Last week we released our episode about Fast Fashion and The True Cost movie. This week we're releasing our episode with Annie from The Enantiomer Project. Dr. Anne is a real-life scientist and a professor at a fancy university, but not one where there are galas every Friday. Her blog likes to present sewing patterns and projects as scientific experiments. And the results are almost always gorgeous.

Where do you shop? Do you know how your clothes were made? Where they were made? Who made them and how they were treated? Why are Forever 21, H&M, and other stores able to sell clothing at such low prices? The True Cost dives into the subject of Fast Fashion and how harmful it is for us. This documentary was an eye opener and cleverly done so. There is some optimism since we are now informed we can make changes in how we shop, where we shop, and what we support. We strongly recommend viewing The True Cost. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT FAST FASHION? TELL US ON COMROM.CO! -- As mentioned on previous posts, we've been watching a few documentaries for our#NonFicNov event. Listen in as we discuss Tig and Good Hair.

Let's delve into the beauty scene, specifically the ins and outs of natural hair for NonFicNov. What's natural hair? It basically means leaving your hair in it's natural state without heavily manipulating it with chemicals, heat, extensions, weaves, or anything else on a regular basis. For many African-American women, natural hair and hair, in general, has been a real sore point for a very long time. To prepare for our episode, we watched Chris Rock's Good Hair which educates the uninitiated and provides an outsider's view for those in the know. We will update you on the app's progress!

We were inspired by our discussions on the Rise of the Dystopian (political and environmental) to try a Dystopian themed F3 episode. The theme was basically How to Survive the Hunger Games with food, fitness, and fashion!
How to Survive the Hunger Games with Food:Katniss Everdeen ate some pretty good meals at the Capitol, so we made a few Hunger Games Inspired Meals for this episode's Customizable Cooking. Listen as Estee teaches Hadas what shortbread cookies are and find out which dish Lindsey's husband said is one of her best ever meals.
How to Survive the Hunger Games with Fitness:We want to be prepared in case the Hunger Games start soon. We would not survive, but now that we got our themed workouts we are going to...last a little while longer. Hey, not everyone can Katniss it up! Thanks to Blogilates and Neila Rey we might just stand a chance to get some sponsors with our Dystopian Survival Workout.
How to Survive the Hunger Games with Fashion:What Would Katniss Wear? We created our own Panem and Capitol-inspired outfits using Polyvore, discuss the pros and cons of flat shoes and high heels, and analyze a few complicated pieces of clothing. How DO you wear that Effie Trinket-esque bra? HOW WOULD YOU USE F3 TO SURVIVE THE HUNGER GAMES?
