42 Little Gifts To Treat Yourself To If It Hasn't Been Your Day, Your Week, Your Month, Or Even Your Year

A satin pillowcase that'll reduce friction between your hair/skin and your pillow (which will reduce frizz and breakouts and keep you lookin' in tip-top shape). Not to mention it'll feel silky smooth against your cheeks when you hit the hay.
Bow-shaped hair clips that'll make even your worst hair days feel a bit more aesthetic — they're so strong you'll find yourself bowing down to their greatness.

More importantly, you won't need to keep a stash of matches on hand *and* your fave candle will last basically forever since it won't actually be burning down when you pair it with this gadget.
A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club," I mean your kitchen, and by "us," I mean myself (I'm reserving for my annual viewing of Titanic). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything you throw in it at record speed. Chop, chop!
Julep Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick for anyone who has always wanted to make shimmery eyeshadow their *thing* but has never been able to apply it without the glitter getting all over their face. This stick is fantastic as it glides on like a cream but dries as a powder.

A silly windshield shade that'll keep your car cool while making it look like all four of the Golden Girls are cruising around — want to place bets that they're headed to pick up a cheesecake???
A pair of wireless sleep headphones, because we're basically living in the future — you can listen to music, a podcast, or your go-to comfort show (helloooo endless hours of Gilmore Girls) to help you fall asleep without fruitlessly attempting to get cozy with earbuds bulging out of your ears.
Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque, which will feel more like a science experiment than a beauty product — the results will have you absolutely baffled!

An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you'll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it into the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs) then pour the cubes directly into your drink! It's leakproof and dishwasher safe.

Leonardo DiCaprio Reveals His Biggest Career 'Regret' Is Turning Down This Mark Wahlberg Movie: 'A Masterpiece'
"It was a profound movie of my generation," the actor saidNEED TO KNOW Leonardo DiCaprio admitted his "regret" over turning down Mark Wahlberg's role in Boogie Nights in a new interview with Paul Thomas Anderson for Esquire "It was a profound movie of my generation," he said, calling the film "a masterpiece" DiCaprio's Basketball Diaries costar Wahlberg went on to land the part of Eddie Adams/Dirk Diggler, and DiCaprio said he "can't imagine anyone [else]" nowLeonardo DiCaprio "can't imagine anyone but" Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights, but he still regrets not starring in the classic film. Wahlberg, 54, famously played Eddie Adams/Dirk Diggler in the 1997 Paul Thomas Anderson film, but the part was originally offered to DiCaprio, 50, who turned it down as he had already signed on to star in James Cameron's epic Titanic. But in a new interview with Anderson for Esquire's Mavericks of Hollywood issue ahead of the release of their movie One Battle After Another, DiCaprio told the director, 55, "I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights." "It was a profound movie of my generation," he continued. "I can't imagine anyone but Mark in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece. It's ironic that you're the person asking that question, but it's true." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human-interest stories. Boogie Nights takes place in the 1970s and follows Wahlberg's Eddie, a teenage nightclub dishwasher, after he is discovered by filmmaker Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) and becomes a wildly successful porn star named Dirk Diggler. The movie also starred Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy and Philip Seymour Hoffman. As for Wahlberg and DiCaprio, the two worked together both before and after Boogie Nights: in The Basketball Diaries (1995) and The Departed (2006). Wahlberg opened up about the pair's rocky start before filming The Basketball Diaries in a 2018 interview with Extra, admitting they "both had a specific opinion about each other" initially. 'Once I finally got to the point where I was able to audition and read with [DiCaprio], then we just both kinda looked at each other, we were like, 'Wow!' We were literally out that night and we became fast friends," he added. DiCaprio and Anderson finally get to team up with One Battle After Another, which stars the Oscar winner as Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary figure who is being hunted by Sean Penn's police character, Steven Lockjaw. Written and directed by Anderson, the action-thriller also stars Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, Regina Hall, Benicio del Toro and Chase Infiniti. Related: In his chat with Anderson for Esquire, DiCaprio addressed how One Battle After Another "has been on" the director's "desk for a long time," adding, "It was a personal story for you in a lot of ways and certainly pertinent to the world that we're living in right now." "But ultimately, wanting to do this movie was pretty simple: I've been wanting to work with you — Paul — for something like 20 years now," DiCaprio continued, "and I loved this idea of the washed-up revolutionary trying to erase his past and disappear and try and live some sort of normal life raising his daughter. One Battle After Another is in theaters Sept. 26. Read the original article on People

Leonardo DiCaprio tells Paul Thomas Anderson that turning down 'Boogie Nights 'is his biggest regret
Mark Wahlberg famously led the film that is largely regarded as one of Anderson's best works. It's been almost 30 years since Paul Thomas Anderson released his disco-era porn fantasia Boogie Nights, and Leonardo DiCaprio still can't get over not being part of it. In a new interview for Esquire, the 50-year-old Oscar winner admits to the prolific director that he still regrets turning down the film set and shot in the Valley, where the adult-film industry took root. When asked by Anderson — who interviewed DiCaprio for the outlet while promoting their upcoming film, One Battle After Another — if he has any regrets over his 35+ years in the entertainment industry, the actor doesn't hold back his truth "even though you're here." "My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights. It was a profound movie of my generation," DiCaprio responded. "I can't imagine anyone but Mark [Wahlberg] in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece." He added, "It's ironic that you're the person asking that question, but it's true." Wahlberg played porn star Dirk Diggler in Anderson's 1997 film, which earned him a Screen Actors Guild nomination for best ensemble alongside Burt Reynolds and Julianne Moore. The actor's role in Boogie Nights remains a formative part of Wahlberg's acting career, as it essentially put him on the map in the industry when he transitioned into acting after his rap career. It isn't the first time DiCaprio has revealed this particular regret, but it's the first time he's told Anderson that to his face. In an interview back in 2008, he revealed that he turned down a role in Boogie Nights to lead Titanic. Of course, the James Cameron helmed film launched DiCaprio's career into the stratosphere, so some would say he made the right choice. At that time, DiCaprio couldn't say he would have rather done Anderson's film instead of Titanic, but he was adamant that he would have loved to have "done them both." "I'm not saying I would have. But it would have been a different direction, careerwise...I would have been happy to do them both," he explained. "And the truth is, if I'd not done Titanic, I wouldn't be able to do the types of movies or have the career I have now, for sure. But it would have been interesting to see if I had gone the other way." While DiCaprio missed his chance to work with Anderson back in the '90s, he isn't missing his shot now. The Killers of the Flower Moon star leads a star-studded ensemble cast in the action thriller film as Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary who is being hunted by Sean Penn's police character, Steven Lockjaw, and must reunite with his ex-revolutionaries after his daughter, played by Chase Infiniti, is taken. "I know One Battle After Another has been on your desk for a long time," DiCaprio told Anderson. "It was a personal story for you in a lot of ways and certainly pertinent to the world that we're living in right now. But ultimately, wanting to do this movie was pretty simple: I've been wanting to work with you — Paul — for something like twenty years now, and I loved this idea of the washed-up revolutionary trying to erase his past and disappear and try and live some sort of normal life raising his daughter." One Battle After Another also stars Teyana Taylor as Perfidia Beverly Hills, Bob's former lover and the mother of his daughter, Benicio del Toro, Wood Harris, Alana Haim and Regina Hall. In the film's trailer, Perfidia is apprehended by law enforcement prior to the start of the movie's events, leaving Bob and Willa (Infiniti) to go on the run and seek refuge with an ally, Sensei Sergio (del Toro). DiCaprio previously described One Battle After Another as "an incredibly epic movie [that] has such scope and scale" when he appeared at CinemaCon 2025 in April to tease the film. He went on to praise Anderson as a "master" who is open to allowing his actors to improvise. "A lot of writer-directors are incredibly rigid, but his ability to work with actors is so unique," DiCpairo said, calling it an "honor" to work with the filmmaker. One Battle After Another premieres in theaters Sept. 26. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Leonardo DiCaprio's ‘biggest regret' in his career is turning down this iconic movie
Leonardo DiCaprio has one big regret about his career. 'I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing 'Boogie Nights,'' DiCaprio, 50, told Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed the 1997 porn epic, during an Esquire interview published Wednesday. 'It was a profound movie of my generation,' DiCaprio stated, adding, 'I can't imagine anyone but Mark [Wahlberg] in it.' 13 Leonardo Dicaprio for Esquire.

'That's simply because it was such a special moment to me,' he said of starring in the Howard Hughes biopic. 'I had worked with Marty [Scorsese] on 'Gangs of New York,' and I'd been toting around a book on Howard Hughes for ten years. I almost did it with Michael Mann, but there was a conflict and I ended up bringing it to Marty.' 13 Leonardo DiCaprio in 'The Aviator.' AP 13 Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett in 'The Aviator.' 'I was thirty,' DiCaprio recalled. 'It was the first time as an actor I got to feel implicitly part of the production, rather than just an actor hired to play a role. I felt responsible in a whole new way. I've always felt proud and connected to that film as such a key part of my growing up in this industry and taking on a role of a real collaborator for the first time.' The 'Don't Look Up' actor also explained how he's made it a point to not overwork himself at this point in his career. 13 Leonardo DiCaprio attends the Warner Bros. Pictures 'The Big Picture' Presentation at 2025 CinemaCon. Warner Bros. via Getty Images 'I do things more sparingly, which means you're anxious to get back to your real life once you've finished filming,' DiCaprio told Anderson. 'Life goes on hold when you're filming. Everything stops and gets put on the back burner in your real life. I might be more concerned if I worked too much.' 'To go from film to film, I would be scared about what do I have to come back to?' he added. 'I'm very fortunate for that.'
