Tries, Buys, and DIYs: 6 Things Apartment Therapy Editors Are Loving This Week

“I just moved into an apartment without a tub, so this cute stool is a shower necessity for shaving days or whenever you want to take a seat and let the steam do its thing.” —Tara Bellucci, News and Culture Director

“I’ve never really been a fan of sleep masks until I received this silk one from Drowsy. I’m impressed with how soft and stylish it is! I love that I cannot see a thing with it on and how it fits securely around my head with the adjustable strap.” —Stephanie Nguyen, Cleaning & Organizing Editor

“I’ve previously sung the praises of Monos’ duffel bag, but with summer trips in full swing, it bears repeating loud and clear: This is the greatest thing to ever happen to me, travel-wise. I’ve never gotten so many compliments on a piece of luggage before (random people have stopped me in airports) and, best of all, it’s SO spacious and organized — yet surprisingly compact overall. It’s like Mary Poppins’ bottomless bag, but in fits-under-a-plane-seat size.” —Blair Donovan, Shopping Editor

“I went to an event last week where I learned about lots of sustainable home products, and one of my faves was this Nopalera bar soap made from plants, including the nopal cactus. The soap smells amazing — I love washing my hands with it — and the shape of it is so cute that it looks good just sitting by my sink!” —Sarah Everett, Staff Writer

“I’m not really one to splurge on my bedding, but I’ve officially met the sheets that I’d empty my linen closet for no matter the cost. Cozy Earth’s bamboo sheet set is an Oprah favorite — in fact, the brand has made her list of favorite things FIVE years in a row — and after trying them out for myself, it’s safe to say these sheets have become my favorite, too. I’ve slept in sheets made with 100-percent bamboo viscose before, but these felt nothing like them. Cozy Earth’s sheets are buttery soft, impressively cooling, and so smooth that they slip through your fingers like silk. Now is a fantastic time to get a set for yourself, because Cozy Earth is having a major July 4th Sale, where you can snag these sheets for 20 percent off (no code required).” —Britt Franklin, Best List Editor

“I’ve been a Caraway Home fan since its inception — it just may be the cutest ceramic-coated, nonstick cookware in the biz. Just this week, the brand partnered with Crate & Barrel on a new exclusive colorway, graphite, and I have to say, this hue complements the gold handles and hardware oh so well. Choose from the seven-piece set of pots and pans, a kettle, or, my personal favorite, the set of baking sheets.” —Danielle Blundell, Executive Home Director
