1. O'Keeffe's hand cream for soothing your raw-looking hands after you've washed them for the 100th time today (and 20 seconds each round, no less!). It works quickly and effectively to repair cracked skin and blisters, while also ~sealing~ that much-needed moisture for as long as possible.
2. A one-step Revlon hair dryer and volumizer brush because even if you're working from home, you deserve the feeling of freshly blown-out hair! And this handy tool lets you dry and style at the ~same dang time~, so you can go from frizzy to fab in a flash!
3. A pair of blue-light blocking glasses that'll alleviate eye strain and headaches caused by blue light emitting from your laptop, TV, and phone — especially now that our work and free time (hello, Netflix marathons and lots of FaceTime sessions) are blending together and limited to one space, let's make sure to take care of those peepers!
4. A cooling, pillow-like eye compression mask with the ability to conform to the shape of your face/eyes to mitigate headaches (especially light-induced ones!), sinus pain, eye puffiness, and eye strain. Time to get the deep sleep you deserve, stress be darned!
5. A well-loved cold brew maker to satisfy your intense iced coffee cravings sans expensive coffee shop runs (your wallet thanks you, even if it's involuntary on your part) or your office's free supply (miss you dearly!).
6. A cute 'n' casual Everlane T-shirt dress so you feel a little more ~put together~ than, say, wearing your college sweatshirt and sweatpants every day. You'll still feel just as comfy but you add in a lil' cute factor — which never hurts. And it might even help your productivity!
7. A gel-enhanced memory foam seat cushion for extra, much-needed support so your back/tailbone pain doesn't dare mess with you as the day drags on, because we're all basically glued to our flimsy chairs indefinitely. *sigh* The least we can do is make sure our posture doesn't suffer!
8. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite for some much-needed separation between you and your Internet-enabled devices and the hectic-ness of the news (sigh), and to kickstart (or re-kickstart) your love for reading. You can instantly buy and download books, it's thin and lightweight, and the glare-free display reads like real paper even when you're perched right next to a window on a sunny day.
9. A mouse pad weekly planner so you can literally see all of your tasks at a glance, rather than shuffling through your scattered notes (phone reminders, Google Docs, etc.) or relying on your own fuzzy memory — I'm speaking from very personal experience, so I need this ASAP.
10. Or an undated and guided habit tracker to create a schedule that'll hopefully make things feel a little more ~normal~ during these very not-normal times, and gently remind you to keep up the self-care habits that help you stay centered.
11. If you're an anxious person who deals with insomnia and has a super hard time falling asleep, I personally swear by Olly Restful Sleep gummies to help signal to my anxious brain that it's time to shut down, thanks to a very reasonable dose of melatonin and l-theanine, lemon balm, and chamomile. Now more than ever, it's important to keep a consistent sleep schedule!
12. Rael Acne Healing Patches that'll stop you from being your own worst enemy and picking at breakouts, worsening the healing process, and causing scars!! All you have to do is pop one on and let it ~do its thing~ over a few hours or overnight. *waves goodbye to stubborn zits*
13. A pet hair remover for anyone who has seen an uptick in fur left literally everywhere in your home, which can definitely be attributed to your fur babies being (rightfully) excited and more rambunctious 'cause you're suddenly at home way more than before.
14. A Mediheal x BTS sheet mask set to infuse the all-encompassing, chart-topping powers of the global pop sensations into your skin, so it becomes more dewy, plump, and even-toned than you thought was possible! This is the all-star treatment your face deserves, and now your schedule allows for it.
15. A cult-favorite Verb hair oil that'll revitalize dry, coarse hair without weighing it down one bit, because you don't deserve to deal with bothersome frizz even you're chilling at home all the time. Plus, you'll look on-point for all of your Zoom meetings!
16. A handy microwaveable pasta cooker so you can make al dente pasta with minimal effort — just heat it up, pop on the lid (which acts as a strainer) to drain, add your fave pasta sauce and whatever else you'd like (if you're feeling fancy), and your lunch/dinner/midnight snack is served.
17. If you find yourself consuming more wine at home (this absolutely applies to me), BPA-free Yeti wine tumbler cups might just save you from your clumsy self, since they're shatterproof and made out of stainless steel, unlike regular wineglasses. Plus, the double-walled vacuum insulation keeps your drink cold for hours, so you can slowly sip to your liking.
18. But if any tipsy spills do happen, no sweat! Wine Away stain remover will magically erase stains from last night (or even a month ago!) in less than five minutes. There's no bleach required, and it even smells like fresh citrus! Win-win.
19. A nifty Rapid Slicer tool, since you're trying to get the hang of this whole cooking thing and definitely don't trust yourself too much around knives (for the time being). It makes awkwardly small fruits and veggies a total breeze to slice, and it also works well on hard-to-cut, textured food like chicken breasts. Bravo!
20. Or, if you want to avoid knives altogether and the recipe calls for it, an as-seen-on-TV food chopper to expertly dice, mince, peel, slice, and grate your way to a delicious meal. Plus, no onion tears. 'Nuff said.
21. A chic insulated Welly water bottle for staying properly hydrated all day, especially because you're probably parked at your desk or couch workin' away and don't take your usual refill breaks around the office. And it has a filter you can use for tea or infusing fruit into your water to ~mix it up~.
22. An Olive & June cuticle serum because your nails deserve to look hydrated and healthy, even if they're residing in the capital of Obsessive Hand-Washing Town. And there's no time like now to perfect your at-home mani (hint: see next product)!
23. An instant-drying Sally Hansen nail polish so you're not inclined to ruin your nails (no biting, even if we're in very anxiety-inducing times!) *and* you get a lovely mani that you won't mess up in approx. 0.5 seconds after you've finished.
24. A Glossier skincare mini set that'll be the perfect starter skincare routine for people who've been curious, but haven't ~delved~ into it quite yet. This comes with all of the basics: cleanser, serum, moisturizer, oil, and salves/balms. It's time to finally achieve healthy, dewy skin!
25. Drawer organizers because all this time spent at home means avoiding chores (i.e. putting clothes away) is much harder...especially when it's staring you in the face all the time. And this is a big helper, so you don't have to start from scratch.
26. Mario Badescu facial sprays to add some much-needed hydration to your dry, tight, and social distancing face in a matter of seconds — and because we all need to look away from our computer, even if it's only for a few seconds.
27. A sous vide cooker that'll do all of the heavy lifting and ensure that your meats, vegetables, fish, rice pudding, egg cups, and even infused-liquor cocktails are cooked to utter perfection (no overcooking ever again!) — it controls and tracks the temperature and time very precisely, which leaves you free to do other things.
28. A surge protector with multiple, PIVOTING outlets (because giant plugs don't really play nicely with others), so you can stay totally plugged in without blowing a circuit *and* don't end up in a fight with your roommate over limited outlets in your old apartment.
29. A customized Care/of vitamins subscription, so you can stay accountable while doing the least, especially if you're currently subsisting on frozen meals that might not be the most nutritious options (....me). After you take a quiz, Care/of takes care of the rest and delivers a custom mix of vitamins straight to your door.
30. Then I Met You Cleansing Balm, because we're all about sanitizing and cleaning right now, but even if you're at home all day, you can't forget about the residue on your face! And I guarantee you that this is the most relaxing method of cleaning because you get to ~massage~ it in and truly slow/wind down for the day.
With the help of these products you can be (genuinely) chill:
