Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo will keep your locks looking fabulous even when you haven't found a spare moment to indulge in an 'everything shower.' It features the scent of gardenias, a built-in keratin treatment (see ya, frizz), and an aesthetically pleasing pale pink bottle you'll want to display on your bathroom counter.
Eos 24H Moisture Super Balm in a delectable marshmallow fluff flavor that'll hold you over until you can actually sit 'round a campfire and make s'mores with your pals. Oh, and it'll keep your lips feeling hydrated all day and night!
A winged eyeliner stamp to help you nail that chic liquid eyeliner look without having to remove the uneven line you drew yourself 10x. Prepare to look in the mirror and say, "wow this cat eye looks PURRfect,"
A box of limited edition Band-Aids that'll have you singing "You belong among the wildflowers" a la Tom Petty while applying one of these beauties to your scraped knees.
A box of flash-frozen coffee pods you can use to whip up a delicious caffeinated bev faster than you can say "I need coffee." All you have to do is defrost and pour over milk and ice for a delectable latte or pour hot water over the frozen pod for a life-changing hot coffee. Plus, the coffee itself is made from recognizable bean brands you likely already love like Counter Culture, Onyx, and Joe Coffee!
A fan favorite Takeya cold-brew maker with over 52K 5-star reviews (holy moly!) so you can always have a surplus of liquid gold in the fridge. Warmer weather is here, so you best be prepared to serve up iced coffee at any given moment!
Vanilla Velvet Touchland Power Essence Hydrating Body and Hair Fragrance you can easily stow away in your tote to freshen up your scent throughout the day (a must during these gross, sweaty, summer days).

A darling paper towel holder with a cat at the top that'll look totally purr-fect hanging out in your kitchen. One reviewer even repurposed it to stash hair scrunchies!

A ribbon bookmark that'll have you tossing your Kindle aside so you can show off this coquettish beauty in a physical book. Can't you imagine Belle from Beauty and the Beast accessorizing her novel of the day with one of these?!
An adorable egg separator to prevent you from saying "Oopsie daisy!" every time you accidentally break an egg yolk before adding it to your recipe.
A flower-shaped pill organizer that'll last you a whoooooole lot longer than those supermarket flowers you picked up earlier this week — for a pill organizer it is *quite* aesthetically pleasing, and each "petal" is detachable, so if you're spending a night or two away from home you can pop 'em off and take only what you need with you. 🌸
A "Gracula" garlic crusher to make even the most serious of chefs let out an audible giggle. Unless that chef is, of course, a vampire. They might not find it quite as hilarious — but let them know it can crush nuts up, too!

Exfoliating skincare mitts designed to lift away dead skin (and remove a spray tan that's seen better days) — an excellent way for you to kickstart a spa-like experience at home or, you know, give you an excuse to send some gross before and after pics to your pals.
A low-profile under-the-cabinet banana hanger that'll have you whipping out your credit card faster than Donkey Kong crushing barrels to get to a bunch of bananas. You'll love how easy it is to install (it literally just sticks on with a strong adhesive) and how much room you suddenly have on your counter without your go-to breakfast taking up residence.
Floral kitchen knives to make every meal prep feel like springtime (how refreshing!) — a new, sharp, beautiful set of tools is sure to motivate you to make dinner at home instead of Seamless-ing dinner for the umpteenth time.

Glitter-infused highlighters, so the next time you get the urge to annotate your already worn-down copy of Pride and Prejudice, you can do so with the kind of flair Jane Austen deserves. You better believe I'm reserving shimmery red for Mr. Darcy.
And some colored pencils with multi-colored tips that'll transform any boring coloring sesh into something straight out of your wildest dreams. I hope you're imagination is ready to put these babies to work!
The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook complete with 150 recipes, all using ingredients you can pick up at your beloved supermarket. Enjoy a night of unwinding with a tasty new meal.

Shaboozey Began A Historic Run On The Hot 100 A Year Ago

Shaboozey's breakout hit 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 a little more than one year ago, kicking off what would become one of the longest and most remarkable reigns in chart history. After a short stay at the summit, the cut returned and began a historic run. At the time, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' already seemed like a surprise smash, but 12 months later, the real story is the cut's staying power. The genre-blending smash is still thriving inside the top 10 on the Hot 100, while simultaneously living toward the top on several other Billboard tallies. What once felt like a fluke has turned into one of the biggest hits of its era. A Rare Country Handoff at No. 1 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' first hit No. 1 on the chart dated July 19, 2024, and at the time, it replaced another country crossover track — Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's 'I Had Some Help.' That handoff was rare enough, as it's uncommon for country cuts to rule, let alone for two to do so back-to-back. The following week, Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' took over, as it debuted at No. 1. Just one frame later, on the chart dated July 27, Shaboozey was back on top, starting a winning streak that would eventually tie a major Billboard record. Shaboozey Matches a Historic Record By the end of its reign, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' had racked up 19 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, including 14 stints in the top spot in a row. That tied the all-time record set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus's 'Old Town Road' in 2019. Like that earlier blockbuster, Shaboozey's hit blurred genre lines, mixing pop, rap, and country into a hybrid sound that resonated with millions of Americans, and which proved remarkably durable. Beyoncé Helped Pave the Way Before 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' exploded, Shaboozey had already caught the attention of the masses as a featured artist on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter. His contributions to 'Spaghettii' and 'Sweet Honey Buckiin'' introduced his voice to a massive audience and hinted at the potential for a solo breakout. When 'Tipsy' arrived around the time of Cowboy Carter, his pairing rowdy barroom energy with country roots and hip-hop swagger connected instantly. Still a Chart Force a Year Later Now, more than 15 months into its chart run, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' is still a giant hit. It currently sits at No. 8 on the Hot 100 and remains a top 10 title on several of Billboard's country rankings. What began as an unexpected crossover moment has become one of the most consistent performers in history — and given how it's holding up, Shaboozey's smash may not disappear for months.

‘Highest 2 Lowest' Trailer: Spike Lee's Latest Joint Is an Entertaining Homage to Akira Kurosawa

One of the best-reviewed films out of Cannes is ready for its August debut. From writer/director Spike Lee, 'Highest 2 Lowest' has released its official theatrical trailer. The movie is the fifth collaboration between Lee and Oscar-winning star Denzel Washington. It is, as IndieWire's own David Ehrlich described it, a 'jarringly upbeat' and 'deliriously entertaining' homage to Akira Kurosawa's bleak 1963 classic 'High and Low.' More from IndieWire Amazon CEO 'Cannot Wait' to Start Denis Villeneuve's James Bond Movie It's Time for Millennials to Make Lindsay Lohan a Movie Star Again A$AP Rocky — whose real name is Rakim Mayers — co-stars, thanks largely to Lee scrolling, as we all do, on Instagram. 'What's funny is that I was looking at Instagram four or five years ago and people were saying that A$AP looked like he's Denzel's son,' Lee told Carmelo Anthony in April. 'I seen those memes and then in the film we used that.' Lee went on to praise Rocky — who also laid down a track teased in the trailer for the film — saying 'A$AP, man, he fire… I mean, there's some scenes where him and D head to head – he ain't backing up. Like, 'I'm here too.' So very, very happy with the way the film turned out and looking forward to sharing it with the world.' Ehrlich agreed in his review, writing that Rocky was 'just as good here as he is in recent Sundance highlight 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.'' Ehrlich also detailed the plot, writing that the 'protagonist is forced into a compromising position on the eve of a critical business deal when a downtrodden kidnapper mistakes his driver's son for his own kid, Trey (Aubrey Joseph). And once again [as in 'High and Low'], all the money in the world can't save him from paying a price for his greed.' 'Highest 2 Lowest' already has big name fans, too, including director Martin Scorsese, who Lee related through an Instagram post heaped high praise on the film. Actually, he wrote that Scorsese 'gushed' about virtually every aspect of the movie, including Washington's performance, the editing, cinematography, and, of course, Lee's direction. 'Marty Was So Happy For Me,' Lee said. 'Highest 2 Lowest' is the first Lee joint since 2020's 'Da 5 Bloods,' which was distributed by Netflix during the pandemic. His previous film, 'BlackKkKlansman,' brought Lee a long-awaited Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. 'Highest 2 Lowest' hits theaters everywhere on August 22 before streaming on Apple TV+ September 5. Watch the trailer below.

Hulu's ‘King Of The Hill' Resurrection Lands A Peak Rotten Tomatoes Score

King of the Hill is not the first shows to circle back around for another season long after it's left the air, but the show, which first began back in 1997, has returned for season 14 on Hulu. This is 15 years after the show ended in 2010, the gang returning for another run of 10 episodes, obviously less than half of what we used to get, but such is the way of streaming now. The good news is…well, it's all good news. King of the Hill is already Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and at a full on 100% score with two dozen reviews in. It's only out today, so audience scores have not come in yet at any meaningful capacity. King of the Hill does not have an overall Rotten Tomatoes score over its lifetime because barely any seasons got enough reviews in to calculate that. But again, this is in the '90s and '00s mainly. Two of the three seasons that do have scores are also 100%. Here's the synopsis for season 14, and yes, time has progressed in the show, we're not just hopping back in at the end of season 13: While most of the core cast returned, in 15 years there have been some unfortunate developments, like the deaths of Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty who voiced characters in the series. With Bobby grown up, there was some talk of recasting his voice actor, Pamela Adlon, but they ended up not doing that, and she has tried to modify her voice to fit his new age (children are often voiced by women in animation). It's been a pretty decent turnaround time after the show was greenlit in January 2023, paused for the Writers Strike and is now arriving in August 2025 here. And guess what? This isn't just a one-and-done revival, there is also season 15 coming down the road, as that was greenlit before this new season 14 even aired. And given the reception to the return of the series already, that seems like it was probably a good idea. It's one of the best comedy animated series of all time (you could probably make the argument it's the actual best) and it's great to see it back in action, I'll tell you what. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
