No More “S” Word

  • Once the “no more talking about skiing” rule is instituted, Elyse and Amie talk about some of the baking they have been doing in quarantine and Elyse discusses her love for fashion and what it means to her to be feminine.
  • After that, Elyse tells Amie about what going to the Super Bowl was like, how much she loves to surf and some of the best of surf trips she’s been on.
  • From there, Amie asks Elyse about her love for food and cooking and the two discuss their rational and irrational fears and Elyse admits that she has some road rage.
  • Then, Amie ask the Protect Our Winters (POW) sponsored question and Elyse talks about how giving people access to potable, clean water could be a solution to reducing plastic bottle waste.
  • Elyse goes on to talk about the highs and lows of her last year and she wraps up the podcast with a story from that time she lived in Italy and got locked out of her apartment for four days...
