Sasheer Zamata’s 8 Favorite Things 2024

If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what celebrities add to their shopping carts daily, like lacquer or a electric toothbrush. Return 2020, we chatted with actress Sasheer Zamata about the hoop and sandals she can’t live without. Four years later, we asked Zamata – who recently starred in Agatha throughout – to revisit her list, and it turns out she’s still using some of it, alongside a few new favorites.

I don’t remember when I started wearing Tevas, but they quickly became my favorite comfortable shoes. They just broadcast. I have three pairs. They also provide good arch support, and I need them because I have high arches. I branched out to get “more refined” Tevas. They have satin ones that are a little wrinkled, which is so funny because they always look like Tevas. These are good running shoes and great for walking.

It always works, it always cleans my ass. It has arrived in several homes. So yeah, the durability is pretty impressive. I didn’t need to replace it or buy another one at all. That always gives me a boost.

(Editor’s Note: The exact Zamata bidet attachment is no longer available, but it is a similar option from the same brand.)

It’s still my favorite for spending time on the couch. I’m really impressed with how long this lasted, and it’s the same. He didn’t loot or anything. The quality is always excellent. It lasted many washes. It always keeps me warm. It’s still very comfortable. I like it to be brown because if I spill snacks on it or put makeup on it, you won’t know for a while.

I still love this brand. I got more jumpsuits and tops. I love the architecture of the clothes and the fact that you can make yourself a jumpsuit because you can tie it in a way that fits your body. I love a jumpsuit because it’s just one piece. My most recent purchase was the Elizabeth top, which I get so many compliments on and goes with so many different colors.

The hairstylist who created it did my hair when I was in New York and I trust her taste. I was able to use some of them when she was creating the line, and I was like: Oh, that feels good. I’ve been using products on my hair and body that don’t have tons of chemicals, and you can feel the difference. Her products are just a few ingredients and it feels good to my scalp. I love the mint tingle. I also like the bar because I feel like I don’t waste a lot. When it comes to liquid coming out of a bottle, I can squeeze out too much and use it pretty quickly, but with a bar you just use what you need. One bar lasts me a year. To be honest, I have so little hair.

I love it because it’s really hydrating. I feel like my face absorbs moisture as I apply it, so not only does it protect me from the sun, but I don’t dry out either. I had no problems. I actually tried other sunscreens recently and got a little burned and was surprised. I was like, Ah, interesting. This just reinforces the fact that when I use Black Girl sunscreen, it works. It really protects me.

I try to help the environment. Try to waste less, not just have things thrown away immediately. Dish sponges are things we use all the time, and it’s so easy to buy one at the store that you’ll have to throw away in a few weeks because they disintegrate and go bad, or they just accumulate a lot of bacteria. I love these reusable sponges because they last so long. Every time I wash my dishes in my dishwasher, I throw them in to be pressure washed. Hopefully this is a small change that will be good for our planet.

I’m in constant pain because I’m approaching 40 and my body is aging, so it’s great to be able to get a quick massage without going to a masseuse or chiropractor. I love doing this too, but it’s nice to be able to do it myself at home. There are different settings and accessories, so the sensation is different depending on the muscles. It feels good on my shoulders where I also hold all my stress. I highly recommend them to anyone who feels the need to free themselves.
