Nea: These earplugs, perfect for concerts or other noise reduction needs. You can enjoy a great sound quality, without hurting your ears, and look great at the same time 🤘 I use them for concerts and love them!
Mellicia: I know I’ve mentioned these before but the clogs from Boden are So comfortable. they are like slightly cushioned Birkenstocks- better than Birks but not to squishy! And the colors!
Suzanne: I cannot rave about this newest splurge purchase enough (that Mellicia has talked about). I want to marry my pants. 10 out of 5 stars on Yelp. My new best friend.
Julie B.: Continuing the shoe theme, I am in beach mode and found these jelly shoes that even smell good!
Caitlyn: I’m recovering from surgery so my OOTD are a bit repetitive right now. But I wanted to share some great undergarment finds.
Nea: This is one I almost skipped on my wishlist because it was a bit too expensive at the time, but I kept it open on a tab to track the price instead, and a month or two later it went on sale and I got it!
Mellicia: As I pack for Europe, I got this curling iron some time ago, it works in Europe and the US! It needs an adaptor but is the proper wattage. Tried it here and looking forward to doing it there. Ironically, I can’t find it anywhere else online to share with you
Suzanne: I was gifted this AMAZING makeup brush for applying foundation, and it really is a dream (but pricey)
Ashley: Not sure if anyone remembers but I worked with a shoemaker in SF on some custom boots a while ago and (due to a few delays in fabric etc), I recently got my boots and am in love! Here they are!
Mellicia: I came upon this one in the middle of creating Ashley’s wishlist
Classic Dress, Long Sleeve
Emily: I love these nexcare bandaids.
Nea: This is a shoe stretcher I’ve used and it really helped. Credit to Mellicia, who recommended it to me a while back.
Mellicia: I’ve rediscovered the face steamer my MIL bought me years ago. Despite using a zillion fancy products, this dry January has really impacted my skin. Until- I used the face steamer! And you just refill with distilled water, so no expensive products to buy.
Laura L.: I was so inspired by Mellicia’s well timed blog on barrel jeans, I got fixated on shortening the length of my barrel jeans. The ones I was wearing, but they felt off. So I used this iron on tape stuff that I used to hem my kid’s pants for a cheap, quick hem. It worked! I wouldn’t have tried this when I want a real jeans hem, but it works for pants I wear to kids birthday parties.
Laura: Hemming barrel jeans is tough because the seams are unique.
Nea: I’ve tried a lot of options, from Amazon to higher-end brands, and my top pick is Noosh. Their Sheer Fleece Tights actually deliver: no pilling (unlike most Amazon ones), the sheer illusion is on point, and they don’t do that annoying ankle-wrinkle thing. I’ve been loving them!
They are pricier, so my budget hack is: Amazon tights for everyday stuff, Noosh tights for going out
Kate: I recently got a sample of this and it's actually become my new favorite
Nea: Sharing another one — my favorite mascaras are from Benefit Cosmetics. I mostly use the BADgal Bang in black, but I just checked it also comes in brown.
Daniela: I became allergic to most medical adhesives after dealing with a lengthy wound recovery. One upside is I found these silicone tapes that are really great for people with sensitive skin. The unexpected discovery is that they’re amazing for sealing liquid and cream containers because they’re very flexible and they’re reusable!
Mellicia: I've been having tons of luck with the Desigual site lately. It's hit or miss and right now there are lots of hits for clients and for me. This striped sweater is one of my orders.
Classic-Logo T-Shirt
Bridget: Been there with the glass rings. My Tuesday tip is this pet hair / lint roller. I have been on a mission, and so far, this is the pick of the litter.
Mellicia: My favorite tool to remove pills from cashmere sweaters. And it’s super cheap!
Mellicia: This lint brush- use it prior to steaming to get the lint off.
Mellicia: Closet steamer- a huge win. It’s more like an alternative to dry cleaning than a wrinkle release solution.
Mellicia: All my off season/ not in style coats and leather jackets hang in our storage closet in these container bags to protect them. Big fan.
Mellicia: It’s very cool- and maybe if I put a more significant amount of time into it- it would be worth the price.
Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask with Under-Eye Cooling, Anti-Ageing & Blemish Repair, Red & Blue LED, Infrared Light Therapy, USB-C, Remote Control, Storage Bag, Blue Frost, FW312
Mellicia: I have a blow dryer that is a roller brush. It’s helpful to have a two hands task in a one handed tool! If you roll as you go rather than just brush, it does curl a little bit.
Suzanne: My give is this pair of metallic sneakers. I love a not-too-shiny metallic for a really versatile shoe that levels up the casual look a bit.
Laura: I like a roller brush/ dryer combo too. The Revlon one is great.
Heidi: I buy expensive bras, so I work hard to wash them pretty minimally. To help me with that and to not smash the cups into a drawer, I have a towel ladder in my closet which I drape my bras on to keep fresh and in good condition. I purchased this beauty off Amazon.
Leah: You just rub it over your shoe (leather or vegan leather, not suede) and it makes scuffs disappear and gives a fresh-looking finish. Not shiny at all, no color. Under $10. This one is out of stock online but here’s a link to similar
Mellicia: I also love a weighted vest. here's the one I have.
Henkelion Weighted Vest Weight Vest for Men Women Kids Weights Included, Body Weight Vests Adjustable for Running, Training Workout, Jogging, Walking
Mellicia: here's what I'm bringing to a gift exchange this year: LOVE giving the Express Delivery Enzyme Peel 50mL. Weirdly- here's my affiliate link for radical skincare. (rather than just that product).
Kate: i love a beautiful candle (here are three i've been gifting/burning lately from Voluspa, Boysmells, and Jones Road. there was awhile there where i was gifting girlfriends this book, and this affirmation card deck. oooh, and this blanket - not much $$ but so cozy and comforting. like an adult-sized swaddle blanket.

Affirmation Cards
Emmy: Silk pillowcase! It’s amazing for your skin and hair.
Daniela: I love my silk pillowcases too and even bring them on trips. For my travel case, I bought a really loud color so I don’t forget it at the hotel.
Mellicia: I LOVE the silk pillowcases- and the combo of a the pillowcase and eye mask is one of my favorite gift sets. When folks stay over at our place (they sleep in the same room you all know from tailoring!) I set a tray, glass carafe, glasses, a bud vase when possible and silk eye masks. I have an extra batch for visitors from Amazon.
slip 22 Momme Silk Queen Pillowcase + Pure Silk Sleep Mask Bundle – Anti-Crease & Light-Blocking Duo
Courean: One of my favorite gift items is this candle lighter at Vixen. It’s a rechargeable USB lighter. It makes the most unique gift and it looks WAY prettier sitting on the counter than a BIC
Original Motli Lighters
Ashley: I’m a bath girlie, so I love like a fancy candle (Trudon has small ones for around $50 so does Diptyque) or a bath soak (loooooove Linne’s soak)
The candles are the Maison Trudon emblematic products.
Diptyque has been transmuting light into perfume since 1963.
Soak Mineral Bath
Kate: i know i already suggested a affirmation card deck up there , but i have another one i received as a gift a bit ago that i've been enjoying on my desk at work. it's called "Powerful Women" - here's a photo of the card i drew this morning - it's got absolutely beautiful and affirming words and illustrations - for women by women. gotta love that.
Heidi: I'm a huge fan of Trader Joes, and they have the best holiday gift sets, so depending on who I'm bringing it for, I create a little collection of things from there.
Deck the Halls with So Much Good Stuff
If I'm going for a really special one fit, like for my sisters, I grab a gift set from Lush. It is so fun to get little tubes of things to try.
Suzanne: I’ve got a weighted vest and love it - it’s such a great health gift for anyone menopause +. I also love a great body oil.
