Emily Mariko's Must-Have Products, From Diptyque to Linen Sheets

Mariko does not go a day without her trusted lip balm, the Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment ($5). "It's a comfort thing. I've repurchased since I was 12 years old, and it's just the one product that's stayed consistent in my beauty routine for years," she says.

The sensitive skin-friendly lip balm contains conditioning ingredients like shea butter; vitamins C, E, and B5; and calming chamomile essence. It also leaves a subtle glossy finish for a healthier-looking lip.

Pro Tip: Mariko mainly uses it on her lips, but she also uses it around her nose when she has a cold or on a dry patch around her eyes.

"I drink a lot of water, and I've tried a lot of water. I've tried electrolyte water and pH water, and my favorite is spring water because you get the natural minerals every time you drink it," Mariko says. The Mountain Valley Spring Water (12 Pack) ($29) is her favorite taste-wise, and she loves that it comes in a glass bottle. It's naturally found in a spring in Ouachita and filtered through granite-based aquifers. It's rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Pro Tip: You can order this water for home delivery in 2.5-5 gallons glass jugs, along with dispensers. You can even set up a recurring schedule for a full-service delivery.

Mariko loves Diptyque fragrances and prefers summery scents that are either sweet or boast a breezy vibe reminiscent of the ocean. Her current favorite scent for the morning is the Diptyque Oyedo Eau de Toilette ($180).

"This one is supposed to be yuzu, but to me, it smells like grape candy. It's really energizing and sweet, and it puts a smile on my face every time I spray it," she says. Other than yuzu, it has notes of green tangerine, thyme, and raspberry. "I find it very energizing, and it's a good morning fragrance versus a date night fragrance or something more calming at night. It'll get you up out of bed and get you ready for the day."

Pro Tip: To make fragrances last longer, apply it on your pulse points and moisturize those areas.

Mariko loves the comforting and soft feel of her Serena & Lily Positano Linen Sheet Set ($298, originally $398). "I really love the texture of linen. Sometimes, linen can be a little crunchy, but these sheets I found get softer and softer with every wash," she says.

These durable linen sheets are made from flax, and they're also thermoregulating. She points out that linen sheets can be a hit or a miss but notes that the ones from Serena & Lily do not shed and get better over time. The sheets come in two colors, white and sky blue, in sizes ranging from twin to California king.

Pro Tip: It's best to machine wash these sheets in a cold, gentle cycle and tumble dry on low.

Mariko depends on her Tumi International Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-On ($750) for all her travel needs, including fitting about a week's worth of clothes.

"This is the first suitcase that I've found with this interesting closing mechanism. It has two buckles or clasps that close the two halves together instead of a zipper, and that makes a huge difference in terms of how much you can stuff this thing," she says. This suitcase also features a zipper expansion, four spinner wheels, and a built-in USB port.

Pro Tip: Mariko loves traveling with compression socks to make her journey more comfortable.
