Like the perfect white maxi skirt for spring, a curved pen that magically makes your brows look fluffy and full, and a genius cat water fountain you never have to clean.
1. A Wavytalk blow dryer and diffuser that weighs just 1 pound, so if your arm tends to hurt while styling your hair, this lightweight cutie might do the trick. (It would also be great for kids interested in learning to do their own hair!) It comes with a diffuser attachment to help enhance any natural curls, or you can swap on the concentrator nozzle for a sleek look. It also folds in half for easier storage and travel!
See one curly-haired person use it to style their mane on TikTok!
Promising reviews: "I have thick, very natural curly hair, and I generally let it air dry, which takes about four hours. As a senior, I have three other hair dryers that are too heavy and cumbersome to use, so I don't. This is very workable, compact, lightweight even with the diffuser, and hair dries in 20 minutes. The pink is pleasing, the price is unbelievable. Really thinking about purchasing another and stashing it up in my closet, just in case." — Sandy
"My 9-year-old wants to do her own hair now. The blow-dryer I had in her bathroom was big, bulky, and heavy, making it harder for her. I got this, and it was the perfect solution. It's light and smaller. It leaves her hair shiny and smooth, too. It doesn't take her very long to blow-dry her hair now." — Emma
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three colors).
2. A curved, dual-ended brow pen designed to create tiny hair-like strokes on your brows, leaving them looking naturally full and fluffy even if your actual brows are, well, hanging on for dear life. It's waterproof *and* smudge-proof, so you can rest assured your faux brow hairs won't go disappearing on you midday.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it in action on TikTok! If this brand seems ~familiar~, you might've seen their genius eyeliner stamp before (it's no stranger to BuzzFeed posts) — this "hair-like" brow pen is just their latest piece of wizardry.
Promising review: "Honestly, it's the first time I've ever tried something like this, and I'm blown away. I'm the first to admit, I'm not in any way an eyebrow pro, but this brow pen is absolutely the best thing ever. The formula is smooth as silk and, impressively, stays put all day without smudging. It's truly amazing. What sets it apart is the unique brush tip. It's designed to create incredibly natural, hair-like strokes. Plus, the curved design helps fill in sparse areas perfectly. I've finally found a product that makes my brows look naturally full and defined, even with my less-than-steady hand! 10/10 would recommend to anyone." — Lisa Marie
Get it from Amazon for $15.97 (available in eight shades).
3. A dreamy pleated maxi skirt — if you've been looking for the perfect white maxi skirt as the weather warms up, go ahead and hit "add to cart." This'll look *GORG* whether you pair it with a cropped tee, fitted blouse, or slouchy sweater! It comes in a bunch of solid colors and prints, and reviewers say it's not too see-through thanks to the two-tier design.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it on TikTok.
Promising review: "Perfect coastal cowgirl vibes. It's super cute, comfy, and fits like a gem. The material is great — it's not see-through and fits true to size." — Grace
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 42 styles).
4. An anti-spill nail polish holder stand — where was this back in our teenage years?? This doodad suctions onto any smooth surface so an accidental knock won't send red nail polish spilling onto your white carpet, and it even hinges to face your direction. Oh, and it fits any size bottle, even square ones!
Get a closer look at it on TikTok.
Promising review: "Will never paint my nails without this product again! I have regular-size bottles and ones that are a little bigger than a regular size, and both fit just fine. There's also rubber along the top so the nail polish isn't loose at all and very easy to use. You can also tilt it however you want or keep it straight, perfect for doing nails on a table or your lap." — slewanick
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in eight colors).
5. A whimsical, hand-drawn cat print ready to brighten up your bathroom and remind everyone to wash their dang paws before exiting.
This isn't a digital download; they'll ship the actual poster to you un-framed! If you'd like the framed version, that's available here!
Kinder Planet is a woman-led, UK-based small business offering all sorts of cute art (all hand-drawn, either traditionally or digitally). You can see this print and more of their unique creations on TikTok!
Promising review: "This lil guy is perfectly positioned in our bathroom. Couldn't be happier. Paper quality was great and a fab addition to our home." — Riley Doodles
Get it from Kinder Planet on Etsy for $15.44+ (originally $16.25+; available in 10 sizes and three colors), or $45.07+ for the framed version (originally $47.44+; available in seven sizes and three framed colors).
6. Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream if you crave a foundation alternative that's dewy and lightweight but also provides decent coverage. With SPF 42 (and PA+++), it offers more than adequate sun protection for daily wear, so it's a great one-and-done product that won't feel heavy or cakey.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
In case you're not familiar with it, PA stands for "Protection Grade of UVA" and is a four-level rating system that's more common in Asia. In this case, PA+++ just means this product offers a high level of protection against UVA rays, which don't cause sunburn but rather cause the skin to turn brown.
Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, but I had to for this BB cream. I don't like wearing heavy makeup in the summer, but I also have rosacea, so I want something that feels lightweight but covers enough redness. This covered ALL of it, and it feels like I barely have anything on!! I just have this BB cream and some pressed powder on [pictured above, right]. I'm in the shade Warm Beige, and it's a perfect match. ALSO SPF 40?! Love, love, love, I'm about to buy a second bottle just to have!" — Mika
Get it from Amazon for $9.50 (available in seven shades).
The shade range is unfortunately pretty limited for this product — if you're looking for another option in this price range, check out E.l.f's Camo CC Cream!
7. Some '90s-inspired flowery Dr. Martens sandals — the iconic boots brand is channeling both nostalgia and comfort with this adorable spring/summer style that'll let your toes breathe. Give your combat boots some much-deserved rest, because these floral cutouts are *begging* to see some action at music festivals and park days.
Dr. Martens
Check 'em out on TikTok! Unfortunately, the brown pair is currently sold out (thanks, TikTok 😒), but the black and sage green versions are still available!
Get them from Dr. Martens for $150 (available in sizes 5–12 and three colors).
8. And some heeled Converse loafers here to ~elevate~ any 'fit by adding some preppy flair, with cushioning that makes them surprisingly comfortable despite the thick lugged heel. Who would've thought your trusty Chuck Taylor high-tops would have such a chic cousin?
Converse
Here's the TikTok that alerted me to these! Converse recommends ordering a half size up.
Promising review: "I can't even begin to describe how much I love these shoes! I was so surprised and excited when I got them. Not only are they utterly unique and stunning, but they are comfortable. The heels afford a significant height increase without being heavy or unwieldy. The somewhat collegiate design of the tassels on the top are just adorable! The style overall is incredibly versatile. These shoes could be worn to go out dancing, attend a class or even just going to the store, though the last example would be a waste of how beautiful they are! I get compliments every time I wear these. Love, love love!!!" — Anastasia B.
Get them from Converse for $120 (available in women's sizes 5–12, men's sizes 3–10, and two colors).
9. A set of four silicone burger holders solving that oh-so-specific but oh-so-universal problem of burger juices seeping onto your fingers and dripping onto your shirt and car seat after taking a delicious bite. The accordion-style design lets them stretch to accommodate even your quarter-pounder with ALL the toppings, while the U-shape means you can still dig in with ease. And parents of messy eaters? Yeah, I think you can see the appeal immediately.
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "Perfect. I needed some more burger holders, specifically to match my accessories and aesthetic. These are absolutely perfect. Throw one in each of your bags for those times when you want to eat on the go without making a big flopping dripping mess. Saves your clothes, hands, napkins and sandwiches + wraps of all kinds while looking stylish. They fits any burger (they're perfect for the Burger King Impossible Whopper, which runs big). The accordion-style of the design makes it expandable but also roomy enough to catch mess when eating smaller burgers or sandwiches too. Won't tear on you and get in your mouth like the wrapper after taking a bite. Picnics, barbecues, cookouts, day trips, road trips, long commutes, walking-while-munching... you need to buy these, ok? You can also use them for eating fruits. Mangos, peaches, apples, watermelon. Tired of fruit stains on the kiddos' shirts during the summer?" — 3N☆°
Get a set of four from Amazon for $10.99 (available in five colored sets).
10. A charming ribboned vest perfect for layering over dresses, T-shirts, collared button-downs, and more — she's ✨ versatile ✨ and comfy thanks to the boxy shape! Each side has a lovely ribbon tie so you can adjust the fit if you like.
See how one person styled the navy blue version on TikTok!
Get it from Olive Clothing for $85 (available in S/M and M/L sizes; also available in a long style and other colors, including denim, navy, and beige gingham).
11. Saemmy's Ade Shot Tint, a Korean water-gel lip tint with buildable color and a luscious, glossy finish that's not sticky *or* heavy. This tea-themed collection is designed to moisturize your lips first and foremost (as a dry skin girl, I'm cheering), but as the gloss inevitably wears off throughout the day, it'll leave you with a nice, natural stain — perfect if you're a bit lazy and don't feel like reapplying.
Get a closer look at it on TikTok!
Promising review: "I'm absolutely obsessed with this Korean lip tint! The Lychee Chamomile shade is a gorgeous, soft hue that enhances your lips with a natural, plump glow. The water-gel formula is so lightweight and comfortable — you barely feel it on your lips! What I love most is the buildable coverage. You can go from a sheer wash of color to a more vibrant look without worrying about it feeling heavy or cakey. The moisturizing finish keeps my lips soft and smooth, and it lasts impressively long without fading unevenly. The packaging is compact and adorable, making it perfect for touch-ups on the go. If you're looking for a versatile, comfortable lip product with a radiant finish, this is it." — Panama City Beach, FL
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six shades and in two-packs).
12. The AquaPurr 4, which caught my eyes immediately as a cat mom — I love having an automatic fountain for my kitties, but they require regular cleaning and new filters, and sometimes they can be loud! This clever gadget connects directly to a sink faucet and *never* needs cleaning because it's never recirculating water — your fur baby is always getting fresh H20 directly from the tap, like humans do. If you have a cat who's picky about water (and tries to drink from the sink already), this could be a game changer for both of you!
This has three water connection options: a diverter valve that connects to your faucet, a plumbing tee valve that connects to your water line under your sink or at your toilet, and a garden hose connector.
Note: If you have a black cat, the brand recommends buying this motion sensor version that can detect *any* color of cat, including black. However, this version has to be corded (it can't run on batteries), and the range of motion can only be reduced to 3 feet. (The standard device is also activated by motion sensor, but it can't detect some black cats!)
AquaPurr is a small business based in Castle Rock, Colorado. You can see their fountain in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "My elderly gentleman started to cry at night for me to turn on the bathroom faucet, which was keeping me up. AquaPurr is the best kitty purchase decision I've made in a long time! Installation was easy and my cat started using it right away. He's all black so we got the one with the special sensor and it works great — even in the dark. We love it so much, I bought a second one for my mom's house, where he stays when I'm traveling. Now I can get some good sleep and my senior will stay hydrated!" — Rocia A.
Get it from AquaPurr for $119 (available battery-powered or corded, with three water connection options) or from Amazon for $129 (all options available on their store page).
13. Aaand a stylish Cat-e-Corner scratching post so your feline can flex their claws on this instead of your beloved West Elm sofa. Made of solid wood with replaceable sisal fiber strips on the side, it's a wonderfully elegant solution to one of the biggest cat owner problems — and as a huge bonus, it doubles as a side table!
Hilde & Phil is the small business behind the Cat-e-Corner. Named after the founder's two beloved cats, Hilde & Phil created this functional piece of furniture with sustainability in mind — it's built to last, and they sell replacement sisal fiber Velcro strips and wooden risers (to adjust the height) on their store, so this won't be one of those cat products that ends up in the trash.
Promising review: "There's elegance in its simplicity. This sleek, sturdy piece is a favorite of mine and my cats. Its space-saving design allows a place for soda-side beverages, remotes, phone, etc., and plenty of space to sharpen claws safely. I'm not sure why it took this long for someone to develop this item, but I'm sure glad they did. The piece tucks into the side of my couch, so it isn't bulky. I'm loving that once it wears out, I can replace the sisal scratching area with a new Velcro-d one. Easy as pie." — April C.
Get it from Hilde & Phil for $379+ (available in left or right styles, in maple or black walnut, and with optional risers).
14. A glossy iPhone case in the style of an oil painting — it could hang in a museum if it wasn't so busy dressing up your phone and protecting it from accidental drops. Reviewers say the wavy edges actually make it easier to grip than other cases!
See it on TikTok!
Promising reviews: "Love the floral detail on this case. The iridescent color is beautiful and I loved the scallop trim! Phone is easy to grip, the buttons are easy to access, and overall this is a fun floral case. 🌸" — Rmarie
"I drop my phone ALL the time, and this case truly has surprised me in being protective! I would say I actually drop my phone LESS now because the material of the case isn't as slippery as some, and it also has the waves on the side to act as extra grips for your fingers. The color and design are gorgeous! I probably get more compliments on this case than any other phone case I have ever purchased." — Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 11 colors and 17 sizes for iPhone; also available for Samsung Galaxy 24, 24+, and 24 Ultra).
15. L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blur-Fection, a longwear loose setting powder that might be actual witchcraft with the way it blurs your skin after applying other makeup — almost like your pores are saying, "Bye, clocking out!!" There's a regular translucent version and a pink brightening version, each of which comes in a lighter shade and a darker shade to work for deeper complexions.
Target
PLEASE check out this TikTok showing the light pink shade in action because the results speak for themselves. A triangle-shaped powder puff would be useful for applying this!
Promising review: "First, the fact that they made two shades of pink is awesome. I have the deep shade, and it works really well. It is definitely blurring and brightening. Deeper complexion makeup lovers rejoice!!" — Deep Pink Shade
Get it from Target for $16.99 (available in four shades).
16. A retro-inspired lamp if the number one rule in your household is "we never, EVER turn on the big light." Your evening ambience is about to go to another level.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it on TikTok! It comes with four bulbs, so you can plug it in and enjoy its cozy glow right away.
Promising review: "Yes, it's plastic. And yes, it's a reproduction, but it looks so much better in person, especially when it's turned on. It gives off the perfect soft lighting. Mid-century modern look without the hefty price tag. It is expensive for plastic, but if you wanted to purchase a similar style lamp from that period, it would be much more $$$, and it comes with bulbs. The on/off switch is on the cord, so I plugged mine into a plug with a battery-operated remote so I wouldn't have to get behind my table to turn it on every time. Happy with purchase." — jacqueline l. gibson
Get it from Amazon for $45.95 (available in four colors).
17. And a halo projector lamp that's a major upgrade on the basic sunset lamp TikTok has been obsessed with. This floor lamp projects up to *five* colorful halos of light, and you can bend and shape each head to change the direction and size of the halo. It'll make your home feel like it's part of some funky art installation in the BEST way.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don't get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." — Max Ferg
Get it from Amazon for $119.99.
18. An acacia wood balcony bar table so you can take meals outside and enjoy the fresh air, even if your only outdoor space is a small balcony or patio. A glass of wine with your S.O. or bestie while gazing out at, well, whatever view you're working with — that sounds delightful to me.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Get a closer look at it on TikTok!
Promising review: "I love this little table soooo much! It created an eating area for us on our balcony that doesn't really block the view, is bar height, and can stand up to the sea air. I DID brush two coats of tung oil on to really waterproof it. So cute! And yes, it was easy to assemble. All of the boards are well labeled. We used clear zip ties to fasten it to the balcony because the metal brackets could scratch our railing. Zip ties can't be seen and won't corrode in the salt air either. Tempted to buy a second one for the far side of the balcony." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $94.49. Matching stools are available separately: backless ones for $101.93 or ones with a back and armrest for $188.99.
19. Merit's "The Minimalist" complexion stick with a rounded tip design (inspired by classic ballpoint pens!) that's perfect for getting into those nooks and crannies under your eyes and around the nose. If you try to have a "light touch" with your makeup and go for a natural look, this would be a powerful tool for your arsenal, since it won't settle into fine lines or emphasize any blemishes.
You can use it to spot-conceal or for all-over coverage.
See it on TikTok, where one person uses it (along with Merit's Flush Balm) to cover up acne with pretty impressive results!
Promising review: "I am 41 with dry skin and some fine lines. I use this over a moisturizing sunscreen and a thin primer and buff it out with a brush. It gives a satiny smooth appearance and still looks like my skin. I use a light coat of setting powder if I truly need it to last all day. The Merit blush balm also doesn't move this around when it's applied on top. Love it!" — nararabbit
Get it from Sephora for $38 (available in 30 shades).
20. A convertible corduroy teddy sofa that's simple in design yet delightfully versatile, consisting of two angled cushions and two cushy mattresses that you can move around as you like. You can unstack one of the mattresses to stretch out during movie night, and move around the backrest pillows to create a faux conversation pit for chill hangouts. For all the use you'll get out of it, the price feels totally worth it — especially considering the Omhu Teddy Sofa goes for double the price.
You can spot it in this TikTok roundup of home decor purchases they don't regret!
Poufudic is a small biz based in Turkey that makes gorgeous sofas, bean bag chairs, floor cushions, and more cozy living room items.
Promising reviews: "I was looking for a [cheaper] teddy couch and I'm SO happy I came across this Etsy shop (thanks to Tiktok). Extremely comfortable!!! 10/10." — Kenya Staley
"This couch got all the way to my Brooklyn apartment from Turkey in no time at all. It fits my space great and is so comfortable. I feel like I'm sitting on a cloud. Even in 'couch mode,' it is deep enough for me to sit in whatever position is comfortable. It was very easy to put together. I'm very happy with my purchase!" — Apple user
Get it from Poufudic on Etsy for $1,298.70 (originally $1,998; available in nine colors).
21. A cherry bag charm if the $95 Coach one is a little outside your price range. Reviewers praise the quality at this price and say it has a nice weight to it! This pretty piece will add a *hefty* dose of cuteness to your favorite handbag, and the clip makes it easy to transfer between bags as needed!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can see a similar one in this TikTok!
Promising review: "I was really debating buying the $95 one but figured I spent enough on the bag, so I decided to just get a replica for the cherry. I'm so glad I did! It looks almost exactly like it except for the slight change in hardware color. The quality seems great, and it looks sturdy. I love it! It really gives the bag an extra nice touch." — Oriana Pineda
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four styles).
22. A portable CD player for playing those beloved CDs that have been collecting dust ever since your car and laptop ceased to have CD-playing capabilities. It's also a Bluetooth speaker, FM radio, alarm clock, and more!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can see it in this TikTok! It can be mounted on a wall, but it also comes with a compact stand for keeping on a desk or shelf. It comes with a remote control and also has an AUX input/output and USB port!
Promising review: "The CD player sounds really great! I play my BTS, TXT, and TWICE CDs a lot and they are always rich in sound quality. I use the stand the most with the CD player. The remote works really well when pausing/playing/stopping the song. To turn the CD player on/off, all you need to do is pull the cord on the bottom, which I found very nice." — Sydney
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
23. A snuffle mat in the shape of a carrot garden your dog can go digging in to their heart's content. Hide some treats inside for extra stimulation as they investigate this puzzle toy!
These are made for dogs, but I've seen a senior cat playing with this on TikTok, and it's so cute. 🥺 Sprinkle some treats or catnip inside, and cats will probably enjoy it, too!
Promising review: "Wanted to get a 'learning' toy for my dogs this past Christmas. I have two 10-pound Morkies. I give them Cheerios for snacks. I hid a small handful of Cheerios in each hole in the beginning. They loved pulling out the carrots and then finding/eating the treats. Then after the treats were gone, they just played with the carrots for awhile. Kept them busy for quite some time. Now that they've learned the game, I don't put Cheerios is ALL the holes. Gotta keep them guessing! 😁" — DaNel Eads
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in a version that squeaks).
24. A 100% stained-glass transom window panel in case you've been wanting to ~zhuzh~ up a plain window in your home lately — this stunning piece will look absolutely mesmerizing when sunlight passes through. Get ready for visitors' jaws to drop when they hear it's from Amazon instead of an antique market (if you choose to tell them)!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It comes with a hanging chain! Check it out on TikTok (where you can see how the reviewer hangs it). There are a bunch of great Amazon reviewer pics too! It's a popular kitchen upgrade but would look beautiful in any window.
Promising review: "I saw this stained glass window in a TikTok video and had to have it. It was in my cart two minutes later. It comes with hardware and installs easily. It added just the look I wanted. Very well made at a very good price. So pretty!" — Deal mama
Get it from Amazon for $210.
25. Phone screen cleaners from the wizards behind Scrub Daddy if you can't remember the last time you cleaned your phone screen. This tiny microfiber pad sticks to the back of your phone so it's always there when you need to wipe away finger smudges, dust, and grease on your screen. It's washable and reusable — just stick it back on your phone once it's dry!
Amazon
See it on TikTok!
Promising review: "OK I admit it. Is this product a NECESSITY? No. But it really is a good product. I'm terrible about keeping my phone screen clean and it grosses me out. I'm a pretty big fan of Scrub Daddy products so I thought I'd give this a try, even if it was a little spendy. It REALLY does work and I had my doubts. When I opened the package and stuck it on my phone, I thought to myself, 'You just wasted your money on something you really don't need.' I was wrong. I did NOT waste my money because these little suckers really do clean WELL! B etween makeup and face oil, it usually takes some kind of wet wipe to really clean my screen, but this thing works completely on its own. No smudging, no residue left behind. It just seems to gobble up all of the smudges and smears on my phone. I love this little thing and have ZERO regrets about buying it." — Nancy
Get the pack of three from Amazon for $7.95.

Love Island's Ben Holbrough had a hair transplant before the show: See before and after pictures
Love Island's Ben Holbrough has been the talk of this week's show thanks to his icky situ with Toni (read: his ego is through the roof). More recently, however, it's not his coupling that has people online talking, but a number of TikTok and Instagram videos that reveal he underwent a hair transplant before entering the villa. Shocking, much? Well, you've not seen the transformative before and after pictures, yet... Last year, at just 22 years old, the taxi driver from Gloucester underwent the hair transplant procedure at 360 Hair Clinic in Brighton. The clinic has shared multiple clips on social media showcasing his transformation, including a video taken six months post-surgery, highlighting fuller, thicker, and healthier-looking hair. "We developed a full post-treatment plan tailored specifically for Ben, combining in-clinic treatments and our 360 Optimum Hair products to protect the newly transplanted follicles, minimise shedding and promote healthy, long-term growth," the clinic wrote to caption one of their posts. We're pleased to see that the procedure has increased Ben's confidence and self-love! That said, Ben isn't the only boy from this year's cast of Love Island to have had a hair transplant. Semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley also underwent a transformation in Istanbul, Turkey, at just 24 years old. Harry has previously said that he underwent the "perfect experience". The increasing openness among male reality TV stars about cosmetic procedures reflects a broader societal shift towards destigmatising such treatments. And while users on social media can be cruel, the reach that certain forums have has played a significant role in normalising discussions around hair loss and restoration, encouraging more and more individuals to speak about men's grooming and self-image. And we're all for this positivity! But beyond that, we have one final message for Ben: You better treat our girl Shakira well... This is an ick-free zone, my friend. Follow Lia on Instagram. Lia Mappoura (she/her) is the Beauty Writer at Cosmopolitan UK. Covering everything from viral celebrity hair and makeup news to the latest trend predictions, she's an expert in recognising the season's next big beauty look (before it ends up all over your social media feeds). You'll usually find her putting TikTok's recent beauty hacks to the Hype Test, challenging the gender-makeup binary and social stereotypes, or fangirling over the time Kourtney Kardashian viewed her Instagram Story (yes, it's true).

Bold Black Bear Cub Drinking Coffee From Man's Mug on Mountain Porch is the Most Magical Morning Scene
Bold Black Bear Cub Drinking Coffee From Man's Mug on Mountain Porch is the Most Magical Morning Scene originally appeared on PetHelpful. After having lived in the suburbs, in a busy city's downtown, and in a small town in the hills, I can understand why people enjoy living in the countryside. Two-lane roads are a lot less overwhelming than six-lane highways, and who doesn't love seeing a baby deer on their way to work? However, when you live somewhere truly isolated, like a cabin in the forest, coexisting with animals is a given, too. This can come as a shock to some, but for 'mountain man' @stevenson_t, it feels perfectly natural to see black bears wandering near, and even on, his property. The homeowner shares his black bear encounters on TikTok, but one particular interaction with a curious black bear cub on June 4 left everyone laughing out loud. The bold little bear helps themself to the man's morning coffee! OMG, I've never seen a bear cub drinking coffee before! It seems like the little one likes what they taste, considering how many times they came back for more. If the close proximity and little paw dip into the coffee weren't convincing enough, that eye contact sealed the deal. This curious cub reminds me of my dogs attempting to help themselves to everything I eat or drink, but I wouldn't stop a bear the same way I would stop my dog. A morning coffee is nice, but it's not worth risking an angry mama bear!I can hardly believe that someone casually interacts with black bear cubs like this. They're literally face to face! Clearly, the bears have been seeing him regularly since birth, so he's just another pal, but it's hard to believe that Mama Bear is just as friendly. "This is her second litter," the bear whisperer replied to a commenter. "She brings them right up to meet me." That's simply magical! It must have taken years for this man to build a trusting relationship with these wild animals, but his patience and hard work paid off adorably. As many commenters pointed out, this interaction would have gone very differently if these cubs were brown bears. Avoiding close interactions with all bears is a great rule of thumb, but if you do happen upon a bear in the wild, you'd better hope it's a black bear like the ones in this video. Both types of bears tend to avoid human interaction when necessary, but black bears can be more easily intimidated and are more likely to run away when frightened. Brown bears (including grizzly bears), on the other hand, are more likely to attack. Luckily for this man, he's made friends with a trusting family of black bears who are just as willing to coexist as he is. I hope their safe interactions continue for as long as possible!

I Came Across These 32 Random Products That Are *So Cool* I Just Have To Share Them With You
A two-pack of birria bombs, and no, they aren't bath bombs; they're for tacos, of course! If you're tired of trying and trying to perfect a birria quesadilla or constantly spending $$ at restaurants to get this amazing meat, just add a chuck roast and some water to your CrockPot, throw one of these in, and bam! You've got a seriously yummy, sublime dinner. You may have seen these on TikTok!EZ Bombs is a small biz that specializes in different cooking bombs like pozole, tinga, and of course, birria!Okay, so to use these grab a chuck roast (up to four pounds), cut it into chunks, add four cups of water (some reviewers use broth instead), and toss one of these babies in. Let it cook (cook time will depend on how you cook it), and then add it to your tacos, quesadillas, burritos, ramen, nachos, taquitos, whatever you want! The bombs blend 13 different spices and chiles like arbol, guajillo, and ancho. Here are the cooking times for different ways of cooking — pressure cooker: an hour and 45 minutes, slow cooker: six hours on high or eight hours on low, stovetop: three hours on low heat *or* until fork tender. Promising review: "This seasoning has been a game-changer for my quesabirrias. I used it with chuck roast, and the results were incredible — full of bold, authentic flavor. It's incredibly simple to use, and the seasoning blend does all the heavy lifting. Definitely worth keeping stocked for quick, flavorful meals." —Ruby VizuetGet a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99. A collection of Avengers comics because Endgame came out in theaters in 2019, and you've been *dying* for some more Avengers movies. Dive into the OG Marvel stories with this awesome book as you impatiently wait for Doomsday to be released. Promising review: "Obviously awesome. This takes me back to my youth without having to rummage through my old comics." —Ryan AGet it from Amazon for $17.30+ (available in a paperback or hardcover version). A portable car jump starter with a flashlight so you can jump your car by your darn self. Perfect to have in case of any sort of emergency cuz it also has USB ports that'll charge your phone 50% faster than other chargers. Honestly, a must-have. All you gotta know is where the red clamp goes and where the black one goes (don't ask me, I'm literally just a girl, I'd have to TikTok it or call my dad). The flashlight also has different lighting patterns if you're alone somewhere and need someone to find you. It can jump-start all 12V common vehicles with up to 8.0L gas and 7.0L diesel engines. It can also charge more than just your phone — cameras, earbuds, watches, whatever you can connect with a USB cuz it's a power bank. It can also jump-start motorcycles, lawnmowers, trucks, passenger cars, and boats. Promising reviews: "I never bother reviewing things, but this is amazing. Bought it two months ago and thought it would be good to keep in the car. I saw someone with a dead battery in a parking lot last Friday, so I said, 'Do you want to try this? I've never used it.' Started their car immediately. I drove out of state later that night. The following morning, my car wouldn't start. What are the odds? I used this, got my car started immediately, headed to Auto Zone, and found out I had a dead battery. It saved me a lot of money because I probably would have called a tow truck and had it dropped off at a shop if I didn't have this with me. It's also cool to charge your phone or whatever with a USB. Highly recommend this." —Kevin beck"I pulled into a fast food for lunch. After lunch, my vehicle wouldn't start, so I called AAA for a tow. Upon arrival, the driver went through his procedures, including a battery test. He was using this device. I purchased one for myself, one for my son, then one for my grandson." —William H. DavisGet it from Amazon for $44.98. A 14-pack of menstrual discs that'll have you ready to toss the tampons. These babies hold the capacity of five regular-sized tampons worth of fluid, they're perfect for heavy and light periods, they're comfortable, and they help prevent odor, irritation, and dryness. You can also wear 'em overnight, during exercise, swimming, and even sex without any leaks! Reviewers are lovin 'em. Oh! Anddd, you can wear it for up to 12 HOURS!!Promising review: "So my period ended yesterday, and I only used these Softdiscs the whole time. This was my first time trying anything besides tampons and pads. I love them; they are much better than tampons and didn't leak once. I always leak on day one or two with tampons. The removal is a little messy, so do it over a toilet or in the shower, but the more you do it, the easier it gets, and you'll figure out how to make it less messy. I also had sex with it; I know that's the question for most. My husband said it felt weird, but he still had no issues finishing. No leaks during sex because it's suctioned onto the cervix area. These are a must-buy. I'll never go back to tampons." —Tiffany"Comfortable, discrete, stays in place, and easy to remove. Much gentler and easier to use than any other cup I've used before. I can keep it in for a full 12-hour shift as a nurse and not leak. Have also used when intimate, and mess-free!" —Joel Ter WeeGet a 14-pack from Amazon for $13.94. A pair of Paris Hilton nonslip silicone oven mitts because it just makes sense. I mean, oven mitts that say "that's hot," the *iconic* Y2K Paris Hilton phrase?! AND THEY'RE PINK?!? Perfection. They can withstand heat up to 475 degrees!Promising review: "I wasn't expecting much of these beyond a cute color and print, but they're incredible quality. Very heat resistant, great grippy design, and the inside is soooo soft! Now THAT'S HOT!" —KGet them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two styles). A pet dryer box for cats up to 20 pounds and dogs up to 15 pounds. It has hundreds of ventilation holes and built-in safety temperature control to prevent your fur babe from over heating. It also has a lil' window so you can stick your hand in and give your pet some comforting rubs if they're freaking out in there. Plus it's quiet and will dry your little furry one super fast. Promising review: "We had done extensive research before deciding on this product for our new puppy. This is really a great investment. The puppy remained calm throughout and was thoroughly dried from head to tail. The side access panel is such a good feature to reassure your pet if needed. It's also a good way for us to check on the dryness of the fur without having to open the main door. This is a must have for pet owners! The only thing I will add is that since our puppy is super small, it works really well. I think the size can be a limitation for bigger pets." —CattGet it from Amazon for $398.99. How to Be More Shrek: An Ogre's Guide to Life because the fifth movie in the franchise drops in December of 2026 so we've got until then to brush up on our swamp etiquette. I mean, there's seriously some quality advice in there — "I'm an ogre. And I'm not going to apologize for acting like one." Period! Words to live by honestly. That and "what are you doing in my swamp?!" A lil' dumpling light here to make your nights cozier and days brighter with an ambient glow and his cutie litto face. And he's squishy! Don't you just wanna snuggle him?! Unfortunately, the little bamboo steamer is not included, but it's cool, this cutie doesn't need one to be absolutely adorable. He automatically shuts off after an review: "I love this thing so much. It's a lot bigger than I honestly expected! Perfect lil' night-light to take around when I can't be bothered to hit a light switch, and it isn't so bright that it's hard to look at. I'm tempted to create a little collection." —Sophie it from Smoko for $20. A foldable exercise bike because you'd *love* a Peloton, but where the heck is it gonna go in your small apartment? It supports up to 300 pounds and you can pair it to the app for trainer-led workouts and vitrual scenic tours, and to track your progress. And then after you've crushed your workout, fold it up and shove it int the closet! Promising review: "I love it! I get my workout in while watching my TV shows. One episode and I have cycled for 16 miles!! I love that I can change the resistance levels. For a stationary bike, this one has some really great extra features. I can tone my legs and arms at the same time. The seat is comfortable for the most part, but when sitting on anything for too long you tend to feel the pressure in your muscles (glutes to be exact). The back plate helps some, but not when you lean forward and hold the handle bars. It's pretty accurate on the readings for my BPM's. I use a smartwatch and they are pretty close in readings. I do hear squeaking now since I set it up and have ridden for over 100 miles total. I know I need to possibly tighten the screws on the front to alleviate most of the noise. It's easy to store away, but it is also a little heavy to lift if you don't lift much. Great bike for the price. I'm totally happy with my purchase. I would definitely refer this bike to my friends and family. I already suggested it to my co-workers, so that we can start a cycle class together." —MsAngieGet it from Amazon for $177.49+ (available in three colors/styles). A set of mini cheese boards so you can continue to remind all of your guests that you are indeed the host with the most. Everyone can have their very own little charcuterie spread, so fancy!

You'll be sent a random color and it from Urban Outfitters for $20. A personalized zodiac candle with a detailed personality description for your birthdate. It'll tell you your ruling planet and element, gemstones, and totem so this is def a candle jar you'll wanna keep forever. Promising review: "I was curious about my astrological information and I love scented candles, so I bought one for myself. Now that I know it's really good quality, smells great and comes in a pretty box, I'll buy some for gifts :).The reading on the back was accurate! Now I'm excited to learn more about my 'stones' and use my daily affirmation. Love it!" — it from Amazon for $39 (available in 365 birthdates). A Disney princess color-by-number coloring book that'll literally take over your life. Start thinking of excuses as to why you can't go out now, cuz this'll make you wanna be home with snacks and wine coloring every night. I have three of these coloring books (this one is on my wishlist), and I'm obsessed with themmmm. I kept seeing them on TikTok and had to have them. Pro tip: grab some paint pens (these are the ones I bought). They make all the difference, and that's how the coloring pages end up looking so good. If you love coloring as a little *me time relaxation* you should totes treat yourself. I have no regrets and plan to buy basically every single one of these coloring books. But for now, I'm loving the three I have (check 'em out — 1 and 2).Promising review: "I was nervous about this book, but it was the best coloring book I've ever owned. There are little lines that look like someone drew them in, but they come pre-filled in because the area is so tiny. The book's quality is amazing, super thick, very well-made. I use acrylic paint markers and they don't bleed through the paper and make the photos really pop! Overall, will be buying more books!" —SamGet it from Amazon for $34.69. A unicorn-head squirrel feeder so you can do good by the animals and give the little critters some snacks *and* get a good laugh out of it. Win-win situation, really. A little tabletop flip-through Instax pic frame so you can display all the cute polaroid pictures you take. I mean, you take all those fun handheld pics just to shove 'em in a drawer? I think not. It holds up to 28 photos so you can flip through memories and feel all nostalgic. Get it from Urban Outfitters for $20. A copy of Murdle, Volume 1 that'll have you spending your days feeling like Olivia Benson. If you feel like you were a detective in your past life, now's your time to shine and solve these murder mystery-themed logic puzzles. Cue the Law & Order: SVU *dun-dun* sound. An Oclean electric toothbrush with an interactive touchscreen that gives 👏 you 👏 feedback 👏 on what areas you missed by displaying a set of teeth on the little screen. If the area is red, you gotta brush a bit more. And if you download the app, you'll get a personalized brushing plan and report. This baby is definitely top tier. It comes with a charger and wall mount and is compatible with Apple Health!I just got this, and I'm obsessed. First and foremost, it's stunning and sleek and looks much better than my other electric toothbrush. I don't plan to throw my old toothbrush away yet, but that's only because I have a couple of toothbrush heads left, and I'm frugal, so I'm gonna use 'em up. But as soon as I'm out of the toothbrush heads, my Oral-B one goes in the garbage. My mouth has never felt cleaner, and the vibration is super gentle. Use this and then use their water flosser, and I swear you'll feel like you just left a dentist cleaning. I haven't had the chance to download the app and all that jazz yet simply because I'm a busy gworl but as soon as I get a day where I'm less busy I will. This ensures you're cleaning every itty bitty part of your teeth. I am loving it so review: "The toothbrush handle features a color touch screen that allows you to choose between Morning Gentle and Night Clean, as well as the ability to set custom modes using the Oclean Care App. What's even more interesting is the reward system that encourages users to develop good brushing habits. Achieve 360-degree visual cleaning without any blind spots, unlike ordinary electric toothbrushes that cannot sense missed areas and can create dead spots over time. The toothbrush comes with a blind zone reminder that alerts you when you score below 80 points, prompting you to make up for the missed areas. Ordinary electric toothbrushes do not have this feature, which can lead to bacteria build-up in the long run. The toothbrush provides an in-app brushing report, making brushing data clearly visible." —LittledeeGet it from Oclean for $99.99 (available in four colors). A nostalgic DoodleBob pen holder so that you aren't searching for a writing utensil at your desk when it's time to take notes. You'll be saying "Meyohimeyoi!" all day. *Giggles like SpongeBob*. A car visor extender for us shorties because pulling the car visor down alone DOESN'T DO A DARN THING TO BLOCK THE SUN. IDK about you, but I've considered a booster seat a few times. Well, I guess, no need for that with this little heaven sent baby available, huh? Promising review: "Driving to and from work has been a pain lately, even with sunglasses on. Being short, my regular car visor was not shielding the low sun. This shield cuts the glaring rays without inhibiting my vision. Perfect." —KimGet it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). A hair identifier spray that'll make dermaplaning a whole lot easier. You may also be mortified that you have so much peach fuzz you never knew was there, but at least you'll no longer *over* shave or miss a spot. Plus, it'll help keep your skin moisturized and protected while you shave. A "Grievance Journal" — aka a "burn book for the discerning misanthrope" with 52 prompts for venting and 52 ~dark humor-kinda~ jokes sprinkled throughout.

It's gentle on sensitive skin, can help prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs, and it smells like cake! Promising review: "This stuff is like pure magic!!!! And for $26, I feel like this bottle is massive. Plus, when you use it to shave literally anywhere a little goes a very long way, so this bottle will definitely be lasting me a long time! The scent is immaculate — smells so good I could eat it! It's also super moisturizing and I've noticed since using it that I've had a lot less razor bumps on my inner thighs! I use it to shave everywhere, not just the 'coochie!'' —Summer RogersGet it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four sizes). A stink-blocking balm for anyone who's sensitive to funky smells. If you gag at everyday, unavoidable smells like diapers and taking out garbage, you'll fall in love with this quicker than Ariel fell in love with Prince Eric. It's made by a woman-owned small biz established by Jennifer, an RN who made the product for healthcare professionals like herself who desperately needed the balm under the nose and outside the nostrils, and repeat whenever necessary! Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns review: "I am taking anatomy this year and, after my first dissection, decided the smell of decaying rats was unbearable. I got in time for my practical and it masked the smell perfectly! Would def recommend to anyone dealing with pungent smells." —h. KrakeGet it from the StinkBalm Store on Amazon Handmade for $8.99. A flat hair clip so that you can give your neck a little rest and actually lean your head back on the couch. You'll still get the cute claw clip look, but with the ability to get some dang relief while serving looks. Promising review: "I was getting so tired of the headaches that claw clips gave me, as well as the daily annoyance of not being able to lean my head back. I hated having the clips bang on the headrest in the car. These are perfect! They allow you to put your head back in the car, on the couch, or in bed. Plus, they really hold your hair, even if it's thin like mine. Cute colors as well! Get these!!" —Jeanne JohnsonGet a six-pack from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 20 colors/styles).

It's stuffed with pistachio cream and a shredded phyllo dough called "kataifi" and the combo is so delicious, you may shed a tear taking your last bite. Y'all, is it me, or does it look like a Reptar bar? Promising reviews: "I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but I'm a sucker and had to try it to see what all the hype is about. Well, it's completely justified. It's amazing. The chocolate is excellent quality and so creamy and smooth. The pistachio adds this nutty flavor, and there is a wonderful crunch. It's good." —Tami A."I was anxious to try this since I've seen the Dubai chocolate bar go viral on TikTok. It was very delicious trying it for the first time. It was slightly melted due to the heat during transport, but I put it in the fridge for a few minutes before trying and it was amazing. If you're anxious to try it without going through the trouble of making it yourself, then try this." —AleshaGet it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in a two-pack). A "Born to yap" downloadable digital print that matches your vibe perfectly. IDK about y'all, but ever since I was a child I knew that I wanted to talk a whole lot all of the time.

While it minimizes pores, the real magic is in the deep hydration it provides. It's a perfect addition to my nighttime routine. Highly recommend for a glowing complexion!" —MarisaGet a four-pack from Amazon for $19 (available in three styles and a 16-pack).

Promising review: "Okay. Maybe TMI, but I get a lot of bumps on my body — be they ingrown hairs, reactions to new products, whatever. I had a boil, cyst, idk? — on my armpit, and nothing would help it drain until I tried this stuff. Like magic. Put it on at night since it should not be used under a bandage per instructions, but maybe be aware that you might bleed if you have a boil, bite, or something else blood-filled that needs to pop. Recently, I had a badly inflamed ingrown hair on my leg. I could seriously barely walk. I was sobbing uncontrollably in pain. I had tried Neosporin with pain relief, lidocaine ointment, you name it. Nothing was helping. It was days before my wedding, and I seriously didn't think I could walk down the aisle in the state I was in. My fiancé remembered I had this little gem in the bathroom and suggested I try it. I was desperate and in excruciating pain, so I figured, why not? Woke up the next morning with blood all over my leg, inside my pants, etc, but the bump(s) had drained, and I could walk again. This stuff literally saved my wedding." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks).
