It's almost Memorial Day, aka the unofficial start of summer, so definitely get some callus-removing gel, crop tops, and a portable fan to keep you cool anywhere.
1. A battery-operated portable fan that extends to over 3 feet tall and folds down to three inches into the carrying case, so you can take it into any room, your car, camper, or tent. It boasts four speeds, three LED lighting settings, 120-degrees of oscillation, and even a remote control — you'll want to take this adorable cooling product everywhere!
Promising review: "I love fans. I have slept with one every night for as long as I can remember. I NEED the white noise to sleep and I love the breeze. I already had a nice sleeping fan and a decent portable fan for travel... This is the most versatile fan I've ever owned. It has every feature I never knew I always wanted. It goes from my lanai, to my kitchen, to my bathroom, and in my suitcase for travel. It is almost perfect! They almost thought of everything. The only thing that would make this more perfect is if there was a charging indicator so I would know when it's almost out of juice. Luckily you can still use it while plugged in so if it runs out of battery power, I can still use it. Other than that, this is the perfect fan and travel companion." — Julie

Just FYI, some reviewers mentioned the suction power is pretty strong, so use it carefully!
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca

Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG

Easy to use and I can just throw it in my dishwasher for clean up. I'm obsessed. I will be buying these as gifts. This is an absolute must-have for everyone." — Reviewer

This reparative mask is designed for heat-damaged hair of all types, but definitely beloved by reviewers with fine and wavy hair!
Promising reviews:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles
" THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. Super easy to apply. I have fine curly hair, and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without weighing it down. Works better than any Moroccan Oil, L'Oréal, or Briogeo product I've used and is wayyyyy cheaper. Gifted a bottle to a friend with very thick curly hair, and they said it works amazing on them, too. Just do it once a week and you're set!" — Mid-west
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.
12. A fungal nail renewal treatment formulated with lactic acid, urea, and propylene glycol to help reduce discoloration, thicken your nails, and leave them looking smoother and healthier!

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac
Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available with or without a nail file).
13. A set of waterproof solar lights to set up along your walkway or around your backyard to illuminate the way on those balmy warm weather nights. Each light features three modes and once staked in place, they'll automatically turn on and off according to the sun!
The stakes are adjustable to four heights, waterproof, and frost-, and rust-resistant.
Promising review: "I placed these lights along my path from the front door to the driveway where there was no light at all and I was always afraid I might trip or something going to my car at night.

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $47.49+ (available in three styles and four-packs).
14. A top-rated, reviewer-favorite 400-thread count cooling sheet set featuring a super soft sateen 100% cotton that's sooooo comfy, you might start taking extra-long naps during the day just to get back in them. 😏 The breathable fabric helps keep you cool on those hot, sticky nights when you need the AC and many fans blowing, but even better: they get softer and softer with each wash!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Each set includes one fitted sheet and one flat sheet. The twin and twin-XL sizes include one pillowcase, while all other sizes have two.
FYI, "sateen" doesn't mean "satin"; it's a type of cotton weave that feels extra soft. You may have also seen "percale" cotton sheets — that's the other type of weave, which feels crisp.
Promising review: "Bought these strictly because of the color and cost to use in a guest room. A week after we put these in the guest bedroom, we needed to utilize that bed because we were painting our master. We slept on these and were amazed by the quality for such a low cost. We have always slept on expensive bedding. This set felt just as good. Time will tell how they age, but we have bought another set to use as a spare. Also, I want to mention the cooling effect of these sheets. Both my wife and I love to be cooler rather than warmer when we sleep." — The Dude
Get it from Amazon for $39.94+ (available in sizes Twin–California King, two packs, and 38 colors).
15. Annnnd a pair of *affordable* down-alternative cooling pillows created with a lightweight allergy-friendly filling and breathable cotton cover, so there's always a cool side of the pillow no matter how hard you sleep. You'll feel like you're comfortably snoozing at a 5-star hotel without having to spend the big bucks to stay.
Promising review: "My philosophy is you need to love your job and love your bed because that's where you spend most of your hours. Anyway, I don't work anymore but I dang sure love my bed! High-quality mattress, nice linens, and THESE pillows! They are PERFECT!!!! There isn't a single thing that can be improved because they are like sleeping on a cloud that supports you perfectly... 100 out of 10 stars! We stayed at the Aria in Vegas for my bachelorette party and had several rooms... the first morning, we were ALL talking about the pillows! I'm pretty sure these are the same ones!" — Shawna Hathaway
Get a pair from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three sizes).
16. A popular Eos body lotion beloved by reviewers for its lightweight formula, boasting a blend of skin-loving oils and moisturizing shea butter that leaves your skin silky smooth. It's constantly on Amazon's "Trending Best Sellers" for its obsession-worthy smell and 24 hours of hydration, which will come in handy when your legs, arms, shoulders, etc. are out this summer!
The most popular scent is their vanilla cashmere, which boasts notes of whipped vanilla, musk, and caramel. Other scents include "coconut waters" (notes of creamy coconut hibiscus) and "fresh and dewy" (a light blend of musk and cassis).
Promising review:"Love this lotion. It is very thick and hydrating. Easy to apply. My skin feels very moisturized after application. The smell is definitely the best part. I have sensitive skin, so I struggle to find scented lotion that I like, but this one has not caused any flare-ups on my skin." — Jaquelin g.
Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in four scents).
17. Essence's Lash Princess False Lash Waterproof Mascara — yes, a version of that internet-famous mascara — because it boasts a waterproof (read: sweatproof) formula that delivers the look of voluminous falsies without the painstaking process of gluing to apply and the fear of your lashes flying off when you're driving with the windows down.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I LOVE THIS MASCARA!! It has been Louisiana hot, humid weather tested and I did not wind up with raccoon eyes! I bought the waterproof version and am very pleased with it! I just bought some for my best friend, who is a dirt racer, to wear when she races! This came in a sealed plastic overlay. It was easy to remove with a facial wipe. So after previously spending big bucks on the 'fancy big name brands,' I found this gem and am very happy with it." — Bootlegger
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
18. A pair of retro-chic double-bar aviators designed with polarized lenses to effectively block out the sun and reflective glares, keeping your eyes protected in style. I definitely won't judge you for nabbing more than one pair of these to complement your favorite warm weather styles, but I doubt you'll even let these out of your sight!
Promising review: "Absolutely have become my favorite pair of sunglasses, and I have many pairs. Very trendy and quite affordable. I am shocked at how durable they are for the price point. My sunglasses take a beating on my head, thrown in my bag, and I usually break them in no time, but these have stood up to my normal wear. They offer solid sun protection but not super dark, which I love. They fit the face very well, not oversized and huge but just right for me. Love them!" — NittanyLion
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 10 colors).
19. An air purifier with an effective HEPA-grade filter that's just perfect for anyone currently suffering through the "pollening" this spring, which we know is just a precursor to another summer of surviving hay fever (there should be an award). Worry less about dander, dust, pollen, and other allergens while this super-quiet gadget does the work of removing it for you!
Promising review:"This product is amazing. We do cat rescue...so I'll just leave it at that. It immediately changed the smell in our home. No more smell unless it's immediately after someone uses a box. Air just smells cleaner, fresher. We started with one and bought two more!" — M. Otto
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in black and white).
20. An easy-to-use tie-dye kit because it's finally time to get back outside, and what better way than getting a little crafty with some DIY? This kit includes everything you need — rubber bands, dyes, gloves, and guides — to customize tees, hoodies, shorts, and more, so you can sport a unique style all summer long!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Bought these as an activity for teenagers. Dye color is vibrant and beautiful. We first made the designs using the provided directions and rubber bands, then dry died the shirts. We left the shirts in bags for 24 hrs and then washed them outside with a hose to not get the ink/dye all over. We then let the shirts dry outside in the sun, then we rinse and dried them in the washer, then washed them and dried them again. Color has stayed beautifully and kids love the shirts!" — Ariss M
Get it from Amazon for $24.74+ (also available in a 36-pack).
21. The Ninja Slushi, which has been all over my FYP and IG reels because clearly everyone else is counting down to summer, too! It's designed with RapidChill technology, so you can customize and mix frozen bevvies — no ice necessary! Make every Monday a #margaritamonday, enjoy a Frappé Friday, or Slushi Saturday from the comfort of your kitchen or back deck. 😭
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The Ninja Slushi can hold up to 88 oz. of liquid and is designed with five preset programs and temperature control to adjust thickness. All beverages need some sort of sugar (like honey, coconut sugar, or products made with syrup or fruit juice), alcohol, or the sugar-free substitute allulose in order to properly slush!
Promising review: " This is a need and not a want. If you have been debating on getting one or have seen any reviews with smiles across social media, just go ahead. We've had our machine since mid-February and it's being used daily, even if it's cold out. So far, I've made both sugar-infused, sugar-free, and adult drinks without issue... The possibilities are endless with this machine. From Coke slushies to margaritas to milkshakes to frappé to frozen electrolyte drinks. It's for the entire family from young to old. Great machine for everyday use or in the summer months around the pool or even parties. It's not a big as you think either... The footprint is thinner than my mixer and just a tad bit taller and deeper. It's an appliance that can stay out on the counter." — Jennifer F.
Get it from Amazon for $319.99+ (available in two styles).
22. A two-pack of dark spot fading bar soap with a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots on your face, neck, and body if that's something you're looking to do. Say buh-bye to buying swim shorts if your inner thighs bother you (they certainly don't need to, we're pro embracing your dark spots!) — and either way, hello to bikini season!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
23. A bottle of signature Fur Oil for softening and cleansing pubic hair and skin to help tackle those pesky ingrowns and deliver more moisturized and smoother skin below the belt. Lots of reviewers nabbed this on recommendation from their go-to wax professionals and swear by using it in their post-wax routine!
Promising reviews:"I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." — In the know
"Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." — Megan Harmeyer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes).
24. A longline padded tank that's basically an affordable alternative to your fave Lululemon top! It's got a supportive design that can be worn from the gym to brunch with the besties and on your post-meal errands. Plus, it's lightweight, so you'll be comfortable wearing it solo at home or layered up on the go.
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 is so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors).
25. A screen-cleaning brush so you 🎵 can see clearly now 🎵 through your mesh screen covered with bug carcasses, dirt, and other things from nature that have gotten stuck. You can use it wet or dry and simply swipe it across the screen to clean!
Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." — BonjourBeautyByAmy
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
26. An Owala FreeSip tumbler — it boasts triple-layer insulation to keep your ice-cold beverages chilled all 👏 day 👏 long! 👏 A built-in straw allows you to sip your favorite bevvie or tilt it back and chug away without worrying about a spill.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I've tried them all, and this is hands-down the best water bottle!! I love that I can use it with the built-in straw or use it as a open water bottle just depending on how I tip it while drinking. It's seriously perfect. My husband has been using a Stanley for four years and switched to this after seeing mine. No more leaking or spilling." — rowleypolie
"Without a doubt, everyone has heard the uproar over huge insulated cup brands using lead to make their cups. If that is a concern for you, then there is no need to worry about this one. This cup is made lead-free and works phenomenally! I always put ice in my Owala with my water and notice that all the ice is still there over a span of 48 hours and still freezing cold." — DietDrKelp069
Get a 24-ounce tumbler from Amazon for $27.94+ (available in 22 colors and three other sizes).
27. A bottle of Nyx matte setting spray because you want to be confident that your makeup actually makes it to *and* through the day without worrying about sweating, crying, or wiping it off. You're going to depend on this for those 90-degree daytime functions!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — DH
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in two sizes, and also dewy and radiant finishes).
28. An internet-famed Bum Bum Body Cream that boasts a blend of caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to help *visibly* firm and moisturize skin, so you can step out this season feeling as confident as ever.

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "This Bum Bum cream is a winner! You will not be disappointed. It smells wonderfully awesome. :-)" — Dianne Doering
"Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive lotion...then I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I'm not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it." — Kristen
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes).
29. A pair of slip-on pointed-toe ballet flats to make you feel like you're walking on cloud nine with a comfy memory foam insole. Plus, they're machine washable, so you never have to worry about wearing sweaty, smelly flats to work this summer!

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've gone through several sunscreens to wear with make-up and this has been the best for me. I'm a simple girl. I apply this with vitamin C cream, let it absorb then apply my It Cosmetics CC cream. It acts like a primer for me, and my CC glides nicely over it, no pilling, no heavy or cakey feeling. It's def lightweight but provides great protection." — Emily Haynes
Get it from Amazon for $14.88.
32. Aquaphor's popular lip protectant, which works double duty as a sunscreen with SPF 30 to help soothe and repair dry, chapped lips while still keeping them protected from harmful UV rays!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Because this is made with Broad Spectrum SPF 30, it meets the AAD Guidelines!
Promising review: " I used this every day 2–3 times a day in the Florida sun. This worked for me fantastic. I cannot use typical balms with sunscreen, so I decided to try this because I love regular Aquaphor for chapped lips." — jeanie

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I absolutely love this romper dress!! It is so incredibly comfortable and cute! I have gotten so many compliments when I wear it out! It is a great quality material and is so universal that it can be worn for a variety of events! You can dress it up or wear it casually and be active in it! It has large/deep pockets that are great for keys/small wallets. I bought a cropped white tank to go underneath it, which completed the look! There is a full-body romper with shorts that is fitted but not too tight or restricting. It is the perfect length and it's straps are not uncomfortable at all! The color is so perfect and looks exactly like the picture! I would buy this again and again!!" — Hannah Montag

Each set comes with 28 nail strips, a nail file, wooden cuticle stick, and a prep pad. If you do choose to cure with a UV/LED lamp, it only takes five seconds!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O'Connell has to say about these:"I struggle with stick-on nails because they always look too big and clunky (think: child with olives on their fingertips). I'm unwilling to file down my nail beds to get them to sit right, so I usually opt for traditional gel manicures, even though they're expensive. These strips are a fantastic replacement: They're affordable, easy to apply, and actually look like a real manicure. It's too cold to go outside without gloves right now, so I cured these with a UV lamp, and they came out great! If you have experience with stickers, you can master these — I believe in you!"
Promising review: "I am loving this brand! Beautiful color. Last for about 10 days before starting to chip. These don't snag in my hair either like other brands I've tried. Fit great. Enough for two applications." — KAS
Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 14 styles).
35. An acne-clearing lotion specifically for your bum that features an anti-bacterial and moisturizing formula with tea tree oil to help reduce breakouts.

Promising review:"This product works, but takes time! I have really bad stubborn acne on my butt and thighs... this product did not clear them up right away, considering I have bad acne so that was to be expected. I am now on week three and am finally noticing a difference in the acne. It is actually mostly clear! if you are willing to wait for the results then this is a good product for you. I noticed if you stop using (which I did for a period of time) the acne does come back! So I would use for awhile after skin has healed as well. This is definitely needed for summer time! Thank you so much for making this product, seems to be the only thing that worked for me!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
36. A pair of subtle yet stylish slip-on sneakers designed with a breathable knit material and antimicrobial lining that helps kill bacteria and prevent shoe odors. Stroll through farmers markets, brewery tastings, and weekend gallery hops in these ultra-comfy, lightweight sneakers that'll take you from spring to fall.

Promising review: "I love my Model 000 white sneakers. The first time I wore them was on a trip, and I wore them for two days straight. There was no break-in required. They are my new favorite shoes! They are lightweight but provide good support, too. I washed them, and they came out looking brand new, and they dried really fast." — Julia W.
Get it from Atoms for $145 (available in women's sizes 5–16.5 with quarter-size increments, men's sizes 3.5–15 with quarter-size increments, and 16 colors).

‘Rose Hill' Romance Series Is Becoming a Show—And Fans Can't Wait
Elsie Silver's popular Rose Hill series will make its debut on screen, Variety revealed Thursday. Amazon MGM Studios is set to develop the show and bring the best-selling author along for the ride! There isn't information on the cast and release date yet, but Silver shared the news on Instagram with her 312,000 followers writing, 'In a true 'pinch me' moment I am beyond thrilled to share that my Rose Hill series is in development for television! I am honored to be working with an incredible team at @amazonmgmstudios and @templehillent. I know that these characters are in the best hands and cannot wait to see this very special town come to life.' Silver will be the executive producer of the show, along with Temple Hill's Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and James Seidman. Annika Patton of Temple Hill will produce the show, according to Variety. The Rose Hill show's official logline is: 'Welcome to Rose Hill, a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains, where crystal-clear lakes, iconic honky-tonks, and wide-open skies create the perfect backdrop for creativity, reinvention—and falling in love. In this warm, sexy, and heartfelt ensemble drama, both lifelong locals and big-city transplants discover that love is messiest when it's real, and family is often the one you build.' Untitled Entertainment, on behalf of Kimberly Bower at Park, Fine & Bower Literary Management, brokered the deal, according to Variety, and comes on the heels of Amazon's recent triumph with shows based on bestselling novels. The success of Amazon's 'Daisy Jones & the Six,' 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' and 'Reacher' are good omens for 'Rose Hill's' upcoming release. The Rose Hill book series is set in the picturesque, small town of Rose Hill, nestled in the Rocky Mountains. Each stand-alone novel follows different characters as they navigate the struggles, successes, and steamy love stories that Rose Hill brings. Currently, there are three books in the Rose Hill series–Wild Love (2024), Wild Eyes (2024) and Wild Side (2025)–but a fourth book, Wild Card, is expected to be released in September 2025, according to Goodreads. The series's fast popularity gained attention from readers across the country, making a strong fan base and following. According to Amazon, Wild Love and Wild Eyes both achieved Sunday Times bestseller status shortly after their releases. The first novel, Wild Love, follows Ford Grant, a billionaire seeking refuge and the chance to follow his dreams in Rose Hill. His plans go awry when parenthood and a love interest enter the mix. Silver's second novel, Wild Eyes, traces country music star Skylar Stone through her journey of heartbreak, personal growth, and new love. The most recent novel in the series, Wild Side, explores parenting and loss through the complex relationship between Tabitha and Rhys. More details are (hopefully) coming soon about the show, but in the meantime, fans can celebrate their favorite series finally coming to life… and eventually screens!
