Happy spring to you! The turn of the season has us craving simplicity — stripping back, going more natural, getting a little more grounded. That’s the thread running through everything we’ve put together for you this month:

• How beauty maven Stephanie Griffin broke up with botox at 30, and what she’s using to prevent wrinkles and fine lines instead.
• A TL;DR on getting the most out of The RealReal with resident expert Hannah Baker – plus tips from her consignment concierge (who she has on speed dial, mind you).
• Hannah Cassidy’s I-spend-hours-and-hours-and-hours-on-etsy-so-you-don’t-have-to bible, with an exploration into the best categories for making your space feel homey and special, plus her favorite sellers to support.
• The best organic cotton basics according to TQE editor Deenie Hartzog-Mislock and Pact Clothing President Michelle Pool (have you heard that everyone’s working out in cotton now?).
• A review of Hallie Katz’s stay at Playa Viva, a two Michelin-key eco hotel on the Guerrero coast that’s serious about permaculture.

Our goal this month is the same as always: to help you find what feels most you — whether that’s a more intentional beauty routine, a more sustainable wardrobe, or a getaway that doesn’t ask you to choose between comfort and conscience.

As always, we’ll have a few gift guides (for our Aries and Tauruses, and for our mamas and mother figures), plenty of product reviews (beach bags, swimwear, and spring nailcare are top of mind), and some surprises along the way.

If you subscribe to our emails, we’ll send the best of the best straight to your inbox (including our monthly discount code roundup). And we’re always looking to hear from you on social. Thanks for being here.
