If you've been putting off washing your hair for way too long, then you're gonna love this dry shampoo foam.
1. A popular long-lasting eyeliner stamp so you can always boast the perfect winged eyeliner with zero of the skill or time needed to achieve such an expert look. No need to worry about ruining your carefully crafted line after procrastinating doing your makeup, forcing you to rush through it — this stamp has got you covered!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.
The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty.
Promising review:"Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before and they were so watery and not close to a dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" — Elizabeth
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
2. Painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pens to brighten each and every tooth so that your smile is as ✨ shiny ✨ as can be. This pen is so easy to use, works super fast, and gives amazing results — which is perfect considering how little time you have to fidget with those expensive, traditional strips you keep procrastinating putting on.
Promising review:"Exceptionally easy to use even for lazy people like me. I saw good gradual results despite only using once daily — very happy as I cannot tolerate trays and hate strips!" — belle rouge
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in three other sizes).
3. A Revlon hot air brush so you can fix up your hair in just one easy step. This baby can dry, style, straighten, and add some volume without having to mess with about 50 other products. Just step out of the shower, turn this magic wand on, and brush!
Promising review:"I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years and I couldn't be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blow outs! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. Only caveat I have come across so far: the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" — ERJ
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in 11 styles).
4. And a blowout spray if you've been procrastinating going to the salon because you really don't want to spend half your day there. With this, you won't have to do that or spend forever fiddling with a blow-dryer because it will cut your hair-drying time by half (!!) — while also helping to eliminate frizz and tangles. Now, you can focus on the important things in life, like figuring out the perfect shoes to match your brunch 'fit.
Promising review: "You need this! Super soft hair and cuts drying time! This stuff is seriously magic. I have thick hair and I hate drying it because it just takes so long. I separate it, pin it up and spray the bottom half and dry and then do the top. It's perfect! Agree with some of the other folks that said you need to find the perfect amount...too much you could be greasy. But you'll only do that once. Regardless it smells amazing and your hair will be so soft! Get this!" — Jessica W
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in five sizes).
5. Eyeshadow color removal sponges because your makeup brushes are still clinging onto the golden glitter eyeshadow from the weekend before, and you reallyyyyy don't have time to clean your brushes since you're already late to work. Just rub this brush against the sponge, and it'll un-cling even the darkest of shades — your weekday neutral look can now proceed in peace.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Here's what BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has to say about it:"I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful) and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"
Promising review: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." — Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available as a pack of four).
6. A rapid egg cooker so you're not hovering over the stove waiting for your eggs to get to that perfectly cooked point of hot enough to eat...but also not overdone. After all, who has time to sit there and cook eggs the traditional way when you're already running late getting the kids to school?
This device cooks up eggs in any style: hard-boiled, poached, omelet, or scrambled.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says,"I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it. (I like mine medium-boiled. 🍳) If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra oomph to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!"
Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I'm testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." — Gina
Get it from Amazon for $16.18+ (available in six colors).
7. Glamorous reusable magnetic lashes perfect for anyone who refuses to fiddle with glue when they're already running a bit (read: a lot) behind schedule. These stick right onto the included eyeliner, so you can have those showstopping lashes more easily than ever before.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" The easiest lashes to apply!! With traditional lashes I really struggled because my hand wasn't as steady and my eye would flutter while trying to put them on, but with the magnetic liner the lashes just latch on to the liner with no problem once the liner is semi dry. Definitely will buy a second set to have on deck. I recommend for those who struggle with regular lashes!" — Tamara
Get an five-piece set from Amazon for $18.99.
8. A tub of magical cleaning paste The Pink Stuff you'll want to keep on hand when those kiddos have been scribbling all over your walls, guests are due to arrive for a dinner party, and you've procrastinated the whole cleaning thing. Don't put your all into scrubbing — all you need to do is coat this stuff on any stains and simply wipe it away. This works on just about everything — bathtubs, faucets, stovetops, tennis shoes, walls covered in crayon. Everything.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"When I bought my house in 2017, the upstairs bathroom had a shower that was nasty. I thought 'no problem' because I'll just use elbow grease and clean it up. I scrubbed and scrubbed and scraped and used everything under the sun. NOTHING worked!!! UNTIL...The Pink Stuff. This stuff has done what no other cleaning product, no amount of elbow grease, no amount of cursing, no amount of anything of anything else has ever done. I'm relatively convinced it's made with tears of the gods or just some magic that I wish I discovered years ago. My tub looks brand-new!!!" — MNee
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.
9. A nonstick microwave pasta cooker that you can just shove into the microwave after you put off making dinner (and now it's super late). Not only does it save you the pain of having to clean up a bunch of dishes, but with a built-in pasta strainer, you don't even have to worry about loose tendrils of spaghetti falling into your sink! A much-needed addition to any busy chef's kitchen.
Amazon
Promising review:"I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient, and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big clean up afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap." — Smilin Sam
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
10. A waterless dry shampoo *foam* because sometimes that alarm just does not go off (or ya hit snooze like 50 times... same thing), and you really don't have time for an actual shower, but you still need to revive those greasy locks. This will bring some volume to your hair without leaving behind any residue or powder (like some other dry shampoos might).
Amazon
Promising review:"I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It's wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can't go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." — Amelia Tilton
Get it from Amazon for $9.69.
11. A pack of self-adhesive eyeshadow shields, perfect for making sure you're not wasting time during your makeup routine tryna fix up the eyeshadow fallout or accidental smears. It'll even help you create that perfect winged eyeliner or smokey eyeshadow look, so you don't have to sit there practicing for wayyy too long trying to get it justtt right.
Amazon
Promising review:"I've been a certified makeup artist for 12 years. Used for my cousin's wedding makeup, and they worked really well as far as catching fallout and shaping goes, but taking them off, they really stick, so just be gentle. Still great." — Andrea
Get a box of 120 pieces from Amazon for $6.99.
12. A weekly Wet & Forget shower cleaner because you've procrastinated cleaning your shower, and your parents will be ringing the bell soon. 😅 Now you can continue your Love Island marathon without the need to set a timer and go back to man's worst enemy: scrubbing. Just spray it, literally forget about it, and rinse it later on — no manual labor required.
Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and three sizes).
13. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll bubble up to help remove and prevent smelly buildup. Just drop the whole packet in and let the suds wash away the odor that's been permeating in your kitchen for weeks.
Amazon
Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica House
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.56 (available in three quantities).
14. A well-loved "defunk" spray because, honestly, who has the time to wash their hair in the morning on a work day? But also, you don't want your coworkers giving you the side eye 👀 when they catch a whiff of your hair. This will have your precious locks smelling like chamomile and lavender instead of... ya know... sweat.
Amazon
Uncle Funky's Daughter is a Black woman-owned company that was acquired by Renee Morris in 2014. She has used her own 20+-year natural-hair journey to expand the natural haircare line.
Promising review:"Smells so good and is not overbearing at all. I've tried a lot on my locks and this is the best I've found in five years!" — Loe55
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
15. Or a Pacifica fragrant mist you can spray on your hair and body if you wanna go around smelling like a walking, talking tropical vacation 🏝️ (despite the fact that you procrastinated getting ready and ran out of time for a full shower).
Promising review:"I was looking for something to spray on days I didn't wash my hair. This is WONDERFUL! It smells like the tropics. I just got it and already have had so many compliments." — Meredith Coartney
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in 23 scents).
16. A miraculous veggie chopper that can ease the cooking process and stop the flood of tears when slicing onions. The endless minutes spent tediously slicing and chopping each ingredient are gone. Just place your veggie, swiftly press down the lid, and voila! Instantly chopped pieces ready to be cooked.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five styles and four colors).
17. A jar of Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp to bring some extra spice to your lazy meal. This jar is perfect for those of you who want a delicious flavor-filled meal but don't feel like actually cooking it — just drop a spoonful of this condiment into any plain cup of instant ramen and turn your quick dinner into an elaborate gourmet meal with zero hassle.
Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned small business that makes sauces, seasonings, and dumplings featuring flavors from Sichuan.
Here's what BuzzFeed contributor Brittany Ross says about it:"Ever since my sister introduced me to this life-changing condiment, I've slathered it on pretty much everything I could think of — from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. It's got a kick, yes, and while I'm a big fan of spicy food, the thing I love most about this chili crisp is that it also has great flavor that doesn't get overpowered by the heat, which happens with so many other spicy sauces. That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner in a matter of seconds. PS: Some people even swear by it as an ice cream topping!"
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three sizes and three flavors).
18. A hair thinner and cutter so you don't have to make that $100+ hair appointment you've been putting off. This lil' tool will make you feel like a professional hairdresser as you trim your bangs from the comfort of your home. (Teenage-year flashbacks, anyone??)
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The razor has two edges, a fine tooth one for thin hair textures, and a wider one for thicker hair textures. (FWIW, people also use this on their pets as a quick grooming solution!)
Promising review:"I recently got a pixie haircut, I was hesitant to get one based on the fact that I'd have to get frequent haircuts, the cost of which would add up quickly. I did some research on YouTube and found some videos using the tinkle hair cutter to trim hair in between salon visits. I LOVE this thing! It is easy to give a little trim or a drastic cut, both of which I have done since getting the tinkle cutter. I was very nervous to try it, fearing that I might mess up my hair so I just did a little bit first, but it was easy and only takes off small amounts of hair at a time, remember, I have a pixie cut — if you have long hair it will cut that off! Basically all you have to do is comb your hair in the direction it grows until you're satisfied with the cut. Seven months post pixie haircut and I have only been to the salon once to have a re-shaping done of my hair. I will say that when the cutter feels like it's 'pulling' your hair, it's time to get new razors. I still prefer my pixie cut to be pretty short and assuming I would have to go to the salon once a month for upkeep I have saved $210 since having my hair cut. TOTALLY WORTH IT!" — brandi in louisiana
Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (also available as a two-pack).
19. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets — just run a regular cycle with one of these inside to clean up all of the gunk and odor-causing residue that can buildup over the course of a few months (or years, let's be honest). Your dishes will come out of the wash looking cleaner and smelling fresher after you stop putting off this task!
It suits all dishwasher machine makes and models. Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!
Promising review: "This really works great for cleaning dishwashers. Don't tell anyone, but I haven't previously cleaned my dishwasher since we bought it about four years ago. It had a decent amount of funk on it and it started to smell funny. That's why I bought these tablets. I used one — put it in the detergent compartment and turned on the dishwasher on normal setting. After the cycle was done, all the sediment from a few years of use was gone and any unpleasant odor was nonexistent. Zero effort required, easy to use, and worth trying!" — Agy
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as a 12-pack).
20. A super-affordable rust stain remover that'll literally cling onto the stain, so you don't actually need to scrub (after putting it off for far too long)! Spray this on basically any surface, like showers, bathtubs, sinks, toilets — and simply walk away for a few minutes! When you come back, your precious tiles will be rust-free. You'll be so freaking happy you might actually shed tears of joy.
Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this spray.
Promising review:"It WORKS!! Since my husband and I moved into our home two years ago, the hard water stains in our shower drove me wild! I tried everything from bleach to all-natural remedies. Nothing worked. Stumbled upon some before and after photos for this product and had to try. Especially for the price! The photos I posted were with minimal scrubbing. The product does all the hard work!!" — Julie Dufour
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four pack sizes).
21. A standing weeder so you can pluck out those unwanted weeds and clean up the lawn without the hassle of bending, pulling, or kneeling! Don't spend hours sweating and trying to manually (and painstakingly) yank them out — just place the tool into the ground above the weed, lean against the handle, and plop it out!
www.amazon.com
This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. The simple lever system is what makes pulling weeds with this so easy!
Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier!
Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. 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! 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
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
22. A mini microwave steamer that will save you the annoyance of having to actually *steam* your veggies. Just toss some frozen vegetables into this dish and throw it into the microwave. Voila — an instant meal is now ready without the hassle of using a pile of dishes or taking an obscene amount of your time.
Amazon
It's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe! Also, it's perfect for parents who are still in that steaming veggies for the baby phase!
Promising review:"For years, I would buy those metal fan-like steamers that adjusted to the size of the pot; a good concept, but the fins would always fall off in short order, and they really were kind of a pain to clean (plus you had to clean the pot too!). This steamer, on the other hand, is ideal for me. It is the perfect size for a single serving and best of all, it's made for the microwave and not a pot on the stovetop. Cleaning is a breeze, and I usually hand-clean it so it's ready for another meal right away. It does take a few tries to figure out the timing for each type of vegetable, but that's okay — they come out crisp and fresh tasting. I'll never buy another metal steamer again. :-)" — dvd
Get it from Amazon for $15.49.
23. A sous vide cooker so you can finally cook that Michelin star–worthy meal without needing to hover over your stove for hours upon hours just watching your pot. Just set the meal to cook and go back to scrolling through Insta from the comfort of your couch — no worries, your Beef Bourguignon will come out perfectly. ✨
The temperature range is 32–197 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooker can be controlled right from your phone, so you don't even have to stay in the kitchen while cooking. It also provides cooking notifications and stays connected through Bluetooth from up to 30 feet away. Plus, you get access to over 1,000 recipes, so you'll have inspiration for yummy meals! Get the Anova app here.
Promising reviews:" For us lazy cookers! I use this at least three times a week. Great so you don't have to stand in the kitchen waiting for your food." — Craig R Payne III
"Since I started cooking sous vide, my family says my cooking has gone to a new level. I started with the original Anova and just recently picked up this Nano. The Nano is awesome because it's much smaller compared to the first Anova, making it easier to store in a drawer. It sounds trivial, but by making it easier to grab, I'm more likely to use it compared to the Anova, which I kept in a special case in the pantry. Setup is so much quicker, and I can cook a beef roast for 30 hours without adding ANY water. If you're just starting out in sous vide, I recommend this cooker." — Jeff Nichols
Get it from Amazon for $78.96.
24. A miraculous automatic bleach toilet-cleaning system that'll have your latrine shining with each and every flush, so you don't get horrified by the mere sight of your toilet bowl after you procrastinated cleaning it for weeks. No scrubbing required!
www.amazon.com
It's super quick to install, and one cartridge can last up to three months!
Promising review:"I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning. It was infuriating, and I found myself cleaning toilets literally two to three times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap, so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now, and from what I'm seeing, I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy. If you have hard water build-up issues, do yourself a favor and buy one of these. Try it on a single toilet first just to be sure, but I think you will be happy :)." — nima bean
Get it from Amazon for $10.59.
25. A microwave rice cooker for anyone who, like me, will never understand the sacred water-to-rice ratio needed to get perfectly cooked rice. You've already procrastinated making dinner, so don't waste any more time trying to figure it out — just toss in some rice and water and watch as it makes perfectly cooked rice every time! My lazy heart just skipped a beat. ❤️
This is dishwasher-safe!
Promising review:"A dorm room necessity! Makes pretty good rice fast and simple. Way tastier than minute rice, and no hassle of buying an expensive rice cooker or using the stove. Definitely recommend to lazy rice lovers or college kids who barely have time to cook real food." — Cristina L
Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in two stayles).
26. A genius microwave- and dishwasher-safe bowl with a removable phone stand (?!?!?) so you can have the absolute perfect Girl Dinner because, let's be honest, you've procrastinated cooking a full meal. This even comes with a handle and a lid, so you can carry it around the house and watch your fave Netflix show as you chow down on that salad. Laziness has been perfected.
Amazon
Promising review: "It's very light, with a huge capacity for soups, salads, mac 'n' cheese, spaghetti, stews, etc. If I didn't have any dishes, this actually would be the only thing I need other than a plate. Love the lid, as you can put it in the microwave, and the top does not blow off. It WILL stain with tomato based sauces. Who cares, as long as I've got my bowl I'm happy! Great for camping as it is virtually weightless. :) It's pretty much indestructible." — Sheryl L. Ketchum
Get it from Amazon for $14.24+ (available in three colors).
27. A butter spreader that's like a lipstick tube for your butter (and seriously, how cool is that?!?!) so you don't need to fiddle with a knife (or need to wash it after) when you're tryna butter up some toast, bagels, or pancakes. After all, you're already late leaving for work and you don't have time to sit there and actually cut and spread butter.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the butter spreader in action.
Promising review: "I remember having a butter holder, exactly like this, for corn when I was growing up. It was nice to find the same one. No more having the butter slip off the corn when applying it with a knife. No more tricks like using a fork and having the butter melt through the tines or how about buttering a slice of bread and wrapping it around the corn and spinning it. It's also great that the butter is covered at one end by the plunger and the other end by a cover. This way, the butter will stay fresh and always ready when you need it." — Allison
Get it from Amazon for $6.95.
28. A HexClad wok because the last thing you wanna do after whippin' up an amazing meal is spend a ridiculous amount of time scrubbing those pans (which you were probably going to put off doing anyway). It's scratch resistant, dishwasher safe, and nonstick. Where has this been all my life?!? 😭
I personally have quite a few HexClad pans and a wok. I LOVE them. They have made the cooking and cleaning process a whole lot easier than it used to be. Heck, because of them, I end up cooking a lot more!
Promising review: "I needed to replace the old one I've owned for many years. Bought this nice HexClad 10' Wok for $95 on sale, with lifetime warranty. It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it, especially, if I'll never have to replace it! Nothing sticks to it, very sturdy, very easy to clean, not too heavy and it does as advertised. I'm looking forward to use this a lot for sti-frying, making fried rice, etc.. I do plan on buying the popular 12-piece set sometime soon." — LAMARIZ@524
Get it from Amazon for $119+ (available in three sizes).
29. A powerful EyeVac touchless vacuum so you don't have to use a dustpan to physically scoop up the crumbs, dust, and hair that you just swept up into a pile. It has infrared sensors that will activate the vacuum automatically to remove dust, dirt, and debris you sweep towards it. Now, you don't have to avoid sweeping!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Where do I start?!?! This is honestly the best thing to have in your house. I sweep my house, and of course, the broom picks up the big stuff, but it's the crumbs/ dirt/ sand, etc, the small stuff where even sweeping into the dustpan can't collect it…. Well, with this device, say no more. I sweep those little crumbs, and it sucks it right up. It's a breeze with the pet hairs as well. It makes cleaning easier. Easy to assemble. Good size, lightweight, and strong suction power." — Rachel Wangrycht
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors).
30. Or a eufy robot mop and vacuum because it's like having a live-in maid who takes up the most tedious of home chores. This baby vacuums, mops, and can be controlled through an app on your phone — so you can have clean floors and rugs from the comfort of your couch without ever needing to pause your New Girl marathon.
Samar Hadri / BuzzFeed
This robot vacuum and mop can even be controlled from Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri!
I love this mop/vacuum combo! So I despise chores (as most people do), and as a busy mom of an infant who also works full time, keeping on top of cleaning is a lot harder that it seems. Between washing and sterilizing bottles, whipping up meals, and tidying up I literally find I don't have enough hours in the day for vacuuming or mopping. And then I got this baby.
All I have to do is click a single button on the app or activate it via my Google Assistant (I named my robot Squidward, so I can say "Squidward, start mopping"). First thing it did was map my home (pictured above), and then it started out the clean cycle. It moped my tile, and once it sensed a rug it switched to a vacuum, so my precious carpet was spared!
I was amazedddd to see how well it cleaned up my floors! Plus, it totally did not crash into any furniture (and with an infant, trust me, there's a lotttt of furniture and gadgets strewn all over the place)!! It's a bit load when it's emptying itself out, but otherwise the actual cleaning portion of it is fairly quiet.
All together, Squidward has proven himself to be an absolute time save for me. I highly recommend!

31. A batter dispenser and mixer to whip up some delicious pancakes or waffles for your family breakfast without worrying about a stack of dirty dishes piling up by the end. This squeezy bottle comes with the genius addition of the ~BlenderBall~, a little ball whisk that will mix up all incorporated ingredients with ease. Just add your ingredients, shake up the bottle to the tune of your favorite song, and pour! Less time to make and less time to clean!

Promising review: "I bought this because I saw a TikTok about it. They really sold me on the video, but this is literally the best thing I could have ever bought off Amazon! When my son and niece are out of school for spring break or summer break, they are always at my house. They HAVE to have pancakes every morning, it seems. Mixing everything in the bowl and trying to pour that into the pan always makes such a mess, I feel. This eliminates the constant dripping off the bowl. It's so easy to use; just throw all the ingredients in the bottom of this bottle, and you're good to go! This is especially helpful with mini muffin pans! I love to make little bites at home, and this has been the best tool in helping make this baking project so much easier. So easy to clean; I just take it all apart, rinse it, and in the dishwasher it goes! Such a great purchase, and if you have littles who need pancakes more than once a week, this is for you!" — Kristian Jones
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
32. A wineglass clip that will secure your fine glassware so you don't have to wash it by hand, afraid it'll tumble and crack in the dishwasher. Just clip it onto the bars in the top rack and sit back to allow your dishwasher to do the heavy cleaning for you.
www.amazon.com
Wine Wash Co. is a small business based in Houston, Texas.
Promising review: "These work with all of our wineglasses, including my Riedels, thin champagne flutes, and crystal wineglasses. Our KitchenAid dishwasher came with a wine rack, but it didn't hold our taller wineglasses, so this little gadget did the trick. Very easy to use. I keep them clipped in between cycles now that I've found a good spot for them. Extra helpful for dinner party clean up. Cheers to never washing wineglasses by hand again!" — Amazon Customer
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $15.
33. An electric mug warmer for slow sippers who don't feel like getting up every 30 minutes to warm up their coffee for the millionth time. Sit back, relax, and don't fret about remembering to turn off the heat pad because it'll automatically turn off in four hours!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Tip: Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once your drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!
Promising review:"This is my third Vobaga coffee warmer. I bought the first one in 2018, and it's still going strong. It keeps my coffee hot to the last drop. It's important to remember it doesn't heat up cold beverages to piping hot. It keeps hot beverages hot." — hottytoddy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors).
34. An "Angry Mama" you can pop into your microwave to loosen up all the food grime and stains that cling on the surface no matter how hard you scrub. Just pour in some water and vinegar and set your microwave to seven minutes. The hot steam she'll blow will make cleaning up as easy as simply wiping grime away.
www.amazon.com
Check out a Tiktok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action.
Promising review:"This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually, it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" — Desiree Barlow

Bryce Dallas Howard Doesn't Care If You Think Her Wearable Electromagnetic Frequency Devices Are Woo-Woo

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There's no right way to 'do' wellness, but Marie Claire's Doing Well offers a glimpse into the self-care mantras, therapies, and affirmations practiced by industry trailblazers. When I finally log into my Zoom with Bryce Dallas Howard—late, thanks to classic tech issues—I expect awkwardness and scrambling. Instead, she smiles big, laughs, and says, "That gave me some extra time to apply my lip!" Her vibe? Down-to-earth, sharp, and quick-witted. Then I clock the product in her hand: the unmistakable bright purple, stacked compact from my newest beauty brand favorite. "Wait—is that Subtl Beauty?" I ask. We instantly bond over a shared "I'm obsessed" before she tells me she discovered it mid-flight, while overhearing the brand's founder in the seat in front of her (hi, Rachel!). "I DMed her as soon as we landed," she laughs. That's when I knew this wasn't going to be your standard celebrity profile. Howard doesn't do small talk or scripted interviews. Chatting with her feels more like catching up with your smartest, most grounded friend—the one who, oh yeah, just directed a Disney+ documentary and is starring in an upcoming Prime Video action-comedy (it premieres June 12 on Amazon, mark your calendar). Between our conversation about Pets (the documentary that was inspired by her personal relationship with animals) and Deep Cover (think improv comedy meets undercover sting operations), it's clear she's been busy. But when I ask how she manages to juggle everything and have a good relationship with wellness at the same time, it becomes clear that Howard's approach isn't about control or perfection. Instead, it's about joy and self-kindness. She's candid about emotional eating, talks openly about walking away from diet culture, and finds happiness in the things she values the most, big or small—like frequency devices, a skincare product she's been scraping from the same jar since 2017, and the cute animal videos she binges that send her into a dopamine spiral. Howard isn't here with a wellness playbook—just real talk about listening to your body, ditching the guilt, and finding calm in the everyday. Oh, and, of course, she's got her lip on. I'm a huge fan of frequency healing. When I'm stressed or feeling overwhelmed, I put on frequency sessions. It helps me drop out of the mental chatter and just be present. I wear these devices—I actually just ordered a new one. It's a Trinity. My mom wears hers pretty much around the clock. My husband's been having sinus issues, so we busted it out for him today. I just really believe in that stuff—frequencies, EMFs, radiation, all of it. It's powerful. I'm very into it. Over the years, I've learned to pay attention to it whenever something pops up. My mom used to get cold sores on her lips, and now she keeps it on the 'cold sore' setting. She hasn't had one in years. It's this thing where you can use sound, vibration, or electromagnetic frequencies to help your body and mind reset and relax. It feels like this deep recalibration. I had my first experience with it a few years ago, and I was like, 'Whoa, what is this?' It's one of those things that sounds woo-woo but actually makes a huge difference in how I feel physically and mentally. I usually reach for something that's calm and doesn't require much brain energy. It's less about active learning and more about a pause. Usually, videos of pets. Online comedy. Laughter is the most powerful form of self-care for me. When I'm feeling really overwhelmed, I like to take a break and watch videos of animals—pets doing silly, joyful things. It's such a quick way to ground myself and bring a little lightness back into the moment. If I have just 10 minutes to reset, I'll watch videos of animals being their goofy, authentic selves. There's something about their pure joy and spontaneity that immediately shifts my mood. That kind of lightheartedness is pure medicine for me. In our hectic lives, we often forget how much animals ground us. That's exactly what I wanted to capture in my new documentary, Pets on Disney+—the deep, sometimes surprising, relationships that enrich our well-being. I basically made Pets as a place to house all those wonderful, funny videos that just make me laugh. The Retrouvé Revitalizing Eye Concentrate. Okay, I'm going to admit something I probably shouldn't...a bottle of this lasts forever. I'm still using one I got in 2017. And I did get another one—basically, I tend to pick one up every time I do a movie. So I got a new one in 2020. But I still have both—they just never seem to run out. You only need the tiniest dab. It's so powerful. Weleda Skin Food. I put it everywhere—especially around my mouth. I'll let it sink in like a moisturizing mask. I use it daily; I have eczema, so I'll use it on my hands too, and it's the only thing that helps. By taking things one day at a time, and trying to stay playful. That also kind of ties in with [my new movie] Deep Cover. I play a comedy improv teacher in the movie. Improv helps you stay present, listen, and build on what's already there. So instead of reaching or constructing something unrealistic, I'm trying to be grounded in the here and now. Laughter, playfulness, staying present, moment to moment. That's what really helps. I paint! I'm finishing up an online fine arts program at the Milan Art Institute—I'm in the portfolio phase right now. Even when I'm not working on portfolio pieces, I'll do watercolor or something. It's constant, I have all my [painting] supplies right here next to me. Being a raw foodist. And it's not a knock on veganism—I'd totally do that again. But I was a vegan raw foodist, and raw food was just one step too far. I did it for three and a half years, and when I stopped, it was a big deal because it became a real health issue, especially during pregnancy and after. I saw four doctors, and each of them said, 'You're missing amino acids and essential nutrients. You need to eat some meat.' I was like, 'No.' The last doctor said, 'Bryce, I completely respect your choice, but you're going to have to decide between your ethics and your future.' It was really emotional starting to incorporate meat again—I felt like I was betraying my values. And it's still something I struggle with: where's this coming from, and what's the real cost of this choice? Because the slaughterhouse industry is incredibly abusive. So yeah, the veganism I still value, but I took it too far with the raw foodism. Still, I've learned a lot from it and kept a lot of those tenets in my life. Well…I could definitely improve. But there are two big things for me: First, I don't diet or try to manipulate what I eat or how I move in order to control how I look. When I stopped doing that—when I stopped trying to fit into a certain size—my health totally turned around. I was finally listening to my body again. It became a collaboration instead of a dictatorship shaped by outside pressure. So not dieting has been huge. I don't let my appearance dictate what goes into my body anymore. The second thing is kind of on the other end of the spectrum—I have celiac, so I can't eat gluten. And in the last few years, I developed a pretty severe allergy to eggs. I can still eat eggs if they're baked into something, but if I have scrambled eggs? Whoa. I get just so, so sick. Then, about two years ago, I started to get a very similar reaction to coffee, so I had to give that up as well. Now, more than ever, I am careful not to be restrictive in any way that isn't medically necessary, because there are already so many foods I literally can't have. But hot chocolate works great. Honestly, better [than coffee]. I need a shirt that says 'Powered by Hot Chocolate.' I'd talk about dieting. I'd say: if you knew with certainty that no matter what you did physically, or what you ate, it would have zero impact on your weight or size—how would you eat? How would you move? That kind of framing forces you to reconnect with what you actually enjoy and what actually feels good. It shifts your relationship with your body into something supportive and appreciative. I really believe in the power of emotional eating. I think it's beautiful. People demonize it, but to me, emotional eating can be a way to ground yourself, reconnect, even heal. When you can make food choices that reflect how you feel and you're not judging yourself—that's holistic wellness. I stopped dieting ten years ago, and healing that relationship has been miraculous for me. I've raised my kids that way too, and they're so much more in tune with their own needs than I ever was. I say 'healthy' with caution, but they have a grounded relationship with food. One of them doesn't like meat and just naturally avoids it. The other one doesn't like sugar. They crave salads. It's wild. Of course, there was a lot of brainwashing growing up—in the '80s, '90s, early 2000s—about how we should relate to food. What I'm saying might not work for everyone, but it works for me. I feel empowered not to change myself through things that don't actually serve or support me.

The Independents Acquires Culinary Studio We Are Ona

Fashion communications conglomerate The Independents has acquired culinary studio We Are Ona. Founded in Paris in 2019 by chef and Noma alumnus Luca Pronzato, We Are Ona produces immersive dinners, including for Chanel, Balenciaga, Coperni, Alaïa and Saint Laurent. After working together on various projects for clients over the past few years, joining forces felt inevitable, said Independents co-founder and chief executive Isabelle Chouvet. 'We started to collaborate a lot and then it was natural that we had to officialise this union,' said Chouvet. '[Pronzato] is the only one doing what he's doing. He is able to push the boundaries of innovation, he is the only one who has the network of talents. He has the vision and understands the client's needs.' We Are Ona collaborates with artists like Willo Perron, who has staged shows for Beyoncé and Drake; Carsten Höller, known for his interactive installations; and Michelin-starred chefs including Dalad Kambhu and Mory Sacko. Beyond producing events for brands, the firm hosts pop-ups open to the public, most recently a restaurant experience featuring a dramatic, 100-feet-long sculptural lighting installation in New York's WSA Building with fashion show producer Alexandre de Betak (whose Bureau Betak was acquired by The Independents in 2021) in May. The set of a We Are Ona-produced dinner for Balenciaga. (Courtesy) Being under The Independents' umbrella will help We Are Ona continue expansion in the US (where it opened an office earlier this year), the Middle East and Asia, said Pronzato. This marks The Independents' first acquisition in the culinary space; it comes as foodie culture reaches a new zenith, and as food becomes an increasingly important tool fashion brands use to engage their customers. When it comes to food, fashion brands are raising the stakes — looking for high-production events that double as marketing moments: 'It's not only dinner to have a dinner, it's dinner to create a brand moment,' said Pronzato. 'These experiences can create an emotional link. When you sit at the table, the experience is different than when you buy a bag.' The acquisition is The Independents' third this year, and part of an ongoing spree that began in 2023 when it set its sights on doubling in size. In April, The Independents bought design studio 2x4 and in May, Paris-based documentary production company Terminal 9 Studios. Now, the company has over 20 agencies in its ranks and counts over 1,200 employees in offices across cities including Barcelona, Beijing, London, Los Angeles, Milan, New York, Seoul, Shanghai and Paris. Group revenue totalled $800 million in 2024, according to the company.
