She’s Been Dubbed Gen Z’s Carrie Bradshaw, And People Really Relate To The Videos She Makes About Rules For Specific Events Or Days Of The Week
Young women can’t get enough of who has been dubbed as Gen Z’s Carrie Bradshaw – Eli Rallo.
Eli (@elirallo) has taken the internet by storm and is posting content that helps young people navigate the crazy world of dating, relationships, and trying to get their lives together.
You may have seen her ‘rules’ videos on TikTok, where she hilariously gives a set of rules for specific events or days of the week. Or, perhaps you’ve listened to an episode of her podcast, “Miss Congeniality with Eli Rallo.’
Either way, with a book coming out this winter, Eli Rallo is the girl tons of people are going to for advice these days.
Eli’s internet fame began during the pandemic in 2020 when she lived at home during the lockdown. Her original TikTok username was @thejarr because she went viral for posting videos of the massive snack jars she was creating during quarantine.
As her followers started falling in love with her voice and what she had to say, Eli’s content transitioned into videos filled with advice for young people navigating their lives.
For instance, let’s say you’re a young woman going on a first date and could really use some solid, detailed advice on what to do. Thankfully, Eli filmed a ‘rules video’ for that exact situation.
“Welcome back to my besties old and new,” says Eli in the intro of every rules video.
So, what are some of Eli’s first date rules?

Eli says you need to pregame your date with 1.5 glasses of wine while listening to Ariana Grande songs.
“Go in with that Ariana Grande attitude,” she explains.
“Don’t go in with some lovey-dovey attitude; that’s not what we need.”
Eli also says not to add your dates contact into your phone until the third date, order a spicy margarita, say thank you after the date but never text first afterward, and make tentative plans for your next date.
If that’s not enough, Eli has a set of rules for a second and third date as well.
Then, of course, there are Eli’s rules for weekdays for those who need to add a bit more structure to their daily routines.
For example, Mondays are for tackling your to-do list and hot girl walks, Tuesdays are for laundry and calling your friends, Wednesdays are for fun workouts and journaling, etc.
“I have no clue why I feel obligated to follow these, but they’re my new life rules,” commented a TikTok user on one of Eli’s videos.
Eli’s list of rules has become so popular that her upcoming book of essays, “I Didn’t Know I Needed This,” will contain chapters with different sets of rules and more advice.
Over the last two years, Eli’s social media profiles have become a safe space for young women who need someone to relate to and make them laugh.
She now has over 110,000 followers on Instagram and over 700,000 followers on TikTok.
As her content and follower count has grown, making her what some people would consider an influencer, Eli’s main focus has always been making people practice self-love.
“The only thing I would ever influence anyone to do is feel good about themselves,” she said in an interview for the New York Post.
The next time you need advice for what to do on a specific day or simply need to laugh, Eli Rallo is the content creator for you.
