30 Easy Tips That'll Make You Feel More Put-Together
Promising review: "After struggling with both falling asleep and waking up for years, my wife and I decided to invest in the Hatch Restore 3. After using it for a couple of weeks now, I can confidently say this device has transformed our sleep routine positively and we wish we would have started using this a lot sooner instead of simply using our iPhones as alarm clocks. Our favorite features are the 'Light Rain' and 'Ocean Waves' settings, which we both love and help us quickly fall asleep. We love the look as it features a sleek, modern design that perfectly matches our bedroom decor. The quality matches the price point as it feels and looks like a premium, high-quality device and has great sound quality. It's very user-friendly and simple to use without the need for a phone, allowing us to manage our sleep routine directly from the device and reduce our screen time right before bed. Another great feature is the sunrise alarm which gradually brightens our room, mimicking a natural sunrise and allowing us to feel more refreshed and less startled." —Ali PGet it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in six colors).

As for your mane, sometimes you just gotta skip the shower to catch some more zzzs. We've all been there, and that's why there's I Dew Care dry shampoo to make the greasy bits go bye-bye and take your hair from oily to fluffy in a jiffy!
Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —TeresaGet it from Amazon for $18.
Grab yourself a cropped tank you can pair with your trousers or just to supplement your perfect travel-capsule wardrobe for all the adventures you've got planned this year.
Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color and as soon as I tried it on I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn't have a built-in bra, but it's lined. You could put on a bra with this if you'd like but there's no need. It's cropped but still long enough that it doesn't roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I'll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it's just that incredible." —DanijtateGet it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 32 colors).

These are genuinely my most FAVORITE electrolyte blends. The flavors are great and don't have that gritty taste other brands have. (They are also available in individual packets for on-the-go convenience!)Promising review: "I've been using Cure hydration for a couple of years now, and I can't recommend them enough! I buy them monthly and love how they keep me and my family hydrated without any added sugar. The flavors are refreshing, and they mix easily in water.

Promising review: "This product is so amazing I bought one for all the people in my family! You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all), and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —KaitlinGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I love this dress! This dress is so easy to throw on and go. It's been a summer of extreme heat in Texas and the material of this dress makes it bearable. So simple to throw on to run to the store or any errands. Much more comfortable than shorts. Plus, you'll look more put together." —MEGet it from Amazon for $33.04+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 24 colors).

Promising review: "So incredibly happy with this. It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick) and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique FrenchGet it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in six shades).

These cable ties are also great for when you're NOT traveling! See below. Promising review: "This is a must for business travelers.

Break large and daunting tasks into smaller bits with a visual timer. That way you can ~see~ just how much you can get done in a quick 15-minute cleaning session. I've used one of these for LITERAL YEARS because it turns out that gamifying my tasks actually works and I get a lot more done and am a lot happier for it. (BRB, gotta set it for ten minutes to empty the dishwasher and reload it again.)
Promising review: "Great little analog timer. It shows graphically how much time is left, and you can choose whether or not it beeps at the end via a button on the back. The timer starts as soon as you move the pointer, and you can time up to an hour. Not a good timer if you're looking for seconds, but I use it for blocks of time, 3 or 5 minutes until I do this, or 15 minutes of that, type of thing. Very pleased with this timer, it has been exactly what my ADD brain needs." —Peter NeevesGet it from Amazon for $16.94+ (available in two colors).
Finally accomplish that perfect TikTok bun with some Goody spin hair pins: One spiral pin does the work of 20 traditional pins. Yep, you read that right. Less sticks in your hair and floating around on your counter? Look how put-together you already are!
Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. With these, I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me... anyone can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.95.
If you love a clean shower but hate to clean your shower, a bottle of Wet & Forget cleaner is the answer. Spray it once a week, skip the rinsing, and bid a not-so-fond farewell to the mold and mildew that tries to take up residence in your self-care haven.
Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves the shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with a squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a long-ish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for a while now and love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie MartinGet it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents).

Glowscreen SPF40 is made with sea lavender, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B5 to give you that glow-from-within sheen while also nourishing your skin and protecting it from the rude sun rays.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles, and it doesn't dull or smudge them, it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it, love it, love it." —KristenBGet it from Amazon for $22+ (available in four shades and three sizes/quantities).

Perfect for a hot day." —JessGet it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors).
Give your future self the gift of a ready-made breakfast or nutritious snack by utilizing a reusable and freezable Stasher bag to store your fave smoothie recipe ingredients. A true grab-'n-go experience for those mornings when you don't have two braincells to rub together.
Promising review: "I've been needing a container to hold my prepped smoothies in the freezer and this is the perfect solution. I avoid plastic, so this is a great substitution.

Happy with this purchase." —Anna Young Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in different colors and sizes). To learn more, check out "12 Ways To Make Healthy Smoothies."
And if even that seems too much for your brain (I GET IT), grab yourself a Dash portable blender and throw whatever goodies you want to blend on the bus, the walk to your car, or the stroll to your WFH space. It's basically an Easy Bake Smoothie Oven.

Highly recommend. You just need to make sure it's clicked together correctly or it'll come undone! Don't worry if it happens to you, though, it's totally fixable. It happened to me I think twice before I got it down. Anyway, if you're looking for a weighted hoop, look no more!" —MollsGet it from Amazon for $39.49.

Get rid of brassiness with internet-famous Fanola purple shampoo, which uses a violet pigment to banish unwanted yellow streaks in your tresses and allows you to go as long as possible between expensive salon visits. (Which also take up precious time, so this really is a lifesaver and a piggy bank saver!)
Use this once a week (for about three minutes) to prevent your hair from turning slightly lavender. Promising review: "Finally! A purple shampoo that actually does something to my brassy hair! I have silver-white hair that is exceptionally hard to maintain due to how easily my hair picks up brassy tones and how stubborn they are to remove. I've tried a ton of other brands, and none of their toning shampoos will do a damn thing to my hair even if I leave them on for an hour. It's nice to not have to schedule a chunk of time to mix a batch of custom toner, painstakingly apply it, and then sit around for an hour while it does its thing. This shampoo actually works really well and can cut a lot of time out of my bi-weekly color maintenance." —AudreyGet it from Amazon for $12.25.
If you *must* wear pants but want them to be chill both fashionably and temperature-wise, give some linen ones a go. They are breathable, comfy, and give you that structured look without strangling your legs. Perfect for throwing in your carry-on if you've got travel days ahead!

Ugh. Save yourself the time and unnecessary frustration by having these clip holders in your fix-it-fast arsenal.
Promising review: "My bra straps spend more time off my shoulders than on — but NOT ANYMORE. I was hoping something like this existed and when I found it, I was so happy.

27 Home Items Amazon Customers Are Loving July 2025
Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending,~ Here are some of the most useful and loved home products on the list this week: A handheld cooling mist fan so you can spritz-spritz that heat to the curb, like it deserves! Because YOU deserve to be calm, COOL, and totally refreshed, no matter what Mr. Sun is up to. Promising review: "This battery-powered handheld spray bottle fan has been an absolute game changer for hot days! I bought it for an outdoor summer event, but now I keep it with me anytime I'm outside for extended periods—especially with a toddler in tow. The fan is surprisingly powerful for its size, and the misting function adds a refreshing burst of coolness that really helps beat the heat. Just fill it with water, press the button, and enjoy the breeze and mist combo. It's especially great for theme parks, beach days, outdoor workouts, or waiting in long lines. The design is lightweight and easy to hold, and the battery life lasts way longer than I expected. Plus, it's sturdy enough to survive being tossed in a bag or dropped a couple of times." —Balanced Behavior MamaPrice: $13.99+ (available in six colors and a 2-pack) A BIG bag of wild bird food so you can fully embrace your birding era and convince more feathered friends that *your* bird feeder is where it's at. Promising review: "The bag is smaller than I thought but weight is weight! My birds LOVE it! I have the Birdfy feeder and get to see them in life action eating the food. I have about 20 birds frequenting my feeder every day. I will be buying again (just know the birds eat the sunflower seeds first)." —Christina CruzPrice: $12.48 A cool-mist humidifier you and your houseplant babies will love because it helps keep everyone happy and hydrated. (Your succulent called: They approve this purchase.) Promising review: "This humidifier is great! We bought 2 of these this past winter when our winter colds and early spring allergies were at their worst. They each work well in the bedroom and in our kitchen and living room. Even helped our dog who had a very dry nose and was really sneezy to feel better quickly. I bought them to replace other brand cool mist humidifiers that didn't last more than a year or 2 and were so difficult to keep clean. The design is such that you can easily clean and dry them in between uses. It's nice that this model is "smart" and we can make adjustments from the app but that was not the reason for purchase. We wanted easy to clean and the ability to easily change out the filter. Happy so far. We have not yet tried using any essential oil in ours but will try that soon." —Amy TPrice: $29.99+ (available in five styles and three colors) An Oxo salad spinner — listen, life is too short to *not* give your veggies and fruits a good wash followed by a mini roller coaster ride. Lots of reviewers came to *this* one after their original spinners broke, and they aren't ever going back! Promising review: "I had a salad spinner that was another brand that just did not hold up. We ordered the Oxo brand because of the reviews and it has been great. Easy to use and spins out the lettuce great. You can also wash fruit and spin it to make them last longer. Overall this is the best salad spinner for the money!" —Bryan L. CappsPrice: $24.99+ (available in four styles) A Zevo flying insect trap because you know what can make your kitchen feel brand new overnight? NO MORE ANNOYING BUGS. I've had one of these in my kitchen for years because — as you can see — fruit flies are the bane of my existence. Super non-gross to change out the sticky pad, and the little buggers are drawn in by the light rather than me having to worry about spraying pesticide in the same place where I make my food. Promising review: " was skeptical, but the Zevo plug-in bug trap completely won me over. We had a sudden wave of fruit flies in the kitchen (classic summer problem), and within 24 hours of plugging this in, we noticed a major difference. After a few days—basically zero bugs. It's totally silent, there's no smell, and it's way more discreet than a fly strip or zapper. The light is soft and not obnoxious, and I love that it catches bugs on a hidden sticky pad facing the wall—no gross visuals. Plus, it feels safer than sprays around pets or food." —Piper $19.97 A mulberry silk pillowcase which can help keep your hair from tangling overnight and that many reviewers swear keeps them much cooler than their nonsilk cases. Promising review: "Rich colors and well-made with excellent invisible zipper. They're cooler than standard pillowcases, and they reduce the amount of tangles caused as you sleep. They wash very well, too!" —AnnieBPrice: $8.86+ (available in four sizes, 24 colors, and packs of two) A Gorilla Grip shower/bathtub mat if you're tired of *not* feeling like you're stepping into a spa experience when it's time to rinse off the day. Promising review: "This is the best bath mat that I've ever had. It has quick and excellent grip, excellent quality material. I love the look and the color. I'm so glad that I purchased this one." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $24.99+ (available in 20 colors and in packs of two) An oscillating floor fan because when the summer heat gets too intense, every bit of breeze helps. Promising review: "Love this fan because of the simplicity and classic rotating design. When I initially turned it on, I was worried it was too loud, but I have since grown really attached to the sound. It provides a white noise background so that there isn't just piercing silence, especially useful for falling asleep. It blows a lot of air as well, enough for even a living room, although I use it in my office and bedroom. I pretty much keep this thing on all hours of the day since I bought it." —EYEBYEPrice: $44.99 A Jackery Explorer portable power station strong enough to power several appliances, including AC units and fridges. Whether you're camping, glamping, or just trying to make it through the next random power outage (🙋🏻♀️), this lil' tough guy has got your back! Promising review: "I have several Jackery products, and this one is my newest. I had a chance to use it camping, where it powered my portable fridge and diesel heater, and it worked really well. I recently used it during a random power outage to keep my home fridge running for four hours (when the power came back on). After nearly four hours, the unit still had 80% power remaining. It should be noted that Jackery changed the charging port design slightly from the last generation of solar generators, and my older solar saga 100-watt panels would not pair with the unit to charge it. Really happy with the newer tech in the unit and its functionality. For its capabilities, it's not too heavy and packs easily into my vehicle without taking up needed space. Will be purchasing more Jackery equipment in the future." —Jeff $799+ (available in two sizes) And a portable neck fan for those many, many outdoor adventures you'll have this summer, where a floor fan can't lend you a hand. (Er, neck?) Promising reviews: "This neck fan is amazing! It's so light you won't even know you are wearing it. It comes with chargers, and a charge will last all day! It has the speeds, and the air is ice cold, which is amazing and relieves the heat! The price of this fan is better than most! The air circulates down your neck, making it a comfortable breeze." —ShannanPrice: $26.99+ (available in eight colors) A set of slim velvet hangers to help free up some room in overcrowded closets if you're currently using those thick wooden or plastic hangers. Bonus: These also prevent clothes from slipping off onto the floor! Promising review: "These hangers have a thin design, meaning you can fit more clothing into your closet. They are nonslip.

I will often have wet towels or clothes on the top of them to dry before placing them in and it stays upright under their weight. They are large and can fit at least two loads in them. I love the look of them and they are a nice thick quality which I wasn't expecting. The best part is when I'm lugging them down two flights of stairs to the basement I can loop my arm thru the handle and carry them on my shoulders. I highly recommend them and can't tell you the number of times I have thought about how much I love them." —MariePrice: $14.99+ for two (available in four sizes and four colors) A waterproof mattress protector no one thinks they need until they do.

Promising review: "This fan is fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to put a fan in my office. My office has been way too hot all week and was way too hot when I plugged it in earlier today, and now it feels cool. It didn't change the temperature one single degree but I feel cool now. It's a huge fan and it came in a huge box. It took maybe three minutes to put the stand on it and get it started. Remote control worked perfectly wit the first use. I have it oscillating, set to level 2, and every time it hits me, it feels icy cold. Wildly effective. Level 2 is very quiet.

I'm Looking for Wrinkle-free, Packable Clothes for My Europe Trips—These 14 Amazon Pieces Passed the Test
I'm heading to Europe twice this summer—first to Italy, then to France—and with back-to-back trips on the horizon, I've been on the hunt for lightweight, wrinkle-free staples that can handle everything from a countryside stroll in Provence to aperitivo hour in Florence. I'm trying to pack light, which means every piece has to pull double duty: stylish enough for dinners in Paris, breathable enough for sun-drenched days in Tuscany, and versatile enough to mix and match across both trips. After digging through hundreds of Amazon finds, I pulled together a lineup of breezy maxi dresses, matching sets, and wrinkle-resistant layers that fold down easily and still look polished straight out of a suitcase. The best part? Every item is under $50, and shoppers rave about how well they travel.

The lightweight fabric holds up well on hot days and resists wrinkles even when packed tightly. One shopper raved, 'It dries super fast, resists wrinkles, and packs down to almost nothing.' The cropped wide-leg pants and matching top offer endless outfit combinations: wear them as a full look for sightseeing, or wear the pants with a bodysuit or blazer to dress them up for an evening out.

The lightweight, quick-drying fabric resists creases, making the pants a great pick for both travel days and stylish city strolls.

One reviewer noted it's 'nice for it does not wrinkle.' Dress it up with gold jewelry and strappy sandals for dinner in Mykonos, or wear it barefoot over a swimsuit for a walk along the beach.
