I receive a lot of products to test on my hair. It’s how I decide what’s worth writing about and what’s worth you spending your hard-earned money on. Some products stand out as must-haves I would re-purchase with my own money during the big Ulta Beauty Gorgeous Hair Event — others are just so-so. Below are my Ulta Beauty sale picks from haircare, tools, and more, to add-to-cart before they sell out.

Ulta Beauty’s Gorgeous Hair Event is one of the retailer’s biggest sales of the year and includes 50 percent (yes, a full half-off!) shampoo, conditioner, leave-ins, treatments, hair tools and more. This year, there seem to be more hair growth products than ever, which is great because so many of us are dealing with hair thinning and other scalp issues.

The deals are from buzzy brands, too. We’re talking best-sellers from celeb-loved Virtue, Matrix, Insert Name Here, Redken and more. Even better, this year there are first-time deals from It’s a 10 and Living Proof—to name a few. We told you there was a lot!

The blowout runs from now until June 3 with new deals each day. To help get you started, I’m including a handful of my must-haves, below. Now, this isn’t all the deals. There are up to five a day!

It wasn’t until I moved to New York City that I noticed just how much walking everywhere could affect the skin on my feet. By no means were they in a terrible state, but the bottom of my heels had certainly seen better days. The skin in this area felt rougher, and I honestly had no clue what to do about it. That’s where products like Lee Beauty’s Callus Remover for Feet could’ve really done me a solid.

The callus remover gets rid of “years” of rough skin from your feet, and “in minutes,” per the brand. This is a pretty tall claim, but fans of the product can assure us all that it gets the job done. One wrote, “I did not expect the results that I got!! 15 to 20 minutes of filing and 98 percent of my callus are gone. I still have spots where there is a slight callus but no more cracks!!! NO CRACKS!! It’s been years since my feet have felt this good. I will forever keep this on hand!”

This game-changer really does discard years of rough skin in a very short amount of time. No more sitting in a salon chair for an hour! And these results come at an affordable price tag of just $15. It typically costs around $17 but is currently on sale for under $15 at Amazon.

“A shocking amount of dead skin comes off,” wrote another five-star shopper. “Really great results, feet that are clean, soft, and sandal-ready.”

Here’s how to get the smoothest feet with this product: First, soak your feet in water and dry them. Then, apply the gel and rinse it off. Finish with a rasp or pumice. 

After following all of these steps, as suggested by the brand, you’ll have baby-soft skin like this reviewer. “This product was super easy to use and effective,” they wrote. “I’ve used this both times after taking a shower. I’d sit on the side of my tub and squeeze [the] gel on my trouble areas and rub my feet together to spread it thoroughly. Set the timer on for about six minutes and play a game or two on my iPhone. When the timer goes off, I rinse the gel off with a small hand brush. Use the callus brush on the areas and rinse once again. Towel dry and viola, baby-soft skin. I am so happy and impressed!”

The time it takes to transform your feet from rough to smooth varies by person, but the results are nevertheless the same. Showing your feet some T.L.C. and getting spa-quality results have never been easier thanks to this fast-acting, professional-grade callus remover from Amazon.

By now, you’re probably well aware that your skin loses collagen with age, resulting in a loss of elasticity (A.KA. sagging, fine lines, etc.). While some seek to alter these changes with medical procedures, others may opt for a less invasive route, such as ‘botox-like skincare.’ Yes, those kinds of formulas are growing in popularity for their filler-mirroring results—just look at the Peter Thomas Roth Firmx Eye Tightener, which swiftly made waves after a viral TikTok video.

If you’re seeking a product that works similarly to the above but for your expression lines, consider the search over: Folks are raving about the Love, Indus Dual Purpose Line Limiter, a formula that instantly blurs laugh lines, forehead lines and lip lines while visibly minimizing their appearance overtime. The brand has been raved about on TikTok by fans (particularly the Brightening Detox Mask), and its 2-in-1 treatment and primer shouldn’t be overlooked.

The product specifically caters to aging skin, so if you’re not experiencing a decrease in collagen production, you may want to bookmark this for later. The Freedom of Expression Serum brings a softer, smoother look to the creased areas on the lips and face, and with regular use, can “bolster thinning skin, enhance lip contours and heal the skin’s fragile areas.” Ingredients like superfoods (kokum), hibiscus extract, senna (similar to hyaluronic acid) and vegan collagen firm and tighten the skin for a more youthful appearance.

Reviewers are seemingly blown away by its results. As one wrote, “I think I just found a magic eraser for my smile lines. I have been using Freedom of Expression Line Limiter for a while now and I am genuinely surprised to see how much it has helped my smile lines. I seriously love this stuff.”

“I have been using it for about 2 weeks, I use it day and night and so far I like it,” shared another shopper. “The metal applicator feels really good on the skin, it feels really cooling. I personally get botox on the forehead, near my eyes,, and i feel this is perfect for like in-between appointments, it visibly blurs fine lines.”

If you’re anything like me, there are times when you’d rather put off solving a problem than deal with it immediately. But the problem may become even more difficult if that elephant in the room is avoided.

Legacy, estate, and end-of-life planning are topics that many people choose to ignore or minimize. The consequences of doing nothing can be severe. I know.

When my elderly, widowed aunt passed away without leaving behind current legal documents or advanced directives, my family was left with a terrible mess to clean up. After her untimely death, years of grief, financial difficulties, and intense family distress followed. What a tragic final gift she gave her family. Certainly not a positive legacy.

I wanted to bring fresh attention to this pressing issue, so I wrote the poem below. Be sure to look at the helpful checklist mentioned at the end of the poem as well.

Elephant in the Room

We all know we'll meet our end
But with silence we pretend
That’s not our fate, won’t happen to us
We push it aside with little fuss.

Tiptoeing around the pachyderm
To skirt the end-of-life alarm
Wills, trusts, and directives
Decisions wise but often postponed

Yet, the elephant looms large and tall
Its presence felt by one and all
We hope she’ll pass on by
But death comes, we can’t deny.

Some wait till their final breath
Leaving loved ones to face death
Without a will or care directive
The aftermath can be quite hectic.

It's time to confront the elephant
To plan for the inevitable event
Making decisions that ease the pain
And help loved ones who remain.

Estate planning's more than legal docs
It's your stories, experiences, and hopes
Legacy writing's a gift you can share
That lasts beyond and shows you care.

Our legacy is more than money and things
It's values we hold and memories we bring
Lessons we teach and dreams we share
The mark we leave on the world with care.

Don’t cause heartache, stress, and strife
Or a financial mess afterlife
Take control of what you can
And give loved ones a sound plan.

Before life's final curtain falls
Embrace this checklist, heed its calls
Effective planning is a must
To grant loved ones peace, security, and trust.

If you haven’t yet started organizing your legal documents, I hope this poem will help motivate you to just do it. It’s really not a matter you can keep putting off indefinitely.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What steps have you taken to address this issue that is often the elephant in the room? Which end-of-life, legacy, and estate planning actions have you completed? What do you want to do next? What else do you think should be on the checklist?
