Skimm Her Life is a series in our weekly newsletter, Skimm Your Life, where smart women share their favorite products.
Smartest purchase you’ve made recently?
Hear me out…Superhuman. It’s completely changed my life. It keeps me organized — our whole team is obsessed.
Self-care product you swear by?
I’m really into my NuFace and the Hydrating Aqua Gel it comes with. It helps reduce all the puffiness from late-night work sessions (or when I get too into a book and can’t stop reading).
Your go-to travel hack?
Using the Capsules as a packing list. The feeling of forgetting something critical while away from home is not fun, so it’s nice knowing my Capsule System can actually prevent that.
Favorite item(s) for making a long flight more comfortable?
I love Indosole’s slides that are made out of recycled tires. I wear them with socks so that I’m cozy on the plane, and they’re super easy to slip on and off.
Best piece of advice for women entrepreneurs?
Ask yourself big questions. For me, the big ones are: Does the world really need this, and does this actually solve a real problem? From there, it’s about truly innovating. I adamantly believe that everything good comes from inventing, not just “editing” something that already exists.
What's a recent purchase you made that felt like an investment?
I do my best to only purchase items that are made with integrity and designed to last. I recently bought Byredo’s travel perfume case. It’s magnetic, and beautiful
How much did you spend on it, and why do you consider it a worthy investment?
It was $120. You can swap the fragrance you’re carrying, and I love that it means I can take fragrance with me and not worry about glass breaking in my bag. Fragrance, like the rest of my routine, is part of what makes me feel good. Just because you’re on-the-go doesn’t mean you can’t maintain the routines that make you feel like you.
Favorite surprisingly useful item under $25?
I love Fishwife. Having a tin of their smoked salmon on hand means that I can have a super quick, but healthy and colorful lunch in between (or let’s be honest…during) meetings.
The best eco-friendly swap you’ve made for an everyday item?
Bite’s Toothpaste Bits. I no longer have to toss toothpaste tubes, and they fit easily into my Capsules. My favorite is their charcoal mint flavor.
What three items do you always have in your bag?
The Capsules (for lip balm and emergency supplements), my AirPods, and my Hydro Flask. My bonus answer would be the LAMY pico ballpoint pen. It writes beautifully, but beyond that, it’s expandable and refillable.
