Young Adulting

Happy Galentine’s Day! We are celebrating this girl power holiday by going on a friend-date and of course, hanging out with you! We are answering the age old question… “How the F do I make friends as an adult?!” Plus, how to set boundaries with friends, balancing boyfriends and gal pals, how cupcakes can mend friend fallouts, and how to have a successful long-distance friendship. Also in this episode, Becca is obsessed with her new Halogen sweater, and Grace is loving the Instagram account History Cool Kids.   Sponsors: LOLA: for 40% off all subscriptions, visit mylola.com and enter code BOP at checkout Care/of: use code BOP to 25% off your first month of personalized vitamins at TakeCareOf.com   Can't get enough Bad On Paper?

In this episode, we sat down with Jared Freid, a prolific podcast host, dating expert, and standup comedian! We couldn't stop laughing the entire episode! We ask all of your dating questions, including what to say to people who claim you are "too picky" and why ex still watches your Instagram stories.  Also in this episode, Becca finds out that her dream job exists (there are people who write Lifetime movies as their full time job?!), Jared is obsessed with TLC (the TV network... not the girl group), and as always, Grace is obsessed with Dunkin' Donuts!

It’s our first book episode of 2019! Today we are talking about Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. We loved it! It’s a little bit Gossip Girl and a little bit Pretty Little Liars or Paper Princess. This book is soap opera-level drama and it has a twist so good, even Grace didn’t see it coming! We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this book. Speaking of books, Grace finished her tenth book of 2019 this weekend, while Becca finished her seventh. Also, Grace has resolved to only buy books from bookstores, and Becca can’t stop buying cookbooks! Also in this episode,  we read our favorite review we’ve ever gotten (TexasListener101… we’re looking at you!) where we were compared to Sex and the City characters. To top it all off, Tyrion is ultra stoned on catnip!  Can't get enough Bad On Paper? Join our FB group for amazing book recs & more Follow us on Instagram @badonpaperpodcast

In this episode, we get to hang with BET style director Danielle Prescod, and we are obsessed! She is a self-proclaimed over sharer so this episode was extra fun to record! Danielle is a pop-culture expert, style icon, and fitness enthusiast. We asked her all your questions in a fun lightening round (including tips on how to take the best selfie and of course, DATING) and she walks us through her career thus far, and how she ended up at BET!  Also in this episode, Becca and Danielle decide to have a SoulCycle date, and Grace can’t stop binge-watching You (and she is creeped out). Don’t forget to read our first book club pick of the year, Little White Lies, by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. We can’t wait to talk about it next week!   You can find our friend crush at @danielleprescod!  Can't get enough Bad On Paper?

This episode we're discussing our adult book of the month, Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, by Jo Piazza! We LOVED this book. It's simultaneously such an important book (it's the first fiction book about a woman running for office), but it's also a light, easy read. This book sparked some important conversation (We were nervous to talk about politics here!)  Join us next week for advice, and in two weeks for our YA Pick... Children of Bone and Blood!

This episode we're discussing our YA book of the month, Save the Date by Morgan Matson. This is the cute story of a big family, + a wedding where anything and everything can go wrong. Spoiler alert (though you probably already guessed it) Becca loved it, Grace was just meh.  This episode made us nostalgic! It gave Becca big family envy and made Grace think about the nice boys she dated in high school. Oh, to be young! Join us next week for advice, and in two weeks for our "adult" pick: Charlotte Walsh Likes To Win - we both really loved this book and can't wait to chat about it.   Can't get enough Bad On Paper?

This episode we're discussing our "adult" book of the month, Ghosted by Rosie Walsh. Sarah and Eddie fall in love, and then he bails. But what really happens? Turns out they both have some pretty big secrets. There are a few twists in this one (which we didn't see coming), and it inspired us to talk a little bit about dating in New York (it's a battlefield). We both share our best (worst?) stories of being ghosted. We recorded this episode while on vacation in Morocco. This was one of the best trips either of us have taken and we spill all the details in the post! We are taking a two week hiatus but will be back on September 26th with an advice ep! In the meantime, our next book is Save the Date by Morgan Matson. Can't get enough Bad On Paper? Join our FB group for amazing book recs & more Follow us on Instagram @badonpaperpodcast

We're headed to Morocco today, so we have travel on the brain. Not to mention, we both have a serious case of wanderlust, generally. This week, we're answering all your travel questions — from the best apps for flights, our top destinations to travel next, and our packing strategy (or in Becca's case, lack thereof)! In other news, Grace almost couldn't go on this trip because of her passport drama, Becca's work life had a real turnaround (from low to high in one week), and Grace has a new style inspiration (Dads and retirees?).

This episode we're discussing our YA book of the month (even thought it's not really YA if you ask us), Circe by Madeline Miller. While a knowledge of Greek Mythology is definitely not mandatory to enjoy this book, if you loved mythology in school (we did!) this book will feel like a deeply personal reunion with all your mythology favs. We loved this book!!! We recorded this episode in Grace's parents' living room on Cape Cod. Cape Cod was both of our highs of the week - Grace came for a week and Becca came for the weekend. So nice to get a little sunshine and relaxation! Join us on August 22nd for our next Book Club to discuss Circe by Madeline Miller. And we will be putting out a call on Instagram for questions for our next advice episode! Can't get enough Bad On Paper?

This week, we're answering all your NYC questions — whether you live here and need a new spot for a girls night out or you want to plan the best visit ever, we have so many recs! But otherwise, everything sucks... Grace's computer saga continues, Becca has the flu, and we have a few haters. Thank goodness we have some good book recs to get us through! Join us on August 22 for our next book club discussing Circe by Madeline Miller (and to see if Grace can figure out how to pronounce the title!) Can't get enough Bad On Paper?

This episode we're discussing another "adult" (not YA) book, All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin. She is one of our favorite authors and we both felt the same way. We didn't know if we'd like it, but we LOVED IT!!! Also in this episode: Becca's Mexico City adventure (spoiler: she might move there), Grace's recent streak of bad luck (RIP laptop), our instagram obsessions (@thatlinearttho and @sheisnotlost), and much more.
