Yoga Mat - This Amazon yoga mat I bought in 2019 is still going strong after a lot of heavy use! It’s not so thick that it rips easily, and it’s not too thin to where it hurts your knees during floor work. I love that it’s dual sided and comes with an elastic carrying strap.
Long Sleeve Tee - This light weight, copped boxy tee from Target has been worn on repeat! I got this $10 shirt in two different colors (blue and white), and while they’re great for winter, I think they’ll be light enough to wear into Spring. Super versatile and affordable. I recommend getting your true size, as it’s designed to be boxy and slouchy.
Perfect White Tee - Amazon’s line called “The Drop” has some great, high quality basics, and this $19 shirt is no exception. I love the thick neckline, and because I already had a true, cropped white tee, I went up one size in this shirt for a more relaxed fit. I’m a true XS and got size S.
Gemma Hoops - These got a feature in a Sunday Summary newsletter not too long ago for good reason! These have been worn weekly since I got them, and I was proud to support Jean Wang and her Edited Pieces line filled with high-quality, thoughtful staples with petites in mind.
Facial Wax Kit - I hesitated even featuring this, because I’ve always found unwanted facial hair to be crazy embarrassing. Then I had to wake up and realize this product wouldn’t exist if I were the only one in the world with this issue, so here we are. These are effective, easy to use, and affordable!
Saie Sun Melt Bronzer - If you’ve been intimidated to try cream bronzers - start with this one. It applies just like powder bronzer with my favorite bronzer brush, and the light bronze shade looks incredibly natural on my super pale complexion. This brand also insists on creating products that are safe for both you and the planet.
Necessaire Kit - I recently bought The Body Ritual kit from Necessaire after hearing so much hype about the products and realized a couple of the products truly are worth the hype - namely, their lotion and body wash. This brand is also doing great things for people and the planet!
Merit Mascara - I also tried this kit from Ilia. I loved the Merit mascara I had been using so much, that I wanted to explore other mascaras from eco conscious brands. Spoiler alert: I liked the Fullest Volumizing Mascara over the Limitless Lash, but they both had a little transfer. Both lip products in the kit were awesome!
Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip - I raved about these products back in October, and I am still using them almost daily. They do a great job of moisturizing, adding a flattering color, and providing a glossy shine. They are pricy individually, but if you can find them in a kit - don’t hesitate!
