Girl World #8: Queen Bey, Taylor Workouts, Gen Z Trends, Practical Magic House, Connection, Being Messy, New Music Highlights and All Things Halloween

The big news that popped last night is Beyoncé is performing and supporting VP Kamala Harris at a rally tonight in Houston. We’re dying for a Beyonce performance and can’t wait to see it. At publishing, the details haven’t been shared yet, but we recommend checking out mainstream media and following the VP’s social media to watch. Kamala’s team actually livestreams a lot of their events on Instagram so if Girl World was a betting girlie (hint—we are. you should be too.), we’d start there. Beyonce has a new fragrance called Cé Lumière out and we can’t wait to try it. The Beyhive gotta support.

Our girl Taylor Swift is in New Orleans the weekend. What a fun city to pick for the weekend before Halloween. Also, how on brand and thoughtful is that? We’re not surprised. She’s a mastermind, after all. If you’re going to go to NOLA, Halloween is a perfect time given all of the local lore.

On the Taylor Swift note, we discovered Eras Tour themed workouts on YouTube. It’s such a fun way to move your body, which is the ideal! Working out shouldn’t make you miserable. If you haven’t found your activity yet, keep exploring and trying new workouts and classes. It could be as easy as walking every night after work—or dancing to Taylor Swift (or Bey or Sabrina Carpenter or Olivia Rodrigo).

💌 The Weekly 6

1. Cosmopolitan released Club Cosmo’s 2024 Honorees celebrating the most beloved Gen Z creators, brands, and trends pushing the culture forward right now. We loved seeing one of our favorite female-founded brands: Kin Euphorics.

2. What impresses Esther Dyson? Making Mistakes and Messes.

3. Zoe Saldaña’s Variety feature highlights exhaustion, rededicating to her artistry, and the power of women. #TeamZoe since Center Stage.

4. The secrets behind the Practical Magic house that we all want to live in.

5. We’re in need of more connection. Could this piece about indigenous tribes connecting through food and social eating provide us some insights on where to start?

✌️ What We’re Doing This Weekend

It’s Halloween weekend, which means we’re going full spooky season: grabbing Burger King’s Addams Family purple bun burger, going to an annual Halloween party, and catching up on podcasts while hot girl Halloween walking.

Are you going on hot girl Halloween walks? It’s basically being your hot self walking around in the evening looking at Halloween decorations in your neighborhood. Groundbreaking, right?

We’re also baking a few Halloween treats like these cute baked Halloween donuts and doing a not-that-scary Halloween movie marathon. We’re talking Hocus Pocus and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Not horror. No thank you.

Let’s chat podcasts though. Here’s a few podcasts we’re listening to lately: Fashion People, A24 Podcast, Hysteria, Life with Marianna, and Pretty Smart.

Happy Halloween, girlies. We’ll see you in November!
