This past holiday season, you could barely get on social media without seeing at least one person post about a DNA kit — meaning if you haven’t done one yet, you’re missing out.

You should really stop putting it off: National Geographic’s Geno 2.0 test is on sale for $30 off at Amazon today, meaning you can experience the magic for just $69.

Grab one for yourself or prep some Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gifts for this year — we’d bet they’ve been wanting to try one.

With Geno 2.0, you’ll do a deep dive into your regional ancestry with a percentage breakdown going back as far as 500,000 years and comparing data from 60 populations. This can be separated into mtDNA (maternal line) and Y-DNA (paternal line) tracing, and you can even discover the anthropological story of how your ancestors lived. Everything can be reached right on the Geno 2.0 app, where you can also access a custom video of your journey. Read more…

A long time (a few hours) ago, in a galaxy (website) far far away…

MeUndies has debuted his and hers underwear that could make even the most stuck-up, scruffiest, half-witted nerf-herders look like a snack — no Jedi mind tricks required.

Meet the limited edition Star Wars collection by MeUndies, and may the no pants days be with you.

Claiming to be the world’s (er, galaxy’s) softest underwear, MeUndies is known for their adorable patterns and matching sets for couples who want to be extra AF. (We’ve been obsessed with them for a while now, and a Star Wars pattern ups their badass factor by a ton.) Fans have also been waiting for a Star Wars pattern to be released, and behold, it has finally happened. Your butt is about to look impressive, most impressive. Read more…

Apparently Apple made a big announcement yesterday or something — I guess they debuted the new iPhones or whatever. You know, something small that we are totally not freaking out over.

If you haven’t yet seen it plastered all over the internet, three new iPhones were debuted at the Apple Event on Sept. 12: The iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and iPhone X Plus. New features include edge-to-edge super retina displays, A12 chips, depth-of-field adjustments for better selfies, and iOS 12. Oh yeah, and they’re just plain gorgeous.

Preordering starts on Sept. 14, because Apple knew we’d all be throwing hands if we had to wait any longer. You’d be smart to get on that preordering as early as possible, but you know what would make you even smarter? Having a case ready for it.

Yup, phone case manufacturers are already rolling out their brand new lines for the unreleased iPhones. So unless you want to risk cracking your new baby on the first day, you should probably get on this. And since most of the new iPhones are going to set you back at least a cool grand, you’ll want to make sure that puppy is protected. (The iPhone XR is the “budget-friendly” model — it starts at $749.) Read more…

Birchbox review: A great subscription box for skincare enthusiasts looking to discover new brands

Birchbox
$10/month
The Good

Super customizable • Loyalty points for discounts • Extra focus on skin and hair care • Great value for the price

The Bad

Samples can be tiny • Less than stellar customer service • Repeated products

The Bottom Line

For skin and hair obsessives, these monthly samples are a clutch way to discover new products — just don’t expect a $10 box to singlehandedly stock your collection.

The makeup world is officially taking over. This $60 billion industry continues to grow and according to Statista, “consumers have been spending higher levels of disposable income on cosmetics than they had in the past.” In fact, during economic hard times, buyer interest in cosmetics stays steady — something economists have cheekily dubbed the “lipstick effect.” Read more…

8 of the best subscription boxes for beauty addicts

What’s the only thing better than going on shopping spree to Sephora and buying things you definitely don’t need? Having a shopping spree delivered right to your house and spending way less than you would in the store for the same amount of stuff.

That’s right, ya’ll, we’re talking about beauty subscription boxes. These are a clutch way to discover new brands and decide if you like a product before buying it at full price, especially when you’re too lazy to return stuff to the store (raises hand). The best part is that these boxes are always valued significantly more than what you’re paying — so you could end up paying $25 for a box that contains $150 worth of stuff. One tiny item at the store is usually $25. Who’s gonna say no to finessing the system like that? Read more…

Back to school season is (somehow) here, y’all. 

This means parents have about a month of kids being excited about entering a new grade until they’re, uh, not anymore — and then they’re rushing through homework to get back to video games and Spongebob. Awesome.

That is, unless they have toys that make math, science, creativity, and spelling fun instead of frustratingWalmart has a massive learning toys section and has dropped the price on a ton of items to give parents a hand with getting kids pumped for learning, just in time for the new school year.

The clock has finally struck Prime Day and people everywhere are frantically adding things to their cart and trying to upgrade every room in the house.

But in the midst all this focus on humans, we’d like to bring some attention ones who really deserve a life upgrade: Our pets.

Amazon wanted to show your fur babies (and scale babies, and shell babies) some love on the big day with deals on pet cameras, interactive WiFi-enabled toys, treats, and more. We’re not crying, you’re crying.

Amazon even has an option to create a profile for your pet to get exclusive deals tailored to your needs, depending on the animal. You can choose from dogs, cats, small animals like rabbits or hamsters, fish, birds, reptiles, and even horses — who gave Amazon the right to be so damn cute? Read more…
