Your jaw is about to drop when you glance at the price of this adorable bag reviewers are comparing to Gucci...
1. A TikTok-famous "Soft" perfume rollerball that'll have you smelling like a walking, talking, sugar-filled bakery — all for only $6. It has a hint of sweet citrus, which plenty of reviewers compare to warm sugar cookies. Plus, you can basically bathe yourself with the amount that this sweet scent can get you for the same amount as your pricier name-brand bottles.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.75 (available in two styles).
2. A pair of "Dreamlux" leggings reviewers can't help but compare to Lululemon's Align joggers thanks to that buttery soft material — but, like, a lotttt cheaper. They're legit perfect for running errands, lounging around, or even hitting that squat goal at the gym — because yeah, they're just that comfy.
Amazon
I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that for some reason I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear a legging, and I'm happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too.
Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson
Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles).
3. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber so you can smell as ✨expensive✨ as you feel.
Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
See what BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has to say about this: " I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry."
Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two other scents).
4. A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener so you can trick everyone around you into thinking you got the full recommended nine hours of sleep when you were actually too busy marathoning the latest season of Love Island. This baddie gives you instant coverage but is incredibly lightweight, and it's made with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to moisturize your skin.
www.amazon.com
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
5. A fabric defuzzer you can simply glide over areas with pilling, aka those unwanted fuzzies that pile up on your furniture and clothes. Now, you can smooth out your couch without manually pulling each and every piece of fuzz.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have watched TikTok after TikTok before buying this, and it has saved many of my clothes that I considered not wearing anymore. For example, sweatpants after a few months of wear and washing get extremely linty. This has saved them, and they look almost new." — Sasha
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors and two styles).
6. A pair of waterproof wireless earbuds so you don't have to worry about shelling out the bug bucks for a pair you can confidently use at the gym. These come with a carrying case that, get this, display the charge on the front, so you no longer have that moment where you go out only to realize that your earbuds have run out of juice. 🪫
Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" — Erin
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in eight colors).
7. And a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones because you've always wanted a pair with premium cushion padding, a built-in mic for taking calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for only $20. These babies may look like the iconic AirPods Max, but they don't have that $$$$ price tag attached.
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
See what BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has to say about this: " I own a pair of these, because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
8. A set of affordable lavender shower steamers so you can get a spa treatment from the comfort of your own sauna and de-stress in ~style~.

Promising review: "Hubby bought these for me because I work full time and just decided to go back to school full time, and he figured I'd be a little stressed, haha. They all smell wonderful, they work great, and they'll definitely help me calm down, especially during exam time at school or budget season at work." — Tyleena Gloeker
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles).
9. A set of adorable pastel "unbreakable" deep plates because prettiness should never be sacrificed in the name of practicality. They're chic, they're lightweight, but still dishwasher- and microwave-safe — time to order a pack of these ASAP.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it's an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as bowls!).
10. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath and Body Works. This lotion is alllll over your socials thanks to the lightweight, long-lasting moisture — and the fact that it smells like paradise in a tube.
Promising review: "I was worried after some people said the scent was a bit strong, but as someone who is usually sensitive to smells I'm extremely happy with this. N ot only does it feel amazing and super creamy, it smells SOOOO good. I love that it feels like expensive body butter and the smell literally lasts all day. 100% recommend" — Carley
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two sizes, five other scents, and multi-packs).
11. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo — a magic potion that'll help reduce breakage and give your scalp a fuller look. Not only does it nourish your hair, but it smells like rosemary and coconut! You may not be contemplating booking an expensive trip to Turkey for a hair transplant after you start using this shampoo.
www.amazon.com
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and three scents).
Psst — reviewers mention this is most effective when paired with a scalp massager to work it into their roots!
12. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara for those of you who would love a way to get the falsies look for $7! This mascara is incredibly affordable, incredibly volumizing, and lasts the entire day — plus, it comes off so easily, no smudging or makeup remover required!
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
See what BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has to say about this: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
13. A classic herringbone necklace so those strangers you pass by at Starbucks think you ~actually~ spent $13,000+ on a gold necklace. This is so close to the Tiffany HardWear version, literally no one will believe you were able to snag it for only $20.
Amazon
Promising review: "I've been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn't believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!" — FAXA10
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six styles).
14. A pomade hair wax stick that Will. Not. Budge. Just swipe it over any targeted areas you want to smooth, and this will sleek back those baby hairs without any crunch or flakes ruining your updo.
Promising reviews:"Saw this on TikTok and saved it. Waited months to buy because I'm cautious about products that are trending. I finally gave it a go and was so happy! I had to get a haircut to get rid of dead weight, split ends, etc. So I am aware that my hair is still repairing itself. I did a blowout and then ran the flat iron in my head. The stick went on smooth, only required a little bit, and the no fuzz or hair sticking out at the top. Love this! Worked well, and I was able to keep my naturally wavy hair straight for three days." — carla
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in multipacks).
15. KISS PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue because you're so tired of your fave press-ons snapping off after just the smallest action. Reviewers basically swear by this glue, as they say it lasts over a week and is super easy to remove, so you can still reuse those nails again and again. AND it's cheap!?! *Adds to cart*
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the nail glue in action.
Promising review: "I've been using this on my press-ons, and when I say they last a month or longer without any popping off! I will never go back to any other brand. Easy to use, quick-drying, GREAT PRICE!! Like, how can you beat that value? The size you get for the price is really unmatched. The glue removal is pretty eas y. If I plan on reusing the press-ons, I'll soak them in water and soap and pop them off. If not, I'll cut and shave down the nails and soak in acetone until it dissolves the nails enough for me to use my drill." — Big Ming
Get it from Amazon for $1.97 (also available in a two-pack).
16. A set of eye-popping fine-point pens so your school notes and journal entries look super colorful and organized in literally the prettiest way possible. And don't worry, it doesn't bleed through paper, so it won't accidentally cover up that biology definition that is definitely on your next exam.
Promising reviews:"I got these to help motivate me to write in a journal to help my mental health. They work great, and I LOVE seeing all the different colors in my journal! It makes me happy. :)" — Ella B.
"I love these pens. They were on a TikTok review, so I thought I would give them a shot. I don't doodle; I write. They write smoothly like a felt tip pen. Plus the option of colors, yahoo! For $7, you can't go wrong!" — Heatherfoy68
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a pack of 24 or 36; available in three color sets).
17. A ~weightless~ liquid cream blush that'll give you a gorgeous, soft, dewy finish. It's easy to blend on your cheeks, and you'll fall in love with how pigmented, long-lasting, and buildable it is! AND apparently (you didn't hear this from me), it's giving Rare Beauty a run for their money *sips tea*.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The color is so unbelievably beautiful. I'm so glad I picked it. Compliments my skin and hair tones. Just creamy and easy to apply. You also don't have to worry if you applied too much. I like a good sheer blush that isn't like paint. So creamy and pretty cool container, but kind of a weird applicator. It needs to store it upside down or something to get all the product to drip onto the sponge." — Kyla
Get it from Amazon for $6.39+ (available in three shades and in sets of three).
18. A set of wildly popular moisture-wicking double-brushed microfiber sheets so you can feel like you're snuggling under a pile of soft, luxurious marshmallows. Plus, these have a cooling effect so that those of you who live in hot climates or experience night sweats or hot flashes (and seriously, where were these when I was pregnant?!) are able to slumber on in peace.
LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets.
P romising reviews: 'LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at, and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ' — Shannon Warfel
"Super soft, great quality, good price. Saw these advertised on TikTok and had them sitting in my cart for months. My sister bought a set, and when I felt how soft, I immediately bought them." — Donna Baker
Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in sizes Twin–California King, with deep pockets, and in 40 styles).
19. Essence's "What the Fake!" Plumping Lip Filler that'll puff up your pout and give you some seriously luscious lips. These babies use vitamin E and hyaluronic acid to add some extra fullness to your lips, while also moisturizing them so they are smooth and supple. Angelina Jolie, who?
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the plumping lip filler in action.
Promising review: "I got this as an add-on last minute because of the price. It's small, but wow, it's impactful. A little goes a long way, and you can feel it working instantly. There is a tingle, not quite a burn. I'd def use a bit at a time when starting, but it works great right away." — Bt2turntup
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in five tints).
20. A seamless, compressive ribbed bodycon jumpsuit oh-so-freakin' similar to the Skims jumpsuit that has dominated your FYP lately, but for like a fraction of the price. It's the perf 'fit for a low-impact workout, a casual outing, or simply modeling for your Insta story. No one has to know that you got it from Amazon.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "RUN. Don't walk. I never write reviews but legit as soon as I put this on, I knew I had to share with the world. So surprisingly thick (no fear of see-through) and stretchy. The ribbed texture is fun and gives that extra snatch effect." — bmg
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and nine colors).
21. An adorable, roomy duffel bag incredibly similar to the Herschel's duffel (but, ya know, waterproof), that will be the perfect accessory for your weekend trip — with the added bonus of being cute enough to not clash with your perfectly curated 'fit.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "This bag is amazing!! It's the perfect size for all my gym stuff. Clothes, shoes, water bottle, pre-workout, headphones, toiletries, etc., and it can be made smaller or bigger height-wise with these little buttons they have on the side that you can snap down. Very cute. It also has some inside mesh pockets to help separate things better. If you're thinking about it, just buy it! You won't regret it." — Sarah Brackenrich
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and dozens of colors).
22. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment for anyone who wants a frizz-free, silky look without paying exorbitant salon prices. Just apply it to wet hair, leave in for five minutes, and say goodbye to the damaged look your hair has been sporting after years of abuse at the hands of bleach and flat irons. Many reviewers even say this is comparable (or even better) than the pricey Olaplex No.3.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn't worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can't beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that's been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB

23. A set of quick-drying Swedish reusable dish towels so A) you're not wasting a whole roll of paper towels every time you need to clean up a kitchen mess, and B) to save up money while also making it super easy to wipe up that spaghetti splatter.
www.amazon.com
Eparé is a small business that specializes in kitchen and cleaning products for home use.
Promising review: "Have been using these for a year now and absolutely pleased with replacing these for using paper towels. They are absorbent and easy to clean with dish soap and water, then hung to dry. I throw ones that have had several uses into the dishwasher at the end of the week. They hold their shape and absorbency, and while a duller pattern, does well for a couple of months each." — Ben McDonald
Get a set of four from Amazon for $22.98 (available in an eight-pack).
24. A mini weighted blanket because sometimes you just want some coziness without the commitment (or heat) that comes with a heavy full-sized one.
Read more about how to choose a weight and what these blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I love weighted blankets, but I always get way too hot with them. This is perfect because I can cover up the half of my body that I want the weighted feeling on while the rest do my body gets to stay cool. It is perfect for me." — Patricia Newt
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three weights and six colors).
25. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount perfect for propping up your device during any long plane rides. The strong clamp can attach itself to just about anything — your seat tray, suitcase handle, etc.. And the dual joints and 360-degree rotation allow for the best viewing angles, so you can comfortably watch Friends as the clouds pass you by. Reviewers have used it on everything from their car dashboards to carry-on handles to office desks to bedside tables.
Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go.
Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." — Earendil
Get it from Amazon for $9.78+ (available in seven colors and packs of two).
26. An interactive Petcube pet camera with a wide angle and night vision, for peace of mind since you'll have the ability to check in on your furry baby 24/7 — for like a fraction of the price of the famous Furbo.
Amazon

Petcube is a California-based small business established in 2012 that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products.
It's also app-enabled and can send you instant notifications, sync with Amazon Alexa, and even access a vet on demand if you notice any weird behaviors.
Promising review: "Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who kept digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39, but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet, but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." — Rick Grisham
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $59.99 (available in other multipacks and with a subscription).
27. A temperature-detecting coffee thermos perfect for anyone who's ever taken a sip of their coffee, only to be rewarded with a scalded tongue. This thermos keeps your coffee warm or cold for 24 hours, *and* has a digital display that'll let you know the exact temp! Plus you can even use it as a water bottle since it's 100% leakproof.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I ordered one based on reviews, and it did not disappoint. I like my coffee HOT and my water COLD, and this lets me know exactly what to expect. It keeps ice for HOURS, as in well over 24 if the lid is on and over 12 even if the lid is off. Best feature ... I've managed to drop it TWICE in as many days, and although the top is a little scratched (I had a sleeve from a different bottle that almost comes up to the lid), the thermometer still works. Still leakproof. Couldn't ask for a better thermos." — Kelly H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors).
28. A three-pack of vintage-inspired sunglasses to make you look like you dropped $$ on RayBans, but sans the crippling worry of accidentally dropping 'em. No need to fear losing these bad boys while lounging poolside at that fab resort you booked — these glasses are not only super cute but extremely affordable, so you can keep a backup pair (or two) for the days you misplace these at the tiki bar.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great, and with the price point, I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" — Jessica M
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 14 sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs).
29. A set of delightfully versatile colorful mixing bowls that come in oh-so-cute colors and have a spout for easy pouring. Plus, they nest for easy storage, so you can save some serious cabinet real estate.
Promising review:"I love these mixing bowls. The packaging is very beautiful. The bonus for me is the black rings in the bottom to prevent the bowls from sliding around on the counter when you're mixing/whisking. I bought them to make pancakes, but I use them for everything now. The set is a nice upgrade from using a regular soup bowl for mixing." — Sarita
Get the set of four from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 12 styles).
30. A satin cowl-neck midi dress perfect for any party you waltz into this upcoming wedding season, because reviewers rave about how easy it is to shimmy in when that dance floor just seems to call your name.

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 21 colors and patterns).
31. A stylish fitness smartwatch because those expensive versions are not only a bit too pricey, but let's be honest, aren't even half as chic as these ones. They're water resistant, take calls and texts, monitor your sleep, AND have over 70 different activity modes for fitness tracking: including the ability to track your heart rate, steps, and calories for each workout.

Get ready to get your perspective changed — this book will help you view your life through a completely different lens.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people are holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable for different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.70.
33. A chic, versatile minimalist-style end table perfect if you're in need of a little more surface space for eating, stashing away some random knickknacks, or serving tea to those unexpected guests. Plus, it looks so cute in your living space!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is the perfect easy breakfast sandwich maker. It cooks the egg perfectly (I used jumbo eggs, and it worked perfectly, just like regular eggs). It's honestly one of my personal favorite appliances. I just had a baby, and having something I can crack an egg into and let it sit to cook without having to flip, and it's done within five minutes is honestly a lifesaver, and it cleans super easy! 10/10 I love this thing; it's just like my George Foreman!" — Emily
Get it from Amazon for $11.59+ (available in six colors).
35. An affordable longline sports bra if you've always wanted the Lululemon look but you don't feel like dropping 💸💸💸 on the name brand. The look and material is so comparable to Lulu, literally no one will believe you were able to snag this from Amazon. Time to get one in every color.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I've been looking for a sturdy, casual pair of white sneakers for a while now, and these fit the bill! I'm a teacher and Mom of two, so I'm constantly moving. I was worried about them getting uncomfortable and dirty quickly, but they are my daily go-to shoes now. They even survived a muddy Easter egg hunt with just some hot water and dish soap. 100% recommend. Added bonus: they go with EVERYTHING!" — Theresa Oliviero

37. Plus, a set of cult-favorite, absurdly affordable moisture-wicking exercise socks because you want to prevent blisters without resorting to buying name-brand socks for like triple the price.
Amazon
See what BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has to say about this: " I have been buying a new set of these every year since 2020, and they have kept my VERY blister- and chafing-prone feet snug and moisture-wicked on every single long run. They've essentially phased out any of my other socks, because they're extremely comfortable to boot. As a runner who often clocks in 25+ miles a week and often in some 'yikes!' summer heat, I cannot recommend these socks enough."
Promising review:"These socks are designed perfectly for running socks. The bottoms and toes are thick, the tops are thin, the lower heel is reinforced, the heel top has a tab that provides extra cushion on the Achilles where some shoes like to wear into you. The size is true to fit. I've purchased many packs of these, and they are the best I've tried." — SmokeyBear

38. A chain purse if you've always salivated over the thought of owning Gucci's Dionysus bag, but your bank account says ✨no.✨ This has the same chain style and front clasp, so literally no one will be able to tell the difference — don't worry, I won't spill your lil' secret.

Promising review: "Let me spill the tea — it's giving major Gucci vibes! This bag is a total [alternative], and I'm here for it!!!!! It's super cute, perfectly sized, and I'm completely obsessed. The snake print design adds that touch of luxury and edginess that I crave in a purse. Whether I'm rocking a casual look or dolled up for a night out, this bag pulls everything together like magic. The chain detail? For the price, it's everything. Talk about a chic statement piece. If you're all about that Gucci-esque style without breaking the bank then get ready to turn heads and have everyone wondering, 'Is that a Gucci?' Oh honey, it's a fashion secret we'll keep to ourselves." — Rita

Ex NJ teacher roasted after claiming she was traumatized by Sydney Sweeney ad

She used Sydney's rump for a trauma dump. An ex New Jersey teacher-turned-lifestyle influencer is getting roasted online for turning Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad into a therapy session, with a post claiming she feels unattractive because of her skin color — and a repost of it, calling her a 'professional victim,' went viral. 'For me, I can't help but think about the 13-year-old brown girl who gets all of her denim at American Eagle, who already struggles to see her beauty and worth in a world that continues to value white, Eurocentric beauty standards,' said Payal Desai of Medford in an Instagram video on Tuesday. Her clip was reposted on X on Wednesday by media personality Colin Rugg — with the caption, 'The professional victims are relentless' — and it's already racked up 10.6 million views and masses of criticism. 'If your self worth crumbles at the sight of Sydney Sweeney in jeans, I've got news for you: The problem isn't whiteness. It's you,' one X user wrote. 'The American Eagle ad triggered your childhood trauma? Because Sydney Sweeney is blonde and beautiful?' someone else asked. 'Girl, that's not oppression, that's insecurity, and you need to handle that in therapy, not social media. I'm a mixed Latina, and I think she looks absolutely stunning.' 'This was probably just a grift by her to get everyone to tell her she is pretty,' Rugg, who has 1.8 million X followers, added. Desai called the 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ad campaign 'especially off-putting.' Desai, 39, whose parents are from India, grew up in Allentown, PA, according to NJ Advance Media. In her reactionary post, which garnered 284,000 views on her Instagram page, @payalforstyle and over 88,000 on her TikTok handle, she spoke about her difficulty finding herself pretty in her 'predominantly white community.' 'I really wasn't gonna weigh in on this, but here we go. It is so difficult to grow up as a person of color, specifically a woman, and view yourself as beautiful in any sense of the word growing up in this country,' she began in the video to her 441,000 followers. 'I remember growing up in a predominantly white community wishing myself out of this body, out of this culture. Take my name if it meant that I could wake up blonde-haired and blue-eyed, never having to explain who I am or worry about being accepted. That is why this American Eagle ad with Sydney Sweeney is especially off-putting.' This is not the first time Desai, a former eighth grade teacher who left her job to pursue full-time content creating, has gone viral. In 2023, Desai amassed millions of views for her series on TikTok dubbed 'No Dusty Sons,' where she teaches her two young boys lessons that will one day benefit their future partners. Desai has disabled comments on her now-infamous Instagram post.

What Kyla Pratt And Her Daughter Look Like Now

This is the phenomenal Kyla Pratt, and she's a mommy. No, she's a mom. She has a daughter, a human child, and she's seriously a spitting image of her parents. Kyla and her longtime boyfriend, tattoo artist Danny Kirkpatrick, have been together since 2008, and share two daughters, Liyah, born in 2013, and Lyric, born in 2010. Before her adventures in motherhood, Kyla had the late '90s/early 2000s on lock, reprising her role in sequels to 1998's Dr. Doolittle, starring in One on One, and voicing Penny Proud in The Proud Family. Kyla's currently reprising her role as Penny in the revival series, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder on Disney+. But, even with those most impressive acting credits, Kyla's most groundbreaking role is co-starring in her daughter Lyric's TikTok because why do they look so alike, and why do I feel ancient now? Back in 2023, Kyla and Lyric made their TikTok debut together for the first time, and everyone was stunned by their identical appearance. Now, Lyric has posted new videos with her mom, and people are even more flabbergasted at how much they look like each other. In a TikTok shared on Aug. 1, Lyric and Kyla were joined by internet personality and actor Charles Brockman III to recreate an iconic moment from the very first episode of The Proud Family, "Bring It On." People are rightfully losing it over the similarities. One person even joked that Lyric "literally looks like Penny" from The Proud Family. Another said that she "could play penny proud in a live action" version of the animated series. And like most millennials who grew up with Kyla, this person said, "this just healed something in me," and I get it. Lyric really looks JUST LIKE her mother! And, of course, she looks like her daddy, too! Look at those adorable smiles.

Corporate America is not falling for the left's outrage over Sydney Sweeney's ‘good jeans' ad

The left is trying its best to stir up a furor over the recent Sydney Sweeney jeans (or is it genes) TV commercial to ignite a backlash similar to the Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light debacle. Sorry progressives, it ain't happening. Yes, there's lots of chirping from lefty columnists, purple-haired TikTok influencers, late-night hosts who are still employed, and assorted wokesters after American Eagle had the audacity to feature the attractive blond, blue-eyed actress expressing her sartorial flair in a pair of tight-fitting blue jeans. Advertisement 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color . . . my jeans are blue,' the 'Euphoria' star says. The ad ends with a voice-over: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Blond women? Blue-eyed? Good genes (I mean jeans)? Oh, the horror! That's if you are listening to the leftist commentariat that still hasn't piped down weeks after the spot first appeared. The lefties are freaking because they think the jeans company is looking to bring back the bad old days, pre-George Floyd of course, when white blond oppressors ruled over American culture. Advertisement It's all very Hitler-like to the progressive numbskull class, but not to just about every other segment of American society. Most Americans of all colors and genders either don't care, or they know good genes and jeans when they see it. I know this based on lots of reporting on the mind virus known wokeness — the progressive orthodoxy that embraces everything from cultural Marxism, DEI and, of course, the oppressor-oppressed theology. We are a diverse country, and that's good. The wokesters take it to a level that excludes rather than includes. Good-looking white people, particularly if their hair is that evil shade known as blond, are nowhere near the intersectional matrix they demand for hiring or image making in their version of America. Advertisement That's why Sydney Sweeney, known more for her cleavage than her politics, has become a touchstone in our culture wars, and here's why the attacks won't work: Wokeness was once big in the business world, but notice my use of the past tense. Corporate America listened to these kooks for many reasons, including their own progressive management leanings, with disastrous results. They learned the hard way that most Americans of all races hate being proselytized with political dogma, particularly of the left-wing variety that pushes the limits of identity and gender politics beyond cultural norms. I chronicled this spectacle with a healthy dose of schadenfreude in my book 'Go Woke Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America.' Just a few short years ago, DEI was the norm; so was radical environmentalism pushed by asset managers through something called ESG investing. It was difficult finding a straight man or woman — God forbid a blond — who survived the Madison Avenue woke censor machine. Budweiser thought its customers were ready for a commercial featuring a half-naked trans woman in a bubble bath. Disney decided it could sell more kids programming featuring same-sex kissing scenes. Money managers like BlackRock thought they could increase returns by advocating environmentalism and de facto racial quotas on their portfolio companies. Advertisement All of the above resulted in some of the biggest brand-destroying disasters in modern business history. Marketing is a lot like politics. It's a business of addition, not subtraction. You build customers just like you attract voters, through messaging that unites rather than divides — or customers flee. There are exceptions, of course. Niche brands like Ben & Jerry's ice cream attempt and succeed at targeting the tree-hugger demo. Try this stuff on a mass audience and you will get the beatdown of the century. The predictable customer revolt impacted the businesses of Budweiser, Disney and BlackRock in such a measurable way that shareholders revolted, too, forcing some of the most progressive CEOs in the world to course-correct. That's why the Sydney Sweeney uproar will go nowhere with the people who matter most: Most American consumers, and American Eagle shareholders. Unless you're stretching it like Silly Putty, there's nothing inherently political about a pretty blond (dare I say 'All American'-looking) woman in jeans and pointing out the health of her genes to sell stuff. Zero. Zilch. Otherwise, Pamela Anderson would have been a poster child for Aryan Nations instead of the 'Baywatch' babe most American men and many women adored, and still do. Shares of American Eagle are up since the Sydney Sweeney ad ran, despite the backlash. NYU Marketing Professor Eitan Muller points out the obvious, telling Fox Business's Teuta Dedvukaj that the commercial 'attracts attention, drives Google searches, and boosts the brand. Yes, she does have great genes — and it rings authentic. That's what you want from an ad.' My bet: You will be seeing a lot more of Sydney Sweeney. Most men will be rejoicing, many women will buy the company's jeans. Management will be rewarded with higher sales and a stock price that matches. The attacks will ultimately fail for the same reason Mulvaney's tenure as a spokeswoman for Bud Light was so short-lived. Recall: The nation's Number 1-selling beer dropped to Number 3 and never recovered. Sydney Sweeney has both good jeans and genes and there's nothing the wokesters can do to change that reality.
