What Interior Designer Kelly Wearstler Can’t Live Without

Our boys are in a band, so they have to practice once or twice a week. One of my sons also writes music. So I’ve always worn these earplugs when going to band practice, to protect my ears, but because I’m such a light sleeper, about three years ago, I started putting them in to go to bed, and now I sleep so much better. I’m super sensitive about my ears, but these are so soft and pliable that I barely feel them. I use them when traveling internationally to block out sound if I don’t want to put my headset on.

I found this at Erewhon like 15 years ago. It’s German and has been around for like 40 years. I’ll use the lip balm day and night because it’s all-natural and has this scent that’s — I don’t want to say it’s medicinal — but it smells like it’s working.

Mustela is really sentimental because the first time I ever used it was when I washed my boys with it when they were little. The smell reminds me of when they were babies. Now I use it on my body and my face — it’s not drying and it’s super gentle.

Everything actually stays on the hanger with these. If you have a delicate feminine blouse or something with a thin strap, it stays put! It’s quite thin so you can maximize the space in your closet, too. I found them through this organization expert I’ve worked with in the past.

I love these for traveling and keeping the germs away and when I’m out running around. I use them for everything — wiping myself down, wiping other things down. I actually have a few different kinds, but the one scent I really love is the lavender.

All of May’s products are completely natural — she makes them in her own lab. I truly believe that keeping your skin hydrated is an amazing antiaging remedy. I use it three to five times a day. I keep one at my desk. I have one in my car. I have another at home. It’s very refreshing during travel, too. You know Evian’s water spray? That’s just water, but this has jasmine and also additional antioxidants.

Two or three times a day, we burn this incense in the studio because it’s calming and smells amazing. We actually tried a whole bunch of different incenses, and everyone agreed that this was the best. It’s become this studio ritual that everyone loves.

I discovered Mason Pearson in London a long time ago, and I love this comb in particular because the teeth are wide enough that I can use it in the shower, no problem. A wide-tooth comb is so good for detangling but it’s hard to find one that has a sense of luxury. I have long locks and gotta keep them under control.

This water bottle is free of any of the bad stuff like BPAs. I literally come to work with three of them every day (I drink a lot of liquids). I have my protein green smoothie. And then I have a ginger celery juice. And then another one is just water that I bring with me to Barry’s. They’re practical and easy to tote around because they’re not glass. I just got the one featuring Camelbak’s brand-new lid.

I put this on my elbows, my hands, and my feet every night before I go to bed. It’s super hydrating and it keeps your skin really soft. [Editor’s note: Stephanie Danler has written about this product for the Strategist before.] Plus, it smells really good, and the packaging is really nice too. It’s an amazing formula, but it’s a little greasy, which is why I use it before bed. If I have it on my hands during the day, you can see my paw-prints all over the computer keyboard.

These are quite handy because I’m always running from meetings to job sites or galleries and need to keep something in the car as a snack. I’ll take them out of the fridge in the morning (they’re refrigerated) and stick them in my bag so when I do my Barry’s workout or a private Pilates class at lunch, I can eat half of one for additional protein.
