“My holy grail clean beauty product I search for every winter is a lip treatment to help dry, cracked lips. This winter I'm reaching for goop's new Lip Repair Mask for silky smooth lip protection. It's the perfect level of moisturizing without feeling too heavy, and I trust goop's commitment to sourcing clean ingredients -- especially important in a lip product!” –Hannah Baker

“Skip the grocery store flowers, fellas, and get your partner some exceptional quality flowers from Bouqs! I've ordered Bouqs a few times and every time, the quality has been exceptional. The bouquets are always full, lasting several days, and are sure to elevate your V-Day game. These Valentine's Day-specific flowers are classic, but just unique enough for her to know how much thought you put into this gift. Bonus: they ship straight to you, making that one less errand you need to run!” –Dana Abraham

“Back when I lived in Brooklyn, Catbird was a tiny Williamsburg shop in which locals crammed on top of one another for a glance at the delicate and unconventionally beautiful baubles that stacked their glittering jewelry cases. Now, in its expansive new location, Catbird is a destination in itself. And all these years later, I still consider it my go-to boutique for elegant, well-made jewelry, especially in the way of stacking rings, earring sets, and signets. I got the Dollhouse Diamond engraved with the initial of my daughter and wear it as a pinky ring. It's the perfect size and complement to my everyday stacks (and a shining, tender nod to my firstborn and sweet baby girl).” –Deenie Hartzog-Mislock

“In celebration of Valentine's Day, I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Maison d’Emilie's special and exclusive offer: their magical Scalp Revive Platinum treatment. It’s a luxurious 2-hour experience that combines a scalp spa with a facial, and I was encouraged to bring my partner with me. The room had 3 beds in it, but the lovely staff blocked out the third bed to give my partner and I a more private experience (not that we talked much anyway). I have never been this relaxed in my entire life. I forgot what year it was and woke up feeling more rejuvenated than ever before. My partner has 4c textured hair, which I shared with the staff beforehand. They assured me that their technicians are very experienced with all hair types and my partner had nothing but positive feedback. Designed for someone to enjoy with their loved one, this indulgent and unique Valentine's Day special will be offered on February 13th-15th. The best gift to give + receive! Get it while it's hot.” –Naomi Joshi

“I have done it. I have found the perfect winter shoe for taking the dog out. For context, I have had my dog for two full New York winters, and every time I need to take her out, I reach for something warm and easy to slip on. I cannot be dealing with laces the first thing on Saturday mornings. These “slippers” from UGG have their plush wool lining and waterproof suede outsides, plus a bit more of a sole than their traditional styles. This helps with the fact the ground always seems to be wet or icy from December to February.” –Kelsey Borovinsky

“I've tried a lot of tinned fish, and this tuna tops my list. My current lunchtime obsession is a thick piece of sourdough with avocado and several meaty slices of Siesta Co. tuna belly. It's also great mashed into a salad with Greek yogurt and anything crunchy in the fridge.” –Lizzy Briskin

“For the first time in a decade, I have switched mascara brands. Make Beauty — an OG brand that relaunched in 2021 with a Violet Grey alum at the helm — taps into botanical and natural ingredients (and science when applicable) rather than tout the nebulous term "clean." Lash Prototype's vegan beeswax-alternative formula makes my lashes full with one swipe, but it's buildable for touch-ups or whenever you seek maximum volume.” –Christine Morrison

“When I think about today’s beauty market—particularly blushes and eyeshadows—it’s clear that neutral palettes reign supreme. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with Makeup by Mario’s viral eyeshadow palette as the next person, but I can’t help noticing that warm tones are slowly disappearing from the shelves. Determined to find a blush that doubles as an eyeshadow while adding both glow and warmth to my face (a tall order, I know), I got all 10,000 of my daily steps in while strutting the aisles of Sephora and Ulta. Enter Benefit Cosmetics. This shade is like if sunrise and sunset had a baby. It layers beautifully over foundation, giving me that glowy, goddess-level radiance that had all my friends immediately asking for details. And the bonus? It also warms up my eyelids effortlessly with just a small dab, making it the ultimate blush-eyeshadow duo for a sun-kissed, beach-ready vibe—even in the dead of winter.” –Shei Marcelline

“Every couple weeks, without fail, my suction cup shower organizer would fall off the tile wall and tumble into my tub. So I finally decided to stop being startled - and look for a stylish and secure replacement. Enter The Spot from Quiet Town (the maker of my fave colorful shower curtains). This circular catch all comes equipped with 4 modular different hooks and holders to stash all my shower essentials, and thanks to an adjustable strap that loops over the shower head and adhesive patches on the back, it's not going anywhere. It also just looks so much cooler than most shower caddies, a real design object to admire each time I lather up.” –Logan Sommers

“After trying and loving the Tik Tok-viral Le ChouChou Lip Softening Balm, I needed to test out everything else Eadem had to offer. The Mami Wata Ultra Calming Rescue Mist is something I use multiple times a day to calm my skin and refresh my makeup. It’s packed with skin strengthening ingredients like ectoin for barrier building, panthenol for deep hydration and squalene to prevent moisture loss. All of Eadem's products are formulated by women of color whose goal is to create products with all skin types in mind– especially those with melanated skin.” –Olivia Ginsberg

“My horoscope has been pretty adamant recently that I take charge of my health, which—as an insulin resistant queen—meant staying on top of my blood sugar and keeping my microbiome in check. Zbiotics is pretty revolutionary in the sense that the probiotic powder is genetically engineered to transform any sugar you don't need into a beneficial prebiotic fiber. I take it nightly and have noticed so much improvement in my nightly digestion and how I feel in the morning when I get up. Not only does it support an otherwise healthy lifestyle, but it adds an extra boost for when you're traveling or eating out of your comfort zone.” –Annie Goodman
