Y'all – today’s episode features the first MAN to ever sit down at our BE MY NEIGHBOR table - Tommy Didario!     If you don’t know Tommy or haven’t watched him on your TV, he is a Host and on-air Lifestyle Expert that covers it all – from pop news, trends, fashion, grooming, wellness and fitness! Tommy is also a contributor on The Rachael Ray Show, a co-host of Amazon Live and known as one of GQ’s exclusive GQ Insiders, partnering with some of the biggest global brands.   We found this episode to be so refreshing with him as we sipped the tea (aka rosé) and dished on:    -         The “influencer” word and how Tommy went from organically managing two global social media accounts to his own -         How him and his husband Gio Benitez broke the internet with their Paris proposal -         Coming from a place of not saying NO, while not operating on fear
Tommy is totally our style – an all-heart, real person that puts in the work to make it happen. We’d love to hear your thoughts and if you have any questions for Tommy, we will send his way!   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Be My Neighbor Ep. 18: Authenticity is Always our True North with Tommy DiDario

Hey Y’all - We're Bevin and Brittney. Welcome to “Be My Neighbor.”&nbsp;Our neighborly duties are to provide real life solutions and practices that elevate and inspire, but also remind us to not take it all too seriously.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We’re real life neighbors that quickly learned that you simply cannot do it on your own, living in a competitive and fast paced environment like New York City.
We don’t just share the sugar, we serve up the real tea. Each week, we invite you into the apartment along with our metaphorical and literal neighbors to share advice on how we get through this thing called life.&nbsp;
From navigating relationships to building a career, we want you to recognize and embrace the best version of YOU.&nbsp;We want you to know that your “crazy” is ok,&nbsp;and that you’re definitely not alone.&nbsp;
Our door is always open, and we want you to know... we’ve got your back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We love nothing more than seeing our friends we’ve made through work, go on to accomplish big things. Britt met Hilary Sheinbaum over the years on numerous red carpets, fitness events and more. She has contributed to national, regional and online publications, including The New York Times, USA TODAY, Marie Claire, Travel + Leisure, New York Magazine, am New York, ELLE.com, Forbes.com and Yahoo.com (among many other outlets). You may have read her many “I Tried this for 30 Days Challenges or seen her speaking on TV on various celeb-related topics.  
On December 29th, she also just released her FIRST BOOK: The Dry Challenge: How to Lose the Booze for Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month!  We know, we know, this would normally not be for us, nor have we ever participated in any “DRY-anythings,” but as we head into the New Year, and Britt can’t drink ;), we couldn't think of a better person to get us in the right headspace and teach us the ways to successfully complete a dry month, along with the benefits of doing so. Her book is out NOW and if you’re looking to start 2021 off on a better, healthier foot, we highly suggest listening to this one! 
 In this episode we also cover why:   -Hilary’s process and the length of time it took to actually get her book published  -How abstaining from alcohol for one month contributes to brighter, fresher, younger looking skin.  -Thinking Outside the Box(ed Wine) – Activities, without Alcohol -D(N)UI – Dating (Not) Under the Influence — Date ideas beyond “going for a drink” and insights about how alcohol influences relationships (even marriages!)

Happy 2021: Jumping on the Dry Challenge

This week we’re excited to share our conversation with someone whose presence we’ve watched flourish over the years - the blogger, recipe developer, and author behind Erin Lives Whole, Erin Morrissey! 
Erin started Erin Lives Whole in 2017 as a place to share her own spins on creating healthier, feel-good foods.  She has since published two e-books, Sweet And Simple Six, and just recently, Simply Whole that profile recipes that are free of common allergens like gluten & dairy, and ‘lightened-up’ versions without any specific label.  
We love her honest, authentic approach in her stories and posts and her personal story is one that we could all relate to in some way. In this episode, we chat with Erin about how she overcame an eating disorder, how she remains confident in the public eye when everyone has an opinion, how she keeps herself inspired and how Erin built and launched her business, based on her passion for good, whole food and baking.  And of course, we could not resist the opportunity to ask her some of her favorite recipes.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we have part 2 of our 2 PART SERIES with one of Bevin's BFF's, Christine Symonds and one of her BFF's and PIC's, Jamie Greenberg. The two women are at the top of their games in the world of hair and makeup, respectively, working with Rashida Jones, Kaley Cuoco, Chelsea Handler… I mean, there are too many names to drop here.  AND the two mothers still find time to create the hilariously funny and wickedly smart podcast, The Make Down. 
On their podcast, the duo share conversations with people they consider masters in their craft to learn what makes them tick and what products keep them looking and feeling fresh and fabulous... it’s never a dull work day when these ladies have each other.
In this crossover episode, we chat about the challenges that come with running our own businesses and all the messy hard work that it really takes to make it look easy.  We dive deep into Jamie’s hot new cosmetic line, the Blighlighter!, her long journey to releasing a coveted new product, and Jamie and Teenie get us to share our favorite hair and makeup products that we’re really into these days.  Plus, stick around when the show is over to hear some bonus content… basically all the mayhem that took place before we went live.

It's Not the MakeUP - It's the Make Down - Crossover with The Make Down Podcast

If we were to look on the bright side of 2020, being environmentally conscious when it comes to the air we breathe and the products we consume, has become top priority.  That’s why we were so excited to have the Chief Marketing Officer of Boxed Water is Better, Rob Koenen, come on with us today. If you don’t know Boxed Water, or haven’t seen the white cartons firsthand, it is the first national company to offer a sustainable alternative to plastic water bottles. In his role, Rob is charged with expanding Boxed Water’s core message and empowering consumers to make a statement that “sustainability matters.”    We also couldn’t wait to get a hold of Rob as his marketing resume speaks for itself - he has built true lifestyle brands for companies in food, apparel and footwear. Rob’s extensive marketing and leadership experience for Boxed Water is rooted in story-telling with innovative campaigns that span multiple communication channels, and we’re so happy to be able to pick his brain when it comes to putting together true marketing campaigns that resonate and truly make an impact.    In this episode, we speak to building a brand, where to even begin and more specifically, 5 strategies that a company should be doing to build a trusted and believable brand name.  We also speak to our current environment situation – why all those LaCroix’s we drink are so bad for the environment and Boxed Water’s plan for the future.  This company is doing amazing things and we’re so happy to be on board.

Many Hands Make Light Work With Rob Koenen

Hey y’all - If you have recently seen a knitted blue yarn hat in your social media feed or on the news like we have, today we have the privilege of sitting down with the female founder that started this very important anti-bullying awareness campaign, #HatNotHate, Shira Blumenthal!  
Shira and Britt were connected through a mutual colleague who was raving about the #HatNotHate campaign, stemming off of October’s National Bullying Prevention month.  For those of you looking to start a campaign from the ground up, Shira walks us through how she did just that.  From having been a victim of bullying at one point in her life, she has truly put in the work and is hoping to impart others with the same wisdom she has gained by teaching others about bullying.  Also, if you're looking to do some good AND start a new hobby, she swears knitting is easy! 
Please support Shira's amazing cause: hatnothate.org Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
