Today we have what might be our funniest What I Can’t Live Without as of yet. Kate Berlant and Jacqueline Novak — who recently relaunched their wellness podcast, Poog — returned to tell us about everything they (still) can’t live without, plus some new additions to their lists. There’s Berlant’s rosacea-management essentials (“I’m really into green tint underneath makeup. This primer is excellent”) and the automatic cat feeder Novak uses, but not for her cats.
And naturally, as best friends, they have a few things they both can’t live without, which they shared in a joint list, including the denim sun hat that’s “not too humiliating” and the “ride-or-die backpack” Novak had to convince Berlant to wear. “Kate said it would make her look completely desexualized, and I told her it was her responsibility to transcend the backpack. If a utilitarian bag can ruin your style, you need to work harder to elevate the rest of your look,” says Novak. You can read the full list here.
