Oh, and once you realize how much easier (and better for our planet) this is than liquid detergent/pods, you'll never want to go back, so prepare wisely now.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these laundry tablets. I have always felt guilty about throwing such a large plastic jug away, and now I don't have to! I love how compact these tablets are; it makes them perfect even for traveling, and they leave my clothes smelling great. They work well with both hot and cold water, so I have no complaints!" —Eme N.Price: $20.99 (originally $29.99)
Supergoop best-sellers for 20% off, including the wildly popular Glowscreen SPF 40 for anyone who wants a super glowy, lit-from-within complexion at all times. Better yet, it doubles as a makeup-gripping primer, so your glow will shine through your foundation while keeping you protected.
Promising review: "I've tried a lot of sunscreen and primers over the last year. I mean A LOT. My skin is super sensitive, acne-prone, and prone to dryness and redness. (Complicated, I know) This stuff doesn't feel heavy and moisturizes really well while not feeling like I'll break out later. It protected my skin from sunburn during six hours at Six Flags. I don't wear a ton of makeup, but the foundation and bronzer I wore didn't budge or crease. It makes your skin glow like [wild], which alone is a bit much for me, but under some foundation, it looks amazing! Def worth the buy and will buy again." —H.E.Price: $17.60+ (originally $22+; available in three sizes and four shades; see more Supergoop deals here)

Use this to stream over a million movies and shows, plus it even has an AI-powered TV search to help you find exactly what you need without struggling to type it in.
Promising review: "The Alexa Fire Stick might be the greatest invention since drive-thru coffee. I plugged it in, blinked twice, and boom — it was up and running. I didn't need a tech degree or a YouTube tutorial narrated by someone whispering in a British accent. Setup? Ridiculously simple. Navigation? Smooth like jazz. Lag? Nonexistent. This thing moves faster than I do when someone says, 'Free snacks in the break room.' I press the mic button and say, 'Find mystery shows,' and Alexa serves them up like a psychic with a popcorn addiction. No scrolling, no back-and-forth, no spelling out titles like I'm on Wheel of Fortune. The layout is clean and makes actual sense. Everything I want is right there. It's like it knows I'm too tired to think after 8 p.m. and hands me exactly what I didn't know I needed. Bonus: It's tiny. I've lost it in the couch cushions twice, but it always comes back. Like a loyal little entertainment boomerang. If you're tired of complicated remotes, laggy interfaces, and shouting, 'WHERE IS NETFLIX?' into the void — get this. Easy. Fast. Zero drama. Just like I pretend to be in real life." —momsaysitsgoodPrice: $24.99 (originally $49.99)
A Burt's Bees after sun lotion for 38% off, because sunburns happen, and the best thing to be when it does is prepared! This helps to soothe and hydrate red, itchy post-sun skin.
Promising review: "I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn. It was unbelievable. I applied this 4 times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day. The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better. I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." —CarolinaPrice: $7.02 (typically $11.40)
A ridiculously durable, windproof travel umbrella for 50% off with a LIFETIME warranty, making it the true last umbrella you'll ever buy.

Check out a TikTok of the Tumella Umbrella in action. Promising review: "Why would anyone want to purchase another umbrella with the warranty this one gives? Not like you will need the warranty with this build quality. Almost every umbrella I have owned has five, maybe six, thin metal rods held together with a tiny pin to form the frame. This thing has reinforced ribs, is as light as you can get, looks great, and all at a low price. Yeah, this is all I need." —E. SmokerPrice: $14.98+ (typically $29.99; available in 21 colors and packs of two and three)

Promising review: "This is absolutely the best stain remover I ever used. I had shirts that looked like they had oil stains on them. I tried other stain removers without luck. When I got Puracy I pre treated the stains then put a little more in and washed. The stains were completely gone. I was able to wear the shirts again!!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $9.99+ (typically $13.99; available in different sizes) — and shop all the Puracy deals here

Promising review: "BEST BLACKOUT CURTAINS EVER. These are the best quality and are true blackout curtains. Both aesthetically pleasing and work even better than the blackout shield we previously had. Our second set of these panels and I don't know that we'll ever buy a different set because these are truly the best! " —JPAPrice: $24.84+ (originally $39.99; available 14 sizes and 23 colors)

Yes, that means it works for hot *and* cold drinks!
Promising review: "I haven't really tested how leak-proof it is, but otherwise it's a sound travel item, both compact and lightweight enough to stick into a side cargo pants pocket, for example. It's a good size for tea, smoothies, or even to use as a small pasta bowl in a pinch. Or a catch-all container spot in a hotel room — for pens, notes, spare change, receipts, keys, etc. The lid helps keep it clean in storage and on the go. I would buy another, and perhaps will, just to keep handy in the car console." —Britte A. LynamPrice: $21.04+ (originally $31.95+; available in seven on-sale colors at various discounts)

Promising review: "Liquid I.V. does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let's talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn't either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn't stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" —Disney DivaPrice: $16.54 for 16 packets (typically $23.62; available in 16 more flavors) — and shop all the Liquid I.V. deals here

I live in a NYC rental and try to avoid putting holes in the walls. I have 40+ pieces of wall art hanging on the walls with these strips. —ElizabethPromising review: "I use these all over my house to hang pictures and not damage my walls with holes. They are also super easy to peel on and off without damaging the paint. They also stay put and hold a solid amount of weight." —TCM 0523Price: $12.84 (normally $22.99) — and check out all the Command deals here

And to top it all off, its oval-shaped puff can reach every little corner of your face.
Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation.Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go to foundation from now on." —AJ BondPrice: $10+ (originally $25, typically $19.99 on Amazon; available in 40 shades and a mini size) — and shop all the TirTir deals here

It charges my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time—no messy cables, no overheating, and no guesswork about placement. Just drop the device on the pad and it starts charging instantly. What really impressed me is how fast and consistent the charging is. My phone goes from 20% to 80% noticeably quicker than with other chargers I've tried, and it never disconnects or stalls. The build quality feels solid, and the design looks great on my nightstand—clean, modern, and minimal." —Akiena KPrice: $17.98+ (originally $25.99; best deal on the black color — be sure to hit "redeem" on the 25% off promo code for the full discount)

Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" —NalaPrice: $13.30 for a set of four (typically $19; sometimes $15.20 at Amazon)

Promising review: "If you're looking to stay organized on the go for yourself or with kids, I cannot recommend this enough! I've used packing cubes before that were poor quality. The quality of this product exceeded my expectations. The material and zippers are lightweight yet durable. Packing for my daughter and me on our last trip was a breeze with these packing cubes! Highly highly recommend!" —es86Price: $14.44 (originally $24.99; available in 17 colors — not all colors on sale)

It's not sticky, how I thought it might be, but it's not too buttery either. It stays on ALL night, which is a huge win for me because I sleep on my stomach and usually lip masks rub off at night. But this stays! It's really great and my lips feel so soft! I definitely recommend. Especially if you struggle with dry, flaky lips like me." —Samantha GarverPrice: $16.80+ (originally $24; available in six flavors) — and shop all the Laneige deals here

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." —PlaceholderPrice: $4.80 (originally $6; available ih four shades) — and shop all the Catrice deals here

Promising review: "These are the comfiest pants. I usually buy big baggy sweatpants because I hate the tight cinching around my stomach from leggings or other tight pants. But the sweats are not as cute and don't give you the nice booty visual. I hesitantly bought these pants because the reviews raved about how comfy they were, and the reviews were absolutely right! These are tight around my waist, but not in a way that's uncomfortable at all. They sit nicely. They also give you a bangin' booty, whether you have one or not! Highly recommend this product. Good price for the quality." —SarahPrice: $14.23+ (typically $28.99+; available in women's sizes XS–XXL, four inseam lengths, and 32 colors)

After I get out of the shower when my hair is still damp I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on and then after I blow dry I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days!

I was never good with these type of eyeliners, but after reviewing this product I figured I will give it a try...and OMG...best eyeliner I ever owned. It goes on smooth with a sharp line, no messing up. From the first time I applied it I couldn't believe how well it worked. Cat-eye done in a second or two...No need to re-apply or fixing it later as it stays on nicely all day. I use it with the little black palette from Lorac, which came with primer, and I am not sure if that helps but I put my eye shadow on, then eyeliner and I am good to go. It stays put ALL DAY, just as the name promises. And as other reviewers mentioned, using this product you will be a pro in applying eyeliner in no time. That's how nicely it goes on. I can't say enough good things about it!" —BeataR.Price: $16.80 (originally $24)

Wonderful!" —Willy&LillyPrice: $9.74 for a pack of two (originally $12.99; also available in a pack of four)

I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of hydration. It absorbs into the skin beautifully!Promising review: "This product is everything everyone says it is and more. If I could recommend one product that is the key to glass skin, it would be this. It gives an immediate glow, and makes the skin look so supple and healthy. The texture wasn't off-puting for me, but it is a bit slimy and stringy when you first pump out the product. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue, and it is unscented. Can't say enough good things about this product and the brand. You need this product in your life!" —Sarah DeebPrice: $12.99 (originally $25) — and shop all the Cosrx products deals here

Promising review: "I rent and can't install a motion light outside my door. I don't like leaving my porch light on all the time, just in case it's dark when I come home. This is the perfect alternative. I can set it to come on at dusk and turn it off at a specific time. I turned the brightness down to light just my doorway, so as not to disturb my neighbor. I love that it can be controlled with Alexa, too. Great light!" —KitPrice: $22.99 (originally $34.99; also available individually) — and shop all the Kasa Smart lighting deals here

Promising review: "These bags hold a ton! They are easy to carry, the plastic window makes them very convenient for storage, and they fold up into neat thin squares when not in use. These are a lot more convenient than plastic boxes and can hold an unbelievable amount of stuff." —Daddy's CarPrice: $18.69 for a set of six (typically $32.99)

Promising review: "Magic potion. Where has this been all my life? This stuff is amazing! At 31, I am trying to take care of my skin more as I noticed my face looks "tired." I started to use this and saw immediate results. I apply it after washing/using a derma roller and follow up with applying moisturizer afterward. My husband has even noticed a difference after using for a week and has said things like "your face is glowing", "your face looks radiant", "you look different, younger", "whatever you are doing is working". Bottom line, if you're in search of an anti-aging serum, stop looking and buy this." —J.D.M."I struggled with acne for over 12 years. I tried medications, pretty much every skincare line out there, but thanks to a random girl on TikTok, I found this product and will never go back. This is the only serum that has helped clear my scars! I never write reviews, but because I noticed a difference within days of using, I had to write one. I'm only on month two, and I have seen a noticeable difference. My skin looks clear/lighter/glowing/young for the first time since my preteen years. I use this vitamin C serum and a simple wash and moisturizer/sunscreen every day, and that's it!" —RebekahPrice: $24.99 for the 2-ounce bottle (originally $48.99)

This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlicePrice: $13.80 (typically $24.99) — and shop other Medix 5.5 deals here
A bodycon lounge dress for 20% off perfect for fans of Skims looking to spare themselves a few bucks — this versatile, figure-hugging dress has just the right amount of compression to mimic the iconic style and stay oh-so-comfortable for long periods of wear.
Promising review: "I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed, and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don't think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It's one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" —Makayla CurtisPrice: $19.99 (typically $24.99; available in women's sizes XXS–XL and in nine colors).

I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly. I will repurchase again and again." —TlongPrice: $11.99 (originally $17.02; also available in two-packs) — and shop all the Abib deals here

Promising review: "It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin I definitely recommend washing your face first and apply it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas….maybe because it's not cheap." —Justina"Saw it on TikTok and already use their acne patches, so I was sold. Works just as well.

My internet router is located in my master bedroom, but my office is in the middle of my house, meaning I didn't have a strong signal for work. I called my internet provider, and they wanted to charge me a lot of money to extend the internet across my house. I ended up buying this extender to help with the signal. I'm glad I purchased it because now I have coverage on the other side of my house. It was easy to install, and the app is super simple, all for a great price. Thanks to the TP-Link extender, without it, I would've had to go back to work at the office." —JaryPrice: $19.99 (originally $29.99) — and shop all the TP-Link deals here

(Complicated, I know) This stuff doesn't feel heavy and moisturizes really well while not feeling like I'll break out later. It protected my skin from sunburn during six hours at Six Flags. I don't wear a ton of makeup, but the foundation and bronzer I wore didn't budge or crease. It makes your skin glow like [wild], which alone is a bit much for me, but under some foundation, it looks amazing! Def worth the buy and will buy again." —H.E.Price: $17.60+ (originally $22+; available in three sizes and four shades; see more Supergoop deals here)

Promising review: "The Alexa Fire Stick might be the greatest invention since drive-thru coffee. I plugged it in, blinked twice, and boom — it was up and running. I didn't need a tech degree or a YouTube tutorial narrated by someone whispering in a British accent. Setup? Ridiculously simple. Navigation? Smooth like jazz. Lag? Nonexistent. This thing moves faster than I do when someone says, 'Free snacks in the break room.' I press the mic button and say, 'Find mystery shows,' and Alexa serves them up like a psychic with a popcorn addiction. No scrolling, no back-and-forth, no spelling out titles like I'm on Wheel of Fortune. The layout is clean and makes actual sense. Everything I want is right there. It's like it knows I'm too tired to think after 8 p.m. and hands me exactly what I didn't know I needed. Bonus: It's tiny. I've lost it in the couch cushions twice, but it always comes back. Like a loyal little entertainment boomerang. If you're tired of complicated remotes, laggy interfaces, and shouting, 'WHERE IS NETFLIX?' into the void — get this. Easy. Fast. Zero drama. Just like I pretend to be in real life." —momsaysitsgoodPrice: $24.99 (originally $49.99)

I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." —CarolinaPrice: $7.02 (typically $11.40)

This thing has reinforced ribs, is as light as you can get, looks great, and all at a low price. Yeah, this is all I need." —E.

It's a good size for tea, smoothies, or even to use as a small pasta bowl in a pinch. Or a catch-all container spot in a hotel room — for pens, notes, spare change, receipts, keys, etc. The lid helps keep it clean in storage and on the go. I would buy another, and perhaps will, just to keep handy in the car console." —Britte A. LynamPrice: $21.04+ (originally $31.95+; available in seven on-sale colors at various discounts)

Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let's talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn't either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood.

Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go to foundation from now on." —AJ BondPrice: $10+ (originally $25, typically $19.99 on Amazon; available in 40 shades and a mini size) — and shop all the TirTir deals here

It goes on smooth with a sharp line, no messing up. From the first time I applied it I couldn't believe how well it worked. Cat-eye done in a second or two...No need to re-apply or fixing it later as it stays on nicely all day. I use it with the little black palette from Lorac, which came with primer, and I am not sure if that helps but I put my eye shadow on, then eyeliner and I am good to go.

Promising review: "Magic potion. Where has this been all my life? This stuff is amazing! At 31, I am trying to take care of my skin more as I noticed my face looks "tired." I started to use this and saw immediate results. I apply it after washing/using a derma roller and follow up with applying moisturizer afterward. My husband has even noticed a difference after using for a week and has said things like "your face is glowing", "your face looks radiant", "you look different, younger", "whatever you are doing is working". Bottom line, if you're in search of an anti-aging serum, stop looking and buy this." —J.D.M."I struggled with acne for over 12 years. I tried medications, pretty much every skincare line out there, but thanks to a random girl on TikTok, I found this product and will never go back. This is the only serum that has helped clear my scars! I never write reviews, but because I noticed a difference within days of using, I had to write one. I'm only on month two, and I have seen a noticeable difference. My skin looks clear/lighter/glowing/young for the first time since my preteen years. I use this vitamin C serum and a simple wash and moisturizer/sunscreen every day, and that's it!" —RebekahPrice: $24.99 for the 2-ounce bottle (originally $48.99)

It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlicePrice: $13.80 (typically $24.99) — and shop other Medix 5.5 deals here

Promising review: "I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed, and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don't think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It's one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" —Makayla CurtisPrice: $19.99 (typically $24.99; available in women's sizes XXS–XL and in nine colors).

David Letterman hurls fiery rant at ‘gutless' CBS over Stephen Colbert's ‘Late Show' cancellation
David Letterman delivered a fiery rant against CBS and parent company Paramount for cancelling Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show,' calling the decision 'gutless' and 'pure cowardice' as he labeled his successor a martyr of the network. Letterman, who hosted CBS's late-night talk show for 22 years, passionately defended Colbert during his conversation with former 'Late Show' producers Barbara Gaines and Mary Barclay on Friday — just over a week since the show was axed. 'The fact that they killed the franchise and told Stephen to go,' Letterman said in a video posted to his YouTube channel. 'Now, for Stephen, I love this. He is a martyr. Good for him.' 6 David Letterman speaks out against CBS canceling the 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on July 25, 2025. Letterman/YouTube The 78-year-old comedian says Colbert had immortalized himself as the face of the network since he took over the iconic talk show in September 2015. '10 years ago, I quit and left,' Letterman said. 'Then Stephen Colbert comes along, and pretty quickly established himself as a precise, crisp, witty political satirist, and often his target has been the current administration. 'Based on that and just the overall entertainment quota of the show, drew a great audience and people became not addicted to but always looking forward to political satire from Stephen Colbert, he was very good at it. For 10 years, I think became the face of the network.' On July 17, CBS announced that it would cancel Colbert's show in 2026 due to financial reasons. The show was losing between $40 million and $50 million a year, The Post learned. 6 Letterman speaks with his former 'Late Night' staffers Barbara Gaines and Mary Barclay during a conversation posted to YouTube. Letterman/YouTube 6 Stephen Colbert sits at his desk during a shooting of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' inside the Ed Sullivan Theater on June 25, 2025. Scott Kowalchyk/CBS Letterman didn't believe the financial hardship claims were the reason for the cancellation, instead blaming the company executives who feared Paramount's sale to Skydance wouldn't go through. 'If they were losing this kind of money, you're telling me losing this kind of money happened yesterday. Yeah right,' he said. 'I bet they were losing this kind of money six weeks ago, or they have never been losing money.' The comedian called out the network's news branch, saying CBS News doesn't make money for the company and is still around. 'Take a look at CBS News, it's still in business and I'm not certain that that's a profit center,' he said. 6 The Ed Sullivan Theater in Manhattan where 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' is recorded on July 22, 2025. Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post 6 Paramount and CBS News signs at the Paramount offices on Broadway in Manhattan, NY on June 13, 2025. Christopher Sadowski 'I think the idea that they're hiding behind money and they're giving him another 10 months. That's a huge chunk of money they're gonna lose,' Letterman said. Colbert's cancellation came as CBS-Paramount Holdings finalized the sale of the network to Skydance Media for $8.4 billion on July 24. 'The f–k is Skydance? Honest to Christ. Is it a discount airline?' Letterman joked. 'I think one day, if not today, the people at CBS who have manipulated and handled this are going to be embarrassed because this is gutless,' he added. 6 Stephen Colbert during his opening monologue for his 'Late Show' on July 21, 2025. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert The purported $8.4 billion sale comes in light of CBS settling a lawsuit with President Donald Trump after the commander in chief accused CBS News' '60 Minutes' of deceptively editing an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the weeks leading up to the 2024 general election. Letterman called the settlement 'pure cowardice' as the lawsuit targeted the network's 'pinnacle of journalistic integrity.' Colbert, 61, has also called himself a 'martyr' as he blamed his show's demise on Trump, telling the commander in chief to 'go f–k yourself' in his opening monologue on July 21. Letterman wished the cancellation had happened on his watch as he now has to kiss 'Colbert's ring.' The comedian had already commented on the shock ending to the long-time show. 'You can't spell CBS without BS,' Letterman captioned a YouTube video of his old jokes against the Turner network.

I've become notorious as a 'vertical villain' in Chinese-style mini-dramas. Being evil is fun, but draining.
This as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with 32-year-old Sarah Moliski, based in Los Angeles. It has been edited for length and clarity. As an actor on the digital circuit, I usually get cast as the villain. In YouTube giant Dhar Mann 's videos, I was always the mean girl — the evil babysitter, the mean cheerleader, the lesson to be had. I think it's due to having blonde hair and a strong personality. Today, I've made a name as a villain in the vertical mini-drama space, an explosively popular format born in China. At this point, it really does come naturally to me. At ReelShort, I've won awards and have dedicated fan pages, and I'm proud of that. In a lot of verticals, the female lead is sweet and innocent, almost like a Disney princess. But if the villain's not there, there's no story. We bring the spice, the stunts, and the drama. Some of the stories are crazy. In " Hillbilly Girlie Marries a Billionaire," I take a man's sperm and get myself pregnant with it to prove we had sex. Then, it turns out it was the maid's husband's sperm. In " His One and Only Love," I hire a drunk doctor to give someone an abortion. There's a lot of food stuff where I'll throw food at people. Being a villain is fun because there are a lot of different layers to them. They're not just mean-spirited — there's always a reason. I like adding precursor stories about what hurt me, like having an unrequited crush on my enemies, or that my parents didn't love me. The mannerisms and physical comedy are like the fun little frosting on top. @reelshortapp The moment you've been waiting for... 🥁🔥 👑 The crown for Best Villain goes to @sarahmoshow😈 🖤 We loved every second of her wickedness🫦 ✨What was your favorite savage moment? Drop it below ⬇️ #reelshort #bestvillan #reelshortawards ♬ original sound - ReelShort - ReelShort But there are so many times when I feel bad — especially if it's with a greener actor or someone I'm not already friends with — because I'm an emotional person and it's hard for me to be mean to people. I've also gotten hate online for years, especially when I was on YouTube, but nowadays, most people understand that these are soap operas, and I've gotten better about not paying attention to it. Sometimes, I also feel like I have to overcompensate and be everyone's best friend on set. Sometimes I feel drained because there's already so much prep and memorization — we do 17 to 18 pages a day — and then you also want to be really cool and likeable. That can be exhausting — trying to prove that you aren't a villain. When I get home, I need to rot on the couch. I have absolutely no energy to socialize. Pushing for more powerful lead roles for women Being an aspiring actor in New York, you have to have a subway rat mentality. You have to make money to eat. It's a kind of grit and determination unique to the city. I've had other jobs in addition to acting, including as a red carpet host, standup comic, and personal assistant to celebrities. When I let go of achieving superstardom and comparative thinking and embraced the goal of simply making enough money to exist — and having fun while doing it — that's when I fell into verticals, and it changed everything for me. I shot my first vertical two years ago after submitting a self-tape online and booking the role of an 18-year-old bully in " Ms. Swan, Teach Me Love." I wasn't familiar with mini-dramas at the time, but after seeing new casting opportunities continue to be posted and others achieving success, I decided I wanted to try to become a staple in the space. Every actor's biggest dream is consistency. Even today, I'm astonished by the view counts. Even the ones that aren't doing as well are still getting 20 million views. And the fans are so invested. Today, myself and others are pushing for stronger female lead roles. I just wrapped my first lead, the best vertical script I've ever read. It's about a twin avenging her sister's murder. I'd describe the character as a mix of Angelina Jolie in "Tomb Raider" and Rosamund Pike in "Gone Girl." She's really fun and complex. In the future, I would love to help the vertical industry continue to grow. In addition to acting, I work in casting for ReelShort and also created a podcast. I like witnessing how this space is changing so many people's lives.
