The Best Products For May According To Our Editors

“I never thought I’d be a sneakerhead, but Salomon has started to change that. The XT-6 in White / Lunar Rock is my go-to for travel days, errands, and everything in between–lightweight, ultra-comfy, and somehow still chic. I wore these all around NYC and am wearing them this very instant in Cabo, in prep for a gym session. I also paired them on the way over here with a chic outfit–they are so versatile they fit with just about everything. I recently added the XT-SLATE in Light Gray to the rotation and love the slightly more elevated, tonal look. Both pairs strike the perfect balance between form and function–technical enough for trail, cool enough for everyday.” –Lauren Kleinman

“Spring has officially sprung in LA, which means it's hosting season. And while I love having friends over, when it comes to putting together those effortlessly chic, Instagram-worthy snack boards, I'll take all the help I can get. Out of everything I’ve taste-tested this month, I seriously can't stop thinking about these Back to Nature Crackers. They're oh-so perfectly crispy, sturdy enough to hold all my favorite toppings, and subtly seasoned to perfection. My current obsessions: Layering one cracker with creamy goat cheese, smoked salmon, and a sprig of fresh dill, and another with a dollop of brie, salty prosciutto, cracked pepper, and a drizzle of hot honey.” –Shei Marcelline

“Just in time for summer, I’ve discovered a botanical rinse-free solution that revitalizes both the scalp and hair between washes. As a vegan alternative to conventional dry shampoo, which often leaves residue and can be sticky, Iles Formula effectively absorbs excess sebum and balances the scalp's microbiome while adding volume at the roots. But my fave usage for the allergen-free mist with fresh white tea scent is as an all-over mist (on wet or dry hair) for creating beach waves.” –Christine Morrison

“Have you heard about what EMF (electromagnetic field) is doing to our bodies? Listen, I won't get into it now, but the long and short of it is that everything from our phones to our wifi to our microwaves are potential detriments to our central nervous systems, our molecular structure, and therefore our long-term health. Scary!! Given that I keep peeling back the layers of my health on this journey that I call "Life," I was super excited to give Somavedic's OG Vedic a try. The price may shock you, but once you feel the weight and quality of this bad boy, you'll understand the investment. I leave it in my bedroom so that it can help block any residual EMF from my phone while I sleep. It also helps to reduce oxidative stress from free radicals and harmonize my space for better, more grounded sleep (and I have noticed a big difference in that category). They've just come out with a new model that is specifically geared towards women's hormonal health, so that will be my next go-to. Mark my words!”– Annie Goodman

“Nuuds just launched their eggplant colorway of their uber comfy leggings. I wear buttery soft leggings regularly and I'm excited to add a bold coloway into my workout rotation especially now that its getting warmer outside. These high-waisted leggings come in a strechy moisture-wicking fabric that's super breathable.” –Nikita Charuza

“Every summer, I set the same goal: "This is the year I’m going to live in dresses." And every summer... it doesn't really happen. But this year is my year! As a mom of two toddlers, I want to feel put together without sacrificing comfort — and the Cecilia Dress from Evereve does just that. I already ordered a few more from them and I’m actually excited to finally live in dresses all summer long.” –Dana Abraham

“I’m obsessed with Eco Koala who just refreshed my stock of personal care products like soap and bath wash, as well as cleaning products like multipurpose cleaner and dish soap. Eco Koala makes the most thoughtfully designed, non-toxic cleaning and household essentials that are as beautiful as they are sustainable. I love how each item feels intentional and elevated. It's also clean, which is important to me – especially with two littles. It’s rare to find a brand that balances high performance, great design, and true eco-consciousness so effortlessly–I’ve fully converted my home!” –Lauren Kleinman

“I recently started making smoothies with the "super basic" milk from Oatly, and it's a game-changer. It's made with four ingredients (oats, water, salt, and citrus fiber), and gives my breakfast drink the creamiest flavor and fluffiest texture. What's in my smoothie, you ask? Frozen berries, spinach, plain yogurt (I like Siggi's), and as much Oatly as I need to bring it together.” –Lizzy Briskin

“It is truly difficult to pick one product from YSE but I have to shout this highlighter stick from the rooftops. I've searched high and low for something so smooth, so perfectly shimmery, and in cute packaging. I add it on after the skin glow primer and I feel bright and fresh. I had never used any YSE product before and now I'm hooked and a forever customer.” –Sophie Matthews Baumann

“We all know how cute Funboy's pool floats are but I was so excited when the brand launched these adorable inflatable kids beds. I have the princess bed for my three year old and it's such a fun weekend trick to pull out even during a movie night with the family at home. It's super easy to set up and is compact enough to store away too.” –Nikita Charuza

“I saw this product on IG and had to have it as a statement piece! I'm very into mixing silver and gold jewelry right now, so the "duet" option was great for me. The brand says the clasping hands are a symbol of the strength women have when we do things together, which I love! And it's a magnetic clasp for easy on and off.” –Kaleigh Moore

“Gourmands may be having their moment, but for me, the future of fragrance is tropical—and this scent sits right at that intersection. Hakuna Matata, is the latest drop from Barcelona-based fragrance house 27 87—a brand that feels cooler than it has any right to be. The scent opens with a hit of banana candy (yes, really), slips into honey, and settles into something warm and musky, like sun-warmed skin. What sounds polarizing on paper turns out to be incredibly wearable—I find myself reaching for it daily, sometimes more than once. Consider me converted.” –Hannah Cassidy

“Shokz's are some of my favorite headphones to recommend to runners. The open ear design is so important for keeping you safe when you are running along busy streets or on routes with fast bikers. It really amazes me how well you can hear your music without something actually being inside your ear. Having had such a good experience with the OpenRun Pros, I was very excited to try out Shokz's new OpenDots. They do all the great things the original design does but now with an even lower profile and better audio. You just clip them onto the ridge of your ear like an ear cuff. They are so light, I often forget I am even wearing them.” –Kelsey Borovinsky

“Already a TQE favorite, these artisan bags from female-founded company, Parker Thatch, are versatile and perfect for packing away the essentials. I covet the Mimi bag's boxy shape in all my totes now, simply because it creates structure for the tornado of stuff that I simply cannot leave the house without (not a Minimalist here!). The great part of this tote is its dual features: The Mimi's functionality and long-wearing lifespan is one side; the other being its stylish build and materials. I love this version's cool-girl combo of a candy-apple red against a camo print. It adds a pop of personality to a bag that effortlessly reads chic and well-made.” –Diana Shi
