This is a PSA: Your best friend’s 30th birthday calls for an extra special, personalized present! Not sure what kinds of things can even be customized? Look no further. Ahead, we’ve compiled a list of 13 totally adorbs gifts primed for your BFF’s initials or name.
We've all had those moments where our hair is simply... untamable. It seems like nothing you do, or no product you try can help it. That's me almost every morning when I wake up. My split ends are more noticeable, the breakage is showing, and I have kinks in my hair that last for days. So sometimes, the only solution is to simply use hot tools.
I try to minimize my hot tool use to strictly days like this where I know nothing else will work — and that's where flat irons will save the day. Sometimes, a flat iron is the only product that makes my hair look shiny, nice, and let's be honest: presentable. I've tried quite a few, and these are the best, most popular options that give your hair life. And some even do a better job than my Dyson Airwrap can on most days, so let's get into it!
Heat Protectant
Amazon
Chi 44 Iron Guard Heat Protectant
Before we get into the actual flat irons of it all, I want to make sure we all add this heat protectant to cart and click check out, because heat protectant is so important when using hot tools! This heat protectant is one I've been using for years, because of how well it works. It protects even the hottest of tools from your hair, and gets bonus points for being insanely affordable. Like $4 affordable... So definitely grab this one immediately and make sure to use every time you put heat on your hair.
Flat Irons
Amazon
Conair Double Ceramic Flat Iron
I'm a simple woman — I see over 29,000 good reviews on a product, and I click "purchase." It's as simple as that. This flat iron from Conair has such good reviews, that you'll definitely want to try it out for yourself. It has a longer plate than most flat irons, helping to cover more of your hair with each swipe. So, if you've got a lot of hair like I do, then this is definitely the best choice for you.
Amazon
ADOBIRD Cordless Straightener
As someone who travels a lot, an on-the-go straightener is essential. It's something I didn't even know I needed until realizing that my normal straightener was such a hassle to bring places, given the size, and annoying cords. This flat iron is the perfect carry-on size, and it still heats up in seconds, so I don't have to take too long before heading out on whatever adventures I have planned that day. And don't worry — this cordless flat iron also comes with a charging cord, so you don't have to worry about a dead battery while you're out and about!
Amazon
Remington Hair Straightener
This Remington flat iron is good for so many reasons — especially how hot it can get! But another great plus to this hot tool is that it's infused with argan oil and keratin, so as you're using it you're actually helping your hair rather than hurting it. This will replace your damaging and harsh flat iron immediately after trying it. It's genuinely such a good product, boasting 14,000 reviews to prove it.
Amazon
Rozamor Professional Flat Iron
One thing that's so important to me is a flat iron with adjustable temperature settings, because I don't always want to use a lot of heat on my hair. Some days my hair requires less, and sometimes it requires more — it just depends on how unruly my hair is at the moment — so having this setting if super important! It's also titanium, which helps to prevent tugging or ripping of your hair! We love the sound of that!
Amazon
CHI Original Ceramic Flat Iron
This is the OG flat iron that I've used for so long, and there's a reason why. It is dependable, consistent, and doesn't damage my hair as much as other flat irons. The CHI original leaves my hair looking and feeling so soft. I'm telling you right now, this flat iron will last you years and years, because mine definitely did!
Amazon
Babyliss Pro Hair Straightener
All my thin hair girlies, listen up: I've got the product for you! This straightener is ideal for those with super thin hair, because of its slim size and shape. It makes it super easy to finish your hair in a rush without a lot of wrist pain, given how light it is. Sounds like a dream to me!
Amazon
Vanessa Pro Flat Iron
This straightener is amazing for getting straight, sleek hair — but also curls! It's made out of titanium which makes for a really smooth surface that can give you the best curls, because it doesn't tug too harshly on your hair or cause any weird kinks in your hair like a lot of straighteners do. Love that for a versatile styling moment!

Turns Out, Reese Witherspoon Was Working On Her "Crazy" Book Before 'Daisy Jones & The Six'
Oct 07, 2024
On the same day Reese Witherspoon's book club announced it's 101th pick, the actress and entrepreneur excitedly shared she's also co-writing a book with Harlan Coben! I don't know what readers across America have done to deserve this, but we welcome the news with open arms. Reese has a keen eye for choosing invigorating reads — and turning them into fantastic projects beyond the page — so it totally makes sense she's putting her experience to good use by partnering with one of the world's creative mystery and thriller book authors.
Here's everything we know about one of the best pieces of news to come out of 2025.
Where did Reese Witherspoon share her book announcement?
Reese Witherspoon shared the news with eager fans on Instagram by posting a photo of herself smiling next to Harlan Coben. Based on their wide grins, they seem eager to be able to share this secret. We're only calling it that because there's no way we could've predicted Reese would be one-half of a writing duo next year!
She said, "To say I am a fan of Harlan’s body of work is a massive understatement… the fact that he found my idea for this thriller intriguing enough to want to partner with me on it as co-author is a dream becoming a reality," (via The Hollywood Reporter). Harlan followed up with, "Be it acting, producing, creating and even book-club selecting, Reese’s instincts about storytelling across all media are unrivaled."
Authors Lucy Foley and Stacy Lee both expressed excitement with both of them expressing how much they "can't wait to read" the upcoming book.
What's the book about?
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
Since the book won't be published until next fall, details aren't readily available. We can suspect that it'll be a mystery or thriller book based on Harlan Coben's previous body of work. Still, we can't wait to devour what's sure to be a gripping story!
How long has Reese Witherspoon been working on her book?
Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Hello Sunshine
Reese Witherspoon held Hello Sunshine's Shine Away event over the weekend where she dished about her upcoming book with Harlan Coben. "I had the idea two years ago and then I approached Harlan Coben probably eight months ago and I was like, ‘Am I crazy?’ He said, ‘This is a really good idea Reese,’ so I knew I was onto something," she told the attentive audience (via The Hollywood Reporter). Eventually, Reese and Harlan "started brainstorming together" which resulted in them co-writing the book together.
Though she's shocked Harlan "agreed" to co-write the book with her, Reese trusts Harlan's judgement and creativity because she feels "he's an incredibly accomplished writer." According to her, it's been "really fun to collaborate" together.
Is Reese and Harlan's book available for preorder?
Amazon
Sort of! The official cover for Reese and Harlan's book hasn't been released yet, so fans will have to imagine what to expect in the mean time. You can preorder it now if you're not one to judge a book by it's cover!
How many books has Harlan Coben written?
Shane Anthony Sinclair/Getty Images for the NTAs

Having dry skin + loving makeup is an unfortunate occurrence I wouldn't wish upon anyone. It's so difficult to put makeup on, and by the end of the day it's either flaking off or completely separating due to the dryness. While very frustrating at first, I've learned to find products that are targeted for my skintype, and will help to hydrate the applied areas, while not sinking into my fine lines, wrinkles, or dry patches. Let's get into my list of top 10 best concealers if you also struggle with dry or mature skin.
Amazon
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
She's an icon, she's a legend. This concealer is on the more expensive side, but for a reason. It's a staple concealer that will never steer you wrong, no matter what type of skin your have, but especially for mature skin. It doesn't disappear into your fine lines and wrinkles, or make them more prominent. If anything, it effortlessly blends into your skin, whilst keeping full coverage. Def a 10/10.
Sephora
Tower 28 Concealer
This concealer has taken the internet by storm because of how well it brightens. It will instantly make your skin look brighter, and it gets huge bonus points for being extra hydrating. It does not cake at all whenever I've used it, and will melt into your skin so well, people will think it's skincare! Love this one!
Amazon
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Concealer
This concealer is extremely hydrating while not sacrificing any longevity or staying power. It will stay on all day, but manage to hydrate your underages as well. So no creases or separating for this bad boy! I would highly recommend this one for more mature skin as well — it won't disappear into any fine lines or wrinkles.
Amazon
Kosas Revealer Concealer
This is one of my all-time faves, that I only stopped using because I was buying it too much! It is one of the most creamy, and hydrating concealers I've ever used. And that means a lot coming from a severely dry skin-girly. It is so smooth, yet so long lasting, and know I'm thinking I need to go purchase it again...
Amazon
Fenty Beauty Concealer
If you're in the market for a concealer that is pretty long-lasting then I would highly recommend this one by Fenty Beauty. We all know, Rihannalooks flawless in any makeup look, and this is part of her beauty secret! The concealer is what she uses for under her eyes to help hydrate and and de-puff. It's definitely a 10/10, if you couldn't tell from Rihanna's makeup looks!
Amazon
e.l.f. Hydrating Concealer
We love a good drugstore find! This one is super affordable, so you don't have to worry abut using it sparingly — which I love! It also leaves a satin finish for anyone that has more mature skin, and is worried about your makeup coming across as too "cake-y." In fact, it is so hydrating, it has the word in the name.
Amazon
Mabelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer
It's a classic for a reason! This concealer has probably been tried by everyone who has used makeup. It was a notorious best-seller for many years, but having revisited it myself recently, I don't know why I ever stopped! It's super creamy and bendable, which is ideal for dry or mature skin. This one is also very brightening, so make sure to use it under the eyes!
Amazon
Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Concealer
This product is notorious for being perfect for more mature skin. It has great reviews that rave about its ability to cover up any spots or blemishes on the face, but not at the cost of highlighting any wrinkles or fine lines from your skin. It has a really creamy texture that blends into a matte finish that isn't too drying; which is very hard to find in a concealer! This will leave it looking the same all day long!
Amazon
Hourglass Vanish Concealer
I've been using this product for quite some time now, and absolutely love how long it lasts without separating or making my skin look cake-y. It manages to stay on all day but also blend into my makeup seamlessly. I'm normally very very dry and flaky, so it does a good job at keeping the areas of application moisturized while also covering them.
Amazon
NYX Hydrating Concealer
One thing I love about this product is not only its smooth application, but also the fact that it's under $10! So, for only $7 you can get a product that will last a long time, not dry out your skin, and help to concealer your under-eyes and blemishes.
