Hot Weather, Good Stuff: Products I'm obsessed with rn
How many of these do you know about?
Hi Geezers,
Thanks for the grace as I took a little break to fulfill a major dream! More on that here:
But back to shopping we go! I wanted to round up a quick list of things I’ve purchased in the last few months that are not only living up to the hype—but actually making my life better, more efficient, or just more fun. Some are brand new-to-me discoveries, brand new products in general, and some are restocks or things I forgot I loved about and am now obsessed with all over again.
All of them have something in common: I spent my $$$ to buy them, and I would do it again.
ILIA Multi-Stick: A creamy blush/lip/whatever stick that blends with zero effort and looks good even when I apply it on the subway or in the theater bathroom. My go-to for summer when I want to look alive but don’t have the capacity for a full face of makeup I’m just going to sweat off. My favorite shade is At Last.
SALE! Hotel Lobby Candle in “London”: This candle smells like you’ve just walked into the lobby of a beautiful boutique hotel in Notting Hill where it’s always golden hour and someone’s playing Sade on vinyl. Warm, woody, and grown-up in the best way, with notes of oud, amber, and a hint of smoke that makes it feel expensive (because it is). It burns clean, fills the room without overwhelming it, and the deep purple glass jar makes it feel like part of the decor. This is a candle you light when you want to feel mysterious, well-moisturized, and slightly out of office. Get 20% off during their site-wide sale — through July 6.
Tower 28 SOS Daily Facial Rescue Spray: This looks like water but works like magic. Made with hypochlorous acid, it calms redness, fights bacteria, and soothes stressed or inflamed skin without drying you out. I use it post-cleanse, after the sun, post-sweat, or whenever my face is feeling cranky. Fragrance-free, safe for sensitive skin, and truly one of those products you don’t realize you need until you stop using it.
Left on Friday Sunday Top: This is the flattering bikini top that somehow works for actual swimming and lounging like a hot person on a beach chair. It’s got thin, adjustable straps, a clean scoop neckline, and just the right amount of support without digging in or feeling skimpy. The fabric is that signature Left on Friday magic; soft, stretchy, and smoothing. It fits like a glove, looks sleek and simple, and holds up whether you're in the ocean or just trying to get a little color on your shoulders. Get $15 off when you give your email at checkout.
MERIT The Uniform SPF 45: A mineral sunscreen that feels like skincare. Lightweight, hydrating, no white cast, and zero grease. SPF 45 with a satin finish that plays well with makeup or wears beautifully on its own. No pilling, no smell, no excuses.
SALE! Lake & Skye 333 Sheer Fig & Salt Hair + Body Mist: This is summer! Clean, juicy fig and a hit of sea salt that smells like a breezy afternoon somewhere better than your office. I spray it in my hair, on my clothes, on my skin—basically everywhere—and it never overwhelms. Bonus: it’s alcohol-free, so it won’t dry you out. Use code GEETHANKS at checkout for a little something off.
Cuyana Mini System Tote: Quietly perfect. Structured but not stiff, minimal but not boring. It holds everything I need (wallet, Kindle, snacks, stray receipts), looks polished no matter what I’m wearing, and works as a crossbody or top-handle depending on the vibe. The leather is buttery, the shape holds up, and you can customize it with inserts and add-ons to make it work exactly how you want.
BaubleBar Olive Earrings: Tiny, playful, and just the right amount of absurd. These little green olive studs are lightweight, detailed, and weirdly elegant for what they are. They add a wink to any outfit without being loud, and somehow manage to feel both silly and stylish. A small joy with big personality.
SALE! MAYA No. 2 Perfume Oil: A clean, subtle, skin-but-better scent that somehow smells fresh, warm, and a little flirty—all at once. No. 2 is the kind of fragrance that blends with you instead of sitting on top of your skin. It’s non-toxic, alcohol-free, and comes in a tiny rollerball that’s perfect for tossing in a bag. If you like smelling good without smelling “perfumey,” this is the one. Pair it with Base! Use VIP20 off your entire order!
SALE! Hyer Goods LA Autostrada Tote: A perfect slouchy summer tote made from deadstock leather so it’s sustainable and gorgeous. It’s soft, unstructured, and somehow fits everything without feeling bulky. The long handles mean it actually stays on your shoulder (rare!) and the whole vibe is effortlessly cool. Great for work, errands, or pretending you live in Italy. On sale through July 6, so if you’ve been thinking about it… now’s the time.
