23 Fun Impulse Buys From Etsy Because, Admit It, You Love Treating Yourself
A pen holder shaped like a white refrigerator for the RHOA/Nene Leakes stan. Make it a home for pens, pencils, highlighters, and other stationery — it even comes with a Nene sticker!
A handmade stuffed olive doorknob because a dirty martini (extra extra dirty) is your drink of choice.
A little worry wart that will make you, an anxious, always-stressed person, feel seen.
Some strawberry nail decals so you can celebrate summer in the ~berry~ cutest way possible. If you've never used waterslide nail decals, the process is pretty simple: Cut out the design you want, soak it in water, and "slide" it onto your nail.
An adorable book tracker bookmark to gamify reading and entice you to finally finish the story on your nightstand.
A minty jelly frog soap for a ~froggin'~ cute upgrade to your bathroom. You'll have to check the bathroom after every guest to make sure they don't try to take this lil' guy home with them.
A plant animal because they'll make your plant room feel like a tropical jungle.
A door hinge topper that'll accessorize a spot in your home that I'm 99.9% sure you've never thought of accessorizing. Good luck forgetting that this exists!
A tin of tangerine-flavored Sour Drops so you can finally experience the mouth-puckering fruity flavor you've been missing since Altoid Sours were, tragically, discontinued in 2010.
A colorful weekly planner if you like to have your to-dos for the week laid out in front of ya.
A pack of googly eyes to give your old ten-speed some character. Reviewers with a good sense of humor have also used them to decorate wheelchairs.
Ecologies, a nature-inspired card game for some tabletop fun. Players must build balanced food webs across biomes while simultaneously strategizing to send their opponent's webs out of whack.
A social battery pin because sometimes you can't even put together nice words to make people leave you the heck alone.
A brutally honest T-shirt that, unfortunately, is 1,000% true. At least I'm upfront about it...
A handmade tiny vase for cat whiskers so — duh! — you can display your cat's shed whiskers. If you don't know why you'd want to do that, I have to assume it's because you don't own a cat.
A relatable Smiski-esque sticker if you are, in fact, reading this post from your computer.
Or a laptop sticker to make your coworkers think twice before communicating with you. "I hope this email finds you before I do, Susan!"
A faux-pearl closure because maybe your fave cardigan doesn't have buttons. Well, now it can! You can also use 'em to accessorize your sweaters, adding them to the cuffs, the shoulders, and anywhere else that could use some pizzazz.
An ~unofficial~ lil' postal tub that looks just like the iconic mail tubs USPS uses...except their tubs are full of mail and yours is full of mini Reese's Cups.
A Princess Donut patch — IFKYK! — so you can show off your Princess Posse Fan Club membership. Also, this just feels really fitting given Donut's scutelliphily skill.
A bag strap made of watches for fashionistas who don't have ~the time~ for boring accessories.
A hand-carved silk moth hairclip because it's so breathtaking and delicate that you won't regret for a single moment watching the money ~flutter~ out of your bank account.

Brit Eady Officially Exits ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta' After 1 Season, #RHOA Reveals Reunion Dress In Fiery Farewell Post—'I Choose ME'
Bravo-suing Brit Eady is officially parting ways with The Real Housewives of Atlanta after her first and only season, but not before fully flaunting the dress she planned to wear at the #RHOAReunion. 'NO BRIT, NO REUNION,' she captioned a video of her gold-gilded gown. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty On July 14, the 37-year-old TV personality and insurance agent announced via Instagram that she would be leaving the show for good and thanked fans for their support throughout the ups and downs of Season 16. 'I want to thank everyone who supported me, my friends, my followers, my amazing team, and everyone who defended my name,' the star captioned a slideshow that captured her wearing a stunning gold and silver shimmering gown by Vietnam-based designer Nguyễn Tiến Truyển, presumably what she would have worn had she attended the reunion on July 13. Eady said she decided to walk away from the show to protect her 'peace over destroying' her 'mental health.' She continued: 'It's very easy to say what I should have done, when most have not walked a day in my shoes,' she continued. 'I choose ME, and a lot of ppl can't say they choose themselves.' Eady endured a lot after her extreme fallout with former # RHOA star Kenya Moore. In June 2024, during the opening of her hair spa, Moore displayed a large poster featuring a sexually explicit image of a woman performing oral sex, claiming it was Eady. The shocking display, which occurred amid a feud between the two, led many to believe the woman in the image was Eady, an allegation she has firmly denied. As a result, Eady chose not to attend the season reunion. Moore was suspended and ultimately exited the series following an internal investigation. As previously reported, in the aftermath, Eady filed a $20 million lawsuit against Bravo, NBCUniversal, and production companies True Original and Endemol Shine North America, accusing them of defamation and emotional harm. The lawsuit further alleges that Eady was never shown the photo before the episode's airing, despite asking repeatedly. In her post shared Monday, Eady revealed that she was still 'healing' from the drama that she experienced on the show. 'I still have a lot of healing left to do, but you can't heal in the same place that made you sick.' She added, 'I don't owe anyone closure, I only owe myself to do what's best for me. My journey here is done.' To show off a bit, Eady flaunted her stunning gown once more in a follow-up post, with a caption that read, 'NO BRIT. NO REUNION.' Do you think Brit Eady made the right decision by leaving RHOA ? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section.

13 Feminist Books That Deserve a Place on Your Nightstand
It's officially 'dive into a good book at the beach' season, but there's no rule that says you can't work on your tan (with the help of judiciously applied SPF, please) and expand your feminist consciousness at the same time. To that end, we've rounded up some of our all-time favorite feminist books with the help of a handful of authors whose work never fails to teach us something new and necessary about gender, identity and power. Where the Girls Are: Growing Up Female with the Mass Media by Susan J. Douglas (1994) Where the Girls Are $19 Bookshop I was in a hot, dusty high school classroom when I first became aware of this book, which my favorite teacher included on our tenth-grade Contemporary American History syllabus (shoutout, Dr. Catapano!). I still return to Douglas's carefully laid-out and incisive social history of feminism as presented by postwar American media whenever I need a refresher on how far we've come. —Emma Specter, culture writer, Vogue Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo (2019) It may be surprising to see fiction on this list, but Evaristo's skill at portraying 12 very different protagonists in this Booker Prize-winning novel, which spans decades' worth of race, class, gender, and sexuality-based identity, more than deserves some good old-fashioned feminist acclaim. —ES Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay (2017) It feels like time can be cleanly divided into 'BH' (Before Hunger) and 'AH' (After Hunger), thanks to the passion and power of Gay's story about attempting to heal from intense trauma by binge-eating, succumbing to the all-too-familiar diet-binge cycle, and, finally, striving to live a full and comfortable life as a fat, Black, queer American woman. —ES Wages Against Housework by Silvia Federici (1975) This book is as brief as it is brilliant, which is saying a lot; in it, Italian-American writer, professor, and Marxist feminist Federici applies her prodigious intellectual skill to the question of whether women deserve pay for the domestic labor they disproportionately perform at home. A personal favorite quote: 'Homosexuality and heterosexuality are both working conditions…but homosexuality is workers' control of production, not the end of work.' —ES Corregidora by Gayl Jones (1975) A painful read that I couldn't tear myself away from. A book about how, sometimes, the foundation of connection is shared pain. —Jazmine Hughes, writer Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang (2025) 'I am breathless over this one. I know this one is going to rip people apart in the best way—it just cuts right to the core—the book itself is so emotionally ALIVE in the way that Enka desires her art to be, the way the world in the book experiences Mathilde's art to be. It's so fucking meta what you're able to do—art within art within art. I don't know how you do it, but also don't care to know so I can just revel in it!' —Haley Jakobson, author, Old Enough, in a text to Huang after reading the novel Love Is an Ex-Country by Randa Jarrar (2021) Driving cross-country solo is potentially one of the most empowering things a woman can do, and Jarrar gives a new and distinctive voice to the experience in this memoir about traversing America as a queer, Muslim, Palestinian-Egyptian feminist determined to chart the course of her own story. —ES Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall (2020) Race created the conditions for one of the greatest original fissures within the feminist movement, which makes Kendall's exploration of the ways in which mainstream feminism has continued to fail women of color feel particularly timely, even five years after its publication. —ES The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde (1980) Lorde's work can be found on Gender Studies 101 reading lists around the world, but The Cancer Journals is particularly notable for its references to the pioneering Black feminist author, professor, and civil rights activist's own struggle with breast cancer and its study of illness and disability as a kind of scaffolding that can partly shape a life. —ES The Group by Mary McCarthy (1963) This rollicking read about a group of pretty, privileged (to some degree) Vassar alumnae making their way in the big city may not seem like an overtly feminist text, but nobody did it like McCarthy when it came to giving voice to women's sexual appetites, professional dreams, and interpersonal desires. —ES Miss Major Speaks: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary by Toshio Meronek and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (2023) Miss Major Speaks: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary $19 Bookshop This book helped me not only see myself, but see my community in a clearer, brighter light. I've known Miss Major nearly 20 years now and her wisdom has thoroughly shaped my life. This book captures her vibrant, joyful voice in conversation with Toshio Meronek. For those who aren't familiar, Miss Major is a trans elder who has led and shaped trans and gender non-conforming people's fight for a just, inclusive world in too many ways to count. Toshio and Miss Major engage in a conversation that draws out history and story and memory in such a distinctive way, and I'm so grateful to Miss Major for sharing her wisdom with us all. —Tourmaline, artist and author, Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson (2016) Gender is just one of the topics that Nelson excavates in this memoir-cum-philosophical-theory project about meeting, falling in love with, and building a family with her transmasculine partner, but the central message of body liberation (for trans individuals as well as pregnant people) that Nelson disseminates is a powerful one. —ES SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas (1967) You can't make a proper feminist reading list without eventually coming to Solanas, whose exhortation to women was simple and clear: Overthrow the patriarchy and stop letting men occupy almost all the positions of power in global society. Is this one quite radical? Sure. Does it feel more relevant than ever in our current hellscape? Absolutely. —ES
