40 Items You'll Use Every Day Because They're Just That Stinkin' Good
Promising review: "Really makes a difference. First overnight treatment I've used where my lips genuinely feel hydrated and plumper in the morning. I'm pleasantly surprised — I bought this on a whim after a rec from The Strategist and almost canceled the order. Now I use it every night!" — Hilary
Get it from Amazon $22 (available in three flavors).
2. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that has been *all the rage* on TikTok (which is how you know it's good). It's lightweight, has a touch of gloss to it, and the shade will have you saying "mhmmmm, honey!" from the second you apply it.
Amazon
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has personally tested this baby out. She said:
"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick.
Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart."
Get it from Amazon for $25.
3. Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash."
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.
4. A motivating daily planner that literally says "You've got this!" at the top — it'll also look oh-so-cute on your desk or fridge and has sections to keep track of appointments, how much water you're drinking, a to-do list, what you ate (meal prep, perhaps?!) and a general notes/doodling area.
Each pad comes with 50 sheets.
Promising review:"I use this first thing when I get in the office in the mornings as a 'personal to-do' before our morning meetings. It reminds me to stay productive when I might not have work to do in the office at that moment, but it also reminds me throughout the day of the intention I set early on. It's been a great visual reminder of my personal goals while I'm achieving professional goals." — Chelsea Ashton
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 15 styles).
5. Gradient tempered glass for your iPhone — it'll act as a privacy screen (sorry to the Nosy Nancy sitting next to you on the subway, they won't be able to see your texts to your mom), will help filter blue light, prevent your screen from scratching, and add a little bit of *~flair~* to your phone in the process.
www.amazon.com
Psst: Read more about the effects of blue light and eye strain at UC Davis Health and the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Promising review:"I am so glad I ordered this privacy screen. It is perfect, easy on the eyes and aesthetically pleasing. My partner could not see my screen while seated next to me which I was thankful for since I was finishing up some last minute Christmas shopping." — Amazon Customer
Get a set of two for the iPhone 14 Pro Max from Amazon for $18.99 (also available for iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max).
6. A dazzling candle warmer with a lampshade reminiscent of a high-end crystal chandelier you'd likely see in the middle of a ballroom on Bridgerton.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I loved this candle warmer! I love that it has different functions, even a timer to set how long you want it on. The lights are super cool, too, and you don't get that smoky smell when you blow out a candle. Definitely obsessed!" — Laura
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in two styles).
7. And a fan favorite Otherland candle that'll make your home smell divine while also adding a pretty piece of decor to the room. If it were acceptable to soak your entire body in a candle scent....you'd like want to choose one of these.
Amazon
I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the US. Additionally, Otherland is a small business!
Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in 13 scents).
8. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara you'll be racing to add to your cart after seeing reviewer photos. It features a lightweight tubing technology that magically wraps around lashes, transforming them from *drab to fab* without taking away from your natural look.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
9. A facial steamer for anyone who adores soaking up the steam from their too-hot showers (especially in winter) but is leaving you all pruney. This lil' machine will let you reap those same benefits but from your bed (ooooh). It creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates skin to soften, hydrate, open up pores, *and* help relieve sinus congestion.
Note that this comes with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful when performing extractions on yourself, as these can injure your skin if not used properly.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion, and it opened up my pores, too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings, including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me, and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in three colors).
10. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only FIVE DOLLARS.
www.amazon.com
Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!).
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.78 (available in two styles).
11. 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. 🌸
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Travel with ease!! Before this product, I would take all my supplement bottles with me in my purse, which took up an unnecessary amount of room. Now, with this product, I can travel easily with all my daily supplements. Takes up minimal space in my purse and actually encourages me to take my daily supplements. Not to mention that I love the color and style. Can fit up to nine of my largest capsules." — Kaci Allen
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in seven styles).
12. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan.
www.amazon.com
I use this spray nightly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful!
Promising review:"This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have backups and never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." — Carlos G
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 for a pack of two.
13. A set of stoneware bowls that are so lovely and well made they could easily be mistaken for a West Elm item — their depth makes them perfect for everything from salad to cereal *and* they're dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
These bowls are microwave-, freezer-, dishwasher-, and oven safe!
Promising review:"I legit think salads taste better out of this dish. I can't explain it but it's amazing and I'm now eating more salads. Maybe because a bowl holds dressing better than a plate and I'm not worried about running the greens off the side of a plate but can scoop them up with ease with the edges of this dish? Questions that don't really need answering I suppose but illustrates how great this dish is. Buy the set, you won't regret it." — ANH
Get a set of two from Amazon for $26.99+ (also available in a set of four and in four styles).
14. A Carhartt beanie that'll keep your head nice 'n' toasty without sacrificing an ounce of style — these are a tried-and-true classic you'll likely find yourself ordering in different colors.
Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com
Both my husband and my toddler (you can get your mini-me one here) have Carhartt beanies, so it was only a matter of time before I ordered one for myself. They really are super soft, stretchy, and comfortable.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 14 colors).

Promising review:"I use this literally every day. It works so well; my hair feels great and grows pretty well. For reference, I have curly hair, which is very fine. if I use too much, my hair looks and feels greasy, but it also does that with most products. I just use a few sprays on my scalp, and it's perfect." — Lexi
Get it from Amazon for $7.67.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Definitely a staple in my hair care routine!" —
Julia
Get it from Amazon for $7.59.
24. A Boon folding toddler tower you can stow away when your tyke isn't begging you to use it. (So, never?) It's sturdy, has grippy nonslip feet, an adjustable height, and is exactly what your dying-to-always-be-hands-on kid needs to partake in nightly cooking or daily crafting.
My son is a little over 2.5 and extremely interested in being involved and independent, which is a bit exasperating. We didn't have the right tools to let him help safely in the kitchen until this toddler tower was introduced to our lives. It's not bulky, which is great because we have enough kid stuff all over our home, and I love that at the end of the day, I can fold it up and put it aside. It's very sturdy, but I had my son practice climbing up and down on his own in a carpeted area for good measure (he did so like a pro). It can easily be wiped clean (love) and holds up to 50 lbs, so it'll be useful for quite some time!
Promising review:"The standing pad is large and slip-proof, providing a sturdy and safe place for toddlers to stand. The bar is great to keep toddlers secure and contained on the stand. The bar folds down, and the tower stores it conveniently. The white color is chic. The materials are high quality. I looked months for a toddler tower and I am extremely satisfied I purchased this one because of the quality, safety, and convenience to store." — Paige M.
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in white or grey).
25. A SinkShroom strainer you won't know how you lived without because it'll keep your kitchen sink unclogged no matter how much gunk you fill it with.
I bought this for myself, and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually, when my husband makes sauce from scratch, I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom (which comes from a small business!). My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer.
Promising review:"I've been a fan of the SinkShroom and TubShroom, and this is the best product from the line so far. My kitchen sinks simply do not clog anymore, so there's no more reaching into a bunch of water to unclog anything with my hand." — Brady Amerson
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
26. A super absorbent floral dish drying mat to bring pretty vibes into your kitchen and to your least favorite chore (doing the dishes, siiiiiiiigh).
The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can easily rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding.
Promising review: "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." — Nana M.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors/styles).
27. An outlet light for anyone who has accidentally walked into a wall one (or two) times too many when getting up in the middle for a glass of water — this lil' gadget will subtly light your way without the need for a bulkier option.
Amazon
Promising review:"I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." — LMK
Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in four colors and three sizes).
28. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — toss your old concealer aside! This one has become the internet's holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. I've personally tested this out and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
29. A mason jar cold brew maker in case you'd like your coffee maker to fit in with your home's carefully curated aesthetic. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories.
Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and colors).
30. And a cult-favorite Anthropologie Icon Juice Glass that'll make every morning cup of iced coffee feel like an Instagram-worthy moment.
I am such a sucker for these glasses. My husband is getting increasingly annoyed at how little space there is in our kitchen cabinet because I cannot stop acquiring these cups. They have a nice weight to them, wash really well (I typically just run hot water through them for a bit then dry them with a towel since they are not dishwasher safe), and make my morning coffee feel a bit fancier. Love, love, love them.
Promising review:"I love these glasses. Heavy quality glass. They are great for cocktails, juice, or a Diet Coke." — Kpeppers
Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in 24 styles).
31. Or an aesthetic bear–covered mug in case you actually drink your coffee hot — it'll be the cutest one in your cabinet, is microwave safe, and likely to become as cherished as the plush teddy you don't admit to still snuggling with every night.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
ChomChom is a small business.
Promising reviews:"The ChomChom Roller really works. I have two German shepherds who shed SO much, so this was necessary. The ChomChom Roller picked up SO much fur the vacuum couldn't." — Ezra Gordon
"I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." — Meowser
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in black and in a mini size).
33. Basic white sneakers for anyone who is forever searching for the perfect footwear to pair with their casual outfits — these will complete your closet without the hefty price tag of other simple but elevated sneaks'. Reviewers love how supportive they feel and that they have zero break-in period.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought these shoes prior to a long weekend getaway to New Orleans. They did not disappoint! I walked 14 miles in three days and my feet were 100% comfortable! These shoes run true to size and were perfect for my size 7 narrow feet. Also, the arch support in these babies is amazing!" — Melissa
Get them from Amazon for $28.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and four styles).
34. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway
Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in seven styles).
35. And a triangular book page holder — an absolutely genius idea for readers who simply *need* somewhere handy to place their book when they start to fall asleep mid-reading. It perfectly fits on nightstands and is designed to *~aesthetically~* hold your spot — it also has a place to put your glasses and a phone. How much better does this evening sound than shouting across the table in a crowded restaurant? Sign me up.
Amazon
Besuerte Store is a small business. The larger size has a spot for a cup as well!
Promising review:"I took a chance on this one despite it having very few reviews. It took a little bit to arrive but the product was well worth the wait. I love that it is a beautiful solid wood piece and was packaged in a way that didn't require assembly and would not be damaged upon delivery. Overall, I'd say it exceeded my expectations and is priced well." — R. Young
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles).

37. A bow-shaped resin night-light to add some coquette girly-girl vibes to your middle-of-the-night bathroom visits. It'll also look oh-so-cute during the day when it's not lit!
Urban Outfitters
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $18, and check out these bow string lights!
38. A 100% leakproof 30-ounce stainless-steel BrüMate Era tumbler because there are few things as exciting these days as a shiny new emotional support cup.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer calls this her go-to water bottle. She says, "Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!"

Promising review:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors).
40. And stylish Beats Studio Pro headphones that'll be worth the splurge, I promise. They have built-in spatial audio (it creates a surround sound–like experience), over 40 hours of battery, noise-canceling and transparency modes, and are ridiculously easy to pair via Bluetooth.
Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
I got the Beats Solo 4 headphones for Christmas and was so excited that 1. they were pink and 2. to really try out my first pair of over-the-ear headphones. The sound quality was fabulous compared to the earbuds I've always used, but I was a little displeased with how the ear cups felt over my ears. I felt like I couldn't wear them for long periods of time or that I needed to take my earrings off to feel more comfortable. Then I was offered the chance to test out the Beats Studio Pro headphones (the ones Kim Kardashian helped design) and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to compare the two styles. Right off the bat I prefer the Studio Pros, solely because the ear cups are a bit larger and cushier — they are so comfy I can easily wear them for hours and nearly forget they're on my head. They charge quickly and *stay* charged for what feels like forever. It took me two seconds to connect them to both my computer and my phone *and* it's extremely easy to swap between the two. I'm an immediate fan and, honestly, can't see myself using another set of headphones possibly ever.

The Jet2holidays TikTok Trend, Explained
People are sharing their vacation bloopers on TikTok, set to a UK vacation company's catchy ad. getty If you're a frequent TikTok scroller, chances are the Jet2holidays jingle is already stuck in your head—and Jess Glynne's decade-old Hold My Hand is playing on repeat. But if TikTok isn't your thing, or the viral video hasn't hit your feed yet, you might be wondering: why is Jet2, a United Kingdom-based, low-cost airline and vacation package company suddenly trending? According to a Google trend report today, search interest in Jet2holidays is at an all-time high and the search query for 'what is a jet 2 holiday' has nearly quadrupled in the past week. The surging search interest syncs up with a revived viral TikTok trend: Nearly 16,000 posts (and counting) have been made to the 12-second clip with the Jet2Holiday advertisement sound used in the background, starting off with Glynne crooning 'Darling hold my hand.' The majority of clips feature vacation bloopers that have no connection with Jet2holidays: It's like America's Funniest Home Videos meets the Instagram-era travel aesthetic during the peak summer travel season. Think: Getting tossed while whitewater rafting and bobbing in the river, being catapulted into the air while inner tubing on a lake, or trying to get off a boat, missing the dock and taking an unexpected plunge in the water. Some of the clips reveal disappointing vacation moments, like a hotel room tour when the creator @bben9450 pulls back a window covering to reveal a tiny window. Here's a primer on the Jet2holidays TikTok trend. What is a Jet 2 Holiday? Those in the United States probably had never heard fo Jet2holidays until the sound became a TikTok sensation. But for those in the United Kingdom, the advert for the vacation company is an unrelenting ear worm, with a voiceover exclaiming: 'Nothing beats a Jet2holiday. And right now you can save £50 off per person.' That's £200 off for a family of four, the ad calculates for its listeners. 'This advert is now embedded in the British public's minds after ten years of non-stop onslaught, even being played in nightclubs up and down the country,' writes Hannah Cowton-Barnes, entertainment editor for Tech Advisor. While those in the UK have been inundated with the company's ads, here's a primer for the uninitiated: Jet2holidays offers vacation packages, including all-inclusives, in hotspots throughout Europe, ranging from the Amalfi Coast to Greek islands and more. What's the Jet2holidays TikTok Trend? Your company's jingle going viral on TikTok could be a good thing—it's got people searching for Jet2holidays, afterall. But it's also become an anthem for people making light of their hilarious vacation mishaps that don't have anything to do with the company. Some of the top trending videos include a whitewater rafting trip that turns into bumper tubes, flipping rafters in the water, which has amassed 3.7 million likes and a cruise ship traveler who gets stuck in a waterslide when she loses momentum, the caption saying it prompted an emergency evacuation. While the sound is currently trending, it's not the first time that the company's jingle has been the background sound for vacation-gone-wrong bloopers. Know Your Meme points out the Jet2holidays jingle was used in November 2024, with a TikTok video of out-of-control camels in a desert.

Woman, 35, Travels to Turkey for Mommy Makeover After Having 3 Kids. The Result and Price Are Equally Shocking (Exclusive)
Social media influencer Cayley traveled to Turkey for a mommy makeover and paid a fraction of what the procedure would have cost in the U.S. She estimated it would have cost around $40K to get the surgery done locally in Arizona, but she paid less than $15K for an entire 10-day trip to Turkey, including the surgery Cayley tells PEOPLE she had a great experience despite how many people have left comments on her posts criticizing medical tourismContent Creator Cayley says she always knew that when she was done having kids she would get a mommy makeover. The mom of three — who had her children in the span of four years — briefly considered getting surgery in the U.S., but quickly realized that it was not within her budget. "I live in Arizona, so obviously Scottsdale's right here, it is plastic surgery central," Cayley, a rising TikTok influencer, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I started looking up some surgeons in my area and I'm like, 'I have three young kids, I can't spend $40,000 on this.' So that ruled that out." Cayley, 35, then did her research on medical tourism. She says she quite simply googled "plastic surgery capitals," which led her to Mexico, Colombia and Turkey. Her proximity to Mexico was appealing, but her desire to travel to Turkey made it the winner. She continued researching facilities in Turkey and reached out to those she found. Cayley says the first place she contacted, the office of Dr. Safa Manav in Instanbul, was the one she instantly clicked with because she felt comfortable with the correspondence. "They were so warm, friendly, nice, kind, caring, just kind of checked all the boxes," she says of the initial conversations, which were all over WhatsApp. She then sent photos of herself to the patient coordinator, asking for a mommy makeover, which typically includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation and liposuction. They provided her with a price quote that shocked her. "It almost felt surreal," she says of the price. Cayley put her deposit down in February and traveled to Turkey in May. She was there for 10 nights, and had a "VIP experience," she says. She stayed in a medical hotel that was partnered with the clinic where she had her surgery, plus breakfast, transfers to the facility and airport transportation were all included in her plastic surgery package. For her actual procedure, Cayley opted for a traditional mommy makeover — and she brought her own mother along for emotional support (and to aid in recovery). "I had a full tummy tuck with a little bit of muscle repair and then a little bit of lipo on my sides. I also had a breast lift and augmentation," she explains. Her surgery took place on her third day in Istanbul, and she then spent two nights in the hospital facility before going back to her hotel. For the next handful of days, Cayley was able to rest, relax and recover, though she had the option to have a nurse come and check on her. She says she did have her come at first but felt like she was doing just fine and opted out of that after the second day. "The first couple of days truly were rough," she says of her recovery, explaining how it was easier to be away from home vs. recovering in her house. "My kids don't understand. Having that time of total rest and recovery was so nice." Once she felt up to it, she and her mom explored Istanbul before heading back to the States. She says that getting up and moving around made her feel better. "Everyone's recovery is different, but it was great for me," she says. "I got to actually see [Turkey] and enjoy it." Cayley, who shares all sorts of "hot mom things" on TikTok, documented her mommy makeover for her audience, and she very quickly got a lot of questions, including what the experience was like in Turkey, how she felt about the results, how her husband felt about the results and, of course, how much she actually paid. She's largely been an open book about the whole thing, sharing updates on her healing process since arriving back in Arizona (though she waited a while to show off her belly button because it looked "crazy" while it healed). The healing process has gone well for her, and she hasn't run into any setbacks. She also noted that her husband was very supportive. "I told him, I was like, 'Aren't you excited I'm going to come home with new boobs?' And he's like, 'Honestly, whatever makes you happy,'" she gushes. "The right words to say!" The price was what made everything worth it for Cayley. She breaks it all down for PEOPLE: "So $11,000 included all my procedures, my hospital garments, the hotel stay [for 10 nights], the VIP transfers [to the clinic and the airport], breakfasts, etc. And then the flight roundtrip was around $1,500. So I think total, I'd say $14,000 from start to finish. That includes everything. Shopping, eating out, little things we did. That was 2024 pricing they gave me. I believe the price has slightly increased now." The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported in 2022 that a mommy makeover could cost at least $20,000, but it varies greatly based on where you live, who your doctor is and what the scope of the surgery ends up being. Cayley is loving her new body now that it's almost fully healed and she has the confidence to wear her bikinis again. One of the only drawbacks she's experienced with her massive social media audience is the handful of comments she's gotten on her posts criticizing medical tourism. "I had to actually filter my comments," she admits, adding that some of them got really aggressive and xenophobic. "They don't think those problems could also happen here in the States? Guess what? They do. People always have something to say. I had a great experience with my doctor." Read the original article on People
