On this week’s girlpodcast, we’re just girls talking about our girldinners, girlblogging, girlmath, the girlification of food and, well, everything. We discuss how the act of ‘girlblogging’ has conquered a niche sector of the internet, the uncanny cuteness of ‘girldinners,’ the predicament of ‘girlmath,’ and how we endorse ‘balletcore’ as the future of 2024. Tie a bow onto your headphones for this one!
