We’re inching towards the end of summer, indicating the return of carpooling the kiddos and heading back to the office. It also signals the opportunity to reset our routines and welcome a smoother transition into the upcoming season.
Senior commerce editor Julie Ricevuto joins Studio 1A with a line-up of products to help you adapt back into your normal schedule. From sponge “dusters” to hydrating lotions and organizational essentials, these products are all about simplifying and streamlining your day-to-day.
Keep reading to discover the trending organizational and routine must-haves for an August transition.
Trending products in August seen on TODAY
According to Ricevuto, searches for “built-in bra tank tops” were up 50% in the last quarter. We searched high and low, and found the perfect one from Uniqlo.
The tank has a built-in bra with 360-degree support that should feel supportive even worn on its own. The high scoop neck offers moderate coverage and the racer back design frames the shoulders for an overall flattering and comfortable fit.
“If you are frequently stressed, anxious or get headaches, this product will be your new best friend,” reveals Ricevuto. “This product is a neck band that uses ice therapy to cool down one of the pressure points in the back of your neck to help offer fast relief for tension, migraines and general stress.”
She continues, “To use, simply keep the stainless steel, reusable ice pod in the freezer until you’re ready to use.” Follow by placing it around your neck and relax, to which the brand claims should provide relief in just 20 minutes.
The Scrub Daddy Damp Duster collects dust, dirt and debris in just one wipe. Use the duster on blinds, vents, baseboards and more for effective dust removal. It already comes pre-moistened for immediate use, but to clean and re-use again and again, just dampen to activate the foam.
Ricevuto calls the food can strainer above her “favorite new problem solver for the kitchen.” Made with stainless steel, the tool has 97 holes to smoothly filter canned food. Place it on top of the open can and flip to drain without the mess.
Now that we’re getting back into routine, keep all of your important documents secure with this organizational binder from DailyDocs. “I recently got this and I have never felt so organized and secure than the moment all of my important documents — think birth certificate, passports, social security cards, medical records, etc — were perfectly organized in this book,” the senior editor shares.
The binder comes with an easy filing system and set-up guide to help you easily sort, store and locate your documents. Plus, the stylish outer makes it a good gift for new couples, parents and more.
Ricevuto shares that this recent launch from Gold Bond has “exceeded her expectations,” as it offers lightweight, 24-hour hydration with a sweet berry scent. “I like to use this right when I get out of the shower to lock in moisture and then have a light fragrance all day long,” she recommends. This pick also comes in additional fragrances — specifically, Island Peach and Vanilla Dream — for those who want to try a different scent.
