What Chelsea Handler Can’t Live Without

“My Canada Dry is very special to me,” Chelsea Handler told us. She makes sure the zero-sugar ginger ale is stocked in her hotel room whenever she travels. Served “iced cold,” it just gives her “a little extra pep … It’s my treat.” Also on her list of things she can’t live without: super greens gummies (that are surprisingly not weed gummies), the Alo leggings that “just suck you in,” and her gin of choice.

For Jeans Month, Jordan McMahon wrote about his hunt for jeans that fit his “hockey butt.” And contributor Zoe Papelis told us about everything she uses to refresh her fine, wavy hair without washing it.

A Big List of Best-in-Class Updates

Our writers continually update our best-in-class stories to make sure the products featured are, well, best in class. Here are a few new additions:

Do not fear a wet-to-dry straightener. Dominique Pariso finally tried the Dyson Airstrait and said it dried and straightened her entire head of hair in about 15 minutes.
Brenley Goertzen likes the Ninja DoubleStack air fryer because “it can actually cook more food, like two different dishes in each basket, thanks to the stacked meal racks.”
Going away soon? Jordan McMahon named the Kobo Clara BW the best travel-friendly e-reader.
If you’re looking for a new conditioner for fine and thinning hair, try out Davines Replumping Conditioner.
