EDITOR'S NOTE

To put it lightly, temperatures (and the energy as of late), have been frigid. And while shopping and scrolling might not be on your mind, I do want to call out a couple of products that have been helpful to my family members in Nashville who are without power:

• These Energizer lanterns. They provide 500 lumens of LED light and double as phone chargers.

• Some electric hand warmers. I love that these can also charge portable electronic devices.

While you might not want to be thinking about future storms, keeping these charged and on hand will keep you prepared. And if you do have power and are hunkering down, I’m currently into these at-home workouts from Apple and this layerable sweatshirt.

Stay warm (and safe).

Margo here. Most of the time, I don’t think about buying tights until I reach for a pair…only to realize I don’t own any. And with winter at its peak frostiness, I was sucked into a marketing email from Sheertex touting its latest sale. It’s so good that I have to tell you about it: the Instagram-beloved tights brand (famous for being rip- and snag-resistant) is offering up to 80% off clearance and free shipping on orders over $29. Its tights are usually just under $50, but now they're going for around $20. Jump to it.

Three Totally Random Things

Here are three random products we’re loving this week:

• Sticky Cakes Bestsellers Set: A bundle featuring the brand’s bestselling circular and triangular adhesive nipple covers.

• Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream: The ultra-gentle ointment-gel cream Skimm’rs bought on repeat last week.

• Anthropologie The Bistro Tile Stoneware Espresso Cup & Saucer: A sweet $20 gift idea.

Take Note

There’s a new push-up bra you need to know about. Knix’s Uplift Push-Up Bra provides gentle lift and support without wires, which means you can wear it all day without counting down the minutes until you can take it off. Its seamless, smoothing shape makes it nearly undetectable underneath clothing, and the five-row closure means it won’t budge. Pick from five colors and a range of adjustable sizes.
