"This is the cast-iron I have, and it just lives on my stove top because I use it literally everyday. To clean, simply hand wash (I usually opt for no soap, but you do you) and rub with vegetable oil to keep it nice and seasoned." —Rachel Dunkel

"I originally bought this gum for a getaway that I knew included a road trip because I get carsick on long drives and didn't want to become a miserable little gnat as a result. Let me tell you, this gum saved not only me but also almost everyone on my trip. Whenever someone started feeling nauseated, they just popped a piece of gum in their mouth and felt relief within minutes. The ginger taste is light, but it's still effective. It's actually really yummy! I can't imagine how many times we would've had to pull over so someone could get some fresh air or even throw up during our almost five-hour drive had I not brought this gum along." —Jasmin Suknanan

"When I opened the package, I charged the camera for a bit until it was ready to go and followed the instructions for installing the printing paper. I've used instant cameras and the like before, but I thought the installation instructions were pretty clear and easy to follow even if someone had never used a similar camera. The booklet says you can download the Kodak 2-in-1 app on your phone so you can print photos that are already on your camera roll, so I downloaded the app and paired the camera to my phone using bluetooth to test out with some photos I took on a Labor Day trip to Rhode Island. Pairing the two was super easy with the instructions from the app. The app also lets you edit and customize the photos before printing. So no one photo, I added some text before printing, and the other I left blank.
They printed out beautifully!!!!! I also love that the photo paper is actually adhesive — you can just peel off the back and stick it anywhere. That's perfect for me since I actually keep a travel journal with photos and things from my trips — no glue or tape required to keep those pics in place. I can definitely see this being a bonus for anyone who loves journaling or scrapbooking and wants an easy way to hold onto their memories. Overall, I really thought it was fun to use. The photo quality is great, too. I've had instant cameras where the colors and brightness are diminished and it felt like a waste, but this is pretty vibrant." —Jasmin Suknanan

"When I couldn't fit all of my shoes on a shoe rack I purchased, I knew I needed another organizer, but didn't necessarily need a whole other shoe rack. What I did was put my 'bulkier' shoes like boots, running sneakers, etc., on the rack and then I put my 'less bulky' shoes like sandals into this clear pocket organizer (and then I put the shoes that I wear most often by the front door, hence why there is a missing pocket randomly in the middle of the picture above). I have a little extra pocket space remaining at the top, so I used it to store some additional jewelry like super long necklaces that were too long to hand on my jewelry tree. This was super easy to set up, and after seeing so many wonderful reviews about it, I'm glad I finally got one." —Sam Wieder
Get it from Amazon for $9.87 (available in three colors).
"When I tried this face mask I thought the DIY aspect was cool because they don't take up as much space in my beauty cabinet and it's honestly kind of fun! The mask is super easy to mix and apply. It left my face feeling nice and clean — not sticky or tight at all — and it barely has a scent." —Kayla Boyd

"Someone gifted me one of these many moons ago, and the utensils have held up for over four years! They're still as perfectly magnetized and functional as they were when they first arrived, and I barely ever notice them even though my counter space is approximately that of a lunch tray (wish I were kidding!!!)." —Emma Lord

"I've had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it's become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it's large enough to a good amount of food at once, it's easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I've been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you're cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don't get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don't mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there's no oil involved in the cooking — just air. We also tried making sesame chicken in the air fryer using boneless skinless chicken thighs. The sesame chicken tasted almost identical to my favorite Chinese takeout, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn't believe I made this at home!!"" —Hannah Loewentheil

"Cee Cee's Closet is a Black woman-owned business. The accessories are designed by founders Chioma and Uchenna Ngwudoand and then handmade by artisans in Nigeria.
I have a head wrap and it is so sturdy, yet super comfortable. It does an amazing job of staying in place and keeping my curly hair out of my face. They are 100% cotton and lightweight so you can wrap with ease. I love playing with the different ways to wear it. You can knot it, fold it up, tie it in a bow, etc. — there are so many fun ways to rock these!" —Kayla Boyd
Get them from Cee Cee's Closet for $15+ (available in three styles and TONS of prints).
"I bought this for myself and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually when my husband makes sauce from scratch I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom. My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer." —Heather Braga

"The sharpener comes with detailed instructions and actually fits in my knife drawer. When I first received it I ~excitedly~ gave it a go on a Rachael Ray knife (similar to these). It’s a pretty handy knife, but wasn’t what it used to be back in the day when I inherited it from a friend who left NYC in 2011. I set it on the edge of my cutting board and pulled it through the coarse notch three times, per the instructions. Even though mushrooms aren’t notorious for being tough to slice through, they’re oddly shaped and move around: with my newly sharpened knife, I was able to slice through them with no effort…even the stem! I also manhandled an onion and it was sooo easy slicing through the skin. So yeah, it's good. But there are tons of Amazon reviewers who have similarly lovey-dovey feelings about it too!" —Elizabeth Lilly

"The cleanser has benzoyl peroxide which is a key ingredient for drying up acne spots. Because of that, I don't use it every day. Instead, it's great to have in my collection of skincare products to pull out when I feel a breakout coming on or whenever I wake up to an unwelcomed pimple. Instead of using my regular cleanser, I use this one to help keep the breakout clean and speed up the healing process. When my face is clearer, I revert to my regular cleanser." —Marquaysa Battle
Get it from Target for $12.99.
"I use this after showers and it always makes my hair easy to comb. It also makes my ends look nice! It's so lightweight that it pretty much vanishes as soon as I put it in my hair, so my hair isn't oily and there's no residue left behind (love that). It also has a light citrus scent that's so lovely you'll be sad when it disappears (I know I always am)." —Nusrat Sultana
Get it from Sephora for $18.
"Nalgenes are light and so easy to carry around. Whether you're hiking, strolling through town, throwing one in your backpack, or just hanging around the house, they're a joy to bring along. The screw-top lids never fail and the BPA-free and dishwasher-safe plastic is nice and durable. I can admittedly be extremely clumsy and have yet to crack a 'gene." —Rachel Dunkel

"When my husband and I received our first set of 'real' pots and pans from our wedding registry, we knew we wanted to keep them in great condition for as long as possible. We bought a set of these immediately. It's great that they come in various sizes so you can nest your pots/pans inside each other without causing any damage." —Heather Braga

I love good denim but sadly, good denim is hard to find, particularly if you have an hourglass figure. Gaping waistbands and denim with no retention is actually the bane of my existence and I struggle (oh how I struggle) to find a pair of jeans that don’t suck. And while the journey was long, I have finally found them: the Madewell curvy jeans.
These jeans are thoughtfully designed with a contoured waistband (read my lips: no more gaping) and purposely have extra room in the asset and thigh region so that you won’t have to go up a size in order to get something that fits your legs but is just way too big on your waist. Just think: No more belts digging into your belly button! I’ve also washed and dried them a million times and they’re literally the exact same as they were the day I bought them.
Get them from Madewell for $69.50+ (available in sizes 24-37, petite, regular and tall lengths, and 16 colors).

"This is a game my friends have been playing at the beach since we were in high school — it's always been a big hit. The rules are quite simple: break into two pairs but position yourselves across from one another. Then all you have to do is aim your Frisbee toss at the 'kan.' If your teammate deflects the Frisbee to hit the kan, you get one point. If the disc hits the kan on its own, that is two points. If your teammate taps the Frisbee into the kan that's three points. If by some lucky chance you throw the disc RIGHT INTO THE SLOT, you win!" —Heather Braga

"I'm high-key obsessed with this sunscreen and can't stop hyping it up to anyone who will listen (which has only been my partner because we're quarantined together, and I think he's getting sick of me telling him about it over and over again). This stuff is soooo light; it absorbs into my skin fast and never feels sticky, which is important because I always wear a face mask when I go outside and I hate feeling my mask stick to my skin. It doesn't smell funky or leave a white cast. Seriously, it's the perfect sunscreen IMO." —Melanie Aman
Get it from Sephora for $39.
"I've been using this to workout at home, and I love it! There are tons of classes to choose from, and the instructors are great. Honestly, the biggest difference between this and my old Pure Barre classes is that I'm alone in my living room (which is probably for the best. I sweat...a lot). You can also use it for running, HIIT, strength-training, and cardio." —Emma McAnaw

"So, I JUST got a new puppy a few days ago — an adorable 8-week-old Havanese named Bailey. We're crate-training Bailey and the first two days were a bit rough for him. He would almost constantly whine/cry when in his crate, to the point that we were only getting about an hour of sleep. I had heard really great things about the Snuggle Puppy, so in a desperate attempt to ease Bailey's separation anxiety and make crate-training easier, as well as to save our sanity, we bought this stuffed toy, and let me tell you, it's made ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
The way it works, is you take this little red heart beat-like ticket, turn it on, and put it inside of the toy, Velcro it shut, and it's meant to make your pup feel as if they're not alone inside the crate. I was hesitant if this would work like I've seen so many reviewers say it worked for them, but it's blown my expectations out of the water. He loves being close to it when he rests in his crate (he also loves chewing it). Best of all, he slept the entire night and has just been so much more calm and happier in his crate. Also, you can opt to buy just the toy itself, or the kit which also comes with a chew toy, and a blanket. I bought the kit which I'm really glad about, because Bailey absolutely LOVES the toy that it came with. I truly cannot say enough good things about this." —Sam Wieder

"I have two of these, and love them! I actually got them because my curly hair was getting extremely knotted from tossing and turning. Anyone who has ever tried to brush thick, knotted hair knows it's *very* painful and that you lose a lot of hair from tugging and pulling. This pillow case really, really helps — my hair isn't knotted when I wake up, and it's actually less frizzy." —Emma McAnaw
Get it from Amazon for $89 (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
"This is my holy grail concealer! I love it so much that I'm always buying it before I run out because I seriously use it every time I put on makeup. Under eye bags? A pimple? Hyperpigmentation? I DON'T KNOW HER! This stuff seriously covers all my blemishes and it's super easy to apply. The formula is on the thicker side, but it blends wonderfully. It doesn't make you look cakey or leave creases. Plus, it's super convenient to carry around and apply on-the-go. This product is honestly worth the hype." —Kayla Boyd
Get it from Tarte Cosmetics for $27 (available in 30 shades).
"I recently had the pleasure of trying Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream for the first time and was blown away by how freakin' delicious it was. I personally like the dairy-free roasted peanut butter and strawberry jam pint (are you salivating yet?) but I don't doubt that every single concoction they've come up with will bring a smile to your face." —Heather Braga

"I'm telling you right now this stuff is legit. I have very pale lips and I just dab a little bit of this on and... BAM! It looks like my lips are naturally the perfect shade of rose without looking like I'm actually wearing anything on my lips! I've also completely replaced my blush with this stick." —Elena Garcia
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in six tints).
"When it comes to coffee drinks, I'm partial to a cappuccino. It's the perfect amount for me — I usually can't finish lattes or iced coffees. I've been making coffee at home for a while now and had trouble finding a reusable cup that wasn't gigantic. Enter, the MiiR tumbler. This lil' guy is the PERFECT size for an eight-ounce cappuccino. It's sleek, insulated, and durable — I've had mine for a couple of years now and it still looks new (I do hand wash it). Drinking coffee out of it brings me so much joy, almost as much as the caffeine itself. I highly recommend it, and if you prefer something a little bigger, it comes in larger sizes as well as various other models." —Yi Yang
Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in five sizes, from 6 oz. to 20 oz., and four colors).
"I own a black pair of these and they're seriously one of the comfiest sneakers I've ever worn (the other is this pair of New Balances) in my 28 years of life. The 'Cloudfoam' insole really does make it feel like your feet are walking on clouds. I thought that feeling might go away after several months of wear but the sneakers remain fluffy and relaxing. The sneakers were so comfortable that I started wearing them to the gym, to work, and even matching them with cute dresses for going-out looks. You'll probably want to order two pairs of these babies so you don't wear out a single pair after you fall in love. I bought my mom a pair as well." —Marquaysa Battle
Get them from Amazon for $44.87+ (available in sizes 5-12 and in four colors).
"These are perhaps the most beautifully designed and interesting set of wooden blocks that's I've ever encountered. I liked them so much I bought them way before my son would even be to use them. Having nearly failed my astronomy course in college, I figured this would be a great way for us to learn all about the constellations together as I pretend to know what I'm talking about. So when my kid asks, 'Dad, where is Orion's belt?' I won't have to answer, 'Around his waist.'" —John Mihaly

"I actually own these! I have this exact pair, in this very color, because I wanted a sturdy boot to go with my floral dresses this summer. These are a GIFT for people with sweaty feet. They're so lightweight and breathable I can wear them when it's hot out and still feel completely comfortable. It's grand." —Mallory Mower
