30 Walmart Products To Help You Feel More Put-Together

A popular Revlon 2-in-1 hair styling tool that dries hair while simultaneously straightening, smoothing, and adding a bit of volume, giving you a sleek blowout hairstyle in just a few minutes. If you've always wanted to be someone who styles their hair every day but never have the time or energy, this is gonna be your new best friend.
Promising review: "I LOVE this Revlon Volumizer Hairdryer / Hairbrush Styler. I will admit, when I first started to use this hairdryer, I thought to myself 'this is being returned to the store' because it felt awkward to hold. After a few minutes of using it, I began to get comfortable with the styler. I also noticed my hair became extremely smooth and shiny. I have naturally coarse curly frizzy red hair. My hair DOES NOT ever look smooth and shiny. I was sold on this purchase after five minutes of using the styler. I received four compliments on my hair from total strangers on the first day that I styled my hair with this product. I would suggest using some type of heat protectant styling product whenever you use a hot appliance on your hair. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for smooth shiny hair." —ALASKA99Price: $33.58+ (originally $48.88, available in two colors)

Promising reviews: "I have always battled smelly feet. This product is wonderful, and it really works. I can go all day long without my shoes starting to smell. Each time you wear a pair of shoes, spray a couple of squirts on the inside of your shoes, and the smell is gone. I do the same thing after wearing my shoes. Highly recommend this product." —Mama"This foot spray truly works! I use it on my feet and inside my running shoes, and there is no odor! Love it!" —BrendaPrice: $9.96

27 Relatable Ways People Have Majorly Messed Up Cooking

Recently on the r/cooking subreddit, one very brave home cook got vulnerable with us, posting: "I just accidentally poured Worcestershire sauce all over my leftover bulgogi instead of soy sauce. Help me feel better by telling me your latest kitchen fuck ups." Fellow cooks empathized so hard and shared plenty of hilarious tales of culinary mishap. Here were some of the most relatable — and most unfortunate – stories of people really, really, really fumbling the culinary bag. "Added cumin to my cake batter instead of cinnamon." —xnormajeanx"I added cumin to my eggnog instead of cinnamon, did not realize until I took a sip."—fartblaster2000"I love these answers. I added cinnamon instead of white pepper to the cream of asparagus soup. Tried to convince myself it was fine..."—normychannel1 "Added hartshorn (old school ammonia leavening) to a cake instead of baking powder. In thin gingerbread cookies, the ammonia evaporates; in a thick cake, it doesn't. Caused the entire family gathering to start vomiting simultaneously." "I used to drink beer while I cooked. I absentmindedly took a long pull on a bottle of vegetable oil. I don't drink in the kitchen anymore." "My mum's ex was once making us spaghetti bolognese, and he accidentally used a cake spice blend instead of a savoury spice blend. It wasn't terrible, we still ate it, but he was beating himself up over it all night." "Powdered mustard in the scones instead of powdered ginger. I couldn't eat it, the dog wouldn't eat it, not even the squirrels in my backyard would eat it." —pupper71 "I was making gravy for Thanksgiving. Kept adding corn starch, and it wouldn't thicken. I finally tasted it... I was adding powdered sugar." "I once ruined a six-hour tortellini soup by using expired corn starch. 'It's not thickening and it's… gritty? What the hell?' I checked the starch I used that had been tucked away in the back of the cabinet. It was two years out of date." "The recipe called for three dried chillies. I somehow read this as a third cup of dried chillies. Momentarily, I thought that was a large amount, but I'd had a couple of beers and love spicy things, so I dutifully prepared them. I love spicy things. I did not love this meal." —CB11KB77 "Not my latest, but probably my best: capers and green peppercorns come in very similar bottles and look a lot alike. They do not, however, taste alike. It took me a minute to figure out why my salmon was so peppery." "Yesterday morning, I sliced up my last banana over a bowl of cereal and then soaked the whole thing in… chicken broth. The container was exactly the same shape and size as our almond milk container!" "Bulk bottles of soy sauce and pancake syrup were very similar looking. Tried soy sauce waffles; -2/10, do not recommend." —Dezlie9 "I was still half asleep, trying to make scrambled eggs for breakfast. I've been on a real boiled egg kick lately. I cracked two eggs, one right after the other, over the trash can instead of into the bowl, in anticipation of peeling them like a boiled egg, and that's how I wasted two whole f***ing raw eggs in this egg economy." "Not me, but a friend, who cooked stock all day, then strained it at the sink, without a vessel underneath the strainer. Bye stock." "One time, I filtered homemade shrimp stock into a container in the sink, and then immediately washed my hands over the container. The stock got a bit too soapy to use in the gumbo." —gerardkimblefarthing "Garlic powder instead of ginger powder in my oatmeal because my husband rearranged the spice cabinet without telling me, and I was used to grabbing from the same spot every morning. I didn't want to waste a whole bowl of oatmeal, so I ate it anyway. Bleh." "Once I baked a cake, made the frosting using flour instead of icing sugar... the cake was successfully ruined." "I added a cup of salt instead of a cup of sugar to a gallon of tea without realizing it and served it to guests. I thought I would never recover from the experience." —Strong_Possible_2940 "My worst cooking fail: Christmas Eve with my family and my best friend's family. We splurged on a prime rib when we did not have much money to spare. I kept checking the temp, and it just wasn't going up! That was the day the oven died. Hours later, I finally figured out the oven wasn't working. I pivoted to trying to cook it on a grill. I had to be close to 10–11 p.m. before it reached a reasonable temperature..." "I used liquid smoke in cookies instead of vanilla." "I'm a chef; however, in my younger years, I burnt not one, but two pots of boiling water." "In a cooking fervour, I reached for the olive oil to add to the pan of sweet potatoes. It was a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream. The potatoes still turned out pretty good, to be honest." "I was cooking a three-bone prime rib roast and couldn't figure out why it was taking so long to get up to temp. I accidentally set the probe to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. Ruined." "Son microwaved some hot dogs in foil yesterday." —Turbulent_Novel6792 "One time making granola, I accidentally added salt instead of sugar, and to 'counteract' it, I added… pepper??" "I've added salt to my brownie batter, thinking it was sugar. That first bite was hella confusing!" —ocean_swims "Tossed an entire bowl of strawberries in salt instead of sugar. Didn't know until I tasted one. Nearly fell over from the salt bomb." "I added to my smoothie what I thought were frozen blueberries. Turned out to be frozen black olives. It was not good." "Why freeze black olives? I don't know; I just did."—PHXSCJAZ The best way to avoid a similar fate to these folks? Follow a recipe!

When is Juneteenth 2025? Is there mail? Are banks closed? All about the federal holiday

It's known as America's Second Independence Day, and it's coming soon. Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. It's the longest-running African American holiday, and it became a federal holiday a few years ago. Here's what to know about the holiday. Yes, Juneteenth is a federal holiday in 2025, according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. It is one of 11 federal holidays observed every year. The others are: New Year's Day Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Washington's Birthday/Presidents Day Memorial Day July 4 Labor Day Columbus Day Veterans Day Thanksgiving Christmas Day Juneteenth will be marked on Thursday, June 19, 2025. Unlike other federal holidays, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving, which are observed on a specific day of the week, Juneteenth is celebrated on the actual day. Juneteenth commemorates the day — June 19, 1865 — when federal soldiers arrived in Galveston to take control of Texas and ensure the slaves were freed per the Emancipation Proclamation, according to the History Channel. Juneteenth — short for June nineteenth — marks the end of slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. Juneteenth is a portmanteau of June 19, the day Union troops arrived in Galveston. It became known as "Juneteenth" by the newly freed slaves of Texas, according to the National Museum of African American History & Culture at the Smithsonian. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863. But its effect was limited, according to the National Archives. It only applied to states that seceded during the Civil War, leaving slavery intact for slave states that stayed with the Union. It also could not be enforced until Confederate states were under Union control, according to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Therefore, it took until June 19, 1865, for slaves in Texas to be freed. Slavery in America was formally abolished with the 13th Amendment, which was ratified Dec. 6, 1865. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021. President Joe Biden signed legislation on June 17, 2021, according to USA TODAY, after Congress passed The Juneteenth National Independence Day Act that same month. Juneteenth began rising to prominence in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, sparked protests across the country against police brutality, USA TODAY reports. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., first introduced the Juneteenth bill in 2020 following the killings of Floyd and Breonna Taylor of Louisville, Kentucky. His initial attempt to pass the bill was unsuccessful. No. As a federal holiday, the U.S. Postal Service is closed that day, and there will be no mail delivered. FedEx pickup and delivery services will be available on June 19, according to the company's website. FedEx Office locations will also be open, USA TODAY reports. Juneteenth is a Federal Reserve bank holiday, meaning the organization that regulates the nation's banking system is closed, according to Banks aren't required to close for Federal Reserve holidays, but they often do. Transactions made during these holidays won't be posted until the next business day. Branches of Capital One, Bank of America, PNC, Truist, CitiBank and JPMorgan Chase will be closed on Juneteenth, USA TODAY is reporting. Capital One Cafes will remain open. The New York Stock Exchange is closed on federal holidays and will be closed on Juneteenth, according to its website. Trash pickup may be delayed because of Juneteenth, depending on the hauler. Contact your municipality or private provider to learn more. This article originally appeared on The Columbus Dispatch: When is Juneteenth 2025? Is there mail? Will banks be open? What to know
