To quote Snoop Dogg, future you will be like: "I want to thank me for believing in myself, I want to thank me for doing all this hard work."
1. A pair of high-waisted ~DreamLux~ leggings that reviewers compare to the more expensive Lululemon Align ones because of their similar buttery-soft feel and moisture-wicking design! And just think — if you opt for several pairs, you'll always have the perfect bottoms for lounging, light workouts, and running errands. You might need to pat yourself on the back for scoring 'em at this price!
Amazon
Promising reviews:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson
"I was so surprised by how amazing these leggings are. They feel exactly like Lululemon Align. They are so soft. I am buying every color!" — Kena T.

2. The no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner — simply spray down your shower and rinse it 8–12 hours later (definitely before your next shower) to get rid of soap scum and mildew taking over your tub or shower stall! Work smarter, not harder.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

Promising review:"I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes.

9. An "Everyday Mindfulness"-themed word search book with 84 fill-in-the-blank puzzles, anagram searches, and more to help keep you relaxed and busy without doom-scrolling through your phone (which these days is quite the opposite of relaxing!).
Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" — TheWalkFam

11. Orrrrr a heated eye massager featuring five massage modes, Bluetooth music capability, vibration, and heat cycles, with a 15-minute timer for each, so you don't even have to worry about pressing a button to turn it off. Seriously, I own this and it has been a LIFESAVER when it comes to dealing with migraines, headaches, and eye strain after hours of screen time. It's worth the splurge to just enjoy 15 minutes of pure bliss and be whisked off into a world of soothing sounds and a massage that hits your temple just right.
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon's must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn't interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" — Amazon Customer

www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 17 styles and multipacks).
13. A retinol body lotion featuring a blend of skin-loving ingredients including vitamin A and E, shea butter, green tea, and aloe vera to help keep your skin moisturized and hydrated while also reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, aging skin, and even sun damage!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTockAlice
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two-pack).
14. An internet-famous pink cleaning paste to help you tackle the most difficult of messes in your home, from a permanent marker art piece on your wall to scuffs on your brand-new sneakers.

Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" — May
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.
15. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo featuring a blend of botanical extracts to help thicken the appearance of your lovely tresses.

Some reviewers even recommend pairing this shampoo with a scalp massager to really work it into your roots! Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Maple Holistics is a small biz offering unique beauty products created with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and two scents).
16. A styling station that's designed with silicone and heat-resistant mesh to safely store all your hot tools, even if you have to rush out of the house. You'll bring a lot of relief to your future self when you're not randomly panic-slash-wondering if you left your straightener on and sitting on the countertop. 😅
Amazon
Plus, it conveniently hangs on your towel rack!
Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer
17. A top-rated, no scrub mold and mildew stain remover — it removes gross-looking stains from grout and caulk in your bathroom overnight (over 7,500 reviewers have given it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Tackling those stubborn, persistent, revolting spots isn't an impossible task anymore, and you can avoid breaking the bank for someone else to re-caulk your bathroom!
Promising review:"Didn't think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn't think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn't quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." — thekuan
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
18. An adjustable cabinet door organizer and towel rack duo with a hanging basket to store your foil, storage bags, cutting boards, and more on the interior of your cabinet.

Promising reviews:"This works great for my little kitchen. I put cutting boards and smaller cookie sheets in one, and baggies of all sizes in the other. Easy extra space." — keldasings
"I absolutely love this cutting board organizer! This holds all of my cutting boards with more than enough room and even makes for cute decor in the kitchen with the external towel racks. The height of the basket is adjustable which helps make it easier to fit in a variety of different spaces! I may buy another one for cookbooks. :)" — Carly Mabli
Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.99.
19. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, which is formulated with THREE different kinds of hyaluronic acid for plumping, caffeine, and antioxidant-rich yerba mate to help protect the skin.

The morning-after-you would kiss the ground you walk on for having this in your purse, beauty cabinet, or vanity drawer after a long night in a TikTok rabbit hole!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Caffeine can brighten skin if that's something you're looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith
"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey or like there's a ton of product on." — K. Grant
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
20. A pack of foil liners for catching broken pasta noodles, oil drips, and boiling over water that *somehow* find their way outside of the pot. They'll help keep your stove top cleaner (or at least easier to clean) and if they start looking gross, just toss and replace!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
21. Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges, which are designed to fit perfectly underneath the coiled burner. With this, you won't have to buy a specially-sized tool to scrub away spills, splatters, or other messes that slink their way down there!
Promising review:"These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." — chem grad student
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
22. A storage strip with four hooks and four hanging slots to vertically store your brooms, mops, dustpans, and other cleaning tools in order to free up closet and cabinet space. It's possible the future version of yourself might clean more knowing the tools are easier to access... but only time will tell!
Promising review:"Installation was simple and the organizer keeps everything securely in place. The wall mount feature saves floor space. The cleaning tool organizer has significantly improved my cleaning routine. It is functional, durable, and helps maintain an organized space. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their supplies in order." — Yuly
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two colors).
23. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars boasting a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots wherever you want to.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I'm usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." — Adrienne Jerkins
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in various pack sizes and bundles).
24. A rotating utensil holder because it's a billion times easier to make your own meals when you can grab the tools you need without going through every cabinet and drawer in the kitchen. This rotating canister can hold around 15 large utensils, so who knows? You may end up a Gordon Ramsay–level home cook by the end of the year just by better organizing your kitchen!
Promising review:"I cook a LOT. I had a utensil holder, but it wasn't big enough so it was hard to slide the utensils in — and if it was semi-empty, they were tilting and falling. I threw it away and used a drawer but then was super sick of digging through everything to get what I needed, especially when you have something on the stove and you need it pronto. I ordered this and love it. It rotates so you can spin it around to get what you need really quickly, has three dividers in it (so the utensils aren't falling over every time you pull one out), and is big enough to fit everything. I have maxed it out with all my utensils — I have 16 cooking utensils in it at a time. It also looks really nice and sleek on the counter. I highly recommend this product." — Jessie
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
25. A weekend-ready duffel bag that's water-resistant, durable, and features a back panel for looping through your carry-on handle. And the super roomy interior even has a pocket designed for carrying wet clothes or toiletries. Time for a road trip!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I recently went camping and was able to pack a lot into this bag. It zipped up easily. I love the color, it's almost a 'neutral pink' and not too 'look at me, I'm Barbie in the woods!' The shoulder strap was comfortable, and the handles were comfortable, too. It was snowing while unloading from the truck to the cabin, and despite this bag getting wet (and VERY cold), everything inside was very dry." — Smile Saurus
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in a variety of colors/styles and two sizes).
26. A hydrating Cosrx repairing essence, a top-rated serum made up of 96.3% snail secretion for a lightweight formula that helps hydrate and restore dry, dull skin, leaving you with a glowing complexion. Whoever thought about adopting a snail's skincare "secret" might actually be a genius.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
New to essences? Try applying this after cleansing but before your moisturizer. Applying it to clean skin and under you moisturizer will help lock in all that snail mucin goodness!
Promising review:"This is a product that works for anybody! I apply it once I have washed my face on damp skin. It can be slightly slimy, once again it is snail mucin, but you only really feel it when you apply it to dry skin. I usually allow it to dry for a bit until it becomes slightly tacky before I put a moisturizer on. I have combination skin. My forehead and chin tend to be oilly but my cheeks dry and this has really evened that out. I really recommend this because it isn't harsh to the skin and perfect for beginners." — Nelita Henry
Get it from Amazon for $18.49.
27. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads designed to kill bacteria and viruses lurking on the inside of your porcelain throne. Simply pop on one of the refill sponge heads, scrub the inside of the bowl, and then throw it away! Cleaning the toilet *literally* couldn't be simpler.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The kit includes a wand, six refill heads filled with Clorox, and a storage caddy that sits right next to toilet! The wand is easy to use and has a button to pop the used sponge head off, so you don't have to touch it — and the sponge heads are even designed specifically to fit under the rim of your toilet!
Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
28. The best-selling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that boasts a blend of caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to help *visibly* firm and moisturize skin. Plus, the ah-may-zing creamy scent of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla? Don't be surprised if you receive a telegram from future you in the summer applauding all the TLC you put in!
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub).
29. A set of heat-resistant oven liners to catch food drippings and spills when your pies and casseroles bubble over while baking. And you can easily wash them by hand or in the dishwasher whenever necessary!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The liners can be cut to size to ensure the perfect fit!
Promising review:"I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" — Lakeisland Girl
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $16.99.
30. A Pikk-it tool specifically designed to remove hair that's tangled in the vacuum head and make it work less than optimally. You think your fingers can reach all the hair in there, but this nifty tool will prove you wrong and get it *real* clean!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
31. A slicker brush to help remove matting and clumps of fabric, so your sheepskin rug looks and feels as expensive as the price tag it came with. If you own anything fleece or plush and want to return it back to its original condition (or close), then you absolutely need this!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" — Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
32. A pair of seamless and reusable Nippies, which allow you to wear your favorite tops and dresses without worrying about stubborn bra straps or nipples showing through. The reviewers who swear by these are screaming "Fuuuuuuutuuuuuuure" at how well they stay put for hours and restick through repeated uses!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
Promising review: "I've tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don't move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily. It's magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I've got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I'm suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it's minimal. They're more pricey than others I've bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" — Alison
Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades and three sizes: one that fits cups A–C, one that fits cups D+, and another that first cups DD+; also available with or without lift).
33. A super long duster, so you can finally reach ridiculously high ceiling fans, light fixtures, or far enough back underneath your couch or credenza for a proper clean! Banish all that dust and grime on your surfaces and vents with barely any effort...and possibly even while sitting on the couch since it can extend over 8 feet.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BTW, the microfiber head can be removed and cleaned in the washing machine!
Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments).
34. A gross but oh-so-satisfying exfoliating foot mask — these booties are created with a fruit acid formula and sixteen other natural plant and fruit extracts that penetrate deep into the skin during an hour-long soak.

Promising review:"My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn't burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It's REALLY gross looking, so make sure you don't need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it's totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I've recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." — Mostly Maven

35. A very viral veggie chopper that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. It comes with four interchangeable dice blades — two chopping blades and two spiralizers — and a built-in storage container that you can use to prep and store food! The version of you that has to cook after a long day at work will be oh-so-grateful when meal prep takes minutes and not hours. 😮💨
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The 4-in-1 version includes two chopping blades (one for small cubes and one for larger cubes), two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter), a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers (all of which are dishwasher safe!). The lid is designed with a built-in chopper and fits the storage container, so it all drops inside after prepping!
Fullstar is a small business that specializes in unique and functional kitchen gadgets.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in four styles and five colors).
36. A pomade hair wax stick to tame flyaways, stubborn curls, and other wild tresses with a simple swipe and brush! It delivers instant hold without leaving any greasy residue or glaring shine, and it conveniently fits in your purse, too.
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 timesaver 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
"I have 4a–4b curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others which to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways however were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say, you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy product. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).
37. A bottle of no-scrub, no-rinse, nontoxic Folex spot remover that effectively removes stains like yellow mustard grease drippings from your favorite takeout, ink, makeup after a hard nap, muddy paw prints, and sooooo much more from pretty much any fabric surface. The next time you spill red wine on the couch because of a White Lotus plot twist? You won't have to panic over how to clean it!
www.amazon.com
In order to use this no-scrub product, all you have to do is apply it to the stain, gently rub it in (it's safe for humans and pets), and then blot with a cloth. It may take a couple of rounds, but you'll definitely see the mess disappear in no time! Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action!
Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks).
38. A root touchup powder you can apply directly on your gray hairs to make them ✨ disappear ✨ or along your hairline for a fuller appearance. This will become your best-kept beauty secret, just like the other over 16,000 customers who rated it 5 stars!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Of course, gray hair can be stunning (hello, Storm?!), so don't feel pressured to cover up your gorgeous silver strands!

Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." — Amazon Customer
"LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." — Catie B.
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

Aussies stunned to realise common food 'isn't normal' anywhere else in the world
When you're in a hurry and feeling peckish, grabbing some sushi is often the quickest way to satisfy your hunger while still eating something healthy. With most shopping centres, train stations and main streets equipped with a takeaway sushi restaurant, the Japanese delicacy has become the meal of choice for everyone from fussy toddlers to busy office workers. Aside from being delicious, sushi is also a great to-go option thanks to the fact that you can eat it almost anywhere (and with just one hand) thanks to the way the rolls are made. But while we Aussies are no strangers to single, long rolls of seaweed wrapped goodness, a viral video has highlighted that the way we do sushi down under is not the norm. Dietician En Min Saw recently took to TikTok to poke fun at herself for starting to think that "Australian sushi" was the rule, instead of the exception. "How did I forget this wasn't normal?" Min quips in the clip, which has now been viewed more than 3 million times. "After living here for two years, I see it every day and honestly never thought twice about it," Min tells Yahoo Lifestyle of Aussie sushi rolls. "But it recently hit me that this type of sushi isn't really common anywhere else in the world. RELATED: Expat reveals unique issue Americans face in Coles and Woolworths: 'How dare you' American expat reveals most 'confusing' part of moving to Australia: 'Isn't as natural here' Well-known Aussie phrase leaves expat floored: 'What do you mean?' She adds, "I had a feeling the video would gain some traction, because it was such a perspective-shifting realisation for me — I figured others would resonate with it too. But I didn't expect it to blow up as much as it did, reaching over 3 million views (so far!). My favourite comments are people asking what 'normal' sushi looks like and the really wholesome messages from people who say it's such a genius, convenient idea. I love it!" Indeed, Min's video was positively flooded with comments from confused Aussies who had never realised (until now) that it's not at all common for sushi to be served as one long roll. "I thought this was normal. 😂 this is just sushi," one comment reads. "I've lived in Aus all my life and I thought this is normal sushi," says another. "As an Australian, HOW IS IT MEANT TO LOOK?!," one person begged. "I'm from Asia and I just moved to Australia, I am confused as hell when I first saw that, but it's very convenient and perfect if you need a grab-to-go meal," yet another person added. For anyone wondering how people manage to eat sushi on the go in other parts of the world, Min says, "I've heard that in the UK and US, sushi rolls are also sold as convenient to-go options, though they're not quite as common as they are here in Australia. "In Japan, while hand rolls (like cones or cylinders) are served, they're typically enjoyed fresh at the restaurant rather than as takeaway. Instead, Japan's common grab-and-go sushi alternative is usually onigiri — rice balls wrapped in seaweed." Another feature of Min's comment section was that people were eager for everyone to know that their country also makes sushi in ways that would make our heads spin. "You should look up Chilean sushi," one of Min's followers said. "We have sushi burgers…" "I mean... in Brazil we got FRIED sushi," someone else shared. "Can I just say, I love when people comment with 'You think that's not normal? Check out MY country!' — I think it's absolutely hilarious," Min tells us. "Brazilian sushi in particular caught my attention; one of the comments mentioned they make sushi in the shape of a hot dog or pizza, and with lots of cream cheese, which honestly sounds so wild." Reflecting on why "Australian sushi" is so popular - to the point that many of us consider it to be the "norm" Min says, "I think a huge selling point is that it's made to suit Aussie tastes, with all kinds of fillings - although stuffing your sushi with chicken and avocado may very likely be a crime in Japan! Plus, it's a convenient, budget-friendly option when you want something quick and tasty."

But I think as long as it's done with respect and appreciation for the original culture, putting your own spin on it is part of how food evolves and brings people together. Making that video was such a fun experience — there were so many layers to explore and stories to uncover behind it."

This Kopari setting spray with SPF is my secret for glowy, protected skin
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Sunscreen has always had an image problem. Historically sticky, ghostly and as sensorially appealing as dish soap, it's rarely been the darling of anyone's top shelf. But that was before Kopari Beauty decided to reimagine SPF — not as a utilitarian chore, but as a shimmering, skin-loving, makeup-locking luxury. Enter: Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist SPF 50, a product where skincare, sunscreen and setting spray collide (in the best way). At its heart, Sunglaze is sunscreen, yes, but that's like calling a supermodel 'tall.' It's also a setting spray, a radiance booster and a midday refresh ritual disguised as sun protection. The formula is a dream team of heavy hitters: hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid for hydration; vitamin C and vitamin E for antioxidant armor; and a dusting of responsibly sourced mica to achieve that highly sought-after 'glass skin' finish without edging into disco ball territory. As soon as I saw everyone on TikTok raving about the product, I knew I had to try it. SPF that I can reapply without impacting my makeup? Yes, please. Not to mention, my wedding makeup artist was raving about this setting spray as a knockout product for brides to don on their wedding day. While dermatologists recommend wearing SPF daily, some makeup artists recommend avoiding it if you can on your wedding day to avoid a flashback in photos. But, with this setting spray containing SPF 50? You'll be protected and glowy all day. And then, an Ulta Beauty employee recommended the new Kopari setting spray to a client at my local store, so that's when I thought, 'That's it — I have to review it next.' Amazon Pros: Contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin Contains SPF 50 to act as your new favorite sunscreen, especially over makeup Lightweight, cooling and refreshing Cons: Higher price point Fragrance may be too strong for highly reactive skin, but not a dealbreaker Fine mists are notoriously hard to get right; some are too aggressive, leaving you drenched. Others are too soft and leave you spritzing into the void. But the Sunglaze delivers a veil so microfine, it borders on meditative. Simply shake, close your eyes, mist and prepare for a moment of pure, glowy transcendence. The fragrance, which is a bright blend of citrus and mint, is more 'poolside Aperol spritz' than 'drugstore SPF.' Better yet, it plays well with makeup. There's no pilling, caking or melting. There's only a post-facial glow that looks intentional and definitely not oily. Think of it as insurance for your face, dressed up in a resort-chic bottle. About the Product As mentioned, the Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist SPF 50 has become a viral sensation on TikTok, praised for delivering a radiant 'glass-skin' finish while providing broad-spectrum sun protection. This lightweight, non-greasy mist dries quickly, making it ideal for setting makeup or refreshing your skincare routine throughout the day. It's impressively infused with all of the right ingredients, including hyaluronic acid (a dermatologist's version of the Met Gala, essentially), polyglutamic acid, and vitamins C and E. So, it hydrates and brightens the skin, leaving a dewy, natural glow. The mist also contains ethically sourced mica, which imparts a luminous finish without the use of glitter. The product's formulation includes active sunscreen ingredients such as avobenzone (3%), homosalate (0.5%), octisalate (5%) and octocrylene (10%), offering effective protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. The mist also features a blend of citrus and spearmint oils that contribute to its refreshing, almost cooling scent. Notably, the formula is free from PEGs, silicones, phthalates, sulfates and artificial colorants, so it's a clean beauty lover's heaven-sent wish. My Review Victoria Giardina Let's talk visuals. The millennial-pink bottle with its sunbeam shimmer photographs well and proves that reapplying SPF is a lifestyle choice, not a burden. It's vacation in a bottle, whether you're on the Amalfi Coast or stuck in traffic with the AC on full blast. It also slips seamlessly into the lives of skincare maximalists and makeup lovers alike. As a commerce beauty writer who reappplies over a full face between meetings, it's a lifesaver. For the no-makeup minimalist who wants their skin to beam with dewy health, it's a shortcut to that enviable, 'I woke up like this' luminosity. To use, I shake the bottle well before I apply. With my eyes closed, I hold the spray 8 to 10 inches away from your face and mist generously and evenly. I like to apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, especially after sweating or swimming. Of course, avoid spraying directly into your eyes. This versatile mist can be used over makeup or skincare, making it a convenient option for on-the-go sun protection and a glowing finish. While it's a bit more expensive than your average makeup finisher, it's well worth it for its multi-faceted charm. In terms of staying power, your makeup will stay put the entire day. This is an absolute *blessing* for my combination skin that tends to look flaky or streaky at times. This product is undeniably about glow. It doesn't mattify or blur but enhances, reflects and shines. On most skin types, it's luminous perfection. Note: I have combination skin, and on oilier complexions, it might lean too glossy without a touch of powder. While the mica is finely milled and flattering, I can see how some people may find shimmer unnecessary in a utilitarian product like sunscreen. But maybe that's the point: SPF doesn't need to be so serious anymore. The scent, while refreshing, is a bit too strong but given this product's great affinity for a natural glow, it isn't a dealbreaker in the slightest for me. You should always do a patch test before applying any product, though, especially if you have highly sensitive skin. The bottom line In short, Kopari's Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist SPF 50 is a breath of tropical air. It's fun, effective and unapologetically pretty. It won't replace your beach-day mineral base coat, but it will revolutionize how you reapply SPF, especially when you're already wearing a full face of makeup and running late. For the glow-obsessed, the beauty maximalist or the skincare pragmatist who refuses to look dull, this mist might just be your new favorite summer fling.
