The Next Installment of: 4 Things Chic, Conscious Consumers Are Loving

Welcome back to our favorite recurring segment—the curated syllabus for living life at the intersection of indulgence and intention. This week’s obsessions? They’re less about having and more about heightening. From fragrance-filled chores to gleaming wristwear, here’s what Chic, Conscious Consumers (CCC’s, if you’re in the know) are romanticizing, rethinking, and reaching for…

Let’s Digest!

1. Tyler Glamour Wash Laundry Detergent

“Romanticize your life”—one of the few internet tropes that actually delivers. It’s not toxic positivity, it’s aesthetic optimism. It invites us to see the mundane not as a burden but as a mood—a soft-filtered moment worth savoring. It’s the mindset shift from looking at tasks a something we have to do… to something we get to do.

Take laundry, for example. Chic, Conscious Consumers know that the difference between drudgery and delight is often scent—and the Tyler Glamour Wash brings the delight. One rinse in this and suddenly your towels smell like luxury hotel linens in Paris. Laundry day becomes a ritual, not a chore. It’s no longer a box to check but a luxury experience, like opening the dishwasher and letting the steam brace your face like a facial.

2. The Return of Silver

Gold had a chokehold on 2024, between the TikTok stacks and the gilded everything, it reigned supreme. But as with most things in fashion (and economics), the pendulum always swings. And silver? Silver is quietly back in the ring.

This isn’t just a style shift—it’s an economic one. With inflation, rising gold prices, and tariffs hitting imports, silver is starting to make a lot more sense. It’s the more accessible metal, not just in price but in availability—especially when shopping secondhand or vintage. Chic, Conscious Consumers know that a return to silver isn’t just about taste… it’s about strategy.

We’re seeing it beyond jewelry, too: appliances, flatware, kitchen gadgets, tech. Matching gold hardware in your home is a design headache; silver blends. And if you’re trying to make a statement with limited garment options? Bold silver pieces— think Elsa Peretti cuffs, Cartier tanks— they’ll do all the heavy lifting.

Maybe people are spending less on clothes. Maybe everyone’s dressing simpler. But CCCs know the key to keeping it chic is one sculptural piece of metal that excites the eye.

3. Moka Pots (a.k.a. The $20 Espresso Machine)

As seen on April’s Menu and now in my kitchen, the Moka pot is proof that you don’t need a $900 contraption to live a caffeine-forward life.

I love this option for something a little more luxe!

Known globally as a Moka Pot or Greca or Cafetera this humble stovetop miracle is a global staple and CCCs are loving it. Not just for its price point (mine was $20 at C-Town), but for what it represents: a shift from passive consumption to intentional creation. Many “C.C.C’s” live by the mantra, “creation over consumption”, meaning they seek to exchange moments of consumption ie. getting coffee with moments of creation ie. making coffee. Trading UberEats lattes for a home brewed ritual.

The pot whistles. The crema forms. You’ve crafted something.

4. Hypochlorous Acid

Now… if you’re reading this I’m sure you know of hypochlorous acid — an acne fighting spray made popular by Tower28. You probably have some in your gym bag, your work bag, your travel toiletry kit… you spray your face with it at any sign of overwhelming smoggy polluted air. But have you ever thought of cleaning with it? hypochlorous Acid has been shown to be more than 100 times more effective at much lower concentrations than bleach… yes bleach. Considering its more mild manor and smell, hypochlorous acid is a clear choice for “Chic,Conscious Consumers”.

Thanks for consuming!
