39 Things That Reviewers Would Recommend

A lightweight gel cream from Nivea with powerful Q10 that helps plump, firm, and moisturize skin in as little as two weeks with consistent use. Over 1,400 reviewers are happy with their results!
A high-end bottle of Takesan Kishibori soy sauce if you ever want to learn what you're missing by sticking with grocery store brands. No offense to Kikkoman, but this elevated sauce from Shodoshima, Japan offers a richer, more complex flavor that has happy reviewers pledging their allegiance.
A Tibet Almond scratch remover stick that you can apply like ChapStick for your furniture. The colorless balm can help hide light scratches, watermarks, and water stains from wood, bamboo, glass, and more. Just open the can, remove the wrapper, and start rubbing the stick on unsightly marks.
A pack of cold sore healing patches to zap painful blisters in record time. The hydrocolloid bandages keep the environment moist to speed up healing and prevent scabbing. They protect, conceal, and can lower the chance of you touching it and potentially giving yourself even more cold sores. 🤦‍♀️
A Bosu balance trainer ball that aims to make exercise fun — or at least not jaw-breakingly yawn inducing. It'll help you work on your strength, balance, and endurance while you watch TV, listen to a juicy podcast, or spy through the blinds at your suspicious neighbors, Rear Window style.
All-in-one decor paint for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition-worthy transformation. The chalk-like paint comes with a built-in primer to help it cling to most surfaces, from upholstery and wood to metal and glass. With over 50 colors to choose from, this paint can help you revitalize every room in the house. Aaand it dries in just 30 minutes!

Use this scrumptious oil to protect your skin from any razor mishaps; reviewers love that it helps them avoid razor burn and get an extra close shave.

A viral "Soft" perfume rollerball for anyone who wants people to think of them and think "yum." Reviewers compare this ~$5 fragrance to caramel, lemon cupcakes, warm vanilla scones, cotton candy, and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar!
White caulk tape if you've noticed (and proceeded to ignore) some cracks in your previous caulk job. Use the waterproof sealing tape to fill in gaps before they get any worse and unwanted guests see the bug equivalent of a vacancy sign. Reviewers say this is easier and cleaner looking than liquid caulk, so there's no excuse to keep putting this off!
An L-shaped body pillow that leaves other similarly-shaped pillows in the dust thanks to its cushy memory foam, super soft cover, and generous size. It's perfect for pregnant people, side sleepers, or anyone who just loves to cuddle.
A jar of O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream with beeswax and glycerin to give you the baby soft hands you haven't seen since you were, well, a baby. Apply some after every hand washing, and you may never see a dry patch again.

A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — oh and makes your eyelashes look like tall, beautiful skyscrapers. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful.

Curve Model Faces 'Awkward' Comment About Her Body During Flight. Why She Wasn't 'Shocked' by It (Exclusive)

Curve model Kate Kope got over 300K views on TikTok for opening up about her encounter with an older woman who commented on her body during their flight Kope, 27, recalled the woman saying that she was "not that fat" after she found out Kope classified herself as a curve model Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively, Kope reveals why she "was not shocked" by the woman's unfiltered reaction"There's nothing quite like getting humbled on your early morning @delta flight," model Kate Kope wrote when she posted a TikTok video about an awkward encounter she had with a seat neighbor on her flight to Los Angeles. In the clip, which received over 300K views as of writing, Kope — a 27-year-old curve model from Brooklyn, N.Y. — recalled that the woman made a comment on her body after finding out she was a curve model. According to Kope, who is signed on with Jag Models, a photo of her in lingerie prompted the woman to say this next. "She goes, 'Oh, don't worry, you're not that fat,'" she revealed. Following the incident, Kope tells PEOPLE she "was not shocked" by the woman's unfiltered response because she actually gets similar reactions pretty often. "I'm used to people not quite knowing what to say when I tell them I am a curve model," explains Kope, who says she is a "true 10" in size but can fluctuate from 8 to 14 on any given day. She notes that clothing samples for curve models range from a 12 to a 16. "In person, I am not at all what someone would consider as 'curvy' or 'plus-size,' so an awkward reaction often happens. I think people almost want to comfort me and let me know that I'm not fat, as if I have allowed the fashion industry to convince me otherwise for labeling me as a 'curve' model. So, I don't take their inappropriate reactions to heart." She adds: "To many people, fat equals bad and skinny equals good, so these interactions just reveal more about how people perceive thinness in society and how they look at women's bodies. Little do they know, I've done the mental work and no longer wish to strive for thinness as my life goal." Kope doesn't believe that the woman, whom she notes was older, made the comment with "malice or ill intent." "We actually had an interesting conversation about many things. Maybe I should have judged her more, but I truly let it roll off my back," she says. "I personally get more annoyed by younger people who make these comments because I expect millennials and Gen Z to be more aware." Kope describes herself as a "confident" woman, though these types of interactions only highlight her struggle to truly identify with her job title. "I shy away a lot from telling strangers I'm a model. If I just say 'model' without including 'curve' or 'plus,' I can see people immediately stare at my body and question the validity of my answer. But when I do say 'curve or 'plus', they often want to say how ridiculous it is. So, I exist in this middle ground where either answer warrants an often uncomfortable response." The conversation around plus-size modeling has grown thanks to the rise of models like Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser, Iskra Lawrence, Lauren Chan, Precious Lee and Hunter McGrady, all of whom have advocated for body diversity industry-wide. Although Kope, who started her modeling career a decade ago and has since worked for brands including Victoria's Secret, SKIMS, Fenty Beauty and Hollister, tells PEOPLE that she's noticed a "regression" in the number of job openings accessible to models like herself, and she sees it affecting her community. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"A couple years ago, curve models had more of a presence in the industry. My friends who are size 16+ would shoot campaigns, beauty and editorials. It felt like fashion was starting to explore what a size-inclusive industry could look like. But recently, there has been less and less of that happening. I've noticed brands shooting smaller and smaller curves or the models they're using are just midsize like myself. Many of my friends size 16+ are struggling to find their place in the industry again." "That is why I want to continue to talk about this on my social media," continues Kope. "Our perception of thinness cannot be so skewed by the media we are consuming. It's so unhealthy for the younger generation. I should not be the largest size they see in campaigns. I should not be the only depiction of a 'curvy' woman. Nothing has healed my perception and love of my body more than my community of plus-size models. They are confident, fashionable, funny, smart, and just the coolest people I know. If the brands right now won't highlight them, seek them out for yourselves!" Read the original article on People

‘Team Conrad' Or ‘Team Jeremiah'? Your Choice Might Reflect Your Relationship Style

The Summer I Turned Pretty has completely overtaken my TikTok feed, with countless people arguing over who the main character Isabel 'Belly' Conklin (Lola Tung) should end up with. If you haven't seen the show, the nostalgic teen drama centres around Belly and her dramatic love triangle. It's a bit complicated, because she's trying to choose between brothers: Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). They also happen to be lifelong family friends, and spend every summer together. Is it a recipe for disaster? Absolutely. But does it make for binge-worthy TV? You bet. The series, based on Jenny Han's books of the same name, has captured the attention of all age groups. Case in point: I'm a millennial who has been married for 11 years, yet I'm incredibly invested in what happens to these characters. There's something comforting about being transported back to summer, where you no longer have to worry about bills, the state of the world, or finding a place to live. However, being so removed from that part of my life where I was discovering love for the first time makes me view the show through a different lens. I started to get curious about whether my age, stage in life or what I value in relationships had anything to do with my opinion. With this in mind, I spoke to multiple experts about relationship styles, how watching relationships on TV can affect young people, and what being Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah could say about your relationship habits. If you need a quick refresher before The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, let me give you the basics. Conrad is the eldest of the two Fisher brothers, and he's your typical broody and mysterious heartthrob. Belly had a crush on Conrad her entire life, and everybody knew it. Jeremiah has always been one of Belly's best friends, and he's much more outgoing and tends to value communication. During Season 1, Belly kissed both of the brothers before deciding to pursue a relationship with Conrad, crushing Jeremiah. In Season 2, we found out that Conrad broke Belly's heart after he withdrew when his mother was dying from cancer, and she eventually reconnected with Jeremiah. We'll see which brother Belly chooses when The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 drops on July 16. Dr Joyce Yu, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Consent Labs tells Refinery29 Australia it's important not to assume what you see on screen is 'normal or okay'. As we know, there are many unhealthy relationships that become romanticised on screen (we're looking at you, Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass), so we should all approach TV with critical thinking. 'It's completely okay to enjoy media and TV shows, because they're often designed for escapism. But the key is being able to engage critically too: asking yourself whether what's portrayed reflects a healthy relationship in real life,' Yu says. 'One way to assess whether a relationship on screen is healthy is by assessing the power dynamics. Check whether there are elements that give someone more power. This could be their age, position in the workplace or social hierarchy, or professional role.' Yu also warns that 'respectful communication and consent' is key, and says TV shows often can portray jealousy as love. One easy way to test if a relationship you're invested in is healthy is to ask a simple question: 'If this scenario happened in real life to my friend, would I think it was healthy or problematic?' Team Conrad Psychologist Carly Dober tells Refinery29 Australia that those who are firmly in the Team Conrad camp could simply be attracted to him physically (hello, it's Christopher Briney), or that you could enjoy the 'bad boy archetype' or the 'push and pull dynamic'. 'This might mean that this kind of relationship is more of what you're looking for [or] it might mean that this feels familiar to you,' she explains. Conrad tends to be unpredictable — from leaving Belly in tears at prom to calling her a 'brat' and a 'mistake' — which feels cruel, but in the real world, can be familiar to many people. Those feelings of 'butterflies' that you can get in your stomach when you're in a relationship? They're not always a good sign. 'Unpredictability can cause anxiety, which can cause the sensation of butterflies in your stomach. This can be misattributed to excitement and novelty, whereas for most healthy and sustaining relationships, there will be clear communication and expectations, and that sensation will dissipate as you get to know and trust one another,' Dober says. Being Team Connie also doesn't necessarily mean you want this type of relationship in your own life, but perhaps you're craving something completely different from what you usually experience. TV is a great way to rot on the couch and tune out for a while, after all! '[Viewers] might just be enjoying the drama as an escape from their own lives. We often find that if people are questioned about how much they would like to be in a relationship like the one on screen, they would not want to at all,' Dober says. Team Jeremiah If you're Team Jeremiah, Dober says you may be 'attracted to stability and dependability', and he ticks the boxes for what you're looking for. 'It might mean that you admire his personal traits or how he talks to people on the show. It might mean that you're attracted to this kind of person anyway… or are interested in these traits in future partners,' Dober says. There's also a possibility you have been 'burned' in a relationship before, and recognise it's time to try something new. 'People might come to find familiarity with the volatility of some relationships. This doesn't mean that they want this or like this, it just might be the only thing that they understand. For many people, being 'burned' will encourage them to find something different,' she explains. Some viewers may root for a character demonstrating 'stability and dependability' because they're at a different stage of their life, and their priorities around long-term commitment have changed. Dober says this comes as a result of maturity and knowing "what it takes to have a sustaining and healthy relationship work". While she says the show is obviously entertainment, it can also reflect what people "are looking for in that stage of their lives, too". There are arguments for both Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah, and if you wade into fan debates online, you'll quickly realise how passionate everybody can be. Your views can be coloured by past relationships, what you're looking for in your personal life, or maybe you're just attracted to the actors playing the characters on screen. Perhaps being Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah isn't so black and white as I first thought.

Mom ignites controversial debate over her ‘insulting' birthday gift: ‘This is just ridiculous'

This mom is taking 'bring your own' to another level. Offering to help clean up at the end of a party is one thing — but bringing your own stash of cleaning supplies as a 'gift' to the party throwers is another. 'This is a kid's birthday party and the last thing I want to do to the parents of the child is to give them some present for the kids that's going to end up in landfill…,' explained a mom in a TikTok video. So what did she bring instead of an actual gift for the birthday kid? A bag full of cleaning products and supplies. '…so you know when you go to a party and everyone wants to help but nobody knows how to help because they don't know where any of the cleaning stuff is…I bring my cleaning rags… Glad Wrap, I like to bring dishwashing fluid…cleaning product — who knows how to find the cleaning products in someone else's house?' the determined mom said. This gesture could be looked at one of two ways — either it's a thoughtful idea or it's intrusive. And the commenters on TikTok were very divided on how they felt about it. 'This is so thoughtful. as a mama, I appreciate this so much,' one person expressed. 'this is pretty weird ngl,' quipped another commenter. 'this is actually a really cool idea,' another comment read. 'What the hell! Who the hell are you to bring cleaning products to a host's house! That's no present. That's insulting to the owner! No one needs your dodgy cleaning or dodgy cleaning products!' argued someone else. Talk about two contrasting views. In a follow-up video to all the controversy, the TikTok mom clarified that she doesn't give her cleaning stash as an actual gift. 'What I gave the kid was more time with their parents, so at the end of the party, the parents don't have to be cleaning up and doing stuff that will take them away from their kids,' she said, defending her decision. Unfortunately, the commenters stuck by their guns as the explanation video didn't sway their opinions. 'Tbh, family do this anyway. Personally I didn't think a child would value this. Parents might. It's not about having to spend money but choosing something a child would love,' someone argued. 'Omg everyone gets you don't give it to the child. You can do all of that and still give the child a present. Sorry, but this is just ridiculous,' another angry commenter wrote.
