Promising review: "This is one of the best Amazon purchases I have ever made. It did stop working a few months after I bought it, but I opened it up and added a drop of mineral oil to the fan and it started working again. I cant sleep without this. It has made a huge change in my quality of sleep. It's worth every penny." —Moxie

Promising review: "I was originally looking for silk pillowcases, but decided to give these a try because they were a better price. I am not disappointed! I have seen a noticeable difference in my hair in the mornings and overall they are so smooth and comfortable to sleep on. I’ve washed them several times and haven’t seen a difference in the quality. I would buy again." —Kate

It is infused with temperature regulating gel beads that absorb and re-distribute heat so that you are not overheating throughout the night!
Promising review: "So impressed and pleased with this purchase. It truly just melts against you when you lay down and made my tired, firm, old Ikea mattress feel like a fancy new bed. It always puffs back up immediately when you move or get up so you never feel like you're laying in a deflated indent. For this price you can't beat the quality of this topper! All the others I looked at seemed much more expensive. Best purchase I think I've ever made." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I had never tried a jade roller prior to this and I am really glad I picked this one up. It is so nice and soothing on the skin, and the gua sha stone is lovely for easing tension in my shoulders. The roller itself stays relatively cool in the cold/winter months even without putting it in the fridge, and my skin feels a lot looser and tension free after using it in the mornings. I would highly recommend it." —coffeescripting

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: "I love this tray. I actually just ordered a second one for myself. It folds down completely, so it is easy to store when it is not being used. It is the perfect size! It fits my laptop wonderfully, and it is so convent to have a mouse pad already built in so you do not have to worry about extra bulk. The little cutouts for your tablet and phone come in handy. I use this for my schoolwork and it is very handy to be able to watch a video for class on my tablet and write notes at the same time. The quality of this product is very high. It is nice and solid." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $58.81 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "Very comfortable. I am not pregnant but I still enjoy this item. I like how versatile it is and it keeps its shape well and is the same consistency the whole way throughout the pillow. If you are looking for support and comfort in a body pillow this is the one! I've been very curious about them since my friend started using hers several years ago. She cannot sleep without hers! I am not to that point yet but I may be soon. It would be a great gift idea as well." —Melody
Get it from Amazon for $57.99 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I had been using a regular size pillow under my legs or between my legs while sleeping to stabilize my spine due to a low back injury. It was very cumbersome and did not give great support. This cushy form pillow is great. It supports my legs in either position, is firm enough to stay in the same position and just the right size so it is easy to move from position to position. It is also the perfect size so I can see sticking it in my suitcase when I travel." —WJ

Promising review: "I'm so happy to have finally made this purchase. I occasionally deal with insomnia/wakeups and struggle to get back to sleep. I can't say for sure how much the blanket has helped, but I haven't experienced any of those problems since the blanket arrived. I sometimes wish I had gone with the 20 lb instead of 15, but that may be because the weight gets shared a bit with the body pillow I use and my sleeping kid, who sometimes shares a bed with me. I tend to sleep hot and have felt really comfortable, only sometimes getting rid of the flat sheet under the blanket." —Kelsey C.

My roommate bought this and I'm so glad she did because that means I can use it all the time. I start falling asleep within 20 minutes of laying under this thing 😭.
Promising review: "This product came properly packaged. It is made of very good quality material and the weight of the blanket was very evenly distributed. I would advise washing it before you use it to avoid the fur shedding all over your clothes initially." —Matthew
Get it from Amazon $61.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
Promising review: "Why I love: the scent is soft, natural, and refreshing like my old favorite lavender spray that I used up. Much, much better than the name brand sickly sweet synthetic smelling one that I picked up at Target. It's not overwhelming and still manages to freshen the room after changing toddlers diapers. I only wish the bottle was bigger!" —SER
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 12 scents and three sizes).
Promising review: "This duvet is beautiful and laundered well. I have more expensive linen sheets from another retailer that are not nearly the quality of Quince's sheets. Unlike my expensive sheets, this Quince duvet hasn't shed fibers and feels thick and substantial. I'll be buying a set of sheets to match the duvet!" —Kaitlyn M.

The sheets are 100% polyester and come with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and one or two pillowcases, depending on your size bed. They're designed to be fade-, stain-, shrink-, and wrinkle-resistant as well as hypoallergenic.
Promising review: "These sheets are insanely soft to the touch and comfortable to sleep on! I originally bought them for my 10-year-old son's bed because they were highly rated for softness and not that expensive. They truly are so soft. He loves them, so I decided to get some for the guest bedroom. They're so great that everyone who stays there wants to know what brand they are. They're awesome!! Now I have them for all of our beds. They are lightweight, so they dry quickly and don't pill. They are NOT cotton, which I'm usually a snob about, but I have to confess, I like these better than my four-times-as-expensive cotton sheets. I love them and the price!!" —Gwendolyn

This speaker changed the way I listen to music. It connects directly to Spotify so I command it to play whatever album, song, or playlist is in my spirit. I ask it about the weather, I command it to set alarms and timers, *and* I ask it math questions because I suck at doing calculations in my head. And I programmed it to speak to me in Issa Rae's voice 😌. The speaker is very easy to set up with the Bose Music App and I really like that I can play music via AirPlay, Bluetooth, or through Bose's App. I cranked this up to its top volume and my roommate joked that I was having a Stevie Wonder concert in my room. It lives in my room but I often pair it with my Soundbar 300 so I can hear the same tunes in my living room and kitchen. I'd love to have a Bose Smart Speaker in every room because I'm always listening to music. If you love music, get this speaker. It'll become the center of your home listening experience. It's also integrated with Amazon Music and Pandora.
Promising review: "I use my BOSE Home Speaker 500 as my only music speaker in my house. My floorplan is about 1,700 square feet so this speaker sounds super powerful throughout my whole home. I have linked my Amazon Music, Sirius XM, Spotify, and iHeartRadio through WIFI and am finally able to stream my favorite music to a super quality speaker. I wasn't sure if I would utilize the ALEXA voice assistant when I bought it but...WOW...now that I set up the app...holy cow...I don't know how I lived without her before.......I am in love! She is so smart and polite and funny and available...the technology is truly mind-shattering." —Amazon Customer

I tried the Inner Strength Set and they're truly such beautiful stones. I was drawn to Jasper first because I have no fire in my natal chart. Plus, it's said to be a very nurturing, grounding stone. First, I cleared the stones with smoke and then I set my intentions. Not only is it beautiful, the set is a wonderful reminder to advocate for myself.

Here's why my coworker loves it:
"I bought this a few weeks ago and have been using it as needed — like if there are nights I'm going to bed and feel a little more anxious than usual, or not as tired as I should be. I found that it helps put me a bit more in a sleep headspace for sure, but what I've really loved it for is when I wake up in the middle of the night. Usually if that happens I am wide awake for a few hours at least, and when that happens several times a week, it is, uh, Not Good. I'm reluctant to take melatonin or a sleeping aid so far into the middle of the night, but this has been *excellent* at helping me drift back to sleep without knocking me out and making me feel super groggy when it's actually time to get up. I just apply it to my temples and inner wrists as the seller suggests (they mention you can use it on your feet as well). It has a really nice scent to it that soothes without being overpowering at all; I really only notice it if my nose is like, right on my wrist, and it doesn't linger anywhere when I get up the next day. 11/10 recommend for anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night and wants a way to get back to sleep!" —Emma Lord

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sets. This is my second time purchasing one, and I practically live in them at home. It fits true to size, and the waist is adjustable and stretches! I also wear the tops with high waisted jeans or joggers since it is cropped. Definitely can be worn and styled differently." —Maegan Volpi

Folding a scarf is half the battle and I love that these are pre-folded. They're comfortable, easy to tie, and very cute. Although my first scarf was free, I ended up buying two more. They're that good. Sometimes they slip off, but that's usually when I tie them loosely. My hair is very fine. Using smooth, moisture-retaining fabrics like this drastically reduces my breakage.
Promising review: "Very impressed with this scarf. I use it for sleeping. The fact that it's cut in the shape of a triangle is perfect for pineappling my curly hair. The material is quality." —KatKat

Promising review: "I absolutely love this robe! I was hesitant about the type of fabric, and whether it would keep me warm or not. I wear a robe DAILY, to keep me warm around the house. It’s a perfect length, comes up to my knees (I’m 5’5) so it’s perfect to kneel in and not tripping on it when you get up. The fabric is soft, not plushie soft, but like cotton soft and it keeps me warm. Which is surprising for how lightweight this is. I wear this so often, I wanted to get another one to have on hand when the other is in the wash." —Wends

It works because the angle it helps you sit (aka squat) in is more conducive to an effortless bowel movement. Check out my colleague's Squatty Potty review to learn more about her experience.
Promising review: "I was hesitant about how much Squatty would impact my GI conditions but this is amazing. Although the stance is a bit awkward to experience at first, the results are immediate. After finishing, my lower abdomen is SO much more relaxed than a bowel movement without the Squatty. There is NONE of the strain/tightness/cramping I usually feel in my lower abdomen." —S. Levine

After months of contemplation, I finally got my hands on a steamer. I test a lot of beauty products, so my moisture barrier was compromised. Steamers hydrate my skin and encourage my pores to purge. I love using it in the morning to wake up my skin.
Promising review: "This steamer is AHHH-MAZING!!! I’ve gotten into the ritual of doing facials once a week. I used this product while doing a deep cleanse and it worked marvelously!!! The steam blows very well, but you can turn it up a notch by covering your head with a towel to help trap even more moisture. It has multiple settings including a humidifier setting which has really helped my daughter with her post-nasal issues. The towel warmer is incredible and provides just the right amount of soothing heat! I haven’t needed to use the blemish toolkit as of yet, but I’m sure it’ll come in handy." —KlassyLadee04

Promising review: "Best candle on the market! If you have pets or not, this candle lasts such a long time and the scents are not sweet and overpowering. If you're trying mask an odor or just want a beautiful smelling home. This candle is what you want. I use nothing else. I LOVE THEM!" —P Jarrett
