The Spa Girl Life Candles

What's to love: These candles offer a way to relax and take our minds off our worries. Or, as is it says on the candle, "A mini first aid kit for the soul."

What does it do: The candles come in black glass jars and are a wax blend of soy and coconut with a cotton wick. There are eight different scents, each offering aromatherapy benefits such as clarity, calm or relaxation. Each candle scent comes with a journal card, a suggested mantra for meditation and a specific crystal which the company says is "a fun and effective way to increase your awareness and aid you in your meditation practice." The candle kits sell for $39.99. To see what scents are available and to learn more visit thespagirllife.com.

Draft Top

What's to love: Beer cocktails are a thing. Just Google for recipes. At the lake, camping or by the pool and want to enjoy a one? Just make it in the can. The Draft top easily removes the top off of aluminum canned beverages such as soda or beer.

What does it do: The pocket-size device is placed on the top of the can. Push down and turn. As the Draft Top turns it cuts the lid under the inside rim, leaving the smooth rim in place. With the top open it is easy to add garnishes, ice, fruit slices or other liquids for a refreshing summer drink. Made in the USA, the Draft Top sells for $24.99. Find out more at drafttop.com.
