The Best Face Cleanser

Some recommendations come with more feedback than others, and I’m thrilled to see that you guys really liked this one. I’ve mentioned DHC Deep Cleansing Oil in the past when I did a deep-dive into how to properly clean your face in this post (definitely read if you haven’t!). But, after sharing it again in my Insta stories last week, I was so happy to hear that MANY of you have fallen in love with it too, since ordering it after reading my post. I’ve found it to be an essential part of my two-step cleansing routine, and apparently I’m…

Never Lose Your Keys Again

Attention all forgetful, disorganized, and/or busy people: Tiles are a lifesaver. Just attach a Tile to anything you’re prone to lose (your keys, your phone, your boyfriend), and have a little more peace of mind knowing your days of tearing your home apart in search are officially over. The Tile app keeps track of the last location of your Tile, and also “calls” your Tile to make it ring when you need to locate something. And, if you lose your phone itself, press a button on any of your Tiles, and it will ring–even on silent.

Double-Walled Mugs You Need To Try

I know we all settle into that “favorite” coffee mug or teacup, but this cool, clear set makes a STRONG case for a change. The price is unbeatable, at $25 for the set, and they’re double-walled which means they keep hot drinks hot (and I mean HOT) for way longer than your traditional mug PLUS the double walls mean they’re never too hot to hold. If you’re a tea drinker, the glass mugs make it easy to see if your tea has steeped the way you like it. Also, there’s something about these mugs that reminds me of science class,…

Foolproof Outdoor Entertaining Tips

ICYMI, recently shared a few no-fail tips for easy summer hosting, including a delish white peach sangria recipe and a simple, scrumptious watermelon feta skewer that features the best of summer produce. We’re about to embark on a week-long rainy streak here in New York (my hair and I are equally upset) but don’t forget that there’s still a full month of official summer left. It’s never easier to host a delicious, stylish get-together (even last-minute!) than it is in the warmer months, so call (who are we kidding, email) your #1s and invite them over for outdoor hangtime. Whether…

My Favorite Yoga Pants

All pants should be yoga pants. This shouldn’t even be a discussion. They’re endlessly functional, regardless of whether you’re ready for intense cardio or just like…a nice walk. We live in them, so we should love them. These leggings in particular bring an extra bit of genius, because not only are they amazingly buttery and comfortable—holding you in in all the right places without suffocating—but you can also customize them with the waistband and length that you like most. The price is also unbeatable for the quality (which is top notch) and customizability you get here. Personally, I’m obsessed with the…

Daily Harvest Smoothies

While I’m on a Vitamix roll, one of my favorite things to throw in my blender and go is a Daily Harvest smoothie. There is literally no easier way to make breakfast, short of not actually making breakfast—and even still, these will probably be healthier than anything you’re actually making. You’ve probably seen these all over your instagram feed (which is how I discovered them) but they really are worth the hype. Each smoothie cup contains everything you need for a nutrient-packed smoothie, you just add almond milk (or the liquid of your choice), blend, and go. The Vitamix blends…

Vitamix Blending Cups

If you’re thinking about the Vitamix or already own one, you should also think about outfitting your Vitamix with these massively convenient blending cups. They allow you to blend a personalized smoothie or protein shake right in the cup, then just throw a lid on top and go. We find them much easier to use for quick smoothies than the larger Vitamix container. Also, it’s just more fun to whip up personalized blends every morning like some kind of smoothie sommelier.

The Blender Everyone Should Own

I hate playing favorites with kitchen appliances but…actually you know what, I don’t hate playing favorites with kitchen appliances. This one wins. Every time. If you’ve been pondering a Vitamix purchase, I really think you should go for it. Pricey, yes. An investment in your health that also saves you loads of time and cooking frustration? Also yes. I use this beast for everything. You can read up on it here, but it’s so much more than your traditional blender. I use it everyday for smoothies, but also make soups, complete prepwork (it chops like nobody’s business), and the list…

They’re my absolute favorite, I have them in multiple colors, and they’re currently on sale. Imagine the softest, most lounge-worthy pajamas you’ve ever owned? These are better. (And less than $50!)

Metallic Wine Glass Markers

Disposable wine glasses are the worst, but so is drinking someone else’s Sancerre by accident. I love these wine glass markers for keeping track of “whose wine is it anyway.” The best part is that they are easily erasable and come in cool, grown-up colors, so your elegant Oregon pinot noir with subtle tannins doesn’t look like it’s covered in a 4-year-old’s refrigerator art.
