Promising review: "I can't think of a better 'top of the morning' expression than 'You've Got This!' That got my attention. Love the visual clock graphic too. I use a weekly planner and having daily pages available as needed are great. The layout is useful, not excessively detailed while still including all the important sections. It's aesthetically pleasing." —Wynelle

5. A Revlon dual hair dryer and brush here to simplify your "getting ready" routine and start your day off on the right foot. This hair dryer basically cuts your dry time in half because you aren't juggling between two hair tools at once. Plus, it's easy to use and gives you a salon-quality blowout in no time.
Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it working for them.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I can get ready in half the time spent drying and styling. It works better if you allow your hair to air dry a bit first, but I've also used it on just towel dried hair. I section off my hair & brush through.

Promising review: “I have gone through many pill organizers over the years and this set is by far my favorite! As someone who has to take 18 pills per day, the trays are big enough to hold all these huge pills and keep me organized. I fill two weeks at a time and they are so easy to load up. I was worried about these holding up to traveling in my pocketbook if I go out for a day, but they have held up well. It's just a genius way to hold all your pills and make sure you stay on track. Highly recommend!” —SammieMae

Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N.

Promising review: "I love my Echo Dot. It replaced a big radio/alarm and saves lots of space on my bedside table. The time is easy to read, but the light is not glaring. I have the alarm set to wake me up to one of my favorite songs, and that is a big mood booster. I usually ask for a weather report right away, and Alexa is the first voice I hear every morning." —ilovelabs

Promising review: "This was purchased for me as a Christmas gift from a coworker. I only recently started using it, as I've been dealing with some troubles in my life. I don't know what it is, but even if I repeat some of the same stuff...getting this done in the mornings (or sometimes at night if I don't make the time in the mornings) has made such a tremendous difference in my attitude toward myself and to others. So much so, that several people have taken notice. I have since purchased a couple of copies for friends who are also dealing with troubles in their lives. I highly recommend it. Even if you aren't dealing with any issues in life, it's such a help for clearing your head before starting your day." —Sumo

Even though this is a curl defining cream, I use this to moisturize my scalp, ends, and leave out curly hair in boho braids. I basically use this product for everything! I've completely stopped using oil, only using this product, and my hair has grown so much in a year. This product is a godsend, so if your hair is always dry no matter what you do this is the answer." —ParisZ

This robot vacuum features home mapping, which means it can navigate your space with ease and clean more efficiently. And if you hate emptying vacuum bins, good news: It self-empties after cleaning!
Promising review: "This is our second Shark robotic cleaner and this one is great. We have two shedding dogs, three cats, a toddler, and an 8-year-old. Lots of hair and crumbs and Daddy Shark gets it all! We have it timed to run early in the morning so we start with fresh floors every day. The suction is super (picked up a pairs of my reading glasses) and it returns to base to empty if it fills during the run and then continues to clean every inch. It took a few days for it to map out the rooms, but it covers every inch. Under the sofa, tables and beds, the Shark gets it all. You need to pick up small toys, etc. before it runs. Our first Shark cleaner is now cleaning the gym and playroom downstairs. I’m sure someday they will be able to climb stairs! It was pricey but worth every cent especially cleaning all the dogs' fur!"—Joey P.
