Internet Privacy, Fruity Jewels & A Very Specific Thirst
SoMo continues her reign as our lust correspondent
For a brief moment we considered titling this episode “Things SoMo laughed at on the internet this week”, but that would have been shortchanging ourselves! We also got our aura’s photographed, ate our body weight in pasta at our new favourite restaurant, and spent some time deep-diving on Dolly Parton and SoRo’s new favourite root vegetable. All that and some great TikTok recommendations are below (we definitely have the range). Get going!
Listener Reccomendations:
Thanks to Jane & Gabi for recommending the Ethique shampoo bars via insta. You can check them out at Priceline. Jane rates the Heali Kiwi shampoo and the Wonderbar conditioner in particular

Radishes! The best summer root vegetable! A crunchy, fresh, peppery delight! Try them in a pickle, a raita, with whipped butter and sea salt, or hot butter and za’atar.
SM
Allllll the pasta at Ragazzi! A new pasta bar by SoMo’s handsome husband Scott and the team behind Dear Sainte Eloise and Love Tilly. (If Highly Enthused were a restaurant it would be this restaurant).

Knickers are totally a loophole in SM’s shopping ban, especially as she found the perfect seam-free option. She got the AIRism Ultra Seamless High-Rise Brief while she was in Korea. (We don’t think they’re available in Aus currently :( )
