hi! im juliana!

Since you're here to get to know me, let's dive a little deeper than just the facts! Many of you are curious about what a “get ready with me” looks like in my world, and while every day is different, I love sharing how I blend my passions into my personal style and routine. On a typical homebody day, you’d probably catch me in something cozy but still with a touch of my signature style. Think a comfortable dark green cardigan, maybe over a simple black top, and perhaps a fun polka dot skirt to keep things interesting. Even if I'm just hanging out with my dog Gypsy, catching up on podcasts, or planning my next episode, I still like to feel put-together in a way that’s authentically me. It's about feeling good, whether I'm stepping out or staying in my happy place. But when it's time to get ready for something special, like a Dapper Day at Disneyland, that's when the real fun begins! My next dapper outfit is Zootopia-themed, and I'm so excited to channel May Bellwether. Getting ready for this involves not just finding the perfect vintage-inspired pieces but also thinking about how to subtly incorporate the character's essence with accessories and a touch of themed makeup. It's a whole process of planning, thrifting, and DIY to bring the vision to life – a true labor of love for my whimsical goth and pin-up aesthetics. It’s not just about the clothes; it’s about embodying the character and the era. And then there are concerts! Getting hyped for a show like Blink 182 or Pierce The Veil means picking an outfit that’s comfortable enough to jump around in but also screams punk rock. My go-to usually involves band tees, ripped jeans or a skirt, and sturdy boots. Makeup leans a bit more dramatic – maybe a bold eyeliner or a darker lip. Before I head out, I often take a moment with my crystals or pull a tarot card, just to set a positive intention for the night and soak in all the good vibes. It’s a little ritual that helps me feel connected and ready for the energy of live music. Whether I’m doing a quick mirror selfie to check my look or just chilling before a podcast recording, these moments are all part of my daily rhythm. I love how these different facets of my life, from my auditory processing disorder influencing my podcasting to my love for unique aesthetics, all come together to make up who I am. What do you do to get ready for your favorite pastimes?
