Promising review: "Due to COVID-19, I have been working from home since March 11. I write this on Aug. 25. My WFH setup is at my dining room table, and for the first few weeks I was sitting on a hard wooden dining chair, which positioned me a bit lower than ergonomically advisable. That just wasn't sustainable long-term. I knew this ComfiLife Seat Cushion was high-quality, because after a discectomy surgery a number of years back, I bought one for my office chair. ComfiLife has maintained it's quality control and is delivering consistent high-quality products." —Robert

Just push the square into your AirPod, peel it off, and enjoy the nastiness.
Promising review: "I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using cotton buds to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there's stuff built up and hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five minutes to clean each earbud effectively and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest giving this product. You don't need a full square to clean them, so you can pull a piece off or reuse a square with a side you haven't used! SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon Customer

This massager is everything I never knew I needed. I can feel it shaking every drop of tension out of my body. It's great. I only use this for about a minute on every muscle group, but it still makes a difference. Plus, the size makes it easy to store and carry.
Promising review: "I am pleasantly surprised (one might say shocked) by how well this little device does its job. I’ve been doing a lot of hiking in the past few months, and have unfortunately come to the conclusion that my muscle recovery time isn’t what it used to be. The Theragun Mini has been amazing for post-hike wind-down, and I don’t feel the icky next-day soreness nearly as much anymore. I haven’t tried percussive massagers but can say that the intensity and benefits are easily comparable to a regular in-person massage session. It's easy to hold/handle. Battery time is more than acceptable —it takes about an hour to fully charge, which gives about two hours of runtime. It's very quiet for how powerful it is. it’s high-pitched and kind of sounds like an electric toothbrush. It’s also really portable and comes with a soft protective case that I’ve also been storing it in. This is definitely a good introductory device into the world of percussive massagers. It has changed my well-being for the better." —Olga

Promising review: "No buyer's remorse here! I will buy this candle again and again and again... OMG! Love! I bought the Lilac Garden, wow, it smells amazing!! I bought due to us living in our RV after selling our home and waiting for weather to allow us to move up north. We have a few dogs in this small space, ugh, by golly, you walk in the door now and smell fresh-cut lilac, candle style. Most definitely will order again. I would gift it to a friend for sure — that's if I don't keep it for myself instead LOL!" —2XArmyDrills

One bottle can help keep you headache-free for up to 55 glasses depending on how many drops you use.
Promising review: "I drank wine one night and did not use the drops. WOW, my IBS hit me like a knife! This proves that they really do work. I wish I had an option to give this product 10 stars!!!! I have had IBS for several years and last fall my IBS went into overdrive, after trying to figure out what was possibly causing it I realized that I have been drinking more red wine then usual. I researched it and sulfates in wine are known to irritate people with IBS. I put five drops in a glass of wine and stir it with a spoon; it does not change the taste of the wine. My youngest daughter also has IBS. I had her try it and it also cured her sulfate issues. I thought that I would have to give up wine, but no more!!!" —Keywest

The device self-adjusts to fit pots from 6–12 inches in diameter and 3–9 inches in depth. The motor will stir for up to 13 hours per charge and then only takes 30 minutes to recharge.
Promising review: "I love this device. It will slave over the stove stirring your soups, sauces, and candies all day without a complaint or tiring. Now I cook things that I enjoyed serving and eat but hated all that stirring. No more burnt pots and ruined recipes due to under-stirring. It’s a little costly, but once you use it, you will never be without it. I may even buy another one to handle all of my stirring. This would also make a perfect gift." —Steve Bruss

Grace Eleyae is a small, Black woman-owned business that makes pillowcases, caps, and other hair accessories.
Promising review: "This is a great cap and the price is reasonable for the quality. I use mostly for night, but it's very stylish and can be worn out. Its a little big for my head so it sometimes slips a bit while I'm sleeping, but I don't like things too tight on my head so I don't mind. It's very comfortable. Sometimes my head gets a little warm with it on, but mostly fine. I noticed my hair was feeling more dried out sleeping on my regular pillow. This has helped my hair not feel so dry in the morning and smoother when I brush it. I used it on a trip recently where the humidity was very high and my hair didn't turn into a frizz ball like it usually does. Very pleased and have already given it as a gift." —Anonymous

Promising review: "Love my 40-year-old, 1-quart Stanley vacuum bottle, AKA thermos. The only problem, and I mean the only problem is 1-quart of hot chocolate doesn't go very far with a family of five. And who wants to lug and wash two of them? So I was excited to see this product that essentially doubles the capacity. After winter excursions where we come back to the car cold, this holds enough to make sure everyone gets plenty and warms right up. After hours in the car, the hot chocolate is tongue scorching hot. It has the same Stanley quality and durability as my classic, smaller model. This really is perfect. And you don't have to pay jacked up prices for the snow monster name. Stanley thermoses have been around generations, for a good reason." —John

The brush is retractable and totally soft.
Here's what my colleague had to say:
"I have this at my desk and love it! It has a microfiber tip on one side and the WORLD'S SOFTEST retractable bristles on the other. Like, I use this thing more as a fidget toy and for petting the bristles than for cleaning. My laptop is so gross that it's a little past hope, but this has tools have definitely helped make clearing out crumbs and erasing smudges easier and cleaning my computer more fun. It's extra handy for the rest of my desk and swiping away post-lunch debris!" —Katy Herman, Buzzfeed Shopping Editor

Promising review: "Seriously the coolest thing I've ever bought on Amazon. I live in Southwest Georgia and we get severe storms, tornadoes, tropical storms and even hurricanes. Power getting knocked out is a common issue. I bought the 2 pack and it is exactly as advertised and I wish I had known about these sooner.

Promising review: "Bought these to put on the back of the guest bathroom due to lack of towel racks in our rental apartment. My family who stayed for five weeks used it every day to hang the large bath towels and it works well. It's also much nicer looking than white or clear plastic and love the large size for bath size towels and robes." —Olivia

Promising review: "I was skeptical about this little rubber strainer, but I needed something to save my drains from the piles of hair that fall out of my head. I tried others and they all failed miserably. This thing is amazing! It fit into my standard drain perfectly, and I don't think a single hair slipped by it. It was pretty gross to see how much hair I lost in just one shower, but it was comforting to know it wasn't clogging my drain. Cleanup is super easy, too. I just took a tissue and wiped it from top to bottom, grabbing all the hair as the soft rubber strainer released it all easily. Not a hair was caught in it. Best strainer I've ever had. I strongly recommend it!!!" —Lawyer For Justice

Promising review: "Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. Plumber even said I need an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don't sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and shower that all match so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing. Stuffed it down, pulled up hair, and black muck. Did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, went right down the drain. Seriously. This is the best tool ever and the best $12 I have ever spent. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously." —juliejules

Promising review: "I purchased these wipes to clean my stainless-steel refrigerator. I wanted something that would remove water stains and restore the shine, and these wipes delivered! After a few minutes of vigorously wiping back and forth along the grain, my refrigerator was looking brand-new. I was impressed with the results and noticed that the canister said the wipes could be used on sinks, so I tried one in my stainless-steel sink to see what would happen. As you can see from the pictures (above), after just a few minutes of cleaning, my sink was sparkling and incredible! I began cleaning all of the stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, and just a few wipes and 20 minutes later my kitchen was looking better than ever." —Connor

Within 24–48 hours all odors are gone and it just smells clean and fresh (reminds me of Dasani water?). Love the linen packages, makes this look less 'industrial' and blend in better. They come in a three-pack, one is saved and stored in a sealed plastic bag, for later use." —Ellen

Promising review: "I really was hesitant to try this but I decided I would take the plunge anyways and I have to say after using it for a few weeks now I'm pleasantly surprised! My hair is so soft and shiny and lightweight! I love how bouncy it is after using this plus it smells amazing. Not vinegar-y at all. My daughter has been using this as well for her oily hair and dandruff (after trying tons of super-expensive salon products) and so far this is the only thing that has been working for her! Her dandruff is gone and her hair is noticeable less oily by the end of the day. We will definitely be buying more." —kindlemom1
Promising review: "I've now used this combo twice. The first time...I immediately noticed extreme softness, but not much else. The second time, I applied it exactly as indicated....and I'M AMAZED by the difference in my hair. My thick 4c hair was light...BOUNCY...smooth...no frizz anywhere...and silky soft and shiny. Wow!!! Before I bought this, I was just using apple cider vinegar and water for a final rinse...but THIS STUFF is the holy grail. I actually used the shampoo twice in one week...and my hair isn't dried out. Instead, my hair is moisturized...soft...and beautiful. I will be purchasing this combo on a regular basis." —Karla Harley

Promising review: "This thing is excellent. I just 'repaired' two cashmere sweaters and one modal-blend jersey top to like-new condition. The waste compartment fills up quickly and will start clogging the blades if not emptied frequently. I will share one trick I found for emptying the area around the blades. Remove the waste compartment and hold the unit vertically over a garbage can while turning the defuzzer on. Blades will spin and the rest of the pills will fall out. Enjoy." —Fine Print Reader

This liquid fertilizer is basic, but it's the truth. Think of it as a vitamin supplement for your plants. The key is diluting it with your water instead of putting it directly on the soil. Never use fertilizer on dry soil, you'll burn the roots. I use this for my ferns, monsteras, philodendrons, alocasias, snake plants, and alocasias.
Promising review: "Great product for houseplants. I have been using all of the Miracle-Gro products for years and have never been disappointed. I purchased this product for the first time several years ago when I purchased a ficus tree that was planted as a fairy garden in a broken urn. I knew it didn't have enough soil probably to support the tree in the long run. I have had this plant for 6 years now and it is lush and beautiful. This product and weekly watering is all that I have used." —Gayle Zachariasen

Promising review: "I am enthusiastically writing a review for this product. Why? This product has, with little expense helped reduce my number one craving for my favorite simple carb, PASTA. Who knew I liked zucchini so much. The Veggetti is a simple, well-constructed product for what it was made for. When I prepare a zucchini or squash, I only need to trim the very tip off the end. I leave the stem on unless its very long because the stem provides a sturdy place for the end cap. Very minimal waste this way. By the way, the center that comes out the end is mostly seeds, which provide almost no nutritional value. A couple of tips I found is, instead of cutting the length of strips coming out with scissors every 10 inches or so, I just reverse directions every 10 clockwise turns. This will cut the strips at this point without much interruption. Also, when cleaning, i don't let it sit to get dry. Instead after each use I rinse it out at the faucet. If anything is stuck in the cutters, I use my faucets power spray feature which unclogs anything the faucet can't get. If you don't have a power spray then try a toothbrush." —JLA

Promising review: "Holy peel! These work great — just the same as the more expensive ones you see out there. When I put the bags on my feet, I actually put a pair of socks over them. That helps to make sure the solution is touching all parts of my feet and really doing its work. Within about five days, my whole foot looked like it was dipped in acid and is coming off. It's super gross shedding for about a week, but then silky smooth after. It's definitely worth the flakes." —Megan Pinnell

Promising review: "I am crazy about these. I've had them for years and use them as a TV stand and leave one vertical piece out so I have a spot for my Blu-Ray player and DVR. It's still nice and sturdy. The fabric drawers never hold up well for me, but I have cats that think these are here for their claw-sharpening needs, so that shortens their lifespan dramatically (of the drawers, not my cats!). I finally came up with a solution and made drawer 'fronts' with extra peel-n-stick vinyl floor tiles I had, some decorative heavy-duty paper and some knobs. I just attach them via the knobs to the front of the fabric drawers and voila. The cats leave them alone and I love love love how it looks. Now the front stays nice and straight even when the fabric drawer behind it is bloated and warped. My DIY artsy-fartsy crafty side is loving how customizable these can be. So many ideas! My TV weighs 67 lbs and these have no problem supporting it. I do recommend securing them to the wall especially if you're in an earthquake-prone place like me. I have about four of these throughout my home. They are amazing space-savers. I get compliments on them all the time and can't recommend them enough." —messy

I love this box because it's large enough to hold my surge protector and some small electronic devices. After taking this picture, I moved it under my bed.

If you don't need the lifting mechanism in the more expensive beds, in other words, if you can lift the bed up yourself or with a partner this is a great option. Also, the directions and the video are so easy to follow, anyone can put this together easily in one day. I would recommend this bed to anyone looking for an affordable wall bed.

I put this bed together on a whim since it's supposed to be easy to assemble. For the price, I figured I should be able to put it together at 8 PM with my two remaining brain cells. It took me no more than 20 minutes to build the bed. No cap. For the record, I’m about 5’6 and not amazing with tools. The bed is so gorgeous. I love that it’s made of real wood and not particle board. By far, the most difficult part was taking apart my recycled IKEA bed. That dissembling process made me appreciate how much Thuma’s bed truly prioritizes the user’s experience. Although it costs a month’s rent, the bed is definitely a solid investment. Plus, Thuma has Affirm to lessen the initial financial blow. I have no notes and no critiques because putting this couldn’t have been any easier. If the company released a bag or case to protect the wood/pillow board during moves, I would buy it.
