Adelaide Giesey — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 15:41:02 -0700

I have a rule that whenever I pass an Anthropologie I have to at least walk through to see if anything catches my eye.

As a true Taurus, I am a strong believer in showering yourself with little gifts as often as possible. It's not supposed to be something that breaks the bank, but rather an item that elevates my ever-evolving collection. So, in the spirit of spontaneous shopping sprees, I curated the best items at Anthropologie under $50. From a buttery-soft long sleeve to an adorable bag charm, there's a treat on this list for everyone.

10 Transitional Style Finds I'm Using to Perfect My West Coast Look

Lena Felton — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 08:25:03 -0700

As the East Coast fully embraces PSL season, September is actually just the beginning of summer in San Francisco - it's when the fog finally burns off, the sun is strong, and temperatures reach into the 80s. I love this sense of changing seasons, when the air takes on a different quality and your changing environment ushers in the sense of possibility.

With summer slipping sweetly into warm September, I decided to upgrade some of my fashion and beauty arsenal. I'll hold onto warm-weather finds for as long as I possibly can for the next couple of months, but thankfully there are a lot of transitional pieces that I know will work well into fall and beyond. From a light jacket that can go with anything to the bag that I've been using nearly every day, these are the stalwarts in my closet right now.

To shop the picks that I'm wearing and using on repeat for the next few months, keep reading below.

Ilona Maher’s Must Haves Include Dark Chocolate and $9 Sunscreen

Chandler Plante — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 06:00:03 -0700

Ilona Maher believes wellness should be simple. In a world that so often conflates health with thinness, the Olympic medalist and professional rugby player advocates for women of all sizes to prioritize their strength - both physical and mental. That means lifting heavy weights, challenging your body, and not being afraid to put in the hard work. But in Maher's case, it's also making history at the 2024 Olympics, lifting her own damn partner on "Dancing With the Stars," and gracing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway with complete confidence.

In true Olympian fashion, Maher tells us about her approach to fitness while rowing 80-pound dumbbells. "You can do more than you think you can," she explains mid-workout. "You can lift more than you think you can. You're so much more capable than you realize." Online, Maher stands by this sentiment, resisting antiquated body standards and problematic messaging.

"I have cellulite everywhere," she says in a 2023 TikTok. "It is completely normal, completely natural, it does not take away from your athletic ability or how fast or how fit you are. It's just something that's part of your body." In the comments section, women thank her for sharing with one person writing, "The little girl in me thanks you for using your platform to share this."

As the newest professional athlete partner at Burn Boot Camp, Maher is working to help even more women build confidence, embrace their strength, and feel empowered through strength training. Ahead, Maher shares some of her personal wellness must haves for staying strong and performing at the top of her game. Unsurprisingly, her picks are as no-nonsense as it gets.

How to Dress for Harry Styles’s “Together, Together” Disco-Inspired Tour

Haley Lyndes — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 11:48:02 -0700

Harry Styles is back, and yes, he looks as effortlessly good as ever. After a four-year hiatus, we finally got a musical update on what he's been up to (besides, you know, running marathons). His latest album, "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally," dives into his growth over the years, self-acceptance, and surviving life in the relentless spotlight. "Aperture," his first single, is basically a warm hug about community, while "American Girls" is a bittersweet bop that's upbeat enough to make you dance, but also a little heart‑tugging, as Styles ponders love, family, and watching his friends grow up without him.

Musically, the album screams disco - but in a good way - while sprinkling in electronica and dreamy atmospheric pop, like being gently catapulted through time. It's not nonstop party, but fans still can't help but want to dance in their living rooms like no one's watching. Just like his historic "Love On Tour," this album has inspired yet another series of concerts full of epic music, community, and yes . . . killer style. The "Together, Together" tour kicked off in May and Harry has officially started his 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden. Even if you aren't in New York, the energy is palpable.

Wondering what to wear? Let us help you channel your inner disco.

29 Unique Gifts for Women in Their 30s, Starting at $12

Marisa Petrarca — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 09:25:03 -0700

Whether you're shopping for your best friend, partner, coworker, or sibling, finding the perfect gift for someone in their 30s can be surprisingly tricky. To make things easier, the Popsugar Shopping team assigned me, a 30-year-old who literally shops for a living, to round up gifts you genuinely can't go wrong with, even if you closed your eyes and clicked a random pick from this very list.

I covered every angle by pulling from the things my friends and I swear by, the recs taken from my TikTok FYP, and a few late-night Reddit dives to see what 30-something women are asking for. Cozy picks like blankets and fancy candles were popular. Gift cards for treatments and clothing rental subscriptions came up a lot, too. But most people wanted practical consumables such as olive oil, wine, and other small luxuries that make everyday life feel more elevated. All of that (and more) made it into this roundup.

Ahead, shop the best gifts for 30-year-old women, curated by an actual 30-something who spent more time than she'd like to admit perfecting this list.

Keke Palmer's Must Haves, From a Fabletics Set to a $26 Moisturizer

Jessica Andrews — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 13:00:01 -0700

Keke Palmer is having a generational year. The actress, who audiences first fell in love with in 2006's "Akeelah and the Bee," is now a perennial fan favorite in Hollywood, with a popular podcast ("Baby, This Is Keke Palmer"), a prolific movie career (most recently, "I Love Boosters"), and a newly-announced hosting gig at the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards. This year also marks a major milestone for the luminary as she'll receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

With a career spanning two decades and still thriving, Palmer's found the key to achieving longevity in the ever-shifting Hollywood landscape. "[It] comes from being willing to evolve," she tells Popsugar. "I started so young, and every season of my career has required me to meet myself again and ask, 'OK, who am I now? What do I want to say now?' I've never felt the need to be confined by what people already knew me for." She cites a deep love and passion for the arts as her constant motivation: "I love performing, I love creating, I love connecting with people, and I'm still curious."

Life moves fast and I've learned I can't be everything to everybody at the same time. [...] You can't pour into every cup at once, so I try to just be present.

Palmer's love for entertaining is evident in everything she does, but that doesn't make the workload easy to bear. An Emmy Award-winning actress, singer, entrepreneur, podcast host, and mother to 3-year-old Leodis Jackson, she's learned to be intentional about finding balance. "It's about being where you're at in the current moment," she says. "Life moves fast, and I've learned I can't be everything to everybody at the same time. So, when I'm with my son, I'm with my son. When I'm working, I'm locked in on the work. You can't pour into every cup at once, so I try to just be present."

It also helps to have an outlet, and Palmer's found one in the low-impact exercise method of Pilates. "It's really become my reset," she says, fresh off leading a class at Essence Festival. "It helped me slow down, reconnect with my body, and make time for myself. By the time I leave class, I feel like I can show up as a better version of myself for whatever comes next."

Her love for exercise is a natural fit for her collaboration with Fabletics. Palmer just launched her second collection with the brand, and it features everything from matching activewear sets to a chic, cropped trench coat. "Every piece was inspired by the different versions of me that show up: everyday mom, entrepreneur, actor, singer, and just Keke," she shares. "Some days I'm running from meetings to mom life, some days I'm headed to the gym, and some days I need an outfit that can do all of the above without making me think too hard and still look cute."

The collab is the latest in a long list of projects Palmer's working on through the rest of the year. For one, fans can expect to see more from her wildly popular podcast. "I love conversation, and the podcast gives me an opportunity to be curious in a completely different way," she says. "My favorite part is when somebody feels comfortable enough to get past the talking points and you get into a real conversation about who they are, how they think, or what they've experienced." Past guests read like a who's who of entertainment and politics: Oprah, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, Tracee Ellis Ross, Whoopi Goldberg, Usher, Taraji P. Henson, Ciara. Palmer's dream guest? "I would love to sit down with Rihanna or Beyoncé," she says excitedly. "I'd have about a million questions!"

She's also gearing up for the aforementioned CFDA Awards. It's too early to tell which designer she may partner with on a red-carpet look, but she does have a beautiful, long-standing relationship with Sergio Hudson. "Sergio understands glamour," she says. "He knows how to make a woman feel powerful, sexy, and sophisticated without losing the personality of the person wearing the clothes." Palmer is widely regarded as Hudson's most beloved muse: he served as her creative director for the 2023 Met Gala and 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party, among many other events, and they posed together on the cover of Essence Magazine's September 2023 issue. "What I love about working with him is that it really feels collaborative," Palmer says. "We have an amazing trust between us, and he understands when I want to have a fashion moment. Sergio's work celebrates the body and celebrates confidence. When I put on one of his creations, I know I'm going to feel like a woman, honey! There's something timeless about what he does while still making it feel fresh."

Though we all enjoy Palmer as a podcast host and red-carpet fixture, movies are her first love - and where we were first introduced to her extraordinary talent. As we talked about what's next for her career in film, I shared that Tahj Mowry specifically named her in our Popsugar Aughts Effect cover interview, revealing he'd love to star opposite Palmer in a rom-com. Her response? "Oh, I would absolutely do a rom-com with Tahj!" she says. "I love that he said that. We've both been doing this for such a long time, so I think it would be really fun to come together at this point in our careers and do something people might not expect. And I love a good romantic comedy. I think we're in a moment where people want to laugh, fall in love with characters, and just have a good time watching a movie again. Tahj, let's make it happen!"

As we await their appearance on the big screen, keep scrolling to shop Palmer's must-have products for her morning routine, Pilates workouts, and everything in between.

An Editor's Backstreet Boys Concert Checklist, From Bandanas to Body Glitter

Haley Lyndes — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 10:20:04 -0700

Whether you happen to be traveling to Las Vegas while the Backstreet Boys are performing or are headed there deliberately to catch the Into the Millennium tour live at The Sphere, I highly recommend it. The residency features all the boy band's greatest hits: "Larger Than Life," "I Want It That Way," "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," plus a bonus new song you can only hear in-show (for now). Yes, the Backstreet Boys are back - but The Sphere isn't exactly a short drive for most people. It takes planning and effort, all the stuff you typically don't want to do. That's why I put together this guide: so you can focus on feeling confident and letting loose, and less on logistics.

How Long Is the Backstreet Boys Residency at The Sphere?

The Backstreet Boys' residency at The Sphere runs through August 29 - but don't worry! The show was such a hit that they've added new dates: December 31 and January 1-2, 2027. So, there's still time to get in on the action. Tickets will go on sale on Ticketmaster on August 21.

Where Should I Stay to See the Backstreet Boys at The Sphere?

Image Source: PS Photography | Haley Lyndes

I stayed at The Venetian Resort on the Las Vegas Strip, which features gorgeous suite-only accommodations, a casino, entertainment (I opted for a magic show), more than 40 restaurants, shopping, spas, a rooftop pool, and even gondola rides "under the stars." Yes, you're basically transported to Venice inside the resort. All of this to say, the experience was pretty magical (no pun intended).

However, the most important thing to note is that The Venetian Resort is connected to The Sphere - yes, you read that correctly. All you have to do is walk through a connected pedestrian bridge, and you're there. It was no-sweat and definitely convenient. The Venetian also hosts The Backstreet Boys Terminal, which is the official gift shop for fans, as well as the official after-party at Voltaire (a club inside the resort), where fans can meet the band.

If you're thinking about staying here, it's important to note: as of January, World of Hyatt Credit Cardmembers (as well as regular members) can earn and redeem points at The Venetian. Not a credit cardmember? There's a ton of benefits. If you sign up now, you can earn two free nights plus 25,000 points. If you travel often, I highly recommend it - especially if you plan to see the Backstreet Boys this December.

What Is the Backstreet Boys Dress Code at The Sphere?

Image Source: PS Photography | Haley Lyndes

The band's specific request is that fans wear all white with a touch of blue as a nod to the Into the Millennium tour. This has resulted in lots of white-on-white outfits, butterfly clips, chokers, and blue eyeshadow - and yes, we have some suggestions for you.

Tenniscore Is Trending Again - 19 Ways to Shop the Aesthetic Starting at $9

Kyley Warren — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 06:00:03 -0700

Tennis fashion certainly isn't new to mainstream style, but this season athletes and celebrities alike are helping to breathe new life into the trend. Tenniscore first made waves throughout the viral "Challengers" press tour that took place in 2024 when Zendaya paid homage to her superstar character through a range of tennis styles. Now the sport's biggest stars and fashion influencers alike have fully embraced the aesthetic as a permanent style.
As we patiently wait for the 2026 US Open, social media has been abuzz over all of the cute tenniscore moments we anticipate seeing in the stands and on the court, across beauty, lifestyle, and more.

The tennis trend is all about pulling inspiration from on-the-court icons like Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff, Taylor Townsend, or Venus Williams. You then take that inspo and blend it with everyday styles that are designed to be worn anywhere - think pleated tennis skirts, hats, and polo shirts. And if you're inspired to pick up one of Osaka's Labubus and work it into your wardrobe, that counts as tenniscore, too.

How to Shop the Tenniscore Trend

While Zendaya's infamous Loewe tennis ball pumps may not be within your shopping means (cue the collective sigh), dozens of major brands are embracing the tenniscore trend with their own affordable collections that are designed to help you earn major style points - in your home, wardrobe, and even on the court.

Nike tennis skirts continue to be a tried-and-true favorite according to TikTok. Tenniscore beauty is an enduring trend with nail polish the color of tennis balls and hydrating foundation designed to give you a natural, dewy glow. You'll find sporty prints and tennis-themed coffee table books from home retailers like Serena & Lily or West Elm. And if you're hoping to take your athletic talents to the tennis court, you can shop out bestselling tennis gear online - including tennis rackets and workout shoes - from affordable brands like Amazon and Nordstrom.

Ahead, we curated a guide for how to shop the tennis trend with products that'll help you ace the preppy aesthetic regardless of your interests or budget.

Shop All the Y2K-Inspired Looks From Our Aughts Effect Cover Shoot

Jessica Andrews — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 05:45:04 -0700

This story is part of our Aughts Effect package, which celebrates 20 years of Popsugar - and enduring culture. Read all the stories here.

It's not hard to imagine what you'd wear if you came of age in 2006. Twenty years ago, right around the time Popsugar was founded, the fashion trends du jour looked a lot like they do today: capri pants, saddle bags, velour sweatsuits, going-out tops, baby tees, bucket hats, and shiny jackets. That we're revisiting Y2K fashion in 2026 says a lot about our love for nostalgia but also, perhaps, our desire for a simpler time: an era when we could indulge in whimsy, occasion dressing, and comfortmaxxing without a care. For our Popsugar Aughts Effect covers, photographed by Anna Koblish, we ventured back to the dawn of the new millennium, sartorially at least.

Stylist Ali Claire Marino dressed our cover stars - Monique Coleman, Tahj Mowry, Daníella Monet, and Sabrina Bryan - in the most joyful and enduring trends 2006 had to offer. From a Dior baby T-shirt with a heart graphic to velour sweats adorned with the sparkling Juicy Couture logo, Marino explored early-aughts fashion with a reverence for the past and an eye toward the future. Take Coleman and Monet's capri pants: the abbreviated style was a staple in 2006 and it's experiencing a resurgence today (in recent months, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, and Beyoncé all stepped out in modernized versions of the look).

Suffice it to say, each cover outfit, though inspired by the early 2000s, could find a happy home in your closet right now. Keep scrolling to shop the looks from brands like Revolve, Urban Outfitters, eBay, and more - plus nab each style for less with affordable alternatives.

The Joy of Reclaiming My 2000s Style

Jessica Andrews — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 05:45:03 -0700

This story is part of our Aughts Effect package, which celebrates 20 years of Popsugar - and enduring culture. Read all the stories here.

The bumping bass in Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous." A whiff of Victoria's Secret Love Spell. Each gleaming swipe of Lancome juicy tube on your lips. Low-rise skirts that hang off your hips just so. It all instantly transports you back to the dawn of the millennium, that era of club nights, glitter eyeshadow, going-out tops, and velour tracksuits.

Just like photographs on our elusive Myspace pages, those sounds and smells and textures store our memories, sending fleeting moments rushing back to the forefront of our minds.

I felt that wave of nostalgia when I shopped for my 2000s-themed outfit for Popsugar's 20th birthday party - and found myself face-to-face with 2006 me. Back as I was navigating the fashion landscape of the early aughts, I was also rediscovering who I was as a young woman trying to find my place in the world.

Sorting through rows of sparkly going-out dresses, I remember a girl who was newly introduced to the thrill of the Manhattan social scene. There were so many magical experiences at my fingertips, from clubbing until the wee hours at BLVD to watching Mary J. Blige perform at Summer Jam. I instantly became enthralled with the art of occasion dressing, and it would later come to define my style and life in New York City.

Image Source: Caz

Scrolling through a long list of mall brands that embodied the early aughts, I recall someone who, at times, felt like an outsider. I wasn't preppy, rich, or white enough for Aeropostale or Abercrombie & Fitch - or edgy and cool enough for Ed Hardy or Von Dutch.

Eventually, I found a home in Baby Phat.

With Kimora Lee Simmons's brand, I experienced, for the first time, a label that felt aligned with who I am: bold, feminine, and a tiny bit rebellious. More importantly, it meant everything to me to see women who looked like me modeling those designs - and I still get that feeling seeing Olandria wear the brand today.

Looking at shelves lined with colorful Louis Vuitton x Murakami bags, I relive the moment I first experienced their dopamine rush of rainbow color. I taped the iconic fashion ads featuring Naomi Campbell and JLo to my bedroom wall.

It was then that I discovered the art of the It bag: how a fashion item can elicit joy and an accessory can become a conversation piece, drawing like-minded people together with a compliment or a knowing glance as we pass each other on the street.

In a fitting room full of low-rise jeans - which once showed off my newfound curves and belly-button ring - I remember a girl who struggled with body image. After years of being chided for looking "too skinny," I had finally developed the curves that everyone in my community praised. But I hadn't yet learned to love my body regardless of whatever state it's in, simply because it's mine.

As the years passed, I'd become too curvy for those same folks, a harsh reality that forced me to accept my body in every iteration rather than expanding or shrinking myself to fit social standards. Today, my abs aren't as defined as in the early 2000s, but I am healthy and strong, and I have found peace with who I am and how I look.

Walking past piles of velour tracksuits, I recall a girl who spent my whole paycheck on a pink Juicy Couture set and Uggs only to have to reconcile being on trend with not feeling like myself. From that look, I took away the lesson that not every aesthetic is for me; I can love some from afar, and that's OK.

In between the cool minimalism of the '90s and the athleisure revival of the 2010s, early-aughts trends felt particularly exclusionary. The look demanded that you embody a certain size, bank account, personality, and pedigree to participate.

I often felt like I didn't belong, but I'm grateful for that; it forced me to make peace with not fitting in, with going against the grain, with owning my differences.

Now, as I revisit those same trends, I can ignore the cacophony of outside influences and hear my inner voice in all its quiet assuredness.

I can experience the freedom of honoring my instincts, my opinion, my taste in every sartorial decision.

I can show up as myself.

Someone who won't shy away from a visible belly line in a baby tee. Someone who will wear Uggs for comfort but prefers to dress them up with tights and a miniskirt. Someone who still slips into a going-out dress for a magical night out in NYC, with a colorful LV x Murakami bag or Fendi baguette bag tucked effortlessly under my arm.

There's something so empowering about embracing styles from 2006 as the woman I am now, who is less interested in blindly following trends and fitting a mold.

Twenty years later, I feel at home in my low-rise skirts and my own skin.

15 Editor-Loved Ways to Beat a Heat Wave, From Ice Cream Makers to Portable Fans

Balim Tezel — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:20:02 -0700

I don't want to be dramatic, but this heat? It's really really testing me - and everyone I know. After what felt like endless gray days and unpredictable weather, it seems we've skipped warm summer temperatures and gone straight into a full-blown heat wave. The air feels thick, the streets are sizzling, and whatever cooling systems are supposed to be working . . . aren't doing nearly enough.

If you're lucky enough to be cooling off at the beach or hiding out somewhere with central air, congrats. But for the rest of us walking to work, commuting on stuffy public transit, or simply trying not to melt on the sidewalk, I see you. I am you.

Kristin Cavallari's Must Haves, From a $15 Protein Drink to Viral Skin-Care Staples

Adelaide Giesey — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:40:02 -0700

We've had the pleasure of watching Kristin Cavallari go through many seasons of her life. She first made an impression on our screens with her charismatic personality and iconic one-liners. Since her time on "Laguna Beach" and its successor, "The Hills," Cavallari has written multiple cookbooks, founded her editor-loved jewelry line Uncommon James, and even discovered a new sparkling protein drink called Fizzen. Talk about a résumé!

But no matter what reality TV show gets picked up or what new business venture she takes on, her kids have remained her biggest priority. "I really try to build my schedule around theirs as much as possible," Cavallari tells Popsugar. "Of course, it's not always perfect, but I've worked hard to create a career where I can find a balance. It has become really important to me, and I don't take it for granted." Of course, this just makes it even more special when her kids are able to have a hand in her latest projects. "We just launched men's jewelry at Uncommon James and it was a fun opportunity to bring my boys into the process and get their input, which made it feel really personal," she shares.

In the chaos of juggling it all, Cavallari reveals that the one thing she has kept constant is her approach to wellness and fitness. "My workout routine has stayed pretty consistent over the years and I think that's been the biggest key to seeing results. Consistency always beats perfection." At the core of her tried-and-true routine is lifting heavy weights three times a week, using the StairMaster once a week, and only eating whole foods. So it comes at no surprise that the products she reaches for the most share a similar ethos - they're simple yet effective.

Ahead, the mother, multifaceted entrepreneur, and reality TV star gives us the five products, devices, and snacks that have become her nonnegotiables. From the skin-care duo she reaches for daily to the sweet treat that's always stocked in her fridge, here are Cavallari's must haves.

Naomi Osaka’s Must Haves, From Her Favorite Tennis Racket to Coconut Water

Adelaide Giesey — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 13:40:02 -0700

13 years into her public career, it still feels like Naomi Osaka is just getting started. The tennis superstar has crafted quite the résumé for herself, with four Grand Slam singles titles, two US Open titles, and a ranking as one of the best tennis players in the world (casual). As if that wasn't enough, she recently made headlines for making it to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon (her best result at the tournament) and we can't wait to cheer her on at the 2026 US Open, where she'll get the chance to compete for another title. But perhaps even more impressive than her athletic dominance on the court is what she's managed to achieve outside of the sport.

Osaka has been a vocal advocate on topics surrounding mental health - even famously withdrawing from the 2021 French Open in order to prioritize her own mental well-being. So it feels natural for the tennis star to seek out partnerships that amplify the same message. "At this stage in my career, I'm intentional. I only take on work that I truly believe in and fully stand behind," she tells Popsugar. Her latest campaign with Olly called "Do What Serves You" does just that. "It's about empowering women to prioritize their mental and physical well-being without guilt, which is something that means so much to me."

Even outside of her collaborations, Osaka seems to always find new avenues to express herself and her strength. Whether it's wearing custom high-fashion looks on the court or keeping up with her daughter on off days, her objectives remain the same: grow, gain new perspectives, and try to be present.

We chatted with Naomi about the ins and outs of her routine, how she stays connected to her family while on the road, and all of the must-have products that keep her winning both on and off the court - from pure coconut water to sleep supplements and more.

PS Editors Share Their Shameless Go-To Products For Getting Through Summer

Kyley Warren — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:00:03 -0700

The internet is a wonderful place to confess things - deeply personal fears, weird fetishes, secrets that you wouldn't share with even your closest confidant. It's a space that you can contribute to with zero ramifications or the fear of being judged. I say all of this sarcastically, of course. The truth is that if there's anything scarier than being radically honest in real life, it's being radically honest online, where things are immortalized forever. (For more on that, check out Popsugar's Radical Honesty Issue.)

On the flip side, the internet does provide an outlet for purchasing all of those secret products that we may hate to love but actually use on the regular. Online shopping can remove the usual awkwardness that comes with purchasing niche products that - albeit weird or embarrassing - can truly make a big difference in our day-to-day lives. Tongue-scrapers, dermaplaning kits, cooling bra inserts, you name it - all of these quirky items can be bought through retailers like Amazon without any strange looks from disapproving cashiers.

In the spirit of honesty, we asked our editors to get really real and divulge perhaps their most taboo secret: aka the products they're not embarrassed to say that they use. These unique items are wide-ranging and designed to remedy a number of issues - from boob sweat and tummy aches to foot calluses and feelings of anxiety. Ahead, our editors speak honestly about the products they shamelessly love and why these picks are worth their weight in gold. Because we're not ashamed to talk about it.
