Sorry Taylor, no champagne problems here, only champagne solutions.
1. An Able basketweave backpack I ~personally~ can endorse as an A+ bag companion for your champagne era. It's cute, goes with everything, and is so delightfully roomy without being bulky. I can fit my iPad, a couple of books, my paper planner, and snacks for me and my preschooler with room to spare!
Nordstrom
Price: $278
2. A copper and gold winged corkscrew so you can open your bottles with the utmost style and the utmost ease.
3. A Blundstone Chelsea boot if you want a stylish shoe that's also a workhorse. Blundstones are from the great Down Under, so know they're designed to last many champagne eras.
Nordstrom
I just got my first pair of these after *much* research on a boot that was going to hold up over several seasons. A handy sizing tip from the Blundstone community: half sizes for this brand are more an indication of width. So, if you are a size 9 but want a wider fit, go with a 9.5. It'll give you a little more wiggle room without lengthening the shoe itself!
So far, I LOVE these. They're easy to break in, and they look great with jeans, long winter dresses, and my fave overalls.
4. A Béis carry-on roller bag perfect for all those vision board vacations on the horizon. This one includes a TSA-approved lock, 360 swivel wheels, and built-in compression straps to help you pack as much as possible into your new overhead-bin-friendly travel pal.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"This bag is GOATed. I recently used this for a two-week trip to Europe — three cities in two weeks. (I should note I packed my toiletries in my personal item.) I wanted to pack exclusively carry-on as I would be using different modes of transportation through the EU. Using packing cubes, I was able to bring plenty of clothes and two pairs of shoes. The padded handle is such a great, thoughtful touch. Especially navigating the ancient, cobblestoned streets of Europe. If you're on the fence about purchasing this functional and sleek bag, hopefully this review convinced you. Based on how much I love this suitcase. I recently purchased the large check-in for my domestic trips. And bought this one as a gift. 10/10 recommend!" — spro927
5. And a charming Maison de Sabré leather AirTag charm to go with it! This transforms your bulky tracker into a drool-worthy accessory that will have you wondering what else you need to keep track of with AirTags in your life.
Nordstrom
6. A famous Dyson Airwrap multi-styling tool for trying all those hairstyles you've seen around TikTok. If you're in your luxe era and want to take your hair game to the next level, this is a very good place to start.
Nordstrom
Here's a quick TikTok tutorial if you want to see it in action!
Promising review:"I bought one of these for my salon. After using it there, I loved it so much that I bought another one for my home use. There is a learning curve; give yourself time, and you will love it too. For those who cannot get the curls to stay, use a styling product with curl memory, take smaller sections, use the cool shot, and don't run hands through your hair until it is ice cold." — HairStyler
7. A pair of Madewell ballet flats so you can get on the coquette-style train with many color options that will elevate just about any outfit in your closet.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"This review is for the color Vintage Ink in suede. These sold out twice on Madewell last year and I wasn't able to get them. I haven't been able to get them out of my mind since. I just happened to look at the Greta's on a whim here at Nordstrom, and they had them! The color is just as beautiful as I imagined them to be. I have several pairs of these in different colors, and I don't know why people say they run big. I am a solid 6 in most shoes, and they fit perfectly. I've not had any quality issues with any of them so far. If you are lucky enough to score this color in your size, you won't regret it." — Lynne66
8. A pair of Waterford crystal champagne flutes because what even is your champagne era if you don't have the cutest, sparkliest champagne glasses with which to toast your upgrade efforts?
Nordstrom
Promising review:"These flutes are incredibly beautiful and fragile. I purchased these for my granddaughter's wedding. They are so elegant I have decided to buy her a full set plus cocktail glasses. If you love Waterford, you will love these flutes. Would highly recommend." — gemlady
9. An Aura digital photo frame if you're like me and take tons of pictures but forget to, you know, look at them. This frame makes it absurdly easy to display your faves in your home without having to scroll endlessly through your phone. Plus, you can invite collaborators, so family and friends can add *their* favorites to the lineup, too!
Nordstrom
Like the review mentions below, this would also make a great gift if you're trying to help the people in your life usher in their champagne eras, too!
Promising review:"This was a wonderful Mother's Day gift! It was easy to set up and easy to add photographs. I love that other family members can also add their pictures. We all live in different parts of the country, and I feel connected through the photo slide show. Also, a nice way to keep all of those pictures taken on our phones!" — Denise Clack
10. A Jo Malone London wood sage and sea salt cologne I was influenced to buy (you guessed it) on TikTok. The smell is fresh without being too sweet, and the base scent of sage makes it warm and cozy with a touch of ruggedness, so you can stand out in any perfume-loving crowd!
Nordstrom
ALSO, you can get this scent in a candle??? I did *not* know this was possible, but I'm putting it in my cart posthaste. POSTHASTE, I SAY. There is also a sample set if you want to try a few of Jo Malone's offerings first!
Promising reviews:"I just love this scent… I wear it every day!" — LEMSki
"Jo Malone makes beautiful, clean, non-chemically smelling scents. I introduced my daughter to this scent, and it's become her 'signature' scent. This classic will take her through her entire life. Trends come and go, but Jo Malone will be beautiful always." — crcham
11. An Anastasia Beverly Hills brow definer that'll make it look like you just visited the salon but without the price tag. (Who doesn't want a mini brow salon in their handbag???)
Nordstrom
Promising review:"I've been using the Anastasia Soft Brown Eyebrow Pencil for over five years, and I absolutely love it! The larger size is a game changer for me — it's so much easier to use compared to the smaller versions. The formula is smooth, and the color is perfect for achieving that natural look. Highly recommend this product for anyone looking to enhance their eyebrows with ease!" — Tombonz
12. A guiding star signet ring made of 18-karat gold plated on sterling silver to help you keep your goals at the front of your mind and the tips of your fingers. (Well, the knuckles of your fingers, anyway, but that doesn't quite roll off the tongue.)
Nordstrom
13. A Topshop cable-knit cardigan because if 2025 is the year of the fisherman aesthetic, you can get ahead of the trend now in the coziest way possible by throwing this in your cart.
Nordstrom
14. A luxe ponytail cuff holder if you're like me and wish you could make your go-to pony look a little more put together without any extra effort.
Nordstrom
15. A tiger graphic tee to give your closet a quintessential touchstone (who doesn't need a fave go-to tee?) you'll miss every time it's in the wash.
16. A deco-style crystal hinge bracelet with a serpentine aesthetic that will inspire you to seize the day during this champagne era (and every era thereafter) whenever you wear it.
Nordstrom
Speaking of eras, this will be perfectly decadent and subtle to celebrate Reputation TV when our girl Swift finally releases it!
17. A soft Zella tank top you can layer or wear all on its own to your fave workout class or to look fab while running errands.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"This is my all-time favorite workout tank. It is so soft, and provides a bit more coverage/length than the Lululemon Love tank. I own several. It washes beautifully. Thank you for bringing it back!" — Akimoto
18. A soft and slouchy tote bag too perfect to ever go out of style, so you know your cost-per-wear on this is going to be out of this world and in your budget.
19. A pair of Dearfoams cable-knit chenille slippers with a faux fur cuff and fleece footbed, because if a champagne era doesn't include being as cozy as possible, I don't want it.
20. A luxurious santal and vetiver body wash reviewers call "heaven in a bottle" because of the scent and texture. I, for one, would like my shower to feel more spa-like, no matter my era!
Nordstrom
Promising reviews:"The most luxurious body wash, the most wonderful scent. It feels like a luxury spa! Won't use anything else." — KLBKLB
"It's heaven in a bottle. Love the fragrance of the body wash. Spa-like feel." — Skybarbie5
Price: $36
21. A crochet wool hat that's giving main character energy in the best way. The colors, vintage '70s vibe, and handcrafted construction ensure this pom-pom beanie will never go out of style, so why not snag both colorways while you're champagne-ing?
Nordstrom
Promising review:"I was a little skeptical at first, thinking this hat would not meet my expectations. Much to my surprise, it not only met but exceeded my expectations. Absolutely LOVE it. I have received many compliments. Fits perfectly and is fully lined." — Hippie Soul
22. A water-resistant anorak with a hood and huge front-zip pocket so you and your cute outfit can stay dry (and cute) no matter how aggressive the deluge is.
Nordstrom
Price: $115 (available in sizes XS–XL and in two styles)
23. A Lancôme powder blush if you want to reapply your blush throughout the day but don't want to haul around a full-sized brush in your bag. How cute is this little compact? It is the height of sophistication to take this cutie out of your bag and get those cheeks back to rosy in no time!
Nordstrom
Promising reviews:"No one is talking about these blushes, but they are WOW. Such an airbrushed quality to them and what a beautiful shade." — thecandyqueen
"I love the Rose Romantique and the Cosmopolitan Pink. Both are great for my skin tone. The Rose Romantique is subtle, and the Cosmo Pink is a great pop of color. I apply lightly to the apple of my cheeks. It lasts and is not drying. The compact lasts a long time and is worth the investment. Sheer and natural-looking, my favorite blush." — whocareswhoiam
Price: $34 (available in three shades)
24. A Tweezerman tweezer set with a cute lil' carrying case so you never have to worry about a stray hair ruining your look while you're on the go again.
Nordstrom
Tweezerman also has a manicure set if you're looking to up your self-care game further!
Promising review:"I saw the Tweezerman set and thought, 'What a great stocking stuffer gift for my two daughters and daughter-in-law.' I liked that there was a case for the tweezers. I have my tweezerman tweezers in my makeup kit, and I am always searching for them. The girls loved them and remarked how it was a gift that they wouldn't buy for themselves. I have used Tweezerman tweezers for years, and they are of very good quality." — UniqueGiftsMom
Price: $28
25. A cozy pair of crew socks giving major après-ski vibes to keep your toesies warm and fashionable while lounging at home or popping out of your new boots.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"Exactly what I was looking for. Soft comfortable socks that I can lounge in." — MotherJoy
Price: $12 (available in two styles)
26. A Zwilling sous vide stick that can attach to your own pot and cook your meat perfectly without touching your stove. It's practically a magic cooking wand, which I'm pretty sure qualifies as the ultimate champagne-era kitchen tool.
Nordstrom
Price: $169.99 (available in two colors)
27. A Free People packable puffer jacket that's perfectly on trend and foldable so that you can take it wherever the wind blows you. (But without actually feeling the cold wind blow, you know?)
Nordstrom
Promising review:"This jacket is pricey, but it is my favorite jacket of jackets! SO warm, lightweight, and it can fold into an inside pocket (12" by 14") if you want to pack it for travel. I love this jacket for its warmth, fit, and smart style. I ordered large because I usually layer. Some might think it is too oversized, but it has definite style!" — Yam4002
Price: $198 (available in sizes S–XL and in six colors)
28. A Nodpod weighted sleep mask if you love weighted blankets but wish you could have the same feeling on your eyes while you sleep. Wish no more! The Nodpod is one of those "How did I live without this?" products you'll be so happy you welcomed into your champagne-era sleeping situation.
Nordstrom
Promising reviews:"I didn't know how much I needed this. The weight is soothing, and the design is awesome. I can use it sleeping on my back and also as a side sleeper. One side is velvety, and one is like a jersey. I sleep more deeply and fall asleep faster." — ClassicFunMomIL
"I work night shifts in the hospital. I used to sleep in a…closet. I've tried everything, and FINALLY, I can sleep in bed during the day. It's the weight and the light-blocking together that make it just right for me. Five stars all the way!" — sleepydoctor
Price: $34 (available in five colors)
29. A smart Pura car scent diffuser that'll make you forget your car ever smelled like fast food or wet dog. With an app that lets you control the strength of your scent and reminds you when it's time to change the wow-we're-in-the-future scent disks, this thing is a dream for anyone who has ever wanted their car to smell a little more like a home away from home.
Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed
Pura has SO many great scent options, including the cult-fave Capri Blue Volcano, which is the first one I grabbed when I bought this! Oh, and did I mention the diffuser knows when your car is moving and will automatically shut off when it's not in motion to save battery life and scent disks? TRULY a magical addition to my fam's car.
According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.
Price: $64.99
30. A cotton twill pajama set with an actual champagne print option so you can really commit to being comfy while also staying on theme.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"I got these PJs for my granddaughter, and she loves them! They are a very nice, flannel-feeling material and have pockets in the pants. For the price point, they seriously can't be beat! I would highly recommend!" — Lorrux
Price: $44.20+ (originally $68, available in sizes XS–XL and in six styles)
31. An Original Makeup Eraser headband and wristband set because hair getting stuck in your skincare and water dripping down your arms while you wash your face are not invited to your glow-up era party.
Nordstrom
Promising reviews:"I love the quality of these and I'm happy that I purchased them. It makes doing my skincare routine much better. Very reasonably priced as well." — salequeen
"Love this!! No more drips down my arms when I wash my face." — Lori
Price: $15 (available in two colors)
32. A two-pack of the famous Nordstrom decaf whole bean coffee in their signature espresso blend so your mornings can all smell like the Nordstrom cafe.
Nordstrom
Promising review:"This is outstanding espresso. It is full-bodied without being the least bit acidic or bitter-tasting. It actually does have a subtle chocolatey flavor to it, as advertised. I do wish there was an option to purchase a single bag at a time for freshness; that would be my only complaint. That said, these bags are well sealed, and as they are only 12 ounces each, I go through them pretty quickly anyway." — Tmcl
Price: $29 for a two-pack (also available in caffeinated)
33. And finally, a clip-on LED makeup mirror to ensure you look optimal in all of those selfies you'll be taking as you show off your best era yet!
Nordstrom
Price: $50

'Makeup meal prep' hack goes viral on TikTok: 'I'm influenced'

Her beauty hack is no longer under wraps. UK-based makeup influencer Sam Begum is dividing the Internet with her head-scratching yet speedy makeup routine: a full face of cosmetics applied to a piece of plastic wrap at night, then slapped on her face in the morning. Videos of her technique have racked up nearly 10 million views on TikTok in recent weeks. Advertisement Sam Begum's TikTok videos showing the puzzling technique have wracked up nearly 10 million views in recent weeks. sxmiabegum/ TikTok Begum, 23, starts by sticking a clean piece of plastic to her naked face, then applies foundation, concealer, blush and bronzer onto the film, then sets it aside. The next morning, she finishes the routine by reversing the plastic and placing the side with the cosmetics on her face. Advertisement The warpaint initially appears blotchy and out of whack, until Begum uses a puffy makeup brush to blend it in and applies setting powder over the top. A lip gloss pulls it all together — all while Begum walks out of her apartment building. @sxmiabegum anything for an extra 20 mins in bed🫶🏽 @Lancôme foundation @Saie blush @Diorbeauty stick contour @Huda Beauty lip oil ♬ original sound – Mell ❤︎︎ 'Girl mathing 20 more minutes in bed,' reads the caption of one of her videos showing the technique, which has amassed over seven million views since it was posted June 30. Advertisement The once-viral hashtag 'Girl Math' trend refers to the illogical ways women justify purchases – or, in this case, more time in mattress mode. Some TikTokers are inspired by the glam game-changer. Some TikTokers felt inspired by the glam game-changer, while it 'pissed off' others. sxmiabegum/ TikTok 'Meal prepping makeup,' one person mused in the comments.

'Imagine all the bacteria on that foil and all the bacteria you absorb on the street while blending it all,' one person pointed out, along with the crying face emoji. In a July 14 video, Begum urged her followers to create a hole in the mouth area of the plastic wrap if they decide to test out her technique. 'Don't knock it till u try [it]!' she wrote. Begum did not respond to requests for comment.

Man Gets Lego Gift After Fighting Brain Cancer—What He Builds Shocks Wife

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For a couple online, grand romantic gestures take focused mental work—but they are so worth it. In a TikTok video, Alli Young revealed the simple, yet elaborate, act of her husband, Brett, delivering her water bottle via a massive Lego crane—something she said truly defines their relationship. Young told Newsweek about the engineering feat that has gone viral with over 223,000 likes. "Oh, your man likes to go out and party and doesn't text you back for hours on end? That's cool, mine delivers me my water bottle via a Lego crane that he spent all weekend building," Young captioned the video, which shows the large, intricate Lego crane delivering her bottle. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. @allliyoung/TikTok Young, who described her husband as a "huge LEGO collector since he was a kid," shared that Brett boasts a collection of around 150,000 pieces. The specific crane featured in the video was a Father's Day gift from her. "He spent every spare second over two days building it," Young said. "He works in construction management." While Young herself admitted she has never been into Lego, she said she deeply appreciates Brett's passion: "When he builds something he's proud of, it always makes me happy to see," she added. "It's like he gets transported back to being a little kid, and it's honestly just very fun to watch." The nine-second clip, Young said, offers a glimpse into the couple's unique dynamic. "You get a good idea of who we are, which sounds dumb, but hear me out," she added, describing Brett as "very meticulous and likes things done a certain way," while she is "the more extroverted, 'out there' one." The water-bottle delivery perfectly illustrates their balance of personalities, Young said: "Me asking him to bring me my water bottle and him using the crane to do it is his fun, playful side, but then you watch him at the end looking around the corner to make sure it makes it over the rug—back to his meticulous side showing through." Inspired by the overwhelming positive response to the video, Young said that Brett has now started his own TikTok account to show off more of his Lego collection. The story behind Brett's dedication to Lego, though, goes much deeper than just a hobby. Two years ago, their lives were shaken when they found out that Brett had a brain tumor. During his recovery from a craniotomy to remove the cancer, all of his friends put money together to buy him a huge Lego set to build while he was recovering. Young said she firmly believes that "the combination of doing something he loved and doing something to physically help his brain was what helped him heal." And, today, Brett is fully recovered, cancer-free and starting to teach the couple's 2-year-old daughter how to build small Lego sets. For Young, even though she doesn't fully understand the appeal of Lego, as she concluded: "I can see how much he loves it, which makes me love it just a little bit."
