These days, I only take long trips that require packing a suitcase about once a year. Because of that, I don’t spend much time looking at the luggage in my house, and when the time comes once again to lug them out and pack them up, it dawns on me. Oh, right: My suitcases are all pretty old. And aside from one teal-hued hard-shell roller, they’re all plain black. This becomes especially apparent at baggage claim, when I’m squinting at a sea of monochrome rectangles and feeling jealous of any pops of color I see.
As much as I’d like to treat myself to a luggage refresh, quality travel suitcases can be quite pricey. So, when I hear about luggage that looks nice, performs well, and won’t totally break the bank, I pay attention — and the latest brand to join the affordable suitcase game comes from none other than Drew Barrymore, who just dropped a collection of hardside luggage that’s simply, well, beautiful.
What Is the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Luggage Collection?
Founded by the eponymous actress, Beautiful by Drew Barrymore originally came on the scene as a cookware brand. The brand has since expanded substantially; it now sells furniture, home decor, bedding, pet products, and now, lucky for me, luggage.
Beautiful’s first luggage collection is available at Walmart and consists of three different hardshell rolling suitcases with retractable handles. There’s a 20-inch carry-on suitcase and two suitcases (one 24-inch and one 28-inch) that are meant to be checked.
Shoppers can choose from three elegant colors — Porcini Taupe, Rose Pink, and Starry Night — but no matter what shade or size you go with, the interior of each suitcase prioritizes organization, containing “two compression straps, two expandable pockets perfect for shoes, two open pockets, and two zippered pockets for organized packing.” This is perfect for holiday travel — bringing back new gifts and dirty laundry can pose quite the conundrum — but also just regular weekend trips.
What Makes Beautiful By Drew Barrymore Luggage So Great
A celebrity-fronted brand could easily hike up its prices. However, the cost of Barrymore’s luggage line is actually quite reasonable, especially for pieces that will look chic and distinct coming down the carousel at baggage claim. (For comparison, a 28-inch checked bag from Samsonite retails for $149.99, while Beautiful’s is $109.)
The available colors are also quite nice to look at, and a lifetime of dark, drab suitcases makes me really appreciate the lighter shades and playful interior print. Plus, since you can get the whole three-piece set for under $300, it feels feasible to get one in each size for a true luggage refresh. Make your travels a bit easier by getting each one in the same color, or switch things up and try one of each shade. Hey, it might even get you excited about packing.

As wonderful as living room TVs can be for movie nights and Netflix binges, there’s no denying that they can sometimes be the lone eyesore in an otherwise stylish space. Therefore, it’s no surprise that clever ways to temporarily hide televisions have become more and more popular in recent years — just look at the viral Samsung Frame TV, which conspicuously resembles a piece of art when it’s not in use.
But if you’re not in the market for a brand-new TV, there are plenty of other ways to hide yours. In fact, you might want to copy a simple DIY hack shared by the one and only Drew Barrymore.

If you follow the A-lister, you may have been following Barrymore’s M/BODY 10-day challenge. On the first day of the challenge, she shared a candid video addressing her audience, complete with a TV behind her that seemed to be accented by a piece of hanging wall art.
But when Barrymore shared another video from the same spot a few days later, the TV appeared to have disappeared. But look closer, and it seems like the entrepreneur has simply obscured her television from view via another expertly placed art piece.
If you’re eager to learn more about Barrymore’s simple trick for hiding her TV, you’ll have to scroll back a little further, to a 2019 post where she explained the process.
“I absolutely love watching TV in the bedroom, however, I don’t love the look of a plasma screen on the wall,” Barrymore wrote. “It takes away from the femininity of the room… so I went on Etsy and ordered a hanging piece of art and did a home hack and when I’m done with my TV I just hide it behind it.”

As a former pastry chef, I rely on my stand mixer more than most, and the resident mixer on my kitchen counter is my beloved KitchenAid. Back when I had my small business, that thing got me through long nights of kneading doughnut dough, and now it serves as my trusted helper for daily cookies and special birthday cakes alike. But because I’ve been planning a move that will have me splitting my time between two places, I realized that I needed a second mixer! Unfortunately, after looking at KitchenAid’s high price tag, I was thinking I might just have to resort to my old hand-mixing ways… that is, until I took the Beautiful Tilt-Head Stand Mixer for a whirl.
Now, I want to be clear, I love (and will always love) my KitchenAid. Nothing will ever change that. But what did change after using my Beautiful was my uppity attitude about other brands of stand mixers. As it turns out, the Beautiful ticked off all the right stand-mixer boxes. After an hours-long baking bonanza (three different buttercream flavors and an angel food cake), I was convinced that Drew Barrymore really knows her way around a baker’s needs and wants when it comes to machinery!
The Beautiful mixer withstood eight minutes of beating, followed by 14 minutes of whipping (my key to super-fluffy buttercream), seamlessly accelerating as I adjusted the 10-speed dial. Easily accessible on the right side of the mixer, the dial is extremely precise in its wide range of speeds. The first setting turns the paddle slowly enough to add in M&M’s without crushing them or to evenly disperse nuts and chocolate without overmixing. The highest speed is, well, speedy. Fast enough to whip cream in just three minutes, in fact.
The mixer is lightweight enough for me to effortlessly carry around my kitchen, and I can easily stash it away in a cabinet without worrying about pulling my back every time a brownie craving comes a-callin’. But unlike other plastic appliances that rock or slide their way across the countertop, the Beautiful mixer has suction cups on the bottom to keep it in place. This mixer doesn’t move an inch, even when I lazily threw a couple of cold blocks of butter in it (which I don’t recommend — you should always soften your butter first!).
Unlike the KitchenAid lever, the tilt-head on this machine is operated with the press of a button. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical (my hand kept reaching for an imaginary lever that wasn’t there), but I was won over in minutes: A simple press of the button and the head lifts on its own, and like the rest of the machine, wiping down the button with a wet cloth was all I needed to reinstate its brand-newness.
The Beautiful Tilt-Head Stand Mixer comes with a paddle, dough hook, and whisk attachment, so I can tackle literally any baked good. There’s also an included a splash guard, which covers all 360 degrees of the bowl. In other words, not even a single drop (of milk, butter, flour, you name it) will make its way onto the countertop when you’re using the thing. Each accessory, including the large-capacity stainless steel bowl, is BPA free and dishwasher safe.
And don’t let me forget to mention its good looks! Aptly named, the Beautiful is modern, with rounded features and a streamlined look. All five matte, sophisticated hues (I have Cornflower Blue) are equally stunning IMO, and would make a gorgeous addition to your kitchen. It’s virtually impossible to believe a machine this eye-catching (and good at its job) is just $130. Thanks, Drew!
