A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip.
A mold and mildew remover gel because you can set it, forget it, and come back in a few hours to see grout that looks like new. I'm talking basically every speck of black mold is gone! *Cues up "Do You Believe in Magic"*
And a bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray to make soap scum and shower grime buildup vanish without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.
A pet hair roller if you love your fur babies but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!
A pack of shelf dividers for organizing your clothes into neat and distinct piles. These dividers provide stability for soft clothes (and even books and handbags) that tend to fall over into one big pile of mess.
A mattress lifter that'll help you elevate your very heavy mattress and allow you to more easily tuck in the sheets. No more straining your back, propping your mattress awkwardly on your knee or shoulder, or calling in backup when it's time to make the bed.
A crack weeder tool so your knuckles aren't scratched and bloodied after a session of sidewalk weed pulling. This stainless steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease.
Plus, a standing weeder because the worst part of gardening is kneeling for hours, plucking weeds. My back hurts just thinking about it! Thankfully, this tool has three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing.
A Pikk-it tool to remove tangled hair that's lodged in your vacuum head and totally messing with your vac's absorption powers. (And ofc your fingers can't reach the hair!) You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.
A two-tier sliding shelf if there are cabinets in your home that everyone knows to absolutely never open for fear of triggering an avalanche of junk. These durable baskets are up to the task of corralling all the random bits and bobs you own, so every bit of storage space is usable.
An acrylic organizing case perfect for belts (although you can use it for jewelry, watches, knickknacks, etc.) who are currently seeking a home that's not a drawer (where you lose track of what belts you own because you can't see everything) or slung over the closet rod (where they'll inevitably fall).
Some plant cleaning wipes with neem oil that'll lift those water spots (ugh, what an eyesore!) as well as dirt and dust on the leaves, making it easier for your photosynthesize more effectively. Not only will you have beautiful shiny leaves, but you may also notice fewer pests thanks to the neem oil, a well-known insecticide and repellent with antifungal properties.
A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can restore your walls and dressers when your little ones go Baby Picasso on your furniture with a permanent marker. It's equally good at cleaning filthy pots and pans, kitchen appliances, some jewelry, and other bits and bobs that you're currently considering tossing.
Luigi's sink and drain plunger, because it's-a-me, a mini tool that will help you live your best plumber life. But seriously, this handy blue guy will help clear backed-up kitchen and bathroom sinks with 8x the volume of air compared to a traditional plunger.
A stylish shoe cabinet to tackle the eyesore that is a massive pileup of shoes in your entryway while also adding a handy surface for all the bits and bobs you grab on your way in and out of the house.
A slicker brush if your fave fleece blanket or rug started out so cozy and plush, but now the once-fluffy fabric is clumpy, matted, and not so soft. This genius brush is designed to restore cashmere, faux fur, sheepskin, wool, and more, so it feels (and looks!) new again.
A Windex outdoor glass cleaner for homeowners who are tired of sighing in disappointment when they look at their dirty windows but ain't no way, ain't no how they're getting on a ladder to clean those floor-to-ceiling windows. Just attach the bottle of Windex to a hose, spray the solution, and you're done!
Some caulk tape that'll fill in gaps between flooring, baseboards, appliances, counters, window frames, cabinets, and more, making everything just look more ~seamless~.
A renter-friendly, rechargeable battery–powered wall sconce so you can make up for your apartment's abysmal lighting with an actually cute light fixture that doesn't require you to kiss your security deposit goodbye by drilling into the wall or hiring an expensive electrician.
A pack of carborundum sponges because these are the heavy hitters you'll want for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle.
A spinning water bottle organizer to house your extensive collection of jumbo water bottles. This lazy Susan-style water bottle holder can accommodate up to six 40-oz. Stanleys, Starbucks tumblers, and more.
Some heavy-duty dishwasher cleaning tablets if there's a foggy film on the inside of your dishwasher and glassware, or if your dishwasher smells a little funky. Or both! These powerful tablets blast away hard water stains and limescale, eliminate odors, and clean the internal parts of your dishwasher: spray arm, filters, and the pump and valve.
A screen-cleaning brush for anyone who struggles to see out of their windows because of grime-covered mesh screens. Is that a twig or a crack in the glass? Maybe there's a dead bug clinging to the outside of the screen, and he's been there for so long that you've named him. (Everyone say hello to Carl!)
A fabric defuzzer that'll remove lint, pilling, loose strands, and fuzz that have magically accumulated on your upholstered headboard/bed frame, blankets, bedding, mattress, and pillows. It has a handy lint catcher as well as three settings so you can choose how close of a shave you want.
A wood polish and conditioner so you can revive your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets, bed frame, and armoire as quick as a flash. Plus, this method is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing the wood or furniture piece, and using this polish on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer.
Plus, some restorative wipes because your outdoor surfaces are looking cloudy and grimy. These wipes are saturated with a solution that revives oxidized, faded, and sun-damaged surfaces such as bumpers, siding, mailboxes, grills, garden tools, doors, shutters, and decor.
A garbage disposal brush to break up the leftovers that are caked inside your garbage disposal and *gags* causing your kitchen to always reek.
A bulb changer if you've got ultra-high ceilings or just a desire to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground for bulb changes — I don't blame ya! It works on nonsmooth bulbs that regular suction cups won't adhere to, and it has built-in leveling features to ensure you screw in the bulb evenly.
A pack of Snug Plugs for anyone struggling with loose outlets. This'll solve the problem of plugging your phone before going to sleep only to realize the next morning that it fell out of the outlet and never charged.
A Wet & Forget exterior spray (from the makers of the beloved Wet & Forget shower spray I mentioned earlier) that will fade stains over time — and they can stay gone for up to a year. How's that for a low-effort solution to the algae, moss, mildew, and mold buildup on your stone walkway?
A pair of hat racks so you can actually see all the hats you own.
A set of surprisingly glam velvet slipcovers because — PSST! — you can leave that $$$ sofa in your cart. Revamp your sad, stained armchair or couch with a slipcover, and — BAM! — new (kinda) couch!
A pack of adhesive plate hangers to display your heirloom pieces, kitschy ceramics you've thrifted, and vintage tiles you picked up on vacation but haven't known how to hang on the wall.

18-year-old charged after firing shots at a vehicle in Des Plaines

DES PLAINES, Ill. — An 18-year-old from Des Plaines was arrested and charged after firing shots at a moving vehicle. Des Plaines police officers responded to the 1800 block of Ash St. on reports of shots fired at 4:05 p.m. on Friday, May 30. Police say 18-year-old Freddie Reynoso exited a black Ford F-150 and fired several shots at a vehicle that was traveling northbound before fleeing on foot, leaving the truck behind. Officers contacted the registered owner of the truck, Reynoso's mother, and later that same evening, he turned himself in. Reynoso told investigators he fired shots at the vehicle because he and the driver were in a dispute over a girl. A Glock .40 was recovered from a backpack that belonged to Reynoso's friend after he admitted to hiding it there after the incident. Reynoso was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Russia mobilizes 40,000-45,000 troops per month, Ukraine 25,000-27,000, Zelensky says

Russia mobilizes around 40,000-45,000 men for its military every month, while Ukraine mobilizes about 25,000-27,000, President Volodymyr Zelensky told journalists on May 27. Moscow has only intensified its war effort despite calls by Kyiv, the U.S., and European partners for an unconditional ceasefire as a first step toward a peace deal. "When the U.S. sends signals that it wants to do something positive with Russia, then Russia ramps up its mobilization," Zelensky said, according to the NV outlet. While Ukraine estimates that Russia has suffered close to 1 million casualties during the full-scale war, it has been largely able to offset the losses by fresh contract soldiers. In late 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to increase the size of Russia's Armed Forces to about 2.4 million, including 1.5 million military personnel. Russia also aims to conscript 160,000 men for compulsory military service this year, marking the largest conscription campaign in 14 years. Russia conducts conscription twice a year, in spring and fall, requiring eligible men to serve for one year. Although Russian conscripts are typically not deployed in active combat, Moscow has relied on financial incentives and pardons to recruit civilians for the war in Ukraine. Following the unpopular September 2022 mobilization, which saw over 261,000 Russians flee the country, Putin has avoided another large-scale draft, instead using alternative methods to bolster troop numbers. Unlike Russia, Ukraine faced serious manpower shortages in late 2024 amid a heavy Russian offensive in Donetsk Oblast. The Ukrainian leadership has sought to alleviate the crisis by broadening the mobilization pool and offering new incentives for volunteers. Men aged between 25 and 60 can be drafted into Ukraine's Armed Forces, while those aged 18-24 may volunteer to serve, according to the latest legislation. Zelensky said earlier this year that Ukraine has around 800,000 soldiers deployed against 600,000 Russian troops.
