Late one night, late after her trip to Turkey, after spending a few days surrounded by her mother and sister, well accompanied by Gabby and Olivia, Jennifer Aydin came crashing in with one of the firery late night jet-lagged real talk Instalive moments that are enough to remind us why the whole world fell in love with her. From that jetlagged confusion, she could have sworn it was Friday. For the record, it was Saturday. She could have mustered just a few ounces of energy, but she HAD ONE LAST THING TO SHARE…

The chain was a Miami Chains Co. creation: Aydin found it that afternoon at a beauty brunch in the Hamptons. In her Just-From-Marshall’s sweats, comfortable go-anywhere-from-McDonald’s-to-Jet-pine style (with much recognition for the pockets since lately she’s really been into pockets), she happily exhibited this little gold thingy that hooks into a phone case and gives you a hang to dangle the phone from. No more losing the phones between couch cushions. Brilliant, isn’t it? So proud was she of this wonderful product that she even went live in bare face just to gush about it: “This is not a paid post. I am about to go to sleep, and I just appreciate this product.”
The more tiredly excited rambling soon fell into seriousness; tribute came to her friend Louise: Louise delivered a hard-hitting story on ovarian cancer at the brunch, charging women to fight for transvaginal ultrasound for the early detection of ovarian cancer. Academy One Thirty Club dinner dinner made an appearance in the video, sending off her son Justin from college. Life in a snapshot–tiring, joyful, messy, and full of love.
The comment section was, as usual, a mixture of nostalgic support and the typical weirdness of the internet. The product got most of the audience on board right from inception. “Thanks for sharing!! Definitely getting one :)” said one user, speaking for the majority of people who lose their devices. The other comment was, indeed, a very useful one: “Can you still charge the phone with a USB cord while on a chain?” An Aydin-supported voice came and assured with a no-interfere-with-charging answer, which would be seriously important.
Then, there was the eruption of nostalgia for Bravo. “Miss seeing you on Tv❤️” and “This is why we need you back on Jersey housewives” were some of the regular comments echoing fan desires to see her back on screen. Speculations about The Real Housewives of New Jersey baptizing the new season were coming down like rain. “We’re hoping you, Teresa and Dolores come back. It’s getting ridiculous already,” pleaded one commenter. Aydin herself jumped into the comment section with one of her usual, real answers: “Not sure at all- I guess when they make a decision, they will let me know… Chances are, you guys will probably find out before I will.” Oof, transparency.
But it is not the internet without some unsolicited critiques. Nobody cares about this episode of one person remarking on the remote controls: “You have a lot of remote controls lol.” In unfazed response, Aydin said, “Doesn’t everybody???” Another comment took an uglier turn: “That weird ozempic face.” It was a glorious moment of fan clapbacks. “So sad u enjoy being rude. Stop the bs already.” Another checked the critic’s profile picture and chirped, “Not gonna even mention your outfit or your posture.-talk about droopy🤣.” The support squad was in full force.
Probably the most worthy of all was a throwdown on how to support a small business. One user suggested she look on tienda online for something that attaches to a purse. Another fan dashed to its defense: “tienda online is a huge company. I think it’s nice that she’s doing a shout out for a smaller business. Small Business is tough right immediately; I think we should all try and support Small Business!” This harkened an entire thread about conscientious buyers, which honestly is an extremely productive use of everyone’s time instead of spending all of it arguing about someone’s looks.
I have loved the organic endorsement so much that the owner of Miami Chains Co. herself found the post and commented with joy: “@jenniferaydin jetlag or no jetlag you are on 🔥🔥love that you are loving the chains!!! This was such a great late night post.”

That is what makes a Jennifer Aydin live so magical. Literally, it’s never just about the thing she’s showing you. It is a scratch-long glimpse of the chaotic life in her household; some love for her friends; pride for her family; excitement about a product that will make life just a little bit easier. It is raw, it is disjointed, and it is very real. And sometimes, exactly what you have to see on a Saturday night.
