Poppi Founder Allison Ellsworth on the Underrated Products She Swears By

Skimm Her Life is a series in our weekly newsletter, Skimm Shopping, where smart women share their favorite things.

Allison Ellsworth, the creator of our go-to emotional support beverage, Poppi, is here to Skimm Her Life. Both Allison and her brand are internet sensations. Check out Poppi’s limited-edition holiday flavor here. Now, Allison, share all the good stuff with us…

Smartest purchase you’ve made recently?

I just got the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and I’m obsessed. It records in 4K, has impeccable sound quality, and it’s super small for filming on the go. I used it on a content trip to Montreal where we recently launched Poppi.

Favorite surprisingly useful item under $25?

I cannot live without the StickyGrippy. I buy two and place them back-to-back so you can remove the extra when needed.

What three items do you always have in your bag?

I have every color of Tower28 LipSoftie Lip Treatment, and usually have at least two in my bag. I love how Touchland disrupted the personal-care industry — their sanitizing mist is a must-have for myself and my kids. And of course, I must have sunglasses.

Your necessary essentials for a day at the office?

Obviously, I need Poppi. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite flavor, but I’ve been into Grape lately. I love my Baggu Puffy Laptop Sleeve, and I often burn this Preston Lane Highrise Candle at both my home office and Poppi HQ.

An underrated product you swear by?

I love Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer. I wear several shades year-round and they have the cutest holiday gift sets. I’ve also gotten so many hooked on the Cocokind Oil to Milk Cleanser. It removes makeup without taking your skin’s moisture with it. And it’s under $20!

Your go-to Poppi recipe?

Cranberry Fizz with Austin’s own Tito’s Vodka and fresh lime. Cranberry Fizz is our limited-edition holiday flavor. When it’s gone, I swap in Ginger Lime to make our version of a mule.

The best snack to pair with a Poppi?

I absolutely love Hal’s Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips. I’m gluten-free, so sometimes I miss out on the good snacks. I could eat these every day.
