I don't know about you, but I have a love-hate relationship with this time of year. On the one hand, I appreciate the sun staying out past 8 p.m., but on the other, I'd be thrilled if I never heard the word "humidity" ever again. And while it's nice that it's warm enough for swimming, the thought of dealing with sand at the beach (and dragging it into my house) makes me a pool person through and through. Of course, there will be humidity, sand and other summer woes this season, and rather than complaining about them, I'm vowing to handle them with as much grace as I can muster. Luckily, some of the best deals I've spotted today will help me out.
A hack for combating humidity? Having a cold beverage on hand at all times, and this stylish Stanley cup — a rare 40% off — will keep my drinks chilled for hours. As for sand? Storing a powerful handvac in the car means those specks will be zapped up in a flash, and my beloved Craftsman is a record-low $59 (down from $100). Oh, and speaking of the beach, if I must go, I might as well schlep my shore essentials in this bestselling tote, also an all-time low at $23 off.
Here's to a summer of making lemonade out of lemons. Oh, and now I know what I'll be filling that aforementioned Stanley with...
This is the very handvac I use at home, and let me tell you — it's so much more powerful than its lightweight feel would imply. Is it bulkier than some of the other hand vacuums out there? Yes, but that's to be expected, given its industrial-strength performance. That said, it's portable enough to bring from room to room without it feeling like a workout, and that's all I can ask for. Well, that and an incredible price — and this one is a record low. Bonus: You don't have to purchase the battery and charger separately.

If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At just $99, this pair is down to the best price I've seen. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.
Psst: Apple AirPods Pro are also on sale, FYI.

Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini says, "If you're looking for an instant (if temporary) tightening fix with dramatic results, this is the product for you. In under three minutes, this insanely effective cream not only tightens undereye bags but smooths, depuffs and firms the skin in the entire eye area, blurring fine lines, crow's feet and even deep wrinkles for at least a few hours. It's gone viral several times over for a reason: This product actually works.
"The application can be exacting — it's best to use a makeup brush or cotton swab and apply an ultra-thin layer; if not, it looks like a crusty mess. But, once you get the amount right, the proprietary skin tightening mix (with an assist from retinyl palmitate and vitamins B and C) delivers incredible results."
Also incredible? This stuff hardly ever goes on sale, but you can save $6 if you act fast.

Ah, yes, the coveted Stanley cup. These bad boys rarely go on sale (they don't really need to), but this sought-after sipper happens to be 40% off. It's got a built-in straw and keeps cold drinks cold for up to nine hours (40 hours if they're iced). Plus, its tapered bottom will fit right in your car's cup holder.

The only thing better than scoring a stylish, versatile handbag on sale? When it's from Michael Kors and over 80% off. Yes, such a unicorn exists, and according to Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart, this one's an "organizational wonder with its back and front slip pockets, spacious main compartment and several zippered pockets to keep all your stuff safe and sound." She adds, "There's a gold-toned chain attached to the front zipper that makes it feel fashion-forward, and the strap is adjustable, so you can wear it like a traditional crossbody or as a shoulder bag."
Ready to transform your blow-drying experience without shelling out for a pricey Dyson? Reviewers say this sleek styler is a comparable alternative for a fraction of the price. It quickly dries hair without harsh heat to leave you with silkier, stronger strands and comes with attachments for smoothing, styling and diffusing. Oh, and this price is within two dollars of its lowest yet.
If you've had one of these bad boys on your wishlist for a while, I'd urge you to scoop up this deal while you can. Why? Well, the discount brings this top-selling model down to one of its best prices ever (it's only dipped lower twice). Roomba and robovacs are pretty much synonymous at this point, and the fact that this one doubles as a mop makes the 43% markdown even sweeter.

Has the Bogg Bag made it onto your radar yet? If this is the first you're hearing of it, know that the trending tote has become a hot-ticket item thanks to its versatility (use it as a beach bag or for schlepping groceries) and durability (it's made of a sturdy, waterproof material that keeps it upright). It's also $90, but Amazon shoppers say this No. 1 bestselling lookalike, which is down to an all-time low, is a fab alternative at nearly half the price.

Need some new swimwear? This stylish suit looks like a million bucks (but costs just $20). "Made from a stretchy, ultra-comfortable material that will hug your curves in all the right places, this one-piece has full-coverage in the rear and adjustable straps so that you can customize the fit," says Carhart. "The ruching is incredibly slimming, and the peek-a-boo cut-out under the bust shows a hint of skin."
It's currently marked down in every color and has only dipped lower by $1 all year.
Brooklinen says these sheets are the brand's "No. 1 fan favorite," and it's easy to see why. The 100% cotton sateen instantly elevates bedtime with its luxuriously soft, smooth texture, and according to the brand, it's ideal for year-round comfort. This set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases, all for nearly its lowest price all year.
