Michelle Pournia is a woman-owned small business based in Monterey, California.
Promising review: "I LOVE these coasters so much I almost don't want to give them as a gift. Having the choice between so many shades of pink was the best, and they turned out gorgeous! I didn't even think of if they would be slippery or not, but the added grips on the backside are perfect." — Jenna
Get them from Michelle Pournia on Etsy for $15+ (available in four colors and in sets).
2. A beautiful tennis bracelet to add just the right amount of "oomph" to your look. This 14-karat gold-plated bracelet looks way more expensive than what you paid for and has a durable clasp so you can wear it all day every day.

3. A set of quilted placemats that will look gorgeous on your dining room table and under the fancy plates you take out for special occasions (or the simple Target ones you got on sale)! The scalloped edge adds extra detail, and best of all, these are reversible and machine washable!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "It is surprisingly hard to find good placemats. We have found that quilted placemats are the best because they don't curl or shrink after one wash, and they are thick enough to prevent condensation from building up under your hot plate at dinner time, which is kind of the point, right? But they are expensive or hard to find. But these are great! They are beautiful. We have washed them several times, and they are still beautiful and completely intact. Definitely buy these." — Alyona
Get a set of six for $31.99 (available in 25 colors).
4. A satin ribbon bow bookmark so darling you'll want to get one in every color and grab a new book just to go with it. Just think about it, your cover of Twisted Love by Ana Huang will look perfect with the light blue bow!

12. A 3D printed lamp that doubles as a dried flower vase. (Genius!) You're able to change the lamp's color, so you can even match it to whatever colored dried flowers you choose. Who needs a boring old lightbulb and shade when you've got this pretty thing?

They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are of course great for leftovers, but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shedded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me."
Get them from Amazon for $21.25+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).

Its coating doesn't contain PFOA, lead, cadmium, toxic metals, or nanoparticles. It's also dishwasher safe!
Promising reviews: "I waited to write a review until I'd actually tested the pan and after using it for two months, I can honestly say that it is amazing! It's the best cookware product that I've ever used as it heats up evenly and cleans so easily (even the bottom of the pan still looks new). I am currently looking at other Goodful products to replace my other pots so YES, I'd highly recommend this product!" — Johnny O
"I purchased this for my mother-in-law since she has arthritis in her hands and can't lift anything heavy. This pan is incredibly light and it's become a favorite with everyone who cooks in this kitchen. It holds a lot, cooks evenly, and even gets clean in the dishwasher.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors).

Amazon
Promising review: "It's always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they're supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That's not the case with these! They're soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they'd be. I'm definitely going to order in more colors." — Amazon Customer

24. A darling "Candle By The Hour" beehive candle sure to get some buzz from your friends because this might be the coolest candle they've ever seen. Once you light it, it burns until the flame reaches the tip of the little extinguisher. Yay for a cool candle and not forgetting about an open flame!
www.amazon.com
This is made of beeswax and designed to burn for a total of 70 hours!
Promising review:"I bought two of these candles, the bigger one and the small one. They are so freaking cute! They look and feel 100% like the pictures! My daughters and I had fun decorating the wax with the toy bees. I lit them for the first time because the lights went out and I was scared at first because I didn't think they would go out, they 100% go out and I was so relieved I lit some more and went to bed. I am just so glad I got these." — Melissa Gray
Get it from Amazon for $24.31.
25. Or, a genius candle warmer lamp if you don't want to bother with flames, but still want to enjoy that fancy candle splurged on from Anthropologie. It'll help increase the longevity of your candle, and as Kacey Musgraves once said... "I'm alright with a slow burrrrnnnnn."
It includes a halogen warming bulb, and even has a dimmer so you can adjust it to your desired brightness level.
Get a closer look at it on TikTok (it looks super cute in a kitchen too)!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says: "🎶 It's me, hi. I'm the impulsive buyer, it's me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn't need)...I finally did it, and WOW am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift."
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in two colors).
26. A wavy full-length mirror so cool and unique that you'll want to take mirror selfies and OOTD pics in it for everyone to see. It'll be the mirror mirror on the wall that is the fairest and funkiest of them all!

Get it from H&M for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–4XL and in three colors).
29. A rug, which adds a vintage-y vibe thanks to its beautiful patterned design. It cleverly hides stains—perfect if your kids tend to make a mess—and the best part? It's machine washable!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I purchased this rug because the design looked pretty (and is!) and the color scheme matches my furniture and carpet. For the price, it's a good deal. It's heavier than I thought it would be, which is a good thing because it does not kick up when you walk on it. The material is so soft and buttery with little to no smell. There are slight wrinkles, which might be able to be smoothed out with wear. Almost wish I would have went one size bigger. Definitely will buy another in a different print." — Horror FreakNess
Get it from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in eight sizes and 11 colors).
30. A stuhhhhninggggg glass blown flower vase — it's definitely a splurge, but my oh my, it's gonna look good on your kitchen table, living room shelf, or pretty much anywhere you find an excuse to display it. It's pretty with flowers in it, but it looks just as beautiful on its own.

Promising review:"The color is perfect, and my first slices of toast were too. It's easy to adjust. I used the included guide with pictures to adjust the knob based on how dark I like my toast. It was exactly how I like it. My old toaster was basically giving me warm bread. Not this little baby. I'm so happy I found it and that I didn't wait to buy it." — Shytel
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in 10 colors).
36. A gorgeous cowl-neck satin dress you'll want to pull out for date night, your cousin's wedding, and pretty much any event since you can dress it up with fancy heels or keep it casual with some nice sandals.

28 Co-Stars Who Hated Each Other In Real Life

Workplace tension is something most of us have dealt with. Honestly, I can't think of a single job I've had —except BuzzFeed— where there wasn't at least one person I absolutely couldn't stand. Maybe that says more about me than anything else, but the truth is, we're often forced to work alongside people we don't get along with. And that can be tough—sometimes even anxiety-inducing. At the end of the day, it's all about the check, so it's imperative that we don't get caught up in what we want but rather, what we need collectively. For many thespians in Hollywood, this type of friction can lead to some significant tension that manages to escape the workplace. It's not hard to think about Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, who are currently embroiled in litigation surrounding declarations of sexual harassment and defamation, among other claims. This is perhaps an extreme example, but historically, there have been many moments where co-stars, despite how much chemistry they share on screen, despise each other's guts. Most times, we only find out about it after the fact. Below are 14 instances where Hollywood co-stars who played lovers or friends on-screen disliked each other when the cameras went off. Tension rose on the set of Charlie's Angels between Bill Murray and Lucy Liu, according to an interview Liu gave to the Los Angeles Times. Liu explained that, after reworking a scene with her co-stars at a time when Murray wasn't on set, he returned and apparently took out some of his aggression toward her. "As we're doing the scene, Bill starts to sort of hurl insults, and I won't get into the specifics, but it kept going on and on," she said. "I was, like, 'Wow, he seems like he's looking straight at me.' I couldn't believe that [the comments] could be towards me, because what do I have to do with anything majorly important at that time? I literally do the look around my shoulder thing, like, who is he talking to behind me? I say, 'I'm so sorry. Are you talking to me?' And clearly, he was, because then it started to become a one-on-one communication."Despite having "the least amount of privilege in terms of creatively participating," Liu said she stood her ground against Murray. The box office success of Magic Mike aside, Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer found themselves butting heads off-set, which ultimately led to Pettyfer's non-appearance in Magic Mike XXL. Perhaps one of the most interesting conflicts on a movie set belongs to Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. In a VH1 interview, The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes revealed in 2014 that the two had extreme tension with one another when they started filming the 2004 movie. "Ryan came to me, and there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, 'Nick come here.' He's doing a scene with Rachel, and he says, 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off-camera with me?'' Cassavetes recalled. ''I said, 'What?' He says, 'I can't. I can't do it with her. I'm just not getting anything from this.'' Despite this, the two ended up developing a strong chemistry with each other and dated from 2005-2007. Julia Roberts' feud with Nick Nolte on the set of I Love Trouble seemingly impacted how the film was received by critics. According to an interview she gave the New York Times in the 90s, she revealed how the two had shared blame for some of their on-set troubles. "From the moment I met him we sort of gave each other a hard time, and naturally we get on each other's nerves,' Roberts revealed after she was asked about the reputation Nolte developed for being crude on set. '[While he can be] completely charming and very nice, he's also completely disgusting. He's going to hate me for saying this, but he seems to go out of his way to repel people. He's a kick." During a 2022 interview, Nolte acknowledged his own shortcomings in their reaction. "I mean, it was absurd what we went through. It was partly my fault and a little bit of hers. Julia got married at the beginning of that film, and it was one of those things where I just approached it all wrong.' Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze's chemistry was unmatched in Dirty Dancing. However, their previous encounters on the set of Red Dawn created friction that extended to their on-set attitudes with each other. Grey explained that Swayze often pulled juvenile pranks that rubbed her the wrong way, though she revealed he later tearfully apologized. Then, when they filmed Dirty Dancing, Swayze became frustrated with what he deemed a lack of professionalism, which actually helped make the movie what it was. "When we're doing those dance sequences, and everything, and she's crying, and she's giggling, those moments really work because they're real. They just took pieces of Patrick and Jennifer, working together as attempting to be a dance team, and my frustration. My real frustration. I'm trying to keep this girl serious. I'm trying to keep her from crying, trying to keep her focused, to get past her fear and her ego," he said. However, it seems as though the two ultimately shared an appreciation for one another, their skills, and what they brought to the table. It Ends With Us is probably the best example of on-set feuds between two on-screen lovers. Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, the film's director and her co-star, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign during production. In response, Baldoni countersued and denied the allegations. His countersuit targeted Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist for $400M for defamation, civil extortion, and attempting to take over the film's creative direction, per CBS. On-screen besties Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall apparently weren't quite close on the set of Sex And The City. Though there were reports that the two had their issues, Cattrall made her feelings about Parker clear after the latter expressed condolences for the loss of the former's brother. "I don't need your love and support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker," she wrote on Instagram. "My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?' Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona," she added in the post. Tyrese Gibson, while an eccentric in his own right, has expressed immense disdain for James Franco in the past (although it feels like more of a collective feeling these days). On the set of Annapolis, there was a lot of tension, largely because of Franco's acting methods during the fight scenes, which apparently resulted in actual physical contact. 'I never want to work with him again, and I'm sure he feels the same way. It felt very personal. It was f**ked-up," Gibson stated. Meanwhile, Franco's explained that he's tried to bury the hatchet, though acknowledged that he probably wasn't the easiest to work with either. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his feud with Vin Diesel have become part of the Fast & Furious franchise lore. It began when Diesel talked about the "tough love" he showed Johnson in an attempt to improve his acting chops, leading to on-set tension. Johnson also responded on Instagram, calling his co-star "chicken sh*t" and "candy a**." However, the two have seemingly ended their beef as Diesel shared a photo of the two on Instagram with the caption reading, "All love... Always..." Despite co-starring together on one of the most celebrated series on television, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson had a touch of tension on the set of The X-Files. Though it was primarily rumors that the two had issues with each other, they've both separately acknowledged a "strained" relationship, largely due to lengthy work hours. 'I mean, yes, there were definitely periods when we hated each other," she told the Guardian when asked about rumors of tension on set. 'Hate is too strong a word. We didn't talk for long periods of time. It was intense, and we were both pains in the arse for the other at various times.' She noted that the two have a much healthier relationship these days. "But we are closer today than we ever have been." Outside of Chris Rock, there are very few people that Will Smith has engaged in public feuds with. However, when it came to Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Viv in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the on-set tension led to her being replaced entirely. During the 2020 Fresh Prince reunion, Smith and Hubert hashed out their differences with Will admitting that he made the set difficult for Janet. "You took all that away from me with your words," Hubert told Smith. "Words can kill. I lost everything. Reputation. Everything, everything. I understand you were able to move forward. You know those words — calling a Black woman 'difficult' in Hollywood is the kiss of death. It's hard enough being a dark-skinned Black woman in this business. I felt it was necessary for us to finally move forward. And I'm sorry I have blasted you to pieces." Hollywood harbors plenty of creeps that are only now getting exposed. But in the case of Marlon Brando, who is still considered one of the greatest actors of all time, his on-set behavior earned him a horrible reputation, especially due to the fallouts with close collaborators, acquaintances, and co-stars. Sophie Loren revealed in her 1963 memoir how inappropriate Brando was on the set of A Countess from Hong Kong. "All of a sudden, he put his hands on me. I turned in all tranquillity and blew in his face, like a cat stroked the wrong way and said, 'Don't you ever dare to do that again. Never again!'' she said. "As I pulverised him with my eyes he seemed small, defenceless, almost a victim of his own notoriety. He never did it again, but it was very difficult working with him after that.' Issues between William Shatner and George Takei began bubbling in the public eye after Takei revealed just how difficult Shatner was to work with. "It's difficult working with someone who is not a team player. The rest of the cast all understand what makes a scene work—it's everybody contributing to it,' Takei said about Shatner in 2015. 'But Bill is a wonderful actor, and he knows it, and he likes to have the camera on him all the time.' Years later, Shatner responded. "George has never stopped blackening my name. These people are bitter and embittered. I have run out of patience with them. Why give credence to people consumed by envy and hate?" he said. The feud between Sacha Baron Cohen and Rebel Wilson began on the set of The Brothers Grimsby, where Wilson alleged that Cohen asked her to engage in unscripted, lewd acts for the film. Before she released her memoir, Rebel Rising, which included a chapter dedicated to the "a*sholes" she worked with in Hollywood, specifically Cohen, who allegedly got a team of lawyers and PR crisis managers to suppress her memoir. Cohen's rep offered The Independent a statement regarding the claims. 'While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby," it read.
