8 Things Our Editors Bought in May That Brought Us *So* Much Joy

Is it May or June that officially marks the start of summer? Maybe it’s both—or that sweet spot in between. At Well+Good, we like to mark the season with the Memorial Day sales that close out the month. And if you’re after more of our tried-and-true favorites, don’t miss our first-ever Well+Good Shop in Los Angeles, where you can shop curated wellness picks online or in person.

That said, warmer weather hasn’t stopped us from indulging in cozy comforts—we’re still all about plush blankets and relaxing bath soaks. And for those summer nights out? We’ve got recs for that, too, from a go-to foundation to a perfect little wristlet. Scroll on to see everything we're loving right now.

Well + Good Editors' Joy of the Month

Khuyen Dinh, Editorial Assistant

Lola Blanket — $249

I am a blanket connoisseur, and this one takes the cake. It is so soft and has a beautiful coat of fluff that remains fluffy throughout use and washing. It's hand-dyed, and I have the gorgeous sky blue color that adds a touch of luxury to my living room or bedroom (I take it with me from room to room, that's how much I love it). It's also got an elastic stretch that I didn't know I needed. Honestly, I lie on top of my comforter with this sometimes because it's that soft. And, bonus points, because my puppy loves it too.

Flewd Ache Erasing Bath Soak — $9

I love a relaxing bath every once in a while, and this ache-erasing bath soak from Flewd has officially become a staple in my rotation. It's made with muscle-relieving magnesium, vitamins C and D, and omega-3s to not only help with soreness, but stress relief, too. Plus, it smells amazing: The combination of essential oils and citrus scent makes your skin smell and feel great, too. You can buy single packs off their website, or subscribe for monthly soak packs, which come in the cutest bright packaging. It's a must-have if you're a bath lover, too!

Ossa Faceted Teardrop Gemstone Wristlet — $85

I'm a minimalist when it comes to jewelry, but once I saw the gorgeous Ossa cords for your phone, I had to have one. I've now purchased two, and it sparks a lot of joy. It's fun to change them out, and it looks so chic hanging out of a pocket or bag, but also convenient when your hands are full. My mom specifically asked for one for her birthday.

Sukhman Rekhi, Senior Health Editor

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation — $10

Let's be real—life is stressful. And on the days when I'm feeling overwhelmed or just a little low, I love putting makeup on. What they say is true: You do feel good when you look good. I've been trying to find a good shade match for my foundation for a long time, and while it's not the exact match, the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in the shade 322 Warm Honey comes pretty close. I live in a dry climate and also have dry skin, so I like my makeup to be lightweight, but also have good coverage. This foundation gives me such a bright glow, is easily buildable, blends nicely, and makes me feel confident when I walk out of the house.

Emily Ziemski, Senior Food Editor

Barriere Vitamin Patches — $18

Listen, if there's one thing a lot of us do during the summer, it's travel. Whether it's to faraway places or just to the local beach, being on the move and socializing more means that your immune system is probably going to take a hit. While I'm out and about, what I'm not thinking about is taking my vitamins. Enter: these cutie vitamin patches that look more like a temporary tattoo than a biohacking device. Science shows that skin absorption isn't the absolute best way to get your DVs, but sometimes a little something is better than nothing. Plus, when I'm traveling and run down, I'll take all the help I can get.

Salt & Stone Body Mist, Santal & Vetiver — $45

As we head into summer, I'm bulking up my body care routine. For me, that means smelling good and feeling fresh. Products that work in the blazing summer heat can be a challenge to find, so focusing on nourishing and light products was a given. After coming across this body mist from Salt & Stone, I immediately became intoxicated with the warm scent of Santal & Vetiver (some of my all-time favorite notes). And because it's alcohol-free and packed with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and red algae, my skin has been loving it as much as my nose. It's lighter than perfume and more resembles skincare, meaning I can reapply throughout the day without feeling like it's harsh on my skin or overwhelming my senses.

Jen Ator, Contributing Fitness Editor

Glotech Hair Pro — $475

Hair thinning has been a major issue I’ve been trying to solve. Some of the stronger treatments (aka minoxidil) aren’t an option for me right now, so I went all in on red light therapy. I love that you can fit this foldable panel into any hat you already wear. I also love that, unlike my LED mask, I hardly notice it’s on. Just 10 minutes a day while I’m sipping my coffee, doing the dishes, or doing really anything. It’s still too early to talk results (I’ll report back after 4-6 months!), but it’s such an easy habit that makes me feel hopeful rather than stressed about my thinning strands.

Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada Lotion — $32

I’m obsessed with this Sol de Janeiro body lotion—it’s way more lightweight than the OG Bum Bum Cream, but still has that same addictive scent. It absorbs super quickly, which makes it perfect for layering on in the morning or reapplying throughout the day without feeling sticky. I’ve been wearing it in the summer heat, and it doesn’t sweat off like heavier creams tend to. It’s become my go-to for soft, glowy skin that smells amazing all day.
