"Coochy" shaving cream, a stink blocking balm, and flat claw clips so you can rest your head — if these products are at the end of the witches' road, then someone give me Agatha Harkness' number.
1. A hair identifier spray that'll make dermaplaning a whole lot easier. You may also be mortified that you have so much peach fuzz you never knew was there, but at least you'll no longer *over* shave or miss a spot. Plus, it'll help keep your skin moisturized and protected while you shave.
It comes with four dermaplaning razors.
Promising review:"The power of the hair identifier's spray is unmatchable. Once you spray in any direction that has hair, it automatically identifies the hair that needs to be removed. It is easily sprayed on and easily wiped off. No extra residue. Comes with four blades, and I say these blades are soft, gentle, and get the job done. Not sure why no one ever thought of coming up with a hair identifier spray. Great value and smells like baby powder. Great quality." — Karine
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in different multipacks).
2. A pair of reusable anti-nausea bands designed to help minimize queasiness when you're riding in a car, taking a flight, or traveling on a boat. Reviewers swear by these lil' helpers for their travels, especially if they're in motion for most trips!
For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review:"These wrist bands are amazing. I purchased these for a 12-hour plane ride. I usually have nausea and anxiety while flying, but these wristbands had me feeling great. I also used them while whale watching on a rocky boat and once again felt great. With these wrist bands, I am able to enjoy traveling with my mind at ease." — Amazon Customer
Get a pair from Amazon for $8.53.
3. Some "Coochy" shaving cream that'll condition and moisturize your skin, and help you get a super smooth shave. It's gentle on sensitive skin and can help prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs, it also smells like cake!
amazon.com
Promising review:"This stuff is like pure magic!!!! And for $26, I feel like this bottle is massive. Plus, when you use it to shave literally anywhere a little goes a very long way, so this bottle will definitely be lasting me a long time! The scent is immaculate — smells so good I could eat it! It's also super moisturizing and I've noticed since using it that I've had a lot less razor bumps on my inner thighs! I use it to shave everywhere, not just the 'coochie!' — Summer Rogers
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four sizes).
4. A cordless automatic curling iron (🤯🤯🤯) perfect for those days where your significant other is waiting on you so y'all can leave to go to dinner, but you haven't even started on your hair. Do it in the car! Easy, quick, and fabulous!

It's intended for 14"-22" hair.
Promising reviews:"It all started when I found myself meeting up with my friends. I showed up with my hair a mess, so I searched on Amazon for a cordless curling iron that I could use in my car and found this cordless rotating curling iron. I love it!! You can charge it at home or in the car and use it anywhere. Simply switch the direction of the curl." — ✅Maya Acosta✅
"I have thin hair, and keeping a curl is hard. I had previously bought a Dyson Airwarp and felt like this would solve my problems. I watched all the tutorials and invested $100 more in combs, hair clips, and hair products — as per the tutorials, but nothing worked. I ended up returning it and calling it a day. A couple of days ago, I saw this on Instagram, and I immediately went to Amazon to buy it — I use the Tymo straightener and swear by it, so I thought this could work, and boy, it did! I love it, the curls are amazing and hold nicely. For the price, it's an amazing tool." — W.
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
5. A car visor extender for us shorties because pulling the car visor down alone DOESN'T DO A DARN THING TO BLOCK THE SUN. IDK about you, but I've considered a booster seat a few times. Well, I guess, no need for that with this magical little heaven sent baby available, huh?
amazon.com
Promising review:"Driving to and from work has been a pain lately, even with sunglasses on. Being short, my regular car visor was not shielding the low sun. This shield cuts the glaring rays without inhibiting my vision. Perfect." — Kim
Get it from Amazon for $23.74+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
6. A nonstick four cup egg frying pan that'll take your DIY home McMuffins and elevate them to the highest of heights. You'll get a perfectly circular egg and be ready to start your own breakfast sandwich shop.
Promising review:"This pan is incredible. If this pan started to wear out after only a year of using it, I would buy it again because I have used this pan every single day this year and it performs the same today as it did when I first bought it. I've made all kinds of things in this pan (mostly eggs), but I have made mini frittatas with fresh veggies, I've made perfect sunny side up, over easy, over medium, and well done eggs. I've cooked burgers in this, a variety of pancake types, bacon bits, and chorizo. This pan cooks perfectly on medium-low. It is so easy to clean. This pan has changed my life and I talk about this pan to everyone I know. Sounds ridiculous, but it is just that awesome." — John C.
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
7. A cuticle oil pen to make keeping 'em moisturized a way easier task that you can even do on the go. Ever look down at your hands and notice how absolutely dry your cuticles are and no amount of lotion can save them? Well, call this thing Iron Man cuz it can! Plus, if your nails are weak and brittle, this can help strengthen them.
amazon.com
Promising review:"This is by far my favorite nail care product! The pen makes application easy, and I love the subtle scent (hard to describe but undeniably delicious!) My nails feel strong and healthy, and it's also helped with growth. When opening the pen for the first time, make sure to click carefully. I got impatient and started unscrewing it, which caused oil to spill everywhere! That was definitely my fault though, just remember to be patient when clicking the pen for the first time. Overall a 10/10 product, would recommend!" — Liah
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six scents).
8. A flat hair clip so that you can give your neck a little rest and actually lean your head back on the couch. You'll still get the cute claw clip look but with the ability to get some dang relief while serving looks.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"I was getting so tired of the headaches that claw clips gave me, as well as the daily annoyance of not being able to lean my head back. I hated having the clips bang on the headrest in the car. These are perfect! They allow you to put your head back in the car, on the couch, or in bed. Plus, they really hold your hair, even if it's thin like mine. Cute colors as well! Get these!!" — Jeanne Johnson
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 14 colors/styles).
9. An adjustable backless adhesive bra to give your boobs some perk in all of your backless dresses. It's reusable, so you can rinse it then let it air dry and *voila*, good as new. And the adjustable ropes in the front will give you cleavage like you've never seen before.
amazon.com
Promising review:"I really liked this bra! I wore it to a wedding where I was the Maid of Honor and I had no issues with this bra for the 8-10 hours that I had it on! It sticks well and I didn't feel any peeling or slipping the entire time, which allowed me to keep my focus entirely on the wedding! The lift it creates with the pull strings was really nice as well. I'm an A cup, so it's rare that I find a bra that actually gives me some cleavage! Several of the other bridesmaids even asked me about it since it worked so well. Highly recommend!" — Lauren
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in A–E cups).
10. Or some double-sided booby tape that sticks to both your boobies and your clothing because you and that one super risky top have some carefree dancing to do. Stop reconsidering that super cute halter that your boobs may fall out of because this tape has entered the chat and is gonna keep your tatas in check and in place while you dance your lil' heart out. Hakuna matata, tits, we have no worries.
amazon.com
BTW, I'm a dancer and just bought this for a dance performance I have coming up, so I'll be back to review. Fingers crossed I get through this five-minute hip-hop routine in a cleavage-heavy bralette *without* my entire left boob falling out.
Promising reviews:"The amount of TRUST I had in this boob tape and it did not let me down!!! I danced my butt off at the Eras tour in this top and not a nip slip to be had. 1000/10, buy it!!!" — Skyler Howard
"I wore a VERY deep plunge dress that would have had my boob fall out with any arm movement, so I used just two pieces of this tape — one on each breast, and it worked like magic. My husband and I went to dinner and walked the beach in hot humid weather and the dress stayed perfectly positioned." — Maggie Swanson
Get it from Amazon for $12.79 (available in five styles).
11. A Huda Beauty setting powder with so many good reviews you won't be able to resist the temptation of buying it. If you wanna test how strong you are, look this stuff up on TikTok. I did andddd let's just say I have three different shades in my cart. I couldn't control my fingers, all I remember is hitting *add to cart* a bunch of times.
Sephora
Check it out on TikTok!
Promising review:"I am impressed! It gives my skin a stunning matte finish and enhances my complexion. I have very oily skin and this powder holds up really well and does its job. Great coverage and long lasting. I plan to buy another one soon, and I would love to try the pound cake shade this time." — biiinee
Get it from Sephora for $22+ (available in two sizes and 10 shades).
12. A drawing salve for uhh, basically everything. It'll help draw out splinters, thorns, ingrown hairs, boils, cysts, and ingrown toenails, and relieve itchiness from poison ivy/oak, dry skin, cuts, burns, and bug bites. It's packed with everything you'd find in a Sanderson potion like frankincense, arnica, castor oil, and other magical ingredients that'll help ease your skin irritations quick.
Promising review:"Okay. Maybe TMI, but I get a lot of bumps on my body — be they ingrown hairs, reactions to new products, whatever. I had a boil, cyst, idk? — on my armpit, and nothing would help it drain until I tried this stuff like magic. Put it on at night since it should not be used under a bandage per instructions, but maybe be aware that you might bleed if you have a boil, bite, or something else blood-filled that needs to pop. Recently, I had a badly inflamed ingrown hair on my leg. I could seriously barely walk. I was sobbing uncontrollably in pain. I had tried Neosporin with pain relief, lidocaine ointment, you name it. Nothing was helping.
It was days before my wedding, and I seriously didn't think I could walk down the aisle in the state I was in. My fiancé remembered I had this little gem in the bathroom and suggested I try it. I was desperate and in excruciating pain, so I figured, why not? Woke up the next morning with blood all over my leg, inside my pants, etc, but the bump(s) had drained, and I could walk again. This stuff literally saved my wedding." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.88+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks).
13. A 72-pack of Marée pimple patches that's packed with hydrocolloid, salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and centella asiatica (not a Sabrina the Teenage witch spell, I swear) to help draw out impurities and pus, and shrink your annoying zits. Plus, they come in the most *adorable shapes*.
I never understood the hype around pimple patches until I tried these. These are hands down, without a doubt, the BEST acne patches I've ever tried. I don't break out often (thanks to my very complex morning and night skincare routine) *but* I do get the occasional zit when I get my period. I've had a sample of these sitting in my skincare drawer since the summer and have never touched them because I've tried so many patches from other brands and hated them. I'm not a wild sleeper at all, but ones from other brands always ended up on my pillow, in my hair — everywhere but staying on the pimple on my face, so they never really worked cuz they wouldn't stay on! I was rummaging through my skincare products looking for my Solawave when I saw these. I had a huge zit on my jawline that I was extremely tempted to pop and pick at so I thought *what the heck, let me try these*. These are magic! I put it on at night and woke up with it still on the zit *and* the pimple had vanished. I was so shook because I really was not expecting these to work. And they're so cute, I'd literally wear them in public. No zit formed against me shall prosper, as long as I have these! OBSESSED.
Get a 72-pack from Amazon for $16.45.
14. A stink-blocking balm for anyone who's sensitive to funky smells. If you gag at everyday, unavoidable smells like diapers and taking out garbage, you'll fall in love with this quicker than Ariel fell in love with Prince Eric.
It's made by a woman-owned small biz established by Jennifer, an RN who made the product for healthcare professionals like herself who desperately needed it.
Rub the balm under the nose and outside the nostrils, and repeat whenever necessary!

Promising review:"I am taking anatomy this year and, after my first dissection, decided the smell of decaying rats was unbearable. I got in time for my practical and it masked the smell perfectly! Would def recommend to anyone dealing with pungent smells." — h. Krake
15. A four-pack of bio-collagen overnight masks that'll work like a magic spell to deliver you tighter pores, tons of skin elasticity, improved skin texture and tone, and *loads* of hydration. I promise you don't have to recite any incantations, simply put it on at night and wake up with glowy, radiant skin.
Promising review:" Overnight glow-up! I recently tried the BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask, and it's a treat for my skin! This hydrating overnight hydrogel mask leaves my face feeling refreshed and elastic by morning. While it minimizes pores, the real magic is in the deep hydration it provides. It's a perfect addition to my nighttime routine. Highly recommend for a glowing complexion!" — Marisa
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19 (available in three styles and a 16-pack).
16. A Flamingo razor with four five-blade refills that'll serve you up a * reaaaally * close, comfortable shave. The blades are surrounded by water-activated aloe and shea butter strips to help it effortlessly glide across your skin and protect you from irritation. Plus it comes with a shower holder!
Promising review:"Ladies, if you're looking for a new razor, stop wasting your time and purchase the Flamingo 5-blade razor right now. I've tried countless other brands of razors — disposable, high-end, you name it...and the Flamingo is by far the very best I've ever used. I'm totally OBSESSED with this razor — the quality of the razor, blades, and mount is superb, and it delivers the closest, smoothest shave ever! Plus, it leaves you feeling moisturized after and never irritated. And, I haven't nicked myself even once with this razor, which is some kind of miracle. You want to try this razor — it just exceeds anything else out there!" — CeCe Silver
Get it from Amazon for $13.19+ (available in four colors).
17. The new Pink Stuff "Sqeezy" sponge set to make cleaning up tough grime a breeze. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste + this scrubber = the best magical duo since Twitches. These babies don't have "miracle" in their name for nothing!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower, and although it doesn't look brand new like I was hoping, it's ten times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess
Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99.
18. A vented paddle brush by Cécred *with* a hook so you can hang it up and make some room in your hair tools drawer. It's perfect for both wet and dry hair detangling because the flexible bristles gently glide through your locks. This thing is like a magic wand for tangles.
Cécred
Okay, so we all know that I *swear* by these products. I haven't tried anything by Cécred that didn't work magic. *Hits a Galinda high note*, okay, I'm frantically excited. This is the absolute best brush I've ever used. I'm confused as to how it works so dang well. I braid my curly hair up at night into two French braids, so I tested this on my wet hair last night, and it glided through my tangles with ease and without snagging. Plus the brush didn't retain all the water in my hair because of the honeycomb design. I just took the braids out and used it again now that my hair is dry, and I had zero problems getting it to brush through. My favorite thing though is how easy it is to clean. I have dyed red hair which has stained my other brushes, so I was worried that this brush would be totally ruined by my hair dye. BUT, to my surprise, the dye residue or whatever came right off, literally with my fingers. I really love this brush. I also love that I can hang it up because my haircare drawer is filled to the brim. This brush is so worth it.
Get it from Cécred for $40.
19. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer because you don't have the patience for all those overnight ones. If your mood is *gimme the dang coffee now*, good news! No, not that good news, I'm not talkin' the death of the wicked witch, this bad boy will give you a good ol' cold brew with all the flavor in five minutes. Plus, this magical device doesn't need to be charged or plugged in so it's super portable and you can brew anywhere like a lil' witch.
Amazon
You can use this to brew hot coffee an* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, adding hot or cold water, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe.
Promising review:"Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick
Get it from Amazon for $34.39.
20. Tirtir foundation that won't betray you four hours after applying it by becoming all cracked, cakey, and creased. Makeup nightmare. This bad boy lasts up to 72 hours and delivers buildable coverage that'll conceal redness, blemishes, and dreaded dark circles. And if that doesn't already have your finger hovering over the *add to cart button*, it helps boost skin elasticity and will help give you the coveted ~glass skin~ look.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikToker applying the foundation.
Promising review: "I'm absolutely in love! The 21N Ivory shade perfectly matches my skin tone and gives me a flawless, glass-like finish. The coverage is buildable, so I can go from a light, natural look to full coverage as needed. It's lightweight and lasts all day without feeling heavy or cakey. The semi-matte finish keeps my skin looking fresh and radiant. Plus, the compact packaging is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. If you're after a high-quality foundation that delivers, this one is a must-try!" — great p
Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes and 40 shades).
21. Ninja's new *portable* Crispi Air Fryer system because your bougie taste buds prefer a freshly air fried salmon on your lunch break rather than a microwaveable frozen lasagna. The lids will help prevent leaks and you can cook a personal sized meal in it in only seven minutes. Magical, simply magical.
Each air fryer comes with the"PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying!
Promising review:"I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven for the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (available in three colors).
22. An Xmondo color depositing hair mask by Brad Mondo to keep your hair color looking oh so fresh. If you hate when your bold, vibrant hair starts to look all dull, but don't wanna dye it and cause damage every other month, this is def the holy grail product you've been searching for. It helps lock in water molecules to retain moisture and restores damaged fibers to strengthen dry hair, all while taking your faded mane and making it look freshly dyed again.
Promising review:"Wow, color me impressed! I was hesitant to buy this because, most of the time, anytime a celeb or influencer comes out with their own line of anything, it's mediocre nonsense. But I was swayed after reading the reviews. I had grey hair in the past and used Overtone and another big brand name that you can get at Ulta (I can't remember the brand), and they did an okay job at helping me keep the grey in between salon toner visits. I just recently went back to grey again, and this time, I thought I'd try this one to help between salon visits. Applying it was easy, and I left it on for 20 minutes. As soon as I started washing it out, I was EXTREMELY surprised by just how darn soft my hair was! It's not lying when it calls itself a mask because it rivaled my other hair masks in my bathroom. Better than my Sol de Janeiro mask and better than my Coco & Eve mask. I also noticed that it wasn't straining my bathtub or tiles nor making a big purple mess, which was not the case in the past with other purple 'pigment depositing' grey hair masks. Overall, I'm SO pleased! Brad really pulled it off. Not only is the color output very much like it advertises it will give, but it's not lying when it says it's a nourishing hair mask. Cheers to Brad Mondo!" — Dana
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 18 shades).
23. A pillow-shaking alarm clock that'll literally shake you outta bed. If your alarm can never get you up in the morning, or you just flat out need earthquake vibes to actually wake you up, try this out. There's even an atomic bomb alarm sound if you need a louder noise, like an alien invasion to get you outta bed.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Sonic Alert is a small business that specializes in alarm clocks.
Promising review: "This alarm is amazing. The pillow shaker does its job to perfection. The shaker shakes the pillow just right so you don't wake up startled. The loud alarm is loud enough. I wear a hearing aid to hear everything, and the loud alarm is loud enough that I can hear it without my hearing aid. Must-have for someone with hearing issues so you wake up on time every time." — Scott D.
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in seven colors).
24. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder — a magical K-beauty concoction that'll control the shine while keeping the glow. Pores where? Oil where? Not over here, all we know is matte, radiant, glowy skin. Or, all we know is witchcraft, cuz how the heck does this make your skin both glowy and matte?! Not sure, but it's perfection.

Scrigit is a US-based small biz that specializes in scraper tools.
Promising review:"This does all those little things you did with your nails or the edge of a used toothbrush, but better. Serendipitously, on the same day as getting these, I also got a bunch of used books in the mail, and you can see from my video [above left] how I was able to scratch off the price tags with some extra help from some hand sanitizer. Saved my nails and did a better job. Can't wait to see what else I do with these little tools!" — angela
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99 (available in a five-pack).
26. A Solawave red light therapy wand that'll help reduce dark spots and fine lines, and stimulate and lift the skin (thanks to microcurrents), all while giving you a delightful as heck facial massage and some ~therapeutic~ warmth. Your skincare products will absorb better and puffiness won't stand a chance. Sounds like an amazing spa-like facial treatment is waiting for you and you can do it from the comfort of your couch! This plus a glass of pinot?! Reason number 532 of why leaving your house sounds less and less appealing.
Amanda Davis / BuzzFeed
Solawave is a LGBTQ-owned small biz based in Los Angeles.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis loves it! "This. gadget. is. worth it! 👏🏾 Using the Solawave was my first time introducing red light therapy into my skincare routine and the difference in my hyperpigmentation is honestly mind-blowing. The tone of my face is much more even and the dark circles around my eyes have nearly disappeared. Essentially, it's like a mix of a jade roller (which I already love using anyway) and an LED mask in one...with microcurrent/vibration therapy, too. You can apply the specific Solawave activating serum or any conductive gel of your choice (I use a different one, myself!) and it will really absorb the benefits when used with the wand. I only use it once every other day (at night) and it's super relaxing. My skin is always ✨glowing✨ the next day!"
Get it from Amazon for $169 (available in three colors).

Promising review:" As soon as you open the box, you're greeted with a delightful floral aroma that instantly freshens up your trash disposal routine. It's like a breath of fresh air in your kitchen. But let's talk about the real star of the show – the durability. These garbage bags mean business. They're thick and strong, capable of handling even the heaviest loads without a hint of tearing or leakage. Whether it's kitchen waste, household clutter, or yard debris, these bags have you covered." — Alexa Z

Promising review: "I love this product with my heart and soul. I've been using it as a part of my skincare and prep routines for a few months, and my skin looks so natural, plump, even, and healthy. I'm ALL about a glowy, dewy, natural look and this product has helped me achieve that. Plus it's a great serum packed with goodies that your skin will thank you for! It's definitely worth it and I will always recommend this to anyone. I use it twice a day, in the morning as the last step before my makeup routine and at night before moisturizer! If using it during the daytime, don't forget to use sunscreen because its vitamin and natural acid contents make skin a little more susceptible and sensitive to sunlight! Hope this helps :)" — Andrea Velarde

amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"I absolutely love this product! I've been searching for a lipstick stain that doesn't dry out my lips, and this one is perfect. Even after the shine fades— several hours later —the color stain remains beautifully on my lips. I either reapply or add a light gloss for a fresh look.
I ordered the Hydra Honey shade, and it's such a gorgeous color. It has quickly become my daily go-to, and I've tossed out all my other products after finally finding the perfect hydrating, long-lasting lip stain. Highly recommend —110%!" — Rar

It comes with a "quick connect" for standard faucet sizes, but if it doesn't fit your sink, you'll need to buy an adapter. Watch the video on the listing for details about installation!
Promising review:"This is hands down one of the best purchases I've made for my NYC apartment. We have laundry in the building, but it is a hassle to have to go, find an available machine, and have to wait there while the washing is getting done. Who has time for that in NYC?!
I purchased this is July, it is now the end of October and if it broke down today it would still be worth the price. I got the largest one because two active grown men live in this apartment, and we have a dog who sheds EVERYWHERE so I'm probably doing 8–10 loads per week. No issues yet at all.
The noise level on this thing is very manageable; if you are in another room, you won't even hear it. It is the loudest in its spin cycle, but nothing too bad.
The only hassle for me is that we have an attached water filter on our faucet, so we have to detach that filter and attach this every time we use it. The process takes maybe 1–2 minutes, so it's not a deal breaker at all. I've been able to wash everything in this — our clothes, bath mats, towels, sheets, duvet covers, etc. When it's something heavier (such as bath mats), I wash them on their own to avoid very heavy loads.
Overall, I'm VERY happy with this product. Everyone knows finding good housing in NYC is a miracle, and often, the luxury of a washer is something that is not possible. This is a game changer for that." — Amazon Customer

Delta plane strikes aircraft during pushback from Atlanta airport gate

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a Delta plane clipped a jet while attempting to take off from an Atlanta airport. According to agency preliminary information, Delta Air Lines Flight 1830 was pushing back from the gate at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday, Aug. 10, when its right wingtip struck the left winglet of a parked Airbus A350 around 10:40 a.m. local time. There were 192 passengers and six crew members on board the Guatemala-bound aircraft, according to Delta. There were no reported injuries. Plane clipping caused a nearly 4 hour delay The incident caused a delay lasting around three hours and 30 minutes. "We apologize to our customers for the experience and delay in their travels," The airline said to USA TODAY in an emailed statement. The incident occurred in a part of the airport where air traffic controllers do not communicate with flight crews, the FAA said. Following the strike, the aircraft returned to the gate, and passengers deplaned and boarded another aircraft, FlightAware data shows.

Some passengers were not wearing seatbelts as serving carts were making their way down the aisle, ABC News reported at the time. Passengers hit the ceiling and then fell to the ground, Leann Clement-Nash, one of the passengers on board, told the outlet. "It happened several times, so it was really scary," said Clement-Nash.

The $3 item parents swear by for keeping babies and toddlers entertained on flights

If you've ever flown with a baby or toddler, you know the stakes: You've packed the snacks, the toys, the iPad, the books… and you're still bracing for the inevitable moment when your child wants off that plane. But one mom's low-lift, genius solution is earning high praise from parents—and it costs less than your airport coffee: painter's tape. Why painter's tape works so well for little travelers Painter's tape is basically masking tape's gentler cousin. It's designed to stick without leaving residue, which means it's safe for airplane seatbacks, tray tables, or even your child's clothes. For little ones, tape is magic. They can peel it, stick it, crumple it, rip it, wrap it around things, and use it for endless imaginative play—no batteries required. Mom and photographer Nichola Knox first shared the idea after a flight with her toddler. She used it for everything from: Creating little 'rescue missions' for toys wrapped in tape Building mini bridges for toy trucks Making shapes and letters on the tray table Fashioning a bib out of a napkin Labeling cups Even making 'roads' for toy cars in the hotel room after landing 'That's how I keep my son entertained while making him dinner and he is in the high chair. It's magical. Hope you have a great trip.' Nicole Kressman wrote. Another mom Sara B said, ' My youngest is 7 and painters tape is still a top ten in demand item ' Related: 12 smart airplane travel tips from a mother of three kids 4 and under How to pack and use painter's tape for travel with kids The beauty of painter's tape is that it takes up almost no space. Pop it into your carry-on, loop it over your wrist like a bracelet, or hook it to a backpack strap for easy access. A few quick ideas to try mid-flight: Stick pieces to the seat back for your child to peel off one by one Create shapes, letters, or numbers for them to copy Make a 'fishing game' by taping toys in place and letting them pull them free Use it to secure lightweight toys so they don't slide onto the floor And when you land? Painter's tape becomes an instant babyproofing tool in your hotel room—covering outlets, taping shut drawers, or labeling water bottles.

It's mess-free, screen-free, and endlessly adaptable—exactly the kind of hack every traveling parent needs in their back pocket. If you're flying soon, toss a roll in your carry-on. Your future in-flight self will thank you. Solve the daily Crossword

Handsoaps Recalled Over Bacteria That Can Cause Sepsis

Four brands of soap and skin products are being recalled by their manufacturer after they were discovered to potentially be contaminated with bacteria that can cause infections, and even lead to sepsis in immunosuppressed people, according to announcements from the FDA and DermaRite Industries. The products, DermaKleen, KleenFoam, DermaSarra, and PeriGiene, have been recalled nationwide in the U.S. and Puerto Rico over the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia (spelled as cepecia in the FDA press release), though the health agency didn't indicate how the contamination of the soaps may have occurred. The announcements from the FDA and DermaRite Industries also didn't state where the soaps and skin products were sold, though listings online suggest the soaps are often purchased by companies and institutions for use in public facilities. It's not clear how popular the products may be at physical retail stores where the average consumer might buy them for use in the home, though they are available at online retailers like Amazon. Neither DermaRite nor the FDA immediately responded to questions Monday. The FDA's description of the recalled products: 'In healthy individuals with minor skin lesions the use of the product will more likely result in local infections, whereas in immunocompromised individuals the infection is more likely to spread into blood stream leading to life-threatening sepsis,' the company said in a statement posted online. 'To date, DermaRite has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.' Consumers who believe they're experiencing issues after using these products are encouraged to contact their doctors. The lot numbers and expiration dates for the recalled products, according to DermaRite: Consumers who have questions about the recall are encouraged to call Mary Goldberg at DermaRite Industries at the number 973-569-9000 x104, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm ET, according to the company's press release. The company can also be reached by email at: [email protected].
