Killer Watermelon Ceviche Salad Recipe

Fans of goop recipes will no doubt want to dive into this Summer Watermelon & Ceviche Salad with reckless abandon. It’s a trip to the farmer’s market on a plate (but feel free to source your ingredients at like… the grocery store), amped up with ginger, coconut cream, and chilis for a truly fresh flavor combination. Personally, I like to top it off with a little crumbled feta, too, because I’m never lacking in reasons to add cheese.

The Hydrating Skincare Products to Know

I’m not shy about my skincare obsessions. Quite the opposite, I always welcome new finds into my routine and a few of the things on my radar right now are Cetaphil’s hyaluronic-rich hydrating products, specifically their day cream, night cream, and eye cream. We’ve all trusted Cetaphil since… the dawn of time? And, this hydrating line is the latest cult favorite to add to your line-up, bringing in the power of hyaluronic acid, which I will be discussing at length again very soon—so stay tuned for another Skincare Memo later this week!

Ridiculously Delicious One-Pot Chicken Recipe

If you’re going to master a crowd pleasing recipe before summer ends, let it be this one. I spotted it on Food52 last week and kind of can’t wait to make it again. It comes together so simply, in literally one pan, and encourages lots of dipping bread in sauce, which is one of my favorite activities. Go ahead and try this now while tomatoes are awesome and in season—my thinking is it’ll become a staple for anyone who loves hosting friends for dinner.

Amazing Lip Mask

Here’s a fun idea, what if we didn’t get chapped lips this year? Taking better care of my pout the same way I care for my skin is a huge priority going into fall and winter. This year, I’m being proactive and getting into nighttime lip-care, starting with Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask. I like the idea of being able to leave the house without some mildly medicinal lip solution in tow, don’t you? Believe me, there’s a reason this product as 130K loves on Sephora.

Perfect Everlane Tees

I am a champion of the “if you like it, buy it in every color” adage. It’s the best way to avoid shopper’s regret. I’ve recently learned that I’m 100% in love with Everlane’s Pima Micro Rib Open V-Neck, so naturally all three colors are in my closet, ready to help me with all of my effortless Fall outfit needs. Can’t get enough of that v detail which somehow makes the simplest jeans and sneakers outfit appear effortlessly chic.

Goop Rec: Inspiring Career Books

I was so excited to get back into the Career Memo swing of things with Career Contessa last week.

In this post, Gwyneth & Co share seven books and one documentary that will instantly inspire you, especially if you’ve been feeling like you’re in a bit of a career rut.

MY FAVORITE WAIST BELTS

My obsession with belts is no secret, and Frame has always been one of my favorite go-to brands. Perhaps you’ve noticed the brown version of this beauty in…I don’t know, a bajillion of my Instagrams? The brand has just released a new spin on this closet classic, and it’s perfect for cinching a dress at the waistline (literally me, always) or wearing with jeans. It comes in black, too!

Perfect Fall Coats

Okay…it’s late-ish August, and I’m starting to wrap my head around the idea of Autumn. Making that effort a lot easier are plenty of fresh-for-2018 options in a clothing category I’ll call “coats that aren’t actually coats.” For example, this Harris Wharf London coziness looks more like a sweater that takes its job seriously, rather than a full-on coat. Also I kind of can’t get over the color of this gorgeous Soia & Kyo piece. Fine, Fall. You may proceed.

CLEAR LIPSTICK CAPS

You should be sitting for this one. Via my friend Lauryn, I recently discovered a company that makes clear plastic caps for popular lipstick brands. How AMAZING is this?! That perfectly-organized makeup collection (who are we kidding, the 45 random items at the bottom of your bag), just got a lot more functional. These caps let you easily see the color in the tube without checking each color name with a magnifying glass, making locating your chosen color so much easier. If you really want to go all the way, replace those caps and then organize everything in this clear…

Herb Lester Travel Guides

I always thought that the oddest thing about travel guides was the fact that they were…you know, books. Who wants to travel around with a library in their impossibly adorable cross body, I ask you? Herb Lester guides get it, and are the slimmest, most beautifully designed, most amazingly informative travel guides for any wanderer who wants to live like a local. Super affordable (and highly collectable), these guides slip into your bag in the least imposing way possible. Dare I say you’ll even look cool whipping this out in a Copenhagen coffee shop?
