ORLANDO, Fla. — I try plenty of products, but the best ones are usually those I continue reaching for long after opening the box.
These four style and self-care finds have done exactly that. They combine comfort, versatility and designs that work without requiring much thought.
Genuins Riva clogs
Clogs and other slip-on shoes are everywhere right now, but comfort ultimately determines whether I will keep wearing a pair.
The Genuins Riva delivers the popular closed-toe look with an anatomical cork footbed and an adjustable buckle strap. The oiled leather also gives each pair some character instead of making the shoes feel overly polished.
These were comfortable from the beginning, without the difficult break-in period that sometimes comes with leather shoes. I find myself reaching for them instead of some of my nicer slippers when I want something comfortable and easy to put on.
The Riva is available in styles for men and women and is priced around $139.
Evea Microalgae Gold Radiance moisturizer
A skincare product has to fit easily into my routine or I probably will not continue using it. Evea Skincare’s Microalgae Gold Radiance has been an easy addition.
The moisturizer is made with botanical ingredients, antioxidants, microalgae and colloidal gold. Evea describes the formula as vegan-friendly and designed to help hydrate the skin.
I have enjoyed using it when my skin needs additional moisture, especially when air conditioning, sun exposure or a busy schedule leaves it feeling dry. It feels like a more elevated step in my routine without making that routine more complicated.
Prices start around $85.
The Alloy Market two-tone gold chain
The 14-karat two-tone diamond-cut curb link chain is a smaller, more understated piece, and that is exactly why I like it.
The two-tone design makes it easy to wear with different watches, bracelets or other accessories. It adds a little detail without taking over an outfit, so it works just as well with a fitted T-shirt as it does with something more dressed up.
The chain was a one-of-one piece and is no longer listed, but The Alloy Market regularly adds other authenticated, pre-owned jewelry to its online shop. Inventory can change quickly because many of its pieces are unique.
The company also buys gold, silver, platinum and palladium jewelry directly from customers. More information about its process is available on The Alloy Market’s main website.
