I have tried a good amount of (admittedly all lower end) sheets and I have to say the JC Penney sheets are insanely smooth (random, I know!). https://www.jcpenney.com/p/wrinkle-guard-400tc-cotton-sheet-set/ppr5007993758?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&pTmplType=regular&cid=affiliate|Skimlinks|13418528|na&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Skimlinks&utm_campaign=13418528&utm_content=na&cjevent=fa5a64d7e6bd11ee806100440a82b824 and $50 today! They always go on sale. Wish they had more prints and colors but I go with white anyway.

And my favorite towels are Frontgate. I only have one but it is so soft and fluffy.

Dr. Rogers lip balm (not scented, not pigmented, just GREAT- Amazon carries it)

Lands’ End linen sheets… a splurge but so good

Harry’s body wash in Fig (Target)

Dirty Labs liquid laundry detergent in the original scent - I wish they made this as a perfume because I would buy it!

Merit blush - I love the persimmon, rouge, and beverly hills colors

Towels: I am in love with Onsen towels. They are not fluffy but they are super absorbent and soft and they dry really quickly. They are a Japanese waffle fabric, not your typical terry towels.

Lips: Tatcha lip mask. When I use this at night, I rarely have to use lip balm during the day. And I was a super lip balm addict until I found this product.

Came here to recommend the Frontgate towels. Thick, cozy, high quality. I learned about them from Wirecutter so also proven. Well worth the price (which isn’t that bad imo if you’re not stocking a whole house, for guests, etc).

Burt’s Bees Pomegranate lip balm

Lululemon no show socks (don’t dry them)

Lake pima pajamas

Trader Joe’s rose hand lotion

I need to know some great towels that stand the test of time! Looking for softness, no color dinginess, and thickness/plush.

Did a deep dive on Hillary Kerr’s newsletters and she has a recent one all about towels! She mentions the Frontgate ones too! https://open.substack.com/pub/hillarykerr/p/towels-towels-towels-100s-of-suggestions?r=6a3b9&utm_medium=ios
