NOTE: We recorded this episode back in January before Coronavirus became A Thing. I hope this episode brings you joy and a little bit of a break from all of the news. Stay safe and sanitized. Love you guys.

We’re talking JEANS and GENES and SUNSCREENS with my gal, Lisa Tozzi aka Tozzi. Not only is she the managing editor for news and operations at The Markup (https://themarkup.org/), she’s also just...the best? We love Tozzi. OH WAIT BEFORE WE GO FURTHER—

Okay so we’re talking about JEANS first. We both love a Madewell jean and I talk about my newfound dupe for $150 Madewell jeans but there’s a caveat to the dupe, and I give you some tips about dealing with that caveat in this episode. (Also did you know I married the HEIR to Madewell? Okay that’s not technically true, there is no money involved and I don’t get a discount (boo) but it’s also kind of true. See here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/dannosowitz/how-madewell-bought-and-sold-my-familys-history). 

Other things Tozzi and I get to in this episode: the deep lines on my neck that I swear to G appeared on New Year’s Day out of nowhere (at the time I hadn’t found a good product to help those lines out but those of you who follow the pod on Insta know I have recently found one!), Tozzi’s hatred of taking pics of herself, the $50 miracle for raw winter skin, and so so much more. This is also the first episode where our awesome editor Veronica was able to insert a song so please enjoy that moment. WE ALSO TALK ABOUT SUNSCREEN. ALL CAPS!! SUNSCREEN.

HAVE YOU CALLED ME YET? We have a phone number! Call it! You may be featured on an upcoming special listeners-only ep of the podcast: 424-245-0736.
