Given the lack of clarity – and regulation – around “clean beauty” and ingredient safety, ILIA founder Sasha Plavsic’s no compromise approach, innovation and commitment to SPF (which increases her powerful formulas’ ability to shield skin from environmental stressors by 200%) takes on even greater meaning. Balanced and fuss-free is always achievable in ILIA’s full range of makeup – starting with this Super Serum Skin Tint.

This five-ingredient bar, affectionately known as “The Daily,” is the ultimate in softening and sustainability. Having previously fallen for the clean efficiency of shampoo and conditioner bars, I've decided this waterless moisturizer that softens with skin contact is the one for me. As the brand’s first stone – they subsequently developed eleven additional versions, from a relief stone for sore muscles to a sleep stone for bedtime tranquility – The Daily gives skin a silky supple texture, courtesy of cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, and fractionated coconut. Along with its hydrating properties, the understated scent, a floral blend of rose, frankincense, and neroli, make the experience one you want to repeat. Daily.

I haven’t been to my local coffee shop in months because I have this Nespresso machine on my countertop. It’s super easy to use — a quick one-touch button starts the brew. You can make everything with this machine, from single espresso shots to double and a full cup too.

Some products have the ability to make the mundane feel extraordinary, like this herbaceous candle whose intoxicating aromas might transport them to a summer night dining and dancing under twinkly lights in the garden– even when they’re just making boxed mac and cheese in their one bedroom apartment.

A robe is one of the many things you learn to enjoy as you grow up. This cloud cotton robe from Parachute is one you’ll want to throw on every day. It’s perfect to keep you warm and cozy as you’re doing your night time skincare ritual or in the morning as you wait for your morning coffee or matcha to be ready.

Where do I start?! Having experienced my own struggles with anxiety and sleep disturbances in the past, I knew how crucial magnesium was in calming the mind and supporting restful sleep. I then set out to create a magnesium supplement that would provide maximum benefits and truly make a difference in people's lives. Our high-strength formula combines three different forms of magnesium for optimal absorption and effectiveness. Today, I continue to take it religiously before bed, and it truly helps me achieve the deep, restorative sleep that is so essential to overall wellbeing. Our powder is the newest way to absorb magnesium in addition to the capsules, and I’m absolutely obsessed with it.
