I Spend Wayyy Too Much Time On TikTok, So Trust Me When I Say These 28 Products From There Are Really Cool
A truly precious teensy 14-ounce Stanley Cup for any time you know you're going to feel a little parched but don't wanna lug around your 40-ounce cup. ORRR to get your kiddo a matching Stanley (partially because it's cute as heck and partially because you don't want their backwash in your cup anymore). A rechargeable heated ice cream scoop so you can get your well-deserved treat without bending your spoon or feeling like you did a whole dang workout just to get one scoop out. A set of glass spice containers with built-in retractable spoons so you can easily access salt, pepper, and other spices without having to dirty another spoon or shove your fingers in the container. Say goodbye to grabbing a pinch of red pepper flakes and then accidentally rubbing your eyes. 🥴 A set of drizzle-preventing ice pop holders that can hold any popsicle on a stick ORRR pop out the bottom to hold ice cream cones. Now your kiddos can enjoy the delicious frozen treats they love without creating a mountain of laundry for you to do... or maybe worse, getting super sticky hands and touching ~everything~ in sight. A cat desk nest so you can keep your purrrfect angel baby close but not so close that they are fully on your keyboard preventing you from actually doing any work. Check out a TikTok of the desk nest in nest can rotate 360 degrees and has an adjustable height so you can make it perfect for your space. It can hold up to 25 pounds!This has been perfect for my husband's desk. We have three needy cats who love to walk all over computer keyboards and lay out across a huge chunk of the desk. This gives them a spot where they can stay close but out of the way. They're also all pretty chonky but I feel confident in this being able to hold them all review: "All three of my cats LOVE their desk nest. My longhaired cat used to be a pest about being on my lap or splayed out on top of the desk whenever I was working. Now, he happily curls up in the Desk Nest and my workspace is open. It is very easy to assemble and extremely sturdy. If you work from home and have a Velcro cat/cats, you need a Desk Nest!" —Shannon LeighGet it from Amazon for $179 (available in two colors). A bizarre and frankly unprotective-looking phone case that truly proves you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It's made with aerospace-grade aluminum that provides shock distribution to protect your phone from even the clumsiest people. Check out a TikTok of the phone case in action.I've had this phone case on for a couple of weeks now and I've been pretty impressed with it. I was honestly pretty confused when I first got it cause I didn't really understand how it was going to protect my phone since the majority is uncovered, but once I put it on and saw that it adds a lip to the screen, back, and camera, I realized my phone would be safe. I think the only way you could damage your phone is if you literally dropped it at the perfect angle on like a step or something where it hits the screen right in the center, but TBH I'm not worried about that perfect storm happening. I really like being able to actually feel my phone and not having a giant bulky case on it. Like, those things cost a lot, so why are we always hiding them in cheap cases?!Promising review: "The Arc Pulse is polarizing; people seem to either love it or hate it. It's funny, though, that most of the people who knock it have never tried it, and those who have tried it love it. It truly is a game changer, with above military-grade drop protection in a package that weighs a mere 18 grams, all while providing full access to the raw phone. Arc has accomplished something no other case maker has been able to. My new favorite case, by far." —ACBarnardGet it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two colors, find additional phone sizes here). A Totchop because parents notoriously only ever have one hand available, and when your toddler says they want strawberries, they mean NOW and not in three minutes. This unique design allows you to slice, chop, and dice with an easy rocking motion and, most importantly, only one hand. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara which is super futuristic and ahhh-mazing for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. Instead of rubbing the living heck out of your eyes at the end of a long day ~desperately~ trying to get all the mascara off, this stuff just magically glides off in little tubes to save you all that struggle when you just wanna go to bed. A splurge-worthy Cruiser City, the perfect love child of a stroller and wagon. You're getting all the room of a standard wagon but the steering and control of a stroller because you can push it instead of pulling it behind you and praying you aren't gonna run into something (or everything). An airtight Deli ProKeeper so you can toss those ugly deli bags and store your precious meats and cheeses inside this to keep them fresher longer. Not to mention, it'll help you maintain your ~aesthetic~ fridge vibes worthy of being in The Home Edit magazine. A Magic Tap automatic drink dispenser perfect for kiddos or anyone who has trouble lifting heavy (and awkwardly-shaped!) drink jugs. Now everyone can pour their own bevs without any fear of crying over spilled milk. A "Cup Claw" that'll help put an end to the horribly unfun game of trying to flatten out bra pads when they come out of the wash. It snags onto them like scissors so you can easily glide them back in and even them out. Come on, this is freakin' GENIUS. A "Beverage Buddee" can cover you can pop on top of your soda, seltzer, or beer to help protect it from getting any bugs or debris in it. It'll also help slow down any spills if your can gets knocked over. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder that'll help create silky smooth, poreless-looking, matte skin… I mean, come on, what kind of sorcery is this?! A food catcher designed to attach right to your highchair instead of resting on the floor so you don't have to break your back trying to pick up the collection of strawberries, chicken chunks, and pasta that is probably more than your kid actually ate. A cult-favorite Drowsy sleep mask to help you get the ultra-important blacked-out sleep you need with the skin protection you want. The padded mask will keep light out while the silk exterior helps prevent skin creases. Even the back and sides are silky, so you don't have to worry about waking up to a tangled mess of hair! Some cat bowls that are *gasp* square (!!) to fit perfectly into the corner of your room instead of the middle where you constantly kick them over. And they are taller than standard bowls to help promote a healthier posture. Check out the bowls on comes with one food bowl and one water bowl.A square bowl?! How revolutionary!! These are great because they are designed to be able to sit in corners instead of being out in the middle of a room. They're also tall which is great because that promotes a better posture for eating and drinking. PLUS, they are shallow, which helps prevent whisker fatigue. I've only had them for a little while, but so far my kitties seem to be loving them, and I love the look of them!Get a set of two from Cat by Dr. Lisa for $75 (available in three colors). A tube of Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, a TikTok favorite, which is an overnight mask that uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help improve elasticity and even out your skin tone. When you wake up, you just peel it away to reveal your refreshed skin. A chic under-the-cabinet banana hanger that helps keep them off your already limited counter and folds away when you're out of bananas for the week. A crinkle cutter tool to turn anything into a delicious, squiggly snack. Veggies, fruit, potatoes, cheese, you name it! Maybe make your picky eater and entirely crinkly meal and see if it entices them to eat more. A Doona Liki Trike that'll give you the best of both worlds by combining the needs of a stroller with the fun of a bike. Your kiddo can start riding at 10 months, and this bad boy will grow with them until they are 36 (!!) months old by becoming an actual tricycle. A sophisticated and leakproof laptop lunch tote with a secret insulated compartment to keep your drinks and lunch perfectly cool! The main part of the bag functions as a traditional tote, with room for your laptop, notebook, and other work necessities. But when lunch rolls around, *BOOM,* your coworkers won't know what hit 'em.

A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," which is the ultimate ooey, gooey, squishable fidget toy you won't ever want to put down. It has a satisfying squish and slow rise that will help calm you down and focus on your work. A rotating disco ball diffuser so you can turn your room into a spa to help you relax for bedtime, or a disco party to help pump you up during your afternoon slump. Whatever the vibes, this cutie will bring the party (and good scents). A baby NutriBullet to seamlessly create delicious purées for your kiddo so you can know exactly what's in the meals you feed them. With the different attachments and accessories, these will help make starting solids *much* easier. Plus those cutie faces are enough to motivate you even when you're feeling overwhelmed. Check out a TikTok of the Baby Bullet in set includes a 200-watt motor base, a baby blending blade, a 32-ounce batch bowl with lid, a 12-ounce short cup with handles and re-sealable lid, six storage cups with date ring lids and storage tray, a silicone freezer tray with lid, and a recipe of all, the tiny containers and little faces. 😍 I'm obsessed. This has been super helpful for starting solids with my daughter. While we aren't doing purées, per se, some foods just lend themselves to being blended, and there's no way I wanna break out the real gigantic blender for her like a tablespoon of food. This blends stuff up super well and the storage containers are really handy for when I have excess but don't wanna throw it away or put it into a full-size review: "I love this product. It's perfect if you're new to this and you're experimenting with puréeing new foods for your little one. It's sturdy, easy to use, and I am obsessed with the cute, compact storage options!" —AngieGet it from Amazon for $51.99.

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!

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 lip liner stain you apply, leave on for a little while, and peel away to create a perfect, long-lasting liner that'll stay on for up to 24 hours!! Promising review: "I've wanted to try this lip stain ever since I saw it on TikTok last year. It didn't disappoint either. The lip stain is thick, but goes on smoothly and leaves such a beautiful color. It will stain wherever it touches, keep that in mind when using it. I left mine on for a little longer than suggested and it lasted into the next day. 10/10 highly recommend!" —murphlovesitGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six shades).

Dear Abby: My coworker has been filling the office drinking fountain with lead-filled water
DEAR ABBY: The floor I work on has a cluster of offices surrounding a central kitchen area. Fifteen of us share the appliances, including a hot water reservoir with a tap. The building is old and has lead pipes, so a service brings in large plastic bottles for a water cooler. Usually, whoever arrives first in the morning fills the tank on the water heater from the cooler, and we all use it to make hot drinks during the day. I just found out that a new employee has been filling the tank from the contaminated tap! When I asked her about it, she said that the microplastics in the water jugs were more dangerous than the lead in the pipes. She's very committed to this idea and is not going to budge. I don't think this is right. I will heat my own water from now on, but how should I warn the others in the office? The source of our tea water seems like a silly thing to start an office tiff over, but I also think people need to know their water is unsafe. — NOT DRINKING IN NEW YORK DEAR NOT DRINKING: I agree the employees in your office should know about this. At least they will be on notice about which 'poison' they are consuming. Report this to HR or your employer, so the announcement can come from on high and you can stay out of the line of fire. DEAR ABBY: I have spent 40 years serving the public and my country, putting other people first and feeling guilty if I didn't. However, I am becoming resentful of the demands for my time. I'm retired, and my husband still works. We have always split the expenses 50-50, even though I make less than 40% of his income. Once I retired, my share of the household chores and errands increased from 75% to 90%. I wanted to make life easier for my husband, but now he expects me to run personal errands for him, too. All the wear and tear and gas usage is borne by my car, which is considerably older than his. I have a friend and walking partner who has been having different issues she needs help with. She has always talked about the close friends she has known for decades and sees regularly. They all live about 20 minutes away and are retired, in good health and able to drive. I offered her my help in the past, but now she and her friends think I should be her go-to person since I live closer to her than they do. I have my own schedule and routine now. I like having some days free to do what I feel like and not have to fulfill demands from others. How do I let people know my time is valuable and discourage them from expecting me to help them? — TOO NICE AND HELPFUL DEAR TOO NICE: It is not a crime to tell someone you don't have time to do what they want you to do. It's time to sign up for some assertiveness training so you can learn how to say no. (No, I'm not kidding.) If you do as I suggest, it might even improve your marriage. Your doctor or health insurance company can refer you to someone qualified. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
