Get out your dancing shoes and eye masks, those are the only 2 things you’ll need for this episode. Today Sofia welcomes entrepreneur and Dance Moms alum Kalani Hilliker! Kalani wastes NO time dishing on surviving reality television as a child and how that in turn inspired her to launch her business Kare by Kalani (because we love an ambitious Sloot). The ladies also give themselves a reality check and bond over being ‘D-list celebs’ at NYFW, along with practices they use to keep their sanity while still maintaining just the right amount of chaos in their lives. It’s all about balance right, Sloots?
