11 Must-Haves from One of Our Editors

Hi, I'm Gen!

I'm an Associate Market Editor at BuzzFeed and I've been working here for a year and a half! As a shopper and writer, I love to help readers find cool products that are useful, fun, and bring a little joy to their lives. I currently live in upstate New York (I'm a short drive away from beautiful mountains, including the Adirondacks!) and I can talk for hours about breweries, fitness, home decor, and indie music.

When I'm not online shopping, you can find me working out, attempting to draw things, and playing guitar. If you would like recommendations for cute activewear, chill playlists, or outdoor spots, you can follow me on Instagram @jesuisgenn! Hope you enjoy my picks!

WHAT I'M LOVING NOW

Mermaid Body Scrub — $2.67+

If you've ever dreamed of a body scrub that'll turn your shower into a spa-like environment, this is it! I look forward to applying this on my arms and legs after a long day. It smells amazing (the scent reminds me of a blueberry snow cone!) and it gently exfoliates my skin without causing irritation. This scrub contains essential oils too, making it a great skincare treat for self-care time.

Celestial Cancer Throw Pillow — $32

It's July (and my birthday month!), so I decided to take the plunge and buy this pretty Celestial Cancer Throw Pillow from Valfré. I initially heard about this cool small business from my coworkers and when I checked them out, I immediately fell in love with their Zodiac products, including tiny pins and throw blankets. This comfy gem has a permanent spot on my couch and I use it while I watch TV or movies.

Tiny Spike Huggie Earrings — $46

When it comes to jewelry, I love finding pieces that are unique *and* comfortable to wear. I recently bought these tiny spike huggies from AMYO and they've replaced my other earrings. Putting them on is so easy and they don't get caught on my hair. Thanks to their versatile design, I can wear them with any type of outfit (as shown with my loungewear look above)!

Relaxation Reed Diffuser — $20

I've been giving my desk a much-needed makeover while working from home. With a printer, lamp, and lots of books, I don't have too much space to work with and decorating is a little challenging. However, I found this soothing reed diffuser and it's been so helpful during WFH hours. While I'm typing on my laptop, I'm surrounded by scents of patchouli, peppermint, and vanilla that literally make me feel like I'm at a spa, when IRL, I'm actually working at my desk. If you want to make your home office a little more chill, I definitely recommend this reed diffuser.
