0:35.0	Okay, now back to this amazing podcast.
0:37.2	Thanks so much to Shoshana for

And of course, like, it's not. And she created it, and it's amazing. Because all of this has now become industry standard. And you can, you know, find everything this way, but you didn't used to be able to. And now she has a line, even for kids, sizes 2T up to 12. Anyway, I love Shoshana's dresses.
1:28.6	I'm literally wearing one right now as I record the sponsor message that I love.
1:32.6	It's like blue and white striped at the top and a long blue, frilly skirt.
1:36.3	And I'm just such a huge fan of Shoshana the person and Shoshana the company.
1:42.1	So definitely go check out everything that they are doing.
1:46.9	Also, if you want a discount on Shoshana,
1:49.6	you get 25% off the whole site, which is amazing.
1:53.5	And now I think I actually have to go do that.
