1. Cottagecore linen curtains you can hang on your open cabinets, above your kitchen sink, small windows, or just about anywhere else that'll make you feel like Snow White baking a scrumptious apple pie. 🥧
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These pleated short curtains are the perfect touch for my kitchen! They add just the right amount of charm and elegance while letting in natural light. The pleats give them a polished, tailored look, and the quality of the fabric is fantastic — lightweight yet durable." — Liza
Get two panels from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in eight sizes and 10 colors).
2. A vibrant duvet cover set that will bring some ooh la la to your bedding and give your room an instant facelift. Why spend $150+ on a Pottery Barn set when reviewers claim this one is even better???
Amazon
Promising review:"I usually buy bedding from Pottery Barn because of the excellent quality. I did, however, fall in love with this pattern and decided to take a chance for the value, especially since the inside of the duvet cover comes with loops to attach to the comforter. The duvet set arrived in one day and was nicely packaged. The quality is excellent, and the pattern is beyond my expectations. This is better than Pottery Barn!" — LA
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in five sizes and 43 patterns).
3. Or a gingham or pom-pom duvet set to bring a bit of pastel prettiness to your bedroom. Hellooooo, spring!!!! 🌸🌷🌼
Amazon
The set comes with a cover and two pillowcases. Grab an affordable comforter here.
Promising review: "I chose this duvet cover for my daughter's room because she wanted a lighter color comforter, but our dogs sleep in her bed, so I wanted to be able to wash it easily. The pom-poms are small but a cute addition. The duvet cover is on the thinner side and soft. It has a zipper and four corner ties. Happy with this purchase and the price." — Kim
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available sizes twin–king and eight styles).
4. A set of two buttery-soft satin pillowcases that will look ah-maz-ing on your bed and are gentle on hair, meaning you're less likely to experience tangles or frizz no matter how much you toss and turn. And no, you don't need to spend as much as you would buying the popular Slip pillowcases to get a similar look.
Amazon
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says about it: This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually, the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom, and now she's in love with them, too!
Promising reviews: "I bought these cases to match a new sheet set. I previously had bought much more expensive brands to match other sheets but I love the Bedsure brand of products and wanted to try these out. Arguably, they're softer than my more expensive ones! They did arrive very wrinkled, but a quick wash and dry, and they're shiny and wrinkle-free. I like the envelope closure a lot more than the competing brands' zip closure. Highly recommend!" — Hannah Watkins
Get a set of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in standard, queen, king, and body pillow sizes and 39 colors).
5. A gorgeous linen-scented reed diffuser because those plug-in-the-wall scent diffusers ruin your whole home aesthetic — so why not get something pretty and amazingly scented? Plus, it comes with real preserved baby's breath (so freakin' gorgeous) and eight pure cotton sticks so you can adjust precisely how much aroma is released.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love the aesthetic of it and the smell is amazing! I bought two more as soon as I saw how nice this was. The quality feels so expensive and luxurious that it just had me in a chokehold, and I definitely love the look." — Isabell Thao
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four styles and 26 scents).
6. A set of room-darkening velvet curtains so you can get an uninterrupted night of sleep without those pesky rays of light waking you from your deep slumber. Plus, they're absolutely gorgeous so you can have a glam look to your bedroom without sacrificing functionality.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Purchased these for my studio, which is in an old mill. I wanted them for their insulating properties more than to block out the light because my studio loses a lot of heat at night due to its enormous windows. The curtains/drapes work great for both — I am especially pleased with how well they help keep the space from losing heat! Before having the curtains the space would lose about 8 degrees in temperature overnight (which in the winter is a significant amount, especially in the northeast). Now, with the curtains, the space no longer loses heat overnight! It is now so nice to go into my studio in the morning and find it still toasty warm!" — Placeholder
Get them from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in five sizes and 14 colors).
7. A set of brushed brass cabinet pulls because frankly, you've been thinking about splurging to get all new cabinets, and why do that when simply changing the handles will basically elevate the whole space?? Luxury at its finest. ✨
Promising review:"If you have any doubts in your mind about these handle pulls...don't!!! They are absolutely stunning in person. They are heavy and have a luxe weighted feel and look to them. The brushed brass gleams the perfect amount. I truly get so happy every time I walk into my kitchen. These handle pulls make it magnificent. They're like jewelry for your kitchen. I couldn't be happier with them." — Ravi S
Get a set of 10 five-inch pulls from Amazon for $58.82.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It took most reviewers less than an hour to completely revamp their desks, and it was two hours *tops* for others (depending on how much space you're redoing!). Psst: If you pick this up, check out this reviewer's great installation tips for applying it to a desk!
Promising review:"Wow, seriously love this stuff! Completely transformed the space I'm working on. I LOVE that it's shiny with a smooth finish... instantly felt luxurious, especially compared to how it looked before!" — Natalie Logan
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in 10 sizes and two colors).
9. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug that Frasier himself would wish he had to transform his father's, uh...let's say, "rugged" couch into a throne worth sitting upon. The greatest part of it all is that it doesn't shed, so you don't need to worry about white fuzz getting everywhere.
Amazon
Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these, and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside, too." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors).
10. Easy-to-install (they literally just stick on!) under-cabinet lighting to ensure you don't cause yourself some serious injury as you stumble your way toward the kitchen for that midnight snack. These have double-sided tape on the back for easy installation, and they're dimmable and waterproof.
www.amazon.com
These under-the-cabinet lights are battery powered and come with a remote that will allow you to power them on and off, change their intensity, and set them to be motion-activated.
Promising review:"I just remodeled my kitchen and wanted lights under my cabinets to give it a cozy feel. I wanted something easy to install but effective. These lights are great! You can adjust the brightness and can even put them on a timer so they turn off on their own after 15, 30, or 60 minutes. They come with sticky tape to attach to cabinets, but I also added sticky back Velcro, and they have stayed on perfectly. The company sent me an email offering any assistance if I should need it. I absolutely LOVE them and would recommend." — Lisa Corey
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in packs of two or six).
11. Peel-and-stick vinyl subway tile because have you seen the prices of professional-grade backsplashes lately?!?!?! You're gonna wanna avoid those contractor fees by getting this super easy, customized backsplash you can simply stick onto the wall yourself for a quick kitchen facelift.
These renter-friendly beauties are fully removable, btw! You'll just need to heat with a hair dryer to unstick the adhesive. For the full install, reviewers recommend: a level, sanding block and sandpaper, measuring tape, ruler, screwdriver to remove outlets, and utility knife or scissors.
Promising review: " These are great and easy to install. You have to cut the first section. I did put them on a textured wall and have no issues with them peeling off. I made a mistake and had to pull some of them off and they came off with no problem. They are sticky, so I did have to pull a little bit; no damage to the paint or the wall, though. You will need a VERY sharp knife and a pair of scissors. I used a metal carpenter's square as a straight edge, and it worked nicely. Nice upgrade to my little kitchen. I needed about 30 tiles, and I had to buy 40 for cuts and mistakes. You can't reuse the sheet if you pull it off. I found that if you have to cut the tiles, make sure you have the 'grout' on the cut; it makes it easier to align and hides small mistakes." — Tricia Hendrickson
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors, and in dozens more designs and colors on their store page).
12. A set of cute velvet shams that feel so soft you'll want to burrow yourself in them all throughout your cozy night at home. They're also super easy to swap out when you inevitably get the itch to redecorate your room (for the seventh time this year).

Promising review:"It's easy to see why these affordable yet high-quality throw pillow covers are a best seller. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, and they seem durable and well-made. What a simple and inexpensive way to change up your decor!" — Erika V.
Get the two-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 41 colors and nine sizes).

However, I took a chance and went with it, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Not only is the carpet nice and soft, but the colors are very true to the picture. Thanks, guys, for producing a fair-priced and luxurious product!" — (ffcccdxx

Amazon
Promising review:"This rug is a great addition to my bedroom. It's soft, easy to clean, and brings color to my room! The quality feels really nice for its price point. Only downside is the edges kind of curl up. I'm hoping they'll go away over time!" — LDros

I can't function at work without a dry erase board but couldn't find any that would look nice in my office space which is in the corner of my master bedroom!

Purchased two sets but only used one set of 'handles,' I wasn't a fan of how close I had to place each set next to each other with the narrow spacing on the door itself. Paired with the magnetic 'windows,' it looks like a brand-new door!" — MrsPirate

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This mirror is gorgeous and very well-made. It feels heavier than I expected, so I used a 3M Claw to hang it, and it's definitely secure. Looks exactly like the picture. I wanted the Anthropologie Primrose mirror but couldn't stomach the price tag, even with deep discounts from their home outlet pop-up. This is an excellent [alternative], so definitely worth it." — Jillian Coneys
"I was looking for an inexpensive [version] of *the* Anthropologie mirror for my mantle. Did lots of searching and review reading, and this seemed like the best bang for your buck. It's so nice! It's heavy and sturdy (not chintzy) and looks great in my living room. The flourish on top is tasteful, and the antique gold color really does make it look vintage." — Eliza

Promising review:"This watering can is so easy to use, and it holds a lot more water than you would think by the size. I also love the cap that comes on the end of the spout — a great way to avoid spills!! Appreciate the pretty mister that comes with it, too. Both look very nice on the shelf where I house my plants in front of a window." — MC Phillips
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in three colors).
26. A TV cord cover that you can stick right on your wall so the highways of cords you've got going on don't even show. With all those wires hidden from view, you can focus on entertaining your guests rather than the knots of cables marring your aesthetic living space. That, my people, is called ✨ fancy. ✨
Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for hiding a cord! It looks like it is just a part of the baseboard. Mine is covering a cable wire only, but I think they are big enough to hide more than one cord if needed. I didn't cut mine, and I bought two. You can tell where the two meet if you look closely. However, I do not think anyone would notice. I can't believe I let our cable cord sit across the floor for this long. I wish I would have found these sooner!" — Amazon Customer

Promising reviews:"I am very pleased with these scented drawer liners! They are perfect for my bedroom chest of drawers. The paper is heavy, and the scent is wonderful. I love it! I may buy them as gifts." — Jennifer
"This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it. I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance." — Trillium

Promising review: "These brass bow knobs are so beautiful and work perfectly with the dresser that I bought for my baby girl's nursery! I was worried that they would be too small or that the quality would be lacking, so I paid three times the price for a set of backup knobs from Crate & Kids that I will now be returning. I'm just a dummy and ordered only six knobs when I actually needed 12. Good thing the seller offers free one-day shipping! Once all the knobs are changed out, the dresser will truly look Pinterest-worthy! :)" — WAR

38 Beauty Products To Make You Jealous Of Yourself

Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. The subtle gardenia scent is just extra extra credit after all that. A tinted lip balm that's eerily close to the same magic as "Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder absorbs oil and blurs pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy. ✨ Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a beloved K-beauty staple reviewers compare to the $46 Gisou version for MEGA hair hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees, so you can style your hair without sacrificing on ✨shine✨. This unique blend of seven-oil blend Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oil not only protects hair, but helps correct damage from dryness, *and* reduces drying time. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution for the *ultimate* in eye-depuffing relief — this serum works over time to brighten dark circles and tired eyes so you can look fresh as a daisy, even on nights when you're Liz Lemon-ing and ~working on your night cheeeeese~ a little later than you planned. And Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — 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. A coconut-scented, ridiculously cooling after-sun body lotion to rehydrate and replenish your skin after long days in the sun or soaking up the drying chlorine of the pool.

And Olay's Firming Body Lotion full of collagen peptides and a Vitamin B3 complex for *ultra* hydrating relief that's also designed to visibly plump, firm, and moisturize your skin — all at a fraction of the price of other firming lotions, like the internet's beloved $48 Elasti-Cream. Color Wow's "Raise The Root" thickening and lifting spray gives your hair some instant ~~VAVOOM~~, no teasing or heat styling gymnastics required.

It's also sensitive-skin friendly, with reviewers on tretinoin swearing by it for extra protection. Did someone say ... HOLY GRAIL?? And Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush, aka your scalp's BFF this summer — reviewers don't just swear by this for face coverage and a protective setting powder, but for protecting their hairline without their hair getting goopy from sunscreen scalp sprays or regular sunscreen lotion. Bonus — this is a heck of a lot cheaper than its competitors, like the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block! 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. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in shave oil form, so you can lock in that ridiculously compelling whipped vanilla, musk, and soft caramel scent *and* protect your skin from razor burn.

Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance! Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse gives your brows all the professional-level ~~vavoom~~ they deserve. This easy-to-use, buildable brow applicator lightly fluffs and tames brows to give them a fuller, softer appearance, giving them that laminated look without the expensive treatment. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Boldify Hairline Powder for anyone who's like, "Hmmm. Wasn't there ... a lot more hair there before??" when they're styling their roots. This "makeup for hair" helps effortlessly fill in the gaps in your hairline so you don't have style around it. Reviewers also swear by this for touching up their roots between appointments! Essence Loose Setting Powder Trio for three handy products for less than $5 — it's sectioned into different powders for brightening, color-correcting, and mattifying, so you can mix and match the shades to personalize your coverage based on your skin's needs. Dae's Hair Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream & Taming Wand, which is basically the brand's "holy grail," TikTok-famous styling cream in the form of a mascara wand. This versatile lil' tool helps you carefully target flyaways, style edges, and smooth frizz. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for anyone who has had their fill of acne stickers and wants a more effective solution for overnight zit care. Just dab a constellation of this over your blemishes to help dry them out and reduce redness while you snooze. This gets extra points for being sensitive skin-friendly and easy to use! A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation. A reviewer-beloved (and makeup artist–beloved!) beauty sponge blender that rolled up and ate up all the expensive name-brand versions for breakfast. This is firm and smooth when you use it dry for powder applications, and soft and flexible when you wet it for creams and liquids, making it the ultimate versatile sponge in your beauty trove ... for a mere $4 (!!) compared to the $20 BeautyBlender version. A shockingly affordable "Glow Up!" Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a punch as powerful as the $30+ versions — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus. E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm for all the ultra fans of Summer Fridays, Rhode, and Laneige whose bank accounts are begging them to put a stop to the lippie madness. These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.)

'Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love' offers fresh perspective on disability, reimagines genetic impairments as a sacred purpose
A spiritual being who joins humanity in times of crisis travels back into her own earthly family lineage GATTON, Australia, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Celebrating three decades as one of the country's most prestigious literary events, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books brought together readers, authors and publishers from around the world. Among the featured titles was El Alma's "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" (published by Balboa Press AU), a poignant novel that resonates deeply with readers seeking solace, reflection and spiritual connection. The book tells the story of Asina, a soul who agrees to enter the world in an impaired body, alongside others in her soul family. Known as gentling souls, they descend to Earth with a mission: to enrich the world with compassion, tenderness and unconditional love amid transformative eras of materialism, violence and war. Through dreams and visions, Asina embodies her great-grandmother Hana as a child in a past life and travels between the eras to tell a family saga that spans the 1800s to the present time. She experiences life through the eyes of her ancestors and witnesses them facing fear and ridicule from society because of their conditions. In the end, Asina comes to realize the higher purpose as to why the impairment exists in her family. "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" challenges societal norms by asserting a spiritual purpose for living with neurogenetic impairments. Rather than presenting disability as a narrative obstacle or medical condition, the book portrays it as an intentional and divine choice — made with love, before birth, to help restore balance and empathy in a harsh world. "I chose not to write research papers but to write from a deeper level so the readers can grasp the enormity of living and loving disabilities," the author shares. "I would like readers to develop a deeper experience of what it is like to encounter disabilities within society with an understanding of how to relate to a person with a disability and to see them from a different perspective than they maybe had previously." "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" was first published in 2023 is now available for purchase through "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" By El Alma Softcover | 6 x 9in | 132 pages | ISBN 9781982298340 E-Book | 132 pages | ISBN 9781982298357 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble About the Author El Alma holds a bachelor's degree in psychological science and a master's in counselling (disabilities). With over 30 years of experience working with families navigating grief, trauma and life after a disability diagnosis, she brings compassionate insight and spiritual depth to her writing. Her previous work, "Becoming Soul – Seven Steps to Heaven," is a multi-award-winning parable. Now semi-retired, El Alma offers spiritual guidance and lives peacefully in country Australia with her husband of 56 years.
