What Jennifer Meyer Can’t Live Without

I’m not a big makeup person. But I’m at a time of my life and an age where I need a little something on my face. And a swipe of this makes me look alive and glowy. It’s so easy; I just use my finger and tap it on my cheeks a little on the top of my nose. You feel like you were just in the sun and got a little tan, and I love all the colors.

I have really thick hair, and when I get out of the shower, even if I’ve used a lot of conditioner, my hair is still knotted. But when I use this detangler, my hair brushes really easily and has a less frizzy feel. At the same time, it’s light on your hair and it smells so good.

This is my desert-island product. I use it in the morning, I use it before I go to sleep, I use it if I’m putting makeup on. My skin just drinks it up, and I can see a difference in my skin texture when I’m consistent with it. I know Tina Craig, who started U Beauty, and let me be clear: I have a lot of friends who’ve started a lot of lines, and they’re fine. But this moisturizer is really amazing. If you’re going to spend money on one product, it’s this one, and it’s the only one you need.

I hate AirPods so much, because no matter what, I will lose one. My fiancé has had the same pair of AirPods for God knows how long; when he’s done, he always puts them right back in the case and right in his pocket. But for me, there’s just no way. So I like these over-ear ones instead. They fit really well, and they’re so comfortable. I kind of just go into my own little world when I’m wearing them on the plane or on the beach or when I’m at home doing a workout.

This was completely served to me on Instagram, like, two years ago, and I have been using them ever since. I cannot explain it, but they just take everything off. Sometimes even a washcloth makes my skin feel sensitive, but these are really soft on your skin. My daughter uses them, and I just stocked her up. She’s going to college in September, and these are perfect for a dorm because you don’t need to put water on them. You can just put toner on them or whatever.

Not to be boring or whatever, but there was a period of time in my 20s where I started getting panic attacks, and I had never had panic attacks before. Since then, I don’t like the feeling I get from caffeine, where my heart is racing. I’m not interested in feeling panicky. I have enough energy as is. But I really love my coffee in the morning. I go to bed thinking about my coffee, like,Oh, I’m so excited to wake up and have my cup of coffee. So decaf is my alternative to still be able to have coffee. People say there can be a lot of chemicals, especially in decaf, so I was searching for good organic, clean, decaf coffee, and this brand kept coming up. I’ve been drinking it for a while now, and it is so good and it’s so delicious, and it doesn’t make me have a panic attack.

I have a lot of jeans and I’ve gone through a lot of jeans, so I actually feel like at this point I’m a jeans connoisseur. And I’m not into jeans that are too tight anymore. This particular pair is low and baggy, but not too low; it hits me around the belly button. I think AGolde makes an amazing pair of jeans too, the ’90s Pinch Waist. It’s great, but these Favorite Daughter ones in the light-blue wash just hit every moment. They’re cute with sneakers. They’re cute with heels. They’re cute with boots.

Nobody knows about these, but they are the perfect bra. They come in the cutest two-tone colors that are bright and fun. Plus, they fit so well. They hold you up even without any kind of push-up lining. And they’re just beautiful. The only thing is they don’t come in black. It makes me crazy. I’m like,Guys, make a black one.

I think jewelry and perfume go hand in hand. I love how jewelry sort of becomes a part of you, and I will always remember the pieces my mom wore when I was a little girl. She always had a very simple gold chain necklace, her little watch, and her gold hoops. It’s the same with perfume. Like how there are certain people where you recognize their scent and know that they were just there. I never want it to be overpowering. But I love the idea of someone hugging you and being like,Oh, you smell so good. Oh, let me smell you again. I grew up on the beach, and I love that feeling of being on the beach all day, you feel good, you smell good. So I wanted to re-create that with a mixture of strawberries and coconuts and neroli blossom. It’s not too sweet, though; there’s something a little savory in there too. I’ve actually run into people who are like, “I’m wearing your perfume. I smell like you,” and it makes me so happy.
