High Waisted Crossover Flare Yoga Leggings

Halara recently sent me these leggings to test out, and I loved them the instant I tried them on! They’ve already become my new go-to pair for when I’m running errands, lounging around my apartment, or whenever I’m going out but want to be comfortable. The material feels so stretchy and comfortable, and I love the super flattering flared leg and high-waisted crossover design. And I was amazed at how well they fit—as someone who’s on the shorter side, I always have trouble finding leggings that are the right length on me, but the petite size of these fit me perfectly. So glad I found my new go-to pair of leggings to live in! —Hannah Jeon, Associate Commerce Editor

Brow Freeze Gel

If there’s one thing I know, it’s that Anastasia Beverly Hills has never let me down when it comes to my brows. As a longtime fan of the brand, I was eager to try this new brow gel, and of course, I was immediately hooked. One side of the applicator features long bristles, which essentially comb my brow hairs into submission, while the other side has shorter bristles that I use to shape and touch up. The formula hasn’t been flaky once, and it holds my brows in place like glue. It’s my new go-to for fluffy, full, and natural-looking brows. I recommend wiping off some of the excess gel on the side of the bottle before applying. —Catharine Malzahn, Beauty Assistant

Adjustable Memory Foam Bed Pillow

If you’re in the market for a new pillow, listen up! I had the chance to test the popular Marlow pillow for myself, and this upgrade has made all the difference in my sleep. Not only did I notice myself tossing and turning less in the night, I also found that I fell asleep quicker! As a hot sleeper, I love that this pillow is breathable and cooling, and the customizable firmness makes it the most adaptable pillow I’ve used. Can’t recommend it enough! —Madeleine Haase, Assistant Editor

Snickerdoodle Holiday Snack Nuts

As a type 1 diabetic, I’m always on the hunt for low-carb snacks that satisfy my sweet tooth without sending me on a blood sugar rollercoaster. These snickerdoodle-flavored almonds from Blue Diamond are coated in a delicious cinnamon-sugar-flavor and I cannot get enough. With 5 g of protein and only 9 g of carbs per serving, it doesn’t spike my blood sugar like other coated nut treats. I also love the peppermint cocoa flavor for a wintertime snack! —Emily Goldman, Deputy Editor

Mighty Patch Invisible+

I am a long way from being a teen struggling with acne (thankfully!), but like many adults, I get breakouts from time to time due to hormones and other factors. These clear hydrocolloid patches from Hero Cosmetics are now my go-to for new bumps that pop up. I stick one on before bed and it absorbs the oil and impurities from the pimple overnight so it looks flatter and less inflamed the next day. The patches are so discreet, you can get away with wearing them during the day as well if needed! —April Franzino, Beauty Director

Hot Wok Set

Are you celebrating the Lunar New Year on February 10? You don’t have to be of Asian descent to appreciate and pay homage to this cultural tradition—in my half Chinese opinion, the more the merrier! And one essential if you want to put your home cook hands to the test is a good wok. I love the Hot Wok Set from Our Place. It’s made from pre-seasoned carbon steel, which is naturally nonstick and allows you to safely cook at very high heat; and it’s bundled with a lid, cooking chopsticks, a spatula, and a bamboo steamer basket for dumplings, veggies, and more. Oh, and did I mention that the wok has gorgeous gold accents? Our Place also collaborated with condiment brand Fly By Jing, so for a limited time you have the option to add on a pack of their bestselling sauces and chili crisp. Yum! —Alyssa Jung, Senior Editor

Run Visible Insulated Vest

This insulated (and bright!) vest has quickly become my new favorite piece of clothing to layer up for outdoor winter runs. It keeps my core warm, and the white color with reflective details ensures I’m visible even when the sun isn’t out. Best of all, it has two zippered pockets to hold the essentials. —Christie Calucchia, Senior Commerce Editor

Salad Container for Lunch with Ice Pack

I’ve been getting really into eating different types of fun salads lately, but have always struggled with how to pack them for lunch when commuting to the office. Then, I stumbled upon this excellent meal prep container that allows you to separate different ingredients in a compartment tray (that also fits a sauce container). I love that I can easily pack everything in one container and then mix it all together when I’m ready to eat without my salad getting soggy! Plus, it even comes with a section in the middle that holds an ice pack to keep things cold—making it easy to just throw it in your bag and go! —Shannen Zitz, Assistant Editor

Quesadilla Variety Pack

These frozen quesadillas were developed by an award-winning chef, and they taste like it. They’ve become the go-to in my house for after-school snacks (my son), lunch (me), and quick dinners on crazy nights (all of us). We heat them up on the stovetop in just a few minutes, and I swear it feels like we made them ourselves, they taste so flavorful and fresh. Worth a spot in your freezer for sure! —Sarah Smith, Editor-in-Chief

Original (30 servings)

When I first heard about Broc Shot, I was intrigued but admittedly, skeptical. Could taking this “shot” that is the equivalent of 10 pounds of raw broccoli daily have an impact on my mood, health, and wellbeing? The main ingredient is sulforaphane, which is extracted from broccoli sprouts, and is supposed to help detoxify and reduce inflammation within your body. I’m not a green juice gal so wasn’t sure how it was gonna go down, aside from quickly. The results are in and better than expected. After taking Broc Shot for over three weeks—according to the brand, you have to take it consistently to see results—I had more energy and definitely less bloating. It may have made my skin a little glowier too, but that’s hard to tell with the different skincare products I try. I definitely feel more awake and less sluggish, which had become my norm lately with two little but crazy kids. I’m definitely sticking with it and making it a part of my regular (albeit rushed) morning routine. —Dori Price, Contributing Beauty Editor

Freezable Double Bottle Bag

I have this freezable bag in two sizes and love them both. If I place the bag in the freezer overnight, it will keep two bottles of breastmilk cold for at least 12 hours the next day and I don’t have to deal with the hassle of ice packs AND a cooler. Plus, the inside is easy to wipe clean if something leaks. The company makes other sizes/shapes as well that I bet would come in handy for anyone who wants to keep food or drinks chilled all day. —Kaitlyn Phoenix, Deputy Editor, Health Newsroom

Tuna Creations Deli Style Tuna Salad (Pack of 12)

As a pescatarian, I sometimes struggle to find easy sources of protein to grab for a quick lunch when I’m working from home. I love the tuna salad at my local bagel shop, but it’s slathered in mayo, not quite the healthiest option. So when I was sent samples of Starkist’s new Deli Style Tuna Salad Creations, I was intrigued. Each 3-ounce pack is just 80 calories, with 13 g of protein. And it tastes just as creamy and yummy as my beloved bagel-shop tuna, minus the mayo (the creaminess comes from water chestnuts, soybean oil, and tangy pickle relish). I can throw this on a green salad or whole-wheat toast and feel pretty satisfied. Yes, I can just make my own tuna salad from a can, but sometimes I’m a little too lazy! And at just $1.99 a pouch, it’s a good cheap lunch. —Marisa Cohen, Deputy Editor, Health Newsroom
