I recently bought my new puppy Suzie this spooky chew toy from Pet Smart’s Disney Villain-themed dog toy line. What can I say? I love Halloween and I love Disney. The toy is super durable, which is great considering Suzie loves to destroy everything. It’s also apple scented, which has Suzie and I both ready for fall. — Morgan Greenwald, senior SEO editor

I recently attended a very rustic wedding in rural Maine where I was assigned a cabin with no electricity, no air conditioning, and believe it or not, no bathroom (yes reader, I had to use an outhouse). Thank god I had my portable 5-inch Treva fan. The simple, battery-powered fan has two speeds and a simple fold-down design that it can stand on its own or lay flat in its suitcase. It kept me as cool as possible while I slept with the spiders in the top bunk, and I brought it into the outhouse with me to blow away any bloodthirsty mosquitoes. — Christina Colizza, editor
