A pair of beaded fan pull extenders with some big "why isn't everyone talking about this?" energy. You'll never have to guess whether you're pulling the cord for the light or the fan! These also add a good foot of length to your pulls, which is super helpful for the shorties out there.
A truly clever neck reading light bookworms will praise until the end of time for its sheer wisdom. You'll be able to read in the dark without straining your eyeballs or committing to the awfully bright big light.

Owner Returns Home to Find He's Locked Out—Then Realizes Dog Is Inside
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. When rushing out of the house with your mind running in a million different directions, chances are you might forget your keys, leading to the headache of dealing with a lockout. That is, unless you have a dog. Daniel Olsen, who is known on TikTok as @djolsen27, shared in a video posted on June 26 how he returned home with no way to get inside after accidentally locking himself out. He went around the house, checking every window and the back slider, hopeful someone would have been left unlocked. Unfortunately, no luck. However, before calling for assistance, he decided to see if Zaya, his Australian shepherd, could help out. Zaya, stood at the back door, wiggling and barking with excitement to see her owner return home. Her paws butted up against the pole that slid behind the door to keep it from being opened. Olsen saw it as an opportunity to get Zaya to move the pole with her paws, which would unlock the slider door. In the TikTok video, he and another person kept pointing to the pole, encouraging the pup to tap it away from the door. As soon as she completed the task, everyone jumped up and screamed. They couldn't believe Zaya managed to get them back inside the house. She came rushing out to greet them as soon as they opened the door. In the midst of their screaming, everyone smothered her with love and praise, telling Zaya how she is a "good girl" as she truly saved the day. This incident quickly became one of the owner's favorite memories with his dog, he wrote in the video's caption. But he joked in the comments section that he needs to be careful that she doesn't learn to open the door itself since she already knows how to open a doorknob. Newsweek reached out to @djolsen27 via TikTok for additional comment. Screenshots from a June 26 video of an owner locked out of the house, asking for his dog to help get him back inside. Screenshots from a June 26 video of an owner locked out of the house, asking for his dog to help get him back inside. @djolsen27/TikTok TikTok Users React Thrilled and impressed, TikTok users flooded the video with demands for Zaya to be fairly compensated for her work. The clip has reached over 150,000 views and 13,000 likes as of Monday afternoon. "You take that baby for a pup cup right now!" one user wrote, to which Olsen replied and said she had plenty afterwards. Another user posted: "Awwwwwww yay!!! You can tell she was trying to figure out what she needed to do the whole time." And a third user commented: "Lowkey teaching her that could help you save her in an emergency (fire, flood, carbon monoxide leaks, etc.)" Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to life@ with some details about your best friend, and they could appear in our Pet of the Week lineup.

Mom explains why she is trying to say ‘yes' more often
As a kid, my mom's favorite phrase was 'because no means no.' I can't begin to explain how frustrating that was, especially when there was no reason why it was a no. Just… no. End of discussion. Now that I'm a mom myself, I've caught those exact words slipping out of my own mouth. 4 The mom says her mother's favorite phrase was 'no means no.' nicoletaionescu – But recently, I saw a TikTok that made me stop and think. 'The number one thing that I have struggled with in parenting is my innate sense to want to tell my children no,' mom Brenden begins in her video. 'Why am I just saying no?' It's something she noticed through her daughter's behavior. How she started hiding things she wanted behind her back, worried her mom would say no. 'While that's something so small, it can grow into a lot more serious things as your children get older. I had to step back and ask myself: why am I just saying no? Why is that my immediate response to everything my child asks me?' she explains. She realized that a lot of her no's were about control. 4 She questioned 'why am I just saying no?' @brenden_cook/TikTok And sure, there are absolutely times when a no is necessary. Brenden makes it clear that boundaries around safety and wellbeing aren't up for negotiation. But some of those other no's? The reflexive ones? They're worth rethinking. 'A lot of times you can just say yes,' she reveals. She gave the example of her daughter the other day, who asked if she could jump in a puddle. 'My immediate response was no. In my brain I'm like I don't want to have to change your shoes, I don't want your shoes to be wet, I don't want you to be uncomfortable, I don't want your clothes to get dirty,' Brenden said. 'As if she gives a s**t about any of that.' Brenden is working hard to not say no to things that aren't a big deal. 4 The mother emphasized boundaries are still important. @brenden_cook/TikTok Do you tell your kids 'no' too much? Yes, and I'm working on it Sometimes, but it depends No! Boundaries are important! 'Is it dangerous, or just inconvenient?' So Brenden took a moment and reconsidered. 'I had to stop and give myself a reality check and be like 'girl. Who cares? Say yes!'' she revealed. 'She jumped in the puddle and she got her shoes and her clothes wet. Guess what happened? Nothing. Other than her having a great f**king time.' Her comment section lit up with parents who felt the same. 'I saw a quote that said 'is it dangerous, or just inconvenient?' That has helped me to think before I say no! I am still working on it & your video was a great reminder!' one parent wrote. Another admitted 'I struggle with finding a happy medium. I was saying yes to everything because I didn't want to be too strict but then I realized my kid needs to be told no sometimes.' 'I have to ask myself, 'Is it really that big of a deal?' Most of the time it's not. I struggle with this too!' a third added. 4 Her video's comment section lit up with parents who felt the same. @brenden_cook/TikTok Brenden says it's something she has to work on constantly, because being easygoing doesn't come naturally to her. 'I have to remind myself to say yes to the things that don't matter,' she said. 'I want to be the mom that my children know that I'm probably going to say yes, so that when I say no that know that I mean it.' Turns out, a little puddle-jumping joy is worth the wet shoes.

27 Amazon Kitchen Products You'll Use All The Time
A veggie chopper that will become the holy grail of your kitchen. This incredible invention chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant, and the built-in container means there's gonna be absolutely zero mess. So long, chopping boards. A trio lasagna pan because if you're an "edge piece" kind of person, all of your dreams are about to come true. Use it to whip up three different lasagna flavors, or use the tin for *the* crispiest pastries and brownie edges. A rotary cheese grater that's going to make shredding up your favorite cheeses a breeze. Grate some Parmesan over your next pasta dish without worrying about the perfect time to "say when," because you're doing it yourself and if you want to use the full block of Parm, you go for it. A pair of left-handed scissors for my fellow lefties who haven't been able to neatly open a packet of crackers or a bag of pasta for years because they've settled for a pair of generic scissors that don't snip properly and are a pain to hold. Well, struggle no more. Promising review: "So my three youngest are left-handed even though no one else in the family is. Now that they are teens their school-sized left-handed scissors don't fit their hands. I ordered these because we have always used Fiskars school stuff, especially scissors. They are just what I was hoping they would be. And my teens are so excited to not have to use the regular kitchen scissors anymore. Sounds funny, but when you are left-handed those things make a big difference. I am going to order a few more pairs. Great scissors!" —oliveoilPrice: $12.99 (also available in a petite version) A handheld milk frother so you can become your very own barista. If you've been trying to save $$$ on your coffee runs, now you have no excuse. Promising review: "This makes the creamiest froth ever! I am completely blown away by the results of this device. I had no idea that I could make froth at home like this. This changes my whole cappuccino experience!!!" —WellsPrice: $7.99+ (available in 24 colors) A clip-on pasta strainer that looks like one of the most life-changing things I've ever seen. Yes, pasta has my heart, but I hate the part when you have to break your wrist to strain out the water while trying to hold the lid on the pot. Promising review: "Pouring a scalding hot pot of pasta into a colander brings back memories of said colander tipping over and pasta spilling all over the sink or the bottom portion of pasta sitting in a shallow pool of water you just poured into the sink. Not to mention the splash back when the water hits the rim or side of the colander just perfectly. This product relieved me of having to worry about those catastrophic events. Just snap onto your pot while still having two hands to control the pour." —JCPrice: $9.99+ (available in seven colors) A salad spinner because even though your bag of arugula says it's triple-washed, you should be washing it anyway. Alexa, play "Spinning Around" by Kylie Minogue. You can use it for fruit, too!Promising review: "I cut one whole head of lettuce and filled it up to wash, and it fits with the lid on. It doesn't squish the lettuce and all the parts feel well-made. I like that everything is clear and see-through so you can see the color of the water. All the pieces disassemble for washing and rinsing, and they don't have too little spaces that trap lettuce." —amy_incaPrice: $29.95 A handheld surface 3-in-1 steam mop to effectively clean up your kitchen floor, even getting riiiight into those tight nooks and crannies behind the oven that you've been meaning to clean forever but have never gotten around to. Promising review: "I absolutely love this little powerhouse! I use it regularly in my kitchen, particularly around and inside of my oven, and all around my bathroom! The brush adapters are perfect for cleaning tile/grout and the hard-to-reach small areas around the outside and inside of my stovetop/oven (I have a dedicated brush for each) and it cuts right through grease. Because the reservoir only holds a certain amount of water you will need to refill it and let it warm back up but it gives your hand a rest in between. Definitely recommend!" —MelissaPrice: $125.99 A cast-iron Dutch oven for unleashing your inner chef and cooking up some hearty dishes. Yes, it's summer, but gimme a delicious casserole any time of the year. Promising review: "Wow, I don't know how I lived without an enamel Dutch oven for so long! We use this for so many recipes, whether or not this is technically the best pot to use for them. I love that the enamel is safer and more durable than nonstick but doesn't sacrifice that function. We only hand wash it because we don't want to ruin the finish, but that has been very easy so far. It is also great for baking. Overall, could not be happier with this product." —RMSPrice: $94.09+ (available in 16 colors) An electric can opener so you can say goodbye to sharp can edges and bits of label in the food because you can't quite grasp using a manual tin opener. This bad boy will open your cans with a simple touch of a button. Promising review: "This is an amazing tool! It's about the same size as a manual can opener, but this is automatic. All you have to do is place it on the can and press the button and it turns on its own. Just press the button again once it reaches the starting point and it disengages and turns off. This doesn't leave sharp lid edges like regular openers. What a lifesaver!" —Rachel YoungPrice: $20.99 (available in four colors) A chopper perfect for breaking up ground meat, frozen veggies, eggs, and more. If you're partial to finely ground taco meat and creamy scrambled eggs, this bb is going to be your culinary hero. An instant-read digital thermometer so you can be sure that your meat is cooked all the way through. It only takes four to seven seconds to read your food's temperature, so you can say goodbye to the fear of undercooked chicken! A vented microwave food cover that will stop any splatters of food all over your microwave. Why is it that your leftovers splash across the walls after 35 seconds, but the food is still freezing cold? So dramatic. An all-in-one measuring glass because as someone who has never used cup measurements before moving to the U.S., this stuff is tricky. You'll get the *precise* amounts of liquid for your recipes while freeing up a bunch of space in your cupboard. Or a set of space-saving measuring spoons with dual sides for wet and dry ingredients. Say goodbye to guesstimating measurements using that one rogue tablespoon at the back of your silverware drawer. An egg bite maker for cooking up your very own fluffy, eggy morsels. It's the perfect way to batch cook a delicious breakfast that you can grab and go each morning. Say goodbye to spending an ungodly amount of $$$ on the store-bought bites. Take that, Starbucks! Bonus: Take the silicone molds off of it and use it as a regular grill for sandwiches! Or a rapid egg cooker to see you through every single breakfast or brunch for the rest of time. Small but mighty, it can make up to 14 soft-, medium-, *and* hard-boiled eggs in addition to poaching, scrambling, and making omelets. In the words of Lisa Simpson, "Just buy it, you don't have to rationalize everything." An anti-soggy cereal bowl for people who cannot STAND their cereal turning into a gloopy mess just because they take longer than 35 seconds to eat it. It's also a great lil' product for chips, dips, and those moments when you want to have sweet and savory in the same dish. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker to turn ~any~ frozen fruit into a sorbet texture. Bananas, mangoes, strawberries... the possibilities are endless. Just think: banana "ice cream" and a sprinkling of chocolate chips on a hot summer's day. Chef's kiss. A fantastic combo air fryer and oven that will 👏change👏your👏life👏. It has 12 different presets based on what kind of meal you're cooking, so you'll always have the best-cooked dinners, desserts, and everything in between. If you never use your conventional oven again, I completely understand. Promising review: "I never had an air fryer before, but now that I have one (in the toaster oven), don't know how I lived without it! This little oven does it all! Easier to clean with the slide-out tray and the air fryer, oven, and broiler (that's all I've used so far!) all work great! Can't wait to try and make my own beef jerky! Best money I've ever spent on a small appliance!" —AllyPrice: $139.99+ (available in two colors) And some silicone air fryer liners, because as much as we all love our air fryers, cleaning them ain't easy. These liners will eliminate having to scrub at the fryer basket every time you whip up some crispy veggies or homemade fries. Promising review: "I have had an air fryer for years and am just now finding out about these things?! So easy to pop in the dishwasher rather than having to clean the air fryer basket. I still wipe down the basket from juices while cooking, but overall these are now a must in my house." —Madeline CurryPrice: $9.99 A teeny tiny mini waffle maker that will whip up the most adorable waffles faster than Leslie Knope can declare her love for the delicious treat. It's also a great gadget for making hash browns, paninis, biscuits, and even PIZZA. A heat-safe, durable pizza stone so you can easily whip up some restaurant-quality pizza that have juuuuuust the right amount of crispiness on the edges. Now, the real question is, are you putting pineapple on it? A breakfast sandwich maker to make all of your brekkie dreams come true. This bad boy cooks an egg, toasts bread, warms precooked meat, and melts cheese all at once and takes literally less than five minutes to produce a warm and melty sammie that deserves a permanent place in your morning routine. A beautiful all-in-one nonstick pan from our Goodful line that can do it all! Use it to fry up your eggs in the morning or boil your spaghetti for pasta night. The possibilities are endless. Psst: it even includes a wooden turner!Promising review: "I own several pans, but this one has become my daily driver for most cooking. It's safer than Teflon, fairly nonstick and easy to clean, has good heat distribution, and is overall very versatile for most of my cooking needs. The only thing I would NOT use it for is high-heat cooking (i.e., searing a steak). Outside of searing, I use this for everything else. Eggs, meat, reheating food, pasta, etc. This is a really awesome pan and much cheaper than the "other" name brand. Comes in some snazzy colors, too. Worth every penny." —Adam GoldsteinPrice: $49.99+ (available in six colors) A KitchenAid mini stand mixer for practicing your cakes and pastries ahead of your application for The Great British Baking Show. It can make up to five dozen cookies at once, so I hope you're hungry. And speaking of The Great British Baking Show, a set of two baking mats so you can pipe out some perfectly uniform cookies and macarons that even Paul Hollywood would be proud of. Promising review: "I have no complaints. They are easy to clean and keep stuff from sticking. I have used them several times without any issues. I haven't ever used the name-brand ones, but these are pretty darn good from what I have seen." —braingamer47Price: $11.39+ (available with or without macaron guides)
