September is already feeling so fresh\u2014the kids are back in school, and I\u2019m leaning into the cozy rituals that always give me a little thrill this time of year. Stocking up on new supplies for my home office<\/a>, honing in my fall wardrobe essentials<\/a>, and returning to my daily writing routine<\/a> all feel like the reset I\u2019ve been craving.<\/p>\n More than anything, though, I\u2019ve been focusing on staying present and finding joy in the small, unplanned moments. Over the long weekend, we had one of those rare, blissful days with nothing on the calendar. Instead of filling it with the things I thought we should<\/em> do, I decided to just say yes to whatever the kids wanted. We played mini golf, waited in an hour-long line at La La Land for the viral strawberry matchas (Phoebe\u2019s dream\u2014they were actually worth it), and made a Target run for pumpkin spice tea<\/a> and a few festive little pumpkins<\/a> for her room.<\/p>\n With no agenda other than being together, it ended up being a day I know I\u2019ll remember\u2014filled with laughter, connection, and the kinds of conversations I didn\u2019t even know we needed. That\u2019s the vibe I\u2019m carrying into September: slowing down, leaning into simple pleasures, and remembering how good life feels when I don\u2019t overcomplicate it.<\/p>\n In that spirit, I\u2019ve rounded up my Editor Picks for September 2025<\/strong>\u2014a mix of grounding, joyful finds that feel just right for a seasonal refresh.<\/p>\n Like most women who are both chronically online and wellness-obsessed, creatine<\/a> has been on my radar for ages. But I never found a brand that truly clicked\u2014until now. Enter: Arrae. Their mixed berry gummies<\/a> (delicious, btw) slip right into my morning supplement lineup, and within a week, I noticed a serious boost in endurance for both cardio and strength workouts. And the name? Spot on. \u201cTone\u201d is exactly what these gummies deliver. If building lean muscle is also your priority, consider this your new secret weapon. \u2013 Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been in a bit of a reading slump, which is rare for the summertime when I\u2019m typically tearing through novel after novel. The cure? The Women<\/em> by Kristin Hannah<\/a>. Her best-seller, The Nightingale<\/em> is one of my all-time favorite books, and The Women<\/em> has the same perfect combination of historical fiction and romance. This book does come with a warning: you\u2019ll be an emotional wreck at multiple points in the story! It\u2019s a powerful, moving depiction of women during the Vietnam War, and the very real, complicated nature of love. \u2013 Bridget Chambers, Fashion Editor<\/em><\/p>\n The only skincare I\u2019ve been using lately is this incredibly effective duo: the Resurfacing Compound <\/a>is my holy grail of exfoliation and resurfacing, while the SUPER Hydrator<\/a> locks moisture into skin for 48 hours and leaves the glowiest complexion. Yes, they\u2019re an investment\u2014but they\u2019ve taken the place of all the other steps in my skincare routine, so\u2014you do the (girl) math.<\/p>\n Adding to my Sofie Pavitt praise: The best part of my morning is spritzing Fridge-to-Face Blemish<\/a> mist all over my face. I\u2019m a big believer in niacinamide for minimizing breakouts and dark spots, and this delivers my daily dose in the best way. \u2013 Langa Chinyoka, Beauty Editor<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been loving the brand-new\u00a0Danessa Myricks C<\/a><\/span>olor Fix<\/a> sticks<\/a> on my eyes for a night out or a dinner with the girls. The iridescent finish might seem intimidating at first, but every shade is surprisingly wearable and easy to apply. Even just a dab in the corner of my eye adds a lot to a look. \u2013 Langa Chinyoka, Beauty Editor<\/em><\/p>\n From someone who always has a trip on the books, say goodbye to your old backpack because this backpack\/duffel<\/a> is it<\/em>. You can wear it like a backpack, pack it flat like a duffel, and the pockets keep everything organized. It\u2019s lightweight but super durable, fits perfectly under an airplane seat, and the padded straps make it actually comfortable to carry through long travel days. Truly one of my holy grail travel essentials, I couldn\u2019t recommend it more. \u2013 Anna Decker, Social Media & E-Commerce Manager<\/em><\/p>\n I finally found a chic Mary Jane shoe that doesn\u2019t hurt my feet. These perforated leather ballet flats<\/a> are a bit of a splurge, but already the price-per-wear has made them worth it\u2014they look great with dresses, jeans, slacks, and<\/em> shorts. I\u2019ve walked in them all around town, and okay, I needed a single Band-Aid for a day. BUT! After that, they were totally broken in. Love how they elevate every single outfit! (I suggest going up a half size.) \u2013 Brittany Chatburn, Content Marketing Director<\/em><\/p>\n When I began curating my business casual capsule wardrobe for law school, I knew I needed a reliable pair of loafers that would go well with both slacks and jeans. After testing a few pairs, I decided on Madewell\u2019s Corrinne Lugsole Loafer<\/a>. This shoe strikes the perfect balance between chic, classy, and casual, and they\u2019re comfortable enough to wear all day (with no blisters). \u2013 Casey McKee, Editorial Assistant<\/em><\/p>\n Lately, my daily walks have a new companion: the\u00a010% Happier<\/em>\u00a0podcast by Dan Harris<\/a>. Each episode includes expert-backed science with daily practices for self-improvement, so I walk away feeling inspired\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0equipped with practical tools to actually make changes in my daily routine. It\u2019s self-care that sticks because I know exactly why it works. \u2013 Tatom Hoffman, Marketing Intern<\/em><\/p>\n I hosted a dinner party a few weeks ago and got a party box from The Bouqs Co<\/a>. The flowers were stunning! A party box comes with 100 stems you can arrange yourself, and I ended up with six small bouquets. It was such a treat\u2014next time, I\u2019d love to make one giant centerpiece! \u2013 Kristin Garaffo, Design Editor<\/em><\/p>\n Discipline, ritual, and supportive practices have been a huge focus for me this season, and nothing has been as game-changing as the Activations app<\/a>. These positive, mindset-shifting recordings have completely transformed the way I move through my days\u2014I feel more abundant, more grounded, and like my energy has shifted in the best way. I cue them up while I get ready in the morning, keep them on in the background as I clean, and even let them play while I sleep. It\u2019s the kind of small daily ritual that creates a big, lasting impact. (Pick up founder Mimi Bouchard\u2019s book, Activate Your Future Self<\/a><\/em>, while you\u2019re at it\u2014it\u2019s the perfect read if you\u2019re craving change.) \u2013 Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist<\/em><\/p>\n These cookies from Maison Methodologie<\/a> are my secret to hitting my protein goals. As someone who started lifting last year but who also has a relentless sweet tooth, I was tired of protein dessert recipes that didn\u2019t deliver on the promise of actually tasting good. These are cookies made the French way and so freaking good. I always keep a stash of these cookies in my freezer and purse when traveling, for the most delicious and satisfying treat. \u2013 Suruchi Avasthi, Food Editor<\/em><\/p>\n This vanilla<\/a> is the secret to upgrading everything in your kitchen. From my morning coffee, afternoon smoothie, all the cookies, mixed into yogurt, and so on, this vanilla powder if my absolute favorite for that distinctly warm vanilla flavor with a beautiful floral note. Beyond Good\u2019s chocolate is also my go-to for when that chocolate craving strikes. \u2013 Suruchi Avasthi, Food Editor<\/em><\/p>\n This milk changed my life. A little dramatic? Probably. But Elmhurst\u2019s walnut milk<\/a> is my favorite alt milk ever. Its flavor is perfectly rich, elevating my morning matcha and coffee, adding a silky-smooth texture to my smoothie and chia puddings, and is the best flavor for a bowl of cereal. I always have a few cartons on hand! \u2013 Suruchi Avasthi, Food Editor<\/em><\/p>\n My iced matcha has officially entered her main character era<\/em> thanks to Slate Milk (French Vanilla flavor)<\/a>. Paired with my other current fave\u2014Crafti Matcha<\/a>\u2014and plenty of ice, it\u2019s creamy, protein-packed, and honestly tastes like melted vanilla ice cream. The extra boost of protein keeps my focus steady all morning! \u2013 Edie Horstman, Wellness Editor<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nOur Editors\u2019 September 2025 Picks<\/h2>\n
