"I love me a good face mask. Like, a lot. But with so many similar products on the market, it's hard to figure out which ones are worth the money and which ones are...less worth it. What I love about the Boscia Matcha Magic mask is how it makes my skin feel afterwards: smooth, dewy, and friggin' FLAWLESS. It was just the ticket for chilling out a bunch of hormonal breakouts — I'm talking *noticeable* improvement in redness and swelling. And since I live in a big city, I like that it keeps my skin protected from things like pollution. I even slapped a bit onto my partner's face (y'know, as a bonding experience) and now it's one of his most-used skincare products." —Victoria Kuglin

"I've been diving into Elizavecca's products lately and I've loved everything I've tried. This leave-in hair essence is no exception. As someone who loves to play with hair dye and styling, I'm always on the hunt for products that'll help fix the mess I've made of my mane (pro tip: don't bleach your hair at home three times in one night. Learnt that the hard way.). I use this after a shower and I find it lets me air-dry my hair without worrying about it becoming so frizzy that I look like I just walked out of a science exhibit. My hair feels super soft in the days afterwards and I only need a little bit each time, despite having Sasquatch-thick hair.
Pro tip: if your tresses are in an even more dire state and need extra TLC, you can try the popular Elizavecca Protein Treatment first, and then follow up with the essence." –Cece Xue

"I bought my first one a couple years ago and now I have a small and colourful collection of Baggu bags. I usually carry a small purse, so I always keep one with me to fit the random bits and bobs I buy when I'm out. They're so durable and spacious that I only need a few to carry my groceries and they've never ripped, snapped, or buckled under pressure. And can I just mention how cute the patterns are? Plain plastic bags are so two thousand and late. I'm all about the stylish and reusable shopping bags now!" —Kaysey Davis

"I played one of these with my friends and we had a blast. We pride ourselves with being clever and good at these types of puzzles, but the clues and activities in this game gave us a total run for our money (in the best way). The riddles really made us think and by the time we had finished we already bought another one." —Bianca Guzzo

"You know what I love? Plants. You know what I buy too many of? Plants. It's a great problem to have, but, as a self-proclaimed home decor queen, I'm very particular about the homes I give my leafy bbs. I love finding cute pots, but I like everything to be unique, which can be a challenge. My boyfriend’s sister recently gifted us this adorbs canvas pot cover from Etsy and I am obsessed (I mean, do you SEE it). I love that I can use it to conceal a boring plastic pot, so I don’t have to invest in a new home for a freshly-bought pathos right away, and that it's a breeze to clean (I can just throw it in the wash if when it gets muddy). And, if one day when I'm old and grey, my plants all die, I will definitely repurpose it as a trinket dish for all my bits, bobs, and Werther's caramel candies." —Alice Prendergast

"I love my bed. I pile it high with pillows. I spend weeks sourcing pillowcases and sheets and duvet covers. So believe me when I say this: you need this duvet cover. My partner is a hot sleeper and this is the first one that hasn't turned him into a damp, sweaty mess. I'm honestly surprised by its affordable price point, too — I've compared it to other, more expensive bedding I've used in the past and this one beats it by a mile. Plus, it's easy to care for (machine-washable, baby!) and somehow still looks great when it's wrinkly and crinkly after a good night's snooze. If I could cover my entire house in this fabric, I would. Oh, and each duvet cover comes with matching pillowcases!" —Victoria Kuglin

"I admit, this was an impulse buy, but I do not regret it one bit. I've never really put much stock in microfibre cloths and could not see what the hype was about. Only after reading the many 5-star reviews (one person talked about using them to bathe their tot, and if they're good enough for baby skin...) was I convinced to give 'em a go. Let me tell ya, these babies took off grease and makeup with so little effort. I'll run one under water, squeeze out the excess, and just press it on my face. When I go to use my cleanser, it feels like the soap actually does something (a.k.a. not just mix with the oils in my skin and leave behind a film that most nights I'm too lazy to deal with). They're soooooo soft and have been saving me on a ton of cleanser. Plus, my skin hasn't felt so fresh since my double-cleansing days, when I'd spend five-ten minutes every night working foam into my face — and at a fraction of the cost and time involved." –Cece Xue

"Until very recently, I was one of those stuck-up people who thought reading anything other than *actual* books was — how do I put this lightly? — stupid. Well, I am now eating my words because I am obsessed with my Kindle Oasis. I seriously cannot get enough of it. I like that you can adjust the brightness when it's dark, but read it without searing your retinas when it's light out, thanks to like paper-like quality of the screen. I also love that I can take it in the bathtub and not fear soaking every page and making my novels unreadable (been there, hate that). Plus, if I have a hard time making out words on the page, I can magnify the font and change the boldness of the text. This baby is definitely going with me on my next vacation — I already have it packed with books and ready to go." –Alice Prendergast

"I bought this on a whim when I ran out of my favourite setting powder that got discontinued. This has now taken the top spot as my MVP powder, and it's SO affordable. It comes with so much product in the tub and it is truly invisible on the skin. I love that it never creases under my eyes and keeps my face matte all day long, too." —Bianca Guzzo

"I've worn these earrings every👏single👏day👏 since I got them. They've got just the right amount of dangle to be visible under hats and hair, while being so lightweight and comfortable that I don't even notice they're on. I've got pretty sensitive lobes, too, and I haven't seen a smidge of irritation or tarnish (my worst nightmare, TBH). I stack mine with a fancier pair of huggies and honestly, you can't even notice a difference in quality." —Victoria Kuglin

"Is it possible to get *this* excited about a sponge? Because holy heck, this baby is amazing. The scrubbing side feels surprisingly soft (so much so that I'll admit I was a little doubtful about their efficacy), but let me tell you, it can handle EVERY mess you throw at it. I've used it to scrub dirty dishes, countertops, and even food splatter off my cooktop. Its cleaning powers aside, it has one huge advantage over other sponges: it always rinses clean!!!! I don't know what kind of magic this thing is imbued with, but even sticky grime — like the stuff left behind by eggs, cheese, and sauces — doesn't stand a chance. Do yourself a favour and make the swap." —Victoria Kuglin

"I have recently come to the realization that while I emotionally feel like a baby at all times, my skin hasn’t gotten the memo that it should maintain its youthful elasticity and plumpness (rude, IMO). As we all know from TikTok derms, the key to maintaining perfect, glowy, stunning skin is retinol, and these eye masks are packed with it. I’ve used them a couple times and I must say, I love ‘em. They’re super refreshing, so they’re great for lazy (or hungover) mornings because they instantly make me feel more awake. They're also HUGE and cover more surface area than any other eye masks I've tried, which means I'm getting more bang for my buck — obvi, a major win. And while I haven’t developed crow’s feet yet, I am pretty positive these will keep them at bay, because my skin feels instantly firmer after using them." —Alice Prendergast

"My dog, Aiya, has been suffering from teenage acne for the past year. And I mean the poor girl's been covered from head to toe in blackheads, painful cysts, and red, angry bumps ☹️. We've been doing mud masks and hot coconut oil treatments but still haven't seen major results. Recently, she had a particularly bad flare-up that covered her entire back and legs in crusty, flaky bumps. She's been allergic to foods before, so I decided to try switching that up first. After hours of research, I settled on Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach. The rave reviews, the fact that it's gluten-free, but not grain-free (we try to avoid peas and potatoes, which are in most grain-free formulas), and the smaller kibble sizes are what sold me. After just a few days of slowly making the swap, I noticed the crusties had begun disappearing. Her skin feels softer and is definitely calming down. Plus, neither she nor my other dog, Yuki, (who both have temperamental digestions) have thrown up since starting on this food, so I'm pretty grateful to not have to wrestle them away from eating their own vomit." –Cece Xue
