Nothing makes me angrier than carrying stuff: gym clothes, suitcases, books, papers and worst of all, a stroller and car seat when I travel with my toddler. Even though I wound up with the world’s lightest umbrella stroller (hello, Maclaren Mark II) and a super light car seat (this one cannot be beat), sometimes…
Greetings from the puddle I currently live in for the foreseeable future. As the numbers on the thermometer creep higher than my high school test scores, it’s time that we talk about how not to feel like you’re walking through soup on your way to work. Looser silhouettes and light fabrics (think linen and cotton) are…
Brandless is taking on clean beauty with the newest collection of $3 products. The minimalist, affordable brand has now curated a whole line of clean beauty products and grooming tools.
The world’s top-rated board game, our readers’ favorite over-ear headphones, a Marmot sale, and more start off today’s best deals.
The equal but opposite reaction to Halo Top.
I had thought for years that I was doomed to chapped lips. Apply in the morning, continue to apply throughout the day, go to bed and wake up with bleeding lips, repeat. But now, I have more options than an oily stick of lip balm when it comes to relief, and the newest one from Kiehl’s is at the top of my…
Once the temperature reaches above 80 degrees, you can bet all my motivation of putting on a real outfit goes out the damn window. Maybe you feel the same. Throughout summer, my uniform is either a dress or shorts and a tank top, because the heat of NYC sucks up every ounce of will in my body and congeals it into a…
You need two things to make coffee: beans (ideally fresh with the means to grind them, but pods will do), and hot water (or the means to heat it). Believe it or not, the Nowpresso is the first self-contained, portable product to cover both of thoses bases.
The Epic React Flyknit from Nike is not a shoe I’d typically go for. Beyond the fact that these have a bigger offset than I like (10mm), they tout flyknit uppers and another foam trying to differentiate itself, both of which I was convinced were merely fads. But damn, when I’m wrong, I’m really wrong. Nike was able to…
The acceleration from zero to sixty in men’s premium grooming happened fast, and phase two has seen companies like Oars + Alps and Mavericks design to cut through the noise. Now Rudy’s has stepped into the ring with three great products made for pretty much everyone, and priced to shame the competition. We’re sold.
Finding shoes for a shitty commute is the bane of my existence, but Rothy’s somehow figured out how to make a flat that looks purposeful, without tearing up your heels.
You should be sleeping in cool, silent, total darkness, but that’s simply not attainable for everyone.
I’m not saying that I don’t know anything about earrings. Honestly. But to put it into perspective, the last time I had earrings in my ears was at my best friend’s wedding, where as Maid of Honor, I was the only one without them, so I shoved a pair through my closed up ear holes and sucked it up. That’s how much care…
The skyn ICELAND Fresh Start Mask is one part science project, one part soothing mask, and it’ll make you feel like your skin is starting over.
The Points Guy got its hands on Q3's 5% bonus categories for the Chase Freedom card, and while there’s nothing as broadly usable as Q1's Apple Pay category, or Q2's PayPal, you should still have ample opportunities to take advantage:
Made of premium materials and feature-packed, California Cowboy shirts are your utility belts for post-adventure chill sessions.
When outdoors, there’s nothing we’d rather drink out of than Otterbox’s new Elevation series of tumblers.
Glossier has ramped up their shade offerings on their crowd-favorite Cloud Paint blush, adding a warm rose called Storm and a sunny coral called Dawn. The gel-like consistency and almost-unmatched blendability of Cloud Paint could make even the most adamant of blush-haters into a flush-faced fiend.
Update 6/12/2018: Jackery no longer makes the Jewel, but Nomad now has a similar product. Its cable is braided, and includes a silicone cable tie, and more importantly, the battery has over six times the capacity. But at $50, it’s also significantly more expensive.
I am 100% guilty of overpacking, even on camping trips (you never know what you’ll need!). So, this post is my own call to action and catharsis as well. But there are so many versatile items out there that can be used in multiple different ways when you travel, which means you’ll have less stuff that you actually have…
