The Little Things: Beauty Tools & Lifestyle Upgrades Our Team Loves
Five small upgrades — the travel atomizer, the lip oil, the backyard toy — that quietly make everyday life a little better.
Not every favourite is a big-ticket item. Some of the things our team loves most are the little ones — the refillable atomizer that saves your carry-on, the lip oil worth the hype, the flying ring that stole the summer. Here are five small upgrades that punch well above their size.
Travel Spray Atomizer
Generic
No more carrying full fragrance bottles in my carry-on. This little atomizer refills directly from your perfume bottle's nozzle — no funnel needed. It's survived five flights without a single leak.
What I love: tsa-friendly, easy refill, leak-proof design. Worth knowing: small capacity, pump mechanism can jam.
Shampoo Dispenser (Wall Mount)
Generic
My shower looks like a hotel now — clean and organized. The adhesive held up for months so far, and one push dispenses exactly the right amount of shampoo. No more knocking bottles off the ledge.
What I love: declutters shower, easy one-hand dispensing, modern look. Worth knowing: requires adhesive mounting, limited to liquid products.
NOONI Applebutter Lip Oil
NOONI
Lip oil is having a moment and this one deserves the hype. It glides on like silk — not that thick, gluey feeling some glosses have. The apple scent is subtle and natural, and my lips stay soft for hours.
What I love: deeply hydrating, non-sticky, subtle tint. Worth knowing: small tube, reapplication needed after eating.
TOSY LED Flying Ring
TOSY
Best backyard purchase this summer. The LED ring lights up beautifully at dusk and the whole family got competitive trying to out-throw each other. Battery lasts about 45 minutes of continuous play.
What I love: fun outdoor toy, bright leds, rechargeable battery. Worth knowing: needs open space, can drift in wind.
ATTITUDE Natural Laundry Detergent
ATTITUDE
I switched from Tide and I'm genuinely impressed. Clothes come out clean and fresh without artificial fragrances. For tough stains you'll need a pre-treatment, but for everyday loads it's excellent.
What I love: ewg verified, plant-based, biodegradable, canadian brand. Worth knowing: less effective on heavy stains, unscented version is very plain.
