Show Notes
This week on Chins & Giggles, Karina and Mayra get nostalgic, honest, and hilariously real as they talk about growing up Hispanic and all the things that came with it. From the “because I said so” parenting moments to the traditions, sayings, and habits that somehow followed them straight into adulthood, they unpack what they’ve kept, what they’ve left behind, and what absolutely did not make the parenting cut. They dive into how parenting has shifted for them, sharing sweet moments of one-on-one time with their kids and why intentional connection matters more now than ever. Then the conversation takes a turn into beauty and confidence- makeup at different ages, evolving personal style, and why embracing what feels good now matters way more than society’s outdated rules. It’s equal parts laughter, reflection, and relatable chaos, a reminder that you can honor where you came from while still choosing what works for the life (and face) you’re living today.

Hey now, hey now… this is what fall dreams are made of! 🍂🎃 This week on Chins & Giggles, we have Lizzie McGuire & Isabella (for of 😅) talking about wild headlines and confessions about Taylor Swift and gentle parenting. Plus, we’re putting limits on our kids’ Halloween candy like we didn’t grow up eating the entire bag 😂 LA’s heatwave is ruining our pumpkin patch aesthetic, so do we need to book a trip just to wear a sweater? Either way, we’re keeping the 2026 fall fashion vibes alive. We said what we said. And decluttering? Our new stress reliever. Clock it 🧹✨
SKINNYTOBER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT. Karina and Mayra are kicking off October with the Skinny Squad, and Krystal and Elizabeth are BACK in the studio… which means absolutely nothing is staying in the group chat. The Skinny Squad is telling ALL with juicy confessions, wild bedroom stories, spooky experiences that still need explaining, and a Haunted Edition of Would You Rather that gets progressively more unhinged. Secrets are spilled. Ghosts are discussed. Questionable decisions are revealed. Just another normal day with the Chins and Giggles studio! Grab your PSL, turn the lights down, and tune in… Skinnytober is officially here!
Happy first day of fall, queens! Except Mayra’s fall décor is still in storage because pregnancy said, “I’m the seasonal activity now.” This week, we’re dumping out our bags and confirming they are basically walking junk drawers, talking about the scary movies we absolutely refuse to watch, and making the questionable decision to react to one of the scariest movie trailers together. Spoiler: we were NOT ready for the jumpscare. And can we talk about how Halloween décor has basically disappeared?! It’s September and stores are already screaming MERRY CHRISTMAS. Like… can the pumpkins have their moment?! Fall is here, the vibes are confused, and so are we. New episode of Chins & Giggles is live!
