  • 90s Nostalgia: Dial Up the Feels and Pour the Dunkaroos Dip (It's a Thing, We Swear)
    Remember when the internet was accessed through dial-up screeches and your biggest fashion concern was whether your butterfly clips matched your slap bracelet? Buckle up, because this week we're popping the cork on a bubbly trip down memory lane – straight to the glorious (and slightly cringeworthy) decade of the 90s!
    Get ready for a full-on nostalgia attack as we reminisce about everything from the childhood snacks that probably stunted our growth (looking at you, Dunkaroos) to the TV shows that shaped our pop culture vocabulary.
    This episode is a love letter to:
    The golden age of sugary snacks: From Dunkaroos to Gushers, we're revisiting the questionable culinary delights that fueled our childhood sugar rushes. Warning: may cause cravings and a sudden urge to raid the nearest convenience store.
    TV shows and movies that defined a generation: From “Lion King" to "Thumbelina," we're diving deep into the iconic shows that we practically lived and breathed (and maybe secretly still marathon on streaming services).
    Activities that kept us entertained before the internet: Remember dial-up internet and waiting for those pixelated images to load? We're reminiscing about the pre-social media days, when our imaginations ran wild and Furby was the peak of entertainment.
    And of course, no episode is complete without:
    Random tangents: We may get sidetracked reminiscing about our favorite gel pens or debating the merits of Pokemon cards, but hey, that's the beauty of nostalgia!
    Wine of the week
    Favorite songs of the week: Get ready for a 90s music throwback!
    The 90s may be over, but the memories (and questionable fashion choices) live on! So grab a glass of bubbly, crank up your favorite 90s playlist, and join us for a hilarious and heartwarming journey back to a simpler time.
    Remember to subscribe, rate, and review us on your favorite podcast platform! We love hearing from you, especially your most embarrassing 90s fashion choices (don't worry, we won't judge… much).

  • Why Your Friendships Deserve the Same Effort as Your Relationship (Part 2 of 3)

    Remember that time you accidentally ghosted your best friend because, well, being in your 30s is hard?  Yeah, us too. This week, in part two of our 3-part friendship series, we're popping the cork on how to maintain and deepen those precious friendships. Because let's face it, life gets messy, and sometimes our besties get unintentionally pushed to the back burner (sorry, not sorry, Netflix queue).

    This episode is all about:

    • Dating your friendships: Yes, you read that right. Turns out, the effort you put into a romantic relationship can (and should!) be applied to your friendships too. We're talking quality time, thoughtful gestures, and maybe even a little flirting (just kidding... mostly).

    • Vulnerability: the secret weapon of strong friendships: Ditch the emotional armor and embrace the power of sharing your true feelings, even the messy ones. Remember, your friends are there to celebrate your wins and hold your hand through the inevitable meltdowns (because trust us, they'll have their own meltdowns too).

    • Friendship adventures: level up your squad goals: Remember that epic road trip you always talked about taking? Time to dust off those plans! Shared experiences, whether it's a weekend getaway or simply trying that new karaoke bar, can strengthen your bond and create lasting memories (and maybe a few embarrassing stories).

    • Our biggest surprise: We were shocked (shocked!) to discover how similar our friendship advice is to our relationship advice. Turns out, healthy communication, quality time, and a sprinkle of spontaneous fun are the cornerstones of any strong connection, regardless of the label.

    • Our wine of the week

    • Favorite songs of the week


      • Remember, strong friendships are like good wine: they take time, effort, and maybe a little bit of fermentation to reach their full potential. So raise a glass to your squad, embrace the messy moments, and don't be afraid to "date" your friends.

    • How to find friends in your 30s (Part 1 of 3)

      Calling all the girlies feeling nostalgic for sleepovers and spontaneous adventures with your besties!

      Remember when making friends was as easy as sharing your Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper? Yeah, us neither. But fear not, bubblers, because this week on Everyday Bubbly, we're kicking off a three-part series dedicated to the glorious (and sometimes awkward) world of friendship in your 30s.

      Buckle up as we dive into why strong friendships are more important than ever in this decade, even when life throws curveballs like demanding careers, ever-expanding schedules, and the sudden urge to gift everyone a porch goose (no judgment).

      We'll be spilling the tea on:

      • Why friendships are the secret sauce to a happy (and sane) life in your 30s: Turns out, having a solid support system is like having a built-in therapist, cheerleader, and personal hype squad all rolled into one (and way more fun than adult coloring books).
      • The myth of "adulting" killing your social life: We'll bust the myth that making new friends after college is impossible. From book clubs to volunteering, apps to old-fashioned "hey, wanna grab coffee?", we'll share our top tips for expanding your social circle, no matter how introverted you think you are.
      • Our friendship origin story: Prepare for some embarrassing (and hilarious) anecdotes as we share how our own friendship blossomed (spoiler alert: it wasn't exactly love at first sight). This serves as a reminder that first impressions can be deceiving and sometimes your future BFF is the person you initially judged for wearing socks with sandals (we've all been there).

        • And of course, no episode is complete without our wine of the week and our favorite songs of the week (because a good soundtrack makes everything better, even friend-finding struggles).

        So, whether you're feeling like your social circle is shrinking faster than your patience with dating apps, or simply want to reminisce about the good ol' days of friendship bracelets and sleepovers, this episode is for you. Join us as we celebrate the power of friendship and remind you that you're never too old to find your tribe.

      • Love Bites (But We Have the Cure): Our Guide to Not Screwing Up Your Relationship (Mostly)

        Calling all lovebirds, singles on the prowl, and everyone in between! This week, we're diving headfirst into the murky (but oh-so-sparkly) waters of relationships. Buckle up, because we're serving up our best advice with a healthy dose of snark (because let's face it, love isn't always sunshine and rainbows). ️

        We'll crack the code on love languages, dissecting what they are, how they work and how we give and receive affection (spoiler alert: it's not always through grand gestures and expensive gifts, but those definitely don't hurt). Plus, we'll each share the one piece of relationship advice we absolutely cannot stand.
        And of course, no episode is complete without our wine of the week and favorite jams (because even love needs a soundtrack, right?).
        So, whether you're a love pro or a clueless Cupid, this episode is your guide to navigating the hilarious chaos of relationships. Remember, even if you stumble and fall (trust us, we've all been there), a little bubbly and bad advice from your favorite besties can always help you get back on your feet (and maybe even find your happily ever after).
        So grab your partner (or your imaginary future soulmate, no judgment!), pop open a bottle, and get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even shed a tear (of laughter, obviously) with Everyday Bubbly! ✨
        P.S. Don't forget to subscribe or come say hi on Instagram and YouTube! We love hearing from you, even if it's just to tell us how much you wish you were on this love-fueled adventure with us.

      • Birthday Cake & Pura Vida: Allegra Turns 33 in Costa Rica

        Another year older, another glass (or two!) of bubbly raised, and this time, Taylor and Allegra are taking you on a birthday adventure you won't forget. Buckle up, because we're celebrating Allegra's 33rd trip around the sun in style... Costa Rican style, that is!

        First things first, let's dissect the wisdom (and maybe a few regrets?) Allegra gleaned from her previous year. What are the lessons learned, the goals achieved, and the questionable decisions made that deserve a toast?

        Then, get ready for a plot twist worthy of a telenovela: Allegra jetted off to Costa Rica for someone else's wedding... on her own birthday! Was it a recipe for FOMO or a travel revelation? We spill the beans on the most surprising things about this tropical paradise, how long is really enough to experience it all, and whether Allegra would trade her solo birthday soirée for a do-over.


        So grab your bubbly (or your beverage of choice), settle in for some laughter, and get ready to be inspired by Allegra's birthday adventure that proves sometimes, the best celebrations are the ones you didn't expect.


        Show Notes:

        • Allegra's birthday reflections: What did she learn? What did she achieve? What did she, uh, maybe regret?
        • Travel in Costa Rica: Pros, cons, and the surprising things you learn.
        • Wedding guest, birthday girl, world traveler: How did Allegra navigate this unique situation?
        • Is Costa Rica worth the hype? We break down the must-sees, must-do's, and how long you really need to experience it all. ️
        • And of course, there's bubbly! We raise a glass (or two) to celebrating life, adventures, and embracing the unexpected.

          • Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Everyday Bubbly! Or you can visit us on Instagram or Youtube! We love hearing from you, and your feedback helps us keep the bubbly flowing. ✨

          Taylor and Allegra are back in action after a slight bout of sickness (thanks Disney World!) and start the episode sharing how they got back to feeling better and cheersing to king cake season… which leads into a comical spiral that somehow ends with immaculate conception and giving birth at six flags (you'll have to listen in to hear how we get from point A to point B).

          Highlights include Allegra's disbelief on Taylor's extensive morning routine (their mornings couldn't be more opposite), sharing habits they have for their productivity throughout the week, and Allegra's budgeting routine that is helping her curb her newfound affinity for Disney merch.
