A set of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers that'll basically turn your bathroom into a luxury hotel. These beauties come with adhesive wallmount brackets, which means two things: 1) No tools required!! 2) Pumping out your fave shower goodies will be easier than ever. If only it could put a mint and swan-shaped towel on your bed every night. A vision board book filled with super unique photos, words, and quotes you can cutout to start manifesting in style. The best part? The photos are meant to be super inclusive in terms of body types, skin tone, and gender expression, so you can fill your vision board with images that truly resonate with you. A delicious Boy Smells Vanilla Era candle, which one reviewer described as "vanilla if it was spicy, and sassy," which is honestly what I want my home to smell like at all times. There's obviously vanilla present, but you also get notes of coffee, white tulip, black pepper, and black amber — spicy and sassy, indeed! Imagine sipping your homemade cold brew while your house smells like the trendiest coffee shop in town ☕️ 🍦 😌.

Honestly, there are few things worse than slathering on thick body lotion in a humid bathroom after a shower 😩. Now you can just spritz this all over and massage it in while the goat milk softens your skin and the lactic acid provides some gentle exfoliation. Just be sure to give a shake first to mix the two layers!! And Beekman 1802's Bloom Face Cream, a lightweight moisturizer that also gently exfoliates thanks to the inclusion of lactic acid. If you're going for that ~glassy, glimmering glow~, this is what you're looking for. Oh, and the lotion "blooms" from the container in the shape of a flower, which is just plain adorable. Explorer's cold brew concentrate so you can finally stop spending nearly $10 for a medium latte — and that's before adding a splash of oat milk and cold foam!!! This strong but smooth concentrate is good for 20+ cups, so each serving is less than $3. All you have to do is mix it with water or milk in a 1:4 ratio. It even comes in four caffeine levels so you can decide if you want to be charged up like the Energizer Bunny or as chill as the ice cubes in your glass. And Modica's espresso martini mix if you prefer your coffee treats with a little edge — although you can totally make it a mocktail, too! Just combine one part mix and one part spirit (or club soda), then get to sipping an Espresso Martini that's worthy of the latest overpriced local pop-up bar that's all over your TikTok. A Shark Tank-featured Poplight with an adhesive mount and built-in level, so it's perfect for apartment dwellers and tool-challenged people alike!

Each set comes with a bottle of laundry detergent and a scent booster you can pour into the fabric softener tray for an extra dose of fragrant goodness. Oh, and these aren't your typical laundry scents like "boring breeze" or "linen snoozefest." Instead, your clothes will come out smelling like a comfy coffeeshop (Mightnight Grind) or a high-end floral-cherry perfume (Tart Deco). The wildly popular Puff Puff Pass setting powder, which is so famous, I wouldn't be surprised if a "sickening supply of KimChi Chic Beauty" replaced Anastasia Beverly Hills as the Drag Race prize. It's gone viral for locking in makeup all day and keeping excess oil at bay — and the pink shade is particularly beloved for its brightening properties, especially when used to set under-eye concealer. A sleeveless high-waisted coverall — you know, the ultimate effortless summer fashion essential. Just throw this on and forget about the days of rummaging through your closet for a top that actually matches your breezy linen pants. The elastic waistband on the back makes it super stretchy, though there's also two-button adjustable waist if you want a more fitted look. And yes, there are pockets, so you'll have plenty of space for your sunnies and AirPods. OneKind's Mega Multitasker All-day Moisturizer so you can start your day with some nongreasy, lightweight hydration that won't make your skin feel congested before you even step out the door. It contains hyaluronic acid to keep you hydrated and ashwagandha to fend off signs of fatigue, so you might be able to skip that extra espresso shot in your latte. An SPF 30 sunscreen in a lightweight serum formula that's designed to be invisible and layer perfectly on top of the rest of your skincare. There's even a dose of vitamin C in there to help brighten your skin tone while you're out soaking up some sun. An aluminum-free deodorant from Malin + Goetz so you can keep the ~stank~ away with natural ingredients that are suitable for sensitive skin. This will provide odor protection for up to 12 hours, and you can even use it on spots like the back of your legs, torso, and nape of your neck. A pair of TomboyX compression underwear specifically made with transgender, queer, and nonbinary people in mind since they provide a "soft tuck" fit. The compressive mesh holds everything in place, and the moisture-wicking fabric quickly takes care of any excess sweat throughout the day. A medium-hold soft clay pomade that'll help you achieve your perfect style without feeling crunchy or sticky. Just rub some in your hands until the pomade turns clean, then apply to damp or dry hair. Oh, and it rinses out with water, so you can easily refresh your hair at the end of the day. A jar of shower steamers made with peppermint, eucalyptus, and menthol so you can close your eyes and pretend you're at a super fancy spa. You know, the kind that doesn't show up on Groupon. Just pop one on your shower floor out of the direct stream of water and get ready to inhale some minty freshness that might just put a little extra pep in your step. Morning showerers, rejoice!! A gently exfoliating BHA cleanser so you can give your pores a thorough cleaning — but don't worry, there's also some oat extract to soothe sensitive skin and keep irritation at bay. It also works to remove makeup and sunscreen, so the days of using those wasteful makeup-removing wipes are finally over. The TikTok and Instagram-viral One/Size waterproof setting spray that'll make sure your makeup lives up to its "all-day wear" claims. This magic spritz will keep your look in place for up to 16 hours, and reviewers say it works like a dream for keeping excess oil at bay. A gorgeous marbled glass coaster set so you can finally toss the flimsy ones you stole from The Olive Garden back in college. These will instantly elevate your coffee table's vibe while protecting it from water rings and coffee cup stains. They even have silicone bumpers at the bottom to keep them in place so your wine glass doesn't go flying when you accidentally stub your toe on said coffee table.

Duracell Sues Energizer, Alleges False Advertising Campaign
Duracell and Energizer have been suing each other over advertising claims for years. Duracell, the company known for its copper-and-black-colored batteries, is suing rival Energizer, known for its bunny mascot, over what it claims is a "confusing and misleading" television and online advertising campaign. The complaint, which Duracell filed in federal court in Manhattan last week, took fault with Energizer's statement in a new ad campaign that Energizer Max batteries last 10% longer than Duracell Power Boost batteries. Related: Reddit Sues $61.5 Billion AI Startup Anthropic for Allegedly Using the Site for Training Data Duracell claims that Energizer only took one industry standard into account when making the statement, and that battery performance is also determined through other standards. Duracell claims to have suffered "irreparable reputational harm" due to the ad campaign, which Energizer launched earlier this month on TV, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. "The Energizer Max false advertising is a clear effort by Energizer to expand its market share — at Duracell's expense — by confusing and misleading consumers about the comparative performance of Energizer Max batteries and Duracell Power Boost batteries with blatantly false advertising in a transparent, and unfair, effort to drive sales," the complaint read. One YouTube ad from Energizer from June 2 shows the company claiming: "There's no competition. Energizer Max outlasts Duracell Power Boost by 10%." Duracell wants Energizer to pay monetary damages and stop running the ads. This is the latest legal battle between Duracell and Energizer — the companies have been suing each other over advertising claims for years. Energizer sued Duracell in September 2019 over Duracell's claim that its Optimum batteries lasted longer than rival batteries. Duracell filed a legal complaint against Energizer a year later over claims that Energizer Max batteries lasted up to 50% longer than other batteries. In December 2020, Duracell and Energizer agreed to voluntarily dismiss their lawsuits. Related: 'Extraordinarily Expensive': Getty Images Is Pouring Millions of Dollars Into One AI Lawsuit, CEO Says Energizer brought in revenue of $2.887 billion in 2024 compared to Duracell's $2 billion. However, Duracell claims to have a greater U.S. market share. The company said in 2020 that it had a 45% share of the U.S. market for alkaline household batteries compared to Energizer's 26% share, per Reuters. Duracell is owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which bought Duracell from Procter & Gamble in 2014. The deal added Duracell to Berkshire's portfolio of more than 60 businesses, including Dairy Queen ice cream, Geico auto insurance, and Benjamin Moore paint.

Duracell sues Energizer, claiming ad campaign features ‘misleading' battery life claims
America's top battery brands are locked in a power struggle over battery life claims. Duracell has filed a lawsuit against Energizer, accusing the rival battery maker of running a deceptive advertising campaign. In a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan on June 13, Duracell — which is owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway — alleged that Energizer's new ad campaign falsely states that its Energizer MAX batteries outlast Duracell Power Boost batteries by 10%. The ad's claims have caused Duracell to suffer 'irreparable reputational harm, including the tarnishing of its brand and loss of goodwill,' Duracell said in the complaint. Duracell alleged that the sole basis for Energizer's 10% claim is a comparison of the two brands' AA batteries under one industry standard, but battery performance is also measured by other standards, the company said. 'The Energizer MAX False Advertising is a clear effort by Energizer to expand its market share – at Duracell's expense – by confusing and misleading consumers about the comparative performance of Energizer MAX batteries and Duracell Power Boost batteries with blantantly false advertising in a transparent, and unfair, effort to drive sales,' the complaint said. Energizer's new ad campaign, which launched earlier this month, has been featured on numerous television channels, as well as on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, the lawsuit said. One YouTube ad features Energizer's mascot, the Energizer Bunny, engaging in a head-to-head showdown with a battery that looks like a Duracell battery. 'There's no competition. Energizer MAX outlasts Duracell Power Boost by 10%,' the ad says. 'No fluff, just facts.' Duracell is seeking to halt Energizer's ads and for Energizer to pay monetary damages. Energizer did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.

Despite higher borrowing costs, the economy has avoided flashing recessionary signals. This is the much-desired soft landing that many investors hoped for.
