A stick of Megababe's Thigh Rescue I can *personally* testify works anti-chafing miracles after wearing it many a task in Texas heat. I've tried a few other brands, but always end up back at Megababe because it lasts the longest and isn't grossly greasy.
A Kerasel fungal nail renewal treatment because while we love Shrek, we don't exactly want his nail routine. This magic stuff helps reduce discoloration and thickness, as well as hydrate and exfoliate brittle nails to get them back on track to being ✨shiny✨ and strong.
Promising review: "I noticed my big toe had nail fungus, so I tried this treatment. I've been applying it twice daily and after just 18 days, my nail looks much better. I thought it would take longer, but it's already improving." —IvyPrice: $26.49
A Bug Bite Thing insect bite suction tool to relieve itchy bites and stings from insects out for their big spring and summer ouchie hoorahs. No need to broadcast that you forgot to reapply bug spray to the world: Those meddling insects can ~suck it~. (Or at least your new tool can!)
Promising review: "It ONLY works if you use it right away, but it DOES work. People who say it doesn't work are likely waiting too long. You have to keep it with you and use it as soon as you feel the bite. That's the trick to it. Great product." —FeralHousewifePrice: $9.99
A K-beauty snail mucin essence I've not gone without since 2020 because this is a GOOD bandwagon to be on, trust me. This was a big part of the popular glass skin movement on TikTok, but all I care is that it helps tame my adult acne flareups and fits seamlessly into my morning (and evening!) skincare routines.
Promising review: "This is very hydrating. My bedtime moisturizer wouldn't leave me feeling very hydrated, but after adding this into my bedtime routine my skin feels nice and moisturized for the night!" —Emily Price: $8.50+ (available in two sizes)

A pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatments that finally broke me of my pimple-popping habit because these work so much better and leave your face less red. Just put them on for six hours or so (I use mine at night) and watch as they work their gunk-removal magic!
Promising review: "Hero is the only brand of pimple patches that actually work for me. These pimple patches are part of my necessity items in my bathroom drawer and I carry a few with me when I travel. One patch will help dry a pimple up and these patches work fast. No more popping, picking or scarring!" —VolMom2025Price: $9.79+ (available in two pack sizes)

Some Pond's dark-spot correcting cream with vitamin B3 to help decrease the appearance of dark spots and moisturize your face. It's hypoallergenic, too, so there's a low chance of a weird skin irritation popping up when you give it a go!
Promising review: "Gave this moisturizer a try for a few months and very impressed. My skin tone has evened out and dark spots are not getting darker with many hours in the sun every day." —MamagremlinPrice: $9.49
An Aveeno foot mask if your feet are dry, dry, dry from all that sandal wearing. Get them back into tip-top shape by giving them their own personal spa day while you relax on the couch and catch up on your fave shows.
Pro tip from someone who loves these: Keep them on a full 30 minutes. There is SO much product in these little booties, give your feet a chance to fully soak them up and then wring out the extra when you're done and give yourself a foot massage. My feet are SO soft after using these and I always have some on hand in my cabinet. Promising review: "Adding to my weekly routine. I've done foot peels and they help but not before a week of sloughing. This is a 10 minute deep conditioning that left my feet super soft and moisturized. Next time I'll use after a proper soak and scrub and expect to have silky soft feet. Well worth the money if you do pedis at home." —DailyJuicerPrice: $4.59
And Aveeno hand masks so your paws can also get in on the pampering action. Nobody wants to fess up to crummy cuticles and flaky fingers, but this will help rehab your hands so you don't even have to mention them before ~they're gone~. (The flakes and crumbs, obviously. Not your hands.)
Promising review: "First off super easy to use, not messy at all. I was skeptical, my hands get so dry that they crack and bleed. I put these on and instantly felt relief. I hardly recognized my hands when I took them off! Smooth and pain free! Life changing! I'm stocking up on these bad boys!!!" —MommaBirdPrice: $4.59
A Debrox earwax removal kit if you constantly have earplugs or in-ear headphones clogging up your ear's natural cleaning system. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Since we're apparently *not* supposed to use cotton swabs in our ear canals, these drops are the answer to helping flush out all that ick.
And what a treat this stuff is! I use it about once every three to six months just because I SWEAR my ears feel cleaner afterwards. (And the drops actually foam in your ears which is fun!)Promising review: "This saved me a trip to urgent care. It worked great! My ear was plugged for about a week and nothing was working. It worked the first time using it. I highly recommend!" —KimPrice: $10.49
A pair of Proof overnight period underwear for those nights when you've got a heavy flow but don't wanna bother with tampons or pads. Just slip these on and rest comfortably knowing that your beautiful sheets are safe!

I am so happy to have this comfortable option." —Realtor Mo"Excellent quality. It's really absorbent, doesn't look bulky." —BelloPrice: $26.99 (available in sizes S–XL)
A set of acupressure anti-nausea wristbands if motion sickness has plagued you down the years and enough is finally enough. These work by applying pressure to your wrist, which might just help with car sickness and nausea. Life is stressful enough without wanting to gag at the thought of getting in a plane, train, or automobile, so do yourself a favor and throw these in your cart so you can then throw them in your bag!

Highly recommend." —Sbrown9412"These are LIFE-CHANGING for me!!!! I get SO carsick all the time even just staring forward. Driving through the mountains and windy roads while having to work on my laptop, and somehow I'm not carsick while wearing these. Buy them!!!!!! So much better than taking meds." —YummmPrice: $10.99 for a 2-pack
A can of antifungal foot spray to treat and prevent most cases of athlete's foot or jock itch. Use it daily to make sure redness and itchiness stay as far away from you and your cute shoes as possible.
Promising review: "This is the best antifungal foot spray I have EVER used. It sprays very easily and doesn't dry out your skin, and it really does the job of keeping my feet clean and dry and itch free. It also prevents my heels from cracking, and my toe nails look super healthy. I look at them now and I swear they look like a child's. …Really beautiful! I've tried several other brands and nothing works as well or feels as nice as this spray. Try this and you'll never use another one, I promise; It's THAT good!" —Diane B.Price: $7.99
A bottle of Bio-Oil — a friend practically threw one at me when I complained of my nose being scaly. I have since used this on very old scars and can confirm this is a miracle elixir that should cost much more than 10 buckeroos. Sometimes I put a couple of drops in my daily moisturizer ~just for fun~ because it also smells amazing.
Promising review: "I've been using this for about a month now and can tell a big difference in a scar I have. Also, just love the moisture it provides my skin. I use it on my whole face, not just the scar area and I think it has brightened my skin." —BoysbaseballandbohoPrice: $6.49+ (available in three sizes)
Or an Aquaphor Healing Ointment! I got on the Aquaphor train after having a baby (because this stuff is GREAT for preventing diaper rash), but now it's never leaving my home because I use it on my lips, on my dry elbows, and anywhere else that needs some TLC. My kid calls it "the special lotion" and it really is.
Promising review: "Amazing during the drier months. We use on hands, lips, elbows, cheeks, everywhere. It is very oily and thick so it is better to use at night if you don't like the consistency. It works wonderful! I will sometimes out lotion on my kid's hands and wrists then use this on top before bed and it works great to help with very dry skin." —CeebeePrice: $7.79
A pair of Tweezerman slant tweezers so you can kiss stray eyebrow hairs, chin hairs, and everywhere-in-between hairs a not-so-fond farewell. If you can't beat 'em, pluck 'em! That's my motto.
Promising reviews: "I will never buy another brand of tweezers. Love Tweezerman. Precise, sharp, excellent quality." —R"I recently bought this tweezer to replace my old tweezer man that I had had for over five years. These are just as good as my old ones. I won't use any other brand! They do the job!" —maggie92Price: $29.49 (available in three colors)
A Dove 72-hour deodorant that helped me get rid of that weird armpit discoloration for good and keeps me from sweating and smelling in Texas summers. (I can't stress how high of praise this is for anything that has to go up against 100+ degree heat on the regular.)
It's formulated with "Pro-Ceramide Technology," which works to help replenish and strengthen your skin's natural barrier by potentially boosting ceramide levels (which naturally reduce when you shave) to keep shaving and heat-caused redness away!Promising review: "Hands down my favorite deodorant! Last all day, no residue, and smells so nice. Worth the price." —Target CustomerPrice: $8.49
A pack of breath-freshening TheraBreath gum: You already know and love their mouthwashes. Now you can follow up throughout the day with bursts of sugar-free, icy mint so after-lunch breath doesn't even cross your mind as a concern. (Enjoy those extra onions if you want! TheraBreath has got you covered.)
Price: $7.69 for a 24-count
Some Living Proof triple bond complex leave-in treatment if your hair is damaged from color, sun, or just ~existing~ in 2025. (🙋🏻‍♀️) My hair was dry and hay-like on the ends, but no more with this miracle leave-in treatment! Just leave it on your tresses for about 10 minutes after showering and voila!
Price: $45
Some of the internet-famous Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil that's famous for a reason: It's affordable. It smells amazing. Oh, and it WORKS. My greatest shopping writer regret is not taking "before" pics of using this stuff because it helped my postpartum thinning spot better than anything else I've tried. (And without the strong chemical smells of some of the other stuff, thank you very much.)
Some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This works great! I use it on my hair the night before I am planning on doing a wash. It always leaves my hair feeling great the next day!" —CpowellPrice: $10.99
A rechargeable Philips Sonicare toothbrush your dentist is probably always telling you to buy, and you should. Lazy perfection for oral hygiene is my most favorite kind of lazy perfection because when I brush my teeth, I want them to be setup for success with all the summer sugary treats I'll be eating this season. Snackities before cavities.
Promising reviews: "This toothbrush is fantastic. It really leaves your teeth feeling much cleaner. The different intensities and different cleaning modes really allow you to experience a deep clean every time and is much better than other brushes I've tried before." —Gwills"Sonicare makes the best. It's amazing how clean my teeth feel." —Target CustomerPrice: $109.99 (originally $129.99, available in four colors)
A three-pack of dermaplaning razors so you can shape your brows, remove unwanted facial hair, or exfoliate your face on the cheap. (I'd make a hair pun here, but perhaps I should just cut it out...and put these in my cart already.)
Promising reviews: "The blade is sharp, and I love that each one comes with a safety cover. Great for at home dermaplaning." —PTC"These work way better than any other dermaplaning tool I've used. I haven't got cut from them yet (hopefully I don't jinx myself!) Other brands would always cut my face no matter what technique I used or how gentle I was." —RagamuffinPrice: $7.69
A Hyland's topical salve with so many applications, you'd be a silly goose not to have this on hand. Ingrown hairs, splinters, bug bites, and boils... This salve is basically a magic potion ready to aid you at every turn.
Promising reviews: "If you get stubborn under the skin pimples, try this! It works so well when applied consistently." —30 something mama"I put this on overnight for any stubborn under skin pimple. The stuff is a must have." —Mel MPrice: $6.99
A stainless-steel tongue scraper to give your tongue the same kind of deep clean you like to give your car, your toilet, your everything. Your tongue is responsible for delivering flavor cues to your brain, so it's important to keep it in tip-top shape!
Promising review: "I was super excited to receive this tongue scraper. I really like how wide the scraper is. It's light, cleans easy, great feel to it. The quality is more than what I expected for its pricing." —MomoPrice: $11.99 for a two-pack (originally $16.99)
A warm vanilla-scented Eva NYC dry shampoo because we as a society should not be punished with strong artificial smells and sticky roots for getting rid of our greasy hair. Enhanced with vitamin C and fatty acids, this will actually nourish your hair and make it smell amazing!
Promising review: "Tried this for the first time today and I absolutely love it! Works great and smells amazing!" —AnnabellePrice: $16.99
