We caught up with actress, author and podcaster Busy Philipps ahead of the premiere of her new late-night series Busy This Week, streaming Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on QVC+ and HSN+.

"We are not actively selling things on the air, but we are having chats with fun people and doing fun things and having a little treat at the end of the night before you go to bed," Busy teased to Good Housekeeping of the show's premise.

As for how Busy treats herself, the mom-of-two revealed to us her beauty must-haves and the snacks she always needs on hand. Hint: Chocolate is involved.

$38 at QVC

What's the one thing Busy can't travel without? These lightweight hair towels that are perfectly compact. "I don't love using hair dryers," she admits. "And when you stay in hotels, the towels are so giant, and you need to just be able to wrap your hair up. These are small and they travel so easily."

"What am I putting on my face today? Always sunscreen," Busy says. "I am very committed to a daily SPF. I love IT Cosmetics CC Cream. Sometimes I mix it with sunscreen just to make it a little bit more sheer."

On Busy's Grocery List

"One thing that is always on our family's grocery shopping list, aside from the basics like eggs, milk, sugar, butter, salt — everything that Sara Bareilles needs to make a pie — other than those, honestly, always Nutella," Busy says. M&M's are another of Busy's favorite treats, but "plain or peanut only." They're classics for a reason!
