EDITOR'S NOTE

It’s officially Freeze Week. Which is partly something we made up, but thanks to the Arctic blast, the timing is extremely appropriate. You can expect the best editor-curated finds, including inexpensive clothing, accessories like hats and gloves, home goods, and everyday problem-solvers to help keep you warm. We know these early months of winter can feel sluggish, so we’re doing the hard work to find you products that’ll make bone-chilling days more bearable.

Truremedy Naturals Remedy Balm

This $20 multipurpose balm is living on our bedside table.

Margo here. No matter how much hand cream I apply to my hands, right now my skin is always dry. That’s why I’m working to integrate slugging (layering hydrating skincare products) onto my hands. This $20 balm from Truremedy Naturals is a go-to last step since it's an occlusive balm that’ll lock in moisture. I love it for cracked knuckles or peeling nail beds, but you can use it all over your body as needed.

Flirting With Disaster by Naina Kumar

The story: Real talk: Our editor read this steamy romance in one sitting. It’s the best book if you’re missing those classic early 2000s romcoms. When Meena, a high-powered lawyer, has found the perfect man to marry, there’s only one thing in her way: her estranged husband. Her “easy fix” is to return to her Texas hometown for the day to get him to sign her divorce papers. An impending hurricane ruins those plans.
