Transform Your Morning Routine With These 50 Products
A set of Snug Plugs if your hair dryer plug keeps falling out of the bathroom outlet and you're starting to wonder if you need to get a pro involved. These little contraptions make a snug fit between outlets and plugs to keep 'em where you want.
A WEN blower brush styling tool that'll make giving yourself a blowout suuuuuuper easy. It has become my absolute favorite tool for blowing out my naturally curly hair and have tried nearly every dryer brush on the market. I even pack it for vacation!
A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows I own and adore to the point where I replaced the pillows I keep at my parents' with them, too! Yes, they're utter perfection and help me straight-up sleep better. Talk about starting your morning right.
Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque will help you get a little more excited to put on some makeup in the morn. It goes on like a cool lip stain and then peels off to reveal gorgeous, long-lasting color.
Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Primer can keep that complicated smoky eye look you copied from an MUA's TikTok intact long into the night. Because the last thing you want is to look back at professional photographer's pics from your cousin's wedding and see your eye makeup a mess. (Though we can't say the same for your dancefloor moves.)
And Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Face Primer (with SPF 30) has reviewers gushing over it for plenty of good reasons. They say it absorbed well, foundation glided over it, and it made their full face stand up to summer heat! Plus, it comes in four problem-solving formulas.
A horizontal water bottle organizer that'll keep those too-tall and too–top heavy water bottles *right* where you want them. So it'll be much easier to find your bottle-of-the-day in a flash.
And a *universal* drink handle you can slip onto whatever water bottle happens to be clean this morn so you don't have to spend the extra few minutes washing the Stanley Cup with the handle. (FYI, it'll also fit around soda cans and beer bottles!)
Crave Naturals Detangling brush will glide through your hair without tugging or ripping out your strands. Time-sucking tangles, meet your match.
A "Magic Tap" automatic drink dispenser so kids can help themselves to some OJ without them trying to pull the whole container out of the fridge (which has def spelled disaster in the past). It's battery-operated and spillproof!
Plus, a cereal dispenser because you sorta miss the similar cereal situation from your college dining hall (or maybe that's just me?) and when you leave cereal in the boxes they tend to topple over and make a mess. Plus with this, your breakfast will stay fresher.
A pair of rustproof shower caddy bathroom shelves to help your (growing) collection of hair masks stay right where you need them. (Each has super strong adhesive and can hold up to 15 pounds!)
A faucet extender so the smallest members of your household will finally be able to wash their hands without a major lift while you're brushing your teeth.
A rapid cold brew maker to make 40 ounces of the good stuff in under nine minutes, which IMO is far better than having to wait around for cold brew in the fridge.
A Mr. Coffee 4-in-1 coffee maker with a built-in milk frother that'll brew up a single serving of ice coffee, hot coffee, and an iced or hot latte. So you've got options for a pretty small footprint on your kitchen counter. (I own this machine and can't say enough great things about it.)
Plus, a sliding tray for your coffee maker so you can easily move the essential (but surprisingly heavy) appliance back and forth from underneath your cabinets.
A self-stirring mug if you'd rather die than take your coffee black, but hate how long it takes your creamer and sugar to actually blend.
A cubby shoe organizer bench to not only help designate a mudroom area for your family but also help keep it tidy when everyone's looking for their shoes in the morning.
Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers in case you wake up in the morn and are greeted by a painful pimple. This can help deter you from picking at it throughout the day.
A pair of high-waisted running shorts in a lightweight, quick-dry material that might just get you pumped to get up and out of the bed to squeeze in a workout before clocking in for work.
A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen you can simply brush on instead of dealing with 30-minute whitening strips.
The Esarora ice roller to keep in the freezer and roll all over your beautiful visage while your coffee drip drip drips. I have a super similar roller and do just that, which always helps cut down on any under-eye puffinesses and just gives me a delicious, but abrupt, wakeup call.
A sleek mirrored digital alarm clock with USB ports so you won't be tempted to check the time on your phone and, therefore, fall into an hours-long TikTok dive.
Or if you're someone who has trouble waking up, a sunrise alarm clock can help you "rise with the sun" even if you're, technically, not.
A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced for tired parents who could use the help. This mixes baby formula to the correct temp and consistency, so you don't have to.
A rotating Beachwaver curling iron will take a lot of the actual work out of curling your hair. I can curl my hair with a regular curling iron with my eyes closed but I SWEAR by this thing.
A rectangular lazy Susan made to hold more than the traditional round ones. Here's to grabbing the oat milk from the back of the fridge without having to remove everything from the shelf that just so happens to be in front of said oat milk.
A rotating whisk blender can help you quickly beat eggs when making scrambled eggs for an army. BTW, I take mine low and slow.
A dishwasher magnet so everyone in the house is on the same page about whether it's OK to drink from a coffee mug that's in the dishwasher without having to grill everyone.
A rapid egg cooker to get your favorite breakfast or salad topping *just* how you like it, rather than tossing improperly cooked eggs (for the millionth time).
A personal blender that'll make whipping up a drinkable breakfast that much easier. No more losing tasty gloops of smoothie when you transfer from your regular-sized blender to a drinking vessel.
An egg bite maker in case these savory lil' bites are your fave breakfast but you tire of giving Starbucks and Costco all your money by them. And with this, you can customize them to your liking!
A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you can program so the coffee machine cuts on each before you can zombie-walk to the kitchen. It also works with Alexa and Google Home!
A handy pancake batter dispenser and mixer to make family breakfast just a wee bit quicker. In the morning, every minute counts!
A two-slice touchscreen toaster that won't cost you three figures like other fancy toasters. And, you can even let the toaster know which of seven toastiness levels you prefer, along with which kind of breakfast carb you're heating.
A large capacity rotating makeup organizer could make you realize that, uh, you don't need to drop by Sephora tomorrow afternoon after all. You have become the Sephora.
An expandable under-sink kit will fit around awkward pipes in the bathroom while giving some sturdy ground to those bottles of cleaner and rolls of toilet paper. No more cracking the bathroom door to yell out for another roll of TP!
An over-the-door cabinet organizer so you won't have to stare at a pile of hairstyling tools every time you go to brush your teeth. You'll be locating your hair dryer in record time!
A shower curtain liner with mesh storage pockets I love and will buy for as long as it's a thing I can buy. Maybe you'll feel the same way too once you realize you can stash SO MANY things in it. Plus! The mesh pockets can help you easily eye what you need atm.
And double shower curtain hooks for the simplest of switches to make you wonder how the heck you weren't using these before! Now you can throw back that shower curtain in the morning with zero snags.
An OG hanging shoe organizer to file away everything from cleaning supplies to toiletries to scarves to leggings to actual shoes. An oldie but goodie 'til the end of time! I have one in my coat closet with umbrellas, packing tape, sunscreen, and a number of random things I need to grab before I head out the door.
A portable rain hood you can keep in your bag or car for those days when it MIGHT rain but you neither trust the forecast nor want to plan your outfit around your own rain coat.
A folding sink topper to give you an ample surface when there's seemingly no room for all your getting-ready essentials.
A do-it-all toothbrush holder and dispenser might make it feel like you and your outside bones are living in the year 3024.
An adjustable shower curtain that'll help buy you some more room so you don't feel like your shower curtain is trying to feel you up when washing shampoo suds out of your hair.
Some simple little towel clips can keep dishcloths and towels right where you want and need them instead of slipping off the faucet or oven door handle onto the floor.
A dual-spray showerhead will dramatically transform your daily regimen so you can get the spray WHERE you need it. Don't do the math on how old your showerhead is. We know it can legally drink.
A set of toss-and-chop salad tongs, or "salad scissors," that'll help break your $16-salad habit from that place down the street. This chopping tool (that costs less than two of those salads, btw) will bring a little bit of action to food-prep while helping convince yourself that your homemade salads are delish.
Essence's Lash Princess mascara makes for a super dramatic before and after with a few mere swipes.
La Pure Waterproof Eyeliner Stamp I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend it to you because practicing a cat-eye flick is HARD.

Who is Love Island's Emily? A reminder of her age, background and more as she and Toni come to blows
If you're anything like us, you've been sitting front and centre for all things Love Island this summer. The reality show has hit our screens once again, pulling us into another dimension of fake tan, feuds and frantic recouplings, and we can't believe we went a whole year without it! This season has seen plenty of romantic drama, but a fair share of Islander fallings out to boot. Top of mind? The spat which, seemingly, appeared from nowhere, between Toni Laites and bombshell Emily Moran. As we puzzle over what happened, here's a lil reminder as to who Emily is and what went down... She is 24 years old. Emily appears to have been born on 4 May, 2001, making her a Taurus. This is an earth sign which is known to be reliable, sensible, sensual, and have a taste for the finer things. She is an insurance development executive. Emily is Welsh and hails from Aberdare, which also happens to be the home of Love Island 2024's Nicole Samuel. Small world, huh? Before Love Island, Emily was living in Sydney, Australia. Shortly after Emily went on the villa, her TikTok presence was boosted by a video of her friend's dad reacting in live time to her appearing in the villa as a bombshell. His flabbergasted response is one for the ages. Speaking to producers, Emily had a pretty clear idea of her type, saying: "Someone with emotional intelligence for one. Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps!" She's also get a clear picture on this one, so stay away if you don't mind your Ps and Qs. "Bad manners, being rude, not saying please and thank you. I'd rather someone be overly polite than not say it at all," she said. Want to learn more about Emily? Give her a follow on IG at the handle @emilyxmorann. Expect beach pics and a blowout that will give you unimaginable hair envy. Emily does indeed have TikTok, and can be found over on the clock app at @emillymorann. Her posts have major clean girl energy and also include dumps from her life in Australia. Conor Phillips. Emily entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Yasmin and Malisha towards the end of the first week. The trio were announced on 13 June and appeared during boys' night, when the male Islanders were discussing their early connections in the villa. Emily opted to take Conor, who was coupled up with Toni, for a date. Conor ended things with Toni to pursue his connection with Emily and Emily and Conor made it offish at the next recoupling. However, it's not been all smooth sailing for Emily. Toni appeared to take a dislike to her in an episode aired on 20 June, sarcastically calling her "Little Miss Sunshine" and speaking poorly of her with Shakira. Meg later pulled Emily to the side to tell her what Toni had been saying about her. Things escalated after Emily pulled Toni for a chat to see if she would want to open up about what she had been saying about her behind her back. Toni said "I've been very bothered by you," and went onto explain she was annoyed about Emily's reaction to the recoupling in which Toni and Malisha were left single. In response, Emily was confused, and the discussion got more heated. Toni told Emily to, "get the f**k out of my face" and Emily said of Toni to the wider group, "she's f**king nuts." Emily also asked if the situation had to do with Toni's prior involvement with Conor, who she Emily is currently in a couple with, but Toni denied this. We'll see how this one develops as the season progresses...

Nightlife-hating Gen Z now planning morning raves with espresso shots — and no tequila
From the moment you turn 18, your one desire is supposed to be going out and partying. Getting ready to go out with your friends, spending a day's wages on vodka, lemon, lime and bitters, and dancing to your heart's content until it's time to get the last train home is a fond – if distorted – memory for those who've left that phase of their lives in the past. But, it seems Gen Z-ers have entered their 'grandma' phase a little early, swapping late nights for early mornings and alcohol for coffee in a shocking twist that's left millennials calling them (i.e. us) boring. Morning raves, it's a thing! If you haven't seen the reports of a decline in alcohol consumption among Gen Z-ers, you may have noticed an increase in non-alcoholic drinks at your local bottlo or pub. Gen Z is now hosting raves in the early hours of the morning. TikTok/@nikitadunne6 There's also been a steady decrease in the number of music festivals happening, with some of the most iconic events, like Splendour in the Grass, Groovin the Moo and Spilt Milk cancelling in recent years due to low ticket sales, or an inability to score those big acts on an already stretched budget. Blame it on the pandemic or the cost of living crisis. Regardless, it's become very clear – Gen Z just doesn't want to party. Well, unless it's in the morning, apparently. The popularity of morning raves is officially on the rise – fueled by coffee and matcha instead of Cruisers and tequila shots. Morning raves are pretty much exactly what you're probably picturing them to be. You can go and get your morning coffee, except there will also be a DJ. Think, a louder and, in my opinion, way more fun, version of the morning run club or swim at the beach that every Sydneysider seems to be into these days. These morning raves are being held all over the world, and are now taking Australia by storm. Caffeine Club is one company running morning raves across Queensland, with events starting from 7am. Mix and Matcha is another group holding events out of cafes in Melbourne. Is it cool, or a total snoozefest? All the fun without the hangover sounds like a solid day out to me. And, it seems young people agree, with events selling out and garnering rave reviews. 'Hahah this is iconicccc!!' said one commenter on TikTok. 'Like having your morning dance party with a bunch of other crazy humans. Keep it uppp guys!' 'Hahah this is iconicccc!!' said one commenter on TikTok. TikTok/@nikitadunne6 'This is sick!!!!' said another. 'This is my kind of club!' a third agreed. But, it's clear not everyone agrees. One Caffeine Club video went viral earlier this year, and garnered a few millennial hate comments. 'And the crowd goes mild,' one person said. 'Nice, but this is not a rave,' said another.

You Need Comfy Shoes If You're Going On A Trip, So Here Are 28 Pairs
A handmade pair of closed-toe huarache platform sandals if you need some extra height (those flowy pants you just bought are a little on the long side), but also refuse to commit to walking around in heels all day. These beauts are the perfect compromise! A pair of Birkenstocks, aka the go-to summer vacation sandal. Reviewers rave about their signature cork footbed and for good reason — it molds to the foot for unrivaled comfort and support. A pair of Dr. Scholl's kicks so you can ditch the laces while still enjoying the benefits of supportive and comfy sneakers. Did I mention these have memory foam cushioning? Because they do, and you will love it. A classic pair of ballet flats since these darling little shoes fold up nice and compact for easy packing — and good thing, too, because you've only got about an inch of space left in your suitcase! Or, these memory foam-cushioned knit flats that are just as convenient (and comfy!) but offer a more elevated look with their textured design. Promising reviews: "These shoes are so comfortable. I used them on a trip where I did a lot of walking, and there was no need to break them in, and I had no blisters. I have not had to clean them yet, so don't know how they will wash up." —Charlotte"I wore these, new, on a recent trip and couldn't have been more pleased with the fit and comfort. Added bonus, you can toss them in the wash and they come out great!" —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in sizes 5–11, wide sizes, and in five colors). A gorgeous leather slide because it'll take you about .0002 seconds to throw them on and complete the day's ~lewk.~ There's not a second to be wasted when you're on vacation, right?! A cute pair of Toms block heels to wear at brunch, art galleries, high tea, happy hour, you name it! You deserve to ~treat yoself~ on vacation and these are shoes you'll want for all those fun, splurge-y activities. A chunky pair of Fila platform sneakers that just might be the ultimate travel hack. A comfy, supportive sneaker that also gives you a boost so you can see above the crowd and actually watch the busker's performance? Genius! A flexible pair of water shoes if your itinerary's got some water-based activities. Don't let soggy feet ruin the day's fun. Wear these, and thank me later. A cute and casual Sperry sneaker you can wear with just about anything and everything in your suitcase. Plus, they come with a removable footbed for added arch support. A pair of braided chunky heels to slip on whenever you need a chic little going-out shoe, like when you're checking out that cool speakeasy you saw on TikTok. According to reviewers, these are actually comfy enough to wear all night long, too! Keen rose sandals that I just adore and almost always bring on my warm-weather trips. They look so darn cute, are unbelievably comfy, and best of all, can handle miles and miles of walking (even if I decide to stroll through the waves a bit). I've brought these on hiking/camping trips, but also on city vacations, too. I love knowing I can tackle any sort of terrain I might stumble upon in my adventures, even though they don't really look like your typical "hiking sandals."Promising review: "I bought these sandals about a month before I went on vacation. I walked around in them all day in very hot temperatures (38–40 degrees Celsius) with my feet sweating and swelling, and did not get any blisters or hot spots. I thought for sure they would start to smell, but they didn't! I read reviews of others not liking the ankle strap not being adjustable, but I did not have any issues. I definitely would not go hiking in these sandals, but they are great for everyday casual wear and are super cute. I love the wide-toe box for my problem feet. I will definitely be buying more pairs in different colors. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever bought! I did have some rubbing on my big toe from the toe box material, but I got used to it quickly with no issues." —Ldc8Get them from Keen for $120 (available in sizes 5–12 and six colors — not all styles available in all sizes). A lightweight mesh sneaker if you (or your S.O.) want to look ~sharp~ without having to sweat away in stiff, uncomfy dress shoes. In the words of one reviewer, they're "absurdly comfortably" while offering a business-casual kinda vibe. My boyfriend has these in black, and the first thing he commented on was how light and breathable they are. He's definitely a comfort first, style second kind of person, but he doesn't have to compromise anymore, thanks to these. They're pretty much his new go-to shoe when we're heading downtown or out on a date (and he always looks so good in them). Promising review: "I love them, I originally bought a pair for a vacation where I needed something business casual and comfortable for walking… I wore them on my first day back to the office (left my $750 pair of Ferragamo's at the office). I intended to throw on the expensive pair… I got more compliments on these than I have for a high-end shoe + they're way more comfortable!" —Bobby DGet them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in men's sizes 6.5–14 and 13 colors) A beautiful pair of Greek gladiator-inspired sandals so you can feel like a real Mediterranean local as you navigate the streets and local seaside markets. Even if you're not headed to Greece, you'll still feel like a goddess wearing these. A pair of Swedish wooden clogs, just in case you're worried you lack the... uhhh... coordination for navigating cobblestone and brick streets in heels. Have no fear — these shoes are extra sturdy and even have a heel strap for added reinforcement. No wobbling here! A pair of Crocs sandals featuring the same comfort and convenience the brand is known for, only a more aesthetic design. Whether you're a diehard Crocs lover or new to the cult, you're gonna want these cuties in your collection. A pair of quilted sneakers featuring memory foam insoles beneath that stylish exterior, because you deserve to look and feel like a million bucks when you're out and about globe-trotting. Psst! Some reviewers say these shoes run big, and recommend ordering a size down. Promising review: "I bought these shoes for my trip to the UK in September. They proved to be some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. We toured English stately homes and gardens and walked everywhere we went, and these shoes gave me great support and comfort. I wore them on the plane and in the airports, and they stood the test. Love these shoes, and I have put them aside to wear for my next UK trip!" —Louisa CornellGet them from Amazon for $31.19+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and eight colors — not all colors available in all sizes). A pair of cushioned slides for an easy-on, breathable shoe that's pretty darn supportive. Ideal for TSA, but more importantly, for heading to the pool (or beach) and back a bajillion times. Promising review: "These shoes are amazing. I have plantar fasciitis, and by the end of the day, my feet are in a lot of pain. I can now stand and walk with no pain wearing these shoes. They appear to be cheap, but whatever material these are made of is more comfortable than Crocs! I bought the grey and loved them, so I bought another pair in brown. I'm going to take them with me on vacation because I know I can walk long distances with them. My feet do not sweat in them either!" —GGet them from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in sizes 5.5–17W, 4–16M, and 30 colors). A waterproof sneaker so you can tackle all that sightseeing, regardless of the weather forecast. These will keep your feet dry, and unlike typical rain boots, are actually comfy enough for endless walking! Promising review: "Probably the best item I've ever ordered from Amazon. I wanted to look stylish, and rain boots would have looked silly. Found these all rubber sneaker/rain shoes, and man! I'm glad I got these. Wore them to Europe during quite a bit of rain. Walked a lot and they were surprisingly very comfortable, too." —Its meGet them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11, in four colors in the high-top style, and in five other styles). Braided Plaka sandals that combine functionality with a breezy boho aesthetic, aka the perfect combo for oceanside strolls. The straps fit snugly around the foot without rubbing or pinching while the rubber soles are durable enough for sand, beach rocks, and other rough terrain. The famous Allbirds runner — uber soft and supportive everyday sneakers made from lightweight and breathable eucalyptus fibers, which means they're 100% up to the task of keeping you cool and comfy as you explore the world. Promising review: "Love these shoes!! So comfortable and look great. Wore them as all-day shoes at Disneyland, no blisters or other issues. I am already looking at other pairs to buy. Also great for traveling, extremely lightweight." —Michaela them from Allbirds for $98 (available in sizes 5–11W, 8–14M, and 21 colors). Elastic-strap sandals since the twisted strap is not only super cute but also super stretchy, which means the sandal conforms perfectly to your foot for a secure, comfy fit. A pair of Cole Haan leather sneakers because they're a sleek, lightweight shoe that can be dressed up or down. Pretty much a no-brainer for vacation. Promising review: "This is the third pair I have bought for my husband (navy, tan, and black). We travel a lot and he always takes a pair for daily wear and loads of walking. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever had, and frankly, they are so great looking, you can wear them anywhere. In Europe, many men wear shoes of this style with their suits, and they look so sharp. These are so versatile, go with anything, and have a super-high comfort level. Catch them when they are on special!" —vieuxcarreGet them from Amazon for $74.20+ (available in men's sizes 7–13, two widths, and in 18 styles). A super cute strappy sandal for something that's stylish *and* supportive — both non negotiable for your big summer trip. These have a thick, cushioned footbed that's similar to Birks, only much cheaper. A pair of platform, lace-up Oxfords so you can trick all the locals into thinking you're actually overseas for an important academic conference... are you a Rhodes scholar or genius mathematician? They'll never know! A pair of combat boots if your personal style is best described as pop-punk. These are just the edgy-chic traveling companion you've been waiting for. Promising review: "I am in love with these boots! First, they are great-looking. I've worn them 10 times in the past two and a half weeks and received compliments five times. They look amazing with leggings, maxi dresses, and short skirts. The ankle doesn't gap and is adjustable with laces, but they actually open by way of a zipper on the inside ankle. So, once you get them fitted to your arch and ankle, putting them on and taking them off is easy. I know as I had to remove them for TSA at two airports. I've worn them in rain, slushy snow, sub-freezing temps, and 70-degree weather. So far, with a wipe of a cloth, they still look brand new. No scuffs and no cracks. Yesterday, I took them off after 31 hours of travel, involving a number of airports and lots of walking, and they still felt good." —AliceGet them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and in four colors). Or Dr. Marten gladiator sandals so you can rock those spunky pop-punk vibes without your feet overheating. These are definitely the summertime equivalent of your fave combat boots, offering a similar aesthetic in a more breathable and lighter open-foot design. A classic pair of slip-on sneaks made from a breathable and stretchy canvas material, which means your feet will sweat less and probably won't rub too much either... the two things that tend to cause blisters.
