Remove Body Hair From Everywhere With the Fur 2-in-1 Trimmer
My relationship with my body hair remains, as it has always been, complicated. The first time I ever shaved was when I was 12, and since then, I've run the gamut from regular waxes every six weeks to going months without removing a single hair. I'm all for the full bush in a bikini movement, but each person has their own routines and feelings about their body hair, and getting rid of it can be downright painful. And time-consuming. And expensive!
Anybody who's done maintenance in their nether regions knows what I'm talking about. I've used razors, sugaring, waxing, and tweezing, but I'm relatively new to using trimmers. I'm working on a buying guide of the best options, and so far, the Fur Trim System has made my whole-body grooming routine a breeze.
The Fur Trim System includes the trimmer itself, an adjustable guide, a razor cartridge, a razor refill, a charging pedestal, and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable that plugs into the included pedestal stand. It doesn't come with a wall adapter.
It takes four hours to fully charge, which will get you 60 minutes of use. Upon the little blinking light turning solid, indicating a full charge, I decided to test the waters. I used this on my toes, my legs, my underarms, and my bikini area, and I was thoroughly impressed with the results. Trimming the Hedges
The Fur Trim System is ridiculously easy to use. The handle has grooves and ridges that make it effortless to get a good grip, even under running water. The device has a built-in LED spotlight—press the button once for the light, and again to turn on the motor. I really liked this feature, since it made it way easier to see what the heck I was doing (and to spot any spots or stray hairs I'd missed).
You can choose to use the trimmer with the guide off, which results in hairs around 1 mm long. There's also a guide that has 2-mm or 3.5-mm lengths—simply pop it on top of the trimmer and slide it until it clicks once or twice to select your setting. If you want to shave completely bare, you can swap the trimmer head for the razor blade head. You can use the razor with the light and/or vibration, or leave those settings off.
The device is water-resistant and pretty easy to clean—just pop off whatever attachment you've got on and rinse them both. One minor quirk is that the trimmer's scooped underside can lead to water splashing everywhere if you're not careful (I learned this the hard way). But pay attention and it'll be fine, and your bathroom countertops will remain nice and dry. The device might need frequent rinsing if you haven't groomed in a while, but that's the case with any hair-removal gadget.

When I tested this trimmer, I hadn't shaved in six months. (Don't judge me!) I tested all three modes—the razor head, the trimmer, and the trimmer with the guard. The trimmer made short work of my underarms and legs, and it was easy to use in my bikini area too. I was nervous at first, but despite intentionally trying to cut myself, I didn't manage to. (Don't say I don't thoroughly test my gear, either!) I did snag a couple of hairs and catch my skin once or twice, but nothing resulted in blood or pain. As a relative beginner to using gadgets like this, I was pleasantly surprised, and I'm sure anyone with more experience would find that it works smoothly as well. My shower didn't look like that scene from Carrie , a fear that was thankfully short-lived.

Mustard Made's Retro Lowdown Locker Makes It Easy to Store All My Stuff
I've always been the kind of person who's surrounded by 'doom piles'—random collections of my belongings that don't necessarily have a rhyme or reason. I have ADHD and a love of Things, and I'm a Millennial who's never had enough built-in storage in her home. Be it shoes, extra toiletries, random crafting supplies, or my ever-growing army of stuffed animals, I never knew where to put anything. And then I started a job as a product reviewer, and my collection of doom piles expanded twentyfold. I get stuff sent to my house for a living—and that stuff gets promptly deposited into piles around my office. And kitchen. And living room. And bedroom. And try as I might to corral it all with plastic totes and clear bins, those end up making my house feel like some sort of distribution center for my Stuff. Champagne problems, I know, but problems nonetheless. This year is the year I decided I needed to figure out how to store and organize my things, both work and personal, once and for all. And the Mustard Made Lowdown Locker is one of the best solutions I've found so far. (No wonder Senior Commerce Editor Julian Chokkattu included these lockers in his Work-from-Home Gift Guide.) Photograph: Louryn Strampe Set It Up This flat-pack locker comes in a long, rectangular box replete with plastic wrap and styrofoam. Assembly is relatively simple. I appreciated the clear paper instructions, plus the video instructions for visual learners like myself. All you really need is a standard cross-head screwdriver, though some assembly is easier if you have a pal around to help. I managed to set up The Lowdown all by myself, and I only swore a handful of times. (That's a good thing compared to my usual sailor mouth when assembling anything for work.) Photograph: Louryn Strampe The metal pieces and panels are easy to piece together, though one of my back panels was either machined incorrectly or damaged during shipping, leading to an imperfect corner shape that made it hard to slot in on one side. After much swearing and elbow grease, I failed to move it back to where it should be. I ended up forging ahead with the rest of the assembly and it all worked out OK, though obviously this flaw is not ideal (and if you run into a similar situation, you can email photos to customer service and get your part replaced). Other than that, the pieces were all machined smoothly with few rough edges, and the paint was applied perfectly across every piece. And despite my slightly misshapen back panel, I managed to get everything squared away. It's important to note that, after looking at other reviews online, this error seems to be an anomaly. Fully assembled, the locker is sturdy, and it looks fantastic. The doors stay put and the legs are straight. I do wish the doors snapped shut with a satisfying sound similar to the ones I'd slam in high school, but even without the tactile satisfaction, they're solid. Fill It Full Each shelf of The Lowdown can hold almost 90 pounds—Your extra gift-wrapping supplies! Your workout equipment! Your random camping gear!—and you get a couple of extra brackets to adjust the default layout if you wish. The default layout is two shelves across the locker at the same height, but the extra brackets allow you to place each shelf at different heights. Those brackets are the only extra hardware pieces you get—another minor thing that bothered me. When I was attaching one of the handles, I dropped the teeny-tiny screw and washer. The washer disappeared into the jungle of my carpet. It ended up being fine—I just attached it with the screw—but if the screw had disappeared, I would've been quite upset. So keep track of your hardware while assembling! Photograph: Louryn Strampe

The Fancii Abigail Makes Getting Ready Easy
I think it's a universal law that your makeup looks best if you apply it while sitting on the floor. As someone who travels frequently from tent to car to hotel to friends' houses, a good lighted makeup mirror is indispensable. As I mention in my guide to the best Lighted Makeup Mirrors, I'm the queen of doing my makeup in random places on a time crunch. The Fancii Abigail is a top-tier makeup companion, or my middle name isn't Abigail. (It literally is.) Photograph: Louryn Strampe The Fancii Abigail measures nearly 8 inches across and folds down into a flat, thin little disc that weighs about a pound. It's easy to pack into a backpack or suitcase. In my experience, it's pretty durable. I've dropped it a few times, and it still looks brand-new. The folding design protects the mirror from scratches and fingerprints. That disc unfurls into a makeup mirror that's not too big or too small. It's large enough that I can see my full face easily, unlike a smaller compact. And it's small enough that I can take it with me from place to place. It wouldn't be ideal for truly on-the-go touch-ups, but it's perfect for getting ready without needing to lean over a hotel bathroom counter or crane your neck to see a mirror that's awkwardly placed. I usually keep it in my backpack just in case I need to apply a full face on a whim. I wish it came in more colors—it's currently available in white or black—but I plan on decorating the outside with stickers soon to make it look a little more 'me.' Good Looks Photograph: Louryn Strampe The Fancii Abigail has a neat ring light built right in. There are three light temperature settings—soft white, natural daylight, and neutral white. Cycling through those helps ensure that your makeup is slaying no matter what environment you're in. It's plenty bright, and the battery lasts for a month (or longer, in my testing—it's got approximately 10 hours of run time total), and it recharges in about two hours via USB-C. You can even use it while it's charging. The adjustable angle has made my life easier no matter where I'm applying my makeup. You can open it up to look like a giant compact—it's a little top-heavy this way, but maneuvering makes it work—or you can fold it out again for a stand-up option with a more adjustable viewing angle. The interface is easy to use—tap a touchscreen button to turn it on, hold the power button to adjust brightness, and tap the temperature button to cycle through lighting settings. When you're done, the whole thing closes with a satisfying click. And it stays closed reliably, though it's also pretty easy to open thanks to the nail groove near the clasp.
