Herbal Essentials Towelettes

First to recommend

Description

I’m a big fan of biking pretty much anywhere, including to my office in the morning, and while there’s nothing like racing the N train across the Manhattan Bridge, there’s also nothing like the intense amount of sweaty I get dodging taxis all the way up Sixth Avenue. Lucky for my coworkers, I’ve discovered these little dandies, which I like to think of as portable showers. Made with essential oils, they’re naturally antiseptic and anti-bacterial, and the lavender-scented even acts as a bug repellent. Now if someone could just throw some cab repellent my way…

Hemp Organics Lip Tint

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The best thing about this lip tint—other than the fact that it’s made with certified organic ingredients and manages to be SPF 15—is that it works just as well on lips and cheeks. A minimalist/ make-up challenged girl’s dream.

Solio - Portable Solar Powered Charger

44 people recommended this item

Description

A portable solar-powered charger that collects the energy of the sun and transfers it to my many hand-held devices, this slick little object of beauty appeals to my inner hippie, my inner James Bond, AND my inner MoMA curator. And yes, for the record, that’s the only time those three have agreed on anything.

Jonano Fine Bamboo Slip Top

First to recommend

Description

One word: ecoKashmere. No, I’m not talking about sheep with good values (though I don’t doubt they exist), I’m talking about Jonano’s unbelievably soft and wearable clothing line, which pairs materials made from sustainably and organically harvested bamboo and cotton with damn good design. I wear this with jeans and heels for a good (and bike-friendly!) drinks-Downtown outfit.

Zico Pure Coconut Water, Variety Pack of Natural, Mango, and Passion Fruit with Orange Peel

3 people recommended this item

Description

Here’s a secret: I find drinking plain water tedious. I realize this destines me to be stranded in the middle of the ocean, clutching to the remains of some modern-day Titanic and ruing the times I carelessly tossed half-finished glasses to my cactus, but the truth is, I don’t do things I find tedious. Enter Zico Coconut Water a.k.a, Hydration Elixir of People Who Should Drink More Water But Just Can’t. Perhaps it’s my personal chemistry or East Indian Roots, but the minute this stuff passes my lips, I start to feel a little better about everything. Add to that the 100% natural ingredients, the ever-so-portable 11 oz. container, and the fact that a single serving contains more potassium than about 15 sports drinks, and you’ve got a winner. Even better, there’s a pretty beach on the box for mid-city meditation. Take that, H2O.

Earth From Above by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

First to recommend

Description

The best part of growing up in New Mexico: The land makes everything seem possible. Saturday mornings, my Dad and I would drive out to the middle of the mesa, start up his old single engine Cessna and spend the next three hours scaling the Sangre de Christos, and floating over the Rio Grande Gorge. We’d return home tiny, humbled, wildly alive. While I get a lot out of living in New York, the vistas that inspire me most are the ones carved by nature, so I turn regularly to this book by renowned arial photographer Yann-Arthus Bertrand. With about 200 images of the planet as viewed from above, it offers me a perspective I can’t afford to live without.
