Current Obsessions - Volume 02

Current Obsessions is our recurring feature where you'll get an inside look into what Alder New York's Chief Creative Officer David Krause and CEO Nina Zilka are currently obsessing over.

1 DK: I found this amazing beige-green nail polish from Seas by Merewif - it's the perfect new neutral.

2 DK: I binged the show Hacks on HBO Max last month and I still can't stop thinking about how good it was. I can't wait for the second season!

3 DK: I love collecting vintage bandanas. They instantly make any look complete. Nothing takes a plain t-shirt and shorts from blah to ta-dah better than a bandana.

4 DK: Our Cleansing Body Bar has been shockingly nourishing, leaving my skin super soft even with my recent warm weather twice-a-day showers.

5 NZ: I can't help it- I love a trend, so of course right now I love terrazzo everything. I just learned how to apply terrazzo nail stickers and actually get them to stay on for quite a few days, and I am obsessed. It's like freckles for your fingertips.

6 NZ: No one moves to NYC for the weather and this summer already feels like diving into a swamp anytime I step outside. The only thing keeping my skin in check is Alder New York's oil-free Everyday Face Serum, which keeps my skin clear and just the right amount of dewy during peak humidity.

7 NZ: I'm always eyeing the latest goods at Superior Merchandise in Troy, NY. From Phasey Period Chocolates, to hand-dyed tie dye socks, to sesame bagels with chili garlic sesame cream cheese, they nail the general-store-that-has-everything-you'd-ever-want vibe. Oh, and of course they have your Alder New York skincare needs covered as well.

8 NZ: There are no funnier two comedians than Jaqueline Novak and Kate Berlant, so when they launched their podcast Poog - that's Goop spelled backwards- I literally screamed with excitement. They talk all things skincare, wellness, and the metaphysical. I can't get enough of their rambling, surrealist, spot-on points of view.
