Around 57% of Gen Z aspires to be influencers, viewing it as a viable full-time career path. While there are millions of “influencers” globally, there are only a handful that reach Julianna Claire’s level of success, but as we learned in this episode, she’s not a fan of being called an influencer!

Julianna is a lifestyle creator and entrepreneur who has built a community of over 2.9 million followers on TikTok by sharing her signature blend of everyday organization, self-care, and stylish Amazon finds.

Known for her authenticity and approachable style, Julianna has turned her platform into more than just content—it’s a space for connection, inspiration, and elevating the everyday.

Before becoming a full-time content creator, Julianna graduated from West Point and served as an Army officer in Afghanistan, a journey that help shape her resilience and creativity. In 2018, she transitioned fully into the digital space, where she’s since launched her own self-care brand, ROAME, inspired by her daughter Roman.

We had the pleasure of trying out some ROAME products: perfectly packaged soap sheets, disposable toilet seat covers, hydrating hand sanitizer. They’re all TSA-friendly, beautifully packaged and cruelty-free. Needless to say we are ALL IN.

Do we feel old or young? Deanna’s ear is 90% clogged — and Emily finally used the NIRA face analysis tool, learning her skin reads older than her years on this fine earth. And yet, we still feel young!

We dish about Taylor Swift’s podcast debut — and the album that happens to be dropping on Emily’s birthday proving that the powers of manifestation are REAL.

Plus, we get into Karlie Kloss and how we wrote her off, but we shouldn’t have. Also, maybe Taylor shouldn’t have either? Will they ever be friends again?

And, Deanna breaks down the last moments of And Just Like That and her feelings about the surprising end to a decades long relationship we’ve collectively had with our gals.

Finally we get into two terms that have been popping up around us - side quest and fried. We got spun around with our terms and now need to reach out to a youth. We’ll get to the bottom of this!

Emily confesses her love for KPop Demon Hunters and Deanna shares a story about a 20-something who asked ChatGPT for marriage advice before her bff’s nuptials.

Did you know we were smack dab in the middle of the most potent time of the year to manifest? It’s known as The Lion’s Gate Portal, as Emily mentioned it peaks on August 8th but stretches through the 11th! What do we want more of? Career experiences, a deepening of relationships, a stream of cash, protein-powered biceps? LFG! This is the podcast we referred to: The Manifested Podcast With Kathleen Cameron

Plus, we dive into trying to up our protein intake (see biceps above) and the best weighted vests to purchase and sport around town.

And, we get into the meaning of the “golden retriever boyfriend.” We gush over our new favorite age-appropriate couple, Pamela Anderson and her golden retriever boyfriend Liam Neeson.

Plus, Deanna shares some powerful feelings about “And Just Like That” ending.

Deanna and Emily get into the Gen Z stare, the sneakerina and what it means to crack the rich bitch edit.

What is the Gen Z stare, why does it happen — and most importantly, should we be offended?

And, Deanna introduces the genius concept of the ‘Rich Bitch’ edit. You don’t want to miss it. Plus, we dive into these two very important red carpet lewks:

Megan Stalter’s Diet Coke red carpet dress

And Allison Janey who is crushing it with no pants:

Are we all ready for this? The ‘sneakerina.’ A mashup of ‘sneaker’ and ‘ballerina,’ is what the more feminine-shaped sneakers of late are being called.

In the same way that we weren’t quite prepared for Sneex - the sneaker high heel – we’re also a little spun by these sneaker ballerina slipper mashups.

Maybe from here on out, all shoes are just going to get sneakerfied and we just have to brace for it?

Plus, Deanna has some choice words for Gayle King!

Special shoutout to Bills Liquor in Atwater Village for letting Emily just waltz in and purchase a Labubu with zero muss or fuss.

Deanna and Emily dive into nostalgia tech — Disposable cameras anyone? Still have that old walkman?

We also try to wrap our minds around Labubu mania and the odd need to slap a toy on your very expensive handbag. We gotta wonder, is your Birkin not doing enough on its own?

This just in, Sardine summer is real. IRL Emily is basking on every version of coastal vibes on the east coast. Boat shoes, popped collars, and braided belts galore.

Deanna breaks down how to use the hand gestures for clock it and slay, and what they mean. And, we get into the finer usage of terms like we’re up, type-shit, and other subtle lingo necessary for watching Love Island.

Deanna and Emily have the great pleasure of sitting down with CEO and creator of NIRA David Bean, who dives into his laser obsession and the innovative handheld skincare technology he developed for NIRA.

We get into how the laser technology works to actually get rid of fine lines and wrinkles over time, the difference between the NIRA Pro and the latest NIRA Pro+, and how getting into a routine of using it daily actually helps to turn back the hand of time. Plus, we find out if anyone is ever “too old” to be helped by the laser.

If you are intrigued by the NIRA laser, please enjoy 10% off with code HTBLO.

We also learn about the NIRA app, which has a face skin analysis. This will show you what areas to focus on, including sun spots under the skin and wrinkles that you might not see yet. Why would you want to do this? So you know where to focus your NIRA laser — and track your improvement. Will it work?

The good news is David is also obsessed with clinical trials and FDA approvals, so he knows the science works.

Enjoy!

Deanna and Emily discuss the youthiness of the tushes out on Miami Beach, and the rudeness of changing of the meaning of simple emojis - we’re talking to you Gen Z.

Plus, we get into age appropriate dating and the breath of fresh air that is Meryl Streep and Martin Short who are living their best lives. Bill Belichick is giving us the ick, and we discuss how instead of blaming his youthful lady for having daddy issues, it’s time we start calling out men for their daughter issues. Here’s an appropriate emoji that says exactly how we feel about that: 🤮

We also dive into the new face of Kris Jenner and the highs and lows of plastic surgery. We wish Kris was just allowed to be celebrated for her natural aging face, but that was never on brand for the family. So she’s doing the MOST that can be done — and hats off, cause she’s doing it well.

And finally we leave you with what might be 2025s word of the year, but it’s too early to tell. We hash out everything slop.

Deanna and Emily discuss how plain old birthday suit nails can be a sign of being old since all the youths are running around with long painted tips. Plus, Deanna admits she pretended to know who Lucy Dacus was when her friend said she was taking her teens to see her perform at Radio City.

The accusations around Jared all started when DJ Allie Teilz found an old Facebook post from 2012 in which she remarked on an alleged unfortunate encounter with the Thirty Seconds to Mars crooner. Sharing it last week to her Instagram Story, it said:

* “You’re not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage at an M83 show… In a kilt.. And a snow hat.”

She claims she then quickly received “over 10 dms from other women saying Jared Leto tried to groom them when they were underage”.

Plus, we unpack some popular Italian brainrot images like Tralalero Tralalá, Chimpanzini Bananini, Bombardiro Crocodilo and Lirilì Larilà.

And we get down with some youthy terms like: chopped, thrapping, and ver embar (you know who you are, JARED LETO)
