SB Hot List: 9 of our Newest Obsessions
Hot Tools 24K Gold One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer
“I bought this in April, and it has CHANGED my life. Ok … it’s changed my hair’s life. I absolutely detest drying and styling my hair. I wanted one of the ‘tools’ everyone was talking about, but I was not paying more than $100. I found this one on sale on Amazon for about $40. It is truly incredible. I let my hair air dry for a few minutes and spray it with a heat protectant before I blow it out with this thing. It makes you feel post-blow-out, and it’s so quick and easy. 20K+ five-star ratings don’t lie.” — Zoe Yarborough, Staff Writer

Frisco Ripstop Dog Life Jacket
“My friend loves this life vest for her older, arthritic dog, Pete. He can’t really walk that well, but one day he accidentally fell into their pool and was just swimming away, having a good old time. They now use this vest for him, just in case he needs a little extra floating help. Plus, the handle makes it easy to help him out of the pool.” — Cameron Meek, Account Executive

The Serums Kit from Complexion
“I recently started using the AM and PM Serums from Complexion, and I love them. I’m over the moon that I don’t need to use a 20-product skincare line to give my skin the balance and hydration I’m looking for — everything my face needs is in those two serums! Keeping it simple is exactly what I’m going for right now. Plus, I’m thrilled to support a Southern business owned by two strong and savvy women!” — Jenna Bratcher, Lead Nashville Writer & Associate Editor

Sweet Bobby
“If you’re fascinated by stories about catfishing and scam artists — think “Tinder Swindler,” “Inventing Anna,” and worse — you’ll like the Sweet Bobby podcast. My jaw absolutely dropped when the catfisher’s identity was revealed. Full disclosure: This podcast is a little dark and a little sad, but it’s great for long drives and cleaning days.” — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor

Almond Butter Chia Overnight Oats
“I’ve been loving the almond butter chia overnight oats from Trader Joe’s. They’re so easy to grab and go in the morning, and they’re also delicious! I usually add fruit on top, but they’re just as good plain.” — Mary Blake Graves, Intern
These almond butter chia overnight oats are the perfect breakfast treat, mid-day snack, or late-night dessert. Image: Trader Joe’s
Where’d You Go, Bernadette
“A friend recommended Where’d You Go, Bernadette to me forever ago, and I stumbled across a copy during one of my recent bookstore journeys. The story follows the relationship between a mother named Bernadette and her daughter Bee. When Bernadette mysteriously disappears, Bee sets out to discover the truth about what really happened to her mom. It’s a hilarious, heartfelt story about the unique relationship between an eccentric mom and her daughter. I read it in two days, and I can’t wait to watch the movie next!” — Brianna Goebel, Associate Editor & Staff Writer

Tanteo Jalapeño Tequila
“Some good friends had some people over and made ‘ranch water’ with this tequila (just add Topo-Chico and lime juice). Then, my cousins had the same tequila for their tasty margaritas. It’s definitely a good addition to your tequila offerings!” — Liza Graves, CEO & Founder
