HOT LIBS
“HOT LIBS” IS A SERIES WHERE WE ASK OUR FAVORITE PEOPLE (AND BRANDS) TO FILL IN THE BLANKS.
WE’RE BACK WITH THE WOMAN WHO DOES IT ALL, YET NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION: @marta. WHILE SHE’S BUILDING @airmilkshake, AND @dieuxskin, AND @angeltherapy, AND @angeltherapyflower, AND @tenderlovingcrying, WE’RE WONDERING HOW SHE’S DOING IT ALL WHILE BEING SO FABULOUS!!! THIS SATURDAY, MARTA IS REMINDING US TO ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE: A BED ON THE BEACH, EDIBLES, AND DESSERT. AND ROOM SERVICE. AND A BATH. AND A JOINT. WELL, YOU GET THE POINT.😇
WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE THE END OF THE WEEK THAN WITH SOMEONE SWEETER THAN THE SOUND OF “FRIDAY”: @sabeenaladha. YOU MAY KNOW HER AS THE FOUNDER & CEO OF @eatdeux, OR AS A SHARK TANK LEGEND. (TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE!) OR, AS A “SNACK LADY,” AS SABEENA SAYS HERSELF. AND LET’S BE REAL. SHE IS THE MOST ICONIC “SNACK LADY” OF ALL TIME. WHO ELSE COULD PULL OFF THE COLLABS OF THE CENTURY: @theskinnyconfidential, @chamberlaincoffee, and, wait for it, @tower28beauty. COMING SOON. WE’RE SO EXCITED WE COULD SCREAM.🍪
WHAT’S PURPLE, ORANGE, AND DESIGNED FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?! @tower28beauty, FOUNDED BY THE ONE, THE ONLY, @amyliu_t28. WHEN AMY’S NOT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE TIKTOK ALGORITHM (BECAUSE, SAME), SHE DAYDREAMS ABOUT DANCING TO ‘90S RAP AND NAPPING. SHE’S JUST LIKE THE REST OF US!!!💜
CONSIDER OUR SUNDAY SCARIES OFFICIALLY CURED THANKS TO THIS VISIT FROM @priscilla.tsai, THE FORCE BEHIND @cocokind. NOT ONLY IS SHE SHAPING THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY FOR THE BETTER, BUT ALSO OUR NOTION OF “THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH.” STAYING IN AND WATCHING TV ON OUR COUCH WHILE DOING OUR SKINCARE ROUTINE? NAME SOMETHING BETTER THAN THAT, WE’LL WAIT.🌟
NEXT UP WE HAVE @carinachaz, THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE CULT FAVORITE FRAGRANCE BRAND, @dedcool. WHEN SHE’S NOT CONCOCTING NEW SCENTS IN THEIR LA LAB, CARINA CAN BE FOUND DAYDREAMING ABOUT LIFE IN SPACE. AND WHO CAN BLAME HER?! WHAT A LIFE THAT LIFE WOULD BE. TIME TO GO DRENCH OURSELVES IN DEDCOOL’S MILK PERFUME🥛🚀👽
@thejennybird IS IN THE HOUSE AND TALKING ALL ABOUT REST AND RELAXATION? WHY? BECAUSE RUNNING ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC JEWELRY BUSINESSES OF ALL TIME (@_jennybird), AND BEING A BADASS MOM, REQUIRES SOME ALONE TIME. FOR JENNY, THAT MEANS A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS: BEING SUBMERGED IN A BATHTUB, DANCING TO HER FAVORITE TUNES, OR IMMERSING HERSELF IN NATURE. THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS!💎
THIS WEEK, OUR SPECIAL GUEST IS THE WOMAN WHO INVENTED THE COLOR NEON GREEN, DARE WE SAY, KEY LIME GREEN. CAITLIN HUBNER IS THE FOUNDER OF @caitskeylime, A NYC-BASED AND BROOKLYN-MADE PIE COMPANY SELLING, YOU GUESSED IT, KEY LIME PIE. THIS PIE IS UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU HAVE EVER TASTED BEFORE. DON’T BELIEVE US? TRY IT FOR YOURSELVES. HER NEXT ROUND OF ORDERS ARE OPEN 11/1 ON HER SITE AND MINI PIES ARE AVAILABLE AT ALL SWEET CHICK LOCATIONS. (PS: IF YOU’RE ORDERING ANYTHING BUT CAIT’S KEY LIME THIS FALL, WE’LL BE HAVING A SERIOUS TALK.)🥧
SAY HELLO TO @liviemaher, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS FOUNDER AND CEO OF “GIRL DINNER.” HER VIRAL VIDEO INTRODUCING THE TREND AMASSED OVER 1.5M VIEWS ON TIKTOK AND WAS COVERED BY THE NYT AND MORE. SHE WAS EVEN NAMED TO CHERRY BOMBE’S FUTURE OF FOOD 50 LIST! ON TOP OF IT ALL, LIV DONATES A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM HER GIRL DINNER MERCH TO HELP VERMONT FARMERS RECUPERATE FROM THE SUMMER FLOODS. DOING GOOD WHILE GOING VIRAL👩🏻🌾
IN OUR LAST #HOTLIBS OF THE YEAR, @gabyscelzo SHARES A PASSIONATE TRIBUTE TO THE KNICKS WHO ARE, IN HER OWN WORDS, THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE NBA. GABY’S MORE THAN A KNICKS SUPERFAN; SHE’S A BAKED GOODS GENIUS AND THE FOUNDER OF SIFTED, A WEEKLY RECIPE RECOMMENDATION NEWSLETTER. (IF YOU’RE NOT SUBSCRIBED, SUBSCRIBE.) AT THE END OF THE DAY, HER HOPES AND DREAMS ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE KNICKS, SPECIFICALLY BAKING THE TEAM A CAKE. @nyknicks + @nba: YOUR MOVE🏀
FIRST UP IS @mayssa! CANDY CONNOISSEUR BY DAY, DJ AT NIGHT. MAYSSA FOUNDED @eatbehave, A CHEF-CRAFED AND LOW SUGAR CANDY BRAND THAT’S ALL ABOUT INDULGENCE. BEHAVE 2.0 IS DROPPING NEXT WEEK AND THEIR LAUNCH PARTY IS AT POP UP GROCER FT. BODY, GHIA, AND LALO. READY, STEADY, GUMMY!🐻
