I’ve been on a big morning kick lately (my love affair with Beast Blender is still going strong!), and in an effort to save time, I’ve been using W&P’s reusable silicone bags to make my smoothies the night before. The bag’s roomy flat bottom design is ideal for loading with piles of frozen fruits and vegetables and fits easily in the sometimes crowded freezer. Plus, I like to know that I keep a disposable plastic bag out of the landfill every time I use it! And when I’m done, I just throw it in the dishwasher – like an easy, sustainable swap!

Some people collect coins, vinyls or figurines – I collect mugs and glassware. This KINTO glass coffee mug has a double wall design and a convenient outer ring – giving it a modern look that reminds you of Saturn and is fun to use and a pleasure to see on my table. But what I love most about the sci-fi aesthetic is the fact that the insulated design holds the temperature of the drinks well without overheating my hands or leaving wet spots on my table.

I’ve been obsessed with these colorful HAY boxes lately. Admittedly, the shape of the box itself isn’t anything too innovative—they have a very practical and utilitarian foldable design—but the bulk of their appeal is about the colors. From light green and soft pink to earthy terracotta and pale blue, there are plenty of modern colors to choose from. They come in different sizes too, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to find a use for them in every corner of your home. I love the pop of color they bring into the room, and the fact that they’re stackable makes them a must-have for easy storage and organization.

Like a lot of things with a gradient of color, wavy objects have a special kind of stick to me. So the Wavy Lamp from Wooj Design was an instant addition to your cart. The 3D jellyfish-inspired shape is totally unique and has a fun and whimsical modern sculptural look at its core. I keep my desk on my desk, and their soft glow beautifully frames my workspace without being too intense or overpowering like other desk lamps I own. If you want to create a warm and cozy atmosphere and add a curvy and whimsical touch to your space – Wavy Lamp is the man for you!

I’m proud to say I’m now a fixed plant killer, all thanks to the innovative design of Greenery Unlimited’s self-watering plant pots. The raised planter design has the plant pot on top with a water tank at the bottom that allows the roots to pass through and drink water as needed – sparing the fern plant a tragic death due to over-watering, so it can live at its best. Love the contrast between the soft white ceramic and the rest of my home décor, and the modern look of the loft. This planter has reignited a vegan’s confidence in style!
