Salt Spray
"I have the type of hair that looks like a mermaid's on a good day, and matted seaweed on a bad one. Rather than spending serious styling time going straight, I've found that it's better to just embrace and enhance the beachy look. To get the perfect (faux) surfer girl waves, I use Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I wish I had invented salt spray ... it's pure genius to bring the ocean's salty, styling magic wherever you go." - Lila Glick, Intern

Essie Sleek Stick Nail Appliques, $10.25
"I love the look of freshly lacquered nails, but when it comes to waiting for them to dry, I have the patience of a five year old. I've never given myself a manicure that lasted more than three minutes without getting nicked. Essie Sleek Stick Nail Appliques mean zero drying time, and they last much longer than a typical manicure. They also come in cool nail art designs (floral print! lace! polka dots!) that I could never paint on myself." - Emily Woodruff, Intern

"The bane of my existence is bumping my wet nails and having to start all over. No one has time to sit there and let a manicure dry! I used to be a skeptic about quick-dry polish, but it changed my life. Not only do my manicures stay nick-free, they also last longer." - Claire Ballor, Intern
