We Old: Deanna's Fall + Emily’s Frozen Middle Finger🖕🏻

Deanna shares the story of a fall that aged her a good 25 years! She “took air” and when she says she dented the trash can, she did NOT lie. After seeing this picture, it’s clear she’s lucky to be alive! Emily also feels old due to aching joints and a frozen middle finger. Take that WORLD. We discuss going 90s, the art of hanging out with others without your phone. Wild thought - leave it at home! Also, how did we survive those dirty, dirty pay phones in a world before hand sanitizer? That was the only way to get a ride back home from the mall. Are we stronger for it? We also get into the warning signs a man in your life is being indoctrinated into the sphere of mano. Here are some key things to know. * It starts slow and then builds* You might start to hear an odd comment here and there, usually presented as a joke - and then it stops being a joke* Negging, and trying to control you So if someone in your life starts to raise a couple red flags for you, its time for an all out intervention and review of their YouTube watch history. We are all in this together. Stay safe out there, ladies. Deanna raises an alarming concern that the post office might be going the way of the do-do bird. Maybe in honor of going 90s, pick up an old pen and paper and send a friend a good old fashioned letter or postcard this weekend. There’s nothing more thrilling than getting some unexpected snail mail. We also discuss an update about our pal Clavicular, who was recently arrested for battery charges in Ft. Lauderdale.From page six:An unnamed 19-year-old woman told deputies she had allegedly been battered by Violet Marie Lentz, 24. However, detectives determined that Clavicular “instigated the fight” and “posted it on social media to exploit the two women,” per the press release.He is also under investigation for a separate incident involving his alleged shooting of a dead alligator in the Everglades.

Are You Lowkenuinely Smashing That Insta Repost 🔁 Button ?

Deanna and Emily attempted to take “lowkenuinely” (pronounced Loh-KEN-yuh-win-lee) and “lowkentologicalowstate” (pronounced low-ken-toe-LOG-ih-kuhl-oh-state) out for a spin. They certainly had a better handle on “lowkenuinely” which — quick refresh — means being genuinely lowkey.What does being genuinely lowkey look like? Well, you are giving something your attention but in a lowkey fashion. Deanna was lowkenuinely looking to improve the lines on her chest so she did her research to find solutions but didn’t let it take over her life or ding her self-esteem. They also break down the power of the instagram repost 🔁: who actually receives it? Where does it go? Hard to say. But one thing is certain, tapping those sexy, mid-coital arrows allows them to wield their influence and flex a quiet power. As you’re doomscrolling - please be on the lookout for their little profile heads twirling and swirling at the bottom of a post. NIRA has just dropped the NIRA PRO 3. Here’s what’s new: silent vibration haptic feedback * 9-power levels * 75% more battery and faster charging! Get your NIRA Laser Here add CODE: HTBLO at checkout. No big deal but Emily has found herself on trend with Paris fashion week. What else is cooking at Paris fashion week? Seems beach braids, low slug-hairdos, check prints, faux fur and funky silhouettes are all the rage. Oh! And this was the peptide stack Emily’s co-worker is working with: BBC 157tb 500Copper GHKUCUMot C…. if you have a peptide stack you better share it immediately.

Was Ashley Tisdale Being a Millennial Jessica?

Deanna and Emily discuss the branding of the new “Karen” aka the millennial Jessica. Who is she? What does she wear? We Initially thought Jessica was randomly appointed, but this has been a very long new Karen name vetting process. Gen Z felt that the name Karen didn’t speak to them! In other generation divide news, we get into how Timothee Chalamet thanked Kylie at the Critics Choice awards and referred to her as his partner. Apparently, this was a big moment for the youths, and a big nothing burger for us olds. Emily also shares about tooth masking with nHA toothpaste, despite her dentist friend saying that its all hype. Deanna and Emily are prepared to take on the scientific research involved. NIRA LASER CODE: HTBLO for 10% off the incredible at home laser. Say Goodbye To Wrinkles With The At-Home Laser To Treat Wrinkles Around The Eyes + Mouth. And we get into the Ashley Tisdale mom group drama. Ashley was feeling left out — and instead of maybe addressing the group or chatting with her therapist, she took her story to a little known rag called New York Magazine. Was that a total Jessica move? Also, Emily shares that she heard Ashely had different political beliefs than some of the moms in the group — but since this recording has learned that might have been also a nothing burger. As for our friend who has worked with this mom group - she said Hill Duff is a queen worthy of all of our love. We will definitely take that with us on our journey forward. And, we talk about the trend of posting pics from 2016 — and some of our more absurd 2016 pics, like the one we used as the thumbnail for this post! And reminder — check your shredded Pecorino Romano! We hope you enjoy this episode. xoDeanna and Emily P.S. Don’t be afraid to head over to Apple podcasts and give us a review! (5 stars, duh!)

Streaming Into the New Year with a New Attitude

Full video unlocked to all our subscribers as a little gift from HTBLO. Wishing you cozy, happy and safe holidays! Deanna and Emily discuss Yondr pouches for cell phones. Used by school districts to make kids phones inaccessible to them during the day, this pouch supposedly puts their digital life on lock. But — the kids know how to hack it! Because of course they do! EMERGENCY VIRTUAL COZY FIREPLACE UPDATE! 🔥In last week’s post we provided you with a link to a subpar virtual cozy fireplace. Not one, but TWO superior YouTube fireplaces have entered the chat.Thank you Jason Micallef for doing the lord’s work and setting us straight. And this link will take you to a cozy winter in Paris. We also get into the Gwyneth Paltrow’s brand Goop! Apparently she’s been with us for 17 years — and she’s not profitable?! Was the aspirational clean lifestyle ever attainable? We don’t know. But we definitely try and noodle on why. Plus, we dive into Teen Vogue’s 50 best dressed of 2025 list, which covers a range of celebrities all 21-years-old or younger. What at first feels like a gift from the heavens, slowly becomes a shock to the system when we realize we only knowing a scant handful of these famous youths. Plus, who is that guy in the middle in the white v-neck sweater? Is he doing it for you? Not sure he’s Vogue top photo worthy in our books, but to each their own! Deanna wandered her way over to Truth Social and has come to report back what she found. Anyone else surprised at that ReTruths number? Seems tiny hands level small. Also, the Oscars are going to YouTube in 2029, which brings up two important questions: 1) Will the Oscars be behind a paywall? and 2) How is it almost 2030? That’s giving some sci-fi realness. We also unpack our frustration with streaming platforms. When will someone get all of our streaming platforms organized in a way that brings us back to content we forgot about!

AI Slop or Annie Leibovitz?

Are we feeling old or young? Deanna is sore from playing pickleball and Emily was happy to know her daughter’s 43770 reference, aka calculator speak for HELLO. We share our love for Teen Vogue, may she RIP. And we dive into the new Timothee Chalamet Vogue cover, which has a lot of people talking. This is Anna Wintour’s last cover at the helm, the photo was shot by Annie Leibovitz, and it’s feeling very different for our friends at Vogue. Does this speak to the future of the publication? But this is not the only image that has people talking recently! 5’10 Taylor Swift stepped out in 6” heels to have dinner with her 5’ friend Sabrina Carpenter. We also dive into the Italian beard style, which is a fade on your face and coiffed to the titties! And the stacked flare jeans trend - is it coming for us next? Will we be putting our barrel jeans in the garage sale pile to pick up a pair of stacked? Only time will tell. One thing we are certain of, neither of us will be sporting 6” heels. We also get into SKIMS and how they are not doing well by the planet or their workers quality of life, and how we wish that was not the case! SKIMS is about to launch a beauty line in 2026, and our fingers are crossed that their new EVP Diarrha N’Diaye can help ensure that better practices go into place.

We Get /srs With Meet the Mess

What a blast! We had such fun joining the ladies of Meet The Mess Jen Lancaster & Karyn Bosnak to unpack the Taylor Swift The Life of a Showgirl reactions. Our resident youth correspondent, Sarah, also crashed the party with her sharp (and very Gen Z) insights. A little about the Meet The Mess hosts: Jen is a prolific NYT best selling author, and Karyn penned the novel-turned-film What’s Your Number? starring Anna Faris.Video edition now streaming for paid subscribers 🎬In addition to “Taylor Talk” we discussed tone indicators on Reddit —-Did you know what those slashes were all about? /s: Sarcasm. Used when a statement might be misunderstood as serious./srs: Serious. Used to indicate that the following text is meant to be taken literally./gen: Genuine. Used to show sincerity or authenticity.Jen brought up that “sure” was voted the worst text response. Little did she know that a “sure” text is one of the only things we get our panties in a bunch about — as a partnership. And by we, we mean Deanna. Emily means it with love and light and Deanna receives a “sure” as a shot to the heart. Just today Emily “sure’d” her and they needed to do some repair. Would you like more collabs?

Our TikTok Side Quest Dented the Internet

Deanna and Emily discuss their latest TikTok shenanigans that had Deanna rolling down a busy sidewalk while Emily captured an artist at work. Come follow us on TikTok. Plus we dive into the “Great lock in” which asks us to set some meaningful goals before the old 2025 is a wrap so we can charge into 2026 ahead of the game. But it’s not just about goal setting, it’s also about PLANNING. And we dive into ear seeding, which Deanna describes as acupuncture’s cousin. You attach small metal magnets to pressure points along your ear and massage. What kind of health benefits can you expect? The ear seeding fans think it could help with weight loss, anxiety, insomnia and more. But don’t worry, we did buy ear seeding kits so we will get to the bottom of this. We also clear up our former confusion about the terms side quest and frying. We got REAL clear and so now you can be too. When you support our sponsors, you are supporting us at HTBLO!

🎧 What Being a Professional Content Creator Is Actually Like: Meet Julianna Claire

Around 57% of Gen Z aspires to be influencers, viewing it as a viable full-time career path.

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.

Are You Bread-y For It?

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! OMNILUX USE CODE: HTBLO10 for all Omnilux red light therapy products. Boost your collagen and your glow🌟( Deanna, Emily and Kim K. approve this message)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!
