A Stanley cup holder that sticks to your fridge (or another metal surface) with magnets to keep your tumblers organized and at arm's reach for easy fill-ups — without sacrificing precious cabinet or counter space. Why didn't I think of that?!
Anua's azelaic acid serum — don't let the "acid" in the name fool you; it's not a super harsh exfoliant but rather a skin soother that can (gently!) clarify and help reduce redness, diminish blemishes, *and* reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and discoloration. And this formulation also includes hyaluronic acid, aloe, and cica for hydration and further soothing.
Old Navy's Vintage tee — if you're in the market for the perfect t-shirt, you can't go wrong with it. It has a relaxed fit, a not-too-long-but-not-too-short hip length that can be tucked or worn out, and a nonsaggy crew neckline. *And* it's made of a thick (aka not sheer) but breathable 100% cotton! What more is there to ask for? Oh yeah, it's under $20...and usually discounted so you can stock up on several.
A pen case, but not just any pen case. This Japanese stationery innovation functions as a pen stand so you can keep all your writing utensils at a glance, whether you're color-coding your notes in class or swapping between shades while drawing or coloring — without needing to lay everything out on your desk. And the top has a built-in drawer that can store small stuff (like erasers or paper clips) when closed *and* works as a phone stand when open, so you can keep your notis at a glance.
A *heated* ice cream scoop to make dishing up a sundae feel less like arm day at the gym. No more microwaving, no more letting the pint sit out on the counter while you wait patiently... This'll cut through your favorite flavor like buttah! The handle even displays the temperature — how fancy.
Nyx's Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Serum — a beautifully pigmented, glass-like gloss that's comfortable and non-sticky. But hear ye, hear ye: it's secretly also the PERFECT lip stain that lasts all! day! long! Just apply (the pointed doefoot is ideal for flawless application even without lipliner), let it hang out for a few minutes, then blot it away for a *gorgeous*, nonpatchy stain you don't have to reapply.
Dumpling Daughter's Spicy Sweet Soy sauce — as the name suggests, it packs just the right punch of sweet (brown sugar!), savory (soy!), and spicy (red peppers and spices!), whether you use it for dipping, drizzling, marinading, or stir frying. Yeah, it's amazing on dumplings and wontons, but consider the possibilities: zhuzhing up a bowl of ramen, whisking into a salad dressing...even (gasp) spicing up a bowl of ice cream?
A hardshell suitcase (available in carry-on and check sizes) with a *trunk*-style top opening instead of the classic clamshell, so you can access what's inside your suitcase without taking twice as much space. Raise your hand if you've found it impossible to balance your open suitcase on a flimsy luggage rack in a cramped hotel room. 🙋♀️ Plus, the single opening is also good for fitting deeper packing cubes or bulky items!

A retractable remote control tether for anyone who just wants to sit down and watch their favorite comfort show, prestige drama, or true crime marathon...without having to launch their *own* investigation into the Mystery Of Who Hid The Clicker.

Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse if you're looking for fuller, fluffier brows without a four-step routine or wielding a pencil to painstakingly draw on individual hairs. Reviewers love the "natural," "soft" fullness it provides with minimal effort or makeup skills required.

RoC Multi Correxion Revive + Glow Vitamin C Eye Balm — it's going viral for how well it moisturizes the under-eyes, especially before concealer to prevent cakiness or settling into fine lines. Plus, the skincare ingredients (the namesake vitamin C and peptides) can help brighten and firm the delicate skin under your eyes. And you can't beat the easy-to-apply stick — just swipe it on!
A Dazzle Dry starter kit — if you haven't seen the TikToks, it's a fast-drying, non-gel (that means no curing!) nail system that can last up to two weeks with no chipping. And it works. It does have four steps, but each step dries in...minutes, so if you're someone who likes getting their nails done quickly (and wants them to last), this is an amazing system.
Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer capable of making concentrated coffee in minutes (hot in two minutes, iced in just five) — without any electricity, paper filters, or magic.

K-Beauty fan fave, Mixsoon's Bean Essence that's a multitasking marvel: you can use it as a super gentle exfoliating essence (massage it in for a few minutes and wipe it off) or a hydrating essence (just pat it in).

Taco night is served!
Lululemon's Daydrift trousers, which have all the chicness of tailored, wide-leg trousers (cough, Aritzia effortless pants, cough) but — gasp — are actually made of a sweat-wicking, four-way stretch material (including at the waist 🥹), so you have all the comfort of leggings but the look of actual, on-trend pants for a put-together look that's work or event-ready. And yep, that means they're perfect for travel too.
A First Alert carbon monoxide detector for a little extra peace of mind when you're traveling and staying in Airbnb or hotels that may not have detectors installed.

A Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask (from viral K-Beauty brand Medicube) — it's packed with vitamin C, kojic acid and collagen, plus the namesake turmeric, to brighten and even your skin tone...all while you get a solid night of beauty sleep. And maybe the best part: you get to peeeeeeeel it off in the morning; very satisfying. The term "morning shed" just got...quite literal.
My First Tumbler, a silicone 9-ounce tumbler for any tots who are wanting a Stanley of their own...but can't wield one yet.

Oh, and it's cute enough to quickly become their very own Emotional Support Water Bottle.
A Formul-A microfiber hair drying towel that's a little different from the one that's currently hanging in your bathroom. It's extra long to accommodate longer and thicker hair and made with ~30% polyamide~ (the higher the percentage, the softer and more absorbent the microfiber is; other towels might have 15% or 20% polyamide) for faster dry times. And forget those annoying button closures or towels that come tumbling off your head — this is made with elastic loops you can easily and securely tuck the ends into.
A set of hair-tie bracelets if you want to always be ponytail-ready (especially during the upcoming summer months) without having a boring black elastic on your wrist at all times.

A miniature bookshelf stress toy — you shake it up, then place all (200!) of the itty bitty books back on the shelves...then shake it up and do it all over again!

A creepy-but-cool remote-controlled gecko — and, yes it ACTUALLY climbs up walls and across floors! It can be controlled from up to 25 feet away, so definitely be prepared for a prank or two coming your way. Did I mention its eyes also glow? I'm scared, but also impressed.

Historic Japanese triplexes restored at B.C.'s oldest surviving cannery
Japanese triplexes built in the 1960s at the last intact cannery on B.C.'s north coast have now been restored, preserving a vital piece of the region's multicultural fishing heritage. Built in 1889, the North Pacific Cannery in Port Edward played a key role in driving economic development on British Columbia's coast through salmon canning. It remained in active operation until 1980. Now the North Pacific Cannery National Historic Site and Museum, the site consists of a cluster of wooden buildings, primarily single-storey, arranged along a wooden boardwalk. It includes the main cannery building, management and administrative offices, residences, and employee housing. 'Ethnically-segregated living and work areas divided Chinese, Japanese, Native and white labour,' stated Parks Canada. The set-up was designed to function as a self-sustaining community in an isolated location, generating significant profits for its owners. The main cannery structure, completed in 1895, remains largely unaltered to this day. The Port Edward Historical Society is the current steward of the site. They are a registered charity dedicated to preserving, restoring, interpreting, and expanding the legacy of the North Pacific Cannery. With funding from the Japanese Canadian Legacies initiative, a non-profit organization supported by the Province, the local society received a grant that enabled the restoration of three units in one triplex to their original state. These restored units are now available as short-term rental accommodations. 'The Japanese Canadian Legacy Society was set up by the provincial government [in 2022] because the provincial government finally owned up to the fact that they had a role to play when the Japanese Canadians were interned [in camps] during World War Two. So to make up for that horrible time, they set aside some funding,' said Mona Izumi, North Pacific Cannery Historical Society's president. Additionally, the society transformed a fourth unit in the second triplex into an interpretive exhibit showcasing the history of Japanese Canadians at the cannery. This display features archival recreations of the homes and everyday objects used by past residents, offering visitors an immersive glimpse into their lives. The society organized the grand opening of the triplexes on May 24, drawing a turnout of more than 150 attendees. The afternoon featured a special interactive performance by the Lax Kw'alaams Dancers, guided tours of the site, and a delicious salmon bake and sushi relished by all. Japanese Triplexes A significant number of Japanese Canadians worked at the cannery before the Second Wolrd War. They were fishermen, skilled boat builders, net menders and cannery workers. In 1941, Canada declared war on Japan. After that, 1,200 fishing boats owned by Japanese Canadians were impounded, states the exhibit panels at the triplex. 'All persons of Japanese ancestry were forcibly removed from their homes on the West Coast and moved to internment camps in the interior of B.C. Able-bodied men were sent to work on farms and road crews in communities east of the Rockies,' said the text on the exhibit. Ichitaro Miki was born in Japan and moved to northwest B.C. to join his father and uncles to build boats before the war. 'On February 19, 1942, my parents were forced to evacuate Arrandale [north of Prince Rupert] for the last time. Father [Ichitaro Miki] 's relationship with the First Nation's people was so close. With his departure, he was abandoning years of hard work and everything he had built up was virtually lost. As the catala steamed past familiar landmarks, father took a final glance up Portland Inlet not knowing when he would ever see this land again,' shared Miki's family. In 1945, Japan surrendered after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. All internment camps in B.C. were then closed and bulldozed. Japanese Canadians were made to relocate east of the Rocky Mountains or 'repatriate' to Japan. By 1949, the federal government lifted the restrictions it imposed under the War Measures Act, and Japanese Canadians were finally allowed to return to British Columbia's coast. Following the news, fishing companies in B.C. started actively recruiting these fishermen and tried to attract them with boat rentals and housing. After the war, the Japanese were mainly fishermen, no longer boat builders and cannery workers. Old housing at the cannery withered and fell apart, so the owners constructed new ones for the returning fishermen between 1964 and 1965. Some of the original residents were Robert and Fumiko Nishimura, Katsuki and Misao Kadowaki, and Frank and Yoshiko Yoshida. These families made every effort to make the most of the salmon season. According to the interpretive text, men typically fished while women took on responsibilities both at home and in the cannery. Life was busy, especially during peak season, as they worked hard to preserve enough seafood to last the entire year. They canned sockeye salmon, crab, abalone, and sea urchin, and also dried seaweed. Salmon was often salted and shipped to family members in other parts of Canada. In addition to their work, women also maintained the communal bath, a vital part of daily life and community hygiene. For the first time in the triplexes' record, they are now open to the public. The restored spaces offer an immersive look into daily life in these historic homes. The kitchens display traditional cooking items, while the living rooms are set up with vintage radios, pianos, and traditional Japanese games and snacks. The bedrooms feature old beds and side tables filled with personal items from the era, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia for visitors. Heather Hadland-Dudoward, the historical society's general manager, invites visitors to rent the three new, refurbished units. She says while the exterior maintains the old, rustic look, the interior is equipped with modern furniture, heating and lighting systems. The bathroom, however, includes an antique clawfoot bathtub and a cast-iron sink, both salvaged from the original cannery. Modern amenities such as TVs and Wi-Fi have not yet been added. 'You really get to unplug and just enjoy the environment. It is really neat, and people who like trains will especially love staying here,' said Dudoward. Travellers will wake up to an ultra-tranquil setting, surrounded by lush greenery, a serene river, and the majestic mountains. The only regular source of funding the cannery gets is from the North Coast Regional District, without which operations would not be possible. Young Canada Works provides some additional support for tour guides. However, as Dudoward noted, maintaining the various museum spaces, artifacts, and facilities, along with supporting staff and events, requires an immense amount of ongoing effort. The upkeep of this historic site involves considerable work, from guided tours to daily maintenance and administrative operations. With the addition of new rental units, the society hopes to advance its mission to preserve and enhance the site for years to come. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Explosion at Kadena Air Base injures 4 Japanese troops
TOKYO — An explosion at a storage site for unexploded ordnance at a U.S. military base on Japan's southern island of Okinawa injured four Japanese soldiers, though the injuries are not life-threatening, officials said Monday. The four soldiers sustained finger injuries while working at a facility that belongs to Okinawa prefecture and temporarily stores unexploded ordnance, mostly from wartime and found on the island, local officials said. One of the harshest battles of World War II was fought on Okinawa. Prefectural officials said the injuries were not life-threatening, but no other details were immediately known. The U.S. Air Force said in a statement that the explosion occurred at the facility managed by the Okinawa prefectural government at Kadena Air Base's munitions storage area. It said no U.S. service members were involved in the incident. The Self-Defense Force's joint staff said one of the devices suddenly exploded when the soldiers were inspecting it at the facility. The blast occurred when the soldiers were trying to remove rust, NHK television reported. The SDF said they are trying to confirm what caused the accident. Monday's accident was believed to be the first ever since the 1974 launch of the Japanese army's unexploded ordnance disposal unit. Hundreds of tons of unexploded wartime bombs, many of them dropped by the U.S. military, remain buried around Japan and are sometimes dug up at construction sites and elsewhere. Many of them are still found on Okinawa, where about 1,856 tons of unexploded U.S. bombs are believed to remain. In October, an unexploded wartime U.S. bomb exploded at a commercial airport in southern Japan, causing a large crater and suspending dozens of flights.

Munitions depot explosion at Kadena Air Base leaves four injured
Four members of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force were injured after a munition exploded on Kadena Air Base on Monday. The Air Force's 18th Wing, based out of Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, confirmed that an explosion occurred at a munitions storage site on the northern side of the base. No U.S. personnel were injured and local authorities said that there is no risk of further explosions, according to the U.S. Air Force and Kyodo News. Members of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force were working in the munitions storage area, managed by the Okinawa Prefectural Government, when one item exploded, leaving four Japanese troops injured. According to Japanese media, the explosion happened while JSDF members were preparing to safely dispose of an unexploded ordnance. Per reports, the depot is a temporary storage spot, mainly used for leftover unexploded munitions from World War II. Okinawa was heavily bombed during World War II, as part of the U.S. military's campaign to capture the island in 1945. 80 years later and Japanese and American authorities continue to locate and dispose of unexploded ordnance, with more than 2,000 tons of munitions taken out.
