An adorable mushroom night-light, because no matter your age, the dark can be a scary thing — especially when you're stealthily sneaking into the kitchen to grab a midnight snack.
Some Glamnetic press-on nails which come in various lengths, shapes, and styles, and — the most important "and" there is — reviewers say they last for two+ weeks!!!
A dazzling cubic zirconia ring that looks *just* like the one you've seen on the hand of many a celeb and influencer — but for $10. Just keep it away from water (and maybe don't wear it to Solidcore classes if you sweat a lot), and you'll get your money's worth.
An Instax Mini photo album keychain so you can parade around like a proud parent with shots of your BFFs and pets.
A make-your-own slime kit if it's time you finally see what all these TikTok kids are on about. You can customize each one with your choice of add-ins, too.
A TikTok-beloved, gold-plated paperclip necklace that reviewers say can even withstand frequent showers and trips to the beach!
A flower-shaped pill organizer if you're notoriously bad at taking your meds and maybe — just maybe🙏 — keeping this cutie on your counter will help.
NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip — a TikTok-approved Dior alternative that delivers the perfect pout for under 10 bucks! It can be worn alone for a subtle look or layered over other lip products for a full glam moment.
A bottle of Elizavecca's Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment which works just like a hair mask to repair your locks in five minutes flat. The Ceramide 3- and collagen-packed formula repairs all types of hair whether you've got over-processed tresses or 4c hair that's susceptible to dryness. Reviewers even say the $9 product is comparable to Olaplex No. 3!
A set of cylindrical wineglasses that'll make you feel R–I–C–H even if you're just throwing back some Two-Buck Chuck.
An adorable Squishmallow pet bed so your baby can stop sleeping on — and deflating — your actual Squishmallows.
Some hyaluronic eye patches that can stimulate collagen production, reduce dark circles and puffiness, and restore elasticity. They're less than $1 per set but they're also gold, so they feel extra luxe.
A pair of stylish teardrop earrings if you want the luxe look of Bottega Veneta but don't want to drop the equivalent of a mortgage payment on them — especially with how often you misplace things.
COSRX's Snail Mucin Repairing Essence — it addresses dullness and dehydration with, yes 😌, 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌
A Simple Modern tumbler if you're looking for an option that will keep your drink cold for 24+ hours and don't really care about the name brand. 🤷‍♀️ It also comes in a bunch of pretty pastels and checkerboard prints, sooo it's really a no-brainer.
A CZ tennis bracelet that — according to reviewers — can pass for real-deal diamonds, especially when incorporated in a sparkly stack.
A tube of E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter — a $14 alternative to Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter — with a hyaluronic acid- and squalane-infused formula that beautifully blurs pores and leaves you dewy and radiant.
A Calico Critters blind box that's definitely one of those things that make you think "hmm...why does this exist, exactly?" but at the same point, once you've seen them, you absolutely need one of your own.
A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks for just $10 (!!) if you've been hesitant to drop $$$ on a singular Laneige lip mask.
A cherry bag charm if you're currently 'Jane Birkinifying' all of your bags — aka accessorizing your accessories — and fell in love with a particular $95 charm that's taken TikTok by storm.
A mini bottle of Color Wow's Dream Coat Supernatural Spray — it's just the ticket if you're looking to combat frizz, protect against heat tools, and give yourself a niiiiice shiny finish. We've all heard of glass skin... but now it's time for glass hair!
A set of custom stickers you can make in the likeness of whoever you want — your pet, your partner, Cillian Murphy... Get creative with it!
LivaClean Superstar pimple patches if you love the look of Starface patches, but can't stomach throwing even more money at your acne. Paying for clear skin is just the worst, isn't it??
A set of cross stitch-style sponges with R-rated sayings that definitely won't make the dishes fun, but will probably make them more tolerable.
A sardine tin cosmetic bag so you can take all of your favorite products on the road, whether that's to work for midday touchups or to your BFF's house for your weekly sleepover.
A cloud-like catch-all dish that looks like it'd be right at home in a trendy TikToker's GRWM.

"Make It A Habit With Zero Exceptions From Day One": 23 Parents Are Revealing The Little-Known Safety Tips They're Teaching Their Kids

Parenting has NEVER been easy, but with every generation, keeping kids safe seems to become more difficult, especially as technology continues to rapidly evolve. Oftentimes, though, when parents come up with safety "hacks" that work for their families, they (thankfully) share them with others... That's why when TikTok user @paigecatherinejoh said, "Tell me something you teach your kids to help keep them safe. I'm not talking about 'Don't talk to strangers.' Give me some good stuff..." Thousands of parents flooded the comments with the unique, and in some cases, "controversial" ways they keep their kids safe. From secret codes to situational awareness — here are 23 of their most helpful responses: If you have any creative or little-known methods of keeping kids safe, feel free to tell us using this anonymous form! 1."My phone number is the password to my kids' tablet. That way they have it memorized, and know to look for a mom with kids or an employee at a front desk if they need to use it." —stinie17 2."I've taught my kids that in an emergency situation, 'Don't tell the cops anything but tell the paramedics everything.'" —tracimcree 3."In our home, our kids can't go swimming unless mom or dad gives them a high five first. That way, we always know when they are going in the water." —paigemiksys 4."My kids and I have a code for when they're invited somewhere, but don't want to go. It's 'Did you clean the bathroom?' If they answer 'Yes,' it means they want to go, and 'No' means they don't." "If they answer 'No,' I step in and be the 'bad guy' who won't let them do whatever it is they don't actually want to do." —dennisdamenace2.0 5."We save family members in our phone under the names our kids call them instead of what we call them. So, for example, if something happens, they can grab our phones and say, 'Hey Siri, call Nana.'" —lemonsandlacellc 6."Sometimes I pretend to forget how to get home from my job or from their school and ask them to direct me home. That way, I know they could find their house if needed." "They are never alone and know their address, but my 'mom brain' always thinks about the worst case scenario." —bp115 7."Our rule is 'Touch the car.' As SOON as kids can walk, teach them that they must touch/hold a specific spot on the car when you're loading and unloading. Our spot was the fuel tank door." "Make it a habit with zero exceptions from day one. Parking lots are a maze of drivers who can't see little kids in front of or behind them." —raising2wildthings 8."Get inserts for your kids' shoes that hide AirTags. Kidnappers will always change their clothes, but they almost never change their shoes." "Don't tell your kids about it, though, because they can't tell what they don't know." —katysaidso 9."Instead of just telling my kid, 'Don't talk to strangers,' I quiz her with 'if' situations, such as 'If an adult asks you to help them find their dog, what would you do?'" "That way, I can gauge her answer and tell her exactly what to do in specific situations." — 10."No secrets. We've taught our kids that if an adult ever asks them to keep a secret, they come straight to Mama or Dada. It might ruin the occasional surprise or game from a well-intentioned friend or family member, but it keeps them safe from the terrible things most likely to be done by someone you know and trust." "Tell your kids that there is no reason an adult should ever ask them to keep a secret, ESPECIALLY if they aren't supposed to tell their parents." —benyo525 11."I've always told my kids that a grown-up isn't going to ask a child for help. If anything, they'd ask a child to get another grown-up." —annavi73 12."I told my toddler if she ever finds a pill on the ground, she can give it to mommy or daddy and get whatever candy she wants in return!" —wardgrace 13."I have taught my kids it's okay to talk back (respectfully)! Especially when it comes to family members who think it's fine to be disrespectful to kids because they think they should just take it." "My rule is, 'If you give respect, you get respect.' I don't care about your age." —bakerterri 14."Instead of saying 'Stay where I can see you,' I tell my kids, 'Stay where you can see me.' If they can see me, I can see them." "I feel like little kids don't always know where/when the adult can or can't see them but they always know if they can or can't see the adult." —julescanterbury 15."Teaching your daughters, 'Oh he's teasing you because he likes you' is BS! If a boy likes you, he'll treat you with respect. If he's mean to you, he's just a mean boy!" — 16."We quiz each other on what everyone is wearing and how to describe who is with us, so 'Mom has glasses, blue shorts, and a Minnie Mouse shirt,' 'Baby sister is wearing a pink dress and pink shoes,' etc. This way, if anyone is lost, we all know how to find them." —tempestinacupoftea 17."I taught my kids this rhyme: 'This is my body, this is my face, these are my boundaries, this is my space. If you want to hold my hand, you have to ask me first. If you want to give me a hug, you have to ask me first, and when it's my turn, I'll ask you too because you respect me and I respect you.'" —kaya_ashlyn 18."Not me, but my mom told me about the boys she liked when she was young, the good partners she had, AND the bad ones." "I feel like I've never made the same relationship mistakes as my mother because she told me about them, so I didn't have to live through them." —chewiechewbarka 19."Call me paranoid, but I have a binder that contains my kid's birth certificate, social security card, a copy of their passport, their most recent school photo, several strands of hair from their brush with the root attached, a few baby teeth, their last dental x-ray, a set of their fingerprints, and photos of their birth marks as well as their locations." "It might be overkill, but I'd rather have too much info rather than not enough." —katysaidso 20."A police officer once told me that if I take my kids out in public with their school uniforms still on, I should cover the school's emblem, and if they're wearing a school jacket, turn it inside out. Strangers don't need to know where your kids go to school." —emmaliz121521 21."Take a picture of your child before entering any kind of crowded place or event — amusement park, aquarium, fair, etc. God forbid they go missing, but if they do, you have an up-to-date picture to show the authorities, including the exact clothes they were wearing when they disappeared." —unapologetically_kc_ 22."I've taught my kids not to worry about strange people as much as strange behavior. The people most likely to hurt your babies aren't going to be strangers." —ashleylefty 23."I'm teaching my kids to cuss if someone tries to kidnap them! My kids are not normally allowed to cuss, but if someone tries to take them/grab them, they are supposed to scream and cuss at the top of their lungs." "When a kid just says 'No' or 'Let go', etc., in public, people might think they're just throwing a tantrum with parents, but if they are screaming, 'I don't know you, get your f*cking hands off me,' etc., heads will turn!" —sissydenise94 Did any of these kids' safety tips surprise you? What are some creative ways you've kept your children safe? Tell us in the comments or answer anonymously using the form below! Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Addison Rae hails 'divine' Lana Del Rey after Wembley show

Addison Rae thinks Lana Del Rey is a "divine woman". The 24-year-old star recently joined Lana, 40, on stage at Wembley Stadium in London, and Addison subsequently took to social media to reflect on the experience of performing with one of her musical heroes, describing herself as the "happiest and luckiest girl on earth". Addison - who first found fame on TikTok, before switching her focus towards music - wrote on Instagram: "I will never forget this. Thank you so much to the most beautiful divine woman, heart, soul, mind…, Lana. I am the happiest and luckiest girl on earth. Being next to you is spiritual. (sic)" The Diet Pepsi hitmaker has enjoyed huge success over the last year, which included releasing her debut studio album in June and announcing plans for a world tour. However, Addison previously insisted that she doesn't have any regrets about her career journey. The pop star always dreamed of becoming a success in the music business, but Addison recognises that TikTok has played an important role in her success. She told ELLE: "All of that led me to where I am right now. "What's funny to me is that people assume that these passions are new. First of all, no one ever even knew who I was before I was a freshman in college, so it's like, 'How would you even know what my interests were before?' I grew up dancing; I've always loved to sing. "I acknowledge how lucky I am that I was on TikTok, and people cared enough to watch my videos and follow me, and therefore gave me the freedom to be able to explore my deep desires that I've always had. It's like, 'What am I going to do? Not chase my dreams because I feel like I haven't done enough school to get here? Or I haven't had enough experience?' It's like, 'No, the door opened for me, and I'm going to go through and explore it.'"

Dachshund's Daily Need To Nap While Mom Brushes Her Teeth Is Hilarious

Dachshund's Daily Need To Nap While Mom Brushes Her Teeth Is Hilarious originally appeared on Parade Pets. Dogs can be total velcro babies at times. My Pug mix follows me everywhere. If I'm working in the kitchen, he's laying at my feet. When I go to the basement to do the laundry, he's trailing two steps behind me. And he's always waiting for me at the door when I come out of the bathroom. Do I mind? Of course not! It's adorable. This darling Dachshund appears to be a bit clingy too, yet her mom doesn't have any problem with it. In the TikTok from @leeseslife, the Doxie's mom was about to brush her teeth in the bathroom but figured her little dog expected to be a part of her morning routine. She looked down at her Dachshund and knew exactly what the pup wanted. The next scene showed her snuggling her canine cutie as she brushed her teeth. The precious pooch started yawning and soon nodded off to sleep. "She's not spoiled, but if she wants to take a nap while I brush my teeth (every single morning), I'm going to let her," the onscreen text explained. Dachshunds are notorious snugglers. They love to nestle close to their loved ones and are known to burrow under blankets to feel safe and cozy. This Doxie obviously wants to cuddle no matter where her mom is. The adorable video is a great example of how our fur babies just want to be with us. It's a joy to give them the attention they crave, especially when they give us so much in got a kick out of the morning routine and completely supported the toothbrushing/nap combo. "This isn't spoiled — this is just treating her like the princess she is," one commented. "There's not a real reason that she shouldn't be hanging with momma making sure she's ok while she does her morning routine," a fan pointed out. "This is so adorable. She feels safe in your arms," another remarked. "She's not spoiled. She's blessed," a follower noted. This looks like a perfect morning routine to me! 🐶🐾🐾 Dachshund's Daily Need To Nap While Mom Brushes Her Teeth Is Hilarious first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
