A FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan from Shark — this indoor/outdoor fan is sure to be beloved by folks who are tired of ~sweating it~ during the summer. It has an impressive 70 ft. reach while being ultra quiet. The attached water tank makes this misting fan portable *and* it can even be adjusted to be used as a table fan. Bless that breeze.
Quick-dry running shorts that'll have you crying tears of joy when you realize how comfortable these are all day, despite your impressive sweating skills. They have built-in underwear, a phone pocket, and a high slit on each side which is 1) CUTE and 2) extra comfortable.
Lanolips hydrating SPF 30 lip balm because if it really chaps your hide (my Grandma's favorite phrase, Hi Grandma!) that most SPF products leave a white cast and taste *terrible* on your lips, then you need to be using this healing combo of lanolin oil, SPF, and vitamin E to moisturize, nourish, and protect that extra thin skin.
A smooth edge can opener — a Shark Tank favorite that'll remove the entire top off of any can (it's got a universal fit!), helping you take your canned drinks to the next level this summer. Pop off the top of your Diet Coke and add in some ice cream, mixers, ice, or whatever else you have. Then safely sip away! I'm feeling refreshed just thinking about it.
A Nori Press steam iron so you can enjoy your breathable linen outfits *looking their best* all summer long. If you, like me, spend the entire summer feeling awkward in your ridiculously wrinkled wardrobe because linen is so darn hard to keep wrinkle-free, this thing is about to save your clothing from yourself.
A pair of sunglasses you wear *over* your prescription glasses — a suuuper helpful solution for anyone who has been struggling in the sun for too many years, refusing to spend money on prescription sunglasses and hoping for a simpler solution to keep their eyes comfy in the sun. This is it, my fellow four-eyed friends! These stay on, they're lightweight, and they work.
A sand removal bag so you can "dust off" you and your kids before everyone gets into the car after a day at the beach. The bag is filled with a talc-free, reef-friendly powder that will ensure the sand stays outside, where it belongs.
A Revlon volcanic stone face roller that'll absorb excess oil on your face as you swipe it away *without* ruining your makeup. Now that this exists, there's no better product to have in your bag when the summer sun brings back your extra oily skin. Oil blotting sheets WISH they were this sexy. Keep your makeup looking great all day with this OG TikTok beauty sensation.
A budget-friendly 3-in-1 sprinkler, splash pad, and wading pool sure to get your kids excited to spend time outside, even if it's just in the backyard. Oof, that's a relief. BTW, this is decorated with colors, letters, and numbers so learning isn't just an indoor activity! Plus, this thing looks so satisfying that on a hot day, you might just join in with your kids.
An Ostrich chaise lounge with holes for your face and arms, so you can comfortably read and scroll through your phone on your stomach without craning your neck or having the sun on your screen. It's adjustable *and* has a pillow cover for snoozin' on your back.
A set of cult-favorite extra soft cooling bedsheets (boasting a mind-boggling 245,000 5-star reviews!!), folks say feel like sleeping at a luxurious hotel. If you've found falling asleep a chore because of tossing, turning, and *sweating* at night, then treat yourself to these must-have sheets.
And a pair of cooling pillowcases with thousands of dreamy reviews from *previously* sweaty sleepers. Don't keep waking and flipping your toasty pillow over in frustration — it's gonna be your cool sleep summer!
A hands-free, bladeless, portable neck fan that'll treat you to fans on either side of your neck, pointing up at your face with a gentle breeze that'll feel positively heaven-sent on sunny days. This has five different speeds to choose from, so you know you'll be comfortable no matter how long you're stuck saving a spot for your family before the town's annual parade.
Or a truly investment worthy wearable *air conditioner* (you read that right!!) — if you're sweating just thinking about being outside this summer, add this arctic accessory to your wardrobe and drop the temp around you by up to 36*. I can't say you'll make friends sporting this individual AC, but you better believe everyone'll wish they were you. Cool.
A clip-on umbrella with UPF 50 protection and *swivel* abilities, so you can turn any chair into a shady spot while out and about. Reviewers have also used this with wagons, strollers, wheelchairs, and electric scooters!
A vegan ingrown hair oil sure to save the day (and your bikini line) if shaving on sensitive parts of your body leads to inflammation and breakouts that are more bothersome than the hair was. Not only does it address that inflammation, but the spiffy mix of jojoba and grapeseed oil moisturizes and softens your skin to keep it nourished. Swimsuit season, here we come!
A Yeti backpack cooler — an investment-worthy piece that'll be *far* easier to carry long distances than a traditional cooler. Keeping yourself hydrated (or full of spiked seltzer) might be the only way to keep yourself out in the sun on your next family vacation.
A mosquito repellent sure to save you from being *bugged* by mosquitos while lounging around on your patio. This creates a 15-foot personal bug-free bubble to have you feeling FREE from those dang pests.
SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical strength formula that'll last up to seven days (!!!) for folks who get seasonal depression whenever the sun has them sweatin' it for no good reason.
A flexible, adjustable mister that'll help you keep your cool when some fresh air would do you good, but the heat makes you hide inside. It'll cool the surrounding area by up to 20 degrees, so it doesn't have to be *sweltering* while you enjoy some sun.
Milani Make It Last Sunscreen Setting Spray / Primer with SPF 30 so you can be confident that your makeup stays in place, without sweating off, if you take the time to do your full beauty routine in the morning. Not only that, this'll make your makeup waterproof for up to 16 hours. So feel free to go full face on a beach day if you feel like it!
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum sure to do its very darndest to protect your skin (without a white cast), no matter how much you're out in the sun this summer. Reviewers rave about using this as a priming moisturizer. Any way to sneak some SPF into your makeup routine is a real win. My pasty self is buying this as we speak. Seriously.
A lightweight, fast-drying towel — this repels sand instead of attracting it like most beach towels do, so you won't get covered in sand while lounging on the beach! PLUS it's ultra absorbent, so you'll dry off fast after a plunge in the water. Grab one of these and you can make a day at the beach finally feel like, well, a day at the beach!
A bottle of Carpe antiperspirant foot lotion that just might finally get your perpetually sweaty feet dry, saving you from blisters caused by slick skin rubbing inside your shoes.
A portable lock box to keep your necessities secure when you're napping in the sand. It's designed to attach around two beach chairs, so you won't have a nagging worry about your wallet/phone getting stolen while trying to relax.
A BruMate insulated can cooler with a double-walled stainless-steel layer that'll keep drinks up to 20 times colder than a koozy. Skip the disappointment that comes from a room temperature beverage when you're thirsting under the sun — keep that drink freezy all day long with this treasure instead!
A pack of SPF-sensing stickers to remind your skin about the importance of sunscreen when you're having too much fun to remember to reapply on your own.
A Cruiser City from Veer that'll make packing up and heading out the door on summer days SO much easier. There's room for an entire day's worth of necessities in this wagon — so no need to be carrying heavy coolers or giant beach bags while *also* strolling your kid through the sand! This is designed with swivel wheels furthest from the handle, meaning you can push it like a stroller while still getting all the benefits of a ride-on wagon! This is a truly game-changing way to explore the world with your kids. Plus, it has cup holders.
And an all-terrain stroller so lightweight and compact it can fit in the overhead bin on a plane. When your kid has been on a flight for hours, waiting for a stroller to be retrieved from storage after you deplane may feel like a millennium. Plus, this stroller can conquer all the cobblestone streets or rocky gravel paths your vacation may take you through!
A travel shawl with UPF 50+ protection, which claims to block 98% of the sun's rays when outside. This is a great accessory when traveling to hot climates where you need the extra sun protection without melting under extra layers.
A Java Sock that'll do the two most important things for your beloved iced coffees (or...other drinks. I know people drink other drinks)! 1) It'll keep that caramel almond milk cold brew cold for ages — hours, according to reviewers — and 2) It'll keep your drink from sweating into your cupholder or all over your desk. It's a cruel twist of fate that iced coffee sweats as much as we do in the summer.
Olay Super Serum Body Wash (the body wash version of Olay's cult favorite facial Super Serum) — this is so soothing it's basically gonna feel like giving your dry skin a niacinamide-forward bottle of red, with notes of shea butter and a whiff of collagen peptides that'll treat your ~full body~ to 24-hour hydration when summer has you feeling dehydrated from head to toe. Ahhh, drink that all in.
A cooling blanket brilliantly knit with fibers that *absorb* body heat so you can stay covered without melting this summer. One side is a classic cotton and the other side has an ~Arc-Chill~ fabric that's literally cool to the touch. Ahem, cool.
Burt's Bees sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil to soothe and hydrate your skin if, despite your best efforts, you end up with a brutal sunburn sometime this summer. Feel at ease knowing this is at-the-ready if you end up turning into a lobster and need a little help feeling soothed.
A portable, bladeless stroller fan that has three speeds — this can attach to more than just a stroller, which is great if you find yourself needing to share the fan with your mini-me when your breezy beach vacation seems to be a little light on the breeze.
A Coola scalp and hair sunscreen mist with SPF 30 so you don't get dandruff and dry skin peeling from a sunburned hair part. Not only will it help prevent sunburns, but it's also formulated to protect your hair from sun damage. Use this as the finishing touch on your daily haircare and you're gonna be g2g! Great.
Or a lightweight UPF 50+ protective running hat to keep your face and head extra protected while also keeping the sun out of your eyes. Spiffy.
Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with a gorgeous gardenia scent and a formula that'll give you the satisfying clean your hair needs with a lil' keratin treatment thrown in. This'll help protect against the frizz and breakage spring humidity inevitably brings. Plus, the packaging'll make your bathroom counter look beautiful all on its own.
A travel brush with a hidden compartment, sure to be looked upon with envy by your overpacked travel buddies as they desperately try to find some open space on the counter of your hotel bathroom. Trying to fit seven people in two rooms has not worked out as well as your friends thought it would. But hey, *you've* got a brush with enough room for toothpaste and tampons! You're doing great.
A hidden fly trap you plug into an outlet when you have house flies, fruit flies, moths, or gnats crawling around. The little light lures bugs by up to 400 feet (!!!), and the sneaky design means this thing'll be blastin' bugs by the dozen without ruining your room's clean aesthetic.
An oscillating tower fan with six speeds (we're talkin' up to 24 feet per second velocity), three modes, and a surprisingly quiet design despite its power. If you're intimidated by installing an A.C. in your fourth-floor window...you're gonna be a big fan of this gadget.
A mason jar cold brew maker so you can have a bold cup of cold brew from the comfort of your kitchen counter. Reviewers also love using this when making iced tea, which is the *first* thing I will be drinking once it's finally warm enough for a cold drink.
A 12-pack of electrolyte drinks from Biolyte — these have a whopping 6.5x more electrolytes than traditional sports drinks, and they're formulated to help with the cramps, fatigue, and other issues that spring up from general dehydration. If you find yourself losing your personality when uncomfortably parched during a day outdoors, these are here to spring you back to life with a sip!
Or a bag of cotton candy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets, with three times the electrolytes of a typical sports drink, great for packing on long hikes, recovering after a run, and keeping close during long days strolling in the sun. Honestly, you may just wanna keep these in your bag 24/7.
An anti-humidity spray that'll work like a waterproof barrier on your hair (a harrier, if you will) to block out moisture in the air that leads to frizziness. There's no need to be doing your hair every dang day (or even several times a day) because of humidity! And feel free to give your hair a good wash after a sweaty day... this stuff lasts up to 72 hours and through 2–3 shampoos!
A pair of reusable silicone nipple covers designed for all the dresses that feel like they're ruined by a bra. These are also totally waterproof, so there will be no need to ~sweat it~ in these.
And finally, a tabletop picnic basket made of bamboo, covered in canvas fabric, and filled with enough dishware for four hungry folks. When opened, the lid of the basket has a curved leg that'll extend to the ground, creating a solid top for your food. Not only that, but the tabletop has four round cutouts specifically to keep your wineglasses upright no matter what surface you're sitting on. This takes care of everything you need to serve up a picnic, so you can just zone out while making your famous pasta salad. You already have everything else you need. And? It's cute.

Winter staple Aussies aren't cleaning enough: 'Do every two to three weeks'

When winter hits, there are a few things that we instinctively reach for. A thicker doona, cosy flannel PJs and furry slippers, for starters. For many Aussies, the advent of chilly weather also means that another essential is never far away and that it is the humble Oodie. These oversized blanket/hoodie combos have become a trusty crutch through winter, but there is one little issue that often gets overlooked. Given that the Oodie is something you eat in, sleep in, and even traipse to the supermarket in, how regularly are you washing these comfy wardrobe staples? As CEO and Founder of The Laundry Lady, Susan Toft is a laundry expert with gold standard advice on how to get anything clean. Appearing on Shark Tank in 2023, she told shark and Oodie founder Davie Fogarty that her business often washes Oodies, so she knows her stuff! Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, Susan breaks down how often you should wash your Oodie and the laundry no-nos you should avoid when doing so. RELATED: Caravan couple's Bunnings solution to dry laundry in a small space: 'Perfect size' Off-grid camper's laundry act divides caravan owners: 'Still get the eye rolls' Kmart fans rush to buy $35 item that transforms household task: 'I bought two' According to Susan, the first trick is temperature and cycle. 'Use cold water on a gentle cycle. You can use a warm wash up to 40 degrees, but can get just as good results with a cold wash,' Susan tells us. 'The delicate fibres in your Oodie don't need aggressive washing. Think of it like washing a favourite woolly jumper.' She also advises washing your Oodie by itself because it's a big, bulky item that will nearly fill most domestic washing machines. If you're going to the trouble of washing it, you might as well give it the best chance of getting really clean! 'You also want to avoid washing it with items that have zippers, hooks, or rough textures that could snag the fabric,' she adds. In terms of detergent, Susan recommends a laundry liquid. 'Opt for ones that are approved for wool or silk. A small amount goes a long way. Too much detergent can leave residue that makes the fabric feel stiff,' she says. Interestingly, she also suggested skipping the fabric softener. 'It can actually coat the fibres and reduce their natural softness over time. The fabric is designed to be soft without additives,' she explains. Half the items in my closet tell me I should handwash them (but I rarely do), and the idea of wringing out a soaking wet Oodie in the sink does NOT appeal. Still, Susan says, if you really want to preserve your Oodie's cuddly texture, it's the best way. 'Hand wash in cold water using a large laundry tub, bucket, or even a strucket. This bulky item needs room to move freely in the water, but due to size, this option may not be possible for everyone,' she says. It goes without saying that the tumble dryer is a no no. The heat can damage the fibres and cause shrinkage so the expert advice is to air dry. 'Lay it flat on a clean towel or hang it from direct sunlight,' Susan tells us. Given this process doesn't actually seem as arduous as expected, it's now for the big question of how often you should do it? The answer might surprise you. 'If you're wearing your Oodie regularly, while snuggling up on the couch aim to wash it every 2-3 weeks, or when you notice it's lost that fresh smell,' Susan says. 'Unlike regular clothing, Oodies don't need frequent washing because it's worn over other articles of clothing rather than directly on the skin. You can stretch that 2-3 weeks longer if you're not wearing it every day.' Of course if you take your trusty Oodie out and or are just regularly wearing it outside you might want to throw it in the weekly wash. Along with the Oodie there are other cosy comforts dragged out of storage to make winter more palatable. The kids and the dog are usually the biggest fans of snuggling up in a blanket or throw but again, how much thought do we put into making sure they aren't also cuddling up to an army of bugs and germs in there? 'Heavy blankets and throws are often sent to the too hard basket, but they need regular attention, especially in homes with children or pets,' Susan says. She advises that in a pet and kid-free home, 2-3 months between washes is ok but add some furry friends to the mix and she ups the washing frequency to monthly—or more if they sleep on them. 'With young kids [wash] every 3-4 weeks because spills and accidents happen,' she says. "Plus, if there's sickness in the house and kids have been sniffing and sneezing on the lounge it's a good idea to do an extra wash afterwards." The first thing to do is check weight limits on your machine, as many heavy blankets exceed standard capacity. If it's ok, then pre-treat any stains before washing, and Susan advises using cold water and a gentle cycle to prevent shrinkage.

'The weight when wet can damage your dryer.' If the thought of washing your heavy blankets makes you want to hide under them instead, she suggests using a professional laundry service. 'Some items are simply too bulky, delicate, or time-consuming to tackle at home,' she says.

Don't overwork your AC — experts say 'pre-cooling' your home is the best way to keep your energy bills low

The summer sun has well and truly arrived, and if you're depending on your air conditioning to keep your home bearable, you could also be hit with a hefty energy bill in the weeks to come. But according to expert Joseph Holman, CEO of Green Doors, there's a simple routine you can follow to significantly lower the temperature of your home, no AC needed. Even if you do have access to central air or air conditioning, this routine will heavily reduce your dependency on it — lowering your energy consumption and giving your AC a well-deserved break. It's called "pre-cooling", and it involves protecting your home from those harsh rays of sun when they're at their strongest. "The aim is to block sunlight before it enters the room, because the closer the sun's rays reach the interior, the more it heats up. Joseph Holman, CEO of sustainable door and window company Green Doors, said: 'The way you need to think about this is that you need to stop the sunlight directly entering your home as soon as possible." "The aim is to block sunlight before it enters the room, because the closer the sun's rays reach the interior, the more it heats up." This involves creating a routine where you keep windows open and curtains drawn when the air outside is cooler than it is inside, but as soon as temperatures ramp up outside, you close off your doors and windows to the effect of the sun. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'So, keeping a window open at night makes sense, but then you want to draw the blinds before the sunlight comes shining through the windows. You also want to close the windows in the morning too." It's a simple concept, which readers observed when we shared the "caveman method" as an effective cooling technique this summer, but there are some factors you should consider when adapting this routine to your home. This fan is the perfect companion for hot weather. It's portable, rechargeable, can be used indoors or outdoor and comes with a detachable misting tank that'll cool you down even further. In our Shark FlexBreeze review, we said: "It cools you off like a cucumber in a lux grocery store". And with a $50 saving, it's an excellent deal for such a premium product. U.K.-based readers can also pick up a great saving on the FlexBreeze when shopping direct at Shark. This £30 saving is pretty generous considering how fast fans are selling out nationwide, and it's a heatwave staple that will come in handy year after year. "If you have a window facing east, then that's going to warm up first", says Holman. So consider the windows in your home which are most likely to receive the full force of the sun in the morning, and act to keep the sun from entering them. And when it comes to choosing the right blinds to keep the sun at bay? 'The best type of blinds would be external sun louvre blinds, which is why they are so popular in hot areas like southern Italy and France. They are, however, expensive to install." "If you have a window facing east, then that's going to warm up first" 'The second-best option is integral blinds, which are inside the glazing panes themselves and are operated via a pull-down cord or magnet. They let only one layer of glass heat up, so they stop a lot of light. These, however, are again very costly." 'The cheapest and most popular option is internal thermal blinds that are installed on the inside. Honeycomb blinds are the best in this category, and considerably reduce solar heat." And when it comes to choosing the right blinds, there's more than one type to consider. You should also think carefully about the color you choose. You may think that a dark-colored blind will be most effective at keeping the sun at bay, but according to Holman, 'no matter the blinds, you need them to be white or neutral colors on the side facing the sun, to reduce the most amount of heat." 'For an even cheaper option, installing Solar Reflective Film directly onto glass panes also substantially reduces the heat. You want a house that you enjoy living in all year round, and that can be a sustainable decision."

It's a cruel twist of fate that iced coffee sweats as much as we do in the summer. Olay Super Serum Body Wash (the body wash version of Olay's cult favorite facial Super Serum) — this is so soothing it's basically gonna feel like giving your dry skin a niacinamide-forward bottle of red, with notes of shea butter and a whiff of collagen peptides that'll treat your ~full body~ to 24-hour hydration when summer has you feeling dehydrated from head to toe. Ahhh, drink that all in. A cooling blanket brilliantly knit with fibers that *absorb* body heat so you can stay covered without melting this summer. One side is a classic cotton and the other side has an ~Arc-Chill~ fabric that's literally cool to the touch. Ahem, cool. Burt's Bees sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil to soothe and hydrate your skin if, despite your best efforts, you end up with a brutal sunburn sometime this summer. Feel at ease knowing this is at-the-ready if you end up turning into a lobster and need a little help feeling soothed. A portable, bladeless stroller fan that has three speeds — this can attach to more than just a stroller, which is great if you find yourself needing to share the fan with your mini-me when your breezy beach vacation seems to be a little light on the breeze. A Coola scalp and hair sunscreen mist with SPF 30 so you don't get dandruff and dry skin peeling from a sunburned hair part. Not only will it help prevent sunburns, but it's also formulated to protect your hair from sun damage. Use this as the finishing touch on your daily haircare and you're gonna be g2g! Great. Or a lightweight UPF 50+ protective running hat to keep your face and head extra protected while also keeping the sun out of your eyes. Spiffy. Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with a gorgeous gardenia scent and a formula that'll give you the satisfying clean your hair needs with a lil' keratin treatment thrown in. This'll help protect against the frizz and breakage spring humidity inevitably brings. Plus, the packaging'll make your bathroom counter look beautiful all on its own. A travel brush with a hidden compartment, sure to be looked upon with envy by your overpacked travel buddies as they desperately try to find some open space on the counter of your hotel bathroom. Trying to fit seven people in two rooms has not worked out as well as your friends thought it would. But hey, *you've* got a brush with enough room for toothpaste and tampons! You're doing great. A hidden fly trap you plug into an outlet when you have house flies, fruit flies, moths, or gnats crawling around. The little light lures bugs by up to 400 feet (!!!), and the sneaky design means this thing'll be blastin' bugs by the dozen without ruining your room's clean aesthetic. An oscillating tower fan with six speeds (we're talkin' up to 24 feet per second velocity), three modes, and a surprisingly quiet design despite its power. If you're intimidated by installing an A.C. in your fourth-floor gonna be a big fan of this gadget. A mason jar cold brew maker so you can have a bold cup of cold brew from the comfort of your kitchen counter. Reviewers also love using this when making iced tea, which is the *first* thing I will be drinking once it's finally warm enough for a cold drink. A 12-pack of electrolyte drinks from Biolyte — these have a whopping 6.5x more electrolytes than traditional sports drinks, and they're formulated to help with the cramps, fatigue, and other issues that spring up from general dehydration. If you find yourself losing your personality when uncomfortably parched during a day outdoors, these are here to spring you back to life with a sip! Or a bag of cotton candy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets, with three times the electrolytes of a typical sports drink, great for packing on long hikes, recovering after a run, and keeping close during long days strolling in the sun. Honestly, you may just wanna keep these in your bag 24/7. An anti-humidity spray that'll work like a waterproof barrier on your hair (a harrier, if you will) to block out moisture in the air that leads to frizziness. There's no need to be doing your hair every dang day (or even several times a day) because of humidity! And feel free to give your hair a good wash after a sweaty day... this stuff lasts up to 72 hours and through 2–3 shampoos! A pair of reusable silicone nipple covers designed for all the dresses that feel like they're ruined by a bra. These are also totally waterproof, so there will be no need to ~sweat it~ in these. And finally, a tabletop picnic basket made of bamboo, covered in canvas fabric, and filled with enough dishware for four hungry folks. When opened, the lid of the basket has a curved leg that'll extend to the ground, creating a solid top for your food. Not only that, but the tabletop has four round cutouts specifically to keep your wineglasses upright no matter what surface you're sitting on. This takes care of everything you need to serve up a picnic, so you can just zone out while making your famous pasta salad. You already have everything else you need. And? It's cute.
