Filled with goose down that’ll reportedly keep you warm in temperatures down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit, Aritzia’s Super Puff jacket is a worthy closet staple for anyone who lives in a cold climate. “I can’t recommend it enough. It’s incredibly warm, even the pockets are lined with a cozy brushed material so that your hands stay extra warm,” Stephanie says.
“I have [this bag] in several colors because I love it that much. It’s the perfect size to fit everything I need,” Stephanie explains. The Madewell tote comes in six color and material combinations, but keep in mind that some options are currently backordered.
If you’re in the market for new jeans, Stephanie recommends checking out Abercrombie’s High-Rise 90s Relaxed Jean. She owns the style in multiple washes because the baggy silhouette is so versatile.
Stephanie declares this Kosas product the best brow pencil she’s ever used. The one millimeter tip makes it easy to create hair-like lines to fill in any sparse parts of your eyebrows.
This lightweight, buildable Merit formula can be used as either a foundation or a concealer. “It provides just the right amount of coverage for everyday wear,” says Stephanie.
“The benefits of red light therapy are incredible. When I use [this mask] daily, I notice a significant improvement in my skin,” Stephanie says. The FDA-cleared design can be used to prevent aging, treat blemishes and reduce redness.
Investing in an at-home sauna can be pricey—and isn’t the most space-efficient. But you can get some of the same benefits via this HigherDose infrared sauna blanket. “It’s so convenient and easy to store,” Stephanie adds.
Consider this your sign to finally invest in the cult-favorite Always Pan. Stephanie says it’s worth the hype. “It’s incredibly versatile, and the nonstick surface is amazing,” she explains.
