Buzz Feed18 hours ago

A highly reviewed pair of memory foam cork sandals so you can get that Super Popular Nature-Sandal look, for less than half the price! Which also means you can pick, like, FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS for the price of one pair from "that brand." You're welcome.
Promising review: "I purchased these sandals for my 80-year-old mother. I was concerned about her footwear and safety. They fit perfectly, give her good support for short-distance walking, and they look fashionable." —sherie hallGet them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 12 colors).
Or a Cushionaire cork footbed sandal for a less strappy (but equally comfy and affordable!) look.
Promising review: "I turned 50 last year and the doctor recommended that I wear more shoes with arch support. I love these type of sandals but I was originally looking for another brand (starts with a "B," that is well known). However, who can afford those prices? After research, I came across this brand and ordered them last summer. So far, I am impressed. I wear them almost daily for around the house (inside). The bottom of the sandal is holding up. No wear or tear." —T.HGet them from Amazon for $26.94+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 26 colors).
A cushy pair of slides that will basically live by your door at all times because they're the PERFECT slip-on-and-go situation. Plus, they come in plenty of colors, so you can find the perfect look to complement your chosen summer vibes.
Promising review: "This review is long overdue. I work in the pet retail industry. I do receiving and stocking of very heavy pet food, cat litter, etc. for eight hours a day. I work on concrete floors. I'm 60-years-old. I've been an athlete my whole life, and I've had ankle injuries to both feet. I also have severe nerve entrapment syndrome in my left heel, as well as osteoarthritis. I have been wearing traditional flip-flops with a little bit of padding my whole life. When I got to the point that I literally couldn't walk from my bed to the bathroom, I knew I had to do something. My husband had purchased these, and told me about them. I will say, they are not attractive. By that I mean, I would never wear them outside of the house. That said, these are literally THE MOST COMFORTABLE THINGS I've ever put on my feet. When I come home from work, I put them on immediately. When I wake up in the morning, they're the first thing I put on. They have made a huge difference in my pain level and in my life. I cannot recommend these enough if you have foot pain." —yoyogirlGet them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and in 15 colors).
Some Skecher's wedge sandals if you want to be the height of fashion and the height of comfy. (Get it? ~Height?~)
Promising review: "These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn in my entire life. I'm 58-years-old and I have to say these are almost more comfortable and supportive than my sneakers. I've purchased white black and tan. You can dress up with them or you can dress casual with them." —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $33.60+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide sizes, and seven colors).
A pair of fully adjustable Teva Hurricane sandals because there's no reason to put up with awkward toe-rubbing and too-tight strap pain when Tevas exist. And they have a cute retro look that is sure to have you reaching for them all summer long.
Promising review: "The minute I put on these Teva sandals, I knew I had a keeper ! My last pair lasted over 30 years and are still running, but they are not as cute. Of all the colors available I chose the light blue ones with circle chains in the pattern and they are very elegant . Ever strap is adjustable, if I ever need to loosen them. Also, my 89 year-old feet love the soft and flexible foot pad. If you purchase Tevas, you will be glad you did for many years. Go for it!" —Jean R. WalkerGet them from Amazon for $49.86+ (available in sizes 5–14 and 51 styles/colors)
A pair of classic Clark slide-on sandals to show off that fresh pedicure in style and comfort.
Promising review: "I bought two pairs, one pewter and one natural tan. I love them both. This is the second summer season to wear them and I highly recommend Clark's for quality and they are so comfortable. I can wear all day, and I have problem feet. I love the velcro straps that I can extend to compensate for the bunions on my 74-year-old feet." —LTGet them from Amazon for $45.90+ (available in sizes 5–12, including narrow and wide widths, and seven colors).
A pair of thong sandals so the "beach daze" can be a state of mind (and feet!) rather than just a destination. If you want a touch of White Lotus in your wardrobe, these are practically screaming, "I belong at a high-end resort... minus the murder mystery."
Promising review: "Beautiful sandals. I live in South Florida, Palm Beach County. We all wear sandals down here! These shoes are so lovely. I appreciate these sandals have elastic as I'm 70-years-old and for some reason I cannot wear flip-flops." —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 11 colors).
A pair of Merrells for any puddle-jumping, damp gardening, and wet sidewalk stomping you've got ahead of you this year. These are designed to dry quickly and handle all kinds of terrain, so no fears about these getting ruined the first, second, or 100th time you put them on your feet!
Promising review: "I have purchased these sandals over the years. They last a long time. The tops of the sandal are a tad large but I have a AAA foot. I get them wet a lot and they dry out nicely. Great arch support. I am 60 and have a little trouble with back and knees...but my daughter dragged me to Washington, DC...walked 13 miles. Then to Epcot (12 miles), the next day at Disney World (11 1/2 miles) — my feet never hurt. She is 27 and I hung in there all day and night walking!! Could have walked a third day!! I told her it is because of the Merrells." —Rosemary CookeGet them from Amazon for $59+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 17 colors).
And some Keen closed-toe sporty sandals if you want those same puddle-jumping abilities, but with a lil' extra toe protection.
Promising review: "Love this sandal. I am an avid birder in Florida. I do a lot of shore-birding and was in desperate need of a sandal that I can get into the water with. Being close to 60-years-old I have various issues with plantar fasciitis, mild arthritis, etc. These sandals fit the bill for me. I purchased these in July and have used them four times for 3+ mile beach walks. This is the first time in 10 years that I have been able to do this without any excessive pain, or needing a few days recovery time from the walk in the water flats." —JNC - 50+femaleGet them from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in sizes 4.5–12 and 29 colors/patterns).
A pair of platform Crocs sandals everyone is going to ask about, because not only are they heckin' stylish, but they're also SUPREMELY comfy. Yes, you're going to have to say, "They are really Crocs," 700 times. Yes, it's still worth it.
Promising review: "These Crocs sandals are EXTREMELY well-structured for safety and comfort. The footbed is AMAZING, which allows long hours on my feet. They go with the full range of clothes — a great help when traveling! At 77-years-old with foot and knee issues, I am VERY FUSSY about shoe comfort and safety, but I'm also style conscious and want shoes that are fun and stylish. These check ALL THE BOXES. These are my FIRST PAIR of Crocs and I've become a big Crocs fan." —Quality-Conscious in AustinGet them from Amazon for $41.24+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 18 colors).
A pair of arch-support flip-flops because flip-flops shouldn't be synonymous with plantar fasciitis pain. These are designed to stay on your feet and not cause strain or tripping, so basically, you should go ahead and get like five different colors to keep your feet ultra happy for the rest of the warm weather days.
Promising review: "If I didn't live in New England, I would wear flip flops year round. I hate shoes. I used to wear regular flip flops but these are a game changer for my 50yr old feet. You feel the difference the moment you put them on. As a member of the sasquash foot club, they are wide foot friendly. All you have to do when you get them is pull the bands out a bit and they will work with you. Can't wait to get new colors for this years flip flop season." —Stacie Kieron Get them from Amazon for $40 (available in sizes 5–16 and 14 colors).
A pair of sports sandals reviewers say you can wear from dawn until dusk and still want to go back and wear the very next day. That's the kind of comfort we DESERVE in 2025.
Promising reviews: "Easy on old feet like mine. Almost 90-years-old." —robert33"This is my second pair of Ecco shoes and the only brand I will purchase from now on. As a senior citizen I find the styles up to date and not old lady shoes. They are super comfortable and I can wear them all day and still feel great in the evening. I would recommend them highly." —Maureen KapnicGet them from Amazon for $85+ (available in sizes 4–12.5 and 36 colors).
A pair of slip-resistant flip-flops that promise to help you glide effortlessly across wet surfaces without turning the whole world into a not-fun slip-n-slide situation.
Promising review: "These are the best flip-flops I have ever owned! I have worn flip-flops for over 55 years and have given them up as I got older due to the lack of support and comfort. I decided to try one more brand of flip-flops that claim to have great arch support and these actually do — these are fantastic, comfortable, cute and do not leave my feet feeling burning tired and sore after wearing for any extended time period. Love the colors and plan to purchase a second pair!" —Norma AnsellGet them from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 27 colors).
A pair of buckle slides as spunky as they are functional. A deep heel cup, arch support, and adjustable straps mean these will feel custom-made to your foot.
Promising review: "I have problems finding shoes that fit, these shoes are great. Not too loose or too tight, the fit adjustment is perfect for my foot. They're nice looking and I'll buy more in different colors. I'm 76-years-old, hope this helps others." —Janice KGet them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 21 colors).
Or a pair of adjustable slides for an equally supportive but more ~subtle~ silhouette.
Promising review: "I have had flat feet my whole life. Never, even as a child, I could not walk barefoot. Orthotics helped when I was younger, but at 67, I am limited to what shoes I can wear. Overpronation is a big problem even after foot surgery on one of them. These sandals make a great house slipper. I was afraid the foot bed would feel like Crocs, just plain hard. These have ridges, not points. My foot feels cradled and does not pronate as badly. As other people suggested, I went a half size larger. Right choice. These are not really a 'rugged' outdoor type sandal. They come in a bag, not a box, so I was a little suspect. But I also like that the adjustable Velcro closure on the top is not a wide one, that I know gets caught as it tends to curl up and ends up opening while you're wearing them. Other than maybe, the fabric across the top being a little more substantial in thickness, I'm pleased and will be buying another pair for light outdoor wear." —DonnaGet them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 17 colors).
A pair of bejeweled sandals because when you walk in the room, you can still make the whole place ✨shimmer. ✨
Promising review: "Perfect… bling and comfortable, what else would a 75-year-young diva want? Ladies, fit is great." —VICTORIA RAFFERTYGet them from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and seven colors).
A pair of low wedges with a crossover strap if you want some unique tan lines when you're catching rays.
Promising review: "Love these, very comfortable. I wish they had different color options with sole and fabric. I am 52-years-old and cannot go any higher heel than this. Perfect look and comfort!" —KathleenGet them from Amazon for $45+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and three colors).
A pair of Crocs slides to get an excellent shoe and an excellent canvas for all of your Croc shoe charms.
Promising review: "My 96-year-old mother prefers slides but her podiatrist told her she needs more padding in the sole. She wears a size 7.5 but some reviews mentioned that they run large so we ordered both a 7 and 6. The 6 fit PERFECTLY. Literally as if they were molded for her foot." —Libby DelanoGet them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 15 colors).
A rhinestone-embellished open-toe slingback sandal that has just a ~glimmer~ of stylistic oomph so it's both the perfect everyday shoe and great for those in-between — but frequent — casual-but-elevated kinda meetups that seem to pop up every summer. (Looking at you, new fancy brunch place!)
Promising review: "These shoes are so comfortable and adorable! I'm 60-years-old and like comfort, but also like some style. These shoes fit the bill! I'll be going out dancing in them on Friday night!" —ApriljoyGet them from Amazon for $33.11+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 16 colors).
A pair of faux-wood Dr. Scholl's slides if you remember the OG Dr. Scholl's version and want the new, improved updated silhouette in your closet.
Promising review: "Oh how I long for them for all my adult years, I'm now 55....with that being said, I ordered the white ones with the plastic/rubbery bottom! Just got them today, put them on and I love them! They are amazing and comfortable to walk in!! I will be getting more colors! Don't knock these, give them a try.....you might be extremely happy with them as I am!!! The fit is amazing, the comfort is beyond and they are extremely lightweight!" —DonnaGet them from Amazon for $40.30+ (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors).
A pair of Keen back strap sandals for making sure your sandals stay on their feet as they should in the most colorful, comfiest way possible.
Promising review: "I am a 60-year-old woman with arthritis in my feet and bunions on both sides of my feet! I can dance the night away in these sandals without pain at the time or the next day! This is my second pair of this style. I have had the first pair a couple of years now. I still love them. I was just needing another color!" —Connie FunkeGet them from Amazon for $71.73+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide and 17 colors).
A pair of slip-ons perfect for traveling, whether that be via plane, train, or automobile or for just traversing to your fave grocery store to see the summer produce options. The built-in memory foam footbed will help every step feel like walking on a cloud, no matter where those steps take you.

A pair of minimalistic sandals to give you the perfect shoe pairing to go with all your tunics and peasant tops.
Promising review: "I am 58-years-old and these are very comfortable. I have bunions and these do not pinch and I don't feel like I have to squeeze my toes all day to keep them on. They are a nice sandal without showing too much foot (nice when your feet aren't the prettiest 😂)." —GlendaGet them from Amazon for $109.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors).
A pair of cute colorful wedge sandals so perfectly meant for warm weather, you'll wonder how you ever survived a spring and summer without these.
Promising review: "These shoes are so comfy and cute that I'm reluctant to share this review. I just bought my second pair — even though my first pair are still in good shape. But they are THAT good — I always want this shoe in my closet. I have walked miles in this shoe all over the world, on cobblestones, uphill, down dale with no blisters, no sore feet and that's saying something for an old gal in her mid-60's. Try them out — just don't buy the last pair. I call dibs!" —CBSGet them from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and five colors).
A pair of Naturalizer heeled sandals with a cushy footbed designed to be lightweight and comfy while still making you feel elegant and ~above~ outfit panics.
Promising review: "I am 58 and have a lot of foot pain so I tried many different styles for a wedding. I found these to be very comfortable and so cute - not 'granny looking'. These offer great support for planter fasciitis (as well as heeled sandals can). I read reviews and research A LOT before buying something. I wanted to leave this review to help others who do the same. These were a winner." —TinaGet them from Amazon for $53.50+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and 35 colors).
A sweat-resistent high-arch flip-flop with a stylish central strap so you can live life to the fullest without worrying about sweat turning your stride into an oops.
Promising review: "I'm a lifelong flip flow wearer - they're standard uniform for coastal living. At 53-years-old, I'm learning to take care of my feet in order to function (who knew?). I have high arches, and now I have these comfy shoes to get me through the day. They are holding up well, and the strap across the top is soft and comfortable." —Patricia OdhamGet them from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 13 colors)
And finally, a Cliffs by White Mountain flower wedge sandal if you're so jealous of the summer flowers outside, you just need some on your shoes, too.
Promising review: "This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I now have White, Red and Black. I took these shoes to Washington, DC. If you have ever been to DC then you know how much walking you do. I'm 72 years old and one day we walked 4.5 miles. Yes, I got tired but my feet didn't hurt. I hate to see wintertime come and I won't be able to wear my Flip Flops." —Deb in DixieGet them from Amazon for $29.71+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and five colors).

32 Beginner-Friendly Home Upgrades That Look Pro

A 30-pack of picture hooks, which makes hanging pictures and mirrors on walls easy peasy. Just push, twist, and insert into drywall or plaster, no tools required. These hooks saved the day (and my walls) after I failed miserably with nails, screws, and adhesive strips while trying to put together a gallery wall in my dining room. Instead of fumbling to find a study to drill into (what am I, a magician?) or risking smashed fingers with another ill-fitting nail, I used these to hang my art quickly and safely. You just push them into the wall and twist until only the hook portion is visible. No stud-finding, no pre-drilling, no anchors — just push, twist, and hang. I honestly don't understand why these aren't in every household. They're that good. Get it from The Home Depot for $14.98. A top-down, bottom-up Roman shade that looks high-end but installs with just a couple of screws. It filters in soft, natural light while still giving you privacy, and the cordless design makes your space feel instantly more tailored. No rods, no fancy tools, no stress. Promising review: "The fit is fantastic and matches my measurements perfectly. I love the texture and the convenience of adjusting the height easily. It's great that I can raise them from the bottom or lower them from the top. Considering the level of customization, I believe the pricing is fair. I wanted light filtering, and these curtains provide the perfect amount of privacy for our bathroom." —C-RodGet it from Amazon for $37.49+ (available in 20 colors and over 100 sizes; be sure to clip the 25% off coupon when applicable). An outlet light if you need a little light here and there. Perfect for those of us who take nightly bathroom breaks or want to safely get to the kitchen for a midnight snack without turning on all the lights. A roll of window privacy film that'll instantly make your windows look more modern while keeping prying eyes out. It filters in natural light but blurs the view, so you can go about your day without giving the whole neighborhood a front-row seat. Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I installed it on my bathroom window. It's an older house, and for some unknown reason, the builders put a window right above the bathtub! Curtains and shades are impossible to keep clean, since mold grows there easily, so I decided to try this instead. It adheres beautifully to the glass and lets enough light in that I can keep a cute plant perched on the windowsill. Highly recommend!" —NancyHGet it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three sizes and four styles). A privacy window film to turn any window into a rainbow factory. When the light hits it, your space will be covered in rainbows. And when the light isn't hitting it, it looks like ornate stained glass. Or some stained glass window film that's a triple threat: it provides privacy, insulation, and it looks freakin' cool. Real stained glass windows are, what, a billion dollars? No thank you!! A stick of Erase-A-Hole putty to cover up the holes in your wall caused by nails. It also works on wood and plaster! A collection of antique-style brass cabinet pulls that'll make your existing cabinetry look new again. One of the most dramatic ways to change the look of drawers and cabinets is to swap out the hardware, and it's soooo easy. Promising review: "These are so nice and heavy. Such great quality for the price. They look amazing on the kitchen cabinets. I would recommend these for sure!" —Kindle CustomerGet a pack of 10 from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in different quantities, styles, and finishes). Or a set of ceramic apple knobs that'll give your cabinets an easy (and cute!) upgrade. Instead of settling for the blasé hardware that comes standard in rentals, swap it out for something fun like these itsy bitsy apples.

Some pre-made wall panels to elevate your walls to the next level. The only things you need are a nail gun and glue (or Command strips if you're a renter) to get the look. A pack of five refillable multi-surface touch up paint pens that'll effortlessly fix scratches and nicks on walls, doors, and cabinetry in your bathroom. Just fill up a pen with paint of your choice and fill in the problem area. Slobproof is a small business that makes paint touch-up review: "I keep these in my kitchen drawer and it's SO convenient for my painted cabinets! I moved into a house with older wood cabinets, and because it's such a small kitchen, I knew that painting the cabinets white (actually went with cream!) would make it feel so much larger! I LOVE the way they look, but inevitably (even though I sanded and prepped), I'll get little chips in the paint. These touch-up pens stay in my junk drawer full of paint at all times. The cap makes it so it never dries out and stays super clean. But I'm able to grab them any time and just touch things up so my cabinets ALWAYS look fresh." —Claire FloresGet it from Slobproof on Amazon for $24.99 (available in a pack of two or five). Some floating shelves to install in your bathroom to give your pretty things a place to shine. Most bathrooms just have a few towel rods, so installing these will give you plenty of opportunities to show off your gorgeous candles, ceramics, and hand towels. Promising review: "These shelves are so beautiful! My bathroom doesn't have a counter around the sink so this is perfect. It is modern and sleek and the wood and cast-iron shelves are very well built and sturdy. I was surprised that these are such high quality considering the price." —VincentGet a set of two from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven finishes). A mold-resistant white grout pen for covering grout stains with a fresh coat of waterproof white paint. Each pen can cover up to 150 feet of grout. Be sure to clean your grout beforehand, as this pen covers stains that will be easier to cover if the surface is are 11 different grout colors available: white, winter gray, light gray, gray, dark gray, black, ivory, cream, beige, brown, and terracotta. You can view all the colors review: "I have 12-inch white tile in my whole house that is 20 years old. Even though I kept it looking nice, the grout still was getting dark. I cleaned the grout and let it dry well until the next day, then used the grout pen. It looks like it is brand-new. One thing that I found out was that if the tip of the pen starts to look worn, you can just pull it out and turn it over — it is the same tip on both ends. It will take some time to do the whole house, but it looks so great that I will just do a section at a time 'til I finish. One other thing that I did was run my finger down the grout line after I applied the grout pen, then wipe down the tile line with a paper towel so no other cleanup was necessary." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in a narrow or wide tip). An under-cabinet lighting kit to give any space — kitchen, closet, bookshelf, you name it — a warm, ambient glow that instantly elevates the whole room. It's peel-and-stick, comes with a remote, and makes everything look a little more pulled together. Promising review: "I have five different sets in the kitchen and the adjacent living room. These are extremely easy to install, and you can adjust the warmth from very yellow to bright white. The quality is excellent, and there are no problems after months of use. I only use one remote control for all sets, but I could program each remote to control each set independently if I wanted to. Great value for the price." —John TrivesterGet 20 feet from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in color). A roll of peel-and-stick subway tile backsplash if your kitchen's walls are blank and you want to give them an upgrade. These are extra great if you're a renter — they don't damage the wall at all if you ever need to remove them. Promising review: "I've been wanting to try peel-and-stick tiles for a long time, and I'm so glad I found these for our kitchen facelift! They are so easy to apply and look amazing! I love that they are actual-size subway tiles as well! They've given our kitchen the last very important piece that it needed!" —April Grill Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 13 colors; be sure to clip the $10 off coupon when applicable). Or a peel-and-stick wallpaper for adding a colorful backsplash to your kitchen without having to, you know, install an actual backsplash. Talk about a renter-friendly DIY find! A pack of six furniture markers to cover up small nicks and cuts in your wood furniture and floors. Each kit comes with the most common wood colors (cherry, mahogany, walnut, black, maple, and oak) and matching crayons for easy filling when the damaged area is a little deep. Promising review: "I am thoroughly impressed! We have a 115-plus-year-old house, and we only have hardwood in our downstairs hall and den. We didn't want to spend tons of money because we are probably going to be replacing the flooring in a few years. I'm actually still working on this as I'm writing this, but I am so impressed that I just had to write a review right away. The only 'negative' I have is that the colors are darker than the caps show, but it's not a big deal. For the money, you can't go wrong." —BorgGet them from Amazon for $8.99. A dual-spray showerhead for a better bathing experience. The handheld head is great for making sure you never get out of the shower not realizing your hair still has conditioner in it.

A Tushy bidet that'll turn your apartment bathroom into a space that feels a little more thought-out and a lot more comfortable. Its simple design and adjustable pressure offer a clean, comfortable experience while helping you save $$$ on toilet paper. Installation takes 10 minutes and requires no electricity or additional plumbing. Some peel-and-stick floor tiles if you're unhappy with the way your current bathroom or kitchen floors look. These are half an inch thick and made of vinyl, so they can withstand a lot of foot traffic. They're also water-resistant and washable. Each box has 10 12" x 12" tiles. Promising review: "Best purchase ever, love that it brightened and give my bathroom a new fresh look. Easy to put together and only took about two hours." —BillyGet it from Amazon for $15.50. A plug-in wall sconce that's powered by an electrical outlet, because not all of us can or want to hire an electrician to install a more permanent light fixture. It's also got a dimmer. Promising review: "These lamps are perfect for over the bed. They have two switches. One is on the base to dim them, and then a lower switch is needed for when you are tired and don't want to reach that high! Perfect!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in black or gold, and in packs of one or two). Or a plug-in wall sconce with a fabric lampshade if you're looking for something with a softer aesthetic. Promising review: "We wanted to get rid of the large lamps we were using because the bedroom is small, and we didn't want to spend a lot of money. These are very easy to install and the price is great. Everything arrived in perfect shape and we love that the switch is on the base and not on the cord, that way we can use decorative cord covers. The swivel makes it nice to move into the perfect position. I might purchase another set for our guest room." —VWBugGeekGet a pack of two from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors). A set of removable tile decals that are specifically designed for stairs. They come in a roll just like tape, so you slap them on your risers and — boom! — you're done.

A pair of LED stained glass bulbs if you want your ceiling and walls to erupt with rainbows every time you turn on the light. If you don't have the option to paint your walls but love color, this is the product for you. A set of NoNo Brackets that cleverly snap onto your existing vertical blinds so you can hang your own curtains. This is crucial if you're a renter who can't remove your blinds but still want to have your own window treatments up.

Measures 15 inches long x 11.25 inches wide x 15 inches high and can expand to 25 inches review: "I'm so glad I bought this. I have a 24-inch vanity in my bathroom and this fit perfectly. I have it extended to about 23-inch and it holds sturdy, though I can see if you were to extend it to its full length it gets weak in the middle.

I got some clear bins to help organize bottles and other goodies I keep in the bath." —Marlene it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in three finishes).

Promising review: "Developed a garden on the apartment patio, and wanted to add some lights along the railing to give it some character. These solar lights are not too bright and were easy to install. All the lights work, which is great. Better than I could have hoped for. 👍" —KMFGet it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in two colors and also a set of 20).

It sits flat against the wall and runs the cord neatly along the baseboard, so your outlets stay functional *and* visually unoffensive.

I use these in closets, deep cabinets, and my bathroom that has a really loud fan that turns on every time I switch the light on. A pair of crystal drawer knobs if you want to feel like you live in an opulent mansion instead of a one-bedroom apartment. These antique-inspired knobs will dress up doors and furniture alike. Satin nickel switch plates because good design is in the details. Walls can be so drab, and this is basically a snazzy accessory to jazz yours up.

29 Comfortable Shoes To Wear This Summer If You Refuse To Deal With Blisters

Strappy chunky heels perfect for tearing it up on the dance floor this wedding season. Despite the solid, budget-friendly price, reviewers confirm there's no painful break-in period. "Barefoot" walking sneakers designed to feel like you're wearing nothing at at all... I'm talking: elastic collars, *memory foam-padded* heels, and a wide toe box. It's the foot equivalent of wearing pajamas outside. Soda flatform espadrilles offering an adorably chunky look that just screams beach vacation. In fact, I think they're already looking up flights to Greece as we speak. Foam slides so soft and squishy, you'll feel like you strapped pillows to your feet. Wear 'em around the house, to the spa, at the beach, or for long walks on vacation. Yes, they really can do it all! A pair of New Balance's classic 574s offering such foot-loving comfort, it's no wonder the brand has been a dad fave for so long. Now put these on and get out there to mow the lawn! A pair of ankle rain boots because I can't be the only one annoyed by clunky knee-high wellies hitting me in the shins. These sleek Chelsea boots are more comfortable and subtle enough that you can even wear them on sunny days without getting any weird looks. A pair of crossed-ankle-strap flats for anyone looking for a touch of ballerina chicness but without any of the toe-crunching agony that normally comes with the line of work. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable but also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best. Or if you're looking for an alternative to Birkenstock Bostons, a pair of clogs doing a great impression for a fraction of the price — soft suede, arch support, cork footbeds, and all. Water-resistant slip-on sneakers from Dr. Scholl's (that's right, the shoe insert people) with cushioned insoles that will cradle your foot through hours of walking. They're easy to kick on and off, making them ideal for going on early morning dog walks, making quick trips to the mailbox, and breezing through the TSA line. The famous Plaka sandals — over 19,000 5-star reviewers love these for their comfort and water-resistant braided straps that make them the ultimate beachwear. The beach is a no-blister zone! Adidas Cloudfoam Pure running sneaks that stay true to their name — it really feels like walking on clouds! The memory sockliner molds to your foot so the shoes start cushy and only get comfier with time. Oiled nubuck clogs with tractor soles to keep you from slipping while you attempt to get the perfect angle for a photo of you and the pretty summer flowers you match. Rothy's slip-on sneakers that are a favorite amongst parents, long-walk-takers, and pet owners. These are machine washable, so you can just throw them in the laundry bin whenever they're looking a lil' dingy. And pointed-toe flats similar to classic Rothy's with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dusty, just toss 'em in the wash. Ergonomic FitFlops that have been engineered to be the flip-flops to top all flip-flops. The air-foam soles are shaped to perfectly cradle your feet, meaning you can flip *and* flop for hours, pain-free. A pair of over-the-knee boots for when you know your night out is gonna involve a lot of walking but still want to serve. The stretchy thigh-highs will make any outfit club ready, and the chunky heels will let you actually dance when you get there. Crocs wedges that are decidedly less aesthetically offensive than the clog version but just as comfortable. Reviewers swear by them for any event that requires a lot of walking or standing. Crisscross slingbacks for anyone who loves flats but is sick and tired of ballerina flats. These buttery leather sandals were handmade in Argentina and only get softer with time. Sanuk flip-flops with cushioning that mimics yoga mat material, meaning your sweaty feet are going to be in good hands. Oh, and they last FOR-EVERRR. Lightweight and breathable sock-style sneakers for people who long to wear slippers outside. These knit kicks hug your feet and stretch as you walk. The flexible grooves add extra grip so you can scamper up rocks or skip down cobblestones without falling on your face (hopefully). Ultra-lightweight Cole Haan sneakers with a simple silhouette that makes it an easy choice to grab and go every single morning. There's no break-in period, so you can take these leather-topped cuties for a stroll right out of the box. Dansko Britney clogs, a longtime favorite amongst all foot-havers thanks to their incredible arch support, durability, adjustable straps, and general art-teacher-chic style. Sorel Kinetic Impact lace sneakers with a lightweight, breathable design boasting a dual-section sole for some much-needed cushioning. The cute scalloped sole is just the cherry on top. Or a Sorel strappy sandal in a variety of fun and eye-popping colorways. Take a look at the below in all their candy-colored glory. Like the sneaker version, the scalloped soles are lightweight but offer increased ground contact for support. Fisherman-inspired sandals with crisscross straps that keep your feet securely in place so you're good to go if you need to run to the ice cream truck. The cushioned faux-cork footbed is just the comfortable cherry on top! Allbirds tree runners that are honestly a fan-favorite of the BuzzFeed Shopping team. Anyone who has worn them has claimed that there isn't a single sneaker in existence that can beat them in sheer comfort. A pair of chunky Fila platform sneakers offering effortless style *and* a little lift. The thick rubber soles and extra padding will keep your tootsies safe even if someone accidentally steps on your foot on a crowded sidewalk. Soludos lace-up espadrilles that are somehow super comfortable despite the 4-inch lift. Reviewers swear that these things are more lightweight and comfortable than normal high-heels thanks to the sturdy, jute-wrapped wedge. BONUS: Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages if you've been wearing shoes not featured on this list and suffered the consequences. The cushioned, water-resistant hydrocolloid bandages speed up the healing process while protecting blisters from further damage. The tapered edges mean you can wear them for a few days in a row without worrying about your new shoes rubbing them off.

Amazon Listed a Sun-drenched, Pod-style Tiny Home That's Perfect for Solo Travelers and Couples—and it's $40K

If you never dreamed of living in an under-200-square-foot steel pod with glass walls, prepare to change your mind after seeing the ultra-modern tiny home Amazon is selling for $40,000. Designed with a minimalist style and thoughtful features like repositionable panels and extreme weather-ready materials, this tiny house is ready to be your vacation home, backyard Airbnb suite, office, or whatever space you can think of. At the core of this 19-foot-long pod home is reinforced interlocking joints and multi-layer walls that are designed to withstand extreme weather, according to the seller. It's said to be insulated, so you can use it in a variety of weather conditions. The seller also states that it's made to be set up in under eight hours, but it does not specify how many people are needed to aid with the installation. The house is designed with a kitchenette in the middle, across from the sliding glass door, while the bathroom is on one end, and the bedroom/living space is on the other. Besides the $40K price and the fact that you can buy it from Amazon, the home's design is what makes the structure special. One entire wall is glass, giving you natural light and a full view of the outside wherever you are in the home, making the space feel much more open. It has a central sliding glass door that also helps maximize space. This single-decker pod home is designed to be just the right size for a person or couple looking to minimize their lifestyle, buy their first home, or add to their existing living space. Read on for space-saving hacks that will work in any home. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.
