The 8 best products Yahoo Canada's shopping team tried in May — seriously, we're obsessed
It's safe to say May kept us on our toes — one day it was T-shirt temperature, the next we were reaching for our umbrellas and raincoats again. While the weather couldn't quite make up its mind, our shopping editors had no trouble picking out their favourite products of the month. From practical everyday items to the impulsive splurge that turned out to be totally worth it, this month's best picks strike a healthy balance between functional and fun. And while we do love testing products (because who wouldn't?), we're really here to answer one question: is it worth the money? If you're interested in what made the cut, here are the things we reached for again and again in May, and we think you might, too. Keep reading to see what stood out, as well as a sneak peek at what we're eyeing as we head into summer. I've written about this sunscreen stick before, but recently replenished my supply ahead of the Victoria Day long weekend. While summer may seem like it's never coming, Canadians, I promise it'll be here soon — and you don't want to get caught without sunscreen. I love this clear Shiseido suncreen stick which glides on easily, doesn't have a scent and can easily fit in your bag or backpack. While it's quite pricey, a little goes a long way — and I'm willing to splurge for the best sunscreen stick I've found. — Hilary Hagerman, Lifestyle & Shopping Managing Editor One of my recent hyperfixations has been researching the gut-brain connection. I love reading (and writing!) about health, mental health and longevity (this is an excellent book if you care about the latter), and thus, I have spent a lot of my spare time learning about the gut-brain axis. What is the gut-brain axis? Research suggests that digestive system activity may affect cognition (thinking skills and memory), mood, and even anxiety and depression. To maintain a happy gut, I take a daily probiotic. Recently, this probiotic has been the internet-famous Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic. DS-01 is formulated with 24 strains not commonly found in other probiotics or foods and boasts 53.6 Billion AFU. It takes a few days for your body to adjust to Seed (don't stray too far from a bathroom), but once you get used to it, it's great for overall health and wellness. While I really like Seed, my main (and big) gripe is shipping and duties. If you're based in the U.S., shipping is free. However, for those of us up north, you can expect to pay more for the already pricey supplement. I've enjoyed trying it, but after my 60-day supply is depleted, I'll look for a Canadian-made alternative. - Kayla Kuefler, Senior Shopping Editor You've probably come across the bestselling Skylight digital photo frame (which makes a great gift idea, might I add), but have you heard of the digital calendar? When I stumbled upon this nifty gadget, it immediately piqued my interest. If you find yourself constantly overfilling your wall calendar or daily planner — because let's be real, there's never enough space in those little squares — then this product is right up your alley. This smart calendar uses an interactive touchscreen and Wi-Fi connectivity to help you track your day-to-day tasks, events and appointments. I'm thoroughly impressed with its ability to keep everything streamlined, from daily duties and chores to meal planning. My favourite part is the colour coordination of it all; it helps keep my schedule separate from everyone else's in the household. You can prop it up on a counter or hang it on the wall, and it can be positioned in landscape or portrait mode. And the yearly subscription allows it to double as a photo frame (which I highly recommend). There are so many useful features on this calendar that keep things easy and concise, making it worth the splurge in my opinion. My only note is that the touchscreen can feel laggy in comparison to my iPhone 15 Plus. — Melina Brum, Shopping Editor Justin Trudeau may stick with Gazelles, but I'm an Adidas Japan fan through and through. Confession: I actually have these in three (!!!) other colourways, but I couldn't resist the hunter green and cream combination. These low-profile sneakers are stylish, but unlike other cool-looking shoes I've tried, they're actually comfy as heck right out of the box. If you've never bought Adidas shoes before, make sure to check the size guide (or try them on in store) — I typically take a full size down from my usual women's size. — HH I am completely and utterly obsessed with the Venom 2 Back from Hyperice. Dubbed the "most advanced heat and massage wrap on the market," the Venom 2 Back heats up 6x faster than a standard heating pad and provides instant, soothing relief to sore muscles. I walk a lot, often whilst carrying a very heavy backpack, and do a lot of physical activities, so this vibrating heating pad is a staple in my end-of-day routine. It heats up in seconds (literally) and offers three different vibration options. I recently moved to a new apartment, and my mom flew in to help me get settled. At the end of each day, we took turns using the Venom 2 Back to soothe our sore backs from the move. While she was packing her suitcase to return home, I had to double-check that she didn't try to sneak it into her carry-on bag. If you suffer from back pain (especially lower back pain) and love some TLC at the end of a long day, the Venom 2 Back is worth every penny. The battery does die relatively quickly, but honestly, considering how much relief it packs into a single use, it's not a big deal. My mom has already asked my dad to buy it for her for Christmas. It's awesome. - KK If you're a fellow hair-wash-day procrastinator, then you're probably no stranger to dry shampoo. Don't worry, I'm with you, but I've long since strayed away from aerosol versions once I discovered how damaging they can be. However, I couldn't steer clear of dry shampoo for long, knowing how much of a staple is in my beauty regimen. I eventually came across powder products, like the Briogeo Dry Shampoo Powder Puff, which has become an absolute godsend. And if you're anything like me, I can assure you you'll love this non-aerosol, talc-free dry shampoo powder puff just as much as I do. I own the tinted one for darker brunette hair, and I love how it helps fill in separated strands that oily hair tends to create. To apply it, I simply dab my scalp with the built-in puff and it works to absorb excess oil, leaving me with a fresh finish. It's incredibly easy to use and a little goes a long way, and since it's powder it will last a good while. So, while $38 is pricey, I know I will continue to get good use out of this game-changing product. — MB I'm a big Canadiana girl (the downfall of The Bay has broken my heart in two), and thus, I'm a sucker for any T-shirt, sweater or pair of sweats that are branded with a little bit of Canadian pride. Roots' entire Canada Collection is adorable, but it's this Fruit Series T-shirt that I find myself wearing on repeat. It's crafted from 100 per cent cotton and is incredibly comfortable. Tip: The shirt follows gender-free sizing, so it fits large if you're looking for a classic women's fit. If you don't want an oversized look, I would recommend sizing down. - KK If you know anything about Korean skincare, you're likely familiar with the term "glass skin." In my attempt to achieve said glass skin, I tried to find products that would deliver effective results within a reasonable price range. The brand BYOMA has been on my radar as of late (and not just because of its super cute packaging), so when I came across this Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum, I had to give it a shot. Why, you ask? Well, it's advertised as a "one-step solution for glass skin." While I don't believe any product is a miracle in a bottle, I can say I've noticed many benefits with this "super-serum." Right off the bat, it's clear, lightweight and absorbs into the skin quickly. Every time I put it on I feel refreshed and my complexion appears a little more glowy than before. It's too early to tell if it can majorly transform my skin, but so far, so good. I will continue to keep up with it (and the price is great!). The only thing I noticed is that the consistency is a little tacky when rubbing it in my hands, but it dries perfectly fine. — MB Article Cigar Queen Storage Bed Briogeo Superfoods Acai + Passionfruit Hair Mask Tineco GO H2O Cordless Hard Floor Wet Cleaner Laneige Lip Glowy Balm (Matcha Bubble Tea) BONA Hardwood Floor Cleaner

Keeping this body part healthy is the ‘secret sauce to everything' — here's the ‘ultimate biohack' to take care of it
Quit your bellyaching — one CEO promises that fixing a single part of your body is the 'secret sauce to everything' that ails you. There are countless high-end gadgets on the market that biohackers swear can optimize your body to live healthier for longer, but according to Katie Wilson, the 'ultimate biohack' is way cheaper — and tastier. And she has a bunch of celebrities on board, including Bethenny Frankel, Scott Disick, Taylor Frankie Paul, Caitlin Jenner and JoJo Siwa. 4 A CEO says the 'ultimate biohack' is getting enough fiber, which can impact your overall health. sorapop – Constipated? Bloated? Tired? Irritable? Look no further than your digestive system. 'Honestly, gut health is the secret sauce to everything,' Wilson, the CEO and co-founder of BelliWelli, told The Post. 'It's not just about digestion — your gut impacts your skin, your immune system, how energized you feel, even your mood. It's literally the foundation of total health, wellness, and even beauty.' Studies have even found links between the gut and Parkinson's, colon cancer, and other conditions, with doctors routinely recommending people get more fiber in their diets. That's because fiber doesn't just keep things moving down there — though it certainly does help keep bathroom habits regular. It can also help manage your weight, lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease, and just generally contribute to a longer life. 'You thought fiber was just something that cured constipation, but it's actually one of the most powerful tools we have for our long-term health,' Wilson explained. 4 'Honestly, gut health is the secret sauce to everything,' BelliWelli CEO Katie Wilson told The Post. BelliWelli 'There are many forgotten benefits of fiber. Fiber is a foundational nutrient that supports immunity, energy and mood, and it's even been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease, diabetes and even some cancers. 'Most people have no idea that fiber can play a key role in helping your body manage everything from blood sugar to stress.' She points to 'real science' that connects fiber to a longer, healthier life, calling it 'the ultimate biohack.' Her brand's fiber supplement powder comes in a bunch of flavors — including watermelon, strawberry lemonade and peach mango — and contains 3.5g of dietary fiber per serving. It's also combined with probiotics, collagen and electrolytes, making it an 'everything scoop' to double down on gut health, promote healthy skin and hair, and help with hydration. 4 While fiber can help keep things regular, it's also been linked to lower cancer risk and other health benefits. New Africa – 'We wanted to sneak in all of the good stuff you know you should be taking. It's like Liquid IV, Vital Proteins and Seed had a baby,' she said. Wilson had made it the brand's mission to bring 'a new generation to the fiber aisle' — in other words, they say, this isn't your grandma's fiber supplement. To that end, they've enlisted a lengthy roster of reality TV show and social media stars for viral videos on TikTok and Instagram. The packaging is also colorful and shiny: Wilson wants it to 'proudly sit next to your other beauty products' on your counter. 4 BelliWelli's fiber supplement powder comes in a bunch of flavors. It's also combined with probiotics, collagen and electrolytes BelliWelli And the key, she says, is not just to use it when you're backed up. 'We want you to scoop your fiber just like you do your protein — not just when you feel a digestive issue coming on,' she said, encouraging people to 'add scoops to your Stanley all day long.' In addition to a supplement, experts recommend adding more fiber to your diet. Speaking to The Post, Stephanie Schiff, a registered dietitian nutritionist at Northwell's Huntington Hospital, previously shared five food groups to choose. Whole grains — oatmeal, barley and bulgur wheat Beans, peas and legumes — black beans, navy beans, lentils and split peas Fruits — avocados, raspberries, blackberries, pears and apples Vegetables — broccoli, asparagus, artichokes and Brussels sprouts Nuts and seeds — chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds and almonds

What Is Date Seed Coffee And Why Everyone Is Suddenly Obsessed With It
There is something about a strong cup of coffee that just feels right. It wakes you up, gets you moving, and wraps your senses in that deep, toasty aroma. For a lot of us, coffee is more than a drink - it is a full-blown morning mood. But caffeine? That is the part that does not always feel like a warm hug. Think anxiety, sleepless nights, jittery hands, and the occasional "Why is my heart trying to run a marathon?" moment. No wonder some coffee fans are a bit nervous about that second cup. Enter the date seed coffee. The latest caffeine-free trend the wellness world cannot stop talking about. It is made from roasted date seeds, and people are loving it for its coffee-like flavour minus the side effects. Bonus? It is good for you. What Is Date Seed Coffee, Exactly? This is not one of those fake, lab-grown coffee swaps. Date seed coffee is the real deal - just made differently. It is brewed from roasted and ground date seeds (yes, khajoor), giving you a deep, nutty drink with natural notes of cocoa and warm caramel. It is smooth, mellow, and totally caffeine-free. So you can enjoy your coffee moment without the buzz, the crash, or the 2 AM regrets. Is Date Seed Coffee Safe To Drink? Yes, it is safe. Date seed coffee is not just riding the trend wave - science says it is legit. Researchers worldwide have backed it as a healthy and safe coffee alternative, especially if you are trying to cut down on caffeine but still want that cosy mug of comfort. In fact, a study published in Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications looked into the benefits of date seeds, and the findings were pretty exciting. Why Everyone Is Swapping Their Coffee For Date Seed Coffee: 1. It is a great pre-workout drink: Date seed powder may help boost physical performance during intense workouts like HIIT. So it is perfect for your gym bag and your morning routine. 2. It is packed with nutrients: Date seeds are loaded with polyphenols and fibre, both of which are brilliant for your gut, digestion, and overall health. 3. It helps fight toxins: With its high antioxidant content, date seed coffee may help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress - two things you really do not want hanging around in your body. 4. It supports mental clarity: That same study also linked date seeds to better focus and mental health. Think of it as your brain's new best friend. How To Make Date Seed Coffee At Home: Sure, you can buy date seed coffee online or from your local health shop. But if you are in the mood for a little kitchen project, making it at home is easier than you think. Plus, it lets you control the flavour. Save those date seeds (khajoor), wash them well, and dry them completely. Heat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Spread the seeds out on a tray and roast them for 30 to 40 minutes, until they smell warm and nutty. Cool them down, then grind them just like you would coffee beans - use a spice grinder or coffee grinder. Want more flavour? Add a little cardamom, cinnamon, or clove to the ground seeds. Brew as you would regular coffee. Best Ways To Brew Your Date Seed Coffee: What is great about date seed coffee is that it fits into whatever coffee routine you already have. Whether you are into bold espresso or a smooth pour-over, it works. 1. In a French press: Add one or two tablespoons of ground date seeds. Pour in hot (not boiling) water, stir, steep for 4 to 5 minutes, and press. 2. In an espresso machine: Use fine-ground date seeds like you would regular coffee. You will get a bold, rich shot with earthy vibes. 3. In a pour-over: Use a filter, medium-ground date seeds, and pour hot water in circles. It really brings out the caramel and cocoa flavours. 4. With a milk frother: Make a strong shot of date seed espresso. Froth some milk, mix it in, and sprinkle some cinnamon or cardamom. Café vibes at home. The Bottom Line: If coffee is your comfort drink but caffeine is not your friend, date seed coffee is a game-changer. It is bold, earthy, and full of feel-good perks. Plus, it looks cool on your kitchen shelf. A small switch, a big win for your daily routine.
