This $24 Tech Tool Has Makes Travels Abroad Easier
If you've traveled abroad, you might have found yourself lugging around a bag full of chargers and adapters. Many travel adapters leave a lot to be desired. Maybe they can only charge one product at once, so you have to pack multiple and have them take up valuable suitcase or carry-on space. Sometimes, they only work for one other type of outlet or just don't function as well as you'd hope. If nobody has told you yet before, allow me to be the first: You don't have to live like this. I promise! In fact, I can introduce you to a product that will make your travels so much easier: this Epicka universal travel adapter I've been traveling with for years, which you can get on Amazon for under $24. This adapter is a true example of an all-in-one product. With four different plug types, it accepts plugs from most countries and can plug into sockets from over 200 countries and regions. I've successfully used this adapter in England, Germany, Argentina, Chile and Canada so far, and reviewers have vouched for its functionality in Switzerland, Egypt, China and more. I even use the adapter to charge my Kindle and portable charger while I'm at home, because the different charging cords for each honestly confuse me (hey, I never claimed to be tech-savvy). The Epicka adapter's acceptance of so many types of cords and plugs takes some of that guesswork out of my devices. The plugs lock securely when you slide them out with each clearly labeled toggle on the side. You can slide them back in by pressing and holding the lock button on the other side. It also comes in a zippered case that can fit some cords for easy storage and transport; I like to leave an iPhone charging cord in mine. You can get the adapter in classic black, like the one I have, or in white, blue or pink. For frequent travelers, a universal adapter may be your best travel companion. Below, see some reviews from other happy travelers who have purchased the Epicka adapter and used it all over the world — or just go ahead and add it right to your cart. Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in four colors).

27 Princess Polly Pieces That Are Easy And Breezy
A maxi style dubbed the ~South of France~, which makes sense because I very much envision myself wearing this in the South of France, thank you very much. Price: $99 (available in sizes 0—12 and in four colors/patterns) A ribbed halter top you can consider a more zhuzhed up version of your most beloved T-shirt, right down to the versatility and the deliciously cozy jersey knit fabric. Price: $39 (available in sizes 0—12 and in three colors) A maxi dress about to become your "going out" uniform, and by going out, I mean heading to dinner at 7 p.m. and arriving home promptly by 10 p.m. to complete your nighttime skincare routine and watch another true crime doc. Price: $25 (originally $80; available in sizes 12–20) Denim shorts that are the ~little black dress~ equivalent for a casual summer essentials wardrobe.

Price: $34 for the top (available in sizes 0—12); $45 for the shorts (available in sizes 0—12) An asymmetrical midi because destination weddings are a scam (I said what I said), but at least we can have fun with the resortwear uniform, I say through gritted teeth. Price: $79 (available in sizes 14—20) A graphic tee you'll wear to the gym, the coffee shop, and while rewatching Pretty Little Liars for the 90th time even though you're well past high school graduation and the plot, in hindsight, is pretty all over the damn place. Price: $45 (available in sizes 0—10) A tube top for nights at the beach bar, ordering piña coladas and pretending you're on a Caribbean vacation and not lounging on the Long Island Sound. Price: $45 (available in sizes 0—12) A matching set for days where your noggin is incapable of forming a single thought, let alone an outfit. The foolproof equation goes as follows: this set, sunnies, and your favorite purse. Price: $78 (available in sizes 0—12) A frill top because all the maxi skirts you bought on clearance last November?

This $8 Stain Remover Is Straight Up ‘Witchcraft'
Was a meal even good if it didn't end up on your shirt somehow? The running joke in my foodie family is that if someone's not wearing the meal by dish duty time, it couldn't have been that great. Knowing our proclivity for enthusiastic eating I've naturally become a stain-removal connoisseur over the years. Every pen, stick, sheet, gel and spray has found its way into my rotation at one point or another. So when this kids' stain remover came across my radar, my interest was piqued. Hear me out: you might not think a stain remover marketed specifically towards kiddos would be the workhorse that it is, but this product is garnering a cult following for good reason. First, and most importantly, it works, according to the thousands of folks who have tried it and left reviews at Amazon. Smashed blueberries, a coffee dribble down your shirt, grass stained knees, blood, grease and ages old mystery stains are no match for this spray. It's fast, effective and safe – EPA Safer Choice Certified-safe, to be specific. Naturally, it's great for baby stains, as promised. It's designed to work lightning fast without the use of harmful chemicals like sulfates or formaldehydes. Just spritz, blot and launder as usual. Reviewer Augustina wrote that 'as a mom, I've dealt with all kinds of food and drink stains, and this spray tackles them effortlessly,' summing it up by calling it 'an essential for parents!' Beyond baby duty, this stain remover's off-label uses are turning heads. Another reviewer hypes this spray as 'freaking phenomenal to use in cars' claiming that it took out years old smoke stains from her used car's upholstery with just 'a few sprays of this bad boy and a rag to rub it in.' One HuffPost editor recently shared that she loves using this stain to clean her sneakers and Eddie's review backs this up, adding that their 'Nike white shoes were dirty, muddy, coffee stains,' then they 'sprayed this and waited 5 minutes' and 'it took it all right off!!' So, don't be fooled by the label. True, it's a parent essential, but I'd go as far as to say it's a person essential. We're all guilty of spills and slip-ups. Stains happen, but no matter the mess, Miss Mouth's Messy Eater stain treater spray can take it on. Let this stuff work its magic on stains and spills and you'll never look back. Honestly, you might just forget what a stain is. Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in multi-packs, pens, various spray bottle styles, and in bundles)

This Hair Mask Brings My Dry Hair Back To Life Fast
Between constant heat styling and general neglect, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm someone who tends to pay more attention to my skin than hair. Yes, my hair is thick and full, but it is beyond thirsty and lacks the nourishment necessary to make it look shiny and healthy. Leave-ins, oils, and deep conditioners seem to only work as a temporary fix, and I don't have time (or frankly, the patience) to wait 15 minutes for a hair mask to work its magic. Cue the Briogeo Superfoods Acai + Passionfruit lightweight hydration hair mask, a water-cream hair mask that claims to hydrate strands without weighing them down. Did I mention it does the job in under five minutes? The mask is the latest newcomer to Briogeo's Superfoods line, a collection of products inspired by (and infused with) superfoods that nourish, moisturize, and support healthy hair. While typically ultra-rich hair masks like this one can weigh down fine to medium hair, this one is specifically formulated for these hair types and addresses signs of damage and dehydration without jeopardizing volume. It's made with acai extract to repair sun damage and reduce frizz along with passionfruit oil for shine and moisture. After just one use of this hair mask, I noticed shinier, more hydrated hair, especially at my notoriously frayed ends. My parched hair drinks the formula right up, and what I love most is that it doesn't just make my hair look better for a day — it actually feels healthier even after I heat style it. The scent is also a huge selling point — it smells like a sophisticated bubblegum (Briogeo describes it as sweet and slightly tart with some freshness), and effectively perfumes my entire shower, making for a great sensorial experience. I use this in place of conditioner once a week and have noticed that my hair has more moisture, shine and radiance to it. To use, I scoop up a generous amount and apply to the mid-shafts of my hair all way toward the ends, making sure to distribute it evenly. After five minutes, I rinse it out and voilà — gorgeous, healthy, commercial-ready hair. Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes).
