I thought this would be an interesting rubric for sharing some of my absolute favorite purchases over the past few years with you: which products do I urgently text my sisters about? Amidst pictures of Josh Hartnett (our curious sisterly obsession), stirring and provocative articles, inside jokes, and check-ins, you will nearly always find me evangelizing on account of some product or other.
I am certain I have mentioned all of these across the blog at some point, but here they are, in shortlist form:
THE BEST BRA (WORTH INVESTMENT)
INEXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVE TO HANKY PANKIES (MY SISTERS AND I OTHERWISE RELY ON THE PAIRS MY MOM STUFFS IN OUR STOCKINGS EACH YEAR — HA!)
HARNEY AND SONS SOBA TEA (WELL, MY SISTER RECOMMENDED THIS TO ME FIRST AND I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT NOW)
KINDLE PAPERWHITE (CHANGED MY LIFE)
ARTIS ELITE MIRROR OVAL BRUSH (HOLY COW, THIS IS AMAZING — I THINK I’VE BEEN APPLYING TINTED MOISTURIZER WRONG MY WHOLE LIFE)
DAVEK MINI UMBRELLA (SO LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT, YET SO STURDY)
LONG IPHONE CHARGING CABLE (I WAITED WAY TOO LONG TO BUY ONE OF THESE — I LOVE THAT I CAN ROLL AROUND IN BED WITH MY PHONE CHARGING WHEN USING IT)
SPEAKING OF CHARGING – THIS CUBE POWER STRIP, WHICH SITS ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE AND IS SUCH A DELIGHT FOR EASILY UNPLUGGING/PLUGGING THINGS
THE ABSOLUTE BEST MASK FOR GLOWING SKIN (LEAVE ON OVERNIGHT)
COMPRESSION CUBES WHEN SPACE IS AN ISSUE; CLEAR PACKING CUBES FOR EVERYTHING ELSE
NONE HAVE HAD A C-SECTION, BUT I WOULD SEND THEM A PACK OF THESE POSTPARTUM UNDERWEAR (SO SOFT AND BLESSEDLY HIGH-WAIST) AND A PRETTY STEPSTOOL FOR GETTING INTO AND OUT OF BED
BABY BJORN MINI FOR ITTY BITTIES
WEEZIE SHORT ROBE AND MAKEUP TOWELS
HHH NAP DRESS (THESE ARE SO COMFORTABLE – I WAS WORRIED THE SMOCKING/CINCHING WOULD BE ITCHY BUT IT IS SO, SO SOFT AND THE FABRICS JUST GORGEOUS)
GLYCOLIX ELITE 15% TREATMENT PADS
ANY OF THESE BOOKS AND THE BEST CONTEMPORARY BOOK I’VE READ THIS DECADE (…?!)
J. CREW BLACK ELSIE PUMPS (<<ON SALE HERE) — THE PERFECT HEIGHT, THE PERFECT POINTED TOE, IN TIMELESS BLACK SUEDE YES YES YES
I’m sure I’ll think of others…
What else have you urgently texted your sisters (or girlfriends) about?!
P.S. On the topic of sisterhood: this series of 40 portraits of sisters taken together every year for 40 years was moving and beautiful and I’m totally in love with stylish sisters Shelcy and Christy.
P.P.S. Currently in my shopping cart: this belt, these Nicholas Kirkwood sandals, this breezy day dress, one of these totes with my initials on the side, and this happy cocktail dress.
P.P.P.S. On siblinghood.
