When it comes to the top trending pants of 2026, Post says capri pants are high in the running. This option comes in a ton of different colors and four lengths.
“They’re so comfortable and super flattering! They have a pull-on high-waisted fit, so you get a little tummy control,” Post explains. “And they’re so versatile — wear to the gym or yoga with your sneakers, then swap into ballet flats or sandals and you’re ready for brunch and beyond!”
Post is calling it now: body care is the new skin care. Reviewers are obsessed with this investment-worthy tightening body cream, she says, especially with all of the conversation around loose, post-weight loss skin. It’s clinically tested to help reduce the appearance of cellulite and uneven skin, giving visibly smoother and tighter results after just a few weeks of consistent nightly use, according to the brand.
Spring travel is top of mind right now, and no bag is fully packed without this viral tech gadget. This compact power strip is the perfect travel companion, offering four outlets plus USB-A and USB-C ports so you can charge everything at once at home or on your travels. Post says it’s smaller than your phone, wraps up neatly and is even cruise-approved.
“CleanTok” is still going strong, and these Magic Eraser launches from Mr. Clean will help you tackle the last of your spring cleaning to-do list. Over 80,000 people bought this Magic Eraser shower and tub scrubber in the last month, which acts like a scrubber-meets-squeegee to reach every spot on your shower doors, tubs, tile and more. And for everywhere else in the house, there’s the ultra thick Magic Eraser, which works on more than 150 messes with no extra cleaner required.
Senior editor Julie Ricevuto says this pick sped up her cleaning routine. “I used to hate cleaning my shower and tub, but this made it so easy and it was so effective that now I don’t mind doing it at all,” she says.
Going for sun-kissed skin this summer? This $13 product can help you achieve the look. It’s a skin care-infused highlighter made with glycerin and shea butter for all-day hydration that Post vouches gives you that healthy, “lit-from-within” glow... no sun required. Available in five shades, you can use it on your face or body and wear it alone or mixed into foundation.
This stylish little mushroom lamp has gone viral, with over 1,000 bought on Amazon in the last month. It has a cool, mod vibe, comes in a range of colors and starts under $40 (although Post says she thinks it looks way more expensive). It has a built-in dimmer and gives off the prettiest warm glow, making it perfect for a bedside table, desk, dresser or anywhere else you need a little extra light and ambiance.
Editor’s note: Our original pick is currently out of stock, but we found a similar option you can still shop below.
