Evie Writers Share The Best Investment They've Ever Made

Personal recommendations are the cream of the crop when it comes to product reviews. When you know your friend loved it, chances are you will love it too. But unlike makeup or skincare products, which are often very personal and individual, these products could benefit anyone and everyone.

Evie's product selections are curated by the editorial team. If you buy something through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission, at no cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely love.

Goplus 2 in 1 Folding Treadmill, $296

“Hands down, the best investment I’ve ever made is my under-the-desk treadmill that I use for work every day. I love it so much that I've purchased two at this point. They were both around $300 each, which seems like a lot, but since I use it every day, all day so I can walk while I work, it's well worth the investment. Keeping my body moving makes me feel energized (I notice a huge difference if I sit down to work), helps me get in a workout, and somehow makes me much more productive and creative too. Needless to say, I'm obsessed.” - Anna Hartman, Managing Editor

Vitamix, $350

“For me, it'd be my Vitamix. No other blender compares. It blends everything super easily – everything comes out perfectly smooth. The Vitamix makes juicing and smoothie-making so simple, which was very helpful to have while I was building healthier habits. I got it for just under $300, but I'll never need another blender!” - Luna Salinas, Contributing Writer

Mason Pearson Hairbrush, $140

“The best investment I’ve ever made is my Mason Pearson hairbrush. For background, I am such a penny-pincher, so my husband was really surprised when I asked for a $100+ hairbrush as my only Christmas present back in 2021. However, I had done my research and decided that it was time to throw away my cheap, damaging hairbrushes and find one that actually worked. I have now used my Mason Pearson hairbrush every day for more than two years, and it’s still going strong. The brushes are manufactured by a family-owned company based in the UK, so that’s cool, too. British actress Jane Seymour is a big proponent of Mason Pearson hairbrushes, and at 70+, she’s got the kind of hair that would make even 20-somethings jealous.” - Evie Solheim, Contributing Writer

Kitchen Mama Auto Electric Can Opener, $35

“Opening cans went from being a huge deterrent from cooking at home to a real breeze. One press of the button, and the top is removed for you. My interest in cooking new recipes at home has skyrocketed because I no longer have to fight a broken-down, old can opener. This one is well worth the money!” - Jillian Schroeder, Contributing Writer

Noom, $180

“Investing in Noom has been the greatest use of my money! At $180 you can establish healthier habits and mindful eating that will truly last. Noom helped me a lot (before 28 launched, obviously) to attain health goals and balanced weight management in rebuilding my health while dealing with an autoimmune disease. If one of your goals is to practice healthier living, Noom could be perfect for you.” - Anna Hugoboom, Contributing Writer

Taylor Digital Kitchen Scale, $24

“I use this food scale regularly for baking. A lot of my favorite gluten-free recipes are written in grams/weight instead of volume, so this makes it possible to use those recipes. My husband also uses it everyday to measure his macros for his fitness training and nutrition. If you’re someone who loves cooking or baking, I’d invest in this kitchen scale.” - Paula Gallagher, Senior Editor

Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro Air Oven, $330

“This bad boy is like a convection oven on steroids. With over 10 settings, there is practically nothing this thing can't do! It only takes around 60 seconds to preheat, so I love using it to bake bread quickly. I purchased this Ninja Foodi one over others because the controls are on the handle, making the oven space larger – you can even fit a whole chicken in it!” - Rachel Squier, Social Media Manager

Beckham Hotel Collection Pillows, $59

“We went through a season where we refreshed all of our bedding, and this was such a good investment! These pillows are made in America, affordable, and the perfect combination of firm and soft. Even my children fight over them!” - Carmen Schober, News Writer

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, $35

“This incredible facial product helped brighten my dull skin, get rid of bumps, and improved my complexion. I use it twice a week. One of my friends also got me into Olehenriksen Banana Bright + Vitamin C Eye Cream. She took a before picture of her dark circles and showed me the after image she took a week later. There was a big difference already!” - Nicole Dominique, News Writer

Third Love Classic T-Shirt Bra, $72

“I’m convinced that these bras are truly the best-fitting and most comfortable ones that exist. And trust me, a good bra is a very solid investment. Before finding these, I spent so much time and money trying bras from tons of brands, but nothing worked. Straps would fall off the shoulder, or the cups would gape, or there’d be too much padding. But Third Love bras are different. I’ve told so many friends about this brand, and women with chests of all sizes rave about it. They even have an online quiz so you can find your perfect style and size. (Side note: another reason to support this brand is because Third Love donates gently worn, second-hand bras to women in need.)” - Caitlin Shaw, Contributing Writer
