get it right
    • The “Fenty Effect” and how Rihanna changed the beauty industry
    • Our Sip On It or Skip On It review section

    We are also sharing our funniest makeup fails, horror stories, and why under our sink looks like a foundation graveyard.

    Featuring brands like Fenty Beauty, UOMA Beauty, Danessa Myricks Beauty, Black Opal, Black Radiance, Mented Cosmetics, and more.

    Like, comment, subscribe, and tell us your biggest makeup fail or favorite foundation for deeper skin tones.

  • She Said BRB… and Never Came Back

    Ever thought about pulling a full disappearing act… new city, new name, new life?

    Yeah… we went there this week.

    Because let’s be real, sometimes life will have you READY to vanish. Burnt out, heart cracked, tired of being everything for everybody, and lowkey wondering, “What if I just… didn’t?”

    This episode? We’re unpacking that urge.
    The fantasy. The recklessness. The freedom.

    And babyyy… we’re telling REAL stories of people who actually DID IT. Just dipped and started over like the main character they are.

    But here’s the question nobody talks about
    Are you running away, or running toward something better?

    Let’s get into it.

    So tell me, if you could disappear TODAY… where you going? 👇🏾
