29 Unique Etsy Finds That Are Worth Every Penny
A "Born to Yap" retro-leaning wall art printable you could situate right by your favorite spot to hunker down for an hours-long catchup call. Nothing hits quite like gossip that has nothing to do with you or the person who's hearing it for the first time. Handmade porcelain stuffed "olive" door knobs in case you're the olive friend (I am!) and want to snazz up your builder kitchen cabinets or a nightstand you rescued from the sidewalk. An extraterrestrial bookmark for anyone with out-of-this-world reading habits. Psst, if you're on the prowl for a new book, I can't recommend Mariana Enríquez's A Sunny Place for Shady People enough! A linen baby doll dress you can have custom-made to fit your measurements. Plus, that super cute low back (and the upcoming summer heat) will be the perfect excuse to go bra-less. Life is short. Bra bands are too tight. A pasta tote to tip off passersby that you live life on the edge by NEVER saying "when." A hand block–printed table runner that'll help create the perfect setup for your next tinned-fish spread. Did my invite get lost in the mail? A shark bath bomb you can have a lot of fun with post-Jaws rewatch. If you don't rewatch it at the start of summer, idk I just think you're living life wrong. A print of the perfect happy hour combo for those in the know (and top-tier taste buds). And in case you've never considered this combo, you're welcome. An "iced coffee" candle you'll probably want to put a bit out of reach — lest you grab it and try to take a sip during a work video call you really had no business tuning into (and you knew all along). A "white fridge" pen cup you can park on your desk and lure in the BEST kind of office pals. NeNe Leakes is an ICON and I shall not hear otherwise. A Stanley Cup for your lip balm because your insides aren't the only part of you that deserves to be hydrated! Just maybe this'll make it easier to keep track of your Work ChapStick and your Car ChapStick and your Bag ChapStick. A weekly pill organizer will also remind you to finally take your friend up on going out to that all-you-can-eat sushi place you've been meaning to try in the neighborhood. A disco cactus plant stake that'll liven up the houseplant that seems to wither one day and perk up the next. Perhaps this shiny beaut will rub off on it a bit. A Vampire Lestat tour T-shirt for anyone who can't wait to sink their fangs into the third season of Interview With the Vampire featuring Rock Star Lestat (and still listens to the Queen of the Damned nu-metal soundtrack). I'm right there with ya. A watering can so gorgeous that it'll remind you to actually water your house plants! Because some of us need the reminder. A watch-face bag strap can help revive last spring's bag that you LOVE but whose strap has been through the wringer. And it's easy to remove so you can move it around to bags as you please. A showstopping table lamp will somehow still mesh in with all sorts of decor despite being the coolest thing you've bought this year. A Truvy's Beauty Spot shirt because everyone knows that it takes some effort to look like this. Now if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me. A game controller stand in a variety of hues and designs so everyone in the fam can get one to their liking. A chic printed top-and-short set that'll be the perfect ensemble to help you feel like you're on vacation, even if you're just popping out to the store for more TP. Fidget "plants" you can twist, press down, or fidget with in all types of other ways. AND you won't even have to water them! Talk about some functional foliage. A gummy bear alligator hair clip for an extra sweet way to keep your hair outta your face this summer. Anyone else want ice cream? A ledge planter so you can take FULL advantage of your deck situation to spread some floral joy to your backyard. This will also securely attach plants to your porch or other rails. A cross-stitch PDF pattern to profess your love for that Costco $1.50 hot dog/soda combo and do something with your hands while they're not double-fisting said hot dogs. A 15-pack of dreamy cocktail stickers you can put on your Hydro Flask and make your pals wonder if you DID bring water to the park — or you're just gatekeeping because you didn't have enough sangria for everyone. Or perhaps a Scream sticker to help you kick off another Slasher Summer. It never feels like summer 'til I watch a masked killer slowly (but somehow very efficiently) stalk some teens. And a mini horror VHS keychain, including some movies that your mom would NOT let you get at Blockbuster back in the day. BUT she was right about Leprechaun. It def would've given you nightmares. A solar-printing kit to help motivate you to combine some outside time and crafting time this have some beautiful art to show off after! (Psst, this is also a really fun activity for kids!) A tiger-print dress passersby will assume you bought on a luxurious, tropical vacation. Go ahead. Let 'em assume. But then if they ask, be super helpful and point them to this Etsy shop chock full of dresses in glorious prints.

‘Sinners' Reviews: Does Michael B. Jordan Vampire Thriller Have Bite?
Michael B Jordan plays twins in "Sinners." Sinners — a new horror thriller from Black Panther and Creed director Ryan Coogler starring Michael B. Jordan — opens in theaters this week. What do critics think about the film? Rated R, Sinners plays in Thursday previews before opening Friday in theaters nationwide. The official logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Jordan plays the twin brothers Smoke and Stack in Sinners, which also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. As of Wednesday, Sinners has a 99% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 74 reviews. The RT Critics Consensus for Sinners reads, 'A rip-roaring fusion of masterful visual storytelling and toe-tapping music, writer-director Ryan Coogler's first original blockbuster reveals the full scope of his singular imagination.' David Ehrlich of IndieWire is among the top critics on RT who gives the film a 'fresh' rating, writing, 'A bloody, muscular, barrelhouse of a vampire movie that throbs like the neck of a blues guitar on fire, Ryan Coogler's Sinners might be the first story the Creed director has ripped straight from his own guts.' Critic Robert Daniels Roger Ebert online also gives the film a 'fresh' review on RT, but has minor issues with the film, writing, 'This collision of Queen of the Damned and From Dusk Till Dawn offers plenty of spectacle, even if it offers few new wrinkles to the vampire mythology, especially as it relates to the film's Southern setting.' Critic Richard Lawson also gives Sinners a 'fresh' review, although with small reservations. In his review for Vanity Fair on RT, Lawson writes, 'Sinners is propulsive and stirring entertainment, messy but always compelling. The film's fascinating array of genres and tropes and ideas swirls together in a way that is, I suppose, singularly American.' Like Lawson, Variety's Owen Gleiberman also has small complaints about the film, writing in his 'fresh' review on RT, 'Sinners works more than it doesn't, even if it doesn't always gel, but it's a commanding demonstration of how lavishly spirited and 'serious' a popcorn movie can be.' In his 'fresh' review on RT, The Hollywood Reporter critic David Rooney notes of Sinners, 'As much arthouse as grindhouse, it's a blood-drenched mix tape that shouldn't work. But it does, thanks to Coogler's muscular direction, a terrific cast, enveloping IMAX visuals, body-quaking sound and music that stirs the soul.' Clarisse Loughrey of the U.K.'s Independent also gives the film a 'fresh' review, writing, 'If cinema weren't in such a sickly state, Sinners' electric fusion of genres would be a guaranteed box office sensation ... One can only hope audiences recognize its bounty of riches.' Sinners plays in Thursday previews before opening in theaters Friday nationwide.
