Select Staff’s Best Products in March: From Wellness to Home and Kitchen
As shopping experts, the Select staff is constantly on the lookout for great products to try, recommend, and share with our readers. Each month, we round up a handful of items we bought ourselves, were gifted, or received from brands that we think readers should know about. Below are the best products we tried in March, spanning from wellness items to home and kitchen essentials.
Wellness and Style
L.L. Bean Boat and Tote: Our editor, Lindsay Schneider, fell in love with this classic bag and recommends it for everyone. Its structured bottom, heavyweight canvas material, and reinforced handles make it the perfect bag to hold all daily belongings, including heavier items like a laptop and a full 40-ounce water bottle. With all its fun customization features, it has become one of her go-to gifts.
Kanu Surf Keri Long-Sleeve UPF 50+ Rash Guard: This rash guard is a great investment for surfing or outdoor activities. Our editor, Christina Colizza, loves that it’s simple, but with a fun pattern that matches any black swim bottom. It’s also quick-drying, which makes it easier to put on between surf sessions.
Stubble & Stache Facial + Beard Moisturizer: Our reporter, Harry Rabinowitz, has been incorporating moisturizers into his skin care routine and recommends this face and beard moisturizer from Stubble & Stache to combat dry, flaky skin underneath his beard. Using it for a few weeks has made his face less itchy and his skin less irritated.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Face Moisturizer: For those with sensitive skin, our updates editor, Mili Godio, recommends La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Face Moisturizer. She tried it as a nighttime moisturizer and noticed it left her sensitive skin feeling hydrated and soft through the night. The texture of this moisturizer feels very lightweight compared to other thicker creams and lotions, so it doesn’t feel greasy or sticky.
Theragun Prime: The Theragun Prime is the best massage gun our reporter, Harry Rabinowitz, has used. Thanks to its triangle-shaped handle, it enables a ton of different hand grips, making it easier to massage hard-to-reach spots. It comes with four attachments, and he generally sticks to the wider ones. Despite using it for a few weeks, he hasn’t had to charge it yet.
Gear and Gadgets
Frisco Zoomies & Chill Remote: This toy remote is perfect for those with pets who love to play with and sit on top of TV remotes. Our updates editor, Mili Godio, loves the look of it (it genuinely looks like a real TV remote), and the squeak sound is unmatched. It’s also made of durable latex, so pets can constantly chew on it without ripping it open.
Smart Tiles Blok Chevron White: Our associate updates editor, Zoe Malin, transformed her kitchen by adding peel-and-stick backsplash using Smart Tiles. Installing the backsplash is easy after watching YouTube tutorials, and the transformation is remarkable. Everyone who sees it asks if it’s real tile.
BrilliantPad Smart: For pet owners, the BrilliantPad Smart is a time saver. Our social media editor, Sadhana Daruvuri, loves that using it is mess-free and clean up only takes a few seconds. The roll also traps all odors and keeps mess out of sight.
Home and Kitchen
SONGMICS Handwoven Laundry Hamper: This laundry hamper has a lid, making it the perfect solution for those with pets who love to go through their laundry bin. Our manager of editorial operations, Shari Uyehara, loves how clean the design is and that it comes in several colors.
Brooklinen Essential Laundry Detergent: Not only does Brooklinen’s laundry detergent leave clothes clean and smelling great, but the best part is that it comes in a bottle with a pump, making it mess-free. Our associate updates editor, Zoe Malin, also recommends the fabric spray and stain remover.
Uppetly Large Airtight Food Storage Container Bin: These storage bins are easy to use, clean, and fit right under the kitchen counter. Our manager of editorial operations, Shari Uyehara, uses them to hold rice and her pup’s dry dog food.
Yaenoei Kitchen Shelves: For those with small bathrooms, these shelves help with organizing skin care, hair care, and other general bathroom products. Our updates editor, Mili Godio, loves that they allow her to stack all of her products, which encourages her to use vertical space.
ECOHomes Bed Sheet Organizer Bands: For those who struggle with keeping bed sheets together, these organizer bands solve the problem. Our updates editor, Mili Godio, likes that she’s never guessing which pillowcases go with which top and fitted sheet set.
