Promising review: "This product is exactly what I needed to finally get the stink out of my beloved 6-year-old leather Birkenstocks. They had gotten to the point where they were so smelly that I stopped wearing them for a year and when I went back to them, they were just as bad as before. I decided enough was enough and went to try and de-stink them. I washed them, sprayed them with vinegar, tea tree oil, sage oil, and seaweed oil, and then let them sit in an anti-fungal powder overnight. They were much better, but not quite back to wearable.
Finally, I tried the Lumi Shoe Spray and let them dry in the sun, and for good measure, I used the Lumi Powder and let it sit overnight once they had dried off. Not only did it take the old, smelly Birkenstock sandals the final mile of deodorizing, leaving them stink-free, but it went the extra mile and left them smelling fresh. I wish I had this back when I was living in a dorm." —Colin

Promising review: "After running Eufy for nearly two months now, I can confidently say I absolutely LOVE it! It is amazing on my hardwood floors. It picks up sooo much fine dust brought in by my two German shepherds! They shed year-round! And it’s super effective with pet hair! Wow! I use Eufy once a day for a little more than hour, emptying and cleaning the brushes out about three to four times during use. It seriously has been life-changing, keeping my floors cleaner than sweeping! Great purchase and I would highly recommend!!" —Jacqueline M

Promising review: "I ordered this for my smokin' hot GF back in 2012. Fast forward three years later and this $20 wine opener is still with me and my smokin' hot GF is now my smokin' hot wife. I never thought either one would be with me for this long...but life is good. We like to have a good time...I mean...we effin' get down on some wine. So this bad boy probably pops open a new bottle every two days. It has stayed plugged in to our wall for over three years now (I halfway expected the battery would have burned out by now, but nope!). We haven't even had to replace the screw yet — still works like new — I'm shocked and impressed this $20 opener has faithfully lasted this long." —DaveyG

Promising review: "The things I reach for most often and easily the most versatile tools in my kitchen are Food52's Airtight Silicone Lids. They come in a pack of five varied sizes that are prepared to take on almost any task. They're heat-safe to 550 degrees, are BPA- and BPS-free, can be used in the freezer and the microwave, and are dishwasher-safe, so no matter the job, they're up for it. They also fit inside one another, making them super easy to store! The lids are perfect to use on the stove. I know at my house, it can feel impossible to find the matching lid to every pot and pan, and some don't even have one to begin with, so these come majorly in handy for stove top covering in a pinch. And if you're looking for the perfect substitute for plastic wrap, these lids were made for you. I use them to cover half-empty cans, bowls of dough, containers of leftovers, or anything else that needs to be nestled safely in the fridge. The lids are *seriously* airtight. I can pick up a heavy bowl of cookie dough with just the handle from this light lid! This means they're great for tasks that require a true seal, like letting bread dough rise overnight. I cannot sing the praises of these well-designed wonders enough." —Rachel Dunkel (also check out her full review of these silicone lids)

Promising review: "I have thick 4c hair and I love this set. I usually have the smaller rods at the ends of my hair and have the bigger rods at the top of my hair. My hair came out so curly. It really reminded me of movie-star curls because it has been such a long time since I have seen my hair curl without having to use heat to it. I will either use a curling cream or a curling gel and leave the rods in overnight and then I get my curls in the morning." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This product has been a MIRACLE for my skin. I have had three psoriasis patches on my elbows and behind one ear for over 14 years. I have tried dozens of different things to keep it under control. NOTHING even remotely handled it until this product. Within four days you can hardly see that I even have a grapefruit sized area of psoriasis on each elbow. No flaky skin. No redness. And the most important of all — it no longer itches! THANK YOU!" —James Butchart

Promising review: "I can honestly say I was shocked to find this little gem, especially for the price. I have used it daily since it arrived at my doorstep. I’ve been taking it back and forth from home to work, but I will Instead buy a second one, and most likely a couple more as gifts." —Helen Quigley

Promising review: "I decided to purchase this item for my dorm to provide a little extra privacy and was worried it wouldn’t fit the XL Twin bed that most universities provide (5 inches longer than typical twin bed). YES THIS DOES FIT AN XL TWIN. So far, it has been very cozy and great for when I need to stay up late without bothering my roommate. They also sent a string of battery-powered lights with clips that make it very cute. I use them in place of a lamp when I am trying to finish up assignments after work and my roommate is sleeping.
Great investment for college students!" —Savannah

Promising review: "If I could give this more stars I would!!! I am the worst cook in history. My poor children, it's so bad I have a rule — if I can't eat it, we order pizza. Which happens quite a lot in my house. Until I got this amazing invention! I've had it for about two weeks now and all I can say is Oh. MY. GOD! Why am I just now finding out about this? When I did cook, one of the best meals I used to make was chicken tikka, it would take me three hours or more and I'd have 300 dishes to do after. So I stopped making it. So I bought the Instant Pot and now my chicken tikka is done in half the time!! And I only have one pot to clean!!!! I can't say anything negative about this bad boy. I'll never cook on my stove again!!!!" —Krystal B.

I definitely recommend this top. I am lacking in the chest area so it did sit away from my chest a little but I was still able to wear for my event." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS COAT! I am from Texas and went to NYC and Buffalo, New York during December because I wanted to see the snow but I was scared that I was going to die from the cold. This coat was so warm! I was wearing a light Nike hoodie under. But still it made the trip so fun where I could enjoy the snow! The hood was so big it made it easy to walk in the snow because it protected my face. I believe how warm it was in this coat. And all the pockets made it easy for me to travel with just a carry on. The pockets are huge, which is a bonus." —sarah

Promising review: "Cleaned the patio, the gutters, and the back fence in about three hours! For the patio and fence, it proves to be most effective to spray off all of the debris, soap it (don't forget to use the soap nozzle), then do a final close-up spray. We had a garden party the next day and everyone mentioned how nice and clean the patio was! We are under four large pine trees and often get debris and moss. Also, cleaning the gutters has never been so quick! It took about 20 minutes to entirely clean them out." —TaylorCurry

Promising review: "I have two boys, ages 10 and 11, who love this claw machine. I buy small candy bars (mini, not fun size) and gummies because the claw won't pick up/carry bigger pieces of candy because it's too heavy. My kids placed a shortened wooden skewer in the slot and use it as a lever to activate it instead of using the coins. It was a great buy!" —C.F.

"If you're reading this, there is a 100% chance you drink water, which means you're probably in need of a vessel in which to carry water to-and-fro. Great news! I'm tried give or take one bazillion water bottle brands and am ready to announce my favorite. Drumroll please........It's the Nalgene!!!!!! 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.
They come in a ton of sizes, colors, and weights, so there is truly a Nalgene for everyone. Feelin' mega-thirsty? Try this mondo one. Need a light bottle for backpacking? Here's a Nalgene *just* for that purpose. Simply want something cute? Look at these adorable bottles below! 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. Metal bottles have their place. So do glass ones! Reducing disposable plastic waste is really the end goal, so get there how you want. But for an all-purpose, go-to bottle at an unbeatable price? I'd be remiss not to recommend the Nalgene!" —Rachel Dunkel

Promising review: "I've tried everything on my Australian shepherd's paws. He licks his paws when they get dry which makes them drier. The vet told me to use coconut oil, he just licked that off. I don't think he liked the taste of the Paw Butter so he left it on and by the next morning, I saw a significant improvement." —C. Castro

Promising review: "Love this mascara! I’ve used the 'best of the best' designer, super hyped, ultra popular mascara available and NOTHING compares to this stuff! I don’t even bother using a lash curler anymore! I buy two at a time so I always have a spare (yes, it’s that good!!). I highly recommend this particular mascara...it goes on effortlessly, it lasts pretty much all day, and the price — I feel like I’m almost stealing it! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!!" —chulaboola

While you're in that extra deep bath, you might as well go all out and add some bubbles.
Promising review: "I love this stuff soooo much. I have had some rash issues on my fingers ever since I got a full body rash from Downy Unstopables (the worst product ever!!) and had to take prednisone to get rid of it. Ever since I started regularly soaking in the tub with this, I have had hardly any flareups. Something about the ingredients in this particular combination makes my skin sing. Plus, it smells amazing and provides top-notch bubbles. Worth every penny."—Sarah

Promising review: "This window film is just STUNNING! I used it for the bottom half of my windows on my main floor for added privacy, so I don’t always have to keep my curtains closed! I wasn’t expecting all the beautiful colors the film presents throughout the day. It’s like having crystal prisms all over the house and it changes from minute to minute!

It takes up approximately zero space and can be used over and over, all while being the price of about one trip to a salon.
"This comes with everything you need for your very first at-home gel manicure, including gel remover and a cuticle stick. In addition to the cuticle stick and 10 gel remover pouches, you'll also receive an LED lamp that looks like a cute, 'lil macaron, a USB cord that connects to your laptop to power the lamp, a nail file, a set of instructions, and a gel polish color that matches the color of the lamp (cuuuuute). I wasn't totally feeling the pink nail polish that week, so I ordered another bottle of their nail polish in gray. The lamp is designed to automatically shut off after 30 seconds, so you don't need to count yourself! Thirty seconds later and I was EXTREMELY impressed. I rubbed my finger against my nail, expecting the polish to just smudge off, BUT. IT. DIDN'T. It was fully dried and had a really nice shine to it. Y'all, I'm not even exaggerating when I say that it took me less than 10 minutes to paint AND fully dry the nails on the rest of my hand. But the ultimate test was when I decided to see how well my mani would hold up after 14 days of wear. No chips!!!! I could see my nails beginning to grow out, which didn't bother me. Honestly, I'm looking back on all the moments when I let myself wear chipped nail polish because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of re-painting and waiting for them to dry and I AM SHAKING MY DAMN HEAD." —Jasmin Suknanan (check out her full Le Mini Macaron review)

Promising review: "This is a new product for me, and I'm already hooked! I love a good vitamin C serum and this is one of the best I've tried. It doesn't have the off-putting smell that some serums have and it doesn't feel tacky when it dries. It layers flawlessly under any moisturizer I've used and I can already tell it's working on getting my complexion nice and smooth after I took a long break from using any skincare at all. Hyper Skin is also a Black woman-owned company! I could not recommend supporting them and trying this product enough. " —Rachel Dunkel

Promising review: "This desk has upgraded my work from home life so drastically I can hardly remember life without it (pretty sure I've blacked out those work-from-bed days). I got the filing shelf to hold all my favorite spooky books, the dry erase panel for taking quick notes, and a headphone hook. It doesn't take up floor space (a need in my tiny apartment) and it even has a charging dock available with extra outlets for USB cords and standard plugs, so you don't have to hunt around your house for extra outlet space. The adjustable shelves are simple to set up and super satisfying. Plus it's pretty...dang pretty." —Mal Mower
