'Of all the large-scale workout equipment I could buy for what I’m hoping is a temporary home gym, this was by far the most affordable and the most conducive to New York apartment living'
Photo-Illustration: Retailers If you follow our biweekly feature Your Shopping Cart, you know that we have some eerily good intel on what you all are buying. Which led us to think that as Strategist editors, we could turn the tables and highlight all the things we’ve been buying for ourselves. As you’ll notice, it’s both a blessing and a curse to be a Strategist editor; we’re picky, but sometimes we just have to get on with it. Below, what we all bought in April.
From $12 at Amazon Buy From $12 at Amazon Buy Light Years by James Salter $16 Photo: reatailer I’m quarantining in my hometown and my local bookstore R.J. Julia is doing curbside pickup. After tearing through Marjorie Morningstar, which involves Borscht Belt romances and the Upper West Side in the 1930s, I picked up Light Years by James Salter, which was recommended to me by two friends, one of whom said, convincingly, “You’ll want to live life inside of there.
$13 at Amazon Buy $13 at Walmart Buy Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine $60 Like just about everyone, my son has started having nightmares lately. He’s been getting out of bed at all hours and trying to begin our days at 4:30 a.m., which needed to stop. This color-changing night-light hasn’t been delivered to us yet, but I’m heartened by everything I hear about the “time-to-rise” function.
$22 at Amazon Buy $22 at Amazon Buy Old Navy High-Waisted Elevate Powersoft 7/8-Length Side-Pocket Leggings $37 $40 now 8% off $37 While perusing Old Navy, I stumbled upon these leggings with pockets . I am so in love with them, and have been wearing them to “work” as well as on my semi-regular weekend runs. The deep teal color is very pleasing to me.
$329 at Crate and Barrel Buy $329 at Wayfair Buy Y7 Online Studio $16 Before we were forced into self-isolation, I was going to Y7 about three times a week for my fix of hot Vinyasa yoga set to hip-hop . I’ve missed it a lot. None of the other online yoga classes and subscriptions I tried got my heart-pumping quite like Y7. So I nearly jumped out of my chair when I got the email earlier this month that Y7 Online launched.
$40 at eBay Buy Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Seasonal Hook and Loop Low Top $35 One of the things you might forget when you pack up a bunch of clothes and flee your home to get a little childcare help during a worldwide pandemic is an extra pair of shoes for that child. But it did give us a good excuse to buy these.
Hawthorne Valley Farm Jalapeño Sauerkraut $10 $10 After talking to a bunch of chefs about their go-to shelf-stable foods, I had tinned and jarred foods on the brain. Luckily, my local fish store, Mermaid’s Garden, has plenty of appealing options — last weekend I picked up a jar of jalapeño sauerkraut and plan to take Danny Bowien’s advice and eat it with some canned tuna and rice.
$55 at Flat File Buy Malin + Goetz Body Wash, Rum $36 $36 I’m addicted to the scent of this natural body wash. In fact, in a cultural moment where it’s easier than ever not to shower, it’s about the only thing convincing me to hop in every morning. After a couple go-arounds testing the product out with the smaller, more affordable sizes, April was the month I finally took the plunge and ordered the 16-ounce bottle.
