1. A super-comfy silicone ring that won't dig into your finger. This stackable number won't break or absorb smells, either, so you can comfortably rock it all day long.
2. This rose-infused konjac sponge that'll help get your face squeaky clean, without a drop of product. Thanks to its soft fibres, it won't irritate sensitive or reactive skin.
It's effective for about 100 uses (or 2-3 months, depending on how often you reach for it).
Get it from Simons for $10.
3. This Buddha's Blend tea from DAVIDsTEA that's the optimal combination of floral jasmine petals with just a hint of peachy freshness. In addition to being full of antioxidants, this white and green tea blend will deliver a nice dose of caffeine (without giving you the jimmy legs).
It's equally as good iced as it is hot, which means I can enjoy this tea year-round. Plus, it doesn't turn bitter if I leave it steeping for too long. I love drinking it mid-afternoon, during that weird time when it's too late to drink coffee but too early to go to bed, and it picks me right up! Make sure you also grab some biodegradable tea filters, too, if you're not a fan of loose leaves.
