Live from our post-Carnival haze — sun-kissed, slightly disoriented, and still picking glitter out of places glitter should never be — we’re back with our very first video episode. We just survived Carnival in Rio, and we have thoughts. Lots of them. About romance, regret, reinvention — and why Posto 9 might actually be heaven. Here’s what we’re diving into: • How many people did we kiss? Let’s just say… more than one, less than a scandal 💋 • The best Carnival parties • The art of staying safe in Rio when everything is chaos • Life on a boat — minimalist, wet, surprisingly profound • Why everyone in Rio looks like they’re prepping for a Vogue cover • Emotional hangovers and how to handle them • Rewriting our relationship standards • Birdie’s birthday • What’s next — because you know we’re not done This one’s messy, honest, and unexpectedly grounding. Just like Carnival.

Live from Ipanema Beach, two and a half weeks into our Brazil adventure, we’re sweaty, slightly sunburned, and full of stories. From record-breaking heat (63 degrees of pure, unforgiving "sensation") to navigating Brazil’s kissy kissy culture, this episode is a pre-carnival fever dream. We’re covering it all: * The hottest thing in Rio right now? The temperature. It’s insane. ❤️‍🔥 * The other hottest thing? Brazilian bodies. Why is everyone so shredded? Are we missing a national fitness memo? * Going out in Brazil – the parties, the chaos, the questionable decisions * Birdie’s strategy for kissing in Brazil (a masterclass in romantic efficiency) * Surfing in Brazil – why it was incredible & the surf school you need to check out 🏄🏽‍♀️ * Bella’s hospital visit (again… what is it with her and foreign hospitals?) 🏥 * Our expectations for Carnival in Rio – will we survive it? * And, the big question: How many people did you kiss in one day? 💋 Oh, and if you’re looking for a surf school that won’t make you cry salty tears into your caipirinha, check out Meninas do Mar [https://www.instagram.com/meninasdomar] in Itacaré.
