Modern Essentials Box

With waterproof fabric, a squared-off silhouette, and a closure flap that snaps shut to keep your gear protected, this Rains Backpack Mini makes functional look intentional. Inside, you’ve got enough room for a 13” laptop. Outside you get proof that utility can look good. This backpack is like an insurance policy against bad weather–and bad style.

If a body wash puts “perfect” in the name, it better deliver. MARO17 does, with a dense, foamy lather that cleans deep, hydrates harder, and leaves your skin feeling refreshed. Ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and a citrus-marine scent seal the deal to ensure that perfect isn’t hyperbole; it’s a guarantee.  

You want pits that don’t stink, shirts that don’t stain, and no weird chemicals. Most “natural” sticks tap out early, but St John’s Bay Rum Deodorant’s got you covered. Aluminum-free, paraben-free, and backed by an odor-free guarantee. We definitely love the smell, er, sound of that.

Rain happens. Looking like you fought your umbrella in the wind doesn’t have to, though. Built with an award-winning windproof frame and a canopy designed to shed water fast, the Repel Travel Umbrella is compact, stylish, and guaranteed to weather any storm.

Finally, face wash without the drama. It foams up light, clears out dirt, wipes out sweat, and keeps your skin refreshed. No fragrance, no sulfates, no stripped-down feeling like your face is being repossessed for parts–just a formula that does the job and lets you get on your way. 

At some point in every man’s journey, socks stop being an afterthought and start becoming a thing you care about. That’s where these Plus Ultra Half Cushion Crew Lengths come in. Ribbed and understated on the outside, cushioned and ventilated on the inside, this is a pair you’ll love pulling on.

This mud mask is like PTO for your face. After a long week of facing the elements, sweaty workouts, or even city grime, your pores need a break–and that’s where the Ahava Purifying Mud Mask steps in. Dead Sea mud and kaolin clay to clear buildup, skin-loving ingredients to calm and hydrate. Three minutes on, rinse, and you’re on your way to refresh.

How to use it: Apply, leave on for three minutes, then rinse.

You know that softly tousled hair that looks like zero effort went into it? That’s the cream. Even better: it lives up to the effortless billing. It softens, adds shine, and smooths out frizz without a greasy, weighed-down feeling or that dreaded, overly stiff crunchiness. Bonus: it’s vegan and paraben-free.

Toner doesn’t get the hype, but it’s the step that makes the rest of your routine pull double duty. Packed with Black Winter Truffle, Witch Hazel and cucumber extract, this toner clears residue, calms irritation and refreshes your face in one swipe. It’s the underdog of skincare and it’s time you add it to your skincare lineup.
