7. An Our Place ceramic nonstick Always pan if you're short on cabinet space.

Set includes an Always Pan 2.0 in original nonstick, a modular, steam-release lid, a nesting beechwood spatula that slots right onto the handle for easy holding, and a steamer basket and colander.
I truly can't say enough nice things about the Always pan. I have a Very Fancy pan that has been living in the cabinet since I got this one because the Always is a joy to use and such a breeze to clean up when finished. Just be sure to let the pan TOTALLY cool before washing to extend the non-stick life, and you'll be just as obsessed as I am!

Target
Promising reviews:"We purchased this to use as a coffee cart, and it's such a great addition to our kitchen/dining area. It helps expand our space without being bulky. We use the top surface to place our espresso machine, hot water kettle, coffee grinder, and espresso tools. The drawer fits tea bags, additional tools, and coffee filters, with plenty of room to spare. And the lower storage/cabinet space fits plenty of additional items like mugs, containers, and a french press. We love this cart!" — joshb

Target
Matter is a company all about making compostable products from plants which is obviously so much better for the environment without sacrificing the convenience we love to have in our homes.

Check out this TikTok of parents enjoying it just as much as the kids!
We've had this in our home for about two months, now, and it is an INDISPENSABLE HOME GOOD. Need to tidy the house but don't want your kiddo staring at their 1000th hour of Bluey for the day? The Nex has GOT YOU. This genuinely requires kids to move in order to play the games, and it keeps them entertained while you get some stuff done. It is now a feature of our living room and everyone asks "What's that little colorful box?" when they visit. (We're very happy to convert them.)
Promising reviews:" I bought this as a Christmas gift for my kids and wanted to try it out first, so my coworkers and I tried it and it was so much fun! It's a quick and easy setup and gets you moving! I can't wait to play with my kids. I'm highly satisfied with my purchase." — Ashley H
"I have four kids (8 and under), and Nex Playground is saving my life in these indoor months. My 4- and 7-year-olds love to play these games, and my 7-year-old has no problem navigating through the games and playing. There is a great selection of games, and it can be played solo or multiplayer — which I love, and they are adding games to the library, which is so fun!" — MJ
16. A Keurig K-Cafe smart single-serve coffee, latte, and cappuccino maker, I can testify, is the bougiest (and most affordable!) caffeine deliverer around. IT COMES WITH A MILK FROTHER. I can't emphasize what a game-changer this is. Plus, it's *actually* smart. It can read the barcode on the K-Cups and give you recipe options to fully personalize your morning brew.
17. A patio chair to plop out in your yard, your porch, or your sunroom because the sun is returning, y'all, and you'll want a front row spot to soak up some rays. These are stackable, so if you want a chair to offer a fellow sun-soaking lizard, you can offer them one without taking up a huge footprint in your yard. No more sitting crosslegged in itchy grass for you!
Target

You can set a schedule or change it up by choosing your particular flavor of wind-down lights and music each night from an app on your phone.
Target
Promising review:"The hatch has changed how I sleep in the best way. Never felt more refreshed waking up. It is a little pricey but other than that this is a great product. I don't pay for the hatch subscription and find that the free tools are more than enough for me!" — Brynn
19. A framed vintage lemon print because when life gives you spring/summer citrus, frame them and hang them on your wall. Got a couple spots on your walls where nails used to hang? COVER THEM UP WITH ON-TREND LEMON CUTENESS.
Target
20. A green-tinted glass kitchen jar with a wooden lid because sometimes making dinner is just ~easier~ to undertake if your ingredients are in cute Wind in the Willows- esque jars you can gaze upon even when you're *not* cooking. Plus, these are SUPER practical for helping keep your dry goods fresh!
Target
Promising review:"I love the green glass color! I wish they'd make more items with this color of glass. The lids fit great and look so pretty. All around five stars for both sizes!" — CT
21. Some solar LED outdoor string lights to bring a touch of whimsy to your outdoor spring nights. Just look at those little rattan light hats: They practically scream "spring"! And if you've been wondering how you're going to enjoy your dark outdoor space after the sun goes down, these will give you just enough light to vibe outside.

23. A 6-inch Kindle that's a new TikTok fave and Amazon's lightest, most compact e-reader yet. Have your link ready to share because there's LOTS of buzz in the cozy book world about how this is the perfect additional companion to your Paperwhite, so you (and those you influence!) will get a lot of use out of both! (I would say ask me how I know, but...yeah. Just trust me.)
Here is one of my most FAVORITE cozy creators on TikTok talking about why she loves her new lil' Kindle!
Plus, this little guy is EXTRA practical if you've been thinking about cleaning out some of the stacks of physical books you've got in every corner of your house.

26. A tufted shower curtain if your bathroom could use the quickest (and most effective!) of rebrands. I'm going to hold your hand gently when I say this, but if you still have a holiday-themed curtain up in March... it's time for a seasonal change.

Sydney Sweeney ad sparked controversy. Here's what Americans think of it in poll
An American Eagle advertisement campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney has ignited a fiery debate, drawing reactions from social media users, celebrities and even the White House. But what do ordinary Americans think of it? The controversy stems from the clothing brand's use of wordplay involving 'jeans' and 'genes.' In one commercial, released in late July, Sweeney explains, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,' while the camera lingers on her denim pants. It concludes with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' The ad, and others like it, sparked a flurry of comments on apps like TikTok and X, with some users accusing American Eagle of promoting eugenics, white nationalism and 'Nazi propaganda.' 'It's more than cheeky wordplay, it's a dog whistle,' one TikTok user said. Public figures soon weighed in. Singer Doja Cat released a video appearing to mock Sweeney — who rose to fame starring in shows like 'Euphoria' and 'The White Lotus.' Late night host Stephen Colbert addressed the ad campaign on his show, saying online claims that it supports eugenics 'might be a bit of an overreaction.' Vice President JD Vance also offered his thoughts on the matter during a podcast interview, accusing Democrats of making a fuss over nothing. 'My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi,' he said. 'That appears to be their actual strategy.' American Eagle put out a statement on Aug. 1, saying the viral ad campaign 'is and always was about the jeans,' adding 'great jeans look good on everyone.' Most Americans appear to agree that reactions to the ad have been overblown, with a new YouGov poll revealing a majority do not have a problem with the campaign. In the survey — conducted with 3,509 U.S. adults July 31-Aug. 1 — 52% of respondents said the ad's use of wordplay is appropriate, while just 16% labeled it as inappropriate. About one-third, 32%, said they weren't sure. That said, there was a noticeable partisan divide on this question. While the vast majority of Republicans, 64%, said the ad campaign was appropriate, less than half of Democrats and independents — 46% and 49%, respectively — said the same. In contrast, 24% of Democrats said the campaign's wordplay was inappropriate, while 14% of independents and just 10% of Republicans said the same. The results were similar when respondents were asked if saying someone has 'great genes' is appropriate or not. A majority, 53%, said using this phrase is appropriate, while 15% said it is inappropriate, and 31% said they were not sure. Here, again, there were substantial partisan differences, according to the poll, which has a margin of error of 2 percentage points. Two-thirds of Republicans said the phrase is fine to use, while half of independents and 44% of Democrats agreed. By comparison, 24% of Democrats labeled the phrase inappropriate. Fourteen percent of independents and 9% of Republicans said the same. Respondents were also asked whether 'all press is good press.' The overwhelming majority, 73%, said they disagreed with this statement, while 10% said they agreed and 17% said they were not sure. It comes after American Eagle's stock price rose by roughly 25% on July 23, the day the ad campaign was announced, according to Rolling Stone. In more recent days, it has fallen.

'Sex and the City' fans celebrate, mourn ending of 'And Just Like That...' spinoff
"I know this season has been a trainwreck overall, but why do I feel sad?" TikTok creator Kayla Charisse said in a video on Friday, Aug. 1. Carrie Bradshaw will soon be penning her last column, and fans are sharing mixed reactions. The "Sex and the City" spinoff, "And Just Like That...," will end following the Season 3 finale, executive producer Michael Patrick King wrote in a social media statement on Aug. 1. The series premiered in 2021, 17 years after "Sex and the City" concluded in 2004. "I wanted this show to run until all the characters were in assisted living and retirement communities in West Palm Beach," one Instagram user commented on King's statement, followed by a crying emoji. King said while writing the last episode of "And Just Like That...," he felt it was a "wonderful place to stop." In a lengthy Instagram post, Parker shared her passion for the series and, of course, her beloved character, who worked as a newspaper columnist and overall fashion enthusiast. "Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all," Parker wrote. And just like that, it's over: 'And Just like That' fans spot major Season 3 plot hole When does 'And Just Like That...' Season 3 end? The two-part finale of "And Just Like That..." will air on Aug. 7 and Aug. 14 on HBO Max. 'We don't want it to end' Since its first airing in 2021, "And Just Like That..." has received widespread criticism. Fans say the characters have strayed too far from their original selves (despite the once 30-somethings now being in their 50s), the plot is inconsistent, and overall, the spinoff relies far too heavily on nostalgia. In the most recent season, fans grew upset when a friend of the main cast, Lisa Todd Wexley (played by Nicole Ari Parker), called Charlotte (Kristen Davis) to inform her that her father had died suddenly from a stroke. But Wexley had already informed her friends in Season 1 that her father had died the previous year. In the comment section of King's statement, fans said the "Sex and the City" gals deserved more. "We don't want it to end," one Instagram user commented. "We want it to be better." Others were a bit more strongly worded with their feedback. "And just like that, we are being released from this hostage, hate-watch situation," TikTok creator Sabrina Bendory said in a video posted on Friday, Aug. 1. "This is not surprising because the writers clearly have no idea how to write for these characters anymore. Maybe once upon a time they did, but they have no idea now." 'And Just Like That...": Sarah Jessica Parker speaks out in emotional message about 'AJLT' ending Fans share distress over story's end Not all fans have been unhappy with "And Just Like That..." though, and they took to social media to share their mutual heartbreak. "I know this season has been a trainwreck overall, but why do I feel sad?" TikTok creator Kayla Charisse said in a video on Friday, Aug. 1. "Like, what are we going to hate watch together every Thursday? And it just finally started getting good. The bar was in hell but like, I really enjoyed last night's episode. The term bittersweet comes to mind." Viewers also expressed their sadness in the comments of King's social media statement. "It's the end of an era all over again," one Instagram user commented, referencing the "Sex and the City" finale from 2004.

Dog Finds Out They Skipped Starbucks—His No Pup Cup Reaction Says It All
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. A golden retriever's glaring side-eye is sparking laughter among viewers online, after his disappointed reaction to missing out on a Starbucks pup cup went viral. Beau, a golden retriever in California, was captured on video by his owner sitting in the passenger seat of a car, visibly sulking. In the short TikTok clip, Beau stares ahead, refusing to look at his owner, before glancing back with unmistakable judgment in his eyes. An overlaid caption on the video added more context: "Someone's very upset we passed Starbucks without stopping for a pup cup." The post, shared to TikTok by @_beauthegoldenboy on July 30, has racked up more than 2.8 million views and over 609,000 likes to date. It has left viewers on the platform in stitches over Beau's dramatic display of canine disappointment. "His side eye! Don't worry he got his pup cup!" the video's caption added. A pup cup is a small, dog-friendly treat typically offered at coffee chains like Starbucks—usually a serving of whipped cream in an espresso-sized cup. While not officially on the menu, many locations provide them for free upon request, making them a popular ritual among dog owners during drive-thru visits. The treat is often shown in social media videos, with countless clips showing eager dogs lighting up at the sight of their pup cup, cementing its place as a beloved indulgence in the pet community. The brief video quickly struck a chord with TikTok users, who were quick to comment on Beau's expressive reaction. Several jokingly jumped to his support, pressuring his owner to get him the treat.

"Better go back for a pup cup," a third viewer commented. "Hey, I don't like that," another commenter said. "Turn around." "Go back and get this baby a pup cup," one TikToker wrote. "When my [boyfriend] says no to a Starbucks," another said. "This face could ask me to commit wire fraud, and I would have a hard time saying no," a commenter said. "If you didn't turn around for a pup help me dog," said one commenter. "I would fall for that every time," another added.
