Girls’ Night In – I Want To Be Entertained

1- Listen to Jessica Simpson’s audiobook “Open Book”

“Before you keep scrolling, you should know I had no prior affinity for Jessica Simpson. But WOW I was so engrossed by this audiobook (which she narrates!). She has such a compelling story, and spilled an absurd amount of tea about everything from the early 2000’s pop scene to her high-profile relationships. After finishing, I feel like we’re best friends!” Guest tip from: Becca Freeman, Co-hosT of Bad on Paper podcast
