Each day has the same two-page spread that prompts you to think about your day, how you felt, and why you felt that way. There isn't really any inspiration or advice, just open lines for your thoughts without it being an intimidating blank page.

I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Teeccino is a small business that specializes in coffee-like herbal teas
I love tea in the morning but I always want something that tastes strong and bitter to go with my dessert at night, but decaf coffee felt too risky, since there's still a bit of caffeine in it. Enter Teeccino, which tastes miles better than decaf coffee, and is fully caffeine-free. It's so rich that it feels like it has notes of chocolate in it, and so satisfying that I had to check the label a zillion times just to make sure I hadn't misread it, and it secretly was coffee. Nope — just a very delicious faux coffee beverage that pairs well with every dessert in my pantry.

www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" — Isaiah

Mindset is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products.
Promising review:"I started meditating over a decade ago. Intermittent in the beginning, progressing deeper and finding new joys over time. With Breathing Buddha, the last thoughts have dropped away as counting breath always seemed to keep me conscious of, well, counting. Granted, I have always dropped the counting after a handful of breaths, but Breathing Buddha has made for a delightful transition as I realize it don't have to count at all. It is a lovely concept, well executed, and very easy to start using." — Lynn

Get it from Amazon for $25.92+ (available in nine styles).
20. A lightweight hybrid backpack, cooler, *and* chair that is doing so much that it's practically eclipsing all your other gear.

Reviewers especially love that it comes in so many colors so family members can each have their own!
Check out a TikTok of the backpack chair in action.
Promising review: "Super recommended! We have only used it a few times, but it has saved my poor legs and our arms from carrying stuff at events. It is super lightweight, comfortable to wear, and has lots of space. I am a bigger girl, and it holds me just fine sitting on it." — Purehoney

21. A chunky statement ring for some subtle sophistication to both your elevated looks *and* your playful ones. Like all the (TikTok-beloved!!) Pavoi pieces on Amazon, this looks a loooot more expensive than it is, and is built to last.
I bought this for spring and I am obsessed with it. It looks adorable on its own but also easily stacks with my other rings, and it's so comfortable that I often forget I'm wearing it. I am a huge fan of Pavoi jewelry and wear it almost exclusively because of how elegant, affordable, and durable all their pieces are, and so far this piece has held up to the very high standard they've set!
Promising review: "Love. It's a nice quality costume jewelry. Order a size up if you're wanting to wear it on your middle finger or index finger." — Emily

Promising review:"I literally have no idea why I bought this. It was a suggested item and looked interesting, so I was like, 'lol, okay.' I can't believe how much I like it LOL. It looks and feels much nicer than you'd think, and the battery lasts forever. It has three shades of light, and it's extremely bright." — K
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
23. An itty bitty flat water bottle, because sometimes you aren't Big Thirsty, but still Little Thirsty, and you shouldn't have to lug a whole ginormous tumbler to take care of it. This cheeky little insulated option is designed to tuck easily into purses, tote bags, and backpacks without taking up nearly as much space.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is my new favorite water bottle. It looks nice, holds 10–12 ounces, seals well (no leaks), and is sized such that I can slip it into my back pants pocket (most of the time, if they are somewhat roomy) or in a large coat or vest pocket. I take regular 1–2 mile hikes, and I was sick of carrying around water bottles holding twice as much water as I drink. This works perfectly, no excess weight and easy to pocket. I will also use backpacking for an easy access water bottle." — CRIU
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and in a larger size).
24. A retractable car charger so you can charge several devices at any time without having to untangle a veritable jungle of wires. This features a retractable iPhone and Type C charging cable, in addition to two extra charging ports, so it is basically the home base for all your travel tech needs.
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the car charger in action.
Promising review: "Didn't realize I had so many cables in my car until I put this in. Now I just keep a few wrapped up in the glove box that fit older connections. Great that the cables retract out of the way. Only complaint could be that it is rather large, but it is to be expected with four connections. Little car voltage display is nice to have as well (everyone should have one of these, by the voltage amount it shows if your alternator is working)." — Jaxmoto
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
25. A migraine relief beanie for when your brain decides it's going to rattle against your skull at the least convenient time possible.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
26. A rotating 2-in-1 colander and washing basket with a handle to make it *that* much easier to drain water without it being an entire two-act Broadway production of finagling things in the sink.
Promising review: "This is so easy and convenient to use. The material is sturdy and detachable. You can use it to easily wash and strain, and also use the bucket itself to prepare food. Love it." — swska
Get it from Amazon for $16.90.
27. A ring can opener, because holy SMOKES can those be annoying to open. Reviewers swear by this for getting a quick and easy grip without wrecking their nails or cutting themselves on the edges of the lid. It's also a super handy tool for people with arthritis and joint pain.

Piercing your kids' ears puts them at risk for this allergy — the EU even has laws for it
Tiny studs, big trouble? Parents itching to pierce their kids' ears might want to put down the needle — a growing body of research suggests the popular practice could cost more than just a few tears. 'Delay ear piercings in young girls,' Dr. Niha Qamar (@doctor._.q), a board-certified allergist and immunologist, said in a recent TikTok, warning it could increase the risk of a serious, lifelong allergy. Dr. Niha Qamar is a board-certified allergist based in New York. TikTok/@doctor._.q Nationwide, nickel is the leading cause of allergic contact dermatitis — a red, itchy rash that flares up when the skin touches a normally harmless material. Roughly 1.1 million American children are affected by a nickel sensitivity, and studies show that number has quadrupled over the past 30 years. Researchers say early ear piercings are a major factor. In a Swedish study of 960 schoolgirls aged 8 to 15, researchers found that 'the ones who had ear piercings had 13% nickel allergy, versus 1% of the girls who didn't have ear piercings,' Qamar said. Another study out of Finland showed that 31% of pierced kids had a reaction to nickel — compared to just 2% of those without. And in the US, a study found that just 4% of men with no piercings were sensitive to nickel, while 11.1% and 14% of those with one or multiple piercings, respectively, were affected. 'Europe actually passed legislation to decrease the amount of nickel in jewelry (for this reason),' Qamar said. Many Americans get their ears pieced as infants or young children. deltahman – That regulation, the Nickel Directive, was introduced by the European Union in 1994 to limit how much nickel can leach from items like earrings. In the years since, countries like Denmark have reported major drops in sensitization, along with an estimated $2 billion in related health care savings. Nickel allergy isn't deadly, but it can make life miserable. Reactions may include hives, cracked skin, burning, itching and discoloration. More severe symptoms can strike when someone eats nickel-rich foods or has a metal device implanted. Blisters, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches and full-body swelling are all on the table. With no cure, managing symptoms becomes a lifelong battle — and avoiding nickel isn't easy, since it lurks in everything from jewelry and belt buckles to bra hooks and braces. Some people require treatment, which can include medication and even light therapy. With nickel sensitization on the rise in the US, major medical groups are calling for tighter regulations like those already in place in Europe. In 2020, the American Academy of Pediatrics urged the federal government to crack down on nickel in clothing and jewelry. 'The burden of symptoms and cost is high,' the policy statement notes. 'The United States can act on EU data revealing that legislation to limit exposures in childhood, especially with earrings, can impact the prevalence and potentially the severity of disease.' Until then, Qamar says parents should play it safe and hold off on piercing their kids' ears. 'If your child is getting pieced ears, get jewelry that is nickel free,' she recommended. 'That will reduce the risk of nickel sensitization.'

'Socially Awkward' Dog Tries To Make Friends, Hearts Break at What Happens
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A rescue dog has been breaking hearts online after footage of his attempt at making friends with two other dogs ended in rejection. In a video posted to TikTok under the handle @dawson_da_dog, a pet owner shared a clip of their "socially awkward" dog trying, and failing, to ingratiate himself with two other Shih Tzus. The video shows Dawson, the brown-and-yellow dog in the clip, approaching two other black-and-white Shih Tzus, in an apparent effort to make friends. Sadly, however, neither pup appears to be in the mood for socializing, preferring to walk away without engaging the sweet pup. "He struggles to make doggy friends but he loves humans," Dawson's owner, who did not share their name, told Newsweek. "He just has a big personality and, sometimes, doesn't read the signs of a dog not wanting to play. He is the sweetest boy, though, and if there's a dog who's friendly, he loves to play with them!" Everybody needs somebody and dogs are no different. One 2023 study, published in the journal Evolution, Medicine, & Public Health, even suggests dogs with fellow canine friends had a happier, longer life. The study, based on an analysis of over 21,000 dogs, found routine social interactions with other canines in the household was linked to "better health" outcomes than dogs with less socialization. Dawson certainly appears eager to make friends and enjoy life. That has always been his way, though. "We adopted Dawson in 2020 off a site called PuppySpot," his owner said. "He was born in Missouri and was flown to us at just 3 weeks old." In truth, you would struggle to find a more-outgoing dog than Dawson. "He loves walking around the mall and stopping into all the stores. He also likes going to the beach and rolling around in the sand," his owner said. "He is a huge foodie and will eat anything you give him." Sadly, though, on this particular day, at this particular moment, Dawson came up against a brick wall when he wanted to mingle. It was a rejection that those watching appeared to take harder than Dawson himself. "He just has a big personality," one user wrote. "Aw, did he make a friend?" another asked. The good news is that Dawson's owner had a positive update. They said that the footage came from a "Shih Tzu meet up" where "about 50 Shih Tzus gathered to play together." "We just thought it'd be a good place to bring him because it's all dogs of the same breed and size," the owner said. "And he did make a good amount of friends there." So, while Dawson may have struggled in that moment, the pup did end up making a few pals that day, thanks to his happy-go-lucky approach; the power of paws-ativity.
