I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. 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!

It'll keep your wood surfaces protected from the elements so it stays looking pristine for *much* longer.

OR simplify the process with this all-in-one wood stain and sealer because transforming your deck is a lot easier than you might think. The company literally calls it a "goof-proof" application, so don't you dare doubt your DIY abilities for one minute!! Use it on decks, benches, sheds, fences, and more. Be sure to give it around 14 days to settle into its true color — it'll look darker shortly after review: "Applied two coats to a pressure-treated deck. Goes on effortlessly with a brush or roller. Spilled drops and brush strokes blend together. Absorbs into wood. Dark Walnut color goes on darker and lightens some. Repels water well. Nothing here that is going to peel up and flake off like some products that claim to last for 5+ years but only hold up a year or two." —JrickyGet it from Amazon for $42.70+ (available in two sizes and 10 shades).

You can also line the top of a pergola with these vines for some shade, letting a bit of dappled sunlight pass through for a gorgeous effect!Promising review: "This was exactly what we needed for the backyard. It definitely provides enough privacy, and it gives the backyard a very nice ambiance! The leaves completely blend in with the other trees and plants we have in the backyard, and it looks like we made a huge upgrade in our gardening game. I'm now just hoping it can withstand the AZ summer and not fade with the sun (product description does state fade resistant). Don't be hesitant with purchasing; it's totally worth it!!" —Amazon CustomerGet a roll from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three sizes). You'll need some green zip ties to secure them, too. OR hang a waterproof outdoor curtain if you're dealing with some next-level eyesores you want to block out entirely.

It works on both concrete and stone surfaces!Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up. It broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." —AmazonBobGet it from Amazon for $17.97 (also available in a larger size) Use an instant mold and mildew stain remover spray on the stubborn mold that's currently coating your patio furniture. Spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold vanish! Bonus: It can also be used in the bathroom and kitchen.

I have a few leftovers to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —AdeliaGet 10 sq. feet of tiles from Amazon for $77.99 Mask high-traffic areas with stepping stones, which will create a beautiful walkway for you and your guests to enjoy. Pouring concrete can be a big undertaking but this is a quick, easy, and affordable alternative! If you want to recreate the look above, don't forget to purchase a bag of red lava rock as well!Promising reviews: "It's a great product, exactly what I needed and the price was right. Purchased 40 so far for a path that my dogs use so they don't destroy the grass chasing squirrels." —xaqeria"Home Depot rarely lets me down. These stepping stones made a beautiful walkway from my driveway to the main walkway in the front yard." —CherokeeSmilesGet it from Home Depot for $1.78/each (available in four sizes and various finishes).

So we bought a second one for our front porch since we wanted a bench there — made sense to add some storage at the same time!" —bluegrassgrl03Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in graphite and brown). Slather wood surfaces in some wood polish and conditioner to bring 'em back to life. It's made with beeswax to help renew tired furniture, doors, and other surfaces that are in desperate need of a refresh. Promising review: "I bought this after reading about a million BuzzFeed articles recommending it. I wish I hadn't waited so long because this stuff works! It's amazing. I have a mid-century hand-me-down dresser that is a beautiful piece of furniture, but it was covered in water stains and other marks from decades of use. One coat of this stuff on a clean rag, and it's totally refreshed! Now, it's not going to fix places where the finish is completely worn off (you have to sand for that), but it will significantly improve the appearance of the wood. And it makes watermarks disappear. I'm glad I didn't spend the time and money to have this refinished when a coat of this stuff has done the job just fine." —Maureen FoleyGet it from Amazon for $10.98 (also available in multipacks).

Then I discovered these! It's still a difficult job but these do make it SO much easier. I've attached before and after photos. Pretty amazing!

I've Tested Countless Swimsuits, and These Tankinis Are My Vacation Favorites—From $28

When it comes to travel essentials, tossing a swimsuit or two in your carry-on is always a good idea. Summer is the perfect time to treat yourself to new vacation swimwear that's versatile, comfortable, and flattering. If you love the convenience of a two-piece, but prefer a little more coverage than your typical bikini, you'll be happy to know tankinis are trending again—and today's styles are more flattering than ever. The best part? Tankinis are perfect for mixing and matching, so you can shop for separates as well as sets. Keep scrolling for my favorite tankini swimsuits from Boden, Summersalt, Cupshe, and more shopper-loved swimsuit brands, starting at $28. Best Tankini Swimsuits Cupshe V-neck Criss-cross Ruched Tankini Amazon I recently took this Cupshe tankini on a Colorado road trip and was pleasantly surprised at how stylish and functional it was. The top provided impressive lift and support, and the ruching was so flattering, I even posted a few selfies on Instagram from my waterfall hike to Treasure Falls. I loved wearing this suit to the hotel pool, then just slipping on pants and wearing the top like a tank when I had to run back to the room or stop by the lobby bar. Travel + Leisure Carve Designs Stinson Tankini Amazon There are so many great tankini tops at Amazon, like this style from Carve Designs. Keep things simple by grabbing a basic bikini bottom and then mixing and matching with different tops. This black tankini from Carve Designs has a built-in shelf bra, removable pads, and an athletic back. It also comes with a UPF 50+ rating for optimal sun protection. One Amazon reviewer raved about its comfort, saying it was 'very, very comfortable' and 'stays put all day.' Beachsissi V-neck Tummy Control Tankini Amazon If you haven't tried a V-neck, ruched swimsuit, I'm here to tell you it's an extremely flattering style—especially in a tankini. Seriously, once you slip into this Beachsissi tankini set, you'll be ready to head to the pool or beach with confidence. I love the selection of solid tops and floral print bikini bottoms. My favorites are the sky blue top with cornflower bottoms and the light pink top with orange blossom bottoms. Tommy Hilfiger Classic Bikini Bottom Amazon If you're looking for a basic bikini bottom to pair with a variety of tankini tops, this Tommy Hilfiger is it. This classic bottom provides UPF 50+ sun protection, comes in a variety of colors, and earns top reviews for comfort and rear coverage. One shopper praised the cut of the bottom, saying, '[It's] hard to find a suit with good rear coverage. This one is perfect.' Boden Enhancer Tankini Top Boden If you're seeking a swimsuit with great support, look no further. A halter-style tankini with a true built-in bra (underwire and padded cups), the Enhancer Tankini from Boden was made to flatter. According to reviewers, the suit works well for both small and large busts, with a 38DD shopper saying it fit perfectly, and another small-busted reviewer noting, 'This tankini top is super flattering on my modest 34A bust. It fits really well without any gaping, and the padding gives a much-needed bit of shape.' Lands' End Tulip Hem Tankini Top Land's End Lands' End has gone all in on tankinis. With five fit categories (classic length, modern length, midkini length, high neck, and plus-size) and dozens of styles, it's easy to find the cut and color that best suits your body type. The Tulip Hem Tankini Top offers even more choices, with nearly 20 colors and patterns to choose from, as well as petite, regular, and long torso options. A built-in bra and adjustable straps ensure comfort, while the tulip hemline flatters your midline. Bonus: The fabric is chlorine-resistant, so go ahead and hit the pool without worrying about damage. That goes for you, too, since this tankini comes with UPF 50 sun protection. Summersalt Cinched Square-neck Tankini Top Summersalt I own more than a few tankinis, but I couldn't resist adding this cute Summersalt pick to my cart. It has ruching, and it's adjustable. Also, the wide straps and flirty side bows are fun additions. Plus, it includes a shelf bra and the elusive sewn-in cups. You can feel good about the fabric too—it's made with recycled post-consumer materials, including old fishing nets pulled from the ocean. La Blanca Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top Amazon I'm a longtime La Blanca swimsuit fan. They know a woman's body, and I have multiple swimsuits from the brand that not only look great, but the quality stands up over time. This Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top has wide supportive straps, a sexy plunging neckline, and flattering tummy ruching. And if ocean swimming and body surfing are on your vacation schedule, reviewers claim it stays perfectly in place in the water. Patagonia Cami Tankini Top REI As you would expect, REI has several sporty tankini options. I like this Cami Tankini Top from Patagonia that reminds me of my favorite yoga sports bra.

12 Best Outdoor Benches To Upgrade Your Yard

A two-person acacia wood woven rope bench that's as pretty as it is comfortable. This will be the perfect place to sit outdoors while you scroll TikTok for hours (just don't forget the sunscreen). A wicker bench with a cushion to turn any corner of your yard into a sit-and-stay-a-while spot. The weather-resistant frame and cushion will handle summer storms without a fuss, and its 700-pound capacity means it'll hold you, your favorite person, and maybe even a tray of lemonade with ease. Promising review: "Holds over 600 pounds with ease, much nicer than the price point suggests. It's deep enough from front to back to sit comfortably. The cushion is comfortable, and the slight give of the weaving underneath the cushion makes a very soft, supportive seat. I am very, very impressed with the quality of this bench, especially considering that similar benches cost two to three times as much. I kind of expected this bench to have cut corners, and was very pleased to find that the quality is equal to much more expensive benches. I highly recommend this product!" —B BaGet it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in 14 color combos). A storage bench if you need a comfy perch *and* a place to stash your outdoor stuff. The waterproof eucalyptus frame will stand up to the elements, while the easy lift-seat hides a roomy compartment lined to keep your things clean and dry. Promising review: "I bought this bench a year and a half ago, and I purposely waited to post this review until I had the opportunity to see how the bench would hold up. Well, it looks just as nice and works just as well as when I first purchased it! It's attractive and sturdy. I keep it outside, by my front door. The seat lifts up, with plenty of WATERPROOF storage underneath. I keep my mucking boots, running shoes, etc., in this bench, and everything has consistently stayed dry, even in the most blustery storms. I love the appearance and functionality of this product. It was well worth the price! Highly recommend!" —MHGet it from Amazon for $156.99+ (available in two widths). Or a resin storage bench if you prefer something with no upkeep. This 70-gallon option is made from weather-resistant resin that won't crack, peel, or need seasonal oiling, perfect if you want a seat that lives outside year-round with zero fuss. It's also really roomy, which is perfect for storing bulkier gear like pool floats or garden tools. Promising review: "This was a surprisingly nice build. Good for a small backyard; stores random tools and garden hoses. No water gets inside, either. Highly recommend." —YUNI it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in two colors). A brightly colored outdoor bench with a contemporary pattern that'll bring a pop of personality to your outdoor space. It's built from weather-resistant metal with a floral cutout back that's as pretty as it is sturdy. With an 800-pound capacity, it'll easily seat you and a couple of friends for morning coffee or an afternoon chat. Promising review: "I ordered this bench as soon as I saw it advertised. I am very happy with it. It is very sturdy. I just love it. I placed it in my garden (more for decoration) and find that I am actually using it. It shows up nicely from the road and adds a lot of character to my garden." —DutchGet it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in seven colors). A metal backless bench to slip seamlessly into any outdoor setup. Its weather-resistant faux wood top and metal frame keep things simple, modern, and low-maintenance, while the streamlined shape makes it perfect for pairing with a dining table for placing along a garden path. Promising review: "This picnic bench is incredibly sturdy and well-made. The stainless steel gives it a clean, modern look, and it feels heavy and durable — definitely built to last. It's a great match for my outdoor setup and is easy to keep clean. Very happy with the quality!" —RobertGet it from Wayfair for $87.99. A poly lumber bench that looks like real wood but won't rot, chip, or fade. Made from 100% recycled materials, it's heavy-duty enough to hold 700 pounds without flexing, yet compact enough for porches or smaller garden spots. All of the charm of wood seating, none of the upkeep. Psilvam is a small business that sells outdoor furniture. Promising review: "One of the best buys I've ever made. It's tricky to find a bench that is comfortable without trying it first. This bench is comfy, well-made, lovely color, and fits perfectly in the place we had in mind. The weight and quality are better than any we examined in person at local retail. Very happy." —E. it from Amazon for $197.99+ (available in seven colors). An acacia wood bench for bringing timeless warmth to your patio, garden, or even poolside. Its slatted back and seat let rainwater drain away, so you're never stuck drying it off before you sit, and the 800-pound capacity means you can share it with a friend or two.

A cast-iron bench with a pullout middle table that pops up when you need a spot for drinks or snacks, then folds back down to become a regular bench. Great for you and a pal to crack open a bottle and do a marathon watch of your favorite show, or for providing extra seating for big backyard gatherings. Promising review: "This is a nice bench! I am not at all concerned about it holding up outside. The table in the middle is so convenient. We have left ours up since we got it, since it's usually just my husband and I sitting on it, but it's nice to know we can put it down if we need extra seating. It is as comfortable as any other metal bench, which is to say some cushions might be in my future if we start spending more time out there." —Shannon Robinson Get it from Amazon for $105.99. A butterfly bench if your outdoor space needs a whimsical focal point. It's as durable as it is eye-catching, making it a statement piece you'll admire every time you step outside.

Promising review: "Easy to put together, comfortable, and perfect as a match to the single Adirondack chair purchased separately. It works better for a sitting area near the barbecue. No need to buy four or more separate Adirondack chairs for an outdoor patio setting." —Austin Get it from Wayfair for $253.99+ (available in two colors).
