Hiearcool Waterproof Phone Pouch

“When it comes to going to the beach or hitting the water park, a phone pouch is a must-have to keep your phone protected from water, sand, dirt and more,” Ndlovu says.

This option has a lanyard to carry it around your neck or as a crossbody, so you can take your phone wherever you go, from boating to quick dips at the beach and more. It’s designed to allow face ID, calling and screen use and even be safe to take underwater — so you can get extra cool underwater photos and action videos on vacation.

Vlando Jewelry Organizer

Keep your precious pieces organized and secured no matter where your travels take you with this neat faux-leather holder. The adjustable metal binder rings let you add or remove pages based on your needs. Each bracelet, necklace, pair of earrings and even watches will slide right into a compartment and it really stays in place, Ndlovu says.

Lands’ End Straw Tote Bag

From the beach to the farmer’s market, Ndlovu calls this tote “perfect for any warm weather outing.” The lined interior has plenty of space for your essentials (think a water bottle, book, sunscreen, snacks and then some), while the outside has extra storage with pockets on the side. Plus, you can slide your beach hat or towel under the bottom strap for even more storage space!

E.l.f. Skin Suntouchable Invisi-Stick SPF 50

SPF touch-ups don’t have to be a pain — this new sunscreen stick from e.l.f. makes staying protected convenient, quick and mess-free. It glides on clear and has no white cast, Ndlovu says, with a lightweight feel you don’t even have to rub in with your fingers. Plus, it also doubles as a primer, offering a smooth base for your makeup that’s water-resistant up to 80 minutes, per the brand.

Viodia Athletic Skort

This comfortable and flattering A-line athletic skort might just convince you to ditch your beloved leggings this spring. The knee-length coverage with built-in shorts is ideal for worry-free movement, with a total of five pockets for everything you’d need to take with you. Did we mention it comes in 25 colors?

Peace Out Retinol Eye Lift Patches (Pack of 5)

Whether it’s due to aging or lack of sleep, dark circles and eye bags can be a pain — but these patches are specifically formulated to address that sensitive area, with retinol and a unique, 360-degree coverage that hits above the eye as well as underneath it.

“To use, just apply to clean skin and let them sit for 15 minutes and pat the excess into the skin,” Ndlovu instructs, and you’ll be looking and feeling more awake and refreshed in no time.

Crep Protect Shoe Protector Spray

April showers might bring May flowers, but they can also wreak havoc on your shoes. Consider this your new secret weapon for protecting your favorite footwear from moisture, dirt, oils and grime. Ndlovu says the shoe protector and water-repellant spray takes one to two coats, waiting ten minutes in between rounds, to create a protective barrier that lasts up to five weeks before you need to spray it again. Not only does it work on sneakers, but it’s safe to use on canvas, suede and even leather, according to the brand.

Bissell Little Green Mini Corded Carpet Cleaner

This new Bissell cleaner is small but mighty. It’s the mini version of the little green carpet cleaner that’s been viral on social media — and for good reason. At a mere seven pounds, it boasts incredible suction power and the ability to clean spills, stains and dirt from upholstery, carpets and other tough-to-clean surfaces.

“It’s so satisfying to watch the stain be vacuumed up,” Ndlovu says. “Just mix the cleaning solution and water into the tank, spray the stain, scrub and clean it away. Never stress over another spill again!”

Color Wow Texas Hold ‘Em Big Hold Hairspray

Spring heat and humidity is no match for this latest launch from Color Wow. The hairspray dries fast, locking in your style with heat protection and UV protection, the brand shares. As its name claims, it’ll help you achieve big, voluminous style on any hair type that doesn’t feel sticky or weighed down.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Tee

Your basic tee just got a luxe update that’s perfect for transitional spring weather. This cashmere pick from Quince can be worn year-round, since it layers stylishly or makes an elevated statement all on its own. It’s available in over a dozen colors and is also offered in sizes 1X to 3X.

Dr. Whitney Bowe Tri-Liptide Peptide Lip Enhancing Treatment

Celebrity dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe has launched her first-ever lip treatment to massive success — the brand says that one unit has sold every 30 seconds! The peptide treatment is a clinically proven, needle-free way to achieve smoother, softer, fuller-looking lips, per the brand.

“I tried it and look at the results after just one use!” Post enthuses. “Talk about the perfect pout… Shop now before it sells out!”

Tan-Luxe The Face Illuminating Self-Tan Drops

Tan-Luxe The Body Illuminating Self-Tan Drops

While we’ve got a couple months to go until summer, you don’t have to wait for the sun to cooperate to get your tan on. These sunless self-tanning drops from Tan-Luxe make it easy to create a subtle glow or fully sun-kissed look in just 4 to 6 hours, Post vouches. Simply mix the desired amount with your favorite moisturizer, serum or oil to warm up your face and body.

Gap Mid Rise UltraSoft Baggy Jeans

Have you heard about the “sweatpant jean” denim trend? Post says the trend is essentially jeans made from a denim that’s miraculously soft, just like sweats. Gap’s UltraSoft jeans get Post’s stamp of approval, as they’re easy to style, so comfy, and available in a ton of washes and sizes XS to XXL.

Ninja Creami Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Maker

If you’ve been holding out on the Ninja Creami, now’s your shot to score it ahead of summer (and on sale at select retailers!). The machine makes custom, frozen treats at home, with one-touch programs to whip up ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes, smoothie bowls and more.

“People love that it gives you total control over ingredients, so you can make low-sugar, keto, dairy-free, and vegan options — perfect for dietary restrictions or guilt-free desserts,” Post says. “Plus, it’s simple to use — prep, freeze overnight, press a button, and enjoy creamy, smooth treats every time!”

Bottle Bright Cleaning Tablets

Be honest — how often do you clean your water bottle? Experts say we should be washing our water bottles daily to avoid bacteria build-up, and this little tablet makes it easy by doing all of the work for you. Simply fill your bottle with warm water, drop in a Bottle Bright tablet, wait 15-30 minutes and rinse — no scrubbing required!

Old Navy Jelly Lattice Ballet Flats

Breaking shopping news: jelly sandals are back. While designer options can cost a small fortune, we found a pair for under $20 at Old Navy that’s just as chic.

“The ’90s trend has gotten a major upgrade — they’re so comfortable, unlike the childhood jellies we remember,” Post insists. “The key with the new jellies is the high vamp, modern silhouette and the bold colors — the red and clear are super hot.”
