💥 Whether you're a size 2 or 22, your body tells a beautiful story. And babe—you are good enough for YOU. 🧡

In this glitter-drenched episode, Angie & Shelly relive their wildest and weirdest Vegas adventures—from WPPI photo conventions to Margarita Miles, concussion drama, stolen spoons, and silent discos. Vegas in your 50s is definitely not what it was in your 20s… but it might just be better (with more naps and fewer regrets).

🎰 Vegas Then vs. Now – Clubbing in your 20s vs. calculating how far two casinos really are in miles. Spoiler: it’s farther than you think.

🍹 Margaritas by the Yard & Sticky Toffee Crimes – The drinks are stronger, pricier, and apparently come with complimentary memory loss (and sticky spoons).

🕺 Silent Disco Shenanigans – Angie discovers her calling in multi-DJ headphone chaos and becomes a lip-syncing legend without headphones.

👵 Vegas Mishaps at Midlife – Shelly wakes up on a hotel bathroom floor (she’s fine!), and both ladies realize they’ve officially become the “fun drunk old ladies” of the casino floor.

👰 Weddings, Tattoos & Wild Ideas – From blackout bridal suggestions to blacklight mini golf in a Kiss-themed lair, we’ve got stories for days.

💥 Debauchery or Debauchery? – A heated debate (still unresolved) on how the hell you pronounce that word.

🎤 The Sin City Recap – Whether you’re going for the shows, the gambling, the food, or just to let your alter ego fly free, Vegas still delivers. Just maybe bring Advil and sensible shoes.

From travel and financial freedom to owning your worth and setting boundaries, this episode is all about celebrating what makes this stage of life so damn good.

In This Episode: ✨ The Best Parts of Aging – More freedom, more travel, more time for what (and who) you love. ✨ Grandkids Are the Best… Because You Can Send Them Home – Why being a grandma is the ultimate gig. ✨ Owning Your Worth – Saying no, setting boundaries, and finally knowing what you want. ✨ The Worst Parts of Aging – Hot flashes, brain fog, and discovering new aches every morning. ✨ Manifesting Like a Pro – How Angie actually makes her dreams happen. ✨ What We Wish We Knew in Our 20s – If only we had known this back then… ✨ Why We Refuse to “Act Our Age” – Maturity is overrated, and we’re here to prove it.
