3. Satin pillowcases that are comfy to sleep on and keep frizzy hair at bay. They'll help minimize split ends and breakage, so you can start your day with gorgeous strands and not a lengthy styling session.
4. A JW Pei handbag because you need a chic accessory that'll hold your essentials — aka a cellphone, keys, wallet, and some lip balm. Plus, it'll complete whatever outfit you're wearing, even if it's just a basic blouse, a pair of jeans, and booties.
JW Pei is an Asian- and family-owned accessories brand based in Los Angeles. They sell minimalist handbags and shoes made with sustainable vegan materials.
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd owns this pretty accessory and said: "When I started seeing this new 'it bag' all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it's less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a nice faux-suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable 'scrunchie' design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it's a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, mask, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!"
