Jewels says she might be a bit of a hoarder when it comes to certain things, and even though haute couture is out of the question for most of us, we could all probably afford better quality if we bought less stuff.
But don’t underestimate the value of costume worthy clothing.

Jewels chats today with two lovely young men, Caden and Landon, about their social media business, theatre, dating apps, girlfriends, marriage... these guys are thoughtful, ambitious, busy... a far cry from the basement dwelling trolls and incels we hear about all too often.
Jewels says she really enjoys engaging with such bright young people and they're everywhere.

Jewels says live performances are worth supporting, whether they're music, dance, comedy or theatre and if more of us attended early shows, more shows would be available and we could all get to bed at a reasonable hour.
Yes, she's definitely getting old. Too old to accomplish anything heroic or start a night out after 9:00 pm.

Jewels says marriage should not be an aspirational goal, you don’t need a wedding to wear a dress and have a party if that’s really the point and there are a lot of good reasons to think long and hard before legally binding yourself to a partner. And a lot of stupid non-reasons that motivate some of us to do it anyway.
Plus the romantic story of her parents’ wedding day.

Michael Esposito II is back for the second half of our chat about some intrusive, even embarrassing thoughts we have, like checking people out, irrational worrying, parental fear of letting go, their children's safety... maybe you can relate.

Jewels says she hasn't quite yet come down to earth after Mamma Mia and shares some of the trials and favourite moments from both on stage and backstage.
Her experience was also a reminder that the world is still full of wonderful young people and you're never too old until you're dead.

Jewels says most of us don’t remember details as well as we think, it’s hard to remember everything you’ve said to whom and a child’s world today is very different from their parents’ and grandparents’.
Best to adapt rather than stubbornly clinging to old ideas and mistakes. It's better for us too.

Jewels says she sometimes doesn't understand why children think the way they often do, even though she was an irrational child herself once upon a time, and even though lice aren't a health risk, they're gross and caused her nightmares back in the day.
And it's possible that if a child looks excessively unkempt, people might subconsciously treat them as though they're not cared for.

Jewels chats with Kelowna Actors Studio Resident Music Director Spencer "appropriately named" Bach about his passion for playing, teaching, learning, listening to and sharing music and particularly musical theatre.
Thank you for the music. If lockdown taught us anything, it was the importance of art.
OH and is Spencer related to Johann Sebastian? We may never know.

Jewels says Kelowna has some pretty impressive sports and showbiz venues, and she especially appreciates the Kelowna Actors Studio's investment in the technical side of their productions. The tech team are the unsung heroes.

Jewels says even though the Canadian public health care system is better than nothing, and hospitalization probably won’t bankrupt you, it’s no day at the beach trying to get medical care for something relatively inconsequential.
And she loves having a chin again.

Jewels says love is blind - well, she's obviously not the first person to say that, but she AGREES that love is blind. When you love someone, even if that someone is a dog, they look so beautiful to you.
Plus a less than satisfying - but final - scam conclusion.

Jewels says JFL Montreal is BACK, even if on a small scale - mostly men though - and as pride month wraps up, the complainers might need to be reminded of what’s been happening to women’s reproductive rights that we’ve taken for granted, and if you don’t like what people post on social media, you are free to ignore it.
We all make mistakes and life isn’t fair, so we might as well relaaaaax and let things that annoy us go rather than amplifying them.
