Sophie Lou Jacobsen x The Qi Bloom Glass Teapot
"I've always been an avid tea drinker, so I love using this stunning bloom glass teapot to brew my cup of tea. Its funky design and iridescent finish make the whole brewing process feel so fun. Even when I leave it out on my countertops, it blends in as part of my decor." -Jane Kim, Associate Editor
BÉIS The Cosmetic Case
"This now-iconic travel brand has redefined the travel experience for the better. There is so much thought and detail in every Béis product, and this cosmetic case is no different and is truly a game changer. No more multiple single-use bags or multiple cosmetic bags to haul your holy grail products. This case not only has a removable brush holder but also a large removable mirror! All your skincare, hair, and makeup will be in one place and ready for your next destination." -Jamie Abarca, Senior Editorial Project Manager
Yamazaki Tosca Wire Basket
"I've been on a mission to make laundry day my favorite day of the week, and that started with replacing my drab laundry products with fab ones, like this basket from Yamazaki Home. I love this brand for their uniquely minimalist designs—all of their organization products are white, chic, and clean—and this laundry basket made me replace my bland plastic one immediately." -Mia Ingui, Editor
Franca Pillar Vase - Outline
"I've been obsessed with Franca for a long time. You truly can't go wrong with anything from the brand. Their ceramics are well-made, beautiful, and timeless yet full of character. The Outline vases are simple yet elegant and complement anything you put in it." -Jenny Hughes, Senior Editor

Home Therapy: Interior Design for Increasing Happiness, Boosting Confidence, and Creating Calm

Anita is a licensed therapist-turned-interior designer and uses that experience to teach us how home decor can be a tool for improving our quality of life. It's also simply beautiful to look at!" -Courtney Mason, General Manager
Cocod'or Flower Reed Diffuser

They have a variety of scents that vary from soft spring smells to warm winter scents. You also can also order them in a variety of sizes. They also have gift options for Mother's Day and other special events, making it a great gift!" -Sara Brown, Associate Social Media Editor
Birthdate The November Eleventh Candle

The minimalist design makes these candles fit in with any decor style plus they smell fabulous!" -Caroline Utz, Editorial & Strategy Director
The Sill Peperomia Obtusifolia
"I recently picked up this houseplant from The Sill, and it became my new favorite in a heartbeat. All of the plants I ever buy from The Sill come in excellent conditions and the cutest pots that really stand out on my shelves. Plus, the peperomia is easy to care for and completely adorable." -Mia Ingui, Editor
SIN Wyn Candelabra, White
"I love a good candelabra—they're such a quick and easy way to turn even a regular weeknight dinner into an occasion. This beautiful wavy candelabra by designer Virginia Sin is the perfect combination of modern, unique, and minimalist. Just pair it with your favorite taper candles in any color for an instant statement!" -Kate McKenna, Senior Editor
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing
"Marie Kondo is an organizing powerhouse. This book got me through a time when my bedroom needed major decluttering. The Konmari Method of tidying up little by little was a great help when I felt overwhelmed by the amount of clutter I had in such a small space—especially my closet. Even after reading it, this book is an adorable little coffee table book. I keep it on display on my desk and browse through it every now and then when I need a refresher." -Aliyah Rodriguez, Associate Editor
