Katie's relies on her Lancôme moisturizer because it doesn't feel greasy or oily, and it doesn't irritate her sensitive skin and eczema. It's packed with shea butter and hyaluronic acid, which help deliver hydration for up to a full 24 hours, leaving your skin looking plump first thing in the morning.

No one really enjoys chores, but a tool that makes them less annoying is worth talking about. Katie is a fan of this handheld vacuum for tackling everyday messes, from spilled flour to the dust bunnies that have the audacity to emerge from their hiding spots the second you’ve finished cleaning.

If you haven't been following Katie's book club, it's time to hop on the bandwagon. This month, she's reading Jodi Picoult's newest novel, Hollow Bones. After losing her mother on 9/11, an emergency preparedness expert who has built her life around planning for the worst is forced to reckon with the limits of control when an unexpected crisis shakes her marriage and everything she thought she knew.

Making coffee at home is a habit that's better for your wallet and the environment — and having a milk frother makes a homemade brew much more enticing. Bonus tip: Katie adds cinnamon to her milk for a delicious (and sugar-free) treat in the morning.

Katie and John are constantly on the go, so they know a thing or two about packing efficiently. One of Katie's recent travel suggestions is to use packing cubes, which help organize your suitcase into tidy compartments. This set compresses down, so all you overpackers can rest easy and bring whatever you want on your next trip.

Listen, getting a weekly blowout isn't in the cards for most of us because of budget and time constraints. After Katie's hairdresser gifted her the Dyson Airwrap, she started styling her hair at home, and it's easier than she expected. "It’s so much easier to use than holding a round brush in one hand and a blowdryer in the other — and the results are much better, at least for a non-professional like me," Katie says.

On long-haul flights, noisy commutes, or when listening to podcasts, Katie prefers headphones with crystal clear sound quality and noise-cancelling abilities. These ones from Bose fit the bill, and she's had them for years. They're extremely comfortable to wear (even with earrings), and they don't leave you with a headache like some too-tight models.

When it comes to smashing passes on the pickleball court, having the right paddle is key. The easy-to-hold grip and carbon fiber paddle on this one are standout details, but the included case is a nice touch, too. You can catch Katie acing serves with a similar paddle, which she carries with her from court to court.

Years ago, Bobby Flay (name drop, no shame) gifted Katie a container of Maldon salt. She's been hooked ever since. You can use it to finish off pasta dishes, sprinkle it atop chocolate chip cookies, and so much more. Plus, it makes a great gift for the friend who loves to cook. Katie buys large containers of the stuff to make sure she doesn't run out.

If you’re anything like Katie, the last thing you want to wrestle with before getting dressed is an ironing board, especially when you’re traveling. Enter this little handheld steamer, a surprisingly powerful gadget considering the size. It heats up in about 30 seconds, smooths clothes fast, and folds up so neatly. It’s so lightweight and simple to operate, you might even be inspired to use it at home, too. (It’d be a huge help when steaming wrinkles out of new curtains, for example.) This guy is simple, reliable, and helps you look way less rumpled, even when you’re ridiculously jet-lagged.

These earrings remind Katie of the classic Paloma Picasso earrings from Tiffany. They’re super light and elegant-looking, and so far they haven’t turned her ears green, which is a huge win considering they cost less than $15 a pair.

Katie recently discovered this gentle SPF, and she loves it so much, it won a Timeless Beauty Award. She turned us all onto it, too, and we've learned the higher price tag is worth it if you have sensitive skin. This tinted SPF protects her from both UV rays and blue light, while also acting as a skin tint. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide broad-spectrum sun protection without the irritation sometimes associated with chemical sunscreens, while iron oxides help defend against discoloration.

Katie's fingers never smell like garlic, and it's not because she doesn't cook with it — It's because she doesn't claw the peel off with her fingernails like the rest of us garlic-loving loonies. "I swear by this gadget," Katie says. Just put your cloves in the rubber tube, roll it on the counter, and the peel will come right off. No more papery garlic husks flying around your kitchen.

How many of us have lost a pair of sunglasses in the ocean or accidentally left them behind at a vacation rental? *Raises hand.* After seeing them on a coworker, Katie snagged herself a pair of these inexpensive sunnies that are dead ringers for some designer specs. We hope you don't lose or scratch them, but if you do, you can replace them for only $11.

Having a glass of wine or a cocktail while at the beach or pool is a dream, but spilling it in the sand or water is a nightmare. With this acrylic cup, you don't have to worry about tipped-over drinks ever again. You can stake it in the sand if you're on the shore, or you can let it float in the pool while you're taking an evening dip (just be sure to keep splashing to a minimum — you don't want to be drinking a chlorinated cocktail).

During peak cherry season, you'll find Katie whipping up cobblers and pies with the sweet stone fruit for as long as she can. Removing the pits can be a pain, but using this stapler-like device makes pitting cherries as easy as, well, pie.
