Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked cool person Eileen Kelly to share some recommendations on Perfectly Imperfect.

Eileen Kelly is a writer, sex educator, social media darling, and all-around really cool person. She’s the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Killer and A Sweet Thang, a platform and resource for young people to learn about sex, love, health, identity, and being online. And she’s the host of Going Mental, a podcast about mental health where she talks to a wide range of people such as Ali Michael, Kilo Kish, Vic Mensa, Madison Beer, Caroline Calloway, and even Michael Cohen. Eileen has great taste and lucky for us, she’s here to tell us what she’s been into.

πŸ’† Aesthetics by Mirelle

She is my best hidden secret in NYC for facials and waxing. I've followed her to three locations now. I take my skin very seriously and have gone to many different salons and facialists, including some of the fanciest ones, and no one compares to my girl. I love that she is a one-woman show. She's Hungarian and brings many of her products back from Europe, peels and things you can't get in the US. She only uses hard organic beeswax which I love. She keeps me blemish free and fresh faced.

πŸͺ‘ Chairish

When I was younger, I wanted to be an interior designer. I even studied at Parsons for Interior Design in the summers while in high school. While I left that career choice behind, one my favorite hobbies is decorating my own home. Most of my furniture is second hand from places like Chairish or Etsy. I love finding cheap pieces and reupholstering them if I need to. I moved into my new apartment during covid and repainted the entire thing. I painted the bathrooms, my bedroom, and even my kitchen cabinets. I feel like making it a home is very important to me even though it's a rental!

πŸ‘œ πŸ‘• πŸ‘— Local Vintage Stores When Traveling

I buy most of my clothing second hand. I love designer vintage clothing. I'm very into the 80s right now. I try to visit local vintage stores when I'm traveling, even if it's the local goodwill on a road trip. I'm kind of a hoarder.. I'm embarrassed by how many clothes I have and it's hard for me to get rid of them. Saying that, I can tell you where I got each piece and each one usually has a memory attached to it. Vintage shopping in Rome has got to be my favorite, you can get some awesome deals and I'm obsessed with Italian fashion. I love animal print, feathers, and sequin.

πŸ«– Electric Tea Kettle

I am obsessed with my electric tea kettle. I even got rid of my stove top one. I am a tea drinker, not a coffee girl. I usually like an english black tea (tetleys) with a splash of whole milk in the morning. I love being able to just press a button and go about my routine and the water heats up so much faster than a traditional kettle and turns off automatically. This is my favorite kitchen gadget.

πŸ•―οΈ Wary Meyers candles

Family owned candle and soap shop in Maine. I probably have 20 of their candles. My favorites are Mainely Manly which smells like woodsmoke and Forest Primeval which smells like an evergreen forest. I love woody, smokey scents. They make a space feel so inviting and sexy.
