Our Thoughts on Influencers, Revolve Fest, and Social Media

05/13/22 • 58 min

Are people over influencers? Is it worth quitting your 9-5 to become an influencer? Why do we admire certain individuals over others? Are we sick of seeing advertisements on every social media platform? Should you meet your heroes? What downsides are there to growing a huge following?

There’s so much to discuss when it comes to influencer culture that we could have gone on for hours! We talk about the psychology of why we value influencers' opinions, problems within the world of brand partnerships, how accountable influencers should be for promoting products and experiences, what their lives might really look like behind the scenes and how the scene is continuously changing.

We also finally got a chance to catch up on what we’ve been up to! Allison has been spending a lot of time outside - walking, hiking and picnics in the countryside. Ceara is back from three weekends in Palm Springs after attending Revolve Festival, Coachella Weekend 2 and a big shoot for Beautiful Destinations.

He shares how he got started, tips for beginners and secrets he’s learned along the way. This was such a useful and informative episode but presented in a fun and interesting way!

Food! Grocery Lists, Go-To Meals, Favorite Restaurants and More

What an overdue episode! We could go on for hours about all things food but today we briefly touched on a bunch of topics from our grocery routines, how we make eating at home more appealing, appliances, funny food experiences, recommendations, go to meals, recipes and some of our all time favorite spots.

We realize food can be a touchy subject for many. We hope you have a good relationship with food but it’s important to know almost all of us struggle with our body image at some point. There’s good days and bad days and many in-between. Sending you love if this has been a really hard journey for you and we hope you find the help and resources you need.
