I know our inboxes have been absolutely flooded with products these past few weeks, but this is an IMPORTANT PSA. I found the answer to the million dollar question: WTF do we get our brothers/dads/boyfriends for the holidays? If I’m being honest, I usually piggyback off of my mom’s gifts for my family (pathetic, I know), but Tommy John is changing the game for me this year. This loungewear/underwear company hasTHE SOFTEST. AND I MEAN THE SOFTEST pantsI’ve ever felt. The material they created is called “second skin” — it doesn’t stretch out or pill like an overused pair of leggings (ladies, we get the feeling). Plus, you just KNOW there’s nothing like reliable loungewear to get you through the winter (and spring, summer, and fall). But back to my point, theSecond Skin Pajama Pocket Tee & Pants Setis such a good option to keep in mind this year I just had to do my due diligence and share. And okay fine, they have a female version that I’ll be purchasing for myself too. It’s free shipping so it’s basically a bargain. Girl math, duh.—Alex Teri, Integrated Marketing Manager, and Expert Couch Potato in Comfortable Clothing |

They say a body in motion stays in motion, but what do you do when you legit dread any form of movement? That was basically me until I found my new fave workout class:Barre3. It’s not your typical barre class with tiny little movements that burn every single muscle in your body. It has all of that and so much more — pairing the tiny tucks and squeezes with full body cardio bursts and rounding it all out with breathwork at the end of class. What I love most about the 60-minute signature class is that it flies by — there’s no drawn-out sequence that becomes boring — but it’s certainly intense. Before you know it, you’re 30 minutes in and you blink again, you’re getting ready for breathwork and wrapping up class, feeling accomplished and proud for moving your body for *a whole hour.* I go to the Jersey City location, which offers one free first class, but I think many studios offer this too. Check it out, and trust me you’ll be hooked.—Arisara Srisethnil, VP Marketing Who’s Finally Found Balance to Her High-Carb Diet |

It’s official. I’m a gym goer. I go to the gym MULTIPLE times a week. I know, I know. Gross right? I’m almost ashamed to admit that it’s done wonders for my mental health, blah blah blah. But in reality, it has mostly just made me feel hotter. Not because of stupid body size nonsense but because there’s something sexy about getting stronger. (I’ve never challenged more people to an arm wrestling contest in my life.) \xa0 The real game changer though was when I realized I didn’t have to schlep to the gym in a dirty oversized tee and baggy sweatpants. (No hate! I now save this hot little number for TV time.) I finally invested in nice gym clothes — specificallyGymShark— and it pains me to admit it actually makes a difference. \xa0 After years of going for the cheaper option (hello, Old Navy) and refusing to spend \\$100 on leggings (looking at you Lululemon), I was frustrated to find that the quality really did matter. (There’s nothing worse than having your pants start to slip during a deadlift, amiright? Oh god I’m officially a gym bro.) That’s when I discovered GymShark as my personal Goldilocks. The clothes are sooo freaking cute (love me a matching set) and the price is actually reasonable. So take advantage oftheir salebefore I buy up the rest of their stock.—Melanie Whyte, Life Editor Who Loves A Deal |

Bonjourno, Brooklyn Betches — if you’re within walking or subway distance of Park Slope, I’ve got the mostbellissimarecommendation for you. As someone who could eat a never-ending supply of never-ending pasta bowls, I’m absolutely stoked to be able to live neartwoincredible markets offering the best fresh Italian food 4,000 miles west of Florence. The first,Un Posto Italiano, is a shop specializing in imported Italian goods (olive oil girlies, step up), and fresh pasta made to order. Pick up a pound of tagliatelle, some pancetta, a hunk of stracchino, and a bottle of Italian wine, and youalmostcan create Little Italy in your own home — so long as you also stop atFoca Focaon 5th avenue to snag a delicious and addictive piece of focaccia in an impressive array of flavors. Literally, *chef’s kiss*.—Kate Ward, Chief Content Officer Who Can Say “There’s A Bee In My Sugar” in Italian Thanks to Duolingo |

Calling all basic girlies (@ myself), your favorite drink just got a lot less basic this season: espresso martinis, but with tequila, and with a lotttt of unique flavors. Make your holiday party theme really *pop* with espresso martini flights (818 tequila has the perfect recipes). With flavors like cookie butter and tiramisu and peppermint mocha and olive oil (trust me, it’s surprisingly delicious), these are espresso martinis like ~you’ve never tasted them before~. And don’t let the tequila deter you—I’m usually a vodka girl all the way, and I’ve officially been converted. A cute invite with little espresso martini drawings? Festive decor? A holiday romcom? Brb, texting the group chat as we speak. —Aleeza Zinn, Content Manager, Entertainment, Currently Obsessed With 818 Tequila’s Espresso Martinis |
