Next Gen NYC star Emira D’Spain is opening up about her extensive glam routine.
D’Spain, 28, tells PEOPLE exclusively, “I have a separate suitcase that I travel with, a huge checked bag that’s just glam. So one side is hair and one side is makeup. And it usually always weighs around 70 pounds. So I travel with 70 pounds of glam wherever I go.”
She then jokes, “It’s wild. That’s why I hate traveling.”
While D’Spain is always packed and ready for glam, when asked what item she would never leave the house without, she shares her favorite piece of jewelry. “I feel like I never really take any of my jewelry off, but I have this evil eye bracelet that my mom got for me. This is actually the second one, because the first one I did lose in the Hamptons,” she says.
She continues, “But I never take it off. I think it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of her and it’s got her protection in it.”

Next Gen NYC follows a group of friends in their 20s as they navigate life and love in N.Y.C. The cast includes several children who grew up on Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise, including Kim Zolciak‘s daughter Ariana Biermann and Teresa Giudice‘s daughter Gia Giudice.
They are joined by Riley Burruss (daughter of RHOA alum Kandi Burruss) and Brooks Marks (son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Meredith Marks). The cast also includes Ava Dash (daughter of music mogul Damon Dash), It girl Georgia McCann and crypto trader Charlie Zakkour. Biermann’s boyfriend Hudson McLeroy and Shai Fruchter are also set to appear on Next Gen NYC.
While D’Spain is one of the cast members forging her own path in the big city without Bravo star parents, she credited her parents for their support in her transition. “Both my parents are incredible. I love them so much. I do feel like the times have changed so much, and as sad as it is to hear stories like that. And even with my parents, it was easy, but it could have been easier,” D’Spain says.
