I have always been an advocate of leveling up your looks but I always prefer natural beauty and skin care. Nowadays, women wear too much makeup and filters that they do not look like that in person. I believe that skin care is the best investment when it comes to looks.

今期雪條和朱古力請了兩位返場嘉賓雪糕和可樂上來一起討論獨立的人格是怎樣的，社會對獨立女性的定義是不是讓我們覺得我們就應該孤獨終老？我們會不會在嘗試走向獨立的時候過分苛刻自己而變得迷失？迷失的時候我們是怎麼面對的？

Charities: good or bad?
The number of charities in the UK is enormous, with more than 600 registered cancer charities alone, and more than 200 charities for homeless people in London. Most of these charities depend on donations to raise money, and often on volunteers  to do the work. While the passion of so many people who want to help is wonderful, this situation is not ideal. More and more charities are now doing similar work and competing with each other for money. As a consequence, they are forced to spend more on marketing, rather than actually helping people. This means some people are losing confidence in charities and giving them Less money. What should society do about this?
