34 Products You Should Buy Now If You Want Your Home Clean And Tidy All Year Long
The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning paste — which will take your sink, furniture, and tiles from grimy to shiny with the help of a little elbow grease. A turntable that puts a spin (pun intended) on the classic lazy Susan — it has removable compartments! Now, you'll have a proper place for all of your various granola bars instead of cluttering your cabinet with bulky cardboard boxes. A screen-cleaning brush, because what good is a window if you can't even see out of it?! If your windows need a good deep cleaning, you can wet this with soap and water to break down stubborn grime. Then use it dry for the rest of the year once you see any dirt start to accumulate. A bathroom storage tower so you can FINALLY make use of that weird space between the toilet and sink. This has a special slot for tissues and a surprisingly spacious cabinet for essentials like toilet paper, soap, and any other toiletries — so all your clutter will be contained and hidden away. A wood polish and conditioner to bring your furniture back to life. Its magical blend of orange oil, beeswax, and Brazilian carnauba oil will help to break down water spots and restore wood to its former shiny glory.

It has slots for three different tools, a compartment in the back for power cords, and there's a helpful hook so you can hang it over your towel rack! A super convenient flip-top end table so you'll have a discreet place to store all the random remotes, charger cords, pens, and other items that typically end up scattered all over your living room.

The outside features two tiered towel racks, while the inside has plenty of space for cutting boards, aluminum foil, food storage lids, or anything else you want to keep contained. A pack of foil liners to catch all of the grease and oil splatters that basically do a full acrobatic routine in the air and land right under your gas stove top's burners.

Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges that are perfectly sized to fit right underneath the burner, so you can wave goodbye to scrubbing that pasta sauce that accidentally spilled over.

A set of airtight food storage containers with reusable chalkboard labels to have your cabinets looking so immaculate that even Khloé Kardashian would be jealous. The four-sided seal on the lids will keep your dry goods fresh, and they're also leakproof, so you can store liquids with zero worry about stains or spills. A slicker brush that'll not only clean the crumbs and dust hiding in your blankets and rugs, but will also detangle and fluff to make them look brand new again! It's designed to work on sheepskin, wool, cashmere, merino, and faux fur. A cordless stick vacuum with LED lights to illuminate all the hidden dust you had no idea was secretly covering your floor. It also adjusts its suction strength depending on the floor type (so you can easily switch between hardwood and carpeted areas!), and the tangle-free brush bar means you won't spend 15 minutes afterward cutting your hair loose from the roller. Oh, and it also converts into a mini handheld vac for smaller messes! No more annoying tangled cords!!! And a Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory or making your car's seats look presentable again. Reviewers especially love this one (it's a constant best-seller on Amazon with 139,000 perfect ratings) since it only takes a few rolls back and forth to pick up the toughest pet hair, and the quick-release button makes it a breeze to remove the fur from the roller brush. A nifty shelving unit to add some extra height so you can have a place for all your random desk accessories that are making a mess and leaving you no room for your laptop. This one is particularly loved since it's made of two separate pieces, meaning you can rearrange them to fit in awkward corners and smaller spaces. A retro acrylic beauty organizer that'll keep your must-haves completely dry and dust-free thanks to the two spacious drawers and covered compartment at the top. It even has a handle, so you can carry it to another room if the bathroom lighting is just not the vibe. Plus, having your cosmetics in one spot is so much more aesthetically pleasing than scattering them on the counter like you're currently doing. Actually, now I'm just talking to myself. A super-long duster — it can reach high enough to clean your ceiling fans and vents and far enough to clean that weird space underneath your dresser. You could practically lay on the couch and speedily dust every surface around you when last-minute visitors are on their way. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids for everything from cotton swabs to hair ties to floss picks. Your essentials will be within easy reach, and the fun you have while restocking them will convince you that you're truly in your neat and tidy era. Oh, and they come with labels, which is every organized person's best friend. A genius brush and squeegee combo so you can just swipe all your countertop messes directly into the sink. It even has a built-in ledge so you can hang it when not in use. A set of over-the-door shelves for storing other smaller accessories that are scattered all over your room. Actually, you might want one of these for every door in your home. Many reviewers use it to store socks, undergarments, and other clothing items, though it's also perfect for kitchen pantries and linen closets! And a shoe rack with two super spacious shelves toward the bottom that are perfect for taller rain boots or Uggs — because those are the most susceptible to ending up in a giant, messy pile on the floor. The smaller shelves are just the right size for Chelsea boots and your most prized sneakers, so you'll be able to quickly grab your favorite pair without searching around your whole house for the matching shoe.

This viral, women-only app lets you anonymously ‘spill tea' on men—it could actually make dating harder, relationship expert says
Women across social media are buzzing about Tea, an anonymous dating-safety app where they 'spill tea' — typically gossip, secrets and juicy information— on the men they're dating. But the app has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Tea was founded in November 2022 by software engineer Sean Cook to help women feel more protected. He was inspired by his mom's bad experiences with online dating — connecting with a catfish and even a criminal, he wrote on LinkedIn. The women-only platform became available for download in 2023 with features like criminal background checks and reverse image search, and it's currently number one on the lifestyle app charts with four million users and a 4.7/5 star rating. But recently, users have shown less interest in helping and more in shaming. Some videos on TikTok, where the app is currently trending, show women giving men "red flag" and "green flag" reviews based on personal preferences like attractiveness, personality and style, even speculating about their sexuality, finances and how many partners they've had. Moreover, the app was designed to be private, as screenshots are impossible and women are vetted before being allowed access. Yet users have recorded posts for social media, opening the door for more potentially damaging, defamatory comments. That's why apps like these can backfire, says Jourdan Travers, a psychotherapist who's worked with over 100 couples. "Swiping, receiving rejections, and navigating online communication are stressful enough, and Tea sounds like the app that is trying to minimize or remove that discomfort," she tells CNBC Make It. "This initially sounds great, but it doesn't live up to the hype in practice because well-intentioned action can be harmful." Fifty-seven percent of women say that, in general, dating sites and apps are not a safe way to meet people, according to a 2022 survey from Pew Research Center. But in today's digital age, it's one of the easiest, and most popular, ways to meet people — so it's no surprise that the Tea app has garnered so many fans. "It's seductive, an app that I can use to gather information about someone I've never met," says Travers. "But in reality, it can kill curiosity and create a dating dynamic that's more about others than you. A representative for Tea declined CNBC Make It's request for comment. Travers, who is also the clinical director at telehealth company Awake Therapy, adds that using the platform in hopes of finding juicy gossip or learning every detail about a guy before your first date takes away the opportunity to use your discernment and personal intuition. It also spoils the excitement of making a first impression and building an authentic connection. "It sends a message to yourself not to trust your judgment and intuition. That you lack the capacity or capability to make decisions about your romantic life, so you need others to validate or affirm that decision instead," she says. "Once you've read something negative—whether factual or not—your brain is wired to start scanning for evidence that supports it. You're walking into the date with a script, not curiosity, and first dates shouldn't feel like a job interview." The Tea app has been a good source of information and community for lots of women, users say. One App Store review from "AnaNamle" says she was able to freely talk about a traumatic experience with a guy, and connected with another woman who had a similar, but "worse" encounter. A user called "Lala1922$" says she found out a man who was contacting her had domestic violence charges and was awaiting trial. To gain some knowledge of these kinds of red flags, some "light vetting can be protective," Travers says, like doing a quick google search or making sure that their social media profiles are legit. Other questions and concerns might be better addressed by trusted friends and family. It's also important to take a few precautionary measures before a date, like meeting in a public place for your first encounter, letting someone know where you're going and with whom beforehand and not sharing personal or sensitive information immediately. "Aside from that, let the rest unfold organically, and don't skip the part where you learn who they are," she says.

Three-Legged Foster Dog Found Covered in Scars, the Reason Breaks Hearts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. After months of fostering a street dog from Mexico, a woman was left in tears after learning the horrifying reality of where the scars on his body came from. Last summer, Alyssa Blackwell Hammond, 36, fostered a litter of puppies who got sick with canine parvovirus and almost died. It was such a challenging time, and once they had been nursed back to health, Hammond vowed to take some time away from fostering. Months later, she came across a photo of Tripp, a Tijuana mutt, and everything changed. Hammond, of San Diego, California, told Newsweek that he immediately "struck this place in [her] heart." Tripp was saved from the streets of Mexico and is thought to be around 3 years old. He was emaciated, had a leg amputated after being hit by a car, and was covered in scars. At the start of 2025, Hammond fostered Tripp and gave him a loving home when he needed it most. "He's so appreciative to have a home," Hammond said. "There's nothing like a dog who went without food, water, a home, and a warm bed because they just love to snuggle. He was just in awe of having anything. Watching his evolution makes me emotional." From left: A tearful Alyssa Blackwell Hammond holds Tripp the foster dog indoors. From left: A tearful Alyssa Blackwell Hammond holds Tripp the foster dog indoors. @dogfostering101 / TikTok Having fostered 41 dogs, Hammond started documenting her experiences on social media (@dogfostering101 on TikTok and Instagram). Indeed, after sharing videos of Tripp coming out of his shell, she was stunned to see a comment from the woman who found him on the streets. Not much was known about Tripp's past, but, after connecting with his rescuer, Hammond finally learned about the dog's traumatic experience. She was informed that the scars all over Tripp's body were from a machete attack, leaving Hammond heartbroken. "It was one thing knowing that he was hit by a car as I could mentally prepare myself for that. But to find out that this dog I loved as my own for seven months, that someone cut him all down his body, that affected me on a new level," Hammond continued. Although the wounds have healed now, many of Tripp's scars are up to an inch wide, so Hammond said she wonders just how deep they must have been. She added that he was attacked by other dogs as he has additional scarring on his head. Seeing Tripp learn to trust and grow in confidence has been so rewarding. It took him several days to realize he was safe, but he has made such incredible strides since being fostered. It is important for Hammond to share every aspect of fostering on social media. After learning what Tripp went through as a street dog, she captured an emotional video of her processing the news. Just like Hammond, internet users were distraught for Tripp, and the video has gone viral with over 1 million views and more than 165,200 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Hammond said: "I didn't think anyone cared about fostering and I didn't previously share the sad parts because there's enough sadness in the world. But what I realized is that people don't see this bond as sad. They see it as beautiful, and they're inspired by the connection we have. "It restores my faith in humanity to see people care about this little being that they have nothing to do with. This random street dog that no one cared about seven months ago was dying in a ditch, and now there are people checking on him," she continued. Following seven wonderful months with Hammond, Tripp has gone to his forever home. Fortunately, he has been adopted by a friend of a friend, so he will still be in Hammond's life. It was so special to see the connection he shares with his new owner, and Hammond knew "they were meant to be together." Saying goodbye to Tripp was emotional, but she said she found solace in knowing that she played such an important role in his recovery. Tripp has certainly left a mark on Hammond's heart, but she will continue to change lives through fostering. It remains such a necessary cause, with over 5.8 million cats and dogs winding up in U.S. shelters in 2024, according the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. While it was a happy ending for the 4.2 million shelter animals who were adopted, the same can't be said for the 607,000 animals who were euthanized last year. Hammond said she hopes that stories like Tripp's will inspire others to consider fostering a pet who needs a second chance. She added: "Places all over the world are in desperate need of fosters. And not just people who are willing to adopt, which is beautiful, but someone willing to love that dog short-term and be that safe space for them in between. If more people were willing to step up and love them for that period of time where they need someone, we could save so many animals." The clip explaining where Tripp's scars came from has generated over 4,400 comments on TikTok so far. Internet users were devastated for him, while others thanked Hammond for opening her home to him. One comment reads: "He will only know love from here on out. He will be the most spoiled baby." Another TikTok user wrote: "And still this baby cuddles a human's neck soaking in love, willing to give the human race another chance." A third person added: "Well, this shattered me. Thank you for loving him, he hit the jackpot." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!
