  • Gold & Glitter

    Genuinely if I only paid for one streaming service or subscription, hands down it would be Emsolation. This is everything you need - pop culture, princesses. Divas, raw real talk, and a warm hug on the couch should you need it. Choose Em and Michael and the amazing team that send glitter and giggles out to us 3 times a week.
