The cold months may forced us to hibernate, but this summer has us sticking close to home voluntarily to soak up the sweet comforts provided by these living essentials. —Karen Kwan
let the music play. With the ability to recognize up to six voices (so it can tailor your music and your daily schedule) and a built-in sensor for the best performance possible, the Google Home Max ($499) serves up impeccable sound so you can enjoy summer jams all season long (while also being more organized and efficient than ever with the help of the assistant).
smoothies all summer long. Upping our salsa, cold-soup and smoothie game is the Vitamix E310 Explorian Series blender ($450)—the most budget-friendly of this gold-standard brand. With 10 different speeds and simple clean up, this mixer will give you more time to enjoy those hot summer nights.
love you a latte. Practise your own latte-art masterpieces (and drink delicious caffeinated bevvies) with the Nespresso Lattissima One ($449), which froths the milk for you right in your cup. Paired with limited-edition Ispirazione Shakerato and Ispirazione Salentina on-ice capsules, consider your cold-caffeine needs sorted for the next heat wave.
good vibes only. Throwing open your windows for a breath of fresh air when that air is full of fine pollutants is a sure way to kill your vibe. The Dyson Pure Cool HEPA Air Purifier and Fan Tower ($650) cleans up the air even better than Olivia Pope cleans up a scandal (and, bonus, it’ll keep you cool when the mercury rises).
cook out. Maybe it was the Starbucks sous-vide egg bites that turned you onto this method of cooking but, with the Anova Precision Cooker (and your smartphone), you can up your game of so many dishes. Think of super-juicy, flavourful steaks that you finish on the barbecue. Your squad will dub you queen of the grill.
