A wooden planter box to finally start that home garden you've been thinking about. The future you is going to be snipping fresh greens like a pro.

I lined the bottom with landscape lining to keep grass and weeds growing, then filled it immediately with garden soil. The wood is also unfinished, so you can stain it if you'd like. I'm planning to stain them so they match my wood fence. Highly recommend." —EmilyPrice: $66.99 (originally $129.89, available in two colors and two sizes)

Or a metal fountain for a more modern look. This one comes with a stone brick accent for that spa vibe.

A weather-resistant cushion that easily fits most lounge chairs and offers a perfect, plush nap spot. This one is built to last long; just flip it occasionally to keep it looking (and feeling) fresh all season.

A cute bird feeder, because what is outdoors without the sound of birds dropping by? Hang it up, add some seeds and water, and wait for some feathered visitors to bless your backyard.

And a birdhouse, because you better arrange some post-snack accommodation for your little visitors. We make our guests feel at home here.
Promising review: "This birdhouse is still standing and looks unweathered after 2 years. My previous birdhouse deteriorated while on the pole; it cost close to $100, but we broke down and bought this one. We are happy and our guests (birds) are happy." —ElainePrice: $134.99 (originally $195.99, available in 11 colors)

One hundred percent recommended." —David and NancyPrice: $229.99 (originally $815, available in two colors)
An outdoor doormat, because who said doormats are only for front doors? This one keeps all the post-fun dirt and debris outside. Plus, it's nonslip — let the kids run wild.
Promising review: "Thicker than the big box stores and so many other sizes. I like the layered front door mat look, but the big box coir mats were thin and flimsy and too small for our front entry. This mat was thick enough that it quickly lay flat, and the size I chose is great." —Jacqueline Price: $25.99+ (originally $29.95+, available in 13 sizes)
A metal fence panels set to add a bit more structure to your yard and keep your furry friends from running away. And no, you don't have to be a pro to install these.
This set includes 25 fence panels.Promising review: "Great fence! Sturdy enough to discourage my dogs from going into the flower bed while being pretty to look at. Installing the fencing is easy; however, there is some assembly required before you can put up the fence, which was a little time-consuming. Overall, I would buy this product again!!" —Linda Price: $63.10 (originally $71.72)
A cart cooler with wheels to serve drinks fresh and cold. It doubles as a serving station and even has a warming function to keep your food toasty. Cold fries should honestly be banned after this.
Promising review: "Looks good, has nice weight. Follow-up — we have had this cooler for over a year — we use it every time we are in the backyard kitchen. Our adult grandchildren use it to keep their adult drinks cool/cold. It is very easy to drain and wipe out. So far, it is standing up to our AZ heat." —James Price: pre-order it for $179.95 (originally $231.56)
A large tilt umbrella that moves according to you, not the other way around. It is weather-resistant, so you won't have to drag it inside the moment a single drop of rain dares to fall.
Promising review: "The umbrella is big, sturdy, and bold. We bought it to cover our dining set and chairs. It joins our carpets, adding a pop of color against our blue house and our new grey patio. We also have the Renya 40 lb umbrella base, which holds it nicely and firmly." —MartaPrice: $117.99 (available in five colors)
A two-person hammock, because you don't have to go to a beach resort to enjoy a lazy afternoon with that Colleen Hoover book you've already read way too many times.
Promising review: "Absolutely love the hammock. Everything I've bought from Wayfair has been excellent quality." —LisaPrice: $82.95 (originally $103.99, available in nine colors)
Or a porch swing, if the hammock makes you fall asleep instantly. This one's got a cozy seat and can even be placed indoors.
Promising review: "Absolutely love the chair. Sturdy quality. Highly recommend it. Assembly is easy. It comes folded in half and is hard to squeeze together while putting in the bolt that holds it on your own. Two people would make quick work of assembling it. Doable with one person with strong hands or clamps. Great addition to our deck! Ordered two more as a group wedding gift too!" —Michelle Price: $306.99 (originally $344.99, available in six colors)
A bench that hides a secret storage compartment. Toss those cushions, toys, and tools within a few minutes at the end of the day. Got unexpected guests? They'll never guess you cleaned up in record time!
Promising review: "Awesome storage bench! Love it, went together with ease, and the pieces fit correctly! I cannot attest to the waterproof effect since it hasn't been in the rain to date! The bench is very sturdy, and the storage area is quite adequate to store my pillows and accessories! Adding a cushion and some pillows just brings it up a notch….very attractive! I'm delighted with this item and can highly recommend it! Better than any deck box I've ever had and at 78 years old, I've had my share…this outshines them all!" —Selma Price: $123.69 (originally $199.99, available in three colors)
A smokeless firepit, perfect for those long nights where ghost stories are a must. S'mores are optional, but highly encouraged.
Promising review: "Amazing fire table! Arrived very well packaged, aesthetically pleasing, great size, and overall happy with the purchase! The propane tank holder is nice as a side table as well!" —KourtneyPrice: $709.99 (original price $789.99, available in two colors)
A wind chime to channel some carefree energy. This one plays the soothing "Amazing Grace" melody, adding a peaceful background vibe to your space.
Promising review: "I love the sound. Of the tranquility of the chimes that play 'Amazing Grace,' best investment I got on this chime." —KathyPrice: $39.99 (originally $45.99, available in three sizes and two colors)
A foldable dog pool, because why should you have all the fun alone? It folds into a plastic carry case and is made of rugged, heavy-duty materials that can handle all that furry excitement.
Promising review: "I love this little pool for my puppies. They can cool off on a hot summer day, and they have fun. It folds away so I can store it easily...A good purchase..." —MollyPrice: $38.99+ originally $46.99, available in three sizes and two colors)
A portable projector screen to make weekends fun. Watch your favorite movies or catch up on the latest shows under the stars — such a fun date-night idea!

Promising review: "Excellent quality and gorgeous look! I got five of them, and it completely changed my backyard. I used to block my side view and use it as my garden. Perfection! I highly recommend it! I also added a green panel on its black to block completely the view from the neighbors outside. It turned out beautiful!" —DianaPrice: $129.99 (originally $220.89, available in two colors)

Every Selena Gomez Hair Era, From Teen Waves to the Sleek Platinum Bob
Few can say they skipped past the awkward teen phase of questionable makeup choices and embarrassing hair moments, but Selena Gomez is one of them. Journeying through a decades worth of TV episodes, music videos, red carpet appearances, and Instagram posts is far more inspiring than it is cringe-worthy. The big-bounce curly blow-dry I'm still trying to master? She perfected it back in 2010. Her lived-in caramel balayage and wispy bangs of 2016? I'm taking it to my hairdresser this month. 'Selena has this amazing ability to switch effortlessly from one genre to another,' says Neale Rodger, style director at STIL Salon in London. 'She's mastered retro waves, sleek, center-parted lobs, ashy blondes, retro-inspired updos, supermodel lengths, full-coverage bangs…practically everything.' Though the Rare Beauty founder has never strayed far from her chocolate tresses, she's served up heaps of hairstyle inspiration since she arrived on TV screens in 2007, and each look is as covetable and copy-worthy today as it was then. Whether it's her chest-length natural curls in 2014, her blonde experiments in 2017, or the chic tousled lob she recently debuted, where better to look than the Gomez archives when your brunette lengths are in need of a facelift? Ahead, we've curated a timeline of Gomez's most iconic hair looks from her Wizards of Waverly Place days to now. Congratulations, Sel! We all know how important a crisp, understated mani is when we hear wedding bells, but she also reminded us to remember our hairdo. Her baroque bob is fairly simple: it's a one-length, blunt cut, but it's the styling that sets it apart. Blown-out and flicked-in, its name derives from the elaborate charm of early 17th-century art and architecture. 'Health and wealth signaling are two key themes in hair trends at the moment, and this luxurious yet modern look ticks both boxes very well,' shares hair forecaster Tom Smith. She turned heads with her shoulder-grazing long bob at the world premiere of the new Disney spin-off show, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. With a singular loose wave, positioned skillfully beside her jaw to enhance and define her face shape, this lob screams elegance and sophistication. Her equestrian-style ponytail was a standout red carpet moment at the Emilia Pérez premiere, which took place at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival. Neatly slicked and elegantly perched at the crown of her head, this sleek updo is incredibly glamorous and complimented her off-the-shoulder gown perfectly. Looking to put a new-season twist on your monochrome tresses? Feather a honey blonde hue in and around the hair. It adds subtle dimension and feels different enough when you look in the mirror, without completely transforming your look. Gomez demonstrates that perfectly here. The French-girl bob has never looked so chic. It has enough Parisian charm and sultry, just-rolled-out-of-bed texture to last a lifetime. To recreate the look at home, lift the hair away from the face and mist a texturizing spray into the roots. Or, just roll out of bed! At this 2019 meet-and-greet in California, Gomez proved that brunette balayage really can be subtle. Not a blonde strand in sight; instead, her inky roots graduate into a mousy hazel-brown, adding depth without stark demarcation. Who remembers blond Selena? Spotted out and about in London in 2017, the megastar styled her newly buttered lengths into a boho-style wave and with wispy full fringe. Brunettes, take note: incorporating a root smudge is key to masking harsh regrowth if you're considering taking the platinum plunge. The bangs that made us all want bangs. We're still obsessed with her wispy fringe and syrupy caramel balayage era. At Louis Vuitton's cruise 2016 show in California, Gomez subbed her signature chestnut hue for this near-black shade. Loosely crimped to add natural texture? Very 2015. Some may say Gomez was ahead of her time with these copper-brown highlights. Playing to her hair's natural undertone, these ultra-warm strands instantly add depth and dimension without being overwhelming. For the 2011 American Music Awards, Gomez tried an Old Hollywood curl on for size, paired with a swept side part and a finish so glossy it's literally reflecting light. Perhaps my favorite look of all. The 22nd Annual MuchMusic Video Awards in 2011 saw Gomez sport a tighter ringlet-style curl than she'd worn previously. To replicate this look, resist brushing your curls out once cooled and apply hairspray to set them in place. The highly covetable blow-dry in question. Gomez was in her element at the 2010 Wizards of Waverly Place fashion show, where her natural chocolate strands were perfectly coiffed into a voluminous, bouncy curl. Her layers serve this style well, adding body and shape to give the appearance of thicker hair. In 2009, Gomez debuted a rounded bob with a thin side-fringe and fine, golden highlights. This shapely crop would go on to become her go-to hairstyle, experimenting with various fringes, lengths, and textures to boot. The 2008 NCLR Alma Awards saw Gomez gather her glossy espresso tresses into a loose bun, fit with a swooping side-fringe. Asymmetry was all the rage in 2008: think ponytails, fringes, plaits, and buns all worn off-center. Perhaps her most iconic and internet-famous hairstyle of all? This electric blue moment for the 2007 Teen Vogue Party, of course (cue the viral interview clip). A very Alex Russo move, if you ask us.

WNBA star Caitlin Clark says a kid-friendly ritual helps her manage stress
Caitlin Clark, 23, enjoys a good old Disney movie whenever she wants to unwind. The WNBA star's pregame ritual also involves journaling and listening to calming music. But "there's no better rest and recovery than just straight up sleeping," she said. Caitlin Clark handles a high-pressure game the same way a parent might soothe a meltdown: with some calming music and a Disney movie. During an All-Star Weekend event held in Indianapolis on Saturday, the WNBA star spoke to Glamour about how she takes care of her mental and physical health as a pro athlete. Clark said that one of her favorite ways to manage stress is rewatching Disney classics. "The other day I watched 'The Parent Trap,' which literally never gets old, even though I know every single word in it," Clark, 23, said. Even though the latest season of "Love Island" was a viral hit, the basketball player says it's just not her thing. "I watched the first episode but couldn't get into it. Maybe it was too cringe for me? And it takes a lot of time — there's a new episode like every single day! I just couldn't do it." Instead of blasting hard-hitting tunes, her pre-game ritual is all about calming melodies or no music at all. The Indiana Fever player also enjoys journaling before each game, a habit that helps her clear her head and stay focused on her goal. "It makes me really intentional about what I want to accomplish and is a good reset if I'm feeling nervous or anxious about the game, to kind of wipe that away," she said. Whenever she can, Clark unwinds with a round of golf. While traveling for games, she also takes evening walks and tries new restaurants with her teammates. Being in the public eye isn't easy, and that's why she also checks in regularly with the sports psychologist on staff. "I don't just talk about things that stress me out but also the joys in my life, and that's always a good reminder and reset for me," Clark said. But her favorite tip for staying in tip-top shape? A good night's rest. "I've obviously done everything under the sun, but there's no better rest and recovery than just straight up sleeping," Clark said. As she recovers from a groin injury, she said she has come to truly understand the value of self-care. "This is the first time I haven't felt like a young body that can run around and sprint every day and just continue to do that," Clark said. "Being a professional athlete, you really have to take care of both your body and your mind — it's been a journey learning about that." As of Tuesday, Clark has missed 11 regular-season games due to various injuries, per ESPN. She never missed a game during her four years playing for the University of Iowa or during her rookie WNBA season in 2024. Clark isn't the only athlete who has spoken about the ways they cope with the pressure and take care of their health. Simone Biles said she saw her therapist ahead of the 2024 Olympic gymnastics team final, where she and her team went on to win gold. "At the beginning of the day, I started off with therapy this morning, so that was super exciting. I told her I was feeling calm and ready and that's kind of exactly what happened," Biles said to reporters after the competition. Masters champion Rory McIlroy says he overcomes performance anxiety by visualizing the worst-case scenario. "For whatever reason, imagining the worst-case scenario gave me a level of comfort because I felt like any worst-case scenario that I could bring up in my head, I'd be able to deal with," he said during an April appearance on "The Whoop Podcast." A representative for Clark did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Read the original article on Business Insider
