  • I'm sure it's a biological instinct to care about what we look like, to sort of be concerned about our appearance.

  • However, I feel like since the inception of social media, our collective obsession with our appearance has steadily increased to the point that we're at now where it's peaking in a way that I don't think anyone could have anticipated.

  • Unless you're really not on the internet and you don't live in a big city where the zeitgeist is quite literally in front of you at all times.

  • It is abundantly clear that as a society, we are more obsessed with our appearance than we've ever been before in a way that is arguably concerning and can at times even be dangerous.

  • This came onto my radar, I think, for a few reasons.

  • Number one, because I spend a lot of time in big cities, therefore I see with my own eyes what's going on trend-wise.

  • But also because...

  • This is such a relevant topic of conversation that even though I don't really scroll on the internet very much these days, it's still made its way onto my radar.

  • Lastly, because I think the industry that I work in, entertainment, plays an integral role in sort of the beauty standards and beauty trends and so on and so forth.

  • I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode of Anything Goes is presented by Walmart.

  • Summer's back, baby, which means a whole new wardrobe.

  • Thankfully, you can find trends that speak to you for less at Walmart.

  • You know, for me, summer is about simplicity and comfort because warm weather is pleasant, but only if you dress properly for it.

  • So I'm trying to wear breathable but cute clothing all summer long.

  • From casual hangs to vacation, Walmart's the place to find all your summer pieces.

  • Think chic eyelet styles, breezy dresses, it-girl shoes, vibrant colors, and more.

  • Shop the hottest summer trends and new drops at walmart.com slash trends.

  • That's walmart.com slash trends.

  • Now back to the episode.

  • As I'm noticing this happen societally, I, on a personal level, am having the opposite experience.
