We know you missed us over the holidays, but you didn't miss much - we shopped, sunned, snored and for Brookey - sanctioned screen time.Whilst we were off duty, Hollywood was working overtime: between Saltburn and Salt Lake City, wow there's a lot for us to discuss. Brookey fills Alana in on the pop culture sensation that is Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the highly esteemed motherkiller. We did only a spot...2024-01-0949 min
The Real HousegirliesIs satire in for 2024?Forewarning - we're done with 2023. Your girls are tired and we are manic in this fun giggly episode. Leave your woes (and potentially some of Brookey's favourite trends) behind when you step into the new year and get ready because there are certain things that are definitely IN for 2024. Unsure if this has actually become satire, here's a taste of some things we're saying goodbye to: restaurants; sambas; euro summer; pants. And some things we're ready to embrace: true blue denim; anklets; drake (TBC) and iceberg.And as if that isn't wild enough - Brooke tells a...2023-12-191h 02
The Real HousegirliesThe Hermes horse girlWe know you came here for chaos, so don't be surprised with this topsy turvy episode: Brookey is a horse girl now (or again) after a recent luxe Yarra Valley excursion; whilst Alana is debriefing on the Denise of it all in last week's RHOBH episode. This leads us into a discussion on the Sydney ladies; the Hiltons and the drama of Elf on a Shelf (hence the warning/reminder that this episode is chaotic).We are finally up to speed on the $59m wedding and thoroughly enjoy a spot of speculation. Brooke realises she is living...2023-12-1257 min
The Real HousegirliesGood gift, bad experienceWhether you're queen of Christmas cheer or the low effort one in your family, this gift guide is designed to bring peace and joy (and alleviate any gift giving anxiety that we all experience). We've got all the girlies covered - from Corporate girlie to the Chef in your life and every Glam; Cool; Fitness and Chic Mom type in between.As girls that resonate with almost all the love languages, it must be said we really thrive when it comes to gifts - giving and getting. There's only two rules to remember: no IOU's are allowed...2023-12-051h 07
The Real HousegirliesPut a pin in it - ft. Michelle SmithThere are times in your life where the right person pops in at just the right time. For these two anxious girlies, that guru just so happened to be Michelle - providing pins, patience and all the judgement free health advice we were needing. From corporate girlie to acupuncture & Chinese Medicine practitioner, Michelle has a brilliant story to share and we manage to have a lot of laughs along the way. Periods, what the pins do, peri-menopause, a stint in China, stinky herbs and the power of beef, we hope you learn a little, laugh a little and be...2023-11-281h 10
The Real HousegirliesBoundaries and being blockedWe don't love therapist speak but some recent feedback has Alana needing to understand more about boundaries. How to flex and experiment in boundaries without getting blocked and deleted is something we're still figuring out. For a crash course in any topic, where better to learn than through Reddit comments ... probably lots of places, but Reddit is where we went, so that's what you get to enjoy. Also enjoy some absolutely rogue and chaotic boundary breaching stories from Alana. Brookey indulged in a luxe deluxe vacation and learns there's always pool politics no matter where you go. And of...2023-11-211h 01
The Real HousegirliesThe girl who lived in her shoesFinal Bravo con thoughts were shared and conspiracies are rife in this ep - targeting our Vanderpump MVPs. We're on to bigger and better things - Love Island, which Brooke is in a committed daily relationship with. Preparations for our Met Gala Monday activities are already underway - the theme has been announced and we are nothing if not speculators in this spectator sport! A convenient unknown caller sparked a conversation about finances, mortgages and investments - maybe this is educational for some, if you just don't look too closely at our math. And then all goes out the...2023-11-1458 min
The Real HousegirliesBravo to Brookey & her brideBravocon is on - and Miss Brynn is very quickly chasing down Paris Hilton for the prized place of being our Roman Empire. Enjoy a quick debrief on the best and worst halloween celebrity looks. Then take a journey with us, as Brookey goes full glam stunner for an event and gives us a prep run down. Alana goes to a different event as a vintage discount bride, so there's also that to look forward to unpacking. We're planning our Christmas and summer shopping; but for now passing on the Phoebe Philo prices.... If you want to play a...2023-11-0751 min
The Real HousegirliesYou're doing amazing sweetie!We've all been there - you get called into an office unexpectedly or surprised with a "hi" on Teams that haunts you as time stands still before the dreaded, "can we have a chat" hits. Before you know it, your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy - feedback is on the way and you're not equipped to handle that kind of emotional trauma today.Giving and receiving feedback in work or life is hard - we haven't necessarily mastered it but we're flexing the muscles that we have been training for years in our corporate lives to share...2023-10-3155 min
The Real HousegirliesI'm moving to SydneyWhat do a group of rich white ladies; Austin, Texas and Alana's sunburn have in common?... Sydney!

The Real HousegirliesGaslight Gatekeep GirlbossIn the spirit of Glossier shipping to Australia, we get caught up exploring this phenomenon of the rise and fall of "girl bosses" (not a term you'll catch us saying very often). Brookey gives us a deep dive into what's hot and not in Glossier's repertoire of products and Alana somehow manages to bring up Vaseline AGAIN. You're welcomed, if not encouraged, to have a laugh at the mishaps and misadventures of Alana's life; but honestly take all of her life and dating lessons with a grain of salt - just don't pay anyone else's bills...Recommendations from the ep...2023-10-1751 min
The Real HousegirliesSpring Clean for the Peach QueensSpring cleaning is all the buzz here and the question is do you replace your toothbrush heads and pillows often? Yeah, maybe time to clear out the old and bring in the new. We are happy to closely examine our roles in the family pecking order (that oldest child energy is real in Brookey and well Alana is an only child so ... honestly who knows). A family debacle in the Kardashian camp leads to a debate between our two debating champions on who was in the right - are you team Kourtney or team Kimmy?This week's...2023-10-1040 min
The Real HousegirliesHow did we get here?Sometimes in life you find yourself asking "how did we get here?". Like in today's episode.... how did we manage to go from catch up chit chat to unpacking a break up and exploring being single at 30 (which it turns out is totally fine and gorgeous). Alana's turn to get deep and uncomfortable as she talks about some major life changes from this year.We still manage to get through a heap of recommendations:Ova Acupuncture in Brisbane https://ovaacupuncture.au/Candy Claws - Press on nails https://candyclaws.com.au/...2023-10-0359 min
The Real Housegirlies10 things we learnt in our 20s Learnt, or still learning... but hopefully helpful nonetheless. Whether you're a baby or a boomer millennial like us; you'll know the struggles - skincare; travel; finances; big decisions; dating; credit cards - all that fun stuff. Maybe we've made mistakes or maybe we're just learning and still doing ok (that's what we prefer to think). Some lessons you have to learn yourself no doubt, and some you can probably learn just from listening to other people's bloopers - we hope you enjoy ours.

The Real HousegirliesThat's distressingSomething a little different - there's still laughter but we're feeling open, vulnerable and a little more serious off the back of last week. Brooke's major recommendation for a wellness retreat sparked a conversation in this week's ep to dive into her journey to burnout. We talk about stress - good v bad; what it's like to be drowning in the thick of it; and what you can do to try to look after yourselves because really, if you don't, who will?Hope you all love hearing Brookey open up as much as Alana did in this ep.

Alana manages to make slowing down a flex and Brooke is, as always, supportive.

The Real HousegirliesDo you want to hang out sometime?Would you line up for a Gucci store? Probably not, but in this week’s ep, Brookey teaches us how to score and save big at a warehouse sale. We reminisce on our Y2K roots as the 20 year anniversary for the premier of the OC rolls around and realise that we’re now at that age that it’s an effort to make friends. How do you make friends as an adult? Pilates? Apps? Flirting on IG? Work? What the f*$% are we doing? And once you have a friend - how do you be a good one;. how do...2023-08-0847 min

She and I discuss her journey from addiction to recovery, and take a deep dive into the tricky waters of interpersonal and romantic relationships in sobriety.
