36 Products That Are Anything But Boring
A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality. Lip care that also tastes like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $5?? My friends, life is good. 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. Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30, a wildly beloved "dessert for your skin" that feels so lightweight and decadent to apply that reviewers can't get enough of it. (No, REALLY. This is selling out all over 😭.) Not only does it feel ridiculously indulgent, but it's water-resistant and sensitive skin-friendly, so you'll be the sweetest AND safest treat. A set of cheerful Lego botanical "happy plants," aka your new favorite coworkers. How can capitalism bring you down when these two are smiling up at you all day long? All the joys of having an office plant without the shame of your coworkers being like, "Shouldn't you ... maybe ... water that??" A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram the other day and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness. If you like highlighting your planner pages, favorite passages from books, or lines from your journal, please do yourself a favor and purchase these subtle but oh-so-sparkly colors to jazz them up ✨. Patchology's "Rosé Toes" moisturizing foot mask to give your dry, cracked heels some shea butter, strawberry oil-infused relief in ten minutes flat — not unlike the glass of rosé that hits at Friday happy hour. Reviewers are genuinely impressed by how much of a difference these make in so little time! A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick for some sweet, sweet relief when you wake up with puffy, aching eyes. This formula is blended with Iceland glacial water to help tighten skin and tackle dark circles so you look and feel more ~refreshed~. Wikki Stix, the ultimate in mess-free, silent, distracting fidgets — you can take these little wax sticks and push them into any shape you please, and stick them on surfaces without worrying about residue or marks. Parents especially love these for when kids are waiting at restaurants or on flights! A light up solar frog figurine for your garden or porch so when you come home from that "just one drink" dinner past midnight, this croaky lil' fella can lovingly judge you for it. McCormick's Potato Topping Seasoning for anyone who's not afraid to get a little feral about their air-fried, mashed, and baked potatoes — this blend of salt, garlic, and asiago cheese is so mouthwateringly delicious that you'll be dumping it on everything from popcorn to grilled cheese to guacamole. A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame. Yankee Candle's Midsummer's Night, or what I like to call a "goth summer candle," as a perfectly moody way to usher in the warmer weather if you're not a big fan of sweetness and floral. Reviewers compare this alluring blend of musk, patchouli, sage, and mahogany to a soft cologne. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," another release 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. A "Penny the Penguin" silicone measuring cup designed with an easy grip, an even easier spout pour, and a design so adorable that you'll bake yourself out of house and home just for an excuse to use her. Case-Mate's iconic waterproof beach totes, which are, of course, ridiculously roomy and useful, but more importantly, RIDICULOUSLY cute. This is it "It" accessory of the beach if there ever were one. Get ready to be swimming in the ocean AND in compliments from strangers. Bonus — it even comes with a separate dry bag for your phone! An adorable little puppy night-light with a soft white glow that makes it the perfect critter for gently illuminating bedrooms and bathrooms at night. It even has eight different color modes so you can finally live your childhood dream of having a purple dog! Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300 mg of caffeine per cup. 👀 A Godzilla microwave cleaner you can fill with water and vinegar and stick in the microwave. After five minutes, the gunk will be so loose that you can DESTROYYYYYY it all the way this big dude came after Manhattan. A set of hair-tie bracelets designed to look like *actual* jewelry, so you won't be kicking yourself when you realize you left a hair tie on your wrist for every photo. A set of cowboy straw toppers to add some much-needed "yeehaw!" into your hydration regimen, and keep your straws safe from germs out here in the wild, bacterial West. A set of slanted stemmed wineglasses in muted colors for anyone who loves to make their guests go "Ooooh" when they host a lil' happy hour. A set of cat-shaped dual-sided sponges that dared to ask, "What if we turned Scrub Daddy sponges into cats and also made them way more affordable?" These are the purrrrfect solution for your kitchen aesthetic *and* budget. A guided visual sloth "breathing partner" you can use for meditation and calm to shift your mindset. This is designed to guide you through either the popular 4/7/8 or 5/5 "calming breaths" to help reduce stress and anxiety, using colors that fade in and out softly as cues. Bonus: it's kid friendly! A "Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier. A pair of "three dimensional" frog earrings so adorable that regular earrings can pack it in — it's all about this cute lil' frog booty now. A Frenchie-themed cheese board to serve some top notch char-woof-erie at your next party. A stress-relieving mini bookshelf full of itty bitty little books you can pull out individually and reorganize to your precise liking. The world may be vast and out of control, but everything is juuuust so in your happy little library. A set of itty bitty ceramic rice ball vases that all onigiri lovers deserve to have on their desk as a delicious aesthetic. LOOK AT THESE HAPPY BUBS. A set of dainty but surprisingly strong bow-shaped hair clips to pair with all your frilliest dresses or to add a soft touch your more structured work outfits. A set of obscenely adorable flower vase fridge magnets that look so hyper realistic that it's only a matter of time before a family of fairies moves into your kitchen, confusing it with their own. This arrives with the vases separate from the flowers, so you can mix and match the colors yourself! A cheeky pair of double-buckle slides that look like what happens when a Birkenstock from the 2000s falls in love with a jelly sandal from the '90s in a forbidden time-crossed romance. A fire escape wall shelf so you can add a nostalgic city aesthetic to your room, plus make your knick-knacks reenact scenes from Spider-Man movies. Bonus — this is a great alternative to the $200 (!!) version at Urban Outfitters. A "float-tea unicorn" to make steeping your tea downright magical every morning, no matter *how* much caffeine you need to get yourself across today's rainbow. A sword-shaped grater for anyone out there who isn't just a cheese lover, but a cheese gladiator. Fight valiantly, my dairy-tolerant friends. A spinning pill dispenser to make taking your meds feel like a game show or a trip to the carnival — sometimes you have to ~romanticize your life~ to remember the essentials in your daily routine!! You can even attach this to a wall or the fridge if you're feeling it. Built's "Puff Protein Bars" that are basically chocolate-covered marshmallows that also, by some witchcraft, have 17 entire grams of protein in them?? And NO weird aftertaste. If you are also someone who is in a perpetual state of "I need protein or I will bite someone's brain off," I am telling you, nothing in this WORLD will feel better than pulling one of these out of your bag.

Tributes flood in for beloved community DJ who died suddenly aged 42
The family of a beloved local DJ who suddenly passed away last week have paid tribute to her, calling her 'one of a kind' with an 'infectious energy' who would 'do anything for anyone'. Preferring not to go by her surname - instead affectionately known to all as Zoey Poey - long-time Salford resident Zoe was 42 years old when she suddenly passed away on July 3. She had been a prolific DJ at venues across the North West, including Back to the Dock in Liverpool and the Vestry bar in Chorley, where she has a residency.

Never miss a story with the MEN's daily Catch Up newsletter - get it in your inbox by signing up here "We're holding a special day to celebrate the life and memory of our beautiful friend," Vestry bar said in a Facebook post. "She brought energy and vibrance to us and lit up the bar every time she walked in." "Let's fill Vestry with the kind of energy and joy Zoe always brought into our lives." Her sister Mia Parkes told the M.E.N that DJing was her passion. "Most of all she loved old school house music," Mia said. "She used to take me and my brother to raves. "She would do anything for anyone. Even it was her last penny, she would give it to someone who needed it. "She had a massive heart, and a kind of infectious energy - people just gravitated towards her." "We are a very close family - and Zoe and I were inseparable." Mia said her sister's death had come as a shock, and that the cause of her death had yet to be ascertained. "We weren't expecting it at all," she said. "It feels like we are stuck in limbo until we can find out - which makes a difficult situation even harder." She has since set-up a GoFundMe to fund her sister's funeral. Remaining funds will go to Zoe's three children, aged 16, 15 and 5, 'left suddenly without their mum'. Despite having only set up the page on Tuesday (July 8), the fund has already reached 75% of its £8k target. "She was popular in the DJing community - even more than we knew," said Mia. "I've been completely blown away by the reception. She was loved by a lot of people." Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE Social media has been awash with tributes to Zoe. In a post on Facebook, Jane Tighe wrote: "Zoey, you were such a beautiful and fun loving girl with a belter sense of humour. Rest well gorgeous girl." Flo Ella wrote: "Zoe was a beautiful soul with such an inner beauty - her death has knocked me for six. "Such a talented DJ and amazing mum." And Callum Watkins wrote: "Our sublime Queen is up there annoying Avicii for a b2b (a set where DJs play together). "Rest in peace you star."
