Now I am pissed that you didn’t post this far enough ahead of time to order for Mother’s Day. On the other hand, I could order this for my husband’s June birthday...he would force me to carry it, anyway. Read more

Having recently switched to a micellar whatever for cleansing, I have to second those washable cotton rounds! I ordered mine on Etsy and there are tons of options. Read more

I absolutely love this mask! It’s a little smelly (you mix it with apple cider vinegar) but works wonders. As someone else mentioned, put a paper towel over your drain when you rinse it off - the clay can come off in in small chunks which isn’t good for your drains. Read more

I tried to snake it to no avail. Then I tried baking soda + vinegar, my tried and true method, and nothing. Eventually used draino or something similar and it helped. This was my bathroom tub so it could have been the mask plus a combo of hair, but hair is usually pretty easy to get out on its own! Maybe the key is to Read more

Can confirm. Bought one of these bad boys a year ago and it changed my life. I have the lower wattage version and it works fine for me. The only problem is it’s really hard to buy gel polish without a cosmo license — if anyone has any tips, please let me know. You can get gel polishes on Amazon, but the colors are Read more

The Sephora Collection brand is great in general. The quality is pretty reliable, their color ranges are extensive and while their prices aren’t drugstore-level cheap, they’re still really affordable! Read more

Hey, I just bought Labyrinth City too! Can’t wait to try it out. The packaging alone sold me (I’m a garbage person when it comes to cute packaging) but Sephora has such a great track record when it comes to quality and price point that I figured it’d be good.

We have Klymit sleeping pads. Both insulated and un-insulated ones. They aren’t the most comfortable pads on the market, but they are legit pads that are about a third of the cost of the most comfortable pads on the market. They are lighter and pack down smaller too. Read more

Don’t forget about Project 62! Seriously, I usually think Target’s home stuff ranges from so-so to throw-it-in-the-fire trash (looking at you, Joanna Gaines) but their modern line is/was surprisingly high-quality and durable for the price point.
