Arguably my biggest guilty pleasure of the moment is scrolling through Amazon's bestsellers page and monitoring (read: often buying) all of the products that are trending on any given day. Naturally, my binge-scrolling has introduced me to a number of incredible products, from portable fans that proved to be a lifesaver during the summer months to cool indoor hydroponic gardens that have seriously elevated my cooking game and, most recently, the Bissell Little Green Multipurpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner ($110, originally $124). If you spend any decent amount of time on Amazon, it's likely that you've seen this bestselling cleaner bubble up on your own recommended results - and for good reason.

With more than 47,000 five-star reviews on Amazon's site, the portable cleaner is consistently a top-seller for the online retailer, with shoppers raving about everything from its practical and compact nature to the effectiveness of the tool - which is designed to tackle upholstery stains and dirt at the source - along with its easy assembly and generally feasible price tag. The cleaner is also often on sale, particularly around Amazon's Prime Day events, so you can even get it for a great deal.

Curious to see how the cleaner lived up to its "bestseller" title, I purchased the product for myself - and can honestly say it's elevated my home living situation for the better (and even sharpened the look of my vintage rugs in the process). Ahead, I break down the full product details about this cleaner, including how to use, who it's best for, and whether or not the cleaner is worth the splurge.

What I Like About the Bissell Little Green Multipurpose Portable Cleaner

As someone who lives in a smaller apartment space that requires me to clean it once (if not a few times) every week, I appreciate the portable and easy-to-use nature of this cleaner. The product is easy to assemble, as it comes mostly put together already and simply requires that you join the actual cleaner with attachments like the flex hose storage bracket. Within a few minutes, you're ready to begin putting the cleaner to work.

How to Use the Bissell Little Green Multipurpose Portable Cleaner

Per directions from the brand, it's recommended that you start by vacuuming your carpet, rug, or desired surface before using the cleaner, that way you'll remove all the loose dirt in the area. After I finish vacuuming my space, I'll fill the product's clean water tank with the Bissell spot and stain pre-treatment formula (which is included in purchase) all the way up to the "formula" line on the tank, and then fill the rest of it up with warm tap water. From there, I then slide the water tank back into the machine and select my preferred cleaning tool. Each Bissell cleaner comes with a variety of tools that boast different sizes, shapes, and uses. For example, the pet stain tool is ideal for targeting pet stains in particular, whereas the three-inch and four-inch tools are better for more day-to-day messes on carpets or in hard-to-reach places.

I personally get the most use out of the three-inch and four-inch tools, so I'll opt for those in most instances. The tool is easy to attach - I simply release the flex hose, plug the product's cord into an outlet, snap the tool onto the end of the hose, and then switch the power button to "on." I then hover the tool about one inch above the spot or stain I'm looking to remove, and then press down on the cleaner's spray trigger. From there, the cleaner will begin doing its magic, and I'll gently scrub the stain with the spray trigger, moving in a back and forth motion until I'm sure the entire area is well-coated. Within a few minutes, I'm able to see the results firsthand and notice my upholstery - particularly my vintage rugs and bath mats, which have a tendency to look pretty discolored and worn down over time - look visibly more vibrant and refreshed.

The aftercare is also incredibly easy - I simply unplug the cleaner, empty and rinse the water tank, and let the tank air dry. The cleaner is compact enough to fit within the linen closet in my bathroom, so it's easy to conceal when I'm not using it and also transport with ease when I am prepared to use it again.

What's Worth Noting

I haven't had my Bissell portable cleaner for too long yet, so it's difficult to rate how the model holds up after several months of use (though I reckon I'll eventually update this review with more details on it in the future). However, I have combed through reviews from other shoppers who have had the cleaner for longer, and while there are relatively few complaints when it comes to this model, some have expressed disappointment with regard to its durability and build. One shopper wrote on Amazon in their review: "Unfortunately, this scrubber is cheaply made. The bristles are already worn out on the attachment it came with and the spot where the hose has to connect within the water/solution container is very brittle." Another reviewer noted that while they "like this deep cleaner," they were less enthused with the product's design, saying: "It has a major design flaw in my opinion which is that the tool cap doesn't come off so you can't adequately or completely clean it."

The majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive, though, and my experience so far can speak to that. However, as with most things, it's important to do your research prior to purchasing this cleaner to ensure it's the best choice for you and your household. And if you're in the market for something that can work in your home for the longterm without fear of its quality deteriorating too quickly, it's worth taking these criticisms into account.

Who Is the Bissell Little Green Multipurpose Portable Cleaner Best For?

This bestselling cleaner is great for all types of households and messes - but especially homes with kiddos or pets where dirt and spills are abundant. Unlike most traditional cleaners, this model is incredibly compact and easy to transport, making it ideal for families that constantly find themselves cleaning all corners of their household. It also holds a decent amount of water within its 48-ounce tank, so you can use the tool multiple times without having to empty out the dirtied water after each instance.

Additional Details

• This compact cleaner is designed to work across a range of surfaces, including carpet, upholstery, auto, and stairs.
• Despite its smaller design, the tool actually has a 48-ounce tank, which can hold a decent amount of dirt and debris, allowing you to clean on the regular without having to empty the tank every time.
• It has a strong suction and spray hose which can work to remove deeper stains on surfaces like upholstery and car interiors.
• The portable cleaner also comes with a trial size formula of Bissell's Spot and Stain with Febreze Freshness formula, which boasts a light scent that's designed to leave your space with a refreshing smell that lasts long after you've finished cleaning.

Where Can I Buy The Bissell Little Green Multipurpose Portable Cleaner?

This portable Bissell cleaner is available to shop at Amazon, Walmart ($89, originally $123), and Bissell ($110, originally $124).

If you've been on TikTok, especially PerfumeTok, you've probably come across beauty content creator Jackie Aina's extensive collection of perfumes and picked up a thing or two about how to layer scents and make them last longer. She's passionate about all things fragrance, as well as making sure that self-care is for everyone and it's more than okay to prioritize it. Enter Forvr Mood, which launched in 2020 during the pandemic. "The one sense of normalcy that I had at that time was fragrance. I was staying home, but I was still wearing perfume, and every single day I was still lighting my candles," Aina says. Amid social-justice protests, too, Aina wanted to focus on taking care of herself and her environment. "It kind of felt like a love letter to what I was going through emotionally at that time, but also my community, and I really put a bigger focus at that time on a brand that centered Black women being taken care of," Aina says.

Working with her now-fiance and co-founder, Denis Asamoah, Aina's vision for the brand was to step away from the overly bougie and intimidating nature of the fragrance industry, and create something that wasn't too kitschy or too niche with a mid-range price point. "I wanted something that was a little bit more modern and definitely luxe, but still attainable," Aina says.

Buying candles, or any fragrance-based product, online is not easy, and that's why the brand prioritizes capturing the feeling and the vibe of a scent. "When we're describing the notes, one person may think lemongrass smells like this, and then the other person may have a completely different definition of what lemongrass smells like. But if I describe to you how you feel, I think people connect with that easier. This is the one that I'm burning when I'm turned up. This one makes me feel relaxed. This one actually makes me feel really romantic," Aina explains.

She also gave us plenty of tips and tricks on how to properly care for candles. "Make sure you're trimming your wick before you burn your candle each and every time; even if you don't think you have to, you probably have to," she says. To prevent tunneling, Aina recommends burning a candle for at least two hours to get an even layered burn pool, and if you don't have the time to let it burn, then don't burn the candle. If you've ever noticed the scent of your candles fading, especially if you use it often, it's probably because you're blowing out your candles, Aina says. "That's literally fragrance you're blowing out, and a lot of people don't know that, so never, ever, ever blow out your candles." The best way to extinguish a candle is to use a snuffer, dip the wick back into the melted wax, or use a lid. "Our candles always come with the lid for this reason; I just put the lid right back on them and they extinguish safely," she explains.

Other than candle care, Aina gives us her tips and tricks on how to live our lives lavishly. As she puts it: "A luxury is supposed to be peace of mind. Things that are luxurious are not just tangible things to me. They're like having access, having time, not having to worry about something . . . if something feels like work or a chore, then it's not a luxury and you need to eliminate it, period."

Beyond creating Forvr Mood and offering candle- and self-care tricks, Aina and Asamoah also shared their current must have products with us ahead.

Living in a small place can make it hard to carve out an extra sleeping space, but that's where sleeper sofas come into play. It's now easier than ever to find affordable furniture pieces that will make your home feel bigger. We went on a mission to uncover the most stylish sleeper couches that don't break the bank while offering plenty of room for both lounging and sleeping.

What to Look For When Buying a Sleeper Couch

Now that you know you want a sleeper-style sofa, you have to find the right one. First consider the desired size and shape: do you want a traditional three-seater choice or more of a large, L-shaped sectional? After you narrow in on a shape, then you should think about the surface material. There are so many options ranging from fabric to leather, and these choices can be defined by your lifestyle. How often do you lounge around at home? Do you have pets or kids? Lastly, the price is a crucial factor to plan ahead of time. Many sleeper sofas can cost upward of thousands of dollars, so we found a handful at lower price points ranging from $340 to $1,000. Ahead, we curated the best sleeper sofas for every type of household to make it easy to find your match. Keep reading to see the nine choices we love and would recommend, all at an affordable price point.

I'm pretty particular when it comes to Halloween decor - you won't find any fake skeletons or "happy fall, y'all" signs in my apartment - but one piece of seasonal decor I can get behind? A disco-ball pumpkin. It's sparkly. It's not scary in the slightest. And it's stylish enough to sit atop any surface all year long.

I'd like to think Beyoncé's "Renaissance" World Tour is at least partially responsible for the recent disco aesthetic resurgence, and it's hardly surprising to see the trend seeping into spooky season. Stores like HomeGoods and T.J.Maxx are selling lots of sparkly disco pumpkins this year right alongside TikTok-famous products like the viral ghost pillow and the flaming cauldron essential-oil diffuser. But if you'd rather have one delivered straight to your doorstep, Etsy has you covered with plenty of affordable disco pumpkins in varying sizes and metallic colors.

Of course, going the DIY route is also an option so you can personalize to your heart's content. To make your own disco-fied pumpkin at home, take any faux pumpkin (preferably in white so there aren't bits of orange peeking through), and stick strips of adhesive disco tiles all over the surface. It's like a real-life game of Tetris to make the tiny squares cover every inch, but the finished product is more than worth the effort.

Shop my top disco pumpkin picks from Etsy ahead to add a touch of whimsy to your Halloween setup this year.

The memory of dragging two hand-me-down check-in suitcases - mutilated mesh pockets, tattered zippers, and collapsing corners - from New York to Morocco in 2012 still lives rent-free in my mind. It was my first solo journey, and I had far too much luggage, and unreliable pieces at that (dug from the depths of my mom's attic). It still serves as a reminder of why, when it comes to luggage, quality is key.

I've since traveled to about 80 countries, usually toting luggage with straps in lieu of wheels, and mostly carry-on only. I was doing great until 2022 (a full decade later!) when this border-bouncing backpacker caved and bought a rolling backpack (a noncommittal hybrid of sorts). Fall in Berlin called for bulky boots and denim, which called for more space - and also, back pain in your 30s is real.

Except I did it again. I bought cheap luggage on a no-name site, and not long later, it ripped to shreds on a cobblestoned corner of Prague, where I bought more cheap luggage - this time a real rolling suitcase. Not long later, I kicked the crap out of that purchase on a corner in Copenhagen because the plastic wheels wouldn't work.

In other words: I learned the hard way to seriously stop skimping on luggage for international travel, whether it's a travel backpack, a duffle on wheels, or a rolling suitcase. Now, I have the level of luggage I wipe down after yanking off the baggage claim belt because it's too special to scuff. But finding the right suitcase took some serious time and research.

What Makes Good International Luggage?

For starters, if you're team Carry-on Only, you'll want to check the dimensions. International carry-on bag limitations are generally about 22 x 14 x 9 inches compared to domestic carry-on bags, which can be up to 24 x 16 x 10 inches.

Durability is also particularly important for international luggage - both carry-on and check-in - because it has to survive greater lengths and various terrains. Heading to older cities, such as those in Europe, means you'll need wheels that can handle cobblestones or bumpy streets. And if you're heading anywhere sans elevators or remotely off the grid, you'll need some heavy-duty handles that allow you to carry your bags to your destination without pulling a muscle. Whether you go for a hard- or soft-shell suitcase also matters. While soft-shell suitcases tend to be more flexible for fitting more for longer trips, hard-shell options tend to be more resilient for rambling around the world.

You also need to make sure that, if your luggage has a lock, it's TSA-approved, so it's recognized worldwide. And it's worth noting that, whatever you lock up inside, most international airlines cap you at 50 pounds per piece of luggage. And while domestic carry-on limits are generally about 35 pounds, most international flights only allow for about 10 to 20 pounds per carry-on bag (though, oftentimes, no one actually checks this!). If you're concerned, you can easily weigh your luggage before you get to the airport with a portable scale, which is convenient to keep on hand.

That's a lot to keep in mind. But, after my fair share of failed attempts, I've done the heavy lifting for you, so you don't have to let lousy luggage become the bane of your next adventure. Shop my picks for the best international luggage, ahead.

When it comes to furnishing your outdoor space, comfort is key. From cozy lounge chairs to useful sectionals and cool daybeds, new furnishings can turn your outdoor area into a sanctuary for relaxation or the ideal spot for entertaining and hosting. Shopping for outdoor furniture is no easy feat; considering all the options on the market, it can be an overwhelming task. To help you find the perfect outdoor furniture for your home, we enlisted the help of interior design expert Julie Brayton, principal and cofounder of Brayton Interiors.

What is the best outdoor furniture to have?

If you're looking to revamp your whole backyard from scratch, Brayton recommends starting with outdoor lighting, which can immediately make the area more inviting. Then, she suggests figuring out how you'll be using the space. "If it's you and a partner, I would start with a small bistro table and two chairs to enjoy coffee or dinner outside," she says. "If you've got a family who loves to eat outside or someone who likes entertaining outside, go with a dining table and chairs and or a bench."

To help determine which outdoor furniture pieces to invest in, consider the arrangement first. Brayton likes to create different seating zones. "Depending on what your space looks like, a place for dining will likely be the first area to appear, and then perhaps it's a two-seater bench at the end of your patio or yard, or behind your dining table," she says. "Maybe two deeper lounge chairs show up in an opposite part of the space."

She also advises picking furniture that matches your home's architecture, as well as the style of your interiors, including color scheme, furniture shapes, and materials. Whether your home leans contemporary and modern or has a more rustic and bohemian vibe, it's best to choose outdoor furniture that reflects that aesthetic so your entire home flows together.

In terms of material, she suggests pieces made with wicker, iron, and teak. As Brayton points out, outdoor furniture will likely develop a patina over time, which we shouldn't be afraid to embrace because it adds charm and shows depth. She also loves incorporating upholstery and textiles to soften up the space. "Seasonally, you can switch out blankets or pillows to make seating more comfortable," she says. However, she recommends using covers and outdoor storage to protect fabrics from weather, staining, and sun-bleaching.

Where can you buy the best outdoor furniture?

"Big-box retailers have some great looking outdoor pieces," Brayton says. Stores like Amazon, Target, and Wayfair sell plenty of options that vary in design and price points. We're also fond of outdoor collections from West Elm, Article, and Castlery.

Ahead, we curated the best, most comfortable outdoor furniture pieces on the market for a stylish oasis in your backyard - no matter the time of year.

Look no further than Abercrombie's ongoing fashion sale, where for a limited time, shoppers can get 25 percent off on the retailer's bestselling styles - including a seriously chic pair of faux-leather pants that feel so perfect for autumn. Keurig is celebrating National Coffee Day with under-the-radar deals on its top-rated coffee makers (along with a few editor-approved models). And just in time for football season, Amazon has released a slew of limited-time TV deals that'll help you to upgrade your home theater setup on a budget and catch the year's biggest games (or, ya know, just Taylor Swift) in high-definition.

Regardless of what you're in the market for, you're bound to find a deal that's worth shopping this week. Keep reading to browse a few of our favorites below.

The "Barbie" movie has generated so much buzz since it premiered, sparking conversations about everything from the health risks of Barbie's feet to the dangers of dating Ken in real life. For many people, the film has also evoked tons of nostalgia, as fans remember getting their very first Barbie and revisit their own "Weird Barbies."

The truth is, Barbie has touched many generations, both young and old. But for us millennials and Gen Zers, our childhood days were filled with Barbie. In fact, Barbie's most popular doll ever was Totally Hair Barbie in 1992 (remember styling her hair with the gel?). Most play dates involved at least one Barbie doll, and if you were lucky enough, maybe you had one of her sisters in your collection. I miss the excitement of going to Toys "R" Us and darting to the Barbie section, then spending hours changing her outfit and making up elaborate scenarios.

So if you're like me and have been craving a stroll down memory lane ever since you got wind of the "Barbie" movie, check out this compilation of the most popular Barbie dolls from the 1990s. From the Bead Blast Barbies to the Disney Fun Barbies, this round-up is bound to bring back some good memories.

Look what she's making them do. On Sept. 24, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's first public appearance was quietly overshadowed by an unsuspecting plate of fried chicken, and brands are eating it up. After a fan account tweeted out a photo of Swift next to a tray of ketchup and what the writer cautiously labeled "seemingly ranch," the Eras Tour performer's condiment preferences were quickly called into question. "Our Ranch Queen," KFC wrote in response. But the chicken chain was not the only company to get in on the condiment conversation.

Swift's sauces struck an unexpected chord with the internet, prompting a series of tributes including Hidden Valley Ranch changing its Twitter name to "Seemingly Ranch." The Empire State Building also made sure to weigh in, posting a red and white throwback photo in honor of the ketchup and "seemingly ranch" combo. The discourse garnered so much attention, Heinz even decided to re-release limited edition bottles of its ketchup-ranch concoction, formerly known as "kranch". The sauce is now dubbed "Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch," and it's predictably making a splash on social media. (Availability and store locations pending.)

The world already loves Swift and her music, but the "seemingly ranch" thread reveals just how invested the internet really is, brands included. "I love knowing Taylor's choice of condiments," cable channel Freeform wrote in response to the initial tweet, while Van Leeuwen Ice Cream also teased a fictitious "seemingly ranch" flavor. The public's desire to know more about Swift clearly manifests in strange ways, and these brands are making the most of it.

As a full-time digital nomad for seven years (and a jet-setter for well over a decade), I've had my fair share of travel companions - some of whom were better than others. If there's one that has always been a ride-or-die, however, it's been my tech case.

Keeping all of my remote-work necessities protected means there's always a safe space for my bazillion charging cords, the portable batteries I seldom remember to charge, my portable hotspot, and all the airplane headphones I snag for backup - and I can always find what I need. Never mind that having all of this organized makes skating through security more seamless, too.

If you're shopping for a tech case for travel, there are a few things to think about, such as which devices you need to store, how much space you have in your personal item or luggage, price points, and the kinds of features you're focused on, like waterproofing and padding. Are you looking for something that can protect your gear in the great outdoors, or look sleek in a business setting? Do you need to store a hard drive, external battery, or tablet? Should you get a full-on backpack, or a smaller travel case just to harness your cords?

Keep those Qs in mind, and keep scrolling to see the travel tech organizers I can confidently recommend for wherever your own adventures take you.

Thanksgiving is all about food, food, food, and more food, but if you're only cooking for two this year, having a table piled high with a feast fit for your extended family and then some isn't always the most logical. And even if you love a Thanksgiving-leftovers sandwich, you can only eat them for so many days. That's why we curated a list of the best Thanksgiving recipes that can be easily tweaked for two. This way, you can still enjoy the best flavors of the season, but you don't have to worry about food waste, a fridge that's stuffed to the brim with plastic containers, or the dreaded food coma right after eating more than you can handle.

If your Friendsgiving feast or Thanksgiving gathering is on the smaller side this year, take a look at these delicious recipes that are perfect for pairs. From portion-controlled potatoes to individual desserts and an herb-roasted turkey breast that's easy to make instead of a whole bird, these Thanksgiving recipes for two are all you need to have a quaint dinner with the one you're most thankful for.

Get ready to work up an appetite, and take a look at the best Thanksgiving recipes for two, ahead.
