Stuff the iPhone Life Team Is Loving

Ekster Parliament + Tracker Wallet ($119) This sleek and sturdy wallet is an upgrade for me. The trigger at the bottom releases six of my cards with one click, making it easier and faster to grab what I need. Its solar-powered rechargeable tracker has helped me find my wallet (and my phone!) during many morning rushes.

YnM Weighted Blanket ($89.90) I couldn't live without my weighted blanket from the YnM shop on Amazon. This heavy blanket helps with my anxiety, plus there's nothing better than wrapping up with it and a hot cup of coffee. I love that the blanket isn't too warm and that it fits my queen-sized duvet cover.

Case-Mate Karat Petals iPhone Case ($50) I've been a big fan of Case-Mate's line of protective cases for a while now, but my current favorite is the Case-Mate Karat Petals, which features dried flower petals set in the back of the case. It's really beautiful!

Anton Pieck Illustrations My girls and I recently dove into the world of Dutch painter and illustrator Anton Pieck and have enjoyed getting lost in his work. Pieck's images are hypnotically intricate; our favorites so far are the urban scenes and the fairy tale characters, especially gnomes.

iPhone 8 Plus (Starting at $649) When I interviewed for a job at iPhone Life, I was afraid it was over when I told them I was an Android user. Being an avid photographer, it was the dual camera features of the iPhone 8 Plus that finally got me to switch over.

Factfulness by Hans Rosling This is my number one book recommendation right now. It has improved my thinking and ability to see things clearly and has reminded me of the progress the world has made in the last several decades. For example, I learned that the number of people living in extreme poverty around the globe has decreased by over 50 percent in the last 30 years.
