Let’s face it: how many times have you bought something just because someone you adore wore it? Thankfully, not everything celebrities own is super expensive and some items are affordable for most of us to purchase. Whether formal or casual, these 14 products will make you fall in love.
1. Lele Sadoughi’s classic headband was proudly worn by Drew Barrymore, Hilary Duff, and Naomi Campbell. It is made from canvas and features a lovely knot at the top. It comes in black and is knitted.
Promising review:
- I noticed a friend wearing one of these cute headbands. We got into a discussion how I can never wear headband because the pressure they put behind my ears and cause headaches. I owe it to her to introducing me to this brand of headband. It is so comfortable and so cute on. I recommend if you have had issues like me in the past. @Mary Payton Noah
2. Superga trainers that are longtime favorites Catherine, Princess of Wales, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Aniston. They are made from canvas and come in a variety of colors. They last in time and can be washed in the machine.
Promising review:
- I am a woman, U.S. size 8 in shoes and I purchased my trainers in a unisex 7 (for extra space since I have a wide foot). It fits perfectly. The only downside is that the back of my ankles rub against the back of my trainers, which made the back of my ankles a bit rough on the skin. Other than that, they are absolutely comfortable.
Although, one last thing is to purchase a pair of shoelaces that are long enough for the trainers because my shoelaces didn’t fully lace up. Overall, an excellent pair of shoes that were also worn by both Princess Katherine of Wales and her younger sister Pippa. @Kate
3. Khloé Kardashian’s favorite water bottle with inspirational quotes and time markers. It also features a straw and removable strap. It reminds you to stay hydrated every single day. It is made from food-grade, eco-friendly, reusable Tritan plastic.
Promising review:
- This jug is pretty awesome, definitely a lot bigger in person than I would’ve expected, but I love it and use it every day! I will say that cleaning it is kind of a pain since the strap on it isn’t easily removable. You either have to pry it off or clean the bottle with it on.
I got this as a Christmas present to myself and don’t even use it everyday due to the fact that if I don’t make sure the seal is in right, it leaks all over the place and the clasp that hold the bottle closed is broken as of this morning. I expected a just a little more out of the durability as it just broke on its own, wasn’t dropped or anything. @Ashton
4. Stance socks we’ve seen people like Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Hailey Baldwin wearing. Their seamless toe closure gives your feet less friction and more protection. They are suitable for both women and men in different styles and color combinations.
Promising review:
- Socks are well-made and fit well. I think it’s cool that both feet are slightly different designs, I actually get compliments when I wear these. I would have never thought I would get compliments on socks, oh well, who says socks have to be boring? My only problem is I can’t find other Stance socks with similar designs. Very good price, too. @Shale
5. Levi’s 501-type jeans celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Victoria Beckham wear. They are soft, lightweight, and accentuate your legs. They are light blue and are ideal for daily use. It’s best to wash them in cold water and without any bleach.
Promising review:
- I wanted to try high-waisted wide leg jeans for a long while, but couldn’t find a style I really liked… until now. I normally only wear stretchy slim jeans, but lost some weight and wanted to get a better fit. These are great, perfect sizing, perfect length, and not too much stretch. Finally, pants that don’t fall down to my hips. Great color and very comfortable. @Carol
6. Telfar shopping bag that is Oprah Winfrey’s personal pick. It comes in color purple and features a double strap. Made of faux leather, it has a main compartment with magnetic snap closure and an internal zipper pocket.
Promising review:
- I’ve wanted a Teflar bag for years and I must say I am not disappointed. The small bags are cute for date night or running errands. The medium can totally be a carry on for travel, a bag for a business lady, a bag for a mommy that has to take kids to the stores with her for or a cute date night! I’m a proud owner of 8 Teflar bags now. @Aisha Bennett
7. Apsvo chunky gold or silver earrings proudly worn by Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. They are ideal for sensitive ears and are hypoallergenic. They are made of gold-plated copper and do not flake off and lose color.
Promising review:
- I am so pleased with this purchase. These earrings are such a nice size. Not too little, not too big.
A bright, beautiful gold. And they are actually heavy duty, I was surprised they felt as good of quality as they were. Highly recommended! @Angela Frank
8. Yeti portable cooler that is Matt Damon’s favorite. It offers superior cold-holding, with a capacity of up to 12 cans plus ice. Its high-density fabric withstands punctures and UV rays. Its shell is waterproof and holds its own when faced with the hazards of the wild.
Promising review:
- This thing is built like a real tank. The zipper is mega strong and even comes with a tube of chap stick type lubricant for it. Still extremely pricey, even for such a high quality product, but it should last a VERY long time and the cans or ice remain COLD, for well over a WEEK! @Don Killough
9. Thick high-waisted yoga pants similar to those Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, and Jennifer Lawrence donned. They come in a wide variety of colors and designs. They provide tummy control and feature 2 pockets. They are very comfortable and feel natural on the skin.
Promising review:
- I’m always on the lookout for workout leggings that are both comfortable and functional, and The Gym People Thick High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets definitely deliver. The first thing I noticed about these leggings was the quality of the material. They’re thick and well-made, and they feel great against the skin.
These leggings are also very comfortable to wear. The high waistband provides a flattering fit and good tummy control, and the fabric is soft and stretchy. I also love that they have pockets on both sides, which is perfect for storing my phone or keys when I’m working out. @Susan C — California
10. Marc Jacobs’ tote bag Kim Kardashian and SZA have worn for the brand’s campaign. It comes in various colors and features a zip and a long strap to put around your shoulders. This is a small size and can fit most of your necessities.
Promising review:
- Cute bag but nothing special. I bought an insert to help with organization, but it really helped hold its form and sit straight. The main shoulder strap is the only thing on the bag that feels «nice». I’d even consider buying another strap to swap out to change it up in the future.
My calendar does fit, but just barely. Your iPad will fit, but it’s going to cut it very close. Now I’m wondering how the large compares. @Reed
11. Birkenstock sandals our favorite celebrities have worn, including Reese Witherspoon, Margot Robbie, and Gwyneth Paltrow. They are made from oiled leather. They are quite wide but can fit any feet thanks to the adjustable straps.
Promising review:
- As long as you know your correct size, everything will be fine. Both my son and I wear a size 39. His are a men’s 39 and mine are a women’s 39. I wear a true 8.5, and I believe my son wears a men’s 8.5 as well. I have worn Birkenstocks since I was a kid in high school, and they most definitely don’t disappoint.
Great if you have foot problems (arch issues, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs). The only shoe I can wear while being on my feet all day long and not be in pain when I get home. I believe the Birks in question are the ones I bought for my son. He LOVES them.
They used to be known as «hippie» shoes, but they have made a huge comeback and are considered quite the style statement for men and women. Considered «cool shoes» if worn by a high schooler. @fivegreatkiddos
12. Biore pore strips that are Rihanna’s makeup artist’s favorite tool to clear skin. They unclog pores from dirt and residue in just 10 minutes. With continual use, you can help reduce the appearance of blackheads and see a visible reduction in the size of your pores.
Promising review:
- After trying out multiple similar products, this one seems to work the best! It is super easy to put on (tip: on wet skin) and every time I used it, I could see white sebum dots once I removed it. The only problem I had was bits of mask remaining glued to my nose after I took it off. However, it only happened every couple of times and is super easy to wash off, so I don’t mind it too much. @Filip
13. Unisex Crocs clogs, celebrities like Justin Bieber, Pharrell, and Bad Bunny often wear. They are very easy to clean using water and soap. The ventilation ports add breathability and help shed water and debris quickly.
Promising review:
- The crocs fit as expected if you order down. I wear 6 1/2 and ordered the 6. Perfect. I also have wide feet, and they aren’t too wide. They are a perfect fit.
There isn’t any rubbing or breaking in period. I decorated them with jewels. I’m 61 years old and I sport these well. Money well spent. Again, the color is beautiful. @cici
14. Kendra Scott Courtney paperclip necklace Reese Witherspoon loves. It is ideal for layering and complements both delicate necklaces and larger statement pieces. To protect the plating, remove your jewelry prior to contact with water.
Promising review:
- I enjoy wearing this necklace alone or as part of a layered look with many necklaces I already own from my Kendra Scott collection. It is great quality and quite dainty and not heavy at all. @Toothdrmom3

I Came Home to Find My Daughter and Babysitter Missing — the AirTag Showed She Was at the Airport
A simple babysitting job turned into my worst nightmare when I came home and found the babysitter and my daughter missing! When I discovered what happened to them, who was involved, and why, I went into a rage!
In the 40 years I’ve been alive, I’ve experienced all kinds of things, but I never expected my life to turn into something out of a suspense novel! Last Friday, that’s exactly what happened! But before I get to that, let me give you some background information.

My ex-husband, Daniel, and I split two years ago, and to say it was messy would be putting it mildly! His mother, Brenda, never liked me, but after the divorce, her resentment turned into something more, something bitter, personal, and relentless.
She saw me as the villain in Daniel’s life, the reason everything went wrong, and she made sure I knew it every chance she got. Since the divorce, things had been better with Brenda because I hardly had to deal with her.

The only time we interacted was because of mine and Daniel’s daughter, Lily. She was five years old, bright, full of energy, and the only thing in my life that truly mattered.
At the beginning of the week of that fateful Friday, my baby girl had come down with a cold. Nothing serious, just enough to make her a little tired and sniffly. I hated leaving her at home, but I couldn’t take more time off work. Little did I know that my decision would land me in the most stressful situation I’ve ever been in!

Having no other way out, daycare refused to attend to sickly children, and not wanting to reach out to Daniel or his mother, I had Jessica, my regular babysitter, watch her. Jessica was a sweet college student with impressive references, and she had always been reliable.
She’d been looking after Lily for months, and I trusted her completely. All went well while I was at work until that Friday evening. When I pulled into my driveway, I was already thinking about curling up on the couch with Lily and her favorite blanket to watch one of her beloved movies.

I looked forward to cheering her up and had even picked up some soup for her on my way home. But the moment I stepped inside, something felt off.
The house was quiet. Too quiet.
No usual cartoons in the background. No little giggles. No soft humming from Jessica as she moved around the kitchen, singing along to the radio’s soft background music. Just silence.
My stomach dropped.

“Lily?” I called out. “Jessica?”
Silence.
I moved quickly, checking the living room, the kitchen, Lily’s bedroom, nothing. My heart pounded harder with every empty space I found!
Maybe they had stepped outside? Gone for a short walk? But Jessica always let me know before taking Lily anywhere.
I pulled out my phone and called her. It rang. And rang. And rang.
No answer.
I tried again. Straight to voicemail.
Now, my hands were shaking. Something wasn’t right.

Then I noticed it, Lily’s pink backpack was missing! The one she never left home without.
And that’s when I remembered.
The AirTag!
A few months ago, I had slipped the small tracking device inside that very bag. At the time, I had felt a little ridiculous, like I was being paranoid. But now, I was grateful for it!
I opened the tracking app, barely able to breathe as the location loaded.
And there it was.
Lily’s backpack was at the airport!

My blood ran cold!
And for a second, my mind refused to process what I was seeing. The airport? What the hell was my daughter doing at the airport?!
I didn’t stop to think about it further. I knew I needed to act immediately! So I grabbed my keys and ran out!
The drive was a blur of red lights I barely stopped for and angry honks I ignored. I kept checking the app, refreshing the location over and over.
Still at the airport.
Still there.

As I weaved my way through what little traffic there was, driving through red robots and dodging cars left and right, I couldn’t help the speculations forming in my mind. Was Jessica involved? Had she been tricked? Was my daughter being taken out of the city? Out of the country?
By the time I pulled into the parking lot, my entire body felt numb! I barely parked properly and didn’t even lock my car—I just ran!
I pushed through the crowd, scanning faces frantically. And then I saw it!
The pink backpack!

And standing beside it—Jessica!
But she wasn’t alone.
Lily and Daniel were there. And Brenda!
Rage surged through me so fast it almost blinded me! I stormed toward them, my voice echoing across the terminal.
“What the hell is going on?!”
Jessica turned sharply, her eyes widening with panic. Daniel, on the other hand, barely reacted. And Brenda, she had the nerve to smile!!!

“Oh, Charlotte,” she said smoothly, like we were old friends. “No need to make a scene, dear.”
I ignored her, my focus on my daughter. Lily turned, her little face lighting up as she saw me.
“Mommy!” she cried, running straight into my arms. She clung to me, her little fingers digging into my jacket. “They said we were going to the beach.”
I froze.
“The beach?” I pulled back slightly, looking down at her. “Who said that?”
She pointed at Brenda.

My jaw tightened as I turned back to them. “You were taking her out of state?!” My voice was low, shaking with anger. “Without telling me?!”
Brenda sighed dramatically. “Charlotte, honestly—”
Daniel cut in, his voice cool and dismissive. “We’re taking her for treatment. You’re overreacting.”
“Treatment?” I snapped. “She has a cold!”

“Sun and ocean air will fix her right up,” Brenda said, waving a hand. “We already booked the resort for two weeks.”
My stomach twisted! They had planned this. They had packed her bag, bought tickets, arranged everything, without saying a word to me!
Jessica let out a strangled gasp. “Wait—what?” She turned to Daniel and Brenda. “You told me she knew. You said she was meeting us here!”

I looked at her sharply. “They lied to you, Jessica. They tricked you into bringing my daughter here.”
Jessica paled. “Oh my word! I—I didn’t know.”
I turned back to them, fury clawing its way up my throat. “You thought you could just take her?!”
Daniel sighed, rubbing his temples. “We thought she’d be better off with us for a while.”

By now, airport security had started paying attention. I could see them watching, whispering into radios. Good!
I squared my shoulders, my voice steady. “This is kidnapping!”
Brenda’s fake smile wavered. “Oh, don’t be so dramatic. This is just a misunderstanding.”
I laughed, short, humorless. “Dramatic? A misunderstanding? You lied to a babysitter, packed up my daughter’s things, and bought plane tickets. What do you think this is?!”
A woman shouting | Source: Midjourney
That was enough to make them move. Within minutes, airport police were questioning Brenda and Daniel. I clutched Lily to me, my heart still hammering, but she was safe. That was all that mattered.
“You manipulated Jessica into getting involved in your scheme to take my daughter away from me?” I challenged my ex-husband, cutting into what the guard was saying to him.
He shrugged. “We just made sure she didn’t question things too much.”

As people started gathering closer to hear what all the drama and shouting was about, Daniel noticed. He knew at that point that they had lost. There was no way he’d take Lily away without explaining to the security guards what had actually happened.
Brenda, on the other hand, tried one last time. “Charlotte, darling, let’s not be rash, we were only trying to help Lily.”
“If you ever try to ‘help’ by doing something like this again,” I cut in, my voice sharp, “you will never see her again!”
Silence.

Brenda’s lips pressed into a thin line, but she knew. They had pushed too far this time.
In a desperate attempt, my mother-in-law (MIL) huffed. It was clear she was trying to throw a tantrum. All that remained was for her to stomp her feet and throw herself on the ground!
Instead, she threw Daniel a pleading look, but he was already backing down. He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Fine. Whatever. Take her.” He gestured toward Lily as if she were an object one could toss aside without a second thought.

Without another word, I turned and walked away, Lily’s tiny arms still wrapped around my neck. I left them standing there, their grand plan crumbling around them.
Jessica quickly caught up with me, offering more apologies and asking for a second chance. A passing thought occurred to me as we walked, “Why didn’t you answer any of my calls?”
“My phone is in my bag. I didn’t hear it ring. When I got here, Daniel and Brenda were already waiting for us, so I rushed to them instead. I am so sorry, Charlotte. I should’ve known better,” she explained.

I was too drained to deal with her, but I knew she was innocent in all of this. I’d seen how manipulative my ex and MIL could be, so I promised to get in touch with Jessica in a few days. I needed to think.
Understanding my predicament, Jessica waved goodbye to Lily, who gave a small smile and waved back apprehensively. My poor child wasn’t sure who to trust anymore, even her favorite babysitter had betrayed her.

I hugged her tighter as I carried her to the car and realized that this was far from over.
They thought they could control me. That I’d just accept all this nonsense.
But they had no idea who they were dealing with.
