PURITO Centella Green Level SPF50+ Sun Cream<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($15)<\/strong>
\nI am incredibly vain, and for me, being incredibly vain means, as I near 40, obsessing about the state of my skin. And obsessing about the state of my skin means obsessing about my sunscreen. I have acne-prone, easily irritated skin and this soothing sunscreen is SPF 50+, affordable ($15!) and acts as a lovely moisturizer and primer for my makeup. I\u2019m always reapplying.<\/p>\n

Weleda Hand Cream<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($12)<\/strong>
\nWeleda makes some of the best moisturizers out there, in my opinion, and I love this hand cream \u2014 it goes on pretty thick and creamy, but ends up feeling lightweight and soft. I hate an extra-greasy hand cream, so I appreciate that this one doesn\u2019t leave me feeling like I\u2019ve just dipped my hands in a vat of Crisco.<\/p>\n

Herb Pharm Passionflower Extract<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($11)<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d been on anti-anxiety meds for several years and, for a variety of reasons, transitioned off them earlier this spring \u2014 at the same time I was developing an interest in homeopathic and natural solutions. This passionflower extract is great for those moments of anxiety or panic I still occasionally get. Do I look strange popping it out by an airplane gate and tipping my head back to take in the liquid via the glass dropper? Yes. Am I soothed afterwards? Also yes.<\/p>\n

Boar Bristle Hair Brush for Men & Women<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($16)<\/strong>
\nI have fine, easily ruffled hair and I am obsessed with brushing it constantly to make it look smooth so I can feel semi put-together, rather than I\u2019ve just rolled around on a subway grate. I use this brush like 6 times a day. I heard somewhere it was a dupe for that famous Mason-Pearson brush, which is something I will never be able to confirm, because not even I am crazy enough to spend over $200 on a hairbrush. But this one is fantastic.<\/p>\n

About the bag<\/strong>
\nThe bag is\u00a0Madewell\u2019s Transport Tote<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0($168)<\/strong>, which my little sister gave me for Christmas one year when she was working there. I can\u2019t say it\u2019s super functional \u2014 it literally has no pockets or compartments \u2014 but you can\u2019t beat it for the style. I get compliments on it all the time.<\/p>\n
