It comes with a bottle of cleaner, a scraper, and a cleaning pad.
Promising review: "I rarely write reviews unless something blows me away. I bought my house almost two years ago, and the cooktop has always been a bit dirty looking and it bugged me, but nothing I bought worked that well. I am so upset it took me so long to buy this product. My cooktop hasn’t looked this good, ever. I never thought I’d get it this clean and shiny, ever. I’ll admit it took a lot of elbow grease and time with the scraper to get the rings around the burners off. When I was done with that alone I was happy, and figured that was probably as good as it would get. Then I used the scrubber with the Cerama Bryte and it did wonders. When it got to the point of polishing with the paper towel, I was blown away. Check out the photos, it is night and day. I would recommend this product to anyone." —Lauren Langer
Get it from Amazon for $11.29.
Here's how it works: Find a node and peel away the bract to reveal the bud. Apply a small amount of the paste and in two to eight weeks, a clone will grow out of the node!
Promising review: "This product is just AMAZING!!! I waited a few months before writing this review because i wanted to test the product first. I am just AMAZED! I have to say...depending on the season and the place on the spike where you apply it, you either get a keiki or new flower spike (which is awesome!). Based on my experiments: the lower on the spike, the more chances to get a keiki. The higher on the spike, the more chances to get a new flower spike. If you apply it during winter (tropical area winter) you will more likely get flower spikes. If you apply it during summer (tropical areas) you will more likely get a keiki — at least that's what I observed!" —Anne-Isabelle Bonifassi

Luv Scrub is a Black woman-owned business, and its mesh cloth design is inspired by a traditional West African morning routine.
My coworker Marquaysa loves this:
"This baby makes the skin all over my body feel literally softer and smoother than it's EVER felt. Scrubbing with it also feels super soothing — like I'm using a body scrub minus the gritty mess leftover to rinse from the shower afterward. I also dig how fast it dries so I'm not putting a bacteria magnet on my skin each time I use it. Def get this if you wanna invest more into your body care/self-care routine. 30 outta 10, most def recommend." —Marquaysa Battle

Promising review: "These work exactly as described! Fungus gnats took to one of my indoor plants and these sticky sheets were an extremely easy and effective solution. They were also easy to cut to size, and the 20-pack left me with plenty of extras for future use." —Leah

Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry

Promising review: "This bronzer is absolutely perfect! The lightest shade, Flare, fits my skin color so good. It has a little shine in it, but not like glitter chunks, more of a natural shine. I was a little afraid the color would be too dark, but it is really buildable so you can add more or less to get your perfect shade. The package is cute and the wand is easy to handle. Love it!!" —Matilda K.

That is a first for me! I even did a quick workout and the jumping did not cause my hair clip to fall. If you are looking for a nice hair clip that will stay in place, these are perfect!" –Amanda Davis

I always utilize these with a facial serum or moisturizer to make hair removal on my sensitive skin less harsh. They're way more manageable to use than an actual razor and are incredibly satisfying to see how much peach fuzz comes off after each shave.
Promising review: "I love 💕 these little razors for all that peach 🍑 fuzz. My face looks so smooth now!!! They’re really easy to use. I had no idea there was such a product! My aesthetician used something similar on my face and I thought 💭 I can do that!! So glad I found it!" —Patti16

It also comes with an antimicrobial option to protect against harmful microbes that affect its lifespan so it'll last you a long time. Plus, it has two comfort layers so if you are sharing your bed, you won't be affected if the person next to you tosses and turns.
I am personally so incredibly SHOOK with the comfort of this mattress. I recently moved and started sleeping on this bad boy and I have ~never~ (and I mean never), liked squishier mattresses. I've always been very into firm mattresses but I don't think I've ever gotten a better night's sleep (my dog would probs agree with me), than on this mattress. What have I been doing all of these years with an awful, stiff, squeaky mattress? If you need a new mattress just get this one. I'm not going to tell you twice. It's so worth it and you won't be sorry. When my dog moves around, I don't feel him at all shaking the bed. It's truly magical and I can firmly say I am in love with a mattress — and it's this one from Tuft & Needle.
Promising review: "This mattress has cooling gel that keeps you cool at night and makes the mattress much softer. WE LOVE THIS MATTRESS.
The first night sleeping on this mattress, my husband and I woke up the next morning praising the mattress and how well we both slept. We were sick of being woken up every night every time one of us turned over. This bed does not transfer any motion. He is 230 pounds and I don’t feel anything when he turns over." —Rebecca B.
Get it from Amazon starting at $745 (available in twin–California king).
1daybeauty is a BIPOC-owned business whose mission is to create an all-inclusive beauty experience. They're based in Toronto, Canada.
All products are vegan and cruelty-free.
I recently saw an influencer I love (Dana Patterson) use this on her inner corners in an IGTV she posted and just HAD to have it. The way it shimmered and looked effortlessly gorgeous on her made me instantly hop over to their site to buy it. I am a sucker for anything shimmery I can add to my eyes and cheeks for a dewy look and this one is amazing. It isn't sticky, nor does it feel heavy, especially on the eyes. A little goes a long way so it is a makeup product must-have. (I'm wearing the bellini shade!)
Get it from 1daybeauty for $36 (available in five shades).
You use them dry! Just rub on the affected area and *poof* deodorant stains will be no more.
Promising review: "I’m honestly completely amazed. I have — no, I *had* tons of shirts with deodorant stains on the armpits. It was when my favorite black cashmere sweater got some really horrible ones which made it impossible to wear that I looked for a solution. This was that solution. Five or six swipes with one of these and it was gone. I can wear my sweater again!" —Morgan

Promising review: " This has proven to be a great product. It inflated without hesitation. Plug in, push button, and stand back. The bed does the rest. It has proven to be durable and able to accommodate over 250 pounds. It has been used daily since purchased in early November 2020. The price is a bit much for an inflatable twin bed, but thus far it has proven to be well worth it." —Sandy D.

Promising review: "These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide To Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again. You've got yourself a big fan, Tide." —NAD

It's super buildable and is vegan and cruelty-free.
This is an amazing lip product for summer. It's hydrating and not sticky (which is, in my opinion, the worst thing about glosses). I love applying a light coat and then blending it in with my finger so it isn't too shiny but it looks great without blending too. I find that in the summertime, regular lipsticks and liquid lippies can be way too drying so this balm is the perfect hybrid between lipstick and gloss. It has a gorgeous sheen that looks natural and healthy. You can even apply it on the high points of your cheeks for some glow and a pop of color (no need for blush!).
Get it from Glossier for $20.99 (available in nine shades).
