These universally flattering sunglasses are $12 for Prime Day
These sunglasses are everywhere. We've spotted them on Love Island, on influencers, and all over New York City. What makes them so popular is their unanimously flattering shape and gold edges that make them look like they cost way more than they do.
It's not easy to find glasses that look good on a round face. Most lenses are too wide, too square, or too oversized. But these, since they're ovals, are the perfect shape. I highly recommend them to my fellow Asian women, since something about these sunglasses seems to flatter our high cheekbones and softer facial contours. The Sojos Retro Oval sunglasses aren't just flattering on round faces. I've passed these around to my friends, and they've all experienced the magic of the sisterhood of the travelling sunglasses.Just look at the models above and their different face shapes. I don't quite know what the trick is, but these look good on everyone. Watching an episode of Love Island have become a kind of "I Spy" game for me. I've seen these all over the show. On Love Island UK this season, I once saw three people wearing them concurrently. They're also all over TikTok and Instagram, with fashion influencers in every space touting the powers of these $12 sunglasses.
These statement earrings are surprisingly light on the lobes and have a mixed metal doorknocker design.
This raffia tote makes a great beach bag or summer purse. It's also small enough that you can roll it up and put in in your suitcase.
A white maxi skirt and a crop top is the summer uniform of 2025. This skirt is an affordable way to get in on the trend.
This handbag with 3D florals will absolutely make an outfit stand out. Pair it with a white dress and let your purse do the talking.
Not a fan of open-toed shoes, but still want your feet to breathe? Try these Mary Janes with a woven faux leather upper.

Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 reviewers love so much as a true medium-coverage dewy tint that a lot of them have replaced their foundation with it entirely.

Did you just set yourself up for 30 minutes of uninterrupted time? Promising review: "Sticky level is about equal with painter's tape, so there's no worry about restricting where to use it.

A TikTok-famous grape cutter that will seriously ~cut~ down on your prep time — and your anxiety — when you're feeding your littles. It can also be used on tomatoes!

Get it from H&M for $24.99 (also available in a smaller size). A snack bag with a built-in ice pack so you can ensure their food stays nice and cool without adding extra bulk to the backpack. We have these and use them all the time, even on the weekend for day trips! Promising review: "10/10 recommend! I put yogurt, fruit, apple sauce, and whatever else I want. I did a five-hour test at home before I sent it with the kids to school, and it passed my five-hour test. At the five-hour mark, everything was still refrigerator-cold! Give it a try, you won't regret it." —Kim StewartGet it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in eight patterns). A pack of sink extenders, which will save your back each time you need to lift your kiddo to wash their hands. And let's be real, that's a during cold season! A truly brilliant cup catcher that attaches right to a high chair, car seat, or stroller, because playing a game of throw-it-down-and-pick-it-up with a baby isn't quite as charming when you also have to chase around a toddler. A space-saving bottle drying rack to help you maintain some order in your kitchen — and in your life. It will grow with your family as you go from bottles to sippy cups (and then more bottles and more sippy cups!) and then water bottles. Psst... it's also helpful for drying glassware. Promising review: "I bought this product a month ago, and it does not disappoint me. This stuff is great. It works for small spaces. It looks more organized, and it doesn't get in my way when I'm working in the kitchen. I could fit five Dr. Brown's bottles with all their pieces. And it's durable. It looks like it's going to last a long time for me. I recommend it. It's a little more expensive than other bottle drying racks, but I would get this one." —JariGet it from Amazon for $15.93. A portable white-noise sound machine and night-light for those moments when you're out and about — like, for example, when you're getting coffee with a friend and you DESPERATELY need to talk to another grown-up.

A kid-friendly Sonicare electric toothbrush with a timer (and a very motivating app!) so that when you ask if they've brushed their teeth, you can know for sure that those pearly whites got a proper scrubbing. Promising review: "Not only do my 7-year-old's teeth look so much cleaner than they did when he was brushing them without an electric toothbrush, but he really looks forward to brushing and is motivated to brush twice a day!!! As a mom, this is very exciting. No more excuses from him since he uses the toothbrush app, gets to brush along with his fuzzy, cute friend, and earns virtual prizes. Wow! I do need to give him an extra minute before school and bed to brush along with his app, but it is more than worth it!!! Thank you!" —kristenGet it from Amazon for $29.96+ (available in four designs). A universal stroller caddy because your stroller is basically an extension of your home, and it's going to have to hold a LOT of stuff. Bonus: This caddy has two insulated beverage holders — one for your caffeine (or grown-up juice) and the other for your baby's bottle. And then, when it's time, a baby's bottle and a toddler's sippy cup. Promising review: "Versatile and durable stroller organizer that doesn't add too much weight to the back end of your stroller. It is made of quality materials and doesn't budge when strapped on. It doesn't get in the way of folding my stroller, either. The insulated drink pockets are a nice touch, and I appreciate that the center console is large enough for my phone." —Kierra|Practically PurchasedGet it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in eight colors). A colorful timer that will give everyone a visual reminder of how much (or how little!) time they have to get those teeth brushed and shoes on. Start using this, and hopefully, everything will be sunshine and rainbows! Promising review: "My toddler struggled with transitions from one activity to another, so we got this little timer. She loves it because it's cute, and now we transition easily. When she hears the beep, she says, 'That's the timer,' and moves on from what she's doing. I'm honestly amazed at how well it works. It's small but mighty and easy to carry around the house with us!" —Kimberly SGet it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in five colors). A bottle of this fantastic conditioning detangler from the Honest Company, so doing hair isn't the thing that puts a tangle in your morning routine. I love the way it smells, and it makes brushing my daughter's long hair nice and easy! Promising review: "This stuff is great. I wish it came in a much bigger bottle because it works so well on my daughter's super-fine hair. It has a nice, light scent, doesn't leave residue on her hair, and makes getting her hair ready for school much less of a battle." —Jessica it from Amazon for $5.92 (available in three scents). A four-pack of Re-Play divided plates to make feeding your littles even easier. This is the brand my family has used for more than five years, so I can personally speak to their durability, and let me tell the real deal. Promising review: "Just bought another set! I love these plates. I already owned probably about 10 of these and just bought the earthy colored set. These are the best! The ones I've had for YEARS still look new/great! They are not just toddler plates. Even my 6-year-old uses them, and they're still big enough for him. Kids of any age can use these. I can't brag about these plates enough. They are hands down the best." —amberlar96Get a four-pack from Target for $9.99. A mini waffle maker that is not only sweet but — more importantly — will get breakfast on the table very, very quickly. Make a few extras and put them in your kiddo's snack bag for later! Promising review: "The mini size of this waffle maker is what makes it easy to use, store, clean, and create many recipes effortlessly. It's a no-mess waffle maker because all you need to do is pour the batter. Once the maker is ready, you wait until it's done. A crispy/crunchy/munchy treat that's ready to devour. No fuss of too many settings, buttons, or learning whatsoever! This is as easy as it can be. Such a good quality, durable, versatile product at a reasonable price. Worth every penny!" —An average human. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 17 colors and styles). A wooden Melissa & Doug magnetic daily calendar to help you all keep track of what day it is.

An over-the-door weekly clothes organizer so you can avoid the "I have nothing to wear" meltdown 15 minutes before you need to leave to be somewhere. Come to think of it, ordering one for yourself might not be the worst idea... Promising review: "My son started kindergarten, and this is a big help for my husband and me. It's so nice having one less thing to stress about in the morning. It also helps my son to recognize the days of the week and how many days we have left. The sleeves are a good size for smaller clothing, pockets seem pretty durable. I had some issues with the door, which was hanging on closing, but I then moved it. Easy to use and a good value." —DeannaGet it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). A universal weather shield for your stroller for those moments when you HAVE to get outside for a reset ASAP — wind, rain, or shine. Not only will this keep the wind and rain out of your little pumpkin's sweet face, but it also keeps them from touching every single thing in sight. Promising review: "So this product is great for afternoon showers at the theme parks, but recently, with COVID, I have been able to put it to great use when having to be out with my toddler in public. She is protected and not touching everything. I clip a battery-operated fan on her stroller under the plastic for circulation and give her videos for entertainment. Makes grocery shopping for parents much safer and easier!" —traceyGet it from Walmart for $17.18
