Right now, we're reaching for products that make everyday life a little easier. From a Shark hair dryer and Mary Jane flats to a dog life jacket, these are the purchases our team actually made.
The opinions expressed below are those of the individual FOX News Deals team members, and your experience may vary.

The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex cuts down drying time. (SharkNinja)
"My Dyson Airwrap recently died, so I've been on the hunt for a replacement. After borrowing a friend's Shark SpeedStyle, I decided to buy my own. The attachments are similar and the $150 price tag is hard to beat." — Caitlyn Martyn, Commerce Editor
Madewell Mary Jane flats: $168
These Mary Jane flats have a buckle strap and cushioned leather for all-day comfort. (Shopbop)
"I'd been searching for a pair of flats that felt both summery and polished. These Madewell flats are comfortable enough to wear all day at work, and I can easily walk to and from the office in them. They pair just as well with jeans as they do with dresses, and they've quickly become a staple in my closet." — Jaclyn Kaufman, Associate Production Editor
Bur Bur Mermaid mini brush: $54
Boar bristles gently detangle and boost shine. (Nordstrom)
"I purchased this brush during the Nordstrom sale as a recommendation from a friend. It's great for thick hair. I love the shape of the handle — it's comfortable to hold. The brush does a great job of distributing oil from root to tip." — Brianna DiCamillo, Commerce Analytics Manager

Original price: $29.99
These cargo shorts have an elastic waist and plenty of pockets. (Kohl's)

They fit everything from tools to a full-sized book! Plus, I've worn them on 90-degree days and they don't trap heat like other shorts." — Christopher Murray, Commerce Writer

Life jackets aren't just for humans. (Amazon)
"My family is taking a trip to Palm Springs and my dog enjoys going down the water slide with the kids. However, he isn't the best swimmer.

Kitsch mini hair clips: $7.99
These mini hair clips create effortless hairstyles in seconds. (Amazon)

These mini clips make it easy to pin back small sections for more intricate twists. They go with everything and add an elegant finishing touch." — Nusrat Sultana, Commerce Editor
