Planning ahead for the colder months, this sound machine\u2013sunrise alarm hybrid will not only help treat those winter blues but also hopefully help me fall asleep easier and wake up more refreshed.\u201d \u2014 Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n HATCH<\/strong> Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cI\u2019m going on the record that these are my absolute favorite, holy grail pimple patches<\/a>. If I had to only use these for the rest of my acne-having days, I\u2019d be more than happy \u2014 that\u2019s how good they are. There are many similar, beveled designs from other brands, but none do it better than Hero Cosmetics. (My husband routinely will not even notice I have them on!) They\u2019re already relatively affordable at under $20 for a box of 39 patches, but at their 21% discount, they\u2019re an absolute steal \u2014 and worth every penny.\u201d \u2014 Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Hero<\/strong> Mighty Patch Invisible+ Patch, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cThis Turkish olive oil, and especially the infused flavor options, is one of my favorites. The set comes with four different varieties\u00a0\u2014 lemon, garlic, chili, and rosemary \u2014 and each is a wonderful complement to summer salads, pastas, and even with bread and charcuterie boards. It also makes a beautiful and unique host present come gifting season.\u201d \u2014 Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Heraclea<\/strong> Aegean Infused Olive Oils Gift Set, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cI have long, thick hair, so you can imagine at-home blowouts are a serious chore. And yet, my natural wavy hair is not the vibe when I want to feel put-together and polished, so styling brushes<\/a> have become an absolute staple. I\u2019ve tried and enjoyed a few from other brands, but Shark has been next on my list. (The power seems next-level and the aesthetic sleekness? Right up my alley).\u201d \u2014 Laura Lajiness Kaupke, Contributing Editor<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Shark<\/strong> FlexStyle HD430 Air Styling & Drying System, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cAfter seeing the limited-release Havaianas x Gimagaus studded flip flops<\/a> famously worn by Kylie Jenner, plus all the DIY iterations across TikTok that have popped up since, I think it\u2019s time I hop on the trend. I\u2019m looking forward to getting these under-$10 flip flops and piercing them with silver pushpins or grommets for an affordable and chic summer style.\u201d \u2014 Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer<\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Havaianas<\/strong> Core Flip Flops, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n “My sister turned me onto this BounceCurl brush after she\u2019d been using it for a couple of months. I\u2019m still testing it for myself and so far it\u2019s been great for giving my wavy hair a little more shape. She has much curlier hair than me and swears the ridged edge\u00a0 of this hairbrush gives her bouncier, more defined curls. There are different versions that help with definition or volume<\/a>, but they\u2019re both on sale right now for Prime Day.” \u2014 Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Bounce Curl<\/strong> Define EdgeLift Brush, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cWhen I first reviewed<\/a> the Oura ring two years ago, I would\u2019ve never guessed how often people (aka my fellow yoga girlies) would come up to ask me if I liked it and thought it was worth the money. My answer is always the same: I absolutely love<\/em> it. No wellness tracker \u2014 not even my Apple Watch, which I also, for the record, really love \u2014 has actually helped me achieve sounder sleep, more movement, and, perhaps most importantly, rest when my body is telling me. It\u2019s lightweight enough that even people like me, who hate working out and sleeping in jewelry, forget that it\u2019s on, and it holds a decent charge (years later, I still only plug in my second-edition ring three times a week at most). Oura rarely does sales, but is offering 15% off the latest model for Prime Day. So PSA: If you\u2019ve been thinking about getting one, this is your sign to do so!\u201d \u2014 Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Oura<\/strong> Oura Ring 4, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been looking to upgrade my living room desk setup, and Prime Day is the perfect time to strike. I\u2019m looking for a well-cushioned faux leather office chair<\/a> with a very high back, so I can recline comfortably, and this one ticks all of my boxes. I love the optic white color, which helps to brighten up some of the darker wooden furniture in my space.\u201d \u2014 Venus Wong, Senior Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Amseatec<\/strong> Adjustable Office Chair, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cA burrata, roasted garlic, and tomato dish is what convinced me that I need<\/em> a Dutch oven. This gorgeous one from Great Jones is the perfect size for my solo cooking trials and tiny kitchen needs.\u201d \u2014 Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Great Jones<\/strong> Baby Dutch Oven with Lid, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cI\u2019m a Crest Whitestrips girl, regularly using them before parties and vacations for a just-went-to-the-dentist-looking smile. These Professional Effects strips make my teeth extra pearly the more I consistently use them, but they also get the job done when I\u2019m in a pinch. However, there\u2019s several Crest products on sale<\/a> right now, so you can peruse and find your perfect fit.\u201d \u2014 Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Crest<\/strong> 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cAfter watching numerous videos across my FYP and YouTube, I\u2019m determined to master a summer hair routine for my wavy-but-not-quite-curly hair. The missing piece of the puzzle? A good hair towel<\/a> to plop and dry my strands. This extra-large design from Kitsch will be perfect.\u201d \u2014 Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Kitsch<\/strong> XL Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n “My sweet rescue baby Miso is perfect in every imaginable sense, but even I will admit his doggy breath can be off the charts (in a bad way). Ever since I started adding Pet Honesty’s Dental Powder to his dinner, I’ve seen (and smelled) a major improvement in his oral health. He also loves the brand’s multivitamin chews<\/a>, so I’ll be stocking up during Prime Day while they’re at a discount.” \u2013 Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Pet Honesty<\/strong> Fresh Breath Dental Powder, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cI\u2019m a big wake-up-and-immediately-chug-coffee kind of girl (motherhood and an intense workload, I tell ya!), and I do not have the patience or desire to clean all the specialty parts of a classic espresso machine. Enter: De\u2019Longhi\u2019s automatic Magnifica \u2014 artisanal-style lattes and more with the press of a button.\u201d \u2014 Laura Lajiness Kaupke, Contributing Editor<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n De’Longhi<\/strong> Magnifica Start Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u00a0 Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This Works<\/strong> Deep Sleep Pillow Spray, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cSummer in NYC is hot and sticky, especially when walking around the subway\u2019s sauna-like platforms. After seeing another woman on the train using a portable fan like this one, I knew it was a summer essential I needed to add to cart. With an 18-hour battery life and five speeds, this handheld fan has tons of rave reviews and is about to save me from being a sweaty mess<\/a>.\u201d \u2014 Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u200eJISULIFE<\/strong> Handheld Portable Turbo Fan, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cPrime Day means stocking up on my essentials, like Ouai\u2019s thick hair conditioning mask that I use for my weekly washes. It\u2019s a luxurious formula for a lot less than other favorites of mine, so I don\u2019t feel overly indulgent keeping it in regular rotation, especially when I’ll get it for 20% off.\u201d \u2014 Laura Lajiness Kaupke, Contributing Editor<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Ouai<\/strong> Thick Hair Mask, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cI hate traveling with a steamer, but what I hate even more are wrinkled clothes \u2014 especially when I\u2019m trying to look cute on vacation. The Nori Press is the most compact (and stylish) travel iron I\u2019ve seen yet, and works like a charm on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, linen, and silk (just proceed with caution, etc., etc.). I used to use a hair straightener to McGuyver my way to smoother, crease-free clothes, but Nori works so much better. Most recently, it made my Alice + Olivia wedding rehearsal dinner dress appear professionally pressed, even though it had traveled over a thousand miles in my suitcase. At 25% off during Prime Day? I\u2019m seriously considering getting a backup in case I ever lose mine.\u201d \u2014 Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Nori<\/strong> Press Travel Steam Iron, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n “Admittedly, I\u2019m not a devoted flosser but really\u00a0strive<\/em>\u00a0(and need) to be. This device has fully leveled-up my game. The elongated handle makes getting between those back molars so<\/em>\u00a0much\u00a0easier, and I can get through the arduous task much quicker \u2014 helping me stay consistent.” \u2014 Laura Lajiness Kaupke, Contributing Editor<\/em><\/p>\n FLAUS<\/strong> Electric Flosser, $, available at Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cI originally stumbled upon this dress when doing a deep dive into Amazon\u2019s best summer dresses<\/a> \u2014 now, it\u2019s on sale. I love the trendy halter neckline<\/a> and rum brown hue, and think it can easily be dressed up with strappy sandals<\/a> and a woven bag<\/a>, or dressed down with a denim jacket and sneakers. And since I\u2019m heading to Hawaii in a month, this will be the perfect lightweight maxi to pack for my trip.\u201d \u2014 Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Shop <\/em>18% off Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock\u00a0<\/h2>\n
