A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
It's nearly August, which means summer is starting to wind down and back-to-school season is just around the corner. This week, I'm sharing the products my team actually bought to make the transition a little easier — from beach days and weekend getaways to meal prep and busy weekday routines. — Caitlyn Martyn, Commerce Editor
Pack for the beach now and weekday lunches later with backpack coolers, insulated lunch bags and reusable snack bags.
Stay hydrated from the pool to the classroom with water bottles from Owala, Contigo and Stanley.
Clean the car after road trips and school carpools with handheld vacuums, car trash cans and interior cleaners.

3 ITEMS WE BOUGHT THIS WEEK
Here are three products our team bought this week — and recommends.
Caitlyn Martyn, Commerce Editor: "My dentist said that Crest 3D Whitestrips work just as well as in-office whitening treatments, so I bought a pack of 44 to whiten my teeth before my fall wedding."
Nusrat Sultana, Commerce Editor: "This Innisfree sunscreen is white-cast-free, doesn't burn my eyes and is unscented. It absorbs into my skin without creating shine."
Moriba Cummings, Director of Commerce Content: "I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of classic men’s leather sandals for vacation and these sandals are comfortable, stylish and on sale."
