Superfluous

Welcome to Superfluous with Alena and Jeanette!

These scrappy gals will be sharing only the best non-essential information with you! Through two vaguely related stories they will fill your head with facts you never knew you wanted, but deep down you really need. Only the good stuff. Just the froth. So get ready to be just a little bit smarter about something that probably won’t do you much good- Superfluous!
