A surprisingly effective instant foot peeling spray want baby-soft footsies for all the sandals you're gonna be wearing but don't have time to visit the salon for a pricey pedicure. Just spray onto clean, dry feet and rub away dead skin! For an extra peeling effect, use an exfoliating mitt!

Many reviewers compare 'em to a pricey pair of Birkenstock sandals.
A portable camping chair you can happily plop down in and rock the day away — while taking cover under the shade of a large tree, of course. It has comfy armrests, a phone pocket, and a cup holder. This is a great investment for avid campers and hikers. It's also perfect if your summer calendar is packed with your kiddo's outdoor activities!
Some cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels with so many uses, you'll be amazed by their versatility.

Monthly Curriculums Are Trending on TikTok — Are They Worth the Hype for Parents?
Parents, you don't need to schedule every day of your month or have a perfectly curated curriculum to grow as a person. I'm a strong believer in the value of hobbies, especially now, when boredom can be cured with a single tap. Hobbies offer a fresh perspective, a chance to learn something new, and often a well-needed distraction from life's less pressing moments (like the Jet2 holiday sound we all can't stop singing). Whether it's reading a subject you wished you studied in college or dropping into a local workshop to sculpt a mug, setting aside time for yourself—especially as a parent—can be deeply rewarding. And now that no one's grading us, we get to explore topics that genuinely interest us, at our own pace, without fear of failure. So I was excited when I first came across TikTok's new monthly curriculum trend. Most videos start with creators setting their goals for the month, many of which centered around reading new books, exploring hobbies, and building better habits. But, as with most things online, this wholesome trend has split into two directions. The Monthly Curriculum Trend Sparks a New Type of Self-Care The monthly curriculum trend took off in early August as users (many of them moms and teens) began flooding the hashtag #monthlycurriculum with videos of their August goals. The goals range from what types of books they hope to finish by the end of the month, to setting time aside to journal and move their body. As one Tiktoker put it in her video, "I think it holds us accountable to not let the month go by without doing anything that stimulates our brains." Many #monthlycurriculum videos are incredibly wholesome, and some even feel a bit therapeutic. Some creators make goals to learn topics they were too self-conscious to explore during their time at school. In one video of a stay-at-home-mom sharing the list of books she hopes to read, she explains that she selected one on finances and even cheekily mentions that it is likely intended for high schoolers. "I'm a 32-year-old stay-at-home-mom and I decided to go through [the book] because I've never really been good with money and it's time to get my finances in order. So this is my economics unit." I've seen video after video of folks sharing what books they plan to read, what they hope to learn, and ways to hold themselves accountable (while still giving themselves grace—of course). Many are finding books at local libraries, recreating recipes to share with friends, and finally setting aside time to finish watching their favorite shows and movies. And while there's a strong focus on activities that promote learning, there's also a side of the trend that leans heavily into beauty enhancements and some curriculum videos are packed with activities that promise to help women "look better"—that is to be more conventionally attractive through dramatic weight loss or adhering to expensive skincare routines. The Not-So-Wholesome Side of the Monthly Curriculum Trend As with most online trends, it didn't take long before it went from inspiring to questionable. In one video, an influencer begins by opening her laptop and showing a slideshow that starts with a slide entitled "Monthly Curriculum"—which is how most of these videos start. But beneath it reads "Miami Girl Glow-Up Guide." She begins to explain that this video will help people "become the best version of themselves." In the video, she runs through over a dozen different things women should start doing, including hot yoga/sauna/steam room two or three times a week, daily red-light therapy, castor-oil-Epsom-salt baths, drinking natural juices every single morning, buying new workout sets (to motivate you to workout), a 10-mile walk once a week, hot pilates four or five times a week, doing a hair mask once or twice a week, scheduling a lymphatic drainage facial (or micro-needling), and much much more. The video is over six minutes long and doesn't mention any creative or intellectual goals until five minutes and 30 seconds in. In another video, another creator emphasizes going to the gym five times a week as her non-negotiable goals in her monthly curriculum, "I'm starting to get older and genetics can only help with so much," she says. However, she does include goals like learning a new instrument. At its worst, this trend veers into "looksmaxxing" territory—a term used online to describe doing everything possible to optimize physical appearance. The shift from encouraging personal growth to enforcing appearance-based perfectionism is subtle but significant and while many of these beauty goals are rooted in personal choice, the messaging—whether intentional or not—can imply that self-improvement is only valid if results in being more conventionally attractive. The idea that we must spend every moment becoming smarter, more interesting, and more beautiful can feel exhausting, especially for women already navigating unrealistic societal expectations. So, Is It Harmful or Harmless? The monthly curriculum trend might be one of the most positive movements I've seen come out of TikTok in recent memory. Folks are rediscovering their love for learning, finding ways to heal their inner child, and holding themselves accountable for what they know (and what they don't fully get yet). But as it gets swept into the tide of algorithm-driven beauty standards, it risks reinforcing the idea that every moment must be optimized, and that we must always be improving ourselves. While many of these curriculum videos are harmless and even healing, others include strict expectations to finish several lengthy books or master a new hobby—all within 30 days. The desire to learn more isn't inherently bad, but when improvement is treated like a full-time job, it can leave people feeling inadequate or burned out. You don't need to schedule every day of your month or have a perfectly curated curriculum to grow as a person. In fact, sometimes the most meaningful progress comes from slow, meandering learning and quiet wins that aren't captured on a TikTok slideshow. (You should still try to finish that book, though).

I Shop Amazon Like It's My Job, and These New Fashion Arrivals Already Have a Spot in My Suitcase—From $12
August is that in-between moment where you're still sweating through your tank tops and jorts, but mentally, you're already planning boots and sweaters. It's the perfect time to start building a transitional wardrobe that works for both summer and fall, and Amazon's trending fashion section is an unexpectedly great place to start. I combed through the most stylish, under-$50 pieces that are already picking up traction this month—think: throw-on-and-go travel outfits, lightweight layers, and comfortable shoes that work across seasons. Whether you're packing for an upcoming trip, updating your airport uniform, or just trying to dress for 75 degrees and unpredictable changes, these trending finds will cover your bases without blowing your budget. The soft, stretchy fabric on this two-piece lounge set makes it ideal for long flights, pesky layovers, or spontaneous snack runs. Bonus: You can mix and match the top and bottom with other travel staples—and right now, it breaks down to just $9 apiece. Patterned midi skirts are gearing up to be fall's biggest quiet statement, and this one brings just the right amount of bold with its leopard print. Wear it with sneakers for exploring Paris or add boots and a sweater when the temps start to dip in NYC. It works just as well in the office as it does on a museum tour. Not only are these espadrille sandals affordable, but shoppers have confirmed their comfy fit too. 'These are cute and comfortable. I have walked some distance in them and no blisters,' one shared. Whether you're strolling cobblestone streets in Lisbon or heading to a rooftop dinner at home, you can pair them with everything from linen jumpsuits to flowy dresses—and they're half off. Light, airy, and versatile enough to wear during three seasons, this maxi dress is what summer-to-fall dressing is all about. It's perfect for sunny picnics with sandals, and it layers beautifully with a denim jacket or chunky cardigan when it gets chilly. These under-$20 sandals take up virtually no space in your carry-on and are comfy enough to wear all day—one shopper even wore them around Mexico and said, 'I was very pleased with the level of comfort and durability.' They're the kind of staple you'll forget you packed but end up wearing constantly, whether it's to the pool, beach, or just running down to the lobby for a snack. My personal favorite on the list, this cropped, colorblock cardigan gives just the right pop to your outfit without being over the top. It's an ideal throw-on for breezy nights, early flights, or anytime you want to look like a stylish version of cozy. These are the ultimate wear-everywhere pants thanks to their high waist, loose fit, and effortlessly polished design. Those same details make the trousers a travel MVP—dress them up with a blouse for meetings or wear them casually with a tank and slides for sightseeing. You'll be surprised how often you reach for them, even post-trip. This matching set is your go-to when you want to look cool at the airport (but feel comfy) and not like you just rolled out of bed. The fabric is soft but elevated, and the pieces are just as cute worn separately. It's great for transitional weather when you don't know if it's going to be 80 degrees or 58 and raining. The Omoone Oversized Denim Jacket is the travel layer you didn't know you needed. It instantly makes any outfit look more put-together, and it's roomy enough to layer over hoodies, dresses, or that slightly-wrinkled airplane outfit. Basically, don't board a plane without it. These comfy, suede clogs are what happens when practicality meets trendy. The slip-resistant soles and cloud-like comfort make them ideal for walking around cities, lounging at hotels, or even running errands back home. They'll look just as good with jean shorts as they will with trousers and a blazer come fall. Cargo pants will be everywhere this fall and this sweatpant version nails the trend without sacrificing comfort. The pockets are deep enough to actually carry your phone, wallet, and boarding pass, and the silhouette makes them look stylish, not sloppy. You'll want to wear them on every travel day. The great thing about maxi skirts is that they do it all. This one is light enough to pair with a tank and sandals for sweltering summer days, and it transitions easily into chillier weather with sneakers and a cropped sweater. It's the kind of skirt you end up living in for weeks. This mini dress is a closet chameleon because you can wear it as a breezy cover-up at the beach, wear it with loafers for the office, or throw it on with a jacket and sneakers for weekend exploring. It's a no-brainer to pack no matter where you're headed. Compact, structured, and surprisingly roomy, this dumpling-style top-handle bag is one of those under-the-radar Amazon finds. The magnetic closure and inner zip pocket keep your travel must-haves secure, while the neutral colors match with pretty much everything in your suitcase. Love a great deal?
