"This Joybird sofa has been a godsend. I was nervous about velvet as a choice for upholstery, but several months into having it and it cleans like a dream! Super comfy, nice low height, and super deep-seated. It adds a layer of texture to the room that I didn't know I needed. Still as comfy as the day I got it!" -Kaleigh Moore

"TBH I'm a big fan of the Dyson Airwrap at home, but I was looking for something of similar quality I could take on the road while traveling. Enter T3's Aire 360. Known for their proprietary CeraGloss™ ceramic technology, this new version is designed with travel in mind. Compact and light, it features a shorter handle, lightweight base, and an enhanced air intake and filtration system. My favorite feature? It has dual voltage to avoid pesky blown fuses while you're overseas!" - Lee Joss

Cedit: Loft

"I love a good matching moment and the second I saw Mon Coeur's newest collection with Loft I was smitten. I love the beautiful pink hue and print on these matching swimsuits. It's also just in time for Mother's Day and is pretty perfect since my plan was to head straight to the beach and have a picnic with my daughter to celebrate." -Nikita Charuza

Prime & Protect in Mother

$38

"To start, ciele can do no wrong in my eyes. Everything I've tried from this skin-first, sun-care-as-makeup line is so good, it's almost all I wear. After moisturizing, I apply this luminous primer with SPF 30. It's creamy without being greasy, and while I like all three shades, Mother (Champagne) adds a warm shimmer all over without being "too much." Then I apply my usual tinted SPF 40+. Because this primer is so lovely, I usually just add a spot of concealer, a dab of blush, and finish my look with the ciele Filter & Protect Powder. I love a multitasking product (and a 5-minute face) and this brand does both beautifully." -Deenie Hartzog-Mislock

"I've always wanted a pure boar bristle brush and now I can finally say I have one! It makes my hair feel silky, soft, shiny every morning when I use it, and throughout the day when I need a touch up. I love that this Crown Affair brush is made of ethically sourced materials. It took me a second to get used to the feel of the brush on my scalp, but now I have and I actually look forward to it. A must have!" -Naomi Joshi

"Full-body sunscreen season is finally here, and I'm so glad I discovered this gentle mineral-based SPF. I use it on my baby and myself, and my husband loves it too. It doesn't feel greasy, but the protection is long-lasting. Plus, I love that it comes in a stick (great for baby), tube, and spray." -Lizzy Briskin

"I recently tried one of Lilyeve's newest launches, and I'm already hooked. The brand's philosophy is all about how good hair starts with a healthy scalp, which instantly resonated with me. The formula is incredibly easy to use, and the built-in comb applicator not only makes application seamless, it actually feels so good. It's only been about a week, but I'm genuinely excited to see how my hair transforms over time." -Mia McManus

"As a lip combo girl, I've usually got at least three to four products in tow wherever I go. But this fwee two-in-one has made my life feel more seamless. It's got a color-matched lip liner and lipstick (which last!) all in one neat product that takes up as much space as a nice pen. This has helped me travel lighter, including on the three-week, cross-continental sojourn I just returned from." -Andrea Bossi

"I recently went to Paris and snagged the obligatory pair of ballet flats right before the trip. It was maybe a bold choice to break in new shoes on the streets of the city of love, but Aldo's Pillow Walk technology made all the difference. I walked miles every day around the city without a single blister. These are definitely going to be my go-to shoes all spring long!" -Dana Abraham

Code:

"I've never been a foundation girl, but after a recent bout with hormonal acne, I've been looking for a bit more coverage than my normal tinted moisturizer gives me. This one from Naked Sunday is the perfect in-between. It blends smoothly while both still looking like my regular skin and also covering red marks. It's also light enough that if I have it on during a workout, it's no big deal. The shade range is expansive so it's easy to find one that matches perfectly." -Hannah Singleton

Camofleur

Signature Thong

Code:

Credit: Camofleur

"I've spent decades in fashion, but never gave much thought to what goes underneath—until I found Camofleur. The female-founded brand makes what are easily the softest, most comfortable undergarments I've worn, thanks to a breathable bamboo-cotton blend. Each pair features a thin, chemical-free, leak-proof liner that smooths (yes, even cameltoe) while staying moisture-wicking and antimicrobial. I'm into all four styles—Thong, Low Rise Bikini, High Cut Brief, and Cheekini—each designed with a wide, stay-put stretch lace band that feels far prettier than the boy shorts I used to rely on. The tanks are just as chic: perfect for layering now, and easy to wear on their own come summer." - Christine Morrison

Eli & Elm

Side Sleeper Pillow

$134.99
$134.99
Code:

Credit: Eli & Elm

"As a lifelong side sleeper, I had gotten a little too used to waking up with neck soreness, noticing mornings where turning my head fully to the left or right felt impossible. It started to impact how I felt throughout the day. I had been told more than once to try a pillow designed for side sleepers, and this Eli & Elm one finally made everything click. The pillow's adjustable fill lets me dial in the exact level of support so my neck and spine stay aligned without a stiff, overcorrected feeling. The cooling factor is my boyfriend's favorite part, especially with summer approaching. For me, the biggest life-saver is how quickly I'm able to fall asleep now. It feels so good to finally understand what people mean when they say they are lights out "as soon as their head hits the pillow."" -Shei Marcelline

Zero Tube

Code:

"After watching the incredibly entertaining birding documentary Listers (no, really) I had a sudden desire to discover my inner birder. That and a spring break to Jamaica with the family justified procuring a Zero Tube from Nocs Provisions, the colorful binocular pros. It did not disappoint. Whether I was on the beach with the kids wondering if that distant shape was a whale or a wave (the answer was always wave), or while spotting our first Magnificent Frigatebird, the Zero Tube did not disappoint. At just 7.2 ounces it takes up very little luggage space, and the waterproof design is ready for just about anything. Having a tool on hand to promote curiosity about nature was a delight. The Zero Tube will have a permanent place in my backpack." -Alex Tzelnic

Methodiq

Melanex 509

$59

Code:

"As a beauty editor, I'm very selective about what I use on my skin day to day. Part of it is just exposure (I've tested a lot) but part of it is also having melasma, which makes me hyperaware of how my skin reacts to products. I've tried the standard route: prescription hydroquinone, retinoids, and plenty of brightening serums that work for a bit and then either plateau or leave my skin worse than before. That said, the Methodiq Melanex 509 is one of the very few things that's actually made my skin better. I didn't expect it to outperform my prescription hydroquinone or retinoids, but over time it absolutely has. My melasma is much lighter and my skin is more glowy overall. I'm so happy I found this, because it's made the biggest difference in my skin and my overall beauty routine!" -Lauren Harano

"Lately, I find that my dog, Henry, is living a better life than I am? Whether he's consuming dog protein bars or busy with Pupsicle Pops, his holistic endeavors are far surpassing mine (he also gets daily red light and Chinese herbs). It is therefore no surprise that kibble is out of the question for Mr. Henry. We Feed Raw has made feeding him a high-quality diet so incredibly easy. Enough meat to stock a supermarket comes every month—super clean, USDA human-grade, cold-pressurized protein (there are six options) that supports optimal digestion and the primal way dogs eat. Henry's fur is supreme, his 'movements' iconic, and I get to know I'm doing as much for his health as I can (and I can cook the food if I feel raw is too much for him). Vers AF." -Annie Goodman

Kiss Shaper Long-Lasting Sculpting Lip Liner

$29

Code:

"As a beauty editor, I've tried LOTS of liners, and some of them have been great. But this latest one for YSL has wowed me. First, the packaging is beautiful, but the formula truly stands up to its claims: transfer-resistant with up to 8 hours of wear. This liner does not budge through coffee, through ramen, through meetings. Additionally, for me, as someone with naturally dark-lined lips, the lighter hues even out my lip color before laying on nudes or pinks if I don't want any of my natural deepness to come through. And to get my perfect '90s-inspired lip, Cocoa Flirt and Espresso Dreams are my go-tos. $29 a pop for a liner, I know it's a splurge, but if you have to apply it less, I think it's worth the investment. You know: girl math." -Bianca Lambert
