How To Be A Clean Person, With Jolie Kerr 

How To Be A Clean Person, With Jolie Kerr 

This week we talked about personal hygiene with professional clean person Jolie Kerr. Jolie’s been a cleaning expert for Esquire, Deadspin and The Hairpin, and she’s the author of the New York Times bestselling book, My Boyfriend Barfed in My Handbag… and Other Things You Can’t Ask Martha. In this episode, Jolie answers questions from our audience on how to handle stinky feet, weird breath, and the other embarrassing issues we all deal with (but don’t want to admit to).
