A tinted lip balm that is incredibly similar to the popular Clinique "Black Honey" lip balm — but for about $18 less! Formulated with a hydrating mix of vitamin E, beeswax, and candelilla wax, this smooth, non-sticky balm also leaves your lips with a gorgeously natural-looking color that is adored by all different skin tones. You know how the saying goes: look good, feel good!
A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal meant to encourage you to explore your feelings. It features different questions and thought experiments to help you both learn about yourself and let go of certain things. It's time for some much-needed ~inner healing~ and we're so proud of you for it!
A pair of Savage X Fenty seamless high-waist leggings that are, without a doubt, the BEST leggings I have ever owned (and I own a lot of leggings). They are incredibly soft and thick with flatlock seams, so they don't leave uncomfy marks on the stomach — and you don't ever have to worry about constantly tugging them up...and VPL? Don't know her!
Or a pair of cute and comfy crossover flare leggings so you can feel stylish, even when you just want to have a bed-rotting day. These will make you want to take a quick mirror selfie before you inevitably take a nap in them.
A TikTok-viral "Soft" perfume rollerball with notes of rose, vetiver, amber, and vanilla — a sweet and decadent scent that reviewers are constantly comparing to the $65 Pink Sugar perfume (and sugar cookies... yum). Carry this convenient little bottle around in your purse or car, and you'll always have a delicious-smelling little pick-me-up that's sure to receive lots of compliments.
A cult-favorite popcorn salt if you find yourself craving movie theater popcorn while you cry to your favorite rom-com at home. Reviewers swear that this stuff *actually* tastes just as buttery and salty as the stuff you find at your local AMC or Regal. Definitely beats spending almost $20 on a movie ticket when you secretly only went for the snacks.
A set of Globbles that'll be your new favorite fidget toys. You can use them as stress balls or throw them at the wall and watch them satisfyingly roll back down. And the best part? They won't leave behind any sticky residue!

Almost 300,000 reviewers swear by this cruelty- and paraben-free, budget-friendly mascara (and I'm one of them)! It's less than $5 (the price of a latte), it's lengthening, volumizing, and way easier to apply than fake lashes. What else could ya ask for?

Divisive new app lets women put bad dates on blast — and men are freaking out: ‘Digital vigilantism'

There's a new app causing men to break into a cold sweat — and it's not because they forgot their wallet on a first date. Tea, a women-only app that lets users post anonymous Yelp-style reviews of men they've dated, has shot to the top of the Apple App Store — and smack into the middle of a digital war between safety and slander. The platform, launched in 2023, lets women share stories and warnings about exes, Tinder flops, and potential predators. Advertisement 3 Forget ghosting — this app has men begging to be left off the grid. Studio Romantic – Users can toss out 'green flags' or 'red flags' — or, in some cases, blast a guy's entire romantic résumé into cyberspace. The feed is full of candid commentary, catfish alerts, and more than a few 'avoid this man' declarations. Advertisement 'I see men freaking out today about this Tea app,' TikTokker @azalialexi said in a recent video. 'If you don't want things like this to exist then maybe look into advocating for women's safety and actually holding your fellow men accountable.' Tea's website claims the app was born after its founder, Sean Cook, 'witnessed his mother's terrifying experience with online dating — not only being catfished but unknowingly engaging with men who had criminal records.' It now boasts nearly 1 million users, and it's not just the safety features — like reverse image search and criminal background checks — that are turning heads. The public reviews are what really set the app ablaze. Advertisement 3 Launched in 2023, the app lets women dish on shady dates, dodgy exes and full-on predators — one swipe and horror story at a time. .tiktok/@theteapartygirls 'It's kind of like a Carfax situation,' Sabrina Henriquez, 28, who found out some of her exes had less-than-stellar ratings on Tea, told The Washington Post in a recent interview. 'It kind of saved [other women] from putting themselves in that situation.' Advertisement But not everyone's here for the gossip. 'I think the app has good intentions, it's just very messy,' Donovan James, 21, also told the outlet. 'You're always going to look bad in somebody's eyes.' Others worry it's turning into digital vigilantism. Apps like these or Facebook groups like 'Are We Dating The Same Guy' are the 'equivalent of whisper networks,' Chiara Wilkinson wrote for Dazed. Or as Dazed writer James Greig put it: 'It's digital vigilantism; the TikTok equivalent of a citizen's arrest.' Douglas Zytko, a professor at the University of Michigan at Flint, said to The Washington Post that the app is filling a void dating apps never addressed: safety. 3 Still, fears of false claims linger — and TikTok is crawling with jittery dudes doom-scrolling the damage. Mdv Edwards – 'There are multiple studies now showing that around 10 percent of overall cases of sexual assault are attributed to a dating app,' he noted. Advertisement Still, false accusations remain a fear. TikTok is now flooded with men nervously scrolling. 'Hot take: The tea app is toxic,' wrote @johnnysaysgo, who had a female friend go undercover to see what women were saying about him. 'These women were clearly just upset… I was honest with them and respectful.' User @ warned: 'Be careful.' He added that he can see the 'vision' behind the app but noted that he knows 'how vile' people who might use it could be. Advertisement And users like @kristakilduff are just enjoying the drama after getting accepted into the app. 'The men are not safe,' she said with a laugh in a recent clip. 'The Tea app has me weak — stay safe.' The backlash — and buzz — around Tea is just the latest sign that the digital dating landscape is shifting, and not necessarily for the better. As The Post previously reported, not all matches made in algorithm heaven are built to last. Advertisement A new study published in Computers in Human Behavior found that married couples who met online reported lower levels of satisfaction and stability than those who met IRL — a phenomenon dubbed the 'online dating effect.' Researchers pointed to factors like geographic distance, delayed family approval and lack of shared social circles as possible causes. So, while dating apps might be great for scoring first dates and flings, they may not always deliver happily ever after.

Man Wasn't Sure How Disabled Cat Was Getting on Bed, So He Films in Secret

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 pet parent discovered his disabled cat on the bed—leaving him wondering how he managed to get up there—until the parent finally set up a camera to film the feline's impressive method. Gabriel, known on TikTok as @chilisbarandgril, owns a tuxedo cat named Grendel. Ever since adopting him nearly two years ago, Gabriel knew his feline wasn't a normal cat. He came with a unique strut. This is because Grendel has cerebellar hypoplasia. This developmental condition occurs when the cerebellum—part of the brain that controls fine-motor skills, balance and coordination—fails to develop properly, an article from VCA Animal Hospitals said. Also known as wobbly cat syndrome, cerebellar hypoplasia is not painful or contagious, but it is untreatable. Cats with this condition quickly adapt. They learn how to walk around their homes, mastering the art of the wobble. And in Grendel's case, he's managed to find a way onto his owner's bed without a ramp or stairs. Gabriel would find Grendel lounging on his bed, time and time again. Confused, he finally decided to leave a hidden camera in the room to find out how his cat continued to get on the bed, which he shared on TikTok earlier this week with the caption: "Grendel may be wobbly, but he is also determined." In the clip, Grendel pulled himself as close to the edge of the bed as possible. He reached his front paws up to the side to get a grip, but it took a few tries as he lost his balance. Then, he used his arm strength to pull his body up, clawing onto the blankets and hanging for dear life in case he slipped. Newsweek reached out to @chilisbarandgril via TikTok for additional information and comment. Screenshots from a July 23 TikTok video of a disabled cat managing to get onto his owner's bed without any assistance.

Gabriel said he's tried everything to help give Grendel the tools he needs to climb the bed: stairs, ramps, different materials, some with railings. But he will not try it, and if he does, he falls. Viewer Reactions Within two days of posting, the TikTok video amassed over 5.6 million views and 934,000 likes. "Wobbly cats have no idea they're disabled, they're just built on determination," wrote a viewer. Another added: "Get that boy in the Paralympics right now." A third person said: "Why's everyone freaking out??? It's actually good exercise and strength building for the little guy. Let him be mischievous and as independent as possible purrr."
