This $9 sheer tint neutral nail polish that dries in one minute is about to be your new signature look 💅.
1. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the same magic as " Black Honey," the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to keep in all your favorite bags and haunts.
I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5
Get it from Amazon for $7 (also available in eight other shades).
2. And Glossmetics' Lychee Overnight Lip Mask, which is a cult-fave in the making — you can wear this non-stick, ultra glossy lip shine during the day or overnight as a lip treatment to help hydrate, soften, and condition your lips. Not to mention you will taste *delectable* all day and night (just ask the many lychee martinis I have downed on this here earth!).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive. This is my favorite lip product I've purchased. This gloss is incredible, perfectly moisturizing, and the color is so perfect, a very light natural glowy pink. I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand." — Tara Bills
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three flavors).
3. A set of crease-preventing spiral hair ties that not only give your pony that delightful ~oomph~ to elevate it, but stay locked in place. They're also waterproof, which makes them great for exercise (as much as we all love a soggy hair tie on our wrist post-workout 🫠).

Basic Concepts is a small business that specializes in personal care products and home goods.
Promising review: "I'm super picky about what coil hair ties I use but these are by far my fave! I have super thick hair and it holds so well. They are super durable and stretch A LOT, so you can make sure it's holding your hair well." — Gillian D.
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $7.99.
4. Pocket World, a stress relief coloring book for adults full of whimsical miniature Polly Pocket-esque worlds to color, with no two alike. I'm talking fairy gardens, tiny hygge-style living rooms, quirky restaurants, and more.
www.amazon.com
Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront!
Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon!
Promising review:"One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" — Ezra Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
5. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~!
I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry.
Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
6. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," the latest drop from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean.

Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets.
Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing. The included dish is a great touch — it keeps it clean and gives it a dedicated spot to rest." — AZMOM
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random)!
Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront!
7. The Ordinary's Multi-Depth Hydration Serum to achieve that "glassy," plumped effect *without* breaking the whole bank. This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin.
Promising review:"Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" — Rina
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
8. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit for anyone on their "happy accidents" beat — this itty bitty set comes with everything you need to create three tiny masterpieces of your very own.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" — slb m
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
9. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
10. An oh-so-sweet 1000-piece macaron puzzle for anyone with a sweet tooth *and* a sweet brain. This one might be a toughie with all the similar colors in the pattern, but the satisfaction you'll get when you finish it is simply delicious.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I liked this puzzle, but it is a challenge. I had to work out a system and saved all the pink, red, lavender, purple pieces for last. You'll also need to check the picture on the box fairly often. But stick with it. It's fun." — Pioneer Woman
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
11. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.70.
12. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀.
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.29 (available in two styles).
13. Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment, the holy grail of curly hair products — you can either use it as a conditioning treatment, or wear it all day in your curls both to style and condition for all-day hair repair. Reviewers swear by it for healthier, bouncier, more well-defined curls, and love how gently it helps detangle, too.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This treatment is for all curl types!
Promising review: "I love this hair conditioner I LITERALLY use it everyDAY! It leaves my hair so soft and my natural curls are so bouncy! I'm in need of more soon! Definitely recommend this to anyone. And it smells so good too!!!" — Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $9.50.
14. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades).
15. A sardine-themed digital download because now that we are in an era of "sardines as decor," we need to embrace it with every brine-y, aesthetic mermaid bone in our BODIES, one piece at a time.
Baroo Bloom/Etsy
Baroo Bloom is an Austria-based Etsy shop that specializes in wall art and stationery.
Promising review:"Love this print! Prints exactly like the photo!" — Jay Verri
Get it from Baroo Bloom on Etsy for $4.35 (and check out a whole bunch of similar prints in the Etsy shop!).
16. A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now, and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring, and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles).
17. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works.
Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo
"I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
18. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding when that winter dryness is coming for your 'do. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"I have been buying this for a long time for me and my daughter. I have thin, curly hair but it gets dry in the winter and this really brings it back to life. My daughter has THICK and super curly hair and it keeps her hair so hydrated (we use it as a mask every two weeks on her). Highly recommend." — Marina M.

19. A set of wineglass charcuterie toppers to make you the ultimate host of wine and cheese nights ... *or* just an elite experience curating your own snack-and-vino vibe at home. (Friday night cheese is the most sacred cheese of all.)
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "These are so cute! I hosted a wine tasting at my house and the coasters fit into many different wine glasses. I had about three to four fairly decent size chocolates on top. These were a hit and everyone thought they were in a nice restaurant with the setup!!" — Melanie M.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of eight).
20. A pomade hair wax stick designed to work for all hair types for some residue-free *instant* hold for slick-back ponytails or setting flyaways, cowlicks, and baby hairs into place, if that's the ~look~ you're going for that day. Reviewers note how easy it is to glide over hair and brush back without leaving hair looking greasy or shiny.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).
21. A pair of gorgeous kitchen shears that are as functional as they are stunning — reviewers love these all-purpose, super sharp blades for cutting everything from meat and fruit to opening packages and wrangling with complicated wrapping.
Promising review: "I had a toddler I have to cut everything up for, and these scissors have made my life INCREDIBLY easier. I cut PB&J into perfect squares and grapes into three pieces effortlessly with these scissors. It cuts chicken and other meats simply. They're sharp, safe, and so affordable too. Don't look elsewhere; these are the best!" — Adrian
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight styles and four sizes).
22. Julep's Eyeshadow Crème to Powder Eyeshadow Stick that is basically what happens when creamy and powdery eyeshadows have a blendable, delightfully waterproof baby. This comes in matte, shimmery, *and* metallic options so you can get the precise vibe you're looking for, and a blending sponge on the end to get the pigment just right.
Amazon
Promising review: "I really wanted to find an eyeshadow that was easy to put on, lasted, and did not crease. Well, I found it. Lasts all day and love the color, so I bought a second color as well." — Bridget Gwaltney
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in 53 shades).
23. A Chupa Chups Sour Lollipops variety pack to add a little bit of 🥴 and 😳 and 😋 into your life. These come in lemon, strawberry, and apple, and make a perfect Emergency Lil' Treat for your purse.

Get a pack of 25 for $3.55 (available in different sizes).
24. Moodmatcher ~~green~~ color-changing lipstick, which not only adapts to the pH of your skin to create a personalized, perfect shade for your skin tone, but lasts for HOURS.

Amazon
Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick.

Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (available in 12 shades).
25. A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.98.
26. OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish you can get in a bunch of neutrals to keep on ~hand~ when you need a quick refresh, but can't commit to a whole manicure bit. These easy-to-apply, semi-sheer shades are chip-resistant, smudge-proof, and dry in a jaw-dropping 60 seconds!

Promising review: "I just love this nail polish! Love the color and how fast it dries. I will order again." — Georgie
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine shades).
27. Essence's "What the Fake!" Plumping Lip Filler to give your lips a lil' extra ~vavoom~ — this tingly formula not only volumizes your lips, but it's made with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to leave them extra moisturized and hydrated.
Check out a TikTok of the plumping lip filler in action.
Promising review: "I got this as an add-on last minute because of the price. It's small, but wow, it's impactful. A little goes a long way, and you can feel it working instantly. There is a tingle, not quite a burn. I'd def use a bit at a time when starting, but it works great right away." — Bt2turntup
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in five tints).
28. A wildly popular Gumby chew toy so beloved by pets and their owners alike that it's amassed over 42,000 5-star ratings. Reviewers love this lil' guy in particular because he is durable compared to other chew toys, comes in a shape great for playing and teething, and of course, because he is made in the likeness of our beloved Gumby.
Promising review: "It is sturdy with no small parts which could be swallowed by my dog. She loves the fact that Gumby's limbs are just the right size for her to chew on, and she can easily carry this toy around the house. When she finally destroys it, I will purchase another!!! Worth it — I have seen other high-priced dog toys which do not begin to compare with this one's quality." — MomdBom9
Get it from Amazon for $3.59.
29. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles).
30. Etude's delightfully multipurpose Dear Darling Water Tint, which a lot of reviewers compare to Benefit's Lip Tint. This smudgeproof formula is designed primarily to be a natural-looking, weightless lip stain, but reviewers use it as a blush as well!
Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point what's there not to like?" — Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $6.20+ (available in five shades and combo packs).
31. A sweet Nessie sugar spoon reviewers are obsessed with, and for good reason. It infuses just the right amount of ~whimsy~ into the best parts of their day (read: that first cup of coffee, the first bite of oatmeal, that lil' bowl of ice cream before bed). It also has a very satisfying weight and curve for optimum sipping.
Amazon
Promising review:"This little silly spoon makes me happy. It is now the #1 spoon everyone looks for in the silverware drawer at our house. Often found in a container of ice cream or a mug of tea living its best little life." — Emily
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in sets of four and eight).
32. A set of gold plant animals, because you're already the proud parent of over 10 houseplants, might as well add a bunch of adorable mini animals to your legal custody as well.
Another Studio / Etsy

Get it from Another Studio on Etsy for $9.87 (available in 24 animals).
33. Kitsch's Zig Zag Headbands, an iconic callback to the '90s style with a chic modern update.

Promising review: "If you don't have this headband you need it! I haven't stopped wearing it since I bought it! I've had so many people compliment it and order one because of how simple but cute it is! I have a medium thickness of hair and It holds my hair out of my face, the quality is great and it stays put all day. Wouldn't use for working out but great for everyday wear!" — Morgan
Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
34. A set of reviewer-beloved chocolate bar molds for anyone with Willy Wonka tendencies who is ready to take matters into their own hands, darn it. These are great for mix-ins like nuts and cereal, but also have enough depth for you to add fillings like peanut butter and the viral pistachio Dubai chocolate bars.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I used these molds to create homemade Nestle Crunch bars. It was easy to load these molds. I placed them on baking sheets and banged them on the counter to remove air bubbles, then loaded into fridge/freeze r. The molds are compact enough that they fit easily into my side-by-side fridge. I did not add any release agents to the molds before using, and the chocolate bars popped out very easily." — Keith G.

This $10 Waffle Maker Rivals My Bigger, More Expensive Chefman. Here's Why It's Now My Favorite

This $10 Waffle Maker Rivals My Bigger, More Expensive Chefman. Here's Why It's Now My Favorite

After getting some results on my physical that I wasn't entirely happy about, I'm officially on a keto diet. Keto is a low-carb diet that seeks to reduce or eliminate carbohydrates like bread, rice, pasta and potatoes. One of those foods you're supposed to eliminate is waffles, which, combined with maple syrup, have too many carbs to keep you in your macros. Or do you? It turns out that with the Dash Mini Waffle Maker -- which is just $10 at Amazon and Target -- you can make keto waffles (also called chaffles) that look just as tasty as regular ones, with a mix of shredded cheese and thoroughly whisked eggs. Some people recommend adding a pinch of baking soda for thickening, but I prefer to avoid it because it can add too much bitterness. Pour the mixture into the waffle iron, and you will get something that looks exactly like a regular waffle. To be clear, this doesn't really have the taste and texture of a "real" waffle. It's more of a savory egg cake than a waffle, and I usually use it as a bread substitute and eat it with cheese or meat rather than anything sweet. Dash even seems to encourage its use for keto waffles, including a recipe card that gives instructions on making it. Naturally, the Dash Mini is featured on our roundup of the best waffle makers due to it being small in size, easy to clean and reasonably priced. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Small, cute and perfect waffles every time Safe to say, the Dash Mini was a tremendous hit with my wife, who immediately started to use it for her own (regular, nonketo) waffles. In fact, she liked it so much she bought a second one, despite the fact that we have a perfectly good Chefman waffle maker. She loves how small and compact it is. Unlike our larger Chefman, it doesn't take up our limited countertop space, allowing us to store it away in a cabinet when we're not using it. It's also really simple to use; there are no buttons or dials or anything else at play. I simply plug it in for it to start heating, and the indicator light shows me when I can start cooking. Both sides are nonstick surfaces, but I usually use a bit of cooking spray before pouring the batter to make cleanup easier. The Dash Mini can churn our perfectly sized, round 4-inch waffles in a matter of minutes and once I'm done, I just unplug it, wipe any debris out with paper towels and stow it away for the next day. If there's one gripe I have, it's that removable or interchangeable plates would have been a nice touch for easier cleaning, but that's something that's not common for waffle makers at this size or price range, so I can't really fault Dash for not offering it. The color options are also a nice touch. I got the retro red to match our kitchen backsplash, but there's also aqua, lilac, black, pink and white. It also makes a lovely gift Whether you're shopping for Father's Day or graduation, a mini waffle maker makes a cute gift. You can add a personal touch by picking your gift recipient's favorite color from the array of bright and cheerful retro options.

These Shoes Are Perfect For Swollen And Sensitive Feet

Before we begin, let me be fully transparent: The FitVille EasyTop diabetic shoe line is, as evidenced by its name, designed for diabetics and the lower extremity swelling that often accompanies the disease. I am not personally afflicted with diabetes, and therefore have no first-hand experience with said swelling... However. The brand's EasyTop diabetic shoe line is perfect for swollen and sensitive feet and ankles thanks to a wide toe box (they come in wide, X-wide, and XX-wide fits); a stretchy and breathable mesh upper with stabilizers at the heel and toe (so you're foot's supported but never constricted); and an adaptable, easy on/off elastic closure. Additional features include an ergonomic, air-circulating insole, a cushy high-rebound midsole, and a thick, shock-absorbing outsole. And, on a purely aesthetic note, this particular model has an open vamp underneath its elastic flap, making it even roomier (and I can only assume comfier), but also giving it a high-fashion sporty look that feels surprisingly on-point these days — as if the Row made a pair of orthopedic martial arts shoes. But don't just take my word for it — there are plenty of very satisfied FitVille customers proclaiming their love for EasyTops. Read on for their rave reviews, and then do your feet a serious favor by hitting that Buy Now button. Get them from Amazon for $56.89+ (available in men's sizes 8–15, three widths, and in three colors).

New Book Addresses Mental Health Crisis Among Men with Honest, Practical Approach

"Mental Health for Men: Daily Reminders to Stop Being So Hard On Yourself" Offers Real Solutions for Modern Masculine Challenges VANCOUVER, BC, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Author James R.C. Smith releases his groundbreaking new book, "Mental Health for Men: Daily Reminders to Stop Being So Hard on Yourself," addressing the largely overlooked mental health crisis affecting millions of men worldwide. Available now on Amazon, this 86-page fillable journal and handbook offers a no-nonsense approach to male mental wellness that breaks through traditional barriers and outdated expectations. The Silent Struggle The statistics are sobering: nearly one in three men experience moderate to high anxiety, and one in five face depression, yet men remain the demographic least likely to seek help or discuss their mental health openly. Smith's book directly confronts this crisis, offering practical tools and honest insights for men exhausted by society's impossible standards. "We've been handed an outdated manual that tells us never to show weakness, figure it out ourselves, and just 'man up,'" says Smith. "But how's that working out for us? The strongest thing you can do as a man is ask for help. Just because you CAN do it alone doesn't mean you SHOULD." A Different Kind of Self-Help Unlike traditional self-help books that promise transformation into a "zen master," Smith's approach is refreshingly realistic. The book acknowledges the unique challenges modern men face—from remote work pressures to digital parenting demands, constant connectivity, and the impossible expectation to be both traditionally masculine and emotionally available. The handbook includes: Research-backed strategies that fit into busy lifestyles Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques presented in accessible language Permission-giving exercises for imperfection in work, parenting, and relationships Practical guidance on asking for help without feeling like a failure Honest reflection exercises from someone who's "been there" Breaking the Stigma "Your mental health isn't a luxury—it's essential," Smith emphasizes. "And taking care of it isn't soft—it's as crucial as changing your oil, eating your veggies, or getting enough sleep." The book's direct, unfiltered tone resonates with men who are tired of being told to suppress their struggles while simultaneously being expected to be emotionally available. Smith's approach combines vulnerability with practicality, offering tools that actually work for real men living real lives. About the Author James R.C. Smith brings personal experience and research-backed insights to the conversation about men's mental health. Writing from the perspective of someone who has faced the same challenges as his readers, Smith offers authentic guidance rather than distant expertise. Availability "Mental Health for Men: Daily Reminders to Stop Being So Hard on Yourself" is available now on Amazon in hardcover format. The book features 86 pages of practical content designed for busy men who need real solutions, not empty promises.
