This checkered cutting board is so cute that the next time you say "we have food at home" you'll actually be *excited* about it.
1. A set of transparent sticky notes reviewers love not just for the aesthetic, but because it makes it easier to leave notes in books and study guides without interrupting the ~flow~ of the text.
Amazon
Promising review:"For someone who is a big note-taker, these are perfect. Durable, easy, and not to mention aesthetically pleasing! Definitely will be purchasing more!" — penny
Get a pack of 50 sheets from Amazon for $5.99 (available in seven colors).
2. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents.
Amazon
Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers.
Check out a TikTok of Touchland in action.
Promising review:"Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" — Briana R.
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options).
3. 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.
4. A set of square stemmed wineglasses inspired by the iconic Crate & Barrel version, except these are durable as heck (good for particularly rowdy wine-and-cheese nights). Reviewers especially love these chic, understated glasses because they work well for red and white wines.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
5. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs.

Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances!
Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four styles).
6. A pair of waterproof wireless earbuds with AirPods Pro energy — except these feature a charging case that, bless its technologically savvy heart, has an LED display letting you know exactly how much charge is left. Reviewers also love how delightfully comfortable and sweatproof these are, making them a solid, affordable option for talking on the phone and exercising.
Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" — Erin
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in eight colors).
7. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price.
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point.
Promising review: "These headphones surprised me. I thought they were not going to be as great because of how cheap they are, but the bass is amazing! The noise cancellation is so good that I can't hear anything. The volume is loud and sound quality is a win, and just how I like it. Very snug and comfy, recommend! Thanks TikTok, lol :)." — Chevelle Revero

Amazon, www.amazon.com
BrüMate is a small business that specializes in mugs, tumblers, coolers, and other insulated products.

The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you're hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold. Highly recommend!" — Horace Dixon
Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in 16 colors and two sizes).
9. 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).

Amazon
Promising review:"I eventually need all the colors. I absolutely love this crossbody! I f you are a Lululemon fan, I'm telling you, try this bag! First of all, it's bigger. The guitar strap is key. It's very comfortable around your body. Inside also has two small pockets that you could put credit cards in, and then it has one zipper pocket and a very large inside. I would like to get all the colors at some point! I really don't think that I could buy another bag!" — Kristen
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in six colors).
13. A deeply adorable retro-style portable Bluetooth keyboard you can connect to your tablet, phone, or computer to easily type if you're working while traveling (or just want to e-mail everyone about that croissant you just ate).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review:"So I'll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video. However, I'm in love with this thing! It's so much fun to use, and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special. It's easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you're on the fence I'd say what are you waiting for buy it already!" — Denise
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in dozens of styles).
15. An absorbent floral dish drying mat so lovely that you'll actually — gasp — look forward to doing the dishes? The "main character in a rom com" energy of this mat is too strong to resist.
Promising review:"This mat is perfect. It absorbs water from washed dishes well and provides a protective buffer between dishes and our granite countertops. After use, you can hang the mat; it will dry out in minutes. The mat is both decorative and functional. This was a great purchase. There will be no more wet dish towels to contend with. I highly recommend this product." — Cambodian Nurse

Because it's only a matter of time.)
Amazon, www.amazon.com

It's basically two deeply functional (and sleek??) coffee makers in one.
Amazon
Promising review:"I love this design! In the past, we have used Keurig and Hamilton Beach products. We are replacing coffee makers every two years. This design is more simplistic and brews a hot cup of coffee. You can actually see the steam. It's very easy to use, and I love that you can use fresh coffee grounds or a K-cup. This makes me want to buy the whole line of products for the kitchen." — HJ

This Korean Shampoo Doubles As Hair Perfume & Actually Delivers Results

All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. As someone who doesn't get a trim as often as she should (I'm growing my hair out, okay?), I expect a lot from my humble shampoo and conditioner. I want them to cleanse my scalp and strands of the daily lashings of dry shampoo, not to mention smooth frizz, minimise split ends, boost shine and make my lengths smell incredible. I don't think that's a tall order, especially given how far haircare tech has come. But it's my job to test these products out, and you'd be surprised how many brands underdeliver. So when I heard that Kundal — Korea's number one shampoo brand — had just landed at Boots, I sat up, took note, and headed straight to TikTok to see what all the fuss was about. While Korea's skincare continues to enjoy the spotlight, it's now haircare's turn to shine, with Kundal taking centre stage. On TikTok, the hashtag #Kundal now has over 17.3K posts and counting, many racking up tens of thousands of views, likes and comments. The consensus? It's one of the best-smelling — yes, smelling — hair brands out there. According to the brand's legions of fans, hair perfume has nothing on Kundal's shampoo range, which features fragrances like White Musk (clean, soft, and powdery), Cherry Blossom (lightly floral and refreshing) and Violet Muguet (sweet and slightly green). There are also matching conditioning treatments, a scalp tonic and a post-wash serum, all of which smell just as good. In fact, some are even filming themselves 'blind' reviewing the collection based on scent alone. It seems the most popular scent is White Musk — a warm 'skin scent' with a spicy, intimate edge. As luck would have it, White Musk was the fragrance that landed on my desk, namely the Honey & Macadamia Shampoo White Musk, £14.99, and the Honey & Macadamia Protein Treatment White Musk, £14.99. It's not all hype — they do smell incredible. Hours after using the shampoo and treatment, my partner walked into a bathroom that smelled like a high-end spa. He was convinced I'd spritzed on perfume before bed. Nope, just my hair. Ask any fragrance obsessive how to smell good all day, and I bet they'll recommend a hair perfume. Unlike regular fragrance sprayed on skin or clothes, hair perfume really lingers, and the natural movement of your lengths means you catch heavenly wafts throughout the day. But here's the thing: A lot of them contain alcohol, which can be drying on already parched or fragile strands. The beauty of Kundal's hair collection is that it's not all scent over substance; the incredible fragrance is suspended in a handful of nourishing ingredients. I'll start with the shampoo. The ingredients list boasts an abundance of smoothing, shine-enhancing plant oils, including coconut, avocado, macadamia and jojoba oils. Then there's ultra-moisturising shea butter to reduce dryness and frizz, plus mild surfactants like lauryl hydroxysultaine to cleanse the scalp and strands without stripping. Don't underestimate it, though. The lather is rich and creamy, and I only need to shampoo once, rather than twice like usual. My hair always feels light and clean, not weighed down or greasy. It's been two days since I last washed my hair, and I can still smell the subtle, powdery, musky scent on my strands. Then there's the protein treatment, a favourite among people with all hair types — especially those with type 4 natural hair, who love its moisturizing benefits. One content creator even called it ' life-saving ' for her curls. I have fine hair, but a lot of it, and I use the treatment as a conditioner, letting it work its magic for around five minutes. As the name suggests, the star ingredients are proteins, particularly hydrolyzed soy protein, hydrolyzed keratin, and silk amino acids. Certified trichologist Angela Onuoha had previously told me that, in haircare, proteins are considered a type of conditioning agent, and that every hair type can benefit from them to help protect and temporarily repair hair from heat damage and environmental stressors like harsh weather and pollution. @thatssotrending I'm on a healthy hair journey. @KUNDAL US is making it easier for the natural hair community. My type 4 hair felt so good after using these products! 💜💜💜 #kundalxbeautyko #kundal #naturalhairtiktok #type4hair #curlyhairproducts #washday #healthyhairjourney #haircare #haircareproducts #koreanbeauty ♬ original sound - Jacobdior Onuoha explained that most proteins latch onto the surface of hair strands, forming a protective film that smooths the hair shaft. The result? Softer, shinier-looking hair. The proteins in this treatment are 'hydrolysed' — essentially broken down into smaller molecules. Onuoha also noted that hydrolysed proteins can potentially penetrate the hair shaft to help strengthen it from within, offering further protection against damage. I judge a treatment by how it makes my hair feel when I rinse it out, and I was surprised by how silky it was, not to mention how easily it disappeared. Most treatments leave behind a greasy residue, but this felt more like a lightweight conditioner that left my hair — especially my very split ends — feeling soft and looking a hell of a lot healthier. Of course, a good hair oil helps, too. I absolutely love Kérastase Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops Hair Oil, £38.80, and while it's the most expensive product in my routine, a little goes a very long way. Speaking of price, I was surprised to learn that Kundal's 500ml shampoo and treatment are just £14.99 each. Suppose you're using one pump of each — my maths is a little rusty, but I think that works out to around 6p per pump. Considering the incredible fragrance, not to mention the megamix of expert-approved ingredients, I'd say the brand is well worth the money. Better still, it's available on the high street at Boots. My advice? Grab a shampoo and treatment duo before they sell out — and if TikTok's fragrance enthusiasts have anything to do with it, they certainly will.

Rae's Addison comes a year since she first began teasing new music. Last June, she posted a video of her underwater as the then-unreleased track 'Aquamarine' played over it. Lead single 'Diet Pepsi' was dropped in August, with 'Aquamarine' officially arriving a couple months later. Ahead of the album, she unveiled five total songs off the LP, all with their own videos.

The visual was directed by photographer Ethan James Green. Rae's debut album was written and produced by Rae with Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser, both of whom are Max Martin's protégées. 'We were both shocked [that] her taste leaned very left and underground at times,' Kloser told Rolling Stone in Rae's cover story earlier this year. Addison arrives nearly four years after Rae first tried to make the jump from TikTok stardom to pop. She released her first single 'Obsessed' in 2021, which ended up not taking off as she hoped. She ended up scrapping her first EP, but after the songs leaked and generated buzz online, she put them out in 2023. Rae has since signed to Columbia Records. Before unveiling her solo songs, she further cemented more Main Pop Girl points by appearing on a remix of Charli XCX's 'Von Dutch.' She has performed the song live with XCX at a Brat release show in Los Angeles as well as the UK star's 2025 Coachella set.
