Rachel Recchia and Genevieve Parisi became best friends and fan favorites on The Bachelor Season 26. If you're looking for a new way to make friends and joining Bachelor Nation is not in the cards, Rachel and Genevieve have another option you'll love. The reality TV alums recommend joining Hey! VINA.
Genevieve explained, "It's no secret it starts to get harder to make friends later in life. People use apps to find a significant other, we loved the idea of using a female-owned and empowered app to make friends ahead of the festival. Coachella is such a fun environment to meet new people and this partnership gives you a head start!"
Rachel added, "Absolut is taking its Born to Mix ethos to the next level with a partnership with Hey! VINA. It's similar to a dating app but for friendships. You can take a quiz and meet friend matches with similar interests."
In an exclusive E! interview, Rachel and Genevieve dished on festival season must-haves and the Absolut cocktail kit they curated just in time for Coachella.
Rachel explained, "This kit makes it easy to get a taste of the festival at home. It has everything you need to shake up the Absolut Festival Lemonade. It's super yummy and refreshing tasting with flavors of wild berry, citrus and lavender. It's perfect for the spring/summer season."
Genevieve elaborated, "We really wanted to take that idea of friendship to this kit. We call it the ‘Absolut Festival Bestie Cocktail Kit' and they are actually sold in sets of two! One for you and one to send to your bestie. We also included friendship bracelets from Little Words Project because cocktails and jewelry felt like the perfect combo to cheers to friendship and festival season!"
E!: What performances or events are you looking forward to most at Coachella?
RR: So many incredible artists to look forward to but definitely Frank Ocean. I've had Lost on repeat since we found out we were going!
GP: I'm a huge Frank Ocean fan so I'm super excited to see him. I'm also very excited to see Latto perform.
E!: What's a go-to snack that helps you get through a long day?
RR: Chocolate covered almonds are my weakness!
GP: This sounds crazy but carrots wrapped in salami. So good!
