The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business from Kelso, Washington. Check out this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!
"Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased an Etsy product from!" —Mal Mower
Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $16.99.
Each package contains 36 patches.
"I have written at length about how Nexcare patches are the holy grail of pimple patches, and my opinion has not changed after trying BH Cosmetic's new hydrocolloid offering. HOWEVER, even I will admit that Nexcare patches are not exactly...cute. They do not inspire selfie taking or Instagram story posting in the way that these BH cuties do (I got the pack with purple flowers, silver butterflies, and pink hearts, but there are several options). I also think these would be a better pick for people who are low-key grossed out by regular pimple patches. Personally, I LIVE for the moment when I take one off after hours of wear and see all the goop its extracted from my pores, but said goop is much, much less visible with these if that is not your grossly satisfying cup of tea. These are also much thinner than other patches I've used — they feel more like a regular sticker. Because of this, I was pretty skeptical that they would work, but they really do shrink zits. Like all acne patches, they work on pimples with a head, not the more cystic, swollen variety. It's not a magic vanishing act, but all of the whiteheads I've put them on this week have been smaller and flatter when I took them off hours later. That + cuteness + vegan and cruelty-free = a win." —Katy Herman
Get it from BH Cosmetics for $9 (available in three package designs).
To use, spray through damp or dry hair and comb through.
Mane Club is a small business based in California that specializes in vegan and cruelty-free hair products.
"I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends." —Elizabeth Lilly

Ten Wilde is a Black-owned and woman-owned all-gold jewelry line based in LA. The brand's designs are also beloved by celebs like Lily Singh, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Delilah Belle.
"I have a ~thing~ for simple gold jewelry — especially versatile pieces I don't have to fuss with. I throw these babies on whenever I want to look like I put in a little more effort than usual and they totally do the trick! My favorite part is how lightweight they are — they don't tug at my ears or feel heavy after hours of wear." —Chelsea Stuart
Get them from Ten Wilde for $30.
Ideal Bookshelf is a small business based in Maui, Hawaii that creates bookish products like custom paintings and prints of customers' favorite books.
"When my two loves (books and coffee, of course) meet, it's always a beautifully magical thing. I love that I have so many of the books featured on this mug. Humble brag, I know. And as a Black woman writer myself, it's inspiring to be able to hold so many Black women authors in my hands at the same time! Plus, the colors are super vibrant, making the covers look super realistic. And they are. Because the book covers displayed are exact replicas of the *actual* books themselves! Burnt coffee never tasted better. Yes, I burn my coffee sometimes." —Taylor Steele
Get it from Ideal Bookshelf for $18.
It also features a towel loop on the side so you don't have to fling it over your shoulder anymore!
"They say dress for the job you want so believe me when I tell you that when you put on this apron you feel like you can accomplish just about anything you put your mind to. Thanksgiving dinner? You've got this! The first grilling of the summer? If you've got the meat then I've got the heat! Home projects that'll leave a trail of sawdust in your ever-productive wake? Bring. Them. On. I love my Hedley & Bennet apron and I can't imagine that I'll ever need to buy another in my lifetime. It's that sturdy!" —John Mihaly
Promising reviews: "I was looking for an apron that would be long enough for my partner. He is 6'6" and not at all gangly. This apron was actually long enough for him, is a great quality, and looks very good." —Gabrielle I.
Get it from Hedly & Bennett for $95 (available in three colors; add personalized embroidery for an extra $15).

You pick from 14 recipes that change every week, the ingredients are shipped to your door, and you'll be able to cook your recipe in 30 minutes or less!
"Planning meals and going to the grocery store is the actual bane of my existence. The fact that EveryPlate sends me everything I need at a very affordable price is such a weight lifted off my shoulders! This photo is of a real recipe I've made, and loved, and have actually recreated on my own many times since! I've been using EveryPlate pretty regularly for over two years and there has never been a recipe I (a novice chef, at best) couldn't handle." —Danielle Healy
Get a subscription from EveryPlate starting from $4.99 per serving.
The Bubblewrap cream is made with hyaluronic acid, squalane, and avocado oil, plus antioxidant-rich blueberry extract.
"My eyes are RIDICULOUSLY sensitive. I've had to toss so many eye creams because my eyes would water or breakout almost immediately. But this — this is what I've been looking for. First of all, the formula is perfect. You know how some eye creams are so thick it feels like they never sink in, or are so thin it's basically like applying water? This is the perfect gel-cream texture that's easy to apply but still feels like it's actually doing something. It's definitely helped reduce the fine lines in the corners of my eyes, and the fact that it's also an effective lightweight lip balm is just the cherry on top." —Daniel Boan
Get it from Glossier for $26.
Every Nisolo purchase ensures a living wage to 100% of the people creating the products in their factory and enables the brand to pursue living wages throughout the rest of their supply chain.
"I usually buy one pair of huaraches each summer and wear them EVERY day. This year I got this pair! I got them a few weeks ago (a pair for myself and a matching pair for my husband) and I'm a big fan! Once broken in they continue to feel sturdy and secure. I love wearing a shoe that looks light and summery, but also feels like my feet have real protection." —Mal Mower
Get it from Nisolo for $120 (available in women's sizes 5-11 and seven colors).
"Sleeping and being nosy are two of my cats' favorite activities so they were instantly drawn to this hammock. I have it on a window that faces our backyard so they can watch birds, people, and trash that just floats by (<3 you Brooklyn). It's very sturdy and we haven't had any issues with it falling." —Chelsea Stuart
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
Black Gold Luxury Brand is a Black woman-founded small business dedicated to making high-quality, nontoxic candles and body products.
"My roommate and I splurged on this candle and a few others from Black Gold Lux Brand and they did not disappoint! They totally transform any space they're in, which makes a world of difference since we're home all the time. I can't wait to buy more." —Christine Forbes
Get it from Black Gold Luxury Brand for $24.99+ (available in two sizes).
"I was never really a tennis shoe person, but then I moved to New York and needed to become one because of the whole 'walking everywhere' thing. These are really comfy, go with everything, and are all-around a great shoe. I'll be buying a new pair when mine finally give out (from no fault of their own, I've just put an INTENSE amount of miles on them in the two years and change I've had them)." —Rachel Dunkel
Get a pair from Zappos for $79.95+ (available in women's sizes 5-11 and five colors).
You can customize your pack by picking out your size, cut, and color of each pair of underwear.
"I love MeUndies — they're super cozy, wildly soft, and I love the variety of cuts! I have some briefs from them that I would colloquially say I 'live in,' but since they're underwear and must be washed after one day of wear, I'll more accurately say I live in them once a week, if I find the energy to do laundry. The long leg styles also makes them perfect for sleeping in when a baggy pajama bottom just doesn't sound comfortable." —Rachel Dunkel
Get a customized pack from MeUndies starting at $15 per pair (available in 21 designs & women's and men's sizes XS–2XL).
"It's quite expensive but trust me, I wouldn't have bought myself a second jar if it didn't actually 1) fade post-acne marks I've struggled with for months, 2) keep my skin feeling silky smooth, and 3) have such a delicious, inviting scent!! It tingles slightly the first time, but the caviar lime smells so amazing and feels so soothing. I use this twice a week and leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing with cold water (as my former dermatologist instructed me to do when using strong treatments).
It's been about six months and my skin looks so much brighter and I've seen such great improvement in dark acne marks that I have (yay!!). With other products, by the time I start making some progress fading old marks, I break out again and get NEW marks on top of those. This peel fades my marks quickly enough to slow down that never-ending cycle. I think this is the best my skin has looked in my adult life!" —Jasmin Suknanan
Get it from Saks Fifth Avenue for $95.
"Choosing rugs for an entire house is surprisingly really difficult! My husband and I debated for a while and finally settled on this beauty — we have no regrets! It was VERY heavy to carry up a small flight of stairs (that's on us) but mainly because it's more plush than it appears online. I had planned to get a rug pad for under it but didn't need one since it's already so comfortable and thick! It came in perfect condition and we couldn't be happier with the way it pulls together our living room." —Heather Braga
Get it from Boutique Rugs for $59.60+ (available in five sizes).
"I want to meditate. I really do. And I have, but never consistently. As a father of two (that are two and under) spare moments are usually spent trying to remember all of the things I forgot to do during the day. So when given the chance to test out a Walden meditation cushion, I figured, why not? At the very least it would be one more comfortable place to park my tired ass. And while I haven't gotten much deeper into my meditation practices (I'm certainly staring into the abyss, not sure if the abyss is staring back) the cushion has given me ample excuses to sit down, catch my breath, and give myself a little time for, well, myself. It's certainly comfy and my son loves to plop down on it too for storytime. Worth it!" —John Mihaly
Get it from Walden for $85+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
"This is my favorite perfume OF ALL TIME (and I mean that with every fiber of my being). It's one of the most fresh scents with just a hint of florals and a hint of sweetness and I always get compliments on it. It also smells AMAZING on everyone. If you're on the market for a new perfume — this is your answer." —Ali Faccenda
Get it from Saks Fifth Avenue for $108+ (available in two sizes).
Loup is a woman-founded small business that sells Parisian-inspired attire.
"Seriously get these pants! They're sooo stretchy and comfortable. I'm a big fan of the straight leg fit and I like that, despite being stretchy, the pants never lose their shape. If they ever get too loose, I can just wash them and they shrink right back. The button closure is reversed so there was a little learning curve to get used to it, but obviously not a problem." —Bek O'Connell
Get them from Loup for $120 (available in women's sizes XS-2X).
"Soooo, this is Mr. Whale, at least that's what he's called in our house. My knees and I love him so much that I've even started to sing a song about him every night at bath time (come to think of it, it's more of a sea shanty). And it goes a little something like this: 'He's Mr. Whale, he's Mr. Whale. He's got a tail(tale)...to telllllllll / When you set sail, please do not fail, to say hellllllllooooo!' It's just my little way of thanking him for his consistent quiet service in offering just the right amount of cushiness so I don't have to make that "old-man-getting-up" noise every time I've finished bathing my child." —John Mihaly
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
Beauty Strike is a Brooklyn-based small business founded by Emani Mone Jeter, a third-generation Beauty professional and licensed esthetician. She creates natural cleansers, toners, treatments, moisturizers, and more.
"My skin was about as tight as Kim K's Mugler dress when I decided to switch to this toner. It's non-irritating, and I love that the spray bottle doesn't require me to touch my face." —Christine Forbes
Get it from Beauty Strike for $14+ (available in two sizes).
"I have never been an electric toothbrush person but Quip has swayed me. I like how sleek and small it is and the fact that I don't have to plug it into anything or take up extra counter space. Best of all, though, is the built-in two-minute timer which buzzes every 30 seconds to let me know it's time to brush a different part of my mouth. Before, when I used a regular ol' bamboo toothbrush, I really thought I was getting in a full two minutes but boy was I wrong 😬I can *definitely* tell a difference in how clean my teeth feel after using Quip." —Chelsea Stuart
Get it from Quip for $35+ (available in six colors and plastic or metal handles).
The brand, Acorn, reuses algae, which is harmful to the environment, and creates a safe and stable compound that's used in the indoor/outdoor sole.
"Ever since the pandemic started, I've been a slipper snob. What's funny is I actually never really owned any pairs of slippers before working remotely and now I don't know how I've ever lived without them. These ones from Acorn are so lightweight and are great if you have tile or hardwood floors. They don't slip and keep my feet warm without making them sweat. They also look cute on so I have no complaints about these. If you want to feel like you're living the lap of self-care luxury while simultaneously walking on clouds, then do yourself a favor and snag a pair of these." — Ali Faccenda
Get them from Acorn for $55 (available in women's sizes S–XL).
"When I say that this has changed my life, I mean it. Truly, my boyfriend and I should be the next spokesperson for Tushy, because we've RAVED about it to anyone who is wiling to listen us talk about our butts. The amount of toilet paper we've saved since we started using this just a couple months ago...unfathomable. Not only is it great for the environment, it's great for the bum, too. No more harsh wiping and going through 15 sheets of paper just to feel clean. This actually makes you feel clean, like you took a shower without the hassle of, you know, taking an entire shower. EVERY TOILET NEEDS THIS!" —Kayla Suazo
Get it from Tushy for $99 (available in eight different color combinations).
Butter by Keba is a Black woman-owned small business founded by Makeba Lloyd and based in NYC. Their plant-based formulas are made with natural organic essential oils, phthalate-free fragrance, and are paraffin-, petroleum-, and mineral oil-free.
"I've been using this body butter for over six months and simply adore it. It goes on in such a perfectly smooth, hydrating layer and soaks into skin quickly while moisturizing literally all day. I have it in the scent La Vera which is delicately light and fresh. One of the things I like most about the body butter is the level of scent — it's not too overwhelming but is definitely present, and most importantly subtly lasts all day." —Rachel Dunkel
Get it from Butter by Keba for $20+ (available in two sizes and 10 scents).
Jing Gao, the founder and CEO of Fly By Jing, is a chef, entrepreneur, and a globally renowned expert on Chinese cuisine. While the flavors are inspired by her hometown of Chengdu, Jing's recipes are deeply personal and offer a unique taste you won't find anywhere else.
"I got this sauce as a gift, and I have been obsessed ever since I tried it. It combines the most prized Sichuan peppercorns with fragrant dried chilies, fermented black beans, garlic, shallots and more for a numbing, umami-rich flavor that has enhanced truly everything I've tried it on — without overpowering the other flavors. I've been struggling to find the right sauce to take my home-cooked dishes to the next level, and let me tell you, this is it! Plus, the packaging is super cute and thoughtful, and mine even came with a beautiful little zine that includes a breakdown of the ingredients, some amazing recipe ideas, and more!" —Jonathan Mazzei
Get it from Amazon for $17.98.
"I recently invested in the pink version of this chair and I LOVE IT. It was SO easy to set up, like easy enough that I didn't need directions, and looks every bit as beautiful in person as it did on the product page. I have my desk set up in my bedroom right now where I have a vaguely pastel pink aesthetic going and this just instantly elevated the whole room. The swivel on this is 360 degrees and deeply satisfying, and the height adjuster is generous and easy to use, which is great because sometimes I go back and forth between using this at my desk or my window ledge. It's also comfy without being *too* comfy. Like, it keeps me cozy on Zoom calls without being so padded I want to fall asleep. It's also nice and lightweight (which was a concern for me, because I had to singlehandedly lug the box up four flights of stairs, OOPS)." —Emma Lord
Get it from Amazon for $138.80+ (available in 11 colors).
"I call these my adulting books. Before these I had no real understanding of money and financial literacy or cooking something other than pasta for dinner, but these two books were a great first step in acknowledging that I could be handling my money better and not ordering out so much. The budget planner comes with great layouts, examples on how to fill them in, and stickers! And the recipe book can hold 50 recipes and comes with a table of contents so you find your go-to's so easily (you won't have to read through that blogger's story about how her limoncello cupcakes saved her grandfather from war or anything!)" —Skyler Murry
Get the recipe book on Amazon for $7.99 and the budget planner for $19.99 (available in 20 colors).
The set comes with a duvet cover, a pair of pillowcases, and a fitted sheet.
Piglet is a woman-owned small business that was founded in the UK in 2017.
"This set finally made me understand the hype around linen bedsheets. They are truly superior. This set exudes comfiness, doesn't make me feel too hot, and adds a homey, cozy vibe to my room. I got the oatmeal color and I love that it's so calm and neutral. I'm actually not big on duvets, I feel like they can be a pain to jam your comforter into and they never stay in place. However, that was not the case with this one! The buttons down the side made it a pretty smooth process and ever since I got my comforter inside, it hasn't bunched up or moved out of place. I've been sleeping so great in my linen cloud of comfy." —Kayla Boyd
Get a sheet and pillowcase set from Piglet for $313+ (available in 15 colors; sheets available in sizes twin to California king and pillowcases available in standard, queen, or king size)
This polish has pumice and hydrated silica to gently exfoliate, while coconut extract, shea butter, and vitamin E nourish and soften.
"I can't rave enough about this stuff! I've been using this for months and I *truly* can't figure out how a product that feels THIS luxurious can be this price. I love taking baths and it often takes a toll on my dry skin. If I polish up with this, I leave even the hottest/longest of soaks with skin that feels moisturized and super smooth. I also *love* the smell. It reminds me of the perfume I'd steal from my mother's vanity as a kid. Seriously, get this in your bathroom stat." —Mal Mower
Get it from L'ange for $18.
