New year, new theme, same US! Queenagers Lisa and Erin bring you what’s in/out for 2024 (you’ll never take away our leggings!). What the Pantone colour of the year is meant to evoke and how to ease it in. A painful device was actually a welcome Christmas gift for Erin, while Lisa’s literally doing some pruning this year, given she’ll have more time with her social media semi self-exile. Ooh - don’t forget: Mon Jan 15 at 6 pm ET it’s our first FB Live event.

Thank you for being there, and sharing in our thoughts. Please feel free to share yours, too. #MatthewPerry #loss #grief #anger #Friends #podcast

For our 35th, is THIS time the real New Year's for you, too? Plus, an idea that brought a true lightbulb moment for Erin (and maybe for you), cool use for AI that could save lives, PSL and media being manipulated, that time in NYC that Lisa could have inspired a Law and Order episode and a WHOLE BUNCH more. Grab your mug, or lace up and take us along - and THANK YOU for fueling us every single week! PLEASE tell your friends about G&F and share the fun. #CanalStreet #shopping #queenagers #September #PSL #NewYears #podcast #fun #laughter #inspiration #ideas #destinationaddiction #happiness
