H&M Dress

There are SO many good summer dresses at H&M right now, and I love them for those of us who enjoy floating about the house in clothes that don’t feel like clothes. Bonus: This one is $20. I repeat: $20. I’ve never ordered anything faster.

Hair Finishing Stick

LET’S TALK BABY HAIR MANAGEMENT. If you get annoyed (read: enraged) at all the baby hairs that frame your face (or fall out underneath your bun or ponytail), this every-texture hair product looks like a mascara wand and works like you have a personal hair stylist with you all night to keep your tresses tamed. Hair stays smooth and placed exactly where you want it. This is genius.

Whisk Wiper

Who loves cleaning whisks? Yeah literally nobody, thx. This genius whisk wiper makes cleaning your kitchen’s most oddly shaped tool very easy. It’s ideal for baking and decorating when mixing up multiple recipe components, colors of frosting, etc. I especially love this for anyone who doesn’t have access to a dishwasher, to pre-clean the device, if you will.

Wearable Nail Polish Holder

Since we are all now our own manicurists, let’s make the job a little easier and less spill-prone. This genius nail polish holder is worn on your hand to keep your polish bottle upright and close at… hand. (I am hilarious.) Its ratings are through the roof so we know it works incredibly well, and it also comes in all of the colors. Like all of the colors that exist.

Breathing Exercises

Sometimes it feels like 2020 has been ten years instead of the one year it actually is, and in light of its penchant for overachievement, we might be feeling a little stressed. This is an excellent list of breathing exercises that can help you maintain your sense of calm (or get back to it). These are a wonderful new addition to your morning or evening routine, too.

Glowpear

For anyone who dreams of having a garden but only has space for a potted plant, Glowpear’s system is a self-watering (SELF-WATERING) urban garden that takes up minimal space in your home or on your patio or balcony, and allows you to grow literally anything you want, from any space you have! I love the bench-style option, but it also comes in a mini version that can be hung on a wall, or a window box style as well. Grow fresh herbs and flowers regardless of the outdoor space you’re working with. It’s also especially nice to feel like you…

Super Chic Comb

Lately I’ve been reading advice about wide tooth combs, and how much better they are for use on wet hair. This one, which is easily the most stylish thing in our bathrooms despite being, you know…a comb, is ideal for in-shower or just afterward. It’s also designed to offer a soothing scalp massage which has the added benefit of increasing blood flow to your hairs follicles. I have also been told that this comb is excellent for curly hair!

ButterBeReady Blog

Hungry? You’re about to be. I recently found myself completely engrossed in Quin’s recipes, she’s the super talented creator of ButterBeReady. What am I talking about? Allow me to explain via these lemon sweet rolls or perhaps this challah bread pudding. Yeah, now you understand. On the savory side, the first recipe of hers on my list is a curry coconut collard greens dish with chickpeas and potatoes which I will be making tonight on instastories. See you there.

Cole Haan Sale

Not sure if you’ve heard, but Cole Haan is basically giving shoes away. Like, tossing them in your general direction, and simply asking you to pick them up. I just ordered these espadrilles, and these slides. A word on slides: They might be my favorite summer style because they can be worn with truly everything and they also translate really well between styles and levels of dressy/casual/sporty, exhibit A. Right now Cole Haan is offering extremely good discounts, and if you buy two or more pairs of shoes, you’ll get an extra 25% off. Sort out your summer shoe situation…
