Cell Phone Accessories

 
Annie Grasso profile picture
I love a Velvet Caviar case. I've used them on three phones and they outlast the phones. All cases are mag safe and have matching accessories. They can be on the pricey side but they are worth the investment. They're solid cases that do what they pro...
VELVET CAVIAR Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Case - Black Leopard Print
 
Annie Grasso profile picture
Affordable and durable. You can't get better for the price and quality. They go on easy and as long as you prep the screen, there will be no bubbles. Camera protectors aren't my favorite as a whole and I found these interfered with my phone case.

I use this with my Velvet Caviar case on a Samsung and love it. I don't like the feel of Pop Sockets and got tired of using the 3M loops that stuck to my cases. It doesn't prop your phone up but it's a great accessory if you hate the weight of your p...
GripMate MagSafe Phone Ring Holder for iPhone

If you don't have a magsage case but still want a phone loop; these are a great affordable option. You need to clean the case with alcohol before applying it to get them to adhere properly but they last a long time. They have to potential to ruin a c...

I have a love/hate relationship with wireless headphones and always go back to these specific wired ones. They're Type-C so they should work on all phones.

Handbags

Handbags make the outfit and are a worth while investment to me. I don't shop high end luxury but usually stay in that mid level designer brands. I appreciate a well designed, structured bag that can hold a decent amount. I'm rough on bags so I need ...

Great for people who are on the go and need a sturdy bag. The leather is soft but strong and holds it structure. The bag is deep so you do need an organizer for it, if you don't want everything to fall into an abyss. I use it daily for works; it hold...

Lip Care

No one likes crusty, dry lips. Smooth, moisturized lips are necessary and lipstick should be made to last in my opinion.

If you're looking for a thicker, long lasting lip balm this is it. I don't life the lip mask as much as I like the balm. I put this on before bed every night and my lips are still moisturized in the morning. This is a staple in my every day and has b...
Mario Badescu Lip Balm
 
Annie Grasso profile picture
I find this best if not kept in a purse but rather on my desk so it doesn't melt. They're multi-use, though I only use it on my lips. It's not the longest lasting lip product but I like the moisture retention I get from it.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Stick (3 Pack)
 
Annie Grasso profile picture
A cheaper, comparable lip balm to the Mario Badescu lip balm. It's thick and long lasting. The scented ones do have more of an oily residue so I mainly go for the plain ones. I only prefer the tubes; the stick formula is completely different.

Items I need at home and in the office to be the most efficient.

Bold, smooth lines. The gel doesn't bleed or smear. I always have one on me at all times. The pens last forever and unless you lose them; you won't need to buy new ones. They also have replacement cartridges.

Cute, light, every day note books. Throw them in your purse, on your end table or scribble your to do list on them at work. They're affordable, good quality and just a great notebook to always have on hand.

These are stupid heavy and ridiculous but they keep my drinks cold and get me to consume water so I won't complain that much. I strictly use them for water and nothing else. I've had Simple Modern and other ones but where those brands grew mold in th...

Microsoft discontinued my favorite keyboard and mouse combo and I have been on the hunt for a replacement ever since. So far, this is the top contender. I need a larger keyboard and mouse due to carpal tunnel; so if you're looking for something compa...

Literally the most convenient surge protector I've ever found. There are ports on four sides with usb and lightening slots on the other. I don't need anything else to run my home or work office.

I'm boring and only like yellow highlighters; specifically these. They're bright, the tips are slanted but durable so they don't wear down. It takes a while for them to dry out honestly.
Sharpie Pocket Highlighters, Chisel Tip, Yellow, 12

They're juicy and pigmented. I love the bold colors, they're not streaky. They are a thicker marker and fine lines are difficult but overall better than Expo markers.

If you take care of Ray-Bans; you'll never need to buy a new pair for a while. I have my original pair that are over 11 years old. Always get polarized; especially if you have sensitive eyes. Ray-Ban also has a program where you can replace the lense...

I haven't found a better tweezer yet. Tweezerman's are an investment to most but are worth it in my opinon. You can sharpen them if they get dull though I've never had to. They're great quality, aren't easily bent or broken. They're sharp and precise...

I have contact dermatitis and eczema; using lotions, even if they're specific to dry skin and eczema still cause me to flare up. This is the only cream that I have found that doesn't irritate me during a flare up but regular cortisone does. It's ligh...

And oldie but a goodie. Want vampy, nearly black but not black nails? Lincoln Park After Dark is the only option. This deep purple goes with every outfit and every season.

These are great for on the go or light makeup removal before washing your face. They're not irritating to the skin and they're just as good as a name brand wipe. They don't dry out as quickly as so more expensive brands.

It's sweet and a little musky and it truly lasts all day. I apply in the morning and never reapply throughout the day. It reminded me of a Sol De Janerio scent that I didn't want to spend the money on.

I layer this on top of stick deodorant, especially during the summer. It never leaves a white residue and it's very long lasting.

Long lasting, lightly scented so it doesn't clash with your perfume or body spray. It goes on clear and stays clear; never leaves a whtie residue.
