In this GRWM, I’m getting ready to heal my inner child (aka: doing the most comforting little pre-concert routine) and then going to see Aly & AJ—super last minute. Of course I’m also dealing with that classic “why is my skin breaking out right when I have plans?” moment because it’s my time of the month, which feels like it happens every single time I have something fun scheduled. Still, I’m romanticizing it anyway, because honestly… being a wine glass just elevates your routine and I highly recommend. This concert happened so fast because my birthday is on Monday, and I casually asked my boyfriend Chris if there was any way we could go. I took a nap and woke up to a text that basically said, “Happy birthday, we’re going to Aly & AJ,” which is the dream. Concerts have been my thing since my first one in 2013 (Taylor Swift’s Red Tour—literally life-changing), and now that I have adult money, I genuinely feel like it’s my responsibility to keep showing up for my younger self. Aly & AJ are such a huge part of my childhood—Disney Channel music video core—so this feels like checking another name off my inner-child list. The only chaotic part? Chris bought front row tickets and I don’t know their newer music yet… but I did listen to a few songs from their EP “More Silver” and I’m already obsessed. My forever favorite is “No One” because it instantly puts me back in my childhood bedroom where everything feels sunshine-and-rainbows safe.
