Treat your locks to a treatment at Mario Russo’s brand-new location.

Snuggle up with one of the new festive patterns from ChappyWrap
BUNDLE It’s no secret that New England winters are brutal. With this in mind, warm up this season under a plush ChappyWrap (chappywrap.com), available in a variety of fun patterns and colors—from cute and colorful mini, midi and origina-lsized blankets. “ChappyWrap was inspired by a beloved family blanket that was passed down through generations in our family,” says President Christina Livada, who works alongside her mother, Beth Haller LaSala, founder of ChappyWrap. “Everything out there lacked the quality of the original—so we decided to create our own.” This season, shop the brand’s classic holiday-themed styles, featuring favorites like like Highlander Classic, Buffalo Check Red, Winter Wonderland Gray and more.

PAMPER Dr. Soo-Young Kang was shuffling through her beauty bag on a trip abroad when she found that most of her cosmetics and skincare had been expired for months—if not years. To combat the issue of quick-to-expire products, she and her team of acclaimed dermatologists created a solution: LightWater skincare (lightwaterskin.com), a line of daily-dose skincare packed with pure, clean actives. “Most consumers are keeping and using a bottle or jar of face moisturizer for many weeks, and that’s after months of a long supply chain from manufacturing to distribution to retail shelves,” explains Kang. “Most active ingredients in those products are degrading over time, especially upon exposure to light, UV, air and touch.” Every four weeks, clients can expect fresh, preservative-free products to their doors—promising a glistening glow for months to come.

Perfect for gift-giving and beyond, the shop also offers liquid lipsticks in an abundance of shades. For a taste of it all, look to the brand’s exclusive gift set made in collaboration with artist Laila Gohar. Filled with trinkets and candles, it’s bound to impress.
