ELIZABETH HARRISON, CEO

This product is Botox in a bottle! It’s my secret weapon, and has been a vital part of my self-care routine while practicing social distancing.

SUMMER ZIERNICKI, Account Executive

Two words – Target. Sweats. This pair in particular is not only comfy and affordable but also super cute so I can feel stylish even when stuck in the house. The sweatpants were so comfortable I may or may not have immediately ordered the matching sweatshirt upon arrival.

ANINA BOSE, Director

One of my skincare staples is Ole Henriksen’s Power Peel. This three-step “facial in a box” is my go-to when I need a thorough skincare boost. Especially during quarantine when we can’t get “professional” treatments (not that I ever really get professional facials, lol) – I love having a product like this to transform my skin and leave it glowing!

BIANCA MORRISON, Account Supervisor

H2-WHOA! Hyper-hydration is a health game changer, and I couldn’t make it through this quarantine without my favorite, new 80oz water bottle. It is the best thing I never knew I needed – I get glowing skin, better vibes and more water than the recommended 72oz per day with just one fill-up!

ALEX RODDY, Assistant Account Executive

My quarantine obsession is my Nintendo Switch – I’ve been playing Animal Crossing in my downtime and it is SO much fun. Essentially, you arrive to a desolate Island and you complete daily tasks and decorate the Island to your liking. You can catch butterflies, complete your fossil museum, go fishing (there are sharks), breed flowers, plant money trees, design your home etc. – all while keeping your residents happy!

MADISON CASSIDY, Intern

Who? Weekly is a hilarious bi-weekly round-up of celebrity gossip focusing on the “whos”, meaning influencers, reality stars, and other D-list celebs, compared to “thems” that everyone recognizes, such as Beyoncé, Oprah, and Brad Pitt. Hosts Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber combine their journalistic backgrounds to educate their listeners on “Everything you need to know about the celebrities you don't.”

HEIDI SMOLEVITZ, Account Supervisor

I grew up having bagels with my family every Sunday morning from Bagel Boss in Long Island. As a 20-something in Manhattan, Saturday’s quickly became bagel day and a time to recap Friday night with friends. While in quarantine, something I still always look forward to on the weekends is having a delicious bagel. The famous Bagel Boss actually just launched a ‘Bagel of the Month’ club, so I can feel right at home – even when I’m not physically there!

CAROLINE BATES, Assistant Account Executive

I absolutely loved Bill Cunningham’s memoir, Fashion Climbing! It’s pretty short and a very easy read, but is full of crazy and fun stories of his life and how he pushed his way into the fashion world, coming from an extremely catholic family in Boston. Even if you’re not into fashion, the book is an amazing look into what high society life was like in New York City in the 1940s and 50s and Cunningham has great stories about sneaking into parties and shows to experience all the glamour.

LUIS BRAGA, Account Director Lifestyle

Pressed Juicery Apple Cider Vinegar

I recently discovered the benefits of apple cider vinegar and how great it is in terms of your digestive health. Pressed Juicery teamed up with BRAGG (leading ACV brand) on a collab of juices incorporating ACV. They’re reasonably priced for pressed juices. It's my little quarantine treat in the morning for breakfast.

NIKKY DUDEK, Account Supervisor

The best way to cope with corona-panic and working out of my parents’ house has been ending a long day with a soothing face mask! This mask not only smells fantastic, but it has a cooling feel while on your skin and leaves you with a nice hydrated glow.

CHELSEA ENSEL, Senior Account Executive​

For zit pickers like me who now have their anxiety exacerbated by the quarantine, these nighttime acne patches are my best friend. Pop them on after a manic zit picking session and watch your blemish shrink to nothing by the next day!

HANNAH CLARY, Administrative Assistant

Now that we’ve been working from home for over a month and it’s not necessary to put on makeup for work anymore. I have become completely reliant on my supergoop superscreen daily moisturizer. I wear it everyday and never have to worry if I decide to take a last minute walk or end up outside since it’s SPF 40 and has built in protection!! Feels just like regular moisturizer… it’s not like sticky/oily sunscreen (which I personally hate).

ERIKA LAM, Vice President

I recently discovered all the delights of an Air Fryer! While it’s a bulky appliance, it’s very easy to use and the recipes are simple and come out delicious. I’ve made “fried” chicken, panko shrimp, sweet potato fries and pork katsu so far. I’m experimenting a couple times a week and have found some of my favorite recipes from my go-to blog, Skinny Taste.

JORGE SUAREZ, Media Relations Specialist

Aside from having to occasionally yell “ALEXA” across the room since it tends to have selective hearing – the Echo Dot has been my go-to gadget during quarantine as it not only plays all my favorite tunes (connected to Spotify) and tells me the weather in real-time, but most importantly the top of the device glows green to alert me when those “prob didn’t need it but prime made me do it” packages have arrived at my doorstep. 

LIZ SANTILLANES, Vice President

My go-to app for working from home is Spotify. I always used it to help focus and pass the time, but now in self-isolation, music has become one of my most important rituals to help center myself and calm my anxiety. I bounce around from playlist to playlist depending on my mood, and typically end the day with a Disney-themed dance party with my toddler.
