The best recommendations come from the people we see every day, whether that’s in person or those we watch and follow through our screens. When they’re on-camera, they’re often featuring items that have been curated for their shows, but sometimes the products they love most are the simple ones they use off-air, or that they would gift to their family and friends.

In this article: JW PEI Women’s Hana Medium Tote, Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream and Ring Battery Doorbell
Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler
This one device can help you achieve all the hair looks you want with its conical Airwrap barrel, high-pressure motor, and Coanda effect to create a smooth, straight hair style or bouncy, retro curls. It is a dryer, straightener and curler in one. Jessica loves this because it “truly gives the professional from-the-salon blowout look.”
Caraway 14-Piece Kitchen Prep Set
This complete kitchen knife and utensil set has you covered as you prep and cook, and is attractive enough to leave on your counter. The knives feature German stainless steel blades, and the block is made of certified birchwood. The set comes with four knives, kitchen shears and five high-quality wooden utensils. “This is so sleek on the counter, and every tool you need while cooking is within easy reach,” Jessica said. “The knives make chopping and food prep super easy.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker
For the home coffee maker who likes to switch between coffee and espresso, this Nespresso machine can do it all. Choose how you want your coffee brewed from bold to mild, hot or iced. “I love a latte, so I buy the espresso pods,” Jessica said. “This is always a delicious pick-me-up any time of the day.”
CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask: Series 2
This red light therapy mask will help enhance collagen production and reduce fine lines, wrinkles and redness. It features a revamped liquid silicone shape for maximum comfort and coverage. “They said red light helps with anti-aging, so give me all the red light,” Jessica said. "It helps to make your complexion even, helps with breakouts, and builds collagen.”
JW PEI Women’s Hana Medium Tote
Crafted from faux suede, this tote bag can stylishly carry all your favorite everyday items. “Every influencer has been posting about these bags,” Jessica said. “They are a luxury fashion statement and great quality. Looks designer without the hefty designer price tag.”
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
This luxury face cream helps with wrinkle reduction and cell renewal. It is also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and made with several high-grade vitamins. “This cream is pricey, but it is extremely hydrating, especially as we head into the colder months,” Jessica said.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
A medium coverage highlighter and skin prep, this blurring liquid looks great on its own or under foundation. “I am such a fan of Charlotte Tilbury,” Jessica said. “There has never been a more glamorous makeup brand. The products hold all day.”
This clean, hypoallergenic body wash is non-stripping and non-drying. It comes in four scents and is made with no silicones or parabens. “This body wash smells so good. I feel like I am getting a spa moment every time I shower,” Jessica said. “It’s a moment of peace to look forward to savoring when I wind down in the evenings.”
This programmable thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature when you’re away. It can preheat or precool your home before you walk in the door. It is easy to install and works with most VAC/HVAC units. “I just upgraded to a smart thermostat, and I didn’t know what I was missing,” Jessica said. “I love being able to control it from my phone. Especially if I am about to return home. I can make sure the temperature is set to exactly what I want it to be before I walk in the door.”
This secure, smart doorbell will let you see who is at your front door from wherever you are. “This has brought peace of mind for when I am away from home,” Jessica said. “An added layer of security that helps to ease my stress.”
