Along with doggie sunscreen to protect your furry four-legged adventure buddy from the sun's harsh rays. This nongreasy, all-over spray is perfect for protecting those sensitive spots like bellies, noses, ears, paws, and legs that can easily get sunburned. No matter the breed, this sunscreen is a must-have, but it's especially awesome for pups with white or pink skin and those with thinner, shorter coats.
An electric travel kettle so you can have your tea, coffee, oatmeal, INSTANT SPICY CARBONARA NOODLES, or whatever else you need flowing through your body while at home or on the go. Some reviewers even use it to warm up baby bottles! It boils liquids super fast, and its compact size will take up very little space in your kitchen while also making it easy to bring along when commuting.
An inflatable pool cooler if you've ever been lounging in your pool on a hot day, only to realize you have to get out and trudge back to the house to grab a cold drink or snack. This cute, nifty thing will keep all your essentials chilled *and* afloat so you can continue relaxing in your pool without a care in the world.
A neck and shoulder relaxer that may look a bit...odd at first glance, but it's here to help soothe neck stiffness and shoulder tension in as little as 10 minutes. If you find yourself hunched over your laptop and your neck and shoulders are practically screaming for relief, this was made for you.
A "Nap Guardian" doorbell cover — a godsend for all the parents, pet owners, and nap aficionados out there. This helps prevent your doorbell from being rung at the most inconvenient time, interrupting your peace and quiet. Your little ones can snooze soundly, your overly excited fur babies can stay blissfully on the couch, and you? You can finally get that glorious shut-eye you've been dreaming about!

A cleansing balm made with this innovative grinding mechanism so you get *just* the right amount of product you need, and it's also way more hygienic than sticking your fingers into a container. It's formulated with plant-based oils that can remove sunscreen, makeup, and even waterproof mascara!
A set of legging organizing hangers for those of us who have more leggings than a Lululemon store, and currently, they're all jumbled up in a dresser drawer. These hangers will not only free up some much-needed space but also keep you from wrestling through a sea of spandex to find that one pair that makes your butt look phenomenal.
A set of Bluapple freshness balls — just by existing in the same space as your fruits and veggies, these can extend their lifespan and save you a ton of money in the process. No more wasted trips to the grocery store just because your bananas and bell peppers went bad too soon!
A human-sized "dog bed" — I know you're raising an eyebrow, but hear me out! You can drag this oversized cuddle cloud into your living room, office, or basically wherever you want to plop down and live your best life. Some reviewers call it the best thing they've ever purchased because of how soft and cozy it is *and* the way it's supportive enough to make you feel totally cradled.
A jumpsuit that's also shapewear (???) — I know it sounds wild, but stay with me now. It's got a built-in bra and compression to give you support without skimping on comfort. The ribbed fabric is thick, yet stretchy and breathable enough for those hot girl walks or days when you're dashing around the city running errands. To top it all off, it passes the squat test *and* doesn't roll up your thighs!
A "lifting" essence reviewers on TikTok are referring to as "Botox in a bottle." It's made with NAD+, which can help boost cell turnover and stimulate collagen production, along with 50 types of peptides to help plump and firm your skin. With a stretchy texture that's similar to snail mucin but thicker, this gem can help make fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable in four weeks!
A silicone toe cap to help protect and heal ingrown toenails, corns, and bunions that might have snuck up on you. Not only does it work its magic to make you feel better now, but it also helps prevent those issues from getting any worse in the future.
And an itty-bitty toenail brace that gently corrects the curve of your nail so those vicious ingrowns stop digging into your skin. It's easy to apply *and* discreet, so you can still flaunt those cute open-toed shoes without anyone being the wiser.
An acupressure mat and pillow because it feels like every day you're waking up to new aches and pains like you just ran a marathon. With over 7,000 acupressure points, this magical duo works wonders in targeting key areas of tension and stress.

An inflatable wedge pillow you'll be glad to have while sitting in the dreaded middle seat on a plane (stop waiting last minute to book that flight, pookie 🤨). You can pump it up and rest your head against it, saving yourself from neck cramps and drool stains. There's also a hole in the middle for your face so you can still breathe comfortably.
A meat cooking temperature magnet that'll spare you from the chaos of googling "What's the temp for rare beef?" in the middle of prepping dinner. This little magnet sticks right on your fridge so you can reference those important cooking temps for fish, chicken, and more at a glance.
A Michael Scott/Prison Mike reversible dishwasher magnet featuring one side with a smiling, clean-cut Michael, letting you know the dishes are sparkling clean and ready to be tucked away.

A remote control ring on those days when you wouldn't dare to emerge from under the covers, not even to scroll on your phone.

Aritzia is having a breakout year — here's why the women's fashion boutique is on a growth spurt
Watch out, Lululemon: Another Vancouver-based apparel maker is making a play for US shoppers. Aritzia, the everyday luxury womenswear retailer, has steadily gained ground and grown sales over the past several years with its assortment of stylish activewear and comfortable office wear. The company said in July that it grew its retail footprint by 25% over the last year, including opening 13 stores and redesigning three existing ones. The expansion helped drive retail sales up 34% year over year last quarter. "We've done a lot of work over the past 1 1/2 years, two years to refine our playbook and ensure that our inventory is productive and efficient. And I think we're in a fantastic place right now, very well-positioned," CEO Jennifer Wong said in an earnings call. The results appear to be delivering on some ambitious goals Wong laid out last year as Aritzia's US expansion was heating up. Wong was not immediately available for an interview with Business Insider, but she detailed her strategy in several interviews with other outlets. "We're tackling all the major cities where we know our brand and product resonates with the customer," she told Vogue Business last November. "The next step is to fill in the rest of the country." Founded in 1984 in Vancouver, Aritzia saw steady growth in Canada before entering the US in 2007. The company saw a bumper year in 2020, followed by some pandemic-era challenges, and has since tripled sales to more than CAD$2.7 billion last year. Wong has been with the company since its early days, rising through the ranks to eventually take over the helm from founder Brian Hill in 2022. She soon doubled the rate of store openings, helping to extend the momentum of the return-to-office era. "We experienced some explosive growth coming out of Covid," she said. "There was pent-up demand and a whole new energy. That really accelerated our business in the US, and we became more well known than ever. We've been really riding that momentum since." There are 68 locations in Canada and 63 in the US, and the company says it could see the US figure grow to more than 150 over the next few years, not to mention its growing e-commerce operation. Four of those locations will open in the next few months in the Boston area, Miami, Salt Lake City, and Raleigh, North Carolina. While Aritzia's stores have drawn some derision on TikTok for their mirrorless (and sometimes crowded) dressing rooms, its high-touch "style advisor" sales approach harkens back to the kind of personalized shopping experience offered at luxury department stores like Bergdorf Goodman. Of course, it's the clothing that ultimately makes or breaks the sale for fashion brands, and Aritzia appears to be delivering good value for its customers. In terms of style and substance, BI's reviews team called Aritzia's apparel " as timeless and elegant as it is trendy and modern" and said the quality is "undisputed." Price-wise, analysts at Jefferies looked at comparable products from nine peer retailers and found Aritzia to be a cut above the mid-tier but a step below the highest-priced brands. In other words, it is more expensive than Lululemon and J. Crew but less pricey than Anthropologie and Madewell. In addition, Aritiza's prices are less frequently marked down than some competitors. The Jefferies analysts suggested that the relative pricing and demand for Aritzia products give the company more room to grow in sales and profits, propelling its expansion. From its merchandise to stores to tech, it appears Aritzia is getting a lot of retail fundamentals right — and reaping the rewards. "It's not any one of those things, but it's all of these things that come together and how we've been able to execute well over the years on all of it," Wong told the Business of Fashion in January. "When I say we want to be excellent at everything, that's really what's in our minds."

15 Last-chance Finds From Lululemon's Major Summer Scores Sale You Don't Want to Miss—Starting at Just $29
Lululemon keeps its "We Made Too Much" section well-stocked at all times, but this summer the brand delivered a rare sale event that blew previous deals out of the water—and there are still a few days left to shop. The Summer Scores event comes to a close on Monday, July 21, but in the meantime, the site is still teeming with breathable travel wardrobe must-haves, many of which are at the lowest prices we've ever seen from the brand. As a Lululemon fanatic myself, I delighted in scouring the sale for the best last-chance deals to score before the event comes to a close, and wound up uncovering 15 must-have finds with price cuts up to 41 percent off. From breezy exercise dresses to top-rated leggings and hiking pants, these are the remaining deals you won't want to leave unclaimed during Lululemon's rare sale, starting at just $29. Best Overall Deals Pace Crush High-rise 2.5-inch Shorts lululemon I'm not always the biggest fan of shorts, but the practically unbeatable New York City summer heat has made it nearly impossible to wear anything else. So, I've been on a mission to build a collection of options I'll actually reach for, and the Pace Crush High-rise Shorts are at the top of my list. The elastic waistband and flowy design make these shorts especially comfy and forgiving, and while they're crafted for running, they'll also make a great selection for active travel days. The sweat-wicking fabric is practically essential during the summer months (plus they're quick-drying too), and they even feature a built-in liner for that little extra coverage. Align Waist-length Cami Tank lululemon I'm a sucker for high-quality basics, so when I laid eyes on this sweat-wicking cami with a built-in bra, I knew I needed to add it to my cart. The versatile top is made from a buttery-soft fabric that's breathable and stretchy, effectively checking off all my boxes for a comfy travel outfit. Adjustable straps allow for the perfect fit without slipping off my shoulder, and the waist-length hemline can be worn tucked into my pants or loose. It even comes in nine gorgeous shades that I'll need to stock up on while they're marked down. Softstreme High-rise Straight-leg Cropped Pants lululemon With an elastic waistband and a breathable cropped design, these high-rise pants are sure to become my go-to for long-haul flights in the coming months. The casual, slightly slouchy design is impossibly cool and easy to dress up or down by swapping my shoes, and they're effectively an elevated version of sweatpants thanks to their super-soft, stretchy construction. They're available in three neutral shades (although black currently has the most sizes available), and you can even score them in two different lengths. Align High-rise Skirt lululemon I love the look of mini skirts, but due to their revealing nature, I've always found myself drawn to skorts instead. So, when I spotted the Align High-rise Skirt with built-in shorts in the Summer Scores sale, I was sold. The thick waistband and fitted finish will be both flattering and comfortable, and while it's made with sweat-wicking fabric, it's still stylish enough to be dressed up with a fun top and heels. It's ultra-stretchy and super soft, so I'll feel good wearing it during a travel or sightseeing day, and I can already imagine countless outfits with this skirt as the base. Wunder Train High-rise Crop Leggings lululemon I've been on the lookout for a pair of leggings so lightweight that I can wear them throughout the summer, and the Wunder Train High-rise Crop Leggings seem to fit the bill. I can't get enough of the wide, smooth waistband that's lightly compressive without squeezing too tightly, and the cropped length is great for the summer months. However, the feature that really caught my eye was the brand's Everlux fabric that claims to be quick-drying without revealing sweat marks, so I can banish my greatest insecurity in the gym once and for all. Everywhere Belt Bag lululemon After misplacing my beloved belt bag in a move earlier this year, I've been waiting for the perfect time to invest in its replacement. Well, the waiting ends today because the Everywhere Belt Bag is currently $29, and I already know it's the best way to keep my hands free and my travel documents contained when heading through the airport. The bag is crafted with a water-repellent exterior and a roomy interior complete with a built-in mesh pocket, and its adjustable strap makes it easy to secure a snug fit. Best of all, the back of the bag features another hidden compartment that's practically tailor-made to hold a passport, so I'll have it close to my chest and easily accessible at all times. Align Side-slit Cami Strap Dress lululemon Exercise dresses are my favorite choice for sightseeing and walking tours when I still want to look cute without sacrificing comfort, and the baby pink Align Side-slit Cami Strap Dress will be the next addition to my closet from the Summer Scores sale. It's designed with a built-in sports bra and shorts for extra coverage and comfort no matter what's on the agenda for the day, and it's made from a sweat-wicking, breathable fabric that will be a relief during even the hottest summer days. The tasteful side slits are really just icing on the cake. Blissfeel 2 Women's Running Shoes lululemon I always try to squeeze in at least one run when I'm traveling, which means I have to be prepared with a pair of shoes fit for the job. Since my current running sneakers are on their way out, I'll be snagging the Blissfeel 2 Women's Running Shoes before the Summer Score sale ends, and right now they're still available in a full range of sizes from 5 to 12. They're built with impressive cushioning at the insoles and crafted with women's unique needs in mind, plus they're super lightweight at under a pound for the pair. I'll definitely be reaching for them for exercise since they're designed for running, but I think they'll even become my go-to casual walking shoes, as well. Cotton Pointelle Cropped Cami Tank Top lululemon This dainty cropped camisole is made from an ultra-soft cotton fabric that's endlessly comfy for in-flight wear, and at $34, it's practically a steal right now. The tank strikes the perfect balance between fitted and loose with a body-skimming shape and a hemline that falls just above the belly button. I'm enamored with its delicate lavender shade, but it also comes in six other colors if you're looking for a more muted pick. Best of all, the straps are adjustable, and it's fully stocked in sizes ranging from 3XS to XL. Scuba Mid-rise Oversized Joggers lululemon I prefer my sweatpants to be baggy and loose-fitting, so naturally I'll be snagging a pair of the Scuba Mid-rise Oversized Joggers while they're still on sale for $79. The interior is lined with an unbelievably soft fleece that's gentle against the skin and so luxurious, plus the elastic waistband is adjustable with a handy drawstring cord. The mid-rise cut is flattering and looks great with both cropped and longer shirts, and they're even fitted with deep side pockets with a built-in card sleeve for convenient access while on the go. Love Curved-hem Crewneck T-shirt lululemon My search for the perfect lightweight summer tee continues with the Love Curved-hem Crewneck T-shirt that's on sale for just $34 and boasts a flattering flowy cut and subtle striped design that'll make it a go-to during my next vacation. This basic top will be easy to style in endless ways thanks to its timeless shape, and it's even in stock in a full range of sizes from 0 to 20. It comes in six shades that will match everything in my suitcase (and look great in vacation photos), and the longer hem means it can be worn tucked or loose depending on the outfit. Wunder Train High-rise Shorts lululemon A simple pair of biker shorts is one of my favorite pieces to throw on in attempts to ward off the summer heat, and I'm especially drawn to the bold raspberry shade of the Wunder Train High-rise Shorts. They're made from the same breathable, sweat-wicking fabric as the Wunder leggings, so I trust they'll dry quickly in a pinch, and the wide waistband even hides an adjustable drawcord to keep them firmly in place. Plus, they come in three different inseam lengths to ensure inner-thigh chafing will be a thing of the past. Packable Lightweight Hiking Pants lululemon I'm excited to get some hiking in during my travels to New Hampshire next month, and these lightweight pants are surely going to find a home in my suitcase for the trip. They're designed with a multitude of handy pockets for storage on the trails, and they come with a built-in adjustable belt to keep them in place without having to hike them up throughout the day. Most impressively, these pants pack down into their own pocket so they'll take up minimal space in a backpack or suitcase. Cotton Crochet Mesh Relaxed-fit Cardigan lululemon Versatile, stylish, and packable, this lightweight, cozy cardigan is a dream for evenings on the beach and shorter flights when I still want to look put together. The front is affixed with three buttons and a deep V-neck cut that looks great worn open or closed, and it's made with a relaxed fit that won't feel restrictive or uncomfortable. It's an easy layer to throw into my personal item and slip on during a flight, and the airy knit is essential for the summer. Scuba Oversized Half-zip Hoodie lululemon By now, my closet is practically overflowing with sweatshirts, but with the Scuba Oversized Half-zip Hoodie, I certainly have room for just one more. This cozy layer will be the perfect selection for staying relaxed during long flights, and the zipper will make it easy to slide over my head without messing up my hair. It boasts a roomy front pocket for storing snacks and other in-flight essentials, and perhaps best of all, it has thumb holes. I'm eyeing it in the pink dragonfruit shade since it's available in a full range of sizes, but it also comes in 10 other vibrant colors that will instantly upgrade your travel wardrobe.
