Or a waterless dry shampoo *foam* if you just DON'T have time (or energy) for an "everything" shower. This lets you cancel out the grease and add some volume back to your locks without having to worry about shaking out any pesky residue.

Say aloha to kissers so soft and silky that they made this reviewer feel like they stumbled upon "literal lip magic."
A mini belt bag that'll surprise you with just how roomy it is. Use it to keep your phone, wallet, headphones, and maybe even a protein bar to snack on close to you and easily accessible. It's also great for use on the plane so that your small essentials are never out of reach!

A powerful callus remover because it only takes one "before and after" pic to prove that it works wonders on those rough, dry areas that can develop on your feet. Just apply the gel and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then follow up with a foot scrubber. This is the *perfect* addition to your next self-care day.
A Puracy spray that shocked one reviewer with how well it removed greasy stains. It uses six powerful plant-based enzymes to take care of the latest coffee stain you got as you rushed to work (but still had time for coffee, because there's always time for that).
A Trtl neck pillow with soft fleece support that might actually make a restful nap on a plane possible. Its ergonomic design keeps your head from nodding back and forth to help avoid aches and strains. Your family activity-packed trip will probably already deprive you of sleep — might as well get as much as you can on the way there!
A pair of gorgeous, super versatile heeled slip-ons if you want all the *slip on, slip off* ease, but in a classic open-toe design. These babies have a thick heel for stability as well as soft, thick braided straps to keep your feet in place. (Because having them slide all over the place can be so annoying!)
A cat litter deodorizer because yes, you're a certified cat lady, but that doesn't mean you want your home to smell like one. This'll keep you from having to clean the litter box every day while keeping that stinky odor at bay. 😌

A pair of high-waisted squat-proof biker shorts if you're planning to take advantage of the sunny weather and go on some runs. These feature two side pockets and super soft, flexible material for maximum mobility. Perfect to pair with an oversized hoodie, sports bra, or a cute cropped tank! Plus, they come in different inseam length options and colors.

A nontoxic carpet cleaning solution for when your floor has suffered through too much abuse from your pet. You can use it with your vacuum to remove those seemingly impossible stains and leave your carpet with a delightfully minty scent.
A cooling, memory foam contoured sleep mask because they'll actually shut out all light while keeping your eyes comfortably nestled and ready for a nice, long nap (ya know, unlike all those *other* masks you've tried). This puts no pressure on your eyes while still allowing you to freely blink, so that you can get some beauty sleep before you land!
A trendy, lightweight pair of New Balance 608 V5 Cross Trainers that amazed one reviewer with how well they carried them through a full day at Disneyland — and we all know that's the true test of comfort for any pair of shoes. They're made with minimal interior seams and are lined with supportive foam inserts so that your feet can kiss those painful blisters and midday discomfort goodbye.
A lightweight anti-theft backpack because it's waterproof and has a wet bag, shoe compartment, laptop compartment, luggage strap, and a built-in charging port. It's also spacious while still being able to fit under an airplane seat. So if you suddenly start to feel chilly after all that airport chaos is over, you can just reach down and grab your jacket.
And a handy RFID-blocking travel wallet, which can store so many of your usual travel and wallet contents, you'll think Hermione cast an undetectable extension charm on it. It can store your passport, boarding pass, three credit cards, a slim card, your ID, a ticket, your phone, your coins, a key, a pen, and...I think that's it? This is great for keeping everything together, especially for a multi-destination trip!
A Wobble Wag Giggle ball that's so entertaining, your pup just might start paying more attention to this lil' toy than he does to you. With an internal noisemaker and six pockets to engage your pet's natural curiosity, the only thing that'll get your pup to stop rolling around and wrestling with it is a water break.
A one-piece swimsuit because it blends support and style ~flawlessly~ thanks to its high neck and deep plunge neckline, which exudes a vintage, Old Hollywood glam look. Plus, the mesh panel is a perfectly subtle way to show off those assets!
A pair of seamless scrunch leggings that'll hug your lower body *just* right. 😍 These come with a high waistband for ultimate comfort and material that gives you the perfect combination of softness and stretchiness. Whether you use them to work out or lounge around, they're nice and breathable so that you never feel suffocated in the heat of the day!

Who is Katie Feeney? Meet ESPN's new 'sports and lifestyle' hire

ESPN has a new big name to add to its ever-changing roster of on-air -- and online -- personalities who we see on the network. The Worldwide Leader announced it has signed Katie Feeney, whom ESPN describe as "a sports and lifestyle content creator." She's got a huge following on social media from TikTok (she's on there as @katiefeeneyy) to Instagram (same handle there), and you're going to see her on a bunch of ESPN's big football-related shows soon enough. But who is Feeney and how did she end up in this role? Let's break it all down as we get to know her: Who is Katie Feeney? She's a Penn State alum who then joined the Washington Commanders as a the team's social media correspondent. What was Katie Feeney's college? As we mentioned, she went to Penn State. What ESPN shows will Katie Feeney be appearing on? You'll see her on ESPN's social channels a lot, but you'll also see her on College Gameday, Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown. Who is Katie Feeney's boyfriend? She said back in March that she was single, although there were reports that she was dating Jack Hurley, a now-minor leaguer in the Arizona Diamondbacks system. Did Adam Schefter really break the news that Katie Feeney was joining ESPN? Sure did! How cool is that?

A long-sleeve boho dress to help you realize your easy-breezy style. A belted ruffled dress will help cut back on the math you have to do to figure out if a top will tuck neatly into a dress.

An easy, breezy patchwork mini dress to wear when you need to look cute but want the least amount of fabric possible touching your skin. (Aka, most summer days.) A knee-length halter dress available in a range of colors and prints so you'll probably wanna snag a few for all kinds of seasonal photo ops. A floral midi built to impress — especially if a babydoll or nap dress shape isn't your thing. A black organza dress that's giving Wednesday season two. But you shouldn't wait around 'til that airs to wear it! (You can get a plain black slip to wear underneath!) A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of outerwear over it as needed. (There are sooo many pregnant reviewers who love it!) A chic mini dress that reviewers say is lightweight and breathable, so it'll prob end up in the top of your rotation come late-sprint.

A ladylike polka-dot number that tbh you could wear to brunch with your great-aunt and then out day-drinking with your roomies after. But it also has accommodating stretch, barely wrinkles, and will look so nice in any photos where you wanna look fab but don't wanna upstage your surroundings. A flowy boho style you'll get a ton of use out of in other seasons. It'll look equally amazing with cowboy boots or sandals. Cue to you in a piazza in Rome rocking this with your favorite accessory, a cone of gelato. A showstopping mesh dress you can use as a base for basically any special event's ensemble.

A striped cap sleeve midi — it might be the next best (and comfiest) thing to wearing a night gown out and about. A floor-length gown will look soooo pretty whether you're wearing it as a bridesmaid in your friend's wedding or in impromptu photo shoot by your pal who just got a new camera. A casual striped option with some ruffled sleeves to make it feel a bit special but not super dressy. We're keeping it casual rn. A versatile tiered maxi dress to layer with your longer-sleeve tops so you can comfortably sit in your chilly office. A flared vintage-inspired dress you'll wanna buy after your next Hairspray is always a great idea. A pom-pom strap maxi for a stylish twist on the "nap dress" style we all rely on to keep us cool and chic when the sun starts to bake. Twirling in this is, in fact, mandatory, and lack of twirl is punishable by nap dress law.
