A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. A four-pack of silicone straw soda can lids that are like, "Oh, you're obsessed with Diet Coke? Let me find you a reason to be even MORE obsessed."

Its targeted menthol relief also works *fast* and is delightfully travel-friendly, unlike competing menthol creams. An absurdly darling pink Lego typewriter that has multiple build options — you can also turn it into a flowery "keytar" instrument and a sweet little flowerpot with a writing pad and pen. (But honestly, I've imprinted on that pink typewriter so hard that if I hear about any of you making something else, I'm gonna cry some big Barbie tears.) Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. A reusable, family-friendly sand eraser to *instantly* remove sand from your skin with a quick swipe so you don't accidentally turn your unsuspecting car interiors into "Beach, Part Two." A little octopus-themed melamine serving platter you can use to serve small bites to guests, or serve delicious Girl Dinner to your own human self. (It's not eating alone if an illustrated sea critter is with you!!) E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Built's "Puff Protein Bars" that are basically chocolate-covered marshmallows that also, by some witchcraft, have 17 entire grams of protein in them?? And NO weird aftertaste. If you are also someone who is in a perpetual state of "I need protein or I will bite someone's brain off," I am telling you, nothing in this WORLD will feel better than pulling one of these out of your bag. A sardine-themed digital download because now that we are in an era of "sardines as decor," we need to embrace it with every brine-y, aesthetic, mermaid bone in our BODIES, one piece at a time. A cult-favorite cordless "on the go" razor that gives such a close, silky, deliciously smooth shave that reviewers swear by it for even their most ~sensitive~ areas. It even has a "wet" mode and a "dry" mode so you can use it during a shower or as a quick touch-up during the day, and is safe enough to use that multiple parents swear by it as a "first time" razor for preteens, too. A platypus jar scraping spatula so you can get every!! last!! MORSEL!!! of your peanut butters, Nutellas, and mayos, just as international super spy and legendary hero Perry the Platypus would have wanted. A set of cat-shaped dual-sided sponges that dared to ask, "What if we turned Scrub Daddy sponges into cats and also made them way more affordable?" These are the purrrrfect solution for your kitchen aesthetic *and* budget. A ginormous "marshmallow cloud fleece" blanket you should only pull out in front of guests if you're prepared for them to burrow inside and never, ever leave. A dimmable sad duck nightlight because sometimes you just have to look at this emotionally deflated creature on your desk and be like, "Welp. At least I'm doing better than that little dude."

4th of July Sales Are Already Happening. Here Are the Best Deals Available.
Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter To keep your skin looking dewy and protected, this formula spreads easily without leaving behind a white cast, even on darker skin tones. It goes on like a makeup primer and won't look oily or sticky if reapplied over makeup throughout the day. Other things to know: Water-resistant up to 40 minutes. Greasy texture (like a watery petroleum jelly) may be off-putting to some. Pricey. This deal doesn't beat the rare single-day 50%-off sale, but it's still a great value. Price reflects in cart with free Bluemercury account. Read more: The Best Sunscreens for Your Face Supergoop Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion This broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen soaks into dry skin to hydrate while it protects. It can also serve as a good primer for dewy makeup looks without being oily or greasy. At just 1.7 ounces, it's not cheap, but one bottle is surprisingly long-lasting. Other things to know: Very watery. If you prefer a more matte look or have oily skin, this is probably not the sunscreen for you. Sweat-resistant up to 40 minutes. Price reflects in cart; a free Bluemercury account is required for free shipping. Read more: The Best Sunscreens for Your Face Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 (18 ounces) Other things to know: Rated SPF 50. None of Wirecutter's testers experienced a white cast, but some reported that it left them feeling greasy. The 18-ounce jug is the most affordable size on a per-ounce basis. Price reflects in cart; a free Bluemercury account is required for free shipping. Read more: Supergoop Sunscreen Is Worth the Splurge EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser This cloud-like cleanser feels light, luxurious, and mild on your hands and face. Its sulfate-free soft foam formula fully removes dirt and grime and leaves your face feeling deeply clean but not at all stripped. One pump produces a dollop that's just the right amount for face-washing. $35 $28 from EltaMD Other things to know: Pretty pricey. 5-ounce bottle. Contains 28 ingredients, making it harder to determine if one of them triggers a sensitivity or irritation. Mostly fragrance-free, with slight hints of coconut and medicine. At the EltaMD site, use promo code SKIN20 to get the deal price. Read more: The Best Facial Cleansers Imagine a piece of carry-on luggage with the durability and insulation of a rolling hard cooler. Unlike our top rolling-cooler pick, the Yeti Tundra, the Roadie has a telescoping handle that changes its center of gravity, which may make it easier to maneuver in some situations. Other things to know: It's in our cooler guide's Competition section, but we like it at a deep discount. Typically pricier than the Tundra, and the difference in maneuverability wasn't immediately clear during tests. Holds 76 cans versus the Tundra's 82. Price reflects in cart. Read more: The Best Coolers Yeti Camino 35 Carryall Tote Other things to know: A touch larger than our top pick, but a similar capacity. Its interior pockets are zippered, and zippers don't play well with sand. The smaller-size Camino 20 is also on sale. At REI, membership is required; single-use discount on full-price Yeti item reflects in cart. Read more: The Best Beach Bag REI Co-op Wonderland 6 Tent A redesign of REI's beloved Kingdom 6, this is a spacious, wagon-shaped tent with a massive interior and a room-divider for added privacy. The updated pole design has increased stability against wind, the only major weakness of the old model. $500 $350 from REI Other things to know: Partial fly. No vestibule but an attachable mudroom sold separately. Already-large tent may not be ideal at campsites with limited space. We are still in the process of long-term testing. Read more: The Best Camping Tents Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter With a robust polycarbonate outer shell, aluminum corner guards, and an aluminum frame around the center seam that reinforces the body of the luggage, this isn't just a trunk — it's a traveling fortress. The two TSA locks close with a satisfying latch. Other things to know: Due to the design, some travelers consider trunks to be easier to pack and to maneuver. Does away with the standard zipper closure. Doesn't have a ton of built-in organization. Lifetime warranty. Use code WIRECUTTER. Read more: The Best Suitcases for Checking Away The Trunk This trunk has a clamshell design similar to that of the Monos Hybrid, for a similar price — but it has a zipper, instead of latches. It's available in 14 colors. Other things to know: Ideal if you prefer zippers over latch closures or you want a trunk to match your other Away luggage. We're fans of Away's luggage generally, but this trunk doesn't feel as robust or satisfying to use as our Monos pick. Enter your email address at the top of the sale page to generate a single-use discount code. Read more: The Best Suitcases for Checking Osprey Farpoint 40 and Fairview 40 Backpacks A great starter option for one-bag travel, this backpack is simple to pack and the easiest to carry of all our picks. It's built for travel but designed for hiking, so you'll be comfy on journeys by trail or TSA. $185 $120 from Amazon With a slightly smaller capacity and lower shoulder straps, the Fairview 40 is a great carry-on backpack for people with smaller torsos. It's just as durable and well made as the Farpoint 40, and the slight design difference doesn't change the fact that it's the easiest bag to carry out of all of our picks. Other things to know: Backed by Osprey's excellent lifetime warranty. Capacity is a little less spacious than it seems. Laptop and tech gear pocket isn't positioned directly against your back, shifting the center of gravity and making some loads feel heavier than they should. Lifetime warranty. The Fairview is on sale for $1 more at REI. Read more: The Best Carry-On Travel Backpacks Tommy John Air Mesh Mid-Length Boxer Brief 6" (add five) Travel can be uncomfortable, but these boxer briefs won't be. Quick-drying, moisture-wicking, and easy to wash on the go, they felt like a fine-tailored garment and moved with the body, scoring higher than any other pair we tested. We loved the front pouch, which lacks seams that can chafe. Other things to know: Leg length is 6 inches, 2 inches shorter than that of our official pick version, but it's otherwise the same. Fly opens from the top, not the side. Deal price is on five single pairs; add five pairs to cart and use code WCSUMMER. Read more: The Best Underwear for Travel Maki Yazawa/NYT Wirecutter For cooking simple microwave dishes quickly and reheating leftovers well, we like these glass containers. Their airtight, leakproof lids each have a venting knob that you can open or close to capture or release steam as needed, and their rounded metal edges are safe for the microwave. You can store leftovers in the same dish, so cleanup is easy. $60 $45 from Anyday For college students with dorm microwaves, small-kitchen cooks, or meal-prepping aficionados, this square glass cookware can be great for cooking simple microwave dishes and reheating leftovers, as well as storing food. Each airtight, leakproof lid has a venting knob that you can open or close to capture or release steam as needed. $106 $75 from Anyday Other things to know: Dishwasher-, oven-, and freezer-safe. Not ideal for developing more-complex flavors. Each set includes two glass containers and their corresponding lids; use promo code WCROUND to get the deal price on the round set or WCSQUARE to get the deal price on the square set. Read more: These Glass Containers Made Me Hate the Microwave a Little Less Vornado ARA Oscillating Tower Fan Quiet and reliable, this tower fan has an energy-efficient DC-powered motor that moves air at up to nearly 13 mph on high. It also works as a lamp, providing pleasant and warm ambient lighting. We don't usually like tower fans, but this one surprised us. $250 $190 from Wayfair Use promo code WIRECUTTER Other things to know: Expensive. Not easy to clean. Comes with Vornado's reliable five-year warranty. Use promo code WIRECUTTER. Read more: I've Tested Dozens of Tower Fans. And I Hated Every Single One of Them — Until Now. Windmill AC with WhisperTech Other things to know: You can't open your window while using it. Typically more expensive than our top pick, and a little louder. Window support bracket not included. You can't control the direction of the fan. Use code WIRECUTTER25 to get the deal price, which includes shipping. Read more: The Best Air Conditioner Blu Dot Cache Sofa Generously cushioned, this cute tubular-aluminum-framed outdoor sofa comes fully assembled and built to last (ours from 2021 still looks practically new). The sturdy, rounded cushions are upholstered with durable Sunbrella fabric over a dry-fast, mildew-resistant foam. $4495 $3147 from Blu Dot Other things to know: The foam can be a little noisy. Cushion covers are not removable, but have been easy to wipe down in our experience. Five-year warranty. Use code WCSUMMER. Read more: Our Favorite Outdoor Sofas and Chairs Ring Alarm (2nd Generation) 14-piece home security system kit Reliable and fast, this easy-to-use security system also works with Amazon Alexa and other Ring devices, plus add-ons like cameras. It also offers the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to professional monitoring and 24/7 customer service. $300 $200 from Amazon Other things to know: Does not include a built-in Eero router, as the Pro model does. Optional Ring Protect Pro monitoring plan is $20 per month. Kit includes one base station, two keypads, eight contact sensors, two motion detectors, and one range extender. Amazon Prime membership required. Read more: The Best Home Security System Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter Linen sheets can be a game-changer for hot sleepers, and our longtime favorite set is durable, breathable, and one of the softest we've tested. The set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases, but you can also purchase by the piece. $445 $351 from Cultiver Use promo code WCSUMMER (queen) Other things to know: Like any linen sheets, these wrinkle easily. More limited sizing than sheets from other brands. No warranty, and a pretty standard 30-day return policy. Deal price is for the queen size, but all sizes are discounted with code WCSUMMER. Street price has risen in recent months. Read more: The Best Linen Sheets 280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Sheet Set (queen) With a durable construction that only gets softer with each wash, it's no surprise these supple sheets have ranked among our favorites for years. They remain the most crisp and breathable percale sheets we've tested. $169 $144 from Other things to know: Percale can feel too textured to those who prefer smooth, drapey sateen sheets. Not Oeko-Tex–certified. Set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two pillowcases. One-year return policy. Code WCSUN15 can apply to all sizes, and all sizes qualify for free shipping. Read more: The Best Cotton Sheets Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter Meet the best sub-$50 earbuds we've tried. They have impressive sound and features for the price, as well as an IPX7 dust- and water-resistance rating and high-quality background-noise-reducing microphones that rival those of more expensive models. $40 $26 from Amazon Other things to know: They lack active noise cancellation and a hear-through mode. Sound quality isn't as balanced as that of our top pick. Use code EAFRE2SF to get the deal. We once saw a $16 lightning deal for these earbuds, but we doubt they'll drop that low again. Read more: The Best Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds Samsung The Frame QN65LS03DAFXZA LCD TV (2024 model, 65-inch) Want a TV that isn't just another big black box? The Frame is a great option for people who prefer a living room that doesn't look like it's dedicated to television. Although it resembles a framed piece of art when not in use, it still delivers the same bright, excellent image quality as many of Samsung's upper-tier QLED TVs. Other things to know: A subscription is necessary to access the full range of art options but not required for regular TV functionality. This is the 2024 model. It comes with a one-year Samsung parts-and-labor limited warranty, and free shipping for Amazon Prime members. Read more: The Frame Is a Delightful TV That Transforms Into Artwork Eero 6 Wi-Fi router (one unit) This compact router is easy to set up and smoothly delivers solid internet performance, even while several people are using the connection. It's also one of the easiest routers to hide, on account of its tiny size. You can expand its network by adding Eero extenders or routers or Echo Dot speakers. Other things to know: Slower overall than our top pick for heavy downloaders and gamers. Most suitable if you're subscribed to a low- to mid-tier internet plan (under 500 Mbps). Two Ethernet ports. Read more: The Best Wi-Fi Routers Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter Our testers gave these versatile Levi's the highest overall score among straight-leg styles — even over pricey high-end options. They're not only comfy, booty-flattering, well-made, and under $100, but also made in a wide range of sizes and three inseams. The cotton-elastane blend is structured but fits comfortably on the first wear. Other things to know: Testers with more defined waists found these jeans true to size; others should consider sizing up. Deal available on select washes: Space to Think, Christina, and Neither Here Nor There. Free Red Tab membership required for free shipping. Read more: The Best Women's Jeans Evelyn Bobbie Defy Bra This smooth, stretchy bralette actually comfortably supports large breasts without any metal wires, clasps, or sliders — a near-miracle. Its high-back design and seamless edges create smooth contours, the sizing was spot-on, and we like that it's soft enough for lounging and supportive enough for active days. $98 $65 from Evelyn Bobbie Use promo code WIRECUTTER Other things to know: Not the cutest, and not ideal for low-cut or strappy tops. Some testers found it too hot and stifling. Not the easiest to pull on. Removable cups may slip out in the wash. Sizes S to 3XL (C to K cup, 30- to 52-inch band). Use code WIRECUTTER. Read more: The Best, Most Comfortable Bras Harper Wilde Base T-Shirt Bra (pack of three) A pleasure to wear all day long, this comfy underwire bra creates a smooth, defined silhouette. It's set apart by small details, such as the strap-adjustment sliders' location on the front, which allows the wearer to easily move them up and down without having to reach behind their back. Other things to know: We wish it came in more sizes beyond 32A to 42F. Straps are thinner than those of our other picks, and for people with heavier breasts, they may dig into the shoulders. Add three bras to cart and use code WCSUMMER to get the discount on the tan, brown, or black color, plus free shipping. Read more: The Best, Most Comfortable Bras Harper Wilde Bliss Triangle Bralette The thoughtful details of its wire-free pull-on design and adjustable straps make this comfy bralette tough to beat. The silky, pleasantly stretchy microfiber fits like a second skin, and the plunging neckline and low back work with a variety of tops but still provide ample coverage. $45 $27 from Harper Wilde Other things to know: Medium support may not be substantial enough if you have heavier, larger breasts. Lacks full nipple coverage. Doesn't provide much shaping. Available in sizes XS to 5XL. On sale in steel and tan with code WCSUMMER. Read more: The Best, Most Comfortable Bras ThirdLove 24/7 Classic Uplift Plunge Bra This pretty plunge bra is a sexy, supportive option offering outstanding comfort. It comes with removable push-up pads for a little extra oomph and is available in larger band sizes and half sizes. Other things to know: May not be supportive enough for larger busts. Sizes AA to H cup (including some half-cup sizes) and 32- to 44-inch band; not every cup size is offered for every band size. On sale in rose dust, amethyst, or coral with code LUV-WIRECUTTER. Read more: The Best Bras Saxx Non-Stop Stretch Cotton Boxer Brief (pack of three) Other things to know: Waistband is as close to perfect as we've found, but it rolled in certain situations.

The 5 best products at Trader Joe's that aren't groceries — and they'll surprise you
Trader Joe's is famed for their unique snacks, including their beloved chili and lime tortilla chips and their uber-popular pork and ginger dumplings. But surprisingly, some of the chain's best products aren't edible. Food Network has compiled a list of the five best Trader Joe's products that don't qualify as groceries — and you'll be sure to notice them next time you're perusing the aisles. 7 There's more to Trader Joe's than groceries. Robert Miller Tote bags 7 Trader Joe's tote bags have become extremely popular. Trader Joe's Perhaps the most popular non-grocery item at Trader Joe's is their tote bags, the viral object of grocery shopping desire. The mini tote bag in particular has caused commotion at TJ's locations. In March 2024, the 13 x 11 x 6 in. carriers quickly became a sensation — with customers waiting in long lines just to get their hands on one. One TikTok user previously shared a video of a huge group of people crowding around as employees brought the display into the store — getting ready to pounce before the bags were even on the floor. 7 The mini tote bag in particular has caused commotion at Trader Joe's locations. Trader Joe's The bite-sized bags are priced at $2.99, but after selling out, they were resold on eBay at astronomical prices due to the high demand. 'The adorable totes in question are made of the same heavy-duty, 65% cotton/35% polyester blend as our larger, classic Canvas Bags,' the product page said — noting that the bags also have the same 'long, comfortable handles.' The only real difference, the company stated, is the diminutive size. The last drop in April for spring came in pastel shades of blue, pink, purple and green, though the typical color offerings include navy, yellow, red and green. Sunscreen 7 Trader Joe's sunscreen is allegedly a dupe of Supergoop. Trader Joe's Trader Joe's Daily Facial Sunscreen is one of the best deals you can get, especially considering it's looked at as a dupe of the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen. The SPF 40 sunscreen is a 1.7-ounce tube that costs just $8.99 — compared to the $38 Supergoop version. Rather than a sticky white sunscreen, the Trader Joe's sunscreen is translucent and invisible, oil-free, weightless and unscented. 'If thick, sticky formulas have you forgoing your daily dose of necessary SPF, then this is the Sunscreen for you,' the product page reads. Flowers 7 Trader Joe's has many floral options. Trader Joe's If you're looking to pick up some flowers for a loved one or for yourself, Trader Joe's is the way to go. There's plenty of options for flower arrangements at the grocery chain — and at a great price. Customers can either pick their own mix of stems and make their own arrangement or opt for a prearranged bouquet. Their flowers can be used for any occasion, too. 'I get cut flowers almost exclusively from my local Trader Joe's,' Food Network's online editor Noelle Paredes said. 'Whether I need a simple, seasonal bunch of blooms for my nightstand or I'm creating a holiday tablescape, Trader Joe's always has the best selection at great prices.' 'I made a massive centerpiece for Thanksgiving this year for under $70 — the same arrangement would cost double from a florist.' Toilet paper 7 Trader Joe's toilet paper is 'super soft.' Trader Joe's Trader Joe's toilet paper is so 'super soft,' it even has the phrase in the product name. Trader Joe's Super Soft Bath Tissue is just $3.99 for a pack of six 'gigantic' rolls of 350 2-ply sheets. 'We've gone to create a chlorine bleach free, FSC and Rainforest Alliance certified, septic safe, and recyclable bath tissue that is as kind to your behind as it is to the environment,' the product page said. People swear by TJ's toilet paper and claim that it deserves its 'super soft' title. Cards 7 Trader Joe's has a wide assortment of greeting cards. Trader Joe's Trader Joe's has a plethora of greeting cards, and the designs are both considerate and full of humor. Plus, the prices can't be beat. Each card is just $0.99, making it a cheaper option than the Hallmark cards at CVS or Walgreens.

Boots expert recommends £29 SPF powder for protecting skin
These SPF products are perfect for makeup fans, according to a Boots beauty expert Keeping skin protected from the sun isn't just for summer holidays - it's essential every single day, helping to prevent premature ageing, dark spots and even skin cancer. Fortunately, there are plenty of SPF-infused products specifically designed for everyday use. According to Boots Beauty Specialist Leanna Zaman, there are some standout formulas that also work seamlessly with foundation, concealer and more. One such favourite is Supergoop's Resetting Powder SPF30 (£29), an innovative brush-on powder that helps to mattify shine while delivering mineral-based SPF. "Powder sunscreens are a great option to prevent your scalp burning and absorb extra oils, whilst sun sticks are great for the lips as they tend to be a waxy format that will stay put for longer," Leanna explains. For a luscious pout, try something like the Bondi Sands Sunny Daze SPF 50 Lip Balm (£7.99), which offers high-level protection in a non-sticky formula. For under makeup, Leanna also recommends Skin + Me Daily Moisturiser with SPF 50 (£21.99). This multi-tasking option hydrates while shielding skin from both UVA and UVB rays - ideal for layering under foundation and concealer without greasiness. Get the look £29 Boots Buy Now on Boots Product Description As an alternative, Rodial's SPF Drops (£75) has also become a regular fixture in my routine. I've been applying it every morning before my moisturiser and primer, knowing I'm getting broad-spectrum UV protection plus added defence against blue light and pollution (a major bonus for any fellow Londoners). However, Leanna warns that users shouldn't rely solely on SPF in cosmetics. "The formulas are often thinner and don't always allow for even coverage, plus you will typically apply less product than you need to protect your skin sufficiently," she notes. With that in mind, Leanne suggests adding Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun Lotion (£21) to baskets. This lightweight formula is suitable for sensitive skin and should be applied generously 15 minutes before sun exposure. I also recommend Ritual's The Ritual of Karma Milky Spray SPF (£18.32). This spray is easy to apply, doesn't leave a white cast, and has a refreshing scent, making it a change from the usual slightly sweet sun cream scent. "Always start the day with adequate protection," Leanna says. "Apply a teaspoon-sized amount of broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF30 to your face after your morning skincare routine and allow it to settle for at least 10 minutes. Apply your primer, foundation or other cosmetics on top – but avoid mixing products into your sunscreen as this can reduce the effectiveness." For more prolonged and deliberate sun exposure, such as a picnic at the beach or outdoor sports, Leanna recommends opting for a high SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVB and UVA rays, like Soltan or Sun Bum. "For your makeup, focus on your eyes, brows and lips, but skip the foundation base so you can reapply your sunscreen liberally every two hours and keep your skin protected," she says. "Avoid the midday sun if you can, and always cover up with a hat and sunglasses."
