Valfré Titties Coin Wallet, $20

Boobs coin wallet! This empowers me and also reminds me to keep my change in one place. It also works as a lip balm holder in a pinch.

Forever 21 Glitter Eyelash Tee, $12.90

I’m really into eyelashes lately? Like, the graphic, not the eyelashes themselves (although, yes, now that you mention it, I do wish I had thicker lashes. Anyway, that’s for another time). This tee is simple and cute and I love it.

West Elm Hex Side Table, $200

This gorgeous geometric side table reminds me that the only kind of math I ever got an A in was Geometry class. I also just freakin’ love this table and just know it would look fab in my living room with a candle and some books resting on top of it.

“Nancy’s Chopped Salad,” available at Sweetgreen nationwide through May

Sweetgreen is one of my all-time favorite lunch spots, and I’m #blessed to live right around the corner from one in West Hollywood. I was lucky enough to try their new “Nancy’s Chopped Salad,” a collaboration with the iconic Chef Nancy Silverton (of Pizzeria Mozza, Osteria Mozza, and chi SPACCA fame), and let me just say: It’s the best damn salad I’ve had in a long time. Call me basic, but I get genuinely excited by an interesting salad. From the chickpeas to the provolone to the salami — every last bite is salad heaven. Get yourself to a Sweetgreen location now through May and give your work lunch a major upgrade.

Hot for Food Vegan Comfort Classics: 101 Recipes to Feed Your Face by Lauren Toyota, $13.37

I’m not vegan, and I do eat meat, but I rarely cook it at home. So I’m very, very excited to dive into this new vegan cookbook that is brimming with hearty meals that are vegan but also 100% comforting and satisfying. The hardest part is choosing which recipe to make first. Maybe The Best Vegan Ramen? Or Raspberry Funfetti Pop Tarts!

Thayers Witch Hazel Lavender Toner, $9.29

Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel has always been one of my all-time favorite drugstore beauty products. I’ve been singing its praises for years. But I’ve never tried the lavender kind, until the other day — and it did not disappoint! Such a relaxing, lavender scent, and it took the redness out of the zit in the middle of my forehead right away. I’m such a fan of the Thayers brand. It’s one of those classics that just WORKS, and it’s such a fabulous price.
