Ep 32 - Mower Etiquette & Swimsuit Rage

Commune or Cult? And the Audacity of Door-to-Door Sales

Is it a commune, a cult, or just the dream of living near people you actually like? This week on Neighbors Neighboring, Amber and Jen are back in the neighborhood group chat to discuss queenagers, modern communal living, eco-enclaves, kibbutz energy, and whether the “wellness community” is one charismatic founder away from becoming suspicious. Neighborhood Court is in session for a wild story about a North Carolina neighborhood overtaken by vultures after one couple "allegedly" fed the birds food scraps and even a deer carcass. Naturally, this leads to a full ruling on bird feeders, wildlife feeding, backyard animals, crows, cardinals, seagulls, ducks, and Jen's rage against all birds. Amber also brings a Sidewalk Side-Eye involving a mysterious assessment notice followed by the audacity of a door-to-door pest control salesperson who insulted neighbors, refused to leave, and asked one man if he was “not the breadwinner.”

Peach Truck Mania & a Bounce House Betrayal

Is The Peach Truck worth the hype... or is it just seasonal fruit with excellent marketing? Amber and Jen turn suburban life into relatable banter as they dig into Peach Truck obsession including the loyalists, the parking lot pickup culture, and one very personal grudge involving Peach Truck traffic and a missed eyebrow appointment. Then the neighborhood drama escalates with a wild story about a birthday party, a bounce house, and a neighbor accused of unplugging the inflatable while kids were still inside. Also in this episode: the mystery of “The Lobster Times,” airport phone-call oversharing, adults at children’s birthday parties, CPR skills, grocery store heroics, and why liking someone’s Instagram post is basically a tiny emotional support hug. Follow Neighbors Neighboring for suburban storytelling, neighborhood drama, and everyday chaos taken way too seriously (in the best way possible).

Block Party Beginnings

Real life. Real opinions. From the people next door. Welcome to Neighbors Neighboring, where hosts Amber and Jen,  two neighbors (and friends) take everyday life way too seriously - in the best way. From lifestyle debates and social norms to friendships, family dynamics, pop culture, and the small moments that somehow turn into big opinions, nothing is off-limits. Real conversations that explore connection, community, and friendship. The drama may be real, but so are the laughs—let’s get this block party started.

Ep 35 - Small Talk & The Street Tree Survey

Hey, neighbors. Join us for a recap of Bryan’s fabulous 50th birthday and the Blood Cancer United gala. We're also getting ready for our disco murder mystery in WVA Manor - wigs, glitter, accents. We're ALL IN. (visit https://www.mymysteryparty.com/ [https://www.mymysteryparty.com/] to bring the party to your own street) We also take a hard look at public FaceTime etiquette (BIG NO), the unreliability of No-Wait apps and hard-to-get donuts (will we wait...or won't we). But, neighbors, the star of this show is our township's street-tree survey. You're not going to want to miss this hard look at suburban arborism and the opinions that separate us all.

Ep 34 - Skin Health & Aesthetic Procedures with SkinLaB

Hey, neighbors. This week, Amber and Jen are joined by Mistica and Melissa from SkinLaB for a hilarious and helpful conversation about skin health, aesthetic procedures, skincare myths, and why we all need to be de-influenced just a little bit. And if you're watching on YouTube, yes, that's rosé in our glasses.   Jen is radiant after her recent microneedling session and Amber is loving her laser experience. We talk SPF, washing your face, Botox, dermaplaning, and the difference between chasing trends and making smart, personalized choices for your skin.  SkinLaB shares some fave skincare essentials: •A good quality vitamin C serum (Skinceuticals CE Ferulic is their favorite and is the most well-studied) •Retinol (Skinbetter AlphaRet Overnight is a great place to start) •Mineral SPF (any brand you like as long as it has zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. Zinc percentage ideally should be 10% or more) You can add in other active ingredients as needed depending on individual skin problems and goals, but this is the best place to start!
