Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

As soon as I found myself back in the Pacific Northwest after living in New York City for a year, I noticed I've been spending all my extra time in the great outdoors. While I'm notoriously an indoors person (unless there's a beach and a coconut with an umbrella involved), lately I've been rediscovering the side of myself that loves to drift in and out of farmers market booths, repot blooming gardenias, and learn as much as I can about the benefits of certain botanicals. One of the ways I'm incorporated the latter into my everyday routine is by favoring skincare and bodycare powered by the benefits of flora. I've noticed a huge glow-up in my lifestyle, and my vanity is looking pretty cute too.

Below, I'm sharing 30 of my favorite products that have made my wish list and ended up being some of my most highly recommended beauty finds. Keep scrolling to see which ones keep catching my eye and make me want to lean into my inner Ina Garten and Meghan Markle.
