You only need to charge these little babies for 15 minutes to get 15 hours of charge. That is pure magic.
"If you're going to invest in a pair of everyday on-ear headphones, in my humble opinion, these are The Ones. The 80 hours of playtime per charge is no lie. I turn these on at least once a day for a few hours and sometimes go a full month without having to charge them. As someone who is constantly forgetting to charge all of my electronics but is tired of corded headphones, that is an enormous plus. Marshall is known for their amps and speakers, so it should come as no surprise how great the sound quality on these things are — every note is crystal clear. They're not actively noise cancelling, but the padding on the ears definitely helps keep out external noise and ups the sound quality — I really prefer these kind of headphones, however, since noise cancelling ones can make things a little too quiet for me.
"The headphones have one nifty button for turning them on and off, pausing music, and skipping tracks, which works swimmingly. They're pretty dang comfortable for on-ear headphones. My ears start to get a *little* sore if I wear these for four-plus hours but I've yet to find any headphones that don't do that. In a pinch I've even worn these on jogs and they've stayed comfortably on, even in a light drizzle! I also think that these just look cool. A lot of headphones in this style are too modern and sleek for my taste, but these are unassuming, minimally branded, and look plain sweet. After using these almost every day for six-plus months, I could not recommend these headphones more." —Rachel Dunkel

"I lovingly call this wispy bunch 'my foo-foos' because that's just what they embody to me. Fluffy fall decor that...won't die if I don't water it. It's just perfect. Once they arrived I set them out in the sun (like the brand suggested) so they could expand and fluff out to their full potential before giving them a quick spritz of hairspray to help with shedding — they haven't shed since! They're the last stylish touch I needed, along with this vase, to tie my neutral-themed bedroom together." —Jasmin Sandal

Little Era is a small business based in the UK that makes wonderful, colorful prints for different seasons, movies, and more.
"OK now, can we just BASK in the power of Te Fiti's story for a second?! An evil goddess (Te Ka) who's had something invaluable taken from her and is choosing violence every single day until it's returned to her? And when it's returned to her, she transforms into her true nature, which is the gentle Mother Nature, Te Fiti?!! So basically, she wasn't evil at all and justified in her anger because she needed her heart to make the world flourish. LISTEN, I CRIEDDDDDD. 😭 And I only almost cried when I bought this pretty art print for myself and it arrived in the mail. It was shipped quickly and came in the perfect cardboard envelope so there wasn't a single crease or wrinkle, and the paper was super high quality. The artwork itself was super clear and just as vibrant IRL as it looks online. I'm going to cherish my personal Te Fiti forever. It just reminds me that it's OK to love myself and fight fiercely for the things that matter to me and to the world. 🌎💕" —Marquaysa Battle

"I recently bought artist Jen Racine's The Modern Cottage coloring book as well as her Time to Hygge coloring book and it's been a delightful way to spend my time before bed! The images are rather soothing and perfectly on-theme for fall and the upcoming winter. Highly recommend! I've been using a set of classic colored pencils to color in the pages, since it seems markers would bleed through." —Heather Braga

"I have had my Away carry-on suitcase for about a year now and absolutely love it! I've been able to fit everything I need for a weeklong trip into this with room to spare. It has two main compartments: one side with an interior compression system so you can pack all your soft clothes, and then a zippered side for all of your loose items. It also comes with a laundry bag for you to store all your dirty clothes as you travel. I like how durable it is — I've definitely knocked it against the wall or a bench a few times and I haven't gotten a scratch or a dent on it. And even if I do end up damaging it, Away has a limited lifetime warranty on their suitcases that covers any functional damage to the shell, wheels, handles, zippers, or anything else that impairs your use of the luggage. This is definitely a splurge-worthy purchase I feel like I got my money's worth out of (and then some!)." —Ciera Velarde
Get it from Away for $225+ (available in seven colors; USB charger is optional for an additional $20).
This bundle includes: one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two pillowcases.
"I have been #blessed because I get to sleep on these bad boys every night. And when I tell you that I look forward to jumping into bed because of these sheets, I am not exaggerating. Their breathable quality feels like a vacation and yes, because they're 100% linen they do take a couple sleeps to soften up. I was super new to the idea of linen sheets when I received these, but, honestly, I was a convert overnight. I've washed 'em once and the initial scratchy quality has certainly dissipated. They also look *so* chic (seriously, I'm in awe of how the caramel-striped pattern has transformed the look of my bedroom) and I'm even convinced they're helping me to get a better night's sleep!" —Jasmin Sandal
Get it from Brooklinen for $242.10 (originally $269; available in four sizes and five patterns/colors).

"As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes without the discomfort." —Kayla Boyd

This is the Jamaican coin necklace, made by a Black-owned jewelry shop called Omi Woods that makes modern heirlooms made of authentic coins from different countries (like Egypt and Ghana).
"My dad’s side of the family is Jamaican so I bought this necklace to feel closer to my roots. It’s a great statement piece on its own, but I often layer it with other necklaces. I really like the pendant because it subtly pays homage to a rich culture without seeming forced or corny. Not a day goes by when I regret purchasing it." —Christine Forbes
Get it from Omi Woods on Etsy for $110+ (available in four metal options and four lengths).
"I discovered this shampoo a couple of years ago and haven't looked back since! I have thick, coarse hair that tends to get frizzy no matter the weather, and this shampoo makes it soft and bouncy. It makes my waves pop without making them look dry and frizzy, and sometimes I wish I had known about this shampoo in middle school instead of crying over my straightener every day. Best of all, you can find it for under $6 pretty much anywhere. Oh, and it smells SO GOOD." —Allison Jiang
Get it from Target for $5.59.
"My dog is truly obsessed with this toy. I fill the bottom of it with treats and then shove the chip part back into the 'can.' Digging the treats out is a fun challenge, but I find that he plays with it loooong after all the treats have been retrieved. The crinkling just really excites him, I guess!" —Bek O'Connell

A Dozen Cousins recipes are based on the flavors of Creole, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisine founder Ibraheem Basir grew up with. The variety pack comes with two packs each of the flavors Cuban Black Beans, Mexican Cowboy Beans, Trini Chickpea Curry.
"These are the ultimate in convenience. You only have to put the bag in the microwave for 60 seconds, which'll help you concentrate on the other parts of your meal. I love mixing the Trini Chickpea Curry with leftover rice for a super-satisfying weekday lunch. The black beans are TO DIE FOR." —Elizabeth Lilly

"When my husband and I received our first set of 'real' pots and pans from our wedding registry, we knew we wanted to keep them in great condition for as long as possible. We bought a set of these immediately. It's great that they come in various sizes so you can nest your pots/pans inside each other without causing any damage." —Heather Braga

Fable is a NYC-based, family-owned business by siblings Sophie and Jeremy. They found their was a lack in safety standards for pet products so they decided to make products that they felt would be safe for pups.
"This leash is such a lifesaver. My dog is very anxious and has a tendency to bolt. I'm talking 0 to 100, dead sprint. I was so scared that he would catch me off guard and the leash would fly out of my hands. Being able to loop this over my head (I wear it cross-body) has given me total peace of mind. Best of all, I can have both hands free while navigating various walking obstacles. The ease of being able to dig around in your bag while keeping your dog attached to your hip is truly priceless. Bonus: It comes in colors your dog can actually see." —Bek O'Connell
Get it from Fable for $65 (available in two sizes and six colors).
This bad boy works as a grill, griddle, AND panini press!
"Using this lil' grill is so simple a monkey could probably do it. Throw your meat on, close the top, and BOOM — dinner is served. I've been using one for years and it's wonderful for making grilled chicken, burgers, grilled veggies, and paninis." —Heather Braga
Get it from Amazon for $95.35.
"I own this mirror! I recently moved into a new apartment with windows in awkward areas, making my living room darker than it should be during the day. I got this so I could bounce some light from the windows to the other end of the room and it works perfectly! It was one of the first things I put up in my living room and I instantly started getting compliments on it (even though the room is *still* mostly full of unopened boxes)." —Mal Mower

It's from Jwlgang, a small business based in New York City that specializes in personalized jewelry made for gifting (and yes, gifting yourself counts but did you even have to ask?).
"If there's one thing I'll treat myself to, it's cool jewelry. I've bought rainbow clay earrings, a nose-shaped ring, and other baubles I wear on the reg. The latest addition to my collection is an initial 'G' necklace. I have a long French name, and squeezing nine letters on a chain is kinda difficult. This tiny piece still works and I love its Gothic-inspired design." —Genevieve Scarano
Get it from Jwlgang on Etsy for $24.99+ (available in four finishes and four chain lengths).
The pill box is from Pretty Picture Gifts Co., a Washington-based Etsy shop established in 2012 that makes badge Reels, night lights, wedding gifts, flasks, and more.
"I bought this a few months ago because I take a thyroid pill every morning and if it's not in my direct line of sight I will simply forget it exists, but it has also been helpful in organizing clutter on my nightstand in general — the pockets are deep enough that I put in emergency Advil in case I wake up in the middle of the night with a headache, so I don't have to clutter my nightstand with that bottle, either. The shop also has a ton of other designs and larger pillbox options if you're looking for one more tailored to your needs!" —Emma Lord

Evil Queen is a small business based in Traverse, Michigan, that specializes in vegan, nontoxic candles that feature cotton wicks and last up to 50+ hours of burn time.
"When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their 'OMG You're Engaged' candle in a boutique near my NYC apartment a few years ago. I've been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry. My all-time favorites are the seasonal options — and this year's fall collection surely hasn't disappointed. Evil Queen recently went under a rebrand and the new labels are simply a 10/10. They still feature the sassy one-liners I've grown to appreciate but have a much cleaner look any candle fan will enjoy." —Heather Braga
Get it from Evil Queen for $22.
"This is the second Harmati piece I've gotten for my home and the line has quickly become one of my favorite places to get furniture and decor (not just from Amazon, but in general). This bench feels luxurious and added a real statement to my bedroom. It's also a cinch to spot clean, which was big for my two-cat household. I highly recommend getting this!" —Mal Mower

To use, just attach the Wad-free to the four corners of your sheets and wash and dry them like normal!
"I'm one of those people who actually likes doing their laundry (gross, right?) but I've also grown to really dislike dealing with my bedsheets and duvet cover. King-size sheets just don't get along with my washer/dryer; they're always bunching up and taking forever to dry. Bringing them to the laundromat became my only option, and a costly one at that in terms of both time and money.
"Then one day an email popped into my inbox introducing me to Wad-Free for Bed Sheets, a detangling device that would do away with my very specific laundry woes. Equal parts excited and skeptical I was! But after my first test on both flat and fitted sheets as well as the duvet cover, I'm sold! My sheets were all evenly dried (in a reasonable amount of time) and didn't ball up causing wrinkles or the washer to start rocking all over the place.
"As much I'm going to miss seeing that cute old dog who sleeps by the space heater at the laundromat, I'm going to enjoy not having to leave my apartment or open my wallet every time I want clean sheets." —John Mihaly

"My French Bulldog is extremely spoiled and gets new toys all the damn time — my sister will, I’m not kidding, raid the rows of TJ Maxx once a week for a new seasonally appropriate squeaker. There’s currently a mangled pastel purple bunny sitting in the garbage because, yep, he chewed right through it in a day...which brings me to my point! Chew toys can cost anywhere from $10 to $14 a pop and last maybe three days with minimal play. My dog sleeps for 18 hours in a 24-hour cycle so it mystifies me that he manages to go through them so quickly. But a few months ago, I found this very plain yellow duck toy on Amazon that had over 14,000 reviews with buyers claiming it could take a lot of wear and tear. I thought, my doggo deserves the best so let’s try it out.
"Folks! This duck is woven with Valyrian steel! I literally purchased this on November 24, 2020 (and I’m writing this it is March 25, 2021) and it’s STILL GOING STRONG. It has not torn, ripped, there is no toy entrail fluff scattered throughout our living room.. nada. It’s still perfectly intact and Rockie generally prefers this toy over any other one in his ever-changing arsenal. It’s also perfect for his medium frame but I can see it being equally as ideal for smaller dogs because it’s lightweight, despite being on the larger side. My dog is also strange in that he prefers sleeping on this random blanket in the corner than in his bed and sometimes he’ll drag the duck with him and lay next to it and I just...my eyes fill with tears when I think about how adorable that is.
"The best part is that the toy costs less than $10. Considering the quality, you’d expect it to cost *way* more considering that I haven’t had to replace it in the four months of me owning it. And again, I want to stress — my dog typically shreds through toys in less than a week, so to have one last 15x longer?! It’s pretty sweet. I also want to point out that the squeaker isn't obnoxiously loud which is pure bliss." —AnaMaria Glavan

Avec is a Black woman–founded business specializing in making mixers, and thereby your cocktails, packed with real juice and natural botanicals. The sampler comes with three each of the flavors Jalapeño and Lime, Ginger, Hibiscus and Pomegranate, Grapefruit and Pomelo, and Yuzu and Lime.
"I did not expect to be blown away by canned mixers, yet here I am! Avec's drinks taste so fresh, it's hard NOT to make that "ahhhh" sound you do after you have a tasty beverage after every single sip. Their flavors are classic, but all have a fun, modern twist. For example, I expected their Ginger flavor to remind me of normal ginger beer, but inspired by Jamaican Ginger Beer, they combined ginger with pineapple juice, lime, and allspice to make a perfect drink that blows run of the mill, sickly sweet, bottled ginger beer out of the water.
"I tried the sampler and loved every single flavor. Avec is lightly carbonated, lightly sweet, and every flavor truly tastes so thoughtful. I actually don't drink anymore, but I consider myself a nonalcoholic cocktail connoisseur, and combining Avec with my favorite NA spirits like Monday gin, Ritual tequila, or any Lyre's flavor has never NOT been a home run. I haven't always been alcohol-free though, so I can also confidently say these would make equally incredible mixers for actual spirits. If you're looking to up your at-home cocktail game without busting out the juicer and making a ton of extra work for yourself, Avec is for you." —Rachel Dunkel

"These are hands down the best pimple patches I’ve ever used. Why? Because they actually work. I’ve tried some more cutesy patches that were great for Instagram photos but did nothing to shrink my breakouts. And the pimple patches that touted themselves as basically invisible were — but so were any results. While the Hero Cosmetics pimple patches are a little more visible (but really only noticeable if someone were standing really close to my face), the results are clear to see. (And JSYK, they also make an invisible version but I have not tried it.)
"IMO they work best on whiteheads, drawing out the pus and preventing me from picking. Once all the fluids are drained (yum!), I plop a patch on what was once home to a very angry whitehead and replace it twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). In my experience, that has been the best treatment for preventing really noticeable hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, which my skin is really prone to after breakouts.
"I also really love the packaging. The patches come on a perforated sheet so you can easily remove the stickers as needed. With other patches, I’ve struggled to peel off the stickers and inadvertently crumpled them up, which is really annoying because then they’re basically unusable. Thankfully that’s never been a problem with these." —Melanie Aman

The Roll Keeper is a small business based in Kelso, Washington. AND you can even use it for craft supplies like posters, vinyl, and sewing stabilizer!
"Anyone who knows me (or has read pretty much any of my articles) will not be surprised in the slightest to learn I have quite a few of Disney-inspired T-shirts in my wardrobe. And by 'quite a few' I mean around 50+ shirts...which have become increasingly difficult to store since I don't have a Fairy Godmother to bibbidi bobbidi boo them into my closet neatly. Enter: The Roll Keeper. This contraption has been an absolute lifesaver for me since moving into my new home. I piled all of my Disney tees onto my bed, rolled each one up neatly, and stored them in the double-sided organizer. I even sorted them by color! When I was all done (with room to spare for more shirts!) I attached the stretchy cord at the top to a hanger and hung it up in my closet. And to think some people think magic isn't real..." —Heather Braga

"I got this water bottle over the summer to keep track of my daily water intake and it’s still my favorite water bottle I’ve ever purchased. The rubber bands make it feel less like tracking my water intake, and more like playing a game. I also LOVE a water bottle with a straw, because it somehow feels less tedious than sipping it directly from a glass. So overall, this gets a million/10 ranking." —Sam Wieder
