Meet The Be Blondes

Emily Hendrickson

Emily is a proud Mississippi native with a deep appreciation for Southern hospitality. When she’s not working, you’ll likely find her at home cuddling her little boy or hosting a dinner party for friends.

An avid reader with a soft spot for cheesy rom-coms, Emily is always up for a glass of champagne and a few episodes of Southern Charm or any of her favorite Bravo shows. But don’t let that fool you—she’s equally happy curling up with Dateline on any given night.

As a counselor, Emily is passionate about sharing her heart and cherishes the connections she makes with others.

Approaching her thirties, Emily has gained valuable insight into navigating life in your twenties and is eager to offer all the big-sister advice she can.

She calls North MS home, where she lives with her husband Matt, their son Kit, and their playful French Bulldog, Bonnie.

Lily Parham

Lily is a true Alabama girl who loves to embrace all the charm and warmth of Southern living. When she’s not content planning with Emi Lou or staying up-to-date on the latest pop culture, you’ll find her hosting her girlfriends for a girls' night, birthday celebration, or an SEC football watch party.

A lover of true crime podcasts and a self-proclaimed reality TV enthusiast, Lily treasures nothing more than a cozy night in with her handsome beau watching the latest show they are binge-watching.

As a full-time college student with an even busier work life, Lily has been modeling since the age of thirteen. These days, you’ll often see her featured on The Blue Door Boutique. Her years of experience have given her valuable insider knowledge about fashion and skincare, which she loves to share with her girlfriends.

Your twenties can be both exciting and stressful, and as Lily is just beginning her journey through them, she’s eager to share everything she’s learning along the way.

 

Lily calls Birmingham, AL home with her parents, brother, and her boyfriend, Hunter.
