✨WATCH ON YOUTUBE ✨ This week we’re diving into everything from the latest pop culture bombshells to a raw, emotional moment that had us both in tears - three-year-old Luna's birthday card from heaven. We kick off with sport — the Warriors’ tough NRL finals exit, the Black Ferns’ win over South Africa, and the frustrating lack of media coverage they’re getting.
Then it’s a pop culture rollercoaster:
👑 Prince Harry’s quick meet-up with King Charles
🎤 Mariah Carey’s Video Vanguard Award + new album buzz
🎶 Hilary Duff’s music comeback
💘 Jennifer Aniston’s rumored romance with a hypnotist
💍 Liam Hemsworth’s engagement news
From there, things get deeply personal as we open up about a powerful birthday moment that left us reflecting on grief, love, and the reality of carrying on after loss. It’s one of our most honest conversations yet.
We also share what we’re vibing right now — from concert season hype (hello Electric Ave!), skincare obsessions, and a game-changing fake tan, to what we’re watching on Netflix. Plus, a few exciting things we’ve got coming up ourselves.
💌 Funny, emotional, and totally unfiltered — this is Bestie Boos at its realest.
